S2 E14 How Meditation & Mindfulness Counteract Racism’s Life-Threatening Health Effects
<p>Racism has a profound negative impact on our mental and physical health. It affects children and adults, leading to illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, and an increased risk of cancer.<br />
With my special guest, LaMarr Darnell Shields, PhD, the Founder and Senior Director of Education and Innovation at the Cambio Group, and author of “Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There: 65 Days of Meditation to Transform Your Life,” we discuss:<br />
• racism’s harmful impact on children’s development and mental health,<br />
• how racism alters our genes and causes illness in adults and children,<br />
• how mindfulness decreases implicit bias and overeating,<br />
• how meditation and mindfulness connect you to your deeper sacred self and the sacred in everything, enabling you to counteract the life-threatening health effects of racism.<br />
Meditation and mindfulness can literally save your life!<br />
