Main Points:
- Grounding meditation + invocation
- Taking time to ground in your own energy & integrate so we may invite more spaciousness into our lives
- Recognizing that we all have different ways in which we can support BIPOC
- Working to make sure that there is diversity in my own creative projects to include this podcast as well as people that I am following on social media
- Educating ourselves and having the uncomfortable conversations with people we know + taking the responsibility to speak up against racism
- Digging deep into ourselves to let go of old programming’s related to racism & white supremacy
- Addressing trauma that is stuck in our bodies through the breath
Some journal prompts that have been helping me:
- How can I create more spaciousness in my life?
- What things are keeping me small?
- How am I nurturing myself and thus my community?
- How does the topic of racism & white supremacy make me feel?
- Where is it felt in my body? Where has it come from?
- How can I begin to move this energy out to invite in Love?
