Holding Space For Ourselves and our Youth

In this episode of Here in the Now Podcast, JG Larochette talks about what holding space for self and youth can look like with a mindfulness and compassion practice. As educators, we are constantly holding and creating space with our youth but often we get caught up in the assessing the external world/the class and forget to be consistently checking in on the internal world/our self and what is arising moment to moment. Today the practice to help us in creating more space and for ourselves and for our youth is mindful emotions, the awareness of emotions as they arise with a deep welcoming/befriending. The more we cultivate awareness of our emotions and bring compassion and understanding the more we can be able to create and hold space with others. We hope you enjoy!
