Children's Sleep Meditation

This beautiful, restful meditation for children was created because I found myself using my sleep meditations (adult versions) for my kids. They loved them but they had complicated mantra so I wanted to simplify and give instructions for them to close their eyes, lie down and prepare for sleep with their meditation. It's a beautiful time for parents and children to complete a practice like this. It may be the only opportunity you get to have them focused and happy to lay in your arms.

Transcript

Welcome to your sleep meditation.

We are about to take a beautiful journey together.

But first we need to snuggle down into our beds and close our eyes.

We'll make sure we're really warm and that our heads are on the pillow and we feel safe and happy.

Feel the softness of the mattress under your body and imagine that you are sinking into the mattress.

You are so comfortable.

You are safe.

You are warm.

You are loved.

I want you to concentrate on your breath.

Notice how it enters your body and notice that it leaves.

Notice the spaces between your breath.

You're not breathing in.

You're not breathing out.

I want you to count backwards from five in your head.

Say to yourself,

I am breathing in five.

I am breathing out five.

I am breathing in four.

I am breathing out four.

I am breathing in three.

I am breathing out three.

I am breathing in two.

I am breathing out two.

I am breathing in one.

I am breathing out one.

Take another couple of big deep breaths.

Make your stomach into a big balloon.

Fill it up with air and then sigh it out.

Again,

Big deep breath.

Fill up that belly and then sigh it out.

Now we can repeat a mantra.

Something you can say to yourself to make sure that you will have the best,

Deep sleep.

The mantra is om shanti.

Say to yourself in your head,

Om shanti.

Om shanti.

Beautiful peaceful meditation. Only a couple of minutes of guidance,. followed by such beautiful music ❤️

My five year old was extremely energetic and excitable before bed. I popped this beautiful meditation on and she was asleep before the end of it! I also found it very calming 💜✨️

This has been the main meditation that has helped my 10-year-old fall asleep quickly and easily after many nights of restlessness. Thank you. Very soothing!

I meditated with my kids a loved every minute. I plan on meditating with this as an adult later!

Amazing meditation, so relaxing and made me very sleepy! Most is just music and the actual meditation is around 4 minutes, but I loved it. Thank you.
