Quiet and Peaceful

A short, relaxing body awareness meditation for young children, with lovely background music.

Transcript

Lie on the ground and make yourself comfortable.

Wiggle your arms and legs around,

Shaking away any aches or pains.

Breathe in and as you breathe out,

Let your muscles become soft and relaxed.

Imagine any stiffness melting away from your legs and arms like butter melting on a piece of hot toast.

Feel your body becoming soft and relaxed.

Move your attention to your feet,

Wiggle your toes around and then repeat silently inside your head,

My feet are quiet and peaceful.

Now gently move your legs around,

Again repeat silently to yourself,

My legs are quiet and peaceful.

Move your hips from side to side and in your inside voice repeat after me,

My hips are quiet and peaceful.

Wobble your tummy or pull it in a little way and then release,

Repeating my tummy is quiet and peaceful.

Now move your attention to your chest,

Take a deep breath,

Release and repeat after me,

My chest is quiet and peaceful.

Now lift your shoulders up towards your ears,

Release and silently say,

My shoulders are quiet and peaceful.

Gently shake out your arms and hands,

Saying to yourself in your inside voice,

My arms and hands are quiet and peaceful.

Open your mouth as wide as you can,

As though you were yawning,

Relax and repeat my face is quiet and peaceful.

Now repeat silently,

My whole body is quiet and peaceful.

Lie here enjoying these feelings of peace and quiet.

This is a meditation I am bookmarking to do with my grandkids. But also, the happy music and quick body awareness was a fun little meditation for me too!

Perfect for my 13 year old to calm before the school bus arrives. My son is on the spectrum and he really enjoys soothing and calming meditations.

This was wonderful for both my inner child, and present moment me 💗

My 5yo boy loves this. Cute little giggles all the way through.

Lovely to hear a fellow Scottish voice! Very relaxing. Trying out meditation with my 14 month old, he was very interested! Thank you.

Fantastic, use it to get my daughter to sleep most nights.

I’m in grad school to become a teacher. I’m not a kid… but I loved this!

Awesome my grand daughter loved it before bedtime 🙏🏽

I was angry because I couldn't do the hula hoops, but now I feel much better

Great voice, perfect pace, short but oh so sweet! Works for adults as well as children🙏🏼
I will use it as a stretch to start the morning, a quick (effective) break in the afternoon, and a final settle before sleep. Love it! Thank you🙏🏼

Simple but magnificent! The kids like it. Brilliant!

This is very calming. Will definitely use again with my Nan.

Loved it! The music might be a little upbeat. I'll keep trying it

Short and beautiful meditation. Perfect length for my toddler. It keeps his attention and helps him transition to sleepy time.
