Rancho Peñasquitos Library Offers Guided Meditation Session for Adults

The Rancho Peñasquitos branch of the San Diego Public Library brought a guided meditation session to its adult community on March 24, led by local instructors Hema Singh and Sheetal Gupta. The two guided participants through a combined sequence of breathwork, visualization, and short mindfulness exercises, with the stated aim of promoting relaxation and well-being.

Both Singh and Gupta are longtime San Diego-area residents with years of experience in meditation practice, including work tied to The Art of Living's Millions Meditate campaign, a global initiative that has introduced structured breathwork and meditation to large numbers of first-time practitioners. That background shaped the session's accessible, technique-layered approach, offering something for adults who had never sat formally as well as those already comfortable in a practice.

The program was open exclusively to adults 18 and older, with the library explicitly asking that children not be brought to the session. The branch is located at 13330 Salmon River Road in San Diego's 92129 zip code.

The meditation session fits into a broader wellness-oriented programming push at the Rancho Peñasquitos branch. Coming up at the same location, Gentle Yoga for Adults, part of the Living Well for Adults series presented by Healthy Adventures, is scheduled for Thursday, April 2, from 10:30 to 11:00 a.m. No registration is required for that session; bring a mat and towel.

Updates on future library events, including any additional meditation programming, are posted to the branch's Facebook page at @RanchoPenasquitosLibrary. Additional information on meditation programming through the San Diego Public Library system is available via the library's official website.
