Meditation and mindfulness can relieve stress, improve focus and more. We offer programs to help you cultivate this practice in your daily life.
Learning to be Mindful
Meditation is the practice of intentionally focusing on something (frequently a word or phrase, sounds, or your own breath) to increase awareness of the present moment. Mindfulness strategies allow students to access present moment experiences to assist them to better cope with stress, improve sleep and manage their emotions during tumultuous times. Health Promotion offers a variety of programs to help you incorporate mindfulness in your daily life. No experience or equipment necessary, everyone is welcome.
Mindfulness and Meditation Four-Session Program
Health Promotion is sponsoring and facilitating free 4-week mindfulness and meditation classes. Mindfulness strategies allow students to access present-moment experiences to assist them in better coping with stress and managing their emotions during tumultuous times.
To participate in the Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults program, you would need to attend all four classes. Registration is required; please use the link below. We will close the class at 20 students, so register now!
The program utilizes the easy-to-read book The Mindful Twenty-Something by Holly Rogers, which provides examples of how college students can practice meditation to support their university experiences. The book can be borrowed from the Health Promotion office - please e-mail Jackie Piciulo at jaclynsi@buffalo.edu if you'd like to borrow it and to coordinate a time for pick-up.
