The Power of Meditation in a Distracted World: Perspectives from Kripalu's CEO

Kripalu has always been about living yoga on and off the mat. In today’s world, where we are overstimulated, pushed to produce and consume more, and stay updated with every piece of news, we need to return to ancient practices like meditation. 

Meditation is a practice, just like any other—the more we engage with it—the more familiar it will be, and the more we will notice the value it brings into our lives. Meditation may help us quiet our minds for a few moments, but much more than that, it is a way to attune to our own inner Presence, undivided from life’s. When we attune to Presence, in the stillness of meditation, we can tap into a vast resource of wisdom, love, and power. 

This is what the world needs— people who are intimate with wisdom, love, and power. Let’s come together in community to practice, to live, and lead with more wisdom, love, and power. 

Join Robert Mulhall each month for a free 30-minute online meditation that honors one of the pillars of Swami Kripalu’s lineage: sangha, or community. Step aside from your day-to-day tasks to come together and practice in community. At a time when distractions and divisiveness are rampant, let us be reminded of the power of coming together.
