Psychologists and physicians are finding that mediation can be extremely beneficial for our mental and physical health. Of course, exercise and eating right can be beneficial as well, but meditation has just recently gained momentum, although it has been with us a long time. Take a look at the e-Readings Chapter 5 on “Consciousness” Sec 3.3.

Watch one or both of these two short videos by experts in the field of Mindfulness (meditation) and try one of the two meditations below and tell us what you think. You can post another meditation for us if you wish instead.

1) Professor Jon Kabat Zin on the Science of Mindfulness:  (about 7 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU7vKitN4Ro

2) Professor Mark Williams,The Science of Mindfulness (3:35 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GVwnxkWmSM

If you have not meditated before, or even if you have, see what you think of this first video. Or try the second from your textbook. If you meditate, provide us with one you like.
