From Kelty Mental Health:
"Developed by the BC Children's Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre and BC Children's Centre for Mindfulness, along with young people, this free app provides ways to get started with mindfulness.
Breathr provides opportunities for youth and young adults to try a variety of mindfulness practices, from guided meditations to simple practices that can be used anywhere.
It also teaches interesting facts about the brain science behind those practices. For example, did you know that regularly practicing mindfulness can improve your relationships and connection with others? Or that it has been shown to change parts of the brain that improve memory and reduce stress?
Our aim is to show youth that mindfulness can be fun, easy to try, and that it can have noticeable benefits for their overall health and well-being."

These two e-books have a HUGE amount of useful and user-friendly info for your research tasks in phys-ed, health, fitness, and health care. You need to log in to the sites. That's a hassle, but it's worth the step! It's like pumping up your bike tires to make your ride easier, or waiting in the long line to get your morning Tim Horton's. Passwords found HERE.
