Guided meditation – Visualising!

Gives them the tools to take control emotionally and mentally, giving them the power to decide how they will respond (rather than react) to life’s pressures.

Visually guided meditation encourages children to flex that imagination. Like a muscle needs exercise, so does the imagination; reminding and encouraging them to dream and to create. To create solutions! Our children are faced with many challenges everyday.

Visualisation
"Psychologists have discovered that when visualising the brain cannot differentiate between what is real and what is imagined".

We can visualize sitting on a beach, wriggling our toes in the warm sand, inhaling the salt air and listening to the waves crashing onto the rocks. Seagulls squawking as they fly overhead and a soft breeze, feels gentle and cool on our skin. By engaging as many senses as possible during visualization, we are tricking the mind into believing that we are really experiencing all those things.

Affirmations
A way for us to turn our negative self-talk into positive statements. Affirmations are positive thoughts that have great power. These thoughts are like seeds we plant in our minds. Children are constantly filled with apprehension and self doubt when faced with new situations and challenges; kindergarten, school, making new friends etc. When children are particularly anxious or worried they also have negative thoughts and feelings.
