The mindfulness jar is a very good tool that can help us to express our feelings. The glitter in the jar represents our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. When we feel upset or angry, we can shake the jar and watch the glitter move around before gradually settling. As the glitter settles to the bottom of jar, we can relate that to our mind settling too. The cultivation of stillness after the swirling and chaos subside is quite effective.

These jars can also be used as a visual timer for short mindful breathing exercises. Many people prefer to take a few breaks during the day to gather themselves and depart from their everyday tasks.Using a mindfulness jar to time these shorts breaks is a great way to allow yourself to focus on the break and relax.

Have a lovely mindful day!!
