You Are Not Your Thoughts
Brian Despard (2009)
This delightful book conveys the essence of mindfulness in joyful images and rhymes; the sweet simplicity on every page will support children (and parents) in bringing the peace of mindfulness into their daily lives - Amy Saltzman, M.D. - creator, Still Quiet Place for Children CD Mindfulness has been proven to reduce stress, enhance physical health, social relations and academic abilities. By learning to experience their thoughts, feelings and sensations without being overwhelmed, they may be less prone to the unhealthy effects of stress. Children have true beginner's mind, but this state of mind fades as they grow. They start life living in the moment then slowly learn that 'doing' is more important than 'being' This book is intended to plant the seed of mindfulness in children. There is no greater gift than the gift of mindfulness. "The beauty of this book is that it conveys the deep message and practice of mindfulness without ever naming it or making it into some big intellectual thing" - Myla and Jon Kabat-Zinn - co-authors, Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting
