Every Thought is a Wish

Today we learned that our mind is like the Wish Fulfilling Tree and that every thought is a wish.   So just like the farmer in the story, if we wish for good things we will attract good things and if we are negative then that's what we end up attracting.

We then explored how a tree grows through various Yoga poses.  We swayed to the wind, drooped down low when it rained and then finally grew into big strong trees and worked on our balance.

Throughout the class, we observed our breath and practiced balloon breathing.   

We also got to do some reflection with the older kids on how every thought can be a wish and drew our own Wish Fulfilling Tree and shared some of our own wishes. 

Last, we ended our class by sending friendly wishes to children everywhere around the world and relaxing our minds and bodies. 

Home Activity:  Ask your child to share the Story of the Wish Fulfilling Tree with you and as a family create your own tree, where you can post your wishes.
