Today is DAY 7 Dr. Rick Hanson: The Neuroscience Of Mindfulness. I plan to listen to that one.

I think that the focus on Mindfulness as the be all and end all is not helpful for the people who it is not safe for them to meditate/do Mindfulness today. Though I noted that Mark Williams cautioned against this in the first talk.

Mindful Parenting today - wow to grow up with parents that actually gave a damn, that would be different.

 

[The Albatross]

Heh, you got that right... yet my f'cked up parents did their "best". Which was not good, at all. One had an epiphany and grief later on... one never will.

 

[ms spock]

Today's one was good.

DAY 25: GUIDANCE ON MINDFULNESS FOR CHILDREN, TEENS AND THOSE WHO WORK AND LEARN WITH THEM

Professor Katherine Weare is Emeritus Professor at the University of Exeter where she is working to develop and evaluate mindfulness in schools programs. Professor Weare is a dedicated mindfulness practitioner herself as well as a qualified mindfulness teacher. Her overall field is social and emotional learning and mental health and well being in schools. She is known as an international expert on evidence-based practice and has written some of the leading books in this area and conducted several definitive reviews and led programmes which have informed policy and practice in many countries.

In this interview Katherine offers her expertise and guidance for conveying mindfulness to children, teens and those who work and learn with them. She discusses why mindfulness in school is important and shows how mindfulness makes learning more effective. You’ll also discover how mindfulness can change the brain and make us more compassionate and kind and less reactive.

This video includes a wonderful practice called ‘finger breathing’ which is a great one to share with children.
