A. First, take note of the moods you’ve experienced. |
This month is so busy. There are too much exams and assignments. I felt frustrated, anxious and tired.
B. Assess your overall level of anxiety on a scale of 1 to 10.
In order to prepare all the exams and essays well, my study schedule is so busy. So my level of anxiety would be at least 7.
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.
Because of the exams and the pressure, my level of physical tension will be 6.5.
III. After you have finished your meditation, re-asses your state of mind and body.
A. Reassess your mood on the chart.
I felt more relaxed and happier than before. And I can be more calm.
B. Reassess your level of anxiety from 1 to 10.
The level of anxiety is 3.
C. Reassess your level of physical tension and rate it from 1 to 10.
The level of physical tension is 3.5.
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 meditation by Gloria Taraniya Ambrosia. Initially, I’m curious that whether the meditation is useful. And I have seen a documentary film called “The Dhamma Brothers” before. It is about a prison meditation program and it showed that the meditation changed prisoner who joined the program a lot. I thought the meditation was so magical and I really want to try it. During the meditation, I began to focus on my breathe in and out. And I told myself relaxed. Firstly, I couldn’t easily pay attention on my breathe. But after a while, I could do that and could imagine the scene what Gloria Taraniya Ambrosia said. Then I felt all my muscles relaxed. I felt calm and easy. In addition, everything at that moment became much easier and my mood became better. In the future, if I have time, I will try it. It really can help me to be calm and easy when I feel frustrated and exhausted. I like the feeling after the meditation. It’s like a sunny day in your heart and feel energetic.

Hi everyone! My name is Tingting Sun. I was born in China. I’m a transfer student and it’s my first year in Baruch. I like watch movies , read books and play badminton. Psychology isn’t my intended major. But it’s my favourite class in this semester. The professors are so nice and they make the class so interesting!

"I'll agree with your decision to keep all positive and negative memories. It is true that without the negative memories, one cannot realize the happiness of the other memories. And It's so sad that if my best friend did't remember me. But I would understand him and try my best to help him recovering his memories. And that is the true friendship. But how to recovering his memories,as the author said,"Hoping to start from the places that I should familiar to. Looking at pictures and videos should help too since episodic memories includes events that happen ealier in my life."In that way , maybe it will help him recovery his memories. If I was his best friend that we shared all our experience in our life. I think I would play an essential role in helping them reconstruct their memory. Additionally, I'll take you to the place we often go and see the photos we took in the past. I would try to act the most important moment during your life. In that way , maybe you 'll remember something."

posted on Oct 4, 2011, on the post Hiiiii ~~"I'll agree with the author's hypothesis that students who ate breakfast will be able to remember better than the students that did not eat breakfast. I suggest that the students who eat breakfast can be divided into two groups. One group is satiate. The other is not. I think the drawbacks maybe the students had already know that they would do the test .So all the students would focus on the story. The result may be not accurate. I think we could use single-blind studies. The next step is using the result to let the public know that eating breakfast has or hasn't a good effect on memory. If it is a good effect , the public may pay more attention to suggest children and adults eating breakfast every day. Maybe it will be advertising selling for breakfast or food."
