Meditation: Medicine of the Mind
VIEW EVENT DETAILSPlease note that this program has already taken place. To watch a recording of the program, please visit our blog.
Meditation is a mind-body practice that can help you relax, manage your stress, and access a deeper awareness — all of which have broad implications for your health. In honor of World Cancer Day, join Alejandro Chaoul, PhD, as he returns to Asia Society to share some simple, take-home meditation techniques to help you turn meditation into a daily practice. For the practice, guests are welcome to bring a ground cushion if that is more comfortable than a provided chair.
Each guest will also receive a pre-recorded guided meditation by Dr. Chaoul to use at their convenience.
