5-8 歲情緒平衡的正念探索

Mindfulness or paying attention to the present moment is a valuable habit to instill at a young age.  Each week learners will share what they are grateful for and will learn a new way of being mindful.  Activities will include breathing exercises, moving meditation, art, and mindful eating practice.

March 20:  Students will bring a sock and beans or tissue paper to make a breathing buddy and they will practice having the breathing buddy on their stomachs and focus on their stomachs going up and down as they breathe.
March 27:  Students will learn mindfulness through body movement that includes the tree pose, cloud hands, and breathing up and down arms
April 3:  Students will learn mindfulness through art.  They will color with no rules or plans, and make a tape art collage.
April 10:  Students will learn mindfulness through eating.  They will practice (with their food of choice) taking small bites and paying attention to the food as they chew and swallow.
