Practicing meditation on a regular basis can greatly contribute to children’s sense of security and self-esteem, to enhance their ability to concentrate, cope with stress and relax, and even help them realize their strengths and skills. In a world of overwhelming technology, this is increasingly needed.
It has been shown that our thoughts create an immediate physical reaction in our body. If we relax our mind, our body would receive the same soothing message. Guided Imagery meditation can help us create harmony in our mind-body connection, that can benefit both our emotional well-being and our overall health.
By showing our kids how we can take charge and be responsible for our experience of well-being we teach them to be active about feeling good, as opposed to being in a reactive mode only. Learning this life skill can increase their experience of happiness as they grow up, and encourage them to live a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.
