CIJ Kids and Teens Insight For Life Program

CIJ for kids and teens insight for life

program is an awe-inspiring course

focusing on mindfulness and emotional

intelligence the curriculum is based

upon a methodology first taught at

Stanford University's famed creativity

and business course that was developed

by Dr. Michael Ray in 1979. It had such

great success there. It was touted the

most life transforming course ever to be

taught at Stanford University. In 2001, it

was finally brought out of the

university by Julia Romaine and a team of

coaches for the general public to enjoy.

In 2014, the torch was passed to Hay

House author and transformational coach

Jennifer Grace who became the lead

train-the-trainer

and brought the curriculum worldwide

under Ms graces direction it was then

translated into six different languages

and is now being taught in six different

countries. In 2016,

she and her team piloted the class for

kids and teens. The results were profound.

As of 2017, there are now 40 Insight for

Life instructors teaching the curriculum

in after schools, public and private

schools, as well as yoga studios, and

wellness centers here are the results

from Muse Arts after-school center that

has recently implemented the curriculum

into its programming.
-Hi my name is

Yasmine satici. I'm the director of Muse

Center for the Arts. So, bringing Insight

for Life to our conservatory program has

made such an incredible impact on the

students here. They immediately fell in

love with the material and we're super

inspired by it and just kind of bubbling

over with like enthusiasm and they just

wanted more and more and it really

taught them that they have a choice, they

have a choice how they conduct themselves

and the direction that they take their lives

in and it gave them this power that they

never really knew they had before.
- Before

I took Insight for Life, I really

struggled with self-confidence like a

lot it really helped me like figure out

what my identity was and like Who I am

- Before I took insight for life I was

very confused about a lot of things I

also thought really negatively about

myself. It has made me more confident and

I believed in myself way more than I

have when I started this and I feel like

I can do more and I trust myself more now.

- I grew up a lot this year and I think

it's a lot because of this class, but I

really learned like how to love myself

and like to love the mistakes that I've

made through the process of this class

but also through my life so this is what

I created
- Wow

and it's like my inner

gremlin. I'm like. it's also can be like

representatives like me before

this class and me now.

I had bad anger issues and like

they're a lot better now like
- yeah

and like I used to have a lot of conflicts

with my mom and stuff like that's also a

lot better now

it helped me with focusing a lot better

it helped me with different relationships

with different friends and it helped me

just focus
- So the tools from insight for

life and meditation and journaling and

everything they helped me so much

because I'm not a great test taker so

when I got so stressed out.

I would use SA TA NA MA meditation

just to calm down and I'll

breathe in and breathe out, get my focus

straight and then I would continue

I'm Olivia Holmes I'm 25 I live in

central Massachusetts and when I was 15

years old I took CIJ Insights for Life

with Jennifer Grace

at that time I was about to drop out of

high school I was dealing with friend

drama, boyfriend drama and it made me, so,

I wasn't confident in myself and I felt

like I didn't fit in. I wanted to escape

and the only way that I thought I could

do that was to drop out of my high

school and to start fresh and go to

beauty school. Fast forward 10 years and

I'm a graduate of Isenberg School of

Management at UMass Amherst. I'm a

marketing professional at a tech company

in Boston .I've been there three years

and I've earned myself three promotions

working my way up from a marketing

analyst to a marketing programs manager

and I envisioned myself getting another

promotion within the next six months

Over the years I've gone back time and

time again to those simple tools like

journaling and meditating in order to

get clear on Who I am and what I want

I silenced my inner gremlin whenever I'm

doubting myself and I think back to the

creative process model that lets me know

that hitting a brick wall in life is

just part of the process. I don't know

where my life would be at if I hadn't

taken this course so many years ago, but

I sincerely hope that every kid out

there in the world has an opportunity to

experience these tools because for me

it's changed my life.

- I think it would be

amazing if Insight for Life was a

part of like our everyday curriculum for

our children in any age group from

elementary school to middle school kids.

if these tools were given to children at

an earlier age where it was just an

everyday thing to identify you know the

different aspects of yourself your inner

self the outer world and how you

interact with it, it would give our

children an incredible upper hand in

just moving forward and dealing with

life both in the an academic environment

and outside of the academic environment

You would allow them to really thrive as

students and as human beings and as

contributing members to our community and

our society this should be as important

as math and English. It's as

important to be a healthy functioning

well-adjusted young person who is

self-aware and community conscious so

that you can put all this wonderful

academics at very learning to good use

and and it really absolutely should be

something that's a necessity and not a

luxury. If you're interested in learning

how you can bring this into your school,

after-school program, yoga studio,

Wellness Center or get your child involved
