Bubbles-A breathing exercise for children.
Often, meditation in the traditional sense can be difficult for us adults to grasp, let alone children. One of my children has trouble keeping his attention on one thing and sitting still for any amount of time. This breathing exercise is perfect for kids (or adults) like him who need to be having fun and […]
Children’s Mental Health Week 2020!
It’s children’s mental health week so I’ve decided to share a few meditations and exercises that are great for children. (All tried and tested by my motley crew!) Keep an eye out for posts throughout the week!
Tingsha
My youngest was playing with my Tingsha bells this morning and it occurred to me that a post on the origins of this blog’s name is long overdue! Tingsha bells are a pair of small cymbals made of thick metal and joined by a leather cord. Unlike most hand cymbals which are hit together end […]

Group Meditation no.2-Body Scan
This week I’ve decided to link to a previous meditation I’ve written about. The body scan is very well-known and widely used. It’s a simple but incredibly relaxing meditation that I think you’ll enjoy. It’s great at the end of the day to ease out the days stresses and any physical tension. Feel free to […]
Group Meditation no.1-Chocolate!!!
For our first group meditation, I’ve chosen a mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation has become very popular recently due to its proven success in helping to cope with depression, anxiety and the general stresses of life.
