Get Right Within

Thrive from inside with the power of mindfulness, racial awareness and reclaiming your joy with Jenee Johnson, thought leader, mindfulness expert, talking honestly about transforming the Black experience in America and finding the quiet inside that restores resiliency and inspires calm confidence.  In this open and honest conversation, Jenee shares insights from her new The Right Within Experience, an experiential mindfulness program committed to the reclamation of humanity, joy and wellbeing for people of African ancestry. In this episode, Jenee and Anne talk about the power of practicing sankofa, an African word which translates as “retreive” meaning to go back and get or reclaim the complete, exalted right to express your full humanity and thrive and how mindfulness, prayer and spacious contemplation can help along the path. This includes the ability to pause, taking a moment to reflect and consider how to respond to what is happening around you and to you; know what burdens are yours to carry, and what are those of others to acknowledge and accept. Jenee and Anne also discuss Jenee’s spiritual practices and beliefs, including getting quiet regularly, opening yourself and finding God’s hand in your life and how to search for “sparkly crumbs” in your path. PRACTICE: RECLAIM YOUR JOY This episode closes with Jenee leading a heart-focused breathing practice that quiets depleting emotions, calms mind and body and helps bring about a sense of deep coherence.
