Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore whether meditation is a beneficial practice in the composition classroom and to validate theoretical claims to its efficacy. Core questions centered on whether or not meditation could help lessen writing blocks, get the writer into the "flow" of writing, spark creativity, and ease the overall writing process.
