cómo hablar para que los niños escuchen

This post was prompted by an experience I had recently. I was walking my dog Jess past our local nursery. As we approached, there were 3 kids who came running around the corner of the building (aged about 3 years old) and as they saw us in their excited state, they picked up a handful […]

Tener desafíos y aprender de ellos ...

I have been teaching meditation for years now and all types of meditation are of interest to me. I don’t believe there is only one way to meditate and that an individual has to find the way that works for them. Children are the same – individuals – so if we bear this in mind […]

cuencos cantores y mindfulness para niños, inspirado en Thich Nhat Hahn

In a previous post, I mentioned my retreat experience with the wonderful Thich Nhat Hahn. One of the mindfulness practices that struck a chord with me was ‘inviting the bell to sing’. This is my interpretation of what this means and how you can teach children to practise using this to help aid their meditation. […]

Meditación para niños pequeños

I know that meditation for toddlers can be tricky in that they have such a small attention span. I was meditating (always a good start) and got this idea for a toddlers meditation (though it could be adapted for older or children with special needs). The ‘Boo’ and “Shhhh” Meditation Game It’s always a good […]

Mindfulness, niños y Thich Nhat Hanh

A few weeks ago I was very fortunate to attend an educators’ retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh – a Zen Master who has been promoting the benefits of mindfulness meditation to people for that last 50 to 60 years. Thay and his team are now planting these seeds with educators (teachers, therapists and anyone working […]
