What if there was a way for parents to help your kids calm down and go to sleep faster, and to feel better and not so tired in the morning?
Quiet Time Meditations are designed to do just that. By using evidence-based practices, such as repetitive rhythms, calming melodies, beautiful pictures and guided meditations listeners will be immersed in nature and experience it from a new perspective.
The meditation guides listeners into imagining the world as if they were an animal in their natural environment. There are facts about life-cycles and habitat mixed with character concepts and esteem-building affirmations.
The series starts with the caterpillar so listeners experience nature from the ground up and imagine crawling through the grass and savoring the delights of the garden. Butterfly teaches us to embrace the changes that make us beautiful and to shine our light in the world.
Feel wise, strong and powerful as you soar with the eagles and run with the wolves and then connect to your intuition, insight and to the earth with the sea turtle and bat.
There are audio only files included for those times when you need a break from the screens.
Parents can watch each video once or twice with your kids and use the time as a way to connect on a deeper level.
Add the Parents Guide to receive daily reminder emails that include step-by-step instructions, guidance and support. The Family Learning add-on brings you ideas for books, art projects and adventures in nature and discussion questions to let your kids imagination take over.
