With the 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.

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 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 show notes. This recordings for people over 18 in higher education. When I mentioned school 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 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 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. 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.

And if your eyes aren't closed already, please close them on the exhale. Breath in again, dropping your shoulders. and detensing all the tight muscles in your body. Now, I'm sorry, to the center of the earth. Really, into the center of the earth. Wrapping the ends around anything solid you find. Expand to a size that's comfortable for you. Tension, anxiety or negativity down that core.

You can release any unfinished projects. attention, privilege any thoughts that may come into your mind, relaxing even deeper. That relaxation feeling, flowing into your body as you inhale. Activity disappears, as you ex- You can disappear through your breathing. Can disappear down this grounding core. You feel so tranquil, so calm and so relaxed, and with your third, once more fitting, your lungs. One else's voice is for you now.

Just for you, flow out. Just allow yourself to let go and relax those muscles. Relax those shoulders. Relax of your head. And you begin to feel the wave of sensation flowing from the top of your head, over your forehead, and into your eyebrows. Tensing all the muscles in your forehead and smoothing out. This moves around your eyes.

Tiny little muscle relaxing around your eyes. So your eyelids just feel light. Feel yourself drifting. 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 to flow from the top of your head and over the back of your head, into your neck, into your shoulders, like getting a nice massage around your ears and temples. and temples and down into your neck muscles, and you even might move your neck a bit, releasing. And as the muscles begin to blend and melt, feel yourself drifting deeper and deeper with each easy breath you take. Meditation really relaxes you 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 into your shoulders, removing all the tension and your shoulders

drop with a comfortable relaxation feeling of looseness and you allow the muscle even more. The flow across your shoulders and down your arms are the relaxation, moving into each and every muscle. Nerve and the muscles into your fingertips of your fingers as you relax and let go. Relax more with each easy, deep breath that you take. And as you relax, you allow all the stress and tension to drain out more and more. Now that wave of relaxation comes back up to your shoulders and down your chest, into your stomach where your breathing is deep and slow, and all discomfort and disorder goes from your body and your mind clears.

That wave of relaxation flows around your waist now and into your hips, all those muscles melting, as you allow yourself to relax. You may feel a pleasant tingling now as the feeling moves. And your ankles and your toes, and all pain and tension goes. And you feel a lovely feeling from the top of your head, flowing down all the way through your entire body. Fixion spreads, your knees, your calves, The feeling of relaxation goes from the very tips of your toes.

In a complete state of relaxation, as you enter your own private haven, a beautiful place of peace, comfort and tranquility. A place where you are deeply relaxed. A place where it's safe to feel all your feelings. A place where it's safe to express your feelings. A place where you are relaxed and at peace and you allow your subconscious mind to fully open as a flower opens to the rays of the sun. It is good and deep and snow. You visualize yourself being in a beautiful place. A special place. You just enjoy it too.

Because you may be going to school, tomorrow or in the future, may feel a little nervous. The first want to know that everyone feels 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. It's so natural to have these feelings. It goes back to when we were cavemen situations with those cavemen. So when we go into new situations, we get nervous and stress. be a little worried about the summer break, or that it's just the weekend about going to school. Maybe worried about school and counter there, or just because you are leaving home your loved one.

Whatever it is, and fix that will change. 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. 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, the person, has a claim over your experience in school

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 term, 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. You start speaking to them and putting them at ease, and you start to ask where they are from, and what do they are studying, 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.

Conversation just flows effortlessly, but you can just talk to them calmly, and the nerves go. Your nerves go. You feel so at peace and confident, great and self-assured, whilst being yourself at all times. you love this feeling to be like this as often as you can because being yourself and confident with who you are is really a good thing

and you go into the room and sit down the teacher tells you what is going to be happening and welcomes you to the day and what will be upcoming in the days to come breaks to chat to your classmates and get to know each other. Everything is calm and you enjoy the calm

and even a little bit of excitement of the day. Most people are nice and friendly. And maybe there are a couple of people who seem a little bit overconfident. But there always are. People want to hear what you have to say. After this you have a new class where you do some work.

You're excited and eager to hear new ideas and thoughts and think the class is incredible and can't wait for it again. You feel that you need to be challenged and it makes you so happy. You're to concentrate fully on the class and you know you have plenty of time to learn before any exams or tests.

You're really good. going to Troy hard at the beginning of the semester all term so that you are really prepared for the work later in the year. The more you attend classes, your schools and grades increase. You may have dreams to move further into different educational fields in your chosen subject, and you have the confidence to study and revise to achieve your goals. You will look forward to going to school more and more. This will be a place where you learn. Make great friends.

We even find love. Many people who are older in life sometimes realize they would love to go back to this time even though that might not feel like this now. If you are in higher educational university, this is the time when you can live independently and free. Call us over, you feel that you can go home and think about the friendships you are building and how much new knowledge you have absorbed. You have become like a sponge, information and knowledge.

Flows you look forward to school the next day and the day after. and you realize how much you are enjoying it. School is something really to look forward to. You feel confident serene and ready to be great every school day. This is an exciting new adventure for you. Everyone is eager to get to know you and you are eager to get to know them

and you love going to class. You enjoy studying at night with your studies, so you have no reason to be nervous, behind on them. Nervousness is now behind you, and you can just experience serene.
