Be Calm Guided Meditation

Be Calm Guided Meditation

This guided meditation, designed to release stress, has been chosen specifically for the good combination of background soundscape and a gentle (not soppy!) voice.  There is no point in doing a relaxation exercise which has you internally rolling your eyes or needing an unplanned dose of anti-nausea medication to help you stomach the cliché. Jemma has listened to many relaxation and mindfulness options and these fit the bill.  Sensible, good imagery, enough going on for immersion and distraction.  

Children and teenagers might not always show it, but they can be little sponges for the emotion around them. They have a lot on their minds (school, friendships, and relationships) at a time when they are growing and developing. Having someone they love with cancer can be a big thing.  There’s lots of ways to help them, and here is one to think about: encourage them to learn to relax and think positively about themselves in their world. Older children might like to lay next to you.  Teenagers can practice when no-one’s watching them (and they can stay in their room; so no problems there!). J&J xx
