Mindful Meditation Day
Jodie Webber
Wednesday, 14 April 2021
Hello children, My name is Jodie and I am a children’s author. Today I am joined by my daughter, Bobbie and Mystic Bunny Boy. We would like to welcome you to 'Mindful Meditation Day'. Mindfulness and Mediation are two different ways you can use your brain to help you feel happier, think better and sleep peacefully – how amazing is that? Meditating is when you use your mind to take you somewhere else, and think happy things. Mindfulness is when you concentrate on where you are and what you are doing, to make your mind feel calm and happy! We’ve got some fun activities to learn all about this today, including colouring, an outdoor activity and singing! Plus, at the end of the day we’ll be reading to you our special bedtime book called ‘Mystic Bunny Boy Walks The Rainbow’
We hope you enjoy today as much as we will!
