the Mindful Journey - A Visual reading - TRAILER

Reed is tired of having to do so much now that his baby brother  has arrived. It’s not fair. And his parents certainly don’t care about  him as much anymore—all they care about is the new baby in the house. So  what does he do about it? He leaves. Determined to never go back home  again, he and his pet monkey leave their village behind and head into  the jungle. When it gets dark, however, the jungle becomes a pretty  scary and dangerous place. But when an extraordinary visitor arrives,  Reed suddenly finds himself with his monkey and a jaguar on an  incredible journey to the farthest reaches of his imagination.

Soon in  the magical land of Shambhala, he is welcomed by a young apprentice  stonemason who conveys to Reed his sense of duty to society and to  simply be present with his senses. Sending Reed on his way into the  mythical kingdom, the young boy and his companions have no idea the  amazing sights they are about to see—or the incredible learning they are  about to experience!

Enlightening for children and adults alike, the  clever layering of Eastern philosophies as subtext never imposes itself  on this poetic story, allowing the dozen questions at the end to give  you and your child the opportunity to discover the concepts within the  text.

Including a guide to a simple meditation practice that is perfect  for young beginners, The Mindful Journey will help children know their  own minds, develop compassion for others, and build an enlightened  society.The Mindful Journey is based on Tibetan traditions critical for  Westerners to understand: happiness comes from embracing our world  rather than escaping it.
