A short mindfulness video for kids. In this episode of Cosmic Kids Zen Den I explain in a kid-friendly way that we are separate from our thoughts. They come and go - and we can observe them. There's a really clever way of remembering this - our mind is like a pond full of fish. The fish are our feelings. If we remember to Be The Pond, we'll let those feelings just swim by. Be the Pond!
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.
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!
Can you imagine being a cat - how calm and warm it is? Join Jaime for another Peace Out guided relaxation for kids.
