The Quiet Within

An Education Officer from a prison in north Israel shares:

“Meditation groups teach the prisoner a language that helps him develop awareness and explore many subjects that come up in his life and preoccupy him.

A prisoner who chooses meditation as a way of life, and who practices, can receive great benefit, and it will obviously effect the way he deals with his incarceration and help with his rehabilitation.

Prisoners have told us that meditation is the only “sport” that helps them feel comfortable in their body, and is a key to self-understanding and to understanding the world around them. They say that thanks to meditation they have achieved peace, inner serenity, and concentration”.
