QUIET TIME MEDITATIONS

Butterfly Nap-time Meditation

Transcript:

You know, Children don't come with an instruction manual! 

Hi! I'm Debi Kret, Master's level, Board Certified, Neurologic Music Therapist and the founder of Mind-Full Music Therapy Services in Phoenix, Arizona.

And I absolutely loved raising my two daughters into the successful, beautiful, intelligent young women they are today. But it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done in my life and as I look back, I wonder what could I have done better?

So I've created these Quiet Time Meditations as a gift to myself of what I would have done for my children had I known thirty-something years ago, what I know now. And as a gift to you, as parents, and as a gift to your children.

They are filled with animal stories designed to take you away from the stress of your everyday life. To give you affirmations to help build your self-esteem and make you feel good, and most importantly, they will help you relax and sleep.

So try out the FREE Butterfly Meditation, watch the video and check it out, when you're ready, check out the whole series.

Discover what it's like to be a caterpillar and savor the simple delights of the garden, to turn into a butterfly and make the world a more beautiful place. To have wings like an eagle and soar high above the heavens! To run like a wolf, to swim like a sea turtle, and to have a connection to your environment like the bat. 

Try out Quiet Time Meditations now! I hope you sleep better and I hope you feel better!

Quiet Time Meditations are designed to help remove the thoughts and worries of everyday life. Imagine being a caterpillar (or other animal) and experiencing the world from a different perspective.

The series starts at the very beginning with a caterpillar. Imagine how it feels to explore the garden, taste it's delights and then have a nice long rest.

In the second video, you wake up from a long slumber and find out that your arms have turned into wings. Watch and listen as needed. And then, when your ready for metamorphosis, come on back and order the rest of the series!

B.       Parents and teachers can use the discussion prompts to create art, music and learning projects, and talk to kids about the many different aspects of animal life, from the way they live, the way they overcome obstacles and are perceived by society.

4.       How does this help me to calm down?

7.       How does this help reduce my child’s reliance on video?

A.       The videos are beautiful illustrations of the words and will teach concepts and ideas for visual learners if they aren’t already familiar with the animal or environment, but they aren’t necessary for a good experience.
