mindfulness

Humans have long used slow breathing to regulate their emotions, and practices like yoga and mindfulness have even popularized formal techniques like box breathing.

These strategies include cool-off activities like drawing, counting to ten or deep breathing, thinking about something happy to keep calm, meditation or mindfulness or moving away from other people.

I spent a few years trying all sorts of things like mindfulness work, meditation, reading Zen Buddhism stuff, did some yoga, listening to tapes or things like that.

The students take turns describing the mindfulness activities they’ve used with children in the past — smelling flowers, morning yoga sessions for tots.

Consider this book an “existential tool kit” that combines insights from psychology, sociology, mindfulness and years of deep listening with the climate generation.
