Meditation is not something you can only do alone, in a quiet room, with the right incense and when everything has aligned for you. Meditation means to look within, to be aware of yourself, to quiet down your mind and be in stillness, live in the true present moment...and we can accomplish this while being with our kids. Meditation can happen while you're on-the-go, while you're cooking or cleaning, running, going out for a walk or playing at home with your kids. And learning how to quiet down your mind when life is full on is one of the best skills you can master. It will allow you to stay calm when your children are upset, it will allow you to stop an argument before you say things you might regret, it will allow you to choose happiness over conflict and it will make you feel better about yourself and about your life because you will be in tune with yourself.
