Hi everyone,
We will be observing World Meditation Day (5/21) at work on Friday, 5/19 and Monday, 5/22! in the workplace! World Meditation Day is a day to promote the benefits of meditation for physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is also a great opportunity for us to come together as a team and promote employee wellness, productivity, and job satisfaction.
We encourage you to take some time throughout the day to focus on your breath or other mindfulness techniques. This can help reduce stress and improve focus and productivity.
Here are a few tips to get started:
- Take a few deep breaths before starting a task to help calm your mind and improve focus.
- Schedule a few minutes each day for a mindfulness break where you can step away from your work and focus on mindfulness techniques to relax and refresh.
- Consider attending a guided meditation session or yoga class. There are many great options available for free on YouTube or through mobile apps such as Calm, Headspace, and Aura Health.
We hope that you will join us in observing World Meditation Day in the workplace. If you have any questions, concerns or ideas for creating a more relaxed and mindful work environment, please do not hesitate to reach out to your manager or HR representative.
Thank you,

How to celebrate World Meditation Day at work
World Meditation Day is celebrated on May 21st every year to promote the benefits of meditation for physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Observing World Meditation Day in the workplace can be a great way to promote employee wellness, productivity, and job satisfaction.
Here are some tips for managers who want to observe World Meditation Day in the workplace:
- Host a guided meditation session: Bring in a meditation expert to lead a guided meditation session for employees. This can be a great way to introduce meditation to those who are new to it and to provide a relaxing and rejuvenating experience for all employees.
- Encourage mindfulness breaks: Encourage employees to take short mindfulness breaks throughout the day, where they can step away from their work and focus on their breath or other mindfulness techniques. This can help reduce stress and improve focus and productivity even if only done for 5 minutes.
- Provide wellness benefits: Consider offering wellness benefits such as yoga or meditation apps as a way to promote employee wellness and job satisfaction.
- Create a meditation space: Set up a meditation space in the office where employees can go to meditate or take a break. This can be a great way to create a peaceful and relaxing environment in the workplace. You just need a dark, quite space where employees can sit comfortably with headphones or close their eyes in peace for a few minutes.
A small gesture like encouraging relaxation in the workplace can go a long way in making employees feel valued and appreciated.
