Justice in the Body
anatomy of injustice
3 myths we must be willing to let go of:
justice in the body
works with individuals and communities
to dissolve injustice and to discover freedom,
mind body & soul.
Historically, all of us grew up in a world where we experienced and/or witnessed prejudice, bias & discrimination EVERYDAY.
fear [feer] –noun
1. a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.
Signficant beliefs got embedded in our bodies & minds early on.
Someone can be superior or inferior to another
There is not enough
for everyone
Prejudice and Injustice affect only the target group
1.
Experiencing and/or witnessing hatred, prejudice, fear, objectification, disgust, manipulation & terror are powerful experiences that we had no choice but to adapt to...
...and the thing is, as human beings, we are WIRED to avoid that which we fear.
2.
WHEN TAUGHT AT A YOUNG AGE THAT ENTIRE GROUPS OF PEOPLE ARE INFERIOR, WRONG, DANGEROUS & THREATENING, WE REACT ACCORDINGLY...
When one groups 'freedom' is based on another groups lack of freedom, the entire notion of freedom is irrevocably tainted, and we must start over.
JUSTICE IN THE BODY begins to unravel & unpack these links between body, beliefs & fear.
3.
how do we work with fight, flight and freeze in regards to prejudice?
WE EXPERIENCE FIGHT OR FLEE. THIS IS INVOLUNTARY AND REFLEXIVE REACTION IN OUR BODY. AND IF FOR SOME REASON WE CANNOT FIGHT OR FLEE, WE FREEZE. ONCE BELIEFS GET EMBEDDED, USUALLY AT AN EARLY AGE, WE EITHER WANT TO GET AWAY FROM THEM OR WE WANT TO KILL THEM.
