Life of a Branch Activity

March 24, 2020

Warm greetings, 

Our first mindful video “Life of a Branch,” encourages us to get out, find a peace and narrow our focus away from all the uncertain, upsetting news.  The news is scary to adults and even more difficult to explain to kids. If we can help them find a place of peace outside and a reminder that the earth is not completely flipped, it will help them find their footing.  

This activity is not about avoiding the truths of COVID-19, including the need to wash our hands and social distancing while doing our best to manage the new normal of schooling at home.  But I believe we can do both! Follow what the scientists are recommending and take care of our emotional health.  

I hope the adults find a branch of their own & check on it every week.  Role modeling is the best teacher! A few minutes of centering and peace is good for all of us.  

Peace and love, 

Kelley
