BANDUNG, SERVIAMNEWS.com- Since middle 2017, St. Angela Elementary School has a Christian Meditation Program for all students and teachers. Every morning, we do meditation to start the day. One teacher leads the meditation from central announcements. Teachers and students do meditation in their class, sometimes in the schoolyard. Before meditation, the teacher ask children to do stretching and become conscious about their body, mind, and everything in surround. After that, they begin meditation with short prayer, “Lord, thank you”. The meditation about 10 minutes, and then they continue with a daily prayer that is led by one student.

The meditation is not an instant program, so, the benefits from this program may not come quickly like the other program like Art, sport, language, etc. But we believe that this program has benefit for children and the teachers. Just for an example, a few benefits we get from this program are children know how to take a short time to a deep breath to become calm if they feel angry, and they can do this easier than before. They feel more confident when faced the trouble or exam after meditation. They know how to do self-control.
