Picture
When it comes to practicing peace, naming our feelings is very important.
  • Today, lets experiment with sharing our feelings.
  • We will take turns, when one person is speaking, everyone else is listening.
  • When you wish to share, raise your hand and it will be your turn to share how you are feeling and everyone else will listen.
  • Ready?
    • Let’s take our three, deep, peaceful breaths together.
    • Take a quiet moment to notice how you are feeling. Are you afraid, happy, nervous, angry, excited?
    • Think about what your feeling is like in your body. Are your muscles tight or relaxed? Is your tummy rumbly, or calm?
    • Does your feeling have a color or sound? Are you hot, cold, jittery, achy?
  • Sharing:
    • Now, when you are ready, raise your hand and it will be your turn to share:
    • I feel…. My body feels…
    • Now let’s all take another deep peaceful breath.
    • Has anything about your feeling changed?
    • Thank you for noticing and sharing your feelings. Let’s thank each other for listening to us as we shared.
  • This week:
    • We can share peace by noticing our feelings and sharing with someone we trust.
