Chakradance Kids With Dana

Chakradance Kids With Dana Well-being Programs for Children Inamojo™ offers wellbeing programs for children of elementary /primary school age. Obesity and eating disorders are endemic.

Our Mission is to help equip children with life-tools and life-skills for life-long wellbeing. Inamojo programs nurture creativity and
imagination through play while addressing all levels of healthy developmental growth: physical, cognitive, emotional and social. The ever-accelerating pace of change in the world means that the children of today in some ways have more opportunities than ever before

– but they also face greater challenges. Over-stimulation, over-medication, family fragmentation and dietary issues are all contributing to the increasing incidence of health-related disorders (physical, emotional and mental) among our children. Diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder are on the rise. The negative impacts of bullying are amplified dramatically by new technologies such as social media. Our children can too often be left feeling confused, anxious, isolated and fearful, with no real sense of how to navigate their way through life. Inamojo wellbeing programs have been created to help address these issues, giving young children a set of helpful tools and skills with which to deal with life’s challenges as they grow. Weaving original music and stories with mindful practices such as meditation, breath awareness, expressive movement and art, inamojo wellbeing programs nurture children on inner journeys of self-enquiry, self-discovery, and self-awareness. Inamojo is based on the eastern integrative ‘map’ of the chakra system, together with Jungian psychology and a variety of contemporary Early Childhood Development theories. These foundations are not discussed explicitly in inamojo classes, obviously,but they underpin and drive the key developmental themes in each class: trusting
instincts; emotional expression; self-esteem; compassion; communication; intuition and imagination; and self-awareness. Inamojo follows the same format each week (story > dance > art > discussion), and each class covers a different theme and learning experience. By using the same format,
children become familiar with the class structure and can move further into their own experiences. The first 9-week program, a series of classes called "Naga's Curse", has been created for children between the ages of 5 and 8. THE STRUCTURE OF OUR 9-WEEK PROGRAMS
- Introduction: Introducing the characters and storyline.
- Red class: Learning to trust instincts.
- Orange class: Coping with, and expressing, emotions.
- Yellow class: Explores self-esteem, confidence, courage.
- Green class: Addresses jealousy, compassion, love.
- Blue class: Effective communication, assertiveness.
- Indigo class: Imagination, dreams, and goals.
- Violet class: Self-awareness, thinking, meta-cognition.
- Integration: Revisits key elements of the program.

This chart is a keeper. Study it, and the next time a big emotion wants to knock you over so you shut yourself right on down… see if you can find yourself on the left, and move to the right.

This is what I mean by taking a Time-IN…

Moving inward to be with (aka show up, make space for, process, regulate, integrate) your thoughts and feelings.

Imagine stepping inside, finding yourself in a warm and nurturing cave. Allow yourself to rest as you feel the earth beneath you, supporting your body. Listen quietly to your heartbeat, feel it pulsing through your body. Now feel the pulsing beat of Mother Earth, resonating deep within the ground, within you. The rhythm of your heart beats become one. You are of the Earth.
Have a magical day! Anna x

🐸 Look up in the sky tonight as we all watch the same full moon rise around the globe (and across the ages and species) 🍄 The full moon in May is know as the FLOWER MOON!🌸Historically at the time of the full moon, we planted and harvested crops that grow above ground. Plants were said to draw upon the additional light and ground water to advance from seed, or flush with growth like rising tides at the full moon 🌕

Fairytales (our own) are a vital component in Chakradance™ Kids lessons. Drawing on the wisdom of Jungian Psychology and the long history and success of our adult modality, Chakradance, each lesson offers children an experience of self-discovery, development of the whole-being and plenty of play!

"It is so extremely important to tell children fairy tales and legends...because (they) are instrumental symbols with whose help unconscious contents can be canalized into the consciousness, interpreted and integrated." - Carl Jung

🦅💜 "Before verbal language, there was dance. Children respond beautifully in this modern world, to the ancient ways of exploring and expressing their stories through dance. Dance helps children express their emotions and integrates the soul, with the body and brain. Dance nurtures the journey of being, belonging and becoming." - Anna Kelly🦅💜
