Guided Meditation for Children
My second grader has been having trouble sleeping due to her anxiety.
I have been doing guided meditation/relaxation with her at night but this is not my forte and am looking for suggestions, such as trying music or other forms of assistance. How can I help teach my daughter some meditation techniques?

So I went and did some looking around online and was somewhat surprised at how many legitimate links turned up when I Googled "guided meditation, children". Some of it might need to be modified somewhat to work for your situation.
Guided Meditation for Primary Students. This one seems like it's specifically focused on using guided meditation in the classroom, but if some of her anxiety is coming from school, then these might be helpful for her if she starts feeling anxious while she's at school and you're not there.
Relaxation Scripts for Children
And another script CDs and Mp3s are also offered here for kid's meditation and relaxation.
If you do not want to encourage especially long evenings and she's dealing with anxiety, then One with the Universe from ShambalaKids cd or Mp3 is excellent. The audios help kid's with self esteem and stress relief. Kid's meditation and relaxation IS getting more popular and a great way to help our kids relax and sleep well. We use them every night.
Read aloud to her.
Your voice will calm her and take her mind off of her troubles. You will reinforce that it is time for calm and quiet, and the routine will be reassuring.
Look at this site for reading aloud resources, including age-appropriate reading lists and anthologies.
