The Breathing Book

Description

There's something we do all day long-even right now-and most times we don't even notice. Can you guess what it is? It's breathing! With The Breathing Book, you'll discover the power of mindful awareness through a series of breathing practices and engaging activities designed to calm the mind and body, set positive intentions, and spark creativity and imagination. This interactive book from Drs. Christopher Willard and Olivia Weisser fully engages your senses of sight, sound, and touch with creative illustrations and exercises. You'll use breath to turn the pages . . . balance the book on your head, hands, or belly . . . trace shapes and labyrinths . . . "reframe" troubling thoughts and feelings . . . send good wishes to people and our planet . . . and enjoy many more activities that can be practiced again and again.

Christopher is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and is considered a leading voice on youth mental health.
