Description
A playful rhyming meditation story to help kids ages 4-8 be captains of their own ships and navigate emotional highs and lows.
Learn to breathe through storms of emotions in this nautical meditation adventure.
Whether you’re grouchy or grumpy, gloomy or grey, the Wildering Billies cannot get their way. They yell and they shout and they cry and they weep but your breath holds you steady way down in the deep.
When sailing through the open seas of life, the waters are not always calm. From out of nowhere waves of stress, worry, and anxiety—here personified as wild and furry creatures called the Wildering Billies—can rock our boat. Step by step, this story shows us how to calm the dreaded and colorful Billies, showing that their ruckus is no match for the stillness and quiet we can cultivate through meditation. By imagining ourselves as ships floating in the sea of our minds and anchored by our breath, we can learn to ride through the storms of life to smoother waters.
Inspired by her decades of Zen practice and work with children, Zuisei has created this delightful introduction to the world of meditation. The book ends with a helpful recap of the steps Stop, Imagine, Breathe, and Anchor, so kids can remember how to tame the Billies whenever emotions are overwhelming, sending them on their way.
