The Case for Child Meditation

   Although I don"t often get the opportunity, I really enjoy talking to children about mindfulness and meditation.  Meditation has been proven again and again to improve every facet of your life.  But it"s not just for adults.  Meditation and mindfulness practices in children have been becoming increasingly popular.  One of the reasons is the fact that many pro coaches admit to teaching meditation to their players.  But I think another reason is a need for spiritual awareness.  Somewhere along the way, we have lost touch with the fact that we are spiritual creatures.  However, just in case your cynicism is at an all-time high, there have been so many studies done to prove the effectiveness of meditation among children.  It has been proven to reduce stress and impulsiveness, improve academic, sports, AND behavior performances.  And the best part is, your child can use meditation for the rest of his or her life.
