When the group is wound too tight and things are too chaotic for the situation, push the reset button:

• Establish with the group that when you turn off the light everyone has to be silent until it is turned back on
• After a lesson on Prayer Techniques where you introduce “Breath Prayer” (for a minute,every time you breath in you pray half of a one line two phrase such as “Dear Lord, Give me strength” and when you breath out you pray the 2nd half). Call for a breath prayer when needing to calm things down.
• Have everyone get up and rearrange themselves where no one is next to either person they were next to before
