My favorite meditations: “Queer Practice – Trust the Roots”

Happy Pride y’all! To celebrate Pride month, I’m sharing one of my all-time favorite meditations, from Buddhist teacher Michael Lobsang Tenpa. This meditation is specifically for queer folks; it guides us to find our roots at a time when our rights are being threatened across the nation and around the world.

This meditation has been a touchstone for me. I turn to it anytime I feel a lack of belonging in this normative world. Lobsang Tenpa’s invitation to call in support from our ancestors, loved ones, and from the earth helps me get grounded in a way few things do when I’m feeling triggered. I hope this meditation offers you as much solace as it’s brought me:
