St. Patrick's Day Mindfulness

ST. PATRICK'S DAY MINDFULNESS

MINDFULNESS SCRIPT

This mindfulness script focuses on letting go of negative thoughts with each exhale.

With each inhale, students will breathe in positive affirmations and self-love statements. This can be used during a classroom lesson, small group counseling, or during individual counseling with students.

CLOVER BREATHING

The clover breathing exercise allows children to practice deep breathing. The child will begin the exercise with their pointer finger on the “Start Here” location. They will

breathe in through their nose as they guide their finger along the clover leaf. As they continue to guide their finger along the opposite side of the clover leaf, they will breathe out through their mouth.

RAINBOW BREATHING

The rainbow breathing exercise allows children to practice deep breathing with a

beautiful rainbow visual. The child will begin the exercise with their pointer finger on the top rainbow arch. They will breathe in through their nose as they guide their finger from the left side of the rainbow to the right side. They will continue this pattern until they reach the final rainbow arch on the bottom.
