Aww such a great little practice. Saving to share with my kiddo too! Love the inclusion of the kiddo assistant 🥰🥹💖🙏🫶✌️

My children and I enjoyed this meditation! Thank you, Brian!

Thanks for your live talk. I have chronic long term back problems but I thought I had sorted out my anger a long time ago. Maybe not!
I’m going to try meditating with my two year old granddaughter. I never felt it would work with my own children.
