Meditation for Trauma – Children who have experienced trauma often live in a heightened state of anxiety, unable to fully relax, connect, or feel safe. We created a recording of our recent webinar that focuses on practical, calming tools to support children (and the adults around them) in managing the effects of trauma and anxiety.
Why This Meditation for Trauma Webinar Matters
While understanding trauma is essential, knowing how to respond in the moment when a child is anxious, distressed, or shut down is where real impact happens.
This introductory webinar will explore how meditation and energy-awareness practices—when introduced gently and appropriately— can help children regulate their nervous systems, improve emotional resilience, and feel safer in their bodies and environments.
