Bee Still: An Invitation to Meditation

Bentley is a lovable honeybee who does not participate in the frantic buzzing of other bees. Instead, he uses meditation to help calm himself and find inner peace. Soon the rest of the forest animals are joining along with Bentley as they sit, breathe, and “”bee”” still! Research has indicated that meditation can assist with improving concentration and focus, calming anxiety, and reducing impulsivity. A Note to Parents and Caregivers is included with information on how to teach children to practice meditation.
