Relaxation ? We have Nailed it.

In our world we find circus skills incredibly relaxing . 

If you are juggling, perched on the aerial hoop or spinning some fire , then you are not thinking of anything else.

All the worries and stresses of a busy day are cast aside when you are learning a new trick focussing on that one thing. Suddenly there is this magic moment , when you are in the flow and the trick is  almost happening by itself , then after this happy moment you are ready to learn something new.

The photo here is a moment from a children’s circus show when we lay on a bed of nails, a volunteer from the audience usually stands on top of us.  . It can be extremely uncomfortable ! At one school we gave the children  a choice of which trick to end the show with , they all started chanting “bed of Nails , Bed of Nails ! ”
