Help reduce your stress by taking time to slow down and be present with what is. Our Mindful Moment audio tracks and videos guide you through moments of self-reflection and mind body connection. We welcome your suggestions for future mindful practices.

Join the Student Mindfulness Challenge!

Whether you're new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, we invite you to participate in mindfulness practices that provide a peaceful pause in your day.

How to participate:

  • For each mindful practice you engage in, complete the contest form to enter for a chance to win headphones of your choice (worth up to $150). 
Contest closes December 10, 2024. View the contest form for the official contest rules.
