Meditation & Education

The Gift of Simplicity

by Charles & Patricia Posnett

This booklet is a guide for those - especially teachers - who want to introduce primary school children to a daily meditation practice.  It offers a practical way to follow the teaching of Jesus who knew how much we can learn with children:  for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.

"Children meditate together as naturally as they play together...It has become clear that many children instinctively value this pure 'prayer of the heart'... Sitting together in meditation, where there is no competition, no judgement and no taking account of their background or their special needs, becomes a wonderful way of building community in the classroom.
