Healing Ancestral Wounds: Embracing the Black Body with Buddhist Teachings
“Every time a police car passes by us, every time we see a policeman, we stop breathing and we have to learn to come home to the body.”
In this episode of the Buddhist Recovery Network Podcast, listeners are invited to a profound discussion on healing ancestral trauma and finding peace within the black body. Against the backdrop of significant events like the Chauvin trial and the tragic death of Daunte Wright, this talk, originally given in the fall of 2020, remains deeply relevant today.
The conversation, featuring Sherry, Jostling, Esther, and Terran, delves into the harsh realities of police brutality and its impact on black and indigenous communities. They share personal stories and insights on how Buddhist practices can offer solace and strength. This episode underscores the importance of self-love and acceptance, especially for people of color who face systemic challenges. It's an inspiring and compassionate dialogue that sheds light on using mindfulness and Buddhist principles to navigate addiction and compulsive behaviors.
If you're seeking a heartfelt perspective on healing from racial trauma, this episode is a must-listen.
