junior meditators

I have been teaching kids to meditate since the beginning of the year and today found myself sitting at the front of a class of thirty 6 and 7 year olds all cross legged, eyes closed, hands in laps and actually meditating. It made me smile, alot. I also teach a class of slightly older children who are lovely and patient and fantastic meditators. It is wonderful to think that these kids will have this tool for navigating life in a peaceful way. I think everyone needs to do some mind training. It is surely as important (perhaps more) than training our bodies. Giving thanks to my teachers and all those who have gone before them. K.xx
