Getty Images.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It may look like a bunch of meditation sessions built into a health care app, and it is. But UCHealth&#8217;s high-profile placement of guided meditation in its flagship mobile app is much more. It\u2019s a clear statement of how important a major health care institution considers the mind-body connection to be in its patients\u2019 overall health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>The initial fruits of UCHealth\u2019s collaboration with <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/choosemuse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muse<\/a> went live back in 2023. Livi, the app\u2019s virtual assistant, is the vehicle. (The mediation feature is also available through a web browser in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/access-my-health-connection\/\">My Health Connection<\/a> \u2013 just click on Livi in the lower right-hand corner and type in \u201cLet\u2019s meditate\u201d where it says \u201cType a message\u2026\u201d).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Livi offers up Meditations by Muse and presents categories for meditative exploration:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Stress<\/li>\n<li>Self-care<\/li>\n<li>Active life<\/li>\n<li>Healthy aging<\/li>\n<li>Sleep<\/li>\n<li>Kids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each audio meditation is between five and 15 minutes in length. The categories were not chosen randomly but rather are based on the ages and types of patients who tend to engage on the UCHealth app and website, said Nicole Caputo, UCHealth\u2019s vice president of Experience and Innovation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started with categories that would benefit the most people,&#8221; Caputo said. &#8220;Topics like sleep, healthy aging and stress are areas where many of us could use support in living healthier lives. Since launching the meditations, we\u2019ve added more based on user feedback and need, including options for kids like \u2018Drawing with your imagination.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Benefits abound with free meditation app<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The bigger question, perhaps, is why UCHealth would invest in establishing a partnership to offer meditation. The app designers anticipated this question and have Livi address it through a tappable link that asks, \u201cWhy should I meditate?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudies show that meditation can improve sleep, stress and overall wellness. There\u2019s a reason this practice has been around for thousands of years \u2013 it can really help you manage day-to-day life!\u201d Livi explains in a text response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen life is a little bit out of control, how do we reset ourselves? Meditation is a great way to do that,\u201d Caputo said. &#8220;We want our app to be a daily, essential tool for overall health and wellbeing, with free, practical features like meditations to help our community with a holistic approach to health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A staggering volume of academic research backs up Livi and Caputo. <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/meditationstudioapp.com\/founders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Patricia Karpas<\/a>, head of content for Muse and cofounder of the <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/meditationstudioapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meditation Studio<\/a> (a highly regarded meditation app among the numerous others), estimates that there have been more than 10,000 studies on the impact of meditation on health.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In all different areas, from stress and anxiety to depression, chronic illness, and pain \u2013 there\u2019s been research into almost any area that you can imagine,\u201d Karpas said. \u201cMeditation has been proven to help calm the nervous system to help us feel more grounded, more at peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_85306\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85306\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-85306\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/09\/02105053\/UCHealthApp_healthyHabits-muse-updatedSept2025-1.webp\" alt=\"There are all kinds of resources under &quot;Wellness&quot; in the UCHealth app. Livi, UCHealth's virtual assistant, can help you quickly get to guided meditations. \" width=\"350\" height=\"759\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-85306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are all kinds of resources under &#8220;Wellness&#8221; in the UCHealth app. Livi, UCHealth&#8217;s virtual assistant, can help you quickly get to guided meditations.

Common among the sessions is establishing a comfortable position \u2013 no need to sit in a cross-legged position on a mountaintop, Karpas said. Sometimes simply finding a comfortable posture, taking a pause and focusing on your breathing can be a great way to take care of yourself in the midst of a stressful day. The content itself is diverse. From the \u201cPain as a visitor\u201d meditation:<\/p>\n<p><em>Although pain is uncomfortable and difficult to experience, try for the next few moments to regard your pain with ease. Imagine the pain is a visitor to your home, like a wind. Open the front door and the back door of your house. Allow the visitor to come through, and just don&#8217;t invite it in for tea. Allow the pain to just flow through, allow the way you&#8217;re feeling right now, physically and emotionally. Allow your body and mind to just be ever-changing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pregnant pauses space out the sentences. Same as with \u201cLet things be,\u201d which instructs:<\/p>\n<p><em>Take a moment to notice how your body feels right now. If you&#8217;re feeling anxious or stressed, simply observe. How does that anxiety register in your body? You feel the shoulders tight, belly gripping, the jaw tight. Maybe notice tension around the eyes. Start by unwinding the body. Let the shoulders relax down the back of the spine. Lengthen at the belly. Be soft at the jaw. Relax, and the eyes soften. And take three long, slow, deep breaths to begin.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Karpas said she sees meditation and stress-relief-focused practices playing an increasingly important role in traditional health care settings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thrilled that UCHealth has taken this important step,\u201d Karpas said. \u201cMeditation, along with attention to the entire mind-connection, is an important piece of any wellness program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That certainly applies to the UCHealth app, where appointments, test results, medications, messaging, health care news, and so much more reside. But, meditation and additions such as augmented reality, goals and challenges, recipes and health tips are also important parts of an ongoing story with a simple theme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trying to build it as a one-stop daily app to help you get healthier,\u201d Caputo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It may look like a bunch of meditation sessions built into a health care app, and it is.
