FEELINGS / GRATITUDE /KINDNESS SHARE

I use this glowing heart for the children to pass it around in a circle and each child holding the glowing heart expresses their honest thoughts and feelings .Sometimes I even use it to share their act of kindness someone done to them or they have done to others .This can even be used to remember something that took place or something that they noticed for which he or she is grateful for .

1} Sit on the shin with the back straight and chest lifted.
2}Tuck in the chin and breathe in for 3 quick ,short inhales { sniffs} through the nostrils.
3}Make a long exhale through the nose
Repeat this activity for 5 to 7 rounds

CREATING A MINDFULNESS HABIT
"Habit is a cable ;we weave a thread each day,and at last we cannot break it "
It isn't necessary to be mindful in all your waking hours,but unless you make a conscious effort to be mindful on daily basis it's easy to get distracted by things that divert your attention through the day .
HOW WILL YOU CREATE A MINDFULNESS HABIT IN PRACTICE
■ SET A TIMER ON YOUR PHONE- TO REMIND YOU TO BE MINDFUL AT RANDOM TIMES OF YOUR DAY
■PUT A PHONE ON YOUR BATHROOM MIRROR- SAYING "BE MINDFUL "
■DECIDE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY TO EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT RESULTS
■MAKE A MINDFULNESS DATE WITH YOURSELF, A TIME IN YOUR DAY WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING SPECIALLY DE DEVOTED TO MINDFULNESS
■COMMIT TO BEING MINDFUL EVERY TIME YOU OPEN A DOOR

" THE HARD MUST BECOME HABIT. THE HABIT MUST BECOME EASY.THE EASY MUST BECOME BEAUTIFUL "-DOUG HENNING

Understanding your Brain .
•Learning about our Brain helps us become better thinkers ,healthier and happier .
•By getting to know these 3 important parts of the Brain, we can learn to help them to work together This helps us to respond rather than react making us feel more important.

MEERKAT BRAIN ( AMYGDALA )
This is our internal alarm system .Whenever we feel upset or frightened our Amygdala is on alert and blocks information from your PFC.The. The Amygdala reacts to perceived danger as real danger .

Elephant Brain ( Hippocampus )
Creates stores and processes all our memories and important facts. It also remembers how things and people made us feel.

Owl Brain ( Prefrontal cortex)
This is where we process information so we can compute decide ,analyse and reason.The catch is your Amygdala needs to be calm for this to happen .It will then focus on anything worth remembering to the Hippocampus.

DEEP BREATHING CAN COME TO THE RESCUE BY CALMING THE MEERKAT (AMYGDALA) HELPING YOU TO THINK AND REMEMBER CLEARLY.

WHAT IS ANXIETY?
ANXIETY IS AN EMOTIONAL IMBALANCE CONNECTED TO OUR ROOT CHAKRA.SO ITS OUR FEAR COMES UP,AND WHEN WE DONT FEEL SAFE IN THE WORLD. ITS THE OPPOSITE OF SAFETY,STABILITY AND STEADINESS THAT WE FIND IN THE ROOT CHAKRA.

WHY DO WE FEEL ANXIETY ?
ANXIETY IS THERE BECAUSE WE DONT TRUST WHAT S HAPPENING .WE HAVE FEAR.

HOW DO WE REDUCE ANXIETY?

WE WANT TO ANCHOR OUR DEEPER SENSE OF TRUST IN UNIVERSE,IN LIFE MYSTERY IN HOW THINGS ARE UNFOLDING. WHAT HELPS US TO SURRENDER AND TRUST IS OUR OWN ABILITY TO PROVIDE STRENGTH ,RESILIENCE IN OUR INNER RESOURCES. WHEN WE CAN RELY ON OUR SELVES TO SHOW UP IN ANY SITUATION WITH INTEGRITY, STRENGTH AND INNER POWER AND LOVE.
WE WANT TO RECONNECT WITH OUR ENERGY SOURCES ,IT MAY BE GOD,EARTH,LIFE OR YOUR OWN INNER SPIRIT. AND ASKING FOR HELP SO THAT OUR FEAR ,OUR ANXIETY CHANGES INTO TRUST ,STRENGTH AND STEADINESS. TO SEND OUR ROOTS DOWN ,TO ANCHOR INTO WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT HERE,RIGHT NOW.

THE GOLDEN SPACE SUIT MEDITATION
Spend a little bit of time helping your child to focus on the breadth and relax.Guide him to imagine he's wearing a golden space suit(you can physically help his imagination by guiding him to move as if were pulling it on).The suit has two special qualities which you guide your child to notice:it keeps him safe and shuts out excess noise or energy around him ;and it feels like there are really heavy weights in the shoes,so like an astronaut he has to walk more slowly and he feels the weight making a stronger connection to the ground and the earth with every step. With every step he feels stronger and safer( this can be done in an imaginative way or with him walking around the room)

This is an excellent meditation for children who are struggling to cope with the change and adapt to new environment. It will help children who have just started school and find it overwhelming .It protects the children from being anxious.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE

YOU HAVE A CHOICE

Rely on yourself, and be true to who you are .What's unique about you is what will take you far .Sometimes you think too much about what others do and say .You feel so small around them-they must know the right way . But then stop and listen to that little inside voice, the one that whispers in your heart,"YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE. "So pause and think ,What's the best way for you?.Only you know who and what you want to be.
