While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness is essential to living a happy, productive life.

What you will learn? 

The Guided Meditation practice involves three simple steps:

• Relaxation
• Rejuvenation
• Meditation

Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a Rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself  by listening to your heart’s voice. This is the art of Heartfulness Meditation. 

A certified trainer joins the team via Zoom meeting every Friday from noon to 12:30 p.m. (except during university holidays) and guides the group through each meditation session. All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to join at no cost. No prior experience with meditation is required. You can continue this practice at home and the trainer will continue to help you with any questions you have.
