The Excellence in Action page of Global Good News is featuring this article with colourful photos.
Please click on the following link to read more about 'The Transcendental Meditation Programme in a California public middle school'. The article features a short film about the introduction of the Transcendental Meditation Programme in a public school in the western United States. The school is located in a high-stress, violent environment. Administrators were looking for something that would help both staff and students, and chose the programme in part because it was reputed to help with burnout and stress-related health problems.
The article includes many quotes from teachers and students about the good effects they've found since beginning twice-daily Transcendental Meditation practice.
A teacher's assistant said, 'I think what happens is that when there's less stressors in the air or when people feel less stressed, [that] pervades the whole place. The adults feel differently. The stresses are gone so we all feel differently; we act differently, the kids are acting differently.' An 11-year old sixth grade student comments that the school used to be very loud. 'Now it's all mellow and calm. It's how a high school's supposed to be.'
The school's Social Studies teacher had been planning to retire. 'I felt overstressed,' he says, 'but ever since [learning Transcendental Meditation], the group of eighth grade teachers, we come together and we do meditation during our break period, seventh period, and it's such a relaxing thing. I actually look forward to it. . . . My students also comment 'What's going on with you? Why are you so happy today?' I'm not moody anymore.'
