Calm Collective is a group of meditators that run meditation sessions for students at school. We hold one sitting each week Taraika: Tuesday lunchtime – 1.50pm. During each session we exercise and strengthen your brain in a way that helps you to direct focus and hold yourself in the present moment. We do this with simple breath awareness and body awareness. There is no chanting or mantras - just sitting and being aware of the present moment. The meditations focus on an awareness of the breath (because it is a constant in our life, it’s always there) and sensory awareness, so it is very simple. With regular practice you can: improve your attention span and ability to focus, be more accepting of yourself, increase your compassion and empathy for others, better manage emotional fluctuations even learn to sleep better. The intention with this is that these skills will support you as a learner and as life skills as a person. A number of you will have meditated previously at school/s or through apps. Calm Collective is a way to connect with others who meditate and strengthen your mental wellbeing. Strengthen your practice with us or just come along and give meditation a go. Feel free to bring a friend too. Taraika Tuesday lunchtime. Contact gna@whs.school.nz
