Myla Kabat-Zinn

A fully revised and updated second edition, including new research and skills in the areas of trauma and compassionDisruptive behavior in the classroom, poor academic performance, and out-of-control emotions: if you work with adolescents, you are well-aware of the challenges this age group presents, as well as how much time can be lost on your lessons while dealing with this behavior. What if there was a way to calm these students down and arm them with the mindfulness skills needed to really excel in school and life?Written by mindfulness expert and licensed clinical psychologist Patricia C. Broderick, Learning to Breathe is a secular program that tailors the teaching of mindfulness to the developmental needs of adolescents to help them understand their thoughts and feelings and manage distressing emotions. Students will be empowered by learning important mindfulness meditation skills that help them improve emotion regulation, reduce stress, improve overall performance, and, perhaps most importantly, develop their attention. Since its publication nearly a decade ago, the L2B program has transformed classrooms across the US, and has received praise from educators, parents, and mental health professionals alike. This fully revised and updated second edition offers the same powerful mindfulness interventions, and includes compelling new research and skills in the areas of trauma and compassion.The book integrates certain themes of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, into a program that is shorter, more accessible to students, and compatible with school curricula. This easy-to-use manual is designed to be used by teachers, but can also be used by any mental health provider teaching adolescents emotion regulation, stress reduction and mindfulness skills. The book is structured around six themes built upon the acronym BREATHE, and each theme has a core message: Body, Reflection, Emotions, Attention, Tenderness, and Healthy Mind Habits, and Empowerment.Learning to Breathe is the perfect tool for empowering students as they grapple with the psychological tasks of adolescence.

Skab nærvær og kontakt med dine børn i hverdagen.Alle vil gerne give deres børn det bedste i livet. Både her og nu og i fremtiden. Men i hverdagen kan det være svært at nå hinanden, være nærværende og have en god kontakt. Ikke mindst i en verden fuld af ydre krav, præstationer, materielle værdier og ny teknologi, der hele tiden æder sig ind på vores opmærksomhed og tilstedeværelse. Mindfulness kan hjælpe os som forældre til at opbygge en sund, nærværende og holdbar relation til vores børn, som er båret af kærlighed, nærhed og lydhørhed.HVERDAGENS SMÅ MIRAKLER er en introduktion til, hvordan man kan bruge mindfulness i livet som forældre, skrevet af grundlæggeren af mindfulness Jon Kabat-Zinn og hans kone Myla, der sammen har fire børn. I bogen beskriver forfatterne i en nærværende og personlig stil med masser af eksempler fra deres eget liv, hvordan man kan integrere mindfulness i familielivet, der bygger på selvbestemmelse, empati og accept. De viser, hvordan man kan bruge mindfulness som en måde at se sig selv og sine børn og forholde sig på, og en vej til at kortlægge og leve efter sine egne værdier. Bogen henvender sig til mennesker, der går op i at have et godt familieliv og gerne vil skabe de bedste forudsætninger for deres børns trivsel og velbefindende, uanset om de små, store eller unge voksne. Vejen er at være ægte og oprigtige i sit eget liv og være i kontakt med hele den række af følelser, man selv oplever – vi er med andre ord nødt til at være vågne.”Det at være forældre er et spejl, og i dette spejl ser vi både det bedste og det værste ved os selv, de mest vidunderlige øjeblikke i livet og de mest skræmmende.”- fra bogen
