Prior to starting the meditation I have been exhausted, overwhelmed and anxious. The stress that mostly everyone might be feeling right now because of assignments being due just a couple of days before Thanksgiving weekend gets really tough. The amount of anxiety that I am feeling right now is about 7-8. I would not go higher because I have been threw worst situations but right now it is not that bad. The level of tension in my body prior to mediation is about 8 because of feeling really stressful which caused me to get a headache and fever-like symptoms.

After the mediation I have felt really relieved, there is no other treatment besides meditation. My mood now after meditation is that I am very pleased and happy. My anxiety has dropped to a 2 because I still have the feeling of tension due to the upcoming couple of weeks. The amount of physical tension I feel is about 1. The experience of meditation felt like I was stranded on an island and I can literally feel like there is no other thing in the world except myself to worry about. In my mind I was first thinking about school, family, and other personal matters but then it started to all fade away like something just drifting far way from you. The meditation that I used was the online one named “Ajahn Sundara: Intro Guided Meditation”. It was really helpful, I am really glad I took 20 minutes out of my time to go through this meditation which will hopefully do me some good throughout the next couple of weeks to come. I tried to take this meditation as a challenge in itself because going through this would be something that one needs to overcome and realized how mind relieving it is.
