Working with my thoughts and emotions skillfully is certainly part of it, but there's more to it. It is that you can have all the right beliefs about social equality and still practice oppression.
What happens when you blend spiritual practices with a commitment to anti-racism? Sonia Roberts, an educator, writer, and activist, joins Eric Zimmer on The One You Feed to discuss just that. Sonia, known for her Spiritually Speaking blog and her book *White Ally: A Guide To Cultivating A Deeply Spiritual Anti-Racism Practice*, dives into the synergy between inner transformation and outer activism.
She opens up about her personal experiences with systemic racism and how she uses yoga and meditation to process these challenges and drive change. Sonia and Eric also discuss the ethical dimensions of mindfulness and yoga, highlighting how these practices can sometimes be misused as a form of bypassing. They touch on the importance of balancing personal growth with societal responsibilities, and the crucial role of education in fostering anti-racism.
Throughout the episode, Sonia emphasizes the power of intent versus impact, urging listeners to use their privilege to support marginalized communities. This episode is a compelling listen for anyone interested in the fusion of spirituality and social justice.
