Introduction to Mindfulness (X226)

This class is an introduction to mindfulness, including what it is, and what it is not. There is a brief description of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) meditation practices, and we will practice at least one short meditation during class. Class time is divided equally between presentation of ideas, group discussion and meditation practice. Prior meditation experience is not necessary. No text is required.
