Remembering her teacher’s calming technique, Maya closes her eyes to “smell the flower”\u2014taking a deep, slow breath in through her nose\u2014and “blow out the candle”\u2014exhaling slowly through pursed lips<\/span>. As her heartbeat slows and the dark cloud in her mind drifts away, Maya opens her eyes, gathers her fallen blocks with steady, calm hands, and realizes that self-regulation allows her to carry her own sunshine wherever she goes<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n
