Affirmation Meditation for Survivors
In honor of Sexual Assault Advocacy Month, MEV program director Latishia James-Portis, known affectionately as Rev. Pleasure, has created an offering of guided affirmation meditations for survivors. Here she shares the “rooted flow” affirmation meditation. This meditation is a reminder to survivors that no matter what, they are always connected to the source of creation and to themselves; even when survival coping mechanisms like dissociation or cultural misconceptions try to keep us disconnected from our bodies and our communities, we are rooted.
