MEDITATE
NEW YORK?
A PUBLIC HEALTH INITATIVE
TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND
RESILIENCE OF THE ENTIRE CITY
PANDEMIC OF TOXIC STRESS
Covid-19 and the unrelenting pressures and upheavals of the day have created a pandemic of trauma and toxic stress that fuels anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease, substance use disorder, suicide ideation, violence, and more. Unfortunately, there are no conventional antidotes to this crisis that are practical, scalable for a large population, and cost-effective.
40 YEARS OF PUBLISHED RESEARCH
Fortunately, extensive published scientific research over more than 40 years has demonstrated the power and impact of evidence-based meditation techniques to help address many of these stress- related disorders for the individual and society.
PRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP
Meditate New York will create a public-private partnership with nonprofit organizations skilled in teaching different scientifically-proven meditation techniques to New Yorkers in need. Together, they will help to transform the city—healing trauma, building resilience, and promoting physical and mental well-being during these challenging times.
BRINGING MEDITATION TO EVERYONE
To help document these benefits, the David Lynch Foundation will launch the largest public health demonstration project conducted on the benefits of meditation for society. Ten thousand frontline New Yorkers will be able to learn Transcendental Meditation, including healthcare providers, first responders, teachers and students, and other New Yorkers in need. Research outcomes from this demonstration project will be used to secure insurance coverage for effective meditation techniques so that all New Yorkers and, ultimately, all Americans can learn to meditate and enjoy its benefits, at no cost.
