SLIDE 2
SLIDE 3
REPLAYING BEHAVIOR, UNCONSCIOUSLY
- Learning how to read, relating to the words on the page
- Learning how to relate to my feelings, based on how I was taught (anxiety
example)
- Learning how to relate to white structures
– Inferior acting
- Learning how to relate to Black people
– Superior acting
- A “dynamic”, not one side or another
SLIDE 4
MINDFULNESS: A SOLUTION
- Oppressive dynamics are an issue of unconsciousness or
lack of full contact with the present moment, failing to notice: –Generational patterns of relating that DON’T work –Suffering we cause ourselves by not speaking our truth –Suffering we cause others by only allowing our own truth
- Mindfulness practice increases our contact with the
present moment.
