Mindful in Minutes: Meditation for the Modern Family

Meditation Mama podcast host Smith offers more than 100 guided meditative practices designed to help families incorporate mindfulness into their homes and lives. The book focuses on the basics of meditation, practices for the whole family, mindfulness, insight for expectant and nonexpectant parents, and techniques for partners. In “Meditation 101,” the book discusses what meditation is and isn’t, gives a basic how-to, and spotlights some of its mental and health benefits, including how meditation can physically change one’s brain. There are meditations and mantras to alleviate stress, anxiety, insomnia, sadness, burnout, and more. There is also guidance on how to set intentions, show gratitude, and find joy in everyday living. Each section has easy-to-follow, short practice exercises for adults and youths.
