Everyday Mindfulness

If mindfulness is now being prescribed by GPs for depression, why are we not teaching it in schools? Do watch this amazing TED talk by Richard Burnett - he has a wonderful way of talking about it.

Some good books to check out
Planting Seeds: Practicing Mindfulness with Children - by Thich Nhat Hanh
Peaceful Piggy Meditation - by Kerry Lee MacLean

Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to move this to the 'mindful living section'.

I'm definitely going to check out the book by Thich Nhat Hahn. I have two very small boys, and I would be failing as a parent if I didn't try to nurture mindfulness in my children - that's how I see it anyway.

Sorry, I didn't realise about the Mindful Living section. I now see plenty of previous posts about mindfulness for kids - should've just posted a reply!
