Monthly Meditations with Be Happy – April 2025: April Showers Meditation

A calming, imaginative meditation to help children and teens let go of unhelpful thoughts and find space to grow

Introducing Monthly Meditations with Be Happy, a series of short yet powerful meditations designed to help children and teens find calm and focus throughout the year. Each month, we’ll bring you a fun, themed meditation paired with a simple, engaging follow-up activity—making mindfulness accessible, creative, and meaningful for young minds.

About This Month’s Meditation – April Showers

Our April Showers Meditation invites children and teens to explore their thoughts and feelings through the gentle rhythm of rain. Using the metaphor of a rainstorm, this calming script helps young people visualise their thoughts, both heavy and light, as raindrops that fall, pass, and make way for growth.

Set beneath the safety of a strong tree, this meditation guides listeners to observe their thoughts without judgement, and imagine those thoughts being gently washed away. It’s a mindful, nature-inspired moment of emotional release and self-reflection.

Features

• A 5–7 minute guided meditation script suitable for children and teens

• A soothing, imaginative metaphor: thoughts as raindrops

• Encourages emotional awareness and thought observation

• Written in a calm, gentle tone to support regulation and relaxation

• Accompanied by a creative follow-up activity: Thought Drops

Suggested Follow-Up Activity – Thought Drops

To extend the meditation, children and teens are invited to create their own rainy sky on paper, filling raindrops with the thoughts they wish to release. This creative reflection helps make the meditation tangible and supports emotional expression through drawing and writing.
