Pearls of Wisdom

Mastery Practice Tool

Step 1: Play with the following exercise. It can be very powerful.

- If you are a parent, imagine your child.

- If you have an animal, imagine your pet.

- If you love sunsets, imagine the sunset.

- If you love the ocean, trees, Pilates, standing on your head, then imagine this.

Now let the love you feel for it, flow towards it. It’s a great feeling. Just open up your heart and feel the love you have for this special being or person. Take a moment to feel your love for something that opens your heart.

Step 2: Now take that beautiful heart-felt feeling and give it to yourself. Let yourself receive it. That warm feeling of appreciation, of love, let yourself receive it and feel it. It’s your own valentine.

Resistance may come in. Just pause and breathe and stay with the exercise.

Testimonial

Bev's Laughing and Breathing Belly Workshop for Children was one of the best I have attended. She has a gifted ability to gently connect with children and teach and share with them her techniques of belly breathing, rooting, mind vacations and laughter. These techniques soothe and calm them whenever they feel overwhelmed or anxious - be at school, home or before bed time. Whether you have an overwhelmed pre-schooler or a test-anxious pre-teen, Bev's approach works! I love that she gave parents the tools to model and share these fundamentals of meditation with their children. I would encourage families to take her course...your children will thank you and you will benefit from ways to keep yourself calm and allow wisdom in.
