The Wind in Me: the First Step in Sensing Your Bodymind Diane L. Smalley

Your first action when you are born is to breathe. It is the most instinctive function of the body. Imagine how much more peace you would experience if you made the most of this core process. Everything is easier when we are exhaling. Children are in the best position to receive and utilize this key knowledge. Written in the simplest terms, the child learns to self-soothe and find peace. The second half of the book includes interactive pages of inhaling and exhaling as the words are read out loud. The finish is ideal for bedtime. Through a lush set of watercolor paintings by Ann Meyer Maglinte, the concepts come to life. "When I breathe out, I have the power of the Wind."
