🌷Friendship with Own Breath🌷
The object of meditation given to the students is observation of pure, natural breath--as it comes in, as it goes out--which is not sectarian or objectionable in any manner.
By watching the pure and natural respiration continuously over a period of time, the child starts to understand the true flickering nature of her own mind, its nature of rolling in the past and future, getting anxious and tense.
Gradually, as one practises, the mind gets trained to remain aware of the present by observing the breath, which is the reality of the present moment.
Then one experiences inner peace and tranquillity.
Concentration improves, resulting in better performance in all spheres of activities and the child starts gaining confidence.
🌷 The child learns that by developing strong friendship with her own breath, she can gain mastery over her mind and get rid of impurities like fear, anger, hatred, jealousy etc., which makes her miserable and results in causing misery for others.
Observance of silence is emphasised while meditating in the hall and children are also encouraged to try and maintain silence while doing other activities as besides continuity of practice and other rules, silence is the main key to success.
