How beautiful are these glitter jars?!
When shaken, the glitter swirls around in the water creating a mesmerizing visual effect. As the glitter slowly settles, it can provide a calming and grounding experience.
Glitter jars can help with;
⭐️ Focusing our minds (bringing us back to the present moment)
⭐️ Emotional regulation (learning to pause between an event and our response) and
⭐️ Sensory engagement (the visual and tactile stimulation can have a calming effect).
We use glitter jars in our sessions to demonstrate the effect that Mindful Breathing can have on our brains. They are a great way to show how Mindful Breathing can help send a message to our busy brains that everything is ok.
Out of all the Mindfulness activities we share, this is definitely our favourite Mindfulness 'trick'!
They are so easy to make. Just find a jar, pop some warm water in, squeeze in a bit of clear glue and add whatever glitter you'd like. Easy! 😍 See less
