Small Souls is an easy to use book of meditations and affirmations for anyone wishing to develop a sense of spirit in their child.

Visualisation and relaxation are used to encourage children to focus on positive thoughts and healing. Their imagination is stimulated by using subjects they can easily relate to.

By developing self-esteem and moral values, children are equipped to confront everyday issues, even illness and emotional crisis and for busy parents, reading one of the meditations from Small Souls is shorter than a bedtime story, and probably more effective.

These meditations are a simple and useful way to create a bonding experience with the child as they address every-day issues and parents can choose what is appropriate for their child.

" A collection of wonderful meditations with insight into alleviating anxiety and fears. The power of words and relaxing travels take you to a quiet place of understanding within."
- Gayle Edwards (mother)"

As a Behaviour Support Teacher, we often incorporate calming strategies and visualisation within our work. Roxanne’s meditations are perfect!"
– Kelly O’Grady (B.Ed., M.Ed.)

Roxanne Paynter was born and raised in Tasmania Australia and, in her late twenties, she gave birth to her first child. Not knowing from one day to the next if he would survive, she watched her son spend the first few months of his life in intensive care.

During this time, she had the opportunity to discover how difficult it is with a sick child, of any age. Roxanne knew her son would be a little different, and she thought about how she could make him feel good about himself, as he grew older. She analysed the things that would be most important to teach him and she discovered these things to be love, self-esteem, and a connection to spirit or purpose in life.

She then searched for a tool that would help her pass these things on and found nothing. She realised that meditation was the simplest, most effective way to do this for many reasons. Not only does the child benefit from relaxation, and stimulating their imagination, but also they are empowered to draw on their own abilities. They learn that they are important and that they have purpose.

Currently live in Queensland with her husband and two children, Roxanne continues to write for children, focusing on their sense of spirit and helping them address the issues that confront them.
