 Meditation is a quiet time
where you can be with yourself and listen to your heart. No, it’s
not a difficult thing. In fact, meditation is easy
for children. You don't need any special tool or a special teacher.
Yes, that’s right. You don’t need anything to meditate. All you need is
YOU! You can meditate anywhere, any time. This week and next week,
let’s learn how to meditate and why it is good for you.
We are all living a busy life. Even children are very busy
with many things. Living a busy life itself is not a bad thing. Being
busy means you are doing your
best every day. But we often forget who we really are. Also, we often
forget to listen to our hearts. Meditation can help you think about
yourself and listen to your inner voice.
Listening to your inner voice is very important. This is because it
always tells you the truth about yourself. Your
heart is the real home of you. When you can listen to your heart,
you will feel joy and happiness. You will be able to know who you really
are, too.
We have so many different feelings. Sometimes you feel
sad. Other times you feel worried or angry. Well, here
is a little secret. Meditation will help
you become the happiest person in the
world! The happiest people in the world are those who know and understand their hearts. If you learn how
to understand your heart, you can be one of them.
 Did you
know that meditation can also help you solve your problems? We often
face many problems - too
much homework, friend problems, family troubles, and so on. When you are stressed
and don’t know what to do, it’s time to meditate. Find a quiet place where you can
be alone. Then, lie down or sit still and relax. Try to think about
beautiful things. A quiet time and beautiful thoughts can help you come up with some new ideas
to solve your problems. Meditation is a great way for you to focus on your strengths, too.
Now, let’s do a little practice. Make sure you are in a quiet
place. Don’t let anything bother you. Now, lie down
on your bed or floor. Try to feel very comfortable. Keep your eyes
closed. Imagine yourself walking
along a beach on a sunny day. See the waves come and go. Watch
the waves, while breathing in and out evenly. Try to enjoy the
comfortable feeling. After about 5 minutes, stretch out your arms and
legs. Take a deep breath and sit up. You will feel very
refreshed!
Next week, I will tell you more details about how to meditate.
