What a wonderful event yesterday at

Thank you to Sue Brereton Million for inviting me to attend.

Apologies, for only being able to stay for the morning due to needing to dash of to cover Dance Mum duties. It was lovely to connect with other companies and meet lots of children and parents. Thank you to the children who came to do some mindfulness crafts with me. I managed to get chance to snap a few of the children who joined me. Thank you for allowing me to post the photos. 😊🙏

Today was the last class of the 1st Introduction to Creative Mindfulness classes.

In today’s class we looked at Gratitude. We discussed all the things that we are thankful for and that fill our lives with happiness. We practiced mindful breathing excercises and completed a lovely gratitude meditation, before the children were all invited to make their own gratitude tree. There were some beautiful trees created and some wonderful things to be grateful for.

We also discussed and reflected on some of the learning over the 6 classes and we talked about how each one of them is unique and like a sparkling diamond. To mark the end of the classes, each child was given their own diamond 💎(faux gem) so they can always reflect back on their own worth. I am so grateful to all the children who attended my 1st block of classes and made the experience so incredible for me. I will hopefully see you all again in some of my upcoming classes. 🙏

It’s so important to pause! It looks and sounds so easy but it takes continuous practice. We are never a master. ⏸

Session 5 of the introduction to creative mindfulness classes - Cup of Sunshine!

We started the session by discussing how we felt and where we felt it in our bodies. We read stories about filling cups/buckets and the kind things we can do for ourselves and others. We looked at how it possible to fill up our own and others cups.

We all made a pledge to try to fill up others cups of sunshine and we talked about ways we might fill up others cups.

For the craft activity everyone made their own cup of sunshine and filled it will all the things that help to fill their cups. We also looked at things that can empty our cups too.

We read a lovely meditation about blowing kind bubbles to everyone and we practiced some fun mindful breaths.

All activities inspired by the wonderful Creative Mindfulness Kids Training

Lesson 4 of the Introduction to Creative Mindfulness was all about discovering which feeling is visiting. We read a lovely story - ‘Look who’s Here’ by for the younger children and the ‘Sometimes I Feel’ book for the older children. We discussed how everyone was feeling, where they felt the feeling in the body and what that feeling felt like. We explored practices such as 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and the children practiced a lovely happiness meditation.

We discussed how breathing, meditation and distraction can be useful tools to help us to let go of difficult feelings but that it is important to acknowledge the feeling and see what it is we need before it moves on in its own time, as feelings always change.

The children then made their own feelings diaries and looked at different ways of expressing their feelings by using their diaries.
