A Kindness Meditation for Children | Sending Ripples of Love to the World

Bobbie Challenger

July 4 2025 • Duration: 13 Minutes

This gentle, child-friendly loving kindness meditation is a beautiful introduction to Metta Bhavana - the practice of sending goodwill, compassion, and kindness to ourselves and others.

Metta Bhavana can help children develop empathy, patience, and emotional strength. It teaches them to offer kindness not just to those they love, but to everyone - even to people they find challenging. In a world where kindness is needed more than ever, this simple practice can help children (and their grown-ups) spread ripples of love and peace into their homes, schools, and communities.

In this meditation, we start by sending kindness to ourselves, then to someone we love, then to others, and finally, out to the whole world. Together, we can make a difference - one small ripple at a time.

Perfect for quiet moments at home, for classrooms, or for family mindfulness time 💛🌍
