Little one, Listen to your body!
Todays opening game was to form pairs according to a song and then freeze in a formation according to the suggestion in song, touching random body parts and forming a stable structure.
Does our mind inform our body more, or is it vice
versa? Consider also, that – mind is, what body does.
Our body keeps communicating to us through
sensations – touch, pressure, tingling, tastes, vision.. in fact if you close
your eyes and pay attention to your body, you can see it is nothing but a cloud
of these experiences. Unless you can make sense of it, know it and manage this
huge drama, you will most often be a puppet playing at the strings of these
same sensations without even realizing it.
How can we enable our little ones to slow down and
start looking at these visceral experiences? Todays exercise was targeted at
the same. Can they decipher what their body is whispering to them? It is
important to listen, it is equally important to communicate. They tried, and
when they succeeded at the end of multiple attempts, it was a moment of
exhilaration for them!
