    Light Watkins has been a meditation and spiritual teacher for more than 20 years. His philosophy on "spiritual minimism" can help guide you to quiet your mind, reduce anxiety, and create space between triggers and your emotional reaction, for a more balanced and serene lifestyle. Light explains how anxiety and depression are manifestations your mind living outside of the present moment, and how we distract ourselves with scrolling or other coping mechanisms, and waste away precious time.
