Being with Discomfort

“Sometimes when we’re talking about things like racism or systems of oppression, regardless of the identities we may be holding, there’s a resistance to the discomfort these conversations can bring. They’re hard to have. And they can remind us of the ways we’re not living in alignment.”

—Kelley Nicole Palmer

Many of us, through socialization and experience, don’t trust our ability to withstand discomfort. We don’t trust our ability to look deeply at ourselves, and to recognize the ways we’re upholding systems of oppression without being overcome with shame, guilt, or regret. Then we might face a story that we don’t have what it takes to undo it, to be with it, or to bring curiosity to our experience. Meditation can give us tools to trust ourselves. In this short guided meditation, Kelley Nicole Palmer offers a space to sit and lean in to the practice as a pathway to creating a more just and equitable world.
