“The conscious individual will be able to initiate changes through choice, will, continuity and with practice.”
To be truly conscious, one needs to connect
to the inner-self with love and kindness. Just imagine the detrimental, warping
effects of judging oneself harshly all the time. Loving-kindness practice from
a young age equips your loved ones with the tools to discover their true nature
and reclaim an inner sense of space.
Designed for ages between 7 and 12, each session covers practical means of self–mastery through the understanding of attention, awareness, emotions, beliefs and thoughts. Participants explore different states of awareness through fun and interactive activities.
Loving-kindness practice is the central pillar of the program. Participants will learn about love and kindness and practise them to gain meaningful connections with the inner-self and external surroundings. This program will also incorporate gratitude for a more rounded development of personality.

FAQs
Q. What is the Conscious Kid Program about?
A. It is a program designed to equip children with (inner) tools to help them navigate the (external) challenges they might face in life. Fundamentally, it is based on loving-kindness practice to anchor a sense of inner peace regardless of what a child may face.
Q. Does it mean my child will always be calm and never feel unhappy?
A. No. It is expected to feel sad with loss and angry when a boundary is crossed and we certainly want to feel all of these. The practice is to be fully aware — and comfortable with (any) emotion. Crying and feeling angry is not the concern. It is what a child may do with the energies that arise with these emotions that can be constructive or destructive. With practice, a child can differentiate their emotions from their actions, and discern an expression from a rash behaviour.
Q. I am not sure if my child would like the program as she likes to move around.
A. The sessions comprise interactive and fun activities to engage the children. For instance, children may move due to restlessness or when they feel anxious or bored. The lessons allow children to explore different states of awareness and find their restfulness and balance through these activities that they can also apply in their daily life.
