Is meditation for children good and necessary too? Well, the answer is yes. Just like adults, kids also experience hectic routines sometimes. Their mind and body also needs relaxation. Besides, when you teach your younger ones to meditate at an early age, it becomes their habit, especially during adulthood.

This article will educate you about meditation for children, such as when is the right time, good posture, and some suitable practices, etc.

Right Meditation Time for Kids

Yes, meditation is necessary for kids, too, but what is the right time for it? Considering the accuracy of time for introducing meditation to them is very crucial. It can either sound interesting to them or boring. Begin the practice when they are a toddler. Teach them simple techniques. The best time to practice meditation with your kids is when they are calm. Make it part of their morning or bedtime routine.

Teach breathing techniques to children between 3-4 years of age. Elaborate to them how they can feel the change in their bodies during breathing exercises. You can either join them during the exercise or let them practice alone. The choice is yours.

Cat Pose
Tilt your pelvis and position your chest parallel to the ground as you place your palms on the floor. Breathing and refreshing your mind with your kids. There is a garden in your mind, made by all your thoughts. Thoughts you enjoy plant the seeds for flowers you love. Worries or nasty thoughts plant the seeds for weeds.

Child’s Pose
Spread your knees as wide as your mat, keeping the tops of your feet on the floor with the big toes touching. Drop your buttocks back onto your heels and sit tall while lengthening your spine. Bow forward so that your heart and chest drop between or on top of your thighs.

Sound meditation
Sound healing (also called sound bathing) brings about a meditative state that can nurture inspiration through opening up to the many therapeutic tools of sound. What can you hear? The clink of coffee cups, snippets of conversation, sounds from nature? Get curious and feel the buzz of life around you.
