Mindfulness. Meditation. Mindful Parenting.
From the boardroom, to the classroom, to the nursery room, mindfulness is everywhere these days. But it’s not really “new.” The Buddha was teaching mindfulness 2500 years ago!
Mindfulness is about paying attention. Being present. Breathing.
Nothing “new,” except now we have a lot more data and research to let us know how beneficial these practices can be for our mental and physical health.
So in the spirit of “everything old is new again,” {and because I am out of town this week at the exciting BlogHer Conference in Chicago!}, I am sharing some of my “older” {relatively speaking} posts about mindfulness and mindful parenting. If you’ve just joined us here at Left Brain Buddha, these posts are a great place to start and learn more about the practice of mindful parenting:
Mindful Parenting: It’s Not About “Liking” It
Mindful Parenting: Practicing Mindfulness with your Children
“Mommy, Are You Paying Attention?”
Sleeping Beauties and Compassionate Parents
Baby Buddhas: Five Strategies for Teaching Mindfulness to Children
Additionally, you can view the entire “Living a Mindful Life” series here.
Enjoy ~ next week we’ll be back to our regular programming!
