Master Trainers’ Four-Module training

• Advancing session 1 learnings - starting with applying bare attention on the breathing in-and-out, gradually move to mindful walking, being mindful when sitting, standing, lying down, etc.
• ‘Being in the present moment' and other experiences of being aware in the present moment; for example, when using SMS in day-to-day activities such as brushing teeth, bathing and taking food.
• Applying bare attention to sensory transactions - hearing, seeing, tasting, touching, smelling etc
• Importance of Glad Games – refer Pollyanna film (story of a young orphan girl Pollyanna and her boundless optimism)
• Applying the learning to the experiences in class, school activities, exams and various stressful situations
• Encourage teachers to use innovative ways when introducing the newly allocated time slots for the practice of mindfulness: ‘During the 10 minutes slot before the first period, how can I introduce mindfulness to class? Maybe I will use a mind-jar or a gong. Should I encourage students to try walking back to class, mindfully observing SMS, after recess? And during the 30 minutes weekly slot should I try mindful eating, or mindful listening exercises, alternatively?’
