Mindful Breathing: Connecting to the Present

Breath Mindfulness

1. Have students sit comfortably in their seats, with their backs straight and feet flat on the floor.

2. Instruct them to close their eyes or keep a soft gaze at a point in front of them.

3. Clarify that the aim is to concentrate on their breath, noticing each inhale and exhale without trying to control it.

4. Guide them through a deep breathing sequence: breathe in through the nose for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale slowly through the mouth for 6 seconds, and hold again for 2 seconds.

5. Repeat this deep breathing cycle three times.

6. Afterward, ask students to return to their natural breathing and silently count each inhale and exhale to 10, restarting if they lose focus.

7. After 2 minutes of natural breathing, invite students to gradually become aware of their surroundings, opening their eyes slowly and returning to a state of alertness.

Kontekstualisasi Konten

Humans have been captivated by the moon's phases for ages. Just as the moon cycles through its phases, our emotions also go through changes depending on various situations and moments in our lives. Understanding these lunar phases can encourage us to reflect on our own cyclical nature and strive for emotional balance. Just as the moon affects tides and life on Earth, our emotions shape our decisions and social interactions. Exploring the moon’s phases allows us to gain a better awareness of natural cycles and our emotional journey, facilitating deeper self-understanding and a stronger connection with the world.

Pengembangan

Durasi: (60 - 75 minutes)

Panduan Teori

Durasi: (25 - 30 minutes)

1. Introduction to the Phases of the Moon: Explain that the moon completes a full cycle every 29.5 days, passing through distinct phases including the new moon, waxing, full moon, and waning. Use visuals or animations to illustrate these phases.

2. New Moon: During this phase, the moon is situated between the Earth and the Sun. The illuminated side faces the Sun while the dark side faces our planet, making it invisible from Earth. Emphasize that this phase symbolizes fresh starts.

3. Waxing Moon: Following the new moon, the moon enters the waxing phase where its visible area gradually increases. Use the analogy of a fingernail growing to illustrate this visually.

4. Full Moon: In the full moon phase, the Earth is positioned between the moon and the Sun, allowing the entire face of the moon to be visible from Earth. Relate this phase to feelings of completion and success.

5. Waning Moon: After the full moon, the moon begins to wane, and the visible portion starts to decrease. Compare this to the idea of decreasing size or energy.

6. Forecasting the Moon Phases: Show students how to predict the next moon phase by discussing the timeframe between each phase (approximately 7.4 days). Incorporate practical examples and hands-on activities to reinforce their understanding.

Lunar Journal and Emotions

Students will create a 'Lunar Journal' to observe and document the phases of the moon over a month, linking their observations to their emotions and daily experiences.

1. Distribute a notebook or sheets of paper to each student for their 'Lunar Journal'.

2. Instruct them to observe the moon each night and sketch the phase they see.

3. Encourage students to jot down the emotions they experienced throughout the day and reflect on how these emotions may relate to the current moon phase.

4. Remind students to be sincere and thorough in their notes, contemplating how the moon's phases might symbolize their emotional shifts.

5. After a week, hold a class discussion where students can share their observations and insights.

Diskusi dan Umpan Balik Kelompok

For the group discussion, start using the RULER method to help students recognize the emotions they noted in their journals. Ask: 'How did you feel during different moon phases?' Understand the triggers for these emotions by discussing daily occurrences that may have influenced them: 'What happened that day that could have impacted your feelings?' Name the emotions accurately, assisting students in identifying specific feelings such as 'joy', 'sadness', or 'anxiety'. Express these feelings appropriately, creating a safe space for sharing their experiences. Regulate emotions by discussing coping strategies for managing tough feelings, like breathing exercises or relaxation techniques.
