Warm The Heart With Mindfulness And Breathing Activities
These healing mindfulness activities for children (and for ourselves) invite us to take a moment to pause, and invite comfort, safety and belonging into our hearts and minds. When our minds feel like there is too much going on, we can remember to pause for a few moments, and hold this quiet time in our hearts.
You are enough, perfect as you are, and you belong. When you forget this, take a deep breath in through your nose… Imagine lounging in a hammock under the shade of a large tree… Feel a gentle, warm breeze on your skin, then gently breathe out. Take a few healing breaths here, visualising the comforts of the season surrounding you. You can also tell the children and teens you support, “You are enough, perfect as you are, and you belong” to help them through tough moments or even to begin and end the day with!
