Stanford University Day of Mindfulness Reflection After reading Chapter 8 of Full Catastrophe Living, you will schedule a “Day of Mindfulness” for yourself. I encourage you to plan your day at any time after the semester mid-point; 6/17 on. Your “Day of Mindfulness” must include at least six uninterrupted hours of a variety of meditations that can include sitting, walking, lying down, body scan, yoga, lovingkindness, eating, etc. Ground rules include no talking or making eye contact with others, no leisure reading (novels, etc.), and you must turn off technology for the day (including phones, computers, tv, radio, etc.). If an emergency arises then you may attend to that of course, but otherwise you must complete all six hours of the day of mindfulness. During this time, you may meditate, journal, practice yoga or some type of movement, and eat. After you complete your day of mindfulness, you must write a 3-4-page response paper about your experience. Write about the joys and challenges of participating, how you felt before and after, thoughts and emotions that emerged throughout the day, pain/discomfort and other body sensations that occurred and anything else that came up for you during the day.

Paper parameters:

3-4 pages (3 page minimum, no more than 4 pages)
APA Format
12-pt Times New Roman font
1” margins all around
Double-spaced, indent 5 spaces for new paragraph
Separate title page
