World Meditation Day & SLPC • As we wrap up Day FOUR of our Student Leader Program Celebration (SLPC), we’d love to a give HUGE shoutout to the Student Leaders who traveled from Oneida, WI last week to take part in the event along with other students from NYC!

In addition to sharing the ways in which Brain Power Wellness supports them, they shared parts of their culture and who they truly are through song and meditation 🧘🏽while dressed in their traditional ribbon clothing. It was a heartwarming experience for all, thank you so so much for coming!!! 🧠💪🏾✨

Cupid, where? In the spirit LOVE OF ALL KINDS, we at Brain Power Wellness encourage you to practice Bow & Arrow: a “win-win” exercise that enhances your well-being on multiple levels! This simple act of shooting an arrow of loving-kindness to someone who needs it helps you stretch your muscles, improve the health of our heart and lungs, and increases our levels of all those “feel good” hormones, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. Give someone, anyone - a friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, or even your pet - the chance to receive your love and experience their own boost in those same hormones! 🏹💕

Martin Luther King Jr. Day was on Jan 20th but everyday, let his words of wisdom and courage pe*****te our every decision!

We all hold big and small dreams in our hearts: dreams about what we hope for ourselves, family, friends, and our hopes for the whole world–like the dream Dr. King shared in his famous speech back in 1963. The exercise challenge for this week is about keeping those dreams alive! Let’s recall what MLK said during his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech:

“...with patient and firm determination
we will press on until every valley of despair
is exalted to new peaks of hope...”

Please share with us : What do you aspire to creating in the world? No matter what your dreams are, with small steps, you can get them a little closer to becoming a reality. 💭

"My favorite experience was being able to connect with the teachers and educators. To all focus on the same mission as far as helping the youth, hoping the school community, and bringing resources that we feel are going to help them do better, feel better, and you know, just make the community more wholesome." - Kevin P. X334 - November CTL 2024

Sending love and a big shout out to Middle College High School at LaGuardia Community College for posting! So happy your experience was “amazing”!

Members of our amazing staff traveled this weekend to Honor’s Haven Resort in the Catskill Mountains to work with Brain Power Wellness. BPW uses social-emotional learning not only through the lens of intellectual understanding but through an interconnected perspective that engages the body, heart, mind and brain. It was an amazing experience. Brain Power Wellness

Fall Equinox • For English poet, John Donne, autumn is the best season. As he puts it: “No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.” During this season, we can observe how gracefully the leaves are changing shapes and colors. We, too, can practice this same ease as we shift into new routines & patterns. As this new season unfolds, we at Brain Power Wellness encourage you to take time to connect to the beauty within nature and within yourself 🍂

What’s YOUR favorite fall activity & WHY?

Happy National Day of Encouragement • Let’s give each other our flowers while we can still smell them. Your kind words of affirmation can shift one’s self-perspective and encourage us all to be our best selves. Who will you inspire today? 💐
