Thomas is joined by Rhonda V. Magee, a leading mindfulness teacher, practice innovator, author, and Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco. They discuss how mindfulness has evolved from its roots in traditional Buddhism to an increasingly popular modern practice. Rhonda stresses the need for us to look at the deeper traditional teachings of mindfulness in their original contexts so that their depth and core essence aren't lost.  She and Thomas also explore what Rhonda calls “Soulful Mindfulness,” which delves into musical and cultural practices originating in the Black American experience that has helped Black people survive from the era of slavery into the racism and oppression of the modern era. Rhonda explains how our attachment to individuality can lead to oppression, but our capacity for loving acceptance and compassion can lead to social transformation.

“Your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Col. 3). Acts 10:34-43 Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24 Colossians 3:1-4 Matthew 28:1-10 When are you most fully alive? My friend Rhonda Magee felt fully alive when she was sixteen years old. The world was opening up, college was around the corner. Life had not been easy but she had reason to hope. Rhonda and a boy named Jake were head over heels in love. Then just before she left town for a summer university course, he told her over the phone, “My father kicked me out of the house.” She asked him why. He said, “You know why… I told you how he is. It's because of us. He said no son of his is going to be dating a black girl…” [1]   Rhonda felt gripped by pain. She was an A student and about to be chosen as the town's Teenager of the Year. Yet her race – a category created by others and that she felt did not capture much of who she really was – made her unacceptable to Jake's parents. They had never met her. And yet they were willing to hurt their own son, and therefore themselves, all to teach him, Rhonda and anyone else a lesson. They believed in white supremacy so strongly that they were ready to throw their own son out like garbage.   We all have beliefs like this. They diminish us and damage the people around us. The social theorist bell hooks asserts that racism in America is a crisis of “lovelessness.” Certainly the current anti-LGBTQ+ legislation illustrates the terrible lovelessness that has this country in its grip. The poverty in this city does too. But these are just a few of many stories we carry that poison our life, that prevent us from ever being fully alive.   The stories we tell about ourselves as individuals also can harm us. Even as a child the psychologist Brené Brown knew that, “People will do almost anything to not feel pain, including causing pain and abusing power.” She realized that, “very few people can handle being held accountable without rationalizing, blaming or shutting down.” As a result, “Without understanding how our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors work together, it's almost impossible to find our way back to ourselves and each other. When we don't understand how our emotions shape our thoughts and decisions, we become disembodied from our own experiences and disconnected from each other.” [2]   We feel alive when we come home to ourselves and to God, when we can become connected in a new way to our past and to each other. This encounter, the forgiveness we experience in Jesus, lies at the heart of the resurrection. Easter is the chance for a new story to take hold in our life. It is the beginning of a new era when everyone will belong and have the chance to thrive. God's love dares to include those who do not fit, the ones who the powerful cannot abide. [3] Through God we can be free of the hold that fear and death have on us.   No one really knows what happened at dawn that morning before Mary Magdalene and the other Mary felt the earth shaking. They saw the guards frozen like dead men by fear, watched an angel who looked like lightning come down from heaven and roll back the stone at the tomb. There is no way to make Easter fully understandable.   This does not mean it is illogical. Matt Fitzgerald remembers the Easter when his daughter was in kindergarten and the church sent each child home with a plastic purple Easter egg. Inside was not chocolate but a little slip of paper. His daughter was learning to read and so she sounded out the three word message. “He is… raisins?”  “He is raisins is illogical. He is risen is merely incomprehensible.” When we speak about God we have to “distinguish between things that do not make sense and things we cannot make sense of.” [4] God cannot be contained, confined, described or defined. But we can meet God in the person of Jesus on Easter morning.   The Gospels of Mark and Luke mention anointing, but in the Gospel of Matthew the women come simply “to see” the tomb. The Greek word theōrēsai means to observe, analyze, discern with the connotation that one is involved and committed. It is related to our words theory, theoretical and theater, that onstage action which helps us to better understand human life. After meeting the angel, the two women leave the tomb quickly with fear and great joy. Jesus greets them with a word (xairete) that means both hello and rejoice (like the word aloha means hello and love). He says, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me” (Mt. 28). He offers this message of comfort and forgiveness to friends who abandoned him.   In the second century Irenaeus said that the Glory of God is the human being fully alive. Feeling fully alive often involves an experience of joy. What is joy?   Greek has the word makarios for happiness or blessedness. It is the word repeated frequently in the beatitudes as in, “blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Mt. 5). The ancient Greeks regarded this kind of happiness as the freedom that rich people might have from normal cares and worries. These are the people who have good fortune, health and money. [5] On the other hand the Greek word for joy is xara. It is related to our word Grace. It means to be fulfilled. The perfect version of xara can only found in God. The Greeks thought that this experience does not surprise us haphazardly. Rather this joy naturally comes with wisdom and virtue. To use more modern language it is the pleasure that comes with spiritual connection. We do not lose ourselves in joy – we become more deeply ourselves in it. [6]   Joy is surprisingly difficult for us. Part of the reason for this is that joy as an emotion requires us to be vulnerable. Last winter I came across a new expression for a feeling I recognize. It is “foreboding joy.” [7] It refers to that sense of hesitation we feel when it comes to joy. We don't want to be too joyful because we are irrationally afraid that this will somehow cause something bad to happen.   Psychologists who study this say that 95 percent of parents interviewed have experienced this with their children. We hold back because we think it will make us hurt less later.   One man in his sixties said, “I used to think that the best way to go through life was to expect the worst. That way, if it happened you were prepared, and if it didn't happen you would be pleasantly surprised. Then I was in a car accident and my wife was killed. Needless to say, expecting the worst didn't prepare me at all. And worse, I still grieve for all of those wonderful moments we shared and that I didn't fully enjoy. My commitment to her is to fully enjoy every moment... I just wish she was here, now that I know how to do that.” [8]   Experiencing joy means being vulnerable in love. So how do we cultivate a propensity for joy in our ordinary lives beyond a willingness to really feel joy and to let others see our weakness? The simple answer is to practice gratitude. Gratitude is not an attitude, it is not a feeling. It is something we do over and over, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. For me gratitude lies at the heart of my prayer life and what we do here.   Last week I was giving a tour of the archives when I found a sermon Alan Jones preached at Grace Cathedral in 1990. It moved me so deeply that I wanted just to read the entire manuscript to you. Alan refers to a French priest named Jean Sulivan who describes Western cultures as spiritually impoverished and undeveloped, as unawake and unaware of the miracle right in front of our noses. [9]   That miracle is the miracle of being. It is the miracle that we are. If you want a miracle look at yourself. Our life is the love story of God trying to reach us, to help us.   Have you ever wanted to meet a famous person? I always wished that I could spend a day with the nineteenth century poet Walt Whitman. He wrote a poem called “Miracles.”   “… As to me I know of nothing else but miracles, / Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan, / Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky, / Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge / of the water, / Or talk by day with any one I love, or sleep in the bed at night with any one I love, / Or sit at table at dinner with the rest, / Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car, / Or watch honey-bees around the hive of a summer forenoon… Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars / shining so quiet and bright, / Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring; / These with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles, / The whole referring, yet each distinct and in its place…” [10]   When are you most fully alive? In the face of overwhelming lovelessness, and the pain that causes more pain, there is a new story. Jesus calls us to come home to ourselves and to God. So in gratitude let us see the world with a new intent. Let us leave behind our foreboding joy and know nothing else but miracles. The Lord is risen. [1] Rhonda V.

MageeOn Integrative Law“It's about holistic. It's about the opportunity for us to participate in healthy or therapeutic ways of interacting within a conflict scenario. It's about helping us see our own humanity and with humility to learn from each other about how to navigate this time. It's opening the door on the original medicine that each one of us brings into the law.What is that we might to do to deepen that sense that this is about a holistic process through which we might heal ourselves, heal the separateness between and amongst our communities, each other, and between human beings and our planet.To me, it about the notion of integrative – is fundamentally about healing separations --- and that I think is the deep call of this, not just this subfield or orientation to practicing law but of this moment. I feel like there is a reason – just all of us in a pause with coronavirus on the one hand, climate distress on the other, inequality happening at radical levels.  We are at a time where we, I feel, are called – called to really look at how are systems including the powerful system of law – - how these systems that we inherited and that we participate in are perpetuating separations that are not to the ultimate good of us as human beings or the planet.So, how can we bring our integrative repair, restorative dimension right into our particular role in the system.  That's the question that animates integrative law.”  Rhonda V. MageeOn Racial Justice“Justice is about love in action.  Racial justice is love in action for the alleviation of the harms of racism, the harms they do all of us, but certainly particularly those who are its targets and intended victims.  We're really bringing love and action to repair the separations – but to heal the separations and repair the harm of racism”Rhonda V. MageeTo me, that's the joy that comes in this work. It's not that we find the ultimate resolution of these big questions that have plagued humanity for all time.  It's that we recognize that in doing the work together, there is some sense of the resolution if, you know, the ending of suffering in being together in ways that make the most of the moments that we have…you how that is justice.”Rhonda V.

Rhonda V. Magee is a professor of law at the University of San Francisco. She is also a highly practiced facilitator of trauma-sensitive, restorative Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) interventions for lawyers and law students. Rhonda Magee sat down with Mindful's managing editor, Stephanie Domet to talk about why her work in social justice is important to her, how she navigates the difficult feelings that arise, what it looks like when she loses her cool—and why she's not interested in burning it all down and starting again, because even in intergenerationally dark times, she says, there's still the ability to love. And love can carry us through.

Please enjoy this episode with law professor Rhonda Magee from the Universityof San Francisco Law School. She has 25+ years experience teaching and working in the areas of mindfulness and race. Her book, “The Inner Work of racial Justice” is an instruction manual and work book on how to have hard conversations around race and racism in the US. Her fundamental proposition and encouragement is first to be gentle with yourself and do self care. Learn mindfulness and enter into this process with grace and forgiveness. The second, stay engaged. She believes if we all commit to stay in conversation with each other we will find that we are more alike then different. She sees healing in learning about each other and in the power of story telling. The episode is rich and deep and covers a lot of ground. Enjoy!!!

Last week's episode was all about QAnon and how conspiracy theories can divide us as a nation. One of the things we think we can do to bridge the divide is bring mindfulness and skills around living with mindfulness into conversations about race, racism, identity, and beliefs - and to do that, we got to speak with an incredible law professor named Rhonda McGee. In speaking with Rhonda, we learned not only about the role of law in helping - and hurting - racial divides, but we also discussed the role of mindfulness in helping people come into a grounded space to do this work in the first place. Once we added in her own brand of racial awareness called ColorInsight, we left this conversation with not only some reframed concepts but a deeper understanding of why we all need to be doing this work. Have questions, comments, or concerns? Email us at hello@dearwhitewomen.com What to listen for: How her background in law drew her into mindfulness - this part will blow your mind For those who are new to mindfulness and new to meditation, Professor McGee leading us through an actual few minutes of meditation!

Did the Women's movement, the #LGBTQIA movement, and Immigrants benefit from the work of Foundational Black Americans? Can Mindfulness practices help Activists to fully address systemic American problems? Can a Praying Grandmother leave a legacy of tenacity?

You don't want to miss this layered conversation that addresses racism, privilege and fragility.  Experts Rhonda Magee, Ram Mahalingam and Mirabai Bush talk to Barry about contemplative practice and equity issues.

Rhonda draws on her experiences and teachings to discuss how mindfulness can aid in conversations about race, but also how mindfulness practices can evolve to allow for more inclusion and discussion.  The key is that change doesn't happen instantly; it is long and persistent work that requires patience and compassion, both of which are found in mindfulness.  Show notes: Rhonda V.
