Meditation in the Classroom


"The faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention, over and over again, is the very root of judgement, character, and will... An education which should improve this faculty would be the education par excellence."

                                                                                                                 - William James, The Principles of Psychology (1890)

The cornerstone of learning is attention; without one-pointedness the ability to learn is hindered, as is the ability to prove what is known. The environment is paramount in promoting meditative awareness, or not. Teachers and students often seek respite from the wandering, rampant mind through music, entertainment, technology, or other distractions. 

Are there more effective practices that promote mental stillness for teachers and students? By understanding the psychological and neurological connections between sustained attention and emotional well-being, we as educators promote not only our student’s discovery of true success, but our own as well.
