Four week Course: July 21 & 28, August 4 &11

Cost  $40.00

Preregistration required

As our children grow, they are faced with many difficult tasks: how to behave as adults expect them to, how to get along with others (including siblings!), how to get through the school day.  However, the most monumental task of all is discovering who they are.  What better way is there to help them in all of these challenges than to give them the tools to look inward?

Meditation has been shown to help adults and children learn to relax and let go of stress.  This can lead to better sleep at night and increased ability to concentrate during the day.  It has also been shown to improve symptoms associated with ADD.  Over time, a meditation practice will help your child make stronger contact with his own inner strength which will give him more self-confidence and shield him from the destructive influence of peer pressure.  It will also help her get along more easily with others and find a happiness that springs from knowing her innermost self.

Topics will include how to sit comfortably, concentration on the breath, beginning mantra, releasing tension, and applying the practice to daily life.  Parents are welcome to attend as well.

This will be a friendly, light-hearted class.  We will meet for ½ hour every Wednesday during the four week session to learn the techniques covered in the course, and the children will encouraged to practice at least once every day for 10-15 minutes.
