ESMS - a fabulous school on E91
Visited East Side Middle School for the third time, my third and last visit in which I tried to teach more than thirty teachers how to teach Sahaja Meditation to their students. I’ll be fascinated to see the outcome.
I mentioned to David Getz, the principal, that I’m involved with developing a mental resilience course within HealthCorps. His jaw dropped because he’s working on the same concept right now.
There’s surprisingly little on mental resilience and how to develop it - indeed, can it be taught? Certainly, there are steps that can be taught that in theory would inculcate it - but is the reality that it does?
The teachers meditated well - I played Thomas Tallis and one teacher mentioned something that my wife would hug him for. He said that when the music was flowing, it facilitated his meditation, but there were moments of tension in the music when he actually stopped meditating - a terrific point, and the end of Tallis from Alan’s meditation music repertoire.
I’ve never been asked such a high level of questions by any group and also tremendous insights too.
