- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really great activities for teens. I'm using this with a small group of creative problem solvers that need to learn to manage their time, emotions, words, etc. for a competitive team environment. We often every practice with an activity from this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this book! I am very much into meditation ?♀️, focus, balance. My kids always make fun of me for it. With homeschooling now the norm with this quarantine, I decided to teach my kids more than just the basics of Math, English and History. More the things we really need and use in life
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5just got this so my daughter and I are only through the first breathing exercise but that has already helped her so tremendously that I'm already giving it five stars. Even if this one breathing exercise is all that my 12 year old anxiety ridden bad attitude can't calm down daughter gets out of this book it was so worth every penny. looking forward to reading the entire thing with her!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this book! I would say it’s not just for teens, in fact, I think people of all ages can benefit from it! As a college student, it helps me not let the busyness of life take control. I also work with children ages 6-12 and they love it when we choose a mindfulness exercise from this book to do in class. Highly recommend, wish I could give this book 10 stars

INTRODUCTION
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention without judgment. Meditation activities in mind apply to the intentional actions of controlling focus by monitoring feelings, emotions, and the state of the body.
Typical practices for mindfulness include
careful unjudgmental awareness (in sitting meditation or throughout the day) of the breath, body, feelings, emotions, and thoughts
mindful walking meditation
Careful eating
Thorough body checks while sitting and sitting
Improved focus and focus in school reduced stress
Improved stress management capacity
Increased focus: improved ability to focus and focus on Improved emotion Regulation
reduced impulsiveness, better children's behavior (crowdedness, suspensions, deportations)
Increased emotional intelligence.
It is much easier for students to focus on and participate actively in the classroom. The whole class will enjoy a collective calm. Such skills can also be used to handle challenging peer or family situations maturely. Students are less likely to threaten others, and those who are abused will be more resilient. Students are also less vulnerable to high-risk activities because they are calmer and less reactive. Some immediate advantages we expect to see are:
Easier to handle classrooms
improved learning environments
Improved tuition ties between teachers and students
Teachers will be able to spend more time teaching and less time managing a class and will also be better equipped to cope with the stress of work.
Teachers who teach mindfulness to students will also find students better equipped to understand.
What is mindfulness?
Should you clear your mind or concentrate on one thing? Here is the attentive definition of mindfulness.
Mindfulness is a pretty simple word. They suggest that the mind takes care of what is going on, what you are doing, space through which you are moving. That might seem trivial, except for the annoying fact that we so often turn away from the subject. Our mind flies, we lose touch with our body, and soon we're overwhelmed with obsessive thoughts about something just going on or worrying about the future. And that's anxious for us.
Mindfulness is the fundamental ability of the human person to be fully aware of where we are and what we are doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what is happening around us.
Yet, no matter how far we go, there's awareness right there to snap us back to where we are and what we feel. It is best to try it for a while if you want to know what awareness is. Since it is difficult to write in English, the nature of books, blogs, audio, and video are slightly different.
When I think of the word mindfulness,
I remember sitting under a big maple tree wrapped in a warm, wooly jumper. It's a sunny day, but there's cold air. The old tree leaves start to change color and create a tapestry of burnt orange and brown over the underlying grass. A semi-circular mountain range is high around me, and I sit at her feet inside the green basin. I hold a hot black tea mug and can feel its warmth flowing into my hands in the small muscles.
Mindfulness means maintaining an understanding of our emotions, feelings, physical sensations, and the surrounding environment moment by moment through a gentle, nourishing lens.
Mindfulness meditation allows us to suspend judgment and to unleash our natural curiosity about the functioning of the mind, treating us and others with comfort and kindness.
Ways of practicing mindfulness and meditation
Mindfulness is always available, whether by meditations and body scans or diligent activities such as taking time to rest and to breathe when the phone sounds instead of rushing to answer it.
Mindfulness is consciousness that emerges by reflecting consciously, at the moment, without judgment. The essence of mindfulness practice allows us to learn about our responses and split our programmed reactions. This is how to be alert throughout the day:
1. Set aside for a while. You don't need a meditation circle or special equipment to access your awareness-raising skills–but you have to put some time and space away.
2. Observe as it is the present moment. The purpose of consciousness is not to calm the mind or try to achieve a permanent state of calm. The goal is simple: we want to pay attention, without judgment, to the present moment.
3. Let your opinions rollover. If, during our work, we make judgments, we should take a mental note of them and let them go.
4. Return to present moment perception as it is. Sometimes our minds get carried away in thought. That is why consciousness is the process of returning to the present moment, again and again.
5. Be kind to the wandering mind of yourself. Don't blame yourself for anything you do, know when your mind wanders away and bring it gently back.
The definition of mindfulness is the essential human ability to be fully present, conscious of where we live and what we do, and not overwhelmed by or overreactive.
Paying attention is a quality already possessed by every human being, not something you have to conjure up, learn how to access it.
While mindfulness is innate, it can be cultivated through proven techniques, mainly seated, walking, standing, and moving meditation (it's also possible lying down but often leads to sleep); short pauses we insert into everyday life; and merging meditation practice with other activities, such as yoga or sports.
As we meditate, it doesn't help to focus on the benefits but only to practice, and yet there are advantages or nobody would. When we are aware of things, we reduce stress, improve performance, gain insight and sensitivity, and increase attention to the well-being of others.
MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION
Mindfulness meditation brings us a time in life when we can suspend decisions and unleash our natural curiosity about the workings of the mind, bringing ourselves and others into contact with comfort and kindness.
Mindfulness is not dark or foreign. We know it because it's what we do, how we are now. It has many forms and various names.
Attention is not a unique addition to what we
