In today's episode, Dr. Liang shares her first-hand experience of Anti-Asian racism and microaggressions, helping to bring awareness to the fact that there has been a 149% increase in Asian American Pacific Islander hate crimes reported in 16 major cities in the US over this past year.  Dr. Liang shares how mindfulness can be used to choose constructive responses in the face of racism all while honoring and holding space for discomfort and anger.  Inspired by the work of Law Professor Rhonda Magee, internationally renowned mindfulness teacher and author of "The Inner Work of Racial Justice Healing Ourselves and Transforming Our Communities Through Mindfulness", we share insights on anti-racism, and how you can start becoming more aware of your own biases.  We challenge you with mindful curiosity, to ask hard questions of yourself, and to have difficult conversations regarding racism.  We welcome you to begin your journey of awareness towards recognizing your biases by taking this test: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html If you want to begin your own mindfulness journey and transform your life through mindful coaching, join us in the Mindful Healers Platinum Package.  It includes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Introduction to Mindful Coaching and  Dr. Liang’s CME accredited Mindful Physician Course.
