Our Acting Head Teacher, Bea Harley, has been leading guided meditation sessions with Lotus class (Years 5 & 6) which has inspired the children to create their own meditation journeys:
“Are you comfortable? Well, if you are, good. Now we can begin. Imagine you are lying on a rug. A very fluffy, very warm rug. But your stay on your very fluffy, very warm rug is not long because now you can feel the floor sink beneath you, and you just keep slowly falling down and down.
But you stop and when the darkness clears you realise you’re on a cloud, floating in the air, and just in the background, just ever so faintly is the noise of a busy city below you but you choose not to hear it. And it’s just you and your cloud up in the sky and it’s peaceful and quiet. you sit there for a while, just peaceful and quiet.”
…………………………..
“Relax. make sure you are in your most comfortable position. Imagine you are flying, gliding around the clouds. You look around and see one cloud that looks like a horse, one that looks like a wheelbarrow and another that looks like a rabbit. You then dip down below cloud level over a city turns into countryside, which turns into beaches, which turns into ocean. A pair of bottle-nosed dolphins leap below as you soar through the sky. As you turn to go home you see a mother whale with its young swimming below you. They stay with you until you near the beach and then they leave, tails flapping goodbye to you. As soon as you touch down gently, the smell of home overwhelms you. You go inside with a smile on your face.”
