    A 12-Minute Meditation to Act on What’s Important with Shalini Bahl

    This week, Shalini Bahl offers a 12-minute meditation to make some space and time to reconnect with ourselves and ask the question, “What’s most important to me?” Research shows that we are most energized when we find purpose and meaning in what we’re doing.
