An Offering for This Moment from Sarah Yeung

As we witness actions of hate continue, it’s difficult to find words – any words, let alone the “right words”. I’ll try to keep my words short and share an offering of meditation and sound instead.

I share a guided meditation and guided relaxation with a short sound bath with the intention to help us ground, breathe, and come back to ourselves – and perhaps each other, no matter how we may seem similar or different - again and again.

To my AAPI community:

We are not invisible. You are seen.

We are not foreigners in our own homes. You belong.

We are not insignificant statistics. You matter.

Especially during challenging times, take extra care - of yourselves, of each other.

It is not a shame to feel. It’s not a sign of weakness to rest. It is not a burden to ask for help.

I see you. I hear you. I am with you in this fight to be seen, to be heard, to feel safe. You are not alone.

To our allies:

Thank you for standing in solidarity. Please check in with AAPIs, educate yourselves, and join us in actions towards social justice for all.

I believe we are all interconnected. Our sufferings and pain are woven together, just as our liberations are shared. We rise by lifting each other up. We heal collectively by truly seeing each other, listening to different perspectives, and taking impactful actions together.

To all:

I share a metta (lovingkindness) blessing: May we all be safe. May we all be healthy. May we all be happy and free.
