Hi my little friend.
My name is Samantha.
You can call me the Blissful Soul.
Do you want to go on a little journey with me?
This is about a little kitty who learned how to meditate just like others and learned how much better it made the kitty feel.
How about you settle into a comfy spot to join me?
If you want,
You can grab a blanket and pillow.
If you are comfortable doing this,
You can close your eyes to imagine this story too,
Pretending you are the kitty and following along.
Let's get started my little friend.
Once upon a time,
A fluffy white kitty cat named Whiskers lived in a cozy little house on the edge of a bustling city.
Whiskers was a curious and playful feline,
Always getting into mischief and exploring every nook and cranny of her home.
But one day,
While lounging in a sunbeam by the window,
She overheard her human friend talking about something called meditation.
Intrigued by the idea,
Whiskers decided to give it a try with her human and follow along.
They found a quiet spot in the house and closed their eyes.
The human said to take a deep breath to get started.
She started to focus along.
As she focused on her breathing,
She breathed lightly in and out.
Doing this,
She began to think about everything for which she was grateful.
She thought about the delicious food her human always gave her,
The warm bed she slept in,
And the toys she loved to play with.
Can you think of similar things you are grateful for,
Like Whiskers?
As she continued her meditation,
Whiskers realized just how lucky she was to have such a loving home and caring human.
She felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her chest as she thought about all the little things that brought her joy each day.
From the chirping birds outside her window to the gentle purring of her human,
When they cuddled together on the couch,
Whiskers was filled with gratitude for the simple pleasures in her life.
Do you have humans in your life that you love too?
Perhaps that takes care of you?
With each passing moment,
Whiskers felt more and more at peace.
She let go of any worries or anxieties and simply focused on the present moment,
Feeling grateful for all the blessings in her life.
Can you also feel this peace in your life?
As she opened her eyes,
She stretched out her paws and let out a contented purr,
Feeling lighter and happier than she had in a long time.
Perhaps you can slowly open your eyes and smile and stretch like Whiskers has done.
From that day on,
Whiskers made gratitude meditation a regular part of her routine.
She found that taking the time to reflect on all the good things in her life helped her to feel more positive and appreciative.
And as she continued to practice gratitude,
She noticed that her playful and mischievous nature only seemed to shine brighter,
Bringing joy and laughter to everyone around her.
I hope you will feel gratitude each day too.
If you want to come back and listen to Whiskers,
I will be here to join you.
