Mind Space visited Aldridge School to introduce the practice of Meditation to Year 10 students.
The sessions included an introduction to meditation, 10 minutes of guided meditation and an opportunity to explore creative communication techniques. There were four separate groups with around 40 students in each group. Responding exceptionally well to the practices to the delight of some of the teachers!
Out of around 150 students – 50% would like to experience the session and meditate again.
When asked: ” Do you think meditation would help your work and studies” the answer that came back from the group was “Yes it would help set your mind more to work”
