Meditation for Parents - Headspace App - Try it for free

27/3/2020

0 Comments

 

Most parents will think, No way, there's no time for meditation in my life - and given how all-consuming and overwhelming parenting can often be, I can understand why. 

And yet, if we consider the numerous benefits of meditation — of finding a little more spaciousness in our minds to be less reactive and more responsive; of learning what it means to be more present and engaged with our kids — then meditation can be viewed as an effective, rewarding parenting tool

Imagine the positive impact for the entire household, of being calmer, softer, more compassionate, and more content … and you need only meditate for as little as 10minutes a day.

Headspace is practical and designed to fit into our busy, stressful lives.  Andy, the guy who created it and narrates the meditations is very easy to listen too! 

Give it a go...it might just help a little! 

Sign up for free here:
https://www.headspace.com/subscriptions
​
Or watch a few YouTube videos if you're curious: Headspace YouTube Channel
