Black Meditation: Ten Practices for Self-Care, Mindfulness, and Self-DeterminationEnhance your self-care and activate your inner resources.When talking about mindfulness, a lot of people avoid talking about race-despite these practices coming from the lands of Black and Brown people.This book is different: the author is Black and the message is Black. The purpose is to encourage spiritual consciousness, anti-racist awareness, and social change that benefits all people.Reading Black Meditation will teach you about Kemetic principles, visualization techniques, and methods for cultivating self-love and self-respect. Cultivate your inner greatness by using guided meditations and writing exercises.Here are the chapter titles for each of the 10 chapters:Cultivation: Introducing Black MeditationPurpose: The Goal Is to SitDiscipline: Breath and BodyVision: Envisioning a DirectionGratitude: Written Words to YourselfBlessings: Affirming SpiritCourage: Stepping outside of our PatternsResilience: Recovering from our TraumaStrength: Links and BoundariesLove: The Missing IngredientBecause I am not the only Black Meditator out there, I also included 6 short interviews with some expert Black Meditators from my city and my circle: Feugang Donald, Brandon Dawson-Jarvis, Vonnette Forde, Jacqueline Powell, Astin L.
