Yesterday I was clever,
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
so I am changing myself.

Since spring of 2020, Saybrook University’s Mind-Body faculty have offered free, commercial-free guided meditations to support health and wellness. The live sessions are open to all anywhere on the planet and recordings are available as podcasts and also videos to enjoy over again. The content draws from many traditions and practices, and incorporates evidence-informed approaches that are scientifically and humanistically based.
“Mind-body practices provide much needed restoration and sources of health. These practices, such as guided meditation and imagery, have been demonstrated in multiple research studies to contribute to improved immunity, as well as better quality of life. Applying content from the curriculum and research, our Mind-Body Medicine faculty continue to lead brief daily meditations. Taking a few minutes from the stress of daily responsibilities through a structured mindfulness practice can support wellness and a stronger immune system and help restore balance.”
—Luann Fortune, Ph.D., Specialization Coordinator, College of Integrative Medicine and Health Sciences, Saybrook University

I gave this presentation some weeks back on #mindbodywellness with #experiential segments that can support our whole person health, especially during turbulent times. In this session, I described how mindfulness practices can contribute to whole-person wellness. Through experiential exercises included throughout the presentation, participants experienced different mindfulness techniques and learned how these can enhance individual self-care. #health #mindbodyspirit #mindbodymedicine #saybrook
Luann Fortune, PhD (MBM) has published a chapter (Fortune, 2021). In an edited book on Transformative Phenomenology (Bentz & Marlatt, 2021), the movement in phenomenology meant to transform and heal the world. In her publication, Dr. Fortune presented a model for incorporating embodiment perspectives and mind-body methods into qualitative research. Drawing from her own research and her years as an educator at Saybrook, she described using and teaching embodiment techniques to enrich questions, findings, and interpretations. Her examples include multiple Saybrook dissertations that she has guided over the past 10 years.
