Indrani Goradia has just returned from India after continuing her global mission to end violence against women and girls. She visited a different city on this trip, and brought back some lessons from her experience there. Indrani was able to teach our Live A Brighter Life classes to groups of women and men, who did a phenomenal job in participating and learning about boundaries, saying “No,” guilt and shame, and most importantly, self-care.
This trip to India was special. Indrani wants to share her experience, and some of the feedback she received from the men, in particular. The lessons Indrani learned from India brought her back home with an urgency to “Break the Silence.”
As we recognize Domestic Violence Awareness month here in the United States, we need to make real change, and stop domestic violence globally. We MUST talk openly about the issue, not just on Facebook, or YouTube, or when standing in front of big audiences.
We need to break the silence and talk with each other, openly and honestly. Daily.

Love and light,
Team ILF
One of the workshops we teach at Indrani’s Light Foundation is called “Finding Resilience.” We talk about the importance of shame resilience, understanding the attributes of empathy, identifying your shame story, naming your trusted network of people, and lastly, we explore your strengths that help you through your everyday life.
Today’s 3-minute meditation is about giving you permission to experience 5 percent more joy today. Indrani has provided a “Drive Thru” meditation for those of you who need to check in with yourselves during a busy day. There are times when we are unable to sit still for awhile to take care of ourselves. Hopefully this short meditation will give you the time you need to tap into a little more joy.
I lost something the other day (not my mind … I am coming to that).
Indrani would love to share some of her meditations with you, so keep an eye on the ILF blog for our ongoing meditation series, which begins with today’s meditation. Her desire is to assist the members of the Indrani’s Light Foundation family a way to begin a meditation practice, if you do not have one at this time. If you have a meditation practice, these weekly meditations will help you to work on living a brighter life.
