Leanann na ranganna seo seacht gcéim. Bíonn cluichí ann agus déantar massage ar a chéile agus orthu féin. Labhraíonn siad faoi rudaí dearfacha - rudaí maithe a tharla an lá sin, focail dhearfacha agus mar sin. Déantar roinnt stretches agus bíonn cúpla cluiche ann atá dírithe ar an analú - cá bhfuil sé le mothú agus mar sin. Ansin bíonn am suaimhnais ann ag deireadh an ranga ina luann na daoine óga síos agus éisteann siad le visualisation.

The Inner Nudge Podcast is back for Season 2.

I can't believe I've made it to season 2 to be honest but I have lots of incredible interviews done and ready to share with you and I have more planned and I cannot wait for you to hear them.

The first podcast back is a solo episode with me talking about life now here in A Coruna and what I'm up to, how it has been and I also talk about embodiment, what it is and what it means and I talk about embodiment coaching as well. There is a chance at the end for you to practice some embodiment so you can fully understand what it means and I can't wait to hear what you think!

Go and check it out on Spotify, Amazon and Apple podcasts and let me know what you think!

And make sure you are subscribed so you don't miss future episodes!

Stress, anxiety, worry, fear; they are all part of our everyday life now.

The world is on fire and we feel so out of control and helpless so often but yet we're still here.

What can we do to make sure we don't get completely taken up by all of the fear an d worry going around?

My Mindfulness Bundle will show you that mindfulness can be fun. It will show you that you don't need to be quiet in order to practice mindfulness. You will learn that mindfulness can help us deal with stress and anxiety while we are having fun, joking and being present with what is happening right now.

My Mindfulness Diary is full of different ways for you and your children to practice mindfulness from colouring and watching the trees outside as the seasons change to watching the waves on the beach come in and out and elephant breathing. Your Breathing Dice Kit will teach you elephant breathing, bee breathing, bear breathing and lots more animal breathing techniques that will help you and your little ones enjoy life again, even when things feel stressful, scary and difficult.

But my discount offer won't be around forever so if you are interested in either of these beautiful products for yourself or as a present, make sure to comment or DM me soon to get €6 off + you will only have to pay one postage cost

While I was being really sad over the weekend, I received this beautiful testimonial from Kevin, who has been in the membership since it began and I was so delighted to read how much my meditations and explanations and supports have helped him.

Life is full of paradoxes, one minute we are sad and upset and the next minute we are happy or the other way around.

I think the key is to be able to feel sad and let yourself feel happy as then the emotions can move faster through you and you can feel better but you also get to experience all of the emotions which is really what life is about; the good and the not so good!

If you would like to know more or just want a chat about how the membership or meditation might help you, comment below or DM me

When I went to Roselyn's house to teach a family session, she had three children there with one a lot younger then the others, which can make the classes a little more challenging but I loved being able to give the little one some simple tasks to do, and keeping him involved in the class.

We did stretches with different cards and all three children could pick cards and the animal breathing was a huge hit with all three. We used by big spongy dice so it could be thrown all over the place and even the little one was able to join in for the colouring in at the end and as happens often with these classes, I didn't want to end it as I didn't want to break the calm spell that had come over the house.

Mindfulness does not need to be done quietly. There can be running kids, doorbells ringing, dogs barking (as happens often during family sessions, with the parents having to run in and out as well sometimes) and we can still practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is awareness of what you are doing when you are doing it and if you are mindful of the noise, you are hearing it but are choosing to have fun, choosing to offer a little one that is wanting attention something small to play with, that is all part of mindfulness.

My Mindfulness Diary will offer you so many different ways to practice mindfulness with your children. Some of it will be them asking questions like 'what was something fun you did today?' at dinner or it will sometimes be for them to go outside and look at the stars. It will vary every day so that their interest is kept and so they want to keep coming back to the diary to see what is the next possible mindful activity.

Comment below and I will send you the link for more information and to order your own and don't forget it is available in English and Irish.

Deep breathing is a beautiful way to bring awareness to the present moment as we are always breathing right now so it is a lovely way to help your mind feel calmer and to bring yourself out of anxiety and my animal breathing techniques make this beautiful, relaxing exercise a little more fun!

Your Breathing Dice Kit can be a fun, after-dinner game where everyone takes turns rolling the dice and practising the different animal breathings. It can be a relaxing-before-we-read-but-after-we've-brushed-our-teeth game before bed. It can even be played with friends or family members that are over visiting.

This beautiful dice can be used alone or along with My Mindfulness Diary; it's completely up to you!

This wooden dice has six faces and each face has a different animal on it and there is a leaflet with each dice (in English and Irish) that describes the six different animal breathing techniques.

Each dice face is a picture so once you understand how to do the breathing technique (and feel free to make up your own techniques as well!) the children don't need to be able to read or write in order to use Your Breathing Dice Kit.

Each of the breathing techniques are also mentioned in My Mindfulness Diary which is why the two products can work well together but they also work perfectly well separately as well!

Comment below or DM me and I will send you the link to get a €6 discount when you buy Your Breathing Dice Kit and My Mindfulness Diary or if you just want one, I can send you that link too!

One year ago today, I got the first copies of My Mindfulness Diary and what a year it has been!

I have been talking about my mindfulness products a lot recently but you don't know when and how you can use them with your family, so I'm here to give you some ideas!

My Mindfulness Diary was created so that parents or teachers alike could give the children in their lives something that would allow them to practice mindfulness and learn simple habits and tricks, without anyone needing to wonder what that mindful thing would be!

Each Mindfulness Diary page has two different mindful activities; one written and one to do and there is also a simple phrase or idea or thought for you to think about.

No two pages are the same, so your child won't get bored as they won't know what is coming for the next day on any given day. The written activities can also be drawn and there is lots of space for colouring in.

It can be used when children have a quiet moment in school, it can be used to calm nerves or anxiety before school or to help your child come back into themselves and feel better after school. The most common way I hear of it being used at homes in before bed but really, it can be done whenever you and your family wants to do it.

Here are some examples of diary pages so you have an idea of what I'm talking about.

It is suitable for children ages 6+ and for adults too!

When I started working with Sam and her family, she said that bedtime was chaos, it could be such a struggle to get the kids out to school in the mornings and life felt stressful.

After our first session together, she said that bedtime that night had been so much easier and that even her littlest one had been easier to get into bed and she and her husband felt so much calmer relaxing in front of the TV that night.

All of the activities in My Mindfulness Diary are simple things that I do myself when I'm feeling stressed and I have tried out with nieces, nephews and students.

I absolutely love when I can see my nephew start to get anxious or be upset after a shock and I can remind him to put his hands on his belly and take some deep breaths. His sister is no so quick to take deep breaths but she loves jumping up and down and shaking so that the energy moves through her faster. Everyone is different, so they need different tools to help them feel calm and relaxed. My Mindfulness Diary has so many different ideas and tricks that you are sure to find just the one that works for you and your family.

These are some of the simple techniques that My Mindfulness Diary will remind you and your child to do and Your Breathing Dice Kit will teach you both how to have fun with your deep breaths.

Both work so well together but also separately. If you want information on either one specifically comment below or send me a DM and I am still running, for just another few days my special bundle offer where you can buy both My Mindfulness Diary (with the option of the English or Irish one) and Your Breathing Dice Kit for €6 cheaper then if you buy them separately AND you also save on postage so that's another saving!

If you want that link, comment below or DM me and I will send it to you.

This is one of my favourite pages in My Mindfulness Diary (and it is also in Mo Leabhairín Beag Féin)!

It is a chance for your child to explore and colour and to have fun and the instructions in the page before are for them to try doing it in silence! This is one of my favourite parts of family classes when I ask the families to colour quietly together, it always take a bit of getting used to but we get there eventually! And by the end, everyone feels a little quieter and calmer! I usually don't want to finish up and break the spell!

If you would like to have a chance to see how this works for your family, comment below and I will send you the link to order your own diary!

In today’s fast-paced world, children need moments of peace and reflection more than ever and My Mindfulness Diary is the perfect tool to help them get that.

The diary will help children discover the joy and benefits of mindfulness, one day at a time – whether at home or in school.

Each page offers two different mindful exercises, so there is lots of variety and engagement and there are a huge amount of activities to be done from colouring and meditation to breathing techniques and more, there’s something for every child.

The diary is designed for busy families so the pages take less than 15 minutes to fill in. The daily ideas and thoughts encourage children to pause and wonder and there is a mixture of writing, noticing and drawing that will keep your child interested and involved.

This mindfulness diary is a versatile tool for introducing mindfulness that grows with children. By dedicating just a few minutes each day, children will develop habits that can lead to a lifetime of emotional well-being and mental clarity and I have been told it takes less then 15 minutes!

And My Breathing Dice is a beautiful companion game for the diary, or a beautiful, fun way to practice mindfulness on it's own!

The wooden dice is simple to put together and will teach your children six different animal breathing techniques that they can use to help them when they feel anxious, stressed or worried.

There are so many benefits to practising mindfulness including increased calmness and relaxation, less anxiety and stress, improved focus and attention and feelings of peace and happiness.

Mindfulness doesn't have to be boring and you don't have to be quiet in order to do it and both of these products will show you and your family how that is possible for you!

They are both available to be purchased separately but I currently am running a special offer if you buy them together so comment below and I will send you the link to order yours.

I am running a special offer! My Mindfulness Diary (as Gaeilge or in English) and Your Breathing Dice Kit are beautiful products that can work separately or together and will help you easily bring more calm, relaxation and mindfulness into the lives of the children in your live.

The skills that you learn with these products will teach the children what to do when they feel stressed, anxious or worried and it will help them at whatever part of their life they are in.

I had a mother come up to me at a day retreat in Belfast once and tell me that he daughter was still using her bunny breathing every morning before she went into school. Her daughter had come to one of my classes two years before that. She said that she would feel anxious going to school but when she uses her bunny breathing it really helps her feel calmer and it helps her let go of some of the worries she has.

When she told me this, I thought; this is why I do this! This is why I help children and why I want to offer them simple techniques because if we can teach them simple ways to help them feel better when they are younger, they will have these techniques as adults and for the rest of their lives!

If you are interested in both the Diary and Your Breathing Kit, I am currently running a bundle offer, if you buy them together.

If you DM me or comment below I will send you a link that will let you buy these products for €6 cheaper then paying for them separately and you will also only have to pay one postage charge.

I can't wait to find out how your children react to these educational and lovely products!
