Take a deep breath
In this day and age we may often find that our children are showing more and more signs of stress and dysfunctional behaviour.
he statistics for Autism, ADHD, and a whole host of behavioural issues are on the rise. We may see our children behaving in ways which we feel are inappropriate. We may observe our children being introverted, angry or downright difficult.
As a parent we want to support our children. We not only want to help them grow into strong, functional, well adjusted adults but we want them to experience a childhood of being childlike and carefree.
So what can we do to assist our kids?
Well just like they learn English and math at school, kids need to develop skills to relieve stress.
If we teach our children that there are ways to deal positively with stress, then we are teaching them the gift of resilience and flexibility.
Here are a few tips to introduce meditation skills into their day and help them to cope with issues and situations that may arise due to stress.
- Get them to sit and close their eyes as you take them through a guided visualization .This could be a walk in a beautiful forest, a journey to a magical land or a ride in a hot air balloon.
- If your child seems to be getting angry, put on some calming music and sit with your child and listen to the music. You might even try some deep breathing.
- If your child is getting worked up or stressed, create a practice together where you burn some essential oils or incense and light a candle. Focus your intention on creating a relaxing environment. This not only helps your child but will help you too!
- Encourage your kids to take their own time out. Teach your child to recognize when they are getting worked up and suggest they sit quietly for a while or listen to some calm music.
There are a wide range of products on the market these days to help your child to find peace and calm in their day. I suggest Indigo Dreaming by Amy Hamilton which comes in either book or CD and has a wonderful array of beautiful, short meditations to calm and relax your child.
Children are our little seeds of the future. Nurture them well now and they will grow strong and solid with beautiful roots to anchor them!

Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique
Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique (EECT) is a hands-on technique based on an Ancient Egyptian ritual for cleansing negativity and elevating awareness. This gentle yet powerful technique uses therapeutic grade essential oils and other bodywork techniques to promote a deep and sacred state of connection. Why it works: Did you know that your sense of smell accesses the limbic system of the brain, where emotional memories and trauma is stored? Because of their aroma, therapeutic grade essential oils exert a powerful balancing effect on the emotions. There is no “set” response when you receive an Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique. Each time the technique is received, the experiences will be different. The most common outcomes to this technique are an intense state of clarity around current issues, the gentle release of issues that are causing emotional and physical challenges, and feelings of emotional bliss and heightened awareness.
