Children can derive great benefits from the practice of meditation and the experience of mindfulness or the ‘here and now’. As they discover the pleasant calm that the technique can provide and see how much it helps them with their studies, children will take to it enthusiastically and incorporate it into their everyday lives. The practice of meditation re-affirms character in the best sense of the word, calming the mind and making thoughts serene and clear. It can also be very beneficial for the body.
