White Light Bedtime Visualization For Children

This short bedtime visualization helps children transform fear into feelings of safety, calm, and love before sleep. It is a calming bedtime practice in which children are guided to imagine themselves surrounded by a big ball of white light — "a big white sun" — surrounding and protecting them. They may also invite loved ones, pets, or anyone they wish to protect into the light with them as they drift gently to sleep.

Inspired by a nightly practice shared in our family for many years, this meditation was created to help children fall asleep feeling safe, comforted, and deeply loved. It's perfect for bedtime, anxiety, fears, or after bad dreams or difficult days.

The track begins with a brief musical intro played on Koshi chimes by Susan, the creator/narrator of the meditation. There is no background music or sound.
