Learning mindfulness and meditation techniques can be of great benefit in helping children to cope with any challenges. It can encoura
ge a positive view of experiences and teaches children (and adults) how to let go of negativity. Self esteem is built through children’s experiences so by enhancing positivity in their experiences, children’s sense of self is also enhanced and as a result, confidence is built. By learning mindfulness, children can learn to be more focused and concentrate better, again leading to more positive experiences, a building block to self esteem.
When practiced regularly, relaxation techniques
are steps towards meditation. In learning to relax, we can learn to let go and our body can physically relax. As relaxation is precursor to sleep, mindfulness can help promote more peaceful sleep.
It’s all building blocks to the same thing. When
we begin to build these blocks up, we can promote and achieve a peaceful mind which in turn leads to a more peaceful body and overall a peaceful life.
