Mindful Meditation

    “Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves and our experience.”

    – Jon Kabat-Zinn

    At Akanksha Schools, Mindful Meditation has become a serious subject of study
    It is not simply the calming benefits of the meditation that are emphasised upon, but the clarity of thought it can bring to the students’ studies.
    Mindful meditation is the art of staying in the present moment
    It’s the art of being with yourself and being aware of your thoughts, so that, that awareness translates into control over those same thoughts
    Every school day, in and Akanksha School, begins with the practice of this quite control over thoughts
    So that the mind becomes a familiar place and not a stranger with a will of its own
    And the teachers swear by the benefits it brings into the classroom for their other studies
    “Mindfulness isn’t difficult, we just need to remember to do it.” – Sharon Salzberg
