Abstrakt: This study used a community based participatory research (CBPR) model to explore the impact contemplative practice has on Master's level counseling students while engaging in their practicum course. Four counseling students and two faculty researchers created process questions to be contemplated through a 10 week period. Results indicated that students gained self-awareness of their calm, relaxed states during contemplative practice, which contrasted to their worried and tense states when engaging in client contact hours. Over time, students were able to be reflexive in direct client contact by drawing upon the self-awareness gained through regular contemplative practice. Unintended benefits of engagement in a CBPR study and future research directions are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
