Welcome!

This site is for parents, carers and teachers who are interested in meditation and mindfulness for children.

You will find resources, audios, programs and blogs, to support with nurturing and caring for your child. Especially the divinely gorgeous 0 to 12 year old age group. If we “plant the seed”, and bring in the practice of Meditation, of Presence and Awareness (Mindfulness) and Relaxation in these early formative years, then we offer the child self-soothing mechanisms and empower them to be the creative, happy wonder child that they were born to be!

When a child meditates, they enter the Relaxation Response and their body can go about doing what it naturally does, digesting, repairing and so on. When a child is upset, hyper agitated, anxious, angry etc., they enter the Fight or Flight mode and their body and mind are in an alert and stressed state.

This alert state is necessary for lots of different reasons, namely survival, however it is also important that the child comes back to the Relaxation Response so that they are calm, feel safe and are able to listen and learn.

When a child learns to meditate, they not only enter the Relaxation Response more regularly, they also become more present, mindful, and can self-regulate. They become more aware of what they are doing, how they are reacting, and that they have a choice. It improves their self-awareness, they get to know their feelings, which will have far reaching effects well into adulthood. Self-awareness then creates impulse control and promotes a behaviour of responding rather than reacting.

Within this site you will find Guided Meditations for Children and Adults as audios for purchase (Mp3 download). These meditations can guide you and your child to magical and wonderful places, to places within that are safe and peaceful, and support with a myriad of issues. Please remember however, that whilst meditation offers a wonderful support, it does not replace professional medical or psychological advice. Meditation can be used hand in hand with whatever treatment or advice you may be following.

Offering Guided Meditation to children gives them an opportunity to experience a place within that is safe, a place where they can come to feel love, self-love, joy, happiness and all the pleasant feelings we enjoy feeling. A place of stillness and peace. You will see an inspiring change in your child when they regularly meditate and perhaps want to go to that place too!

Simple moments of Grounding

My family and I have been working a lot on Grounding of late. Simple moments of a cuddle with one of my family or a “group hug” as my son calls it, really paying attention in that moment to the feeling of the hug…the texture of their clothes, the pressure of body contact…even for just a few seconds. Feeling the floor beneath with our
