so nice learning this method. I teach Physical Education (first grade, elementary school) and developing flexible attention in this manner before the lesson I think it will help the children a lot to focus on their exercise and listen and execute an instruction faster and easier.
Thank you so much for the wonderfully dynamic body scan practice. I know all the students will enjoy, engage, learn and share this significantly focus enhancing practice.
I love this concept and plan on sharing this with my counselors and teachers for our kindergarten students! I’ve already started using some of the things I’ve learned from the mindfulness summit!
Really love your ideas. I work in special education and sometimes it is hard to find ways to make activities accessible for the wide range of abilities in my classroom. I look forward to trying some of your activities with my students. Thank you:)

I’m scared of insects and can’t imagine relaxing or paying attention after imagining a butterfly….
