Gut-healing meditation (13 minutes): this meditation is focused towards building a healthy gut microbiome, something often overlooked. In this video, there is a good amount of strategically elongated breath work at use, as well as use of imagery of the nervous system and energy. This video puts into better perspective how our body works and how to heal our gut holistically.

Yoga nidra (30 minutes): this yoga nidra video is meant for those in need of a deeper sleep. This could be great for traveling or just anytime that sleeping might be a challenge. There is a great focus on reaching complete comfort, as well as calming the nervous system and letting our subconscious mind take power over our bodies. Very descriptive on the parts of the body, mental relaxation using landscapes and stars.

 By: Jayla Balderas  Today was our last day of the term! We started the morning working on the final presentation for next week when we welcomed our peers and parents to see what we learned. This presentation allowed us to reflect on what we have covered and our key takeaways. My reflection was the different creative mindfulness-based activities in the last two weeks, such as Metta Stones, Sand Manadalas, Zen Gardens, and Zentangles. My favorite creative activity was my Mandala coloring book. This is a great activity to ease anxiety and tension, and I used this coloring book throughout the week and during our breaks. Other students worked in the coloring books during student presentations, a great way to focus on what our peers were saying while we colored.  After working on our Google slide show, we chose three meditations from the meditation resource page. We did a five-minute meditation that you can do from anywhere at any time of the day. I enjoyed this five-minute me...

  By Veronica Pascucci Today, we started the day by welcoming in Dr. Reese for our last yoga session of the term. The day before, we had been advised to bring two pillows and a blanket from home for what she called “Restorative Yoga” which is exactly what we did this morning. The restorative yoga practice involves doing a few calm positions that we had already done prior to this session, but this time, with extra padding and support given to our head and back by our yoga blocks and pillows. Restorative yoga helps us to scan and relax our entire body, and it helps all of us get a nice break before starting the day. Many students said they had fallen asleep during it. We said our last goodbye to Dr. Reese for this course, and we took a little break before starting our first intellectual activity.  The rest of our morning was spent either finishing up our sand mandalas from yesterday or reading our chosen book for the week. Mainly everyone had finished theirs, so all of us had th...

    What a wonderful way to end our second day of mindfulness! First thing in the morning, as students trickled into the classroom, we colored in our newly-acquired mandala coloring books. Beginning with such a calming activity was a great way to get our creativity flowing and settle our minds before starting with some more academic tasks. Our first activity was reading a book from our selection of either You Belong, by Sebene Selassie, or Mindful of Race, by Ruth King. After reading for 15 minutes, we did a check-in and seated stretch to ensure we were working with the utmost quality. After another 15 minutes of reading, those who read each respective book had a 10-minute seminar amongst those who read their same book. After the individual seminars, both groups joined together to discuss the big takeaways from the book.      Students then got to explore the magic of zen gardens, crafting their very own with boxes, sand, small decorations, and tools. This was an...
