Chi 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 ‘Chi
for Life’
Encouraging children to look after their emotional and physical
well-being by learning a series of simple flowing exercises as practiced
by the Chinese with great health benefits over many centuries. Practices
include relaxation methods, deepening the breath and relating Tai-chi
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 Chi 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.’
