Inner Harmony Approach
to Integral Education
Our nation's children are in a state of crisis. Sensing
the instability of the world around them, they are crying out
for help to successfully navigate the maze of life. They are continually
bombarded by external stimulation and chaotic situations, through
violence, peer pressure, disrespect, and dysfunction. While the
enormity of this situation is deeply troubling, hope has emerged
through a new program that inspires children to cultivate a sense
of inner peace, confidence, and security that is not dependent
on people, places, or situations.
The Inner Harmony Approach program empowers children to remain
centered in the midst of conflict. Through the practice of relaxation
and reflection, in and out of the school environment, the program
enables a child's authentic self to truly thrive, and not be influenced
by the stigmas of personalities and labels. By cultivating a daily
practice of mindful breathing, children begin to feel how powerful
it is to bring their attention and awareness to the rhythm of
their own breath. Remarkably, students and teachers alike are
then able to call upon the memory of wholeness instilled by these
techniques in any moment of stress or imbalance.
Based on an innovative curriculum pioneered by mindfulness authority
Peter Amato, the Inner Harmony Approach:
1) releases stress and tension;
2) increases ability to focus;
3) controls impulses;
4) maximizes enjoyment of learning; and
5) reduces aggression.
The Inner Harmony Wellness Center received a federal grant to
pilot these workshops in a Scranton, Pennsylvania elementary school.
Inner Harmony Style emerged as the program, which is soon expected
to expand to other schools in the district.
