***360 Image – Northern Lights Above Glacier*** - Experience the natural beauty of the aurora borealis and relax into the swirling rays of blues, greens, and pinks. Some example questions are: What specific image elements (e.g., colors, scenery, movement) contribute to your sense of calm or relaxation? How does the image compare to other emotional regulation techniques, such as listening to music or practicing mindfulness?

***Sensory Room Light Explorable Scene*** - Take a step back and observe the different elements in the light sensory room. Refocus students by asking them questions about what they can see and how the lighting in the sensory room makes them feel. Did they notice any changes in their mood or concentration afterward? How can they use the insights from this experience to create a more focused and calmer learning environment?

***Musical Focus – Time Tunnel Video*** - End your sensory well-being exploration with this musical time tunnel. Students can describe changes in their focus or mood as they move through the different musical segments. Which part of the time tunnel had the most calming or energizing effect? Encourage them to reflect on the entire experience and what new insights they might have gained about their emotional well-being.
