Engaging with Mindfulness
Mindfulness is an essential practice for racial and social equity engagement, as it generates the calm, clarity, and compassion needed to meaningfully show up for this work. Practicing mindfulness of equity involves paying attention to the impacts of our actions with non-judgmental observation of the flow of internal and external stimuli. In racial equity, diversity and inclusion foundational workshops with Nathan, simple breathing exercises are introduced to help participants pay attention inward and ground themselves to stay open. There are many techniques used to develop mindfulness. The term “mindfulness” is a translation of the word “sati” in the Pali language that dates back to around 5 B.C. from the Indian subcontinent. It is an ancient practice for the development of awareness and serenity. It is associated with meditation and is deeply rooted in ethical and philosophical teachings of Buddhism.
