Heroes Circle Powered By Kids Kicking Cancer Podcast

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, for whatever reason, and then find yourself not be able to get back to sleep? Follow along with Sensei Liam, of our London, Ontario, Canada program, as he teaches us to breathe in the light and blow out the darkness, and helps us drift back to sleep. Power, Peace, Purpose

The colder weather can bring on a lot of negative feelings. The days get shorter and we tend to go outside less, getting less sunlight and exercise. Can it really be just in our mind? The Body Scan is a Martial Arts Meditation Technique that teaches us to relax each and every part of our bodies separately, letting them fade, and allowing our minds to follow. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heroes-circle/support

In the most difficult of situations, our breath and how we control it can be our most powerful tool, or a great adversary. Learn from Sensei Lynn how the children of Kids Kicking Cancer and the Heroes Circle use their breath to fight through all sorts of darkness - and how you can, too. The Body Scan is a Martial Arts Meditation Technique that teaches us to relax each and every part of our bodies separately, letting them fade, and allowing our mind to follow.

Stressors, both internally and externally, can create chaos in the mind, sometimes paving the way for poor judgement and rash decision-making. These stressors stretched over periods of time can even be detrimental to our health. A calm and controlled mind is a key to really being able to push onward in a clear, intentional way. But how do we achieve that?

We all need a break sometimes - but we can also exaggerate what that break looks like. We often fantasize of going away for months on end, leaving the stressors of our minds eye alone as we drift onto an abandoned beach in the middle of the tropics. A lot of the time, though, we don't need to travel thousands of miles to really "get a break". We can get a break just by closing our eyes, taking some deep breaths, and refocusing ourselves. In today's Body Scan, Sensei Keith comes at you live from the Beach for the first time - a special occassion, given the amount of references to the beach in his Body Scan! -- Join Sensei Keith as he takes you through a Body Scan – A Martial Arts Meditation Technique that teaches you to relax each and every part of your body separately, letting them fade, and allowing our mind to follow.

To be caring towards others is an exponentially admirable quality. Our loved ones being able to depend on us when they are down or they need someone to be there for them only strengthens the bond and the love we share for each other. But what happens when we care so much for others, that we let our own health and well-being falter? It is like when you are in an airplane, just before takeoff, and the flight attendants and pilots go over safety procedures in case of an emergency. They make sure to repeat, over and over again, that it is imperative that, in the event of an emergency, you take care of yourself first, and then your loved ones. That oxygen mask must go on you first, before you can help your child / others around you. The reasoning for this is we cannot help others if we ourselves are struggling. The same rings true when you are off the airplane just as much as when you are on it. --- Join Sensei Lynn as she takes you through a Body Scan – A Martial Arts Meditation Technique that teaches you to relax each and every part of your body separately, letting them fade, and allowing our mind to follow.

It can feel like life has us by the ankles sometimes - shaking us upside down, and bullying us for our lunch money. We fear that we have no control over what is happening - like life is in the driver's seat and we are the unwilling and unwitting passenger, succumbing to the stress and pain that amounts from the path. The truth is that there is a lot that we can control that we do not give ourselves credit for. A few tweaks of the dial here and there can make a huge adjustment in our life, we just need to realize that we in fact control those dials, and can turn them at any point.

How long can you sit in complete silence for? How long can you sit completely still for? At first glance, it sounds like an easy opponent. But stillness can prove to be a worthy foe for many!

Dreaming and daydreaming of a relaxing and beautiful vacation is not unique - we all long to get away and to find peace. What if you could find that peace in your own mind? What if you could take a trip to a relaxing space, and feel the warmth of the sun and the mist of the seabreeze, all from your living room?

Friendship is a gift we give each other that is so important to our well-being. We want to always be there for our friends, just like we want them to be there for us. When we are having a bad day, we also want to remind ourselves that there are people out there who love us and have our back.

So often we go through our day, not recognizing or noticing how we feel, physically, mentally, or emotionally. All of the stressors of the day get bottled up, and that is never good for any area of our health. We want to be able to check in with both our body and mind throughout the day - Am I frustrated? Am I at peace? Does my body hurt? Does my back hurt? Do I feel okay? It is important that we ask ourselves these questions, so that we can correct course when needed. -- Join Sensei Lynn as she takes you through a Body Scan – A Martial Arts Meditation Technique that teaches you to relax each and every part of your body separately, letting them fade, and allowing our mind to follow.

At the beginning and end of every class, the children of the Heroes Circle perform their bow - a series of movements with the words "Power, Peace, Purpose" attached. These words are not just words to be recited - they each have a special meaning to our martial artists, and can have a special meaning for us as well. You are a Powerful martial artist, who can overcome adversity that is put in front of you. You can bring Peace to your mind and body by using your martial arts techniques, and your Purpose is to take those techniques and to "Teach The World" - teach everyone around you how to calm themselves down, too. It is important that we always remind ourselves of our power, and our bow is one way to do that! -- Join Sensei Lynn as she takes you through a Body Scan – A Martial Arts Meditation Technique that teaches you to relax each and every part of your body separately, letting them fade, and allowing our mind to follow.

Darkness can take a swipe at us at any moment, even when we are feeling our best. Something might trigger a sudden sense of anger, sadness, pain, frustration – these are all normal feelings, but we must not let them consume us. We can find peace through the things that we love, the things that bring us joy – the light. -- Join Sensei Lynn as she takes you through a Body Scan – A Martial Arts Meditation Technique that teaches you to relax each and every part of your body separately, letting them fade, and allowing our mind to follow.

It is important that we share with others - share our love, our energy, our passion, our thoughts, and even our concerns. Sometimes we don't feel comfortable sharing our concerns with others - we may feel like we're burdening them. Those concerns, those worries, are our darkness. At Kids Kicking Cancer, we have a few techniques that we use to get rid of that darkness. This technique is called the Body Scan, and we use it to help very sick children take control of their mind and body to empower them to heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We can learn from them, and use it, too. Visit bit.ly/KKCMeditations to learn more about our free meditations and programs. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heroes-circle/support

There are very few messages as powerful as the pain message in your brain. Pain is a sign of necrosis, of something going really wrong inside of your body. When that penetrating alarm goes off – it is primed to get your attention very quickly. But many times the pain can be much worse than what it is trying to warn us about. Frequently the pain becomes the issue in itself. However – Despite the fact that pain is such a prominent message, it is not one that has to control your life. In fact, the more you create in your mind pathways, breaking through that pain and use your brain to restructure the message of darkness into light, the greater capacity you have of transcending pain. This meditation will create a pathway through pain. Even if you do not presently suffer from any particular discomfort, it is a great thing to learn in case for when you might run into that occasional ache or pain.
