A
I'm
also
going
to
share
with
you
some
resources
that
you
can
utilize
to
help
dive
in
deeper.
Should
you
want
to
by
the
end
of
this
presentation?
So
first,
let
me
share
with
you.
I
discovered
mindfulness
as
a
method
for
stress
management
for
myself
and
as
I
began
to
see
the
impacts,
the
positive
impacts
that
mindfulness
was
having
for
me
in
that
area.
A
What
I
learned
in
that
process
is
the
impact
that
mindfulness
can
have
for
our
kids.
It
can
help
support
emotional
regulation.
It
can
help
increase
empathy,
it
can
assist
and
improve
learning
and
in
behavioral
and
impulse
control.
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
a
little
bit
more
about
the
results
in
it.
But
first
let
me
share
with
you
what
is
secular,
mindfulness.
A
Maybe
you
have
been
in
a
situation
before
where
words
fell
out
of
your
mouth,
and
you
said:
oops
was
that
out
loud
or
perhaps
you
said
something
and
later
regretted
it.
What
often
is
happening
in
those
moments
is
that
we
are
reacting
to
a
stimulus
whatever
has
occurred,
has
kicked
in
our
stress
reaction
and
our
amygdala
has
driven
under
old
programming,
and
in
that
we
then,
as
we
come
back
to
our
logic
center,
feel
misaligned
to
what
happened.
A
A
What
mindfulness
does
is
it
helps
us
pay
attention
and
in
such
a
way
that
we're
able
to
choose
a
response,
as
opposed
to
reacting
when
our
amygdala
jumps
in
with
our
stress
reaction,
it
pulls
a
ton
of
energy
from
other
parts
of
our
brain
in
order
for
it
to
function
and
drive,
and
in
that
it's
pulling
energy
away
from
our
ability
to
find
creative
solutions.
That's
why
oftentimes,
especially
with
our
kids,
when
they're
under
stress,
we
see
them
showing
up
in
a
way
that
just
seems
like
it's
not
them
at
all.
A
It's
because
it's
it's,
not
the
logical
part
of
them
that
you've
been
introduced
to
some
of
the
time
that
doesn't
align
with
how
you
think
that
they
would
normally
show
up,
and
that's
because
it's
driving
from
a
different
center.
So
mindfulness
is
like
lifting
weights.
It's
like
doing
bicep
curls,
but
for
the
part
of
your
brain
that
allows
you
to
stay
focused
and
present
and
connected
more
to
that
logical
and
creative
solution.
A
Part
of
your
brain
when
we
practice
mindfulness
we're
able
to
pay
attention
to
our
senses,
our
thoughts
and
or
emotions,
and
as
we're
strengthening
it.
We
find
that
we're
able
to
increase
our
ability
to
focus
and
to
find
other
solutions
and
identify
the
emotions
that
are
helping
or
are
pumping
through
us
and
also
the
emotions
that
are
happening
in
someone
else.
Thus
increasing
empathy
and
the
ability
to
navigate
relationships.
A
While
neuroscience
is
still
relatively
new
in
studying
mindfulness
in
schools,
some
of
the
studies
that
have
already
come
out
have
shown
that
mindfulness
can
help
with
better
focus
and
concentration
and
increased
sense
of
calm,
decreased
stress
and
anxiety,
improved
impulse
control,
skillful
responses
to
difficult
emotions,
increased
empathy
and
understanding
others
and
development
of
natural
conflict
resolution
skills
based
on
everything
we
just
talked
about.
As
far
as
what
mindfulness
is
it's
easy
to
see
how
these
might
be
the
outcome,
it's
great
that
neuroscience
can
help
back
that
up.
A
We
have
these
really
awesome
sensors
at
the
base
of
our
lungs
that
when
we
fill
our
lungs
fully
it
trips
the
system-
and
it
sends
the
message
to
the
brain
and
we're
not
under
stress
we're-
not
anxious,
we're
actually
calm.
We've
got
this
flip
the
cycle
over
to
the
calm
space.
Please
and
it
works,
and
that's
why
you've
heard
people
probably
your
whole
life
say
just
take
three
deep
breaths,
because
when
you
take
a
deep
breath
and
you
feel
it
you're
hitting
those
sensors,
so
deep
breath
would
look
something
like
this.
A
That's
a
nice
deep
breath
as
you
do
more
breathing
and
you're,
focusing
on
focusing
on
more
breathing
during
your
mindfulness
practice.
It's
helpful
to
have
an
anchor
to
help
your
brain
stay
focused.
One
common
misconception
in
mindfulness
is
that
you're
going
to
make
your
brain
stop
coming
up
with
thoughts,
that's
impossible.
Our
brain
is
a
thought
machine.
That's
its
job!
Our
hope
is
to
slow
it
down
a
little
bit.
A
Instead,
we
use
what
we
call
an
anchor
and
you
could
use
an
ink
as
a
verbal
cue,
which
would
be
like
breathing
in
breathing
out
breathing
in
breathing
out
or
it
might
be,
connecting
to
the
body
and
the
way
that
the
body
is
impacted
by
the
breath.
That's
that
keeps
you
more
focused
here
and
so
there's
a
couple
places
where
you
notice
breath
moving
through
your
body.
A
While
I
use
a
singing
bowl
that
I
can
can
hit
and
it
rings
and
it
kind
of
slowly
fades
out
and
sound.
I
it's
not
necessary.
You
could
also
use
a
bell
or
a
xylophone
or
anything
else
like
that.
That
happens,
but
you
can
also
use
natural
sound.
That's
around
you.
If
I'm
using
something
like
the
singing
bowl,
I
will
invite
the
students
to
raise
their
hand
when
they're
done
hearing
the
sound.
A
Now
it's
expected
that
everybody's
going
to
raise
their
hand
at
different
points,
because
sound
is
moving
differently
for
everybody.
We
all
have
different
abilities,
but
what's
important
is
that
they're
hyper
focused
on
this
sound?
That's
what
they're
focused
in
on
that's
giving
their
brain
something
to
hold
on
to
and
that's
powerful.
A
And
then,
when
we
come
back
into
the
room,
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
what
was
it
that
you
heard
and
maybe
it's
the
humming
of
the
computer
or
children
playing
outside
or
birds
or
dogs
or
whatever
it
is
that
they
might
have
picked
up
and
heard
in
that
moment,
but
then
we're
all
just
kind
of
sharing
and
reflecting.
These
are
the
things
that
I
heard,
but
the
key
was
that
we
were
so
mindful
and
so
focused.
It
helped
exercise
that
part
of
the
brain
to
show
you
what
this
looks
like.
A
I
would
like
to
invite
you
to
walk
through
a
mindful
exercise
with
me
using
these
three
different
tools.
The
first
thing
that
we
do
when
we
step
into
a
mindful
practice
is
to
find
our
mindful
body.
So,
if
we're
sitting
in
a
chair,
we
would
have
our
feet
flat
on
the
floor
or
we
might
sit
crisscross
applesauce.
If
we're
sitting
on
the
floor
from
there,
we
make
sure
that
we
adjust
ourselves
so
that
our
spine
is
straight.
It's
almost
like
a
string
just
pull
this
upright.
A
The
next
thing
that
I
do
is
I
invite
them
to
drop
their
shoulders
because
it's
so
natural
for
us
to
be
like
those
most
of
the
day.
So
we
drop
our
shoulders
and
we
relax,
and
then
we
put
our
hands
on
our
lap
or
they
can
be
folded
together.
It
doesn't
matter,
and
then
I
invite
them
to
close
their
eyes
or
look
gently
down
at
the
floor,
and
then
we
begin.
A
A
When
you're
ready
go
ahead
and
open
your
eyes
and
come
back
to
me
in
the
room,
I
do
have
this
further
reading
slide
that
I'm
going
to
have
printed
out
in
a
pdf
for
you,
so
that
you
can
have
that
which
offers
some
different
tools
for
kids
or
teens
this
book
here.
Brainstorm
by
daniel
siegel
is
an
amazing
book,
but
I
think
it's
really
more
for
the
adult
to
read
and
understand
the
journey
that's
happening
with
the
child
and
the
child's
brain
development
at
that
time.
A
Daniel
siegel,
who
I
shared
previously
sharon
salzberg,
is
world
renowned
with
mindfulness
and
patricia
jennings
is
specific,
for
teachers
has
been
phenomenal
about
helping
teachers
bring
mindfulness
into
the
classroom,
contact.
Here's
my
social
media,
here's
my
website
and
you
can
email
me
through
my
website.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you
and
I
hope
that
this
journey
was
helpful
and
help
support
the
children
in
your
world
in
finding
mindfulness
to
help
them
with
stress
resilience
and
so
much
more
have
an
amazing
day.
