Join us for a special Disability Pride Month guided meditation designed to help disabled individuals heal from internalized ableism and celebrate their unique strengths. This session promotes self-love, respect, and pride in one's identity. Follow along as we guide you through deep breathing, body awareness, and empowering affirmations. Embrace the diversity and beauty of your differences and find peace in honoring your body's limits. Perfect for anyone looking to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and embrace their true self.
Meditation has numerous evidence-based benefits for mental and physical health. Research shows that regular meditation practice can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by promoting relaxation and emotional regulation. It enhances focus, attention, and cognitive flexibility, improving overall brain function. Additionally, meditation has been found to lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and reduce symptoms of chronic pain. By fostering a sense of inner peace and well-being, meditation can significantly enhance one's quality of life.

The title reminded me so much of the damage that has been done to me I was not able to do the meditation. Just doing meditation is not going to help me recover from abuse by medical doctors I have suffered. I am so sick of Ableist doctors who told me I was perfectly healthy, refused me a handicap placard, told me I needed to walk when I was in so much pain and having to use crutches, stuch a diagnosis of two mental illnesses on me because I was upset by their callous mistreatment. Sorry, I don't think a meditation session is going to heal what is wrong.

@@brendaf3132 We wish you healing as you continue this journey. The dehumanizing trauma of medical ableism isn't something that can be fixed with a single meditation by any means. There's a tremendous amount of policy and educational change that's still needed. NCHPAD is committed to advocating for these changes by educating the institutions involved and empowering disabled people in anyway we can.
