Psychology: Meditation and Hypnosis Activity

As students learn about altered states of consciousness, this lesson will allow them to experience what that really feels like. For many students this will be the closest they have ever come to true meditation. You will walk them through a systematic body scan relaxation activity, then read them the guided visualization script. This is a common script I used with my classes and my own kids, but I also vary the script in many ways each time. This resource includes lesson plan with learning targets and essential questions, a mini-lesson on the biology behind meditation and hypnosis, directions for the body scan, and a script for the guided visualization. It also includes a summative written reflection for the students. (This lesson is my personal favorite!)

This lesson makes it easy for you to engage students in supplemental activities that go beyond the textbook or PowerPoint notes. Each lesson is built with best practice instructional strategies, proven to work with students of all levels.

Satisfied customers have stated:

• "My students LOVED this! I put out blankets before class and they all laid on the floor and relaxed. They keep asking every day they come in if we can do it again. :)
• "Kids loved this in my psych class--the ones who have me for history now still talk about it and ask me to play a meditation any time we finish up class a few minutes early"
• "Excellent self-guided meditation - students can lead family members through it and then ask for their feedback"

All lessons include a detailed lesson plan with learning targets and essential questions, clear directions, links where appropriate, ready-to-copy interactive pages, bellringers, and formative assessment exit tickets. Resources require minimal preparation ahead of time, though this varies by lesson. I've also started including separate pdf pages and images of the lesson so it can be more flexible and easily assigned in a digital classroom. Many of the pages of the pdf are also included as individual PowerPoint pages that the students can type right on, save, and submit to your LMS.
