Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet Fr Laurence Freeman OSB, who stopped by Singapore while on his way to Australia. He had come to share about Christian meditation with children. He also briefly touched on the growing number of Christians picking up this form of prayer and cleared the misconception that meditation is for Buddhists.

The workshop was attended by parents, school teachers and catechists from all over the country.

From the five hour long workshop, I gathered that:
1) Since children are spiritual beings, they can meditate like adults too! Do not underestimate what they can do.
2) In fact, they do it better than adults because they are very open and unconditional beings.
3) It helps them learn to control their egos at a young age.
