info_outlineLaura had just moved out of her parent’s house, and was feeling anxious and depressed. On day, she heard her roommate chanting. When she looked in, her roommate asked Laura to come in and join her.
Laura sat down and started chanting out loud with her roommate. She immediately felt a rush of energy in her body. She felt hopeful again and believed that she could overcome any difficulty she was facing.
