ACTIVITY OF THE DAY

WATER PACKETS HOLDING ON THE

THOUGHTS

MATERIALS NEEDED

1. Clean water packets

2. Water

3. Tub

PREPARATION:

Have enough water packets so that everyone will get a chance to get a

turn. Fill each packet with water, and keep extra water in the tub

✓ Gather everyone around and show them the activity.

✓ Talk about thoughts. What happens when we are full of thoughts? We are weighed down in our minds and hearts because of all the inner chatter that is going on inside. We can't think very clearly.

✓ The water packet illustrates our mind, the water is our thoughts. When we hold on to our thoughts, we are filling ourselves full of nonsense. But if we realize what we are doing, we should just release it, squeeze it out and be empty.

Only then great things will happen. Drop the mind and be free, un-clutch the thoughts one at a time and all inner chatter will disappear and bliss will enter our lives instead.

ACTIVITY: Demonstrate how to squeeze the water out of the packets and have the thoughts behind, leave the water packet also illustrating how we can drop the mind and go on to do great things
