Healing Meditation Sessions for Students in School

About Project

We are offering schools in Harrow a FREE course of three guided Healing Meditation sessions for children (in year 6+) to help with anxiety, stress and support their overall wellbeing.

65% of young people in Harrow say they sometimes or often feel anxious or depressed, according to the HAY Harrow report which surveyed 6,000+ young people in 2021. We are passionate about helping young people learn the skills to help them manage their emotions and create a positive attitude.

The offer:

• Three sessions delivered by fully qualified, DBS checked and experienced professionals.
• The offer is for children in their last year of primary school, or secondary age students.
• Our Healing Meditation teaches children and young people life-long skills to regulate their emotions, manage stress and anxiety and improve their focus.
• Our sessions focus on an 'I can' attitude and self confidence.
• We are a registered charity, currently fundraising to be able to offer a longer package of sessions to schools.

How it works:

• A short explanatory talk or age-appropriate activity is followed by a 30-minute meditation, and then a feedback session afterwards. Actual timings can be adjusted to fit into the school timetable, but some of the schools we have worked with have included it in their PSHCE sessions, around exam times, and in special assemblies.
• Teachers are encouraged to remain during the class and also experience the calm, but it is not essential, as long as they are present to hand over at the beginning and end

Feedback from students:

• “I feel less weighed down by the negative things around me. I feel less impacted by my own mood. I was able to go to school every day and do my work and concentrate with a renewed energy.”

• “I felt very refreshed and more aligned with myself. I felt more assured and confident with my actions and ready to take on the day.”

• “I felt fidgety when we started but halfway through I started to feel very calm.”
