Week 2 Assignment 2


I gained knowledge of the psychological approach of mindfulness and the use of it to obtain and maintain a higher quality of life. Mindful meditation has to be consistent, just like anything worth evaluating the results of. Also, stress reduction was an effect of mindfulness. The most appalling information I found was that meditation is a “2500-year-old Buddhist meditation practice”.

               Using a familiar search engine, Google, I was able to access the Scholar engine to review articles. Using the CRAAP model I was able to bypass any information that didn’t seem legitimate and seemed to provide biased information. Making note of the year the articles were published was crucial because my topic is relatively recent in our western domain, therefore researching relevant articles is a must. Also, being aware of the authors and their credentials was important to determine if they were qualified to write on the topic.

Going more in depth of the stress reduction mindfulness meditation can provide, is an aspect of the topic I’d like to research further.
