--- title: "A Consciousness-based Health Education Programme (CbHE)" url: "https://maharishischool.com/cbids-principles/cbids-approach" school: "Maharishi School" --- # A Consciousness-based Health Education Programme (CbHE) ## Consciousness-based Health Education (CbHE) At Maharishi School, **Consciousness-Based Health Education (CbHE)** plays a key role in supporting the wider goals of **Consciousness-Based Education (CbE)**. By focusing on balance in mind, body, and behaviour, CbHE helps pupils develop the resilience, energy, and well-being needed to thrive in both their studies and personal lives. ### A Holistic Approach to Health CbHE is more than just traditional health education. It **provides practical tools and knowledge** to help pupils maintain physical and mental well-being throughout their lives. This includes: - **Self-Pulse Reading** – A simple technique for understanding the body’s natural rhythms and signals. - **Yoga Breathing Techniques** – Exercises to restore balance and calm the mind. - **Yoga Postures & Dynamic Exercise** – Developing flexibility, strength, and overall fitness. - **Healthy Eating Guidance** – Practical knowledge on nutrition and its impact on energy and mood. - **Daily and Seasonal Routines** – Understanding how lifestyle choices affect well-being throughout the year. - **The Impact of the Physical Environment** – Exploring how surroundings influence mental and physical health. By integrating these elements into daily life, pupils develop **self-awareness, resilience, and a deeper connection between body and mind**. ### Health Education in the Context of CbE At Maharishi School, **health is not just an add-on**—it is woven into the entire educational experience. CbHE, in combination with **Transcendental Meditation (TM)**, aims to promote: - **A balanced state of mind and body** – Naturally healthy, **calm yet alert**, and ready to engage in learning. - **A happy, stress-free school environment** – One that is **coherent, nurturing, and academically stimulating**. - **A physical environment that supports well-being –** Creating **spaces that uplift, energise, and inspire.** By focusing on **both individual and collective well-being**, CbHE ensures that pupils and staff feel **physically healthy, mentally clear, and emotionally balanced**. This approach **not only enhances academic performance but also fosters long-term health, happiness, and success** in life beyond school. ### Why We Are Unique - [Our School](https://maharishischool.com/why-we-are-unique/our-school) - [What is CbE](https://maharishischool.com/why-we-are-unique/what-is-cbe) - [Consciousness-based Education](https://maharishischool.com/cbids-principles) - [Transcendental Meditation and Word of Wisdom](https://maharishischool.com/cbids-principles/transcendental-meditation-and-word-of-wisdom) - [Consciousness-based Interdisciplinary Studies (CbIDS) ](https://maharishischool.com/cbids-principles/consciousness-based-interdisciplinary-studies-cbids) - [The CbE Principles of Teaching and the Fundamentals of Education](https://maharishischool.com/cbids-principles/the-cbe-principles-of-teaching-and-the-fundamentals-of-education) - [A Consciousness-based Health Education Programme (CbHE)](https://maharishischool.com/cbids-principles/cbids-approach) - [Alumni](https://maharishischool.com/why-we-are-unique/alumni) ![Maharishi School](https://files.schudio.com/maharishi-school-2/images/logo/Maharishi-logo-icon.png) ### Maharishi School Primary Phase Building Address: Davies Building, Cobbs Brow Lane, Lathom, Near Ormskirk, L40 6JJ. 01695 729912 ### Maharishi School - [Secondary Phase Building Address: Morris Birnbaum Building, Woodley Park Road, Skelmersdale, WN8 6UQ.](https://maharishischool.com/contact) ### Useful Links: - [Primary Phase](https://maharishischool.com/your-school/primary) - [Secondary Phase](https://maharishischool.com/your-school/secondary) - [Alumni](https://maharishischool.com/why-we-are-unique/alumni) - [Out of Hours: 07907147278](tel:07907147278) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/maharishifreeschool) - [X](https://twitter.com/MaharishiSchool) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/maharishischool1972/) © Copyright 2025–2026 Maharishi School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://maharishischool.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
