- Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation

Catalog description

In this course, students will be introduced to the core practices of mindfulness meditation for stress reduction. Each week, new meditation practices will be taught and discussed during class time. Students are expected to practice outside of class time regularly and to log and reflect on their meditation practices. The type of secular mindfulness meditation practices taught in this class have been selected because they have been established as effective methods for reducing stress and improving a range of physical and mental health outcomes. The goal of the course is for students to develop the ability to independently practice mindfulness meditation for the purpose of stress reduction and personal health promotion.
