Starfish Mindfulness for Relaxation and Rejuvenation 15 minutes
Sit back or lay down and imagine you are a starfish on a warm beach.
A young Starfish has 5 Rays
For us today let’s use our 5 Rays Head Arms Legs
Let’s think about being on warm sand
It feels nice on our back and shoulders
Let’s take in a breathe and when we breath out, fill up each Ray
Moving air into our belly when we breathe in and very slowly breath out filling our Rays
First the HEAD Feel the warm sand under our head and neck
The air comes in from our nose or mouth
Swirls around in our belly and gently blowing out our head fills up—feeling it around your hair and ears Relaxing our neck Ray all the muscles that might be a little tight relax
Now Arm Rays of our starfish body
Feel our shoulders getting warm relaxing in the sand.
Letting your breath slowly fill up the arms all around the elbows and hands.
Feeling so happy relaxed
Gently breathing we think about filling up our belly, the back relaxes into the sand feeling so warm and happy
Now Leg Rays of our starfish body start to feel warm laying on the sand.
Slowly breathing longer so our breath reaches our knees filling them up then we breathe into our feet and with the next breath our toes.
Now our starfish body is all filled up and smiling
A big breath into the body and blowing out into all the Rays
Now a big stretch all your rays reaching out and smiling big
Wiggle your fingers and toes
Mindfulness with Orange
Our Mind, our Thoughts, our Attention can get stuck in the day. On something that does not glow with happy thoughts. We can change that feeling with Mindfulness.
Hold the orange hear your heart and take 3 relaxing breaths with your mouth Just to get our body ready
Think about smelling the orange. Breathe through your nose. Like tiny happy oranges jumping up to your nose. This is the Oils in the skin of the orange
The smell can start happiness like little oranges bouncing through your body.
Peel the Orange: listen to the little sounds of the peel. Do you smell the orange oil even more
Separate the orange. Skin White strings and put them in a cup or bowl. Peel the pieces away. Does it smell even stronger? Is there s sound. Does juice jump out
Chew the Orange: one section slowly, focusing on the sound of chewing and the taste of the orange pulp.
This exercise can be a fun and educational way for kids to practice mindfulness and awareness. It encourages them to appreciate the simple act of peeling an orange and to engage fully with the experience.
