Put one hand on your chest.
Place your other hand on your belly.
Take slow deep breaths and feel your chest and your belly move up and down as the air goes in and out of your body.
 
At night when it’s hard to fall asleep because your mind is busy and your body feels tight,
try balloon breath to get relaxed and ready for a good night.
 
Lie down on your back and let your hands rest by your sides, palms up.
Inhale through your nose and imagine filling your body with breath like a big balloon.
Exhale and blow the air out through your mouth.
What colour is your balloon?

Explore the rich cultural and spiritual traditions behind one of the world's most beloved celebrations with Why We Celebrate Día de los Muertos by Melanie Stuart-Campbell. This beautifully written book invites readers into the heart of Día de los Muertos — a sacred Mexican tradition honoring the lives of those who have passed, rooted in Indigenous Aztec customs and woven together with Catholic folk practice over centuries.

Through ofrendas (altars), marigold petals, sugar skulls, candles, and beloved foods, the dead are welcomed back for one night to share in the warmth of family and memory.

What This Book Covers
