Mindful meditation and pediatric anxiety

This is a mindful meditation project for a complimentary and integrative therapies course in graduate school. I have also attached files for some of the research I have already gathered. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

project description from course syllabus-I am choosing to do the research paper, not the powerpoint with voiceover:

Project 2: Mindfulness Meditation: Research Paper

Purpose: The goal of this assignment is to create a presentation to train clinicians so they may educate clients/patients to use Mindfulness Meditation as part of an integrative approach to better managing an identified health condition.

Instructions: You will create a presentation in the form of a PowerPoint with audio or a Research Paper. Choose a chronic health condition (i.e. diabetes, anxiety, depression, obesity, high blood pressure, etc.) and present the literature on this condition. Provide a rationale for using Mindfulness Meditation to address aspects of this condition. Choose at least three Mindfulness Meditation practices (different from the ones featured in Project 1) and present the literature on the potential effectiveness of these practices on the selected health condition. Your presentation will serve to educate fellow clinicians on the use of Mindfulness Meditation practices to address the selected condition. See the “Required Elements for the Project” and the “Mindfulness Meditation Project Rubric”, below.
