Meditation, mindfulness and worldviews

This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers in delivering a unit that explores big questions such as How and why are we here? and How can worldviews be expressed? It introduces the concepts of spirituality, soul, and inner self through a range of religious and non-religious perspectives, including Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, and Humanist beliefs. The video explains the role of Buddhist meditation and distinguishes it from mindfulness, helping children understand these practices as expressions of personal belief, identity, and worldview.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – human. It provides guidance on inclusive teaching, addressing common misconceptions, and using frameworks such as stop, notice, connect to explore spirituality. The video encourages creative responses and respectful dialogue, helping children reflect on their own experiences and those of others. Teachers are supported in preparing for sensitive topics and in facilitating thoughtful, balanced classroom discussions that promote personal and conceptual understanding.
