BUILDING BRAIN ARCHITECTURE WITH MINDFULNESS:
“SUPPORTING YOU AND ME”
Being there for our little one, to support their healthy development, takes time, attention and energy… And responsive and positive interaction, to help them thrive into later life.
In order to be there for them, we need to be there for ourselves, support our bodies and minds, and take care of our own needs. Take time to be still, breathe, and top up your energy. Remind yourself that you are important, you are able, and you will get through this.
May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be loved.
We are here for you, for them.

mindfulness activities for calm and building resilience
MINDFUL MOMENT: “BODY SCAN MEDITATION”
Offer yourself 14 minutes of complete relaxation and feel your worries melt away. Get cosy on your couch or floor, wrap yourself in a blanket, close your eyes and breathe.
ADDITIONAL MINDFULNESS Toolboxes
“You Are Not Alone”
Remember that we are all the same. We are all made of the same materials, we experience the same feelings, go through pain, struggles and anger, but we all too easily think we are alone in this. We are not alone. We are here together. Remind yourself of this when you struggle.
“I Need A Break”
We need to ground ourselves and listen to ourselves. We are all hurting at the moment... We’re all in need of healing and to receive kind, loving energy. We hope this theme helps release feelings of being overloaded and allows you to give yourself a break.
“Self Acceptance” Rainbow Theme
Sometimes we have to move through tricky feelings and tricky times. Your feelings during these tricky times are valid and ok. Acknowledge them and breathe so that you come out stronger on the other side. Just like a rainbow after a storm.
“I Am Here. I Am Grounded.”
Everything is connected - We are to one another and also towards the earth, so let’s use this time to reconnect to ourselves, to each other, and to nature.
TEDDY BEAR BELLY BREATHING
We are building strong, peaceful, resilient hearts through the magic of being here. Talk to us about helping your home, classroom or organisation integrate simple, mindfulness activities into your daily routine to help overloaded feelings.
