Tranquility Discs for Untranquil Times
I call these things “Focus Tokens” and “Smidgets”. They’re small, bright, hand-painted bijoux the size of poker chips. I think of them as luck-channeling talismen: comforting objects to fiddle with or get lost in when your external circumstances get too harried, annoying or just plain stupid. Each Smidget’s colours swirl and rotate around a calm central focal point. Let your mind find that focus and relax. Begin your journey to calm.
Tranquility Discus are available for teachers and students as class sets. Colours can be specified and customized. The reverse side can be personalized with the student’s name, and each comes with an instruction card. Also provided is a suggested lesson plan for the teacher.
Tranquility Discs in the Classroom
We all need ways to relax, stay calm and turn our attention to pleasant thoughts and feelings. How does it work? It is quite simple! When you get stressed, distracted, scattered or your mind gets overloaded, hold the disc in the palm of your hand. Focus on the colors, shapes, patterns, texture and uniqueness of your disc. Play with the disc in the palm of your hand, roll it between your finger tips and focus. Don’t think of anything. Let the universe show you what to do. Breathe and let go. Think of nothing for at least five minutes and then return to what you were originally doing.
