Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ray is learning mindfulness meditation which emphasizes on becoming aware of one's thoughts, feelings and sensations. In this form of meditation, one is taught to observe their thoughts and not judge them or get caught up in them. Therefore, option D which suggests letting thoughts and memories pass freely through the mind is the most likely instruction that Ray would receive. The other options such as regulating breathing and minimizing external stimulation are more commonly associated with concentrative meditation which involves focusing on a single point of concentration. Generating specific mental images is a technique used in guided visualization or creative visualization exercises, but not commonly used in mindfulness meditation.
