Linda Ryden shares her experience teaching mindfulness since 2003 and how this led her to launch her non-profit organization, Peace of Mind. Linda’s work helps children apply mindfulness and neuroscience to notice and manage their emotions, build positive relationships, and skillfully handle real-life challenges like conflict resolution, bullying, implicit bias and racial, gender and other sorts of discrimination. Linda believes in the transformative power of mindfulness to help children become happier, more successful human beings who care about themselves, about each other, and about making the world a more fair and just home for us all. In this conversation, we discuss how her time teaching mindfulness has allowed her to fully embody the practices in her daily life. In this episode you will learn: The brain science around the amygdala, the hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex, and how this knowledge can help you understand how to manage your emotions How to use metacognition to recognize your state of being, emotions, and how to use these skills in your daily life to become a better educator and/or leader The importance of integrating brain science with mindfulness practices How love is a radical act that can change the world and how to use simple compassion practices to move in this direction How she teaches 700 kids a day and uses mindfulness practices throughout her day to remain calm and effective and greatly improves her practice as an educator The basics of meditation and how there is no right or wrong way to practice Linda also shares great resources for you to review further: https://drdansiegel.com/ https://jeffwarren.org/ https://www.amazon.com/Mindfulness-Teachers-Productivity-Classroom-Neuroscience/dp/0393708071 a book by Tish Jennings How to find Linda https://teachpeaceofmind.org/ https://www.facebook.com/peaceofminddc, https://www.instagram.com/TeachPeaceofMind/, https://twitter.com/peaceofmindorg David’s mission is to reach as many education changemakers as possible to help them be the changemaker they have always desired to be.
