Black Meditation: Ten Practices for Self-Care, Mindfulness, and Self-Determination

Enhance your self-care and activate your inner resources.

When talking about mindfulness, a lot of people avoid talking about race-despite these practices coming from the lands of Black and Brown people.

This book is different: the author is Black and the message is Black. The purpose is to encourage spiritual consciousness, anti-racist awareness, and social change that benefits all people.

Reading Black Meditation will teach you about Kemetic principles, visualization techniques, and methods for cultivating self-love and self-respect. Cultivate your inner greatness by using guided meditations and writing exercises.

Here are the chapter titles for each of the 10 chapters:

• Cultivation: Introducing Black Meditation
• Purpose: The Goal Is to Sit
• Discipline: Breath and Body
• Vision: Envisioning a Direction
• Gratitude: Written Words to Yourself
• Blessings: Affirming Spirit
• Courage: Stepping outside of our Patterns
• Resilience: Recovering from our Trauma
• Strength: Links and Boundaries
• Love: The Missing Ingredient

Because I am not the only Black Meditator out there, I also included 6 short interviews with some expert Black Meditators from my city and my circle: Feugang Donald, Brandon Dawson-Jarvis, Vonnette Forde, Jacqueline Powell, Astin L. Davis, and Claude Kamga.
