Meditation in recent media coverage shows how mindfulness is closer to the mainstream. I introduced examples of this in previous posts: the major studio film like the Thai Cave Rescue movie that showed a scene where the coach and the kids were meditating and the PBS news coverage of a U.S. astronaut and his meditation practice at the International Space Station. Expect different perspectives to start popping up as well. For example, the meme above with Jane Foster in Thor: Love and Thunder captures a sentiment we've heard in real life.
