Meditation Is an Open Sky: Mindfulness for Kids Hardcover – Picture Book, March 1, 2015

I buy lots of kids book to share with the kids I teach yoga to. This is the best one I have found yet! I like to share one story at a time at the end of class. The kids love it as much as I do! Get this book. It will spark joy.

I liked this better than the Peaceful Piggy Meditation book we bought first. It provides simple, one-page meditations that offer children a "menu" of options to try out to address different challenges. For example, one to clear your mind, or one to feel safe, or one to address strong feelings. The book more practical and tangible meditations than the Piggy book, making meditation accessible to my 8 year old son, which is what I wanted. He was feeling nighttime fears overcome him, so we turned to the book and he picked a meditation to calm his fears. He felt reassured, and later advertised this book to his classmates, telling him which of the meditations really helped him.

Meditation has been such a useful tool for me in my life, my husband and I wanted to make sure our child learned this skill also. This is a wonderful book to help with that. Our child finds the mediation exercises fun to do, and we see the positive change these exercises has had. We highly recommend this book!

fun exercises that make "meditation" easy!

I just read this book cover to cover, and am quite impressed with the guided meditations and help section in the back. I've been trying to teach my son about mindfulness and help him with guided meditation, and they'be done it all for me, and for all sorts of situations! Yay!

If your child can take the information in this book and apply it to his or her life, it will greatly benefit them.Excellent book for kids!

I bought this as a baby shower for a friend who is a meditation teacher. She loved this book & is excited to read this to her son.

Purchased this for my 10-year-old nephew who is learning how to meditate. He thoroughly enjoys it and I even found it useful!
