Relaxation and mindfulness exercises are great for our health, and they help us to prepare to learn. Use this meditation to give yourself a brain break, relax and calm your mind.

Teacher/Parent Notes:

 - Try to make mindfulness mini-sessions a special time of day. Schedule 5 minutes a day, at a time that suits you and your children.
 - A small change in the environment helps children focus on mindfulness practise. You may like to change rooms, dim or turn off the lights or close curtains or blinds.
 - These guided meditations are highly effective when practiced in a quiet space.
