BodyMind For Children
This is a new and dynamic programme which
offers teachers and parents a tool box of integrated health and exercise
systems for body, mind and spirit to share with children. Over the past ten
years an ever increasing amount of adults have been benefiting from the practices
of ancient wisdom fused with modern techniques, so, by introducing their
concepts as a fun activity for children, it means that we are giving them
a strong personal foundation and the best possible start in life.
Childhood is a vibrant time when natural energy and creativity is rising, and when the eyes and minds are open and learning can be fun, which makes it a perfect time for children to explore and enjoy these principles. However, the tendency of our fast pace society is to rush children into adulthood, brought about by the desire for them to succeed, which makes activities which are supposed to be fun hotbeds of competition with jam packed schedules, leaving no time for family and play. Teachers and parents can so often feel inadequate or under stress in the face of this present social climate and its demands. Not only does this programme give clear answers as to why this happens, but constructive ways to address all areas of life from exercise to food, from social interaction to self awareness and a need for each child to be inspired to participate, not only in the management of their energy, health and well being, but that of their peers and the planet as well.
“When I approach a child he/she inspires me in two sentiments: Tenderness for what he/she is and respect for what he may become.” (Louis Pasteur 1822-1895).
As you demonstrate and share these concepts and ideas with children you will be taking on an active role in their physical, emotional and mental wellbeing, getting them away from the television, computer and video games and helping to replace what, in excess, can be potentially harmful, with what is life enhancing, and by understanding the nature of their organs, you can show children how to unlock their inner powers and potential. Energy that is suppressed or repressed will always find an alternative way to express itself, and if blocked or misunderstood, can often take the form of a negative or inappropriate action or, if directed inwards, can compromise the health of the body. By channelling such energy and learning to respond and balance it appropriately, it can be released and redirected in a more constructive and life enhancing way.
This new approach puts them in touch with their bodies, helps them to understand how their mind works, and introduces them to the study of nature, human nature and the natural forces in and around them. the mind and bring about a sense of inner peace, self confidence and stability. We live in a world where more and more information is being thrown at us. The child in balance with solid foundations has more of an awareness of what is good and what is harmful, but still their reasoning power is often not mature enough to distinguish between someone who loves them and someone who may harm them. They may be able to repeat the information you give them but without maturity or experience be unable to apply this to a real life situation and discern what is a good situation from a bad one, which is why we use carefully thought out games and different scenarios in a creative way.
Who are the courses for: Teachers, educators, health and fitness instructors, therapists and parents, in fact anyone wishing to explore this wealth of knowledge and to support, teach, share and enhance the lives children.
