Use meditation techniques to ease midterm frustration, stress
Posted: October 15, 2014 at 5:47 pm
Midterm week is upon the campus, and so is the stress that many students face while studying for exams among their already busy schedules.
The stress is apparent throughout Parks Library with students' faces buried into textbooks. In the midst of the busy college life, it can be difficult for students to balance their busy class schedules, work and various other student clubs and activities while trying to make time to study for an exam.
The presence of midterms on campus does not worry Connor Bright, senior in psychology and president of the Dizang-Qi Buddhism Club. He said the Buddhist practice of meditation has helped him deal with stress in his life.
The worst thing about my major is that all my midterms are night exams, said Sean Gay, freshman in meteorology. I was pretty stressed, I had class all day and then night exams, and I was working. I was staying up really late at night and wasn't getting very much sleep.
Gay said that some of the things he does to calm stress is to try to get plenty of sleep, take 15 minutes to call a friend and even taking time after exams to relax and catch up on a favorite TV show. But he had never thought of using meditation as a way of dealing with stress. He said meditation confused him. When he tried to sit in quiet and not think about his stress, he ended up thinking about everything even more, making him more stressed out then he already was, he said.
Most people think about [meditation] in the wrong way, Bright said. They think that they can just sit down and shut themselves up [to calm stress], but that's not what you do. You have to develop this concentration and this focus.
Jie Shao, a sales manager at Lihuatech Co. Ltd and a supportive member of the club, said he tries to put himself in other people's shoes and be open to helping others when it comes to dealing with stress. He thinks the Buddhist meditation method helps with stress and can help others.
I don't want suffering, and at the same time others do not want suffering, Shao said. If suffering is not good, then we should help them eliminate their sufferings too. This is the reason [Buddhists] often do analytical meditation, to understand why we should give people love and kindness.
A couple of the meditation techniques practiced in the club are Samatha, which focuses on a single point, such as breath, and helps to calm. Another is Vipassana, or seeing reality as it really is by self-observing how the body physically senses and how those senses connect to the mind.
We focus on the mind. The purpose is to improve mind quality, Shao said.

Moms solution for her picky eater: bento lunchboxes
Posted: at 5:46 pm
Shes up at 4 a.m. to prepare creative, nutritious meals. Her reward? Daughter looks forward to eating her baon By Pam Pastor |Philippine Daily Inquirer
KAT and daughter Zen working on a bento
OWL bento SID MADERAZO
Katrina Delgado-Maderazo was concerned. Zen, her six-year-old daughter, wasnt finishing her school meals.
I thought of experimenting with clever and interesting ways to make her meal more enticing to eat, said Kat.
Her solution? Giving her kids baon a bento makeover, using the Japanese art of elaborately designed, home-packed meals: I thought maybe that will do the trick; maybe if I come up with a cute bento for my daughter, she will eat more in school.
Her first design was a caterpillar that she made using edamame and brown rice. It was an instant hit with Zen, who ate all of it. That was more than enough to encourage me to pursue this craft.
SIX-YEAR-OLD Zen sketches her own bento ideas for her mom to carry out.
Kat researched online, watched video tutorials, bought books, tools and accessories and kept making bento after bento to the delight of Zen and Sky, Kats four-year-old son.
SKY watches as his mom Kat makes an owl.

THE world championships stage awaits a Warrnambool aerobics squad next week.
The eight athletes, members of EKB Fitness and Aerobics, are counting down the days until they test their abilities against the best in the world.
They leave Melbourne on Saturday bound for Prague to contest the Federation of International Sport Aerobics and Fitness titles from October 22 to 26.
Squad coach Emma Bellman said the athletes headed to the Czech Republic capital with high hopes after months of almost-daily training.
Bellman, her sister Sophie Bellman and Aylish Auchettl collectively known as Audacity will compete in the senior trios section.
Jordan Rooke qualified in the junior male solo section and is chasing back-to-back medals after winning silver in the mixed pairs 12 months ago.
The four will join Tiarna Drake, Teagan Drake, Emily Daniels and Tali Morrissey in the senior fitness teams section, competing under the banner Fierce.
