Sensational Meditation for Children Child-Friendly Meditation Techniques based on The Five Senses (Second edition now available) - Softcover

Sarah Wood Vallely has been teaching meditation techniques to children since 1999, helping young people not only to cope in todays world but to thrive in it. Contrary to what one might think, kids love to meditate. Vallelys students tell her: That was better than my video game!-- When can we come back to meditate?-- And-- I didn t know meditation was so easy!-- Sarah is a parent-to-parent educator. She began working with children when she was ten years old in a classroom she set up in her home. Using a chalk board her father installed, she taught the neighborhood children everything from math to vocabulary. Sarah began working professionally with children in 1991. A former art teacher, Sarah now teaches meditation to children, helping children cope with depression, anxiety, stress and symptoms associated with ADHD. When Sarah began teaching meditation for children in Los Angeles, her classes became a phenomenon. People without children came to see how someone could possibly persuade and inspire children to meditate. To help others learn what she does so effectively, Sarah also trains adults how to teach meditation to children in classrooms, at home, and in therapeutic settings. Sarahs program attracts students from across the US, Canada, Australia and Europe. Sarah is the Author of Sensational Meditation for Children - Child-friendly meditation techniques based on the five senses. She also writes articles on meditation for children and conscious parenting and makes public speaking appearances. Sarah has a bachelors in Fine Art and her cross cultural meditation training includes American Board of Hypnotherapy Certification, Vipassana (Buddhist), a four-year internship with regression therapy master (Western Shamanism), Huna practitioner training (Hawaiian), Reiki, Level II (Japanese) and ongoing Yoga instruction (Hindu).
