Tapestry of Faith: World of Wonder: A Program on the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism for Grades K-1

Spiritual Preparation

Part of World of Wonder

Find a place where you can be quiet with your thoughts. Close your eyes and breathe deeply for several minutes, perhaps repeating a word or phrase to separate yourself from the activities of the day. Read Alternate Activity 2, Laughter Yoga. Sit comfortably and pay attention to your body and your spirit. Are parts of your body tense? How do you feel? Do you feel connected to your spirit? Follow the instructions for Laughter Yoga and laugh as directed. When you are finished, take a moment to pay attention to your body and your spirit again. What has changed? How are you feeling physically? How do you feel spiritually?

Bring a spirit of joy and playfulness to this session, and allow your own sense of reverence, wonder, and awe to be present as you lead this session.
