Wake Up, Body!

A lovely warming exercise to help a child's body wake up - especially on cold mornings. We will be rubbing our hands together to create warmth and energy, before placing our warm hands over the eyes, ears, head, and heart. As we do this, we will ask each of these body parts to wake up and be well today!

Today I am going to show you a lovely exercise to do in the morning.

This will help your body to wake up with a little bit of lovely warmth.

Bring your hands together in a prayer position in front of your heart.

Your palms and fingers should be flat and your hands touching each other.

Now rub your hands together to create warmth and energy.

You will know that you have created enough energy when your hands start to feel warm.

Gently place your warm hands over your eyes.

Ask your eyes to wake up.

Now we will be rubbing our hands together again.

Are your hands feeling warm enough yet?

Gently place your warm hands over your ears.

Ask your ears to wake up and listen well today.

Let's rub our hands together again.

Are your hands warm enough yet?

Gently place your hands on your head.

Ask your brain to wake up and to think good thoughts today.

Now let's rub our hands together for one last time.

Make sure that you create plenty of energy and warmth this time.

Gently place both your hands over your heart.

Send yourself some warm loving wishes.

Feel yourself smile as your loving wishes fill your heart.

When you are ready,

You can step into your day with a light heart and your body fully awake and filled with energy.

I wish you a peaceful and happy day.
