Wiggling Body Scan
00:00:22.824 –> 00:00:23.608
Hi there!
00:00:23.623 –> 00:00:25.448
Welcome to our Calming corner.
00:00:25.823 –> 00:00:26.646
Today
00:00:26.710 –> 00:00:28.123
we’re going to learn
how to check
00:00:28.163 –> 00:00:29.709
each part of our body
00:00:29.818 –> 00:00:32.458
to see if it is worried or relaxed.
00:00:33.015 –> 00:00:35.460
This helps us learn
how our body feels.
00:00:36.214 –> 00:00:38.305
Let’s see how we’re feeling today.
00:00:43.838 –> 00:00:45.763
Sit where
your teacher tells you,
00:00:45.790 –> 00:00:47.615
in your seat or on the floor.
00:00:51.141 –> 00:00:52.482
Let’s start.
00:00:52.666 –> 00:00:54.649
Think about your belly.
00:00:54.821 –> 00:00:57.288
Take a big breath
that pushes out your belly.
00:00:59.358 –> 00:01:00.678
Let your air out.
00:01:04.104 –> 00:01:05.315
Big breath in
00:01:08.123 –> 00:01:09.540
and breathe out.
00:01:12.542 –> 00:01:14.177
Think about your toes.
00:01:14.495 –> 00:01:15.969
Wiggle them around.
00:01:17.327 –> 00:01:19.104
Squeeze them tight
00:01:19.492 –> 00:01:21.017
and relax them.
00:01:21.828 –> 00:01:23.438
Squeeze them tight again
00:01:24.071 –> 00:01:25.630
and relax them.
00:01:26.843 –> 00:01:28.632
Now think about your legs.
00:01:28.950 –> 00:01:30.799
Wiggle your legs.
00:01:32.485 –> 00:01:35.339
Wiggle and wiggle those legs.
00:01:36.202 –> 00:01:38.015
Next, make them feel heavy.
00:01:38.187 –> 00:01:40.969
Pretend they are filled
with heavy sand.
00:01:42.918 –> 00:01:45.061
Think about your hands and arms.
00:01:45.508 –> 00:01:47.869
Make them tight like a robot.
00:01:48.829 –> 00:01:50.981
Now make them loose and light.
00:01:51.480 –> 00:01:52.821
Shake them out.
00:01:55.947 –> 00:01:57.397
Can you touch your neck?
00:01:58.502 –> 00:02:00.194
Can you touch your shoulders?
00:02:01.174 –> 00:02:03.293
Great job!
You found them!
00:02:03.814 –> 00:02:06.017
Shrug your shoulders up
like you’re scared.
00:02:07.025 –> 00:02:08.826
Now relax them down.
00:02:10.511 –> 00:02:11.804
Stay sitting up
00:02:11.831 –> 00:02:14.625
but make your whole body
loose and heavy
00:02:14.855 –> 00:02:15.654
your neck…
00:02:15.920 –> 00:02:16.937
shoulders…
00:02:17.276 –> 00:02:17.966
arms…
00:02:18.317 –> 00:02:19.104
legs…
00:02:19.168 –> 00:02:20.157
and feet.
00:02:21.298 –> 00:02:22.349
You did it!
00:02:26.202 –> 00:02:29.189
Anytime we pay attention
to our body like this
00:02:29.324 –> 00:02:31.441
we can feel more relaxed.
00:02:32.001 –> 00:02:34.370
We had so much fun
with you today!
00:02:34.664 –> 00:02:35.981
See you next time!
