Granted, some students are more amenable than others, but we've found that the vast majority of students we work with in our center are willing to participate in brief breathing and meditative exercises. Our hope is that the work we do with students in our center, even if only for a few minutes during each session, will become the building block for more extensive and more regular mindful practices. We are also really excited about all the media attention meditation has been receiving lately; hopefully, continued discussion/education about the benefits of meditation and breathing exercises will further enhance the likelihood of students engaging in these practices.
