My students practice mindfulness each Monday with a guided meditation. They focus on their breathing, relaxing their bodies, and being present in each moment. We currently use our chairs or sit on the floor, but this is not an optimal environment for meditation. My students have expressed that if we all had our own "space" we would be more comfortable and successful in our practice. I know that meditation cushions would give each child their own place within the classroom, where he or she would feel comfortable and safe. "If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world in one generation." -Dalai Lama I have seen the impacts that a short meditation can have on students in the fast-moving pace of our 21st century classrooms. It is my passion to continue allowing my students this practice to inspire them to live a life of mindfulness and inner peace.
