These simple and easy movements help young children prepare their mind and body for mindfulness practices and meditation.
Hi friends.
Today, we're going to get ready
to practice mindfulness together.
To start, we're going to settle down
to make a yummy picnic of apple sauce,
pepperoni pizza, and orange juice.
To get started, let's sit on down
and get really comfy in our seat.
We're going to cross our legs
and place our hands on our knees.
Great.
Now, to make apple sauce and pepperoni
pizza, we're going to crisscross
our arms from one knee to the
other, back and forth, as we sing,
"crisscross apple sauce" three times.
Then we're going to dance our
hands high above our heads as
we chant, "pepperoni pizza."
Okay.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
Crisscross apple sauce.
Pepperoni pizza.
Great.
Let's do that one more time.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
Crisscross apple sauce.
Pepperoni pizza.
Now, can you place your
hands on your head?
Hands on your shoulders?
Hands on your knees?
Hands on your toes?
One big clap and hands in your lap.
Now it's time to make a couple
glasses of orange juice together.
To start, let's take a big breath in
as we scoop up an orange in each hand.
Raise the orange out in front of you.
Then hold your breath while
squeezing your hands into fists.
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze to
get all the orange juice out.
Now, let's breathe out
and lower arms back down.
Let's raise the cup of orange
juice up to take a big drink.
Ah, that was yummy.
Let's make one last glass of orange juice.
Take a big breath in while raising your
arms, holding an orange in each hand.
Hold your breath and squeeze, squeeze,
squeeze to get all the orange juice out.
And slowly breathe out as you
lower your arms back down.
Let's take a big drink
of the orange juice.
Ah, that was very refreshing.
That was so much fun making
apple sauce, pepperoni pizza,
and orange juice together.
Let's do it again soon.
I hope that you felt calm and collected.
Thank you for joining me today
and I'll see you again next time.

Just a small sample of the life-changing 5-star reviews we get on a daily basis.
Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.
- Lauren
Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.
- Kirtus
I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.
- Lydia
So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!
- EJ
Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
- Gina, Plus+ Member
I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
- Babi
You get a lot of useful tips for handling stress and anxiety in 'real life'.
- Joy
Highly recommend.
- Humanfrst
Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
