So, my first mindfulness practice is in the books, and to say it went well would be an understatement. For this week I chose to do a lead mindfulness meditation from a website called insight timer it is completely free and has an array of different types of meditations. I chose to do this meditation three days in a row to see if it continued to benefit me, and it did!
It usually takes everything in me to sit still for longer than 10 minutes straight, but there was something so calming about this meditation that just sent me straight into a world of pure relaxation, resulting in me losing track of time. Having found such comfort in this meditation I could see myself implementing this practice as well as other meditations into my weekly routine, to help me disconnect myself from some of life’s stressors, so I can reconnect and bring myself back to a mindful state! In addition, I could also see myself in the future using guided meditations in my classroom to help bring relaxation to my student’s everyday busy lifestyles. I have found many different children meditations on insight timer and have listened to them myself; I could see them positively benefiting my future students!
