Imani (Faith) is one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, the seven-day non-religious holiday that begins on December 26. In this episode we'll dive into faith and how its manifested around the world. But of course, before we talk about faith, we'll sit and meditate for ten minutes. 

The Buddha once said, “Nothing is permanent, except change.” In many ways, impermanence is the nature of life. This is a comforting truth when we're experiencing something unpleasant but perhaps not so reassuring when we're having a great time. In this episode, I'll share a short story that illustrates the importance of being able to accept that all things are subject to change. Of course we'll meditate before getting into the story.

James Baldwin once said, "You know, it's not the world that was my oppressor, because what the world does to you, if the world does it to you long enough and effectively enough, you begin to do to yourself." This world can be tough. At any given moment, we can witness an incredible amount of positivity and negativity. We're constantly being told to be positive, yet scientists say that we have a negativity bias. So what should we do? Today's episode features a longer than usual meditation where you'll have an opportunity to experience the power that comes with paying attention to your life force.  

For most of my life, I had no clue what it meant to hold space for someone. I always thought that if someone was confiding in me and sharing some difficult emotions that I had to say something to make the person feel better. I was convinced that I had to at least attempt to fix whatever the issue was. Little did I know that what I really needed to was be aware of what was coming up for myself, listen deeply to the other person and validate what I was hearing. In this episode, we'll meditate for ten minutes and then discuss the art of holding space.  Enjoy this session and be sure to subscribe to my mailing list at www.whenthevillagemeditates.com

Lately I've been thinking a lot about how to bring the same curiosity I carry with me when I'm traveling outside of the city or country to my every day life. After all, there's always so much to explore and uncover wherever we may find ourselves. In this episode we'll meditate for ten minutes and then I'll talk about a recent trip I made within my city and how it reminded me of the importance of human interaction.
