Practice Meditation with CSC: Resources and Opportunities
TIPS FOR BEGINNER MEDITATORS

These are general tips for practicing meditation. Additions or adjustments to these guidelines may apply to specific meditation practices and may be provided by individual contemplative instructors leading a particular practice. Learn more.

PRACTICE OF KINDNESS & CARE
Research shows that meditations focused on cultivating kindness, goodwill, and warmth toward oneself and others can increase one’s sense of well-being and social connection. CSC instructor Leslie Hubbard guides this practice, which includes breathing techniques, visualization, and heartfelt wishes of kindness and well-being towards oneself and others. Listen to the audio. 
 

INSIGHT TIMER
UVA students, faculty, and staff have free access to the premium (paid) Member Plus content on this award-winning smartphone app and web portal featuring a meditation timer and the world’s largest free repository of guided meditations and related tools. Learn more. 

DIVE IN TO RECORDING OF VIRTUAL MEDITATION ON THE LAWN
CSC and partners across Grounds have offered these brief virtual meditations on Monday morning. Each week a different instructor, practitioner, or UVA community leader guided these brief sessions. Open to the UVA community and anyone else who is interested in pausing, particularly at this very stressful and often lonely time, to cultivate mindfulness, compassion, resilience, and a sense of belonging with others so inclined. Find recordings here.
