👉 "#1434 Let Me Bore You to Sleep Q&A Friday – Jason Newland – 19th September 2025"

Impact: Listener stats dropped, and Jason fears many fans aren’t aware of the uploads' disappearance.

  • Website Changes:
    • He restored his primary site, JasonNewland.com, with 1,000 of the most recent episodes.
    • He discontinued LetMeBoreYouToSleep.com, citing confusion and redundancy.
    • Now users can stream 6 versions of each recording (e.g., with/without music, extended versions).
  • Distribution: Some syncing issues with Spotify remain.
❓Q&A SECTION HIGHLIGHTS 🔹 1. “What do you do for downtime besides walking and recording?”
  • Boxing and walking Vinnie (his dog) are daily routines.
  • TV & movies are his go-to relaxation tools—especially binge-watching series.
  • Not much time for anything else when he’s busy making recordings.
🔹 2. “Are you happy?”
  • He finds this question difficult.
  • Doesn’t provide a clear answer—seems reflective and ambiguous.
🔹 3. “Have you ever collected anything?” Jason gives an epic, sprawling answer that spans decades. Key collections include:
  • Comics as a child: The Dandy, Look-In
  • Time Out magazines in London
  • Books (science fiction, Star Trek, Wilt, beat generation, philosophy, Buddhism, psychology)
  • Stand-up comedy: LPs, videos, cassettes (George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Lenny Bruce, etc.)
  • Top Trumps cards (as a kid, but had no one to play with)
  • Hypnosis & therapy books (later tied into his professional interest)
  • Audio recordings: NLP, self-help, meditation
  • Personal journals: 45-50 handwritten journals over 25 years (sadly destroyed)
He details many transitions in life, including moving frequently, being evicted, and repeatedly losing his possessions and collections. 🔹 4. “How’s your dad?”
  • Jason says his dad is doing well, recovering energy after treatment for a health condition.
  • Recently met up with Jason and his brother.
  • Jason notes how rare it is for all of them to be together, especially outside their hometown.
🔹 5. “Have you ever done Tai Chi or Qigong? Thoughts on meditation?”
  • Yes to both, lightly practiced at a Buddhist center.
  • Strong preference for walking meditation:
    • Focuses on breath, balance, awareness of surroundings.
    • Helps manage chronic back pain.
    • Uses walking time with Vinnie as a form of mindfulness.
  • He finds seated meditation uncomfortable due to back issues.
  • Expresses appreciation for slow movement practices like Qigong and Tai Chi, especially their meditative elements.
🔹 6. “Are older British homes more haunted? Do you think your flat is haunted?”
  • Doesn’t believe in ghosts per se, but:
    • Remembers feeling uneasy in his childhood home.
    • Recounts a strange experience with a carpet rising on its own.
  • Acknowledges that there's more energy in the world than humans can perceive.
  • Mostly jokes that his flat is haunted by Vinnie (his dog) and formerly by Andre (his ferret).
  • Notes that noisy neighbors are more disturbing than ghosts.
🛒 BONUS: Mini Rant About Shampoo (1:15:30)
  • Ordered 10 bottles of shampoo via Uber Eats.
  • Only received 1 bottle.
  • Cue: "Never been so angry!"
🧘‍♂️ TONE & STYLE Jason’s style remains:
  • Meandering and reflective
  • Occasionally funny and self-deprecating
  • Deeply personal, often nostalgic
  • Gentle and soothing despite the tangents
🧠 THEMES
  • Technological frustration
  • Nostalgia and memory
  • Minimalism vs. materialism
  • Self-reflection and growth
  • Mental and physical wellness
  • Gentle humor amidst daily chaos

00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:09.320
Hello, and welcome to Jasondewland dot com. My name's Jason Newland,

2
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:16.640
and this is let Me Buy You to Sleep. It's

3
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:21.399
also que and Friday.

4
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:24.320
It is.

5
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:31.480
It's qur and a Friday, everybody. So it's Friday, the

6
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:38.200
nineteenth of September two thousand and twenty five. It is

7
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:44.359
three point fifty three pm. And please only listen when

8
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:50.759
you can safely close your eyes. So before I get

9
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.920
on with the questions, because there isn't many, nor many questions,

10
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:04.239
very few questions today. There's been a few problems with

11
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:10.519
Apple podcasts. Just I'm not laughing at them. Just it's ridiculous.

12
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.879
Some of the stuff that's I kind of don't know why.

13
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:21.439
So it all started, we didn't start, but and kindly

14
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.920
let me know, let me know some two days ago

15
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.560
that the new recordings are not showing up on Apple

16
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:33.480
podcasts anymore. There's no reason why they're not showing up.

17
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.239
I couldn't figure it out. So I refreshed them and

18
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.400
did everything I could try and do. They still weren't

19
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:51.200
giving me the latest recordings. And I really spent ages

20
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.359
on it trying to figure out what's wrong, why it

21
00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:00.159
wasn't working, and all that stuff. In the end, I

22
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.280
had to delete them or put them all into archive

23
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:10.000
mode and then re redo it on Apple Podcasts. So

24
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:16.479
each podcast I've got, which is how many podcasts, I've

25
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:40.199
got one, two, three, four, five, six No one one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,

26
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.599
So I think there's twelve podcasts. I've not done all

27
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:50.560
of them, but I've re not uploaded, but submitted, resubmitted

28
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:59.680
the twelve podcasts onto Apple Podcasts, which is kind of

29
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:05.199
like stying all over the game, which is frustrating, and

30
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:17.479
it significantly affected my stats. So I guess I'm not

31
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:26.919
saying I've lost the listeners, but the listeners may not

32
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:34.199
be aware of the problems I've had with the Apple podcasts,

33
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.400
So a lot of people may just maybe thousands out

34
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.120
there that just don't know that. I have not released

35
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.520
any new recordings since the seventeenth, not the seventeenth, since

36
00:03:47.560 --> 00:04:02.080
the since I don't know whatever day it was, it

37
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:14.919
was about a week ago. Now I have done it,

38
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.560
redone it all whether or not it's going to work

39
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.639
or not, because I've tested them. So it's just got

40
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:27.279
a bit confused for me as well. So I've been

41
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:34.720
working on it. So what I've done is I've gone

42
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:41.120
back into it and uploaded a new version of each one.

43
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.120
So according to this, so let me boy to Sleep

44
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:50.519
is working fine now under the new one. And I

45
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:59.759
also did, oh it's not available. Okay, all right, I'm

46
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.000
gonna have to add something. So all the pages, all

47
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:08.680
the all the podcasts are now up and running. They

48
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.839
should be. What I've also done is just look, I

49
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.279
think I've kind of not only if I confuse myself,

50
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.639
but I think I've confused people with all the changes

51
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.639
I made recently. I know this is another change, but

52
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.160
unfortunately I kind of had to do this because Apple

53
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:33.360
podcast is my main source of listeners. I'm hoping that

54
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:39.240
everyone kind of will find them. So what I've done

55
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:45.560
is my main website, Jason Inland dot com is now

56
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:54.800
up and running properly again as a podcast. So if

57
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.600
you go on there, it's got a thousand episodes. So

58
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.959
the latest thousand episodes are available. There's eighty four pages,

59
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:09.879
and there's a thousand one two three, four, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

60
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.839
I wonder how many in each one two three fourth,

61
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.399
I said, it's a thousand anyway, One two, three, four,

62
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.319
ten eleven, twelve, twelve times by eighty four whatever that is,

63
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.120
so ten times by eighties eight hundred, isn't it? So yeah,

64
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.519
like a thousand or whatever. I don't think it's going

65
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.839
to go all the way back to every episode. So

66
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.399
what I've done is I've made the Jason Newland dot

67
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:47.920
com the podcast for my hipnosis Are Sleeping Deeply, which

68
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:54.319
has every recording I do is on there, including all

69
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.079
the different versions, you know, the without music, with music,

70
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:06.439
five ten's and all that stuff. So I'm not just

71
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.199
trying to have a look to see how far back

72
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:14.240
it goes. Some people in the gardens. Then he was

73
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.920
barking a minute ago, but hopefully he won't be. In

74
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.560
a minute he will calm down. I think he's I've

75
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.240
closed the window, but there's not much more I can

76
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:33.639
really do do. Yeah, so this, I think the thing

77
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:42.439
is with this, how many episodes on nine and seventy episodes?

78
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:48.399
So I've got a thousand on my website. So what

79
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:49.680
I'm going to do is I'm going to put a

80
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:55.399
page where you can link to. In fact, you can

81
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.920
go to the actual website. I think via here it

82
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:13.360
should be able to subscribe Apple Podcast Apple Podcast so

83
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.800
you can go to the Apple Now it's just all

84
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.319
over the place. I don't know, but you should be

85
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.879
able to see it on spreak as well, so I'll

86
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:26.279
figure that out. I'll get it sorted. But at the moment,

87
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.720
you can actually just listen to Late's recordings on there.

88
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.080
It's a podcast now like it was before. It's a

89
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.519
little bit different to before, but it is a podcast.

90
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.519
So you can just go to Jasonnewland dot com and

91
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:44.480
you can listen to six versions of the last recording,

92
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:46.960
or six versions of the one before that, and before

93
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:52.399
that before then all the way back to second of

94
00:08:52.399 --> 00:09:03.200
April this year. A thousand recordings since the second of April,

95
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.559
but that does include the six different versions, but still

96
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:12.399
quite a lot. So yeah, it makes it a little

97
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.200
bit easier. You can use it on your phone, you

98
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.279
can use it on a laptop, whichever way you want.

99
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:16.519
To do it.

100
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:21.879
And for example, I'll just play you know, I won't

101
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:25.879
play it, but it's there. I'll put it on mute,

102
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:33.919
moot and I'll click on it and it should pull

103
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:38.279
up right. It also pulls up all the information about

104
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:45.480
it as well, and there is a link Hypnosis are

105
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:51.039
Sleeping Deeply okay, Well it's not given me a link

106
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:57.759
to the speaker page. Well hopefully, Okay. The other thing

107
00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:59.279
is I've got rid of the let Me Boy, the

108
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:03.399
sleep dot com website. I just figured, what do I

109
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:08.759
need two websites for one's enough? And it seemed like

110
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.080
a good idea at the time when I did it.

111
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:16.559
But if anything, I think just annoyed people because I

112
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.399
got rid of the Jasonnuland dot com, which has been

113
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:26.600
around for twenty years, and at least you knew how

114
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.120
to find me. You know, if if all the apps

115
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.480
go down or all the the podcast you know, sharing

116
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.799
platforms go down, you can at least listen to me

117
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:47.799
on my website. So it's it's handy. Did it allow

118
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:57.320
us to open on Spotify? Is it open on Spotify? Okay?

119
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:04.679
So it's not completely syncd up, but it's it's okay.

120
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.799
I think it's doing its job, and I'll try and

121
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:13.759
make a few changes along the way to update it

122
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:16.759
make it a little bit better. But that's it.

123
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:17.080
Really.

124
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:31.039
What else? Why's it going so slow? Yeah? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

125
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:41.799
twelve podcasts. There's like one hundred and one shows on

126
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:48.559
my Apple podcast archived from over the last uplimey however

127
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.759
many years. So yeah, so the first time I've archived

128
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:57.679
before deleted stuff, but this was because it needs to

129
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:05.600
be done. I think basically Apple podcasts got confused. I'm

130
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.720
using a confused word a lot. I think maybe I'm

131
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.720
just the only one that got confused. It don't take

132
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:15.159
much for the end. So I should also say welcome

133
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:22.559
to Karen who's joined Jason Newland's boring group on Facebook,

134
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.720
and if you'd like to join then please do. That'd

135
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:31.639
be brilliant. We love to have you, and that I

136
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.360
do believe all that information. It's you know, it might

137
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:42.519
be a little bit annoying. I do apologize, but you know,

138
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.279
it is what it is. It's all done now. I

139
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.480
just need to do a little bit of sinking up

140
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:58.200
and hopefully, hopefully fingers crossed. When I upload this it

141
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:06.080
will update on the Apple Podcasts. If it doesn't, I

142
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.120
don't know what I'm going to do. It's just gonna

143
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:14.919
I just just hope it does. Yeah. So other than that,

144
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.000
things have been a bit weird the last couple of days,

145
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.960
but I aren't going too that. It's just you know,

146
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:27.919
a few strange things around here. So I'm going to

147
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.960
start off with Ben and just apologize for the noisy

148
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:40.039
people outside. In fact, I'm gonna do I'm gonna draw

149
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:41.759
the curtains, see if i can block some of that

150
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.600
noise out. There's still a little window opens. I closed

151
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:51.279
that and I've drawn the curtains over. I've got these

152
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:59.200
sound deadening curtains. I hope that they're gonna don't make

153
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:05.840
any difference. At least I'm giving it a I'm giving

154
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:10.879
it a try, and I'm putting some effort in. So

155
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:19.200
Ben asks me, what is Jason's downtime, as he's always

156
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.080
walking the dog, not making recordings. What's Jason do for

157
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:27.600
himself apart from boxing? As he it's weird talk about

158
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:34.879
it my third person. What's my downtime? My downtime right

159
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:39.799
now is wanting that noise to stop outside. That's my

160
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:50.480
main focus. Screech, squeaky's out there. So it's very, very

161
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:58.399
very noisy. Okay, my downtime I do I like to

162
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:05.039
I would say boxing my downtime. But so I'm taking

163
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:10.759
Vinnie out usually three times a day. Sometimes if I

164
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:13.360
make a lot of recordings, I'll be you know, the

165
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.799
days when I'd just make three recordings in a day,

166
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:22.279
which is a lot. Not recently, but I have done

167
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:27.080
it quite a few times. And what do I do.

168
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.399
I like to watch a movie, especially if it's one

169
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.360
that I've been looking forward to watching, like a new

170
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.320
release or a new season of a TV show that's

171
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:52.080
come out. Sometimes if I get my teeth into a

172
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:58.279
TV show, I will watch I'm not saying a binge watch,

173
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:03.720
but I will definitely watch a episodes. And if I

174
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:09.039
can get into it and the whole seasons done and finished,

175
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.200
I'll get through the entire lot within you know, maybe

176
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:18.000
a month. So I might end up watching two, three,

177
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.080
four episodes a day, but I won't sit all day

178
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.919
watching it. I'm not going to do like eight hours

179
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:31.960
straight watching TV. Generally I have done in the past,

180
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:37.480
but not not for a long time. Second, also, are

181
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:44.120
you happy? That's a difficult question to ask. I've got

182
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.399
no idea how to answer that question. Third, have you

183
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:49.720
ever collected anything?

184
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.759
Oh? I have.

185
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:58.480
I have. Let's go for all the things I've collected

186
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:10.039
when I was a kid. When I was a kid,

187
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.480
I used to collect So I used to get the

188
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.920
two different comics every week. The dandy and looking, and

189
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.119
I used to collect them. So although i'd get them

190
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:23.680
every week, i'd also collect them and sometimes i'd get

191
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:25.759
them put them all in order. I'd sit in the toilet.

192
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:32.440
I sit on the toilet. I remember once my oldest

193
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.079
brother was watching I Think the fa Cup on a

194
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:42.400
Saturday afternoon and I went into the downstairs toilet and

195
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:49.119
organized all of my comics in order, like by date.

196
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:56.599
I quite enjoyed that, and I did the same thing

197
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:03.039
when I moved to London. I time Out magazine every week.

198
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.920
Was it a Thursday or was it a Tuesday. But

199
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:14.039
I'd buy it every week and I had about three

200
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:19.039
years worth collected, big massive old pile. That's one hundred

201
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.240
and fifty magazines. So yeah, I collected them for a

202
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:29.799
few years. I when I was at school, I used

203
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:35.119
to collect books. I don't think it was oh yeah,

204
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.839
I used to, I suppose because you know, finances were

205
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:44.400
limited with school. I didn't like have a huge amount

206
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:50.039
of books, but I did have a bookshelf for of

207
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:54.559
paperbacks and older house. I had hardback books and stuff

208
00:18:54.599 --> 00:19:01.079
as well, and I used to collect sign fiction books

209
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.279
for a while because they want there there's a lot

210
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.759
of rude bits in them. It's the truth, you know.

211
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:15.640
They have lots of adult scenes in these books. And yeah,

212
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:23.920
I enjoyed that. I collected the Wilt books as well

213
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:29.839
because I found them hilarious. So Wilt is if you've

214
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:35.079
never heard of Wilt, w I l t. There's a

215
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.960
writer they wrote, wrote for quite a few books based

216
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:47.880
on this character, and she's funny. It's really funny. What

217
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:53.359
other things I used to collect a lot of books.

218
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:57.599
I went through a period when I collected and read

219
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:07.319
Trek books like I was almost obsessed with them. And

220
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.720
these were adventures from Star Trek like the original TV show,

221
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.759
but not a TV show, if that makes sense. It

222
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:21.000
was like extra stories extra adventures, which maybe is it

223
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:24.640
came before Star Trek TV show, did, I don't know,

224
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.680
Gene Roddenberry or whatever, But there was loads of those.

225
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:35.400
I used to read a lot of those, especially when

226
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:39.599
I was feeling anti social at school and I didn't.

227
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:42.880
I go through periods when I didn't want to be

228
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.759
around anyone or be near anyone, so I would hide

229
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:50.400
and read a book during lunch break. So that was

230
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:54.000
a thing I remember. I remember sitting outside it was

231
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:58.519
behind the because we all had these form rooms where

232
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:02.680
we'd have to sort of congregate the beginning and the

233
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:10.599
beginning of the day, and also after lunch and maybe

234
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.880
even like at the end of the day. I can't remember,

235
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:19.640
but one year I was there and it was I

236
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:22.880
think it was the science lab. It's one of the

237
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:27.359
science labs I was in, and so it had an

238
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.480
exit out of the back as well. It's in the front.

239
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:33.400
I guess the fire exit was stairs and everything. So

240
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.559
I used to sit outside the back, got the fire

241
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:42.240
exit door and going that way, going in out that way,

242
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:47.559
because that wasn't the the exit that most people used,

243
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.440
so I'd hide and just sit on r near the stairwell.

244
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:58.359
So I just remember that, reading, reading the old Star

245
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:05.279
Trek books, other things. I went through a period when

246
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:10.160
I was when I got into karate. Well, yeah, martial arts.

247
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:17.559
I collected magazines. I can't even remember the name of

248
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:22.720
the magazines, but martial arts magazines, martial arts books, hung

249
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:30.200
Fu books, exercise books, books about Bruce Lee, and various

250
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:37.000
martial arts paraphernalia like nunchucks and throwing stars and all

251
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:40.359
the standard stuff that kids would kind of perhaps get

252
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:46.759
back then. And yeah, that's definitely something I used to

253
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:56.079
used to collect trying to think I used to I

254
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.960
went through a period when I was really into Yeah,

255
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.559
I'm just trying to think when I was a kid,

256
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.559
what other things I did. Oh, I remember when I

257
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.720
worked in the bakery when I was a kid. The

258
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.400
first bakery I worked in, I worked all through the summer,

259
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.960
so I was doing five or six mornings a week.

260
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:24.960
I mean I could have done, you know, seven, but

261
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:30.359
I think I probably did five or six and every

262
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.960
because I only worked to all like lunchtime from six

263
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:39.400
till twelve or something. I'd come home and I'd go

264
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:44.960
and buy these top Trump cards that cost a pound

265
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.440
or something, and I'd buy them. I had to buy something,

266
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:58.079
and I ended up clickeding these. I got loads of them,

267
00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:00.960
but I had no one to play them with. So

268
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:06.319
it was top Trump cars and top trunk motorbikes and

269
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:12.880
top Trump planes and stuff like that. It was kind

270
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:15.000
of pointless, really, but that's what I did.

271
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:21.039
That's what I did.

272
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:24.119
What would have been used for is I had collected clothes,

273
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:27.799
like nice clothes so that I could looked, could have

274
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.880
been like fashionable. That would have helped me in so

275
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.519
many ways that I had no idea like if only

276
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.920
I'd kind of had a clue back then, because I

277
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:42.119
could have bought myself, you know, a pair of trousers,

278
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:46.359
nice pair of shoes, you're fashionable stuff. I mean, not

279
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:51.039
like for school as well, but something that would look good,

280
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:57.640
even like a white shirt. You know, there's a white

281
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:00.599
shirt which for school, but then you got you can

282
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:04.960
get a really nice white shirt, you know, proper. You know,

283
00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:08.200
there's difference in clothes. I don't know why I'm trying

284
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.559
to explain that, but there was nothing wrong with the

285
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:17.319
clothes I was wearing. I just could have put a

286
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:19.799
bit of effort in myself because I could. At the time,

287
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:22.079
I had a little bit of money coming in from

288
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.039
the jobs, so that that would have been possibly a

289
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:31.519
better way to spend my money. Ah, well, it matter.

290
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:35.359
Then.

291
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:45.000
I when I got to my tea, like leaving school,

292
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.200
I did. I mean, I collected I had like quite

293
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.880
a good tape collection of music albums and stuff. So

294
00:25:53.960 --> 00:26:00.240
I had probably a couple of carrier bag falls, maybe

295
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.599
three carryback falls of tapes, so there was quite a few.

296
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:08.000
But some of those were carried on from when I

297
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:10.000
was a kid as well, so I'd had a lot

298
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:16.640
of those But then when I got to probably nineteen

299
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:29.880
eighty nine, I started collecting comedy videos, like stand up

300
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:34.519
comedy videos in nineteen eighty nine, Dune. In fact, it

301
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:39.759
might might have been nineteen eighty eight. It might have been,

302
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.160
but I started collecting live stand up comedy shows, live

303
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:56.160
videos Robin Williams, Steve Martin, There's so many Emo Phillips,

304
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:10.200
Steve Wright or Steven Wright, Eddie Murphy, as well as

305
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:24.359
like Burning Manning, Roy, Chubby Brown, you know, Jasper Carrots.

306
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.759
Any comedy, live comedy show I could get. I did

307
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.400
any stand up show I would get. So I had

308
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:38.039
quite a nice collection of those. It wasn't so much

309
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.839
that I was collecting them. I just I suppose I

310
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:47.240
was collecting them, but it didn't Maybe yeah, I was

311
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:51.200
collecting them without realizing, not thinking about it. I just

312
00:27:51.200 --> 00:28:00.319
wanted to watch them. And then I was still collecting, Yeah,

313
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:09.440
live stand up albums in nineteen eighty nine, and more videos.

314
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:12.319
But that's when it turned into a collection. So nineteen

315
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:17.680
eighty nine, I was buying albums and audio tapes of

316
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:23.240
stand up comedians at this point, mainly from American stand

317
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.839
ups that I'd never heard of. I've already had stuff

318
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:31.200
from Richard Pryor. So this is nineteen ninety so I

319
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:39.440
was getting stuff from and I was going to second

320
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:43.359
nd shops as well as traveling up to London to

321
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:48.720
get to like the big stores, the big music stores

322
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:57.480
like Verge, HMV and what's the other one, the other

323
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:02.640
record shop, I think what it's called. But there was

324
00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:07.359
three main record shops in the West End of London

325
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:13.759
which had its own stand up comedy section specifically, but

326
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:18.880
not just American, but a lot of American stuff. So

327
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:23.359
I kind of discovered Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Andrew dyas Clay,

328
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:28.240
Sam Kinnerson. Then it was Roddy Dangerfield that I already

329
00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:31.599
knew about anyway, because he was already famous in this

330
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:39.480
country for a long time. Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor. I

331
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:44.559
think I already had Richard Pryce's videos and Bill Cosby.

332
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.119
I had Bill's Cosby's the one way he turns fifty

333
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:53.720
and so he's just sitting on a stool, and I

334
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:57.920
didn't realize that he had loads of albums and stuff.

335
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.839
This is Bill Cosby. Yeah, so I had quite a

336
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:06.799
few albums at his I had all of Richard Pryor's albums,

337
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:15.279
all of Richard Prior's live performances, including one that's quite

338
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:21.480
quite rare. I don't know that anymore, but it's properly

339
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:29.680
on YouTube anyway. What else, Yeah, I had really good collection,

340
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:36.559
really nice collection, and I spent quite a few months

341
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:39.960
just pretty much all my money went on that, and

342
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:42.200
I was working, and just all my money went on

343
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:46.640
getting new albums because I wanted to. I decided to

344
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.920
sort of try and be a comedian, stand up comedian,

345
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:57.000
and this was kind of this is part of that

346
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.400
compulse of thing, and this is part of the whole

347
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.519
excitement of wanting to do it. And I suppose thinking

348
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:12.839
if I listened to other people, like the best comedians

349
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.799
in the world, what was some of the best in

350
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:20.440
the world, it would rub off on me. But it didn't,

351
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:25.319
It really didn't. But hey, it was worth a try,

352
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:34.039
wasn't it. After that, when I moved so I sold

353
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:37.759
all that stuff. But then I moved to London and

354
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:49.039
I got I started collecting comedy tapes like Richard pryor,

355
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:52.200
George Carlin. George Carlin was kind of my favorite really

356
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.519
for a while. It just made me laugh so much.

357
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.519
But I didn't collect collector I just had some. But

358
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:08.240
then when I moved to London, I really started collecting

359
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:14.720
books again. I also at this time was collecting journals

360
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.119
that I was writing, So I was writing journals every

361
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:22.039
day and over like a twenty five year period, I

362
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:27.640
had about forty five fifty journals, like pads full of me,

363
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:33.279
my writings and my life and my thoughts and stuff.

364
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:39.799
That's all destroyed a few years back, and I think

365
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:43.400
I got really more into buying books, collecting books, but

366
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:49.880
reading them. Yeah, so anything, not just comedy books. But

367
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:57.039
I really got into the big generation. I also used

368
00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:59.240
to read Time Out and find out what the latest

369
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.000
popular book was, and I'd ended up reading that as well.

370
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:06.359
So you know, I had quite a large book collection.

371
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:10.359
They all just stacked up on top of each other

372
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:17.519
against the wall. Had a lot of books and probably

373
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:26.240
about twenty bin Bag Falls and the Beach Generation. That's

374
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:32.359
when I kind of really got quite transfixed with poetry.

375
00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:40.599
With Anna Ginsburg. I can't remember half of them, but

376
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:49.200
a lot of Jack Carouac, all those kinds of that generation.

377
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.599
I was reading their books. I can't I can't honestly

378
00:33:52.640 --> 00:34:00.039
said I understood a lot of it either. And I

379
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:03.720
also used to read the poetry, some of them. It

380
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:07.799
was Snyder was another one. Some of the poetry I liked.

381
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:14.119
Some of it was a lot of it was context based,

382
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:17.800
as most of it seemed to be coming out of

383
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:23.880
America in the fifties and sixties, and I wasn't around then.

384
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:27.280
I wasn't American. I wasn't living in America in the

385
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:32.239
fifties and sixties. And I'm pretty certain even if I

386
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.559
was in this country, it was a different environment. You know,

387
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.840
we were, It's just that it would have been different.

388
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:48.119
So I'm never really gonna understand the vibe. Not really.

389
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:55.000
I enjoyed reading them. And then I discovered, kind of

390
00:34:55.079 --> 00:35:03.320
by accident, Charles Perkowski, who was his books would be

391
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:10.239
put into the same category as beat generation, and he

392
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:11.280
wasn't a beatnik.

393
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:12.159
He wasn't.

394
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:18.920
He's kind of like a crossover. He probably knew some

395
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:22.960
of them, and he lived like some of them, but

396
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:29.079
he wasn't he. For anyone that's read Charles Berkowski.

397
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:30.719
It's very real.

398
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.559
Almost too real, I suppose, some would say. And that's

399
00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:40.880
what I liked about it. I like, yeah, I quite

400
00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:47.400
quite like gritty, real stuff, not as in horrible stuff,

401
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:54.599
but just I don't know someone's personal opinion. And because

402
00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:58.639
he talks from a third person, he talks about himself,

403
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:05.960
but he's not himself. It's Hank Chenesky. It's the character

404
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:14.119
in his books, but it's basically him. And he also wrote,

405
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:18.119
because he wrote a really famous book called post Office Women,

406
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:22.239
and I forget the other one, but there was a trilogy,

407
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.119
and he also wrote ham On Rye and some other ones,

408
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:34.360
bar Fly and things like that. I quite liked the

409
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:43.159
poetry that he did. And yeah, so I had a

410
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.760
large collection of his books because it was quite prolific.

411
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:50.440
So I had a lot of his books and don't

412
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:56.079
have them anymore. So that was me collecting early nineties

413
00:36:56.719 --> 00:37:06.159
comedy tapes and then books I would say really focused

414
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:09.800
on the Big Generation. But I also had at that

415
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:21.679
time I started collecting Buddhist books and Zen Taoism, and

416
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.840
I started reading that stuff. So I got into that

417
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:29.679
because that fitted in with the Big Generation and the

418
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:33.559
the and I just at kind of fitted together with

419
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:38.719
me and something I was interested in. Anyway, I quite

420
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:40.840
like it if I can find something that hasn't overlapped

421
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:50.119
something else. And then when I left there, I did

422
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:54.760
take my stuff with me and I ended up in

423
00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:01.400
moved once twice, and then I collected more books on Buddhism,

424
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:05.239
so that was the main thing I've focused on around

425
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:10.760
ninety five, Like ninety four to ninety five, it was

426
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:18.679
mainly just Buddhist books that I collected, so I, I mean,

427
00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:20.920
I wasn't buying loads of those of books, but I

428
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:24.719
had a really good collection and I would read them

429
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:32.800
as well. And then in the end of ninety five

430
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:39.599
I was evicted and I basically just chucked everything out

431
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:52.119
because I couldn't take it with me. Then I, I'm

432
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.079
not sure chucked it. I think I left it outside

433
00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:57.920
and dustman took it. They weren't supposed to. It just

434
00:38:57.920 --> 00:38:59.480
happened to be in black bags as it was how

435
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:01.760
I traveled, so I didn't know where I was going

436
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:05.639
to take them, and I foun I'm going to try

437
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:07.639
and take into my girlfriends and ask if she'd look

438
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:12.920
after them for me. Anyway, the dustman came and got them,

439
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:17.119
and I pretty much took most of my belongings thinking

440
00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:20.519
it was just all rubbish, So technically I didn't really

441
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:21.159
check it out.

442
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:34.480
What else I in ninety six nineteen ninety six, I

443
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:36.599
was kind of starting from scratch again.

444
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:41.360
So I had the only thing I really had was

445
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:49.719
as far as belongings go, one book or two books

446
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:53.639
and that was it, and a few clothes. So I

447
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:59.320
started from scratch in January ninety six, and by likes

448
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:05.119
Vinny scraping its teeth on a something. I'm not quite sure,

449
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:06.280
but he seems happy anyway.

450
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:23.199
It's not eating his dinner today for some reason, and I, well,

451
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:23.480
I do.

452
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:25.400
I'm trying to think what I was going to say.

453
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:32.320
Then he just stopped, Okay. I I carried on with

454
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:36.719
my writing because I managed to save the journals, so

455
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:39.360
that was fine. So I still had all my journals.

456
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:49.400
And then I didn't buy a lot of books or

457
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.760
anything back then, I think because i'd lost all my

458
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:57.079
book collection kind of a few times over already. At

459
00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.559
this point, I just didn't know if there's any point.

460
00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:11.000
So between ninety six and then ninety seven, I didn't

461
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:20.480
really purchase much. I didn't collect anything really at all.

462
00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:28.079
During that period. I was a security guard for over

463
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:33.599
a year, and I had a girlfriend as well, so

464
00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:37.480
that kind of took up time outside of security work,

465
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:42.920
and that was a long hours. So I didn't apart

466
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:46.079
from reading books and stuff. I just didn't really have

467
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:50.599
a lot going on watching TV when I got home.

468
00:41:53.320 --> 00:42:00.960
And then late nineteen ninety seven, I started acting books again,

469
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:06.239
but this time is all about self help, motivation and

470
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:21.239
self help, and I blimey, he's so noisy. I do

471
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:26.239
still prefer him over this squealing and screaming outside in

472
00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:30.840
the garden. I don't know, it's just I kind of

473
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:34.679
just want to hear what's inside. I know it's not realistic,

474
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:38.679
but just just a little bit quiet, a little bit

475
00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:45.159
of a little bit calm, you know, what else should I?

476
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:47.679
I suppose, Like ninety seven, it was really much. I

477
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:55.000
was collecting audio recordings and self help audio recordings, motivation

478
00:42:56.039 --> 00:43:05.920
and zig ziglar meditation recordings for relaxing, and I was

479
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:13.920
really trying to figure a way for me to, I

480
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:20.199
don't know, grow as a person and become better and

481
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:25.119
become calmer and to heal. I don't know, I'm not

482
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:27.119
quite sure what it was I was looking for, but

483
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:33.360
I collected lots of books. I read lots of books.

484
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:35.199
And then.

485
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:42.519
Early nineteen ninety eight, it's January, I bought my first

486
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:48.800
two books on hypnosis. I didn't read them straight away.

487
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:51.320
I kind of looked at them and thought, I'll read

488
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:58.920
them one day, and then I did, and I thought, oh,

489
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:05.239
I did an NLP course at college, did like a

490
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:12.119
part time evening course at City University in London. And

491
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:18.159
that's when my interest was peaked more so in that

492
00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:23.840
side of things because it involved hypnosis. It also for

493
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:27.800
me kind of involved therapy and you know, all the

494
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:32.480
things that I was kind of interested in. So I

495
00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:37.800
started buying loads of NLP books, all the ones I

496
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:45.960
could get, and hypnosis books BlimE me, if anny, So yeah,

497
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:52.760
I started collecting all that stuff and then really for

498
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:58.760
the next few years I built my hypnosis collection up.

499
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:09.800
But then in two thousand, I'm not saying I lost

500
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:17.400
interest in hypnosis, but I did. It's true, I kind of,

501
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:27.400
for some reason, I became obsessed with building websites. And

502
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:35.639
I spent the next year and a half obsessively, pretty

503
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:40.559
much all day, every day working on websites. We weren't

504
00:45:40.639 --> 00:45:44.159
learning how to build them, how to learning the code

505
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:48.119
and HTML and all that stuff, and that was what

506
00:45:48.199 --> 00:45:51.440
I did, and I loved it, loved every second of it.

507
00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:59.840
And that's what I did for yeah, for the pretty

508
00:45:59.920 --> 00:46:07.719
mu much until summertime two thousand and one, maybe May time.

509
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:17.000
But then I was made I was evicted, so I

510
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:26.719
moved out and I didn't Everything was kind of up

511
00:46:26.719 --> 00:46:30.239
in the air. So I still had my belongings, still

512
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:37.039
had my books, but I didn't. I was kind of

513
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:39.159
a bit aimless, to be honest, I had this. I

514
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:43.039
was forced into a sales job by the job center,

515
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:49.159
and it was although I was quite good at it,

516
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:55.599
it was difficult, very difficult to do that, and I

517
00:46:55.639 --> 00:47:03.039
stopped reading. I stopped doing any website building, I stopped

518
00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:07.960
being interested in anything during that period. And then September

519
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:13.039
I moved to where my name was because she was ill,

520
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:17.480
so I wanted to be closer to my men. And

521
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:21.519
I had a new job again in insurance, but it's selling,

522
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:25.559
which is not really It was kind of the wrong

523
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:27.960
for me, thinging for me to get involved in, really,

524
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:31.000
but at the time I didn't know what was going

525
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:34.199
to happen. I didn't, you know, I wasn't really prepared

526
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:38.840
for the outcome of putting myself in that kind of

527
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:50.960
stressful environment long term. And during that period it wasn't

528
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:53.880
so bad because I really got I no longer got involved,

529
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:58.480
but I completely stopped doing any kind of website stuff

530
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:03.400
during two thousand and like the end of two thousand

531
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:10.360
and one, two thousand and two, and I would say

532
00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:16.639
even most of two thousand and three. Then two thousand

533
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:19.239
and four I picked up. I picked it up again,

534
00:48:19.559 --> 00:48:22.880
maybe two thousand and three I picked up again. But

535
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.679
I didn't do anything for a couple of years website wise.

536
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:35.960
But I did collect hypnosis books like a lot. I

537
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:41.760
had a huge library of hypnosis books, plus psychology books,

538
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:49.880
counseling books. And this was a long time, like six years,

539
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:53.440
five six years before I even started thinking about becoming

540
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:59.760
a counselor. I was just interested in therapy, interested in

541
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:07.199
how to helping others, but I guess also figuring a

542
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:13.199
way to help myself maybe, So that's kind of where

543
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:19.639
I was there. And i'd big, big book collection, and

544
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:26.920
that book collection continued right the way until two thousand

545
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:32.920
and seven November, and I had all these bookcases in

546
00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:38.079
this place I lived. Even I found it quite impressive

547
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:43.280
the amount of books I had, because it was very looked,

548
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:47.079
very professional, the setup I had, and I was doing

549
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:50.679
videos with these bookcases and all these books behind me

550
00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:56.239
on psychology and hypnosis and psychotherapy and all this stuff

551
00:49:56.320 --> 00:50:00.559
behind me is like, yeah, how many people like fool

552
00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:11.360
as if I know something of all? And then I moved. Also,

553
00:50:11.400 --> 00:50:15.480
I had videos, I had audios, I had CDs DVDs

554
00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:19.559
of hypnosis stuff courses as well as having done courses

555
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:27.440
like Life in Person as well. So I moved into

556
00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:35.840
a tiny room when I was at college, and I

557
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:37.719
had to get rid of some of the books. It

558
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:40.599
was too many too. It was literally I had all

559
00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:45.639
these these big containers full of books that was taken

560
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:49.199
apart the room. I wasn't going to get rid of

561
00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:55.000
the hypnosis books. I couldn't be getting rid of the

562
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:58.880
therapy books because I was studying counsel in the therapy.

563
00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:03.920
So why ended up doing is getting rid of all

564
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:09.079
of the I also used to collect. I had quite

565
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:15.119
quite a large collection of Buddhist books as well, probably

566
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:19.239
about fifty or sixty Buddhist books, maybe one hundred, there's

567
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:24.000
quite a lot. Anyway, I donated them to the Buddhist Center.

568
00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:31.760
And then I gave away all of my philosophy books,

569
00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:36.079
which again I had a big collection of like philosophy,

570
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:40.880
and not just philosophy, but things that kind of minded,

571
00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:43.599
you know. So I got rid of all of those

572
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:52.840
gave them to a second hand shop, and then that

573
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:56.800
kind of I kind of halfed not I don't say

574
00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:00.599
half my book collection, but there was also all the

575
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:08.199
other stuff like about creativity and really anything that wasn't

576
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:13.360
to do with hypnosis or therapy I got rid of,

577
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:20.440
which cut down my book collection by probably be half,

578
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:25.840
maybe a quarter, maybe I knocked a quarter off of it.

579
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:37.199
And then I moved again. Then I moved again, and

580
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:40.599
that was the place before I moved in here, and

581
00:52:40.639 --> 00:52:44.199
that was even smaller, well probably not smaller, but it

582
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:49.199
was damp. My books were starting to rot. I don't know,

583
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:55.000
it's not good. And I had a bit of a thing,

584
00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:57.760
a bit of an episode, and I actually destroyed it

585
00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:01.800
all of my books apart from one, which was The

586
00:53:03.960 --> 00:53:08.360
Teachings of the Buddha, which I've had for probably since

587
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:13.199
about nineteen ninety two, so I've had that book for

588
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:20.400
quite a while. That was the only surviving book. So yeah,

589
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:23.360
that was kind of That was probably the biggest collection

590
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:27.519
I had was probably hypnosis books, but I also had

591
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:36.280
a pretty healthy Buddhist collection as well. There wasn't even

592
00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:38.559
enough room on the shelves in the Buddhist Center to

593
00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:43.440
put them on because there were so many. So other

594
00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:45.840
than that, I'm trying to think of any other things

595
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:54.719
that I've collected recently over the last few years, the

596
00:53:54.760 --> 00:54:01.719
last ten years. I can't think of anything. So that's

597
00:54:01.840 --> 00:54:05.039
kind of really it. Books seems to be the main thing.

598
00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:11.840
Number four, How is your dad? So my dad he's

599
00:54:11.880 --> 00:54:16.440
doing all right. I saw him last weekend. He came

600
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:19.719
up to see me and with my little brother, so

601
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:25.880
he had lunch around the corner and he's, you know,

602
00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:29.039
he's he had some treatment and stuff for a condition.

603
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:36.199
He's getting his energy back and he seems to be

604
00:54:36.239 --> 00:54:39.000
doing well. It seems to be positive and seems to

605
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:42.519
be doing good. And I think he enjoyed sort of

606
00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:45.880
spending time with two of his sons together at the

607
00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:53.880
same time out which is only kind of that hasn't happened,

608
00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:58.440
doesn't happen too often, although it did happen just before Christmas,

609
00:54:58.800 --> 00:55:04.679
But that was the first time that outside of the

610
00:55:04.679 --> 00:55:07.400
town that he lives as the first that's the city's

611
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:13.840
the second time pretty much in decades that we've all

612
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:19.760
kind of got together. So that was nice. But yeah,

613
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:26.760
its seems to be doing good. Maria asks with your

614
00:55:26.800 --> 00:55:31.079
previous interest in martial arts. Have you ever practiced tai

615
00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:36.880
chi or chigung? Also, what are your thoughts on meditation? Yes,

616
00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:46.159
and yes, I did a bit of tai chi and chigung.

617
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:49.239
I think that chigung. I think they were both probably

618
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:52.880
connected to the Buddhist center. So what we'd have is

619
00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:58.079
there'd be a like a practitioner would come along and

620
00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:01.599
do a course, maybe a six week course on ti

621
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:05.880
chie or a regular Tuesday night on ti chie or

622
00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:08.960
chickgung and stuff. So I did a little bit of

623
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:12.719
tai chee, but the one I really liked was chickgung

624
00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:20.360
because but I did it minimally. I don't mean I

625
00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:22.519
changed the way I did it, but I mean I

626
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:28.079
didn't do much of it. But I did appreciate the

627
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:33.840
slow movements, the micro movements, the real like the idea

628
00:56:33.880 --> 00:56:38.920
of like holding a ball and passing that energy ball

629
00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:44.800
to another person and just that slow movement. I mean,

630
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:46.800
I'm doing it now. You can't see me do it,

631
00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:54.440
but it feels nice. And because I'm quite a slow

632
00:56:54.559 --> 00:57:04.559
person anyway, moving slowly is my default. Really, and which

633
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:10.519
brings me to your meditation is I think meditation's great.

634
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:18.079
I kind of meditate every day using walking meditation. So

635
00:57:18.079 --> 00:57:22.039
I want to take Vinnie out. I walk very slowly,

636
00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:27.159
and what I do is I focus on my feet

637
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:31.199
on the ground, how my feet feel, how my body

638
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:36.960
feels as I walk. And it's also part of like

639
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:39.599
paying control because I've got after rights in my lower

640
00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:43.039
back and it plays up, you know, whenever I move.

641
00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:47.639
Basically it's hurting now I say hurting, but it's I

642
00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:50.480
can feel it now and when I walk and when

643
00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:53.199
I sit down for too long, so when I walk,

644
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:59.679
I can feel it. So sometimes by focusing on all

645
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:06.599
of my body movement it eases that. It kind of

646
00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:10.519
reminds me that I've got a whole body that has feeling,

647
00:58:11.559 --> 00:58:19.360
not just that one part, and included in that meditation

648
00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:23.039
as well as being aware of Vinnie, because I have

649
00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:25.079
to be aware of what he's up to, and I

650
00:58:25.119 --> 00:58:28.840
need to also be aware of my surroundings. But I'd

651
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:32.079
say that's part of the meditation, and that's my natural

652
00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:36.000
state is to be perhaps too aware of my surroundings

653
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:40.679
to be honest. But the way you know, the weather,

654
00:58:40.840 --> 00:58:46.480
the wind, the air, the feeling the wind on my face,

655
00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:52.400
the feeling of breathing, and my lungs, the temperature on

656
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:58.079
my hands, on my face, the sun may be shine in,

657
00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:01.480
and the just little things that the sounds of the

658
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:06.239
birds or the wind or the traffic, just little things

659
00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:12.920
or dogs in the background, all that stuff. In fact,

660
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:15.880
even like next door, like you know, with all the

661
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:20.079
kids and the dogs barking over there, that is fine.

662
00:59:20.199 --> 00:59:24.320
When I'm meditating, I don't need quiet. I just incorporate

663
00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:27.760
it into the meditation and just be one with it.

664
00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:33.199
I should try and do that when I do a recording. Really,

665
00:59:33.239 --> 00:59:34.840
shouldn't I be one?

666
00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:36.239
Be one?

667
00:59:36.360 --> 00:59:45.719
My son. I don't do so much traditional meditation anymore,

668
00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:49.880
although I'm kind of I did meditate the other day.

669
00:59:50.519 --> 00:59:54.800
I could perhaps do with it, but I do. I

670
00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:57.440
like to walk in meditation because I do it every time.

671
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:01.639
Unless I'm talking to someone, then I'm not. If I'm

672
01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:06.079
on my own with him and we just walk in slowly.

673
01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:14.960
I mean, it's probably not the most deep meditation practice

674
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:22.400
that there is a meditation practice. There. There is an

675
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:30.719
intention to slow things down, to allow things to slow down.

676
01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:36.039
So I'm not trying to force my breathing to become

677
01:00:36.159 --> 01:00:41.320
deeper and slower. I allow my body, my mind, you know,

678
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:46.039
allowed for that to happen, and I don't try and

679
01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:49.559
cause my mind to slow down and for the thoughts

680
01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:56.639
to maybe vanish or just dissapey or slow. But I'm

681
01:00:56.679 --> 01:01:04.800
open to that happening. See, Yeah, it's quite nice. I

682
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:14.920
do that every day if I can. You know, sometimes

683
01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:17.480
I can't, not be honest, sometimes I'm not in the

684
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:21.039
right frame of my mind. But if I can, I will.

685
01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:26.920
It's better when there's no one else around, because I

686
01:01:26.960 --> 01:01:30.360
do especially if I if I can walk really slow,

687
01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:34.559
like super slow, if there's no one around, it doesn't

688
01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:40.639
look quite so weird. But when there's people around, I

689
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:45.679
walk at very very slow pace anyway, But there's an

690
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:51.599
even slower pace with meditation, with meditative walking, and it

691
01:01:51.719 --> 01:01:56.039
can be and it can be literally almost micro movements.

692
01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:07.159
I don't really really do that when I'm out, but

693
01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:11.679
I do focus on my feet when I'm walk in,

694
01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:18.760
I focus on my balance. I focus on my back,

695
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.039
not just my lower back, but also my upper back,

696
01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:30.960
my shoulders, my posture, my neck, just noticing how I feel.

697
01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:41.360
And that's my connection with chigung and meditation could like

698
01:02:41.440 --> 01:02:46.840
the moving walking, meditation you could say is chickum. You

699
01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:53.000
could say it is tai chi. Oh No, I'm not

700
01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:55.679
an expert on any of this stuff. I do know

701
01:02:55.760 --> 01:02:58.719
more about meditation than I know about tai chi or chickum.

702
01:03:01.320 --> 01:03:06.639
I think it's all really really good stuff. And in

703
01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:11.400
some ways, I think tai chi and chigung because it's

704
01:03:11.400 --> 01:03:17.840
a movement, it's got an extra dimension added to it.

705
01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:23.639
I'm never going to be able to. I say I'm

706
01:03:23.679 --> 01:03:25.760
never going to because I tried for years to do

707
01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:30.800
this and it didn't work. So sitting on a cushion

708
01:03:31.679 --> 01:03:34.440
isn't something I can do on the floor on a cushion.

709
01:03:34.559 --> 01:03:38.960
Note I tried it from I think I did it

710
01:03:39.039 --> 01:03:46.400
all the way from November two thousand and two to

711
01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:54.440
two thousand and four, maybe even two thousand and five. Seriously,

712
01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:59.320
I tried for years to sit on a cushion. I

713
01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:02.800
did sit for years and then have to get up

714
01:04:02.840 --> 01:04:05.280
and see it on a chair. And I was just

715
01:04:05.360 --> 01:04:10.440
in pain for that whole time. And eventually, I mean

716
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:12.920
that they tried every which way. At one point, at

717
01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:16.599
about seventeen chushions, I had scaffold in holding me up,

718
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:22.840
but it still didn't work. I had a leastic band

719
01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:27.639
tied to me ed so I didn't fall off. I

720
01:04:27.679 --> 01:04:39.400
don't know, but yeah, I like the idea of movement.

721
01:04:40.119 --> 01:04:44.480
A little bit of movement is nice. Doesn't have to

722
01:04:44.480 --> 01:04:46.679
be the whole body. I mean, tie cheek can be

723
01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:56.519
used by anyone who can has access to movement of

724
01:04:56.559 --> 01:04:59.800
some of their limbs. So if someone was in a wheelchair,

725
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:03.039
still be able to do it with their hands or

726
01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:06.360
you know, there's going to be limitations, I suppose if

727
01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:14.400
someone's unable to move their body. But I'm guessing meditation

728
01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:17.960
would be fine in that situation. But I imagine, and you know,

729
01:05:18.239 --> 01:05:26.360
imagining doing the movements would be calming, imagining doing tai

730
01:05:26.480 --> 01:05:35.119
chi in your mind, or doing chigun chikung chigum. But yeah,

731
01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:41.599
I don't know enough about it. But our two because

732
01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:44.880
tai chi I did tai chi with when I did

733
01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:50.519
wing Chun kung fu in two thousand and four. He

734
01:05:50.639 --> 01:05:54.840
taught wing chun. He taught g kundu, and he also

735
01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:58.360
taught tai chi, and he basically taught that tai chi

736
01:05:58.559 --> 01:06:01.039
was just a slow down version of a fighting style.

737
01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:08.440
You know, kicks, punches, blocks and all that stuff. So

738
01:06:08.480 --> 01:06:17.079
it's really just a very slow version of a form

739
01:06:17.599 --> 01:06:24.519
which would be or a a kater sometimes it's called

740
01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:31.440
it's just a mixture of movements where it's blocking and

741
01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:35.639
punching and then kicking, then sweeping, and you know, all

742
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:38.800
kinds of like movements. And as the grades go up

743
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:44.480
in like karate or whatever discipline, the katers or the

744
01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:50.480
forms become more and more complicated. So it's almost like

745
01:06:50.719 --> 01:06:59.400
an fighting an invisible opponent or multiple invisible opponents. The

746
01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:04.440
tie chee seems to be doing that, but invisible opponents

747
01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:14.119
that are really slow. So yeah, I'd recommend both for all,

748
01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:22.440
including meditation, because it's so useful, healthy healing. It's great stuff.

749
01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:27.920
I'm making myself want to go back to meditation, BlimE me.

750
01:07:29.480 --> 01:07:32.119
So thank you for that. So, Ben and Maria, I

751
01:07:32.159 --> 01:07:38.199
have answered both of your questions. Yeah, Hope asks me

752
01:07:40.679 --> 01:07:47.119
the houses in Britain are older than in Canada. Do

753
01:07:47.159 --> 01:07:52.320
you think they're more haunted? Do you think your grouping

754
01:07:52.360 --> 01:07:56.599
of flats is haunted? And have you ever lived in

755
01:07:56.639 --> 01:08:06.960
a place you thought was haunted? And I don't know, really,

756
01:08:07.039 --> 01:08:11.400
I don't know how to answer that. I don't I

757
01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:18.239
don't think so. I mean the big house I used

758
01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:21.079
to live in where I'm between ages of nine and fifteen,

759
01:08:22.159 --> 01:08:29.039
with my family. Didn't have a good atmosphere in there.

760
01:08:30.159 --> 01:08:31.880
I'm talking when there was no one else in the house,

761
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:37.119
just me. I didn't feel I didn't like it. I

762
01:08:37.159 --> 01:08:39.399
was at the top of the stairs in the you know,

763
01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:41.560
in the well. I was in a room at the

764
01:08:41.600 --> 01:08:45.039
top of the stairs, and that was there was two

765
01:08:45.079 --> 01:08:52.000
sets of stairs, and I didn't like it. I didn't

766
01:08:52.199 --> 01:09:04.800
didn't get a good feeling about the place. Yeahs as

767
01:09:04.840 --> 01:09:09.840
for see anything, I don't. Don't you know anything like that,

768
01:09:09.840 --> 01:09:16.239
which not really ever happened. So, I mean, I know

769
01:09:16.359 --> 01:09:20.880
that you know, everything's energy and most there's more stuff

770
01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:24.880
we can't see than what we can see all of

771
01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:27.800
the you know, I'm looking around the room and that

772
01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:32.239
big gap, I say, big gap. I'm not living in

773
01:09:32.239 --> 01:09:36.000
a mansion, but that space between me and this desk

774
01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:39.359
and the television on the other side of the room

775
01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:46.640
is full of trillions and trillions and trillions and particles

776
01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:53.399
of energy, energy waves and all kinds of stuff that

777
01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:57.239
I'm never going to see or hear or feel, not

778
01:09:57.359 --> 01:10:02.359
consciously anyway. So I never try not to sort of,

779
01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:04.720
when I get serious, I try not to like poo

780
01:10:04.800 --> 01:10:10.319
poo other people's beliefs and things, because there's more stuff

781
01:10:10.319 --> 01:10:13.840
that I don't know than I do know, and that

782
01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:16.640
is always going to be the case my entire life.

783
01:10:18.880 --> 01:10:21.800
For everything I know, there's billions of things that I

784
01:10:21.840 --> 01:10:26.880
don't know, maybe trillions of things I don't know, so

785
01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:30.079
and I'm okay with that. I can't know everything. I

786
01:10:30.119 --> 01:10:34.239
don't want to know everything. Sometimes I want to know

787
01:10:34.279 --> 01:10:42.800
everything about specific subjects, but generally I don't know. I

788
01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:47.000
don't have any Yeah, I mean, my flat's haunted with

789
01:10:47.079 --> 01:10:50.960
a little Jack Russell, and before that it was haunted

790
01:10:51.039 --> 01:10:57.239
by a little ferrit called Andre and an the occasional mice.

791
01:10:58.239 --> 01:11:06.720
But generally, yeah, it's so, it wouldn't bother me. It's

792
01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:09.159
the neighbors. As long as the neighbors are quiet, I

793
01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:12.880
don't really care what else happens. As long as everything everything,

794
01:11:12.960 --> 01:11:15.239
everyone's safe, and that sort of rocking with the house

795
01:11:15.319 --> 01:11:22.159
for so Yeah, No, I think the answer to that

796
01:11:22.279 --> 01:11:27.560
is no. There was one incident in that house I

797
01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:32.199
was telling you about. We'd only lived there for a

798
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:36.840
little while and my dad had put a carpet down

799
01:11:37.760 --> 01:11:43.800
and the carpets started to rise on its own, and

800
01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:49.479
that was strange. But I think my dad sorts like

801
01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:53.680
the air was going through the sciring boards or something

802
01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:56.600
like that. But that was very weird. It didn't happen

803
01:11:56.600 --> 01:12:08.119
in any other room. Then there was that poltergeist. Yeah,

804
01:12:09.119 --> 01:12:15.640
not not nothing really, it was just yeah, I just

805
01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:18.199
I did I don't know, I just didn't. I mean,

806
01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:22.640
I've lived in a literally have lived in a mansion,

807
01:12:22.800 --> 01:12:26.000
I guess technically, or I lived in the children's home

808
01:12:26.199 --> 01:12:36.199
in South End, huge building, huge like mentioned size in

809
01:12:36.239 --> 01:12:42.880
a sense, like absolutely massive, big grounds and massive building.

810
01:12:43.119 --> 01:12:50.039
Really you know. So, but I don't remember ever anything

811
01:12:50.119 --> 01:12:58.800
happening anything spooky, paranormal or anything like that there. And

812
01:12:58.840 --> 01:13:03.680
that building was prob there for a good five six

813
01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:08.079
hundred years probably in fact, I imagine when it was

814
01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:13.680
first built, it probably was I mentioned, or a hospital

815
01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:18.279
or something like that. Big, a big, old building. So yeah,

816
01:13:18.439 --> 01:13:27.680
I'm no, he's the answer. Really, the flats are fine.

817
01:13:28.600 --> 01:13:30.479
I mean I don't have access really to any of

818
01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:33.239
the other flats. So I talked to a couple of

819
01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:37.399
the other tenants. Now I've got two new people moving in,

820
01:13:37.439 --> 01:13:42.079
so I don't know them, and I speak to one

821
01:13:42.479 --> 01:13:44.680
one of the other tenants that I speak to him

822
01:13:44.680 --> 01:13:46.359
every now and then. I don't see him very often.

823
01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:51.399
And the other two one that I know, I speak

824
01:13:51.439 --> 01:13:57.000
to them every now and then, but really I don't.

825
01:13:57.159 --> 01:14:01.680
It's kind of things are changing around here than two

826
01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:05.119
new flats, two new people that moved in. I don't

827
01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:10.359
know them, and it's you know, things changed and people

828
01:14:10.399 --> 01:14:17.640
move on, and it's it's all changing. Whether or not

829
01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:18.319
they're haunted.

830
01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:18.840
I don't know.

831
01:14:23.319 --> 01:14:30.399
No, I don't think so. So mhm. So I only

832
01:14:30.439 --> 01:14:33.600
had three people leaving messages for questions, but I did

833
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:38.359
get one, one, two, three, four, five, six. I had

834
01:14:38.439 --> 01:14:43.520
six questions. I'm not sure if I've answered them very well.

835
01:14:43.960 --> 01:14:46.960
I'm not sure if I'm not sure if I ever

836
01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:52.039
answered questions very well. I never really asked, do I

837
01:14:52.199 --> 01:14:57.960
you know? I ordered something on Uber eats, and because

838
01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:00.319
I'm trying to get I'm trying to get stocked up

839
01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:03.640
for not necessarily just for the end of the year,

840
01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:08.079
but for the future, just to prepare me for what's

841
01:15:08.119 --> 01:15:13.680
to come. And I so I've been getting like toilet

842
01:15:13.760 --> 01:15:19.760
roll and washing up liquid and black bin bags and

843
01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:22.079
just started collecting stuff so that I've got enough to

844
01:15:22.159 --> 01:15:28.000
last me hopefully for another year if I can. And

845
01:15:28.039 --> 01:15:34.800
so I ordered ten bottles of shampoo. You know how

846
01:15:34.800 --> 01:15:39.600
many they delivered one. I ordered a couple of other things,

847
01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:45.319
but not much. They delivered one bottle of shampoo. The

848
01:15:45.359 --> 01:15:47.479
whole point of it was to get ten, so that

849
01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:50.880
would last me. Bearing in mind I'm pretty much bored

850
01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:53.760
most of the time. That's going to last me a year.

851
01:15:54.079 --> 01:15:58.119
Ten bottles of shampoo. But no, no, no, no, no,

852
01:15:58.199 --> 01:16:04.359
only one. I couldn't believe it never been so angry,

853
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:09.479
So I do believe that is it for today. Thank

854
01:16:09.520 --> 01:16:13.359
you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself, because

855
01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:17.279
you do deserve to be happy. Be gentle of yourself.

856
01:16:17.279 --> 01:16:21.520
You deserve to feel safe. Lots of love.

857
01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:24.159
Bye.

858
01:16:49.000 --> 01:17:03.560
Relax in a more deep and meaningful way. Maybe in

859
01:17:03.600 --> 01:17:09.159
a way that can not just allow you to feel

860
01:17:10.520 --> 01:17:19.760
calmer now and throughout the time we've spend together here,

861
01:17:21.800 --> 01:17:27.479
not just relaxed at the end of the recording when

862
01:17:27.479 --> 01:17:34.159
it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort

863
01:17:34.359 --> 01:17:49.239
and peace, but also I think it would be nice

864
01:17:49.359 --> 01:18:09.159
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after

865
01:18:09.239 --> 01:18:19.840
the recording has ended, so that you can still benefit

866
01:18:22.680 --> 01:18:29.960
from listening to my voice. Maybe in a few hours time,

867
01:18:31.880 --> 01:18:45.439
perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially if you

868
01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:50.199
find like some people do and myself as well, I

869
01:18:50.319 --> 01:18:57.079
sometimes I find one particular recording that really resonates with me,

870
01:19:01.439 --> 01:19:03.920
and I just listened to it over and over again

871
01:19:06.079 --> 01:19:19.119
every morning, every evening. There was this recording from We're

872
01:19:19.119 --> 01:19:24.880
going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis,

873
01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:30.279
but it was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,

874
01:19:32.760 --> 01:19:37.920
and I managed to find it again and it still

875
01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:43.600
has the same effect on me. And part of it

876
01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:58.600
was the person's voice relaxed me just felt so peaceful,

877
01:20:00.600 --> 01:20:07.159
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

878
01:20:07.199 --> 01:20:17.880
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even

879
01:20:18.640 --> 01:20:27.079
pressing the play button that since I've done that pressed

880
01:20:27.119 --> 01:20:35.680
the play button. This was in the days of CD

881
01:20:35.880 --> 01:20:44.560
players press the play button. In fact, it might have

882
01:20:44.600 --> 01:20:48.960
even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on

883
01:20:49.000 --> 01:21:01.840
the bed and then even without necessarily listening to her

884
01:21:02.039 --> 01:21:15.000
words because I had them memorized. Really, it was as

885
01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:25.720
if my body knew exactly what to do, and the

886
01:21:25.880 --> 01:21:47.880
muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember

887
01:21:48.000 --> 01:22:02.079
my mind would slow down. Now now I was listening

888
01:22:02.079 --> 01:22:08.880
to this recording, in the early days of learning hypnosis,

889
01:22:11.439 --> 01:22:19.279
and long before I ever made any videos or audio

890
01:22:19.319 --> 01:22:24.079
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two

891
01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:40.199
thousand and six. But I knew, I knew how helpful

892
01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:53.560
I found being able to just let go, to have

893
01:22:53.720 --> 01:23:06.600
that trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing

894
01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:14.560
that it's going to be just as relaxing, if not

895
01:23:14.800 --> 01:23:24.119
more so. Each time you hear my voice, you may

896
01:23:24.119 --> 01:23:35.720
feel the same. Some people have been listening to me

897
01:23:35.960 --> 01:23:49.880
for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty

898
01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:57.920
four hours a day, but maybe people come back. Some

899
01:23:57.920 --> 01:24:12.800
people may be listen every day. That's something that I

900
01:24:12.840 --> 01:24:28.880
do which you may not realize by listening, is when

901
01:24:29.119 --> 01:24:44.640
I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also am

902
01:24:44.880 --> 01:24:58.520
affected by the words that I say. So if I

903
01:24:58.680 --> 01:25:06.079
said to you, focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,

904
01:25:09.560 --> 01:25:17.479
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be

905
01:25:17.560 --> 01:25:35.680
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,

906
01:25:38.439 --> 01:25:47.960
and maybe notice the difference between each hand, perhaps notice

907
01:25:48.079 --> 01:25:54.159
the air in the room, the temperature of the room.

908
01:25:56.039 --> 01:26:06.399
On the backs of your hands, you may start to

909
01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:15.079
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even

910
01:26:15.119 --> 01:26:19.359
though there may not be any type of breeze at

911
01:26:19.399 --> 01:26:32.359
all where you are right now. And as you become

912
01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:47.399
aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed

913
01:26:47.680 --> 01:27:11.439
my hands are feeling now, and when it comes to

914
01:27:13.000 --> 01:27:19.039
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason

915
01:27:19.359 --> 01:27:35.680
you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.

916
01:27:40.319 --> 01:27:56.840
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times

917
01:27:58.760 --> 01:28:12.920
I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I

918
01:28:13.079 --> 01:28:24.399
carry on talking and it's suddenly when I listen back

919
01:28:24.600 --> 01:28:33.600
to do the editing, I hear snoring, and I think,

920
01:28:34.000 --> 01:28:43.800
I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. Is it snoring?

921
01:28:44.119 --> 01:28:50.880
Was a pig turned up? That's why I sound like

922
01:28:50.920 --> 01:29:02.039
when I snore, I get really into the whole experience.

923
01:29:09.960 --> 01:29:19.039
I don't know how you feel. How relaxed do you

924
01:29:19.119 --> 01:29:30.079
feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands.

925
01:29:45.119 --> 01:29:57.359
I have noticed more and more that the more relaxed,

926
01:29:59.079 --> 01:30:14.920
deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.

927
01:30:21.520 --> 01:30:38.159
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows

928
01:30:38.199 --> 01:31:09.279
you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing on your breath however,

929
01:31:09.520 --> 01:31:38.319
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

930
01:31:38.520 --> 01:32:00.439
so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smooth lead

931
01:32:27.920 --> 01:32:46.800
Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed,

932
01:32:52.800 --> 01:33:05.680
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

933
01:33:05.960 --> 01:33:39.479
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. And it feels

934
01:33:39.600 --> 01:34:06.039
nice too, if nothing else, just taking some time away

935
01:34:06.079 --> 01:34:49.399
from everything, enjoying that feeling of peace serenity with a

936
01:34:49.720 --> 01:35:18.159
joyful heart. Time seems to just.

937
01:35:19.880 --> 01:35:21.399
Drip by.

938
01:35:25.720 --> 01:36:15.560
So very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to

939
01:36:16.439 --> 01:37:13.399
any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free, noticing that

940
01:37:20.960 --> 01:38:07.479
your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because nothing really

941
01:38:07.720 --> 01:38:38.279
requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical sensations of

942
01:38:38.479 --> 01:38:51.439
allowing the stress to drip out of your body, drippear

943
01:38:51.760 --> 01:39:15.720
out of every part of your body and being released

944
01:39:21.000 --> 01:40:00.800
from your brain, longe your mind slowly but surely, the

945
01:40:00.920 --> 01:40:38.000
muscles in your legs relax res rex so very deeply,

946
01:40:47.800 --> 01:41:18.800
relax so deeply, and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

947
01:41:18.880 --> 01:41:43.439
your arms and shoulders deepening each part of your body

948
01:41:46.720 --> 01:41:53.560
further and deeper.

949
01:41:59.560 --> 01:42:00.039
Mm hm.

950
01:42:04.159 --> 01:42:26.119
And deeper noticine, the feelings in the back of your neck,

951
01:42:49.279 --> 01:43:28.680
the feelings in your wrists, muscles, in front of your body,

952
01:43:39.039 --> 01:44:22.520
I will say, filing, peaceful, deeply, there's a sense of

953
01:44:22.800 --> 01:45:07.279
peace spreads through your very col even when you focus

954
01:45:07.439 --> 01:46:27.439
on your mind. Her mind becomes be and slower, even deeper, relaxing,

955
01:46:30.680 --> 01:47:39.960
so fairy, slow stomach, peace fall in your stomach. He'll back. Notice.

956
01:47:47.560 --> 01:48:06.039
Notice how relaxed you never feel in the hole of

957
01:48:06.159 --> 01:48:38.840
your back. In a spy from your brain, all the

958
01:48:38.920 --> 01:48:47.600
way down the middle of your back, sending and receiving

959
01:48:50.000 --> 01:49:21.880
millions of messages every day, deep comfort, increasing deeply relaxed

960
01:49:51.960 --> 01:50:26.640
you knees, relax spreading those signals down your spine or

961
01:50:26.720 --> 01:50:50.119
cord into air, every part of your body, your shins

962
01:50:50.279 --> 01:51:41.039
and your calf, muscles, your elbows, Feelings of peace and

963
01:51:41.199 --> 01:51:59.239
tranquility spreading through your body, tips of your toes to

964
01:51:59.359 --> 01:52:11.359
your eye, Yes, your fingers, all the way You'll know it. Back,

965
01:52:23.239 --> 01:53:19.960
letting her read, letting her pace, hm, drift in mind,

966
01:53:24.439 --> 01:53:48.039
just wandering away, happy to let go, let go completely,

967
01:53:50.479 --> 01:54:48.359
let go, said tranquil, the whole body enjoying a sense

968
01:55:13.159 --> 01:57:14.000
listening that hey more, Hey, enjoy the space, this space.

969
01:57:16.439 --> 01:57:17.560
Of peace.

970
01:57:20.760 --> 01:59:42.720
And safety, surery relaxed as the lad letting go. Maybe

971
01:59:42.960 --> 01:59:51.840
we can just focus on the different parts of your body,

972
01:59:54.840 --> 02:01:04.319
just to notice you forelhead and your eyes une so loose,

973
02:01:23.960 --> 02:02:39.359
noticing the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, dress day,

974
02:02:42.960 --> 02:02:44.439
dress day.

975
02:02:56.800 --> 02:02:57.560
He's on.

976
02:02:59.439 --> 02:04:22.840
And it's paste to breeze so much ease, yeah loose.

977
02:04:44.159 --> 02:04:55.720
You may have you may not have noticed your mind

978
02:04:56.439 --> 02:05:57.640
drifted peaceful, move any even more deeply in the direction

979
02:05:57.800 --> 02:07:33.520
of total blissful pace, blisshul pace terreft to to pace,

980
02:08:04.279 --> 02:08:59.720
so calm, let him go, peace of mind, re boody,

981
02:09:17.079 --> 02:10:13.800
so relaxed, c relaxed. A body feels almost invisible, so

982
02:10:14.520 --> 02:11:34.279
very relaxed, peaceful, so paceful, relax let go. So and

983
02:11:34.399 --> 02:11:41.720
you could start to notice that you are feeling more relaxed,

984
02:11:44.680 --> 02:11:54.479
even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon that

985
02:11:55.800 --> 02:12:01.920
sense of physical comfort that is grown within you throughout

986
02:12:02.000 --> 02:12:14.840
your body, and your mind starts to slow down, And

987
02:12:14.920 --> 02:12:22.439
that could be almost in recognition of I guess my

988
02:12:22.680 --> 02:12:37.520
speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer.

989
02:12:40.960 --> 02:12:48.960
Just by listening to my voice, you give yourself an

990
02:12:48.960 --> 02:12:57.000
opportunity to take a break from the day, take a

991
02:12:57.000 --> 02:13:04.680
break from your life as it is, and to give

992
02:13:04.720 --> 02:13:13.239
yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time off,

993
02:13:15.399 --> 02:13:20.800
and to allow your body to relax and allow your

994
02:13:20.920 --> 02:13:31.560
mind to slow down, which in turn releases the tension

995
02:13:33.000 --> 02:13:42.159
any stresses that you had in your body. It's almost

996
02:13:42.159 --> 02:13:46.359
as if the parts of your body just open up,

997
02:13:47.640 --> 02:13:59.319
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing

998
02:14:00.159 --> 02:14:09.680
that negativity with positive, healing energy, which then fills your

999
02:14:09.720 --> 02:14:21.600
body up and your mind to also starts to appreciate

1000
02:14:22.439 --> 02:14:35.800
those feelings of increasing confidence and an almost uplifting feeling,

1001
02:14:37.840 --> 02:14:51.920
positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like

1002
02:14:52.000 --> 02:15:02.279
a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just

1003
02:15:05.840 --> 02:15:14.640
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however

1004
02:15:14.720 --> 02:15:25.000
long you want it to be, just rest and allow

1005
02:15:27.560 --> 02:15:37.520
your mind and your body to almost reset itself to

1006
02:15:37.680 --> 02:15:53.880
the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more

1007
02:15:54.000 --> 02:16:07.479
room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around

1008
02:16:07.680 --> 02:16:15.920
your body and into your mind, almost as if your

1009
02:16:16.039 --> 02:16:26.640
mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each

1010
02:16:26.800 --> 02:16:42.440
other with that growing positivity and calmness, and it feels nice,

1011
02:16:42.760 --> 02:16:48.719
really does feel nice to know that you are the

1012
02:16:48.760 --> 02:17:02.079
one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort and

1013
02:17:02.280 --> 02:17:17.120
to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout your body.

1014
02:17:23.159 --> 02:17:28.520
And as I focus on each part of your body,

1015
02:17:30.879 --> 02:17:42.959
you can notice that that part becomes even more relaxed

1016
02:17:44.959 --> 02:17:53.840
just by focusing on it. It becomes even more calm

1017
02:17:54.040 --> 02:18:04.799
and comfortable, just by focusing. And as I move down

1018
02:18:05.000 --> 02:18:12.479
your body, starting at your head, the parts that you

1019
02:18:12.520 --> 02:18:22.520
have already focused on will continue to relax deeply and

1020
02:18:22.600 --> 02:18:28.719
those parts that have not yet focused on or just

1021
02:18:28.840 --> 02:18:41.120
automatically release any remain intention in anticipation of even more

1022
02:18:41.840 --> 02:18:53.680
comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start by

1023
02:18:53.719 --> 02:19:01.479
focusing on your forehead. Just being aware the feelings of

1024
02:19:01.559 --> 02:19:11.840
your forehead and any background sounds like mister Herbert o

1025
02:19:11.959 --> 02:19:17.319
Pigeon can just allow you to feel even more relaxed.

1026
02:19:21.200 --> 02:19:27.319
Just means you're in the moment. This isn't this isn't

1027
02:19:27.360 --> 02:19:35.360
a sterile environment. This is the world. I live in

1028
02:19:35.440 --> 02:19:47.760
the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around. So

1029
02:19:47.799 --> 02:19:53.000
as you focus on your forehead, just notice how it

1030
02:19:53.239 --> 02:20:02.879
becomes even more relaxed as your focus yes only on

1031
02:20:03.079 --> 02:20:12.719
my voice and that part of your body moving down

1032
02:20:12.879 --> 02:20:25.440
to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your

1033
02:20:25.440 --> 02:20:33.399
eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,

1034
02:20:36.680 --> 02:20:47.360
and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely. Moving

1035
02:20:47.440 --> 02:20:54.639
your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1036
02:20:55.840 --> 02:21:03.799
your teeth, and your guns, all of your mouth relaxing,

1037
02:21:07.280 --> 02:21:17.559
calm and lease. As you focus now on your jaw,

1038
02:21:20.600 --> 02:21:24.159
not just the parts of your jaw near your mouth

1039
02:21:24.959 --> 02:21:29.280
and your chin, but all the way up the size

1040
02:21:29.319 --> 02:21:35.840
of your face to your ears, the hole of your

1041
02:21:35.920 --> 02:21:45.920
jaw feeding more relaxed.

1042
02:21:49.159 --> 02:21:58.200
And calm.

1043
02:21:58.239 --> 02:22:07.399
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and

1044
02:22:07.440 --> 02:22:20.479
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The side of

1045
02:22:20.559 --> 02:22:29.520
your neck, right and left side of your neck relax

1046
02:22:30.000 --> 02:22:45.239
and loose and calm. And now the back of your neck,

1047
02:22:48.520 --> 02:22:58.520
focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of

1048
02:22:58.719 --> 02:23:05.639
any tension that may have been there before, and enjoying

1049
02:23:05.959 --> 02:23:15.520
that sense of increasing comfort and release.

1050
02:23:18.239 --> 02:23:22.239
Then you can experience in the back of your neck,

1051
02:23:28.559 --> 02:23:30.920
moving down your back.

1052
02:23:33.000 --> 02:23:37.799
And moving either side of your spine right from the

1053
02:23:37.840 --> 02:23:43.200
top of your back all the way down to the

1054
02:23:43.239 --> 02:24:00.760
bottom of your back, down to your lower back. As

1055
02:24:00.799 --> 02:24:08.280
you move up and down your spine, you can feel

1056
02:24:08.360 --> 02:24:16.159
the muscles either side of your spine relaxing even more.

1057
02:24:23.639 --> 02:24:30.440
And as those muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts

1058
02:24:30.479 --> 02:24:40.600
to spread outwards from your spine into both sides of

1059
02:24:40.680 --> 02:24:47.799
your back, the top of your back, the middle end

1060
02:24:47.840 --> 02:24:57.319
your lower back. And as you scan gently and slowly

1061
02:24:58.559 --> 02:25:03.840
up and down your back, there's the muscles in the

1062
02:25:03.920 --> 02:25:13.799
top of your back relax and become looser. The muscles

1063
02:25:13.920 --> 02:25:19.559
in the middle of your back also seem to just

1064
02:25:20.000 --> 02:25:34.520
almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting, and

1065
02:25:34.680 --> 02:25:36.079
in your lower back.

1066
02:25:39.520 --> 02:25:40.360
There seems to be.

1067
02:25:40.280 --> 02:25:54.719
An extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips.

1068
02:25:56.959 --> 02:26:04.840
Sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

1069
02:26:05.000 --> 02:26:13.719
area where your cosix are, and into your buttocks, and

1070
02:26:13.840 --> 02:26:23.079
a wise, muscles that spread bring your law back into

1071
02:26:23.120 --> 02:26:36.479
your hip area start to melt, start to ready, let

1072
02:26:36.559 --> 02:26:48.159
go and you know where about to focus on your shoulders.

1073
02:26:49.879 --> 02:26:59.879
Your back and your spine will continue to let go, okay,

1074
02:27:00.040 --> 02:27:15.639
continue to relax so calmly, and then she focus on

1075
02:27:15.719 --> 02:27:28.639
your shoulders. You may notice they're already feeding really loose,

1076
02:27:33.440 --> 02:27:35.200
they're already.

1077
02:27:37.520 --> 02:27:50.479
Feeding calm I.

1078
02:27:50.799 --> 02:28:03.120
Feeling those muscles the move from your neck into your

1079
02:28:03.159 --> 02:28:21.920
shoulders feels so soft and gentle, so smooth.

1080
02:28:27.479 --> 02:28:39.840
And calm, And.

1081
02:28:39.920 --> 02:28:52.799
The feeling in your shoulders seems to spread deep into

1082
02:28:52.840 --> 02:29:03.280
your shoulders, a sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1083
02:29:03.600 --> 02:29:20.040
into your muscles, but also relaxing with the bones and

1084
02:29:20.280 --> 02:29:28.559
moving all the way to underneath your arms, relaxing a

1085
02:29:28.680 --> 02:29:34.000
whole area between the tops of your shoulders and underneath

1086
02:29:34.040 --> 02:29:53.120
your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and comfortable in

1087
02:29:53.280 --> 02:29:59.079
your shoulders, which sense that.

1088
02:30:01.280 --> 02:30:03.319
Deep healing.

1089
02:30:06.280 --> 02:30:23.799
Message into your arms. You may feel almost as if

1090
02:30:23.840 --> 02:30:25.159
your arms are not.

1091
02:30:25.200 --> 02:30:25.760
Even that.

1092
02:30:27.440 --> 02:31:04.520
Because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so calm, So

1093
02:31:11.399 --> 02:31:30.399
this the feeling spreading all way down your arms to elbows,

1094
02:31:33.959 --> 02:31:55.559
including your elbows, comfort spreads.

1095
02:31:54.479 --> 02:31:55.239
Your way.

1096
02:31:57.799 --> 02:32:16.680
Into wrists, your forarments, and your wrists so heavy yet

Everything.

1112
02:43:53.200 --> 02:43:59.200
So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down

1113
02:43:59.239 --> 02:44:07.399
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

1114
02:44:08.159 --> 02:44:14.639
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

1115
02:44:14.680 --> 02:44:24.079
and each step represents a level of comfort. Each step

1116
02:44:24.360 --> 02:44:39.920
represents a deepening of that comfort and the furthes you

1117
02:44:40.040 --> 02:44:46.159
walk down those steps deeper and more relaxed you feel.

1118
02:44:52.799 --> 02:47:54.920
So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteenhhhhhhhh.

1119
02:48:43.200 --> 02:49:26.799
Three four.

1120
02:50:26.399 --> 02:59:45.600
Four too well, No, eight, seven six five.

1121
03:00:03.600 --> 03:04:04.799
Us unt.

1122
03:05:32.639 --> 03:05:49.760
Now, as you focus on your lines, we're gonna count

1123
03:05:49.840 --> 03:06:00.879
down from ten down to one. Focus it just on

1124
03:06:01.040 --> 03:06:12.000
your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your

1125
03:06:12.079 --> 03:06:30.799
eye walls themselves, our whole area that makes up your eye.

1126
03:06:32.000 --> 03:06:39.479
And as we count down from ten down to one,

1127
03:06:39.840 --> 03:06:53.799
whilst focusing on your eyes, you become twice is relaxed

1128
03:06:56.000 --> 03:07:09.079
with each number counting down that you may find the

1129
03:07:09.200 --> 03:07:15.719
all you want to do is just drift off to sleep.

1130
03:07:18.680 --> 03:07:25.319
And if that's what you want, then just allow yourself

1131
03:07:25.399 --> 03:07:40.079
to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going

1132
03:07:40.159 --> 03:07:59.319
to begin counting down from ten down to one right now, ten.

1133
03:08:25.200 --> 03:12:16.559

One.

1137
03:17:46.600 --> 03:17:49.559
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1138
03:17:49.600 --> 03:17:53.559
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1139
03:17:53.840 --> 03:18:03.559
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1140
03:18:03.600 --> 03:18:07.440
little bit of pressure. They're like, you're counting down from

1141
03:18:07.479 --> 03:18:10.280
ten to one, would you expect me to do? Man,

1142
03:18:11.120 --> 03:18:14.840
expect me to STI go with floppy just because you're

1143
03:18:14.879 --> 03:18:24.280
counting down. You can try it again, but this time

1144
03:18:24.319 --> 03:18:30.600
I'll go a bit slower this time, and you focus

1145
03:18:30.719 --> 03:18:35.360
on the whole of your body before we focus on

1146
03:18:35.399 --> 03:18:45.799
your legs. Just notice how your body does start to

1147
03:18:46.280 --> 03:18:57.520
feel more relaxed with every number that I count down

1148
03:19:00.840 --> 03:20:30.280
ten nine eight seven six five four three two one,

1149
03:20:41.600 --> 03:20:47.319
And just notice how how you feel generally, how your

1150
03:20:47.319 --> 03:21:02.239
body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting down from

1151
03:21:02.280 --> 03:21:10.120
ten to one. It's that space that you have that

1152
03:21:12.559 --> 03:21:33.479
space between being active physically or mentally to just sitting

1153
03:21:33.680 --> 03:21:38.520
or lying down, just being there, not doing anything, not

1154
03:21:38.799 --> 03:21:45.840
saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So it

1155
03:21:45.920 --> 03:21:49.520
opens up a space, you know, a bit of a space,

1156
03:21:50.479 --> 03:22:00.319
a gap. And the more I came down for ten

1157
03:22:00.399 --> 03:22:07.799
to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So there's that

1158
03:22:08.000 --> 03:22:20.600
gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling,

1159
03:22:26.159 --> 03:22:34.879
and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally,

1160
03:22:35.559 --> 03:22:36.639
moves them.

1161
03:22:38.159 --> 03:22:40.159
Away.

1162
03:22:45.319 --> 03:22:46.360
Allows you.

1163
03:22:49.000 --> 03:22:49.600
To just.

1164
03:22:52.520 --> 03:22:58.959
Slow down. Someone to count again from ten down to

1165
03:22:59.040 --> 03:23:07.120
one and no, it is that gap, widening the gap,

1166
03:23:08.799 --> 03:23:13.399
and as it widens, it's almost like the stress and

1167
03:23:13.559 --> 03:23:31.200
attention falls into the gap and gives you that distance,

1168
03:23:33.159 --> 03:24:37.760
that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.

1169
03:24:55.559 --> 03:25:39.000
Three two.

1170
03:25:30.840 --> 03:25:35.799
One.

1171
03:25:42.959 --> 03:25:47.000
How did you work? Body feel.

1172
03:25:48.959 --> 03:25:49.120
Now?

1173
03:26:01.840 --> 03:26:15.520
Can you notice that? Do you feeling calmer, the feeling

1174
03:26:16.840 --> 03:26:44.360
more relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just

1175
03:26:44.399 --> 03:27:05.959
your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs.

1176
03:27:20.600 --> 03:27:24.600
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be

1177
03:27:24.680 --> 03:27:31.959
doing because I'm sure like most of your body is

1178
03:27:32.000 --> 03:27:44.159
not a lot going on right now. Just focusing on

1179
03:27:44.280 --> 03:27:49.840
the whole of your thighs, the tops of your thighs,

1180
03:27:50.479 --> 03:27:55.959
the sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs,

1181
03:27:57.280 --> 03:28:02.760
your outer thighs, and you're inner thighs, basically the whole

1182
03:28:02.840 --> 03:28:10.360
of your thigh that leads into your hip and it

1183
03:28:10.479 --> 03:28:21.200
goes down to your knee joint. Now, this is a

1184
03:28:21.239 --> 03:28:29.719
big area. It's a very heavy area. It's very strong.

1185
03:28:30.879 --> 03:28:36.239
Probably the strongest muscles in your body are in your thighs.

1186
03:28:46.079 --> 03:28:53.760
But I don't think we perhaps give enough attention to

1187
03:28:54.000 --> 03:29:07.879
our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs

1188
03:29:07.959 --> 03:29:27.799
are to our lives, how much they actually do for

1189
03:29:27.920 --> 03:29:41.639
us all through our lives. And it may seem to

1190
03:29:41.719 --> 03:29:46.959
sound really weird, but I think that all of our

1191
03:29:46.959 --> 03:29:57.840
body parts, especially our thighs, needs some TLC, a bit

1192
03:29:57.879 --> 03:30:14.680
of love shown, bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude

1193
03:30:17.600 --> 03:30:26.799
for our thighs do for us. And I know this

1194
03:30:26.920 --> 03:30:32.879
may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am

1195
03:30:32.879 --> 03:30:36.399
I Surely I should be out in the garden hugging

1196
03:30:36.440 --> 03:30:44.399
a tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a

1197
03:30:44.440 --> 03:30:48.159
microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.

1198
03:30:48.159 --> 03:30:51.959
Otherwise I wouldn't be outside hugging a tree. I can't

1199
03:30:52.000 --> 03:31:00.799
see the television from the tree. If you move down

1200
03:31:00.799 --> 03:31:10.639
to your knees gain such an important part. And I

1201
03:31:10.680 --> 03:31:17.559
think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I

1202
03:31:17.559 --> 03:31:22.760
don't necessarily appreciate all that my needs do for me

1203
03:31:24.000 --> 03:31:29.200
until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,

1204
03:31:29.200 --> 03:31:34.200
if I ever, maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching

1205
03:31:34.360 --> 03:31:40.799
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much

1206
03:31:40.879 --> 03:31:45.319
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to

1207
03:31:45.440 --> 03:31:55.440
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

1208
03:31:55.479 --> 03:32:04.239
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

1209
03:32:05.360 --> 03:32:12.479
You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

1210
03:32:14.479 --> 03:32:20.200
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that

1211
03:32:20.440 --> 03:32:26.600
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all

1212
03:32:26.719 --> 03:32:39.040
that they do for you, and you can still have

1213
03:32:39.079 --> 03:32:44.280
that attention on your thighs. Maybe notice how your thighs feel,

1214
03:32:46.360 --> 03:33:04.399
Maybe notice that they are relaxing more deeply as you

1215
03:33:04.559 --> 03:33:09.879
focus now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins

1216
03:33:10.639 --> 03:33:17.200
and your calf muscles, the bones between your knees and

1217
03:33:17.239 --> 03:33:30.520
your feet, incorporating the course. Your ankles so important. You know,

1218
03:33:30.520 --> 03:33:35.319
anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain of an

1219
03:33:35.319 --> 03:33:43.479
ankle knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

1220
03:33:49.319 --> 03:33:51.399
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

1221
03:33:51.440 --> 03:33:57.040
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

1222
03:33:57.159 --> 03:34:02.040
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1223
03:34:02.079 --> 03:34:05.799
it doesn't you can't see any problem with that because

1224
03:34:05.840 --> 03:34:11.920
we're just picking stuff up by our ankles so much

1225
03:34:12.159 --> 03:34:21.799
thinner than the rest of our legs. And from a

1226
03:34:21.879 --> 03:34:26.760
physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense

1227
03:34:28.079 --> 03:34:35.479
that all this weight would ultimately be resting on your

1228
03:34:35.520 --> 03:34:50.559
ankles then leading to your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

1229
03:34:50.600 --> 03:34:56.360
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1230
03:34:56.440 --> 03:35:08.239
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, It helps

1231
03:35:08.239 --> 03:35:21.760
you to get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1232
03:35:21.840 --> 03:35:29.440
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1233
03:35:29.479 --> 03:35:35.840
pointing calf muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if

1234
03:35:35.840 --> 03:35:39.440
I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get

1235
03:35:39.479 --> 03:35:43.200
some work. But of course that's not true. The calf

1236
03:35:43.319 --> 03:35:52.959
muscles are being used whenever we use our legs and

1237
03:35:53.079 --> 03:36:05.639
your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped in

1238
03:36:05.680 --> 03:36:18.280
a way almost as a protector for the bone, leading

1239
03:36:19.639 --> 03:36:30.040
of course to your ankles and your feet. But we're

1240
03:36:30.040 --> 03:36:32.000
not going to focus on your feet. We're just going

1241
03:36:32.000 --> 03:36:38.319
to focus on the legs. And I realize, and now

1242
03:36:38.360 --> 03:36:42.959
that I've mentioned your feet, you'll probably focusing on them anyway,

1243
03:36:43.479 --> 03:36:46.079
So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.

1244
03:36:50.079 --> 03:36:54.520
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1245
03:36:54.600 --> 03:36:58.959
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1246
03:36:59.040 --> 03:37:03.079
haven't been focused on your thighs for a few minutes,

1247
03:37:04.840 --> 03:37:13.760
let me focus in on your ankles. There's still that

1248
03:37:15.040 --> 03:37:29.600
sensation of comfort in your thighs, and there's that movement

1249
03:37:31.159 --> 03:37:39.200
of energy because the thighs hold lots of different sensations.

1250
03:37:40.600 --> 03:37:45.479
Of course, there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that

1251
03:37:45.559 --> 03:37:58.479
we have in our thighs, but the skin on the

1252
03:37:58.559 --> 03:38:04.079
outside of the thigh, as in the outside of all

1253
03:38:04.120 --> 03:38:12.959
of our body, can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch,

1254
03:38:15.719 --> 03:38:29.680
sensitive to temperature, and inside your thighs the bones, there's

1255
03:38:30.120 --> 03:38:34.959
the muscle, there's the blood, vessels, the ar trees to

1256
03:38:35.079 --> 03:38:43.959
all this stuff that's inside your thighs. I guess sometimes

1257
03:38:44.600 --> 03:38:47.360
it'd be nice if you could actually put your fingers

1258
03:38:48.360 --> 03:38:54.520
inside your thighs and message, So you can message on

1259
03:38:54.559 --> 03:38:57.959
the outside, of course, but to be able to get

1260
03:38:58.000 --> 03:39:01.000
deep into the muscles and to be able to just

1261
03:39:01.280 --> 03:39:07.520
massage inside your thighs, message in the bones of your

1262
03:39:07.600 --> 03:39:20.000
leg massage in all the veins, just gently healing your thighs,

1263
03:39:23.799 --> 03:39:29.120
and you can move down message and inside your knees.

1264
03:39:30.479 --> 03:39:37.319
Just message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading

1265
03:39:37.399 --> 03:39:43.239
that healing energy deep into the choice of your knees.

1266
03:39:48.600 --> 03:39:52.440
Of course, there's the back of your your need the

1267
03:39:52.600 --> 03:39:59.600
inside crease where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area.

1268
03:40:01.360 --> 03:40:06.280
It feels very nice when you stroke it. That might

1269
03:40:06.360 --> 03:40:10.520
be because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

1270
03:40:12.520 --> 03:40:19.440
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1271
03:40:19.479 --> 03:40:26.840
It's almost like a part that has a sensitivity, which

1272
03:40:26.879 --> 03:40:37.360
is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected by

1273
03:40:37.399 --> 03:40:48.840
your legs. So you can imagine putting your fingers into

1274
03:40:48.920 --> 03:40:58.639
that crease in your legs. Fold in between your legs.

1275
03:40:59.319 --> 03:41:03.959
You can just massage with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips

1276
03:41:04.040 --> 03:41:14.959
going inside massage in the muscle tissue you can cause

1277
03:41:15.079 --> 03:41:17.959
field the bones.

1278
03:41:17.680 --> 03:41:29.600
Of your knees, healing through your fingertips, and then as

1279
03:41:29.639 --> 03:41:30.719
you go down.

1280
03:41:33.200 --> 03:41:36.040
To your calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like

1281
03:41:36.120 --> 03:41:40.840
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1282
03:41:41.559 --> 03:41:50.520
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of the muscle,

1283
03:41:52.079 --> 03:42:02.000
healing every part, and doing the same for my shins,

1284
03:42:05.200 --> 03:42:13.399
massaging and gently stroking the bones, generally stroking them, healing

1285
03:42:13.639 --> 03:42:18.200
in a loving way because they deserve to be treated.

1286
03:42:20.760 --> 03:42:24.920
There's the precious bones that they are, because our legs

1287
03:42:24.920 --> 03:42:28.319
are so precious as in all the other parts of

1288
03:42:28.399 --> 03:42:36.559
our body, the more precious at any chul on the planet.

1289
03:42:45.120 --> 03:42:55.000
When you start to think about your legs in this way,

1290
03:42:57.680 --> 03:43:04.399
they can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

1291
03:43:07.440 --> 03:43:11.760
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

1292
03:43:12.600 --> 03:43:22.600
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1293
03:43:22.760 --> 03:43:26.760
to be able to put your hands in your thighs

1294
03:43:28.559 --> 03:43:35.079
and massage the muscles and the bones, and to get

1295
03:43:35.120 --> 03:43:43.440
your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just to

1296
03:43:43.559 --> 03:43:53.000
show how much you care about your legs, how much

1297
03:43:53.079 --> 03:43:58.799
you care for what your legs do for you regularly,

1298
03:44:01.159 --> 03:44:11.959
your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles,

1299
03:44:14.280 --> 03:44:19.000
considering how thin they are compared to the rest of

1300
03:44:19.040 --> 03:44:28.840
your legs, especially your thighs, yet they're so strong, so flexible,

1301
03:44:32.639 --> 03:44:45.440
absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because

1302
03:44:45.479 --> 03:44:54.239
of what they do for you, supporting all that weight.

1303
03:44:56.200 --> 03:45:00.639
Regardless of how what weight you are, even if you

1304
03:45:00.719 --> 03:45:05.479
only eat ate stone, there's still a lot of weight

1305
03:45:05.719 --> 03:45:12.440
for these little ankles. Now I'm a lot heavier than

1306
03:45:12.440 --> 03:45:22.440
eight stone. Double down, get my ankles support my body

1307
03:45:23.159 --> 03:45:29.760
all the time, or they do give off a sigh

1308
03:45:29.760 --> 03:45:35.399
of relief when I sit down. That's in fact, my whole.

1309
03:45:35.239 --> 03:45:35.639
Legs do.

1310
03:45:39.319 --> 03:45:46.120
My feet feet or so go my toes clap. I'm

1311
03:45:46.159 --> 03:46:14.680
so happy. Your legs really are amazing. And I know

1312
03:46:15.079 --> 03:46:21.520
that talking about talking about your legs is probably possibly

1313
03:46:21.719 --> 03:46:26.440
among the most most boring things I've ever heard anyone say.

1314
03:46:27.319 --> 03:46:34.799
Possibly you're boring or not. Everything I said is true.

1315
03:46:37.200 --> 03:46:52.159
Your legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect,

1316
03:46:57.959 --> 03:47:10.280
They deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some

1317
03:47:10.479 --> 03:47:16.520
time out of the day to just let go completely.

1318
03:47:34.399 --> 03:47:52.280
Your legs really can relax. And because the legs are

1319
03:47:52.440 --> 03:47:57.719
so such a most, you know, very important part of

1320
03:47:57.799 --> 03:48:01.840
your body when you're actual legs, the rest of your

1321
03:48:01.879 --> 03:48:21.399
body also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. Like

1322
03:48:21.559 --> 03:48:22.120
I feel it.

1323
03:48:22.120 --> 03:48:22.959
In my hips.

1324
03:48:24.239 --> 03:48:31.399
My hips feel really loose, and also my lower back

1325
03:48:31.440 --> 03:48:38.079
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1326
03:48:39.159 --> 03:48:42.239
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1327
03:48:42.280 --> 03:48:47.559
no stretching as far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1328
03:48:48.559 --> 03:48:51.239
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1329
03:48:51.440 --> 03:48:57.399
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension

1330
03:48:58.280 --> 03:49:19.559
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

1331
03:49:19.600 --> 03:49:27.520
down from ten down to one, and you can continue

1332
03:49:29.319 --> 03:50:00.799
to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine eight, seven, six, five, four.

1333
03:50:03.840 --> 03:50:19.719
Three two one relax.

1334
03:50:27.639 --> 03:50:31.479
So I'm just going to count down from five down

1335
03:50:31.520 --> 03:50:36.000
to one. And as a countdown, if you just focus

1336
03:50:36.079 --> 03:50:44.040
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1337
03:50:44.879 --> 03:50:52.920
how you feel in this moment as you hear the

1338
03:50:53.040 --> 03:51:01.079
numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers count down represent

1339
03:51:02.120 --> 03:51:11.159
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also

1340
03:51:13.399 --> 03:51:20.600
relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel there's nothing

1341
03:51:21.280 --> 03:51:26.639
to do. There's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about.

1342
03:51:29.680 --> 03:51:33.399
Starting with number five.

1343
03:51:41.840 --> 03:52:05.600
Four three.

1344
03:52:02.440 --> 03:52:27.680
Two one. Now, as you notice the gradual letting go

1345
03:52:29.920 --> 03:52:36.920
of the tension in your body, you may also begin

1346
03:52:37.159 --> 03:52:44.159
to notice and be aware of how your mind is

1347
03:52:44.239 --> 03:52:52.079
starting to slow down. This is just a natural thing

1348
03:52:52.559 --> 03:53:00.559
that happens. It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural.

1349
03:53:00.639 --> 03:53:07.040
Because is your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax.

1350
03:53:08.600 --> 03:53:12.280
And the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1351
03:53:12.399 --> 03:53:23.040
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that

1352
03:53:24.159 --> 03:53:32.040
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

1353
03:53:32.079 --> 03:53:38.600
if there's background sounds, either your side or mine, it's

1354
03:53:38.760 --> 03:53:44.639
still going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't

1355
03:53:44.680 --> 03:53:49.639
got the television on, there's no music in the background,

1356
03:53:49.719 --> 03:53:52.440
unless you're listening to the recorded with music. Of course,

1357
03:53:57.239 --> 03:53:59.399
you're very likely not going to be sitting in a

1358
03:53:59.520 --> 03:54:04.440
room with people. Of course you might be, but generally

1359
03:54:04.559 --> 03:54:07.719
it's more ideal if you can do this on your own,

1360
03:54:09.399 --> 03:54:19.559
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1361
03:54:26.040 --> 03:54:36.360
relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts to grow

1362
03:54:40.840 --> 03:54:47.559
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1363
03:54:47.920 --> 03:54:59.680
or something magical. This is just a natural process, something

1364
03:54:59.760 --> 03:55:10.040
that easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1365
03:55:10.079 --> 03:55:17.000
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1366
03:55:17.120 --> 03:55:21.040
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1367
03:55:21.079 --> 03:55:32.760
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

1368
03:55:33.159 --> 03:55:43.360
the process of this recording and others is simply two

1369
03:55:44.959 --> 03:55:55.319
allow you to take advantage of this space. This time,

1370
03:55:58.239 --> 03:56:09.280
it's just let go, to just be here, to be

1371
03:56:09.879 --> 03:56:23.319
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

1372
03:56:25.520 --> 03:56:37.000
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,

1373
03:56:38.159 --> 03:56:43.360
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself

1374
03:56:45.079 --> 03:57:00.000
in this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority

1375
03:57:00.079 --> 03:57:05.399
tea of the process of falling asleep. The actual falling

1376
03:57:05.399 --> 03:57:12.159
asleep part is the tiny bit at the end. The

1377
03:57:12.319 --> 03:57:26.799
deeper relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting.

1378
03:57:36.239 --> 03:57:42.760
But you can also if you choose stay focused on

1379
03:57:42.959 --> 03:58:00.360
my voice and really enjoy the process of correct actually

1380
03:58:05.920 --> 03:58:32.920
relaxing each muscle in your body effortlessly and just observing

1381
03:58:37.399 --> 03:58:58.879
the sensation of letting go completely. This time, I'm gonna

1382
03:58:59.000 --> 03:59:09.360
count from six down to one. You can notice your

1383
03:59:09.559 --> 03:59:19.879
mind calming down more with each number that you hear

1384
03:59:20.239 --> 03:59:36.120
me say naturally, feeling calm and slow and be peaceful

1385
03:59:42.040 --> 04:02:34.319
sex fivehhhhhhhhhhhhhh, four, three two one, being aware of how

1386
04:02:34.399 --> 04:02:50.159
your mind to slow right down, sinking deeply into relaxation.

1387
04:03:03.879 --> 04:03:10.639
And as you focus on your mind, you may notice

1388
04:03:10.920 --> 04:03:20.079
that there are some thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn

1389
04:03:20.239 --> 04:03:28.959
thoughts that for some reason perhaps need your attention.

1390
04:03:36.000 --> 04:03:37.280
So what you can do is.

1391
04:03:42.799 --> 04:03:55.280
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love,

1392
04:03:57.040 --> 04:04:03.200
my little petals from a flower, Sprinkle it over them, petals,

1393
04:04:03.280 --> 04:04:10.879
feel good love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts smur.

1394
04:04:13.360 --> 04:04:18.799
You're not abandon the number. You just need them. You

1395
04:04:18.959 --> 04:04:30.440
require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet down

1396
04:04:34.360 --> 04:04:34.760
for now.

1397
04:04:42.639 --> 04:04:43.120
So as you.

1398
04:04:43.239 --> 04:04:48.600
Focus on those remaining thoughts as we count down this

1399
04:04:48.840 --> 04:04:56.959
time from seven down to one. With each number, just

1400
04:04:57.079 --> 04:05:09.399
imagine sprinkling those flowers our petals of love, kindness gratitude

1401
04:05:12.680 --> 04:05:22.239
over those thoughts, which will allow them to just melt

1402
04:05:22.319 --> 04:05:37.319
away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts will

1403
04:05:37.399 --> 04:06:32.280
become more and more relaxed. Starting with number seven, six, five,

1404
04:06:45.479 --> 04:08:04.040
four three one.

1405
04:08:20.719 --> 04:08:21.600
Let you now.

1406
04:08:25.719 --> 04:08:46.920
Notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body. We've got

1407
04:08:47.040 --> 04:09:00.719
to focus on your hands, because the more ext your

1408
04:09:00.879 --> 04:09:07.799
hands are, the more relaxed your body and mind are.

1409
04:09:22.959 --> 04:09:34.520
There's you focus on your hands and your fingers. There's

1410
04:09:34.600 --> 04:09:39.920
nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists

1411
04:09:40.239 --> 04:09:51.319
or tents in the fingers or anything like that. It's

1412
04:09:51.600 --> 04:10:06.200
just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

1413
04:10:20.799 --> 04:10:30.959
Because the more relaxed do your hands feel, the calmer

1414
04:10:31.159 --> 04:10:39.840
your mind feels, and the more the comforts you feel

1415
04:10:41.920 --> 04:11:12.079
throughout your body. JE may have already noticed your mind

1416
04:11:15.319 --> 04:11:43.079
is starting to drift. Fix him just on your hands

1417
04:11:44.280 --> 04:12:02.239
and fingers, allowing them cheap experience, a real deepening of

1418
04:12:02.440 --> 04:12:18.319
that relaxation in your hands and fingers, more and more relaxed.

1419
04:12:23.440 --> 04:12:41.840
With each number from eight down to one. You can

1420
04:12:41.920 --> 04:12:53.760
almost feel that healing, relaxing energy spreading into your hands

1421
04:12:54.840 --> 04:13:20.879
and fingers, becoming more relaxing with each number going down,

1422
04:13:23.079 --> 04:16:21.079
eight down to one, drifting drifting again, starting with number eighth, seven, five, four, three,

1423
04:17:40.879 --> 04:17:50.159
just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1424
04:17:51.799 --> 04:18:05.719
nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer. And this

1425
04:18:06.040 --> 04:18:13.600
is your natural state of being. This is how you

1426
04:18:13.920 --> 04:18:20.159
just normally feel when you take away all of that

1427
04:18:20.600 --> 04:18:27.959
other stuff that we add, you know, things like stress

1428
04:18:28.079 --> 04:18:44.520
and worrying and overthinking, anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff.

1429
04:18:46.719 --> 04:18:50.680
We take that away, this is what we do. What

1430
04:18:50.799 --> 04:19:04.840
we do now, you're left with a real sense of peacefulness,

1431
04:19:08.399 --> 04:19:16.799
which comes to you very quickly because ultimately it's just

1432
04:19:18.000 --> 04:19:30.360
a feeling of feeling of comfort. It's almost as if

1433
04:19:30.399 --> 04:19:34.760
you've got inside yourself and you've found a special place

1434
04:19:36.159 --> 04:19:48.600
where everything is peaceful, a place where you can film

1435
04:19:49.799 --> 04:19:59.319
relaxed and you're natural sense of comfort, a place where you.

1436
04:20:00.159 --> 04:20:00.760
Be here.

1437
04:20:05.200 --> 04:20:12.079
Where you can accept yourself and who you are, in

1438
04:20:12.159 --> 04:20:18.120
the place where you're not trying to please anybody else.

1439
04:20:18.639 --> 04:20:31.399
In a place where you can actually not just love yourself,

1440
04:20:31.520 --> 04:20:36.959
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself,

1441
04:20:39.479 --> 04:20:56.760
appreciate who you are, a sense of gratitude. He's in

1442
04:20:56.879 --> 04:21:07.840
the air way around here. That's also a place where

1443
04:21:08.040 --> 04:21:18.399
you can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.

1444
04:21:25.079 --> 04:21:37.399
Healing energy soaking into your body. That healing energy spreads

1445
04:21:38.399 --> 04:21:49.559
through your veins, traveling to each every single part of

1446
04:21:49.719 --> 04:21:59.479
your body, and you start to realize that actually that

1447
04:21:59.760 --> 04:22:08.559
he energy it's not just entered into your brain, it's

1448
04:22:08.639 --> 04:22:20.600
become part of your brain, and the spinal fluid is

1449
04:22:20.719 --> 04:22:31.600
now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you to

1450
04:22:32.000 --> 04:22:39.600
feel so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment,

1451
04:22:44.079 --> 04:22:53.520
but also you start to realize that actually, what's happening

1452
04:22:53.760 --> 04:23:04.360
now without healing relaxing energy spreading through your body is

1453
04:23:04.559 --> 04:23:15.319
actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're

1454
04:23:15.399 --> 04:23:21.879
going to feel not just now, but tomorrow and the

1455
04:23:22.000 --> 04:23:31.760
next day. As your health improves, not just your physical health,

1456
04:23:31.879 --> 04:23:39.239
but your mental health. Things that used to bother you

1457
04:23:39.440 --> 04:23:46.559
in the past, for some reason, no longer have the

1458
04:23:46.719 --> 04:23:55.600
effect that they used to because something has changed deep

1459
04:23:56.079 --> 04:24:06.719
within you. Maybe things that used to cause you to

1460
04:24:06.879 --> 04:24:19.200
feel anger no longer have that power to control you

1461
04:24:21.719 --> 04:24:28.000
the way they seem to be able to before. As

1462
04:24:28.120 --> 04:24:39.639
you realize that you're the one who decides what affects you,

1463
04:24:43.319 --> 04:24:52.079
you're the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm

1464
04:24:53.719 --> 04:25:09.079
when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of

1465
04:25:09.360 --> 04:25:20.920
healing continuing to grow and improve your life day by day,

1466
04:25:26.840 --> 04:25:35.040
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier

1467
04:25:40.040 --> 04:25:49.600
than sleeping. It's the most natural thing in the world

1468
04:25:51.079 --> 04:25:59.399
to you because falling asleep is something that you've done

1469
04:26:02.440 --> 04:26:10.079
so many times in your life, and you know that

1470
04:26:10.319 --> 04:26:15.559
you were born, as we all were, with the ability

1471
04:26:17.159 --> 04:26:27.479
to fall asleep naturally. We were born with that ability

1472
04:26:30.440 --> 04:26:44.719
to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep. Even

1473
04:26:44.760 --> 04:26:49.520
when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep when we don't

1474
04:26:49.559 --> 04:26:55.520
even want to try to think of stay awake. Maybe

1475
04:26:55.600 --> 04:26:58.959
it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or

1476
04:27:00.200 --> 04:27:02.879
day or something we look forward to. We don't want

1477
04:27:02.879 --> 04:27:07.440
to go to sleep. But the more we want to

1478
04:27:07.479 --> 04:27:16.760
stay awake, the more we just start to drift. And

1479
04:27:16.879 --> 04:27:21.680
the more you fights drifting, we're trying to stop yourself

1480
04:27:21.760 --> 04:27:28.159
and drifting asleep, the deeper and stronger that drifting becomes.

1481
04:27:35.120 --> 04:27:40.440
Because we're born not just with the need to relax

1482
04:27:40.559 --> 04:27:48.959
deeply and to naturally fall asleep, but it's our birth right,

1483
04:27:52.319 --> 04:28:02.719
it's part of our DNA, and sometimes as we get

1484
04:28:02.760 --> 04:28:16.680
older in life, perhaps at times we have forgotten relaxing completely.

1485
04:28:18.399 --> 04:28:31.799
It's not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

1486
04:28:43.159 --> 04:28:50.639
It's very very easy to let go because that's all

1487
04:28:50.719 --> 04:29:05.079
it is, is just deciding to let go. And when

1488
04:29:05.239 --> 04:29:13.040
you press the play button on my recordings, you have

1489
04:29:13.239 --> 04:29:24.239
given permission for my voice to relax. When you press

1490
04:29:24.360 --> 04:29:29.360
that play button, you have given me permission for my

1491
04:29:29.639 --> 04:29:44.440
words to effect. You're in a positive, only a positive way,

1492
04:29:48.360 --> 04:30:11.920
opening up your mind to useful and healing suggestions that

1493
04:30:12.079 --> 04:30:23.239
can have such an amazing effect on how you feel

1494
04:30:24.000 --> 04:30:38.159
right now, as well as those changes that continue long

1495
04:30:38.559 --> 04:30:48.840
after the recording ends, those changes within you that continue

1496
04:30:49.120 --> 04:31:02.319
to flourish and grow, transforming your life in a positive,

1497
04:31:04.159 --> 04:31:13.799
beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in your life

1498
04:31:15.239 --> 04:31:30.040
in the direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling,

1499
04:31:32.799 --> 04:31:40.879
this feeling that you can experience a safety comfort, calmness

1500
04:31:48.680 --> 04:32:02.639
just feels so nice, such a healthy place to be,

1501
04:32:10.520 --> 04:32:24.319
and that positivity prows within you each and every day.

1502
04:32:27.399 --> 04:32:37.159
Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed

1503
04:32:39.520 --> 04:32:51.840
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's

1504
04:32:51.920 --> 04:32:57.479
not that you're thinking slower. It's just that your mind

1505
04:32:57.559 --> 04:33:09.439
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from

1506
04:33:09.560 --> 04:33:19.840
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're

1507
04:33:19.880 --> 04:33:30.720
going to start noticing when negativity arises and you can

1508
04:33:30.880 --> 04:33:44.840
just say stop, stop, and then negativity will turn around

1509
04:33:45.439 --> 04:34:04.799
and leave you alone. Stop and then the utility would disappear.

1510
04:34:12.959 --> 04:34:19.439
And as you notice that you feel way more relaxed

1511
04:34:20.880 --> 04:34:36.240
than you probably expected, you can now congratulate yourself because

1512
04:34:36.400 --> 04:34:42.799
you're the person that has done this. You are the

1513
04:34:42.959 --> 04:34:48.040
one that has opened your mind up to the simple

1514
04:34:48.240 --> 04:34:56.119
facts that you can feel more relaxed in your body

1515
04:34:56.840 --> 04:35:06.119
and in your mind. You've opened your mind up to

1516
04:35:08.479 --> 04:35:15.040
the birthright of being able to just fall asleep easily

1517
04:35:16.080 --> 04:35:30.080
when you choose. And that's a nice feeling. Don't you

1518
04:35:30.200 --> 04:35:41.599
think it feels nice? Doesn't it? To feel calm? For

1519
04:35:41.840 --> 04:35:46.439
that healing energy is spreading through your body in your

1520
04:35:46.560 --> 04:36:03.959
mind to spend time a special place where negativity can

1521
04:36:04.119 --> 04:36:16.840
no longer enter. Negativity is banned, It's barred, it's not

1522
04:36:16.919 --> 04:36:23.959
allowed entry. Doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here,

1523
04:36:24.400 --> 04:36:33.439
doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place in your life,

1524
04:36:43.439 --> 04:36:52.919
which makes room for more comfort, more healing, more relaxation,

1525
04:36:57.759 --> 04:37:16.959
more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it.

1526
04:37:18.799 --> 04:37:22.959
Just let go.

1527
04:37:24.919 --> 04:37:44.759
With everything. I'm gonna count down now from twenty down

1528
04:37:44.880 --> 04:37:54.720
to one. You can continue to relax if youtuose you

1529
04:37:55.040 --> 04:38:08.880
can drift to sleep with every number you hear me say,

1530
04:38:13.240 --> 04:38:20.560
you can fill twice as relaxed, or if you choose,

1531
04:38:20.720 --> 04:40:36.520
you can fill twice sleeping now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twove, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six.

1532
04:40:44.560 --> 04:41:13.240
Five, or.

1533
04:41:25.479 --> 04:41:35.240
This is your time to just take a break, your

1534
04:41:35.439 --> 04:41:46.119
time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,

1535
04:41:54.799 --> 04:42:08.880
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything.

1536
04:42:13.720 --> 04:42:21.119
Ensure the only person that can make that decision. You're

1537
04:42:21.159 --> 04:42:28.520
the only person that can actually tell your mind to

1538
04:42:28.880 --> 04:42:52.959
just relax, to just take some time off so that

1539
04:42:53.119 --> 04:42:58.080
you can focus on your body, getting in touch with

1540
04:42:59.279 --> 04:43:15.560
how you feel physically, and in the process of this

1541
04:43:15.919 --> 04:43:20.840
body scan where you focus on different parts of your body,

1542
04:43:27.240 --> 04:43:34.680
those parts that you focus on and observe. Even though

1543
04:43:34.840 --> 04:43:43.000
you're not purposely requesting for those parts of your body

1544
04:43:43.200 --> 04:43:51.680
to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect when you

1545
04:43:51.880 --> 04:44:04.959
listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally, because

1546
04:44:05.040 --> 04:44:14.799
when you're listening to me, your attention is focused on

1547
04:44:15.040 --> 04:44:26.560
my words, and does my words guide you to focus

1548
04:44:30.959 --> 04:44:45.840
on those parts of your body. Your focus increases, which

1549
04:44:46.000 --> 04:45:01.959
actually calms your mind and when you're w it calms down,

1550
04:45:06.840 --> 04:45:28.880
your body relaxes, and when your body calms down, your

1551
04:45:29.040 --> 04:45:45.919
mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started to

1552
04:45:46.080 --> 04:45:58.720
focus on your body, you can already feel that healing

1553
04:45:59.000 --> 04:46:13.439
energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,

1554
04:46:17.599 --> 04:46:24.880
healing all the parts of your body, including your skin,

1555
04:46:26.080 --> 04:46:32.959
your bones, your blood, all of your organs inside your body,

1556
04:46:34.400 --> 04:46:41.159
all of the muscles, all of the fat, all of everything,

1557
04:46:43.000 --> 04:46:49.159
every hair on your body is filled with that healing energy.

1558
04:46:57.200 --> 04:46:57.880
And when your.

1559
04:46:57.840 --> 04:47:17.080
Brain fills without healing energy, the feeling of comfort relaxation

1560
04:47:20.959 --> 04:47:46.479
increases deeply, increases in a way that your mind starts

1561
04:47:46.720 --> 04:48:02.919
to fill perhaps been drowsing because it's not needed, and

1562
04:48:03.040 --> 04:48:22.279
it may start to drift if that's what's needed. So

1563
04:48:22.400 --> 04:48:27.200
if you're listening to this and what you need is

1564
04:48:27.400 --> 04:48:29.360
deep relaxation.

1565
04:48:29.360 --> 04:48:30.159
That's what you get.

1566
04:48:32.360 --> 04:48:33.840
If what you need is.

1567
04:48:35.520 --> 04:48:42.520
To fall asleep naturally and easily that your mind drifts,

1568
04:48:45.040 --> 04:48:58.799
that's also what will happened. Because by pressing out play

1569
04:48:58.919 --> 04:49:05.200
button on the podcast and listening to me, give permission

1570
04:49:07.240 --> 04:49:17.799
your body and your mind. In fact, you give the

1571
04:49:17.959 --> 04:49:26.840
command to your body and your mind to relax deeply

1572
04:49:30.799 --> 04:49:37.040
and to drift off to sleep, if that's what you want.

1573
04:49:40.240 --> 04:49:40.799
Or need.

1574
04:49:48.240 --> 04:49:54.000
Them. As I focus on the different parts of your body,

1575
04:49:58.959 --> 04:50:07.759
you may start to just drift and then you come

1576
04:50:07.880 --> 04:50:13.319
back again. You hear me talking, and I'm focusing on

1577
04:50:13.479 --> 04:50:24.959
a different part of your body. You may find yourself

1578
04:50:25.360 --> 04:50:33.959
drifting ben and realize you're drifting. Until you stop drifting.

1579
04:50:36.240 --> 04:50:42.799
You a laugh again to my voice. Focusing on a

1580
04:50:42.959 --> 04:50:47.759
different part of your body, starts to relax in a

1581
04:50:47.959 --> 04:51:00.720
deema because I'm drifting. It's basically here already to sleep,

1582
04:51:00.880 --> 04:51:11.200
soone and the more you drift, the longer you drift,

1583
04:51:12.840 --> 04:51:23.319
the longer you drift. Eventually that drifting continues into sleep,

1584
04:51:28.319 --> 04:51:33.159
and that's the last you remember until you wake up

1585
04:51:37.639 --> 04:51:42.759
in your own time. When you experience the right amount

1586
04:51:42.880 --> 04:51:49.479
of sleep, fear because when you do.

1587
04:51:51.319 --> 04:51:54.000
And if you do sleep, it's.

1588
04:51:56.360 --> 04:52:21.639
Extremely pleasant. So relaxing, so deep he sleep, I feel

1589
04:52:21.880 --> 04:52:34.520
so nice to relax your own body and mind. If

1590
04:52:34.639 --> 04:52:42.279
you feel that heating energy is spreading through it, relaxing,

1591
04:52:42.560 --> 04:53:07.279
use so deeply, relaxse so deeply. Start to focus on

1592
04:53:07.479 --> 04:53:17.240
your eyes, move it down.

1593
04:53:19.880 --> 04:53:30.319
To your jaw, down, till back.

1594
04:53:37.639 --> 04:54:18.279
Your shoulders, oum things you chest, stun.

1595
04:54:25.279 --> 04:54:25.759
You and.

1596
04:54:33.000 --> 04:55:34.599
Spine, your hands, your legs, fai, your toes, spreading grime

1597
04:55:36.360 --> 04:55:48.680
inside your body, feeling you up. Now let's focus again

1598
04:55:51.000 --> 04:55:58.240
on the parts of your body, focusing this time on

1599
04:55:58.360 --> 04:56:11.200
your forehead. Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1600
04:56:14.479 --> 04:56:36.240
the whole of your mouth. Focus on your fingers. Maybe

1601
04:56:36.560 --> 04:56:40.840
you could move your fingers a little bits. You can

1602
04:56:41.919 --> 04:56:56.560
focus on each one individually, both hands and even though

1603
04:56:56.759 --> 04:57:01.759
it should focus on both of your hands out. I

1604
04:57:01.919 --> 04:57:04.520
always seemed to just melt into one.

1605
04:57:09.639 --> 04:57:09.840
Way.

1606
04:57:09.919 --> 04:57:18.000
Is your right hands start left handed? No words, as

1607
04:57:18.080 --> 04:57:35.360
if just mixed together. Now focusing on your knees, just

1608
04:57:35.880 --> 04:57:58.279
noticing how your knees hell. Now focusing when you're elbos

1609
04:58:01.080 --> 04:58:18.159
fu saying by fearers just absurd, the faith of fels.

1610
04:58:42.040 --> 04:58:42.720
Focusing.

1611
04:58:44.279 --> 04:59:03.080
I'm sorry to back your back energy ac.

1612
04:59:34.799 --> 04:59:58.040
Obsid anchos, physical of sensations, echoes.

1613
05:00:12.479 --> 05:01:00.919
Lady, Now.

1614
05:01:03.680 --> 05:01:22.240
Your toes, beef of your fate, being aware your toes

1615
05:01:24.919 --> 05:02:16.560
feel right now, not too sent high, exire body fails,

1616
05:02:26.200 --> 05:03:20.400
noticing your mind fails. Now letting go, letting go, letting

1617
05:03:21.400 --> 05:04:00.720
go everything, letting go, letting go, let go of everything.

1618
05:04:09.639 --> 05:04:09.799
Thing.

1619
05:04:16.080 --> 05:04:19.759
I'm going to start now, and I'd like you just

1620
05:04:19.919 --> 05:04:25.560
first of all, just to see yourself lying down on

1621
05:04:25.680 --> 05:04:31.840
the message table, lying on your front. Your head is supported,

1622
05:04:32.240 --> 05:04:41.000
your arms are supported, and you feel comfortable, and breathing

1623
05:04:41.200 --> 05:04:50.560
is really easy, and you feel you feel confident in

1624
05:04:50.720 --> 05:04:52.919
how you look as well. So there's none of that

1625
05:04:53.080 --> 05:04:59.799
issue of body problems or shyness, because I'm a professional

1626
05:05:01.000 --> 05:05:07.360
and this is a therapy session, so none of that

1627
05:05:07.520 --> 05:05:17.360
stuff matters on whatsoever. This is about you. This is

1628
05:05:17.439 --> 05:05:25.720
about how you feel and how you can enjoy that

1629
05:05:25.959 --> 05:05:31.840
sense of comfort and relaxation that comes from letting go

1630
05:05:32.360 --> 05:05:37.680
and allowing my hands and my fingers to relax you

1631
05:05:40.560 --> 05:05:49.240
by messaging your body. So I want to start off

1632
05:05:49.479 --> 05:05:54.360
just by placing my hands on the back of your head,

1633
05:05:55.799 --> 05:06:01.319
just gently, just you can feel my hands feel like

1634
05:06:01.520 --> 05:06:08.400
really on you. So you can maybe feel the warmth

1635
05:06:08.479 --> 05:06:14.000
of my hands on the back of your head. With

1636
05:06:14.200 --> 05:06:17.479
my hands to the side of your head, not pressing,

1637
05:06:17.639 --> 05:06:23.959
but just holding there very gently, maybe over your ears,

1638
05:06:24.520 --> 05:06:27.759
and a little bit on your face, so you can

1639
05:06:27.959 --> 05:06:34.040
feel my hands so you can become accustomed.

1640
05:06:35.040 --> 05:06:35.479
To them.

1641
05:06:44.119 --> 05:06:46.279
And now put my hands on the back of your

1642
05:06:46.360 --> 05:06:53.759
head again and gently let them slide down onto the

1643
05:06:53.840 --> 05:07:10.840
back of your neck. You can feel my hands gently

1644
05:07:11.080 --> 05:07:18.000
stroking the back of your neck to start with, just

1645
05:07:18.080 --> 05:07:22.119
so you can get used to the feeling of my

1646
05:07:22.319 --> 05:07:30.319
hands on your skin, get accustomed to realize that you're

1647
05:07:30.439 --> 05:07:40.400
safe and it's all good, it's all fine, and I'm

1648
05:07:40.439 --> 05:07:44.680
want to start gently messaging the muscles in the back

1649
05:07:44.720 --> 05:08:00.439
of your neck with both hands. And this is a

1650
05:08:00.560 --> 05:08:07.560
very trusting situation really, because our necks is so fragile

1651
05:08:08.880 --> 05:08:12.279
and to have someone have their hands around your neck

1652
05:08:13.080 --> 05:08:18.439
in that way can sometimes be problematic for people, which

1653
05:08:18.479 --> 05:08:22.799
is why massages are quite good, because it allows you

1654
05:08:22.959 --> 05:08:37.040
to relax and to get in touch with trust, to

1655
05:08:37.159 --> 05:08:49.720
feel peaceful and calm. There's a massage the sides of

1656
05:08:49.799 --> 05:08:57.680
your neck, gently moving from the bottom of your neck.

1657
05:08:59.400 --> 05:09:01.919
It would be sort of near where your shoulders start,

1658
05:09:02.000 --> 05:09:08.520
I guess, all the way up to your jaw. It

1659
05:09:08.919 --> 05:09:15.240
is kind of area that side of your neck. Of course,

1660
05:09:15.279 --> 05:09:17.799
it's a lot longer than the front of your neck.

1661
05:09:30.799 --> 05:09:37.880
And message in the back of your neck, especially that

1662
05:09:38.080 --> 05:09:47.560
area where perhaps we hold tension, and there's that area's message.

1663
05:09:47.919 --> 05:09:52.000
You can actually feel a sense of release in the

1664
05:09:52.080 --> 05:09:59.880
back of your neck and maybe you can breathe it

1665
05:10:00.319 --> 05:10:06.000
as well. Notice how it feels. Notice how you feel

1666
05:10:15.880 --> 05:10:19.520
they're moving down to that area between your neck and

1667
05:10:19.599 --> 05:10:29.720
your shoulders, that muscle area, starting to message that area

1668
05:10:29.799 --> 05:10:34.119
on both sides. I mean, this would be the area

1669
05:10:34.240 --> 05:10:36.799
that a lot of people would message if they were

1670
05:10:36.840 --> 05:10:41.799
going to give you like a shoulder message. Even that's

1671
05:10:42.200 --> 05:10:45.599
not technically the shoulders, but it's all the muscles that

1672
05:10:45.759 --> 05:10:51.959
lead to the shoulders from the neck and a game

1673
05:10:52.119 --> 05:10:59.119
that can hold tension and stress. And when massaged sometimes

1674
05:10:59.200 --> 05:11:06.159
a nice deep message is useful, and you decide how

1675
05:11:06.400 --> 05:11:24.360
deep that massage is, and just allow my knuckles just

1676
05:11:24.439 --> 05:11:28.560
to dig in to get to those muscles and to

1677
05:11:28.840 --> 05:11:38.680
readly relaxed and all the time and being firm yet

1678
05:11:39.080 --> 05:11:58.439
gentle with you and just stroking down the area to

1679
05:11:58.599 --> 05:12:04.520
your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of your shoulders,

1680
05:12:10.520 --> 05:12:15.319
and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders a little

1681
05:12:15.360 --> 05:12:18.799
bit off the table just to give you a little

1682
05:12:18.799 --> 05:12:29.240
bit of a stretch, but very gently, and you've got

1683
05:12:29.279 --> 05:12:32.840
the muscles at the front of your shoulders the side

1684
05:12:33.119 --> 05:12:43.680
of the back. Again, this is a part that can

1685
05:12:43.840 --> 05:12:49.000
really take quite a bit of pressure, quite a bit

1686
05:12:49.080 --> 05:12:59.319
of needing if if you wish to really release the

1687
05:12:59.479 --> 05:13:07.799
tension to really get into those muscles, and you can

1688
05:13:07.880 --> 05:13:12.080
let your fingers in there. Make you feel really nice.

1689
05:13:14.040 --> 05:13:21.599
Sometimes it's just being stroked gently or being messaged quite strongly,

1690
05:13:25.400 --> 05:13:34.680
can all be beneficial to the real conversation with the

1691
05:13:34.799 --> 05:13:48.240
muscles in your shoulders. Now to move down your arms,

1692
05:13:54.840 --> 05:13:58.400
were doing one arm at a time. Starting with your

1693
05:13:58.520 --> 05:14:08.759
right arm, what I'll do is I just lift your

1694
05:14:08.880 --> 05:14:11.680
arm up, just hold it to the side of you

1695
05:14:14.919 --> 05:14:21.279
that words still be attached, and I just message the

1696
05:14:21.439 --> 05:14:34.279
tops of your arms all the way down to your

1697
05:14:34.439 --> 05:15:01.840
forearms into your wrists, gently massaging that part, the softer part,

1698
05:15:01.959 --> 05:15:08.400
which is the under part of the arm, which leads

1699
05:15:08.560 --> 05:15:13.360
to the crease in your elbow. The inside it's much

1700
05:15:13.880 --> 05:15:31.720
more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked feel really nice,

1701
05:15:34.439 --> 05:15:48.360
pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down to your right hand,

1702
05:15:54.400 --> 05:16:06.439
just holding your hand in both of my hands, just

1703
05:16:06.639 --> 05:16:13.240
pressing gently on the back of your hand, stretching your

1704
05:16:13.360 --> 05:16:24.159
fingers ever so lightly, at the same time pressing down

1705
05:16:24.240 --> 05:16:37.439
and massaging each finger, and then starting to massage the

1706
05:16:37.680 --> 05:16:50.279
palms and their hand. Just turning the hand gently, stretching

1707
05:16:50.400 --> 05:16:59.880
it gently, and actually having your hand held can really

1708
05:17:00.159 --> 05:17:07.560
be an emotional experience. Sometimes even if it is a stranger,

1709
05:17:09.560 --> 05:17:13.919
someone you don't know very well, like a massage person

1710
05:17:14.240 --> 05:17:28.000
or a therapist. Maybe because it's intimate, you can feel nice,

1711
05:17:30.639 --> 05:17:40.919
you can feel safe. And as I put that right

1712
05:17:41.200 --> 05:17:49.520
arm back down where it was, I did the same

1713
05:17:49.680 --> 05:18:01.919
with your left arm, exactly the same, massaging the muscles

1714
05:18:03.119 --> 05:18:06.880
in your arm all the way down to your wrist,

1715
05:18:11.040 --> 05:18:20.840
stroking the inside of your arm, just being gentle or

1716
05:18:20.919 --> 05:18:34.840
as firm as you require, and then massaging your left hand,

1717
05:18:41.400 --> 05:18:51.400
stretching the fingers, gently massaging the palm of your left hand.

1718
05:19:03.599 --> 05:19:31.639
I feel so so relaxing, so comforting, and I just

1719
05:19:31.840 --> 05:19:44.720
wrest your left arm back down. Start to message your back,

1720
05:19:46.479 --> 05:19:54.479
the biggest part of your body, starting at the top,

1721
05:19:57.720 --> 05:20:01.639
starting again where you already be, in the area at

1722
05:20:01.720 --> 05:20:08.520
the top in between your shoulders, near your neck. Going back,

1723
05:20:09.400 --> 05:20:14.639
message in the area again, but this time moving downwards,

1724
05:20:21.119 --> 05:20:26.880
making it downward. Stroke to the middle of your back,

1725
05:20:29.319 --> 05:20:37.599
working from the outside inwards, massage in that your back,

1726
05:20:37.759 --> 05:20:50.119
but the outsides of your back parts where your arms

1727
05:20:50.240 --> 05:21:03.319
would maybe rest against, almost the part that connects your

1728
05:21:03.439 --> 05:21:20.360
front to your back, and just messaging down firmly but gently,

1729
05:21:21.479 --> 05:21:29.720
as firm as you want moving down and moving across

1730
05:21:29.759 --> 05:21:32.040
a little bed and moving all the way down again.

1731
05:21:33.400 --> 05:21:45.919
Be very gentle, you have firm as you choose. Eventually

1732
05:21:46.040 --> 05:21:50.840
you get to the spine. We can message the muscles

1733
05:21:50.959 --> 05:21:54.560
on either side of your spine from the top of

1734
05:21:54.639 --> 05:22:00.560
your neck all the way down to your our back.

1735
05:22:06.799 --> 05:22:12.840
We can do that a few times. Sometimes people would

1736
05:22:12.919 --> 05:22:19.639
use the knuckle or the you know, the two fingers

1737
05:22:19.720 --> 05:22:25.439
and just go your side of the spine. Almost just

1738
05:22:25.680 --> 05:22:28.799
push down, go all the way down to the bottom

1739
05:22:28.840 --> 05:22:37.319
of the spine, each time releasing tension and opening up

1740
05:22:37.959 --> 05:22:47.159
the body, stretching your body so that you feel more

1741
05:22:47.279 --> 05:23:04.680
relaxed but at the same time rejuvenated. And now I'm

1742
05:23:04.720 --> 05:23:08.360
going to move to one side, to your right side,

1743
05:23:13.200 --> 05:23:17.720
and from the bottom of your ribs to your pelvis,

1744
05:23:18.799 --> 05:23:25.040
I'm going to message that area of your back. I'll

1745
05:23:25.159 --> 05:23:28.159
stretch over the other side and i will pull the

1746
05:23:28.319 --> 05:23:35.119
muscles gently and massage and push from one end that

1747
05:23:35.360 --> 05:23:39.200
side or the way to my side to in the

1748
05:23:39.319 --> 05:23:44.880
middle of fact to where your spine is, massaging that

1749
05:23:45.159 --> 05:23:49.840
side of your spine the opposite side to where I'm standing.

1750
05:23:52.200 --> 05:23:58.159
It's almost like kneading bread. There's that big area.

1751
05:23:58.000 --> 05:23:58.400
Which is.

1752
05:24:01.040 --> 05:24:10.479
Yeah, lots there to message. Potentially one of the most

1753
05:24:10.560 --> 05:24:17.680
important places to actually have a message because you really

1754
05:24:17.959 --> 05:24:23.360
feel it. You really feel the release and the pleasure

1755
05:24:24.720 --> 05:24:31.959
of having your lower back messaged. It releases so much

1756
05:24:32.479 --> 05:24:40.880
from your body that's not useful, starting a healing process

1757
05:24:42.520 --> 05:24:55.279
which will continue long after this recording is over. The

1758
05:24:55.479 --> 05:24:58.560
message in this part of your body not only feels

1759
05:24:58.720 --> 05:25:04.759
really good for you, it's actually fun to do because

1760
05:25:04.799 --> 05:25:10.200
it is, as I said, like kneading bread, it's a

1761
05:25:10.279 --> 05:25:14.479
part that you can really get hold of and really

1762
05:25:14.680 --> 05:25:28.200
massage deeply. If that's your choice, they're going to move

1763
05:25:28.279 --> 05:25:30.599
over to the other side of your body and do

1764
05:25:30.759 --> 05:25:36.400
the same with the opposite part.

1765
05:25:38.799 --> 05:25:39.680
Of your law back.

1766
05:25:42.279 --> 05:25:51.080
Kneading and messaging from your sides or way to the

1767
05:25:51.200 --> 05:25:58.919
middle of your back where your spine is pressing and

1768
05:25:59.400 --> 05:26:10.000
kneading firm and gentle at the same time. It feels

1769
05:26:10.479 --> 05:26:22.959
so releasing. This mixture of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation

1770
05:26:24.400 --> 05:26:34.319
or mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your stomach

1771
05:26:34.799 --> 05:26:39.799
as it's being stretched. Even though you're in your stomach now,

1772
05:26:40.400 --> 05:26:44.200
you can feel it being stretched because that whole area

1773
05:26:44.360 --> 05:26:55.400
is connected to your stomach. Now we're going to move

1774
05:26:55.720 --> 05:27:00.479
or move further up to your top of your body,

1775
05:27:01.119 --> 05:27:07.680
and I'm gonna do the same this time, starting with

1776
05:27:08.840 --> 05:27:14.400
your upper back. Put my hands forward over and massive

1777
05:27:14.560 --> 05:27:21.560
massage in that area up to your spine, from the

1778
05:27:21.720 --> 05:27:25.880
side of your body up to your spine. So some

1779
05:27:26.040 --> 05:27:32.720
of that message area, that muscle tissue or whatever fatty

1780
05:27:32.799 --> 05:27:38.080
tissue even will be possibly from your chest because it's

1781
05:27:38.080 --> 05:27:45.119
all connected. The chest and the back connect together. I'm

1782
05:27:45.159 --> 05:27:48.360
going to be massaging and just pulling some of that

1783
05:27:48.599 --> 05:27:59.279
skin from your side up and massaging that area of

1784
05:27:59.400 --> 05:28:07.840
your upper back all the way to your spine. And

1785
05:28:07.959 --> 05:28:10.720
then I'll move down a bit and I'll continue with

1786
05:28:10.840 --> 05:28:13.680
the middle of your back doing exactly the same thing.

1787
05:28:17.560 --> 05:28:31.360
There's gentle as deep as you choose. Now, I'll move

1788
05:28:31.560 --> 05:28:35.720
or the other side again and do the exact same

1789
05:28:35.919 --> 05:28:39.880
thing with the top of your back on the other side,

1790
05:28:40.959 --> 05:28:55.000
from pretty much underneath your arm area really to your spine,

1791
05:29:00.159 --> 05:29:06.720
and they continue in that all the way down, including

1792
05:29:06.880 --> 05:29:23.840
your lower your middle of your back. I'm gonna go

1793
05:29:24.319 --> 05:29:30.560
to your thighs, the backs of your thighs, and the

1794
05:29:30.759 --> 05:29:40.680
sides of your thighs, starting with your right leg. Massage

1795
05:29:40.799 --> 05:29:50.319
in the back and the sides of your thighs gently

1796
05:29:50.599 --> 05:29:56.520
and firmly. There's a lot of muscles there. It's an

1797
05:29:56.560 --> 05:29:59.799
area that can be very tense at times and ma

1798
05:30:00.119 --> 05:30:03.200
be needs a little bit more pressure than the rest

1799
05:30:03.240 --> 05:30:11.400
of the body that's up to you. You can gently

1800
05:30:11.560 --> 05:30:18.840
stroke the back of your legs where you know, opposite

1801
05:30:18.880 --> 05:30:24.439
your knee joint or underneath your knee joint, very sensitive,

1802
05:30:24.720 --> 05:30:37.319
gentle area, and then working down to your calf muscles.

1803
05:30:40.240 --> 05:30:46.599
Massage in your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose,

1804
05:30:50.119 --> 05:31:09.319
using both hands fingers, digging deep to your ankles and

1805
05:31:09.439 --> 05:31:15.639
the back of your back of your ankles, just gently

1806
05:31:15.880 --> 05:31:28.200
message in that area, maybe lifting the leg and stretching

1807
05:31:28.319 --> 05:31:53.599
a little bit. Moving to the right foot, massaging the

1808
05:31:53.680 --> 05:32:00.680
bottom of your feet and the size of your feet

1809
05:32:07.840 --> 05:32:17.279
gently but firm enough so they don't tickle, and just

1810
05:32:17.400 --> 05:32:23.000
allow the pleasure that you get from having your feet

1811
05:32:23.119 --> 05:32:32.720
messaged to just overtake you as I continue to message

1812
05:32:32.799 --> 05:32:42.279
your feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides your arches,

1813
05:32:43.000 --> 05:32:47.759
your heel. You can put a lot of pressure into

1814
05:32:47.840 --> 05:32:53.880
your heel and it feels amazing, Yet the arches need

1815
05:32:54.000 --> 05:33:02.400
to be a bit more gentle, stretching your toes gently,

1816
05:33:05.119 --> 05:33:09.439
and massage in the bottoms of your toes with my fingers,

1817
05:33:11.880 --> 05:33:25.680
each one individually. Moving her to the left leg to

1818
05:33:25.799 --> 05:33:34.000
do exactly the same thing, starting at the top of

1819
05:33:34.119 --> 05:33:38.759
the thighs, work in the back of the thighs and

1820
05:33:38.840 --> 05:33:51.279
the sides, massaging deeply and gently the whole area, working

1821
05:33:51.360 --> 05:34:01.840
all the way down. This is an area that maybe

1822
05:34:04.360 --> 05:34:12.840
you could like to spend more time relaxing and messaging. Perhaps,

1823
05:34:13.759 --> 05:34:18.599
if you wanted, I could make a future recording wants

1824
05:34:18.599 --> 05:34:27.560
spend more time on one particular area. As you moved

1825
05:34:27.639 --> 05:34:40.279
down to your calf muscles, Massage in your calf muscles

1826
05:34:41.799 --> 05:34:55.720
firmly and gently, moving down your ankle into your feet,

1827
05:34:57.560 --> 05:35:03.880
Massage in bags of your feet, the bottoms of your feet,

1828
05:35:09.000 --> 05:35:16.000
stretching your toes and message in each to individually. And

1829
05:35:16.159 --> 05:35:22.040
the feeling of pleasure and release. The experience in your

1830
05:35:22.119 --> 05:35:44.279
having your feet messaged feels really good. Now, she turn

1831
05:35:44.439 --> 05:35:55.560
over in your mind. Laying on your back, I'm just

1832
05:35:55.639 --> 05:36:08.959
going to start again your neck area and your shoulders,

1833
05:36:12.959 --> 05:36:23.360
just to get back in touch with that area and

1834
05:36:23.520 --> 05:36:35.159
lets you move up. I can clean my hands beat

1835
05:36:35.240 --> 05:36:38.799
them more fresh because now I'm going to message your

1836
05:36:38.880 --> 05:36:55.279
face simply starting off with your forehead. Your eyes are closed,

1837
05:36:56.639 --> 05:37:01.000
I can just stretch your eye is a little bit,

1838
05:37:02.080 --> 05:37:13.080
pushing up on your eyebrows, just messaging around your scalp,

1839
05:37:18.799 --> 05:37:28.279
massaging down your cheeks, around your ears, into your jaw,

1840
05:37:29.439 --> 05:37:52.840
schiply the side of your neck chin, and just moving

1841
05:37:53.040 --> 05:38:04.200
down from your neck down to your chest, starting by

1842
05:38:04.360 --> 05:38:11.479
message in the very top of your chest where the

1843
05:38:11.599 --> 05:38:24.959
collar phone is. Give a side of the collarbone, and

1844
05:38:25.040 --> 05:38:37.720
then just message in the hole of the chest, moving

1845
05:38:37.799 --> 05:38:51.400
the chest around. Because it's quite a large area. You

1846
05:38:51.439 --> 05:38:59.200
can move from one side to the next, moving my

1847
05:38:59.400 --> 05:39:10.159
hands underneath pretty much where your arms up, stretching up,

1848
05:39:12.319 --> 05:39:15.360
stretching some of the muscles of your back in the process,

1849
05:39:20.639 --> 05:39:29.319
moving up over your chest and then moving down again.

1850
05:39:42.040 --> 05:39:47.520
Then allowing my hands they just message gently and slide

1851
05:39:47.840 --> 05:39:54.360
down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,

1852
05:39:57.799 --> 05:40:04.639
and then gradually my hands moving apart and massaging and

1853
05:40:04.919 --> 05:40:14.400
sliding at the same time, moving down to just below

1854
05:40:14.439 --> 05:40:29.599
your red cage, moving down and then messaging up again,

1855
05:40:32.400 --> 05:40:40.279
giving your chest all the attention that it needs to

1856
05:40:40.479 --> 05:40:52.680
feel completely relaxed, remembering that I'm also going to be

1857
05:40:52.799 --> 05:40:58.840
focusing on your sides as well, an area that really

1858
05:40:59.119 --> 05:41:06.680
doesn't get much attention but feels really good when it's massaged.

1859
05:41:11.599 --> 05:41:15.599
Just stroking my hands down the sides of your body,

1860
05:41:19.400 --> 05:41:22.840
just below your arms, all the way down to your hips.

1861
05:41:32.479 --> 05:41:38.479
Now move into your stomach area. We're gonna stand on

1862
05:41:38.560 --> 05:41:41.119
one side of you like I did when I did

1863
05:41:41.200 --> 05:41:47.439
your lower back. I'm gonna do a similar process of

1864
05:41:47.680 --> 05:42:02.479
just stretching the muscles from your side, gently massaging from

1865
05:42:02.560 --> 05:42:03.880
one side to the next.

1866
05:42:06.200 --> 05:42:06.639
Move in.

1867
05:42:09.200 --> 05:42:13.400
The whole area from below your ribs all the way

1868
05:42:13.479 --> 05:42:24.360
down to below your belly button, and then move around

1869
05:42:24.439 --> 05:42:34.279
to the other side of you and repeat that process

1870
05:42:34.639 --> 05:42:47.680
of relaxing deeply, calmly. You feel loose, you feel free.

1871
05:42:50.080 --> 05:42:54.759
And it's something about having your stomach message that's different

1872
05:42:54.840 --> 05:43:01.680
from any other part because we do have a tendency

1873
05:43:02.279 --> 05:43:06.159
of holding a different kind of stress in her stomach

1874
05:43:07.599 --> 05:43:15.439
that we may not be aware of. There's a now

1875
05:43:15.599 --> 05:43:23.840
message your stomach in front of your stomach, making circles

1876
05:43:25.319 --> 05:43:34.520
around your belly, buttom thing going the other way around.

1877
05:43:41.279 --> 05:43:47.639
The gentleness and a freedom that comes from feeling how

1878
05:43:47.720 --> 05:43:57.880
you're feeling, there's a now move down the tops of

1879
05:43:57.959 --> 05:44:05.000
your thighs, muscles, massaging them, and I can do this

1880
05:44:06.000 --> 05:44:14.240
to your legs at the same time, pressing down, massaging

1881
05:44:14.759 --> 05:44:20.319
deeply those muscles in your thighs, the front of your thighs,

1882
05:44:25.799 --> 05:44:31.319
and moving down to your knees, gently massaging your knees,

1883
05:44:36.599 --> 05:44:42.639
sliding down your shins, putting pressure on either side of

1884
05:44:42.759 --> 05:44:55.799
your shin gently softly but firmly, moving down to your ankles,

1885
05:45:00.759 --> 05:45:10.400
stroking the tops of your feet, and then with each

1886
05:45:11.720 --> 05:45:17.159
foot in each hand, just gently messaging the hole of

1887
05:45:17.240 --> 05:45:26.040
the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel, your ankle,

1888
05:45:26.919 --> 05:45:39.200
your toes, messaging every part of your feet. Feels so good.

1889
05:45:39.959 --> 05:45:54.119
Just to let go and enjoy the process, Enjoy feeling

1890
05:45:56.680 --> 05:46:09.959
so deeply relaxed. So much comfort and so many feelings

1891
05:46:11.720 --> 05:46:26.200
come just from touching your skin. And you can just

1892
05:46:27.360 --> 05:46:36.799
lie there for as long as you choose, enjoying the

1893
05:46:37.080 --> 05:46:45.439
feeling of deep comfort from being massaged.

1894
05:46:47.439 --> 05:46:47.759
By me.

1895
05:46:54.919 --> 05:46:59.799
Enjoy feeling.

1896
05:47:03.599 --> 05:47:04.000
Deeply.

1897
05:47:15.400 --> 05:47:21.880
And all we're gonna do is blow out some candles.

1898
05:47:24.400 --> 05:47:39.479
In your mind, there are going to be a hundred candles,

1899
05:47:46.599 --> 05:47:52.360
and you're going to blow each one out individually, one

1900
05:47:52.759 --> 05:48:00.000
by one, starting at one hundred, as I count down

1901
05:48:05.360 --> 05:48:12.200
all the way down to one, and each time I

1902
05:48:12.479 --> 05:48:21.560
say a number, you can imagine that candle in front

1903
05:48:21.639 --> 05:48:32.639
of you, and I'd like you to actually physically generally

1904
05:48:32.759 --> 05:48:48.240
blow that candle out, just so it's not a big blow.

1905
05:48:48.319 --> 05:49:02.319
It's just a gentle, and that candle will extinguish, and

1906
05:49:02.520 --> 05:49:06.840
then I'll say the next number. As we move down,

1907
05:49:10.080 --> 05:49:16.599
then you can just blow that one out as well.

1908
05:49:22.520 --> 05:49:31.040
And as we move down the numbers, you'll find yourself

1909
05:49:32.159 --> 05:49:34.959
feeding more and more relaxed.

1910
05:49:37.959 --> 05:49:38.799
If you need.

1911
05:49:40.279 --> 05:49:49.520
To sleep, you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy.

1912
05:49:53.400 --> 05:50:00.840
In fact, you may struggle to blow out all one

1913
05:50:01.000 --> 05:50:17.840
hundred of these candles as you feel more and more

1914
05:50:18.200 --> 05:50:46.080
deeply relaxed, more and more deeply tired, and the further

1915
05:50:46.479 --> 05:50:56.159
you go down, the more your mind starts to drift.

1916
05:51:02.560 --> 05:51:09.000
You may find that you stop listening to me after

1917
05:51:09.119 --> 05:51:21.959
a while. And even though there may be background sounds

1918
05:51:22.080 --> 05:51:32.840
where you are, you'll be aware of those sounds at

1919
05:51:32.919 --> 05:51:33.720
the moment.

1920
05:51:38.720 --> 05:51:39.439
You may.

1921
05:51:42.720 --> 05:51:57.520
Start to just not even notice them at all because

1922
05:51:57.680 --> 05:52:11.240
they're unimportant. Where I am, I've got the sounds of

1923
05:52:11.360 --> 05:52:18.599
the birds. There's horrorst the pigeon who likes to say hello.

1924
05:52:18.880 --> 05:52:30.799
Sometimes there's the old plane that goes by, maybe traffic

1925
05:52:31.159 --> 05:52:41.840
and trains in the distance, But none of that scene

1926
05:52:42.000 --> 05:52:55.639
is important. Whatsoever. Or candles you blow out, the less

1927
05:52:55.759 --> 05:53:12.880
important anything is more candles you blow out, the further

1928
05:53:13.479 --> 05:53:36.400
seemed to move away, sounds, general date, days, stuff seems

1929
05:53:36.639 --> 05:53:53.959
to just move away on its own. You feel calmer

1930
05:53:57.720 --> 05:54:14.240
with every candle you blow out, guiding you to the

1931
05:54:14.439 --> 05:54:27.400
next number. Did you hear me say? And then you

1932
05:54:27.599 --> 05:54:54.720
blow that candle out too? So easy, so simple. I'm

1933
05:54:54.840 --> 05:55:08.560
gonna start by hmm, introducing the first candle. This is

1934
05:55:08.639 --> 05:55:25.919

1935
05:55:26.880 --> 05:55:43.119
blow that candle out, you'll find immediately a slight change

1936
05:55:47.000 --> 05:55:55.279
in how you feel, as well as a real sense

1937
05:55:55.439 --> 05:56:26.080
of positivity. I'm within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding. Starting

Or let go.

1970
06:54:08.919 --> 06:54:15.080
Of all of those thoughts, worries, concerns about the past,

1971
06:54:16.919 --> 06:54:21.439
thoughts about the future, and even things you've been thinking

1972
06:54:21.479 --> 06:54:29.080
about today. Just let it all go because none of

1973
06:54:29.119 --> 06:54:39.000
it is useful in this moment. This is your opportunity

1974
06:54:43.599 --> 06:54:58.200
to just focus on feeling relaxed, allowing yourself to get

1975
06:54:58.279 --> 06:55:07.680
in touch with that natural sense of peace that we

1976
06:55:07.880 --> 06:55:14.599
all have within us. It's available for everyone. It just

1977
06:55:14.720 --> 06:55:19.840
sometimes takes a little bit of effort to set up

1978
06:55:20.000 --> 06:55:25.880
the right time and place in order for you to

1979
06:55:26.279 --> 06:55:35.159
just let go. Because when you do decide to let

1980
06:55:35.279 --> 06:55:40.439
go and relax, that's what your body starts to do

1981
06:55:43.720 --> 06:55:51.200
because you've chosen, You've chosen to just allow your body

1982
06:55:51.639 --> 06:56:00.159
to unwind and your mind starts to slow down. It's

1983
06:56:00.200 --> 06:56:04.799
a nice feeling. It's a nice feeling at the beginning,

1984
06:56:05.040 --> 06:56:13.759
just to know that you have chosen to decide to

1985
06:56:13.919 --> 06:56:21.720
relax deeply, and because you've made that decision, your body

1986
06:56:22.959 --> 06:56:28.959
will just follow suit. Because sometimes all the muscles in

1987
06:56:29.080 --> 06:56:34.799
your body need is just permission from you to relax

1988
06:56:38.799 --> 06:56:43.639
because so often we're busy, we're going from here to there,

1989
06:56:43.799 --> 06:56:49.560
we're walking around, and we're doing stuff, and the body

1990
06:56:49.599 --> 06:56:57.680
doesn't have any time or space to really relax deeply.

1991
06:57:01.159 --> 06:57:03.799
So it kind of waits for you to lead the way,

1992
06:57:05.919 --> 06:57:16.000
waits for your permission. And when you do give your permission,

1993
06:57:17.680 --> 06:57:20.200
when you give to say so, when you say okay,

1994
06:57:21.479 --> 06:57:28.560
it's time for your body to let go completely and

1995
06:57:28.720 --> 06:57:40.119
relax totally, your body just follows. So like a breath

1996
06:57:40.200 --> 06:57:49.279
of relief. Ah good, I can now relax and feeling

1997
06:57:50.279 --> 06:57:53.520
at the end of a day of very physical day

1998
06:57:53.680 --> 06:57:57.360
that you may experience in the past, where you get

1999
06:57:57.479 --> 06:58:00.240
home and you just sit down on a chair. Yeah,

2000
06:58:01.040 --> 06:58:04.880
maybe you kick your shoes off and our arm feels

2001
06:58:05.240 --> 06:58:10.080
so nice knowing that you don't have to get up

2002
06:58:10.159 --> 06:58:15.040
again for a little while at least, and if you choose,

2003
06:58:15.159 --> 06:58:17.599
you can just sit there for maybe an hour to

2004
06:58:20.319 --> 06:58:32.560
feels blissful. And just by sitting down like that, your

2005
06:58:32.599 --> 06:58:38.279
body knows that it's time to relax. Your body has

2006
06:58:38.400 --> 06:58:45.240
been given permission from you because it's a mindset. In

2007
06:58:45.360 --> 06:58:56.400
your mind, you're prepared to let go of everything and

2008
06:58:57.319 --> 06:59:05.759
just completely allow all the stress of your body to evaporate,

2009
06:59:09.439 --> 06:59:23.840
an intensions can just gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really,

2010
06:59:29.439 --> 06:59:36.479
because that sense of relaxation in your body, it's a

2011
06:59:36.599 --> 06:59:43.040
very natural state. It's not something unusual. It may feel

2012
06:59:43.159 --> 06:59:46.799
unusual when you first start to relax, if you if

2013
06:59:46.840 --> 06:59:51.200
you haven't really spent a lot of time focusing and

2014
06:59:51.919 --> 06:59:56.439
giving yourself this space to let go completely and relax

2015
06:59:57.360 --> 07:00:05.439
may seem almost alien, but it isn't. It's actually the

2016
07:00:05.599 --> 07:00:10.560
most natural thing in the world to let go completely,

2017
07:00:12.279 --> 07:00:20.080
to relax totally, the most natural thing in the world

2018
07:00:22.720 --> 07:00:32.799
to allow yourself to feel really calm in your mind.

2019
07:00:35.360 --> 07:00:43.080
And it is almost like a literal unwinding. It's like

2020
07:00:43.240 --> 07:00:50.799
you press a button and all the tension just releases,

2021
07:00:52.159 --> 07:00:55.560
and it's like a wheel, like a cog, like the

2022
07:00:55.680 --> 07:00:59.560
inside of the clock just unwinding. And it's almost like

2023
07:01:00.319 --> 07:01:05.799
see that the little wind up knob that's used just

2024
07:01:05.959 --> 07:01:10.119
going the opposite way that you choose to wind it up,

2025
07:01:12.919 --> 07:01:22.240
and the energy that frymeetic stress for energy gradually winding down,

2026
07:01:23.520 --> 07:01:30.880
losing its power, losing its strength as a sense of

2027
07:01:31.040 --> 07:01:42.799
relaxation becomes stronger and deeper, and you may find a

2028
07:01:42.959 --> 07:01:50.240
the more relaxed you feel that your mind starts to wonder.

2029
07:01:53.360 --> 07:01:59.200
Maybe you seem to stop listening to me for a while,

2030
07:02:00.840 --> 07:02:06.159
your mind goes somewhere else, and then you realize you're

2031
07:02:06.240 --> 07:02:11.479
listening to me again, and that it's just your mind

2032
07:02:11.639 --> 07:02:21.919
to drifting to sleep, which is quite natural, because sometimes

2033
07:02:22.119 --> 07:02:29.159
when we're stressed and tense, we're not mean I actually

2034
07:02:29.279 --> 07:02:34.200
be aware of what we need or we physically your

2035
07:02:34.279 --> 07:02:44.520
emotionally need in this moment. But when you allow your

2036
07:02:44.599 --> 07:02:50.360
body and mind to relax completely, and you let go

2037
07:02:50.479 --> 07:03:00.919
of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas all the goo allow

2038
07:03:01.080 --> 07:03:11.479
them to drop onto the floor, you start to get

2039
07:03:11.599 --> 07:03:22.919
in touch with the feelings of such relaxation. Feelings so

2040
07:03:23.279 --> 07:03:31.119
nice to be in touch with the calmness of the

2041
07:03:31.200 --> 07:03:44.240
different body parts as they become looser and looser. Believe

2042
07:03:44.319 --> 07:03:56.200
in your breathing seems easier and more natural, effortless, as

2043
07:03:56.279 --> 07:04:01.479
that cool air is for your mouth or no into

2044
07:04:01.560 --> 07:04:12.439
your lungs, breathing in comforts and relaxation, and then just

2045
07:04:12.599 --> 07:04:21.880
breathing out any excess remain intentional stress from every part

2046
07:04:22.119 --> 07:04:29.479
of your body and mind. And as you start to

2047
07:04:29.639 --> 07:04:35.759
focus on your mind, maybe you notice that things that

2048
07:04:38.159 --> 07:04:44.599
come to a standstill or maybe just much much lower

2049
07:04:45.360 --> 07:04:55.080
than before, because your mind is not really needed when

2050
07:04:55.240 --> 07:05:03.279
listening to my voice, which allows your mind to relax

2051
07:05:05.360 --> 07:05:13.360
just as deeply as your body. And that's synchronicity between

2052
07:05:14.919 --> 07:05:26.680
the relaxation of your body relaxation of your mind. Let

2053
07:05:26.880 --> 07:05:41.759
you know, feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed is a

2054
07:05:42.000 --> 07:05:58.720
great healing experience fear and has so many positive benefits

2055
07:06:00.319 --> 07:06:06.439
for your body, mind, and your life. To be able

2056
07:06:06.560 --> 07:06:16.720
to lect go everything and to relax completely you know,

2057
07:06:17.439 --> 07:06:26.840
all parts of your body and mind. Even your bones relaxed,

2058
07:06:30.200 --> 07:06:42.759
or your muscles are relaxed, even the skin that covers

2059
07:06:43.080 --> 07:06:57.560
your body is relaxed. Every ha you have.

2060
07:06:59.319 --> 07:07:00.159
Is also.

2061
07:07:02.080 --> 07:07:19.200
Deeply relaxed, and your brain really starts to feel the benefits.

2062
07:07:20.520 --> 07:07:20.840
Of this.

2063
07:07:22.439 --> 07:07:24.439
Heathing relaxation.

2064
07:07:29.759 --> 07:07:30.400
And as you.

2065
07:07:30.639 --> 07:07:37.119
Focus on the inside of your scalp where your brain is,

2066
07:07:39.000 --> 07:07:46.799
you can start to realize and notice the benefits of

2067
07:07:46.959 --> 07:07:50.400
your brain relaxing deeply.

2068
07:07:54.919 --> 07:07:55.599
And as your.

2069
07:07:55.639 --> 07:08:07.919
Brain continues to relax, sense those messages to the rest

2070
07:08:08.279 --> 07:08:27.360
everybody and do mind to really relax more deeply, relaxily,

2071
07:08:29.439 --> 07:08:45.560
more completely, letting go of any remaining thoughts of concerns,

2072
07:08:47.799 --> 07:08:54.080
allow them just to drop onto the floor because they

2073
07:08:54.240 --> 07:09:02.759
are long and necessary in this moment, this moment of

2074
07:09:03.119 --> 07:09:17.599
deep relaxation and calmness, and feeling your brain with deep

2075
07:09:18.919 --> 07:09:44.959
concentrated healing, calming, relaxing, every part of your brain feeling

2076
07:09:48.119 --> 07:10:04.880
so bruse and comfortable, so relaxed and peaceful. Your brain

2077
07:10:06.200 --> 07:10:17.360
feels so light, that's so healthy. That sense of deep

2078
07:10:18.759 --> 07:10:33.479
deep comfort really does allow you to enjoy those ever

2079
07:10:33.840 --> 07:10:45.000
increasing sensations of comfort that are spreading throughout your body,

2080
07:10:49.279 --> 07:11:05.919
relaxing each and every muscle of your body deeper and deeper,

2081
07:11:09.040 --> 07:11:26.680
much more deeper than before, much more comfort spreading through

So piece, so.

So relax and peace, letting go everything. I'm gonna do

2097
07:14:49.360 --> 07:14:56.759
a body scan, focusing on firstly how you feel in

2098
07:14:56.880 --> 07:15:02.279
your body, not trying to change how you feel, not

2099
07:15:02.759 --> 07:15:07.479
trying to relax, not trying to move away from any

2100
07:15:07.599 --> 07:15:16.680
discomfort or stress or tension. Just accepting, observing and accepting

2101
07:15:17.279 --> 07:15:20.680
how you feel in the different parts of your body,

2102
07:15:22.639 --> 07:15:31.040
Just allowing yourself to be exactly as you are, to

2103
07:15:31.279 --> 07:15:39.479
notice to get in touch with how you actually feel

2104
07:15:40.560 --> 07:15:49.360
in this moment. I'm going to start off by focusing

2105
07:15:50.639 --> 07:16:03.360
on your hands. Just be aware of your hands, like

2106
07:16:03.479 --> 07:16:07.919
you to move your hands around, Just maybe move your

2107
07:16:08.159 --> 07:16:15.360
fingers a little bit open and closing your hands very gently,

2108
07:16:17.000 --> 07:16:22.680
just so that you can get in touch with how

2109
07:16:22.799 --> 07:16:37.000
your hands and your fingers feel, very very slow movements.

2110
07:16:45.400 --> 07:16:53.159
Focusing now on your feet, and if you can just

2111
07:16:53.319 --> 07:16:58.680
do kind of an equivalent with your feet you've just

2112
07:16:58.959 --> 07:17:07.159
done with your hands. Maybe turn in your ankles, moving

2113
07:17:07.240 --> 07:17:19.040
your feet around, moving your toes gently, only very gently

2114
07:17:19.319 --> 07:17:31.240
and very slowly, noticing how your feet feel in this moment.

2115
07:17:38.159 --> 07:17:40.159
Focusing now and your eyes.

2116
07:17:43.159 --> 07:17:44.360
I'd like you to just.

2117
07:17:45.959 --> 07:17:51.759
Focus on your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close

2118
07:17:51.840 --> 07:17:56.040
your eyes a couple of times to really get in

2119
07:17:56.240 --> 07:17:59.880
touch with how you feel. When you do close your

2120
07:18:00.000 --> 07:18:07.919
your eyes, the muscle changes in your eyes when you

2121
07:18:08.040 --> 07:18:16.880
did close them, maybe raising your eyebrows, it stretches the

2122
07:18:17.080 --> 07:18:27.880
tops of your eyes, perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up

2123
07:18:27.959 --> 07:18:29.680
your eyes just.

2124
07:18:29.759 --> 07:18:30.400
So you can.

2125
07:18:31.759 --> 07:18:32.080
Hear it.

2126
07:18:32.200 --> 07:18:42.159
Get in touch with all aspects of how your eyes

2127
07:18:42.680 --> 07:19:01.159
feel right now. Now focusing on your thighs then you

2128
07:19:01.240 --> 07:19:05.200
know it just starts you to gently tense your thighs,

2129
07:19:06.560 --> 07:19:16.400
just very very gently, just enough so you can become

2130
07:19:18.000 --> 07:19:29.040
more attuned to the physical sensation of your upper legs,

2131
07:19:31.279 --> 07:19:34.080
the front of your thighs, and the backs of your

2132
07:19:34.159 --> 07:19:49.880
thigh noticing and observing how your thighs feel right now,

2133
07:19:58.000 --> 07:20:06.119
moving your focus to the back of your neck, just

2134
07:20:06.479 --> 07:20:12.880
noticing the back of your neck the muscles, and of

2135
07:20:13.000 --> 07:20:17.400
course they lead to the side of your neck. They

2136
07:20:17.439 --> 07:20:22.799
also lead to the top of your back, which leads

2137
07:20:22.840 --> 07:20:28.360
to your shoulders. So as you focus on the back

2138
07:20:28.439 --> 07:20:35.080
of your neck, maybe you can move your head gently

2139
07:20:35.479 --> 07:20:42.680
upwards as if you're looking up, Maybe moving your head

2140
07:20:42.840 --> 07:20:50.560
down as if you're looking down. Perhaps moving your head

2141
07:20:50.759 --> 07:21:00.360
side to side, right to left, but only very slowly,

2142
07:21:02.759 --> 07:21:11.000
very gently. I'm not trying to force anything. It has

2143
07:21:11.200 --> 07:21:21.880
to be very very gentle, just so it can be

2144
07:21:23.000 --> 07:21:33.720
more in touch with the feelings, with the sensations, the

2145
07:21:34.000 --> 07:21:42.840
physical sensations of how on the back of your neck feels.

2146
07:21:44.599 --> 07:22:00.080
Right now, as we now focus on the tops of

2147
07:22:00.159 --> 07:22:06.400
your arms, the parts where your biceps and your triceps

2148
07:22:06.439 --> 07:22:14.040
are between your elbow and your shoulders. So you focus

2149
07:22:14.479 --> 07:22:20.759
on those parts the tops of your arms. You may

2150
07:22:21.919 --> 07:22:31.599
like to just tense them, but very very gently and slowly,

2151
07:22:34.159 --> 07:22:42.200
so you're straining or putting any pressure whatsoever.

2152
07:22:43.080 --> 07:22:43.959
On your arms.

2153
07:22:46.680 --> 07:22:49.080
It's just so that you can.

2154
07:22:51.599 --> 07:22:58.759
Gain more of a sense of how your upper arms

2155
07:23:00.360 --> 07:23:12.240
are feeling in this moment, just noticing as you gently,

2156
07:23:14.400 --> 07:23:24.040
very gently and slowly tighten the muscles, and then leto

2157
07:23:28.279 --> 07:23:33.680
notice how the tops of your arms feel.

2158
07:23:36.200 --> 07:23:36.680
Right now.

2159
07:23:44.840 --> 07:23:56.080
As now focus on your stomach, the area the lower

2160
07:23:56.200 --> 07:24:02.360
abdomen area below your belly button, moving all the way

2161
07:24:02.520 --> 07:24:16.319
down to your hips, just above your grind. Maybe you're

2162
07:24:16.400 --> 07:24:27.240
able to tense these muscles in the area very very gently.

2163
07:24:30.200 --> 07:24:31.279
And slowly.

2164
07:24:36.959 --> 07:24:41.360
If that's a difficult thing to do, maybe you can

2165
07:24:41.560 --> 07:24:52.240
just move your body, pushing your stomach up, maybe moving

2166
07:24:52.279 --> 07:24:57.479
a little bit to a side using your hips, just

2167
07:24:58.080 --> 07:25:03.720
so you get at more in tune.

2168
07:25:05.040 --> 07:25:06.240
With how your.

2169
07:25:06.959 --> 07:25:14.799
Lower abdomen area is feeling.

2170
07:25:17.240 --> 07:25:18.159
In this moment.

2171
07:25:24.759 --> 07:25:47.360
Just noticing the physical sensations or your lower abdomen as.

2172
07:25:47.680 --> 07:26:00.919
Move your attention to your mouth. Notice see your lips

2173
07:26:02.959 --> 07:26:11.439
and inside your mouth, your teeth, your guns, your tongue,

2174
07:26:21.040 --> 07:26:26.560
Just noticing how your tongue and your mouth feels.

2175
07:26:29.599 --> 07:26:29.639
It.

2176
07:26:29.799 --> 07:26:38.840
May help by moving your tongue around your mouth, moving

2177
07:26:38.919 --> 07:26:46.279
it to your left, maybe pressing it gently against the

2178
07:26:46.560 --> 07:26:52.720
side of your mouth, and then to the right, gently

2179
07:26:53.240 --> 07:26:59.840
to the side of your mouth, perhaps pressing up against

2180
07:27:00.080 --> 07:27:08.080
the top of your mouth, and then down gently against

2181
07:27:08.159 --> 07:27:18.639
the bottom of your mouth, always very slowly and a

2182
07:27:19.240 --> 07:27:23.439
very very gentle.

2183
07:27:27.880 --> 07:27:29.040
So that you can.

2184
07:27:32.680 --> 07:27:44.959
Be aware of how you feel in your mouth area.

2185
07:27:56.240 --> 07:28:16.799
Now going to focus on your wrists, and I'll ask

2186
07:28:17.000 --> 07:28:25.599
you to maybe just routine your wrists by moving your

2187
07:28:25.799 --> 07:28:38.639
hands in a circular motion very gently and slowly, just

2188
07:28:40.479 --> 07:29:01.959
soly can feel the sensations that you are currently eperiences

2189
07:29:02.599 --> 07:29:16.080
in purists. Perhaps smooth in your hands up and down

2190
07:29:18.759 --> 07:29:41.080
the game very very jape and slowly, very chance.

2191
07:29:44.759 --> 07:29:46.200
And slow.

2192
07:30:00.240 --> 07:30:17.200
Now start to observe your lower back. There bad part

2193
07:30:17.560 --> 07:30:34.759
is just above your hips, where your coxis are the

2194
07:30:35.119 --> 07:30:42.000
whole area which also really does include the signs of

2195
07:30:42.159 --> 07:30:52.959
your body because those muscles are very much connected. There's

2196
07:30:53.040 --> 07:31:00.360
those muscles also move into your hyperia, connecting to your

2197
07:31:00.479 --> 07:31:18.919
buttics side of your hips. And if you're physically able

2198
07:31:19.119 --> 07:31:28.319
to do so, maybe you can very gently just move

2199
07:31:28.479 --> 07:31:41.520
your body ever is slightly, very slowly, some side to side,

2200
07:31:45.240 --> 07:32:02.080
just enough to engage how you feel your lower back,

2201
07:32:09.680 --> 07:32:26.159
perhaps sickly, your hips gently up and down, gently and slowly,

2202
07:32:29.439 --> 07:32:30.360
in order to.

2203
07:32:34.919 --> 07:32:36.479
Be in touch.

2204
07:32:38.799 --> 07:33:02.560
With the physical sensations of your lawer back. As we know,

2205
07:33:08.000 --> 07:33:19.000
your attention to your jaw an area for your chin

2206
07:33:20.279 --> 07:33:24.400
all the way up to near where your ears are.

2207
07:33:27.639 --> 07:33:40.159
All of your jaw, you can just.

2208
07:33:42.400 --> 07:33:43.880
It's okay to do so.

2209
07:33:45.799 --> 07:33:56.319
Gently open your mouth nor wide nice stretcher, just very

2210
07:33:57.080 --> 07:34:09.680
gently and slowly open in your mouth, closing your mouth

2211
07:34:12.080 --> 07:34:30.919
very gently and slowly, so you can be in touch

2212
07:34:37.720 --> 07:35:11.119
with how your jaw feels. Now I have to sit

2213
07:35:11.360 --> 07:35:27.279
down your chest area. You don't need to do anything

2214
07:35:29.240 --> 07:35:36.080
to move your chest because it moves every time we breathe.

2215
07:35:41.400 --> 07:35:55.319
It moves very gently and slowly automatically with each breath

2216
07:35:55.680 --> 07:36:21.159
you takee as you focus on your chest films when

2217
07:36:21.360 --> 07:36:59.520
you breathe, live in your focus to your forms, your elbows.

2218
07:37:05.479 --> 07:37:11.880
Maybe you're able to very gently.

2219
07:37:13.240 --> 07:37:15.360
And slowly.

2220
07:37:17.119 --> 07:37:25.639
Tense the muscles in your forearms, and when you do that,

2221
07:37:26.159 --> 07:37:49.720
you can feel your elbows as well, very gently and slowly,

2222
07:37:58.159 --> 07:38:29.400
gently and softly observing your forearms and del bas no

2223
07:38:38.439 --> 07:38:57.040
focus the rest of her back, the upper back and

2224
07:38:57.439 --> 07:39:15.400
the middle the middle of your back. Again, this part

2225
07:39:15.599 --> 07:39:16.720
of your body.

2226
07:39:19.400 --> 07:39:19.880
Moves.

2227
07:39:22.000 --> 07:39:31.680
Also every time you pray. You may not notice that.

2228
07:39:33.880 --> 07:39:45.959
Usually mas you observe your upper back in the middle

2229
07:39:46.040 --> 07:39:58.200
of your back, you can really feel that gentle.

2230
07:40:03.439 --> 07:40:04.439
And it's.

2231
07:40:45.880 --> 07:41:02.520
Moving your focus into your hip area. Buttecks Bray, there's

2232
07:41:02.520 --> 07:41:36.119
a muscle as at those bones in your midsection. Just

2233
07:41:36.479 --> 07:41:58.840
noticing how your hips feel right now, you can very

2234
07:41:59.439 --> 07:42:15.200
fairy gently used your hips, maybe sighed the side gently

2235
07:42:15.520 --> 07:43:07.400
and s yeah, Harry, gently, softly and slowly. Everything starts

2236
07:43:07.720 --> 07:43:23.119
to slow down, including the thoughts in your mind and

2237
07:43:23.240 --> 07:43:33.319
your mind itself just starts to gradually. It doesn't have

2238
07:43:33.439 --> 07:43:41.200
to be instant, but just gradually starting to It's almost

2239
07:43:41.319 --> 07:43:52.439
like time is storing chin it's a slower pace to

2240
07:43:52.680 --> 07:43:58.319
maybe what you're used to in your day to day life.

2241
07:44:01.479 --> 07:44:28.439
It's a slower movement of energy, very small movements which

2242
07:44:28.560 --> 07:44:36.680
make up the larger movements, which is always the case. Now,

2243
07:44:36.759 --> 07:44:41.319
when you move your hand, it might seem like it's

2244
07:44:41.439 --> 07:44:47.159
one movement, but it's lots of minute different muscles moving

2245
07:44:49.319 --> 07:44:58.279
in accordance with each other. And what happens in this

2246
07:45:00.200 --> 07:45:09.680
space that we're sharing is we move from.

2247
07:45:12.360 --> 07:45:15.000
That big.

2248
07:45:19.439 --> 07:45:31.040
Movement into those smaller movements. Starting to focus on.

2249
07:45:36.360 --> 07:45:42.599
How your body feels, not just as a whole, not

2250
07:45:42.880 --> 07:45:48.200
just oh, i'm feeling this way. I'm feeling stressed or tense,

2251
07:45:48.439 --> 07:45:53.880
or I'm feeling relaxed and calm. I'm feeling this way,

2252
07:45:54.000 --> 07:46:00.880
I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice that your body

2253
07:46:05.200 --> 07:46:14.840
begins to present to you small feelings around your body,

2254
07:46:21.400 --> 07:46:33.479
small physical sensations in your legs, whether pleasurable or not.

2255
07:46:38.880 --> 07:46:47.959
Maybe resisting the temptation to label them or to judge

2256
07:46:48.000 --> 07:46:55.520
them those feelings, just thinking them, thinking about them is

2257
07:46:55.680 --> 07:47:12.880
just being neutral feelings, not being particularly concerned, but just

2258
07:47:13.319 --> 07:47:28.240
noticing what your body is telling you. Feelings in your

2259
07:47:28.439 --> 07:47:35.959
arms instead of feeling the hole of the arm, maybe

2260
07:47:36.200 --> 07:47:49.799
notice those individual feelings, all those different muscles and the skin,

2261
07:47:53.040 --> 07:47:58.840
the hairs of your arms, all the internal parts of

2262
07:47:58.919 --> 07:48:15.040
your arms, the vein means the bones, just being aware

2263
07:48:15.159 --> 07:48:23.560
of maybe your elbow on your right arm has a

2264
07:48:23.720 --> 07:48:35.200
certain feeling. Maybe your left wrist also has its own

2265
07:48:36.479 --> 07:48:56.360
individual physical sensation. What about your forearm on your right arm,

2266
07:48:58.520 --> 07:49:11.720
your right forearm, There may not be any particular feeling

2267
07:49:11.880 --> 07:49:19.880
that you could even give a name to, may not

2268
07:49:20.080 --> 07:49:25.959
feel like anything other than just a feeling. Yeah, it's there.

2269
07:49:32.279 --> 07:49:38.000
The feelings in your shoulders, perhaps your shoulders when you

2270
07:49:38.119 --> 07:49:41.840
think about them, kind of almost like they're the same,

2271
07:49:42.959 --> 07:49:48.840
you know, the same feeling, almost like both of your

2272
07:49:48.880 --> 07:50:02.040
shoulders are just one thing. Of course they're not. And

2273
07:50:02.119 --> 07:50:07.439
when you focus on your left shoulder and then on

2274
07:50:07.520 --> 07:50:14.599
your right shoulder, maybe find that you move the muscles

2275
07:50:14.639 --> 07:50:26.240
a little bit, maybe tense the muscles gently, noticing the

2276
07:50:26.400 --> 07:50:57.639
difference in each shoulder. Your lower back, the left side

2277
07:50:57.759 --> 07:51:01.360
of your lower back and the right side of your

2278
07:51:01.400 --> 07:51:13.599
lower back, of course that connection to your buttocks and

2279
07:51:13.759 --> 07:51:25.680
to your hips, and also moving up into the middle

2280
07:51:25.720 --> 07:51:39.599
of your back. And sometimes like right now, actually when

2281
07:51:39.680 --> 07:51:43.919
I focus on their part, when I focused on my buttocks,

2282
07:51:45.799 --> 07:51:49.520
and then I focused on the middle of my back.

2283
07:51:49.880 --> 07:51:52.680
I almost felt like the muscles in my lower back

2284
07:51:52.759 --> 07:52:02.599
were being stretched very gently, just stretched a little bit.

2285
07:52:04.520 --> 07:52:11.279
Even though I wasn't doing anything to try to stretch

2286
07:52:13.319 --> 07:52:17.639
your lower back, it just seemed to happen. The feeling

2287
07:52:18.319 --> 07:52:38.319
of very gently stretching your lower back comes along. I

2288
07:52:38.400 --> 07:53:03.240
have feeling in your chest, just noticing what sensations you

2289
07:53:03.919 --> 07:53:20.959
are experiencing in your chest right now. And there's so

2290
07:53:21.159 --> 07:53:25.599
much of the chest. Obviously, there's the collar bone leading

2291
07:53:25.799 --> 07:53:32.159
to the chest. You've got the chest bone, You've got

2292
07:53:32.240 --> 07:53:40.360
the muscles in your chest. Of course, if you're female,

2293
07:53:41.040 --> 07:53:48.240
there's possibly the breasts. If you're male, you've got the

2294
07:53:51.080 --> 07:53:54.319
different well why not that different these days, But.

2295
07:53:56.479 --> 07:53:57.639
There may be more.

2296
07:53:59.360 --> 07:54:05.680
Muscles at the top of the chest, but at the

2297
07:54:05.840 --> 07:54:10.720
side underneath it's pretty much the same. Whether you're a

2298
07:54:10.799 --> 07:54:15.840
man or a woman. There's muscles there, muscles that stretch

2299
07:54:15.959 --> 07:54:21.520
out to your back as well as breast tissue stretches

2300
07:54:22.159 --> 07:54:29.400
and moves into your back. To just being aware of

2301
07:54:29.479 --> 07:54:50.520
your chest, being with whatever feeling there is in your chest.

2302
07:55:06.040 --> 07:55:09.200
And when I noticed that I focused on my chest.

2303
07:55:13.599 --> 07:55:18.840
I feel it in my back, my upper back. I mean,

2304
07:55:18.919 --> 07:55:21.880
I guess the obvious reason would be because you know,

2305
07:55:21.880 --> 07:55:32.639
I'm greeath in in and it stretches my chest and

2306
07:55:33.000 --> 07:55:46.840
my back at the same time. It feels it feels okay,

2307
07:55:53.439 --> 07:55:58.279
it doesn't feel I got a little bit of pain

2308
07:55:58.400 --> 07:56:05.000
in my right chest, A little bit not pain, but

2309
07:56:05.159 --> 07:56:15.400
little discomfort, maybe stiffness possibly, I don't know. I notice

2310
07:56:15.439 --> 07:56:23.119
my shoulders are also wanting to flex for some reason.

2311
07:56:25.279 --> 07:56:32.680
I think that's probably part of my upper back, that

2312
07:56:32.880 --> 07:56:37.959
connection between my shoulders my upper back, because I can

2313
07:56:38.040 --> 07:56:42.840
move my shoulders and stretch the muscles in my back,

2314
07:56:45.360 --> 07:56:51.880
moving the shoulders backwards or up, which then moves I

2315
07:56:51.959 --> 07:57:08.080
think it's the scapulous in your back. It feels quite nice. Actually,

2316
07:57:13.400 --> 07:57:16.599
a good thing about this is you can, if you

2317
07:57:16.720 --> 07:57:30.680
want to, you can just flex or stimulate the various

2318
07:57:30.880 --> 07:57:38.360
muscles in your body gently in order to get more

2319
07:57:38.400 --> 07:57:48.720
of a sense of how they feel. And when you're relaxing.

2320
07:57:53.520 --> 07:57:57.560
When you do tense and muscle, then you let it

2321
07:57:57.720 --> 07:58:02.200
go and you let it relax. It relaxes.

2322
07:58:04.240 --> 07:58:05.400
Way more.

2323
07:58:06.720 --> 07:58:16.759
Than it would normally. That you have to feel that

2324
07:58:16.840 --> 07:58:20.599
you're able to do that. There's no point in doing

2325
07:58:20.639 --> 07:58:26.200
it if there's an issue with the per part of

2326
07:58:26.279 --> 07:58:35.479
your body. You need to be gentle with yourself at

2327
07:58:35.720 --> 07:58:49.560
all times when relaxing deeply. It's important to be kind

2328
07:58:50.279 --> 07:59:05.000
to yourself. As you notice your mind and how much

2329
07:59:06.119 --> 07:59:13.759
has your mind slowed down since we started this recording.

2330
07:59:29.799 --> 07:59:45.400
How come and peaceful is your mind right now? We

2331
07:59:45.439 --> 07:59:50.959
have nothing to think about and just my voice to

2332
07:59:51.159 --> 08:00:00.840
listen to. Because you know the intention behind and this

2333
08:00:01.119 --> 08:00:10.240
recording is relaxation. At the very least, for you to

2334
08:00:10.520 --> 08:00:15.400
feel more relaxed at the end of the recording than

2335
08:00:15.479 --> 08:00:27.360
you did at the beginning, at the very least, for

2336
08:00:27.479 --> 08:00:39.159
your mind to slow down because your body continues to relax,

2337
08:00:44.560 --> 08:00:57.639
because that's what you want to happen. That's what you expect.

2338
08:01:01.240 --> 08:01:01.840
To happen.

2339
08:01:07.919 --> 08:01:26.400
For relaxation to fill your body, maybe calm your mind

2340
08:01:27.880 --> 08:01:35.400
to the point of boredom. When you start maybe to

2341
08:01:41.040 --> 08:02:21.799
drift away, drift in. It's almost as if you're moving

2342
08:02:22.439 --> 08:02:30.319
further away from your body and your mind just leaving

2343
08:02:30.520 --> 08:02:42.479
that there. Kind of liking it. An escape pod and

2344
08:02:42.599 --> 08:02:46.919
a spaceship a movie. A space movie, you know when

2345
08:02:46.959 --> 08:02:48.400
they get into a little pod.

2346
08:02:48.240 --> 08:02:48.439
In it.

2347
08:02:50.319 --> 08:03:06.840
Since the man far away from the spaceship save to dream,

2348
08:03:15.639 --> 08:04:34.599
continue to relax, drifting so slow and peace, so rare

2349
08:04:47.840 --> 08:05:22.479
and peace, and focusing on that feeling of those individual

2350
08:05:23.000 --> 08:05:32.759
parts of your body that or relaxing. One by one.

2351
08:05:40.400 --> 08:05:40.959
You may.

2352
08:05:42.639 --> 08:05:56.360
Find that every now and then you realize that you

2353
08:05:56.479 --> 08:06:04.880
weren't listening to my voice. Be gives your mind started

2354
08:06:05.080 --> 08:06:19.599
to imagine something different, maybe started to almost move into

2355
08:06:20.560 --> 08:06:28.840
some kind of a dreamy state, and then you become

2356
08:06:28.919 --> 08:06:36.520
aware of my voice again. And even though you may

2357
08:06:38.560 --> 08:06:43.520
want to focus on my voice, you may also wish

2358
08:06:43.880 --> 08:06:57.240
to allow your mind to just drift naturally into that

2359
08:06:57.560 --> 08:07:19.799
space of comfort and safety. As you feel more comfort

2360
08:07:21.639 --> 08:07:35.439
spreading through your body like a warm blanket covering you gently,

2361
08:07:39.439 --> 08:07:57.560
keeping your body at just the perfect temperature. And even

2362
08:07:57.720 --> 08:08:09.720
if you can hear background sounds, they just don't seem

2363
08:08:09.880 --> 08:08:26.599
to matter anymore. There's that sense of peace spreads through

2364
08:08:26.720 --> 08:08:40.360
your mind like a gentle breeze, yet strong enough to

2365
08:08:40.560 --> 08:08:56.799
blow away all negativity, strong enough to remove from your

2366
08:08:56.959 --> 08:09:14.759
mind any anxiety or stress that was there before, and

2367
08:09:15.040 --> 08:09:25.720
blow away any other thoughts or feelings that just don't

2368
08:09:26.080 --> 08:09:50.279
fit with the sense relaxation that is feeling your body

2369
08:09:55.360 --> 08:10:15.040
end your mind unless you focus on your mind, and

2370
08:10:15.040 --> 08:10:20.919
the countdown from ten down to one, and with each

2371
08:10:21.520 --> 08:10:46.560
number you hear, your mind will become slightly more relaxed,

2372
08:10:49.319 --> 08:10:57.680
just just slightly so, from ten down to nine, just

2373
08:10:57.799 --> 08:11:05.080
a slight movement. From nine down to eight, just another

2374
08:11:07.000 --> 08:11:21.759
small change in how you feel. Eight down to seven,

2375
08:11:24.520 --> 08:11:29.959
that feeling is a gap, almost like a gap that

2376
08:11:30.319 --> 08:11:39.959
starts to get wider, the gap between those feelings that

2377
08:11:40.159 --> 08:11:47.080
you used to have in your mind compared to the

2378
08:11:47.279 --> 08:11:54.799
feelings you have there growing now, feelings of comfort and

2379
08:11:55.080 --> 08:12:06.720
security and confidence, and the gap becomes wider. Make down

2380
08:12:06.840 --> 08:12:13.639
to seven, seven, down to six, and when you get

2381
08:12:13.720 --> 08:12:20.759
to five, your mind will start to have a certain

2382
08:12:22.159 --> 08:12:33.720
physical sensation, most like there's a magnet outside of your

2383
08:12:33.840 --> 08:12:40.639
head sucking the tension and the stress and any remaining

2384
08:12:41.759 --> 08:12:48.119
feelings that you don't want, sucking them out through your skull.

2385
08:12:53.880 --> 08:12:59.040
And in down to four you can start to really

2386
08:12:59.560 --> 08:13:07.240
expect experience that sense of not just emptiness, but space,

2387
08:13:12.599 --> 08:13:21.560
a place full of fresh air, place where you can stretch.

2388
08:13:25.080 --> 08:13:27.720
It's almost as if as you go down to four

2389
08:13:28.520 --> 08:13:37.319
and three, your mind is expanding, with this sense of

2390
08:13:38.000 --> 08:13:50.200
peace and tranquility growing as it moves down to when

2391
08:13:50.240 --> 08:13:59.599
you get to one, your mind just feels exactly how

2392
08:13:59.720 --> 08:14:15.880
you want to feel, almost a perfect feeling, maybe a

2393
08:14:19.000 --> 08:14:20.240
sensation that.

2394
08:14:21.880 --> 08:14:23.240
You'd like to keep.

2395
08:14:26.279 --> 08:14:37.119
A place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,

2396
08:14:48.840 --> 08:14:53.560
and you can stay in that that space of comfort

2397
08:14:53.599 --> 08:15:03.360
and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this

2398
08:15:04.279 --> 08:15:10.279
space and this fearing of comfort within your own mind

2399
08:15:11.840 --> 08:15:21.759
just by counting ten down to one. And this is

2400
08:15:21.919 --> 08:15:26.319
something that you can do yourself when you're on your

2401
08:15:26.400 --> 08:15:35.200
own a time when you can maybe sit down, maybe

2402
08:15:35.360 --> 08:15:46.439
just for a few minutes, close your eyes, just count

2403
08:15:47.000 --> 08:16:00.599
slowly from ten down to one and re experience these

2404
08:16:00.799 --> 08:16:11.119
feelings in your mind. And when you feel that way

2405
08:16:11.279 --> 08:16:26.240
in your mind, your body copies your mind, and that

2406
08:16:26.560 --> 08:16:33.080
feeling it's spread through your spine and your nervous system

2407
08:16:33.759 --> 08:16:41.080
into every part of your body, travels through your blood stream,

2408
08:16:46.639 --> 08:17:07.159
heathing and relaxing every particle of your existence. And we

2409
08:17:07.279 --> 08:17:16.479
can practice this a few times before the end of

2410
08:17:16.520 --> 08:17:21.279
the recording, and then you can practice on your own,

2411
08:17:23.400 --> 08:17:28.400
and each time you come from ten down to one,

2412
08:17:33.080 --> 08:17:44.119
the feelings of comfort, calmness, and deep deep relaxation become

2413
08:17:44.520 --> 08:18:00.400
stronger and deeper feeling your mind and your brain with

2414
08:18:00.639 --> 08:18:10.159
these positive chemicals that spread throughout your body, relaxing you

2415
08:18:12.119 --> 08:18:21.639
so quickly, relaxing your whole body and mind so very

2416
08:18:23.319 --> 08:18:34.560
very easily, just by counting from ten down to one.

2417
08:18:39.720 --> 08:18:42.720
So we're going to do now. I'm going to count

2418
08:18:42.799 --> 08:18:47.200
from ten down to one. I'd like you to repeat

2419
08:18:47.360 --> 08:18:54.240
the number after me. So when I say ten, you

2420
08:18:54.319 --> 08:19:06.720
can just repeat to yourself ten. Just notice, be aware

2421
08:19:08.040 --> 08:19:15.319
of how you feel in your mind and your body,

2422
08:19:19.759 --> 08:19:26.720
and when I say nine, you can repeat to yourself.

2423
08:19:29.119 --> 08:19:29.439
Nine.

2424
08:19:33.400 --> 08:19:44.599
Became noticing the increase in comfort and calmness in your

2425
08:19:44.799 --> 08:19:55.400
mind and in your body, the same when I say eight,

2426
08:19:58.439 --> 08:20:10.040
when I say seven, six, when I say five, four,

2427
08:20:14.000 --> 08:20:26.000
when I say three, two, and lastly when I say one,

2428
08:20:28.400 --> 08:20:39.319
you can bet that number. Now. Of course, when you

2429
08:20:40.599 --> 08:20:45.919
do this on your own without listening to me, you

2430
08:20:46.080 --> 08:20:52.799
can say the numbers or whatever speed that you feel

2431
08:20:53.799 --> 08:21:02.599
is necessary for you, so you can adapt. So you

2432
08:21:02.799 --> 08:21:07.040
feel you want to say the numbers ten down to

2433
08:21:07.319 --> 08:21:13.520
one faster than I do, then you go ahead and

2434
08:21:13.680 --> 08:21:17.759
do that. Or if you feel when you do it yourself,

2435
08:21:18.479 --> 08:21:24.680
then you'd like to have more more space between the numbers,

2436
08:21:27.279 --> 08:21:33.680
maybe take a lot longer to get from ten all

2437
08:21:34.119 --> 08:21:42.200
the way down to one. That's your choice also to do.

2438
08:21:52.200 --> 08:21:54.919
So I'm going to count from ten down to one.

2439
08:22:00.599 --> 08:22:03.759
I want to get to one. That will be the

2440
08:22:04.000 --> 08:22:09.720
end of this recording. And let's of course you're listening

2441
08:22:09.840 --> 08:22:59.279
with music, and the music will continue ten nine eight

2442
08:24:27.840 --> 08:27:39.119
four twenty ninety eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirty twelve eleven.

2443
08:27:43.599 --> 08:27:49.119
Ten nine.

2444
08:27:53.279 --> 08:28:08.799
Eight seven mm six five.

2445
08:28:13.599 --> 08:28:18.720
Four three.

2446
08:28:23.479 --> 08:28:47.040
Two one. Now open your eyes, noticing how you physically

2447
08:28:47.159 --> 08:28:56.159
feel having counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress

2448
08:28:56.279 --> 08:28:59.959
and tension to leave through your fingertips and your tape.

2449
08:29:01.720 --> 08:29:06.400
And as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel

2450
08:29:06.400 --> 08:29:13.200
a little bit tingling, which is I suppose quite understanding

2451
08:29:13.360 --> 08:29:18.400
considering the tension has been exiting your body through your fingertips.

2452
08:29:24.880 --> 08:29:26.880
So now I'm going to count from twenty down to

2453
08:29:27.000 --> 08:29:34.240
one again. This time you go to feel relief of

2454
08:29:34.400 --> 08:29:45.119
tension and stress, any anxiety that you may have leaving

2455
08:29:47.360 --> 08:29:53.319
through your stomach, just leaving through your stomach, almost as

2456
08:29:53.360 --> 08:30:00.520
if it's just releasing the whole of your stomach naval

2457
08:30:02.000 --> 08:30:04.959
to just above your chest or below your chest, rather

2458
08:30:06.040 --> 08:30:09.319
so surrounding your belly by an area. The whole area

2459
08:30:11.439 --> 08:30:16.040
you can feel the tension of your body where's left,

2460
08:30:16.319 --> 08:30:21.599
just releasing from that area, and you may notice that

2461
08:30:21.759 --> 08:30:27.959
your stomach will become very relaxed as I countdown from

2462
08:30:28.080 --> 08:31:52.119
twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirty, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

2463
08:31:56.240 --> 08:32:13.200
three two. Or you can open your eyes again if

2464
08:32:13.240 --> 08:32:16.799
you choose, or you can just keep them closed because

2465
08:32:16.840 --> 08:32:23.680
it feels relaxing. Just notice how your stomach feels. I

2466
08:32:23.799 --> 08:32:27.560
notice as your focus, just do a little scan of

2467
08:32:27.639 --> 08:32:41.000
your body. Just notice saying your body feels focusing upper body, back, chests, stomach,

2468
08:32:41.279 --> 08:32:52.639
lax arms, hands, feet, just noticing, and you know, you

2469
08:32:52.799 --> 08:32:58.159
may start to feel more of a sense of tiredness,

2470
08:32:59.439 --> 08:33:05.000
which the reason listening to this recording because.

2471
08:33:04.799 --> 08:33:06.680
You like to.

2472
08:33:08.319 --> 08:33:20.200
Let go completely of everything and drift off into a nice, natural, calm,

2473
08:33:20.599 --> 08:33:35.799
relaxing sleep. So now we have focus on your forehead,

2474
08:33:39.720 --> 08:33:42.479
and if you choose, you can incorporate your eyes in

2475
08:33:42.639 --> 08:33:49.520
this focus as well. Your forehead and your eyes, it's

2476
08:33:49.599 --> 08:33:54.119
that whole area basically almost as if you were wearing

2477
08:33:54.119 --> 08:33:58.479
a mask, you know, like a I don't know, Batman

2478
08:33:58.680 --> 08:34:05.000
mask or something or I'm trying to sorrow or something.

2479
08:34:05.080 --> 08:34:07.159
You know, the kind of mask that covers your eyes

2480
08:34:07.680 --> 08:34:13.599
but also covers quite a lot of the forehead. I'm

2481
08:34:13.680 --> 08:34:16.680
focusing on that area because that's the area that we're

2482
08:34:16.759 --> 08:34:23.680
now going to release tension, stress from your mind, your brain,

2483
08:34:23.959 --> 08:34:27.520
from your mind, and any tension that you may have

2484
08:34:27.840 --> 08:34:31.919
remain in your face, in your neck and your jaw,

2485
08:34:33.119 --> 08:34:39.279
in your eyes, your forehead, or your scalp. So basically,

2486
08:34:39.479 --> 08:34:45.319
any tension within your head area, including your mind and

2487
08:34:45.520 --> 08:34:53.720
your brain, that's going to be released through your forehead

2488
08:34:53.799 --> 08:35:01.159
and your eyes. As I count down again from twenty

2489
08:35:01.520 --> 08:36:45.400
down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, one,

2490
08:36:53.680 --> 08:37:01.720
Let sid as you scan your face with jaw, your eyes,

2491
08:37:03.080 --> 08:37:12.080
your cheap bones, your ears, your forehead, your scalp, your neck,

2492
08:37:13.560 --> 08:37:16.880
back of your neck and front of your neck, the

2493
08:37:17.119 --> 08:37:28.040
side of your neck, and your throat. Noticing being aware

2494
08:37:28.279 --> 08:37:39.560
of the comfort increased being relaxation, not just in your

2495
08:37:39.759 --> 08:37:45.080
head and neck and mind, also the rest of your body.

2496
08:37:50.200 --> 08:37:55.919
You just notice how loose the calm you fel and

2497
08:37:56.080 --> 08:37:57.520
how easily.

2498
08:37:59.240 --> 08:38:00.759
It is to just let go.

2499
08:38:03.599 --> 08:38:27.799
Completely, let go completely how easily. So what I'm gonna

2500
08:38:27.880 --> 08:38:31.439
do now is I need to focus on the top

2501
08:38:31.520 --> 08:38:41.799
of your head. Am We're going to allow every last

2502
08:38:43.720 --> 08:38:49.799
piece of tension or stress the mind be lingering or

2503
08:38:50.000 --> 08:38:54.639
hiding in your body or mind my head.

2504
08:38:55.959 --> 08:38:56.360
To just.

2505
08:38:58.080 --> 08:39:05.000
Be sucked down on the top of your head and released.

2506
08:39:08.200 --> 08:39:08.840
Into the air.

2507
08:39:09.959 --> 08:39:15.720
It was sucked down into the clouds. Imagine a big

2508
08:39:15.880 --> 08:39:20.720
cloud above your head, almost like a whirlpool.

2509
08:39:21.560 --> 08:39:26.400
It's is gonna suck that tension out the top of

2510
08:39:26.520 --> 08:39:33.040
your head, just take away, good.

2511
08:39:36.040 --> 08:39:39.799
You focus. Imagine an opening on the top of your

2512
08:39:39.919 --> 08:39:46.439
head with that tension and stress and any remaining issues,

2513
08:39:46.639 --> 08:39:50.400
maybe worries of the sads that are no use to you.

2514
08:39:50.599 --> 08:39:54.360
Now you can all be sucked down at the top

2515
08:39:54.400 --> 08:40:02.639
of your head and taken away. That's countdown again, twenty

2516
08:40:03.080 --> 08:40:57.279
down one now, twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen fifty fourteeneen

2517
08:41:03.159 --> 08:41:46.279
too weelve eleven nine, eight, seven, six, five.

2518
08:41:51.520 --> 08:41:56.639
Four three.

2519
08:42:00.680 --> 08:42:06.560
To wha.

2520
08:42:16.759 --> 08:42:17.040
Prey.

2521
08:42:22.159 --> 08:42:35.639
Noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm you physically

2522
08:42:36.639 --> 08:42:50.479
and mentally feel right now, how peaceful your mind feels.

2523
08:42:53.080 --> 08:42:58.319
It feels so nice to just let go, to give

2524
08:42:58.360 --> 08:43:12.439
yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly, just

2525
08:43:12.520 --> 08:43:19.720
to take a break from all that pointless worry concerns

2526
08:43:19.759 --> 08:43:26.959
about things that you don't need to think about right now,

2527
08:43:29.759 --> 08:43:35.520
because this is your time to let go. This is

2528
08:43:35.639 --> 08:43:45.880
your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful in your mind,

2529
08:43:47.119 --> 08:43:56.479
relaxed in your body. They can feel so good, so

2530
08:43:57.040 --> 08:44:05.319
nice to just not have to do anything, to be

2531
08:44:05.479 --> 08:44:16.119
able to really enjoy that serenity that comes of letting

2532
08:44:16.279 --> 08:44:29.759
go completely, that peacefulness that comes with being in this

2533
08:44:31.599 --> 08:44:41.639
peaceful space. And you can keep this sense of calmness

2534
08:44:42.520 --> 08:44:53.639
for as long as you choose. If you choose to

2535
08:44:53.880 --> 08:45:01.080
drift off into a deep, healing, natural sleep, then you

2536
08:45:01.200 --> 08:45:12.720
can do that. It's completely up to you, and you

2537
08:45:12.840 --> 08:45:17.439
can keep this feeling of calmness physically and in your

2538
08:45:17.520 --> 08:45:25.560
mind for it's long as you choose to feel completely relaxed,

2539
08:45:31.279 --> 08:45:40.040
completely relax And I'd like you to make up your

2540
08:45:40.279 --> 08:45:52.959
mind that you're going to relax, and I want to

2541
08:45:53.040 --> 08:45:56.439
explore that with you. What it feels like when you

2542
08:45:56.599 --> 08:46:05.680
actually decide that you're going to relax, not forcing yourself,

2543
08:46:05.799 --> 08:46:11.959
but giving yourself that yes, it is a command, really,

2544
08:46:12.040 --> 08:46:18.959
isn't it When you're telling yourself relax in a gentle

2545
08:46:19.080 --> 08:46:26.119
but firm way, that only you can really tell yourself

2546
08:46:26.560 --> 08:46:29.439
in that way. You can't only have someone else saying

2547
08:46:29.479 --> 08:46:34.319
to you and now it relax, relax, you know, and

2548
08:46:35.520 --> 08:46:37.799
it needs to be gentle, But you can't someone else

2549
08:46:37.840 --> 08:46:45.919
can't really have the same the same kind of influence

2550
08:46:47.080 --> 08:46:55.240
or power that you have over your own physicality, over

2551
08:46:55.439 --> 08:47:04.680
how you feel, because when you say it to yourself,

2552
08:47:05.959 --> 08:47:12.919
it means more. It's personal, and your brain and your

2553
08:47:13.360 --> 08:47:18.040
unconscious mind and your body listens to what you say.

2554
08:47:20.360 --> 08:47:23.840
So for example, we'll test it out and do a

2555
08:47:23.840 --> 08:47:27.799
little test, a few little tests along the way, and

2556
08:47:27.959 --> 08:47:32.919
you can get more of an idea of the force,

2557
08:47:33.880 --> 08:47:40.599
a positive force that you can have in creating a

2558
08:47:40.799 --> 08:47:44.720
sense of comfort and relaxation in your body and your

2559
08:47:44.799 --> 08:47:54.119
mind quite quickly just by you telling yourself to relax.

2560
08:47:58.799 --> 08:48:02.439
So I'm going to start. It's focus on your hands.

2561
08:48:06.080 --> 08:48:08.240
So focus on your hands and just tell your hands

2562
08:48:08.639 --> 08:48:14.560
to relax, and just say relax. As you focus on

2563
08:48:14.680 --> 08:48:21.599
your hands, you could say my hands are relaxed, or

2564
08:48:21.680 --> 08:48:25.799
I want my hands to relax. I think if you

2565
08:48:25.919 --> 08:48:32.720
actually do it, directly by focusing and imagining that your

2566
08:48:32.880 --> 08:48:36.599
hands can hear what you're saying, you know, like they've

2567
08:48:36.599 --> 08:48:42.279
got little ears, which is a little weird. So talking

2568
08:48:42.400 --> 08:48:58.759
to your hands and just say relax, no disin now

2569
08:48:58.840 --> 08:49:14.200
your hands start to relax. Now focus on your eyes

2570
08:49:14.680 --> 08:49:17.959
and tell your eyes to relax. You just say in

2571
08:49:18.040 --> 08:49:25.119
the same word relax and find the right tone for you.

2572
08:49:27.680 --> 08:49:32.080
You know, I might say relax, but you you might

2573
08:49:32.200 --> 08:49:39.520
say relax or relax. You know, you might say it

2574
08:49:39.639 --> 08:49:47.279
differently to yourself, and that's important for you to gauge

2575
08:49:47.560 --> 08:49:52.360
what feels the right for you. To just tell your

2576
08:49:52.560 --> 08:49:58.119
eyes to relax whilst focusing on your eyes, your eyelids,

2577
08:49:58.279 --> 08:50:03.639
the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and just tell

2578
08:50:03.759 --> 08:50:38.840
your eyes directly relax now. Now I just did that myself.

2579
08:50:39.240 --> 08:50:49.040
And sometimes you may feel that you need a bit

2580
08:50:49.159 --> 08:50:54.880
more time for the different parts to relax, you know,

2581
08:50:54.959 --> 08:50:59.439
because I start talking again and maybe that part hasn't

2582
08:50:59.560 --> 08:51:02.759
relaxed fully. But what happened is that it would just

2583
08:51:02.880 --> 08:51:07.520
continue to relax even though I'm talking. And that's happened

2584
08:51:07.639 --> 08:51:14.840
with my eyes. Something else I noticed is when I

2585
08:51:14.919 --> 08:51:19.119
started focusing on my eyes that actually almost became they

2586
08:51:19.200 --> 08:51:21.959
got worse before they got better in a way, so

2587
08:51:22.159 --> 08:51:25.000
that I felt a degree of tension growing in my

2588
08:51:25.119 --> 08:51:31.080
eyes and then disappearing. So I think what that was

2589
08:51:31.200 --> 08:51:35.639
really it was just me becoming more aware of the

2590
08:51:35.880 --> 08:51:41.200
tension that was already there that I wasn't. I wasn't

2591
08:51:41.279 --> 08:51:46.319
focused on it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging it

2592
08:51:46.840 --> 08:52:03.400
or really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes is

2593
08:52:03.599 --> 08:52:07.119
still continuing to relax, as well as my hands. Actually,

2594
08:52:10.599 --> 08:52:16.000
my hands have got a certain kind of energy, like

2595
08:52:16.240 --> 08:52:21.400
not buzzing, but I can kind of feel a degree

2596
08:52:21.439 --> 08:52:27.400
of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where the tension

2597
08:52:27.520 --> 08:52:38.840
is being released. Maybe that's the cause in that the

2598
08:52:38.959 --> 08:52:41.240
next part, I think we should focus on the back

2599
08:52:41.279 --> 08:52:46.040
of the neck. That's the part is quite often well

2600
08:52:46.159 --> 08:52:48.959
for me, holds tension. I don't know about for yourself,

2601
08:52:49.840 --> 08:52:54.119
but I think it's quite a standard place where tension

2602
08:52:54.279 --> 08:53:00.639
is sometimes held. So, and I'm doing the exactly what

2603
08:53:00.759 --> 08:53:03.279
you're doing as you do it as well, so I'm

2604
08:53:03.360 --> 08:53:07.840
telling my body parts to relax as well. So if

2605
08:53:07.880 --> 08:53:10.840
you tell your neck the back of your neck, focus

2606
08:53:10.959 --> 08:53:15.959
on the back of your neck and just say relax

2607
08:53:17.599 --> 08:53:20.279
in your own words, in your own tone, in your

2608
08:53:20.319 --> 08:53:23.119
own voice. You can say out loud, or you can

2609
08:53:23.279 --> 08:53:28.400
just say it to yourself internally. But you're focusing and

2610
08:53:28.479 --> 08:53:32.240
you're saying it literally to the back of your neck,

2611
08:53:33.080 --> 08:53:35.599
as if the back of your neck can actually hear

2612
08:53:36.400 --> 08:53:43.159
what you're saying. So do that now, Just say relax

2613
08:53:43.680 --> 08:54:25.560
so back of your neck and I'll do the same. Now,

2614
08:54:25.639 --> 08:54:30.680
what I noticed, and you may have had similar thing is,

2615
08:54:31.479 --> 08:54:34.040
even though I was focusing on the back of my neck,

2616
08:54:39.080 --> 08:54:45.919
other parts started to, I don't know, show themselves to me,

2617
08:54:46.200 --> 08:54:49.200
or maybe because they want to be relaxed as well.

2618
08:54:49.319 --> 08:54:54.159
But I started noticing the feelings in my shoulders, tension

2619
08:54:54.240 --> 08:54:55.520
in my shoulders, and in.

2620
08:54:55.560 --> 08:54:56.240
My upper back.

2621
08:54:59.319 --> 08:55:03.479
Whether that was because my back of my neck was

2622
08:55:03.560 --> 08:55:09.479
saying I'm pretty much okay. It's the other parts that

2623
08:55:09.680 --> 08:55:18.439
need attention, but my low of my back of my

2624
08:55:18.560 --> 08:55:22.639
neck is still relaxing. But I just became more aware

2625
08:55:22.720 --> 08:55:29.360
of other parts that needed attention. Now, this might happen,

2626
08:55:29.479 --> 08:55:34.360
and it's not. It doesn't mean that it's going wrong.

2627
08:55:34.479 --> 08:55:40.959
It just means you're being notified with more places that

2628
08:55:41.159 --> 08:55:47.479
also want to feel relaxed. So I'm going to focus

2629
08:55:47.799 --> 08:55:51.599
on my upper back so you can do the same

2630
08:55:53.360 --> 08:55:57.959
even if you don't have any feelings of tension that

2631
08:55:58.040 --> 08:56:02.520
are obvious in your upper back, if you just focus

2632
08:56:02.639 --> 08:56:07.639
on your back and the whole area from the shoulder

2633
08:56:07.720 --> 08:56:08.880
blades down.

2634
08:56:10.479 --> 08:56:11.479
To the middle of your.

2635
08:56:11.360 --> 08:56:16.119
Back and a spine and me, it's more the shoulder

2636
08:56:16.159 --> 08:56:23.720
blades there more. Yeah, that's the parts that are really

2637
08:56:25.840 --> 08:56:27.520
sort of given me.

2638
08:56:29.200 --> 08:56:29.880
The nod.

2639
08:56:31.479 --> 08:56:34.279
That it needs relaxing. The sounds gonna ask that wad

2640
08:56:34.360 --> 08:56:49.040
to relax, and you can do the same. Now relax

2641
08:56:49.400 --> 08:57:03.959
up the back. There's something strange happened there.

2642
08:57:04.479 --> 08:57:04.759
And this.

2643
08:57:06.240 --> 08:57:07.119
Often happens.

2644
08:57:07.200 --> 08:57:08.080
I've been doing this for.

2645
08:57:11.000 --> 08:57:17.759
Sixteen years or something, and often I'm I'm surprised but

2646
08:57:18.400 --> 08:57:24.840
amazed really that there can be a feeling. So when

2647
08:57:24.880 --> 08:57:28.159
I was focusing on the back of my neck, my

2648
08:57:28.319 --> 08:57:33.080
upper back was starting to feel quite stressed and in

2649
08:57:33.279 --> 08:57:38.799
need of attention. As soon as I started talking to

2650
08:57:38.959 --> 08:57:43.599
you about my upper back and talking about, you know,

2651
08:57:44.119 --> 08:57:49.319
getting ready to ask the upper back to relax, mipa

2652
08:57:49.360 --> 08:57:54.959
back already started to relax. It's almost as if it

2653
08:57:55.080 --> 08:58:05.360
doesn't need to hear the words, just needs intention, just

2654
08:58:05.560 --> 08:58:18.000
needs to be noticed. That is something that often happens

2655
08:58:18.439 --> 08:58:25.639
in This type of situation is when you start to

2656
08:58:25.799 --> 08:58:30.799
relax a couple of parts of your body, as we've

2657
08:58:30.919 --> 08:58:37.720
done with our hands, our eyes and eyelids, and now.

2658
08:58:38.759 --> 08:58:46.159
Back of the neck, top of the back, up.

2659
08:58:46.119 --> 08:58:49.520
A back, the rest of the body seems to just

2660
08:58:50.919 --> 08:59:00.759
take notice and decide in its own way to start relaxing.

2661
08:59:02.599 --> 08:59:08.000
Other parts of your body start to just become looser.

2662
08:59:12.720 --> 08:59:15.520
I suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche.

2663
08:59:15.720 --> 08:59:20.439
You know, the little ball starts rolling, and before you

2664
08:59:20.599 --> 08:59:23.560
know it, the whole of your body is completely relaxed

2665
08:59:23.639 --> 08:59:40.319
and can't and you can focus on your face. You

2666
08:59:40.439 --> 08:59:48.000
focus on your eyes, your eyelids, your eyebrows, and the

2667
08:59:48.159 --> 08:59:56.720
muscles around your eyes. Maybe you start to notice that

2668
08:59:58.520 --> 09:00:03.560
your forehead is more relaxed than it was. Maybe your

2669
09:00:03.680 --> 09:00:09.479
face is more relaxed. I would say, my entire face

2670
09:00:09.639 --> 09:00:24.240
is a lot more relaxed than it was. So we're

2671
09:00:24.279 --> 09:00:30.759
going to focus now on your shoulders again, just like before.

2672
09:00:32.159 --> 09:00:36.159
Just tell your shoulders and you can do them individually.

2673
09:00:36.279 --> 09:00:39.959
You can do the right shoulder and left shoulder. I

2674
09:00:40.200 --> 09:00:44.200
just literally do both at the same time, and just

2675
09:00:44.360 --> 09:00:47.919
tell your shoulders as you focus on them in your mind,

2676
09:00:49.279 --> 09:00:54.200
focus on them how they feel. Maybe you can see

2677
09:00:54.319 --> 09:01:04.479
them in your mind's eye. Just tell you shoulders to

2678
09:01:04.639 --> 09:01:55.919
relax as nice as they relax. But I didn't notice,

2679
09:01:58.599 --> 09:02:05.520
especially with my back, is the connection between the different parts,

2680
09:02:07.040 --> 09:02:09.479
the back, the shoulders.

2681
09:02:08.919 --> 09:02:09.599
The neck.

2682
09:02:14.959 --> 09:02:19.360
Being all connected and being such a large part of

2683
09:02:19.479 --> 09:02:25.360
your body, it's all it's hard to separate them from

2684
09:02:25.400 --> 09:02:33.560
each other. My lower back is starting to relax on

2685
09:02:33.680 --> 09:02:34.080
its own.

2686
09:02:40.279 --> 09:02:41.400
Maybe I'm going too.

2687
09:02:41.400 --> 09:02:47.400
Slow, and that could be an issue because we all

2688
09:02:47.479 --> 09:02:53.840
go at different speeds. And the idea of the beginning

2689
09:02:53.919 --> 09:02:56.279
of this recording was for you to be able to

2690
09:02:56.520 --> 09:03:12.880
just say to yourself, relax without focusing on any particular

2691
09:03:13.080 --> 09:03:18.840
part of your body. Because when you know that, taving

2692
09:03:18.959 --> 09:03:31.080
your hands to relax and your hands relax, you tell

2693
09:03:31.119 --> 09:03:38.159
your eyelids and your eyes and muscles around your eyes

2694
09:03:39.479 --> 09:03:53.200
and your eyebrows to relax, and they relax. You tell

2695
09:03:53.439 --> 09:04:05.279
the back of your neck to relax, and it relaxes.

2696
09:04:13.240 --> 09:04:14.759
You tell your upper back.

2697
09:04:21.159 --> 09:04:42.720
To relax, and it relaxes. You tell your shoulders.

2698
09:04:43.959 --> 09:04:56.119
To relax, and they relax.

2699
09:05:19.840 --> 09:05:23.880
You told your hands to relax, they relaxed, and they

2700
09:05:24.000 --> 09:05:37.599
continued to relax. When you told your eyelids, the muscles

2701
09:05:37.639 --> 09:05:48.119
around your eyes your eyebrows to relax, They relaxed and

2702
09:05:48.400 --> 09:05:51.520
continue to relax.

2703
09:05:57.880 --> 09:06:01.319
When you told the back of your neck, p you

2704
09:06:01.400 --> 09:06:02.639
some on the back of your neck.

2705
09:06:06.200 --> 09:06:18.080
And told it to relax, it relaxed and continued to relax.

2706
09:06:26.239 --> 09:06:28.559
When you told your upper back.

2707
09:06:31.879 --> 09:06:48.559
To relax, it relaxed and continued to relax. That's with

2708
09:06:48.720 --> 09:06:53.800
your shoulders. You told your shoulders to relax.

2709
09:06:54.160 --> 09:06:54.760
In your.

2710
09:06:57.360 --> 09:07:06.440
Shoulders relaxed, tenues to relax.

2711
09:07:12.120 --> 09:07:17.080
And it's not just that, It's.

2712
09:07:19.760 --> 09:07:24.199
That the rest of your body has also been listening,

2713
09:07:25.879 --> 09:07:31.959
and their relaxation has been spreading. So from your eyes,

2714
09:07:32.319 --> 09:07:39.720
the relaxation spread to your forehead, round your face, into

2715
09:07:39.800 --> 09:07:53.680
your skin, into your jaw, into the fronts and sides

2716
09:07:53.760 --> 09:07:58.519
of your neck, all the way down your chest and stomach.

2717
09:08:05.199 --> 09:08:08.160
Your relaxed hands and shoulders.

2718
09:08:09.599 --> 09:08:12.680
Meet up through your arms.

2719
09:08:13.040 --> 09:08:25.080
Relaxing your forearms, your upper arms, elbords, your wrists, letting

2720
09:08:25.199 --> 09:08:41.919
go your lower back, your hips, buttons growing, or just

2721
09:08:42.279 --> 09:08:50.879
start to relax and continue even more comfort spreading through

2722
09:08:50.959 --> 09:08:51.959
your legs.

2723
09:08:56.800 --> 09:08:58.959
All the way down to your.

2724
09:08:58.919 --> 09:09:08.720
Ankles, the tops of your feet, the sight of your feet,

2725
09:09:10.559 --> 09:09:21.440
and the bottoms of your feet relaxing into your toes,

2726
09:09:25.279 --> 09:09:35.319
each toe relaxing cal plea is.

2727
09:09:47.639 --> 09:09:48.279
And as your.

2728
09:09:48.279 --> 09:10:13.120
Body relaxes more, your mind becomes slower but peaceful, to

2729
09:10:13.279 --> 09:10:14.760
the point where.

2730
09:10:16.680 --> 09:10:35.760
If you choose to fall asleep, you can easy do that, easy.

2731
09:10:36.639 --> 09:10:45.480
Drift the way because there's nothing going on in your mind.

2732
09:10:49.199 --> 09:11:06.559
Your brain is peaceful, your bot continuous to rex.

2733
09:11:29.800 --> 09:11:30.360
And with that.

2734
09:11:30.639 --> 09:11:38.080
Connection between your body relaxing, the word do you say

2735
09:11:38.360 --> 09:11:52.160
to yourself relax means that you don't need to focus

2736
09:11:52.319 --> 09:11:59.239
on just one part. You can just focus on you

2737
09:11:59.440 --> 09:12:00.879
in time, a body.

2738
09:12:07.080 --> 09:12:29.800
Saying the powerful word relas and there's those familiar.

2739
09:12:30.839 --> 09:12:45.959
Sensations of comfort spreading throughout your body, who seeing and

2740
09:12:46.279 --> 09:13:05.639
calming and heathing every part to your body heathing relaxed.

2741
09:13:20.279 --> 09:13:24.000
So all we need to do that one is just

2742
09:13:25.879 --> 09:13:26.879
tell your soth.

2743
09:13:30.480 --> 09:13:48.239
Relax eating completely out for the boy, come.

2744
09:13:59.519 --> 09:13:59.879
M hm.

2745
09:14:04.839 --> 09:15:07.120
Starting now with number twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen fifty

2746
09:15:29.760 --> 09:16:35.919
four eight too well.

2747
09:17:15.760 --> 09:20:23.199
US US.

2748
09:21:01.080 --> 09:23:54.760
Eighths sid.

2749
09:24:21.319 --> 09:24:47.160
Think you.

2750
09:25:01.680 --> 09:27:26.000
US USA.

2751
09:27:54.680 --> 09:28:23.440
One, So counting down from ten to one, ten nine, eight, seven, six,

2752
09:28:25.680 --> 09:28:45.839
five four three two one, And maybe that was a

2753
09:28:45.879 --> 09:28:50.040
bit too quick in order to relax. Maybe it's a

2754
09:28:50.080 --> 09:28:56.199
bit too fast for you to notice the calming of

2755
09:28:56.319 --> 09:29:03.239
your body, maybe even a little bit of pressure. They're like,

2756
09:29:04.400 --> 09:29:06.559
you'll count it down from ten to one. What do

2757
09:29:06.680 --> 09:29:10.120
you expect me to do? Man, expect me to stick

2758
09:29:10.120 --> 09:29:14.080
go with floppy just because you're counting down.

2759
09:29:18.199 --> 09:29:18.400
Too.

2760
09:29:19.400 --> 09:29:22.720
If you try it again, but this time, I go

2761
09:29:22.760 --> 09:29:29.839
a bit slower this time, as you focus on the

2762
09:29:30.000 --> 09:29:34.120
whole of your body before we focus on your legs.

2763
09:29:36.559 --> 09:29:45.720
Just notice how your body does start to feel more

2764
09:29:46.160 --> 09:30:45.839
relaxed with every number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

2765
09:30:53.279 --> 09:31:44.720
three two one, And just notice how how you feel, generally,

2766
09:31:45.160 --> 09:31:56.559
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about yeah,

2767
09:31:59.040 --> 09:32:06.279
counting down from ten to one. It's that space that

2768
09:32:06.440 --> 09:32:12.199
you have, that body space between.

2769
09:32:14.160 --> 09:32:14.760
What sort of.

2770
09:32:17.319 --> 09:32:32.680
Being active physically or mentally, just sitting or lying down,

2771
09:32:33.400 --> 09:32:38.080
just being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, not

2772
09:32:39.000 --> 09:32:45.279
needing to think about anything. So it opens up a space,

2773
09:32:46.279 --> 09:32:55.400
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And

2774
09:32:55.519 --> 09:33:00.120
the more I came down from ten to one, the

2775
09:33:00.199 --> 09:33:08.160
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

2776
09:33:09.599 --> 09:33:24.360
of comfort and relaxation. It's a nice feeling, yeah, and

2777
09:33:24.480 --> 09:33:36.720
it moves those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally moves away.

2778
09:33:43.480 --> 09:33:44.480
Allows you.

2779
09:33:47.160 --> 09:33:47.680
To just.

2780
09:33:50.680 --> 09:33:57.400
Slow down. Someone to count again from ten down to one,

2781
09:33:57.839 --> 09:34:08.040
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

2782
09:34:08.120 --> 09:34:14.480
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the gap.

2783
09:34:27.959 --> 09:34:44.559
It gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine

2784
09:34:48.239 --> 09:35:24.279
six eight, seven, six, five.

2785
09:35:35.120 --> 09:36:29.279
Four three two one.

2786
09:36:40.800 --> 09:37:00.319
And how did you work? Body? Feel? No, can you

2787
09:37:00.480 --> 09:37:16.279
notice that that you're feeling calmer? Are you feeling more relaxed?

2788
09:37:38.760 --> 09:37:43.120
As we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

2789
09:37:59.120 --> 09:38:19.239
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

2790
09:38:19.360 --> 09:38:24.279
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing because

2791
09:38:27.680 --> 09:38:30.559
I'm sure like most of your body is not not

2792
09:38:30.720 --> 09:38:43.040
going on right now. Just focusing on the whole of

2793
09:38:43.160 --> 09:38:49.599
your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides of

2794
09:38:49.680 --> 09:38:56.559
your fighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

2795
09:38:56.639 --> 09:39:01.559
and you're inner thighs, basically the whole of your thigh

2796
09:39:01.680 --> 09:39:10.440
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

2797
09:39:10.639 --> 09:39:24.720
your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's

2798
09:39:24.720 --> 09:39:30.199
a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the strongest

2799
09:39:31.199 --> 09:39:44.400
muscles in your body or in your thighs. But I

2800
09:39:44.480 --> 09:39:52.760
don't think we perhaps will give enough attention to our thighs.

2801
09:39:58.720 --> 09:40:06.319
Perhaps we don't I acknowledge how important our thighs are

2802
09:40:09.440 --> 09:40:26.199
to our lives, how much they actually do for us

2803
09:40:30.120 --> 09:40:40.120
all through our lives. And it may seem to sound

2804
09:40:40.239 --> 09:40:41.000
really weird, but.

2805
09:40:43.839 --> 09:40:45.199
I think that all of our.

2806
09:40:45.160 --> 09:40:56.000
Body parts, especially our thighs, need some TLC, a bit

2807
09:40:56.040 --> 09:41:12.800
of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude

2808
09:41:15.800 --> 09:41:24.599
for what our thighs do for us. And I know

2809
09:41:24.760 --> 09:41:30.839
this may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why

2810
09:41:30.879 --> 09:41:33.599
am I sure? How I should be out in the

2811
09:41:33.680 --> 09:41:42.199
garden hugging a tree or something. Wow, it's hard to

2812
09:41:42.239 --> 09:41:45.480
set a microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm

2813
09:41:45.519 --> 09:41:48.360
doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree.

2814
09:41:49.760 --> 09:41:51.519
I can't see the television.

2815
09:41:51.040 --> 09:41:51.519
From the tree.

2816
09:41:58.199 --> 09:42:02.480
If you move down to your knees gain such an

2817
09:42:02.559 --> 09:42:12.239
important part. And I think we don't necessarily I'll speak

2818
09:42:12.319 --> 09:42:19.639
for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all that my

2819
09:42:19.839 --> 09:42:25.000
needs do for me until I have a problem with

2820
09:42:25.120 --> 09:42:30.239
my knee. It's occasionally if I ever maybe I'll pash it,

2821
09:42:30.559 --> 09:42:36.400
or it's aching for some reason. It's then that I

2822
09:42:36.599 --> 09:42:42.080
realize how much it does. You know, the benefit of

2823
09:42:42.160 --> 09:42:49.599
being able to use my legs without any kind of

2824
09:42:49.760 --> 09:42:58.120
physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated

2825
09:42:58.239 --> 09:43:09.279
until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort. But as

2826
09:43:09.319 --> 09:43:14.680
you focus on your knees, regardless of how your knees feel,

2827
09:43:17.760 --> 09:43:23.519
you can have that sense of gratitude and love to

2828
09:43:23.639 --> 09:43:36.440
your knees for all that they do for you. You

2829
09:43:36.519 --> 09:43:40.959
can still have that attention on your thighs. Maybe notice

2830
09:43:41.040 --> 09:43:50.480
how your thighs feel, Maybe noticed that they are relaxing

2831
09:43:53.120 --> 09:44:06.199
more deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of

2832
09:44:06.279 --> 09:44:11.120
your legs, your shins, and your calf muscles, the bones

2833
09:44:12.199 --> 09:44:18.760
between your knees and your feet incorporates, and of course

2834
09:44:18.879 --> 09:44:32.199
your ankles so important. Anyone that's had even the slightest

2835
09:44:32.680 --> 09:44:38.680
sprain of an ankle knows how how much we take

2836
09:44:40.000 --> 09:44:48.839
our ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange in

2837
09:44:48.919 --> 09:44:54.080
a way when you think that. You know, logically, our

2838
09:44:54.160 --> 09:44:57.599
wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms,

2839
09:44:58.760 --> 09:45:02.319
which is okay, it doesn't can't see any problem with

2840
09:45:02.400 --> 09:45:07.800
that because we're just picking stuff up. But our ankles

2841
09:45:09.599 --> 09:45:19.519
so much thinner than the rest of our legs, and

2842
09:45:19.680 --> 09:45:24.160
from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really

2843
09:45:24.279 --> 09:45:31.519
make sense that all this weight would ultimately be resting

2844
09:45:32.519 --> 09:45:42.519
on your ankles then leading to your feet, a thin area,

2845
09:45:44.040 --> 09:45:53.639
thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work. Supports us,

2846
09:45:53.680 --> 09:46:03.680
supports our body for a lifetime, helps us to balance,

2847
09:46:06.080 --> 09:46:19.000
helps you to get around and be mobile. And there's

2848
09:46:19.040 --> 09:46:26.919
the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I

2849
09:46:26.959 --> 09:46:30.279
couldn't see the point in calf muscles. Didn't seem to

2850
09:46:30.360 --> 09:46:36.279
do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes, then

2851
09:46:36.480 --> 09:46:40.199
my calf muscles get some work. But of course that's

2852
09:46:40.279 --> 09:46:44.279
not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever we

2853
09:46:44.760 --> 09:46:58.279
use our legs and your shins there to protect your

2854
09:46:58.360 --> 09:47:07.360
lower legs, shaped in a way, almost as a protector

2855
09:47:07.839 --> 09:47:22.559
with the bone bleeding of course, to your ankles and

2856
09:47:22.720 --> 09:47:29.639
your feet. We're not going to focus on your feet.

2857
09:47:29.720 --> 09:47:34.080
We're just going to focus on the legs. And I realize,

2858
09:47:36.120 --> 09:47:40.000
and now that I've mentioned your feet, you probably focuses

2859
09:47:40.319 --> 09:47:43.360
on them anyway, So maybe I should focus on your

2860
09:47:43.440 --> 09:47:49.839
feet a little bit. You can have them in your awareness.

2861
09:47:52.000 --> 09:47:55.680
The same as you have your thighs in your awareness.

2862
09:47:56.559 --> 09:48:00.400
Even though we haven't been focusing on your thighs for

2863
09:48:00.400 --> 09:48:05.480
a few minutes, let me focus in on your ankles.

2864
09:48:11.160 --> 09:48:26.400
There's still that sensation of comfort in your thighs, and

2865
09:48:26.480 --> 09:48:35.919
there's that movement of energy because the thighs hold lots

2866
09:48:35.919 --> 09:48:40.839
of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles, the
