The Pink Light Technique with Mayra

In this episode, I sit down with Mayra Clay, a former teaching assistant turned meditation teacher and children's author, to explore how love, gratitude, and simple mindfulness practices can help both teachers and children feel more connected, calm, and resilient.

Mayra shares the story behind her children's book, The Boy and the Pink Light Technique, and introduces us to the Pink Light Technique, a simple yet powerful practice that has helped children feel safer, happier, and more emotionally grounded.

Together, we discuss why self-love is often the missing piece for many educators, how our thoughts influence our wellbeing, and practical ways to bring more gratitude into our daily lives—even during challenging seasons.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that small moments of kindness toward ourselves can create powerful ripple effects in our classrooms, homes, and communities.

In this episode:
• Mayra's journey from teaching assistant to meditation teacher
• The story behind the Pink Light Technique
