Meditation

by taratorn.sakdapitakkamol Posted on November 22, 2011

A. First, take note of the moods you’ve experienced.
I felt happy and excited because my best friend and I went to eat dinner together. Before dinner I felt so hungry because I haven’t eat anything until 6PM. After dinner I was so full. Then I have to wait to meet up with my friend for almost 3 hours that’s made me feel bored and sleepy.

B. Assess your overall level of anxiety on a scale of 1 to 10.
The overall level of anxiety is 5.

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.
The overall tension is also around 5.
My shoulder hurts a little but didn’t bother me much.

 

III. After you have finished your meditation, re-asses your state of mind and body.
A. Reassess your mood on the chart.
I felt really relaxed, calm, peaceful, sleepy, and numb.

B. Reassess your level of anxiety from 1 to 10.
My anxiety level is 3

C. Reasses your level of physical tension and rate it from 1 to 10.
The tension level is about 2-3.

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 to do the Intro Guided Meditation by Ajahn Sundara which is approximately 19 minutes long. As the instructor in this meditation said, we have to sit at a certain posture which distracted me because my leg got numb then I have to change the sitting posture. When the instructor told to feel the body, I was trying to relaxed my shoulder and I felt more relaxed. I felt like most systems in my body started to slow down and shut down. I noticed the breath in and out that’s made my mind to focused to my tummy. Toward the end of the meditation, I felt like my mind is floating in the air. I stop thinking about everything and only focused on breathing. When it finished, my eyes open, I felt so peaceful and calm.
Definitely, I’ll try it again in the future. During the meditation, I tried to focus on only the breathing that’s made me forget about other things that running in my head.

Sa-wad-dee!!

by taratorn.sakdapitakkamol Posted on September 23, 2011

(Sa-wad-dee means hello in Thai language)

 

Hi everyone!!

My name is Taratorn Sakdapitakkamol but you can call me Tara (much easier). I was born and raised in Thailand, Southeast Asia until I was 14. I came to the states in 2003 and have been living in NY since then.

I went to International H.S. @ LaGuardia Community college (LAGCC) started from 9th grade. At that time, I had very poor English. I did not understand many things that teachers taught in the class. My 2nd year was more successful than my first year. I took a higher level math class in the Senior Institute.

I started to take college classes at LAGCC since the summer before 11th grade. I was in the Excel Program that gives the opportunity to some students to stay for the five years and graduate with an associate degree.

Now I’m here at Baruch. I’m currently a senior student majoring in accounting. This semester I’m taking 3 classes: PSY1001, ACC4100, and MSC1003. To be honest, I’m taking Psych class to fill up my elective credits. However, I choose to take this class because it sounds very interesting and actually it does!!

As you can see, I’m a part-time student because I’m also working as a waitress at a Thai restaurant in Woodside.

Well, I can’t think of anything else now.
Good night everyone!!

"1. Facebook is a very good idea to begin with or another place to go to is Google. You have a choice to keep or discard the old memories because all old memories are new. Now you can decided if you want to remember it or discard it but you're right. Are those memories really happen to you? Who should I trust? Who is lying? Up to this point, if I were you, I'm just going to start today as my first day of life. 2&3 Of course, I would feel bad if you lost your memory and forget all the memorable moment. But it is ok. You are my old friend. Now we are becoming friend. I'm just going to show you who I am again. I'll try to do everything i can for you to recover your memories. I'll take you to the place that we like to go, watch movie that we watched together, etc. 4. Encoding: showing picture, places, etc. I think this is the best way to recall your memories. Try to show pictures and take you to the places that in the picture."

"Woww.. this would be an interesting experiment. I really would like to know the outcome. However, our personal taste is different in different people. For me, if I have to choose pepsi or coke, definitely i'll go for coke. After i did some brief research about both nutrition facts, i found out that coke has higher amount of sugar and sodium but pepsi has more caffeine. Therefore, the outcome might prove your hypothesis to be true that student who drink coke study better than student who drink pepsi due to the higher amount of sugar in coke. The issue for this experiment is that people like things differently. The outcome for this experiment might not be the same."
