I began meditation quite by accident. To lose weight, I started jogging a year ago, and discovered it to be meditation in motion. Meditation has made me calmer, and enabled me to think more clearly. And as a student enrolled under the SGUnited Skills Programme, I feel it’s my duty to give back to fellow Singaporeans. Hence I've created a YouTube meditation series, [https://tinyurl.com/MeditatePhaseTwo] and it would be an absolute pleasure and an honour if you would join me on this  journey of reflection. See you on May 25, Singapore time 8:30pm, for the first live session! This episode is also available as a blog post: https://hearmee0ut.wordpress.com/2021/05/24/youtube-meditation-series/
