Welcome to the loving kindness meditation for three-year-olds. Parents each phrase of the mantra has a movement that you and your child will do. When you say, May you be well, Do strong arms. When you say, May you be happy, Point to the corners of your mouth. When you say, May you be peaceful, Put your arms up and down like you're taking a deep breath. When you say, May you be loved, Cross your arms over your chest. Let's do a loving kindness meditation. We are going to send love to some people in our lives.

Awesome! Thank you so much 🙏🏼

This was fun for both me and my 3 year old. I felt the love. Thank you!

I love the addition of the sign language to this loving kindness meditation! It helps bring an “adult” practice to a level you children can grasp! I teach yoga to preschoolers and just started meditation with them through books and breathing. I’m using this one in my next classes! Thank you!! 🙏🏼💜💫
