Hello my name is Jacqueline and I am a very proud grandma.
I write guided meditations for my grandchildren and I'm happy to share them with you too.
Meditation is a great way to receive guidance,
Answers to our questions or positive words to inspire us to do and achieve things.
As you journey through this visualization you will be given guidance from some special people and unusual creatures so keep your mind open and be ready to use your imagination.
Let's begin.
Make yourself comfortable either sitting or lying down.
Wiggle your body and make yourself really comfy as you allow your body to completely relax.
Now take a deep breath in and as you breathe out gently close your eyes.
Take another deep breath in then relax your shoulders as you breathe out and now we are ready to begin.
In your mind's eye you see a puddle appearing in front of you.
It's a puddle that is not too big and not too small.
Intrigued by the appearance of this puddle you look into it.
What can you see?
Maybe you see a leaf floating in it or maybe you see your own reflection looking back at you.
The more you look into the puddle you begin to realize that this is no ordinary puddle.
This is a magical puddle which is deeper than you could imagine.
As you gaze into the puddle you see an image appearing before you.
It's the image of one of your friends.
Seeing your friend makes you smile.
Your friend has a happy message for you.
Listen to their message.
The image of your friend begins to fade away.
You blink your eyes and when you look back into the puddle you see an image of an animal.
It's only a small animal but this animal has an important message for you.
You listen to their message.
The image of the small animal fades and immediately a new image comes into view.
It is another animal but this animal is a big animal but you don't feel scared.
You are happy to see it.
This animal has a fascinating message for you.
You listen to their message.
You blink your eyes and the image in the puddle has changed.
You now see the image of a person.
It's a famous person.
Maybe someone from history or someone you have been a fan of for a while.
This person has an inspiring message for you.
You listen to their message.
Now the image in the puddle changes as the famous person disappears.
You now see the image of an insect.
This insect has an interesting message for you.
You listen to their message.
The image of the insect fades and a new image appears in the puddle.
You now see the image of a mythical creature.
This creature is quite magnificent and you are amazed at its presence so close to you.
This mythical creature has an unexpected message for you.
You listen to their message.
As the mythical creature fades away you sense the puddle is about to disappear but there is one more important image for you to see.
You blink your eyes and there before you in the puddle you see the image of another person.
This person is a grown-up.
A grown-up you know very well.
This person has a special message for you.
You listen to their message.
The image fades along with the puddle.
You have enjoyed listening to all the different messages from creatures and people.
Some you may not have thought would appear before you.
You feel very grateful to each of them but now it's time to end this meditation.
Take a breath in as you wiggle your toes and fingers.
As you breathe out gently open your eyes.
Notice how you are feeling.
You should feel happy and inspired by all the amazing messages you have received.
Use this positive energy as you go about your day knowing that you can return to this meditation at any time.
Thank you for meditating with me.
Before you go I would like to ask you a question.
What is the best message you could give to someone?
Thank you for taking this journey with me.

Bye for now.
