We listen to a lot of ambient and meditative music. We also occasionally will meditate as a class. https://padlet.com/lostdiek/s2bosnwp3c74yh8p/wish/2625606698 2023-06-16 14:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lostdiek/s2bosnwp3c74yh8p/wish/2625606698 Brain Breaks https://padlet.com/lostdiek/s2bosnwp3c74yh8p/wish/2625606720 2023-06-16 14:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lostdiek/s2bosnwp3c74yh8p/wish/2625606720 To me, it's being aware of what is going on with my mind and body. https://padlet.com/lostdiek/s2bosnwp3c74yh8p/wish/2625606740 2023-06-16 14:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lostdiek/s2bosnwp3c74yh8p/wish/2625606740 Mindfulness to me means having an opening mind.
