## Part 2 of 2

Last week we got you excited about meditating with children. This week we explain how to meditate with children of all ages.

###

Meditation Positions for older children:

![child-meditation](https://www.seekwithinyou.com/images/child-vector-200-283.jpg "child-meditation")

- Lie side-by-side on the floor and grab your child’s hand with one hand and place the other hand on your heart. Your child should place their free hand over their heart.*-OR-*
- Sit side-by-side and take hold of your child’s hand. Use the other hand to place it over your heart. Instruct your child to do the same.

Use the [guided meditation mp3 ](https://www.seekwithinyou.com/booksaudio/available/product/27-relationship-guided-meditation "kids meditation")for the meditations. The guided meditation is less than 15-minutes and will guide you to relax and open your heart. Relaxing is the [key to healing](#online-course). Alternatively, you can focus on your breath for these meditations. During the meditation, coordinate your breathing together while taking long and deep abdominal breaths. If any thoughts come to your mind, release them and return to your breaths.

### <a name="younger"></a>Meditation Positions for younger children:

 ![baby-boy-meditation](https://www.seekwithinyou.com/images/baby-boy-vector-200-277.jpg "baby-boy-meditation")

- Place your child in a seat in front of you. Position the seat so that when you are sitting you are looking into your child’s eyes at the same level. Your focus for this meditation is their eyes. Release any thoughts that come to your mind, even wonderful thoughts such as “I love you”. Place a smile on your face, breath from your abdomen and keep your relaxed attention on their eyes. Do this the entire meditation for however long you desire. You may want to start with 5-minutes, until you get comfortable with it. *-OR-*
- Get into a comfortable sitting position and place your child in your lap. Your child’s back should be facing you. Hold your child by placing both of your hands on its’ heart. Use the [guided meditation mp3 ](https://www.seekwithinyou.com/booksaudio/available/product/27-relationship-guided-meditation "kids meditation")for this meditation. It is less than 15-minutes and will guide you on relaxing and opening the heart. The process of relaxation opens one to healing on all levels (mind,body and spirit). Alternatively, place your focus on breathing. Take long and deep abdominal breaths. Allow your child to breath on its own. Eventually, your breaths will be in sync. Let go and allow this to happen.
