Clear Mind at School
Our meditation classes for schools gives kids of all ages the opportunity to discover meditation and how to connect to their potential for true inner peace and happiness.
Meditation and mindfulness techniques are time-tested methods for helping people (of all ages) rein in their distracted and anxious minds. Taking that boundless energy of children and assisting them in directing it toward a single object of meditation - their own breath, for example - can do wonders for them. A restless mind is not a happy mind, and children are quick to pick up on this. And with a little guidance and instruction, the young meditators can readily tap into the joys of kindness and empathy. We've heard amazing tales from some of the schoolchildren who have sat down to meditate. The teachers as well report back to us about a noticeable shift in energy in their classes. "Calmer...more connected with each other...less stressed." To grow a peaceful world, grow peaceful children. Everyone wins.
