Daily Mindful Minis : Tiny Mindfulness Practices for the Fourth Trimester

There are shelves worth of books out there that extol a range of baby rearing philosophies and strategies.

This is not one of them. Instead, contained within these pages are eighty-four days worth of mindfulness practices and wisdom, culled from my fourth trimester experiences, that focus on caring for you, the mother.

Nothing can fully prepare you for the highs and lows of this transformational period.

Instead, I invite you to engage in these practices so that you can approach all the moments- enchanting, terrifying, mundane- from a place of compassionate awareness.

May this book serve as a reminder, each day, to stay with your real-time experience by connecting to the senses.

May it remind you to welcome the storm of emotions that accompany your first twelve weeks postpartum.

May it help you accept and let go of the thoughts that may plague you.

May it help you deepen your connection to your babes and other significant people in your lives.
