This is a BEDTIME MEDITATION focusing on the theme of COURAGE.
Kids are guided into a very relaxing moment at home in their cozy beds, where they focus on their breathing while listening to an audio quiet time activity. This meditation can be used as a nighttime routine before bed is to help them ease into slumber land, or also before nap.
This meditation is inspired by Sadie and Maceo.
The Breathing Practice for this month is BUBBLE GUM breathing.
