DAY 7: Reflection on Week One, Looking Ahead to Week Two,

Racism, and confronting racism, involves feelings--emotional and physical--as much as ideas and concepts. Recognizing these emotions and physical reactions is crucial to effecting lasting change. As you reflect on this week's prompts and resources, what feelings and reactions arose for you? What did you notice in your body? Why do you think some things had more emotional impact than others on you?

For more information on tuning into emotions and embodied intelligence, check out The Move to End Violence and The Focusing Institute.
