About this listen
Lie back and let yourself be transported. These imaginative relaxation scripts will help you and your child relax, switch off from everyday worries, and learn the art of being still. Fly on a magic carpet or a Pegasus, sink into an enormous football shirt or bowl of soup, float on the ocean on a surfboard, or follow a red blood cell round your body. These adventures in relaxation can be used at the end of a yoga class, before bedtime, or any time when some calm is needed.

Story
Meditation stories may just be the breakthrough you and your kids need to sleep soundlessly at night. Elevated stress levels? Frustrating exhaustion? Sleepless nights? These are just a few things you and your kids may be feeling at the moment. It all links back to those many nights you tumble and turn in your bed as you try to drift off into dreamland. And if this continues night after night, it can lead to an unhappy life or a childhood void of excitement, imagination, and energy.

Meditation for kids....
An interesting meditative and imaginative book for children. I can see this as a useful book to help children use their imagination instead of playing on a cell phone. It can be used to make children become more aware of the wonders of nature and other wonders. Enjoyed! Grab a copy! This book will be a valuable asset!
