Welcome to the lovely world of kids' sanctuary. Find a comfortable position. It could be sitting or lying down. Bring a pillow or a blanket to make a cosy spot where you can rest, Just like a little nest. Once you are settled in, We are going to take three relaxing breaths together. A little breath like a puppy, A medium breath like a kitty cat, And a big breath like a lion. Breathe in for your little breath and let it out like the sigh of a puppy. Breathe in for your medium breath and let it out like the meow of a kitty cat. Breathe in for your big breath and let it out like the roar of a lion. In a little while, We are going to stand up as slowly as we can. But before we even move a muscle, Let's think about and imagine what we are going to be moving in order to stand up. Will you move your legs? Will you move your feet? Will you move your arms or your hands? In your head, Imagine how you will be standing up. In your mind, See yourself standing up very slowly. Now it's time to actually move. Stand up as slowly as you can. Pretend you are a sloth and all your movements are really slow. Pay close attention to the parts of your body that are moving slowly. Are your arms heavy and moving slowly? Is your chin down? Are your hands relaxed? How are your fingers? Are they tight together or loose and relaxed? Can you walk in slow motion? How do your feet feel on the ground? Do your feet feel warm or cold? Are you walking on something soft or hard? Keep walking slowly and pay attention to the parts of your body that are moving and how they feel. Keep moving in slow motion until you are ready to settle back into your comfortable nest.
