RE: A Gateway into my Mind: My realization about my worst Fear - My life and things that scares me
excellent!! Just learned something :)
Meditation helps mind and body ... soOoo why don't schools add Meditation - Mindfulness to its curriculum?? I'm sure if they do there would be less detentions and more students graduating with high grades and moving on to higher education :)
2 Reasons:
Teaching meditation is like teaching creativity. You can only show the way.
All points well noted :)
Perhaps we need 2 add "vital life skills" 2 education where there are no grades, however students get credit 4 participation
I recall reading that there are few schools in the US that added Meditation and Yoga to their curriculum to see benefits. Also read a few schools are replacing detention with Meditation
I suppose School Boards who truly care about their students will add value to their lives, and as for the rest ... well, ur #1 reason above says it all :D
Btw, thanks again for mentioning Ānāpānasati Meditation - will definitely learn about it - I do my own breathing meditation, however open 2 learning other effective techniques ... perhaps you can write a steemit post on how to do Ānāpānasati?? :)
You can go to https://coffeesource.net/vimukthi and filter with some tags like philosophy, spirituality, psychology, buddhism to find some articles. Here is one: https://steemit.com/buddhism/@vimukthi/an-invitation-try-this-near-impossible-but-very-simple-meditation-challenge-which-even-the-experts-fail-at-philosophy
Mainly what I do is just nothing...... just be aware of my own breathing process without thinking about anything. It looks too simple on paper but it's really hard. Just be conscious of the every breath you take.
