MINDFULNESS SUN RELAXATION FOR CHILDREN

In this edition, I would like to offer a short mindfulness relaxation for children.  This can be practiced anytime of the day but personally I like to do this with my children in the morning once they are ready for school. We have made this a part of our going to school morning routine. It’s a positive and uplifting start to the day.

Sitting comfortably gently close your eyes and take some slow deep breaths in and out.  Picture a bright, shining sun smiling at you.  Breathe slowly and imagine that the sun is warming your face.

Imagine the sun warming your shoulders and back.  Next imagine the sun warming your arms and going down to the tips of your fingers.  Continue to breathe in and out slowly and calmly.  Imagine the sun’s warmth spreading to your legs, down to your knees and to your feet.

Finally feel the warmth all the way to your toes.  You are nice and relaxed.

Take some nice deep breaths in and out then slowly wriggle your fingers and toes and very slowly open your eyes. I hope you enjoy this practice.
