Mindfulness is like building a muscle, a practice that you continuously have to exercise to strengthen the skill. Starting at a young age to connect with intuition and learning to recognize feelings, emotions and bodily sensations associated with them, gives children the strength to overcome daily challenges and a lifelong skill that will always enrich their lives.
In this wonderful episode, Tamara and Michelle talk about mindful practices not only for children but for parents, their benefits and the meaningful connections that can be created as a result of being more present and opened to our inner worlds.
