Children find great joy in books that deal with fantastic journeys, yoga, and meditation exercises. In contrast, there are significantly fewer comparable books for young people. Teenagers are no longer seen as cute and often reject authority. They come into conflict with parents and teachers, signaling a desire for greater independence. Teenagers seek respect and want their new maturity and growing sense of responsibility to be acknowledged. Nevertheless, they do not want to feel abandoned by their parents and teachers; they want to know that we care about them. The meditations in this volume respond to this need. In ten chapters, important life themes for young people are addressed: 1. Who am I? 2. Being alone. 3. Dealing with stress and risk. 4. Me and my relationships. 5. Moods and feelings. 6. My body - my self.
