Jaime tells a story from a childhood math lesson, to illustrate how the amygdala (our 'guard dog') can be so good at protecting us - a little TOO good - that it stops the thinking part of our brain (our 'owl' - the pre-frontal cortex) from doing its work!
Join Jaime on a special Zen Den field frip - a mindful walk in the beautiful countryside!
Mindful walking is a way of noticing what's going on around you while you take a walk. Instead of racing to where you're going, you take your time and really notice what you see, hear and feel.
Another Zen Den mindfulness video!
Jaime explains how thoughts work. They're like bubbles which come and go (POP!)
Have fun understanding how your thinking works - and learn that every thought is just a passing bubble!
Your Inner Ninja is your concentration, a super power which you can train. If you want to be able to do amazing things, your concentration will help. Jaime shows us how to train our Inner Ninja using our breathing.
