This lesson helps students explore the emotional and physical experience of calmness. Through guided reflection and discussion, students will learn to identify what calm feels like in their bodies and minds, and recognize when they are in a calm state. The lesson emphasizes that calmness is not the absence of emotion, but a peaceful and steady internal state that can be cultivated. Students will reflect on personal strategies that help them feel calm and begin developing their own calming routines.
