This study examines the role of meditation in students' emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and individual development.The study was conducted at Excel Public School, Kathmandu, using a qualitative, descriptive approach. The school was chosen through purposive sampling, and data were collected from stakeholders over six months through interviews, focus group discussions, and observations.According to research, meditation dramatically enhances kids' capacity to focus, manage difficult emotions, act appropriately in class, and be socially adaptive. Teachers saw increases in attention, patience, and interpersonal interactions, while students reported feeling less stressed, more self-aware, and more confident about their ability to study. Despite challenges like time constraints and administrative roadblocks, the effectiveness of mindfulness treatments is maximized through systematic, teacher-delivered sessions and continuous feedback.A mindful classroom environment generates emotional resilience, reduces acting-out, and promotes collaboration among students. Expanding meditation programs requires highly trained instructors who can modify techniques across ages and integrate mindfulness into curriculum. New developments could include technology-based tools and interdisciplinary approaches to maximize long-term impact. This study highlights the importance of sustained mindfulness programs in education; pointing to meditation's capacity for creating a supportive and engaged learning environment.
