Mindfulness Programme

Our Mindfulness Programme offers students a holistic education.

Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive, present and at one with those around you, and with what you are doing. We bring our bodies and minds into harmony while we go about our daily chores. Here at Global Sevilla School, we do very much the same thing as when we are at home - walking, sitting, studying, listening, eating, etc. - except now we learn to do them with mindfulness, with an awareness that we are doing it. We practise mindfulness throughout every moment of the day. Practising together as a school community, mindfulness becomes joyful and meaningful. We are bells of mindfulness, supporting and reminding one another along the path of practice. We practise mindfulness to cultivate peace and joy within and around us, as a gift for all of those whom we love and care for. Through the practise our mindfulness, we grow in our solidity and freedom – solid in our deepest aspiration and free from our fears, misunderstandings and our suffering.

How is mindfulness beneficial to our children?

Regular practice of mindfulness can alter the structure of the brain to help adults and children to learn more effectively. Furthermore, mindfulness promotes an attitude of kindness and open curiosity, teaching children and adults alike to feel compassion and empathy for others. It also provides an opportunity for children to just ‘be’, a moment out of their busy lives to enable them to think and reflect.

Mindfulness:

Strengthens resilience and decision making abilities
Builds good character that leads to academic success
Develops positive social skills, such as giving, compassion and self-control
Instils joy and optimism in classroom learning
Creates peer-to-peer harmony

Recent data and research confirms the positive effects of incorporating mindfulness into education. Mindfulness helps improve memory, organisational skills, reading and math scores, provides children with the tools they need to handle stress as well as to remain calm and resilient through testing periods.

Our Mindfulness Programme

We integrate our mindfulness programme into our curriculum from kindergarten until high school. Our days start with a silent moment to help the students relax and be completely aware of the present moment.

Students also participate in mindful eating during their break time, which helps to develop their sense of gratitude. Once a week, students also have a mindful sitting session where they practise focusing on their breathing.

This programme encourages our children to slow down and be truly alive, present and at one with those around them.

The simple act of breathing can help with focus and enable them to complete the task at hand.
