The Anti-Black Friday

Thanksgiving and Black Friday - so close together, yet so diametrically opposed.

Today, people across the country are diving into the wild waves of holiday shopping. But what if instead of hitting the mall at midnight, we took this day off to reflect on the intangible gifts of yesterday's feast while the experience is still fresh. What did you give? What did you receive? How did being with family and friends, taking time to relax, and sitting down for a proper meal feed you in a way that store-bought gifts simply can't?

If you're looking for a moment of calm today amidst the hustle and bustle, we urge you to experience one of Agapi Stassinopoulos' incredible guided meditations. In a series called "Wake Up to the Joy of You," Stassinopoulos guides you through fifty-two weeks of letting go of what doesn't work for you and finding what does. Through consistent meditations, you'll cultivate the building blocks of self-care, such as meditation, health, and taking time for yourself.

Today, let's start with an essential: Art of Meditation.
