Smiling Mind is series of modern meditation activities in a unique web and app-based format.

"Chanting, mantras, mudras, use of mandalas, induction of hypnotic states, guided imagery, and namaste greetings shall be expressly prohibited," the Alabama bill states. Meditation is not allowed. https://legiscan.com/AL/text/HB246/2021

And yet, YOGA MEDITATION is the method of choice for Dothan City Schools for Social Emotional Learning. The Smiling Mind is filled with Meditation as well as other apps recommended for Dothan City School children.

Interestingly enough, each yoga pose was designed not as an exercise but to "be an offering of worship" to Hindu gods. So while Christianity has been booted from our schools, Hindu worship has been invited in.
