The following is from the "Still Quiet Place" web site:
Children: The ‘Still Quiet Place’ is a special place inside of you that you can visit anytime. It is especially helpful to visit if you are feeling angry, sad, afraid, or upset. Let’s go there now. . . . First, take a slow deep breath. Now, close your eyes, take another slow deep breath, and feel a warm easy smile in your body…. Do you feel it? Good. This is your Still Quiet Place. Take some more easy breaths and really snuggle in….
Adults: Mindfulness is a process of developing moment to moment awareness which has been proven to reduce stress. Research indicates that reducing children’s stress enhances their physical health, social relations, academic abilities, and most importantly their sense of well-being.
What is "The Still Quiet Place"?
The Still Quiet Place is a place of peace and happiness that is alive inside of each person. You can find it just by closing your eyes and breathing.
The Still Quiet Place is a comforting place to visit, especially if you are having a bad day – feeling angry, sad, scared, or lonely. As you learn to meet your thoughts and feelings in the Still Quiet Place, you may discover that they are not as powerful as they seem.
Children, teens and adults who visit the Still Quiet Place frequently find life is more enjoyable. They are kinder to themselves, and calmer and more creative when they are having difficulties with friends, family, school, sports and other activities.
Our children are suffering, in large part because our society values doing over being, and product over process. Our culture tends to put test scores, wealth, and status before joy, connection, and well-being. Scientific research and the media tell us that young people’s lives are increasingly stressful. For some, the stress is simply living in our fast-paced, media-saturated Western world. For others, the stress comes from being pushed to perform, “succeed,” and get into a “good” college. For still others, the stress involves surviving in extremely challenging, even traumatic, home environments and life circumstances.
Regardless of race, education, or socioeconomic status, an alarming number of children and adolescents are being diagnosed with ADHD, depression, anxiety, obesity, eating disorders, and addictions, and engaging in cutting and other self-destructive behaviors, including suicide.  Cruelty, bullying, and violence are on the rise. No one is immune.
Let’s do what we can now to immunize our youth against the stresses of modern life and the related diagnoses. Let’s provide them with mindfulness skills proven to be of benefit throughout their lives. There is absolutely no reason they should wait until they are forty-five, and have lost a job, had a heart attack, or are in the midst of a divorce to learn practices that will support and sustain them.
