Children’s MITRA Course
MITRA is an initiative to facilitate wholesome mental growth of school children. MITRA undertakes to inculcate Right Awareness in school children and school teachers. MITRA, which stands for MIND IN TRAINING for RIGHT AWARENESS also means FRIEND in Pali language.
The participants learn to observe the incoming breath and outgoing breath by focusing their attention at the entrance of their nostrils. They simply observe their natural breath without trying to change or correct the flow of the breath. In this way, they experience the beginning steps of self-awareness. This technique being observation based and scientific, without any imaginations or evaluations, leads to Right Awareness and hence Right Concentration. This technique is known as Anapana, where ‘Ana’ means incoming and ’Apana’ means out going breath.
