Heart & Mind: Meet A New Friend

The best gift we can give our kids is teaching them how to release heavy emotions!

Hello, Readers!

The goal of this book is to introduce to children the concept of awareness and how it can be used in everyday life. 

Awareness helps us understand and neutralize situations, allowing them to feel less personal. Unconscious patterns like bullying, judgment, and anger become conscious as our awareness grows. As the saying goes, “hurt people hurt people.” When awareness grows, and we become conscious of our emotions, we are more able to transcend behaviors that cause us (or others) to be hurt.

Another word for awareness is presence. Heavy emotions (stormy clouds) come and go, and becoming more aware or present will help the emotions pass without allowing children to label  themselves as the manifested emotion (e.g. “I am an angry person”). Additionally, they will realize that even when experiencing a heavy emotion, they are still loved by their own heart, and by others, leading to increased emotional resilience. They will still be okay during and after a major emotional storm.

As kids are learning how to function in this world, the best gift we can give them is the space to be, especially when they are feeling anger, grief, or rejection. When we can be completely present with them, it helps children see that there isn’t anything wrong with having an emotion. When we don’t react personally to their storm, they will learn that they can remain aware of the emotion on a feeling level (Where is the feeling? What does it feel like?) before it turns into anxious thinking. It’s the emotion that feels scariest to the child and to us. Our awareness can help us see that there is nothing to be afraid of and nothing wrong with us for experiencing these feelings. 

I hope you and your loved ones have enjoyed this second book in my series! They help spread the message that feelings are not bad; you are allowed to feel them fully; and they will eventually always pass. With or without a heavy emotion, you are unconditionally loved, always. 

Love,

Nishi
