Meditating With Children

When you teach children how to create with their minds and how to access the stillness inside them, you’re giving them tools that will help them cultivate the best lives possible.

Once we’ve discovered all that meditation can do for us, we have the opportunity to share that knowledge with our children. Since a child’s first experiences take place in the home, what they learn there provides a foundation of knowledge and then becomes their basis for comparison as they move out into the world. Even if we may not feel that we are qualified to teach, we can plant the seeds that will give them a basic understanding of the peace and power that lie within them.

There are many ways we can instill the value of meditation. Since children tend to learn just as much, if not more, by observation and imitation rather than instruction, we can teach by example. By following our practice, we show them that meditation is part of daily life. Even if they appear to resist, they will come to understand meditation’s importance in maintaining their inner health if you treat it as something as essential as eating well and keeping proper hygiene. Young children aren’t the only ones who can gain by learning meditation; preteens and teenagers can also benefit by acquiring the skills necessary to calm their minds and spend quality family time meditating together.

You may be able to introduce them to the concept of closing their eyes and taking inner journeys by listening to visualization CDs/downloads, or you may be comfortable enough to guide them through a visualization of your own. Creating a time of quiet listening in the middle of guided imagery helps them know that they can be silent and go within whenever they choose. You might want to sit together and hold hands, creating a deep bonding ritual that may become everyone’s favorite part of the day. By discussing it afterward, you can discover how your child experiences his or her inner world. When you teach children how to create with their minds and how to access the stillness inside them, you’re giving them tools that will help them cultivate the best lives possible.

Being Gentle With Ourselves

The more we treat our bodies with gentleness, the more tenderness and compassion we’ll call forth into our lives.

There are times when our days are filled with what seems to be constant change and growth. It can be difficult to notice what’s happening to us, as we may be so caught up in the whirlwind of our lives that we lose sight of the direction in which things are heading. And since it can be easy to use all our energy to keep up with the momentum, we may not realize that we’re much more likely to become run-down. When things seem to be moving quickly, it’s especially essential that we make a point to slow down and be gentle with ourselves.

This doesn’t mean that we don’t accomplish anything. Instead, it’s about honoring ourselves on an ongoing basis and taking care of the needs of our bodies. This means different things to different people. For instance, it could be having a session with a healer; taking a remedy, herbs, or vitamins; or getting extra sleep. Putting our energy into ourselves in this way helps create space for a more positive, loving, and accepting view of our lives. By setting the intention to do so, we’ll start to become cognizant of our energy levels on a daily basis and increasingly able to replenish them as needed.

The more we treat our bodies with gentleness, the more tenderness and compassion we’ll call forth into our lives. Learning to pay attention to and understand what we need will allow us to fill our lives with unlimited loving and healing energy — and to truly take care of the things that mean the most to us.
