Breathing Tour Day 18 at Fugee Academy

 

Our hearts are filled with peace after being led by 2 middle schoolers, Pau Sum and Birindwa. Their leadership helped ground and expand us.

We felt at home in this calming refuge.  Stephanie McCart, staff and students embraced us all with laughter, smiles and warm welcomes.

Every day one or two of the students lead the 4 breaths to the entire school. It felt right to celebrate their 40th day! 4 breaths for 40 days. Wow.

And we got to witness their enthusiasm about continuing the 4 breath ritual every morning!

 

 

 

The Fugee Family’s Distinctive Educational Approach is is to go deep in a subject to promote comprehension, rather than the broader but shallower approach geared to standardized testing results. We are down with that!

Deep breaths lead to deep comprehension.Deep comprehension leads to deep breath.

 

 

We breathe to boost our heart energy.  To empower our hearts. To rest our consciousness there so we can live from a open, compassionate, caring way.

We breathe to build the energy of our hearts.

Visualize energy coming into your heart, radiating out, rest your awareness there Invoking a sense of peace and balance ,

Is it possible to step forward in life from a heart centered life? Trusting that you will make your decisions from this place?

Is it possible to light up the room with enthusiasm – so others can’t help but smile?

Is  it possible to feel the energy of your heart radiating out in all directions~ a beautiful shield of protective light all around? May we know what it is to truly love and receive love? May we know the feelings of deep compassion? May this deep heart centered awareness be a place of refuge not only for us, but for others as well?

When we feel a disconnect, a contraction, is it possible to actually FLIP our body like a pancake and thus flip our thoughts to find the connection, the openness, the new?

Thank you Luma Mufleh and the Board for creating a sacred school for refugees.

Thank you Students of Fugee Academy for connecting with us. It’s rare for us to feel so at peace and smile so big at the same time.

Thank you Stephanie McCart for inviting us into your sacred space. We appreciate the connection you have with each and every child and staff member. Your connection to your heart and all of us created such positive energy.
