“Having dealt with high anxiety for much of my life, I have been overjoyed to find that meditation helps me to feel safe and calm, and to think clearly to distinguish between imagined threats and real threats. It has allowed me to open myself up to new experiences and to let go of the idea that if I can’t be perfect, I shouldn’t bother to try. My oldest son has demonstrated similar qualities since he was a toddler – he has been more than a little hesitant to try new things and slow to make friends. Like any good mom, I turned to the internet for help I was lucky to find Lorraine’s first book, Calm Kids. I loved the book so much that I decided to sign up for her course to teach meditation to children. Calm Kids is a great resource.”

Connected Kids – Help kids shine through mindful activites

Guidebooks to Teach Meditation – Autism/ADHD/SEN

This is our follow up to Calm Kids in our series of guidebooks to teach meditation.

easy-to-follow guide incorporating an intuitive and mindful energy approach
skills to lead calming relaxation sessions with children and teens with autism, ADHD or SEN
matching mindful activities to symptoms/behaviours of Autism
suitable for the busy home/classroom.

“This book truly is wonderful for the general population, but Lorraine’s detailed work on challenges that people with autism face and several specific balancing mindful activities make this the best book that I have seen for helping kids feel their best. For example, if a child cannot tolerate the food on his plate, she suggests practicing a gratitude meditation before eating where the caregiver and child explore the journey of the food to the plate (imagine the food growing as a plant and thanking sun, soil, water, as well as the farmer who cared for it, etc.) Kids become less afraid of unfamiliar foods and textures as they think about the effort involved in getting the food from a seed in the ground all the way to their plates – I’ve seen this work in my own home!”

This guidebook to teach meditation offers you a comprehensive meditation ‘toolkit’ of ideas that we successfully use with all young people but especially SEN – including autism and ADHD. This is the textbook for our professional meditation teacher training course.
