Time to Breath
“Time to Breathe” is a film about an Anapana meditation course for schoolchildren at the Dhamma Dipa meditation centre in Herefordshire, England.
Presented by the meditation teacher, who is himself a local school teacher, the film offers an informative insight into the course and the theory behind the Anapana practice.
The participating children, aged 8-12, talk in their own words about the benefits they have experienced from meditating and the fun they had during their stay at the centre. Parents and teachers also report on the visible changes they have seen in the children, both at home and at school.
‘Time to Breathe’ is an enjoyable introduction to courses for children and young people for anyone interested in organising a course themselves or sending their own children or pupils to a course.
