Q: These days, there are a lot of opinions being shared on social media. People also post a lot of information from a wide variety of sources. It’s not your job to patrol the entire internet, but you can do your part to stop negativity on your social media accounts. For example, maybe a friend posts an anti-Muslim joke on your wall. You should delete the post, and send your friend a message saying that those types of comments are not funny or welcome. It is important to let people know your beliefs or they may keep saying or doing things that are offensive to you. You might be wondering about what it means to be oppressed. Take some time to learn about groups that are typically oppressed. These include non-Christians, people of color, members of the LGBT community, and sometimes women. Learning more about these groups can help you better understand what is offensive.  Read reputable sources. This way you can be informed when it comes to what your friends post. Being informed will help you recognize obviously biased or intolerant information. You get to decide who can comment or post on your accounts. Whether it is Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or Twitter, you have the right to decide who you interact with. You should block people who repeatedly post offensive things. You can also report them to the site administrator. If blocking doesn’t work, for example, report the user to Facebook. It’s important to look for negative posts by others. It is equally important to be aware of what you write yourself. Before you hit “Post” or “Send,” take a minute to read over your words. What seems funny to you might be offensive to someone else. If what you have written is controversial, then it might be best not to post it at all.  Make sure that you haven’t inadvertently been judgmental towards an individual or group of people. Don’t post information unless you know that it is accurate. Social media can be a great way to show your support for your friends. Try making supportive comments. For example, if your friend posts that they went to the Women’s March, you could write something like, “Good for you! I’d love to hear about your experience.” You can also make positive posts of your own. For example, share a link for an article about how to be an ally.
A: Speak up when you see something offensive. Learn about oppression. Block repeat offenders. Think before you type. Empower others.

Article: One of the first things you’ll need to do if you decide to start your own activist group is to recruit like-minded members.  Try personally inviting friends, family, and community members. Send out blast emails to other groups you belong to. Post informational flyers in local coffee shops or bookstores. Set up a website to explain and promote your new group. Having meetings at a consistent time and place is vital to your group’s success.  Meet once a week or once a month, as you and your members see fit. Keep a directory of member’s first names and email addresses so you can all stay in touch. Offer to host your group meetings at your home, or see if a local hall can donate a meeting room. Introduce new members at the beginning of each meeting and give them an overview of your group’s mission statement and main goals concerning child labor. Develop a clear agenda for each meeting including current events and news stories concerning child labor issues. Encourage everyone to speak up and share their ideas. Invite members to bring snacks to share -- this helps generate camaraderie, conversation, and idea-sharing. This is a great way for your group to make a difference and raise more awareness about child labor injustices. There are countless types of events you can host -- from fundraisers and book drives, to film screenings and public lectures. Whichever event you choose, your efforts will make an impact and bring awareness to your group and anti-child labor cause.

Q: When you're just starting a meditation practice, it's best to go somewhere with minimal distractions. Being out in nature can be tranquil, or you might find a secluded part of your home.  Try to find the best time of day. Early morning typically is a good time to meditate, and you can carry the peace with you throughout the day. It's also usually quiet at that time. When you first start, you may find it helpful to have some soft music playing in the background, or listening through earphones. You also can search online for guided meditation tracks that are designed to help you focus when you're new to the practice. Raja yoga meditation is done from a seated position. A simple cross-legged position is fine, or you can even sit in a chair if you need that support. Just make sure you're comfortable and that you feel stable.  When in cross-legged position, press your hip bones down and reach up through the crown of your head. Your shoulders should drop down your back with your chest opened. Make sure your spine is neutral. Don't arch your back or lean back or forward. It may help to place a folded blanket or rolled towel behind or under you to help with your posture and make you more comfortable. Raja yoga traditionally is done with your eyes open. When you're just starting, however, you may need to close your eyes so that you can center your mind.  Try to keep your eyes open at first, then close them if you're having difficulty or get distracted too easily. You will get better at it the more you practice. It can help to light a candle and focus your eyes on the flame. Turn your attention to your breathing, or to your other point of focus, such as a candle in front of you. Allow your thoughts to pass without judgement.  Particularly when you're just starting, your mind will probably try to throw all kinds of things at you. As you relax, things may come to mind that you'd forgotten throughout the day. Simply acknowledge those thoughts and return to your breath or point of focus. Observe without judging or criticizing yourself or your mind. Don't fault or blame yourself if it takes you awhile to get settled. Once you get settled, if another thought comes, have patience. Acknowledge the thought and allow the thought to pass, and then return to your breath or point of focus. As your thoughts start to flow, set an intention for your practice. Let that thought be your awareness as you sit in meditation. It could be related to some struggle you're currently having, or just a general affirmation.  For example, your thought might be "I am a peaceful soul." Try to empty your mind to the point that this is the only thought that exists. Your thought may be more directed to your personal circumstances. For example, if you are currently undergoing some uncertainty, such as turmoil at work, you might make your thought something like "my well-being is not attached to any outcome." As you fall deeper into a meditative state, your thought will bloom into a feeling that radiates through your entire being. Your understanding and feelings will combine to produce a profound sense of realization. For example, if your original thought was "I am a peaceful soul," you can nurture that thought by repeating things such as "I am a peaceful soul...I am a peaceful being...Peace is my original nature." When your meditation is over, try to hold on to the inner peace you found during meditation as you go through your day. If you feel the peace slipping away, take a few moments if you can for a brief meditation to re-center yourself.  Over time and with practice, you will awaken into a more profound state of well-being. You will be able to focus and concentrate better because you are centering and grounding yourself through your practice. If you feel stressed or overwhelmed during the day, try to find a place where you can retreat, even if only for a minute. Take several deep breaths and focus on your breathing until you find your inner calm.
A:
Find a quiet place. Sit comfortably. Bring your attention into the present. Withdraw your attention from sounds and everything that is around you. Create a peaceful thought. Continue to create and experience being peaceful. Carry that peace with you.
