A practice of mindfulness meditation focuses deliberate attention to breathe, feeling or experiencing the body without judgment, and removes the idea of attempting to change any of the thoughts or feelings (Atkinson, 2013).

When I settled down comfortably on my meditation seat I begin by becoming aware of the thoughts and distractions that are arising in my mind.

Meditation is the act of focusing one’s mind to become relaxed. Meditation can be approached in several different ways: mentally repeating a mantra, focusing on the present moment, or concentrating on one’s breathing. It has been studied to determine exactly how meditation can affect the body. It can be helpful because it can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate. It also can help to just relax the body and

Commonly, most people associate mediation with a super relaxed state, however meditation as discipline requires great practice skill. This intensity could cause a physiological response opposite to what most expect from meditation (Lumma, Kok, Singer). However, some studies showed that meditation combined with breathing techniques, similar to those we used during our guided meditation, decreased the heart rate, systolic, and diastolic pressure of patients with hypertension (Angermann et al). If a person participates in guided meditation, then they will temporarily experience lower heart rate and blood pressure because the subject consciously focuses on their body instead of anything they may be worried about. As a null hypothesis, the person

According to the American Institute of Stress (2017), 77 percent of Americans regularly experience physical symptoms of stress. These symptoms include: muscle tension, shortness of breath, panic attacks, increased heart rate, increased adrenaline, nausea, stomach pain, and perspiration (American Psychological Association, 2017).
