In the fast-paced world we live in today, it is crucial to empower our children to take charge of their destinies and face the challenges of life with confidence and resilience. One powerful way to achieve this is by creating sacred spaces and meditation areas right in our homes. These spaces serve as oases of focus, enchantment, and mindfulness for our little ones. In this article, we will explore the art of fostering bold, powerful, and confident kids through the creation of sacred spaces and meditation areas.

A Confident Journey Awaits

Within the sacred space, confidence blossoms like the most exquisite of flowers. Encourage your kids to set goals and celebrate each step of their journey. In moments of setbacks, remind them that even the mightiest of wizards face challenges and that their tenacity will lead them to triumph. Resilience becomes second nature as they understand that mistakes are stepping stones to growth and learning.

Creating a Sacred Altar and Meditation Space for Kids

In addition to the concept of sacred spaces, introducing a meditation area for kids can foster balance and inner peace from an early age. Choosing the right location away from distractions and involving them in the decor selection process are crucial steps. By incorporating elements from nature and age-appropriate spiritual supplies, such as affirmation cards, crystals, incense, and meditation cushions, the meditation space becomes a serene oasis that enhances their mindfulness practice.

Peaceful Colors and Themes

The choice of peaceful colors and themes in the meditation area complements the ambiance of the sacred space. Soft pastels like light blue, green, or lavender promote relaxation and harmony, while nature-inspired artwork fosters serenity.

Guided Meditations for Kids

For beginners, guided meditations specifically designed for children can be highly beneficial. These resources introduce meditation in a fun and engaging manner, helping kids become more mindful and aligned with their thoughts and emotions.

Conclusion

By combining the concepts of sacred spaces and meditation, we can create an enchanting environment that empowers our children to be bold, confident, and balanced. Embracing the magic within our homes and allowing our children to explore their inner selves will lead them on a mystical journey of self-discovery and empowerment. 

Let's shape a future where our children stride boldly into the world, armed with the tools to conquer any challenge that comes their way. The time to begin this transformative journey is now!

Does your toddler get tantrums, pick on siblings, have a hard time waiting, get too excited or restless about simple things, or act in any other extreme ways to any kind of situation? Whether your kid's strong emotions are happy, sad, mad, or anything in between, this quick and fun activity acts fast to help them gain control themselves.

Most methods out there call for the parent to gain control. We believe the child needs to keep their own power and learn to use it properly. This helps them to keep their Chi (inner power) balanced and even can help strengthen it.

Release Is Key

When emotions are so strong that the child no longer reacts to them properly, these feelings need to be released. This should be done in a way that doesn't take away their control but also doesn't harm themselves or others.

Use The Quick Technique I Call The "Ha Factor"

I came up with a fun way that helps kids release their pent up emotions, but stays in line with both my Upstream Parenting F.L.O.W. strategy, as well as helps kids keep their natural Chi.  Around here, we encourage kids to keep all of their power and are merely here as their gentle guides.

So, what is the Ha Factor?

• Step One: The child takes a deep breath, either through the mouth, nose, or both.
• Step Two: The child then uses that force to shout "Ha" as loud as they can.

That's it. Unlike yoga poses that need to be done in a very specific way, here it is important to give the child freedom on how they stand, how many times they would like to repeat the action, as well as what they do immediately after.

In the video below, watch my currently 4 year old (at the time of this writing) daughter Nova Skye use the Ha Factor in her own way. This was non-scripted. I simply asked her to use the method. Notice the immediate display of release when she hops away happily directly after. She also had freedom of choice in her outfit and whether she was interested in doing the activity. Giving your child the control is key to this technique, as well as to keeping their inner Chi intact.
