The open meadow is where we can pause and breathe.

Here Eddie Elephant helps us feel calm and steady again.

The grass moves gently in the breeze, reminding us to slow down and take a breath.

 

 

🐘 Let's become Eddie Elephant 

Let’s sit or stand comfortably…

Take a slow, gentle breath in…

And a long breath out…

Eddie reminds us…

we can slow things down…

and remember what helps us feel calm 

 

 

 

👉 Eddie helps us remember what helps

Let’s watch together...

And imagine we are standing in the soft grass with Eddie...

As we discover some calm tools we can use...

 

 

🐘 When Marcus pops up, his most important job is to help keep us safe.

When this happens, our body can feel busy, fast or overwhelmed.

It can be much harder to remember our calm tools in that moment.

That's why we practise them before we need them.

Every time we practise when we are feeling calm...

🐘 Eddie remembers

Then, when Marcus pops up, Eddie can gently remind us:
"I know something that might help."

Let’s take a gentle moment together…
here in the Meadow …
to check in with Eddie Elephant and our bodies.

…you can close your eyes if you’d like…
and gently listen…
as we breathe together…

 

…and when you’re ready…

we can remind ourselves…

💛 You are safe.

💛 You are loved.

💛 And all your feelings are welcome here.
