Meditation Can Help Improve Your Child’s School Performance

March 25, 2011 0

Transcendental Meditation can have a profound impact on many facets of our lives and a new study shows that it can also improve children’s academic performance. The study conducted at a California public middle school on 189 students showed that 41 percent of the meditating students gained at least one level in math performance. Students with the lowest levels of academic performance showed a significant improvement in overall academic achievement.  If Transcendental Meditation can improve middle school students’ academic performance then why not try meditation with younger children? Plus, there’s a chance you may find it’s beneficial to other areas of your child’s lifestyle. Speaking from personal experience I can tell you that Transcendental Meditation has affected Eben’s life. I recently wrote about ways to implement meditation into your child’s lifestyle at Inhabitots. You can add it to your own lifestyle too!

I was going through my pictures from our last days in Fort Collins, Colorado and came across pictures from my trip to The Living Space. It’s a lovely little shop in Old Town, full of many eco-friendly home decor items, including this sweet Recycled Rover. (first picture) It opened a few days before our big move and I had to stop in and check it out before we left. If you live in Fort Collins or will be in town, you should definitely stop by and take a peek.
