UMass Meditates

Welcome to UMass Meditates.

Choosing to spend even a few minutes to slow down and contemplate may benefit your health in many ways. Perhaps this is between classes, during lunchtime, or whenever a free moment opens up.

 

The following resources are available to you as you explore meditation and the many benefits it has to offer…
