Improving focus & motivation

Capturing & captivating the attention of a class is difficult, especially in today’s digital age. For teachers who are passionate about their students’ success, this can be immensely frustrating. However, by leading a guided meditation, teachers can grab the attention of their class & focus it on a specific task or question. Additionally, meditation can enable your students to gain access to the higher cognitive functions they need to meaningfully participate in classroom discussion.

Memory

Enhancing deep learning & memory

The plethora of digital distractions afforded to the modern student makes learning & retaining information much more difficult. For teachers, guided mindfulness meditations can drastically improve your students’ ability to form memories & integrate classroom information into true knowledge. Having your students shift into a meditative state & contemplate deeply on certain subjects, questions or assignments increases receptiveness to information & develops deep thinking capabilities necessary to learn effectively during class.
