Publisher's summary

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.

Written and narrated by Maria Oliver. Original piano compositions written and performed by Maria Oliver (www.boxmooryoga.co.uk)

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!

Great audio to keep busy kids still for a moment !

I really enjoyed listening to this as an adult, and my daughter enjoyed the stories as well. I love all the imagery and would highly suggest this book to other parents and even daycare centers. The music adds a nice touch as well.
