In The Den we have been learning about Mindfulness.
Mindfulness is “The practice of being aware of your body, mind, and feelings in the present moment, thought to create a feeling of calm.”
To create this feeling of calm we close the blinds, find a space to lie on a beanbag on the floor, turn off the light and listen to calming music. We also practise our deep breathing. We finish the session by having a big stretch and each of us says something positive that has happened so far that day. This helps us to go back to class feeling calm and positive.
