Meditation
Students are frequently
interested in meditation as many adults are. There are many ways
you
may be able to provide
opportunities for your students to experience meditation. Perhaps
there is
a local zendo or
other meditation center near you. Someone may come in to lead your
students through meditation practice.
The first meditation
practice I do with my students is the Meditation of Loving Kindness.
I offer two
websites and a book
for this. A Guided Meditation by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Kindness meditation

A Path with Heart
by Jack Kornfield, 1993, NY, Bantam
This book has many
meditation exercises which are excellent for you to use for yourself and
your
students.
