About this episode

In celebration of World Kindness Day, Rohan shares a simple and enriching meditation centered on the idea of performing small acts of kindness. These little actions can feel inconsequential in the moment, but they often have a ripple effect that expands outward and impacts more than we know. Whether it’s directed at a friend, a stranger, or ourselves, kindness holds a special and unique power.
