The Volcano Inside| Guided Visualisation experience for BIG FEELINGS + Self Regulation + Activity 🌋

🌋 The Volcano Inside – Guided Visualisation Experience + Self-Regulation Activity Pack

Big feelings don’t come from nowhere.

Sometimes anger is really disappointment. Sometimes frustration is worry. Sometimes jealousy is loneliness, and sometimes overwhelm is simply a sign that our minds and bodies need a break.

The Volcano Inside is a calming guided visualisation designed to help children aged 5–11 understand what is happening beneath their big feelings, before they reach the point of exploding.

Together, you’ll journey inside the volcano, discovering that every feeling has a story and that, with the right tools, we can cool our volcano before it erupts.

This experience includes:

🌋 A guided visualisation audio (approximately 12 minutes)

📄 A printable Volcano Reflection Activity Pack, helping children explore:

• What triggered their volcano?
• What people could see on the outside.
• What was really happening underneath.
• The feelings hidden beneath the anger.
• Healthy self-regulation strategies (“cooling crystals”) they can use next time.

This activity has been used hundreds of times in schools, Positive Vibe Tribe sessions and online wellbeing groups, helping children recognise that anger is often just the feeling we can see on the surface. By gently exploring what’s underneath, children begin to build emotional awareness, resilience and lifelong self-regulation skills.

Perfect for children who experience:
💛 Anger
💛 Frustration
💛 Jealousy
💛 Overwhelm
💛 Worry
💛 Anxiety
💛 Emotional outbursts
💛 Big feelings that are difficult to explain

Designed by Katrina Cameron, Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) and founder of Positive Vibe Tribe, this experience combines imagination, mindfulness and practical emotional learning to help children feel understood, supported and empowered.

Because every volcano can learn to cool… one calming crystal at a time. 💛🌋
