Imagination Vacations (guided visualisations) are a powerful way to introduce children to meditation and to help reduce stress and anxiety.

To prepare:

• create a calm environment – dim lights, maybe soft appropriate music
• bring the group into a calm space with 5 Belly/Ocean Breaths
• read in a smooth and soft tone
• pace yourself - allow for pauses

Useful in:

• transition times, maybe after lunch
• before the end of day
• when you need to turn in and quieten down
