Healing and Children

For some time, Ive been thinking about and feeling drawn to work with children. I pull a card daily and this one above of Damara, comes up often and yet I’ve been perplexed as I feel well, how will work with children. For awhile I have wanted to teach children yoga and mindfulness as tools that can really help them (I’ve seen it happen.) Both modalities help them deal with anger, stress, anxiety and self-esteem. And it’s amazing to see their faces post-practice of either yoga with relaxation or meditation. Both of which I taught to little kids (so cute.) And I’ve also taught to teenagers and college age, and really enjoyed it! So still in my new part of the world-Western Mass, I hadn’t figured out how to be of service.
But the card keeps coming. So today it became clear. I am going to start working with children as part of my shiatsu bodywork practice! Once that became clear-so many ideas began to fall into place. I’ll follow up more on this in next few days, and am working on a web site where I will give details about this. A website and a blog, wheew, I guess the website is more static information on my work. And the blog can be more fun and spontaneous and cover misc. musings!
I was so inspired at the plan to work with children and healing, that I immediately was drawn to take some photo’s for my web page. Out of many lesser shots, I’ve chosen and edited these two. Children and creativity-such blessings!
