Mindful Breathing: Staying In The Moment

Breath Mindfulness

1. Ask students to sit comfortably, with their backs straight and feet flat on the ground.

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

3. Explain that the aim is to focus on their breathing, observing each intake and outflow without trying to control it.

4. Lead them through a deep breathing exercise: take a deep breath in through the nose for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, exhale slowly through the mouth for 6 seconds, and hold for another 2 seconds.

5. Repeat this deep breathing cycle three times.

6. Then, ask the students to return to their natural breath and silently count each inhale and exhale up to 10, starting again if they lose focus.

7. After two minutes, guide students to gradually become aware of their surroundings, slowly opening their eyes as they return to alertness.

Kontekstualisasi Konten

The phases of the moon have intrigued people since ancient times. Just as the moon goes through cycles, our emotions change with various situations throughout our lives. Understanding the phases of the moon allows us to reflect on our cyclical nature and seek emotional balance. Just as the moon affects tides and the natural world, our emotions influence our decisions and interactions with others. Studying the moon's phases helps foster a deeper awareness of natural cycles and our own emotional journeys, promoting self-awareness and a stronger connection to our surroundings.

Panduan Teori

Durasi: (25 - 30 minutes)

1. Introduction to the Phases of the Moon: Discuss that the moon completes a cycle every 29.5 days, going through distinct phases such as the new moon, waxing, full moon, and waning. Use illustrations or animations to visually represent these phases.

2. New Moon: During the new moon phase, the moon is placed between the Earth and the Sun. As the illuminated side faces the Sun, the dark side points toward Earth, making it invisible to us. Emphasize that this phase signifies new beginnings.

3. Waxing Moon: After the new moon, the moon enters its waxing phase. Explain that during this time, the visible part of the moon gradually enlarges, akin to a growing fingernail.

4. Full Moon: In the full moon phase, the Earth lies between the moon and the Sun, and the entire face of the moon is visible. Relate this phase to feelings of completion and accomplishment.

5. Waning Moon: Following the full moon, the moon enters the waning phase, where the visible portion gradually diminishes. Draw a parallel to the concept of reduction in size or energy.

6. Forecasting the Moon Phases: Demonstrate how to predict the next moon phase by discussing the interval between phases (approximately 7.4 days). Use practical examples and exercises to emphasize understanding.

Lunar Journal and Emotions

Students will maintain a 'Lunar Journal' to observe and document the moon phases over a month, reflecting on how these phases correspond with their emotions and daily experiences.

1. Provide each student with a notebook or sheets of paper for their 'Lunar Journal'.

2. Explain that they should observe the moon every night and draw the phase they see.

3. Instruct students to note the emotions they felt throughout the day and how these might relate to the moon phase they observed.

4. Encourage honesty and detail in their entries, reflecting on how moon phases could symbolize their emotional shifts.

5. After a week, organize a class discussion where students can share their findings and reflections.

Diskusi dan Umpan Balik Kelompok

For the group discussion, start using the RULER method to help students recognize the emotions documented in their journals. Ask: 'How did you feel during various moon phases?' Understand the causes of their emotions by discussing daily occurrences that may have influenced them: 'What events transpired that could have affected your feelings?' Name the emotions correctly, helping students pinpoint specific feelings like 'happiness', 'sadness', or 'anxiety'. Express these feelings appropriately by encouraging them to share experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Regulate emotions by discussing coping strategies for difficult feelings, such as breathing exercises or relaxing activities.
