Being Kind – Imagine how good it feels to do something nice for another person. Imagine how happy they would be.

Friendly Cloud Meditation – Imagine a puffy white cloud comes down out of the sky to take you on an adventure. See your world from a new perspective high up in the sky. Have a happy day floating and riding the breezes in your friendly cloud.

Happy Place – Learn to relax your muscles and go to a special safe and happy place inside yourself that is always there when you feel a little sad or scared or anytime you want, you can go there. Pleasant memories will take you off into sweet dreams.

Rainy Day Meditation – Imagine raindrops racing each other down the window pane as you listen to the sounds or rain and imagine images of lightning, colorful umbrellas, catching raindrops on your tongue and rainbows filling the sky as the sun shines through the clouds. The sounds of music and rain in the background cause you to feel drowsy as you drift off into a peaceful sleep.

Time Out - We all need time out once in awhile. Maybe your parents put you in time out till you change your behavior. Learn how certain simple breathing techniques can help calm you down while you visualize some peaceful scenes and listen to nature sounds. You will soon feel better and be ready to join the family again.

You're Perfect just the way you are – Happy to be me! - This is a story about a little frog that doesn't want to be a frog. He wishes he was a pony a cat or a duck, anything but a frog. He finally learns in the story that it really is fun and very important to be who he is after he meets a little boy who wants to play with him. Sound effect make it seem like you are really there.
