Great Spiritual Experiments for Kids (Part 2)

Here's Part 2 of Shannon's Spiritual Experiements with kids.

This one covers the

1. Power of Habits
   
2. Power of Intention and Focus
   
3. Power of Perspective & Awareness
   

I would even recommend taking the Habit Experiment further.

Negative Habits: If you are dealing with breaking a negative habit (and don't have the power to break the think string (or rope as we sometimes have), demonstrate with the kids that they can unravel it bit by bit until there are only a bunch of small strings that can easily be broken). This demonstrates that we can break a large negative habits by taking consistent small small steps until the the habit is completely unraveled.

Postive Habits: Likewise, if we want to build positive and healthy habits, show kids how to make a rope by taking a bunch of thin strings (weak habits) and braiding them together (to make a strong rope/habit over time). Keep increasing it until it is so strong they it won't break. This demonstrates the power of a healthy habit that has had a lot of focus, attention, and time on to build.

Great Spiritual Experiments for Kids (Part 1)

Thanks Shannon for making these videos of Spiritual Experiments for kids! These experiments cover the concepts of

1. Universal Life Essence, Life & Death
2. Negative vs. positive thinking, unhealthy food clogging minds,
3. What we choose to lean on people, leaning on God/Spirit
4. Opening our minds to God/Spirit to let the best of ourselves come out
   

As my own daughter has been curious about the concept of death, I think your ice-cube experiment is excellent. In fact, I'm hoping to make a video to elaborate on it further. Beginning with a large bowl of water that represents all life (God, Universe, Earth, All People, All Animals, Everything...). Then have the child take some of the water out of the large bowl and put it in an ice-cube tray. Once they are formed, we could call that birth of our bodies or our form here. (But we are still made up of the the same life essence, and still connected). Then, as you show in your experiment, we are put back into the bowl and melt back into all life essence, and experience "death" of form. But we are still all together, as we always were. :)
