American Meditation Institute (AMI)

The American Meditation Institute is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational organization devoted to providing comprehensive training in meditation and Yoga Science as mind/body medicine. The American Meditation Institute believes that everyone has the innate capacity for Self-realization and for enhancing their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being through the mind/body practices of meditation and Yoga Science.

The mission of the American Meditation Institute is
to support the general public and healthcare professionals in the following ways:
• To empower students by awakening them to their individual potentials, freedom of choice, and a vision of their own true holistic nature
• To help students build confidence in their discriminative capacity through daily exercise of conscious attention to the thought process and contemplation of their personal experiences
• To help students embrace those values that have the power to protect, uphold and transform the individual and society
• To help students understand and implement these values through regular, systematic practice of meditation and Yoga Science in their daily lives
• To help students understand and appreciate that these same values are also found within their own spiritual traditions
• To build recognition of, and respect for, this teaching in the minds of the general public
• To encourage AMI administrators and teachers to grow and mature personally in order to serve as an example of this vision.
