Last night as the kids and I got settled for our evening meditation I was excited because it was one that included a guided full body relaxation. I also meditate in the morning and had done this one earlier. I had found myself really relaxed and in good spirits to move on and continue with the day so I was looking forward to passing along some of the relaxation bliss to the kids.

We were all lying down in our spots (me lying on the bed, Jacob on the floor beside me and Jenna lying at the foot of the bed) as Deepak began guiding us through our body and helping us relax. He’s got such a soothing voice it was easy to feel my body softening. He started at the toes and had us relax our feet, our lower legs, our upper legs our buttocks…. all of a sudden I hear hysterical giggling from Jacob beside me and he whispers “he said buttocks” and more giggling. Then suddenly, what can only be described as a monstrous gaseous explosion erupted from the end of the bed. Followed by Jenna’s saying “What? He said to relax my buttocks. I can’t help it.”

We were giggling so much through the rest of the meditation I’m not sure how much “meditation” we achieved per se, but I can guarantee it was an exercise that was good for the soul. So much giggling.

Namaste.
