Nature and Virtue Themed Exercises for Relaxation and Concentration

Whether you have five minutes or an hour to spend with your group, you will find useful exercises in this book. Use them in silence or with quiet music, either indoors or outdoors in nature. Write or project the instructions onto the classroom board, let your group relax, and take part in the calming moment. The exercises involve sitting, lying down, standing, or walking. There are also coloured pencil drawing tasks, which include nature observation and colouring virtues. The guided imagery poems explore nature themes and virtues such as peacefulness, courage, determination, kindness, patience, confidence, thankfulness, serenity, and wonder. All pages are printed in colour. Cover image (an opening oak bud) and green leaf drawings: Yadana Tun. British English edition.
