An Enchanting Mindfulness Book for Children with Neha Swaminathan

Neha Swaminathan is an author, certified breath coach and the co-founder of Flip and Flow’, an emotional well-being brand that creates and delivers easy-to-implement mindfulness tools for its clients.

When I first met Neha and she introduced me to Flip and Flow’s mindful meditation and mantra book for kids aptly titled “ “Once Upon A Breath….In A Magical Forest”, I was stunned by its creativity, design and ability to engage children into a delightful series of short breathing exercises, meditations and affirmations. I had to get the low-down on how her and her co-founder Tina managed to design something so versatile and therapeutically unique for kids.

We did a short Q&A chat with Neha to find out more. Here’s what Neha shared with us and why we’re super excited about how Flip & Flow’s wonderful mindfulness book can help young children navigate their own mental well-being.

Q: The Flip and Flow meditations and mantra flipbook, that you aptly call “Once Upon A Breath….In A Magical Forest”, is such a genius idea. With its gorgeous illustrations, thoughtful prompts for breath and mindfulness for little children and the clever ‘calendar-flip’ design — I am curious as to what led you to creating it and what you would like young children to get out of it?
