{"product_id":"the-misted-mirror-mindfulness-peter-mack-9781999923266","title":"The Misted Mirror - Mindfulness for Schools and Universities","description":"Mindfulness is a wonderful technique to restore tranquillity. There is a growing body of evidence to show that mindfulness has substantial benefits in reducing stress and improving learning retention in the school and university environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Misted Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e is one of few books that provides readers with not only an insight into the nature of mindfulness in the context of psychotherapy, but also takes the practice and philosophy of mindfulness into the learning environment and the realm of holistic education. While the target readership are students between 13-20 years of age, it is highlighted that mindfulness practice is equally important to both teachers and students.\u003cbr\u003eUnlike other books on the subject, \u003cem\u003eThe Misted Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e adopts a purely secular slant and avoids the promotion of any religious content whatsoever. With his background knowledge of education theory, the author has explained very clearly the application of mindfulness principles to classroom learning, managing learning stress and improving teaching approaches, with appropriate examples. In one of the chapters, he has even expounded a personal experience of how contemplative learning is conducted in an outdoor excursion using mindfulness principles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is perhaps most amazing with this book is the series of guided imagery scripts and practical art exercises provided in the appendix. These are based on the author's own experience of combining mindfulness with art expression in supporting hospital patients emotionally. Furthermore, a college teacher has kindly contributed the content of her own mindfulness-based art program to enrich the appendix. Parents and other teachers will most likely find these exercises invaluable in helping their own children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Mack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 199992326X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781999923266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spiritual Regression Therapy Association\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Peter Mack","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990876225791,"sku":"9781999923266","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e7a250f-f134-49c2-a60d-341c94d0edee.jpg?v=1683307193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-misted-mirror-mindfulness-peter-mack-9781999923266","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
