Kids Mindfulness Practice Day Hugely Nourishing!

Today's time with the kids was so sweet and we wished to give a recap. We were blessed with Bodie and Ariel who both were amazing little Buddhas. Our morning began with sharing sources of happiness followed by a five minute sit, to give a benchmark for our time together, then we proceeded to  listen and invite the bell with each person taking a turn.

After enjoying the bell, we went outside for walking meditation where Ariel rang the bell beautifully (she's a toddler, mind you--amazing!) and Bodie thoughtfully led the way. We were visited by a neighborhood dog who inspired us to count the number of animals we saw in another mindful stroll around The Studio.

Lastly, Bodie showed us a newly acquired super cool flashlight given to him by his dad and went to work placing it on a spinning platform so when he spun it, every thing was bathed in its light. His flashlight seemed a perfect metaphor--mindfulness is often compared to light--it shines on every single thing, with gentle awareness, no discrimination. Lake Tahoe Mindfulness Community added new young friends today and we are so grateful!
