GUIDED MEDITATION FOR CHILDREN STARTING THIS SATURDAY !

Following the very successful course run by Mary Ann Perasso last year, Louise Gulley, Mary Ann’s protégé, will be starting a new 5 week course from this Saturday…

In a world where our children spend more and more time hooked up to computer games and iPods there is precious little importance given to discovering the small still voice within…. 

This 5 session course of Meditation for Children designed to introduce basic meditation techniques to young people 8 years old and above in an engaging and realistic approach that will give them the necessary tools for tuning into the inner self.

We will focus on the importance of the breath, posture and calming the mind and body, but will also incorporate movement and discussion about compassion, the power of thoughts, increasing self-confidence, and other topics relevant to the children themselves.

It is hoped that by the end of the course, the participants will be able to notice when they are emotionally out of balance and be able to use techniques from the course to bring themselves back to a peaceful and centred state.

OUR FIRST SESSION IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS SATURDAY (15^th January 2011) between 4.00 pm and 5.00 pm at the Kikodo Centre, Sevenoaks!

The first session is on a pay-as-you-go basis so that kids can try it out before signing up for the whole course.  It is really important that every child in the course genuinely wants to be there, so if your child decides not to continue, please respect their wishes.  Thank you.

TO BOOK YOUR PLACE, PLEASE, contact Louise on 07590 675216 or send an email to louise.gulley@hotmail.co.uk

We hope you will enjoy this very exciting initiative!

GUIDED MEDITATION FOR CHILDREN

In a fast moving world where children may struggle to find a secure footing, and a ground within themselves, these meditation sessions will offer a space to support this invaluable process. A space where expectations, goals, stresses can be let go off and the simple gesture of surrendering to the knowing flow of life can be found.

Louise intend to turn the Kikodo Centre into a place for your children to breathe and explore growth without any limitations, and to express yourself freely without judgment!

There is an overwhelming amount of language, lots of ideas and expectations, that tie knots round children and prevent them from feeling their vastness. We grow high and wide when we don’t limit ourselves.

Sessions will include:

Guided meditations including basic and simple meditation techniques .

Gentle movement that is fun and allows the children to express and support their inner self and its processes.

Simple deep breathing exercises that are centering and grounding.

Exercises that allow the children to feel the auric space, so they can follow their energy, heart, voice, truth!

Every class will be have a simple theme, such as: loving yourself, choice and the power of thoughts. This will be attuned to the particular energy and needs of the class.

The first session will cost is £6 to allow your child to decide whether she/he want to participate…
The 5 weeks course will cost £30 – Booking form will be available at the end of session 1.
