Meditation & Up

I want to explore meditation as a way of gaining a more holistic understanding of "up." I have done a little bit of meditation here and there, but I do not know about the history of it, and I do not have much knowledge on different types of meditation. For the writing piece I am thinking about trying different types of meditation and writing a journal about it every day for a week or two. I want to self-reflect on the impact that meditating regularly has on my mind and body. I am also curious if I can find any connections with the words typically associated with meditation and the word play/implications of up that we discussed at the beginning of the semester. For the creating piece, I am interested in trying to express my meditation experience through art. I have always enjoyed art, but since coming to college it is not something I ever seem to have time for. I want to take the opportunity to be creative and try to express up and meditation through visual art. For the final presentation, I think it would be a good experience for our class to do another meditation together. Hopefully by then I have found a type of meditation that is my favorite and I can guide the class through it.
