My friend and colleague Mark Westmoquette is an astrophysicist, zen and yoga teacher, and parent in the UK and is releasing a new book on cosmic exercises to practice mindfulness at bedtime for children and their parents. He shared some of the exercises with me to try with my own son and they’re great, so I can recommend the book from personal experience. Here’s more info on the book from the promo page:
