A little treasure (He iti kahurangi) to celebrate

A karakia for self-regulation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

*correction: it is Hā ki waho, not wahi!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From the words of Mero Irihapeti from the Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand Facebook page: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Karakia can mean many things, but the general concept around karakia is to remove the tapu, or sacredness from something or someone. Traditionally, Māori had different karakia for almost everything – travel, kai, whenua, birth, death, and so on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Karakia is practised a lot these days in ECE centres, mainly to open and close the day and also to bless kai. But did you know that karakia can also help settle a child?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This karakia was written for children to recite when their emotions become too overwhelming for them – this karakia can also be used by adults. It can be compared to a form of meditation, but for us it is all about bringing a sense of calmness to the situation and as a result, regulating those extreme emotions."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tēnā rawa atu koe (thank you very much) Mero for sharing this beautiful karakia! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
