Through irresistible photos and easy-to-follow text, Lisa Desmond clearly explains her copyrighted method of teaching meditation to children 18 months to three years old. Baby Buddhas also highlights the benefits of meditation for parents and children and shows how to incorporate meditation into family life. Part One, "Creating Your Space," explains how to create a simple meditation space in the home or school and explains the importance of sound, posture, and breathing. In Part Two, "Adult Meditations," adults learn three meditations to give them an opportunity to learn and meditate on their own before teaching children. Part Three, "Children's Meditations," includes 10 meditations suitable for children, organized from simplest to most complex. The children's meditations include the "Sunshine Meditation," in which the child learns to breathe in a "sunshine ball of light" full of love. The "Om Meditation" helps children calm themselves and feel love, even when their parents are away. All the children's meditations use repetition and simple words and images that children can easily understand. Parents who have used Lisa's techniques marvel at how their children have become calmer and more focused since they started meditating. With Baby Buddhas parents and educators can give the children in their care a gift that will last a lifetime.

This book also contains wonderful, inspriring, color photos of glowing children getting back to their true selves. my only complaint is that there is a lot of time spent re-hashing meditations that are essentially the same. I would have liked ... Read More Rating: - Excellent/ 5 stars This book is perfect for busy parents trying to introduce their children to energy, meditation and other high level concepts. The author presents information in an easy to follow and read format.I enjoyed that the suggestions were not too out there to actually implement. I am also a fan of the meditation/relaxation CD series "Indigo Dreams". The book and this CD have made it possible for me to introduce these healthy concepts to my children. (Sorry about the one star. I pressed the wrong button ... Read More Rating: - A great resource for any parent! We purchased the book after our daughter learned meditation in Lisa's program. We were truly amazed at the coping and calming techniques she learned as 2 year old. We have used the techniques in the book to help manage and enhance everyday life as well as for dealing with difficult situations (seperation, death, etc...). Lisa has made the process amazingly simple. It is an incredible tool for helping to connect with your child while providing them with some important skills.
