Stage Three — Learning Plan

Before Class Begins: Teacher Meditation

As course instructor, you meditate during the five to ten minutes before class begins because the most important thing in being with and teaching children is one’s state of mind. Your presence is the greatest gift you can offer your students. When you are solid, happy, and full of love and compassion, you will naturally know how to create a happy classroom environment and how to water the positive qualities in your students. If you are not at peace, you cannot impart that energy to your class. Each lesson is preceded by a teacher meditation accompanied by a gatha poem. Read each line to yourself as you breathe in and out.
