Sunshine smile guided meditation:

Getting more still- Listen to chime until you can’t hear it anymore…. Begin to notice your breathing- feeling your body moving gently as you breathe in and out- connecting the breath once again to the space around your heart. Begin to relax your toes…... feet…... legs….. belly….. your chest…... your whole back……..softening your shoulders…….. down your arms……..all your fingers…. Now relax your face and let the back of your head feel heavy. Your whole body feels heavy & relaxed……..

Picture in your mind a favorite person…... Notice how you feel in your body and in your heart when you think of this person…. Begin to sense or see this feeling in your heart as a golden light -like sunlight……. Begin to send this feeling, this happy light, to that person. Maybe it feels like a smile or a hug that you are sending……. As you breathe in and out imagine sending this sunlight smile from your heart to this person…... Now let this feeling, this “sunlight smile” spread out from your heart out to yourself- to your whole body -from your heart out towards your fingers, down to your toes and up to the top of your head…... Filling your whole body…. sending yourself this feeling of sunny happiness, calmness and peace….. Resting here quiet and still until you hear the chime -by Liz Abendroth, MEd,RYT

Cost is typically per troop (not per scout) to keep it affordable - for example $30 for 30 minutes, $45 for 45 minutes total cost. Currently delivered via Zoom or outdoors. Contact to schedule: or find me listed
