Meditative disciplines, developed for millenia in wisdom traditions around the globe, may enrich a mediator's practice, bringing increased awareness and peace to practitioners and disputing parties alike. This article describes meditation generally, draws theoretical connections between meditation and mediation, and concludes by offering practical suggestions for integrating the two endeavors to increase a mediator's impartiality, humility, and compassion.
