MINDFULNESS RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS
In order to ensure you have self care while at home use some of these mindfulness techniques to assist you.
Still Point : This activity is a great way to support ourselves in a challenging situation. It has two parts. First is to help us find a calm, relaxed state. The second is to create a simple way for us to find that state or Still Point, any time we are stressed or worried.
1. Sit up tall and roll your shoulders back.
2. Relax your breath by curling your tongue and sipping air through it, like a straw.
3. Inhale to the count of 3 and exhale through your nose to the count of 3.
4. Relax your breath again by curling your tongue and sipping air through it. When you begin to feel relaxed cross your middle finger and your index finger.
5. Repeat several times. By finding a relaxing state and crossing our fingers, we are training our bodies to find that peaceful, relaxed stat—or Still Point—every time our fingers are crossed.
Five-Part Breath : This activity is empower us with the coping sills to be adaptable and present when we are feeling confused, upset, or we have lost direction. It gives us a strategy to feel in control and understand that we have a choice—that WE steer the ship—when we are feeling overwhelmed by school, home, or life.
(1) Attract what I expect
(2) Reflect what I desire
(3) Become what I respect
(4) Mirror what I admire.
(5) I am the creative principle in my life. I steer the ship.
(Adapted from a quotation, author unknown)
1. Sit up tall and roll your shoulders back.
2. Notice the pattern of your natural breath. Make your inhale and exhale breaths the same length. Inhale to the slow count of 5. Exhale to the slow count of 5.
3. You will match one inhalation with one line from the quotation above. For instance, for my first inhalation and exhalation I will silently say to myself “Attract what I expect.” For my second inhalation and exhalation I will silently say to myself, “Reflect what I desire,” and so on.
4. Go through the quotation twice this way.
