Il s'agit d'une MÉDITATION GUIDÉE créée exclusivement pour nos abonnés adolescents et adultes. Parce que pourquoi les plus jeunes devraient-ils avoir tout le plaisir avec les méditations, n'est-ce pas?
Le voyage de ce mois-ci nous emmène à travers le quartier de Bayview/Hunter's Point à San Francisco, de India Basin Park, à Bayview Hill, à Hunters Point Shipyard, en passant par Third Street et en terminant à l'Opéra de Bayview.
Profitez de cette visualisation guidée en explorant l'un des quartiers emblématiques de la ville. Découvrez de nouveaux endroits ou savourez la joie d'écouter vos lieux familiers.
Dans cette expérience apaisante, les auditeurs sont doucement guidés vers un moment de sérénité, en dirigeant leur attention sur le rythme de leur respiration tout en s'immergeant dans les tons apaisants de la méditation guidée. Parfaite pour ces moments où vous avez besoin de vous détendre, de vous restaurer et de réinitialiser votre esprit. Alors, trouvez un espace confortable, prenez une profonde inspiration et laissez cette méditation guidée être votre compagnon vers la tranquillité.

Big Belly Breathing (BBB) is an audio program primarily for kids in English and French focusing on health and wellness, started by Vanessa Hutchinson-Szekely.
As a teacher, a parent of bilingual kids & a yoga instructor/social emotional learner facilitator and holistic health & wellness coach, Vanessa wants to encourage children to thrive through establishing daily health habits.
Healthy Habits = Happy Kids

In today's busy world of multi-tasking, BBB is a place to help kids get centered, grounded and feel good. By practicing techniques learned here, kids develop their own self-care rituals, routines and habits.
These tools benefit their mind, body and heart health and set them up for greater joy in their present lives, and as adults.

Ceci est une MINI LEÇON axée sur l'importance de naviguer dans le changement - Stratégies pour des transitions douces!
Les enfants (et les adultes!) apprennent des astuces concrètes pour gérer le changement: respiration en étoile (STAR breathing), ancrage, création d'un plan de changement ou réalisation de petites actions gérables. Faites des pas pour naviguer dans le changement en toute confiance, un épisode à la fois.
Ces outils aident les enfants à se sentir plus en contrôle et moins dépassés. Ils sont encouragés à les utiliser lorsqu'ils commencent une nouvelle année scolaire, déménagent dans une nouvelle maison, une nouvelle ville ou lorsque les routines changent soudainement.
La pratique de la respiration pour ce mois est la respiration en étoile (STAR breathing) et le thème est l'Abondance.
