PURPOSE OF SPEECH: This powerfully motivating speech will help stressed-out parents stop shouting and stay mindful during tough parenting moments.
Have you ever said, or done something when you were stressed out that you later regretted?
Tejal has definitely come face-to-face with her Stress “MOM”ster. She openly shares her story of gut-wrenching guilt of being a mom who was practicing meditation and mindfulness everyday but was faced with the confusion conundrum:
“Why am I able to stay calm and patient with my kids sometimes and other times I immediately lose my cool (even if I meditated in the morning)?”
Tejal’s incessant desire to seek answers and learn from her mistakes led her on the path to discover Ayurveda which holds the secrets of living a stress-free life that modern medicine have not discovered.
In this informative speech, Tejal shares bit-sized Ayurvedic, Yogic and Meditation truth bombs to help parents and educators learn how to “NamaSLAY” stress in the modern world.
Building Nerves of Steel is Tejal’s life philosophy that mixes ancient wisdom and marrying it with the empowering modern mindset of “I can kick stress’s butt so it no longer messes with me being the most present, patient and peaceful I wanna be” attitude.
In this presentation, listeners will take-away valuable wisdom on:
–Why the generic “just take 3 deep breaths when you’re stressed” advice we’ve heard a million times is misleadingAF and why stress-relief practices can’t be one-size-fits-all.
–Why we need to stop trying to “manage” stress and how to build long-term stress-resilience instead.
–What your unique Ayurvedic stress-type and demonstration of the right stress-relief tools for you Listeners will feel deeply empowered as they walk away with doable stress-resilience practices they can infuse into their life right away.
PURPOSE OF SPEECH: This presentation will inspire parents and educators to believe they can plant the seeds of meditation in the lives of our youth and learn how to do it.
The Dalai Lama said, “If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation.”
What if all children knew how to mediate? How would it change their life? How would it change the world? This is what inspired this talk.
If young children can be taught the ABC’s, learn that we brush our teeth twice a day and we shower to keep our body clean, there is no reason why children can’t learn that we brush our brain to keep it clean by meditating.
Drawing on a decade of experience of planting the seeds of meditation in kids age 3-8 as well as her own sons, Tejal busts open the misconceptions that children can’t meditate and we can’t teach meditation to our kids unless we are experts first.
In contrast to these wide-spread beliefs, Tejal breaks down:
- How to introduce meditation to children (ages 2-8) in a way that is playful and engaging.
- How to teach children the “art of concentration”.
- Why young children under 8 is the prime time to teach meditation to kids.
The talk will inspire parents, caretaker and educators to join the #kidsCANmeditate moment to raise the first generation of mindful children and the next generation of peace leaders.
PURPOSE OF SPEECH: This presentation will help empower parents (or educators) to learn how to teach children to build resilience, manage big emotions and face life’s challenges with confidence.
What is the greatest desire you have for your children? To be happy?
But in our focus to raise happy and successful kids, we forgot that it’s also important to teach them how to handle unhappiness and the natural and uncomfortable feelings like frustration, disappointment and anxiety when things don’t go your way which are a natural part of the human experience.
In this experiential session, Tejal will lead the audience through her proven “3 Step Stress Relief Strategy” to help children (and parents) cope with anxiety, anger and sadness when they feel stressed. Participants will learn age-appropriate tools to help children better manage stress through mindfulness and movement.
Tejal will share time-tested and proven ancient Ayurveda and yogic wisdom to help parents, educators and children clear mental fog, build patience and naturally boost energy in 3 minutes or less.
By the end of the presentation:
- You’ll have a roadmap of how to effortlessly infuse this stress-relief mindfulness practice into your home or classrooms.
- You’ll know your unique stress type and learn how to quickly determine your students stress type.
- You’ll feel confident to practice these tools with your children.
