Meta-Meditation for Mental Health educates readers about the evolving possibilities of meditation practice using technology-assisted devices, applications, and platforms and assists them in navigating this information to make it practical and gain benefits in their lives.Fueled by a growing body of scientific evidence, technology advances including neurofeedback, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence have prompted the creation of meditation-assisted devices and applications that are radically changing how traditional meditation has been practiced. Together, these meditation technologies have created a "e;new"e; or evolved form of meditation practice, something that extends beyond the traditional concepts and approaches: a meta-meditation. While a promising development, the challenge is that for meditators-experienced and those new to practice-these technologies are a fast-moving, complex target, which require guidance in navigating. This book expands on this phenomenon and helps guide readers to gain maximum benefit from these new technologies while exploring how to use them, the benefits and downsides, frequency of use, and more.Ideal for mental health professionals working in meditation, mindfulness, and other mind-body practices, this book summarizes the exciting possibilities of meta-meditation and provides practical, everyday advice on how to make the most of phenomenon.

Research shows that a highly stressed brain does not absorb or remember information, causing learning to essentially shut down. Today’s students are more stressed and anxious than ever, and classrooms have become tense places. Educators require knowledge and skills to facilitate and teach students stress-management techniques and find creative ways to embed them in the classroom culture and daily routines. Calming Student Stress is a synthesis of empirical-based mind-body practices that have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, help students remain centered and focused, and connect with the learning and each other. Various methods, techniques, and strategies that draw from mindfulness, yoga, tai chi, breathwork, and visualization are clearly defined, situated within current research, and geared towards both elementary and secondary students. Suggestions on how to introduce mind-body practices to students, as well as administrators and parents, are also provided within this helpful guide.

This book introduces mindfulness as an approach for enhancing the supervision of teachers and teacher candidates. Drawing on empirical research and the welcoming of mindfulness in public school classrooms, the author makes the case for embracing mindfulness methods as a way to become more conscious of supervisory practices and “less reactive” and to enhance regularly enacted tasks, such as classroom observations, conference, and foster relationships and developing collegiality. In contrast to traditional models of supervision, the author reframes supervision as a present moment experience in which unlimited possibilities exist. Awakening to Educational Supervision: A Mindfulness-Based Approach to Coaching and Supporting Teachers provides specific techniques and exercises, such as mindfulness breathing and meditation, mindful walking, mindful note-taking, and deep listening, that can be embedded in supervision routines and practices. Additional notions furthering the mindful supervision approach are also addressed, including the role of intuition, mindfulness in relation to ethical and moral action within supervision, and mindfulness as a way to further building community among school stakeholders.
