The Calm Classroom
Welcome to The Calm Classroom.
After working as a teacher for many years and I found I was struggling to relax and turn my brain off. Here I discovered Reiki. I found that I can use Reiki to support people in Education; whether it be a child struggling to focus or a teacher trying to find time for their well-being and love teaching again.
The Calm Classroom offers Taster Days and Workshops for children, teenagers and teachers.
Using Reiki techniques children and teachers respond really well and very quickly to Reiki. Not only are they receptive they find it really enjoyable and relaxing. Reiki is calming and soothing, but it also offers participants a moment of laughter and fun too. The purpose is to reduce anxiety and tensions for all those who participate and create a strong sense of mental wellbeing, not only in the moment, but for the rest of your life.

Children and Teens
Well-being
Reiki can be offered to all ages as it is very gentle and non-invasive therapy.
Reiki can help children in many ways.
Firstly Reiki is very calming for children. As children, we all have a huge amount of energy flowing through our bodies, therefore we sometimes notice that children find it difficult to rest, particulary when it's getting ready to go to bed. Reiki will help children to calm any excess mental activity and relieve stress, as well as, balancing their emotions.
Secondly, Reiki can be very beneficial for concentration, for example before exams when some children can feel stressed or worried. Reiki will help them to calm down and relax both the mind and body for a general balanced well-being.
Reiki also has powerful benefits for teenagers. Reiki can provide relief for so many of the stresses and strains that an adolecent goes through. Reiki will ease the pressure whether it's:
- Feeling shy, nervous or anxious.
- Difficulty in being not understood, or not able to communicate properly.
- Period pains and hormones.
- Emotions such as feeling angry, sad or lonely.
- The pressure of sheer amounts of work.
- Bullying or people being unkind.
- Low self esteem and confidence
- Relationship issues.
Teacher Wellbeing
As a teacher myself, I can honestly say discovering Reiki was one of the best decisions I made. Reiki can assist you in preparing yourself for the day ahead and create a level of calmness and harmony in the classroom.
As you explore the Reiki techniques and the grounding meditations you will begin to notice how your own teaching might become enhanced. Reiki can be used to prepare yourself before the school day as well as at the end of a busy teaching day. Not only will you learn how to calm yourself outside of the classroom, you can also begin to use some of these techniques within your own classroom, right at that critical moment when you see your class becoming full of energy, and you feel like your starting to lose control.
Reiki can also help you to learn to take time for yourself, as teachers, we all feed off the energy of the classroom, and can get absorbed in the emotions of our students and colleagues, through learning the techniques of Reiki, you can learn to distance yourself from picking up on these negative energies and provide the full care and support your students need, without bringing their energy home with you.
