Meditations for Teachers
These 5 minute guided meditations will help you take mindful moments to decompress mid-day.
Each is just 5 minutes long, and organized into categories so you can find what you need, right when you need it:
Take a 5 minute "mindful moment" anytime you need to recenter:
Mentally prepare for your day and set a positive intention by listening when you first wake up, during your commute, or right before students enter the classroom.
Use a mindful reset during your break or planning time. Choose a meditation that helps you let go of what's already happened, return to a relaxed neutral state, or re-energize for the rest of the day.
Decompress and downregulate your nervous system when the workday is done. Mentally transition from school to home after dismissal, on your commute, or when unwinding at home.
