Question: What are the specifics of teaching children by your system?

Answer: We have published a number of works concerning spiritual work with children. They are collected in the book Spiritual Work with Children.

General specifics are the following:

Children and teenagers are taught simplified program, according to their age. They may not be taught the “adult” program in full volume. The program is given to children and teenagers over a longer period and in a playful manner, up to exercises of “looking” from anahata.

The goal of this type of work is to introduce to children the ideas of their possibilities in life. In other words, they should be familiarized with diverse trends in the art, sports, religion, they should be provided with basic knowledge of ecology and ethics; it is also important to give them a chance to try their hand at everything.

Children and teenagers should not be required to necessarily demonstrate great progress, like adults. They just should be given the information and when the time comes, they will go into what they choose themselves.

New elements should be constantly introduced into classes, otherwise they become boring and the group will fall apart. The work with children must not contain meditative techniques connected with dis-identification of the consciousness with the material plane. Children may “get lost” in the multidimensional space, which may result in mental disorders. The same goes for the adults who are intellectually and ethically immature.
