Getting It Done: Building Bravery At The Doctor's

This is part two of our superhero adventure to the doctors. In the first adventure "Getting Ready - Building Bravery at the Doctor's" we discovered our cape of courage, got into our power pose, and channeled our inner superhero. Now in this meditation we are going to get it done! Have your little one listen to this meditation out loud or on a headset while going through the procedure that has them feeling nervous. I hope this helps make things easier on both of you!

All right,

We're back.

So stand or sit in your superhero pose.

You've already gone through the other meditation so you know about your superhero cape in the color of courage.

So feel that cape wrapped around you protective and warm.

Hands are on the hips,

Chin is up,

And the back is straight.

Close your eyes and focus inside.

Now if they tell you to move into a different position that's okay.

You can carry your superhero pose in your head.

That's how magical you are.

That's the power of your imagination.

So in your mind see yourself in that strong pose.

Hands on hips,

Head up.

Now that lollipop,

Either the real one or your rockin' awesome imaginary one is in your mouth.

Taste the sweetness on your tongue.
