A Walk in the Wood: Meditations on Mindfulness with a Bear Named Pooh offers life lessons grounded in the simple act of slowing down, observing what is around us, and being present in our lives moment by moment.The benefits of mindfulness are well recognized: greater peace of mind, less stress, and the opportunity to work through and transform thoughts, memories, and worries. It also fosters equanimity, helping us accept the changes and challenges life brings.In our frantic world, who better to guide readers through this transformative practice than a long-beloved bear who has perfected the art of simply being? "Just two things to do to truly be Pooh--just be present and kind," he says.And, not coincidentally, he lives in the woods. There is a growing acknowledgment of the benefits of deeply experiencing nature. The calming quality of sounds like running water and rustling leaves, the soothing properties of smells like lavender and chamomile, and the emotional comfort of beautiful natural vistas are well known.A Walk in the Wood is both inspiring and instructive. Simple stories with clearly stated goals and easy-to-follow exercises provide all the tools you'll need to take the first step, or continue on your journey, toward a quieter and calmer way of living.

Review

"A Walk in The Wood is a charming and delightful tale that introduces mindfulness in a way that is both fun and engaging. Follow Pooh on a journey through his day as he learns how to play joyfully, practice kindness, and appreciate the importance of the present moment. Beautifully crafted in word and art, it is a wonderful read for all ages." ―Chade-Meng Tan, Founder of Google, Inc.'s Mindfulness Training Program;New York Timesbestselling author of "Joy on Demand"and "Search Inside You"

"This is a perfect Winnie the Pooh bedtime (or anytime) story that is sure to delight adults and children alike. Through the adventures and eyes of Pooh, and the wisdom writings of mindfulness teachers, we learn how to live in the present moment and appreciate that we already possess everything we need to be happy." ―Sharon Salzberg, renowned meditation teacher and New York Times best-selling author of "Real Happiness" and "Real Love: the Art of Mindful Connection"
"The charming stories and illustrations beautifully introduce many engaging themes. I especially appreciated the instructions adults can share with children about how to practice aspects of mindfulness in daily life. These nicely reinforce the playful yet meaningful messages the stories express. A Walk in the Wood is a wonderful addition to the writings in this field!" ―Dr. Cynthia Conlon, Northwestern University's Wellness Center Mindfulness Coordinator

"What came to mind in reading this beautifully crafted book was how marvelous it will be as a manual for our Montessori School to teach timeless truths about kindness, friendship, and mindfulness.
A Walk in the Wood's stories are perfect for parents to share with children, and for anyone whose heart warms in recollecting the qualities of the beloved Bear and appreciating what a wonderful guide to life he can be." ―Riza Weinstein, past President of Association Montessori Internationale Canada

"This beautiful and moving book is rich in inspiring life lessons and playful humor. I've long known that animals are our teachers. In A Walk in the Wood, the beloved Winnie the Pooh and his friends invite us to live, learn, and love unconditionally, fully in the present moment. This is the book we've been waiting for!" ―Deb Leon, CEO and Founder of WhiskerDocs.com

"What a fabulous book! It is so artfully designed, the stories are great fun, and the messages are wonderfully meaningful and inspiring. This is going to be a classic!" ―Rick Dees, Radio and TV Personality, America's Top 40, and Platinum Record for Disco Duck

From the Back Cover

When we're grounded and at ease, We can wander where we please,With our senses as our guide, We can let our thoughts subside,And then while away the hours, In the stream and by the flowers.

I am not lost, for I know where I am. But however, where I am may be lost. - Winnie
Recently, as I rode the train from Los Angeles to Santa Fe, "A Walk in the Wood" was my read. Along with the delight in rediscovering my favorite Winnie the Pooh characters, I found each chapter gave me a new perspective on my journey—listening, seeing, touching, tasting, and being open to adventure. I never realized how much like the self-doubting, grey donkey Eeyore I am! “Wish I could say yes, but I can’t.”Siblings Joseph and Nancy Parent take the characters of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and others on an inspiring and playfully aimless walk of discovery and kindness in the Hundred-Acre Wood. Each chapter showed me how to stay present, pay attention to my senses and surroundings, and to be mindful of every precious moment."A Walk In The Wood: Meditations on Mindfulness with a Bear Named Pooh" is illustrated in pen line by Denise Shimabukuro, in the familiar style of the original 1928 E.H. Shephard drawings, and filled with inspiring quotations from spiritual leaders. A perfect gift for both adults and children, it is very very wise.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on mindfulness I've ever read
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
Verified Purchase
I love this book and read a chapter (they're very short, only a couple of pages) every morning. It's plain, simple, non-religious, down-to-earth and thoroughly enjoyable instruction on practicing staying in the moment when your mind wants to wander or whirl. I still overthink things and sometimes whirl, but I'm learning how to derail the negative energy and get back on track and centered. After a few months of consistent practice, I feel so much calmer and patient. It's made the perfect gift for my friends who, like me, tend to think too much and miss the moment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful primer for those who are just discovering mindfulness into their life.

This book when first viewed might seem childish. However it’s definitely not childish. It’s an easy to read format. A Pooh story with good medical info provided at the end of each chapter. If you never understood what mindfulness was or are just beginning a life of mindfulness this book is the one to read before any other. It’s simple & easy to read yet has notes provided by the author (who is also a doctor). It certainly helped me understand mindfulness in its easy and lighthearted tale. I recommend it if you’re just beginning mindfulness.
The price is about what you’d expect for a hardback book.

“A Walk in the Wood”, has brought more peace and joy into my walk in the wood. My life is a little lighter, a little happier, with more mindfulness, and less mind-fullness. I could consider this book a friend, as I keep it close and turn to it for inspiration. I use the word “book” lightly as it holds much more meaning. This is a perfect self purchase as well as a wonderful and thoughtful gift for someone special (or anyone for that matter). Sweet Pooh, as always, will guide you to a more fruitful beingness.

Perfect book to teach mindfulness to young or old. The Pooh part is great to read to children and introduce them to living in the present. The explanation is simple and complex but written in a way for anyone to understand. This is a book I will read whenever I need a reminder to be mindful of the here and now.
