Not being able to sit still and quiet the mind is one of the biggest complaints I hear from people new to meditation. Sitting down and closing one’s eyes quickly turns into an open invitation for incessant internal chatter, for reviewing the day, or mentally completing old conversations.

There has been a worldwide campaign to demonstrate how we are all in ‘this’ together, how we are all global citizens.
