ITQS is a spiritual educational approach that promotes the use of inner quiet as a coping skill.
At the beginning of the century a team of therapists and educators began looking for alternative conceptual and practical ways for dealing with the high levels of violence in Israel's educational system. This innovative ITQS program is the fruit of their combined efforts, and has since been applied in various educational, health, therapeutic and community frameworks.
The approach is based on the creation of a profound experiential sense of trust, care and quiet in the ITQS room, a special environment the team creates in places such as kindergartens, schools, hospitals, homes and places of work. In this calming sensory space, many feel genuine respect, acceptance and security for the first time. Here a unique coping skill is taught.
MicroCalming, a conditioned calming technique developed by ITQS, is a form of associative learning. A person learns to systematically connect a gentle verbal clue with the positive physical and emotional state experienced in the ITQS room. Practiced over a relatively short time, calming becomes conditioned, enabling a person to reconnect to inner quiet whenever and wherever he or she is, to access inner resources and to cope well with the situation at hand.
