MINDFUL SCHOOLS

I am devoting this post today to talking about Mindful Schools. There are already quite a few schools around the world which have decided to apply mindfulness to their curriculum. Teachers and educators are also being trained to use mindfulness in their classrooms.
Mindfulness is a way of focussing life, being conscious of the present situation, of breathing, of helping to give a more healthy and intelligent response to problems,  frustrations,  pain...
It also creates space, changing impulsive reactions to thoughtful responses.
The application of mindfulness by students and educators has the potential to improve academic achievement, mental health, and inter- and intra-personal relationships.

I will include the following video that shows the mindful schools in- class instruction programme in action:
