Thanks Vidya. That was truly awesome. People could do so well if they learned how

to connect to themselves.

Let’s move back to Sydney now and welcome back resilience and mindfulness

specialist, Chibs Okereke who will help us to appreciate how mindfulness can

support us to create a space that allows anger, confusion and shame to express

themselves without us reacting to them. Welcome Chibs!

Using Mindfulness To

Combat Racism

by Chibs Okereke

June 1st 2020 - I went to bed at

11 pm, fell straight asleep, and

woke up just after midnight

with a strange feeling in my

chest. I had never experienced this sensation

before. At first, I thought it might be something I’d

eaten, and then I thought it was perhaps a panic

attack.

I turned to my Mindfulness practice and scanned

through my Rolodex of emotions—It didn’t feel like

dread, fear, anger or sadness, I could not place the

feeling. I tried sitting up, lying on my back, curling

into a ball, putting on a podcast in the background,

walking around my room, watching YouTube. Nothing

would shift it. It reminded me of a bout of food

poisoning I once had where no matter what position I

put myself in, I couldn’t get more than a few seconds

of relief. The sensation in my chest was not pain,

it was a feeling of heaviness. I’m not sure how to

explain it, but at that moment, I would have preferred

pain. I’d been looking after myself, I’d been eating

well and I had gone to bed tired, so it made no sense.

There were a few unsettling things in my life, but

nothing too out of the ordinary.
