Each element has a story and its own guide, such as a gnome or mermaid, which introduces the child to their world through detailed visualization techniques. Then, after each journey, die CD has three or four minutes of instrumentation that allow the listener to imagine and create their own images and journeys in their mind. Each story ends with a message, delivered by Mario Van Peebles, Sukhu's love interest, about taking care of the world. “Children will be our future

leaders and I feel that this is the place to start," Sukhu says. “I think if children can learn meditation at a young age they can create the most amazing world. I think everything starts with a thought. Ifthey're able to imagine what they want their world to be like or what they'd like to be when they grow up, they can accomplish anything. So, meditation is such an important tool in creating their world.” "Guidtd Meditation For Children: Journey Into the Elements " is amilahle in specialty stores and online at http. /M ww. yogihari. com/ specials.html
