Imagine what your child could accomplish with these gifts as the foundation for his life.
The great sage, Dennis the Menace, said:
“The best thing you can do is be really good at being you!”
Each child has unique talents.
Your child has unique talents.
Imagine what a gift it would be if each child knew what their unique talents are and then could develop them.
Would you love to give your child this gift too?
Dennis the Menace might say: “The best thing you can do for your child is to help him be great at being THEM, ANYONE!”
And Mark Twain said: “Inherently, each of us has the inner substance to achieve whatever our goals and dreams define. What each of us lacks is the training, education, knowledge and insight to use what we already have. “.
You can gift your kids a significant part of this training, education, knowledge, and insight very easily by showing them how to imitate eagles, bears, dragons, gorillas, tigers, deer, and monkeys through tai chi and yogic movements and positions.
Imitation of animals was the first form of qigong ever created, long before tai chi or yoga.
Imitating animals is a safe, fun and effective way for children to maintain excellent physical and mental health that will carry them into adulthood and help them master whatever else they love to do, now and in the future.
They will get better at everything they love: computers, athletics, art, singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, science, inventing, researching, and even studying.
A third grader said, “Tai chi cleanses my body and helps me with my work.”
Studies show that children who practice various yoga and tai chi programs do better in school and become more proficient in basic learning skills.
A third-grade teacher in the United States said, “I feel that the deep breathing, flexibility, balance, and coordination they experienced while practicing tai chi increased their physical and mental well-being and improved their learning! They returned to class in a positive way! , confident. and focused. “
A fifth grader, who failed math because of his inability to concentrate, said, “Well, I do exactly what you said when I can’t remember the answer to the math test. I sit very still, I focus on the energy ball in my abdomen. ., I take 5 breaths, and then I will know the answer. “
As your children master the various movements and poses of their favorite animal, they develop an unwavering sense of confidence and accomplishment.
These are profound gifts that they can bring to the world one day when they too become parents, doctors, singers, business professionals, adventurers, farmers, policemen, clowns, pilots, astronauts, or whatever else they choose.
While having fun pretending to be their favorite animal, your children naturally and easily develop their minds and bodies, learn social and behavioral skills, connect their inner world with the outer world, and absorb values and habits that will serve them throughout their lives. life.
As they imitate animals, their children embody the joy, courage, strength, love, and inner power of animals. They are embracing the agility, poise, patience, focus and freedom that their furry friends have fun with. They are effortlessly acquiring grace, alertness, calm, and the natural, robust health of the animals.
Imitating and moving like animals in these special forms of yoga and tai chi can help your children discover and develop their own unique imaginations and creative abilities.
Albert Einstein said: “Imagination is everything, more important than knowledge.It’s the foretaste of life’s next attractions. ”
Imagination, attention span, power of concentration, and memory will become stronger and stronger as your child increases and stabilizes his or her own internal energy or chi.
Retouching like animals helps to integrate the mind and body, balancing the left and right sides of the brain, increasing your child’s ability to handle stress.
Children are the embodiment of change, and change can be very stressful.
The proven stress-relieving qualities of frolicking like animals create a wonderful sanctuary amid the hectic schedules of play dates, school, and extracurricular activities, as well as the many terrifying encounters children face.
Zac, a fifth grader, says, “I enjoy tai chi. It’s relaxing and fun.”
Retouching helps children calm down and become more aware of what is going on within them. Children learn to listen to the messages their bodies send them.
A third grader says, “Tai chi relaxes and stretches both sides of the body. It makes your body nice and calm.”
Playing and pretending to be a powerful animal builds self-confidence and teaches your children that true strength comes from awareness of themselves and their environment.
Children are inundated with images of aggression: television, movies, wrestling, news, video games, cartoons, and much more. Rather than teaching your children to fight, animal games show them how to control their body and mind, how to stay away from harmful situations, and how not to hurt themselves by giving in.
Children learn that they can overcome obstacles like water in a stream and still be as powerful as a great flood. May they experience the relaxation of a cat while remaining alert and capable of super fast reactions.
Pretending to be an eagle, a deer, a tiger, a monkey, a gorilla, a dragon, and a bear instills real values of inner peace versus haste and worry, assertiveness versus aggression, humility versus arrogance, and joy versus perfection.
The calm, concentration, and focus that come from animal play also make this unique program a wonderful complementary therapy for treating attention deficit disorder.
Doctors Edward Hallowell and John Ratey, experts in the management of ADD, wrote: “Exercise is positively one of the best treatments for ADD. It helps to eliminate excess energy and aggression in a positive way, it allows the reduction of noise in the mind, stimulates the hormonal and neurochemical systems in the most therapeutic way, and calms and calms the body. “
Playing animals like these special t’ai chi and yoga animals helps your children tap into and focus their vibrant but often scattered energies.
Abbey, a second grader, agrees when she says, “Tai chi quietly calms my body.”
And Rebekah, 9, also confirmed this by saying that she felt “calm and relaxed” after romping like animals.
Albert Einstein also said: “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.”
In my experience, animal games contain many mysterious and incredible gifts for you and your children to discover and unwrap for years to come.
In addition to some of the benefits mentioned above, animal games can generate sensations like the thousands of tiny bubbles that appear when a bottle of champagne or 7 is opened in each of the cells of the body.
Remember how those fizzy bubbles feel when they slide down your throat? Now, imagine that feeling goes on and on, non-stop, in every cell of your body simultaneously.
Sometimes those feelings can get much stronger, like you’re a rocket on a launch pad in those moments between power-up and lift-off.
Moving like a t’ai chi or yoga animal can also leave your mind almost completely free of unproductive thoughts. Free to savor the remarkable sensations that throb in your body. Free to experience yourself as one with others, nature and the Source of all Life.
Some of these benefits can be experienced immediately. And, with many years of practice, they become our normal, everyday waking experience. But, just like the most delicious dessert, you can only savor and savor the limitless treasures of frolicking like a magnificent animal digging.
Retouching will naturally nourish a child’s body, mind, and spirit, just as sunlight, earth, and water will magically nourish a rosebud. They make people shine from within, generating a smile that comes from a heart full of gratitude and compassion.
Retouching helps people of all ages stay physically healthy and mentally happy.
Fear, pain, anger, addictions, anxiety, depression, procrastination, and greed flee from people who frolic with animals.
A constant practice of playing as these special t’ai chi and yoga animals can help your children, you, and your entire family feel better than you ever imagined.
Galileo said: “You can’t teach people anything. You can only help them discover it within themselves.”
