For those of you who have new babies, you know that life is full of everyday miracles. But this period can also mean sleepless chaos with little sense of time. This is the perfect moment to practice meditation.

Below, I'm sharing a simple practice I teach new parents to help restore calm and mindfulness in their lives. So, sit down, take your little Buddha onto your lap, and watch this meditation.

It'll promote connections with your baby that help contribute to healthy development. And just as importantly, it will open your own heart to a deeper way of experiencing life.

Raising kids can be difficult. If you'd like some help along the way, join me for my course, "How To Raise Happy, Well-Adjusted Children."
