Revolutionized my daily life. As a busy student with a job, my plate is always full, I highly recommend making time for this course to reduce stress and improve focus.鈥澨�鈥揃ryn, USM Law
I was practicing meditation for five听years听and it was difficult. During the first session of听SKY, I went so much deeper into meditation than I had ever gone.鈥澨�鈥揝antosh, UIUC
SKY听made me very conscious of my thought patterns, and conscious of a sense of self that exists independent of those thoughts and different moods. I听have found听a daily practice that is something I鈥檓 relying on. (And this finals period has been largely stress free, mainly because meditating removes most of that stress!)鈥澨�鈥揝arah, Harvard
