Does counting sheep work?

It can work!

This sleep exercise focuses the mind, helping you to unwind. Then, as your thoughts begin to slow, you will gradually start to feel yourself in a relaxed state before drifting off into a peaceful night's sleep.

You can have lots of fun with this one! Imagining sheep wearing hats or unusual costumes. Perhaps there are dogs jumping the fence or even raptors?

Join author, Ann Margaret Walsh, as she leads you and your child in guided bedtime meditations designed to spark creativity, foster self-confidence and imbue positive messages of self-worth.

🐙 Meditation 12: Counting Sheep

Bedtime Meditations for Children is available now from Amazon, Waterstones and other booksellers. See link in bio.

Bedtime Meditations for Children turns 1 today!

I hadn't planned to write a meditation book. It was organically created without me even realising it: two collections of bedtime meditation stories that I told my children to help them drift off into a peaceful night’s sleep. The first collection were guided relaxation meditations. The second collection were creative meditations designed to be more child led.

I wanted to have a written record of each meditation for the children to have. After writing every Saturday morning for six months the collections were on paper, and it was only then that I realised it looked like the first draft of a book!

Since it's publication it has been used by local teachers in playschools and primary schools, adults in forest bathing sessions led by a local guide, and wellness coaches as a part of their meditation work with clients.

✨ In July 2023, Bedtime Meditations for Children, was longlisted for the Carousel Aware Prize in Ireland.
​
✍️ I am currently working on the next book in the series and plan to release it in mid-2024.

❤️ Thank you for your support. I appreciate it so much.
