In a world where the media infiltrates every aspect of our lives, it becomes easy to be consumed by the negativity reported to us, it becomes almost imperative that you channel your mind to absorb the positivity around you and that is why meditation is so beneficial.

“The idea that what this country is going through shouldn’t have any effect on us—that we all should just feel OK all the time—that just doesn’t feel real to me.

I hope you’re listening to yourselves and taking a moment to reflect on everything that’s coming at us, and what you might be able to do about it.” Michelle Obama
