(Short voice) #21 Strange Techniques Let me bore your pain away Jason Newland 13th April 2025

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name's Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

And this is Let Me Bore Your Pain Away. No, not another one. Yeah, another one.

So for those that do not know what this is, maybe people have only listened to Let Me Bore You To Sleep recordings I do. Blimey, how long I've been doing those for? Since 2018. 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25.

Seven years, man. So yeah, Let Me Bore You To Sleep is seven years old. Over seven years old now.

This is the, like a sibling, or maybe the child, maybe a love child of the Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast. And this is Let Me Bore Your Pain Away. I've done, I've not done a huge amount of these recordings.

Let me have a look at the podcast. 20 I think. 20 different ones.

Let Me Bore Your Pain Away. Yeah, this is number 21. So basically, all I do is I just chat.

I kind of, I do focus on chronic pain and maybe some chronic pain relief techniques that I find, or that I already know about. Always, always researching, always looking for stuff, me. So how this works is, there's a degree of relaxation connected to me, just rabbiting on.

So this is not a therapy session. This is not a replacement for any kind of therapy at all. I also need you to have permission from your doctor before you listen to this.

And because you need to know the cause of your chronic pain, if that's the reason you're listening. You can listen to this even if you don't have any chronic pain issues, because it could be mildly relaxing, may even send you to sleep. It shouldn't do because I'm super exciting.

But it might do because I'm also apparently boring. I don't agree. But thousands of people do.

And millions of downloads seem to agree that I am boring. So I'm not, not, you know, you know, I'm pleased that people have listened to the recordings, but on the same side, I'd rather be interesting. But there you go.

I'd also like to be six foot six and slim. Can't have everything, can we? So what I do is I go through, I just talk about different techniques, maybe some of the things I've done in the past. I have been making chronic pain relief recordings, videos and mp3, you know, audios since 2006.

So it's 19 years, over 19 years, in fact. So it's not new for me. But at the same time, this is relatively a new way of presenting it.

Kind of. Although, although, although, although this isn't actually a really new podcast, because the very first recording I did for Let Me Pour Your Pain Away was the 18th of August 2022. So it's blimey.

That's a while back, isn't it? Vinnie, Vinnie's my little Jack Russell baby in the background, and he's fidgeting on the settee. He likes to be involved. He really does.

I'll just give you an example, an example of some of the recordings I've done over the years, literally over the years, blimey, for the Let Me Pour Your Pain Away. So that someone like jigsaw, jigsaw pieces, that's a good one. Number four, that's number three, four, the brain has no pain.

Five, danger signals. And that was October 2022. Lower back, which is number seven.

Eight, relaxing is natural. Nine, focus. Number 10, pain dial technique.

Number 11, okay, there's no, sometimes I just put the number, sometimes I give a name, depends if I've, if I have focused on a particular thing, then I will perhaps give it a name. And number 13, the power of relaxation. That was 2025.

Number, nope, no names. Oh, number 16 is just called safe. That was 19th of March last, last month.

And then frozen shoulder, number 17. And no other names, just the numbers 18, 19. The last one I did was number 20, which was head and face pain.

So yeah, sometimes I focus on a part of the body. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes it's just something that you can generally use for any part of your body.

And even when I focus on one part of the body, you could still use it for other parts. You may find this useful. And that's all this is.

It's supposed to be useful. If it's not useful, don't listen. It's really that, it's that simple.

I want this to be I want this to be useful. It's not really entertainment. It's a little bit of entertainment, but I like to think that actually, it's worthwhile.

And that you're listening because there's benefit to you. That was serious, wasn't it? I don't like to get serious. But yeah, it's just genuinely I'm trying to help, to be fair.

And even the thing is, I was gonna say even, even if you just feel more relaxed. Ice cream van in the background. I'm not distracted easily, am I? I'm going to get I'm going to get Vinnie an ice cream in the summer, when it when we're out and an ice cream van comes up.

And I happen to have money on me, which I never do, because I don't take my wallet out with me. But if, if, for instance, I've been to the shop, and I've got my wallet on me. They take debit cards now don't they? Because I don't have any cash.

I haven't had cash for years. That's one of the downsides of ordering a pizza. I don't order takeout very often, but I used to like to get Domino's pizza every now and then.

So I'd phone them up because the app doesn't work. In my area, they don't deliver here, which means I can't get the discounts. But I'll phone them up, and they'll deliver it here.

Fine, I'll pay for it on the phone. The problem is, I can't give them a tip because I've got no cash. And I feel bad about that, because I'd like to, you know, it might only be 20 pence or two, two and a half pence or whatever, but it's something, isn't it? It's the, you know, I figured that over 10 years, I'd have given at least two pound in tips to them.

And I imagine they're grateful for that. But on the apps, you can leave a tip, but they don't, I can't use, it's weird, isn't it? They deliver, but they won't actually allow me to order online. It's like Iceland.

If I want to get a delivery sent by Iceland to supermarket, I actually have to go into town, which is about 40 minutes on a bus, or two hours walk, two and a half hours walk, and order it. They pack it into crates, and then they deliver it to me. It wouldn't be so bad if they gave me a lift home with them, but they don't do that.

We're not a taxi service, he said to me, on more than one occasion. So it kind of defeats the object of getting a delivery if you kind of got to go out and buy it from the shop. It doesn't, I mean, it's still good to be able to get delivery, to be fair.

Because otherwise, especially this one, because there's no, there's nowhere to park a car or taxi. So because I don't drive, so I have to get a taxi. But then that's going to cost me, what's, blimey, to town, about £15, I think.

Yeah, probably about £15 to get to town, or to get back from town to where I live. So the amount of money I've, well I haven't saved have I? But it's expensive. That's why I just get deliveries on, by Sainsbury's or Tesco or however those companies, you know.

I can get a delivery on Uber Eats though, from Iceland, ironically. But I can't get an actual delivery. But then with Uber Eats, I'm not going to order £100 worth of food, because it's just, they don't like big delivery Uber Eats.

I think they prefer like maybe a bag or two. They don't, they don't want to deliver a whole month's worth of shopping. I'm not making out I could get a month's worth of shopping for £100.

Maybe 45 years ago I could, but not, not these days. So what I ask is, just notice what you're, the part of your body that has been feeling discomfort up till now. You know, maybe the reason you're listening to the recording.

So I'm going to use the word chronic pain for the last time now, and I won't use it again at all during this recording. Unless of course I do. Hopefully I won't if I remember.

So please, can you just give that a gauge from zero to 10? Zero being and 10 being. Oh, I mean, okay, that's not a good example of PAIN. But you know, the the top level if it's hopefully it's not the top level.

But wherever, wherever it is on that scale, and maybe it's possible that it might have gone down just in these 10 minutes of me waffling on about deliveries and stuff like that. That's totally irrelevant. Maybe because I might actually just be talking complete nonsense.

Or, or I might be some kind of hypnotic genius using super sophisticated psychological techniques that I've developed in my laboratory. And no one else knows about it. And it just sounds like mundane stuff.

But actually, embedded in that all that wording and all that stuff is Miko, like sending some kind of special energy to you so that your body relaxes, and your mind calms down, slows down, and your body changes how it feels. And you don't even know why it does it. Why would you care either? Or it just me just is just me just talking rubbish.

It could be I'm kind of edging towards the rubbish one, the just talking absolute nonsense. But it's fine. Because is it useful? So come back to that.

So if you give that scale zero to 10, where it is now at the end, I will ask you again to gauge that. Okay. Okay.

And then you can see how it's changed. And it's not just during this recording, because afterwards, and the more often you listen, not just to this recording, but to all the different recordings I do, the more relaxed you may find yourself. Now, let me have a look.

While I was thinking today, I want to look through some wacky, unusual and relief techniques. Maybe something a bit surreal, a bit strange, a bit, ooh, you know, a bit. Hmm.

So I just found a few different ones. And so one's called the alien abduction technique. Okay, let's have a look at this.

What is this? Imagine a tiny, a tiny friendly, imagine tiny friendly aliens getting abducted. If I could read this, imagine tiny friendly aliens gently abducting your pain in their spaceship. Okay, that's interesting.

This is I've never heard of that technique before. Visualize a sensation of the physical discomfort that you currently had as glowing orbs. Allow little friendly alien, it's that, I'm not talking like that.

Little friendly aliens, allow little friendly, allow little friendly alien beings to gently lift these orbs onto their spaceship, where they can safely transport that feeling far away, never to return. So that's interesting. I suppose we've all seen it, haven't we, in movies where the space, space saucer or spacecraft hovers down.

And then kind of whatever's on the ground kind of rises up into the bottom of the spaceship, or the space UFO, saucer, craft, whatever. Yeah, should we try that? Just for fun. So this is the alien abduction technique.

By the way, if anyone is kind of can't believe I'm saying this, but if anyone has been abducted by aliens, spaceships and stuff, maybe and switch this off because it might not be mind you, if you had it done before, it might be easy to do. Which probably wasn't the right thing to say that it's, it's easy to visualize if it's already happened. Oh, dear.

No. Okay, I'm moving on. So I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do it myself because I've got I've got arthritis in my lower back, my left side.

It's a daily, daily thing, you know, but I'm going to focus on a spaceship. So first of all, really need to imagine that the that physical sensation is a glowing orb, a glowing orb. What color glowing orb? What color would you like? I mean, some people go for red because red is kind of like a a danger signal or danger color potentially, for some people, maybe it can be blue.

I mean, to be fair, if you've got a color for the orb, sounds weird saying the word orb. But that energy and you can imagine like a line drawn around that part of your body. And then just the physical sensations that you are about to remove can become a color.

And the weird thing about it is when you change the color, and then you change it again. And then you change it again, it changes how it feels. And when you change the shape, this isn't the technique for the alien abduction thing.

It's just something that you know, I know about. This is the first time I've seen the alien abduction thing. When you change the shape of it, the physical sensations can change.

Imagine it's like a like dough, you know, have you ever made bread? Have you seen bread made? You know, I don't mean like a big factory and stuff, but like actual handmade bread. Kneaded, you know, when the person's kneading the bread with their hands on the flour, the dough. And the thing about it is you can pretty much make any shape you want.

Okay. Yeah, I mean, maybe not any shape. But you can make I mean, going back to starships, you try and make a a spaceship out of a bit of dough, it'd be quite difficult because it's quite floppy.

There's that word again, floppy. Don't know why I just kept thinking about that word the other day. Floppy.

So you got that dough. And you can make it into a small loaf, you can cut it up and make it into small rolls. You can stretch it out to make it into a long roll, like a stick loaf.

Yeah, it's all just different kinds of things you can do with that dough. And also depending on what you're actually making. Because the dough might not be bread, it might be the dough for what they call doughnuts.

You know, so you just cut them into little bits and turn them into so you know, rolling around, and then frying them. So it depends what you're making. The good thing about the video is licking my feet was licking my ankles.

I do like my ankles nicked, nicked, licked. Not in a weird way, but just just calming. He stopped doing it when I said in a weird way.

No, I don't mean in a weird way, Vinnie. Like he was a friend. So you can maneuver that dough.

One of the good things about that is I feel one of the problems with physical sensations that we've been like focusing on is they seem very set in their ways. Very kind of stuck. And we've all met human beings like that.

I've been like that myself. And I guess I am in some ways stuck for certain aspects of my life. You know, maybe not as flexible, not as open minded as perhaps I could be.

About some things and it's some of it comes as we're getting older, I guess, and all the changes in the world. But you know, you got that rigidity when it comes to say for my arthritis, for example, sometimes just feel so rigid, like just come on, do something different. I mean, you know, I know it's there.

It's there for a reason. It's there to kind of just make sure that I'm a little bit careful with my back and you know, I say do something different. I know it's not just going to jump out on the table, start tap dancing.

But it could be something different. You know, if I take that arthritis out of my back and have it as dough, and I can start to change the shape, you start to change the shape of that physical feeling. Stretching it out, making it really thin.

Do you ever do that with bread where but I'm assuming that you've made bread. I did. I used to work in a bakery, two different bakeries when I was younger.

And I used to help my stepmom making bread as well. So and also I do cook in the school. So I know a little, it's a long time ago.

But I do remember a little bit about it. And sometimes with with it's the same kind of is when you make pasta as well as the same kind of process. Like you can make it really thin.

And sometimes and maybe you put it for a pasta cutting machine. But if you kind of isolate to play around the bread, see how thin I could get it. You know, if it's a dough, you could be making a pizza base or whatever.

But it gets to the point where it's so thin. And you can kind of see through it. I mean, you wouldn't try and read a book through it.

But now that would look weird. In a library, if you're having a big bit of dough trying to read a book through the dough, because it's so thin. Yeah, why just put it away, just read the book on its own.

But so you probably wouldn't want to do that. But you can kind of see light through it. But then at some point, it just splits.

And it just go. And it might not make that noise. But that's the noise I imagine it would make.

It's been a long time ago. And we used to have the radio on quite loud. So if it did make that sound, I wouldn't probably hear it.

But that and it just goes floppy and you have to start again. I think I used to have this issue when I was making the Yeah, the dough base for the pizza at school. So I used to like to stretch it.

And just wonder when I wonder if everything's if anything could stretch this far. I had a lot of high hopes for myself back then. Very optimistic.

So I was just like, making the dough and he realized that it's not it's set once it's because obviously, once it does get set, and it's dry, and it's kind of stuck, you know, pastry goes dry, doesn't it? Even when it's not cooked, it'll go dry and all just unusable and to be fair. But if you get hold of it, and start molding about, because I've actually in the past, got dry pastry or dry dough, and stuck it in a bowl, added some flour, added some water, and managed to get it back to being done again.

So the feeling you had before can change.

I'm not saying that it's made of water and flour, because we're not made of dough, are we? But as an example, by the way, if you can hear music downstairs, it's because there's music downstairs. I don't know what else to say. Hopefully, it's not too loud.

But hey, they are they're good. I've got really good neighbors downstairs. They're lovely.

So occasionally I have music on. But I don't complain. Because it's not real, blimey.

It's not really anything to complain about. I do wish they'd play a bit more ABBA though. That's my only, I had one neighbor, well years ago.

And he moved in, there was a taxi driver living there. This is when I lived in a room before I moved here. And I just had this room and we was in a basement and there was three rooms.

And the one that was, this is ridiculous. Okay, this bloke that lived there originally, but when I moved in, taxi driver, long hair, big beard. I mean, long, long hair.

And he moaned one day at me saying, we should clear the hairs out of the shower when you finished. I mean, I was shaved, I had a shaved head. And possibly a shave, you know, maybe had a little bit of a beard by the shaved head.

And he had all this long hair. I was like, are you sure? And he couldn't see the irony in it. I laughed to see just like, what's funny? He didn't go, ooh, but he did like seem a bit upset.

I did. That's not really relevant to the story. But I just remembered.

So he moved out, yay. And then someone else moved in, who never said a word to me. And I think he must have heard about my hair problem, and the plug hole in the shower, even though it wasn't me.

So he came, he moved in. And probably once a day in the afternoon, for about half an hour, an hour, he would play really loud music. The thing is, he played music I liked.

I just like sometimes I'd lie down, just listen to it. So he was playing 80s music, or The Who, or stuff like that, like the jam. And I was like, yeah, cool.

I don't mind a bit of jam now and then. Bit of The Who. Didn't play ABBA.

But he did definitely play a lot of 80s, like late 70s, early 80s stuff. So I think he was probably a little bit older than me. Just marginally, maybe, you know, a few years older.

Might even be younger, it's hard to tell. I didn't ask him because he didn't talk to me. I wonder if that's because I farted every time I saw him.

I can say it's because I farted through his keyhole. But that was a weird thing to say. Why would I say a thing like that? So he did have a keyhole, I never looked through it.

And you're like, why do you know? How do you know there's a keyhole if you didn't look through it? There's keyholes in every door, isn't there? Doesn't look through every keyhole. And now you're thinking, oh, is that how you got arthritis in your back? All that bending over, looking through people's keyholes. No.

I can't believe that people think things like that. So this has gone in the wrong direction. Often happens.

So I'm thinking, this alien abduction technique, all right. So imagine that you've got your part of your body is glowing, a glowing orb. And you've got this spaceship just hovering down.

And that glowing orb, maybe it's changed colors. It's just being raised, slowly rising until it's inside the spaceship. And then the UFO or whatever they call it now, just takes off and they move and they leave.

Why did they rename UFOs? My whole life, what's a UFO new name? UFOs, UAPs. Washington, members of Congress heard stunning testimony during a hearing July 27th. Okay, I don't know.

UAP stands for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, a catch all term to describe objects detected in the air, sea and space. The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena of the acronym stood for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena until December 2022, when the Pentagon updated it. Well, I'm sorry, I don't live in the Pentagon.

I live in the UK. So still UFO. We still use the word UFO in this country.

Unidentified Flying Object. And if it's on the ground, it's not a UFO, is it? It might be unidentified. But it's not a flying object.

And all those books with UFO on it. What about the TV show UFO? Well, all the TV shows about UFOs, spaceships, even songs about UFOs. Now it doesn't make any sense because they're called UAP.

No, UFOs catchy. It is, isn't it? Don't you think? It's like, I don't know. I'm thinking, is it just, I do know an organization that changed their name when the name that they had for the organization went through a bit of a pummeling, some bad press and they changed the name.

Now, it seemed to coincide with that, whether it was that what we're going to do to start with. But I can see why that, you know, I can see that makes sense. To do that, you know, but UFO is such a good name.

So I'm just going to imagine that myself now. So Vinnie's hassling me. So I'm going to try and ignore him.

So you've got the spaceships coming down. My lower back is an orb. My left side of my lower back.

And there's a colored orb. I'm going to give it yellow. Get the color yellow.

Imagine a spaceship just coming down and sucking it off or sucking it up rather into the I guess a bit like a magnet underneath. If the object was made of metal, a really powerful magnet, but then it probably wouldn't move slowly with it. I wonder if you can get a magnet to move something slowly.

So if that part of your body was in a part that you don't want, that feeling was magnetized, and it was a spaceship or just a magnet, you know, a magnet thing. So it was let's say it's metal, and it was a magnet above it. Instead of it going really quick, could you do it in a way so that it moved slowly? I don't know.

I don't think that's is it possible? That's just quite weird. I just done it. I did some some of this.

I think they're playing like drill or grime or grill music or whatever. And it just sounds like people arguing with each other. It's kind of like a mixture between because I can't hear it properly.

It sounds like they're arguing. But at the same time, there's a horse race going on at the same time. So they're arguing and commentating on a horse race.

So it's like, like that. It's weird, weird, weird, auditory sensation. You got the bubble wrap method.

Wrap your area mentally with soothing imaginary bubble wrap. Okay, I like that. Visualize wrapping the affected body with soft, comforting bubble wrap.

Experiencing each bubble gently popping away tension and discomfort. I'm going to do that. So so you imagine that so the part of your body, the the physical sensation that was there before.

Imagine that just being wrapped in bubble wrap. Maybe you can just imagine it moving out of your body in front of you. Wrapping it with bubble wrap.

And perhaps you can imagine popping those little bubbles yourself. Those little are they bubbles? Yeah, bubble, each bubble, gently pop in. So you can imagine just popping them yourself.

Feely would love that. And every time a bubble pops, tension and discomfort moves away and is released. I like this one.

This is quite nice. It's relaxing. And so what I might do is actually do an individual recording for each one of these completely separate.

Then there's the pain free ice cream. I said the word whoops. So concept is to mentally consume special.

Oh, freeze ice cream, not free, freeze. So to freeze the feeling ice cream to numb that discomfort. So imagine eating your favorite ice cream flavor infused with relieving ingredients.

Feel the coolness spreading through your body, gently numbing and soothing any sensation of discomfort that was there before. And you could literally actually have an ice cream. Just imagine every time you eat an ice cream or your favorite food.

That happens. Or any food, in fact. Every time you have a drink of water.

I quite like the idea of sometimes when I'm, I'm going to talk about urinating, but I'm not going to go into detail. But sometimes imagine the stress and the tension and the any discomfort leave in my body through my winkle. And it's kind of just that relief because there's a, you know, if you've a full bladder, it's a relief to let it out in it.

And it'd be quite nice. And I guess there's other ways of other expulsion techniques that perhaps we don't need to focus on talking about pooing. So that's a quite good technique, the cartoon character transfer.

So, visualize your physical feeling that we were talking about as a visible entity. So visualize your physical feeling as a visible entity. Then let a favorite cartoon character, such as SpongeBob or Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse or Moon Pig, Moon Pig.

Pinky Moon Pig, Pink Piggy, Pink Pig, whatever the cartoon characters are, comically absorb or carry away the physical sensation, making it impossible to take it seriously. I mean, it goes, it's a very similar kind of technique to the Pac-Man. There was a technique, obviously, like decades and decades ago, where Pac-Man would actually eat the discomfort feelings, the feelings you don't want, and also used in helping people to with quite serious conditions as well to make changes at the core to, you know, yeah, so it's used in quite different sort of techniques, different settings and stuff.

You've got the, so we test that out. So imagine trying to think of a, I can't imagine Hong Kong Fury coming in and chopping up. So he's gonna, he's got to have, yeah, he's got to be coming out of a filing cabinet like he does in the cartoon.

I won't do the music or the song. I so want to, I know a little bit about it, like Hong Kong Fury. Remember that bit? So he jumps out and starts karate chopping or kung fu chopping.

That physical sensation sort of moves away, rips it out, just tears it up. Wow. Now he's kicking it, now he's standing on it.

It's a bit aggressive. That's a nicer way of being nice. And what about Homer Simpson? He comes in, we could turn it into, yeah, turn it into a big drink, like a big, I forget what beer he drinks in the Simpsons, but turn it into that so he can drink it.

Yeah, or maybe you can drink it for a straw. How many people do you know that still say, doop, like in real life, still say doop? Yeah, that'd be quite a good one to play with. That's a bit of fun.

Right, the switch control room, where you can dial down the intensity of the physical sensation. So I've already done that before. Time travel technique.

Ah, yeah, travel back to a time before you had that feeling. And just notice how you feel. Replacing those feelings with comfort and calm, relaxation.

There's a lot of good techniques. I like these. Some of them I've done before.

The scribbler eraser. I've done this before. So imagine your physical sensation represented as a messy crayon scribbles on a chalkboard or paper, or a blackboard or an eraser, you know, something you can, a whiteboard even, yeah, using a giant magical eraser, effortlessly wipe away the scribbles, leaving the area clean, calm, and free.

Ah, it's kind of, there was a technique, I think, I mean, I used it, I don't know if it was from an old technique, which would be the etch-a-sketch technique, which is an old thing that was used years ago, like a toy for kids. I think they're still around, but it's different now. I think you can probably draw on a screen.

But it used to, like, be able to make things. And then when you had enough of it, used to be able to make lines and draw things on it. Once you'd had enough, you could just shake it, and it would clear the screen.

So basically, it would be like drawing the physical sensation, and then shaking the screen and erasing it. So that's kind of a, an up, up more, up more dated, a more updated version. The negotiation personified the, okay, so as you talk to the part of your body, offer a comfortable place for it to rest elsewhere, allowing it to safely and willingly leave your body.

Okay, so that's, we could do that right now, just say, please leave. So in a nicer way, I guess, this may be kind of a lay down, kind of a rest. If you're at work, maybe send it home to go and imagine it having a sleep in your bed.

Yeah, just to, you know, have a little, have a little bit of space apart. There's the balloon ascension method. Yeah, I've done that one before.

It's just imagine tying loads of balloons to that part of your body or that, you know, that feeling that's in that part of your body. So kind of moving it out and putting balloons on it and just watching it float away. I've done that a few times over the years.

The animal companion method. Okay, let's have a look at this. Assign an imaginary animal companion who absorbs your physical feeling.

So you visualise a friendly, comfortable, comforting animal, perhaps a puppy or kitten, gently, gently absorbing your feeling, transforming it into harmless energy and leaving you feeling deeply relaxed and comfortable. See, I do this with Vinnie, but I do it the other way around. So I kind of just imagine him sending comfort and calmness to me.

Peace and healing to me. Not giving his healing away, but just sharing the healing, the calmness, because when he's, when he's relaxed, he's really relaxed. And it kind of feels like we're at one, like one, I don't know, in a weird way, kind of connected.

I mean, there's definitely energy there, isn't there? So I'm trying to think this is possibly, maybe being a really weird recording, but I was thinking I quite like some of those techniques. Perhaps I could do, go a little bit more in depth into one of them at a time and just play around with and do different versions of that particular technique maybe. So what's this? I mean, I've already done two of them anyway, recent.

No, I did one of them recently. The time travel technique. All right.

Okay. Yeah, that's, that's kind of, he's given the time, the name time travel, but it's quite a standard technique. Just imagine a time in the past when you felt relaxed.

It's, I do like, there's some techniques I like, like the magic mirror, when you imagine, you can see yourself in the mirror, looking in the mirror. And what you do is you, you step inside, but that, that, that you in the mirror that you're looking at is completely relaxed. There's no physical discomfort at all.

Your whole body is relaxed and comfortable, calm and loose. So when you're ready to experience that feeling, just step inside that mirror. Just experience that feeling, feeling completely relaxed, loose and calm.

That part of your body feeling different to how it was before. And you can stay as long as you want inside that magic mirror, experiencing and enjoying those feelings of comfort. And when you're ready to step out, you can step out, but leave any of the negative or problematic or stressful or discomfort in the mirror.

So when you step out of the mirror, you only take with you comfort, positivity, relaxation, peacefulness. And then when you're ready to step out that mirror, just step out and notice how the feeling you have when you're in the mirror stays with you. How comfortable you feel, relaxed, you feel peaceful and calm.

Your mind's slow. Everything's very tranquil. That's one of those things I quite like to do.

And you can play around with that. There's also another thing that I quite like, you know, with the Star Trek, you've got the, what do they call it? Beam me up thing. The transporter, isn't it? Transporter.

And when you think what a transporter does, I know it's science fiction, but it basically takes every single atom and molecule of a person and then transports it to a different place. Now in that process, you could actually take out what you don't want anymore. If there's a molecule or something in there, a feeling that's not necessary, not needed, it could just be when you transport the person back or wherever they are, you can just remove that bit.

So they get transported and everything's exactly the same, but that little bit's missing. So they feel better, more comfortable, you feel more relaxed, more peaceful. And I quite like the idea of that because that reminds me a bit of back in 2000 when I started building websites.

I didn't know what I was doing. I'm not, I'm not some expert on websites. I just, I got a little bit obsessed with it for a while, for about a year and a half.

And I had loads of books on how to do HTML. It's now HTM and then it became something else. But doing the code, I learned how to do stuff.

But I wanted to learn how to do stuff myself by dissecting a page. So what I would do is I take one little bit out as an at a time to see if it made any difference to the functionality of the page. Sometimes it didn't, sometimes it did.

So I like to think of maybe in the same way like the transporter, you take out things that are not needed. So if the feeling is not pleasant or comfortable, calm, relaxing, then maybe it's just not needed. And that could be removed.

And everything else functions exactly how it did before. Perfectly fine and healthy. And I quite like the idea with that.

Because I did so you know, I worked out, I would remove so much stuff that didn't affect the page at all. There's seen a lot of stuff that wasn't relevant. But then sometimes you just move one thing and it just ruins the page or changes everything.

And that's another way of looking at if you flip it around. So you got one thing. Let's say you think of that part of your body is like a web page.

And you want to change it. And you move out and you've got that physical sensation that you're, you know, that you used to have, that you're being that you've changed and you're looking at it. And it's like a web page.

And maybe the image is a web, you know, the it's an image on a web page. And you want to get you want to change it, maybe completely transform it. So you go to the code and you mess around.

But if you just move a certain amount of code, the whole page won't work anymore. There'll be no web page, it'll just be just a little bit of nothing and empty, empty. So that that physical feeling that was there before can't get back because the web page is broken.

You know? Yeah. I mean, it's an attempt at an analogy, isn't it? An analogy. So what, if you was to gauge it now from zero to 10, what would it be? Right now? How has it changed? How does it feel different? Maybe let me know.

I don't mean like, talk out loud, I won't hear you. But let me know online. So that's the end of this recording.

Thank you for listening and remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy. Be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

Lots of love. Bye.
