Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

Research on the benefits of meditation for students is so strong that meditation should be part of the curriculum in every classroom from kindergarten through graduate school. One school tracked suspensions and showed a 45% decrease after meditation was introduced. Other studies show: increased academic success; improved mental health; increased confidence; better sleep; greater efficiency; improved physical health; heightened focus; reduced stress and anxiety; increased attention span; more positive thinking; and even possible decreases in substance abuse, addictions and eating disorders. When state mandated testing was introduced, our focus shifted away from developing critical thinkers, life-long learners and well-rounded individuals. Join us Thursday to learn how teaching meditation can help reverse this trend with the added benefits of giving students tools for peace, clarity and compassion.
