Hello and welcome to this cheeky monkey meditation.
The purpose of this meditation is to offer a moment of presence to our children.
It doesn't have to be serious and only for adults.
And I realized when I put meditation track for my daughter that she actually loved it.
And I said that's probably something to do with children.
Children by nature are very present and this meditation is for them.
So it can be used at the end of the day to cool down before going to bed.
It can be used for the sleep or when you're stressed,
When you had something that upset you or you need some downtime.
So let's just see what happens and have fun.
So let's start by relaxing our body and taking a position that's as comfortable as possible.
Either sitting cross-legged on the floor,
Laying on the floor,
Sitting on the sofa or a chair or on your parents lap if you want.
And now let's focus on our body and more precisely our breathing.
This is a meditation I've learned from Thich Nhat Hanh,
Watching videos of Thich Nhat Hanh and it's very dear to me and I'm very happy to share that with you.
The principle is just to focus on the breath.
So yeah,
Just focus on the tip of your nose visualizing the air entering your nose as you inhale and then your tummy inflating like a balloon,
Like a big balloon.
And then when you reach the tip of the inhale and you just release and relax and let go of all the air and the tension in your body.
And let's do that a few times.
And now let's start with a meditation and the principle is we're going to focus on the breathing and just say a few affirmations.
So let's start with the first one.
Breathing in,
I know I'm breathing in.
Breathing out,
I know I'm breathing out.
In,
Out.
Next.
Breathing in,
I know I am alive.
Breathing out,

Breathing in,
I am aware of the miracle of life.
Breathing out,
I know I am the miracle of life.
In miracle,
Out miracle.
Next one.
Breathing in,
I know I am in the here and now.
Breathing out,
What a wonderful moment.
In,
Here and now,
Out wonderful moment.
In,
Here and now,
Out wonderful moment.
And last one.
Breathing in,
I love the present moment.
Breathing out,
I know that's the only moment.
In,
Present moment,
Out,
Only moment.
Well done.
Well done.
Thank yourself for taking this meditation.
Give yourself some thanks.
Maybe give your parents a hug if it feels right.
And I wish you a great continuation to your day,
Whatever you're doing after.
And I thank you for taking the time to take this meditation.
Namaste.
