Guided meditation track for children, by Tabitha Bevington (aged 9) and Gary Bamford (not aged 9).

lyrics

Welcome to LISL, which is short for Life In Sloth Lane.

To begin with, we’re just going to lie or sit somewhere cosy and warm, close our eyes and relax.

Feel your tummy slowly drift up and down, as you take long slow breaths, and start to feel calm, sleepy and snoozy.

Now, make sure you’re warm enough and perhaps cover yourself with a blanket or a duvet, if you haven’t already, and get your snuggly, cuddly toy to cuddle.

When you’ve done that, start to imagine what it would be like to be a sloth. What would you eat? What would you drink? Where would you live? Where would you sleep and snuggle up?

Maybe you would eat sweets, or leaves…or leaves made out of sweets? Would you drink water, or milk warmed up in the microwave? Well, that’s what I would drink.

If you were a sloth, you’d probably live in a tree, unless you were a royal sloth, in which case you’d live in a palace. You would sleep almost all the time but you’d visit your jungle friends when you were awake.

You would crawl suuuper slowly from branch to branch, blending into your surroundings with your brown and moss-covered fur, unless you’re a rainbow sloth, like me. I’m also a mindfulness sloth and I like to do this exercise to help me go to sleep…

Tense the muscles in one of your hands and hold for 5..4..3..2..1.. and release.
Focus on the lovely feeling of your muscles relaxing.

Now tense the muscles in your other hand. Hold for 5..4..3..2..1.. and release. Again, enjoy the feeling.

Repeat in all other parts of your body, then just relax.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope by now you are really sleepy or even asleep. Sweet dreams my sloth friend. Night night.
