MPSY 6380 - Mindfulness Meditation Lab


(2.0 Credits. Pass/Fail)
This course will provide students with training in three main forms of meditation being commonly practiced today: mindfulness meditation, insight (vipassana) meditation, and loving kindness (metta) meditation. While spiritual in nature-in the sense that they foster the development of inner values, peace of mind, insight into one’s own mental processes, and kindness toward others-these meditations are secular and universal, and therefore appropriate for individuals of any (or no) religious affiliation. Although these meditations have been shown to have demonstrable psychological and physical health benefits, the focus of this course will be on the actual practice of the meditation, rather than on meditation theory and the scientific study of meditation.
