Spring Mindfulness Theme: “Gentle Breezes and Bluebirds”
The calm breeze of spring is all around us, and we can tune in to this to help feel relaxed and peaceful. As cold winter air comes to an end, let's awaken our senses to all the positive that springtime can bring us with these practices below! There is a weather proverb that states: “Bluebirds are a sign of spring, warm weather and gentle south breezes.” (The Old Farmer’s Almanac). Along with this, the spiritual meaning of bluebirds includes love, peace, trust, dedication and positive change. We thought this would make for a relevant theme right now, and the idea of being gentle on yourself too. Try the mantra: "I am peaceful. I find softness in my heart. May I be gentle on myself."
We hope you enjoy this activity pack with ideas to bring peace and calm into your day.
May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be loved. We are here for you, for them.
