What is it about?
This paper explains why we need to think of everything that goes on in our minds and bodies as part of a curriculum. It's there all the time throughout the day, but our public curriculum never seems to care much for it - despite evidence that shows that this internal curriculum has a substantial effect on our sense of well being, identity and behvior.

Why is it important?
Thoughts are there all the time throughout the day, but our public curriculum never seems to care much about them if they do not correspond with math, geography, literatur, history etc., Scientific evidence, however shows that this internal curriculum has a substantial effect on our sense of well being, identity and behvior.
Perspectives
This paper is part of a broarder perspective I bring to the understanding of education. It all has to do with understanding our minds and bodies as an intergral part of curriculum and pedagogy. This clearly point to contemplative practices such as mindfulness that I explore in various other publications.
