This is an applied book rooted in ancient and timeless wisdom, refined in the caves and on the mountains of antiquity, and honed in busy and noisy urban environments and in the real life of contemporary classrooms. This is a book about mindfulness that could make a real difference to the way in which teachers and students experience life in the classroom. - Leslie J Francis, Professor of Religions and Education, University of Warwick I totally endorse and support inspiration for children about which Billie writes, which is so needed in this world with so many machines that children are attracted to. We need to help to balance through being in nature, meditations, simple conversations around the dining room table with family, and everything that removes us from the electronic age for a time so that we can be. We need to balance with simple living and simple learning. Billie's book will help many parents and teachers, and is an important read. - Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Yoga teacher A passionate call to remember what education should be: a journey where each child as a unique person is valued and allowed to find their path of development: where they can flourish and find joy. A reminder of educators' responsibility to see education as more than facts and exam preparation - to see education as beauty, as the tools each child needs to guide their own learning. This book is a treasure box of ideas about the person, about education, and it generously shares with us dozens of meditation exercises that can help us and our children learn about ourselves and develop the empathy our world so desperately needs. - Karem Roitman, lecturer, international development consultant and Director of Thinkers Meet Up This magnificent teachers handbook that instructs young people how to BE rather than how to DO is revolutionary to the educational system. The importance of this book cannot be overemphasized. With just enough personal story to make it relatable and easy to understand, one finds here the exact key to unlock the skills required of the next generation, as it is only in the stillness of meditation that one finds one's muse. Creativity will be the principle power needed by our descendants to solve the problems of the future. This book by Billie Krstovic is an indispensable teaching tool. - Elizabeth B.
