Bringing Mindfulness Into the Classroom: Mindfulness Bell

I think this mindfulness exercise would be a great way to start your class or to help signal for cleanup.  

Here is the exercise by Thich Nhat Hanh

Please pause and breathe joyfully three times before going back to what you were doing… 

“Hearing the bell,
I am able to let go of all afflictions.
My heart is calm,
my sorrows ended.
I am no longer bound to anything.
I learn to listen to my suffering
and the suffering of the other person.
When understanding is born in me,
compassion is also born.”

-Thich Nhat Hanh
