At the teen level we can ensure the young people know the difference between meditation and relaxation.

In meditation, you are more alert although you should be relaxed and you are using techniques to alter your state of mind. It can help us to think in different ways. In relaxation, you want to become less aware of your surroundings and focus inwards, allowing your mind to rest.

Both should be covered in class, as using both meditation and relaxation together gives the most benefit.
