## What this page said

The page described the Education Initiative as bringing relaxation-response-based coping skills and life management tools into schools. It said the classroom exercises were kept basic and based on visual imagery or simple yoga stretches and movement.

One scripted exercise, Your Special Place, asked students to choose a photograph of a relaxing place and then imagine visiting it with eyes closed, picturing what they would do there, the sounds, warmth and feeling of being safe. The page presented it as a pattern teachers could adapt.

## Key points from the original

- Part of the Education Initiative for schools.
- Exercises used imagery and gentle movement.
- Included a scripted guided-imagery exercise.
