Feeling rooted in my body is so important to finding my center. Whiteness/white supremacy is a culture of disembodiment, and re-learning how to fully inhabit my body is a lifelong process.
Feel your body today. Notice it’s strengths and its aches. Be gentle with your body today.
When I have problems sleeping, I force myself to count slowly starting at 100, and working my way down. If thoughts of the day begin to creep in, I stop counting, take a deep breath and then go back to 100 to count down again
Take a moment to count. Feel your body relax as you do so.
My family is the center of my universe. How I define family is up to me and differs at any point in time.
Who are the people who nurture you and call you back to your center?
I am working on mindfulness as centering. Consciously noticing my thoughts, accepting them without judgment, and letting them go peacefully helps me re-center when I feel distracted.
Spend a few moments practicing mindfulness today, focusing intently on what is before you and doing it with intention.
I seek those things that realign my mind, body and spirit.
What is it that aligns your mind, body, and spirit? How do you know when there is alignment there? What does that feel like?
