For my senior project I am writing about a presentation I did on meditation for a project in Advanced Health Careers at CTC. The project objective was to demonstrate an activity, diet, or change in lifestyle that could be taught to a patient in any medical setting to improve wellness. I chose the topic of meditation for my presentation. The project required a written outline of our topic and presentation, visual aid included in the presentation, an overview of our topic that involves the class, and at least three resources used in research of our topic. Multiple steps were required to be taken in the process of creating the presentation. I first researched medical oriented topics relating to wellness that could be taught to a patient. I decided to use meditation as my topic of choice. Afterwards, I researched my topic and created an outline of what my presentation would include. The presentation consisted of an overview of meditation, brief history of meditation, positive effects of the practice, and ways to meditate. I made a PowerPoint presentation to work as my visual aid, including outlines of what I was saying and pictures. At the end of my PowerPoint, I used a Headspace video lesson on meditation so the class could experience meditation and form an opinion based on it. Finally, I typed out and touched up on my outline used for the presentation. …show more content…

Research of many medical articles were required to find a topic in which I would present, and research my topic once I decided on one. At least three resources where required to be listed on the topic we would be presenting to the class. Included in the presentation, I used a PowerPoint to act as a visual aid to the class. The PowerPoint included slides summarizing what I was saying and pictures to act as examples. I also used a Headspace video lesson to demonstrate meditation to the class and actively involve them, allowing them to experience meditation on their

The topic of my capstone project is to educate other members of the team such as respiratory therapist, pharmacist, and radiology technicians about the scope of practice and the role of the nurse practitioners in different settings including the emergency department. Many of these co-workers have a lack of information about the skills, duties, and responsibilities of the nurse practitioners and sometimes this can delay treatment for patients due to clarifications for orders. If the roles of the nurse practitioners are explained and clarified to other members of the team the treatments for patients can be executed faster, but also “Advanced Nurse Practitioners can have a positive impact on other staff members by improving knowledge, skills

The American Revolution was primarily caused by the Proclamation of 1763, the Tax Acts, and the Coercive Acts that were forced upon the Americans by the English. The Proclamation of 1763, while not as inflammatory as the Tax Acts or Coercive Acts, marked the beginning of England’s attempt to control America. The Tax Acts appeared to be extremely unjust to the Americans, who insisted that a government that they did not elect had no right to decide what taxes they would pay. The Coercive Acts were passed to punish the rebels of Massachusetts, but it only further revealed the injustice of England to the rest of America. This further united the country in one common cause: to free America from the English tyranny.

To start off, I believe that I had a decent oral presentation, good body language, and provided a good channel of communication. From what I remember, I did not use filler words such as “um,” “uh,” and “like” too often, and also did not pause to find my place in my speech. This allowed my speaking to flow without any unnecessary respites in my presentation and meet the timed goal of less than 5 minutes. Pertaining to my body language, I was able to prevent any bad habits such as swaying my body, fidgeting with my clothing and hands, and unneeded handling of my note cards. I had a sufficient amount of hand gestures towards my audience and my Powerpoint.

What is Reiki? Pronounced "ray-key", the word "Reiki" is actually made up of two Japanese words: "rei" meaning "universal" and "ki" meaning "life force". " Ki" has the same meaning as the Chinese "chi" (as in Tai Chi) or "qi" (Qi Gong), or the Hindu/Indian idea of "prana". Therefore Reiki literally means "universal life force," and this phrase is the commonly used Western term for the energy that is channeled by the practitioner during the practice of Reiki. The practitioner serves as a conduit for this force.

When you form the habit of meditating daily, you become more mindful of your environment, and the more aware you become, the more you tend to take note of seemingly insignificant things that could brighten your day. For instance, by engaging in meditation, you start noticing minute things such as the noise of dry leaves through gentle breeze in the backyard, the tweeting of birds in the bush, the sound of raindrops as they hit ground and the smell emanating from it, the sensation of warmth caressing your skin, the cry, of a baby, etc. We further in studying the various type of

I had a positive experience with this breathing meditation because I focused my attention on my breath as well as my smile. There was a part of the audio that the narrator suggested to “smile” while I was breathing at the same time. I had a pleasant time to work with this meditation because it also included background music with the sounds of birds chirped. During and after my meditation, I did not judge myself because I was familiar with breath and opened to accept how my body functioning. I found a challenge to bring my attention to my breath and smile at the time as the narrator of the audio suggested.

When exploring what is health, it looks at the idea of an individual being free from illness or injuries (World Health Organization 1948). WHO further explains that it is the state of complete: physical, mental, and social well-being and not the absence of disease or infirmity (health context, 2018) In 1986 during Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, WHO said health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living, also is a positive concept emphasizing social, personal resources, and physical capacities.

When you hear someone say I'm going to yoga class you tend to think it’s a woman, but that shouldn't be the case because this past semester I have taken yoga class and I'm a 20 year old college guy, not your typical yoga type, I tend t be a little on the hot head side sometimes but taking this class has helped tremendously with many situations, such as stress, frustration and aggravation. Honestly, this class was not really my thing I wasn't too excited about it when I heard I was put into it but it does help with my peace of mind. I typically have certain goals or at least a purpose for taking a class like this but this one I didn't really have an actual reason to take it, it was something that I really thought would be completely useless too me but it's improved my mental and physical attitude toward most things.

Mindfulness, in its simplest form, means to be able to pay attention to the present moment, without judgment and criticism. To the things that actually “are”.
