Neuroimaging studies show that mindfulness improves brain anatomy. When we pay close attention, our brain releases something called brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF)a key chemical needed for neuroplasticity. When our bodies and minds are relaxed, we naturally become more mindful of our internal and external states and take deeper breaths with more control. In our #mindsetmasters program, we teach children the value of mindfulness, positive thinking, and deep and contr...olled breathing. The earlier children are encouraged to practice these life skills, the more they will integrate them into their every day lives! Registration for our #mindsetmasters online program is open!
