From Sounds True’s podcast “Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon and Rev. angel take a deep look at how society shapes our sense of belonging—and how we can all take back the power to belong for ourselves.
They also discuss:
- Why embodied belonging transcends that which our entire sense of self and reality is based upon—be it class, race, gender, religion, family, or other factors
- The body as our arbiter of truth and key to understanding our emotional well-being
- A calming “point meditation” that centers our awareness on the core, a part of the body that holds immense physical and spiritual power
- Why people from marginalized communities in particular can benefit from this practice to cultivate belonging they may otherwise be deprived of
- “Basic OK-ness”—a term Rev. angel uses to describe our ability to return to ourselves with a feeling of “I am OK, this is OK” amid whatever is happening around or within us
- The challenges Rev. angel faced within the Zen lineage, and how she ultimately chose to be true to herself and leave the priestly path
- Forgiveness as a form of ritualizing permission to move on, with or without the participation of others
- Rev. angel’s definition of true community: when we don’t have to leave any part of ourselves behind in order to feel at ease in the presence of others
Rev. angels’ new audio program, Belonging: From Fear to Freedom on the Path to True Community, published by Sounds True is out now!
