protection. This protection is known as "bandhan". Imagine drawing a rainbow with
your right hand from the child's left hip, over the top of his head and down to his
right hip and back again. Back and forth is considered one time. Just as there are
seven colours in the rainbow and seven chakras in the subtle system, you do this
seven times to give your child a full bandhan. You can sing the names of each chakra
if you like: Mooladhara, Swadhistana, Nabhi &Void, Anahat, Vishuddhi, Agnya and
Sahasrara or you can sing a colour of the rainbow for each bandhan: "orange rainbow",
"yellow rainbow", "green rainbow", "red rainbow", "blue rainbow", "white rainbow",
Rhoca RE
"all the rainbows"! (These colours are the actual colours of each chakra).
Now you are ready to start meditating. Rlease ask your child to close his eyes for a

Rhoca RE
Balancing the Moon Channel:

Sometimes the channels go up and down, like a seesaw. You know the Moon Channel is a
little down when you feel a bit of a warm breeze on your left hand. To help steady
the Moon Channel you can put your left hand on our lap and your right hand on the
ground and meditate like that for a few minutes.
Balancing the Sun Channel:

If you feel a little bit of a warm breeze on your right hand that means the Sun
Channel is a bit down. To steady the Sun Channel meditate for a little while with
your right hand on your lap and your left hand up and towards the air behind you. The
air will pull all the not nice things out of your Sun Channel.
Balancing the Lotus Channel:

If you feel both hands are a little bit warm, then you can put both hands on the
ground when you meditate. Mother Earth will help you by sucking out all the yucky
things from your Lotus Channel.
Songs
Open up your hands and feel the cool.
Open up your hands and feel the cool vibrations.
Open up your hands and feel the love.
Our Mother's love is there for all of us.
Open up your hands and feel the cool.
Open up your hands and feel the cool vibrations.
Open up your hands and feel the love.

To finish ask your child to put his left hand on the top of his head keeping some
