The Light That Stays
A kid's guide to meditation
A warm, practical guide to meditation for young readers — and the grown-ups beside them. It begins with one promise: there's a quiet, steady light inside you that doesn't go out. From there it teaches how to sit, how to breathe, how to picture and steady the mind, and how kindness and an unforced inner joy grow out of the practice — in fifteen short chapters, with practices small enough to actually keep.
