Mercola: Mission Be — Teaching Children Mindfulness – Interview with Carin Winter
Mercola video: In this video, I interview Carin Winter, founder and CEO of Mission Be, a nonprofit organization that brings mindfulness into schools. Mission Be was created in 2013, while Winter was a social worker at Islip High School. By then, she’d been working with adolescents for 14 years, both in the foster care system and in school settings. Mission Be, a nonprofit organization that brings mindfulness into schools, was founded in 2013 by social worker and yoga instructor Carin Winter. Mission Be’s curriculum is based on evidence-based practices like breath, movement, visualizations, affirmations, sharing circles and silent seated meditation
Ideally, meditation is connecting to an expanded state of consciousness. The mindfulness practices taught by Winter can, eventually, result in your being able to maintain a meditative state for most of the day, regardless of where you are or what you’re doing. Play is a meditative state. The purpose of meditation is to get into a timeless moment where you’re not connected to time, where your mind is not focused on the past and the future. Time basically vanishes and you’re just in the present moment. Play automatically puts us in the present moment, which is the very definition of mindfulness. Playing is also fun, and it’s near-impossible to be stressed and have fun at the same time. In many cases, what children need the most is time to play; to get lost in the “now”.
