KATSURA SUZUKI
As Eastern mindfulness practices have become popularized in the West, we think of the solitary practitioner sitting with eyes closed — focusing the mind on one’s inner world. And yet, this is an incomplete picture of what ancient mindfulness practices have to offer our world today.
Drawing from the forgotten wisdom of the Japanese Tea Ceremony, Dr. Suzuki reveals that the ultimate purpose of mindfulness is the discovery of our unique Invisible Gifts that can transform the lives of those we love. The fruit of dynamic mindfulness is not for our sole benefit but is meant to be shared to heal and strengthen our relationships with each other and with our planet.
Dr. Suzuki’s method will be presented with the release of The Invisible Gift: A Breakthrough Mindfulness Method to Strengthen and Repair Relationships (published by Berry Powell Press in November 2022).
Dr. Suzuki’s Invisible Gift Method is presented to children ages 8-12 through the eyes of a Birdfish. The perfect gift to teach emotional intelligence in an entertaining way.
Being half bird and half fish, Staraku has never fit in. But when she leaves her home in search of a place to belong, a mysterious crystal island and a strange new guide show her that what makes her different makes her more powerful than she ever imagined.
When Staraku learns her island is on the brink of destruction, she must make a choice. Will she let the birds and fish who rejected her fend for themselves? Or will she use her new power to try to save them and bridge an impossible divide?
