When meditating, the ordinary thinking process is "transcended", replaced by a state of pure consciousness.. Ten or fifteen minutes twice a day will help them experience a significant, natural relief from stress, anxiety, depression and fatigue. Steps for Children: 1. Sit in a comfortable chair with your feet on the ground and hands in your lap. Leave your legs and arms uncrossed; 2. Close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to relax the body; 3. Open your eyes, and then close them again. Your eyes will remain closed during the 10-minute practice; 4. Repeat the TM mantra (a wordless sound) in your mind; 5. When you recognize you're having a thought, simply return to the mantra; 6. After 10 minutes, begin to move your fingers and toes to ease yourself back to the world.
