Mindfulness has helped me with impermanence, knowing that it's always going to pass and so how do we get through those moments of discomfort with equanimity and composure and integrity. Thoughts on Breathing I breathe every morning. In fact, I took time this morning, an hour before we recorded this. Breathing is central. I always remind myself if I'm in a tense situation or if I'm anxious to speak or facilitate a group of less than welcoming people, then I breathe. It always brings me back to centering where I can do my best work.

It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt or that I don't have feelings or that I don't get triggered. All of that happens, but because of mindfulness we absorb that, we sit with it so that we can respond instead of react. I will say to people, that is nothing, anything that I will receive is nothing compared to what black people and other people of color, experience every day of their lives.

“Compassion is the wish that everyone, without exception, is free from pain and suffering and its causes.” - Ruth King in Mindful of Race: Transforming Racism from the Inside Out We envision a world in which we live and grow as One Global Family that respects and honours the interconnectedness of all life. In her book Mindful of Race: Transforming Racism from the Inside Out Ruth King says, “Bearing witness to racial suffering without turning away, we discover our humanity, our innate kinship.” We also discover our One Global Family. Using compassion, we say their names in order to stay present so that we can individually and collectively heal racism. This is the work of our times, the work we must do in order to truly live as One Global Family. Reverend Cassandra Rae is an unexpected minister!

“As we become more conscious of our conditioning as racial beings and as one collective force, we enhance the whole of humanity through our lived example.” - Ruth King in Mindful of Race: Transforming Racism from the Inside Out There are so many taboo topics many of us will not touch.

What could shift if we embraced and communicated courageously, openly, and vulnerably about these things many of us avoid? Join us as we continue on our path of becoming Mindful of Race. This week we explore Ruth King’s ideas of cultivating a culture of care using her three principles of social harmony. Reverend Cassandra Rae is an unexpected minister!
