Gregory March

Greg is just another dad, trying to juggle life’s challenges of family and work while squeezing in the obligatory hobbies required to ‘balance’ one’s life.

At the same time, Greg does have a long held passion for Zen stories and meditation practice, which he sought to share with his two beloved sons James and Michael in his first book, The Muddy Road.

With the amazing help of the beautiful illustrations by Yae Yeung, this project spurred Greg on to write the second book, The Dog Who Chased His Tail. This time, he introduced a practical breathing song for kids to sing along to and enjoy while subtly sharing simple breathing and meditation techniques. This kids’ meditation book was well received by many, including a number of schools in Hong Kong, where Greg and his family live.

Greg has been invited to share his book with hundreds of children already, and he has observed that both kids and teachers seem to benefit from the practical and fun breathing songs they contain.This experience was where the idea for The Wild Horse, his third book full of practical and fun mindfulness games, thundered along from. The book also introduces the lovable characters of Monkey (representing ‘the monkey on our backs’, or distractions) and The Wild Horse, which represents our unruly minds and how we can attempt to tame them using mindfulness.

Each mindfulness game in this book can be tried interactively by kids, parents and teachers with simple props including a bottle, water, an apple, a pen and paper. Exercises include mindful awareness, mindful eating and mindful walking. Enjoy!
