Deep dives

The Power of Radical Self-Love

Radical self-love is a transformative practice that goes beyond a mere phrase. It is a commitment that allows us to fully embrace and revel in the sensations and experiences of our bodies. By breaking free from the Western paradigm that diminishes our bodies and their stories, we can learn to love and accept ourselves on a deep level. This practice is especially crucial for marginalized bodies, such as aging bodies, queer bodies, disabled bodies, fat bodies, trans bodies, and black and brown bodies. Through radical self-love, we can dismantle the ladder of bodily hierarchy and disrupt the beliefs, systems, and illusions that perpetuate disconnection and othering. It is an act of resistance and a foundation for a future rooted in love.
