Meditation with Children

This small book by Laurence Freeman and associates introduces the teaching on meditation to children, whom they have found can be naturally present in the moment and thus capable of the prayer of the heart. In our extroverted society, this kind of practice can enable the recovery of spiritual balance, in this case within the Christian tradition and in the context of a community. It provides a way of growing our humanity and learning to be as well as to do. It has the great advantage of simplicity and can be practised anywhere. A valuable reminder of the importance of meditation and its potential for engendering inner transformation.
