    Kalene Khan on Finding and Meeting Our Own Emotional Needs as Helpers and Allies

    Guest Kalene Khan shares her grief experience in response to George Floyd’s death, and the importance of self care and grieving as a response to racial injustice as activists and allies.

    Eunice Lee on Engaging with Systemic Racism as Asian Americans

Eunice reminds us the importance of acknowledging Asian Americans’ white adjacency and privilege.

    Guest Alex Ly shares how he was impacted by the Black Lives Matter movement, and his own journey of figuring out where he fits in as an Asian American in the movement.

    Leaves on a Stream

    Intrusive thoughts are unwelcome and uninvited thoughts that occupy your mind. It can happen when we feel stressed, when we feel anxiety, or when we are healing from a traumatic experience. And sometimes, these intrusive thoughts can start to snowball and feel unimaginably big and weighty. Mindfulness can help us have a different relationship with these intrusive thoughts. Rather than viewing them as unwelcome visitors that overstay their welcome, you can treat them instead as unexpected visitors that you turn away at the door. Join me as I lead us in a guided visualization to practice mindfulness with those intrusive thoughts. Please find a quiet place to participate, where you can be present without risk of interruptions of distractions.

    Fog and Stone Meditation

    Meditation can be used to reset your mind and your body, and to recenter yourself. If at any point during your day you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with your thoughts, anxiety, or stress, take a few minutes to find calmness and rest. Please find a quiet private place to participate, where you can be present without risk of interruptions or distractions.
