Mindfulness Relaxation

This Sunday, we very glad that to have Dr Pang with us in sharing some skills of mindfulness relaxation.Nowadays life is quite stressful either in adult age or children.Everyday,children need to face with a lot of challenges( homework, tuition,extra-co curriculum).

So Dr Pang today get us to do some light relaxation activities that related to stressing and relax our body muscle with the control of breathing.

After some short sharing, we get to do some practical.We started from our hands, head, legs and finally notice the movement of the stomach when we are breathing.

  2. Superman--pose like superman.Count to 10 and relax
  3. Turtle--Make you head into your sholuder like the turtle.Count to 10 and relax.
  4. Hold the ceiling--Imagine the ceiling is falling down and you hold it from the bottom with both of you arm straighthen.....count to 10 and relax

Mouth(all bout making the sound)

  1. A--making the A sound with you mouth open wide.Need to feel the stress of the muscle on you face.Count to 10 and relax
  2. O--making the sound of O and count to 10 then relax
