Open Meditation at Swem

Take a moment to recharge your mind and body. In support of the Patron Incentive Program, join us at the Prayer & Meditation Room, a resource available in Swem Library.


New to meditation? The Counseling Center suggests trying the Calm or Meditainment apps to get started with guided meditation.




We suggest trying this technique from Giam.com


Sit or lie comfortably.


Close your eyes.


Make no effort to control the breath; simply breathe naturally.


Focus your attention on the breath and on how the body moves with each inhalation and exhalation. Notice the movement of your body as you breathe. Observe your chest, shoulders, rib cage, and belly. Simply focus your attention on your breath without controlling its pace or intensity. If your mind wanders, return your focus back to your breath.


Maintain this meditation practice for two to three minutes to start, and then try it for longer periods.


While prayer or meditation does not necessarily need to be silent, it should be quiet enough not to disturb anyone studying in adjacent areas or rooms of the library.




Join us just because or satisfy your spiritual or mental/emotional dimension for your wellness passport!
