Relaxation Story On A Rainy Evening

A guided meditation especially for young children to get ready for bed. Children are encouraged to get comfortable, take some mindful breaths, and pay attention to each part of their body from toes to top of head, relaxing and resting along the way. Falling rain in the background is not very loud. School age children and children as young as two years old have enjoyed this Relaxation Story.

Note: correct anatomical terms, penis and vagina, are used to describe where the pelvis is located.

One of the regulars for bedtime in our house!

my 4 year old son loves it n he's sleeping so peacefully right now! :)

Great my son loved this although I heard someone talking it wasn’t very disturbing but I just heard it and thought I’d let you know in case it disturbs someone else but we both 💖💖💖IT SO THANKS TO YOU 😜

This meditation rules the world!!!!

I’m a pediatrician and teach mindfulness in schools. I don’t think there is anything inappropriate at all about this meditation. It’s great. Don’t think the American academy of pediatrics would find it inappropriate either. It’s just a body part. Kudos for calling it what it is!!

First time tonight and my 4 year old was out cold by the end.

I love it 👍🏻 🙏🏻

They’re asleep 😴 thank you 🙏

My son loves it😴

My daughter loves this, helps her go to sleep every night. I wish people would stop saying this isn’t for kids because she says two BODY PARTS to help kids complete their body scan. It’s beautiful, thank you for your service - a tired mom ♥️

This is such a beautiful meditation. Not only does it send my son straight to sleep but this voice also works very well for the little girl in me.

Thank you very much. I wish all moms with babies that don’t love to sleep can access it.

My 7 year old daughter loves this! It’s her absolute favorite.

My three year old son fell asleep after the deep breaths. I continued to listen, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The way the body parts were related to activities from the day, and the emphasis on not thinking too much about the day, was very nice. I think the adults are more hung up, on the two anatomically correct words, than the children. I think it is appropriate for small children to know the correct names. Thank you for this.

I thought her voice would be too perky to send my child to sleep, but the body scan was just the thing to quiet his wriggles and he was out!

Wonderful voice. Wonderful words and soothing body scan. I appreciate the use of anatomical terms used, but would correct "vagina" to "vulva". Lovely, and we will be using this one again!

I like the flashlight metaphor. I like thinking of the pelvis as holding the two halves of the body together. I like that you say vagina or penis; you could even just say “genitals” to be more inclusive of intersex people. I like how you connected the parts of the body with the fun things kids do during the day. I like the rain :-)

My 5 year old fell right to sleep. Love the rain in the background!

This one put my almost 3 year old twins to sleep right away. I hope it works the same magic next time we use it! I also like that she uses proper anatomical terms like penis and vagina, so important that kids use the proper terminology for these parts.

Wonderful meditation for children but I enjoyed it very much.
