Five Seeds: Bringing Mind-Body Awareness to Health Care and Education

A Settled Mind:
Stress Reduction for the Classroom and Beyond

This manual and curriculum guide is a both a comprehensive overview of stress and the brain-body connection, and a starter kit for educators and school leaders to implement stress reduction techniques in the classroom and beyond. The program uses three research-supported mind-body techniques that are gentle and user-friendly: breath and body awareness, guided imagery, and mindfulness. Each technique is supported with a guided relaxation script and audio recording (found on the accompanying CD), as well as classroom suggestions and age-appropriate activities.
