Thank you PIP. I have just been researching the benefits of meditation for children for a paper for a class I am taking. I can directly relate to this video from my personal experiences with meditation and the effects it has had on my family. Now I am passionate about finding ways to incorporate this into my home and helping other families do that too. Love your KZread station!

We are glad to hear it! Thank you so much for sharing.

It is hard for parents to communicate with their teenagers under the best of circumstances, but we applaud you for keeping up the effort. It must not be easy, but the best thing to do when a trust has been broken is to not try and tell her or explain to her what you're doing. Lead by example and show rather than verbally express how you've been changing. That way she can see it for herself and it will be much easier to have a dialogue. Thank you for sharing with us.

As many have already expressed, the natural tendency of children is to be busy, active, and excitable. What soothes them into a state of meditation? Reading and soft music. So when my children were very little, we ended our day with a book, a song, and a prayer. It became a daily ritual for my children, as young as three years old. Now that they're older, they still wind down in this way: practice their instruments, read, pray/meditate.

Try doing it for a short time as Kelly S above says. Then you can build your way up. Try to clear your mind, but don't try to force yourself to think of anything in particular. Also please check out our series "The Meditator" that can be found on the homepage. There are some great guided meditations that are short and simple for beginners such as yourself! And it's awesome that you're trying so young and aren't giving up even if you weren't completely into it the first time. It takes practice!

thank you so much for this series. it really helps!

Great video!!! Thanks. Mallika, you look pretty with your hair down..

Meditation and gratitude is just the start of spirituality - the rest is a journey for themselves.

Gracias muy completo y es muy importantante que nuestros hijos mediten muchas gracias

That's amazing! It's a great way to bond and wind down with your child. How do you get a child that young to focus on the meditation?

Thank you! We're glad you liked it. Make sure you tune into our last episode which premieres tomorrow (4/25)!

Okay,that's a valid observation.

I started daily meditation since I went into treatment for addiction 15 months ago. I do a lot of gratitude, breathing, and intention meditation. I alternate. I have a 17 year old daughter who is very angry at me. I try to show her I am present now. I try to show her the benefits of meditation, but she just balks at it. I tell her I am spiritual no religious. It is hard to get past her hurt or get her to talk even. I see a lot of anxiety in her, and she is not open to any help that is offered.

Each household is different, but how do we provide our children with a strong spiritual center? Deepak Chopra - “the guy who wrote the book on spirituality” according to host Dani Modisett - guest stars on this episode of

perfect!!!

I reared my children by ringing them to church and saying their prayers with them,as they turned they objected to going to church.IT was a row and I felt it just was defeating the purpose.so mow I say a few basic prayers in the car,when taking them to school.sometimes .One child tell him about what he said to god last night,The ealdest one just does not want to know.so that is fine,too,as they will both find their own path.The seeds have been sown.!

Thank you so much for watching!

Me gustaría tener subtítulos en español o traducción, gracias

Could you repeat what was the full form of STOP.. I cant hear it very clear. Gratitude

Lollypop199ification Just start with a minute or two at first and work upwards. It is the habit and the practice which will gradually take hold as something positive in your life. Also, when you notice thoughts intruding, treat them like a cloud floating by and recenter on your breath. That works great, give it a try!!

BLUE DRAGONS TRUTH Push the demons off our planet With me Nows the time huge earthquakes coming History has never seen very soon Twenty years ago I opened the door 🚪 To the other side This is something None of you should ever do You see when you open it up The light comes through as does the darkness Don’t let people entice you or allure This will not save you Or make your life better THATS AN ILLUSION It would actually get twice as hard Sometimes 10 time’s harder This opening is called Pandora’s box. You will all develop on your own By being aware Every day wake up For three months And this should be easy And some will try And some of you already do it Wake up wake up wake up In the morning and live your Life as if you are being tested Start right away Why not Watch everything you do all day And then you know yourself .

Very nice to watch. But... it was all about meditation. Is spirituality just about meditation Mallika? Excuse the polite criticism.

Does one need to bring in some imaginary God from some kind of heaven in order to make spirituality complete?Just curious!
