Help Your Child Discover Peace, Creativity and Confidence.
'Nightlights' offers a unique way for children to discover themselves and their creativity through easy and enjoyable meditation.
Encouraging a child to meditate might at first seem an unlikely proposition - but in fact meditation, if approached in an inventive and appealing manner, brings enormous benefits to children. It can calm their anxieties, build their self-esteem, unlock their imagination, teach them the values of quietness and thoughtfulness, and help them grow as balanced, well-adjusted individuals.
This book, designed for parents to use with any child between the ages of 3 and 7, is a collection of 20 narrative-based meditations. Reading the stories aloud, we draw the child into wonderful adventures which fire their imagination. The meditations are stories aimed at helping children to focus their minds, release their worries, believe in themselves and trust in the world around them. Special affirmations help the parent draw out the story's deeper meaning, for the child's enlightenment.
Each story begins with the child taking the magic lantern down the Enchanted Path . . . and discovering a whole new world of the imagination. By encouraging the child to describe and elaborate upon the illustration in front of them, and then to interact with the story once it is under way, the parent draws the child into the meditation - and helps him or her tap into their boundless creativity.
