Kids and Teens

There are many benefits for children in mindfulness. Cultivating creativity and focus, building internal resilience and tools for emotional regulation, a calmer more relaxed child can think more constructively and sleep more easily.

Introduce mindfulness to a child for just a few minutes a day. Start as time to simply notice things – what they sense (see, smell, hear, taste, touch) whilst eating breakfast or walking , or what they feel or think when excited, happy or upset, and where they feel it in the body. Experiment!

Contemplations – Lectio Divina

Lectio Divina, translated as ‘divine reading’, is a connective contemplation toward an open space mind. It can be practiced with religious writings, poetry or inspiring words. The original teaching of this form of contemplation for spiritual development was from the 15th Century church. There are 4 stages in this process:

Lectio – Reading the selected work a few times and allowing yourself to be ‘caught’ by a word or phrase;

Meditatio – Meditation on the word or phrase that caught you, imbuing yourself within it;

Oratio – Speaking or praying from the heart, perhaps asking for guidance;

Contemplatio – Contemplation,  settling into a quiet openess, ‘just being with’ and waiting for possible spiritual insight.

“You have searched me Lord, and you know me …”

Sometimes its just good to hang out with a friend.
