(no music) (ASMR) #8 Deep Sleep Whisper Hypnosis (Jason Newland)

Hello and welcome to me, me, JJ Nuland. This is, Let Me Bore You To Sleep, the ASMR whisper version, with your Sir Hello. I haven't done one of these for a while.

In fact, blimey, no, really, I've only done seven in the past. This is number eight. The last one was the 28th of October, 2022.

The first one was the 18th of August. Blimey, so yeah, so this is just, it's basically exactly the same as the Let Me Bore You To Sleep, except I'm trying not to wake Vinnie up. There's method in what I'm doing.

I was going to say method in the madness, but that rings a bit too true. Too close to the bone. So, basically, oh yes, did I say only listen when you can safely close your eyes? Okay, these are going to kind of, maybe I'm going to post these on the Deep Sleep Whisper Hypnosis podcast.

And I hope those of you that listen to our podcast are okay with this. Because, although it's not the same, it kind of is the same, but not, but is, but isn't, but is, you know, it's still my voice. Yeah, yeah, it's still is my voice.

However, I am just talking about different things. And it's still an opportunity to let go. Still a chance to allow yourself to relax.

You can enjoy the peacefulness of a little bit of quiet time. This is pretty quiet, I would say. Something I did yesterday is, I was looking for some positive news outlets online.

And I found ten. One of them was a YouTube channel, the other one was a podcast, but the rest seemed to be websites. And by good news, I don't mean religious, just positive, upbeat news stories from around the world.

So, basically, I'm just, I'm going to have a little look. Because I've done this before with an actual app, which had most of the newspapers available in my country, and some others in other countries, digitally. So I could look through the different newspapers.

And it was very difficult to find anything that was actually positive. Which, it didn't surprise me, but it was a little bit disappointing. Because I remember when I was younger, I used to read the newspapers, and there'd always be some funny stories.

And, not just funny stories, but there'd always be some humorous things, and there just doesn't seem to be anything. But I am generalizing. So I'm just looking.

The first one, what I'll do is I'll read you out the list of websites that I've found. The first one is called the Good News Network. It says here, an authority on positive journalism, founded in 1997.

The second one is the Optimist Daily, provides daily positive news. Today Good News. Ah, so this is part of a TV program.

A section of the Today Show's website dedicated to good news. And this Daily Good shares positive and uplifting news stories from around the world. Next is GoodNet, a media platform that promotes, spreads and amplifies the goodness in the world.

These are descriptions that I got on ChatGPT, TP, PT, TPP. And, so yeah, so this is, I asked them to search, so this is the descriptions they've given. Okay, 1,000 awesome things.

No, that's a blog, so I won't be looking at that. Mind you, I could, couldn't I? Yeah, so 1,000 things, a blog that counts the awesome things in life. Then Sunny Skies is another website, offers positive and inspiring news, pictures, videos and more.

There's two left, and there might be loads out there, but these are the ones that were offered to me. Positive News, the first media organization in the world dedicated to quality, independent reporting about what's going right. Isn't that similar to what they have up place over? Oh, the Good News Network, an authority on positive journalism, founded in 1937, no, 1997.

A nine and a three look very similar, when your eyesight is a bit winky wonky. Upworthy, Upworthy, this is the last one on the list. Shares positive, meaningful and inspiring stories.

So what I'm going to do is, I'm going to click on the first one and just have a look. Yeah, just have a look. I have already looked through a couple of them yesterday.

So let's have a look at the Good News Network, just briefly. So, I say she's got a few like sayings. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance, Confucius.

Okay, right. Some of these are, they're positive stories. But they're focused on quite horrible situations.

For example, a cat going missing for five weeks found safe. That's a lovely story, but there's the part of it, a cat going missing for five weeks that isn't so nice. You know what I mean, so I'd rather try and avoid those.

And anything medical, I'm just a bit squeamish about stuff like that. Boy stops at a random house to leave a pep talk on strangers doorbell cam. What? That's unusual.

It's a video though, so I can't really do that one. This is interesting. There's a mobile, a robot medic can roll into hazardous environments to provide medical treatment where doctors can't.

A new robotic medic could save lives in places where just humans aren't able to get to. Due to maybe the air condition or just the danger or whatever. But it says it can be controlled by human medics and they can use the robot's arm to check for a patient's temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, even give injections.

Be used for the next vaccine. The game changing technology could save lives. Wow, that's good, isn't it? Blimey.

Cool, right. Let's go back, wow it's taking time, the internet's very, very slow. Let's go back.

I want to see whether or not that is just a video or it's, oh no. A young boy was headed down a neighbourhood sidewalk when he made a stop at a random house with a doorbell camera to leave a positive message of encouragement for a stranger. The video's on YouTube, it doesn't identify the boy, okay.

But it's a picture of him so I'm sure a few thousand people will know who he is. He looks directly into the camera with an earnestness and wisdom seemingly beyond his years. Now that sounded like I made it up but that's what is actually written.

And this is what he said, he said, you matter, right? There's always going to be someone who cares about you. You're a good person, no matter what people say about you, you matter. I'm just trying to say something nice.

You matter man or girl, whoever you are. You matter to someone, just keep that in mind, don't forget it. That last sentence is quite powerful, isn't it? You matter, whoever you are.

You matter to someone, whoever you are, you matter to someone. Keep that in mind and don't forget it. Girl, you know some people say that, the bit where he says, you're a good person no matter what people say about you.

What are people saying about me? Who's saying stuff about me? That last sentence though, you matter to someone. Whoever you are, you matter to someone. Just keep that in mind, I like that.

Just don't ring on my doorbell, I don't like to be disturbed. So, what's next? This next sentence, this next one. I don't know, I'm judging this straight away.

I am, I'll be honest. It says, this is the headline. Miss England inspires, because that's like a beauty pageant.

Miss England inspires girls to be rocket scientists after graduating with aerospace engineering degree. It's weird, it's just, I don't know. I would think that girls, young girls or young boys or older boys and older girls or young men, young girls, women, whatever.

Should hopefully feel that anyway, that they can potentially be whatever they want to be. If they work hard enough and have the right attitude and aptitude. But saying that, you know, we're not all cut out to do everything.

I think that's also worth, you know, it's not a negative. I know that I, I don't think whatever I did, I don't think I'll ever be a mathematician. And no matter how badly I want to be a professional wrestler in the WWE, I still think of it as WWF.

It ain't gonna happen. But I think it's important. I just, someone when they're young or any age should be able to have aspirations, even if we don't succeed.

It's a beautiful journey. You know, it's, I've had aspirations of being successful doing this for the last 17 years. I've not been successful, but I still do it.

You know, it's, it's that, it's not always about the end result. I think it's, so much of it is the journey. It's good to have goals.

Goals. It's like the old saying, isn't it? If you don't, if you don't have a target, then you're unlikely to ever reach the target. If you're playing darts or you've got a bow and arrow and you, if you're not aiming at the bullseye, then the chance of hitting the bullseye is very, very, very unlikely.

But anyway, I should read the story. Crowned Miss England, Jessica Gaggan is on a mission to become an astronaut, just graduated. The 27 year old became the first ever redhead winner of the prestigious beauty pageant.

She's probably one of the oldest ones as well. They're usually quite young. Just pageants generally, usually in their early 20s, I think.

Late teens, early 20s. So, good for her. She studied at Liverpool.

And she now wants to use her degree and beauty queen title to inspire the next generation of female engineers. Here's another thing. I don't know, but maybe I'm wrong.

But I'd imagine that the main people interested in female beauty garlands or beauty contests would be potentially men. I'm not sure why women would want to, unless they're inspired to be a beauty queen. Maybe, I don't know, I don't really understand the whole thing.

I've never met anyone. No, actually I did when I was in Sea Cadets. I saw, used to have like the local beauty pageant person.

And they'd walk around, they'd ride the carnival and have a tiara on their head. And a thing across their body with Miss whatever. And I didn't really understand why anyone would want to do that.

I still don't, to be honest with you. I remember watching them on television. And it just, because they used to be on primetime telly, like Miss World, stuff like that.

Miss UK and then Miss Europe and then Miss World or Miss Commonwealth. I didn't watch it because there was a load of women in bikinis. That's the only reason I was watching it.

I was a child at the time. I wouldn't lower myself these days. I'll tell you why.

Because I don't televise it anymore. I don't get to watch it. Oh, this is cool.

So Jessica now spends a lot of time visiting schools up and down the country. Giving free talks about STEM subjects. Aimed to advertise them for the next generation.

That is really cool. I know I'm not joking around in that, but it's a pretty amazing person that she's giving her time. Especially at, it's still like a young age to be travelling around.

Trying to encourage young children to maybe follow their dreams. When she's kind of only at the beginning of following her own dreams. Like going into space and things like that.

So good luck to her. I'm just, it's something about, it's with boxing as well. They still have ring girls in a lot of the boxing that I see on television.

So if you don't know what ring girls are. It's not about their rings, it's about they go inside the ring. And they hold up a plaque, you know, for the next round.

Like round four, or round three, or I list every round. And then at times when the boxers are being announced, they'll stand there. And then when the results of the fight is being announced, they'll stand in the ring.

And there's like a gormless look on their face. A pretend smile. Yeah, like the mouth is smiling, but the eyes aren't quite often.

And they're wearing a bikini or something. I don't know, it just seems a little bit outdated. We should get men up there in thongs.

But then you could argue we have that all night long with the boxers. If it's a male, you know, boxing. You've got sweaty men with muscles for 90 minutes or 45 minutes.

So we're getting our men, not our men, but you know. Just, I don't know, there's that, there's something about that empty smile. Like, that I just struggle a little bit with.

Just, I kind of feel for them. I mean, they're doing it because they want to do it, but. Just, I don't know.

It's just something that I've never really understood. Like algebra. Your weekly horoscope.

No, go away. Sorry, I will not lower myself. Alongside or a boom or, okay.

Oh, here's a nice story. This is about Leslie Dart. Me neither.

Oh, are you thinking the same thing? Man or woman, don't know, don't care. Leslie could be either. So Leslie Dart has planted 372,290 trees across Canada over the past three summers.

And inspired so many others. A bit of a specific number, isn't it? Why not say 372,000 or over 370,000? But why the 290? It seems a little bit made up. No, I'm joking, I'm joking.

It's just. It's just. How do you keep track of the amount of trees? Before you say.

Or you count them. Before you say that. Mind you, over three summers.

So maybe he. He grew them himself in his garden. Like they call rootlings or.

You know, like little trees. Grew them from seeds. And then planted them.

I don't know. I used to have a friend who did that. He was a environmentalist.

This was back in 2005, about 2006. And I lived with him. Lived in the same house as him.

We weren't in a loving relationship. It was just housemates. I liked him as a friend.

Sometimes. And the reason I say sometimes is because he had a habit. Of recycling things that were not rubbish.

Honestly. He would just take stuff and. He put it in the back of my friend.

My other friend's car. Ready to take it to the recycling place. And would always have to stop and check the back of the car.

Before they drove off. To make sure he hadn't put any of our stuff in there. My friend's razor was in there.

I found my television. Like being in my bedroom, my television. He just laughed.

I said, how can that be recycling? If anything, it's the opposite of being an environmentalist. Surely part of being an environmentalist. Is using something.

As long as you can. While it still works. Instead of just buying a new thing.

To replace it. And getting rid of that. And he just continued laughing.

It was almost sometimes. He'd just have this look on his face like. He was the only one that knew.

That he'd just farted. And we were all about to smell it. It was that kind of knowing smile.

The grin. But he was cool. I liked him.

I found. A young woman. In Canada's.

Saskatchewan. Recently garnered 8.7 million views. On a tiktok video.

Of her planting. 4545. Trees.

In a single day. That is a huge amount of trees in a day. Especially for one person to do it.

Even if you bend over once. That's four. Can you imagine bending over.

Four and a half thousand times. Blimey. Mind you.

I think I'd just lay on the ground. And just roll around. And plant them.

I wouldn't bother getting up. I mean I would eventually. I wouldn't just stay there forever.

But. My back couldn't take the bending over. It just reminds me of my friend.

He used to do that. He used to just. Randomly plant trees.

We lived in the. We lived in the countryside. And it was about a 45 minute walk.

To town. But the first half an hour. Was down one road.

Which was. Kind of a. Very busy road. That led to the motorway.

But on either side was. The countryside. The fields and stuff like that.

So we'd be walking down the pavement. Towards. Making our way towards town.

And I'd be talking to him. And. I looked around and he wasn't there.

I was like oh not again. And suddenly. I'd see him jump out of the bushes.

And just planted another tree. I think. Although I didn't see him with a tree.

But he was very tall. He probably could just carry around. A normal length tree.

Under his arm and no one would notice. Very tall. A good hundred foot.

Tall. And. I'll never forget that smell.

Not that smell. No. Blimey I didn't mean that word.

That. I didn't mean to say that. I'll never forget his grin.

I remember. We were meditating. We used to go meditating.

At the local place that we meditated. And he was as I said he was very tall. And he had I think three cushions that he was sitting on.

And I was sitting next to him. I might have been on a chair. Because at that point I couldn't sit on cushions anymore.

I remember hearing a big bang like. He fell asleep and he fell asleep. And he fell off the cushions.

And he couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't stop laughing either. My laughing calmed down you know.

A little bit once I realized he wasn't injured. But he was we were laughing. And nobody opened their eyes.

Not one person that I could see. Everyone pretended to be deep in meditation. And not noticing.

When that's not what meditation is. You still hear what's going on around you. Still you can still sense if anything.

It magnifies what you can hear. What you can smell. And the air on your face.

And the feeling of your body. It's a mindfulness thing. You're more in touch with how you're feeling.

Your surroundings. Maybe don't bother you. But you're aware of them.

So someone yells loudly. And you start hearing them laughing hysterically. How can you not open your eyes.

But hey. I guess I was never very professional. I'm still not.

I wonder if he's still planting trees. Jumping in and out of bushes. He just used to disappear.

And suddenly he turned. Because he had such long legs. Those very bouncy legs.

It's almost like he had springs. On the ends of his feet. And he just bounced back.

Look around and just carry on walking. Like nothing has happened. I miss those days.

It's a long time ago now. I miss getting home from work. Going upstairs into my bedroom.

Checking that my stuff was still there. The past. Oh look.

The tree planting is simply a popular. Summer job for university students. That can nevertheless absorb some people.

With it's deeply meaningful monotony. That's a weird word to use. For sometimes 15 hours a day.

Leslie slams a spade into the ground. Leavers out the dirt. Drips in a seedling.

Tramps it down with her foot. And moves on to the next one. I tell you what.

You just got to be proper fit. Physically. Really physically fit.

To be doing that. In five and a half thousand. Four and a half thousand.

In one day. This is not just four and a half thousand. Times bending over.

It's four and a half thousand times. Digging into the ground. And pulling dirt out.

And then four and a half thousand times. Putting the dirt back in. And then four and a half thousand times.

Stomping down on the. On the ground. Which would probably be.

Maybe two or three times. So that's 15,000. Blimey.

This is good. That's cool isn't it. It's a nice story.

Just reminds me of my friend. I remember. I moved away from there.

And. The place I lived. I left my bike outside.

And I came home from work. And it was missing. And I thought.

Oh no he's back. But it wasn't him. That was actually stolen.

Dance away. This is interesting. I've never seen anything like this before.

Dance away your tears. With this grief disco kiosk. Fandango discotheque.

I'm guessing it's not. It's. From another country.

Just because that's that's not English is it. Fandango discotheque. I wonder what country.

French. Italian maybe. Moved.

By a. Samoan maybe. Moved by a desire to help people. With grief and angst.

And other stuff. Artist Annie Nicholson. Wanted to create a space.

Where the public. Can shake out grief. And unravel their.

Feelings. Emotions. She collaborated with the loss project.

K67 Berlin and street sound system. To realize this ambitious public. Art project.

So the kiosk. I'll describe it to you. It's pink.

And. Do you remember the fly. The movie the fly.

Where he transports himself. Into another kiosk. From one transporter to the other.

But a fly gets in. And then you know. But it reminds me of one of those.

But in pink. It looks. Fairly big actually.

But then I can't see how tall she is. But it looks quite roomy. I'd say probably.

It could probably fit in this room. But there wouldn't be much room around it. It'd have to be dismantled.

Because how would it get through the door. So it's the kiosk is a refurbished. K67 kiosk.

A modernist. Design gem. Associated with ad hoc.

Post. Soviet spaces. Chip stores.

Newspaper stands. Student cafes. And shelters.

Which evokes a legacy. Of European unity. And collaboration.

I can see that now. A newspaper stand. Yeah.

Yeah. So. As well as DJ sets.

There'll be meditation. And yoga workshops. I thought that you'd go inside the kiosk.

And dance. But it's not. It's.

Or is it? Okay. From what I understand is. You lead it from inside there.

Okay. But it's. The dance floor.

Has been a space of silence. And safety. As I have navigated the many great.

While. There is an overwhelming need. To shake out the grief physically.

Blah blah blah. Okay. They're talking about dancing now.

So it's gone over my head. I don't have the body for dancing. I have the body for eating pizza.

Okay. Let's see if there's anything else. Oh.

Stop it. Okay. Right.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

Here's one. A veterinary. Conference.

Turns into a free clinic. To care for the pets. Of Denver's homeless.

That's nice, isn't it? So this year's. Annual convention. For the American.

Veterinary. Medical Association. Has been turned.

Into a. Medical care drive. For the. Companion.

Animals. Of the homeless. In the Denver area.

So it's saying that. Having a dog. A companion animal.

Can be really healthy and healing. For somebody. But I clearly haven't met Vinnie.

Have they? He's fast asleep on the bed. Can you believe. My little boy.

He's got so much energy. And no matter what he does. During the day.

Whether he runs around. Or he sleeps. Whatever.

At night. Usually when he goes to bed. He's in bed for a good 10 to 12 hours.

Fast asleep. We went to bed at 10 o'clock last night. It's now 823 in the morning.

I woke up at four. Went back to bed for a couple of hours. But I woke up at four.

Fast asleep. Didn't get up. And he's still asleep now.

At half eight. Now I'm guessing. When I go in there.

In 10 minutes or whatever. Either he'll just stay asleep. Or he'll jump up excited.

In which case. I'll need to take him out. But sometimes.

You know I'll go back to bed. So I'll wake up at four. Maybe I'll go back at half five.

To sleep for a bit. I need to rest after being awake for an hour and a half. And he'll look up.

And he'll just say. Oh it's just you. It's you again.

And he'll just go back to sleep. I don't think he remembers though. When he wakes up.

Let's have a look. Wow this is interesting. A man takes a mirror selfie.

With the same barber. For 50 years. So he's sitting in a chair.

Non-stop for 50 years. Wow. No that's not what the story is.

So. Sam Farr has snapped a picture of himself. In a barber chair.

Every decade. Every decade. Since the 1970s.

So it's not every year. It's every decade. That changes it a bit doesn't it.

He's taken five pictures. Instead of 50 pictures. I thought maybe it was every year.

And while the camera model changes. Over time it's the same two good friends. A barber and his customer.

Just getting older together. So in 1973. The newspaper photographer.

Snapped a black and white selfie. With his stylish barber Joe Pace. So there's a picture of them on the left.

And there's a picture of him now on the right. The same barber 50 years later. I tell you what.

The barber. Looks amazing. 50 years.

And from the picture on the left. He looks like he's in his 20s. And now he must got to be in his 70s.

He really don't look it. Wow. Blimey.

I wonder if they'd say the age of them. 1973. So he took five pictures.

73. 1985. 2007.

2015. And 2023. So it wasn't every 10 years.

Was it really? But. I know I'm. Picking points.

But. I think it would have been cool. If he'd done it every year.

It doesn't say their ages. I'm just. Just.

Just interested. They both got to be. In their 70s.

I would say. Oh look. In each photo.

The barber smile gets bigger. And Sam has been sporting a new camera each time. And then.

He's 78. With an iPhone. So that's the.

Blimey. Oh. It's got some of the other pictures as well.

Mike. It's got all five now. That was.

That was cheeky. Very cheeky. The two pictures they showed to the beginning.

One was from 1973. But the other one. Was from 2015.

So it was an up to date one. So it does look like. It's older now.

It's eight years but. Still. Why would they show.

The first. You think they'd show the first and last wouldn't you. Just.

Just generally that would be the way to do it. That's the way to do it. Oh it's nice.

The other bloke Sam. He looks the same. He looks the same.

From 2015 to. Now. He pretty much looks the same from 2007 to now.

I was going to say he's got the same face but. I guess we all have haven't we. Really.

Blimey. It's nice isn't it. It's weird.

The. The hairdresser. Seems to look happier.

As the photos go. So the older he gets. The happier he looks.

In the last photograph. He looks really happy. That's nice.

Okay. I don't know if there's any other. There's loads of stories.

But. A fossil hunter finds a four foot long. Mammoth.

Tusk. Sitting in plain sight. I'll be honest if I saw a four foot mammoth tusk.

On the floor. Or. Or sticking out of the ground.

I might not go near it. Because it might be connected to a mammoth. It's the old saying isn't it.

If you come across. A giant's toenail. The giant won't be far away.

I don't know who says that. I guess I do but. Two in three teachers miss their classrooms during the summer.

Now I was never a teacher but. I never missed school. During the summer.

I loved holidays. Just. I think.

A week before we went back to school. You know like in September. It'd be time to go to the shops to.

Buy new clothes. New trousers and. Shirts and stuff for school.

Because we'd all generally grown. And. I remember.

My dad saying why. Your brothers. No one likes.

Clothes shopping. Why are you smiling. None of us want to go.

Do this but you're smiling. And I said look. I'm still smiling.

From the day. That we broke up for holidays. I'm still smiling from that.

I haven't stopped. And he said it is. It's weird that you need to tell me that.

Because I do not spend six weeks with you. And I hadn't noticed. I said maybe you need to meditate.

None of that happened. I don't know why I said it. All his training days.

Slackliner wins. Women. Okay.

That's it really. The monkey was horrible. Just have a look.

See what. If it's anything that jumps out at me. Blimey.

The world's largest 3D. Printed building. Is a horse barn.

That can endure Florida. Bad weather. Wow.

I've seen these. I don't know if it was on telly. It was a documentary on YouTube.

Building houses. With 3D machines. Printing houses.

And. They go in 24 hours a day. And there was about.

It was quite a few houses being built. At the same time. And it was just a couple of people.

Keeping an eye on the machines. That was it. No bricklayers.

No anything. It just was being done. I was.

Very very. Very amazing to watch. I'm not really into.

Houses and building and stuff. Necessarily. But that's something I. Definitely like to see.

With my own eyes. Just to see something like that. In action.

Especially. From start to finish. Because.

It takes about two days. Or something to build. I might have exaggerated that.

But. Who's ever going to know. It takes two hours.

It literally. Is instantly done. So there.

So I'm going to go. Well well well well well well well. Yeah I'm going to go.

So. Please remember to be kind to yourself. Because you deserve to be happy.

Take care. And I shall speak to you very soon. Lots of love.

Bye.
