"Emily's meditation = Life Changing!"

Emily's meditation = Life Changing! I just acted in a film, and the director asked me to improvise with my (super famous) scene partner. Before meditation, I would have been anxious and panicked, but thanks to my meditation practice, it was calm, easy and fun.
