Do you actually want a bedtime story that actually helps your child fall asleep? Than this book is for your family! A Guided Meditation lullaby is a fun and lighthearted introduction to meditation and centering the mind. This lullaby can help young ones along their journey to becoming more mindful, by grounding them in the present moment. This meditation can help calm your child into more of a relaxation state, by concentrating their thoughts inward and centering their thoughts on their own bodies, one body part at a time, so they can relax and have the sweetest of dreams. The sweet illustrated animals represent the different body parts your child will learn to relax and center their own thoughts on. The long legs of the giraffe, the many arms of the octopus, the large head of an elephant, and the big belly of a sea horse, all correspond to the area in which your child will be concentrating on, plus the soaring wings of an owl, the starry nights and the moonlight, all take you child's thoughts to a safe dreamy place where they can relax and begin their sweet dreams. There are many ways to make this rhyme your own, by adding new body parts, or adding new dreaming visions. You can cater this lullaby to meet the needs of your individual child. I hope this little rhyme becomes a part of your family's night time routine as it has for ours. This book is geared for children 2-8 years of age. Excerpt from book: "Your legs are getting tired. Your arms are getting sleepy. Your belly's getting heavy.... It is safe to fall asleep." "You're dreaming of the starlight. You're dreaming of the wildlife. You're dreaming of taking flight. Your body is now asleep."
