Meditation Workshops

November-December 2020

Dear Parents,

During the last couple of weeks, your child has participated in a meditation workshop at school where he/she has learned some calming and relaxing exercises. You may now set a challenge with your child to hold a two-minute meditation practice three times per week. As your child gets comfortable with the exercises, you may slowly increase the length until they can be held for five minutes.

Tibetan Singing Bowl
If you do not have a Tibetan singing bowl at home, your child can complete this exercise simply by closing their eyes and concentrating on a relaxing sound (meditation music, rain, singing birds, a water fountain, etc.).

Crystal Energies
Your child has received a pouch containing four crystals (view list below) and has learned how to activate their palm chakras (energy points located at the centre of our palms) to enhance their ability to sense crystal energies. Your child may hold a crystal with their left hand to benefit from its energy or hold it with their right hand to release excess energy from their body; they may also experiment holding several crystals with either one or both hands.

Contemplation
Your child has received an image associated with health and balance, love and support, and patience (http://lightandloveproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Health-and-balance-love-and-support-patience.png). They can benefit from these energies by simply focusing on the image and silently exploring the world within it (Who is the person in the image? What is the person doing? What is the person thinking? Etc.).

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.

Thank you,
David Lacopo.
