Catching Presence An Endeavour Towards Inner Peace

This is a self-help book. It is an awakening for adults to seek to be present and endeavour to have more fun, find awe in the world around us, and practice relaxation/meditation and kindness. Once adults begin practising this, it gives us the opportunity to pass these practices on to our children. The mental health of our young people is in crisis. As a school principal, I have witnessed first-hand the dramatic increase in medications taken by children for mental health-related issues. My goal is to normalise practices that can build strategies for lifelong positive mental health. If we can start these in primary school our children will be equipped with the tools to work through difficult situations and age positively. Let's all test the Dalai Lama's theory: "Teach every 8-year-old child to meditate and we will eliminate violence within one generation."
