When I am restless I focus on my breathing.” - Trevor, Age 12 “Watching my breath helped me CALM DOWN! It was hard to do. I want to continue.” - Josh, Age 8 “Practicing breath awareness lets me focus on myself for a while, instead of observing the things around me like I normally do.” - Michelle, Age 10 “I tried a breath awareness workshop; I never imagined that this experience would be transformational.” - Katy, Age 54 “Breath awareness quiets my mind and connects me with a feeling of infinite space and peace within.” - Heidi, Age 55 Artist and teacher Heidi Thompson has practiced breath awareness for more than twenty-five years. After experiencing positive changes in her life, she developed Mindmastery – an attention-development program called Mindmastery for children. Shortly thereafter, in 1999, Mindmastery was featured on CBC Television and her article “Teaching Children Concentration” was published in Vancouver‘s Common Ground magazine. In response to a flood of inquiries from parents, teachers, and childcare professionals wanting to learn breath awareness and to teach it to children, she has now written this practical learning and teaching guide.
