Midweek Meditations

Meditations are currently on summer break
Midweek Meditations are an opportunity for relaxation and renewal for staff, patients, and families. It is our hope to offer them in the L12 Meditation Room and by Zoom Wednesdays from 12:10–12:50 p.m this fall. To listen to the podcasts, see the meditation offerings below.

Breath Meditation

This restorative practice utilizes breath techniques in meditation that help release physical and mental tension and improve well-being. Participants will also learn a heart opening meditation for freeing sadness and fear and experiencing more calm, connection, and loving kindness. 

Discover Meditation

This is a meditation series utilizing meditations from renown teachers across the country. Each session will introduce a meditation and technique.

Living Peace Meditation

This is a meditation aimed at inner peace, no matter what challenges are presenting themselves in participants’ lives. The guided imagery meditation offers a respite of peace and a chance for self-care. Participants will also discover how to be a more peaceful presence to those around. Meditation is led by Karen Fox. 

Mindfulness Meditation

This is a practice of paying attention to what is here in this moment with open-hearted acceptance. With this technique, you will discover how to respond skillfully to stress, care for yourself and those around you, and improve your general well-being and happiness. Led by UI Hospitals & Clinics Mindfulness Program staff. 

Sound Healing Meditation

Enjoy this guided meditation and sound bath with singing bowls. The bowls’ vibrational frequencies will bring relaxation and restoration to mind and body.
