A word to the adults about meditation for children
We salute your wonderful parenting
abilities and compassionate heart as you introduce meditation to your children.
It really is the best gift you can give anyone, as it means their life will be
so much happier and easier when they have an understanding of their own heart
and soul.
Nothing can harm a meditator who is one with the universe!
When teaching children, we must never forget that we are all
children in the spiritual life.
There is no age, just souls
traveling together.
You would know to never patronize a child, they are
just as likely to be far more advanced than yourself spiritually and almost
certainly have more receptivity.
Undoubtedly childhood is the most precious time
of all for us spiritually, for it is the natural time of openness, spontaneity
and joy, in short, a time when the soul is still naturally present.
See every soul as your brother or
sister, a spiritual companion that we each will learn lessons from, love and
laugh with.
Many great masters have taught that the best cohort is a child of heart
and mind.
Remember that Jesus spoke a truth
that all philosophies agree with when he said that we must become as children to
enter the kingdom of heaven.
These meditation exercises are
simple in language but no less ‘high’ than any ‘adult’ meditation. They are
suggested for different ages because of their complexity of language, not
spiritual height, and so it will be of great benefit if all family members do
exercises together. For older children why not try the full
online meditation course, with
your help and discussion of course
