MATIO | 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.

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 find out more about our free meditations, visit bit.ly/KKCMeditations

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.  To find out more about our free meditations, visit bit.ly/KKCMeditations

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! It takes time and patience to be able to master the silent beast.

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?
