Your Guiding Star: Mindfulness Practices for Every Day

This book is a journey to mindfulness that encourages you to get to know yourself better, to control your mind and emotions, and to live a full life in the present, not letting negative thoughts or anxiety take over. Here are six sections of special exercises — simple techniques, new habits, creative writing exercises that will help you cope with the challenges of growing up, express yourself, and find your place in the world, in symbiosis with other people and nature.

WHY READ THIS BOOK WITH CHILDREN
You will be able to master together with your children the principles that will help them cope better with the difficulties of life, especially now when children have become more fragile, prone to anxiety and stress. They often find it difficult to manage anger and other emotions. This book provides simple instructions suitable for everyone, with techniques that the author has tested on herself and successfully uses.

The book has six chapters plus an introduction ("A Glass of Water"). Each chapter contains six simple, understandable exercises for everyday life, as well as a section called "Bookmarks" - it explains how to practice mindfulness in situations that children may face (for example, anxiety before an exam). There is also a section called "Your Journal" - writing exercises. The journey begins with self-discovery and ends with openness to others and the world (society, nature: we are a part of everything). As an appendix - a small section about yoga, four asanas that children can easily master.
