| Emotional Literacy is what most of us want for ourselves and our children. It is elusive and it is difficult to sustain. The Coalition supports parents, schools and businesses to accomplish the elusive through education and trainings that empower, validate and nurture emotional literacy skills.
CEL's Emotional Literacy Methodology is a simple and unique stretch, breath and awareness routine that connects the body, mind and emotions in a few minutes. The routine refreshes the whole person at work or in school, enabling them to experience relaxed alertness. No special clothing, equipment or locations are needed. The methodology is specifically for the school room and/or workplace. Research indicates that students become more on-task and staff become more productive and all are happier campers. |

| Observing the chatter |
The measurable effect of these exercises is to harmonize all brain hemispheres, altering brain chemistry, and safely and simply inducing the receptive mode in the mind's awareness. This open-reflective state is very robust, and once learned can be maintained throughout all of daily life by the practitioner, with brief pauses at times of stress to perform the practice and renew the state. CEL participants experience how stress obscures balanced physiological-neurological-cognitive functions because they know (a) how it feels to be free of stress, and (b) how to dissipate stress. This is an extraordinary skill.

CEL's Methodology accomplishes many things:
- Calming the mind teaches focus
- Relaxing the body through physical distractions teaches perseverance
- Observing the body/mind "chatter" teaches "staying put"
- "Staying put" teaches on-task attitudes and behaviors
- Letting go of whatever arises while staying put teaches "I can live without____"
- Letting go anchors self-corrective behaviors that stick
- Letting go builds character, intelligence and personality
- Character-building hones teamwork skills and collaborative abilities
- Brain synergy resulting from the above accelerates:
- Left/right brain intelligences
- Motivation
- Life and career-readiness skills and healthful living habits
