S7 | E72 The Importance of Teaching Mindfulness, Meditation & Breath Work to Our Children with Natalie von Teichman


Listen Later

During the COVID-19 pandemic Natalie found herself being Canada’s 29th case… Her isolation period gave Natalie an even wider depth of insight around how to deal with situations that are beyond our control and the trauma it can play on us mentally.  Her positive outlook by searching for silver linings through gratitude and mindset shifts, is something that she hopes she can help others with as they navigate the new and challenging environment that we live in today. 

 

Natalie is the mother of 4 boys and made it her mission to give children the tools needed to meditate. Natalie created MediTATE the meditation bear and she’s breaking down how meditation benefits children of all ages.

 

Natalie Shares:

  1. Hearing versus feeling (why is it important PRACTICE mental fitness, calmness, deep breaths...) and understanding this in terms of physical activities vs mental activities. 
  • Expectations around meditation in children -- what is the goal here and why meditation/mindfulness is actually a language that is easier taught when you are young!
  • All about mediTATE (TATE) and how it is completely different from any other tool that exists on the market for children's mental fitness. This includes:
  • a) The content (what types of meditation stories will you get with miindfully)

    b) The fully sensory experience (olfactory, auditory, visual, tactile) and why this is essential to help children engage in learning about their "inside body",

    c) Why having a friend who is unique to YOU, is a wonderful way to feel grounded, loved, calm and centered. Especially in times of isolation.
