20 Apr Mindfulness Monday

Each Monday we will be sharing mindfulness exercises that you can practice with your child.

At Douglas Valley we hold mindfulness sessions for the children regularly to improve their self awareness and well being.

Happy Hum

1. Sit mindfully with your spine straight and body relaxed.
2. Close your eyes – Close your lips……..hum a few notes to yourself until you find one you like.
3. Breathe in deeply…….then with your out-breath, hum your note.
4. Breathe in, breathe out and hummmmmmmmmmmm!!
5. Press your hands to your chest to notice the vibration of your humming. What do you feel in your hand and body?
6. Let your humming send calm into your heart.
7. Before you finish, quiet your humming and take three soft, slow, mindful breaths.
