We made "Mind Jars" today following up on the idea in the book "Moody Cow Meditates." We took water and added glycerin, then sparkle pieces and glitter. Sprinkles are angry, fearful, or frustrating thoughts and situations. We drop them into the jar, shake and watch quietly as the sparkles settle. And then our mind settles and calms. After the project we did some active movements in the dojo, i.e. jump roping and jumping jacks, and checked our heart rate (preview of February heart month). We practiced dancer pose (balancing and strength). During the last part of class, we used the yoga cards to pick out poses and yoga games to do.
