20 MEDITATION FOR BEGINNERS Mary Jo Ricketson, Instructor Research in the last decade has proven that practicing meditation has numerous benefits. The inner silence is rest for the mind and the body and can be a respite from stress, tension, and anxiety. Meditation can comfort, nourish, guide, and sustain us. The benefits also include decreased blood pressure and resting heart rate, improved immune function, increased energy and sense of well-being, improved mental clarity, and improved performance and productivity. We will review the principles and practices of meditation and introduce four major forms. You will get a chance to practice meditation each week, with time allowed at the end of class for questions and discussion to help you begin and sustain your own meditation practice. Wear loose, comfortable clothing; we will meditate sitting in chairs or on the floor (yoga mat is optional).

You will learn the optimum time to set the strategies in place (best before the junior year) and why, if you wait until the financial aid deadline to file your forms, you may miss out on the full amount of aid for which you qualify.
