In situations like this, I know I'm the adult. I need to keep my own frustration in check, even though the circumstances force me to set aside my back and be insulated. If you think about it, our lives allow nearly zero down time. This is a huge shift even between the childhood I remember and the one myself had. There's no relaxation, boredom, or stillness that allows the body to relax and the nervous system to calm down. In other words, our tech- and info-driven busyness doesn't let our brains recharge in their alpha state, the relaxed-but-alert frequency in the brain we often sense just before we fall asleep. Meditation, or the practice of self-awareness in body and mind, has been revered for thousands of years as a natural, accessible way to regulate our reaction to stress and manifest good health. When presented with any kind of threat, humans are hardwired to fight, take flight, or freeze. Meditation can help kids read and respond to internal signals of stress before their developing brains and bodies give in to a full-blown tantrum. The key is intuiting what your child needs to come back into balance and giving him or her the tools to practice. Introducing meditation to the children in slum is something now, I really feel so much happy because at first time they were like I can't close my eyes or I can't feel anything but now they are improving and even also loving it ooooh wow that's awesome. #Share #Like #Donate https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-okurut-george-and-family @narendramodi @narendramodijiindia @ministryofhealth_uganda @educsportsug @ministryofayush @vicepresidentofindia @songsofeden @maltehagemeister @ludacris @willsmith @oprah @cnnafrica @yogainspiration #YogaJournal #heartofdance #communutyyoga #yogahomepractice #yogaforeveryoga #yogalifestyle #yogaheals #yogastrength #yogachallenge #yogaflow #kidsyoga #slumyoga #LivingEnlightenment #motivation #peaceofmind #healthyliving #travelling #mindfulness #yogalife #yogaeverywhere #meditation (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGwWiFwA3mj/?igshid=1luz8lzlaqs8x
