You remember the teachers who affected you the most, not what they said, but “the way they were” with you, with the subject matter, with their knowledge. Being in the moment brings an awareness and presence to doing that you can effect on those around you.

Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, is perhaps the nation’s leading pioneer in exploring the connection between personal well-being and mindfulness meditation. He is the author of several books on the subject, including Coming to Our Senses.

The new field of teaching mindfulness in our nation’s schools is a profoundly beneficial development for the education of children from grades K through 12. Research shows that mindfulness decreases stress, attention deficit issues, depression, anxiety, and hostility in children, while benefiting their health, well-being, social relations, and academic performance. Children can easily learn these techniques, and when learned young, they become lifelong tools.
