Abstract

A l'école ou à la maison, les parents et les professeurs demandent tous les jours aux enfants d'être attentifs et sages. Mais il ne leur expliquent pas comment y parvenir. Et si la solution était une technique inventée il y a 2400 ans? La méditation est un apprentissage extraordinaire pour acquérir plus de calme, de concentration, mais aussi pour développer la curiosité, la confiance en soi et l'ouverture aux autres. Dans un monde où jeux vidéos, cellulaires et ordinateurs entraînent agitation et troubles du sommeil, le pouvoir de quelques exercices tout simple est spectaculaire. Depuis plus de quatorze ans, Susan Kaiser Greenland a mis au point une méthode spécialement adaptée aux enfants. Inventif et ludique, cet ouvrage livre le fruit de son travail, validé par l'université de Californie.

Abstract

We know that practicing mindfulness in everyday life can help us reduce stress and cultivate deep, embodied well-being, but what about its effects on physical and emotional pain, especially when it seems overwhelming or unrelenting? Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief is a soothing program with guided meditations and teachings. It opens with an overview of seven fundamental attitudes we can develop to cultivate mindfulness in relationship to chronic pain and its incessant challenges, and follows with concepts and practices including: mindful breathing, working with intense sensations, befriending thoughts and emotions, finding refuge in awareness, and bringing mindfulness into every life.

Abstract

To Kabat-Zinn,, the author, meditation is important because it brings about a state of "mindfulness," a condition of "being" rather than "doing" during which you pay attention to the moment rather than the past, the future, or the multitudinous distractions of modern life. This book presents basic meditation techniques and different meditative practices, as ways of reducing stress and healing from illness.

Abstract

Perhaps no other person has done more to bring mindfulness meditation into the contemporary landscape of America than Jon Kabat-Zinn. Through a number of research studies, and through Kabat-Zinn's pioneering work at the University of Massachusetts Medical School where he is founder of its world-renowned Stress Reduction Clinic, mindfulness is finally being recognized as a highly effective tool for dealing with stress, chronic pain, and other illnesses.

Now with this four-part home training course, Jon Kabat-Zinn offers listeners the definitive mindfulness meditation practice on CD. We are not trying to actively achieve a state of deep relaxation―or any other state for that matter―while practicing mindfulness, he teaches. But interestingly, by opening to an awareness of how things actually are in the present moment, we often taste very deep states of relaxation and well-being of both body and mind.

Course objectives:

- Utilize body and mind meditations in daily practice

- Practice mindful yoga with clear, safe and simple instructions

- Describe the basic state of being which is present awareness

- Compare the results of unmoving, sitting meditation to a movement meditation such as mindful yoga

Abstract

Kids experience anxiety and can feel overwhelmed just like adults do, and this picture book serves as both a story and a step-by-step guide to help calm kids down. Ollie is the puppy living inside of our narrator's head, and when Ollie panics or is too energetic, the narrator feels that way, too! But she learns to handle the situation with her breath and her mindfulness, and by talking it out with an adult.

In plain language and with a rare sense of understanding and compassion, Elise Gravel tackles anxiety in children head-on with bold colors and whimsical illustrations. This picture book also features a note from a pediatrician on the importance of mental health.

Perfect for bedtime or the classroom, readers will walk away a little more well-equipped to handle the puppies in their own heads.

Recommended for children ages 4 - 8 years.
