The links above are some of our favourite meditations. If you really concentrate on your breathing and listen carefully you get to go on n imaginary journey. Its a great way to start the day.

Each day our whole school goes to the hall as sson as we have done the roll. We then do a Karakia in Maori and sign language, sing a couple of waiata then meditate. At the start we thought it was a bit weird to sit or lay in the half dark but now we all really appreciate the time to start the day in a positive way. The students who are doing the sound system get to choose our meditation, theres some really cool ones about butterflies and hot air balloon trips. 
We can sit up with our legs crossed and our palms up or we can lay down in a comfotable position. We have learnt to concentrate on our breathing and develop it, breathing in our nose deeply and out our mouth. This really relaxes us. most of us really enjoy meditation ad it lets us leave things behind(especially if we have been arguing at home), quieten down and be ready for learning. 
We think we focus much better after doing meditation and most of us just get to work. At present we have been doing writing straight after this and there are some really creative stories.

  1. Kia ora Room 2,
    I was really interested to read about your meditation. More and more people are realising the importance of meditating and it is great to see you are getting the opportunity to experience this. I would like to give meditation a try too. Where are you finding the meditation music/sounds that you are using?
