__**Calming Strategy**__ **- Guided Imagery and Visualization**
There are many wonderful books and CD's available to help children relax via guided imagery and visualization. In this lesson, I have the children think of a place that is really peaceful and relaxing. I allow them to think about it for a few minutes and ask them to get as many details in their mind as possible - use the 5 senses to develop at picture of their peaceful place. Then we take some time to share where our place is and the details we have conjured up. I also ask them to write or draw a picture of this to hang on to as a reminder.

If you are interested in a CD, a wonderful one I highly recommend is __Indigo Dreams.__ There are several tracks on the CD using several different visualization and imagery techniques including an affirmation web and guided relaxation for the whole body.
