Children's Meditation: Sitting Still in the Sunshine

This children's meditation was inspired by the rock hyraxes (we call them "dassies") of South Africa that have the habit of soaking up the sunshine on the rocky cliffs where they live. It teaches children to first become calm by focusing on the breath, and then they are gently led through a short visualisation, becoming mindful of feeling grounded, warm and safe. There is also an accompanying story available for this meditation, titled "Bedtime Story: Sitting Still Like A Dassie".

I find all of your meditation's peaceful but this one is specifically calming I will definitely bookmark (-_-)('-'):)

This is soo calming and relaxing I have listened to 2 of the meditations. They help me calm down a lot. Most of the voices sound bad but yours sounds cool. From lidlllor cury 8.5 yrs

Delightful my 8 yr old niece loved her comfy rock!

Wonderful meditation for my 5 year old! Thank you!

I like that this one is more oriented to day time. We're meditating in the mornings and most of the kid meditations are focused on going to sleep. If you're wanting a good one for that, this same person does a firefly one that's really calming and sleepy. My child loves her voice and sweetness 😊

This is my toddler's solid favourite! Thank you. :)

What a great meditation I loved sitting in the sunshine as a little darse as they are my favourite animal thank you for this experience

Both my 3 and 5 year old love it

Miss 4 said "I loved it." She likes the Fireflies one too.
I found it calming and relaxing. We both loved the reference to the Dassies which we had to look up as had never heard of.

Worked really well.
Also cute cover picture!

Love this one. I really like it and my neice really likes it.

My daughter loves this - very relaxing

My granddaughter and I enjoyed this immensely, she is almost 7 and said she felt warm and so relaxed. 💜💜💜

My 6 year old daughter and I loved it :)

I will be recommending this to my friend for her daughter who has ADHD. Namaste 🙏

This is great! I am looking for some meditations to do with my God daughter when she visits - mainly to "wind down" before bedtime. She is 5, and this one is just perfect!

Wonderful for children of all ages!🌞
