We’re on a mission to help people embody their highest potential. We blend ancient wisdom and modern science to teach you simple, proven formulas to help you meditate and manifest your dreams.

ABOUT ZIVA
We believe in having fun and playing big—doing the work we were put on this planet to do. Mastering meditation, but really… mastering life.
We believe that meditation is not enough, and we’re all in on The Ziva Technique: mindfulness, meditation and manifesting.
We believe that practicing these 3 M’s makes us better partners, colleagues, friends and citizens. Our 50,000+ students agree.
We believe that if everyone meditated before they leave their house, the world would be a happier, healthier and more enjoyable place to live.
We believe in giving back. We’ve donated $1 million in training to healthcare workers on the front lines, $15K to The Loveland Foundation and we give 10% of our proceeds each year to environmental organizations we love.
We believe it’s time to get the whole dang world meditating. Join us.

THE ZIVA TECHNIQUE
After years of training in India and the US, and then teaching thousands of people how to meditate, Emily realized that meditation alone was not enough. In 2017, Emily developed The Ziva Technique — a powerful trifecta of the 3 Ms.
Mindfulness gets rid of your stress in the now. Meditation gets rid of your stress from the past — you know, the trauma that lodges itself in your cells and nervous system. And manifesting to help your dreams for the future.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The combination yields profound results, including less stress, deeper sleep, improved immune function, increased productivity and all-around extraordinary performance. It’ll feel like magic… but in fact it’s science.
When you remove stress at a cellular level, and give it the deep rest it needs, your body is able to heal itself. What’s revealed is the very best version of you.

ZIVA MAGIC
