L&K Bodyscan: Gratitude Practice Parenting with Gratitude™
-
- Parenting
Another evidence-based practice, but this week, we will give our Mom Brains a rest and look at the messages our bodies are trying to tell us. How can we give ourselves the thanks and appreciation we deserve while also training our brains to notice the somatic cues that can be easily ignored? Well, I wrote the book on this one - literally. My children's book was our inspiration today - and our practice: A Love and Kindness Bodyscan.
In my book, The Middle of the Night Book, I introduce a body scan meditation to help babies and toddlers develop the skill of body awareness. When you are aware of the cues your body is trying to tell you, it's much easier to notice when you are tired, or for us moms, when we are sad, or even more subtle, feeling a little uncomfortable or disingenuous or lonely.
I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think on Instagram!
More on my book, The Middle of the Night Book, here.
More on Somatic Therapy here.
Save the Date for the ‘Parent’s Day of Rest’ on December 21st, where parents all over the country will pause and take the day to themselves right amid the hustle and bustle of the holidays.
