Reflective Gratitude Meditation

This guided meditation supports children in cultivating gratitude towards their mind, body, things and people in their lives.

Hello and welcome.

Today, we're going to take a moment

to remember some special things that

you can say an extra big thank you

to for bringing joy into your life.

Let's start by sitting or

laying down in a comfy position.

You can lay or sit however you like, so as

long as you feel comfortable in your spot.

Take your time in finding a position that

feels just right for your whole body.

Let's take a big breath

in through your nose.

And slowly out through your mouth.

One more big breath in.

And slowly breathe out.

Today you might have had many different

emotions, happy, excited, tired, or sad.

Every feeling you experience is

absolutely okay and normal to feel for

your emotions are how your mind tells

you what you may need in the moment.

Let's say thank you to your mind

for always trying to help you.

Thank you.

Your body has also done a big job

today, moving you around to different

places, each part working so well

together to allow you to experience all

the moments that this day brought in.

Let's say thank you to your

body for serving you today.

Thank you.

Let's let your mind travel now to your

favorite place in the whole world.

Imagine being in that place.

It might be somewhere quiet

and safe or vibrant and full of

people and things that you love.

What might you hear in

your favorite place?

What might you smell and feel there?

Let's say thank you to your favorite

place for being in your life.

Thank you.

Now, can you think about someone

very special to you that you

share lots of love and joy with?

They may be a family member or a friend.

Imagine that person in front of you now.

Imagine in your mind your person

looking at you with a big smile

and opening their arms for a hug.

Think about how loving it

feels to cuddle your person.

Let's say thank you to your

person for sharing their love.

Thank you.

There are so many beautiful things

in your life, so many loving memories

that you can think about and enjoy.

Today, you might have made

many kinds of memories.

Some were good, and some were difficult.

You can learn from both

kinds of experiences.

And now, you know, more

than you did the day before.

Lastly, let's say a big thank you

for this life and the opportunity

to fully experience today.

Thank you.

Thank you for your practice and dedicating

this time towards mindfulness today.

I hope that you've enjoyed this meditation

and I'll see you again next time.
