For today's mindful moment, we're going to take a journey in our imagination to our Peaceful Garden. This script works well in the classroom and is designed for children sitting at desks, but could be modified for lying down. Be sure to listen in for the full meditation.

Find a comfortable place to rest, close your eyes, or gaze down. Squeeze all of the muscles in your body, then relax. Repeat this one more time.

Take a deep breath in, fill your belly, hold, then release.

Imagine your desk becomes a magic carpet.

What do you see? Buildings? Birds? Clouds?

Who do you see? Friends?

What do you feel? A cool breeze?

Gently land in your garden. Spend some time exploring and decorating your garden.

What do you hear?

What's the temp?

What do you smell?

Now rest peacefully in your garden, then climb back on your magic carpet and return to your desk. Take a moment to remember how peaceful and happy you felt in your garden. Keep this feeling with you throughout your day!
