Mindfulness vs. Child Self-Awareness:

I wanted to pause to show you the difference between these two things.

Mindfulness exercises are intended to help us be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. (These can be so helpful!)

While I incorporate the use of some mindfulness exercises in my classes, the goal of my teachings is quite different from that of mindfulness.

My program is designed to assist in the emotional and spiritual development of the student. I help my students find autonomy, assertiveness, and confidence so they can make sound decisions for themselves.

In our classes, the students are introduced to the truest, and purest part of themselves (their soul.)

So, when we sit quietly in a meditative state, it's not just so we can be aware of our thoughts and feelings. We sit so we can be aware of our own divinity and subsequently fall in love with who we are as a person.

When we are able to truly love, appreciate, and honor ourselves, we increase our own emotional intelligence, the key ingredient for both social and professional success as we grow.
