WHAT IS HAPPY SPOTS?
Happy Spots meditation kits teach a fun mindfulness practice for kids that incorporates meditation and visualization techniques proven to decrease stress and anxiety while strengthening neural pathways in the brain associated with positive emotions and executive function.
How Does It Work?
Happy Spots meditation kit includes everything you need to help your child find inner peace.
Inside you’ll find specialized programming and exercises designed to master focus, self-control, and reduce negative emotions. The kit includes our five Spots, a set of visualization chips, visualization cards, and a full color manual with step-by-step instructions on how to implement the Happy Spots program in your home, school, or office.
How Is Happy Spots Different?
Most mindfulness and meditation resources for kids offer foundational teaching but lack the real-life application that resonates with a young audience.
Happy Spots meditation kits empower kids of all ages with the tools and training to re-wire their brain for positivity, prosperity, and happiness. Our program puts the individual in the driver’s seat of their well-being, and begins to reveal the true potential of the mind.

AT THERAPY
Our program combines the power of mindfulness, visualization, and affirmation to help guide kids toward better emotional regulation. While this program is particularly helpful for anxiety, anger management, and depression, the habits developed are a great tool to pre-emptively help all children face any of life's challenges that arise.

Love it already!
We officially did our first Happy Spots session. He did amazing and it 100% worked to get him out of his “mad emotion” he was feeling. Love it already!

It helped me too!
Not only did it help my kids calm down or just shift their mood, but it helped me too. I was also able to hear about some of their happiest moments and get creative with the chip ideas.

It has given her a sense of control.
“My 10y.o. daughter requests to do Happy Spots when she is feeling anxious/emotional, particularly at the end of the day. She is often on the verge of tears when we begin and by the end she is calm and feels more at peace. It has given her a sense of control by giving her a space to communicate any feelings she is struggling with and then showing her how to find her way to a different mindset.

Feeling much more calm.
My son has been having a grumpy day and was complaining about everything he was being asked to do. I knew that dinner time was coming and was anticipating another battle. I set the spots out and asked him to play this game with me. My demonstrating it for him helped me rest after a frustrating day, and it was awesome to see him calm down, describe his feelings and how he wanted to feel, and then visualize a small moment that I had forgotten about as one of the things that made him feel so happy. It totally helped him out of his funk, and we both walked away feeling much more calm and also like we understood each other a little better.
-Sarah P. (Parent)
A great activity!
This is a great activity for the whole family and can be applied anytime anyone is feeling like they need to reset.
