Good Morning!

This morning I am not heading out to the retreat like I had planned, i will definitely be going to mediation group tomorrow though.
It is still early around our house and I haven't had any mediation time yet. My youngest son (3.5 yrs) was playing with his daddy golf club and he shot a hole in one twice!! He was very pleased with himself and so was I. Then my oldest (6 yrs) got up to try. He was sort of grumpy about it and expected to get a hole in one as well. He didn't and he was grumpy and a bit smug. This is not unusual for him. He asked why his brother could do it. I said it was because he had a light heart and was just trying to have fun. Then I left for a minute. When I came back he smiled and told me that he made his heart light by meditating and then he had fun! He also said that he has been practicing his breathing to calm himself down when he needs it.
On that note here are some great books that we read, we also have a cd with soothing background music that plays each of these stories. We use the goodnight caterpillar, The Boy And The Bear and The Boy And The Turtle. She has many other great stories too. The three we have use guided relaxation, , colors and breath work. Fantastic stuff that all children can benefit from.
