Discussion Discussion
  • Creating a ‘silent space’ in the mind. Can we use mindfulness for this? How will this help in dealing with challenging situations in school.
  • Learn to be patient by watching how the mind reacts/responds to situations. Is it good to have knee-jerk reactions to situations OR cultivate mindful-responses with patience? Discuss with examples related to school, class.
  • When traveling to school or to a relative’s house, how can we be mindful and patient in the vehicle, particularly if it’s public transport? Similarly, when walking on the road? Or going to a shop and waiting in a queue to make payments?
  • Practising mindfulness in all these situations is made easy, when we do our daily practices (eg, sitting, walking, listening, eating/tasting mindfully).
  • Being mindful of the postures: can we be fully aware when we change our posture – from sitting to standing, from standing to walking, from walking to lying down mindfully?
