De: Ernie Christie

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

This book opens up new approaches to the religious and spiritual education of children growing up in our troubled 21st century. Where modern-day culture leaves children overdependent on external stimuli, restless and confused, Ernie Christie shows how meditation can help children find balance and a sense of their own personal wholeness. Based on the professional experience of the Catholic Education Office of the Diocese of Townsville, Australia, this book presents the results of an extended pilot project in a school system. The great discovery in this programme of teaching Christian Meditation to children from age 5 to age 17 is that children can meditate and that they like to meditate. Ernie Christie describes clearly the tradition of meditation taught by the late Benedictine monk John Main OSB and practised by The World Community for Christian Meditation. His practical and detailed guidelines for introducing meditation to children in the classroom and in daily life will inspire and encourage anyone serious about helping children to grow to their full potential. If the future of the world lies in our children, this book has a message that cannot be forgotten.
