I'm Serenity the Snowy Owl.
You might have listened to my stories.
Maybe that's how you found this meditation.
Well Snugglebugs,
You know that we owls are wise,
Don't you?
Let me tell you a little secret Snugglebugs.
We owls are all meditation masters and that is where our wisdom comes from.
Would you like to be wise like me?
Then let's meditate.
Today's meditation is called Loving Kindness and it will help you grow kinder and happier.
It will also help you to make lots and lots of friends and be the best friend you could ever be.
Okay Snugglebugs,
Get comfortable.
You can sit on a chair or cross your little legs on the floor like my friend Freddy the Frog.
Now stick your tongue out like he does.
Only joking Snugglebugs,
Put that tongue away and close your little eyes.
Now rest your hands on your lap and relax.
If you have any squiggles inside of you,
Let them out now.
A quick shuffle and then be still,
Quiet,
Like a cute little mouse.
Take a deep breath in,
Hold it,
Then slowly let it all out.
Relax,
Relax.
Now think of your favourite animal.
Is it a little puppy or a kitten?
Imagine having a snuggle with them now.
How does that make you feel?
Snuggling your animal friend?
Can you feel a warm,
Friendly feeling?
Now we are going to send lots of loving kindness to this cute little creature.
Say to your friend now,
May you be happy little friend.
May you be happy little friend.
When you say the words,
Imagine sparkles of love coming out of your heart.
May you be safe and protected little friend.
May you be safe and protected little friend.
May you be happy little friend.
May you be happy little friend.
May you be safe and protected little friend.
May you be safe and protected little friend.
Now imagine sparkles coming out of your heart.
Imagine the sparkles carried on a rainbow of light.
Imagine filling up your whole town with it.
Travelling all over your country.
Spreading all over the world.
When your sparkles touch all of the people and animals in the world,
They all become so happy.
Imagine the whole world smiling now.
Imagine all of the animals safe and protected.
Let's wish everyone happiness now.
May all people and all animals be happy.
May all people and all animals be happy.
May all people and all animals be safe and protected.
May all people and all animals be safe and protected.
How do you feel Snugglebugs?
Warm?
Happy?
Cozy?
Now before you open your eyes,
Make a little wish.
Wish something really good to happen to one of your friends or your family.
Make that wish,
Then open your eyes.
May you be happy little Snugglebugs and may you be safe and protected.
Goodnight Snugglebugs,
Serenity whispered.
May your dreams be filled with magic and peace.
