Okay,

Let's start by relaxing the body.

Adjust your posture for now.

Open your spine and have your chin parallel to the floor.

Now take a comfortable,

Comfortable deep breath and as you exhale,

Close your eyes gently and comfortably begin to start to let go.

Let go and relax.

Let's breathe in through our nose and as we exhale through our mouth,

We'll do that in two breaths.

Let's do a few focused breaths.

Breathing in and exhale,

Allowing your body to relax.

Breathing in and out.

Breathing in and out.

Let your body relax.

Breathing in when you're ready and exhale,

Gently letting go.

Breathing in and exhale.

One more time.

Breathing in and breathe out.

Consciously let your body start to go into that relaxed state now.

Let go and let your body relax.

Let go of any thoughts of the world,

Any worries,

Any concerns for now.

And feel your body relaxing.

Stay in this state and breathe.

Be natural and stay in this space of being relaxed.

Your body being relaxed.

You have been given the greatest treasure of all,

Your child.

Guard your intentions in case you accidentally forget that you have been given such great treasure.

For your child,

Your child is not yours as such.

Deep down you know this.

You know that children are gifts of life.

You know you are blessed by their presence.

But they are not yours.

They are gifts from life.

So won't you enjoy their company?

And while you enjoy their company,

Won't you remember that they are here just like you to leave their footprints behind?

They are here just like you.

They are unique and have a gift inside of them.

Let that gift develop.

Let their uniqueness reveal itself.

They are the future of tomorrow.

So give them the space.

The kind of space they need to discover who they really truly are.

They hold the future of humanity.

They are a gift from life to pave the way for a better world.

So enjoy the greatest treasure that you have.

But guard your intentions.

And never forget that you have been blessed with such great treasure.

Beautiful and wise. Children are a gift from life, not ours to own but ours to enjoy, nourish and love. I believe our role as parents is to serve as a bridge to our children so they can step into the world as their own unique selves, prepared to embrace their life as adults. Thank you for this lovely meditation.
