00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:06.480
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason

2
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:11.800
new Land. Please only listen when you can safely close

3
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:16.879
your eyes. This is going to be a body scin

4
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:23.120
so I'd like you just to get yourself comfortable, sitting

5
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:28.440
down in a chair that supports your body or lying

6
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.799
down on a flat, comfortable surface. There really isn't anything

7
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:48.119
for you to do. Just listen to my voice. You

8
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.039
can close your eyes if you want to, where you

9
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:58.600
can lead them open. I'm going to ask you whether

10
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.119
your eyes are open or closed. Is just to look up.

11
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.760
So of course, if they're open, look up, maybe without

12
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.439
moving your head, looking up towards the ceiling. If your

13
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.519
eyes are closed, still do the same thing, moving your

14
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:29.760
eyeballs upwards, just gently. You're not straining, just gently pointed upwards.

15
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:48.599
And notice how that relaxes your eyes. You may feel

16
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.480
the need to just let your eyes go back to

17
00:01:50.519 --> 00:02:10.639
how they were, which relaxes your eyes even more. Notice

18
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:18.680
in any sounds around, maybe you can hear stuff. On

19
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:25.120
my side. It's quite windy outside. Vinnie's on the floor

20
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:34.240
playing around, so you may hear him, or you may

21
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:41.080
have sounds where you are, and it doesn't need to

22
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:50.479
be silent, because this is just a relaxation session. It's

23
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:56.759
just an opportunity to take a few minutes break from

24
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:05.800
the day and allow yourself to just sink into that

25
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:14.400
natural comfort that we all carry within us, because we

26
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:21.719
were all born with the ability to relax easily and naturally.

27
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.919
Just look at a baby, how easily a baby just

28
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:49.879
falls asleep or feels relaxed. Noticing your face, the skin

29
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.879
on your face. Maybe you can even feel a slight

30
00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:18.040
breeze on your skin, noticing your jaw, h your mouth.

31
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:34.560
Perhaps you can hear the birds singing or Vinny bunching away.

32
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.839
If you still got your eyes open, maybe you can

33
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:52.800
see what's around you. Perhaps you can even notice the

34
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:59.319
temperature on your hands as well as your face, and

35
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:05.480
maybe you're if you've got a short sleeved t shirt on,

36
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:13.319
maybe you can feel that temperature on your arms. I

37
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.160
was going to say, if you've got shorts on, you

38
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.000
could perhaps feel it on your legs, But I realize

39
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:30.319
I'm then moving into going through lots of different wardrobe potentials.

40
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.519
There's no idea for me to know what you're wearing.

41
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.399
You might be dressed as an astronaut. I don't know who.

42
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:53.480
Theres no way of knowing, although that would be kind

43
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.480
of strange, I guess unless you are actually an astronaut

44
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:07.000
deciding to relax. I think I'd need some relaxation after

45
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:18.040
traveling through space. Probably need a nice meal as well.

46
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.720
And as you scan your body, just go through your body.

47
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:36.160
Notice in the different parts of your body, like your hands,

48
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:48.920
your feet, your elbows and your knees, your legs, your arms,

49
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:58.560
your lower back and your stomach, the middle of your back,

50
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:11.199
your ribs, your upper back and your chest, your shoulders,

51
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.360
the back of your neck, and maybe all the way

52
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:28.600
down your spine. Sometimes it's worth just moving your body

53
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:35.040
slightly in order to get more in touch with how

54
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:50.759
that particular part feels, more relaxed, and noticing how your

55
00:07:50.800 --> 00:08:00.199
mind is. How does your mind feel? Is there lot

56
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:08.000
of activity or is it now starting to quiet down?

57
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.639
Or are you struggling to get your the idea of

58
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:19.120
an astronaut sitting in a chair listening to this recording

59
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:31.399
out of your head. Maybe it's tickled your funny bone.

60
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:39.759
Where is the funny bone? Because when I was growing up,

61
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.919
placed to hit you like bang my elbow and they go,

62
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.600
oh you just you just bashed your funny bone. Well,

63
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.799
there's nothing funny about it because it hurt. Why is

64
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.639
that funny? She said, Well, look around, everyone's laughing. I said,

65
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.039
but I'm not laughing. They said, yeah, it's not funny

66
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:12.039
for you. Enough, that was a teacher. So as your

67
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:21.960
mind slowed down, how does your mouth feel, your tongue,

68
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:30.559
your teeth, your gums, a chin. Maybe just open your

69
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:36.480
mouth a little bit, not like really wide. I could

70
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:46.759
try to eat a massive burger or a huge subway sandwich,

71
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:56.320
or maybe three sausage rolls or squashed on top of

72
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.240
each other. I think I need to eat. I think

73
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:13.559
I'm a bit hungry. Keep thinking of food. The astronauts

74
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.799
now turned into an icing astronaut that you perhaps would

75
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:28.840
get on top of a cake. Now thinking about cake. Yeah,

76
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:41.120
I'm a little bit hungry. But it's something nice about relaxing.

77
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:48.080
You're taking a break from taking things seriously. I do

78
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.559
realize life has a lot of serious stuff, but I

79
00:10:54.600 --> 00:11:03.759
think it's necessary, like super important, imperative. I haven't used

80
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:10.159
the word imperative before that we all take time out

81
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.200
from life, from anything that's going on, just take a

82
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:22.559
step back. I don't know why I've never used imperative.

83
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:33.039
This is never popped up in a conversation. There's a

84
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.080
lot of words like that that I don't use that

85
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:42.720
I do know. I feel quite basic person, use very

86
00:11:42.840 --> 00:12:00.320
basic language when I talk. Yeah, I think it's very

87
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:06.039
important though, that all of us can take a step back,

88
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.039
and it doesn't have to be a step back and

89
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.200
be a step to the side. It doesn't even literally

90
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.799
need to be a step I mean, don't actually have

91
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:25.519
to physically step back, but in your mind, almost removing

92
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:37.879
yourself from all that stuff, whatever that stuff is, and

93
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:50.080
sometimes even allowing that those thoughts and those concerns, maybe worries,

94
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:56.960
to just quiet and down, even for just five minutes,

95
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:08.840
can really have a positive effect. You don't necessarily have

96
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:13.480
to think about astronauts made of icing. Listening to this recording,

97
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:23.399
just wondering, can you get a different flavored icing, because

98
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.519
I've seen a lot of cakes. I've eaten quite a

99
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.080
few cakes, and I've been to a few weddings and stuff.

100
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.080
The ic in I suppose you, but I'm just thinking

101
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.200
of the iced figures. They always seem to be kind

102
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.120
of made of the same kind of flavor. I never

103
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:50.600
had a mint one or banana flavored one. I don't

104
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.919
think I've even had banana flavored ice in just normal

105
00:13:54.080 --> 00:14:05.000
icin that covers a cake. Hm hm. And some I

106
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:12.679
might think, well, that's all very well, but why are

107
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:20.679
you talking about cakes and banana flavored icing. Well, the

108
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:25.720
reason for that is that's just where my mind went.

109
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:36.159
But also that's kind of part of taking a break,

110
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:45.320
a step back, a short mini holiday from reality. I

111
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:52.480
guess there's nothing wrong with reality. There's also equally nothing

112
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:59.159
wrong with stepping back just for five minutes or ten minutes,

113
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:13.519
give yourself time to regenerate, because sometimes just a small

114
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:23.679
amount of relaxation really can make a difference, just in

115
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:27.840
the same way as on a really really hot day,

116
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:37.720
taking a cold shower can really cool you down. Works

117
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.399
even better when it's cold on a cold day as well,

118
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:45.639
but probably not want to do that, or springing cold

119
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:52.639
water on your face on a really warm day. I

120
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.279
remember early eighties and it was so hot outside, and

121
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:04.000
I was with my two brothers and we were basically

122
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:08.679
filling our waters water bottles up and squirting them at

123
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.399
each other, squatting water over at each other, and the

124
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:26.279
wall was drying instantly, and some people might think, well,

125
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:32.000
that's a suppose. It's a fairly pleasant story, and it

126
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:36.720
does kind of fit together with you talking about splashing

127
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.320
water on yourself and maybe cooling down on a hot day,

128
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.679
taking a break from you know, the reality of the

129
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:50.919
heat and taking a step back. I guess in a way,

130
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.440
but what's that got to do with this recording? What's

131
00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:01.120
they got to do with a body scan? And I

132
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.679
suppose my answer to that would be I'm not sure.

133
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.559
I guess there's lots of different ways of doing a

134
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.920
body scan. You can focus on each part of your

135
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:18.680
body without trying to cause each part of your body

136
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:26.599
to relax deeply. Alternatively, you can focus on different parts

137
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:34.119
of your body with the expectation that each individual part

138
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:43.799
of your body will relax even further. And there's other

139
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:47.359
ways where you can do a body scan where you

140
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.440
could focus on instead of going from your head down

141
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:57.440
to your toes, you could focus randomly, but on your

142
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:01.119
own body days and different parts of your body. I mean,

143
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.279
you focus on other people's parts of their body, but

144
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.960
that would be I'm not sure how that would work.

145
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:11.519
It might work well, especially if you focus on someone

146
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:17.599
that's relaxed, someone that you know that's really a relaxed person.

147
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.599
You can just imagine how their back feels, or how

148
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:28.279
their shoulders feel, how their stomach feels, how relaxed their

149
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:32.920
mind feels, which could also cause you to feel relaxed.

150
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:46.559
Just notice how you feel now compared to how you

151
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:56.720
felt before you started listening to this recording, before you

152
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:09.119
started listening to my squeaky and that brings me to

153
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:13.559
the end of the recording. I need to go and

154
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:17.680
get some food, so thank you for listening. Remember to

155
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.799
be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be

156
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:27.720
happy and be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

157
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:33.039
Lots of love, Bye,
