Healthy Student Initiative

"The program progressively trained students in mindfulness of breathing, a form of meditation frequently employed secularly. The tutorials were held on campus five times weekly, led by a faculty member and a graduate student who were trained, experienced MM practitioners. The tutorials were one hour in duration and typically involved 40-45 minutes of guided MM followed by a question-answer period that addressed recent research findings. Program participation required attendance at one tutorial per week, and participants were encouraged to maintain autonomous MM practice."
