Meditation Information

Welcome to Free Your Mind Guide!​

Free Your Mind Guide has one purpose: to promote meditation in the African American community.

Meditation Books

AFRICAN AMERICANS & MEDITATION


Many of us already know that meditation can help us to uplift our minds, our lives, our families, and our community. Yet, few African Americans visit or participate in meditation centers and communities, or even meditate alone. It can be difficult even to find images of African Americans in books, magazines, and online sites about meditation, or find writings on meditation that address the African American experience. This site seeks to change that.
