Background
Students today are growing up in a rapidly changing world. It is so commonplace to see students today obsessed with mobile phones, pornography, video games and junk food. Unable to handle themselves, their studies, relationships with parents and the opposite gender, they get overwhelmed by stress or trapped in addictions and temptations that are so easily accessible today. This often leads to physical & psychological ailments.
Students need some skills to meet the challenges facing them and to develop their full potential. The period of adolescence is a crucial period where students need to learn how to develop right discrimination, how to sift between the right and the wrong so that they can progress in a wholesome manner in life. Equipping students with the necessary tools for their future is an indispensable part of education, yet it is not the entirety of what they actually may require. Schools have traditionally been adept at upskilling students, providing them with knowledge skills, physical fitness, co-curricular activities, and social skills to ensure they are well-prepared for the practical demands of the future. However, there is a growing recognition that such equipping is just one part of a more holistic approach to education.
To truly enrich the lives of students, we must also prioritize their mental, emotional and spiritual well-being; let’s say our students should be taught some life skills. This is where the ancient practice of Anapana and Vipassana Meditation become relevant even today.
Anapana Meditation helps students find a way to live peacefully and productively. Anapana is the first step in the practice of Vipassana Meditation. Anapana means observation of natural, normal breath, as it comes in and as it goes out. It is an easy-to-learn, objective and scientific technique which helps develop concentration and mindfulness.
The mind and the breath are inter-related; anything that arises in the mind, affects the breath. So, a person who learns to observe the breath, can, in time, become a master of one's own mind. Anapana can be learnt in a 90-minutes session.
All students are encouraged to attend and make the most of this enlightening session.
