Online Program: Reducing Stress Through Meditation

with Dr. Manish Saggar

The scientific community has recently been exploring the use of meditation as a healing modality. Join Dr. Manish Saggar, long time meditator, as he discusses the extraordinary effect of meditation. Meditation can reduce stress-related responses, improve concentration, enhance clarity of thought and mental equilibrium. Dr. Saggar will also present a simple, yet powerful, meditation technique that will be explained and practiced during the session. 

This program will take place online on Zoom. After registering, you will receive a link to the Zoom webinar at least one hour in advance of the program.

Dr. Manish Saggar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the Stanford University School of Medicine. His research focuses on the intersections of cognitive science, neuroimaging and computational modeling. He is also a member of Stanford’s School of Design teaching team, actively involved in design thinking principles and their relation to mental health. Dr. Saggar loves to meditate - and even more, to talk about it. In line with his passion for meditation, and as part of his computer science doctoral work at the University of Texas at Austin, he developed a computational model of brain processes underlying meditation training. A meditator for 20 years, Dr. Saggar has presented his research and experiences to both public and professional audiences around the country.
