|  One-day
courses in meditation are held regularly for children and
teenagers in Perth. Children’s courses are held for primary
school students aged from 8 to 12 years and teenagers' courses
are held for high school students aged from 12 to 16 years.
During the courses the students
learn Anapana meditation, which involves focusing on their
own natural breath. The aim is to enable them to practise
after the course for about ten minutes twice a day. This daily
practice has been found to bring many benefits, including:
- helping them to cope better with stress,
anxiety, worry and nervousness;
- improving their concentration and memory;
and
- increasing their awareness and alertness
of mind.
 As they learn to calm and concentrate their minds,
they also learn to gain mastery over their impulses and actions.
Scheduled courses are listed
in the course schedule.
Courses can also be arranged by parents or teachers at other
times for groups of 8 or more – either in school term or in
the holidays.
