The Listening Game Cosmic Kids Zen Den - Mindfulness for kids Another Zen Den mindfulness video! Jaime introduces a fun game - about listening. How well can you listen to the sounds of the bells? If you listen really hard, it's amazing how long they go on for. In this episode of Cosmic Kids Zen Den I explain in a kid-friendly way that we are separate from our feelings. Feelings come and go - and we can observe them - without getting swept up by them. There's a really clever way of remembering this: our mind is like a pond full of fish. The fish are our feelings.

Designed to help kids aged 5+ start to understand mindfulness.
