Ammi S Adventures A Guided Meditation For Kids

Ammi’s Adventures: Wind

Hi! I’m Ammi. My name means “the whole world is inside of me,” and I think it’s true: I carry the whole world in my mind and heart and body. I know you do, too! I like to play games, explore, and discover what makes me, me. I’m so glad we’re together on this journey! Have you ever thought about the wind? It is amazing. It can bring a sudden gust of cold and make us shiver with goosebumps popping on our skin. Or, it can bring a constant warm breeze that gently hugs us. Sometimes it makes sounds. Soft and light ones, like leaves dancing on their branches. Or loud and fast ones like whipping winds on the sea, whitecaps spraying their salty showers. The wind is powerful and always present. There is even wind inside us! Our breath is our wind. Most of the time we don’t think about breathing, it’s automatic. But when we do, it can change things. The wind can clear away what’s old to make room for the new. It can center us like a soothing lullaby. Or, it can awaken us, like a beating drum. Wind connects us to all of life. There is nothing and no one the wind can’t touch. Life is always speaking to us and the wind can help us to practice listening. There are so many ways to listen and so many things to listen to.

Life is alive and we are listening. Love from you new friend, Ammi

A Fun Mindfulness Practice with the Wind—for Anytime and Anywhere

Sometimes when we listen deeply we SEE.Like when an image, picture, or color comes into our minds. Sometimes when we listen deeply, we HEAR.Like when words or songs whisper just when we need them. Sometimes when we listen deeply we KNOW.Like when someone walks by us and we know they are mad. Sometimes when we listen deeply we FEEL.Like when we get sad when someone close to us is sad. Listening to the whispers… Think about something or someone that feels hard for you right now. Close your eyes for a moment and take a big deep breath, connecting to your wind. See or sense that something or someone is out in front of you. Maybe as a picture, a color, or a feeling. As you continue your soothing breaths, send wind to what you see or sense and watch as the wind works. Sit for a moment and listen with your whole self for the whispers. They always come from deep inside. Trust yourself. You are love.
