Hi friends,
Welcome.
It's time to do a stone meditation with the adventures of SuperStretch.
I'm SuperStretch.
My friends and I live at 247 Mindful Pathway.
It's our mission to make balance a part of your day because you are a superstar,
Even when you don't feel okay.
The meditation we're going to do offers you a way to let go of bad feelings in your mind so you can relax and find calm.
We're going to dig into our super kit and tap into our life force,
Let go of stress and anxiety by creating fun tools to see in a new way and find freedom from fear to enjoy life's ever-changing adventures.
Come on friends,
Let's join the meditation with the SuperStretch team to discover how to make Breathe Stretch Play a part of every day.
But before we start,
Remember it may be hard at first to teach your body and your mind to let go and relax.
It will get easier to stop for a minute,
Pay attention to your breath and feel what's going on inside of you.
We don't need to push anything and there is always going to be room for improvement and growth.
So take a breath,
Calm your mind and step forward.
For this practice,
You can be sitting up tall in lotus flower pose or lay down.
Begin to feel a big smile wash over your face and take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Let's try that again.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
And don't forget to put on your listening ears.
There's no place to go,
No job to do.
You're just breathing.
Did you know that one of the best ways to be calm is to breathe?
And one of SuperStretchers favorite things to do to take a deep breath,
Calm the mind and build energy is to listen to stories.
Do you want to listen to one with us?
This one is about finding some colorful stones at the bottom of a lake.
Do you see them?
They all seem to look the same from the surface.
But when we start to look a little bit closer,
Take a deep breath in,
A deep breath out.
Even closer.
Can you see them?
Look at that shape.
Oh,
Wow.
And that one is so clear.
Whoa.
It almost looks like that one has a face on it.
Take a deep breath in.
A deep breath out.
All these stones at the bottom of the lake really are all so unique and different.
Let's pick some of the ones that catch our eye up.
Ooh,
This one looks like a flower.
Breathing in,
I feel like a flower.
Breathing out,
I feel fresh,
Blooming and bright.
Fresh as the little beads of dew that sit on the petals in the morning sun.
Do you feel it?
Should we place that stone back down in the lake and find some more?
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Wow.
This one looks like a mountain.
Breathing in,
As I hold onto the stone,
I feel like a mountain.
And breathing out,
I see myself solid and strong,
Stable.
Nothing can move me.
I'm as firm as the earth.
Do you feel it?
Let's place this stone back in the lake and look for more.
I'm having fun.
Are you?
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Ah,
This one looks like water.
It's so clear.
As you place it in,
Breathe in and feel it in your palm like water.
Breathing out,
Feel clear and calm and still.
Feel this stone in the palm of your hand reflecting what is real and true inside of you.
Do you feel it?
Let's place this one back in the lake and find another one.
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Hmm.
Do you see that one right there?
Ooh,
Let's grab it.
This one looks and feels as light as space.
When I hold it in my hand,
It's just so airy.
Breathing in,
I feel like space.
And breathing out,
I feel free.
Free and as bright as a star in the sky.
Or a rocket ship soaring to the moon.
Or a bird flying in the sky,
Soaring above us.
Do you feel it?
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
And let's place this spacious stone back in the lake.
Did you like that story?
How does your body and mind feel now?
Strong,
Beautiful,
Brave,
Free?
Breathe in and breathe out.
A big,
Huge smile.
Hmm.
Super Stretch believes that when we pay attention and focus our minds on something as simple as holding a stone,
It can make us feel so good and relaxed that we find freedom from fear and release all of our scattered feelings to become as strong as a mountain and as bright as a colorful flower.
Thank you friend for being such a good listener.
Don't you feel super inside and out?
Remember that at any time you can find this quiet space to be the best person you can be because you have all kinds of tools in your super kit to stay calm,
Connected,
And happy.
You are a superhero and creating balance is your superpower.
I hope you are excited for the next adventure with Super Stretch.
Make Breathe Stretch Play a part of every day.
Love Super Stretch.
