MEMPHIS MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS SKIP RECESS FOR MEDITATION

At Lausanne Collegiate School, a middle school in Memphis, Tenn., a group of middle school children opted out of recess so they could meditate, according to a recent report byChannel 3 News Memphis.

The group of 5th through 8th grade children sit this way once per week to help improve their concentration in class, and approximately 50 kids have signed up so far, and there is a waiting list of another 50 who want to enroll, the report stated.

“The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Greg Graber.  “The kids say not only do they enjoy it but it helps them concentrate and to focus and to feel better. They feel re-energized.”

One student, 11-year-old Henry Clayton, told the news outlet: “After you do it, you just feel a lot more relaxed, and you feel like a lot better about yourself and how the day’s going to go.”

i think they have an easy time getting to the healing brainwaves as compared to those who had to begin meditation after childhood ended

 

i would not advocate the palms up thing because we don't want to spiral into other people's psychic fields, and its not that they will reach that level, but theoretically they especially indigos could

 

the palms up causes the energy to flow into the physical world, whereas palms down brings spirit into body 

 

kids need some peaceful yoga, tai chi, singing bowls, and such 

 

as for ADD, MILD  INCREDIBLY SMALL doses of cannabis not AMPHETAMINES 

that brainwave alpha state heals the hyperactivity and induces profound retention of knowledge, we would go for under emphasis on the state rather than risk saturation and taking too much

 

this does a wonder for autism and etc, and its ingested orally such as peanut butter or etc. this is far safer for kids than ritalin and as it is a healing herb that generates new brain cells, cures cancer and alzhimers and etc, it cannot be seen as particularly harmfl in case of DIRE NEED obviously -- they would do this in india in the form of bhang so students could absorb information better -- 

it isn't so good for the aura or chakras necessarily but that's . well, if our schools realize that level of enlightenment we're well on our way to heaven :) 

personally i think all classes should begin with a chanting of OM and its absolutely imperative for school BELLS to be peaceful in nature not RING RING JAGGED ALARM GET UP AND GO . 

WONDERFUL!! Now if all school
