Today we had a very special visitor - Sister Rachel. Sister Rachel is a Sister of Compassion and she lives in Wellington. She is at St Marys this week to teach us about meditation. We had our first session today. First, Sister Rachel told us the 4 S's = silence, stillness, straight back, say Maranatha. We sat with our backs straight, our hands open and our eyes closed. We said Maranatha in our heads - we breathe in for Ma-ra and out when we say na-tha. Maranatha means 'Come Lord Jesus'. We meditated for 5 minutes. We were fabulous (for the first 3 minutes) and Mrs T, Whaea Glenda and Sister Rachel were impressed. We are practicing our meditation with Sister Rachel again tomorrow and Thursday.
(The fact we have a few photos might tell you that Mrs T is one of the K3 people that needs to practice being still for 5 minutes. Parent Challenge - can you sit still for 5 minutes?)
