From the article:
I was not aware its part of education, interesting. Lets say I understand mind and consciousness being neutral. But voting and relationships? How to approach those without lets say ideology?
Students are taught the technique as part of personal, social and health education. This subject is timetabled for all students and in these classes we teach all sorts of life skills, from voting to relationships. It is presented as one possible way to move towards better mental health and we are very careful to keep the practice secular. For example, we talk about the mind and consciousness, but never the spirit or soul. This distinction has meant that even those with a fixed faith do not feel their beliefs are threatened or challenged. We also offer courses for parents and send letters home before students start the course.
