The latest meditation in the Aga Khan Museum/YMCA Mindfulness and Education series is about calming down and focusing in.

Based on current science on the sleeplessness epidemic and other indications of information overload (in the general population), the discussion focuses on subjective experiences of excess arousal (wired) and insufficient restoration (tired). Mindfulness meditation provides a means of "resting the mind" while "letting go" of worry and rumination by bringing the mind back to each present moment.

The YMCA's Slobodan Stojanovic leads the session, which was hosted in the Aga Khan Museum on October 13, 2021 and recorded on Zoom. Go here to learn more about the Aga Khan Museum/YMCA Mindfulness and Education series: agakhanmuseum.org/programs/mindfulness-and-education-sessions
