Why not have some creative fun and teach the little monster creations how to use the calm breath together.

Stamp your finger print onto paint then draw one of the funky characters below. Focus your intention toward mindfully breathing while you draw 😃

Yesterday I had a wonderful opportunity and was invited to bring Mindfulness to the Royal Children's Hospital for sick children. It's the first time mindfulness has been explored for the patients but what a privilege to be part of the beginning of journeying into the heart, mind and body and exploring feelings, sensations and also teaching the children how to be aware of their environment through the senses. We explored being brave and resilient and practiced lots of different breathing techniques in a fun way. The mystery bag was a delight 😍

It was a pleasure to bring positive creative energy and most importantly an array of mindfulness resources, techniques,tools and practices for the children of the hematology ward as well as more.

Kalm Kidz will be bringing more interactive fun for the children. Learning Mindfulness is the way forward for everyone I believe to bring self awareness and help people feel more empowered and connected within

KALM KIDZ 💚

Mindfulness is not just for adults it's for children too and as they each equally need to relax and integrate mindfulness into their every day in order to center and balance their little emotions especially when feeling anxiety. Sometimes what seems little to adults may be huge for a child who is experiencing new emotions for the first time. Connecting with your child to help them achieve relaxation in a mindful way can develop trust and help communication skills improve greatly. Understanding big and small emotions can lessen the worry.

My last post I Invited you to try out the star breath. Working with this several times throughout the day in between any routines or activities will help children stay calm.

Here below is the rainbow grounding technique.
Take a see breath and identify all of these colours in the room.
Take a look around. How many items would you find?

Kalm Kidz will be coming together very soon to learn more about mindful breathing exercises, finding ways to improve resilience and learning how to be calm through Mindfulness practices.

Maybe you would like to join me with your child and help the become Kalm Kidz

Workshop date to be confirmed soon

A great big hello to all the parents and children

Here we have the star breath. Let's try to focus on our breathing for a moment and find some stillness and calm.

We can learn to relax our nervous system and get into a restful state when we take slow deep breaths

Calm parents = kalm kidz 💚

Chakras are energy vortexes. They are known to spin like a wheel when in balance allowing the energy to freely flow through to each one keeping us healthy.

When clear we feel vibrantly energised as well as uplifted, strong enough for anything that life presents for our own awareness .

When in a balanced state we can easily & positively move forward with no fear. We feel strong minded and able.
We become confident and driven as well as successful.
Our passion for life flows.
We move forward creating our best version.

As life is a journey in itself there may be obstacles that can present themselves in the form of fear blocks. These times of uncertainty can create our energy flow to slow down & become sluggish, as we over think, over analyse the hell out of things this could potentially cause fear which sends us into fight, freight, freeze or flop episodes.
The 4 F's hinder us from having the strength or will power to move forward in different areas of life and may cause you to accumulate stress.

Relaxation therapies can help your nervous system to calm down, breathing more naturally, restoring the balance and hormonising your life.

Reiki energy healing can help to shift heavy energy that then accumulates & builds causing energy blocks leaving heavy feeling & unease. Sometimes this may be an added factor for causing disease of you continue to not take care and self care... ( dis-at - ease) discomfort like something poking at you so you can shift and move this way 👉

Learning to handle life's problems, feeling capable and strong enough to cope is something each one of us must learn.
Life teaches us how to be resilient. "YES"

Mental wellness, emotional wellness and physical wellness is what we are aiming for!

With all life lessons we gain wisdom as we learn and progress forward.

LOOK BACK ONLY TO SEE HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME ON

Meditation, any form of breath work, Reiki, Reflexology, Mindfulness, Massage Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage are all relaxating ways to enhance, calm and promote better wellbeing as well as good hormone release & balance.

We can begin to feel healthier of mind body and soul. We may even decide to eat better, drink clean and begin to love ourselves more. Practicing self love habits are a beautiful way to become comfortable through life.

Allow me to help you find balance through one of my treatments I offer.
You will feel more alive, energised and ready to cope with life in a better way.
I will encourage & teach you techniques to find more balance.

Which treatment speaks to you?

Radiate and glow

Part of the work I do is helping people on an emotional level to understand what's going on for them. Also learning how to have emotional intelligence, the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. We can all benefit from learning about social awareness

Check out the Feeling Wheel to get to the core of how you truly feel. Listening within can have extremly effective results to improving how you feel

Ask yourself:

What feelings am I aware of having?

What is the most prominent? Try to describe it to yourself. Also, don’t be afraid to push yourself past answers like "fine" or "okay." Continue by asking what "fine" means. We often resist even our own probing.

When did I become aware of this feeling?

I recommend having a notebook to record your questions and answers. Don’t rush through it. Describe each feeling thoroughly, and be sure to include pleasurable ones. It’s important to know what enhances your life; these are vital in providing some measure of balance when life is difficult.

These questions will lead to others and likely take you to different places—perhaps ones you haven’t traveled before. You may surprise yourself with details or memories that haven’t been available before.

Identify your stressors.

Ask yourself:

What might be triggering this feeling?

What’s happening (or not happening) in my daily life? It helps to deconstruct one’s day, week, month. Pay particular attention to events, thoughts, or dreams that you have no control of and perhaps have decided ‘not to pay attention to’ because you cannot change them. This is a common pitfall. The fact that we have no control itself brings an emotional reaction.

Perhaps your answer is, "I don’t even know how I feel." One direction to take in that situation is to examine your behavior and daily life. This can help to tease out feelings not recognized initially. So, ask:

How is my home life?

Am I getting along with my partner? My children? My parents and siblings?

How am I doing at work? Am I enjoying my work? Am I getting along with my co-workers? My boss? What are they telling me about me and their feelings about me? Can I see validity in what they’re saying?

Look for patterns that may be forming. Explore them. What do they tell you?

Notice if you start judging what you feel.

"I don’t have any reason to feel bad, anxious, ddpressed," you may say. Wait for an outcome before assuming the worst. We tend to chastise ourselves (as if feelings follow reason!). The reality is that life events generate feelings.
Simple fact!

It is best to accept & understand everyday feelings

If the parent is broken the child will be affected.

Do you try to hide your pain from your children. You may want to look to see where it is being projected or even reflected back to you.

If you have hidden trauma or are dealing with life's problems it may be affecting you in fofferent ways. It may come out through emotional outbursts, crying or even be seen through your expressions. Children pick up even on the most subtle of things by observing their parents. They learn from the behaviours of their caregivers and those within their environment. They are like sponges obsorbing the all.

When adults tune in to themselves and face their own demons/ pain take care to be aware and tend to what's within them they begin to change. By using different tools and being mindful you can change how your children grow and learn from you.

Many adults now are suffering from pain passed down from the generations past.

Change you and change the inner world for your children also.

Inner pain will always be reflected outside of you. Stay calm, observe and have awareness

Taking better care, having self worth and self love for many is long overdue 💗
