You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
I will continue to create a more solid outline of proposed changes as I delve further into the research. However, it is immediately clear that many of the citations need to be updated, as the majority are over 15 years old and new research has emerged since then. I plan to begin by updating the sources in the article that are over 5 years old. As I do, I will add additional sections covering new and emerging research.

I could add a section that discusses the benefits of meditation across the lifespan. There could be a section about the effects of meditation on various mental health and mood disorders including depression, the effects of meditation on the outcomes of psychotherapy practice when used with clients, the effects of meditation in educational interventions, the effects of meditation on executive functioning, the effects of meditation on chronic pain and chronic disease, the effects of meditation on longevity, and the effects of meditation in various populations including hospital patients and minority groups. More could be added to the section discussing the underlying mechanisms of meditation. Many types of meditation were not reviewed or discussed in the section "Effects of Other types of meditation". To this section I could add research on the effects of other types of meditation. I could also add a section comparing the outcomes and effects of different types of mediation.

More could be added to the section on emotion regulation and mindfulness, sleep, and future directions. Sections could also be added that discuss the impact of meditation practices on self-awareness, self-concept, emotional well-being or emotional stability, changes in blood pressure, immune system responses, addiction recovery, and memory.
