Meditation is a powerful tool that improves both physical and mental health. It reduces stress and anxiety, calms the mind, improves focus, brain power and more.
Be patient with yourself. There is no “right” way to meditate. Simply focus on being present in the moment and cultivating calm awareness.
Find a comfortable and quiet space, ideally one free of distractions, where you can sit comfortably for a few minutes.
Office of the Provost Diversity and Inclusion website has a list of campus meditation spaces and prayer rooms.
Focus on your breath. Notice the sensations of air moving in and out of your body. Let thoughts pass by like leaves floating down a stream. Notice them, and let them drift away.
