Relaxation Exercise
Mantra Meditation
If you missed the class that we
learned about and practiced meditation, or if you would just like to get
more cool info about meditation, you can find it in chapter 21 of the
class textbook.
Instructions for how to do Mantra Meditation can

This
week's relaxation exercise is for you to practice mantra meditation
similar to the one we did in class AT LEAST 2 TIMES.
Do it at a time when you will not be disturbed. This
does not work if you are interrupted. Take approximately 10-15 minutes
each time you try.
On your typed paper, thoroughly respond to each
of these items referring to the two times that you did them at home, and the time that you did it with us in class.
