The following meditation has been kid-tested on my own three children ages and is suitable for all ages including adults who want to feel like a kid Children love learning about and working with the chakras, because the chakras are body-based and are each associated with colors, nature elements, sounds, and visualizations.

Kundalini exercises designed to urge energy up through the chakras are not appropriate, as they evolved as part of spiritual practices for adults, whose physical and subtle bodies are fully developed. In addition, many children find chakra breathing exercises pranayama too restrictive or over-stimulating. The three lower chakras are done standing, and incorporate some movement, while from the heart up are done sitting down.

How to support a child’s chakra system
Kids, just like adults, need time everyday to connect into their power and access the spiritual energies that are available to them. Adults, or children with experience, have the ability to sit still in meditation to rejuvenate themselves. Kids, however, tend to not have the patience for sitting still, especially after a long day at school being told to do exactly that! At the end, they feel safe, protected, and balanced. Their natural sweetness rises to the surface and they are more themselves, their true selves, the magnificent beings they really are. This is wonderful to do before and after school or before bedtime. Sensitive, spiritual kids really love it and will even teach you a thing or too about healing with energy!
