On Monday, September 21, we will be observing International Peace Day. As a part of our involvement, we have been considering the importance of mindfulness for creating inner peace. A mindfulness trainer will visit and speak to the eighth graders about this practice and lead them in guided meditation and conscious breathing. Any method that creates more personal peace—less stress—seems like a path to explore.
Interesting, I’m surprised I’ve never heard of a International Peace Day…I wish our high school had a mindfulness trainer to come and tell us how to relieve stress because I’m pretty sure 3/4 of our school is in stress because of grades, test, finals.
