Kids Meditation: Rainbow Visualization for Positive Energy Script:

Welcome!

I’m so happy you’re here to join me for this guided meditation. Today, we’re going to practice a special technique called visualization. This means that we’ll use our imaginations to create a calming and positive image in our minds.

Do you know what a rainbow is? It’s a beautiful natural phenomenon that happens when sunlight and water droplets come together in the sky. Rainbows have seven different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

In this meditation, each color of the rainbow is associated with a different emotion. For example, red represents love and happiness, orange stands for creativity and joy, yellow symbolizes confidence.

We will explore these inner emotions by using our imagination to visualize a rainbow in front of us. We will focus on each color and connect with the positive emotion that it represents. By doing this, we can fill ourselves up with positive energy and feel more relaxed and happy.

I want you to find a comfortable place to sit or lie down, somewhere you won’t be disturbed for the next few minutes. Make sure you feel relaxed and at ease.

When you’re ready, take a deep breath in through your nose, filling up your lungs, and then slowly exhale through your mouth. Let’s do this two more times.

Inhale deeply, [pause]

and exhale slowly. [pause]

One more time,

inhale, [pause]

and exhale. [pause]

Now, I want you to close your eyes, or if you prefer, you can keep them open and look down at the floor. Take another deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow yourself to sink deeper into relaxation. [pause]

As we begin our meditation, thoughts and worries may come up in your mind. That’s okay.

Just acknowledge them, and then let them go. Imagine putting them on a little cloud that floats away from you. You can come back to those thoughts later, but for now, let’s focus on our breathing and our visualization.

Take a moment to feel your body and notice any areas of tension or discomfort. If you’re feeling any discomfort, gently adjust your position to find more comfort. Wiggle your fingers and toes a bit, roll your shoulders, or stretch your neck.

Now, bring your attention back to your breathing.

Inhale deeply, [pause]

and exhale slowly. [pause]

Keep breathing at a steady, relaxed pace. [pause]

Now imagine a beautiful rainbow appearing in front of you, peeking out from behind big white fluffy clouds. This stunning rainbow is arching gracefully across a vast blue sky. You can see the curvature of the rainbow as it arcs from one end to the other, almost as if it’s a bridge connecting the earth and the sky.

The white fluffy clouds are scattered around the sky, and the sun is shining down, casting a warm and gentle glow over you.

You can feel the warmth of the sun on your face.

The air feels fresh and invigorating, and you can feel a soft breeze brushing against your skin, carrying the sweet scent of blooming flowers.

As you focus your attention on the rainbow, you can see each of its colors shining brilliantly.

Take a moment to soak in this beautiful and magical scene, feeling grateful for the gift of nature and the wonder of life.

As you’re focusing on the beautiful rainbow, you see the color red. As you look at the red on the rainbow you can feel the warmth spreading through your body.

You can feel your heart filling up with love and happiness, just like when you’re spending time with your family or friends.
