Understand others! Feel good!
The teacher reads the exercise slowly, pausing at the dots…
Play soft music in the background.
If there is space, let the children lie quietly in a circle with feet in the centre. If not, say to them, sit in a comfortable position on your chairs. Make sure your back is straight and head is upright.
Take a deep breath and relax as you breathe out.
Close your eyes, or if you are uncomfortable with that, look down at the floor.
Take another deep breath … and another
Hear the sounds in the room…
Hear any sounds you can hear outside of the room…
Think, how can I be happy and love myself and other people?…
When you hear my small bell tinkle, slowly open your eyes, look at the person sitting next to you and smile.
