Mediation

A. How do you feel Today?

I feel overwhelmed, angry and a little bit happy throughout the day.

B. Assess your overall level of anxiety on a scale of 1 to 10.

My anxiety level would be a level 7, I was worry about finals coming up and how i have to do good on them and the studying it takes to do good on the tests and the level of stress that arises during those times and that everything build upon me and doesn’t go out, until it is all over.

C. Assess the level of physical tension in your body- where do you notice the tension? Try rating your overall tension on a scale of 1 to 10.

III. After you have finished your meditation, re-asses your state of mind and body.
A. Reassess your mood on the chart.

I feel happy, Shocked and surprised. I feel these ways because i didn’t know how you can take out all the rage that is built inside your body and daily stress, outside to the other side of the world.
B. Reassess your level of anxiety from 1 to 10.

My level of anxiety is a level 3, I feel relieved and that everything built on me is let go onto the university and that i should be doing this more daily.

C. Reasses your level of physical tension and rate it from 1 to 10.

Physical tension would be a 5, I feel much relieved as a weight has been lifted off my shoulder

IV. Describe the experience– What type of meditation did you choose? Describe what was going on in your mind and your body, what kind of thoughts and sensations did you experience during the meditation? Were there any challenging or frustrating aspects of the experience, and if so, what were they? Would you try this again in the future? Why or why not?

I choose the Guided body scan, the guy started out telling us to close our eyes and then put all our thoughts into our brain and bring it down into our mouth and ears in the lower parts of the body and remove all those out of you. I felt a bit of happiness, because of the pleasure it was bringing towards me and the good tension. I did not feel any challenging aspects of the experience, it went pretty smoothly. I would definitely, try this again to remove the tension that is building on me in the future, with any stress, I am having daily or weekly. I would try this again because it relieves all body tensions and makes you forgot about the stressful thoughts in your mind, that is affecting your body and how your body reacts to those stresses.
