“Heartfulness meditation helps to relieve my stress. Being a high-schooler, stress is inevitable. But meditation gives me space, freeing me of tension. This practice helps to clear my mind and instills calmness. Investing time in meditation is worth it because it sets me the direction of having a productive rest of my day.”
