Breathe: A Message to Our Maya Community
Breathe.
In our practice, we emphasize the importance of breath. Breathing. Connectedness. We emphasize the importance of community, unity, togetherness.
Breathe.
We celebrate the differences that collectively make us whole. We practice mindfulness. Mindfulness of our minds, our bodies, our souls. Our breath.
Breathe.
Breathing Matters. Community Matters. Mindfulness Matters.
Black Lives Matter.
At Maya we took last week to pause, to reflect, to learn, to march, to cry, and to support each other so we could be better informed, better educated, and better prepared to support our community.
We stand in solidarity with the Black community. We stand against racism, systematic discrimination and oppression. We will continue to provide wellness services to those who may not otherwise have the financial or geographical access. And we will continue to learn and grow together. We don’t have all of the answers, but we will continue working towards solutions, equal access, and social justice.
It is in this spirit of community that we collectively mourn for those whose last breaths were stolen tragically, unjustly, prematurely. George Floyd. Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor. Too many others.
It is in the spirit of empathy that we pray for the families of those suffering through this injustice.
It is in the spirit of love that we support each other through this difficult period of angst and pain.
And it is in the spirit of mindfulness that we must collectively stand in support of, and recognize that
Black Lives Matter.
Thank you. Be mindful. Be thoughtful. Stand together. And don’t forget to breathe. Breathe for our brothers and sisters who no longer can.
Namaste.
