Life Skills & Value Education – CLASS-VI – UNIT-7 Teaching Life Skills Through Meditation

Mindful meditation is all about awareness and being in the moment–focusing on your body and surroundings without making any judgments. Everyone will be able to benefit from meditating as a family.

Meanwhile, mindful meditation can be used to teach children how to pay attention to their surroundings, improve their memory and develop a positive self-concept. Meditation harnesses the power of the inner energy already within you known as the subtle energy, or Kundalini energy. This inner energy system includes a complete system of energy channels and energy centers, or chakras,  of which is associated with specific human characteristics and traits. The energy centres are the accumulators of qualities and traits within us. And the Spirit is our ultimate soul, or root of our existence. It is the ultimate and deepest level of our identity. It is who we ultimately are as individuals. These key energy system components work in synchronicity to drive every aspect of

our well-being — cognitive, emotional, physical and spiritual.

The ten top skills that a regular meditation practice can help you to develop are –

1. Being Present

Being present with ourselves gives us the insight we need to understand our moods and emotions, and even the way these are reflected in the physical signs our body gives us.

2.Learning to consciously relax

The deep breathing and present moment awareness that comes with meditation can help you to relax at will during other times of your life.

3.Witness your thoughts without judgement.

The ability to witness your thoughts without judgement means you are no longer controlled by them or any negativity they bring up. This is an incredible benefit of meditation.

4. Focus and concentration

When you can focus on an object or on your breath without being distracted you strengthen your ability to concentrate and hold your attention for a period of time.

5. Intuition

The simple practice of tuning into yourself regularly deepens this connection and makes it a natural way for you to clarify what you want and which direction to take based on no other authority than your own wisdom.

6. Mindfulness

It’s the ability to be in the moment and pay attention to whatever is happening in a way in which you are fully aware.

7. Being open minded

When you meditate you are practicing non-judgement, learning to simply observe and accept things as they are. This encourages a truly open mind in the rest of your life, helping you to remain an observer of situations rather than someone with limited preconceptions. It can also help you to remain curious, spontaneous and creative.

8. Listening to your body

Meditation teaches you to become sensitive to the messages your body sends you.

9. Listening to your inner child

Meditation can awaken you to some deep areas within your psyche that need your attention.

10. Boosting creativity

Meditation can help you to hone your ability to create and visualize. Meditation can give you the motivation and courage to think outside of the box, see things in new ways and create with confidence at home or at work.
