COURSE

Kids: Things On The Inside

With Reuben Lowe

"Things On The Inside" combines the power of imagination, pretending, being kind, and mindfulness practice. It aims to help kids be more willing to turn towards exciting opportunities and challenges as their lives unfold before them. At the start of each day, there’s a chance for your little one to practice connecting with the little voice inside their tummy. Every day, there is a lesson about some of the things we experience on the inside, some of them pleasant, and some of them not so pleasant, and how these are completely normal human experiences that we all have from time to time. Then, there’s an exploration of a particular life area that is important to them, something that excites them. There is one important life area for each of the seven days that make up this course. At the end of each day, they will get to take a ride home in a friendly, fluffy, white cloud that teaches them a particular way to practice being calm and content. There is a range of simple insights here that are repeated throughout this mini-series. This is done intentionally, so as to gently drip-feed these essential life skills, that can help your little one thrive in life, despite going through the challenges that they will eventually face at some point. With your little one becoming more aware of the little voice inside their tummy, it's my hope that it will pave the way for them to grow up practicing an essential life skill: The art of making space for the things on the inside that we experience that are not so nice. In doing so, they will be more able to turn towards exciting opportunities and challenges as their lives unfold before them. "Things On The Inside" is also about using the wonder and wisdom of intuition, so as to learn and grow towards creating a life that is full of these opportunities. Ultimately, this course is designed to help you and your little one to be part of the positive change that’s going on in the world. It’s happening right now. It just depends where we focus our attention.

Lesson 1

Things That Are Fun

This is going to be fun. Sometimes, we are going to imagine. Sometimes, we are going to pretend. Today is a very important lesson because you get to meet the little voice inside your tummy. A very good friend that you can always trust, even when you feel confused. Feeling confused is a thing on the inside that everyone has sometimes. Then, you get to explore "things that are fun." Things that are fun are about doing stuff that makes us feel excited, playful, and happy. You then fly high in the sky to explore things in your life that are fun. Then, you finish with a ride home in a friendly, fluffy, white cloud. This cloud has a word on its belly. It teaches you how to experiment with being calm and content.

Lesson 3

Things That I Want To Create

On Day 3, you listen to your special friend again, that little voice inside your tummy. The little voice is always there for us, even when we feel sad. Sadness is a thing on the inside that everyone has sometimes. In the mini-lesson today, high in the sky, you explore "things that I want to create." Sometimes, we need to think extra special thoughts to create things. This could be like creating a toy, or a camp, or a drawing, or a painting. These are sometimes called hobbies. They are activities we do for fun, and sometimes we learn from doing them. After exploring this, you finish with a ride home in the friendly, fluffy, white cloud. It has another word upon its belly. It teaches you how to experiment with being calm and content.

Things That I Want To Know About

Feeling angry is a thing on the inside that everyone has sometimes. In the mini-lesson today, high in the sky, you explore "things that I want to know about." Knowing more about things is when we learn. Sometimes, we may have thoughts that say that learning is boring, but actually, learning can be fun if it’s something that we really want to know about. After exploring this, you finish with a ride home in the friendly, fluffy, white cloud that teaches you another great tip that you can use whenever you need it.

Lesson 6

Things I Can Do For My Friends

On Day 6, we listen to your special friend again, that little voice inside your tummy. The little voice is always there for us, even when we have unhelpful thoughts. Unhelpful thoughts are things on the inside that everyone has sometimes. In the mini-lesson today, high in the sky, you explore "things I can do for my friends."

Lesson 7

Things I Can Do For My Family

On our final day, we listen to your special friend again, that little voice inside your tummy. The little voice is always there for us, even when we don’t feel good. Not feeling good is a thing on the inside that everyone has sometimes. In the mini-lesson today, high in the sky, you explore "things I can do for my family." This is about remembering some of the people in our family that we care about very much. Sometimes, we can forget just how good some people in our family are because we get so busy in this very busy world. After exploring this, we finish with a ride home in the friendly, fluffy, white cloud. It has another word upon its belly. But this time you get to choose your favorite way of being calm and content, out of all of the six ways you have practiced over the last six lessons. Then, we get to say goodbye to our special friends until the next time.

Reuben, this course for kids is brilliant!! I’m an adult who is playful by nature. When I saw this course, with the adorable drawing, and listened to the intro, I knew I had to take it. Who doesn’t love an adventure? Once I started, I couldn’t stop. I went on every adventure in one day. It’s fun, exciting, and imaginative, all while introducing mindfulness to the children in your life. The music is magical, your delivery is PERFECT for little ones. I’m sure I’ll be coming back to this course for years to come, whether for myself, future grandchildren, or other children in my life. It’s nice to go back to your childhood and be playful, but more importantly, it’s SO rewarding to see children’s eyes light up when they’re being read to, watching them get excited, and seeing those little lightbulbs 💡 go on over their heads, knowing that they’re actually learning important life skills. I highly recommend this course. The young and old alike will benefit from it. It was a pure joy. Thank you 🙏🏼 Reuben.

As a retired teacher of children with special needs and a mother of three I would unhesitatingly recommend this course. Reubens gentle, expressive, and at times, exciting voice conveys a wonderful subliminal message about the power of the breathe. The sessions are just the right length, the music is well chosen and the profound messages within them are explained in a totally child friendly way.

Thank you so much for this course. It has really been great for my six year old. He struggles to focus but I know the words have gone in, as it was really engaging and given him some tools to hopefully use. He really engaged with the creative breathing exercises and chose his favourite. Sitting still for him is a challenge but he is looking forward to making a little area in his bedroom and choosing a cushion to meditate on. Also he said he uses his tummy voice in school. Thanks again, I'm grateful for these ideas for kids 💖

I did this course as an adult for the child within me. It was incredibly helpful and fun to go back to basics. I think this course is just right for children...not too long over-all and each session is a suitable length. It is set at a childs level of understanding and taps into their imagination. Even as a supposedly responsible adult, I found I could relate the questions to my own life and actually, it turned out to be a very emotional journey. What ever your age, we all have a child within. This course is delightful and fun.....give it a try!
