The details of this discussion include the practice of pebble meditation adapted for children and adults, requiring four pebbles symbolizing freshness, stability, calm, and freedom. Each pebble is associated with a specific meditation: freshness like a flower, stability like a mountain, calm like still water, and freedom like infinite space. Mindfulness and conscious breathing are essential to deeply touch reality, understand, and love. Cultivating these qualities brings happiness and healing, allowing us to fully live each moment. The practice of mindfulness helps to touch life deeply and live in the present moment, offering peace, compassion, and true happiness.
