Meditation

Before you start you have the option to introduce your children to meditation.

Description

A young Thai girl says, “I like to meditate. I sit and meditate every day. It makes me feel good and I think it makes me do better at school too.” In each of the following courses, we have advice on introducing your children to the benefits of meditation which can help them not be stressed and help them to concentrate – and help them to learn English. We advise looking at the advice in each course so that you can adapt our suggestions to your practical circumstances.

Beginning Meditation

  1. Play some peaceful music.
  2. Find a space for the children to lie down or sit. Explain in their own language and repeat in English that they can cross their legs or try and sit up nice and tall or they can sit on a chair. Take a moment to get settled.
  3. Give them a little moment to fidget or wriggle a little bit, so they are happy to stay still and relaxed.
  4. Ask them to notice their breathing. Get them to slow their breathing down, so that it is easier to follow…. the in-breathe … and the out-breathe…. in .. and .. out. Next time as they breathe out let their eyes softly close.
  5. Perhaps have a soft chime or bell to start and stop the meditation. Meditate for just 3 minutes
