Povzbuzovat dítě k tomu, aby meditovalo, může na první pohled vypadat jako snaha o nemožné. Ve skutečnosti však může meditace – pokud k ní přistupujeme vynalézavým a lákavým způsobem – dětem v mnoha ohledech velmi prospět. Může je zbavit úzkosti, zvýšit jejich sebevědomí, dát volný průchod jejich představivosti, ukázat jim skutečnou hodnotu klidu a zamyšlení a pomoci jim, aby z nich vyrostli vyrovnaní adaptabilní lidé.

Speciální afirmace pomáhají rodičům vystihnout hlubší význam příběhu, aby se z něj dítě mohlo lépe poučit. Každý příběh začíná tím, že si dítě v duchu bere kouzelnou lucernu a vydává se na tajuplnou cestu, na níž objevuje celý nový svět fantazie.
Tato kniha vám pomůže ve vašich dětech prohlubovat koncentraci, tvořivost, sebedůvěru a uvolnění.
