Older adults are such fun students because they’re all young at heart.

Bang Lang shows Adriana @wearethe_musicmakers a grounding song and a bit about the neuroscience/ parasympathetic nervous system in connecting with breath and the familiar. This works for ALL of us, at all stages of life. Because families co-regulate energy and emotion, it creates a cyclical positive effect. Song: “Breathing In, Breathing Out” (Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation)

Lyrics:

Breathing in, breathing out. (2x) I am blooming as a flower. I am fresh as a dew. I am solid as a mountain, I am firm as the earth. I am free

Breathing in, breathing out. (2x) I am water reflecting what is real, what is true. And I know there is space, deep inside of me. I am free (3x)
