Meditation for Students

Boys and girls it is now our time to prepare for the day ahead. Please close any books that are open, put down your pencil and clear your desk. Sit up straight in your chair, fold your hands and close your eyes. Listen to my voice and use your mind to take you to your safe place.

You are now sitting quietly in your place, you are safe here and loved. There is nothing to fear. Please focus your thoughts now on you and what you can do to have a wonderful day of learning.  Know that your interactions with others should come from respect.  For what you think or say about them you think and say about yourself.  Be positive and pleasant.  When annoyed or angry take a deep breath and think about how you would feel in their place before you speak. Remember that we are all connected, what we do has a direct impact on others and on Earth, like a ripple effect when you toss a stone into water.

Today and every day you will hear what is being taught. You will focus your intentions on being successful as you learn, and as you are learning it, it will be retained in your mind and you will be able to remember it as needed.  All you will have to do is focus your thoughts and see it in your mind. Things are not always easy for us, but we can choose to persevere and look inside ourselves for guidance.

As you move through your day today, listen, observe and learn. May all of your interactions with others come from a place of kindness and respect.  When you are ready please count to ten and open your eyes prepared and focused for the day.
