Freaking out? You may not be alone. We're all living in a moment of uncertainty and anxiety. One of the things we have done to help ourselves these past several weeks is to reach out to our friends in a continuing series of episodes we are calling Dispatches from our Bunkers.

This week Kara Klemm with Yoga Keowee joins us to help calm us down. As people become more anxious as they self-quarantine at home, we discuss mindful meditation, a practice that has been proven to alleviate stress, depression and insomnia, as a way to cope. People often feel discouraged when they first give meditation a try, but then again they have never tried to meditate to the sounds of an influent pump station. After our discussion, Kara leads us in three-minute meditation to the sounds of a working wastewater treatment plant. This may be a world's first.
