Starting point is 00:01:57 With more people going back to school, college and university, or even going to new schools for the first time, there can be a feeling of nervousness. This is totally natural and an experience we have all felt. And the aim of this recording is to reduce this nervousness as much as possible.
Starting point is 00:02:21 You'll realise that this is a shared experience and the recording will help you relax and help you realise why you have these feelings. This recording can also be used by students who have been at school for a while now and maybe perhaps are a little bit nervous about going to school the next day. I also have a similar episode
Starting point is 00:02:46 for people who are a little bit nervous about the upcoming week and the work week ahead. It's called Feel Good About the upcoming week. Don't stay up tonight worrying about tomorrow. I'll leave a link in the future. the show notes. This recordings for people over 18 in higher education. When I mentioned schooled in this recording, I'm talking about higher education as a catch-all. And let's begin in the state of self-meditation. You're not asleep or unconscious. You're aware of your surroundings. You can't
Starting point is 00:03:30 be forced to do anything that's against your will. Don't worry about outside sounds and distractions because you're soon able to relax completely and can use the outside sounds to deepen your trance. You're always in control and can accept or reject suggestions as you wish. Allow yourself to absorb the suggestions without evaluating or analyzing. Don't worry if your mind drifts off. because you'll still gain the benefits from the suggestions. When you find yourself focused on other thoughts, gently remind yourself to focus on my voice and the suggestions.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Don't worry about getting it or doing it right. Just allow yourself to feel comfortable and relaxed in the safe place where you are listening to this recording. Now take a deep breath in and if your eyes aren't closed already, please close them on the exhale. As you take a deep breath in again and relax, dropping your shoulders and detensing all the tight muscles in your body. Now imagine a call of your spine and travelling all the way to the centre of the earth. Really anchor that chord now into the center of the earth. Wrapping the ends around anything solid you find.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Expand to a size that's comfortable for you. And now release any stress. Tension, anxiety or negativity down that core. You can release any unfinished projects. Attention. Acknowledge any thoughts. that may come into your mind, release them down your grounding. Take another deep breath.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Help the breath for a couple of seconds and exhale through your mouth with a sigh. Relaxing even deeper, that relaxation feeling, flowing into your body as you inhale. The negativity disappears as you exhale. You can disappear through your body. breathing or it can disappear down this grounding call. You feel so tranquil, so calm and so relaxed. And with your third, once more fitting your lungs necessary to hear any outside sounds or anyone else's voice, now you can enjoy the comfort of drifting into a deep state of renaccation. If you really need to, you can wake up, but otherwise this time is for you now.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Just for you for all that tension to relax and detents out of your muscles. For all that stress to flow out of you and to feel calm and soothed from your head to your feet. process for you to be doing now and the most important place to be. Just allow yourself to let go and relax those muscles, relax those shoulders. And you begin to feel the wave of relaxation, flowing from the top of your head, over your forehead, and into your eyebrows. Be tensing all the muscles in your forehead and smoothing out all the lines. And this moves around your eyes.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Your eyes will come tiny little muscle relaxing around your eyes. So your eyelids just feel light and faint across your eyes. Feel yourself drifting deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper. relaxing more and more with this relaxation feeling moving across your nose and down into your cheeks the muscles melting down just like butter melting on a warm stove drifting deeper as the muscles around your mouth relax and that relaxation flows into your jaw and into your tongue may separate slightly as your jaw relaxes. And that's fine so you should
Starting point is 00:10:14 to flow from the top of your head down over the back of your head into your neck, into your shoulders like getting a nice massage around your ears and temples and down into your neck muscles and you even might move your neck a bit to feel that tension releasing. And as the muscles begin to blend and melt,
Starting point is 00:10:46 feel yourself drifting deeper and deeper with each easy breath you take as this meditation really relaxes you deeply inside your soul and inside your muscles. You don't need to listen to outside thoughts if you don't want to. You can go deeper and deeper relaxation flow from your neck
Starting point is 00:11:19 into your shoulders, removing all the tension, and your shoulders drop with a comfortable relaxation feeling of looseness and you allow the muscle to let go completely. Notice how much more relaxed
Starting point is 00:11:41 Even more is the flow across your shoulders and down your arms of your fingers as you relax and ease in deep. And as you relax you allow all the stress and tension to drain out more and more. And now that wave of relaxation comes back up to your shoulders and down your chest. into your stomach where you're breathing is deep and slow and all discomfort

A place where it's safe to express your feelings.

You're breathing, you visualize yourself being in a beautiful place. A special place. You just enjoy it. Be going to school, tomorrow or in the future. And you may feel a little nervous in these circumstances. But when we look back, we realise that it perhaps wasn't as much of a big thing that we realised.
Starting point is 00:18:11 It's so natural to have these feelings. And it goes back to when we were cavemen, adrenaline and nervousness, in new strange situations. Could have been a matter of life or famous those cavemen. so when we go into new situations we get nervous and stress to be okay it might be after a summer break or that it's just the weekend about going to school worried about school and what you might encounter there
Starting point is 00:19:19 or just because you are leaving home and leaving your love whatever it is you can fix that finding school enjoyable place to be single day. You to imagine that it is the end of a summer break or a weekend break, and you're back in your new classroom and school, with new tutors, teachers, and classmates.
Starting point is 00:20:07 You are really prepared, and you have everything that you need to have with you, your pencil and pens and books, and everything you need to make today a success. You're always going to be prepared from now on. You also have an air of self-confidence. You are full of self-esteem. You are going to your school.
Starting point is 00:20:40 The other person has a claim over your experience in school, and no one else can make you nervous, as this school is for you. It's here to help you, to nurture you. Today could be the start of the week or a new turn, but it can be a fresh start for you, as our past does not have to influence our future. As you go to school, you see the welcoming people friendly faces. You notice that there are people on their own, and this is a new experience for them as well.
Starting point is 00:21:33 You start speaking to them and putting them at ease, and you start to ask where they are from and what they are studying. And you put them at ease and start to talk about shared experiences, like pop culture or TV shows. You even talk about what they are going to expect from the new class. The conversation just flows effortlessly. But there are you can just talk to them calmly and the nerves go. Your nerves go.
