Children's book by two award-winning authors and psychologists on the mindfulness practice of a body scan
This is a fun, colourful and melodic introduction to the mindful practice of body scanning written for children. The gentle rhyming text helps children become aware of their bodily sensations and helps them understand how their Zensations might be linked to their emotions. Perfect for bedtime or nap time routines or even medical environments.
How you feel is very important, and a lot of the time our emotions might not just live inside our heads but in our bodies too!
These are called bodily feelings, or 'Zensations', and you might find them all over your body. Come along with us as we learn how to feel our Zensations from the tips of our toes to the very top of our heads and find out all about the things our bodies are telling us.
Zensations is a wonderful book for children, (and those adults reading), teaching ways to focus on emotions and how they might appear in our lives. With fun and colorful illustrations, it opens up the possibilities for creative conversations that can help support the emotional growth of the next generation -- Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Life
An important book for any age that reminds us that the body is always giving us signals (or sensations) that lead to emotions, that then lead to actions. It's up to us whether those sensations run the show or we do!
