Guided Meditations and Relaxations for Ages 9-14
Shakta Khalsa and Checka Antifonario
 
Checka and Shakta collaborated on this project with the intention that this audio album would be a lovely balance between communicating in a way that honors children’s depth and wisdom—and giving them tools that are fun and totally relevant to their lives and interests.  We think we did it!
 
A sampling of themes:
You are Made of Energy takes listeners on a fun and though-provoking journey to the Universe within themselves, using inner awareness to explore their own unique energy.
 
Be Your Own Best Friend gives children and adolescents tools to feel what it feels like to love and nurture themselves as much as they do others.
 
These are two of eight engaging tracks that children are sure to request before bed, in the morning, during the school day, in yoga, and as a relaxation. We highly recommend these guided practices for adults as well—to enjoy alongside our children or students, or even during a few quiet moments just for you.
 
Review:
“Shakta and Checka offer children and adolescents tools for awareness and meditation through guided relaxations.  These wonderful tracks would be ideal for parents and teachers to do with children; the concepts are universal and clear.  Both kids and adults can get something from the guided imagery—and I daresay, some adults could use a refresher in how to be their own best friend, which is one of the guided practices included in the albums!”
