We aim to help children feel empowered as they see themselves as a friend of Tao, learning about hearing and listening to their inner voice.
The adventures of Tao and his friends convey positive messages that help children listen more deeply to hear the sounds around them. This assists in their connection to hearing their own positive inner wisdom. Readers can guide children to participate and practice the activities in the story.
The violet mandala, which is designed specifically for this book, relates to the colour of the crown chakra. The energy of the words has been infused within the mandala.
The secret is to read the affirmations and explain them to the child so they can understand the deeper meaning behind the words. We hope you visualise the enchantment within the pages, feel the excitement and imagine hearing the sounds in the story.
