“New Yorkers are strong and I believe we are strongest when we are working together, standing together and taking care of each other. Which is why in these seemingly uncertain times it is most difficult for us to stay apart from each other while we protect each other. And sometimes that will weigh heavy on us all.
“While I know we will be able to stand together soon – as soon as it is safe to – the reality is that right now we are all experiencing a very real anxiety. I’ve said it many times and I will say it now – meditation can help combat this.
“I begin and end my day, every day, with 20 minutes of meditation. It’s been a tremendous tool for me and I know that right now it is helping me stay grounded, measured and clear in my thinking. Today, I wanted to share this with you, so I have asked my friend, Jon Aaron, to walk us through a guided meditation.
“My hope is that New Yorkers – those who have practiced meditation and those who may feel like they don’t know how to meditate – will join us today. While we may be feeling isolated socially by our physical separation, we can still come together spiritually through meditation and unity.”
