Your meditation project is a semester long project chronicling your meditation practice experiences, as well as summarizing your indepth knowledge of a particular topic area relevant to meditation (e.g., impact on stress, health, sleep, attention, creativity, relationships, etc).
A portion of your documentation of your meditation project is simply noting in some fashion when, where, how long, and your experience with meditation. This can be in the form of an annotated calendar, diary entry, or short essays (if you have another idea, let me know). Another portion of documentation is your reflection on any changes you notice in your self, life, well being, as a result of meditation. These will likely be in the format of short essays. You will be meditating at least once, if not twice per day (and thus will be documenting those experiences daily). Your reflections on any changes you notice, can occur weekly. You will then likely have a longer reflective essay at the end of the course encapsulating your entire meditation practice experience.
The topical portion of your mediation project will likely be in the form of a paper on whatever aspect of meditation you choose to explore indepth. If you have other ideas of how to demonstrate your knowledge in this culminating project (besides a paper), please let me know.
During the final period, you will turn in your project, and will briefly present aspects of it to the class.
