Dear friends, Wanted to share an update from The Light Inside and my friend and colleague’s Joh Jarvis work with the prison systems in the US. So proud of this work she is doing. 

The video below from Australian network Channel Ten’s The Project sent a crew in February to cover the third day of the The Light Inside’s week-long meditation program in the North Dakota State Penitentiary.

Next week, NY1 will share a story covering the TLI’s work in NYC and North Dakota in the tri-state area.

Tapping into the Power of Meditation with Suzanne Tick

This year’s Interior Design‘s Giants and Rising Talent event in California brought together established and early career designers alike in a picturesque beach setting. The three-day event, kicked off with a warm welcome by Editor-in-Chief Cindy Allen Sunday, March 3rd, 2024. “It matters that we’re together; it really matters, more so than ever,” shared Allen. We couldn’t agree more.

Over the course of the event, Suzanne and Cindy hosted an interview where Suzanne shared the ways her meditation practice continues to shape her creative career. “I knew I needed a fix; I needed to change,” she shared, when Allen asked how she found meditation. At a dark moment in Tick’s life, she looked to the past to find a solution for her future. “I wanted something that was tried and true, that I could really understand how to do,” she added. Vedic Meditation was her answer.

In an Introduction to Vedic Meditation, Tick emphasized the value of examining the body at a glandular level. “The pituitary gland stores a lot of stress—when a computer is too clogged, it slows down,” she said. “When we’re stressed, we become very single-minded and very focused,” she continued, noting the importance of calming the body’s physiology.

Since beginning her meditation practice, which consists of a 20 minute morning meditation and a 20 minute evening meditation, Tick has continued her study in India and beyond and now shares her learnings and practice with others through her meditation studio Fifth Floor Meditation.
