This is a loving kindness meditation in honor of George Floyd for racial healing.
I invite you to get comfortable and settle into your meditation position,
Whether that is sitting or lying down,
Whatever supports your stillness while maintaining alertness.
Our intention is to honor George Floyd and to set our intentions on racial healing and loving kindness.
We'll begin with sending loving kindness to ourselves so we can share it forward.
Take a deep breath in and hold and then exhale.
Take another deep breath in and hold and let that go.
One more deep breath in and hold and let that go.

Next we set our intention for the family of George Floyd.
I like to picture his little girl surrounded by his relatives and her proclaiming that her daddy was changing the world.
See a good picture of them in your mind and repeat to yourself,
May you be well.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be safe,
Supported and protected.

For the black community,
Our brothers and sisters who have been unsupported,
Oppressed and traumatized since their arrival in pre-colonial United States history.

For our legal system and those employed in it,
That they seek systemic change and work toward fair practices for our black brothers and sisters,
Then we can say justice for all.
May you be well.

For our politicians and citizen voters,
That they co-create systems that reflect equality and justice for all,
The premise that our country was built upon,
Especially for our black citizens.
