Day 8

  On our final day of the Get Grounded by Training the Brain A-Term, we started the day off by naming our favorite anchors that we use to get grounded when we are practicing meditation or just in need of getting out of our head. We then proceeded to meditate with our anchors in mind, using them so that we don’t get swept away by our racing thoughts. After we had discussed how this meditation was for us, Emilio presented his final project to the class, which was a helpful meditation that focused on love and compassion regarding racism and bias. Next, we moved into our art section, where we reflected on our mandalas and the meaning of them and their different parts before having the dissolution ceremony for them. While destroying something you spent time and energy on might sound odd, this practice is a way to show that everything is temporary and that anything you get attached to will eventually come to pass and you need to learn to let things that you love go. The dissolution cerem...

Day 5: Mindful Walking and Sand Mandals

Day 5 of our Getting Grounded by Training the Brain course, like every other day of the course thus far, was productive, insightful, and exciting! Eleanor meditating on her yoga mat Like every other day of this A-term course, we meditated.

  As we begin to come to a close to our Getting Grounded by Training the Brain course, our days remain insightful and full of vast knowledge. Of course our day started out with meditation being led by Dr. Reese and continued with the introduction of a new form of meditation led by one of our peers, Eleanor Carter. She walked us through sun salutations. As we worked through our exercises we continued to better our yoga and meditations skills remaining mindful of our surroundings and peers. Of course this wasn’t the only student led practice today. We also had Kenzie Frazier present on the importance of connecting with nature and Charles McGill present on RAIN (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) meditation.  Following these exciting meditation sessions, Dr. Reese led us on a very intensive yoga session. Although our backs and legs ended up soar to some degree, we thoroughly enjoyed the both physical and mental workouts our bodies endured.  Later that afternoon...
