Mindfulness Story Pillow - Cloud

This soft and cozy plush toy pillow does more than provide physical comfort, cuddly companionship and playtime fun, though it does those things quite well. Nestled inside the pillow is an internal audio speaker that, when activated by a hug, plays a nurturing, story-like mindfulness meditation tailored to a child's needs. Told from the perspective of the cloud, the focus of this 2-minute mindfulness meditation story is the ever-changing nature of feelings and the acceptance of one's present emotional state at any given time, be it happy, sad, calm, angry, the entire gamut. Spoken in a supportive, soothing female voice and accompanied by nature sounds and deeply relaxing music from composer Erik Satie, the emotionally wise words land gently but with real impact. Dramatic, cloud-themed metaphors contribute to the engaging story's efficacy in awakening in youngsters the awareness and ability to acknowledge and accept their (and others') emotions without being swept away by the ever-changing winds.
