Mindfulness in everyday moments with your students

I have tried with my 11th grade students, and it is very good for them and for me. First they fill a bit weird but then it help them to refocus and relieve.

These are difficult moments and students need as much help as we can give. 

Just try it!

 

Basic mindfulness meditation

1. Sit on a straight-backed chair or cross-legged on the floor.
2. Focus on an aspect of your breathing, such as the sensation of air flowing into your nostrils and out of your mouth, or your belly rising and falling as you inhale and exhale.
3. Once you've narrowed your concentration in this way, begin to widen your focus. Become aware of sounds, sensations, and ideas.
4. Embrace and consider each thought or sensation without judging it as good or bad. If your mind starts to race, return your focus to your breathing. Then expand your awareness again.
