Students Relieve Stress In Meditation Class

Fifteen students are choosing to relieve stress in a class called Meditation and Mindfulness.

The class is taught by Joanne Pfeiffer, nursing professor, and offered on Mondays from 8 - 10 a.m. The class is currently held in the Krumm building, Room 5. This is the first semester the two-credit class has been offered.

The class teaches the different types of meditation, and the benefits to meditating. The class currently has 15 students, and Pfeiffer said she is hoping to expand and offer a second session in the upcoming semesters. Through use of a textbook and Pfeiffer teaching the class, students are able to explore all aspects of meditation.

The class is a more in-depth look at what meditation truly is. Pfeiffer said, "We are exploring what meditation is from the most simplest to the most evolved form."

The class allows students to learn and individualize what meditation technique works best for them.

Bri Perry, nursing senior, said, "Once you find out what works for you, which is what the class teaches, it's a life-long thing." (MORE)
