Meditation: Many years ago at a school parents evening we parents were invited to
attend a session of meditation hosted by the religious studies teacher. Somewhat
sceptically I took part but was amazed to led into a short period of deep relaxation
that I have never forgotten. A topic I know next to nothing about other than it seems to
form a significant component of many reflective philosophies and and as a technique for
stress reduction and relaxation. Maybe we could explore various techniques and share our
researches (or experiences). We could even try a short session. If the group was up for
it I would plan an evening around some gently structured pre-reading and research and
perhaps consult with someone who knows something about the topic.
