About Meditation Month

National Meditation Month each May is sponsored by Touching Earth, a Chicago based yoga and meditation oasis. The purpose of this month is to raise awareness of the importance of meditation for mental and physical health, as well as the benefits it brings.

Improving mental clarity and memory

Greater Focus

Minimizing the perception of chronic pain
