8m 56s
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!

Mindful Walking | Zen Den
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. -
The 'I Can't' Monster | Zen Den
A mindfulness video for kids. Jaime explains how doing something for the first time can be really tough - it's like we have an "I can't" Monster trying to tell us we can't do it.
We learn what we can say to it "OH YES I CAN!"
