Speaker 1: Hello, little yogis welcome to our meditation. Find a quiet,
Speaker 1: comfy place to sit and let's get started. You'll want
Speaker 1: to have a mirror close by, I'll tell you, and
Speaker 1: to use it. Invite mom, Dad, big sis or big
Speaker 1: Bro to join you. This one's going to be fun.
Speaker 1: Do you know how to meditate? Of course you do.
Speaker 1: Meditation is just being mindful of what is happening right now.
Speaker 1: And what is mindfulness? It is simply noticing the present moment.
Speaker 1: We all meditate every day. It just depends on what
Speaker 1: we choose to focus on today. Let's focus on what
Speaker 1: is special about each one of us. That's right. If
Speaker 1: you're listening to this, you are the most special you
Speaker 1: there will ever be. That's something to celebrate. Always in meditation,
Speaker 1: it's important to breathe fresh news air into our bodies
Speaker 1: to make room for magic. Close your eyes for a moment.
Speaker 1: Place one hand on your belly and one on your heart.
Speaker 1: Feel the rise and fall of your belly as you
Speaker 1: breathe naturally. Now, notice the beat of your heart. No
Speaker 1: one else's heart is beating the way yours is. Right now.
Speaker 1: These two feelings mean you're alive. What a gift. Together
Speaker 1: let's give ourselves a big breath in. Breathing in through
Speaker 1: your nose, fill up your belly like a balloon to
Speaker 1: the count of three, one, two three, Hold it for
Speaker 1: a moment, and breathing out from your mouth, empty your
Speaker 1: belly for a count of three to one. Breathe in
Speaker 1: for one, two three, hold and empty your belly for
Speaker 1: three two one. Do this a few times on your own.
Speaker 1: Counting in your head helps create a rhythm of breath.
Speaker 1: When you feel ready, gently open your eyes and place
Speaker 1: your hands on your lap. Next, with your eyes still open,
Speaker 1: sit on your bottom and send your legs out long
Speaker 1: in front of you. You can lean back on your
Speaker 1: hands if that's comfortable. Your toes should be staring right
Speaker 1: back at you. Wiggle your toes and slowly start to
Speaker 1: scan your body from your toes to ankles, up to
Speaker 1: your legs and your knees. Notice anything different, maybe a
Speaker 1: scar or a birthmark you forgot you had. When you
Speaker 1: notice something, stop right there and stare at it a
Speaker 1: little longer. Look at it with love and try to
Speaker 1: remember the story of how it became a part of you.
Speaker 1: If there's nothing you remember about it, just get it
Speaker 1: with love. Thanking it for being a part of you.
Speaker 1: As a kid, I played a lot and fell down
Speaker 1: even more. I have many scars on my legs and
Speaker 1: knees that remind me of all the care free and
Speaker 1: fearless fun I had when I was your age. Those
Speaker 1: moments are a part of my journey, and they make
Speaker 1: me special. Your scars make you special too. Let's keep scanning.
Speaker 1: Now we'll travel up our legs to our bellies. Oh,
Speaker 1: look at that. We've reached our belly buttons. This is
Speaker 1: what connected us to our moms and their bellies. We
Speaker 1: all have one, and yet no two are the same.
Speaker 1: Pretty special if you ask me. While we're here, let's
Speaker 1: bring our hands palms face up, give me a thumbs up. Now,
Speaker 1: face the inside of your thumb towards you. Notice all
Speaker 1: the tiny squirlies your thumbprint is made of, just like
Speaker 1: your belly button. No two thumbprints are the same. That
Speaker 1: means almost eight billion people on planet Earth and not
Speaker 1: a single person has the same fingerprint. Okay, remember the mirror.
Speaker 1: It's time to stand in front of it. Pause this
Speaker 1: video and find the nearest mirror. Now that we are
Speaker 1: face to face with our own reflection, let's start with
Speaker 1: a smile. Smile back at the beautifully unique, special human
Speaker 1: you see in front of you. Do this with a
Speaker 1: friend or family member to make it even more fun.
Speaker 1: Inhale through your nose, exhale, flutter your lips together. Do
Speaker 1: you feel the vibration that your lips send through your
Speaker 1: entire body. Let's do it again. Inhale, exhale, flood or
Speaker 1: your lips together. Stare silently at yourself. Notice everything about
Speaker 1: your face, eyebrows, your nose, your eyes. Maybe you have freckles,
Speaker 1: maybe you don't. Whatever it is, it's beautiful and it's you.
Speaker 1: Prepare to repeat after me. I am special. There is
Speaker 1: no one who can be me better than me. My talents,
Speaker 1: my heart, my bravery, my love, it is all so
Speaker 1: so unique. I am a gift to the whole world.
Speaker 1: You did awesome. Thank you for simply being you. I'm
Speaker 1: so grateful to share this planet with someone as special
Speaker 1: as you are. Choose to have a beautiful day. Choose
Speaker 1: to have a beautiful year. Choose to have a beautiful
Speaker 1: life or area Holding u
