When Scripps was founded in 1926 in Claremont, California, it was one of few institutions dedicated to educating women for lives of commitment and engagement. Since then, Scripps has continued to champion qualities of both mind and spirit in accordance with the vision of its founder, newspaper entrepreneur and philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps. Scripps today offers a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum, a robust intellectual community, a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and a rich residential experience designed to shape the next generation of leaders.
Take a moment to find peace, rest, and heal. Seek stillness and kindness toward yourself. Imagine one of our most tranquil spaces, Margaret Fowler Garden, with trickling fountains and wisteria in bloom, while you practice mindfulness. For this 5-minute guided meditation, we will focus on our breath and releasing tension.
We all react differently to stress and challenges in our lives. Take time to practice mindfulness and kindness toward yourself and your community. Practice breathing techniques to calm the mind. This 5-minute meditation is focused on reducing anxiety and understanding our feelings.
Taking a moment to relax tension in your body and ease your stress is valuable. Being mindful of our bodies and spending time feeling our emotions is important. We all process stress and uncertainty differently. This 5-minute guided meditation focuses on relaxing your muscles and managing physical tension.
Take a moment to practice mindfulness, breathe, and recognize your emotions. Simple practices that focus on supporting your sense of well-being will gradually change your brain. This means that the things we pay attention to, what we think, and how we react all sculpt our brains. Be compassionate toward your mind and toward yourself. This 5-minute guided meditation is dedicated to practicing positive thoughts.
Taking time for yourself is an act of love and care. In these unprecedented times, it's important to practice mindfulness and kindness toward ourselves and others. As our Scripps Presents speaker Sonya Renee Taylor said, "Our unapologetic embrace of our bodies gives others permission to unapologetically embrace theirs."
We may be apart from each other, but we are all connected. It is likely that being cooped up at home will prompt feelings of loneliness and isolation. You are not alone. Luckily, we live in a world where we have a suite of communication technologies at our disposal that might make the experience of being stuck at home a bit less stifling. Remember, social distancing doesn't mean social isolation. Please continue to connect with those who bring you joy, support, and moments of peace. For this 5-minute guided meditation, we will focus on connection.
Take a moment to practice and develop resiliency. For this Mindful Monday, Tiernan Field House has a 5-minute meditation where you process your emotions and carry compassion for yourself and others. Remember that you are doing the best you can.
