Inner Realms Kids Program

Each lesson has a meditation (from 12-30 minutes) to have the children listen to. Once the meditation is completed, we have a wide selection of activities you can have the children complete, each inspired by their experiences and creations within the meditation. For example, after listening to the “Unlock Your Avatar” journey, we offer art, writing, research, theater, and many other projects related to what was created during that audio journey. The depth of the curriculum is highly customizable to your setting and can be used as little as an hour a week, or be used extensively as a foundation for schooling. Our extensive collection of activities empowers kids and brings a new level of excitement and engagement to education. 

Many think of meditation as an activity for adults. However, it can also provide major benefits for children as well. Studies have shown that meditation effectively enhances adolescents’ emotional regulation and well-being (Advances in School Mental Health Journal), helps students perform better academically (International Journal of Social Science and Economic Research), and has been linked to emotional intelligence in teenagers (Frontiers in Psychology). Meditation has also been attributed to enhancing athletic performance (many pro athletes include meditation in their fitness regimen), strengthening immune systems (Perspectives on Psychological Science), and helping people cope with pain (Fadel Zeidan, PhD – lead author of study). Meditation benefits us in all facets of our lives, from our emotional to our physical well-being.          

Inner Realms Journey takes meditation to a new level by implementing a broad spectrum of meditation techniques repackaged into a fun, exciting, and engaging experience that’s easy for anyone to use. Inner Realms Journey provides an invaluable tool for children (and adults!), assisting them academically, creatively, emotionally, and physically. Our integrated and multidisciplinary curriculum allows the benefits of these meditations to have an even further reaching effect in academics and creative arts.

• We continue to work on making our curriculum adaptable to as many different learning environments as possible. If you have any special needs, please reach out to us.
• Educators can play the children audio-guided meditations from the website (through speakers or headphones) without the need for the children to have access to it or use the website themselves.  
• All of the activities in our lesson plan can be done without the use of technology, if preferred. Some projects can utilize technology if desired (such as research, creating writings, or digital design), but numerous options do not.
• Our activities are very flexible, and you can easily implement them into any classroom environment and on any budget.  
• Our activities can be done in a classroom as well as outdoors, depending on your setting.
• While the website has some kid friendly imagery, and we do have some creative imagery for inspiration, we know some schools have different specifications as to what is shown to children. None of the imagery in our website or content is required to make use of the meditation or activities. It is purely optional.

“Students in my classroom have become more empathetic, sharing stories of their journeys and artwork of their adventures. I’ve seen huge boost in imagination, creative expression, project engagement, and self confidence. My students can’t wait to do the next meditation journey. Many parents have also reported that their kids spend more time drawing and writing and less time playing video games.”
– Emma Davis, Teacher

“Inner Realms has brought so much depth and joy to my tutoring sessions. My students love listening and creating their own worlds. I have noticed so much creativity and trust in their intuition as they have moved through the meditations. It brought up so many amazing opportunities to practice defining new vocabulary words as students could compare what they thought they saw when the word was used in the context of the meditation to what the textbook definition of the word was.”

“It’s a brilliant and creative approach that uses grounding techniques, breath work, reframing skills, visualization experiences, and others to present meditation and general self-care in a fun imaginative way.  The applications are endless.  I can really see this being introduced to any age group and it having productive results. “
– Jennifer Keith, LPC (Therapist)

“Inner Realms Journey will guide you in transforming negative thoughts and self-limiting beliefs into positive and empowering cognitions. The guided meditations work to retrain your brain, improving self-awareness, memory, learning, and attention. Research has found that a thickening of the prefrontal cortex—the brain region that is responsible for awareness, focus, and decision-making—occurs when you practice guided meditation. The benefit of Inner Realms Journey is that guided meditation becomes a fun and creative process. “
