Life Spheres for Health and Energy at
Tregolls School
An innovative project for emotional health and well-being in the primary
school involving: The Cornwall Healthy Schools Scheme, The Primary
Health & Substance Education Project and Jeanne Hampshire of ‘Life Spheres’
Encouraging children to look after their emotional and physical
well-being by learning a series of simple flowing Qigong exercises as practiced
by Chinese families and communities with great health benefits over many thousands of years. Practices
include relaxation methods, deepening the breath and relating
movements to the emotions and everyday activities. To complement the
practices each child creates a Special Sparkly Book to hold personal
images and affirmations. At the end of the course a unique ceremony
incorporating movements and artwork is dedicated to the whole school
community.
Teacher’s feedback: ‘Just watching the whole school working with
quiet concentration was a privilege.’
