"Mindful Thoughts for Mothers is the perfect present for mums everywhere. It explores a mother's world, helping the reader to hold a sense of the `bigger picture' while being present in the day-to-day." - Mental Health Foundation "The opposite of hardline, hectoring motherhood manuals, this charmingly illustrated hardback takes a gentle meander through the motherhood journey." - Waitrose Weekend Motherhood is one of the most wonderful and powerful experiences we can have in life. As the early years of our children's lives unfold, we will undoubtedly experience the joys they bring, but will also encounter the stress and demands that appear daily and nightly on the parenting path. Using mindfulness practice to manage these demands we can become more present and meet life with awareness, in the moment. These reflections on motherhood will help you find greater self-understanding and enable you to navigate a mindful path along this exciting journey.
