Certification in Meditation

Certification as a Meditation Specialist is obtained through the National Meditation Specialist  Certification Board (NMSCB) which is a separate entity from the Center for Meditation Science (CMS).  NMSCB is the only national credentialing corporation for Meditation Specialists.  NMSCB works with the CMS as both organizations support and facilitate the understanding and growth of meditation as a therapy.

 DEFINITION OF CERTIFICATION

        Certification is the process that a non-governmental authority uses to grant recognition to an individual who has met specified qualifications and competencies in a defined area of practice.  Based on predetermined standards of professional practice, a meditation specialist validates her/his qualifications and specialized clinical knowledge for practice by seeking the credential conferred by such an authority.

        Certification is a voluntary process and should not be confused with a legal professional license. The National Meditation Specialist Certification Board (NMSCB) is responsible for the Certification Processes of Meditation Specialists.
