Meditation is a practice that is aimed at achieving mental and emotional control. It comprises different practices across many religions and cultures and has been embraced in Western countries for therapeutic purposes.
The Managing Stress With Meditation Handout provides 6 meditation tips for clients who need an alternative method for dealing with stress in a healthy way. It starts with research studies behind the practice, explaining how it helps, and proceeds with a reminder about consistency for the best results.
Incorporating meditation into a child’s routine can lead to many benefits, such as improved psychological functioning, a reduction in trauma-related symptoms, and lower blood pressure. To encourage meditation, you can set up a calm space in your home for your child — it could be a quiet corner with a mat and other calming elements.
