The Youth Speak

Jessica, age 17 - San Mateo Hillcrest Juvenile Hall

I feel a lot more calm about the things going on in my life causing me stress. I almost forget them…. (I can use what I learn in this class) by just breathing and keeping calm and noticing how I feel when I get mad and concentrate on that instead of focusing on what’s making me mad.

MEDITATE, by Jessica

Tingling sensations run through my body
As I sit with my hands resting on my thighs.
Breathing softly in and out, while
not opening my eyes.
My mind escapes the present and takes
a journey to another place,
I center myself, bring myself
back to the breath and meditate.

"If it wasn't for the meditation I learned, I'd probably be flashing on people and crying all the time."

Anisha, 17
