Today we walked around Thanksgiving point gardens after doing Saturday choirs and eating lunch. My son and I broke of from my wife and the three girls. As we were walking around the gardens he kept looking scared. I asked him way as it was a beautiful day with flowers and trees all over. He said it was the bees. He got stung once the summer and now is afraid of them all. I asked him where was it when you got stung. He said he put his hand on a wasp nest that was under the lip of our trampoline. I told them they only sting to protect the hive and if you seem like a threat. That seemed to resonate with him but still on the lookout for them.so I took them over to these statues of Jesus and we talked about the statues of Jesus and what it means to have faith. then I did something that I didnt expect I would do. I had him come lay down on the grass with me and as he was next to me I taught him how to control his breathing until he can hear his heartbeat and then slowly count his heartbeat. then I told them that if he counted and focused on it well enough he could feel his heart to slow down in a way to focus your mind. it worked the fear was gone and he was happy and we ran around and played in the garden for hours he never brought up the bees again. As we were getting back in the car he said dad thanks for teaching me that meditation I didnt know I could do that. That was a fun day.
