The Power of our Breath

In life, we as adults know that challenges are inevitable and big emotions will come. Here in class, we're working on experiencing big emotions without being overwhelmed by them. We talked about big feelings we all have felt, such as fear, worry, and anger. We can't avoid these feelings, so how can we move through them? We read Magic Breath, a book that can help us when our feelings feel big. 

We practiced taking deep "magic breaths', and letting the air out slowly. 

We loved making visual reminders of the power of our breath when we have big feelings. A little paint and sparkle brought lots of joy to our room!

We integrate deep breathing into our day in different ways and at different times. Breathing is one tool that can help us move through big feelings.
