Elementary School Students Find Calmness with Meditation

Baltimore's Robert W. Coleman Elementary School has had great success with implementing meditation techniques and a mindful room which has led to students feeling better in and outside of school.


As reported by Uproxx, the Mindful Moment Room was introduced as a space for students to calm themselves and recenter before heading back to class. Students who visit the Mindful Moment Room — which was created through a partnership with the Holistic Life Foundation — are taught breathing exercises and meditation to reduce anxiety, headaches, stomach problems, and stress. Meditation is also used as a form of intervention when disciplinary action is typically needed – and since its induction, Robert W. Coleman Elementary hasn't issued a single suspension.
