introduction
“Sparks of Emotions,” focuses on how emotions arise and change in response to various factors, including one’s body state, personal experiences, and circumstances. It uses the metaphor of a spark and a forest fire to illustrate how emotions can begin and intensify, emphasizing that awareness can prevent them from becoming overwhelming. This learning experience highlights that different people react uniquely to the same situation based on their personal histories and current state. The emergence of emotions can escalate depending on various factors, and students practice becoming aware of their nervous system to better notice “sparks” and develop skills for containing harmful or elevating healthy emotions.
