She blows me away. Truly. It's not that she spends long periods of time in deep meditation, its that she uses meditation appropriatetly as a tool when it's needed....
For example, she was struggling to make a decision a few months back and announced "I will meditate"! She laid down on the floor, closed her eyes, and about 5 minutes later stood up and proclaimed the decision she had made with fierce confidence.
My sweet Stara is 6, approaching 7. She has been through a lot in her few years, which has made her wise beyond those years. She has known suffering, she has known joy, she has known busy and she has known still. Most importantly, She knows herself. There is such beauty in that!
In this photo we were visiting Casa de Luz in Austin, Texas and she found a meditation garden. With absolute joy, she sat down to be with herself and I instantly jumped to capture the beautiful moment. I am so glad I did, because this photo makes my heart sing.
Today I needed this reminder, sometimes I still get trapped in old energetic patterns and today was no exception. I spun out and behaved in ways I wish I had not. I used words I wish I had not. I felt feelings I wish I had not...
I am so sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you. Ho'ohponopono
I can wish the experience away... or, I can joyfully take a moment to be with myself and reflect on the lessons of today. With GRATITUDE! Ultimately, this photo reminded me to smile, to be still, and helped me to snap out of a funk.
I love you Stara.

thats so great, teaching children meditation and having them experience it themselves is great for them to calm and ease some of their cloudy minds. Great lesson to teach to the kids!
