BIOL 3 Mindful Physiology

As defined by the Zen Master Thich Naht Hanh, “Mindfulness is the awareness of what is happening inside and around us in the present moment.” This course introduces basic physiology to help students increase their understanding of and appreciation for the biological mechanisms occurring inside and around their bodies. This course also teaches basic research principles to enable students to critically evaluate research studies on the physiological effects of mindfulness. To deepen students’ understanding of mindfulness and the scientific research examined, enrolled students will engage in mindfulness practices throughout the term.
