It is a type of sexual activity, contact, or touching which the the victim does not consent to. Some victims think it's their fault because that's what the perpetrator tells them, but it's never their fault!
Consent is giving the other person permission to have sexual activity with them. For one to give consent he/she must say yes to the other person. If the word yes is not said then what happens after is consider sexual assault. At any time that person can say 'No, stop!' And if you do not stop then that is forcing someone and is then sexual assault.

A physical technique that can help improve your spiritual wellness by reducing emotional and physical strains on your mind and body.

Everyone thinks that meditation requires you to sit down and clear your mind for 30 minutes or longer. I will show you a 2-3 minute mediation that you can do every hour, every couple hours, or whenever you feel like you just need a break.
