Internalised Power


What’s happening?

The classroom is calm. The glow is small. The mentor is beside him, not controlling him.


Teacher Script: “Look closely. The glow is smaller now.” “That means he doesn’t need big power anymore. It’s inside him.”

“The Emerald Guardian is still there — but now it’s more like a reminder, not a rescue.”

“Real power is staying in control.”

-- Ask:

  • Whereis his power now?

  • Do you need a superhero to stay calm?

  • Whatis your real power?


Skill:

Identity shift — “l am capable”


CLOSING REFLECTION

Teacher says:

“Everyone here has a glow. Sometimes it flickers. Sometimes it’s steady. Our job isn’t to never flicker. Our job is to notice it— and steady it.”
