“Where did we ever get the crazy idea that in order to make children do better, first we have to make them feel worse?” Jane Nelsen
Creativity, Joy and Relaxation
The project is a response to the search for innovative and unique methods to promote the development of children.
It is also recognized that the techniques of relaxation contribute to the life of the family, mothers, fathers and also people who work with children can experience the benefits of our proposal.
An example from the workshop: children ad adolescents participate in a relaxation session and a meditative concert with the sounds of our instruments, gaining the following benefits:
tranquility
development of active listening
improvement of concentration and creativity
encouragement of imagination through surprising, harmonic melodies
I apply the techniques of mindfulness meditation.
The first part of the workshop: here I apply the games that connect with GRATITUDE and LOVE, basic breathing exercises and LAUGHTER yoga that allow to create the union between the participants.
The second part of the workshop. The sound of the Gong is the sound of Creativity itself and allows the children to easily create the sounds.
Children experience the sounds and divided in groups prepare mini-concerts for another group, develop their empathy towards others, take action, feel like creators, artists and responsible, give and receive the sound massage.
The Gong is a flexible instrument. It collaborates very well with other activities. Gong contributes to a good start, development or closure of activities such as painting workshops, creation of recycled musical instruments, plays, sports, workshops related to speech therapy, psychological workshops and various types of art.
