| Abstract | Statement of the Problem: The competing pressures of college life can increase stress and anxiety in college students and have negative outcomes on academic performance and overall well-being. The purpose of this study was to use qualitative measures to examine how participation in a college level experiential meditation course impacted students' outlook on life and relationship with others. Method: Participants were (N = 28) enrolled in a 15 week meditation course which blended techniques from the Buddhist and mindfulness traditions. Data was compiled from written contemplations students completed about their meditation experience. Results: Qualitative analysis revealed that students became more mindful, compassionate, and experienced a heightened sense of psychological well-being from practicing meditation. Results demonstrated the practice of meditation can facilitate exploration of emotional states that support the process of self-actualization and improve overall college student well-being. Conclusions: Further study of the use of meditation in higher education with students will be beneficial in establishing the credibility of this practice in higher education institutions.
