Today the Lunchers learned "conscious breathing" meditation with Mrs. Harmsen (mother of Ana '13) during guidance class. They practiced breathing exercises to become calm, peaceful, and loving to self. That will help them feel able to reach out and be kind to others! Mrs. Harmsen recommended practicing five minutes of breathing before bed--breathing in the good things that happened during the day and exhaling any "bad stuff." A little quiet music is helpful for "mindfulness." She also suggested using the red lights on the way to school as a reminder to look at the sky and practice their breathing enroute to help get ready for the day. In this busy world, meditation/breathing helps us all handle life's "little bumps" with flexibility and thoughtfulness. Breathe!
