20.01.2022 How has MTM impacted the class and learning? "The MTM program has positively impacted the classroom environment. Students have learnt to articulate their feelings and have appeared much calmer while in the classroom. I have noticed that student’s ability to remain still has increased during the program. During literacy blocks, I will often use a mindfulness session as a ‘brain break’, which helps their learning and something that they look forward to. Implementing the MTM pro...gram within the class has begun wonderful dialogue and awareness of tension within the body, flexibility and mental health.' -Clapham Primary Book your Professional Development Day- Contact us! https://masterthemountain.net/professional-development/

20.01.2022 Why teach mindfulness in schools? There have been links of mindfulness to two core social-emotional skills: self-regulation and self-awareness. Skills in these areas teach students not only how to recognise their thoughts, emotions, and actions, but also how to react to them in positive ways. Activities such as colouring has the ability to relax the fear portion of your brain, the amygdala. It induces the same state as meditating by reducing the thoughts of a restless mind. ...This generates mindfulness & quietness, which allows the mind to get some rest. Benefits of colouring: Enhances fine motor development Improves hand-eye co-ordination Develops spatial awareness Builds concentration & focus Relaxes & releases emotions Teaches colour & shape recognition For more tips & news or to see the services that we offer, please visit: https://www.masterthemountain.net/ #masterthemountain

18.01.2022 "Practicing yoga is important for kids for many of the same reasons it is important for adults. Yoga helps kids to relax, relieve stress and anxiety, sleep better, improve emotional regulation, increase empathy, and improve mood and affect. Practicing yoga with kids also teaches them how to be more mindful, which happens to be just one of the many ways in which we can teach mindfulness to kids."

14.01.2022 I meet a lot of amazing kids in my work. But you know you sometimes meet a child who finds their way into your heart at first sight? Well, Archer was one of them. I first met Archer towards the end of 2015, when I was a speech therapist by day and a yoga teacher by night. At 3 years old, he just radiated warmth and love. Archer was born with very low muscle tone, so he couldn’t feed properly and was prone to pneumonia and other respiratory diseases. He had eating issues and w...as prone to aspirating liquids, so he was being fed thickened fluids through a feeding tube. Because Archer had spent a lot of his early years in hospital, his speech and language development was very limited. He was over three years old but he had severe language delays and was struggling to sit still and focus on anything. Through a combination of speech therapy and yoga, he is doing brilliantly now! Archer has helped me believe in myself, and shone a light on the magic than can happen when you combine speech and language therapy with yoga. Above all, he’s taught me that perseverance and a positive attitude can get you anywhere.

13.01.2022 Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forward. - Kierkegaard In life, we end up deep diving and getting caught up in our trauma, pain, hope and suffering. However, too often we pour so much energy and effort into trying to fix things for our happiness that we let life and the little things pass us by. ... By learning to experience life as it is, you’ll realise that you never really have the answers; but when you look back, life will have answers for you. http://www.masterthemountain.net #MasterTheMountain #winniethepoohquotes #winniethepooh

Despite the challenges that this year has thrown at us, we all hope that you are able to celebrate a safe and happy New Year! #masterthemountain ...

Give freely, forgive willingly, laugh easily and live well enough to be grateful for everyday. - Life's a Dance - Margaret M. Painter

06.01.2022 What is a Mantra? A mantra is a word or a short phrase that you can repeat silently in your mind or out loud to jam or put aside any internal dialogue that is not useful or even destructive to the moment. You do not need to be seated in a perfect meditation position, or at yoga to use a mantra. It is an extremely powerful & useful tool that can be incorporated into everyday life. ... You can use a mantra whenever you feel stressed, tense, have monkey mind, or if you want to relax. Maybe if you are stuck in traffic, or in a line and you feel emotions bubbling up.... This mindset usually leads to that string of thoughts that continue to trigger negative emotions. Try breaking that cycle with a mantra: Peace & Love Inhale, Exhale I feel, I exist So, Hum (Sanskrit for I am) Learn more about Mantras: https://masterthemountain.net/a-mantra-to-use-whenever-you/ #masterthemountain #mantra #mantras

02.01.2022 With the new year just a couple days away, it's nice to do a bit of self-reflection and set some intentions for the new year. Take a look back at 2020 and ask yourself these questions: What highlights and favourite moments stand out as experiences I want to recreate?Why?... What relationships were most meaningful? What were some accomplishments or things that made me proud? What are some things that made me smile and laugh? What did I regret, and why? Can I rid of these things that do not serve me? Remember that whilst change doesn’t happen overnight, transformation begins with self-awareness. By tuning your attention into habits you’d like to change, take a deeper look to examine what is currently sustaining these habits; how can you work to change them? #masterthemountain #morganharpernichols

01.01.2022 I love teaching this mantra meditation to teachers, parents and children in the classroom (they love it!). It’s simple and so effective. It’s also a great meditation you can practise incognito when you need to. I must say I have used it waiting in lines and traffic when I have felt the stress creep in. The theme I noticed from this activity, as well as my own teaching and practising, is that the majority of our thoughts are in the future or in the past. This can lead to stres...s, anxiety and other negative emotions. When we learn to focus our thoughts and attention on the now, in the present moment, we can access a state of calm and relaxation. We can learn to release thoughts and emotions more easily and faster so they don’t affect us as much. One of the best mantras to use with children is ‘Peace begins with me.’ This mantra is paired with a movement of the fingers. Rest the back of your hands on your lap, palms up to the ceiling. As you touch your index finger to your thumb say ‘peace,’ your middle finger to the thumb say ‘begins,’ your ring finger to the thumb say ‘with’ and your little finger with your little finger say ‘me.’ It’s a great meditation for children because they have a physical movement to focus on paired with a mantra. This is usually easier than trying to stay completely still and observing sounds, thoughts or bodily sensations. If you are teaching this to children, in a classroom or group setting, start by saying the mantra out loud together for a minute or so before prompting everyone to repeat it silently in their mind. Just like the video. Hold your hands up in the air to show everyone the movements of the fingers as you repeat the mantra out loud with them. You can give everyone an option to close their eyes, if it feels comfortable for them, as they repeat the mantra silently. This can help eliminate visual distractions. Start with 1-2 minutes and increase the time of the meditation as the group is ready. Every second counts. We would love to hear about when you used this meditation for yourself or with children. It can be a great way to cope with stress at work, school or home. Leave a comment below and let us know. https://masterthemountain.net/a-mantra-meditation-that-chi/ #MasterTheMountain
