Meet Pudge. Pudge likes to go to school, loves to play video games, and run with his friends. Sometimes he just needs a little peace and quiet. There are some days when Pudge feels so stressed that he can't sit still even for a minute. He even has trouble falling asleep at night. What is a dragon to do? Meditate
This textbook is a guide for parents, grandparents, teachers, and older children to help teach younger children (and themselves) an easy way to meditate. In this book, you will find several illustrated easy-to-follow breathing and meditation exercises for the whole family to learn. As a bonus in the back of the book, there are four energy exercises to help kids (and adults) be more focused and balanced, in body, mind, and spirit.
Studies show that mindful and centered children (and adults)
- are less anxious and stressed
- are more centered and focused
- are able to concentrate better in school
- have higher self-esteem and self-love
- sleep better at night
Learning to meditate is a great gift to give our children and the future of the world. The Dalai Lama has said that if every eight-year-old child learned to meditate, world violence would be eliminated in one generation. Learning a more peaceful and loving way to deal with life is a wonderful gift and life lesson for everyone.
