Our district has given me the challenge of creating a Mindfulness Room for all our students' therapeutic use. The Mindfulness Room will provide students with a place to compress and reflect before returning to their classrooms. Without these items, I cannot create the room. The benefits of mindfulness are only beginning to emerge, and more rigorous research will unveil over the coming decades. We are building a safe place for all students to be able to focus on using meditation to be able to handle the present struggles of their life. The room's tools are not limited to relaxing lighting, soothing music, yoga mats for stretching, bean bags for flexible seating, and kindle reading. To foster a mindfulness culture within CHS, we will offer training to teachers with particularly challenging classes to create their level into a mindfulness practice. The result will be giving scholars the tools and skills for peaceful conflict resolution, improved focus and concentration, greater control and awareness of thoughts and emotions, improved self-regulation, and stress reduction and relaxation. We intend to see an increase in understanding of mindfulness as a practice within CHS culture.
