Book Synopsis My Thoughts Are Clouds by : Georgia Heard
Download or read book My Thoughts Are Clouds written by Georgia Heard and published by Roaring Brook Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poetry collection that both illustrates what mindfulness is and encourages young, growing minds to be present, from poet and educator Georgia Heard, with art by Isabel Roxas. Poets have long observed the world in a mindful way. They point out beauty we might have missed, draw our attention to our inner thoughts, and call us to see our society in new ways. But as daily life become more and more chaotic, children grow distracted. According to the CDC, 9.4% of children have ADHD and 7% have anxiety/depression. And these numbers continue to climb. As treatment doctors recommend healthy eating, physical activity, plenty of sleep, and mindfulness techniques. Georgia Heard is a poet and educator—and she has long had her own meditation practice. In My Thoughts Are Clouds, she uses poetry to demonstrate what mindfulness is and gives kids—and their parents and teachers—accessible ways to learn mindfulness tools.
Book Synopsis The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy by : John Brehm
Download or read book The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy written by John Brehm and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 125 poetic companions, from Basho to Billy Collins, Saigyo to Shakespeare. The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy received the Spirituality & Practice Book Award for 50 Best Spiritual Books in 2017 by Spirituality and Practice Website. The poems expertly gathered here offer all that one might hope for in spiritual companionship: wisdom, compassion, peacefulness, good humor, and the ability to both absorb and express the deepest human emotions of grief and joy. The book includes a short essay on “Mindful Reading” and a meditation on sound from editor John Brehm—helping readers approach the poems from an experiential, non-analytical perspective and enter into the mindful reading of poetry as a kind of meditation. The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy offers a wide-ranging collection of 129 ancient and modern poems unlike any other anthology on bookshelves today. It uniquely places Buddhist poets like Han Shan, Tu Fu, Saigyo, Ryokan, Basho, Issa, and others alongside modern Western poets one would not expect to find in such a collection—poets like Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, William Stafford, Denise Levertov, Jack Gilbert, Ellen Bass, Billy Collins, and more. What these poems have in common, no matter whether they are explicitly Buddhist, is that all reflect the essential truths the Buddha articulated 2,500 years ago. The book provides an important poetic complement to the many prose books on mindfulness practice—the poems here both reflect and embody the dharma in ways that can’t be matched by other modes of writing. It’s unique features include an introduction that discusses the themes of impermanence, mindfulness, and joy and explores the relationship between them. Biographical notes place the poets in historical context and offer quotes and anecdotes to help readers learn about the poets’ lives.

Book Synopsis Mindfulness by : Kathryn Carole Ellison
Download or read book Mindfulness written by Kathryn Carole Ellison and published by Lady Bug Books. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kathryn Carole Ellison began writing poetry for her children in the 1970s when they were reaching the "age of reason," and she was leaving an abusive marriage, becoming a single parent, and setting out on her own. She wanted to share "life's lessons" and her "words of wisdom" with them. Poetry was her way to communicate with her pre-teenage children to help them make good decisions in life, without a barrage of words and lectures that would fall on deaf ears. And so, the Advent Poems began. Ellison gave her children one new poem a day during Advent -- the 24 days in December leading up to Christmas. More than 40 years later her grown children still look forward to each Advent Season, and to receiving her poems. In total, Ellison has penned more than 1,000 inspirational and wisdom-filled poems for living a more joy-filled life and overcoming everyday challenges. "Children of the Light" was among the early poems she wrote and it is included in each of the twelve books in this collection. After writing hundreds of poems, it is still one of her favorites. "Light," she explains, represented all that was good and pure and right with the world, and she believed then -- as she does today -- that those elements live in her children... and perhaps in all of us. We need only to dare... and to reach for them. After Ellison's second husband, Bill Ellison, founder of Value Village/Savers Stores, died of Alzheimer's Disease in 2008, she decided it was time to share her poetry with the world. In 2014, at the age of 75, she started a business and began the journey into the world of publishing, and fulfilling her life's purpose. Ellison wants to share the message that it is never too late to pursue one's dreams. She believes the philosophy that "you can be old at 30, or young at 90" -- that it's all up to us. And she believes there's no better time than now to share the poems with the world at large. The present, broken world needs some good old-fashioned lessons in civility, kindness, and common sense.

Book Synopsis Poetry and Mindfulness by : Bryan Walpert
Download or read book Poetry and Mindfulness written by Bryan Walpert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when the Humanities are under threat, this book offers a defense of poetry within the context of growing interest in mindfulness in business, health care, and education. The book argues that the benefits and insights mindfulness provides are also cultivated by the study of poetry. These benefits include a focus on the present, the ability to see through scripts and habits, a rethinking of subjectivity, and the development of ecological or systems thinking. Bryan Walpert employs close readings of traditional and experimental poetry and draws on scientific studies of the effects of mindfulness or reading literature on the brain. It argues the skills that poetry, like mindfulness, cultivates are useful beyond the page or classroom and ultimately are necessary to engage with such global issues as the environmental crisis.
Download or read book Lost for Words written by Martin Wells and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-25 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early hours of almost every morning during the Covid lockdown in the months of March and April 2021, these poems began mysteriously arriving - like persistent early morning visitors. Curiously, the author's wife was absent for the whole of this time, and much to her amusement, in her place lay an open notebook, a blank page and a pen. Soon nearly 40 poems filled the notebook - Martin never having written poetry in his life before. Although the pandemic provides the foreground for this collection of poems, they have also been prompted by timeless universal themes, symbolised in a snowdrop, a park bench or an olive tree; found in conversations about love and life and death, in news items and random images. But most of all arising out of that deep longing for union and freedom at the source of each of us. The poems are about what it means to be alive and deeply connected to the natural world. In so doing they go to the heart of mindful living and non-dual wisdom.

Book Synopsis Through Darkness into Light by : Ann Yates
Download or read book Through Darkness into Light written by Ann Yates and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intention of this book is to help people heal and move through their emotional pain to a place of better balance and peace. The author, Ann Yates, has done this by sharing both the darkness and light of her emotional experiences and journey in her poems and writings about mindfulness. She hopes her poems offer understanding and validation to others who struggle with similar experiences and feelings. Often, people are reluctant to talk about the deep darkness they feel, but once they do, the light can start coming in. That is the pattern of the author's poems, which has created the title of this book. Ann hopes her mindfulness writings will also support working with the deep darkness. Mindfulness can seem overwhelming, yet it doesn't have to be complex or require a lot of time to learn. Instead, the author focuses on a very simple mindfulness approach she developed called PACT, which stands for Pause, Accept/Acknowledge, Choose, and Therapy. It is free, always available, does not require special equipment or professionals (the therapy is actually something a person can do on his or her own), and is easy to learn and remember. The more the author uses PACT and the more she discusses its use with others, the more she sees how powerful and beneficial it is. She also discusses other simple and mindful approaches to work with emotional distress.

Older now, but still seeing the world with fresh eyes, she gives us priceless views on every page. -Michael Leach, author of Soul Seeing Deirdre Cornell's small poems take us with them to a quiet attentive place where we can sense connections, marvel, and feel a sense of calm acceptance. -Hannah Mahoney, Poet The Haiku poems are evocative and uplifting.
