Editor’s Note from Eden Kozlowski: Whatever name you give it... meditation, mindfulness, awareness, or stress reduction techniques... it works. It not only works, it rocks. David Lynch states in this video, "When you see it, you say, 'How come this isn't everywhere?'" I ask this question, too, everyday. Still there are so many road blocks, and I get another chance to work on patience.

Currently, I am spending the majority of my time speaking to educate parents and others on what this practice can do and how it is totally ok for everyone. Find people in your area who do this work. Ask them to tell you more. If you have concerns, present them. Let's dismantle the concerns so together we become a true community, and together we make some amazing changes to our schools and our communities and our LIVES!

Editor's Note from Brooke Nisbet: A peaceful private school in Iowa that incorporates mindfulness, yoga and transcendental meditation as an integral and required part of every day. This schools shows measured success in lowered student stress, better tests scores, more creativity and much more. Have a look to find out more! Namaste!

Yoga

Editor's Note from Carol Lawrence & Stacy Toten: Sir Ken Robinson states eloquently how our warped educational system is educating children out of their creative capacities. Through excellent intelligent examples he shares story after story of brilliant creativity and how powerful it is when it is allowed to be unleashed. We could have possibly lost a famous woman who produced some of the world's most successful musical theater productions in history if she would have been medicated like first suggested. We fully resonate with his case for creating an educational system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.

Family & Parenting

Editor’s Note from Eden Kozlowski: Powerful video. Watch it if you want more from your schools... I challenge you to ask them about bringing mindfulness programs into their curriculum. Let's make an awesome, uplifting change! It's so easy... it's almost crazy.
