13-Minute Meditation Practice for Wise Action
13-Minute Meditation Practice for Wise Action
In this practice, we will move through the four stages of human bridge-building. We’ll explore how we show up in each of the four transformation quadrants of self, family, community, and organizations. The breath we focus on is the normal flow of the in-and-out breath, allowing it to rest in its natural rhythm and cadence, as we meet what arises with self-compassion and curiosity.
Self
Self
How did I show up in the world today? How did my privilege show up through me?What actions can I take to help become more aware of my privilege and its impact on others?
We don’t have to know all the answers. We are simply inviting in reflection and introspection to allow insights and awareness of body and mind to arise. Whatever arises, see if you can meet it with self-compassion and curiosity.
Family
Family
Community
Community
With whom do you tend to interact in your community? And with whom do you not interact? Why?… Go deeper… Why?
Organizations
Organizations
What do you notice?What do you feel in your body?What stories or mental narratives arise when you think of this person or these people?What can you do differently to model and create a brave and safe space for all to flourish?
Let us rest here for the next few moments in contemplation. 12. Taking three deep breaths in and out, letting go of thoughts and bringing your attention back to the sensation of your breath. As you close this meditation, I invite you to journal on what came up for you and what action steps you may wish to take. This practice is based on the four stages of human bridge-building outlined in A Bridge To Better: An Open Letter To Humanity and Resource Guide.
