As Brave as a Lion Meditation

Description

As brave as a lion is a simile used in the English language to refer to someone being as brave and courageous and the king of the jungle.

When our children are very little and the world around them is fast-paced, unpredictable, and often insecure, there are many times when they will cry or be upset. It’s a traumatic time when our child cries if we leave them at child care, kindergarten, or in the care of others.  As parents, it pulls on our heartstrings and the experience is often as traumatic for mums letting go as it is for little ones learning to be more independent!

Encouraging our little ones to be as brave as a lion is something they must learn in order to be independent. As children grow and develop, they need to be able to separate from their primary caregivers. Many little ones who suffer from separation anxiety when they are babies, go on to continue having issues when they enter primary school.

So this meditation is designed to help your child feel braver. During this meditation, your child will be introduced to their very own brave and strong lion who wants to help them when they feel alone. The brave lion gives your child a glowing ball of light that your child can keep and put inside their belly so that whenever they feel alone or scared, they know they are not. You can listen to this meditation together and then perhaps tell them a story about how brave a lion is. I do hope it helps.
