00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:12.759
Hello, and welcome to Jasonneuland dot com and my plastic

2
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:20.559
bottle of water that's just heckled me. So my name

3
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.039
is Jason Newland. This is let me bore you to sleep.

4
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.159
Vinnie's culted up next to me. It's very warm, are

5
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:36.600
you Vinnie? And it's all cuddled up. He caught it

6
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:43.640
up next to your daddy, if you are. And what

7
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.759
was I gonna say? Please only listen when you can

8
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:54.159
safety close your eyes. And this is well, I didn't

9
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.399
get an opportunity to do a cure. No, I do

10
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:01.560
a Trivia Tuesday. So this is going to be a

11
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:09.159
Trivia Thursday. Boh bah, I thought, I just why not?

12
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:14.159
Why not? Indeed, I've got the day after day kind

13
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:24.200
of so I did already do a recording earlier on

14
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.760
but on this recording, I'm not even going to mention.

15
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.120
I'm not going to mention any sausages or anything like that.

16
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.599
Just I'm going to focus on the recording. Oh yes,

17
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:54.959
So what I thought I would do is as it's

18
00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:01.760
Trivia Thursday instead of Trivia Tuesday, I find a particularly

19
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:10.759
weird subject, very obscure as it were, and I'm going

20
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:22.680
to focus on animals on trial and moves on trying. Yeah,

21
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.879
that's what I'm doing. Oh I could just could you

22
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.280
feel that excitement and energy as I sung that. It

23
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.719
was like I was on a big stage with guitars

24
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:40.280
and drums and a big microphone and a glipsey suit,

25
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:53.400
you know, obviously showed my midsection of muscles. Actually, I've

26
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.039
been doing problems in my upper back muscles, and yesterday

27
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.199
and today I did some enterpresses and it seems to

28
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.240
have kind of helped. So I'm going to do that

29
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:12.400
every day. And it just I don't know who knows why,

30
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:18.479
but maybe it's because the last month I've done hardly

31
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:24.039
any exercise. I've done hardly any weights. I've done more walking,

32
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.719
but I haven't done because normally do weights every day

33
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.759
for my lower back, which probably helps with my other back.

34
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.319
And I've done hardly anything pretty much in the weight division,

35
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:49.159
in the weight division, in the weight department. So yesterday

36
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.240
and today I've done some bench presses with my dumb bells,

37
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.400
and I actually it's strange, but I can kind of

38
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.639
it feels a bit better. Our back feels better for

39
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.199
doing that. Who knows, who knows why, But I'm not

40
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.680
gonna I'm not gonna moan about it. I'm just going

41
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.720
to enjoy it. So I do. I feel my opper

42
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:22.360
back feels better than it did, so I will continue

43
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.800
to do that every day. I'm only doing a thirty

44
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:31.519
or forty reps. It's not not heavy because technically, I

45
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:36.439
was thinking, if you can do a push up, press up,

46
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:42.639
push up, what you want to call it, Technically I

47
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.680
should be able to bench press my own weight because

48
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.240
that's what you're doing when you do a press A

49
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.279
press up, isn't it or push up? It's your own

50
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:58.040
weight against yourself. So technically I should be able to

51
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:06.959
bench press ninety five kilos or whatever. I am should

52
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:21.480
be able to do that easy, Yeah, I should surely. Yeah.

53
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.399
So it's two hundred pounds, two hundred and something pounds,

54
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.160
so I should be able to do that. I shouldn't.

55
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.439
They shouldn't be hard at all. So really three I

56
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.959
suppose three hundred pounds, technically I should be able to

57
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:41.519
do There's been years since I even bothered with a

58
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.240
bench press, like as in a bench press machine, and

59
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:54.680
I never really enjoyed doing free weights bench presses in

60
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:59.600
the gym like you know, like a proper gym when

61
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:05.040
I was younger, or at any age really, partly because

62
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.079
when I was a kid, i'd do it, and I'd

63
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.600
always choose to bench press machines if there was other

64
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:22.000
people around, even just doing curls arm curls, it was

65
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.959
a little bit I just didn't feel comfortable doing it

66
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:32.120
because there'd always be someone coming around pumping up the

67
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.600
weights and putting on bigger weights than the ones I

68
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.959
was using, showing off and stuff or just that was

69
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:44.000
stronger possibly as well, and I was never really into that.

70
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.040
So I'd be in the gym on my own, doing

71
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.959
my own little thing when I was like a kid fourteen,

72
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.439
and you know, all the tough kids from the steer

73
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.319
below or whatever would all be in there, and they'd

74
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.680
all be like trying to outdo each other, and they'll

75
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:07.000
all have bigger muscles than me, and generally be bigger

76
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.920
than me because I was quite small for my age,

77
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:15.040
very small for my age, and I just I mean,

78
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.399
they didn't show me any disrespect, but it just it

79
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.399
felt a little bit like, oh, okay, if I was

80
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.879
standing there next to them doing only like twenty percent

81
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:32.600
of the weights they were doing, that make me look silly.

82
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.920
They're doing like an arm curl with a barbell, and

83
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.079
then they come along and they'd like, do it. I

84
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.759
don't know what I would have been doing back then,

85
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:51.040
three pounds or something, I don't know, and they'd be

86
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:56.399
coming and doing these big, big weights, and I'm okay,

87
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:04.759
that was bad enough, But then as an adult, it

88
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.800
seemed to be the only people that were doing free weights,

89
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.519
which is about just you know, where you put the

90
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.079
weights on the end of the bars rather than using

91
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.839
the machines. The only people seemed to be doing the

92
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.560
free weights are the huge people, you know, the ones,

93
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:30.279
the bodybuilders types, and I was always going to look really,

94
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:37.879
really silly next to them. I mean, there was one bloke.

95
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.799
He was so big. It's when I was in my twenties.

96
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.360
He was so big and muscular. I stood next to

97
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:49.480
him and I disappeared see me because it was just

98
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:56.639
in comparison. I was like I was invisible, and I

99
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.159
realized I'd fallen down a hole.

100
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:00.399
It was.

101
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:07.840
Not the most enjoyable experience being around people like that.

102
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:15.320
But then I went to a proper bodybuilding gym, not

103
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:19.600
on purpose, I mean I didn't accidentally. I didn't think

104
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.440
it was a headdresser's or kabab shop. I didn't notice

105
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:31.320
a gym. But this was different because the other gyms

106
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.399
I've been in have always been like public general gyms,

107
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.600
you know. But even now, the ones where just anyone goes,

108
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.919
maybe they're open twenty four hours a day and you've

109
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.360
got a little security key and stuff, and you still

110
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.919
get the young lads sort of showing off their muscles

111
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.759
and stuff like that, which is that's what I would

112
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.600
have done if I'd ever been able to, if I'd

113
00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:02.000
ever had the muscles to do that with. But then

114
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:06.200
when I was in Stratford, I went into an actual

115
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:12.720
bodybuilders gym and it was run by a former Mister Universe, WILFH. Sylvester,

116
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.279
And that was a different experience because although there was

117
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.840
huge people training there, none of them were arrogant, none

118
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.039
of them were showing off because they were all big.

119
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.600
It was almost it's a weird one. It's like you

120
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:45.279
had they didn't have to. I guess they were competing

121
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.039
with each other as in, you know, for competitions and stuff,

122
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.120
but there was you had some peoples going in there

123
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.799
for just to train, like me and you It's basically that.

124
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:03.480
And then you had these massive, super fit men and

125
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:10.639
women who were athletes, and I have never been an athlete,

126
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.000
never been one of them. I can't even spell the

127
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:23.559
word let's try a F T L E E E

128
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:31.399
t oh, yeah I can. But that for some reason

129
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:38.080
felt like a more safer space because the man running

130
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:44.080
it didn't take no crap. It was lovely, very friendly.

131
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.720
But at the same time, that was his dream to

132
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.279
own his own gym, so he worked his whole He

133
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.600
worked for years, decades as a bodybuilder and working for

134
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.759
the Ford Car Company in day, and I think they

135
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.559
sponsored him in his bodybuilding career. So he traveled the world,

136
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:12.799
you know, doing bodybuilding contests and stuff. And then when

137
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:18.360
he retired from bodybuilding, maybe he retired from the car

138
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.840
as well, and he went and opened the gym when

139
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:25.519
he was probably I'm guessing probably in his forties early forties.

140
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.159
And in the window of this gym, most walked past

141
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.000
it for years, never went in there. Well I did

142
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.600
go in there eventually, but you know, for years I

143
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.080
brought past it and there was his cardboard plat out

144
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:48.000
of him. I didn't know who he was, Will Sylvester,

145
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.159
even though I used to be really into bodybuilding, when

146
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.679
I was at school, as in reading the magazines and

147
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.320
wishing upon a star. Basically, I thought if I kept

148
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:03.879
reading a magazine, scenes my muscles would grow. It didn't happen.

149
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.000
So I knew quite a lot about bodybuilding. The main

150
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:15.039
people back then at Lee Hani Rich GASPARI, yeah, lots

151
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:19.320
of different ones. Back then. There was al Beccles who

152
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.240
was about ninety years old then and now he's one

153
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.080
hundred and fifty and he's still going strong. And he

154
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.600
was in the top ten I think of the Mister Olympia,

155
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:37.679
the oldest ever top ten like placement in the Mister Olympia,

156
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.919
and he was I think then he was like forty eight,

157
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:47.440
maybe even fifty, maybe fifty, maybe higher than fifty because

158
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.960
it's definitely in his nineties now. And this was not

159
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:58.559
nineteen eighty five, eighty four, a five. Because I used

160
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.080
to take the building magazines. I think one was called Flex.

161
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.679
It was definitely called Flex. Another one was I think

162
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.039
Bodybuilding Monthly, so I should take them into school and

163
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:15.600
read them while I was in classroom. So it was

164
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:21.720
between those magazines and the martial arts magazines also like

165
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.039
the boxing magazines are Ko that was a boxing magazine

166
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.039
I like to read. And then the martial arts magazine

167
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:36.080
was what you'd think I'd remember that one, wouldn't you.

168
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:41.480
What was the martial arts magazine? Kung Fu p not

169
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:55.120
Kung Fu Panda Kung Fu? Can I no? Hm, that

170
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:58.000
would come to me. I could search for it. I

171
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.200
can search kind of, but I can't bother. I've got

172
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.759
the laptop in front of me. But I want to

173
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:14.080
try and see if my memory perhaps works slightly. No,

174
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:23.080
I can't remember. Oh no, nearly had it. It wasn't

175
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:29.320
come through What is it martial arts? It might have

176
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:43.080
been called martial arts, kicking, punching, blocking, fighting, It's some

177
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.279
kind of name. It had a name anyway, And the

178
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.720
specific one I used to buy every month or was

179
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:57.360
it weekly? I think it was every month at least, yeah,

180
00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:04.360
I think it was. It might be fortnightly. No, I

181
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.559
can't remember what it was called. But those were the

182
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.960
types of magazines that I used to read. Well, they're

183
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.360
the ones i'd read in public. It's I'm the only

184
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.720
person that actually had a pot. It's weird. I was

185
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:24.000
a little bit embarrassed about reading bodybuilding magazines, so I

186
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.159
had them so when I was at school, because you

187
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.200
know those desks that you can open up and they're

188
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.200
like wooden desks and they open and you can put

189
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.600
stuff inside. I don't know if you've ever seen those.

190
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.480
That's like from decades ago. I'm not sure if they

191
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:43.799
still exist. Well, I used to hide my magazines and

192
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:45.879
read them with that up or I'd put it on top,

193
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.360
and I didn't want other people to know that I

194
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.679
was reading bodybuilding magazines. So what i'd do is hide

195
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.879
it inside A copy of Playboy seemed to do the

196
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:02.440
trick or Penthouse, whichever one I could whatever managed to

197
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:06.359
find in the bushes. When I say bushes, I mean

198
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.640
like real, Okay, let's just move on. So I talk

199
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.359
that bushes had the trimmer around. It's really weird. They

200
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.880
trimmed everything except one bit. And as we come out

201
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.200
the front of our of where I live, I've got

202
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:27.839
this big hedge's big bush, but they haven't trimmed it

203
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:33.880
off of the pavement, which means I can't see around it.

204
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.160
I know, technicy, I've never been able to see around corners.

205
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.920
I can't see what's coming. I can't see what's you know.

206
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:47.240
It's like really because when I take this little munchkin

207
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.880
out for a walk. I like to said the word

208
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.440
did he hear it? He didn't seem to notice. Good.

209
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.240
He he's asleep. I can't quite see what's coming to

210
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:03.519
the left of me, but they haven't trimmed it back yet.

211
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:10.920
So this what was I talking about?

212
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:11.000
That?

213
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.079
Oh? Yeah, I liked that. That was a good gym

214
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.759
had a punch bag as well. So Wilf was cool.

215
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.799
I got him really well with him just I'd stop

216
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.960
and a chat chat with him. And I didn't really

217
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:32.599
get to know him too, I think ninety six, So

218
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.200
from ninety six to about two thousand and one, I

219
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.279
knew him like to talk to and to chat to,

220
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.640
and I'd sometimes he'd be outside and I'd just have

221
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:46.119
a chat with him. Really nice bloke. I used to

222
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.319
go in there with my cousin in about ninety six,

223
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:54.960
and I think she fancied his son. Yeah, I think

224
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:56.920
she'd Yeah, she did, yeah, because his son used to

225
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:01.960
be a trainer as well. And it's really so down

226
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.240
to such a nice bloke wolf And I'd go in

227
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.160
there sometimes, I just be hitting there on his own

228
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:13.039
and we'd talk train together, and I'll say trained together.

229
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:17.319
He'd he kind of give me a training tips something

230
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:21.200
I couldn't. I wouldn't even be able to spot for him.

231
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.400
So if he was lifting free weights, seemed to doing

232
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.240
the bench press, I'll be no good, you know. So

233
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.680
if he was, if you'd wait a minute, could because

234
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.039
if you don't know what spotting is, basically you're there

235
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:38.000
to help the person with the weights if they if

236
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.000
it's too much, you know, if they've done too much

237
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.759
and you need help. I couldn't help him with his weights.

238
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.839
I couldn't lift them. If you can't lift them, what

239
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.400
the hell am I going to do? You'll form mister universe.

240
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.720
So you know I didn't help him, But we used

241
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.559
to like have a go on the punch bag and

242
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:58.880
hold the punch bag and stuff like that for each other.

243
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:02.200
Just you know. It was a really really nice bloke.

244
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:09.279
Liked them a lot, so I did a whole recorded

245
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:14.079
on him. Actually a few years ago. Animals on trial,

246
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:23.599
so these are many evil legal oddities. From the thirteenth

247
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:27.519
to the eighteenth century in Europe, animals were routinely tried

248
00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:37.079
in secular courts for crimes just like people. Wow, you know,

249
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:44.359
what do you know? When people like in call herself

250
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:50.680
people in the West call ourselves first world countries and

251
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:55.160
how how you know and make fun and maybe like

252
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:01.920
talk about other countries being so outdated, and it's not

253
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:08.880
that long ago that people in my country and all

254
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:23.680
over Europe were taking animals to court. And bearing in

255
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:29.960
mind that, you know, those countries are the ones that

256
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.880
went and you know, spread to other countries. So I'm

257
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.480
sure this stuff probably also went on in America, possibly

258
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:46.079
went on in Australia as well. So yeah, wow, So

259
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:52.319
pigs top the list of pigs. Why did pigs get

260
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.839
such a hard time? Pigs top the list of offenders

261
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:02.119
due to free Roman pigs often called and problems actually

262
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:07.119
you know, maybe hurting people accidentally or damaging property. I'm

263
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.519
gonna water down some of the stuff that it says here,

264
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.480
so I just should point out I've got this list

265
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:20.119
from chatgpt dot com. Don't take any of it's true,

266
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:26.079
and I'm gonna i'm gonna make it if there's anything

267
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.240
that's a little bit horrible, I'm gonna even not mention it,

268
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:37.599
or I will i will make it more palatable. Okay, Yeah,

269
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:39.920
pigs do get a bad time, and the amount of

270
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.240
people say, oh, don't eat pigg as a dirty animal

271
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:50.440
name a clean, one name one clean animal including humans, No,

272
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.480
none a clean. We have points where we are clean.

273
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.400
I'm sure pig is clean. And it's been raining and

274
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.640
it's been rolling around in the rain and mud. But

275
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:10.880
you know, in thirteen seventy nine, so pigs that's unfortunately

276
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.319
caused a lot of problems for a particular man in

277
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:26.039
France were tried, even in court, even pigs who merely witnessed. Really,

278
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:31.839
even pigs who are who merely witnessed the incident were

279
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:44.480
judged guilty. Wow, that that's mind blowing, isn't it. So

280
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:49.359
one thing charging a pig because it stampeded or whatever,

281
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.240
and it got out of hand and it caused serious

282
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.799
problems for someone. But because other pigs who just minded

283
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:02.559
their own business, just sitting there a human role, you know,

284
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:11.000
human sandwich with some eggs, and they had nothing to

285
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.079
do with it. I was just watching you, like, so

286
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:17.240
they're going to get in trouble as well. That doesn't

287
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:28.480
seem fair. Some pigs were found guilty and sentenced to

288
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:37.319
the worst sentence for eating a consecrated host. A consecrated

289
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:43.440
host eating a concert, I don't know what that means.

290
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:48.559
Friday was a serious aggravation. I don't even know what

291
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:57.000
that means. Of course, a concentrated, consecrated host. So so yeah,

292
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:05.440
so not just sober aso. And she asked, is that

293
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:08.559
really the name of a female pig, as she asks?

294
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:13.799
She asked, She asked, sounds more like a donkey, don't it,

295
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.599
she asked? She asked, as so? And as she asked,

296
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:26.359
were condemned to be They were condemned on appeal, but

297
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.640
on appeal they wouldn't. I'm not going to really this out.

298
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:36.240
They basically were condemned to the worst punishment, but in

299
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:44.240
the end they had a lesser punishment, so they really

300
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:52.720
were being treated like humans. Dolphins were tried in Marcels

301
00:25:52.759 --> 00:26:01.680
in fifteen ninety six. Dolphins. What on earth has a

302
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:02.599
can a dolphin?

303
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:02.799
Do?

304
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:17.799
I want to know? A drink ah? A Swiss town's

305
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:28.759
donated moose was believed demonic townspeople. I can't something. This

306
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:34.720
is horrible. I'll tell you what. This medieval people not nice.

307
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.680
This is really I'm glad we've got laws now and

308
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:44.240
this is when we had laws. But oh, anyway, I can't.

309
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:46.599
I just want to say the word the sentence. A

310
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:59.680
Swiss town's donated moose was believed dymnomic, denomic demonic. Okay, weasels, horses, eels, bulls, dogs, sheep,

311
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:12.519
Even rats and locusts faced trials in medieval Europe. Even locusts,

312
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:20.920
you would think, wouldn't you. I'm just thinking possibly, So

313
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:27.920
you've got a locust, one locust, all the hassle. I mean,

314
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:33.960
how did that even go? How many people were involved

315
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:40.240
in the trial? Another question comes to mind, how much

316
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.960
time did these people have on their hands to be

317
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:52.200
taken a rat the trial or an el an eel?

318
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:59.960
I wonder what that got in trouble for trial record

319
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:06.599
towards show that all this stuff was going on, and

320
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:10.240
it persisted into the mid eighteenth century where they were

321
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:16.559
actually sentenced to perish, all the way to mid eighteenth

322
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:24.720
century and in some cases early twentieth century. If I

323
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:29.119
was living somewhere and suddenly a chicken was on trial,

324
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:36.519
I couldn't move. I would move as soon as possible.

325
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.519
Oh this is something, Yeah, this is something I actually

326
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:52.319
believe because this is such a kind of human stupidity that, oh,

327
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.039
I just can just imagine that this is true. So

328
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:05.359
back in fourteen seventy four, fourteen seventy four. In Basil,

329
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:13.960
a rooster was prosecuted for laying an extra large egg.

330
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:26.480
An extra large egg because this rooster in fourteen seventy

331
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:35.960
four was deemed unnatural and demonic. Wow, and you know

332
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.960
there's probably still people today. Do I still believe that

333
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.440
they're the ones that need to be up for court.

334
00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:56.920
They need to be they need to be in court

335
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:02.720
being judged and being sentenced. People are leave stuff like that. Wow,

336
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:11.519
not the rooster, absolutely ridiculous. And now the internet's just

337
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:20.759
gone off, brilliant, great, what has it going off? There

338
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:27.240
was no need for that. Okay, I got it back.

339
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.559
I don't know. I just pressed the wrong button. I

340
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:37.960
pressed the wrong button. It's not the first time I'm

341
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:47.319
able to find the button. Now. Ecclesiastic excommunications, vermin courts

342
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:58.000
in brackets. Okay, here we go. Courts enrolled insects, rats, locusts,

343
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:23.079
and weavils as defendants in ecclesiastic trials. I mean, it's

344
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.480
all ridiculous, but insects, But then it's no more ridiculous

345
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.400
than the rats or locusts or weavils. I don't know

346
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:41.880
what weavil is h But there's one thing prosecuting an

347
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.119
animal because you know, technically they can just sit there

348
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:51.359
and be accused and just keep quiet. They don't necessarily

349
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:54.640
have to do anything, and it's maybe up to the

350
00:31:54.759 --> 00:32:09.880
lawyer to do a defense, but a defendant has to

351
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:17.920
kind of talk, don't the So how how how how?

352
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:30.920
How ah how? This this is weird. In fifteen eighty seven,

353
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.480
weavils again, I don't know what weavil is? Is it

354
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:41.319
like a weasel? I don't know? V shaped weasel in

355
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:48.160
Saint Julian, France were presented by a lawyer argued to

356
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:55.960
have divine protection. Okay, I'm not quite sure what divine

357
00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:05.599
protection is, but I'm guessing it's it's quite a good

358
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:09.720
thing to have. Maybe I mean divine protection. It sounds

359
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:13.759
like something that you'd quite want to have. Isn't it

360
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:18.720
more powerful than a seatbelt? Possibly? Oh? That's that in

361
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:31.720
my eye? And I haven't Oh right, what's next? It's

362
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:34.680
hard to have any commentary on this because the sentences

363
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:45.039
are just ridiculous in themselves. The judge ruled in absentia

364
00:33:48.119 --> 00:34:00.079
final verdict lost to time, destroyed by rats or bucks. Okay,

365
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:06.440
excommunication and athema was used to banish pets rather than

366
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:13.400
kill them. That's good. That's nice. So animals were excommunicated.

367
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:20.800
I mean that's just assuming that the rats and the

368
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:24.960
bugs and the ants and all that stuff that were

369
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:28.159
in the church were there to pray for the sermon,

370
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:37.719
as opposed to maybe that's where they lived. When you've

371
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:40.199
got to be pretty pretty, pretty proud of yourself, and

372
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:45.719
you'll be pretty pretty popular if not just the humans

373
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:48.559
turn up at your sermon, but all the animals flock

374
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:56.599
in as well. It's the new Noah. Maybe courts ordered

375
00:34:56.639 --> 00:35:05.039
locusts to depart a region. Kah, I'll do okay. Courts

376
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:10.000
ordered locusts to depart a region by a certain date

377
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:16.840
and time or face excommunication. How what did they put

378
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:20.119
up signs? They send a letter in the post, send

379
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:23.800
an email? I mean what what?

380
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:23.880
What?

381
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.920
There was a Facebook group locusts Facebook group, and they

382
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.360
just posted on there. You'll be out of here by

383
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:43.039
this time, otherwise you're going to be excommunicated. M I

384
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:49.039
didn't think that. I didn't think that religions back in

385
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:56.079
them days believed that insects got to go to heaven anyway,

386
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:06.000
Maybe I'm wrong. In fifteen forty five, public prayers were

387
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:14.239
held to coerce weavils away miraculously the infestation ended. It

388
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.000
just shows you that it works, doesn't it. So stop

389
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:20.639
mocking it. Stop mocking all these and I'm trying to

390
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:28.599
I'm trying to educate you. Let me educate you. I'm

391
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:34.360
trying to teach you something. Stop mocking some of the

392
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:45.880
greatest factual facts of our history. Legal principles and implications.

393
00:36:48.360 --> 00:37:01.159
Animal trials treated creatures as moral agents, capable of intent. Yeah,

394
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:03.639
I'll find it animal. I mean animals can be crafty.

395
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:10.360
Vinnie is very crafty. He knows what he wants and

396
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:14.960
he will pretend to do stuff to get there. So

397
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:18.840
he'll pretend to be eating something off the floor because

398
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:21.840
he's waiting to see what the dog was coming closer,

399
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:29.159
to see what kind of dog is. He's very very crafty.

400
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:33.119
I actually saw him once and he was like pretending

401
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:36.599
because he didn't want to leave the park. So what

402
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:38.960
he was doing, I was chucking the ball. This is

403
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:40.440
when I was able to let him off the lead,

404
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:46.280
because I was chucking the ball nearer to the exit

405
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:48.480
of the park so that he'd run and get it

406
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:50.039
and then eventually to put him on the lead and

407
00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:57.280
will go out. He was grabbing it and instead of

408
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.960
bringing it back to me. He ran right past me

409
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:05.360
and he dropped it further in the park because he

410
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.679
knew I was trying to get him away from the park.

411
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:17.159
I've literally seen him, all right. I've chucked food on

412
00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:21.719
the floor for him to try and find. And what

413
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:25.760
he does is once once he found it, he chews

414
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.360
it and he looks up at me for the next one.

415
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:33.159
On this particular occasion, I could see where it went,

416
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.639
but he didn't see where it went, and he couldn't

417
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:42.639
find it. He ran in a completely different direction. He

418
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:46.880
pretended to eat a tree and then looked at me

419
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.360
ready for the next one. He hadn't eaten anything, He

420
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:55.559
just pretended, and I could see the tree, I could

421
00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:57.920
see the tree on the floor, and I could also

422
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.760
see all the grass was short. I don't know how

423
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:03.440
he missed it. To be forever, there was nothing there.

424
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:07.159
He was just pretending to eat it because he couldn't

425
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:17.880
be bothered to search for the other one. Devious judges

426
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:28.920
and clergy genuinely applied human justice to animals, not all

427
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:41.800
satire or folklore. Wow. Legal records from France are some

428
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:49.559
of the best preserved. That's nice. Great cases raised foundational questions.

429
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:55.000
If animals can be guilty, must they also have rights?

430
00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:06.440
Bar bar bar bar bar. That's a good point. Yeah,

431
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:12.239
if someone must have by the law, then surely they

432
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:20.079
must be part of society, so you'd think they have

433
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:30.800
equal rights to society like everyone else in it. Trials

434
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:40.599
blurred lines between superstition, the ology, and secular law. It's

435
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:52.599
it's the thing is theology, religion, belief systems. A lot

436
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:58.480
of it comes from superstition anyway, So you know, believing

437
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:01.039
in something that you can't prove and believing in it

438
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:04.599
that's almost kind of isn't that the meaning of superstition?

439
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:17.400
So I don't know, I believe, Yeah, I like to

440
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:23.880
call it stupid stition, So I'm not superstitious. I actually

441
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.119
sat on the bus with someone with someone I was

442
00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:30.440
on the bus with, like traveling together. I'm not I

443
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:32.639
mean there was other people on the bus as well.

444
00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:43.360
She saw, what's those birds that steal stuff? Not goldie locks,

445
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:58.800
not hens, sparrows, blackbirds, blue tits, red tits, yellow tits,

446
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:09.039
big and what's where is it going? What are they called?

447
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:17.880
The ones are not wrens, not falcons, sparrows, those birds

448
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:21.880
that you suppose anyway, she saw these two birds together,

449
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:25.239
and she got up and she saluted out of the window.

450
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.400
Who was on a bus and she stood up face

451
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:31.239
towards the window to where these two birds were and

452
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:45.719
she saluted. It's among the most embarrassing moments of my life.

453
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:52.920
I just thought, you know what that is. It became

454
00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:59.400
it became a passion of mine to not have any

455
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:05.639
superstition after that, because it was ridiculous, the idea of

456
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:11.280
because I used to be a bit superstitious, and mainly

457
00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:15.760
because my life was so rubbish at a time when

458
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:17.320
I was like a kid, when I was you know,

459
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:22.719
when I was like a late teenager at sixteen or whatever,

460
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:24.599
and then people would say, well, don't walk on the

461
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:27.320
cracks on the floor on the ground, the cracks in

462
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:30.679
the pavement or the concrete, because that's bad luck or whatever.

463
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:32.800
And I thought, well, I don't want any worse luck

464
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:35.039
than what was happening already, so I would try to

465
00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:38.679
avoid it things like that, and I started to kind

466
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:46.400
of buy into someone that crap. And then as I

467
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:52.840
got older, I become more educated and realized that it's

468
00:43:52.920 --> 00:44:00.960
just absolute nonsense, obviously, but also realizing that belief that

469
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:06.440
stuff can have an effect on people because belief is

470
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.280
super powerful, one of the most powerful things that we have.

471
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:19.360
That's why having a lucky object, a lucky token, or

472
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:28.400
lucky souvenir or whatever in itself does nothing, but to

473
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:32.480
a person's mind can do everything. So if a person

474
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:38.800
really believes that by having that lucky I don't know,

475
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:43.920
a lucky condom in their pocket, lucky use condom in

476
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.119
their pocket, they might actually or hanging off their ear.

477
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:54.559
They might it might help them with their university exam,

478
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:58.320
or it might give them more confidence on a first date,

479
00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:11.800
wearing your wearing your lucky set of underpants, the ones

480
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:17.559
that you've been wearing for thirty five years. Why don't

481
00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:21.960
you wash them? Dad? Wash out the luck? The luck's

482
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:28.079
in the dirt with this unlucky How come you never

483
00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:31.719
ever get a second date? I don't want to talk

484
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:39.559
about it. So it's weird, though, isn't it. You know,

485
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:43.800
when you've got like a really really you got a

486
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:48.880
lucky thing. I mean by this, what did I have?

487
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.320
This lucky little mouse is a wooden mouse, and I

488
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:55.920
had it had little tail, it was wooden, and that

489
00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:00.079
was my lucky charm. And I'd go on dates and

490
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:02.360
I was telling people like my friends, that's my lucky

491
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:05.760
chant and I'll take it on all my dates. And

492
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:07.480
they said, well, come, no one wants to see you

493
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:13.280
again afterwards, and I said, I don't know. Well I left.

494
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:15.559
I started leaving at home. It turned out it was

495
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:20.000
my personality nothing. You know. It was because I started

496
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:21.480
to think it maybe it was bad luck for me,

497
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:23.920
but it wasn't. It was just my personality that was

498
00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:30.599
stopping people from want to see me again. I remember

499
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:39.199
waiting to I went to the cinema with someone. I

500
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:44.920
was sixteen at the time. I think maybe seventeen, sixteen ish,

501
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:49.639
maybe fifteen even sixteen, I think sixteen. I don't remember

502
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:54.519
the girl I went to the cinema with. I asked

503
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:56.960
to go to the cinema and she said yes. For

504
00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:02.039
some reason, all I know is yes. I thought she

505
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:07.320
liked me. We sat down to watch the movie. All

506
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:09.239
I did was put my I put my hand on

507
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.199
a knee. Literally, it was like just gently. I didn't

508
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:17.039
like plunk it down. And I wasn't wearing a big

509
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:20.559
heavy metal glove or anything like that. A Gordon. It

510
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:24.599
wasn't anything weird. That just just put my hand on

511
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:32.159
a knee and I guess trying to be romantic even

512
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:35.639
though there's no enjoyment for me putting my hand on

513
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:37.440
a knee that I didn't get anything out of that.

514
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:40.679
They never have never It's like bone, isn't it? Or

515
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:42.320
did you get how did you get on last night?

516
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.320
Or I felt one of her bones? It was lovely?

517
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:55.280
Oh oh that's notice like oh maybe tomorrow shall blow

518
00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:56.400
blow on me.

519
00:47:56.920 --> 00:48:01.280
I can get to smell her breath just eating some garlic.

520
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.000
Oh that would be good. War No, it's like it

521
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:10.199
was a bone and knees not. I suppose some people

522
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:13.760
like knees. But it's just a bit of gristle, isn't it.

523
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:20.639
Ultimately it's not it's nothing. I've never looked at a

524
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:27.760
knee and for oh yeah, oh it never never had

525
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:32.920
never happened. Oh oh, I can't concentrate on anything. It's

526
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:37.800
just there's a knee, cover your knee up. I can't concentrate. Yeah.

527
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:41.480
Well that was the end of my paramedic career. They

528
00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:44.880
you know, it's good to find out in training, isn't it.

529
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:51.719
I had had a thing for knees. No, no, I don't.

530
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:55.880
I just like I didn't know how to act by it.

531
00:48:56.039 --> 00:48:58.840
Back then, I didn't know what to do. I didn't

532
00:48:58.880 --> 00:49:02.559
know what the correct way to be on a first

533
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:06.440
date was. I was a teenager and there was no

534
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:13.000
There was no training for that stuff, no training whatsoever.

535
00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:17.400
And this guesswork. I guess it still is. I mean

536
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:18.800
I haven't had a date for.

537
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:28.000
Long time, long, long, long time, so long that I

538
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:32.000
cannot remember the last time I went on a date.

539
00:49:33.239 --> 00:49:36.639
Yes I can the last time I went on a

540
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:46.519
date where it actually went somewhere? Is it does a date?

541
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:48.400
It doesn't have to mean going somewhere, does it?

542
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:49.119
So?

543
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:52.079
I had a friend come around here once and that

544
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:56.599
wasn't really a date. Was it someone that I kind

545
00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:59.159
of knew a bit. I did have a date with

546
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.440
someone that spent all week talking to her on the phone.

547
00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:07.320
And she's someone that I'd known for a while, and

548
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.840
she was talking about having babies and we were talking

549
00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:13.679
about building a life together, which is kind of weird.

550
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:17.239
I don't know if it felt like things are going

551
00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:20.199
quite well. And then I go around to see her

552
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:24.000
on Sunday and it was almost like it was a

553
00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:28.400
different person. It was like there was nothing there, There

554
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:33.199
was no like she wasn't human. It's weird. Not in

555
00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:36.639
a bad way. There's no good way to say that is,

556
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:41.800
but it seemed like she was like there was nothing

557
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:53.320
there inside. She looked the same, but a little bit like, oh,

558
00:50:54.239 --> 00:50:57.159
body snatches, remember the body Snatches movies. It was a

559
00:50:57.159 --> 00:50:59.760
little bit like that. That's what she looked like. Like

560
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:06.880
she just what strange because I spent the afternoon with

561
00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:13.880
our and she gave me soup. Soup that was my dinner.

562
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:17.800
Soup a growing lad of forty. You don't give a

563
00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:20.880
grown lad of forty one or forty two wherever I

564
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:25.119
was soup. Don't give someone who's fifty nine soup. That's

565
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:31.920
not a dinner. It's a drink. It I mean, it's

566
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:35.320
a starter for a reason, isn't it. Although I prefer

567
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:38.960
I wouldn't have soup as a starter. If I was

568
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:44.960
going to have a starter, it'd be I don't know

569
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:48.360
what choices arees make me hungry? Now I really do

570
00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:56.960
need to have a meal one day, Oh I what

571
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:03.239
would be a good starter. I took Uncle's sausages my

572
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:09.159
tomato catch up yesterday, and now I've got no tomato

573
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:21.679
catch up. Damn him, damn it. Yes, And it was

574
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:23.719
at one point, and I'm just sitting there with her

575
00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:28.400
inner flat, this this lady that I was. I thought

576
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:35.039
there was something going on between us, and it was

577
00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:39.159
flat that like the energy was like no energy there.

578
00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:47.199
There was a bit of energy, but not from her side,

579
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:49.760
and I didn't know what to do. It was just

580
00:52:49.960 --> 00:52:58.159
really weird. There was yeah, in the end of just left. Well,

581
00:52:58.159 --> 00:52:59.960
I had to leave eventually, didn't I ever was a

582
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:09.719
couldn't make this podcast fifteen years later. It's very strange.

583
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:13.239
But anyway, I touched, you know, I was when I

584
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:17.719
was I was a kid myself. I touched this the

585
00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:20.880
knee of the person I was in the cinema with.

586
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:28.239
She picked my hand up and dropped it back on

587
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:36.559
my lap, hurt my hand. That's when I realized, first

588
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:42.960
of all, well either one or two really well, first

589
00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:46.280
of all, we were never going to get married, me

590
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:53.920
and that lady. Secondly, the girl who went to the

591
00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:57.480
cinema with was sitting on the other side of me,

592
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:01.840
and I touched a me. No, I just it just

593
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:06.079
didn't work. It's just just like wow, to the point

594
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:10.239
that I've kind of almost erased who she was. I

595
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:13.239
don't know who she was. I can't remember such a

596
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:22.199
long time ago. What was I talking about? I have

597
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:27.079
really bad dates. I don't know why. It wasn't a

598
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:31.159
bad date, it was just like a non date. Another

599
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:34.079
one I've gone. This is a thing I had this

600
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.960
when I worked in a co op. I had a

601
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.840
female walk into the shop and I was behind the counter,

602
00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:46.599
so I was in there every day, well, five six

603
00:54:46.679 --> 00:54:51.119
days a week or whatever. She walked in, handed me

604
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:59.320
a note, looked me in the eyes, and then walked out.

605
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:04.760
She knew my name, so I guess I had a

606
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:08.480
name badge on and stuff. So I read it, and

607
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:11.840
she said how lovely I was, and she really fancied me.

608
00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:14.719
Bearing in mind she would seeing me during the day,

609
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:17.119
so it's not like she was seeing me at night

610
00:55:17.159 --> 00:55:20.719
when the lighting was good and it made me look human.

611
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:28.400
She saw me during the daytime and it was all romantic.

612
00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:31.320
I really like you, and I see you every day

613
00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:34.199
and I'd love to sort of get together. And she

614
00:55:34.320 --> 00:55:38.280
wrote down a telephone number, anna address, and her name,

615
00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:47.119
so I called her up. So I thought, anyone that

616
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:51.119
does that deserves I thought I'd see her because I

617
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:58.000
deserved to be rejected in person. No, anyone that goes

618
00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:02.039
to that effort deserves not to be ignored, because that's

619
00:56:02.199 --> 00:56:04.760
that's a that's a be old thing to do, isn't it,

620
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:08.000
to like go to that effort and to walk up

621
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:13.039
to someone like that? So I phouned her up in

622
00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:20.800
the morning the next day, I think it was Saturday morning.

623
00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:25.519
So I did it wrong. Well, I didn't do it wrong.

624
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:31.719
I did didn't try and use my needs to dull

625
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:34.679
the phone. I did. I phoned everything that normal. And

626
00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:38.199
that's when we used to have those turney phones, you know,

627
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:48.159
a spiral things. I used to like them. And she

628
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:51.320
invited me around, so I went round. She was in

629
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:55.280
the middle of getting ready for probably work actually, so

630
00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:57.159
she was getting ready to go to I think she

631
00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:05.239
probably had a retail job herself in town, and she

632
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:12.039
was doing her hair and I just it was like

633
00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:15.639
there was nothing to talk about. It was the wrong

634
00:57:16.199 --> 00:57:19.519
scenario for us to get to know each other while

635
00:57:19.559 --> 00:57:26.199
she was drying her hair and I was just sitting

636
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:35.440
there on the edge of her bed. Honestly, it was

637
00:57:35.800 --> 00:57:41.119
so awkward there. In the end, I just said see her,

638
00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:43.639
and she said bye, and I never saw her again.

639
00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:47.199
She never came back in the supermarket. I never saw

640
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:53.079
her again there was. It could have been a lovely marriage.

641
00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:54.880
We could have had kids and everything. You know, it

642
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:57.920
could have been, could have, could have, would have you know,

643
00:57:59.519 --> 00:58:07.840
But there was some reason I just you know, I mean,

644
00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:10.320
basically the ball was in my court, wasn't it almost

645
00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:16.199
like this was? It was really I was in a

646
00:58:16.199 --> 00:58:20.519
good position. She told me she liked me, she'd write

647
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:24.519
a letter to me. So all I had to do

648
00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:31.239
really is just be there, just turn up. But not

649
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:35.119
when she's getting ready, not you know, that's just a

650
00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:38.440
weird time to be going around someone's house, especially when

651
00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:42.559
I had to get to work, and also going around

652
00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:45.000
her house. But it wasn't a good idea, you know.

653
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:48.920
I mean, she invited me, but it would have been

654
00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:52.400
unless I just turned up. No, I did know she

655
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:57.440
invited me. You know, it would have gone out and

656
00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:02.519
got to know each other. It might have been well,

657
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:08.079
it couldn't have been worse than what it was. And

658
00:59:08.119 --> 00:59:14.119
then there was another woman, another lady. I asked her out.

659
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:18.480
She worked in an a state agent, No, in her

660
00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:22.519
travel agency. I asked her out in front of all

661
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:30.239
her friends, her colleagues. I don't know where I've got

662
00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:32.320
the confidence to do that, but I did. I did it.

663
00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:35.679
I'd met before a couple of nights before because she

664
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:38.119
broke down in a car and me and my friend

665
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:41.000
came to a rescue. So my friend was driving, I

666
00:59:41.079 --> 00:59:44.199
was a passenger and we got talking to her and

667
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:46.239
she said where she worked, and I just popped in

668
00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:48.679
and say hello, and I asked her out on a

669
00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:54.480
date and she said yes. So instead of saying brilliant, okay,

670
00:59:55.599 --> 01:00:05.519
what's your number and then leaving, which is what I

671
01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:08.880
should have done, I should have just left. No, that's

672
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:11.320
not what I did. I settled in for the afternoon

673
01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:19.519
and I didn't stop talking for probably two hours, talking

674
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:24.760
to the other members of staff, being silly, being very

675
01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:28.599
childish because I was very childish. Hard to believe I

676
01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:36.960
was ever childish. Yeah, I think maybe it isn't. After

677
01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:40.320
about three hours she said to me, I'll change my

678
01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:44.760
mind because I was just going to go to the cinema.

679
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:49.800
I thought it was it changed her mind. I said,

680
01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:52.400
did you hear about the knee incident? She said what?

681
01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:57.400
I said, nothing? Nothing, nothing, and she said no, and

682
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:05.079
that was it done. Not good. So basically I did

683
01:01:05.199 --> 01:01:09.840
what is known in the sales world as over selling.

684
01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:18.079
So in sales. I've read so many sales books so

685
01:01:18.119 --> 01:01:21.199
many years. Not anymore, but you know, back in the

686
01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:26.639
nineties and two thousands, and there's a thing that when

687
01:01:26.679 --> 01:01:33.039
you get to sell, that's your job done. Get the

688
01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:40.679
sale process to sell, stop trying to sell. You don't

689
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:43.000
need to sell anything. You don't need to sell. I mean,

690
01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:45.679
you can still be positive about it and like, you know,

691
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:53.519
but you don't need to sell once you're sold. And

692
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:56.039
if you keep going on and on and on and on,

693
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:59.599
potentially the person will just get fed up and change

694
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:09.360
their mind. And this is what happened in this situation. Admittedly,

695
01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:14.199
the dancing didn't help, and the bagpipes I don't think

696
01:02:14.199 --> 01:02:16.760
they helped. I mean, you could say why did I

697
01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:21.360
have bagpipes on me? But I'm saying, you know, I

698
01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:26.159
always have this silent idea that this mentality of being prepared.

699
01:02:28.559 --> 01:02:32.599
You never know when you're going to need bagpipes or

700
01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:39.039
skis or a water pistol. You don't know what's going

701
01:02:39.119 --> 01:02:45.519
to be useful in any given situation. As it turned out,

702
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:48.920
none of those things were useful in this particular situation,

703
01:02:50.239 --> 01:02:54.440
and haven't been particularly useful in any situation involving asking

704
01:02:54.480 --> 01:03:00.920
someone out for a date, although I haven't asked anyone

705
01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:10.920
out for a dates since yeah, fifteen years really pretty much,

706
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:14.800
not really, yeah, because I've met a couple of people

707
01:03:14.840 --> 01:03:18.679
who just kind of progressed from there, but I've never

708
01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:22.440
gone up to someone. There was someone I did ask

709
01:03:22.519 --> 01:03:27.760
out and she said, no, this is ironic. So there

710
01:03:27.840 --> 01:03:31.880
was someone I really I really felt I liked in

711
01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:35.679
the Buddhist Center and we got them really well, and

712
01:03:35.719 --> 01:03:38.519
I felt a real connection with her, so I asked

713
01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:42.119
her out. Basically she said, oh, I've got a boyfriend.

714
01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:45.679
I said, oh, you'll bring him and all if you like.

715
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:49.880
She laughed. I think if people think I'm joking sometimes.

716
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:54.960
And that was it. Then I met someone else that

717
01:03:55.039 --> 01:03:57.000
I liked in the Buddhist Center. Then I didn't see

718
01:03:57.039 --> 01:04:01.079
her for ages, and then she turned up again, and

719
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:03.239
that's the one that I went and had soup with,

720
01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:07.519
So I saw her that night. But then the other

721
01:04:07.559 --> 01:04:10.719
one turned up the same night. Hadn't seen either of

722
01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:17.559
them for months and months and months, so I'd already

723
01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:23.000
got like reconnected with the other one, the one that

724
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:29.079
ended up giving me soup, and the one that was

725
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:33.800
she had a body snatched invasion of the body snatches

726
01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:36.960
that one. So this other one, the one that I

727
01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:40.760
had really liked before. She actually said, Oh, we should

728
01:04:40.760 --> 01:04:42.960
go out sometime. I'll give him a number before we go.

729
01:04:44.199 --> 01:04:47.159
Before we finished the evening, I said, okay, cool. I

730
01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:50.639
just ignored it because I thought, well, not, I've got

731
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:54.400
a date. Now, you had your chance, I thought to

732
01:04:54.440 --> 01:05:07.880
myself arrogantly. And I never saw either of them again. Wow,

733
01:05:08.599 --> 01:05:13.280
I actually did see I did see the soup lady,

734
01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:17.360
and I called a soup lady she gave me. Yeah,

735
01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:22.480
she was in the town walking. She had like a

736
01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:28.880
suitcase with wheels or something. It's very awkward. It's like

737
01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:36.000
we almost banged into each other, all right. She started

738
01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:38.360
telling me where she was going, Like why why are

739
01:05:38.360 --> 01:05:41.920
you telling me that. I didn't say that, but I

740
01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:49.960
kind of thought it was like, okay, oh, why see her?

741
01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:53.280
And it was just like I haven't seen her since

742
01:05:53.400 --> 01:05:59.199
it's been fifteen over fifteen years. Why am I still

743
01:05:59.239 --> 01:06:03.679
thinking about people like that? I don't know, as you

744
01:06:03.840 --> 01:06:06.760
do know, because the chance I might see her again, saying,

745
01:06:08.119 --> 01:06:10.559
depending on if she still works where she used to work.

746
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:14.559
But it's only because I'm perhaps going to have to

747
01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:19.079
go there this or I don't think she'd even remember

748
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:24.639
me anyway. To be honest with you, I might not

749
01:06:24.719 --> 01:06:31.960
remember her. Then there was this other girl when I

750
01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:33.880
was in the co op. I mentioned this before, but

751
01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:38.639
another situation. I don't know. I don't know if it's

752
01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:43.679
because I've got such a different Maybe I have a

753
01:06:43.679 --> 01:06:46.880
different personality when I'm on a date to what I

754
01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:51.519
have when I'm just myself. I work all day with

755
01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:55.559
this girl. She lived in a different town. I was seventeen.

756
01:06:55.840 --> 01:07:00.360
She was probably the same age, maybe sixteen. She was

757
01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:03.440
full time working in the co oper. She worked in

758
01:07:03.480 --> 01:07:07.039
a different town. She came just because we were short staffed,

759
01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:13.000
so I think the Yeah, I think the member of staff.

760
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:14.920
The reason she came in because the member of staff

761
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:21.119
that was there got sacked for stealing. She got called

762
01:07:21.159 --> 01:07:25.159
by the undercover police. She was the manager, so she

763
01:07:25.199 --> 01:07:28.800
got sacked. So they needed someone else to come in

764
01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:32.480
and just look after the tills and stuff. And there

765
01:07:32.559 --> 01:07:40.559
was two tools, was a free tills. I can't remember. Anyway,

766
01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:45.599
me and her gone really well, really well, and she

767
01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:52.400
was perfect for me in so many ways, Like she

768
01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:58.159
was funny, she laughed at my silly jokes, fancied her

769
01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:01.719
and I'm sure she was beside with me. Why wouldn't

770
01:08:01.719 --> 01:08:06.440
she be, And she was sitting quite close to me,

771
01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:09.320
so my smell didn't put her off. So that's you know,

772
01:08:09.360 --> 01:08:15.280
it's a lot of bonuses there. And I didn't, I

773
01:08:15.280 --> 01:08:18.600
didn't hold in any parts. Still let them go. So

774
01:08:23.399 --> 01:08:27.000
and we arranged to see each other. Gave me an address,

775
01:08:27.119 --> 01:08:32.199
a telephone number, and planned for me to go around

776
01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:35.239
hers the next day. So this is on a Saturday,

777
01:08:37.560 --> 01:08:43.199
and I went around hers on a Sunday. In fact,

778
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:46.800
we might have been spent two days together Friday and Saturday.

779
01:08:47.079 --> 01:08:50.720
Like it at work, we can't sell what we were

780
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:54.319
laughing all day long, honestly had a really good time.

781
01:08:55.319 --> 01:08:58.439
So I go around her. Else The idea is to

782
01:08:58.439 --> 01:09:01.479
go out somewhere. I mean, I was limited, bearing in

783
01:09:01.560 --> 01:09:04.159
mind that couldn't well, I didn't have much money. But

784
01:09:04.199 --> 01:09:08.760
it wasn't just that I didn't I couldn't go into

785
01:09:08.800 --> 01:09:15.399
pubs and get served because I looked about fifteen, maybe fourteen,

786
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:20.520
even I looked much younger than I was, and so

787
01:09:20.600 --> 01:09:23.119
probably would have been just like walking around the streets.

788
01:09:23.159 --> 01:09:27.119
That probably would have been the date. Maybe a restaurant,

789
01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:33.720
you know, an Indian restaurant or Chinese restaurant or something potentially.

790
01:09:34.079 --> 01:09:38.640
But it was a Sunday afternoon now back in nineteen

791
01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:42.640
eighty seven, was it. No, it's early nineteen eighty eight,

792
01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:49.960
about April or May, May, June time May. On a

793
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:57.680
Sunday afternoon, nothing was open like you'd struggle to get anything.

794
01:09:58.119 --> 01:10:02.520
The pubs had a Sunday times, so they'd be open

795
01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:06.600
for a couple of hours at lunchtime and then'd open

796
01:10:06.680 --> 01:10:10.399
again in the evening for a few hours. There was

797
01:10:10.479 --> 01:10:15.479
no all day drinking like there is now ever, not

798
01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:22.920
even during the week. You could only buy things like

799
01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:29.079
alcohol and cigarettes and stuff during certain times of the day.

800
01:10:29.199 --> 01:10:31.520
I know it's weird, but that's how it used to

801
01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:36.039
be on a Sunday. The only shops that really opened,

802
01:10:36.479 --> 01:10:40.319
No supermarkets did. The only shops that opened back then

803
01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:43.199
where I lived Anyway, I'm sure it's different in London,

804
01:10:43.239 --> 01:10:50.840
but where I lived at the time, it was the

805
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:54.800
news agents would open in the morning to sell the

806
01:10:54.840 --> 01:11:02.479
newspapers Sunday newspapers, and maybe there might be a couple

807
01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:07.359
of like you might get some tourists. Stuff is open

808
01:11:07.720 --> 01:11:11.520
on the seafront, so cafes and stuff. They'd be allowed

809
01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:14.359
to be open on the Sunday because it's touristy, isn't it.

810
01:11:14.840 --> 01:11:18.720
And the casque not casinos, but like the arcades and

811
01:11:18.760 --> 01:11:22.800
the pier and those kinds of things. They'd be open

812
01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:26.720
on a Sunday during the day, but that would be it.

813
01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:32.159
The ice cream hut would be open during the summer

814
01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:38.560
on a Sunday, but then nothing else, nothing would be open.

815
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:41.920
So I went to this town, the next town up

816
01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:47.920
from where I lived, got a taxi there, and or

817
01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:49.880
maybe I've got a training I've got a taxi to

818
01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:56.119
a house from the train, possibly, but there was nothing

819
01:11:56.159 --> 01:11:59.319
to do. But we didn't even get that far because

820
01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:02.039
I was thinking, maybe go to the cinema in the evening,

821
01:12:03.239 --> 01:12:05.479
because the cinemas were open in the evening. I'm pretty

822
01:12:05.479 --> 01:12:10.920
sure on a Sunday I think they were, but I

823
01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:14.039
might be wrong. I don't know. Anyway, I went to

824
01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:20.520
her house, knocked on the door, went in, and I

825
01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:25.079
genuinely had no expectations of anything nice happening. I just

826
01:12:25.119 --> 01:12:27.159
wanted to spend some time with her because I liked her,

827
01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:30.560
and we had such a good time at work, laughing

828
01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:34.720
all day, you know, That's what it was. Just to

829
01:12:34.760 --> 01:12:42.560
have some fun and because I enjoyed her company. So

830
01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:46.960
I get there and she's not alone. She's got a

831
01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:50.960
friend with her, which is maybe she wanted to have

832
01:12:51.039 --> 01:12:54.840
someone there with her, you know, maybe for whatever reasons,

833
01:12:54.840 --> 01:13:03.439
which is fair enough. But this friend was awful because

834
01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:07.560
all she did was flirt with me. Now and I

835
01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:12.239
said the word awful. In any other situation, I would

836
01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:15.560
not have bothered by that. The fact that she was

837
01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:22.880
flirting with me and she was pop clocking as they

838
01:13:22.920 --> 01:13:28.239
say me. She really got in the way and she

839
01:13:28.319 --> 01:13:31.239
started sitting on my lap. And because I didn't know

840
01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:33.119
what to do in that situation, I didn't want to

841
01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:36.239
sort of be horrible to her. I didn't want to

842
01:13:36.279 --> 01:13:40.680
be verbally rude. I didn't want to physically push her off.

843
01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:44.840
So I did kind of push her off. But it

844
01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:50.239
was it was kind of a weird one, isn't it.

845
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:52.720
Just Well, at the time, I just didn't know what

846
01:13:52.800 --> 01:13:57.439
to do. But the girl that I was visiting, it

847
01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:02.159
was her house. She was very very annoyed with me,

848
01:14:03.119 --> 01:14:11.159
not with her friend, but with me, And in the

849
01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:14.079
end I just left, got a taxi home and that

850
01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:21.279
was the last time I saw her. I'd handle that

851
01:14:21.319 --> 01:14:24.439
situation much differently now. I wouldn't go around her house now,

852
01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:27.119
and she hasn't seen me for forty years, so she

853
01:14:27.159 --> 01:14:30.079
probably wouldn't remember me, probably doesn't even live there anymore.

854
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:34.920
But no, I wouldn't unless I knew someone. I wouldn't

855
01:14:34.960 --> 01:14:36.840
probably go around the house unless I knew.

856
01:14:36.680 --> 01:14:45.960
Them well or Yeah, but I think technically go around

857
01:14:45.960 --> 01:14:48.720
someone's house on the first date, maybe it's not a

858
01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:49.279
good idea.

859
01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:52.960
Maybe I mean I'm talking to like I'm going to

860
01:14:53.000 --> 01:14:56.600
have another first date. I don't know. Maybe it's possible.

861
01:14:56.840 --> 01:15:04.159
Maybe I don't know. But her friend really got in

862
01:15:04.199 --> 01:15:09.079
the way, and I didn't understand why. It's not like

863
01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:12.520
I left and her friend was running after me. J

864
01:15:12.960 --> 01:15:18.199
j JJ, don't leave me. You know. It wasn't like

865
01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:21.199
she was sew into me that she followed me all

866
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:26.640
the way home. The friend I'm talking about, she was

867
01:15:26.680 --> 01:15:29.760
just doing it to wind her friend up to the

868
01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:35.359
girl that I was visiting. And the girl I was

869
01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:42.439
visiting I really liked, arguably the one I liked the

870
01:15:42.479 --> 01:15:50.560
most during that period, because I liked her physically, but

871
01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:54.640
she was funny and we had a good time. It

872
01:15:54.720 --> 01:15:59.720
was like but being almost like being attracted to a friend,

873
01:16:01.359 --> 01:16:05.840
which hasn't really happened in my life, not really, not much,

874
01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:18.359
well occasionally, but that's enough about Dean and I, yeah,

875
01:16:18.479 --> 01:16:27.920
that was annoying because she's just because for me, I was,

876
01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:32.720
you know, it was very shy around females that I liked,

877
01:16:34.479 --> 01:16:36.880
and for some reason she made it very easy for

878
01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:46.880
me to just beat myself so I could just be silly.

879
01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:50.000
But I guess we were both different because she was

880
01:16:50.000 --> 01:16:52.960
at home, she was in a different environment. I was

881
01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:55.039
well out of my comfort zone because I was in

882
01:16:55.079 --> 01:17:06.439
someone else's house and from town. I remember saying to me,

883
01:17:07.600 --> 01:17:13.520
she said, what's all this got to do with animals

884
01:17:13.560 --> 01:17:17.359
being on trial? I said, what do you mean? She said, well,

885
01:17:18.079 --> 01:17:20.399
you're supposed to be talked about animals being on trial.

886
01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:24.279
You only got up to number twenty two on the

887
01:17:24.319 --> 01:17:27.239
list of one hundred, and you started talking about girlfriends

888
01:17:27.239 --> 01:17:30.920
and next girlfriends that didn't end up being girlfriends, which

889
01:17:31.079 --> 01:17:36.039
basically has got nothing to do with animals being on trial.

890
01:17:37.520 --> 01:17:41.560
How did you manage to move from one subject to

891
01:17:41.640 --> 01:17:48.439
another without even noticing you've done it? And I answered, well,

892
01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:54.239
the fact that I'm mentioning it means that I have

893
01:17:54.479 --> 01:17:58.439
noticed doesn't it? And she said, no, I mentioned that

894
01:17:58.479 --> 01:18:01.000
you didn't mention it. I said, yeah, but anything that

895
01:18:01.039 --> 01:18:04.399
you mentioned is me mentioning it, isn't it, Because it's me,

896
01:18:04.840 --> 01:18:11.840
I'm the one doing talking. She said, oh, suppose I said, no,

897
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:23.079
supose about it? It's true, and she got sulky.

898
01:18:19.159 --> 01:18:19.239
And.

899
01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:26.960
Now tell me, is this a weird thing? Right? You know?

900
01:18:27.119 --> 01:18:33.720
This soup lady? Of course, this is soup. When she

901
01:18:35.119 --> 01:18:38.159
we we were going to go to the cinema, well,

902
01:18:38.239 --> 01:18:41.079
that was kind of the plan. So I had some soup,

903
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:45.439
bit of bread. I don't know where she found the bread,

904
01:18:46.199 --> 01:18:50.439
and I think it was one of those I think

905
01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:53.960
the problem with her is she was healthy, she had

906
01:18:53.960 --> 01:18:58.319
a healthy lifestyle, and she had this probably gluten free,

907
01:18:59.239 --> 01:19:07.720
healthy bread and really healthy soup. And I probably didn't

908
01:19:07.800 --> 01:19:14.039
appreciate that at the time because there wasn't, to be fair,

909
01:19:14.199 --> 01:19:17.119
there wasn't much blood circulating in my brain at the time,

910
01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:21.840
so I wasn't really thinking straight. So we had the

911
01:19:21.960 --> 01:19:26.479
soup and then we went to the cinema. The cinema

912
01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:33.840
was closed. Yeah, there was something going on with the cinema.

913
01:19:33.880 --> 01:19:36.119
If it was closed for the day or the next

914
01:19:36.159 --> 01:19:39.000
movie wasn't for three hours. So we just like left

915
01:19:40.279 --> 01:19:43.760
and she said, oh, I got to get myself a plug.

916
01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:48.800
And I thought, all things are looking up, and I said,

917
01:19:49.119 --> 01:19:51.199
I ask a few questions. She said, no, not that

918
01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:56.119
kind of plug. It's like electric plug for the lamp.

919
01:19:56.720 --> 01:19:59.199
I said, oh, okay. She said, I can't believe you

920
01:19:59.239 --> 01:20:01.600
just asked me that. I said, well, I didn't know,

921
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:06.399
and she I think things might have gone downhill from there.

922
01:20:06.520 --> 01:20:09.760
I'm not sure I might not be the right questions

923
01:20:09.800 --> 01:20:14.840
to ask her. And Sid when he was on a

924
01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:20.079
bus as well. So we go down this hill. We

925
01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:25.640
walked to the electric shop and we decide we're going

926
01:20:25.680 --> 01:20:29.800
to go and get a film from Blockbusters as well.

927
01:20:29.840 --> 01:20:34.039
That's when Blockbusters were still alive, and we got the

928
01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:38.600
Karate Kids still haven't watched it. This is the new version,

929
01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:43.319
well not the newest version, but it was the one

930
01:20:43.399 --> 01:20:50.880
with Will Slappy Smith, his son Jayden I think, and

931
01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:56.560
Jackie Chan. So we watched some of it anyway. We

932
01:20:56.640 --> 01:21:01.720
got the video then, well the DVD rather. Then we

933
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:08.399
went into this electrical shop next door, which was I

934
01:21:08.399 --> 01:21:12.600
can't remember the name of it, but Maplins, I think Maplins.

935
01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:15.640
So she went in there to look for a plug,

936
01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:17.119
and I thought I was boring. I'm not going to

937
01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:21.000
bother with looking for a plug, especially if it's just

938
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:26.000
a plug, an electrical one. So I thought I was

939
01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:28.199
just gonna have to wander around. I see, you see it,

940
01:21:28.279 --> 01:21:31.159
you know? She said? Okay. I went to look at

941
01:21:31.199 --> 01:21:34.279
the microphones, just to see what they got in there.

942
01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:37.039
It's occasionally I used to get stuff from there to

943
01:21:37.079 --> 01:21:43.600
try and improve the quality of the recordings. I don't

944
01:21:43.600 --> 01:21:46.279
know what it's funny. I never seem to manage to

945
01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:51.600
do very well with the quality, but it's better now anyway.

946
01:21:52.479 --> 01:21:58.840
So I get a phone call. My phone rings, so

947
01:21:58.960 --> 01:22:08.760
I answer the phone and says, where are you? And

948
01:22:09.039 --> 01:22:11.479
that's the first thing I heard. So to me, where

949
01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:16.319
I am? I'm here, I said, who is this? He said,

950
01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:25.760
it's soup lady. I can't remember her name. I said, okay.

951
01:22:26.239 --> 01:22:30.279
She said where are you? I said, I'm here. I'm walking

952
01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:37.279
up the hill. She said what, And I realized I'd

953
01:22:37.359 --> 01:22:39.640
left the shop without I'd forgot I was with her.

954
01:22:40.520 --> 01:22:46.079
So I'd looked at the microwave microphones. Nothing there. I

955
01:22:46.199 --> 01:22:50.359
just walked out the shop and started walking home, completely

956
01:22:50.399 --> 01:22:52.479
forgot I was with her. And she was the other

957
01:22:52.520 --> 01:22:55.840
side of the shop looking for plugs and probably queued

958
01:22:55.920 --> 01:22:58.880
up to pay for it. And then she finishes and

959
01:22:58.920 --> 01:23:02.119
she's looking for me. So ten minutes later, she's like,

960
01:23:02.399 --> 01:23:11.319
where's the bloke that I came in here with. That

961
01:23:11.399 --> 01:23:17.479
didn't seem to help the romance, so I said, well,

962
01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:19.880
drawing me to wait here, she said, can you come

963
01:23:19.920 --> 01:23:22.720
back down? I said no, I just wait here, just

964
01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:27.640
catch me up. And that possibly didn't help with a

965
01:23:27.720 --> 01:23:32.279
romantic situation either. Mind you, I was a little bit

966
01:23:32.279 --> 01:23:35.800
put off because earlier in the evening the afternoon, we

967
01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:40.920
were walking through the park heading our way towards the

968
01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:47.920
Blockbusters and I kind of held her hand. I didn't

969
01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:50.039
kind of I did hold her hand because I thought

970
01:23:50.079 --> 01:23:58.359
at that point we were not married. But I thought maybe,

971
01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:02.800
you know, because of all the conversations and previously during

972
01:24:02.840 --> 01:24:05.000
the week building up to this and talking about having

973
01:24:05.039 --> 01:24:10.000
babies together and getting married and you know, stuff like

974
01:24:10.039 --> 01:24:13.760
that every night for the whole week leading up to

975
01:24:13.760 --> 01:24:20.079
the Sunday, included the previous Saturday evening, just like fifteen

976
01:24:20.119 --> 01:24:22.760
hours ago, we were being all soppy on the phone,

977
01:24:24.640 --> 01:24:29.520
and I know she slopped me up. She served me

978
01:24:29.600 --> 01:24:35.560
some sloppy soup and a bit of bread, which I

979
01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:39.800
don't know where that came from. And I was like, okay,

980
01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:45.600
maybe that's what she eats. And as I said, she

981
01:24:45.720 --> 01:24:49.279
was healthy, so that was probably something that she would

982
01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:55.600
have for food class. That's food. No sausages, no cakes,

983
01:24:56.439 --> 01:24:59.560
no chocolate. I don't know what's wrong with her, but hey,

984
01:25:00.239 --> 01:25:06.960
everyone's different than me, so I'm thinking, well, she's still

985
01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:17.479
We still decided to go and you know, go and

986
01:25:17.520 --> 01:25:20.079
do her. What did we do? Do We walk through

987
01:25:20.119 --> 01:25:30.920
the park? Walk through the park. Yeah, yeah, after that,

988
01:25:31.039 --> 01:25:36.840
so yeah, so after the soup fiasco, we walked through

989
01:25:36.880 --> 01:25:39.680
the park and I just went to hold her hand.

990
01:25:40.720 --> 01:25:47.239
I kind of thought that she would know and we

991
01:25:47.279 --> 01:25:52.560
would kind of maybe accidentally touch each other hands and

992
01:25:52.600 --> 01:25:58.680
that spark with ignite a love affair that lasted forever,

993
01:25:59.079 --> 01:26:02.840
you know, just something simple like that. There was no spark.

994
01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:07.520
All there was was annoyance from her. So I kind

995
01:26:07.520 --> 01:26:10.560
of held her hand and she, I mean, she didn't

996
01:26:10.600 --> 01:26:15.119
like to say get off me. You know, she wasn't

997
01:26:15.239 --> 01:26:17.239
vomiting in a bush or anything, but it was just

998
01:26:17.399 --> 01:26:25.119
very much like that. Okay, I mean again, I just

999
01:26:25.159 --> 01:26:28.279
want to express that there was a lot of romance

1000
01:26:28.399 --> 01:26:33.359
leading up to this moment. I thought, So it wasn't

1001
01:26:33.399 --> 01:26:36.479
like I was. I didn't. I hadn't just met her.

1002
01:26:37.159 --> 01:26:40.239
I've known her for a long time, well, probably a

1003
01:26:40.319 --> 01:26:44.960
year maybe, and hadn't seen her for quite a few months.

1004
01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:47.239
But we've been speaking on the phone for a couple

1005
01:26:47.319 --> 01:26:50.520
of weeks leading up to this. I'm extending now to

1006
01:26:50.560 --> 01:26:58.479
two weeks rather than one week. And I thought she

1007
01:26:58.600 --> 01:27:02.239
loved me, so I thought maybe put my hand out

1008
01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:08.920
to hold her hand, and she pushed me away. I mean,

1009
01:27:09.000 --> 01:27:10.840
she didn't push me in the pond, but she did

1010
01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:15.239
like have a distance, and she said she didn't like

1011
01:27:15.319 --> 01:27:22.000
doing stuff like that in public. Yeah. Ironically, when we

1012
01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:23.600
were back at her place, when we came back and

1013
01:27:23.600 --> 01:27:27.880
we were watching the Karai Kid, she touched my ear

1014
01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:34.000
and I didn't push her away. I thought it was

1015
01:27:34.119 --> 01:27:39.760
very strange. I thought, of all the places that you

1016
01:27:39.760 --> 01:27:42.119
could touch my ear, isn't the one that I would choose,

1017
01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:44.640
would not be at the top of the list. But

1018
01:27:44.680 --> 01:27:48.159
I didn't push her away. I didn't go get off

1019
01:27:48.199 --> 01:27:53.520
my ear. Oh, not in public or private or anywhere. Ooh,

1020
01:27:53.840 --> 01:28:00.800
it's my ear. Ooh. No, I didn't do that. At least,

1021
01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:05.800
I don't think I did that, mind you, If I

1022
01:28:05.800 --> 01:28:08.560
did do that, that would explain why she didn't want

1023
01:28:08.600 --> 01:28:17.600
to see me again. No, I didn't do that, but

1024
01:28:17.680 --> 01:28:21.680
I realized there was nothing there. It was like there

1025
01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:26.319
was she's playing with my ear, and I thought, I'm

1026
01:28:26.359 --> 01:28:31.039
not a toy, you know. I mean, first, I'm not

1027
01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:32.880
toy to play with, and I'm not a toy that

1028
01:28:32.920 --> 01:28:36.000
you can just switch on and off, just you know,

1029
01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:44.000
just and then I left. I went home, and the

1030
01:28:44.079 --> 01:28:46.640
next day I bought some gifts and left it outside

1031
01:28:46.640 --> 01:28:50.000
her house. That wasn't a good idea because then she

1032
01:28:50.119 --> 01:28:53.680
sent me a text saying go away. Well maybe not

1033
01:28:53.760 --> 01:29:07.680
those words, but so even at four, even at forty, yeah,

1034
01:29:07.720 --> 01:29:11.640
I was forty. At this point, I did not have

1035
01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:22.600
the first idea how to deal with relationships. Now I'm fifty,

1036
01:29:22.640 --> 01:29:31.279
nearly fifty five. In five weeks, i'll be fifty five,

1037
01:29:34.319 --> 01:29:48.520
finished snoring and weird, like, okay, I still don't really know.

1038
01:29:49.279 --> 01:29:53.600
I wouldn't know what to do now on a date now,

1039
01:29:56.760 --> 01:29:59.800
I wouldn't even know. I'm not have been out with

1040
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:06.359
people over the years, but not anyone that was like,

1041
01:30:07.359 --> 01:30:11.399
I've not met anyone who's like, wow, I really want

1042
01:30:11.439 --> 01:30:13.319
to be with this person and asked them out and

1043
01:30:13.319 --> 01:30:17.159
they said yes, and being all nervous about a date

1044
01:30:17.239 --> 01:30:23.720
and gone out and it's gone really well. In fact,

1045
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:32.199
I think, I think arguably I can say that's never happened. Yeah,

1046
01:30:32.399 --> 01:30:36.359
I've never I've never never been on a date with

1047
01:30:36.479 --> 01:30:41.680
someone that I really was I've dated people that I

1048
01:30:41.760 --> 01:30:44.760
got on with and went on dates with them, but

1049
01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:51.520
I never never had that. I've never asked anyone out

1050
01:30:51.600 --> 01:30:54.920
really that I really liked, or maybe a couple of times,

1051
01:30:55.199 --> 01:30:57.279
not that I didn't like the people I was dating,

1052
01:30:57.359 --> 01:31:05.279
but yeah, sort of going on a first date with

1053
01:31:05.399 --> 01:31:07.920
someone that I didn't know anything about, but I was

1054
01:31:08.079 --> 01:31:13.680
absolutely besotted in love with a person. And I've never

1055
01:31:13.760 --> 01:31:23.119
done that. No, you know, I've got to like people

1056
01:31:23.119 --> 01:31:27.800
a bit more over time. I think that's and they do.

1057
01:31:28.159 --> 01:31:37.600
Yeah hm hmm. So if I had my time over again,

1058
01:31:40.079 --> 01:31:43.199
I've been thinking about stuff like that lately. It's like, Okay,

1059
01:31:44.239 --> 01:31:50.800
what would I do different? And I think back to

1060
01:31:56.920 --> 01:32:01.760
there's so many things. My stomach needs to eat some

1061
01:32:01.840 --> 01:32:06.560
food and that does not include soup. If I put

1062
01:32:06.640 --> 01:32:12.039
soup in my belly, now, my belly would go. No, no, Bernie,

1063
01:32:12.399 --> 01:32:23.039
No soup not allowed. Yeah, I wouldn't know. I suppose.

1064
01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:27.520
One thing is I would never have stopped the karate

1065
01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:33.760
when I was fifteen sixteen, You know, I'd have continued.

1066
01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:35.840
I wouldn't have worked in a chip shop as my

1067
01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:47.199
first job. Very croaky. Today, I should get a drink.

1068
01:32:46.079 --> 01:32:58.479
Oh so smooth and silky again. Oh, just a little

1069
01:32:58.479 --> 01:33:02.800
bit of lubrication and I got my normal voice back again.

1070
01:33:04.039 --> 01:33:14.520
Oh sorry, So yeah, I come what I was talking about.

1071
01:33:14.560 --> 01:33:17.479
But I do need to eat something, so I'm gonna go.

1072
01:33:18.000 --> 01:33:22.239
I'm gonna go. And I realized I haven't really done

1073
01:33:22.399 --> 01:33:31.319
all of the the what's it names? What is it?

1074
01:33:31.560 --> 01:33:34.119
What am I doing? Q? And A Thursday? I've not

1075
01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:35.760
done all of them, but I might go through some

1076
01:33:35.840 --> 01:33:39.439
of them again and have a time if I can

1077
01:33:39.479 --> 01:33:49.039
find some weird ones. Okay, let's let's have a look.

1078
01:33:49.880 --> 01:34:00.600
No no, I Apparently one lawyer refused to refuse to

1079
01:34:00.640 --> 01:34:06.399
take on a case for a rooster. Refused to represent

1080
01:34:06.439 --> 01:34:09.840
a rooster. I think I've heard roosters are a bit

1081
01:34:09.840 --> 01:34:33.319
of a pain. Judicial transcripts detail animals behavior as evidence. Wow, okay,

1082
01:34:34.199 --> 01:34:38.880
Princess of Wales plaque now removed to London for brown

1083
01:34:38.960 --> 01:34:45.359
dog statue. That better not be true. That better not true.

1084
01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:53.239
You've replaced a plaque for Princess Diana for a picture

1085
01:34:53.600 --> 01:34:57.800
or a statue of a dog, a brown dog. No,

1086
01:34:58.079 --> 01:35:05.479
I don't know nothing about this, but that sounds how wrong?

1087
01:35:06.760 --> 01:35:24.399
Sounds wrong? M Wow, my stomach gurden. It's just time

1088
01:35:24.439 --> 01:35:29.039
to eat something to go. Thank you for listeners to

1089
01:35:31.960 --> 01:35:39.119
my super exciting discourse on humanities and such and such.

1090
01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:44.119
So thank you for listening. Remember remember to be kind

1091
01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:47.840
to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy and

1092
01:35:47.880 --> 01:35:55.079
be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots

1093
01:35:55.079 --> 01:36:18.640
of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and meaningful way,

1094
01:36:21.119 --> 01:36:26.199
Maybe in a way that can not just allow you

1095
01:36:26.680 --> 01:36:36.720
to feel calmer now and throughout the time we spend

1096
01:36:36.760 --> 01:36:44.720
together here, not just relaxed at the end of the

1097
01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:50.159
recording when it's finished and you can enjoy that sense

1098
01:36:50.279 --> 01:37:06.880
of comfort and peace, but also I think it would

1099
01:37:06.960 --> 01:37:22.840
be nice to have those feelings of relaxation continue for

1100
01:37:23.000 --> 01:37:34.880
longer after the recording has ended, so that you can

1101
01:37:36.560 --> 01:37:47.199
still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe in a

1102
01:37:47.239 --> 01:37:59.720
few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly

1103
01:38:02.800 --> 01:38:07.439
especially if you find like some people do and myself

1104
01:38:07.479 --> 01:38:12.640
as well, sometimes I find one particular recording that really

1105
01:38:14.279 --> 01:38:21.279
resonates with me, and I just listen to it over

1106
01:38:21.319 --> 01:38:34.039
and over again every morning, every evening. There was this

1107
01:38:34.119 --> 01:38:41.039
recording from We're going back to about nineteen ninety nine.

1108
01:38:41.319 --> 01:38:46.880
It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It

1109
01:38:46.960 --> 01:38:54.119
kind of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to find

1110
01:38:54.159 --> 01:38:58.239
it again and it still has the same effect on me.

1111
01:39:00.840 --> 01:39:10.600
And part of it was the person's voice relaxed me.

1112
01:39:14.439 --> 01:39:20.600
She just felt so peaceful, and I'd look forward to

1113
01:39:20.800 --> 01:39:27.239
listening to her in the morning and in the evening,

1114
01:39:33.640 --> 01:39:42.640
and I knew before even pressing the play button that

1115
01:39:42.760 --> 01:39:46.199
as soon as I've done that pressed the play button.

1116
01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:57.960
This was in the days of CD players pressed the

1117
01:39:58.039 --> 01:40:03.399
play button. In fact, it might have even been a

1118
01:40:03.439 --> 01:40:08.199
tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed and then

1119
01:40:13.720 --> 01:40:26.760
even without necessarily listening to her words because I had

1120
01:40:26.800 --> 01:40:36.319
them memorized. Really, it was as if my body knew

1121
01:40:37.279 --> 01:40:49.680
exactly what to do, and the muscles just almost went

1122
01:40:49.720 --> 01:41:10.600
into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind would slow down.

1123
01:41:16.199 --> 01:41:24.920
Now now I was listening to this recording in the

1124
01:41:25.000 --> 01:41:32.760
early days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever

1125
01:41:32.880 --> 01:41:40.760
made any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't

1126
01:41:40.760 --> 01:41:50.920
start doing that till two thousand and six, I knew,

1127
01:41:54.800 --> 01:42:07.920
I knew how helpful I found being able to just

1128
01:42:08.079 --> 01:42:16.079
let go, to have that trust in the person that

1129
01:42:16.119 --> 01:42:30.000
I'm listening to, knowing that it's going to be just

1130
01:42:30.119 --> 01:42:37.399
as relaxing, if not more so. Each time you hear

1131
01:42:37.439 --> 01:42:52.920
my voice, you may feel the same. Some people have

1132
01:42:53.039 --> 01:43:07.680
been listening to me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously,

1133
01:43:07.680 --> 01:43:14.159
not twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

1134
01:43:16.000 --> 01:43:31.079
Some people maybe listen every day. That's something that I

1135
01:43:31.119 --> 01:43:47.119
do which you may not realize by listening, is when

1136
01:43:47.399 --> 01:44:02.880
I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also am

1137
01:44:03.159 --> 01:44:16.960
affected by the words that I say. So if I

1138
01:44:16.960 --> 01:44:24.319
set you focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,

1139
01:44:27.800 --> 01:44:35.720
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be

1140
01:44:35.840 --> 01:44:53.920
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,

1141
01:44:56.720 --> 01:45:05.680
and maybe notice the difference. But in each hand, perhaps

1142
01:45:05.720 --> 01:45:12.439
notice the air in the room, the temperature of the room.

1143
01:45:14.279 --> 01:45:24.680
On the backs of your hands. You may start to

1144
01:45:25.239 --> 01:45:33.319
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even

1145
01:45:33.359 --> 01:45:37.600
though there may not be any type of breeze at

1146
01:45:37.640 --> 01:45:50.640
all where you are right now, and as you become

1147
01:45:51.279 --> 01:46:03.880
aware of your hands, I'm also are aware of how

1148
01:46:05.039 --> 01:46:29.479
relaxed my hands are feeling now and when it comes

1149
01:46:29.640 --> 01:46:36.640
to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the

1150
01:46:36.800 --> 01:46:52.640
reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make

1151
01:46:52.720 --> 01:47:13.920
these recordings. I also notice is my mind drifting. In fact,

1152
01:47:14.159 --> 01:47:30.880
at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and

1153
01:47:30.920 --> 01:47:41.840
then I carry on talking. And it's only where I

1154
01:47:41.960 --> 01:47:51.319
listen back to do the editing. I hear snoring, and

1155
01:47:51.439 --> 01:48:01.399
I think I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. There's

1156
01:48:01.399 --> 01:48:08.560
the snaw enemies a pick turned up. That's why I

1157
01:48:08.680 --> 01:48:16.720
sound like when I snow. How I get really into

1158
01:48:16.880 --> 01:48:36.199
the whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How

1159
01:48:36.319 --> 01:48:46.479
relaxed do you feel in your feet, how relaxed you

1160
01:48:46.760 --> 01:49:08.000
feel in your hands. I have noticed more and more

1161
01:49:13.960 --> 01:49:26.560
that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,

1162
01:49:30.279 --> 01:49:46.439
the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional

1163
01:49:49.600 --> 01:50:12.960
muscle relaxation. So this allows you debreath easier without necessarily

1164
01:50:15.800 --> 01:50:43.439
focusing on your breath. However, being able to notice the

1165
01:50:43.880 --> 01:51:13.760
ease in which you breathe so naturally, You breathe so

1166
01:51:14.119 --> 01:51:57.359
very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving,

1167
01:52:03.119 --> 01:52:16.399
when I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize

1168
01:52:18.560 --> 01:52:32.880
a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that

1169
01:52:35.000 --> 01:53:07.720
life giving oxygen. And it feels nice too, if nothing else,

1170
01:53:10.960 --> 01:53:45.039
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling

1171
01:53:45.479 --> 01:54:35.920
of peace serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to

1172
01:54:36.239 --> 01:55:11.319
just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful,

1173
01:55:21.279 --> 01:56:04.039
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

1174
01:56:30.560 --> 01:57:21.880
noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because

1175
01:57:22.079 --> 01:57:50.640
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical

1176
01:57:51.000 --> 01:58:02.640
sensations of allowing the stress to drip out of your body,

1177
01:58:09.199 --> 01:58:32.800
dripping out of every part of your body and being

1178
01:58:33.359 --> 01:59:11.960
released from your brain. Change your mind slowly but surely,

1179
01:59:18.840 --> 01:59:20.399
the muscles.

1180
01:59:20.239 --> 01:59:56.359
In your legs relax res res so very deep, thing.

1181

Racks so deeply, and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

1182
02:00:37.159 --> 02:01:01.239
your arms and shoulders deepening, eat each part of your

1183
02:01:01.319 --> 02:01:43.199
body further and deeper and deeper, noticing the feelings in

1184
02:01:43.279 --> 02:02:43.399
the back of your neck, m the feelings in your wrists, muscles,

1185
02:02:45.439 --> 02:03:22.560
in front of your body, I all say, feeling peaceful, deep,

1186
02:03:39.760 --> 02:03:50.039
there's a sense of pace spreads through your very cool.

1187
02:04:20.600 --> 02:04:40.439
Even when you focus on your mind. Her mind becomes

1188

a and slower deep relaxing, so very slow. His stomach.

1191
02:07:50.279 --> 02:07:59.079
a spy from your brain all the way down in

1192
02:07:59.159 --> 02:08:08.960
the middle of your back, sending and receiving millions of

1193
02:08:09.279 --> 02:09:10.880
messages every day, deep comfort, increasing deeply relaxed, your knees,

1203
02:19:01.200 --> 02:19:08.920
we can just focus on the different parts of your body,

1204
02:19:13.079 --> 02:20:22.559
just to notice your forehead and your eyes uptual, so loose,

1205
02:20:42.239 --> 02:22:02.639
noticing in the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, dress day,

1206
02:22:15.000 --> 02:23:46.959
pace for energy, pace, to breathe, such easier. Yes, you

1207
02:24:02.680 --> 02:24:52.520
may have or may not have noticed your mind drifting peaceful,

1208
02:25:06.600 --> 02:25:21.799
move any even more deeply in the direction of total

1209
02:25:26.440 --> 02:27:22.680

1211
02:28:36.079 --> 02:29:32.959
rex c reaxed. Your body feels almost invisible, so very

1212
02:29:33.200 --> 02:30:41.559
relaxed and paceful, so paceful, right Leo, so Paul, so fair.

1213
02:30:52.440 --> 02:30:58.680
And you could start to notice that you are feeling

1214
02:30:59.079 --> 02:31:10.280
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind

1215
02:31:11.239 --> 02:31:18.799
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

1216
02:31:18.920 --> 02:31:28.079
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down.

1217
02:31:33.000 --> 02:31:40.159
And that could be almost in recognition of I guess

1218
02:31:40.600 --> 02:31:53.079
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally

1219
02:31:54.799 --> 02:32:05.799
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

1220
02:32:05.879 --> 02:32:12.760
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

1221
02:32:14.920 --> 02:32:22.399
take a break from your life as it is, and

1222
02:32:22.559 --> 02:32:30.280
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

1223
02:32:30.399 --> 02:32:35.959
some time off and to allow your body to relax

1224
02:32:37.680 --> 02:32:45.600
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

1225
02:32:48.239 --> 02:32:53.799
releases the tension any stresses that you had in your body,

1226
02:33:00.040 --> 02:33:04.559
almost as if the parts of your body just open up,

1227
02:33:05.920 --> 02:33:17.520
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing

1228
02:33:18.399 --> 02:33:27.920
that negativity with positive healing energy, which then fills your

1229
02:33:28.000 --> 02:33:39.799
body up and your mind to also starts to appreciate

1230
02:33:40.719 --> 02:33:56.680
those feelings of increasing confidence and almost uplifting feeling positive

1231
02:33:58.680 --> 02:34:10.280
healing an energy that spreads through your body like a

1232
02:34:10.479 --> 02:34:24.600
wave of comfort. And all this comes from just allowing

1233
02:34:24.680 --> 02:34:33.159
yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however long

1234
02:34:33.239 --> 02:34:43.239
you want it to be, to just rest and allow

1235
02:34:45.799 --> 02:34:55.799
your mind and your body to almost reset itself to

1236
02:34:56.479 --> 02:35:12.120
the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more

1237
02:35:12.280 --> 02:35:25.639
room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around

1238
02:35:25.920 --> 02:35:34.159
your body and into your mind, almost as if your

1239
02:35:34.280 --> 02:35:44.799
mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each

1240
02:35:45.079 --> 02:35:58.360
other with that growing positivity and calmness. And it feels nice,

1241
02:36:01.000 --> 02:36:06.879
really does feel nice to know that you are the

1242
02:36:07.040 --> 02:36:20.360
one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort and

1243
02:36:20.559 --> 02:36:34.000
to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout your

1244
02:36:34.079 --> 02:36:46.719
body and As I focus on each part of your body,

1245
02:36:49.120 --> 02:37:01.200
you can notice that that part becomes even more relaxed

1246
02:37:03.200 --> 02:37:12.040
just by focusing on it. It becomes even more calm

1247
02:37:12.319 --> 02:37:23.000
and comfortable, just by focusing. And as I move down

1248
02:37:23.239 --> 02:37:30.719
your body, starting at your head, the parts that you

1249
02:37:30.760 --> 02:37:40.760
have already focused on will continue to relax deeply, and

1250
02:37:40.879 --> 02:37:46.920
those parts that have not yet focused on or just

1251
02:37:47.079 --> 02:37:59.319
automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation of even more

1252
02:38:00.120 --> 02:38:11.840
comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start by

1253
02:38:12.000 --> 02:38:19.559
focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of the feelings

1254
02:38:19.680 --> 02:38:29.959
of your forehead and any background sounds like mister Herbert

1255
02:38:30.079 --> 02:38:35.559
Opigeon can just allow you to feel even more relaxed.

1256
02:38:39.479 --> 02:38:45.559
Just means you're in the moment. This isn't this isn't

1257
02:38:45.600 --> 02:38:53.600
a sterile environment. This is the world. I live in

1258
02:38:53.680 --> 02:39:06.000
the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around. So

1259
02:39:06.079 --> 02:39:11.200
as you focus on your forehead, just notice how it

1260
02:39:11.479 --> 02:39:21.360
becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on my

1261
02:39:21.680 --> 02:39:31.200
voice and that part of your body. Moving down to

1262
02:39:31.319 --> 02:39:44.280
your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your eyelids

1263
02:39:44.520 --> 02:39:51.520
feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,

1264
02:39:54.920 --> 02:40:05.600
and all the muscles around your eyes, relaxing completely, moving

1265
02:40:05.719 --> 02:40:12.840
your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1266
02:40:14.120 --> 02:40:22.040
your teeth. You comes the whole of your mouth, relaxing,

1267
02:40:25.520 --> 02:40:35.799
calm and lease. As you focus now on your jaw,

1268
02:40:39.239 --> 02:40:43.920
just the parts of your jaw near your mouth, your chin,

1269
02:40:45.200 --> 02:40:48.280
but all the way up the size of your face

1270
02:40:49.479 --> 02:41:01.879
to your ears, the hole of your jaw, feeling more

1271
02:41:02.719 --> 02:41:24.760
relaxed and calm. Focusing on your neck, the front of

1272
02:41:24.840 --> 02:41:33.319
your neck and your throat, relaxing and loose and calm.

1273
02:41:37.520 --> 02:41:42.680
The sides of your neck, the right and the left

1274
02:41:42.920 --> 02:42:01.799
side of your neck, relax and lace and calm. Now

1275
02:42:02.120 --> 02:42:08.559
the back of your neck. Focus in on the back

1276
02:42:08.840 --> 02:42:19.079
of your neck, letting go of any tension that may

1277
02:42:19.120 --> 02:42:29.639
have been there before, and enjoying that sense of increasing

1278
02:42:31.239 --> 02:42:39.799
comfort and release that you can experience in the back

1279
02:42:39.879 --> 02:42:52.360
of your neck. Moving down your back and moving either

1280
02:42:52.600 --> 02:42:56.639
side of your spine right from the top of your

1281
02:42:56.760 --> 02:43:02.600
back all the way down to the bottom of your back,

1282
02:43:08.680 --> 02:43:20.040
down to your lower back. As you move up and

1283
02:43:20.239 --> 02:43:29.280
down your spine, you can feel the muscles either side

1284
02:43:29.319 --> 02:43:44.040
of your spine relaxing even more, and as those muscles relax,

1285
02:43:46.200 --> 02:43:54.040
that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards from your

1286
02:43:54.200 --> 02:44:03.719
spine into both sides of your back, the top of

1287
02:44:03.799 --> 02:44:10.719
your back, the middle en your lower back. And as

1288
02:44:10.799 --> 02:44:18.239
you scan gently and slowly up and down your back,

1289
02:44:20.639 --> 02:44:24.959
there's the muscles in the top of your back relax

1290
02:44:25.559 --> 02:44:33.159
and become looser. The muscles in the middle of your

1291
02:44:33.239 --> 02:44:40.680
back also seem to just almost divide from each other,

1292
02:44:41.639 --> 02:44:57.879
separating and almost melting. And in your lower back there

1293
02:44:57.959 --> 02:45:05.319
seems to be an extra special thing feeling of comfort.

1294
02:45:10.600 --> 02:45:16.719
The spreads into your hips. Sit down your lower back,

1295
02:45:17.040 --> 02:45:25.040
into your hips, into the area where your cosicks are,

1296
02:45:28.600 --> 02:45:34.799
and into your buttocks, and all these muscles that spread

1297
02:45:37.520 --> 02:45:47.280
bring your lower back into your hip area start to melt,

1298
02:45:51.719 --> 02:46:04.040
start to really let go, and you know where about

1299
02:46:04.200 --> 02:46:10.159
to focus on your shoulders. Your back and your spine

1300
02:46:11.239 --> 02:46:28.000
will continue un til let go. Continue to relax so calmly,

1301
02:46:32.680 --> 02:46:37.639
and as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice

1302
02:46:38.040 --> 02:47:09.360
they're already feeling really loose, They're already feeding calm and fear.

1303
02:47:13.680 --> 02:47:22.000
Those muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders.

1304
02:47:28.559 --> 02:47:57.959
Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and

1305
02:47:58.159 --> 02:48:11.000
the feeling in your shoulder seems to spread deep into

1306
02:48:11.079 --> 02:48:21.479
your shoulders A sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1307
02:48:21.840 --> 02:48:38.879
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

1308
02:48:39.000 --> 02:48:47.239
all the way to underneath your arms, relaxing the whole

1309
02:48:47.440 --> 02:48:52.440
area between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your

1310
02:48:52.639 --> 02:49:12.399
arms healing. You feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders,

1311
02:49:15.959 --> 02:49:17.879
which sense that's.

1312
02:49:19.520 --> 02:49:21.440
Deep healing.

1313
02:49:24.520 --> 02:49:42.000
Message into your arms. You may feel almost as if

1314
02:49:42.120 --> 02:49:48.639
your arms are not even there because they're so relaxed,

1315
02:49:51.840 --> 02:50:07.559
so deeply relaxed, so so calm.

1316
02:50:22.760 --> 02:50:29.719
So this.

1317
02:50:37.280 --> 02:50:48.360
The feels spreading all the way down your arms to elbows,

1318
02:50:52.399 --> 02:51:20.360
including your elbows, circumfort spreads or away into rests, your

1319
02:51:20.639 --> 02:51:37.719
forearments in your wrists so heavy. Yet at the same time,

1320
02:51:45.360 --> 02:52:19.479
sunlight and gentle frey sin now on.

1321
02:52:22.159 --> 02:52:46.239
Your hands, my hands.

1322
02:52:52.079 --> 02:53:21.639
So peaceful in your hands, the sense of real pace.

1323
02:53:33.440 --> 02:53:47.079
It just seems to feel so familiar on your hands,

1324
02:53:47.520 --> 02:55:54.760
relax deeply else things things you think it tips, making

1325
02:55:55.319 --> 02:56:26.159
attention to affront your body sure console and manuw focus

1326
02:56:28.079 --> 02:58:15.079
till legs like musels and your fires and knees. I relaxed,

1327
02:58:42.319 --> 03:00:51.600
the cough muscles just shades a puzzy A see then

that deep relaxation, to spread your chest, your story, RelA,

1331
03:02:54.399 --> 03:03:13.159
let me go everything. So I'm gonna start counting down

1332
03:03:13.319 --> 03:03:24.719
now from twenty down to one. You can imagine in

1333
03:03:24.840 --> 03:03:30.399
a way it's like just walking down some steps and

1334
03:03:30.520 --> 03:03:36.040
each step or twenty steps, and each step represents a

1335
03:03:36.280 --> 03:03:49.840
level of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of that comfort,

1336
03:03:56.479 --> 03:04:02.159
and the furvies you walk down those steps, the deeper

1337
03:04:02.840 --> 03:05:20.000
more relaxed you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen,

1338
03:05:57.959 --> 03:08:01.840
seventeen sixteenhhhhhhht see the stud fix three.

1339
03:08:44.440 --> 03:09:44.920
Four fi.

1340
03:10:51.680 --> 03:10:52.360
Too well.

1341
03:12:11.799 --> 03:15:10.799
USUS eight.

1342
03:16:10.239 --> 03:20:33.680
Six D five four.

1343
03:20:45.120 --> 03:22:53.399
Due to the.

1344
03:24:00.799 --> 03:24:01.079
One.

1345
03:24:50.920 --> 03:25:08.000
Now, as you focus on your eyes, We're gonna count

1346
03:25:08.120 --> 03:25:19.920
down from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

1347
03:25:23.680 --> 03:25:32.159
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1348
03:25:33.680 --> 03:25:50.719
our whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1349
03:25:50.799 --> 03:25:59.120
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focus

1350
03:25:59.280 --> 03:26:12.000
in on your eyes, you will become twice is relaxed

1351
03:26:14.280 --> 03:26:27.319
with each number counting down that you may find the

1352
03:26:27.440 --> 03:26:33.959
all you want to do is just drift off to sleep,

1353
03:26:36.920 --> 03:26:43.520
and if that's what you want, then just allow yourself

1354
03:26:43.680 --> 03:26:58.280
to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going

1355
03:26:58.399 --> 03:27:08.360
to begin counting down. I'm ten down to one right now,

1356
03:27:16.879 --> 03:28:18.600
ten nine eight.

1357
03:29:11.840 --> 03:33:38.399
Seven four.

1358
03:33:40.600 --> 03:36:09.520
Three USUS.

1359
03:36:14.639 --> 03:36:14.920
One.

1360
03:36:21.280 --> 03:36:37.959
So counted down from ten to one ten nine eight

1361
03:36:40.760 --> 03:37:05.600
seven six five four three two one. And maybe that

1362
03:37:05.799 --> 03:37:09.879
was a bit too quick in order to relax. Maybe

1363
03:37:09.920 --> 03:37:14.239
it's a bit too fast for you to notice the

1364
03:37:15.520 --> 03:37:22.360
calming of your body, maybe even a little bit of

1365
03:37:22.479 --> 03:37:26.399
pressure there, like you're counting down from ten to one.

1366
03:37:26.520 --> 03:37:29.920
Would you expect me to do? Man, expect me to

1367
03:37:29.959 --> 03:37:39.559
STI go with floppy just because you're counting down. We

1368
03:37:39.639 --> 03:37:42.920
could try it again, but this time I'll go a

1369
03:37:42.959 --> 03:37:50.319
bit slower this time, and you focus on the whole

1370
03:37:50.440 --> 03:37:56.680
of your body before we focus on your legs. Just

1371
03:37:56.920 --> 03:38:06.920
notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed

1372
03:38:11.680 --> 03:38:31.319
with every number that I count down ten nine, eight

1373
03:38:36.680 --> 03:40:03.879
seven six, five four three one. Just notice how how

1374
03:40:03.959 --> 03:40:14.040
you feel, generally, how your body feels. It's not necessarily

1375
03:40:14.120 --> 03:40:24.520
even about counting down from ten to one. It's that

1376
03:40:24.840 --> 03:40:44.520
space that you have, that space between being active physically

1377
03:40:44.719 --> 03:40:54.319
or mentally to just sitting or lying down, just being there,

1378
03:40:55.079 --> 03:41:00.520
not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing to think

1379
03:41:00.600 --> 03:41:06.520
about anything. So it opens up a space, you know,

1380
03:41:06.719 --> 03:41:16.040
a bit of a space, a gap. And the more

1381
03:41:17.319 --> 03:41:20.680
I came down from ten to one, the bigger that

1382
03:41:20.879 --> 03:41:31.840
gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation.

1383
03:41:37.799 --> 03:41:50.159
It's a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or

1384
03:41:50.680 --> 03:42:04.520
discomforts physically or emotionally moves away. Allows you.

1385
03:42:07.239 --> 03:42:07.760
To just.

1386
03:42:10.760 --> 03:42:17.479
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

1387
03:42:17.920 --> 03:42:28.120
and notice that gap widening, the gap. And as it widens,

1388
03:42:28.200 --> 03:42:34.239
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

1389
03:42:34.319 --> 03:43:44.079
gap and gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five,

1390
03:43:55.200 --> 03:45:07.399
four three one. Now, how does your body feel now?

1391
03:45:20.079 --> 03:45:32.760
Can you notice that? Do you feeling calmer, the feeling

1392
03:45:35.120 --> 03:46:02.479
more relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just

1393
03:46:02.680 --> 03:46:24.040
your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs.

1394
03:46:38.840 --> 03:46:42.840
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be

1395
03:46:42.959 --> 03:46:50.079
doing because I'm sure, like most of your body, there

1396
03:46:50.120 --> 03:47:01.680
is not a lot going on right now. Just focusing

1397
03:47:02.319 --> 03:47:07.920
on the whole of your thighs, the tops of your thighs,

1398
03:47:08.719 --> 03:47:14.079
the sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs,

1399
03:47:15.559 --> 03:47:21.000
your outer thighs, and your inner thighs, basically the whole

1400
03:47:21.079 --> 03:47:28.600
of your thigh that leads into your hip and it

1401
03:47:28.719 --> 03:47:39.399
goes down to your knee joints. Now, this is a

1402
03:47:39.520 --> 03:47:47.920
big area. It's a very heavy area. It's very strong,

1403
03:47:49.159 --> 03:47:54.159
probably the strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs.

1404
03:48:04.319 --> 03:48:12.040
But I don't think we perhaps give enough attention to

1405
03:48:12.280 --> 03:48:26.000
our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs

1406
03:48:26.239 --> 03:48:46.000
are to our lives, how much they actually do for

1407
03:48:46.159 --> 03:49:00.239
us all through our lives. And it may seem sound

1408
03:49:00.319 --> 03:49:05.959
really weird, but I think that all of our body parts,

1409
03:49:08.879 --> 03:49:17.159
especially our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,

1410
03:49:18.120 --> 03:49:36.360
a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for our

1411
03:49:36.479 --> 03:49:45.840
thighs do for us. And I know this may sound

1412
03:49:45.879 --> 03:49:52.239
a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I? Surely

1413
03:49:52.319 --> 03:49:55.120
I should be out in the garden hugging a tree

1414
03:49:55.319 --> 03:50:03.440
or something. Well, it's hard to set a microphone up

1415
03:50:03.479 --> 03:50:06.799
on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise

1416
03:50:06.840 --> 03:50:10.360
I wouldn't be outside in a tree. I can't see

1417
03:50:10.479 --> 03:50:19.120
the television from the tree. If you move down to

1418
03:50:19.200 --> 03:50:29.079
your knees gain such an important part. And I think

1419
03:50:29.159 --> 03:50:36.719
we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself. I don't necessarily

1420
03:50:36.799 --> 03:50:44.159
appreciate all that my needs do for me until I

1421
03:50:44.319 --> 03:50:47.680
have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if I

1422
03:50:47.680 --> 03:50:53.399
ever maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching for some reason.

1423
03:50:55.159 --> 03:51:01.319
It's then that I realize how much it does. You know,

1424
03:51:01.399 --> 03:51:07.360
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1425
03:51:09.120 --> 03:51:16.399
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's

1426
03:51:16.639 --> 03:51:25.000
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.

1427
03:51:29.120 --> 03:51:33.719
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1428
03:51:33.799 --> 03:51:41.280
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude

1429
03:51:42.840 --> 03:51:45.440
and love to your knees for all that they do

1430
03:51:45.600 --> 03:51:58.600
for you, and you can still have that attention on

1431
03:51:58.760 --> 03:52:05.399
your thighs. Maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe you've

1432
03:52:05.639 --> 03:52:23.200
noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as you focus

1433
03:52:23.399 --> 03:52:28.920
now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins, and

1434
03:52:29.040 --> 03:52:35.959
your calf muscles, the bones between your knees and your feet,

1435
03:52:37.559 --> 03:52:49.079
incorporating of course your ankles. So important. You know, anyone

1436
03:52:49.159 --> 03:52:53.920
that's had even like the slightest sprain of an ankle

1437
03:52:55.120 --> 03:53:01.680
knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

1438
03:53:07.600 --> 03:53:09.600
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

1439
03:53:09.680 --> 03:53:15.280
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

1440
03:53:15.440 --> 03:53:20.280
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1441
03:53:20.360 --> 03:53:24.079
it doesn't I can't see any problem with that because

1442
03:53:24.079 --> 03:53:30.120
we're just picking stuff up by our ankles so much

1443
03:53:30.399 --> 03:53:40.040
thinner than the rest of our legs. And from a

1444
03:53:40.159 --> 03:53:44.959
physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense

1445
03:53:46.360 --> 03:53:53.719
that all this weight would ultimately be resting on your

1446
03:53:53.799 --> 03:54:08.799
ankles then leading to your feet that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

1447
03:54:08.879 --> 03:54:14.600
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1448
03:54:14.680 --> 03:54:26.559
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps you

1449
03:54:26.719 --> 03:54:40.040
to get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1450
03:54:40.079 --> 03:54:47.680
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1451
03:54:47.760 --> 03:54:54.079
pointing calf muscles. Didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if

1452
03:54:54.120 --> 03:54:57.680
I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get

1453
03:54:57.760 --> 03:55:02.319
some work. That's not true. The carved muscles are being

1454
03:55:02.440 --> 03:55:15.520
used whenever we use our legs, and your shins there

1455
03:55:15.639 --> 03:55:26.559
to protect your lower legs. Shaped in a way almost

1456
03:55:26.639 --> 03:55:38.399
as a protector for the bone, leading of course to

1457
03:55:38.520 --> 03:55:48.639
your ankles and your feet. But we're not going to

1458
03:55:48.680 --> 03:55:50.840
focus on your feet. We're just going to focus on

1459
03:55:50.920 --> 03:55:57.399
the legs. And I realize, and now that I've mentioned

1460
03:55:57.479 --> 03:56:02.159
your feet, you'll probably focus on them anyway, So maybe

1461
03:56:02.239 --> 03:56:08.360
I should focus on your feet a little bit. You

1462
03:56:08.440 --> 03:56:12.879
can have them in your awareness the same as you

1463
03:56:13.680 --> 03:56:17.600
have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we haven't

1464
03:56:17.639 --> 03:56:23.280
been focusing on your thighs for a few minutes, I've

1465
03:56:23.280 --> 03:56:34.200
been focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of

1466
03:56:37.399 --> 03:56:50.159
comfort in your thighs in this that movement of energy,

1467
03:56:52.239 --> 03:56:59.239
because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1468
03:56:59.319 --> 03:57:04.079
there's the mustles, the big strong muscles that we have

1469
03:57:04.319 --> 03:57:17.639
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of

1470
03:57:17.719 --> 03:57:23.040
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1471
03:57:23.840 --> 03:57:35.399
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1472
03:57:41.959 --> 03:57:49.479
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1473
03:57:49.520 --> 03:57:54.319
the blood, vessels, the ar trees to all this stuff

1474
03:57:54.440 --> 03:58:03.520
that's inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice

1475
03:58:03.559 --> 03:58:07.879
if you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs

1476
03:58:08.520 --> 03:58:13.680
and a message, so you can message on the outside,

1477
03:58:13.959 --> 03:58:16.840
of course, but to be able to get deep into

1478
03:58:16.920 --> 03:58:21.760
the muscles and to be able to just message inside

1479
03:58:21.799 --> 03:58:28.799
your thighs, message in the bones of your leg message

1480
03:58:28.879 --> 03:58:42.079
in or the veins. Just gently healing your thighs and

1481
03:58:42.239 --> 03:58:48.799
you can move down message and inside your knees. Just

1482
03:58:49.000 --> 03:58:55.680
message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that

1483
03:58:56.120 --> 03:59:07.280
healing energy deep into the choice of your knees. Of course,

1484
03:59:07.360 --> 03:59:11.479
there's the back of your your knee and the inside

1485
03:59:11.680 --> 03:59:17.840
crease where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area.

1486
03:59:19.879 --> 03:59:24.200
Very it feels very nice when you stroke it. That

1487
03:59:24.360 --> 03:59:28.040
might be because it's an area that's not really touched

1488
03:59:28.239 --> 03:59:34.840
very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that crease

1489
03:59:36.920 --> 03:59:43.399
in your legs. It's almost like a part that has

1490
03:59:43.479 --> 03:59:54.479
a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,

1491
03:59:54.520 --> 04:00:05.000
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

1492
04:00:05.920 --> 04:00:15.719
your fingers into that crease in your legs. Fold in

1493
04:00:15.840 --> 04:00:19.799
between your legs. You can just message with your fingertips.

1494
04:00:21.000 --> 04:00:27.799
Imagine your fingertips going inside message in the muscle tissue

1495
04:00:32.360 --> 04:00:38.559
you can cause fielder the bones of your knees heading

1496
04:00:38.799 --> 04:00:51.520
through your fingertips, and then as you go down to

1497
04:00:51.600 --> 04:00:54.399
your calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like to

1498
04:00:54.440 --> 04:01:00.920
be able to really put my fingertips deep inside half muscles,

1499
04:01:02.399 --> 04:01:12.159
massage in every single tissue of that muscle, healing every part.

1500
04:01:18.120 --> 04:01:24.239
And then doing the same for my shins, massage in

1501
04:01:24.399 --> 04:01:31.920
and gently stroking the bones, generally stroking them, healing in

1502
04:01:32.040 --> 04:01:39.200
a loving way, because they deserve to be treated. There's

1503
04:01:39.280 --> 04:01:43.319
the precious bones that they are, because our legs are

1504
04:01:43.360 --> 04:01:47.120
so precious as in all the other parts of our body,

1505
04:01:49.639 --> 04:02:03.520
the more precious of any chill on the planet. When

1506
04:02:03.600 --> 04:02:11.360
you start to think about your legs in this way,

1507
04:02:15.920 --> 04:02:22.600
it can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

1508
04:02:25.680 --> 04:02:29.959
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

1509
04:02:30.879 --> 04:02:40.879
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1510
04:02:41.000 --> 04:02:44.879
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

1511
04:02:47.120 --> 04:02:53.479
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your

1512
04:02:53.600 --> 04:03:01.639
fingers deep in there and releasing all tension, just to

1513
04:03:01.840 --> 04:03:11.280
show how much you care about your legs, how much

1514
04:03:11.319 --> 04:03:17.040
you care for what your legs do for you regularly,

1515
04:03:19.399 --> 04:03:29.600
your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles,

1516
04:03:32.520 --> 04:03:37.239
considering how thin they are compared to the rest of

1517
04:03:37.319 --> 04:03:47.079
your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, this so strong, so flexible,

1518
04:03:50.840 --> 04:04:03.680
absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are true a gift because

1519
04:04:03.719 --> 04:04:12.479
of what they do for you, supporting all that weight.

1520
04:04:14.479 --> 04:04:18.879
Regardless of how what weight you are, even if you

1521
04:04:19.000 --> 04:04:23.719
only eat ate stone, there's still a lot of weight

1522
04:04:23.959 --> 04:04:30.639
for these little ankles. Now am a lot heavier than

1523
04:04:30.680 --> 04:04:40.639
eight stone. Double down, Get my ankles support my body

1524
04:04:41.399 --> 04:04:48.000
all the time. Orther. They do give off a sigh

1525
04:04:48.000 --> 04:04:53.200
of relief when I sit down. That's in fact, my

1526
04:04:53.239 --> 04:05:03.000
whole legs do. My feet feels goo, my toes clap,

1527
04:05:04.239 --> 04:05:32.719
they're so happy. Your legs really are amazing. And I

1528
04:05:32.840 --> 04:05:36.760
know that talking about talking about your legs is probably

1529
04:05:39.239 --> 04:05:43.920
possibly among the most most boring things I've ever heard

1530
04:05:44.000 --> 04:05:52.360
anyone say. Possibly, but boring or not, everything I said

1531
04:05:52.520 --> 04:06:09.159
is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not

1532
04:06:09.559 --> 04:06:28.000
just respect, they deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to

1533
04:06:28.159 --> 04:06:33.399
take some time out of the day to just let

1534
04:06:33.600 --> 04:07:09.520
go completely. Your legs really can relax. And because the

1535
04:07:09.680 --> 04:07:14.120
legs are so such a most you know, very important

1536
04:07:14.840 --> 04:07:19.360
part of your body. When you relax, your legs. The

1537
04:07:19.479 --> 04:07:30.680
rest of your body also naturally follows in that journey

1538
04:07:30.840 --> 04:07:42.559
of comfort. I can feel it in my hips. My

1539
04:07:42.719 --> 04:07:50.079
hips feel really loose, and also my lower back as well.

1540
04:07:52.079 --> 04:07:57.840
My lower back really feels it feels stretched, even though

1541
04:07:57.840 --> 04:08:01.479
I'm just sitting in a chair and there's no stretching

1542
04:08:04.200 --> 04:08:07.360
as far as I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost

1543
04:08:07.399 --> 04:08:11.200
as if the muscles are just relaxed so much that

1544
04:08:11.319 --> 04:08:18.399
there is a natural stretch as the tension has reduced

1545
04:08:19.799 --> 04:08:38.440
a lot. And I'm now going to count down from

1546
04:08:39.040 --> 04:08:48.120
ten down to one, and you can continue to feel

1547
04:08:49.879 --> 04:09:22.360
wonderfully relaxed. Ten nine eight, seven six, five four three

1548
04:09:26.440 --> 04:09:47.200
two one relax. So I'm just going to count down

1549
04:09:48.760 --> 04:09:53.440
for five down to one, and as a countdown, if

1550
04:09:53.479 --> 04:09:59.879
you just focus on the numbers, just the numbers count

1551
04:10:00.159 --> 04:10:08.719
and down, and notice how you feel in this moment

1552
04:10:10.479 --> 04:10:14.840
as you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those

1553
04:10:15.000 --> 04:10:28.079
numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer, not just in

1554
04:10:28.159 --> 04:10:36.680
your body, but also relaxing your mind. Just notice how

1555
04:10:36.760 --> 04:10:42.600
you feel. There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say,

1556
04:10:43.280 --> 04:11:00.319
there's nothing to think about. Starting with number five, four

1557
04:11:09.840 --> 04:11:21.079
three two.

1558
04:11:26.920 --> 04:11:27.159
One.

1559
04:11:36.600 --> 04:11:48.440
Now, as you notice the gradual letting go of the

1560
04:11:48.600 --> 04:11:56.200
tension in your body. You may also begin to notice

1561
04:11:56.319 --> 04:12:03.040
and be aware of how your might mind is starting

1562
04:12:03.520 --> 04:12:11.479
to slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1563
04:12:14.079 --> 04:12:19.280
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1564
04:12:19.360 --> 04:12:25.239
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax.

1565
04:12:26.879 --> 04:12:30.520
And the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1566
04:12:30.639 --> 04:12:41.159
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And is that

1567
04:12:42.440 --> 04:12:50.280
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

1568
04:12:50.319 --> 04:12:56.879
if this background sounds either your side or mind, it's

1569
04:12:57.000 --> 04:13:02.920
still going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't

1570
04:13:02.920 --> 04:13:07.879
got the television on, there's no music in the background,

1571
04:13:08.000 --> 04:13:10.639
unless you're listening to the recording with music. Of course,

1572
04:13:15.479 --> 04:13:17.680
you're very likely not going to be sitting in a

1573
04:13:17.799 --> 04:13:20.920
room with other people. Of course you might be, but

1574
04:13:22.200 --> 04:13:25.479
generally it's more ideal if you can do this on

1575
04:13:25.600 --> 04:13:36.920
your own, so no distractions, and when you stop thinking

1576
04:13:36.959 --> 04:13:54.159
about stuff, relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts

1577
04:13:54.200 --> 04:14:02.959
to grow, and without trying to build it up into

1578
04:14:03.079 --> 04:14:15.200
something fantastical or something magical, this is just a natural process,

1579
04:14:17.520 --> 04:14:28.200
something that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1580
04:14:28.360 --> 04:14:35.200
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1581
04:14:35.399 --> 04:14:39.239
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1582
04:14:39.360 --> 04:14:50.959
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

1583
04:14:51.399 --> 04:15:01.600
the process of this recording and others is simply two

1584
04:15:03.200 --> 04:15:13.559
allow you to take advantage of this space this time,

1585
04:15:16.600 --> 04:15:27.479
to just let go, to just be here, to be

1586
04:15:28.159 --> 04:15:41.559
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

1587
04:15:43.799 --> 04:15:55.239
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,

1588
04:15:56.399 --> 04:16:03.399
depending on what it is that you for yourself in

1589
04:16:03.520 --> 04:16:19.680
this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority of

1590
04:16:19.799 --> 04:16:24.399
the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part

1591
04:16:24.639 --> 04:16:32.840
is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed

1592
04:16:33.200 --> 04:16:54.719
you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. But you

1593
04:16:54.799 --> 04:17:01.840
can also if you choose stay focused on my voice

1594
04:17:03.559 --> 04:17:35.040
and really enjoy the process gradually relaxing each muscle in

1595
04:17:35.200 --> 04:18:02.479
your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting

1596
04:18:02.680 --> 04:18:18.280
go completely. This time, I'm going to count from six

1597
04:18:19.319 --> 04:18:31.360
down to one, and you can notice your mind calming

1598
04:18:31.680 --> 04:18:39.040
down more with each number that you hear me say,

1599
04:18:43.760 --> 04:19:47.440
naturally feeling calm and slow and peaceful six five four

1600
04:20:19.520 --> 04:21:54.639
three two one, being aware how your mind to slowe,

1601
04:21:56.719 --> 04:22:23.200
write down, sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus

1602
04:22:23.360 --> 04:22:33.040
on your mind, may notice that there are some thoughts

1603
04:22:33.760 --> 04:22:42.600
still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason

1604
04:22:45.719 --> 04:22:55.520
perhaps need your attention. So what you can do is

1605
04:23:01.079 --> 04:23:13.559
send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love.

1606
04:23:15.319 --> 04:23:21.479
I at petals from a flower, Just sprinkle it over them, petals,

1607
04:23:21.520 --> 04:23:29.280
feel good love towards those thoughts. To let those thoughts mother,

1608
04:23:31.600 --> 04:23:37.040
You're not abandon in them, You just need them. You

1609
04:23:37.200 --> 04:23:48.719
require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet down

1610
04:23:52.639 --> 04:24:04.399
for now. So as you focus on those remaining thoughts,

1611
04:24:05.639 --> 04:24:09.719
as we count down this time from seven down to one.

1612
04:24:11.280 --> 04:24:25.360
With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals love, love, kindness,

1613
04:24:26.959 --> 04:24:38.799
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1614
04:24:40.239 --> 04:24:55.280
melt away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts

1615
04:24:55.399 --> 04:25:12.840
will become more and more relaxed. Starting with number seven

1616
04:25:32.079 --> 04:27:44.879
six five four three one, Let you know, notice how

1617
04:27:46.600 --> 04:28:06.280
relaxed your feeling in your body. We're going to focus

1618
04:28:10.159 --> 04:28:19.840
on your hands, because the more relaxed your hands are,

1619
04:28:22.200 --> 04:28:43.159
the more relaxed. Your body and mind are ours. You

1620
04:28:43.399 --> 04:28:54.159
focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing needed

1621
04:28:54.399 --> 04:28:59.760
to be done. There's no clenching of fists or tent

1622
04:29:00.079 --> 04:29:10.959
sitting the fingers or anything like that. It's just noticing

1623
04:29:11.879 --> 04:29:39.440
and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel. Because

1624
04:29:39.600 --> 04:29:49.520
the more relaxed do your hands feel, the calmer your

1625
04:29:49.760 --> 04:30:01.639
mind feels, and the more comforts you feel throughout your body.

1626
04:30:10.360 --> 04:30:13.079
May have.

1627
04:30:17.120 --> 04:31:00.440
Already noticed you mind is starting Dresti said, lust on

1628
04:31:00.639 --> 04:31:18.000
your hands and fingers, allowing them cheap experience. Are real

1629
04:31:18.639 --> 04:31:32.040
deepening of that relaxation in your hands and fingers, more

1630
04:31:35.280 --> 04:31:54.719
and more relaxed with each number from eight down to one.

1631
04:32:00.200 --> 04:32:11.399
Almost feel the healing and relaxing energy spreading into your

1632
04:32:11.600 --> 04:32:34.360
hands and fingers, becoming more relaxing with each number you hear,

1633
04:32:38.319 --> 04:32:59.159
going down eight down to one, drifting drifting again, starting

1634
04:32:59.440 --> 04:37:01.200
with eighth, seven, six, five, three, just being here now,

1635
04:37:04.880 --> 04:37:10.959
nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,

1636
04:37:15.080 --> 04:37:26.159
and everything just feels calmer. And this is your natural

1637
04:37:26.360 --> 04:37:34.240
state of being. This is how you just normally feel

1638
04:37:35.040 --> 04:37:42.319
when you take away all of that other stuff that

1639
04:37:42.439 --> 04:37:56.319
we add, you know, things like stress and worrying and overthinking, anxiety, tension,

1640
04:38:00.560 --> 04:38:07.479
just generally thinking about stuff. We take that away, which

1641
04:38:07.560 --> 04:38:16.759
is what we do. What we're doing now, you're left

1642
04:38:16.919 --> 04:38:27.799
with a real sense of peacefulness which comes to you

1643
04:38:28.080 --> 04:38:42.000
very quickly because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling

1644
04:38:43.040 --> 04:38:50.240
of comfort. It's almost as if you've gone inside yourself

1645
04:38:50.319 --> 04:39:01.959
and you've found a special place where everything is peaceful,

1646
04:39:04.880 --> 04:39:10.279
the place where you can feel relaxed and your natural

1647
04:39:12.400 --> 04:39:18.759
sense and comfort, the place where you can be you,

1648
04:39:23.479 --> 04:39:30.479
where you can accept yourself for who you are, the

1649
04:39:30.560 --> 04:39:36.959
place where you're not trying to please anybody else, in

1650
04:39:41.080 --> 04:39:49.639
the place where you can actually not just love yourself,

1651
04:39:49.759 --> 04:39:55.240
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself

1652
04:39:57.720 --> 04:40:15.040
appreciate who you are. That sense of gratitude, it's in

1653
04:40:15.159 --> 04:40:26.360
the air around you. That's also a place where you

1654
04:40:28.720 --> 04:40:36.680
can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.

1655
04:40:43.319 --> 04:40:55.639
Healing energy soaking into your body. The healing energy spreads

1656
04:40:56.639 --> 04:41:06.080
through your veins, traveling to each and every single part

1657
04:41:07.799 --> 04:41:16.919
of your body, and you start to realize that actually

1658
04:41:17.720 --> 04:41:23.799
that healing energy it's not just entered into your brain,

1659
04:41:26.639 --> 04:41:36.119
it's become part of your brain, and that spinal fluid

1660
04:41:38.840 --> 04:41:49.560
is now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you

1661
04:41:49.840 --> 04:41:57.840
to feel so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment,

1662
04:42:02.360 --> 04:42:11.759
but also you start to realize that, actually, what's happening

1663
04:42:12.000 --> 04:42:22.639
now without healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body, it's

1664
04:42:22.840 --> 04:42:33.599
actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're

1665
04:42:33.680 --> 04:42:40.119
going to feel, not just now, but tomorrow and the

1666
04:42:40.279 --> 04:42:50.000
next day. As your health improves, not just your physical health,

1667
04:42:50.119 --> 04:42:57.479
but your mental health. Things that used to bother you

1668
04:42:57.680 --> 04:43:04.840
in the past, for some reason, no longer have the

1669
04:43:04.959 --> 04:43:13.880
effect that they used to because something has changed deep

1670
04:43:14.360 --> 04:43:24.959
within you. Maybe things that used to cause you to

1671
04:43:25.159 --> 04:43:37.439
feel anger no longer have that power to control you

1672
04:43:39.959 --> 04:43:46.240
the way they seem to be able to before. As

1673
04:43:46.360 --> 04:43:57.880
you realize that you're the one who decides what affects you,

1674
04:44:01.560 --> 04:44:10.360
you're the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm

1675
04:44:12.000 --> 04:44:27.319
when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of

1676
04:44:27.639 --> 04:44:39.200
healing continuing to grow and improve your life day by day,

1677
04:44:45.119 --> 04:44:53.319
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier

1678
04:44:58.279 --> 04:45:07.880
than sleeping. It's the most natural thing in the world

1679
04:45:09.319 --> 04:45:17.639
to you, because falling asleep is something that you've done

1680
04:45:20.680 --> 04:45:22.319
so many times.

1681
04:45:23.639 --> 04:45:24.319
In your life.

1682
04:45:27.560 --> 04:45:31.599
And you know that you were born, as we all were,

1683
04:45:32.439 --> 04:45:43.720
with the ability to fall asleep naturally. We're born with

1684
04:45:44.279 --> 04:45:56.720
that ability to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep.

1685
04:46:02.680 --> 04:46:07.479
Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep and we

1686
04:46:07.560 --> 04:46:13.759
don't even want to try to us stay awake. Maybe

1687
04:46:13.840 --> 04:46:17.200
it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or

1688
04:46:18.080 --> 04:46:21.119
holiday or something we look forward to. We don't want

1689
04:46:21.159 --> 04:46:25.680
to go to sleep. But the more we want to

1690
04:46:25.720 --> 04:46:35.000
stay awake, the more we just start to drift. And

1691
04:46:35.119 --> 04:46:39.959
the more you fight drifting, we'll try to stop yourself

1692
04:46:40.040 --> 04:46:46.439
and drift in asleep. The deeper and stronger that drifting becomes.

1693
04:46:53.400 --> 04:46:58.680
Because we're born not just with the need to relax

1694
04:46:58.840 --> 04:47:07.200
deeply and to naturally fall asleep, but it's our birthright,

1695
04:47:10.599 --> 04:47:20.959
it's part of our DNA. And sometimes as we get

1696
04:47:21.040 --> 04:47:31.799
older in life, perhaps at times we have forgotten that

1697
04:47:32.080 --> 04:47:48.240
relaxing completely is not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's

1698
04:47:48.319 --> 04:48:06.080
also really easy. It's very, very easy to let go,

1699
04:48:08.159 --> 04:48:17.759
because that's all it is, is just deciding to let go.

1700
04:48:23.000 --> 04:48:28.959
And when you press the play button on my recordings,

1701
04:48:30.840 --> 04:48:38.159
you have given permission for my voice to elect you.

1702
04:48:41.840 --> 04:48:45.400
When you press that play button. You have given me

1703
04:48:45.560 --> 04:48:57.279
permission for my words to effect. You're in a positive,

1704
04:49:00.720 --> 04:49:19.400
only a positive way, opening up your mind to useful

1705
04:49:21.040 --> 04:49:37.439
and healing suggestions that can have such an amazing effect

1706
04:49:40.279 --> 04:49:51.639
on how you feel right now, as well as those

1707
04:49:52.040 --> 04:50:01.560
changes that continue long after the recording ends, those changes

1708
04:50:02.400 --> 04:50:16.159
within you that continue to flourish and grow, transforming your

1709
04:50:16.279 --> 04:50:29.119
life in a positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move

1710
04:50:30.479 --> 04:50:35.759
forward in your life in the direction that you choose

1711
04:50:37.279 --> 04:50:53.439
for yourself. And this feeling, this feeling that you can

1712
04:50:53.599 --> 04:51:18.000
experience of safety, comfort, calmness, just feels so nice. It's

1713
04:51:18.159 --> 04:51:32.360
such a healthy place to be, and that positivity grows

1714
04:51:33.639 --> 04:51:51.200
within you each and every day. Moving forward, you're going

1715
04:51:51.319 --> 04:52:02.080
to find that you're more relaxed physically and in your

1716
04:52:02.200 --> 04:52:12.279
mind is more relaxed. And it's not that you're thinking slower,

1717
04:52:14.520 --> 04:52:18.159
it's just that your mind would be less clogged up

1718
04:52:19.279 --> 04:52:32.560
with unnecessary negativity because from now on, your mind rejects negativity.

1719
04:52:36.599 --> 04:52:44.040
From now on, you're going to start noticing when negativity

1720
04:52:44.159 --> 04:52:58.599
arises and you can just say stop, stop and that

1721
04:52:58.840 --> 04:53:17.799
negativity or turn around and leave you alone. Stop and

1722
04:53:17.919 --> 04:53:33.080
then negativity would disappear. And as you notice that you

1723
04:53:34.439 --> 04:53:47.680
feel way more relaxed than you probably expected. You can

1724
04:53:48.000 --> 04:53:57.080
now congratulate yourself because you are the person that has

1725
04:53:57.240 --> 04:54:03.439
done this. You are the one that has opened your

1726
04:54:03.599 --> 04:54:12.840
mind up to the simple facts. You can feel more

1727
04:54:12.919 --> 04:54:23.000
relaxed in your body and in your mind. You've opened

1728
04:54:23.159 --> 04:54:28.560
your mind up to the birthright of being able to

1729
04:54:28.880 --> 04:54:45.439
just fall asleep easily when you choose. And that's a

1730
04:54:45.639 --> 04:54:52.639
nice feeling. Don't you think it feels nice? Doesn't it?

1731
04:54:55.759 --> 04:55:02.799
To feel calm, That healing energy is spreading through your

1732
04:55:02.880 --> 04:55:15.599
body and your mind to spend time and a special

1733
04:55:15.759 --> 04:55:31.639
place where negativity can no longer enter. Negativity is banned.

1734
04:55:32.680 --> 04:55:40.119
It's bad, it's not allowed entry. Doesn't it doesn't. This

1735
04:55:40.680 --> 04:55:48.919
doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't belong here. Negativity has

1736
04:55:49.159 --> 04:56:04.680
no place in your life, Which makes room feel more comfort,

1737
04:56:06.599 --> 04:56:35.200
more healing, more relaxation, more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it?

1738
04:56:37.040 --> 04:57:00.840
Just let go of everything. I'm gonna count down now

1739
04:57:01.159 --> 04:57:09.360
from twenty down to one. You can continue to relax.

1740
04:57:11.560 --> 04:57:23.080
If you choose, you can drift to sleep with every

1741
04:57:23.279 --> 04:57:34.919
number hear me say, you can fill twice as relaxed,

1742
04:57:37.959 --> 04:57:49.200
or if you choose, you can feel twice sleeping now

1743
04:57:54.639 --> 04:59:54.720
twenty nineteen, eighteen, seven teen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen to eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six.

1744
05:00:02.840 --> 05:00:03.119
Five.

1745
05:00:10.040 --> 05:00:48.720
Oh oh, this is your time to just take a break,

1746
05:00:53.319 --> 05:01:04.400
your time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,

1747
05:01:13.080 --> 05:01:32.040
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything. En,

1748
05:01:32.119 --> 05:01:39.400
you're the only person that can make that decision. You're

1749
05:01:39.400 --> 05:01:46.759
the only person that can actually tell your mind to

1750
05:01:47.119 --> 05:02:11.200
just relax, to just take some time off so that

1751
05:02:11.360 --> 05:02:16.360
you can focus on your body, getting in touch with

1752
05:02:17.520 --> 05:02:33.840
how you feel physically, and in the process of this

1753
05:02:34.200 --> 05:02:39.080
body scan, where you focus on different parts of your body,

1754
05:02:45.520 --> 05:02:52.919
those parts that you focus on and observe. Even though

1755
05:02:53.119 --> 05:03:02.240
you're not purposely requesting as parts of your body to relax,

1756
05:03:04.439 --> 05:03:10.799
it's kind of expected. You expect when you listen to

1757
05:03:10.959 --> 05:03:23.639
my voice to feel more relaxed naturally, because when you're

1758
05:03:23.720 --> 05:03:33.919
listening to me, your attention is focused on my words,

1759
05:03:38.880 --> 05:03:49.759
and as my words guide you to focus on those

1760
05:03:50.000 --> 05:04:08.119
parts of your body, your focus increases, which actually calms

1761
05:04:08.319 --> 05:04:28.400
your mind. And when your mind calms down, your body relaxes.

1762
05:04:35.919 --> 05:04:57.840
And when your body calms down, your mind relaxes. And

1763
05:04:58.080 --> 05:05:06.040
then do I've not really started to focus on your body.

1764
05:05:09.000 --> 05:05:20.040
You can already feel that healing energy spreading through your body,

1765
05:05:24.959 --> 05:05:39.240
pushing out stress and tension, healing all the parts of

1766
05:05:39.360 --> 05:05:49.119
your body, including your skin, your bones, your blood, all

1767
05:05:49.200 --> 05:05:53.720
of your walkings inside your body, all of the muscles,

1768
05:05:55.119 --> 05:06:02.200
all of the fat, all of everything, every hair on

1769
05:06:02.360 --> 05:06:07.439
your body is filled with that healing energy.

1770
05:06:15.439 --> 05:06:16.159
And when your.

1771
05:06:16.119 --> 05:06:35.319
Brain fills without healing energy, the feeling of comfort relaxation

1772
05:06:39.200 --> 05:07:04.720
increases deeply, increases in a way that your mind starts

1773
05:07:05.000 --> 05:07:21.159
to feel perhaps bit drowsing because it's not needed, and

1774
05:07:21.319 --> 05:07:40.560
it may start to drift if that's what's needed. So

1775
05:07:40.639 --> 05:07:45.439
if you're listening to this and what you need is

1776
05:07:45.639 --> 05:07:51.720
deep relaxation, that's what you get. If what you need

1777
05:07:52.040 --> 05:08:00.799
is to fall asleep naturally easily, that's your mind to drifts.

1778
05:08:03.319 --> 05:08:17.080
That's also what will happen. Because by pressing a play

1779
05:08:17.159 --> 05:08:23.479
button on the podcast and listening to me give permission

1780
05:08:25.479 --> 05:08:36.080
your body and your mind. In fact, you give the

1781
05:08:36.200 --> 05:08:45.119
command to your body and your mind to relax deeply

1782
05:08:49.080 --> 05:08:53.880
and to drift off to sleep. If that's what you

1783
05:08:54.759 --> 05:09:10.279
want or need. Then as I focus on the different

1784
05:09:10.439 --> 05:09:21.240
parts of your body, you may start to just drift,

1785
05:09:25.360 --> 05:09:29.240
and then you come back again, and you hear me talking,

1786
05:09:29.599 --> 05:09:33.759
and I'm focusing on a different part of your body.

1787
05:09:39.560 --> 05:09:48.959
You may find yourself drifting, being to realize you're drifting.

1788
05:09:50.720 --> 05:09:57.599
Until you stop drifting, you're alert again to my voice,

1789
05:09:59.040 --> 05:10:04.880
focusing on a different part of your body, starts to

1790
05:10:05.080 --> 05:10:15.919
relax in deeper because that drifting, it's basically here already

1791
05:10:18.240 --> 05:10:28.000
in the sleep zone. And the more you drift that

1792
05:10:28.159 --> 05:10:37.959
the longer you drift, the longer you drift. Eventually, that

1793
05:10:38.200 --> 05:10:48.400
drifting continues into sleep, and that's the last you remember

1794
05:10:50.439 --> 05:10:58.639
until you wake up in your own time. When you

1795
05:10:58.959 --> 05:11:07.400
experience the right amount of sleep, fear because when you

1796
05:11:07.639 --> 05:11:16.759
do and if you do fall asleep, it's extremely pleasant,

1797
05:11:19.520 --> 05:11:40.840
so relaxing, so deep healing sleep. I feel so nice

1798
05:11:43.040 --> 05:11:52.919
to relax things your own body and mind. If you

1799
05:11:53.159 --> 05:12:00.840
feel that hearing image is spreading through your vacci is

1800
05:12:01.119 --> 05:12:25.520
so deeply axes so deep. By start to focus on

1801
05:12:25.720 --> 05:12:48.400
your eyes, moving down to your jaw, down to your neck,

1802
05:12:55.880 --> 05:14:18.119
your shoulders, ass, chest, stuck, spine, lips, your legs, your face,

1803
05:14:26.959 --> 05:14:58.680
your choices have feedings spreading gray inside your body, feeding

1804
05:14:58.880 --> 05:15:13.319
you up. Now, let's focus again on parts of your body. Kay,

1805
05:15:15.200 --> 05:15:25.040
focusing this time on your forehead. Now on your mouth,

1806
05:15:26.279 --> 05:15:46.560
your lips, your tongue, a whole of your mouth. Focusing

1807
05:15:47.959 --> 05:15:57.880
on your fingers. Maybe you could move your fingers a

1808
05:15:57.919 --> 05:16:02.959
little bit as you can focus on each one individually,

1809
05:16:09.200 --> 05:16:16.400
both hands, and even though if you focus on both

1810
05:16:16.439 --> 05:16:21.919
of your hands now they almost seem to just melt

1811
05:16:22.000 --> 05:16:31.680
into one. Where is your right hand starting left hand,

1812
05:16:31.799 --> 05:16:47.040
and almost as if just mixed together. Now focusing on

1813
05:16:47.119 --> 05:17:14.520
your knees, just noticing how your knees filled now, like

1814
05:17:14.759 --> 05:17:21.639
I said, when you're olpers, like I said, by few opers,

1815
05:17:27.959 --> 05:18:01.119
just obside the faith of your alpens, like you said,

1816
05:18:02.560 --> 05:18:21.720
I'm sorry to back your neck ener change back back

1817
05:18:53.159 --> 05:20:16.479
upsidy ankles. It's a call of sensations, acus, I just said.

1818
05:20:18.840 --> 05:20:37.360
Now you tis what if you faint being aware how

1819
05:20:39.680 --> 05:21:31.520
you ties feel right now, note sin, how you entire

1820
05:21:32.880 --> 05:22:19.880
body feels. Noticing how your mind feels. Now, letting go,

1821
05:22:28.639 --> 05:23:01.599
lett him go, letting go everything, letting go, letting go,

1822
05:23:09.439 --> 05:23:37.000
leting go everything everything. I'm going to start now, and

1823
05:23:37.319 --> 05:23:39.439
i'd like you just, first of all, just to see

1824
05:23:39.520 --> 05:23:47.720
yourself lying down on that message table, lying on your front,

1825
05:23:48.959 --> 05:23:56.919
your head is supported, your arms are supported. Then you

1826
05:23:57.000 --> 05:24:03.680
feel comfortable and breathing this really easy, and you feel

1827
05:24:07.159 --> 05:24:10.159
you feel confident in how you look as well. So

1828
05:24:10.599 --> 05:24:14.720
there's none of that issue of body problems or shyness

1829
05:24:15.639 --> 05:24:23.759
because I'm a professional and this is a therapy session,

1830
05:24:24.599 --> 05:24:31.959
so none of that stuff matters on whatsoever. This is

1831
05:24:32.040 --> 05:24:39.319
about you. This is about how you feel and how

1832
05:24:40.159 --> 05:24:47.360
you can enjoy that sense of comfort and relaxation that

1833
05:24:47.520 --> 05:24:54.720
comes from letting go and allowing my hands my fingers

1834
05:24:55.240 --> 05:25:06.599
to relax you by a messaging your body. So I

1835
05:25:06.680 --> 05:25:11.680
want to start off just by placing my hands on

1836
05:25:11.799 --> 05:25:16.080
the back of your head, just gently, just so you

1837
05:25:16.200 --> 05:25:25.200
can feel my hands feel like really on you. So

1838
05:25:25.360 --> 05:25:27.599
you can maybe feel the warmth of my hands on

1839
05:25:27.680 --> 05:25:33.119
the back of your head. With my hands to the

1840
05:25:33.240 --> 05:25:37.279
side of your head, not pressing, but just holding the

1841
05:25:37.560 --> 05:25:43.400
very gently, maybe over your ears, and a little bit

1842
05:25:43.479 --> 05:25:48.080
on your face, just so you can feel my hands

1843
05:25:50.159 --> 05:26:02.759
so you can become accustomed to them. And now I

1844
05:26:03.000 --> 05:26:05.119
put my hands on the back of your head again

1845
05:26:05.599 --> 05:26:12.360
and gently let them slide down onto the back of

1846
05:26:12.439 --> 05:26:29.959
your neck. You can feel my hands gently stroking the

1847
05:26:30.080 --> 05:26:36.560
back of your neck to start with, just so you

1848
05:26:36.639 --> 05:26:41.040
can get used to the feeling of my hands on

1849
05:26:41.159 --> 05:26:50.119
your skin, get accustomed to realize that you're safe and

1850
05:26:50.119 --> 05:26:58.880
it's all good, it's all fine, and I'm want to

1851
05:26:58.959 --> 05:27:03.240
start gently massaging the muscles in the back of your

1852
05:27:03.319 --> 05:27:19.560
neck with both hands. And this is a very trusting

1853
05:27:21.840 --> 05:27:27.319
situation really, because our necks are so fragile and to

1854
05:27:27.439 --> 05:27:31.560
have someone have their hands around your neck in that

1855
05:27:31.720 --> 05:27:37.000
way can sometimes be problematic for people, which is why

1856
05:27:37.159 --> 05:27:41.840
messages are quite good, because it allows you to relax

1857
05:27:43.240 --> 05:27:57.560
and get in touch with trust, to feel peaceful and calm.

1858
05:28:05.840 --> 05:28:13.240
There's a massage the sides of your neck, gently moving

1859
05:28:13.479 --> 05:28:18.560
from the bottom of your neck. It would be sort

1860
05:28:18.560 --> 05:28:21.720
of near where your shoulders start, I guess, all the

1861
05:28:21.799 --> 05:28:28.439
way up to your jaw, your ears, kind of area

1862
05:28:29.200 --> 05:28:34.000
the side of your neck. Of course, it's a lot

1863
05:28:34.119 --> 05:28:50.799
longer than the front of your neck. And massaging the

1864
05:28:50.919 --> 05:28:58.639
back of your neck, especially that area where perhaps we

1865
05:28:58.840 --> 05:29:06.880
hold tension and as that area's message, you can actually

1866
05:29:07.040 --> 05:29:10.840
feel a sense of release in the back of your

1867
05:29:10.919 --> 05:29:19.000
neck and maybe you can breathe it out as well.

1868
05:29:21.560 --> 05:29:34.360
Notice how it feels, Notice how you feel. And they're

1869
05:29:34.439 --> 05:29:38.560
moving down to that area between your neck and your shoulders,

1870
05:29:40.080 --> 05:29:49.000
that musty area. Starting to message that area on both sides.

1871
05:29:51.159 --> 05:29:53.400
I mean, this would be the area that a lot

1872
05:29:53.439 --> 05:29:55.599
of people would message if they were going to give

1873
05:29:55.639 --> 05:30:02.080
you like a shoulder message even that not technically the shoulders,

1874
05:30:02.639 --> 05:30:05.080
but it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders

1875
05:30:06.919 --> 05:30:13.520
from the neck and again that can hold tension and stress.

1876
05:30:14.720 --> 05:30:19.759
And when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful.

1877
05:30:22.840 --> 05:30:38.240
And you decide how deep that message is, and just

1878
05:30:38.439 --> 05:30:45.360
allow my knuckles just to dig in to get to

1879
05:30:45.520 --> 05:30:54.919
those muscles and to ready relaxed and all the time

1880
05:30:55.279 --> 05:31:13.119
being firm yet gentle with you and just stroking down

1881
05:31:13.279 --> 05:31:21.959
the area to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles

1882
05:31:22.000 --> 05:31:32.639
of your shoulders, and maybe initially just pulling up the

1883
05:31:32.759 --> 05:31:36.520
shoulders a little bit off the table, just to give

1884
05:31:36.560 --> 05:31:47.080
you a little bit of a stretch very gently. And

1885
05:31:47.200 --> 05:31:49.720
you've got the muscles at the front of your shoulders,

1886
05:31:50.479 --> 05:32:01.080
the side and the back a game. This is a

1887
05:32:01.200 --> 05:32:05.360
part that can really take quite a bit of pressure,

1888
05:32:06.759 --> 05:32:14.560
quite a bit of needing if if you wish to

1889
05:32:14.799 --> 05:32:22.240
really release the tension to really get into those muscles,

1890
05:32:22.360 --> 05:32:28.720
and you can let your fingers in there and they

1891
05:32:28.720 --> 05:32:34.680
can feel really nice. Sometimes it's just being stroked gently

1892
05:32:35.680 --> 05:32:46.479
or being massaged quite strongly, can all be beneficial to

1893
05:32:46.599 --> 05:33:05.000
the relaxation of the muscles in your shoulders. Now you

1894
05:33:05.200 --> 05:33:14.840
move down your arms. We do one arm at a time,

1895
05:33:15.799 --> 05:33:24.880
starting with your right arm. What I'll do is I

1896
05:33:25.119 --> 05:33:29.279
just lift your arm up, just hold it to the

1897
05:33:29.439 --> 05:33:36.799
side of you. Do words still be attached, and I

1898
05:33:37.000 --> 05:33:51.599
just message the tops of your arms all the way

1899
05:33:51.680 --> 05:34:16.680
down to your forearms into your wrists, gently messaging that parts,

1900
05:34:19.159 --> 05:34:22.840
the softer part, which is the under part of the arm,

1901
05:34:25.919 --> 05:34:29.639
which leads to the crease in your elbow. The inside

1902
05:34:31.080 --> 05:34:45.439
it's much more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked

1903
05:34:48.520 --> 05:35:04.200
can feel really nice, pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down

1904
05:35:05.599 --> 05:35:18.000
to your right hand, just holding your hand in both

1905
05:35:18.040 --> 05:35:27.639
of my hands, just pressing gently on the back of

1906
05:35:27.720 --> 05:35:38.680
your hand, stretching your fingers ever so lightly at the

1907
05:35:38.799 --> 05:35:53.759
same time pressing down and messaging each finger, and then

1908
05:35:53.959 --> 05:36:04.919
starting to massage the palms of their hand. Just turning

1909
05:36:05.040 --> 05:36:16.240
the hand, stretching it gently and actually having your hand

1910
05:36:16.400 --> 05:36:24.479
held can really be an emotional experience. Sometimes, even if

1911
05:36:24.520 --> 05:36:29.360
it is a stranger, someone you don't know very well,

1912
05:36:30.400 --> 05:36:37.479
like a massage person or a therapist. Maybe because it's intimate.

1913
05:36:45.200 --> 05:36:58.040
You can feel nice, you can feel safe. And as

1914
05:36:58.080 --> 05:37:01.040
I put that right arm back down where it was,

1915
05:37:06.680 --> 05:37:12.919
we're gonna do the same with your left arm, exactly

1916
05:37:13.119 --> 05:37:22.759
the same, massaging the muscles in your arm all the

1917
05:37:22.840 --> 05:37:31.319
way down. Do you arrest, stroking the inside of your arm,

1918
05:37:36.840 --> 05:37:50.319
just being gentle or as firm as you require, and

1919
05:37:50.439 --> 05:38:03.560
then massaging your left hand straight in the fingers gently,

1920
05:38:06.080 --> 05:38:22.479
massage in the palm of your left hand. You feel

1921
05:38:22.919 --> 05:38:50.720
so so relaxing, so comforting, and I just rest your

1922
05:38:50.840 --> 05:39:03.000
left arm back down the stop. A message your back,

1923
05:39:04.759 --> 05:39:12.759
the biggest part of your body, starting at the top,

1924
05:39:15.959 --> 05:39:19.919
starting again where you already have been, the area at

1925
05:39:19.959 --> 05:39:26.759
the top in between your shoulders, near your neck. Going back,

1926
05:39:27.680 --> 05:39:32.880
message in the area again, but this time moving downwards,

1927
05:39:39.400 --> 05:39:45.119
taking it downward. Stroke to the middle of a back,

1928
05:39:47.560 --> 05:39:55.880
working from the outside inwards, massage in that your back,

1929
05:39:56.040 --> 05:40:07.919
but the outside of your back, the parts where your

1930
05:40:08.119 --> 05:40:21.240
arms would maybe rest against, almost the part that connects

1931
05:40:21.439 --> 05:40:38.599
your front to your back. Just messaging down firmly but gently,

1932
05:40:39.759 --> 05:40:47.599
as firm as you want, moving down, and then moving

1933
05:40:47.639 --> 05:40:50.279
across a little bed, moving all the way down again,

1934
05:40:51.680 --> 05:41:04.479
be very gentle yet firm as you choose. Eventually we

1935
05:41:04.599 --> 05:41:09.200
get to the spine. We can message the muscles and

1936
05:41:09.560 --> 05:41:13.040
either side of your spine from the top of your

1937
05:41:13.159 --> 05:41:25.080
neck all the way down to your lower back. We

1938
05:41:25.159 --> 05:41:31.360
can do that a few times. Sometimes people would use

1939
05:41:34.240 --> 05:41:40.400
the knuckle or the two fingers and just go either

1940
05:41:40.520 --> 05:41:45.799
side of the spine, almost just push down, go all

1941
05:41:45.840 --> 05:41:49.599
the way down to the bottom of the spine, each

1942
05:41:49.840 --> 05:42:00.360
time releasing tension and opening up the body, stretching your

1943
05:42:00.439 --> 05:42:07.240
body so that you feel more relaxed but at the

1944
05:42:07.360 --> 05:42:23.680
same time rejuvenated. And now I'm going to move to

1945
05:42:23.799 --> 05:42:32.360
one side, to your right side, and from the bottom

1946
05:42:32.400 --> 05:42:38.119
of your ribs to your pelvis, I'm going to massage

1947
05:42:39.200 --> 05:42:44.520
that area of your back. I'll stretch over the other

1948
05:42:44.680 --> 05:42:49.959
side and I will pull the muscles gently and massage

1949
05:42:50.119 --> 05:42:54.400
and push from one end that side all the way

1950
05:42:54.439 --> 05:42:59.400
to my side in the middle of fact to where

1951
05:42:59.439 --> 05:43:06.119
your spine is massaging that side of your spine the

1952
05:43:06.200 --> 05:43:12.400
opposite side to where I'm standing. It's almost like kneading bread.

1953
05:43:14.840 --> 05:43:21.159
There's that big area which is firm yet lots there

1954
05:43:21.439 --> 05:43:30.919
to message. Potentially one of the most important places to

1955
05:43:31.040 --> 05:43:38.560
actually have a message, because you really feel it. You

1956
05:43:38.799 --> 05:43:43.759
really feel the release and the pleasure of having your

1957
05:43:43.840 --> 05:43:51.479
lower back massaged. It releases so much from your body

1958
05:43:53.000 --> 05:44:01.880
that's not useful, starting a healing process which will continue

1959
05:44:02.080 --> 05:44:14.479
long after this recording is over. The message in this

1960
05:44:14.639 --> 05:44:18.560
part of your body not only feels really good for you,

1961
05:44:20.000 --> 05:44:24.479
it's actually fun to do because it is, as I said,

1962
05:44:24.639 --> 05:44:29.720
like kneading bread, it's a part that you can really

1963
05:44:29.880 --> 05:44:37.639
get hold of and really massage deeply. If that's your choice,

1964
05:44:45.639 --> 05:44:47.520
then I'm going to move over to the other side

1965
05:44:47.560 --> 05:44:54.040
of your body and do the same with the opposite

1966
05:44:54.159 --> 05:45:03.479
part of your lower back. Kneeding and messaging from your

1967
05:45:03.639 --> 05:45:10.279
sides or a way to the middle of your back

1968
05:45:10.919 --> 05:45:24.479
where your spine is pressing and kneading firm and gentle

1969
05:45:24.639 --> 05:45:34.479
at the same time. It feels so releasing. This mixture

1970
05:45:34.560 --> 05:45:49.919
of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation or mixed together. Plus

1971
05:45:50.040 --> 05:45:54.439
there's that feeling from your stomach as it's being stretched.

1972
05:45:56.319 --> 05:45:59.479
Even though you're in your stomach now, you can feel

1973
05:45:59.520 --> 05:46:03.319
it being stretched because that whole area is connected to

1974
05:46:03.439 --> 05:46:14.759
your stomach. Now we're going to move or move further

1975
05:46:14.959 --> 05:46:19.919
up to your top of your body, and we did

1976
05:46:19.959 --> 05:46:28.599
the same this time, starting with your upper back, put

1977
05:46:28.720 --> 05:46:34.240
my hands forward over and MESSI massage in that area

1978
05:46:37.200 --> 05:46:40.919
up to your spine, from the side of your body

1979
05:46:41.159 --> 05:46:45.840
up to your spine to some of that message area,

1980
05:46:46.560 --> 05:46:52.520
the muscle tissue or whatever fatty tissue even will be

1981
05:46:52.799 --> 05:46:57.799
possibly from your chest because it's all connected. The chest

1982
05:46:58.040 --> 05:47:04.560
and the back connect together. I'm going to be massaging

1983
05:47:04.680 --> 05:47:09.360
and just pulling some of that skin from your side

1984
05:47:09.959 --> 05:47:20.400
up and massaging the area of your upper back all

1985
05:47:20.400 --> 05:47:27.040
the way to your spine. And then I'll move down

1986
05:47:27.080 --> 05:47:29.799
a bit and I'll continue with the middle of your

1987
05:47:29.840 --> 05:47:39.279
back doing exactly the same thing as gentle, as deep

1988
05:47:39.360 --> 05:47:50.799
as you choes. Now, I'll move or the other side

1989
05:47:50.840 --> 05:47:55.680
again and do the exact same thing with the top

1990
05:47:55.759 --> 05:48:05.080
of your back on the other side, from pretty much

1991
05:48:05.240 --> 05:48:18.639
underneath your arm area really to your spine, and then

1992
05:48:18.759 --> 05:48:26.040
continuing that all the way down, including your lower your

1993
05:48:26.279 --> 05:48:43.400
middle of your back. I'm gonna go to your thighs,

1994
05:48:44.720 --> 05:48:50.159
the backs of your thighs, and the sides of your thighs,

1995
05:48:54.400 --> 05:49:03.360
starting with your right leg. Massage in the back and

1996
05:49:03.520 --> 05:49:12.040
the sides of your thighs gently and firmly. There's a

1997
05:49:12.159 --> 05:49:15.520
lot of muscles there. It's an area that can be

1998
05:49:15.720 --> 05:49:19.959
very tense at times and maybe needs a little bit

1999
05:49:20.040 --> 05:49:23.639
more pressure than the rest of the body that's up

2000
05:49:23.759 --> 05:49:33.880
to you. You can gently stroke the back of your

2001
05:49:34.000 --> 05:49:39.919
legs where you know, opposite your knee joint or underneath

2002
05:49:39.959 --> 05:49:52.919
your knee joint, very sensitive, gentle area, and then working

2003
05:49:53.080 --> 05:50:00.520
down to your calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles

2004
05:50:01.400 --> 05:50:14.720
thoroughly and deeply, if you choose, using both hands fingers

2005
05:50:15.240 --> 05:50:28.520
digging deep to your ankles. In the back of your

2006
05:50:29.479 --> 05:50:35.479
back of your ankles, just gently message in that area,

2007
05:50:40.959 --> 05:50:47.119
maybe lifting the leg and stretching it a little bit.

2008
05:50:57.279 --> 05:51:12.319
Moving to the right ef foot massage in the bottom

2009
05:51:12.400 --> 05:51:26.560
of your feet and the side of your feet gently

2010
05:51:26.840 --> 05:51:36.080
but firm enough so they don't tickle, and just allow

2011
05:51:38.680 --> 05:51:42.000
the pleasure that you get from heaving your feet massaged

2012
05:51:44.720 --> 05:51:51.560
to just overtake you as I continue to message your feet,

2013
05:51:54.000 --> 05:52:01.959
the bottoms of your feet, the sides, your arches, your heel.

2014
05:52:04.400 --> 05:52:06.639
You can put a lot of pressure into your heel

2015
05:52:07.439 --> 05:52:12.400
and it feels amazing, Yet the arches need to be

2016
05:52:12.520 --> 05:52:24.200
a bit more gentle. Stretching your toes gently and message

2017
05:52:24.319 --> 05:52:30.319
in the bottoms of your toes with my fingers each

2018
05:52:30.439 --> 05:52:44.080
one individually, moving over to the left leg to do

2019
05:52:44.279 --> 05:52:53.000
exactly the same thing. Starting at the top of the thighs,

2020
05:52:55.240 --> 05:52:57.720
work in the back of the thighs and the sides,

2021
05:52:59.400 --> 05:53:09.799
massage deeply and gently the whole area, working all the

2022
05:53:09.880 --> 05:53:22.680
way down. And this is an area that maybe you

2023
05:53:22.759 --> 05:53:31.119
could like to spend more time relaxing and massaging. Perhaps

2024
05:53:32.040 --> 05:53:36.560
if you wanted, I could make a future recording. I

2025
05:53:36.599 --> 05:53:45.319
want to spend more time on one particular area. As

2026
05:53:45.360 --> 05:53:57.479
you move down to your calf muscles, massagy and your

2027
05:53:57.639 --> 05:54:13.159
calf muscles family and gently move down your ankle into

2028
05:54:13.240 --> 05:54:20.840
your feet. Massage in the backs of your feet, the

2029
05:54:21.000 --> 05:54:30.200
bottoms of your feet, stretching your toes and message in

2030
05:54:30.279 --> 05:54:38.240
each toe individually. And that feeling of pleasure and release.

2031
05:54:38.520 --> 05:54:45.240
The experience when you're having your feet and massaged feels

2032
05:54:45.759 --> 05:55:03.799
really good. Now as she turn over in your mind,

2033
05:55:05.159 --> 05:55:18.479
laying on your back's going to start again at your

2034
05:55:18.639 --> 05:55:33.279
neck area in your shoulders, just to get back in

2035
05:55:33.479 --> 05:55:50.799
touch with that area. Unless you move up, I can

2036
05:55:50.919 --> 05:55:55.680
clean my hands, make them more fresh. Because now I'm

2037
05:55:55.720 --> 05:56:05.439
going to message your face simply starting off with your forehead.

2038
05:56:12.240 --> 05:56:18.439
Your eyes are closed, I can just stretch your eyes

2039
05:56:18.720 --> 05:56:30.000
a little bit, pushing up on your eyebrows, just massaging

2040
05:56:30.200 --> 05:56:42.479
around your scalp, massaging down your cheeks, around your ears,

2041
05:56:45.639 --> 05:56:58.840
into your chaw shiply the side of your neck, your chin.

2042
05:57:10.159 --> 05:57:17.840
They're just moving down from your neck down to your chest,

2043
05:57:21.639 --> 05:57:25.240
starting him by message in the very top of your

2044
05:57:25.360 --> 05:57:33.840
chest where the collar bone is. Give a side of

2045
05:57:33.919 --> 05:57:45.759
the collarbone, and then just message in the hole of

2046
05:57:45.880 --> 05:58:06.680
the chest, moving the chest around, because it's quite a

2047
05:58:06.880 --> 05:58:12.159
large area, you can move from one side to the next,

2048
05:58:16.680 --> 05:58:23.080
moving my hands underneath pretty much where your arms are

2049
05:58:27.479 --> 05:58:32.720
stretching up, stretching some of the muscles of your back

2050
05:58:32.799 --> 05:58:46.479
in the process, moving up over your chest, and they're

2051
05:58:46.520 --> 05:59:03.599
moving down again. Then allowing my hands to just massage

2052
05:59:03.720 --> 05:59:11.319
gently and slide down towards your stomach, starting in the

2053
05:59:11.400 --> 05:59:18.279
middle of your chest, and then gradually my hands moving

2054
05:59:18.319 --> 05:59:27.639
apart and massaging and sliding at the same time, moving

2055
05:59:27.759 --> 05:59:46.240
down to just below your red cage, moving down and

2056
05:59:46.360 --> 05:59:54.000
then messaging up again, giving your chest all the attention

2057
05:59:55.840 --> 06:00:10.119
that it needs to feel completely relaxed. Remembering that I'm

2058
06:00:10.159 --> 06:00:14.119
also going to be focusing on your sides as well,

2059
06:00:15.720 --> 06:00:21.880
an area that really doesn't get much attention. That feels

2060
06:00:22.000 --> 06:00:32.360
really good when it's massaged, just stroking my hands down

2061
06:00:32.520 --> 06:00:39.680
the sides of your body, just below your arms all

2062
06:00:39.680 --> 06:00:52.240
the way down to your hips. Now move into your

2063
06:00:52.319 --> 06:00:57.599
stomach area. I'm going to stand on one side of

2064
06:00:57.720 --> 06:01:02.919
you like I did when I did your law. I'm

2065
06:01:02.959 --> 06:01:08.439
gonna do a similar process of just stretching the muscles

2066
06:01:08.479 --> 06:01:22.159
from your side, gently massaging from one side to the next,

2067
06:01:24.439 --> 06:01:31.400
moving the whole area from below your ribs all the

2068
06:01:31.479 --> 06:01:42.200
way down to below your belly button. I'm gonna move

2069
06:01:42.279 --> 06:01:45.319
around to the other side of you and repeat that

2070
06:01:51.959 --> 06:02:05.959
process of relaxing, deeply, calmly. You feel loose, You feel free.

2071
06:02:08.360 --> 06:02:13.040
And it's something about having your stomach message that's different

2072
06:02:13.119 --> 06:02:19.919
from any other part because we do have a tendency

2073
06:02:20.560 --> 06:02:24.520
of holding a different kind of stress in our stomachs

2074
06:02:25.880 --> 06:02:33.680
that we may not be aware of. There's an ow

2075
06:02:33.880 --> 06:02:41.159
message your stomach, the front of your stomach. They can

2076
06:02:41.479 --> 06:02:52.080
circles around your belly button and then going the other

2077
06:02:52.159 --> 06:03:05.080
way around. Toness and a freedom that comes from feeling

2078
06:03:05.720 --> 06:03:16.040
how you're feeling. As I now move down the tops

2079
06:03:16.080 --> 06:03:23.000
of your thighs muscles massaging them, and I can do

2080
06:03:23.240 --> 06:03:28.919
this to your legs at the same time pressing down,

2081
06:03:31.759 --> 06:03:37.919
massaging deeply those muscles in your thighs, the front of

2082
06:03:38.000 --> 06:03:49.000
your thighs, and moving down to your knees, gently massaging

2083
06:03:49.080 --> 06:04:00.360
your knees, sliding down your shins, putting pressure on either

2084
06:04:00.520 --> 06:04:12.639
side of your shin gently softly but firmly, moving down

2085
06:04:13.040 --> 06:04:27.720
to your ankles, stroking the tops of your feet, and

2086
06:04:27.919 --> 06:04:34.000
then with each foot in each hand, just gently messaging

2087
06:04:34.799 --> 06:04:41.639
the whole of the foot, the top of the bottom,

2088
06:04:42.400 --> 06:04:50.680
your heel, your ankle, your toes, messaging every part of

2089
06:04:50.799 --> 06:05:00.560
your feet. Feels so good, just to let go and

2090
06:05:00.840 --> 06:05:24.880
enjoy the process, Enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed, so much

2091
06:05:25.119 --> 06:05:32.880
comfort and so many feelings become just from touching your skin.

2092
06:05:43.599 --> 06:05:49.560
And you can just lie there for as long as

2093
06:05:49.639 --> 06:06:02.159
you choose, enjoying the feeling of deep comfort from being

2094
06:06:02.360 --> 06:06:34.119
massaged by me. Enjoy fear deepay rased. And all we're

2095
06:06:34.119 --> 06:06:43.319
gonna do is blow out some candles. In your mind,

2096
06:06:54.880 --> 06:07:05.400
there're gonna be a hundred candles, and you're going to

2097
06:07:05.439 --> 06:07:15.680
blow each one out individually, one by one, starting at

2098
06:07:15.720 --> 06:07:24.279
one hundred. As I count down all the way down

2099
06:07:24.360 --> 06:07:37.200
to one, and each time I say the number, you

2100
06:07:37.319 --> 06:07:44.279
can imagine that candle in front of you, and I'd

2101
06:07:44.439 --> 06:07:53.840
like you to actually physically generally blow that candle out,

2102
06:08:00.200 --> 06:08:12.360
just so it's not big blows, just a gentle, and

2103
06:08:12.560 --> 06:08:22.520
that candle will extinguish. And then I'll say the next number,

2104
06:08:24.159 --> 06:08:33.159
so we move down, then you can just blow that

2105
06:08:33.279 --> 06:08:43.240
one out as well. And as we move down the numbers,

2106
06:08:47.840 --> 06:08:56.400
you'll find yourself feeding more and more relaxed, and if

2107
06:08:56.439 --> 06:09:05.799
you need to sleep, also find yourself becoming incredibly tired

2108
06:09:07.040 --> 06:09:18.319
and sleepy. In fact, you may struggle to blow out

2109
06:09:18.479 --> 06:09:35.400
all one hundred of these candles as you feel more

2110
06:09:35.520 --> 06:10:03.159
and more deeply relaxed, more and more deeply tired, And

2111
06:10:03.159 --> 06:10:13.319
the further you go down, the more your mind starts

2112
06:10:13.799 --> 06:10:25.319
to drift. You may find that you stop listening to

2113
06:10:25.520 --> 06:10:38.000
me after a while. And even though there may be

2114
06:10:38.959 --> 06:10:46.959
background sounds where you are, you'll be aware of those

2115
06:10:47.159 --> 06:11:06.599
sounds at the moment he may start just not even

2116
06:11:06.959 --> 06:11:25.759
notice them at all because they're unimportant. Where I am,

2117
06:11:28.360 --> 06:11:33.000
I've got the sounds of the birds. There's all horrors,

2118
06:11:33.119 --> 06:11:41.159
the pigeon who likes to say hello. Sometimes there's the

2119
06:11:41.240 --> 06:11:51.799
old plane that goes by, maybe traffic and trains in

2120
06:11:51.919 --> 06:12:04.240
the distance, but none of let's see, is important whatsoever

2121
06:12:09.040 --> 06:12:23.400
or candles you blow out less important anything is or

2122
06:12:23.840 --> 06:12:35.720
candles you blow out. The further seemed to move away,

2123
06:12:42.520 --> 06:12:57.720
sounds and general date, days, stuff seems to just move

2124
06:12:58.240 --> 06:13:16.520
away on its ode. You feel more calmer with every

2125
06:13:16.759 --> 06:13:34.000
candle you blow out, guiding you to the next number.

2126
06:13:36.840 --> 06:13:46.360
Did you hear me say? And then you blow that

2127
06:13:46.720 --> 06:13:47.439

2133

2162
07:13:31.159 --> 07:13:37.279
concerns about the past, thoughts about the future, and even

2163
07:13:38.759 --> 07:13:43.119
things you've been thinking about today. Just let it all

2164
07:13:43.159 --> 07:13:49.400
go because none of it is useful in this moment.

2165
07:13:54.319 --> 07:14:09.720
This is your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed,

2166
07:14:14.000 --> 07:14:20.439
allowing yourself to get in touch with that natural sense

2167
07:14:22.520 --> 07:14:30.639
of peace that we all have within us. It's available

2168
07:14:30.720 --> 07:14:35.560
for everyone. It just sometimes takes a little bit of

2169
07:14:35.680 --> 07:14:43.080
effort to set up the right time and place in

2170
07:14:43.319 --> 07:14:49.560
order for you to just let go. Because when you

2171
07:14:49.799 --> 07:14:57.560
do decide to let go and relax, that's what your

2172
07:14:57.599 --> 07:15:06.319
body starts to do because you've chosen, You've chosen to

2173
07:15:06.759 --> 07:15:13.880
just allow your body to unwind and your mind starts

2174
07:15:13.959 --> 07:15:21.439
to slow down. And it's a nice feeling. It's a

2175
07:15:21.520 --> 07:15:25.759
nice feeling at the beginning, just to know that you

2176
07:15:26.240 --> 07:15:36.520
have chosen to decide to relax deeply, and because you've

2177
07:15:36.639 --> 07:15:45.119
made that decision, your body will just follow suit. Because

2178
07:15:45.200 --> 07:15:49.840
sometimes all the muscles in your body need is just

2179
07:15:50.159 --> 07:15:59.400
permission from you to relax. Because so often we're busy

2180
07:15:59.639 --> 07:16:03.840
with going from here to there. We're walking around and

2181
07:16:03.959 --> 07:16:11.319
we're doing stuff, and the body doesn't have any time

2182
07:16:11.560 --> 07:16:19.959
or space to really relax deeply, so it kind of

2183
07:16:20.040 --> 07:16:25.599
waits for you to lead the way, waits for your permission.

2184
07:16:29.959 --> 07:16:36.439
And when you do give your permission, when you give

2185
07:16:36.520 --> 07:16:42.799
the say so, when you say okay, it's time for

2186
07:16:42.919 --> 07:16:52.560
your body to let go completely and relax totally, your

2187
07:16:52.599 --> 07:17:00.520
body just follows. So like a breath of relief. Ah,

2188
07:17:01.880 --> 07:17:09.000
good luck. Can now relax have feeling at the end

2189
07:17:09.040 --> 07:17:12.439
of a day of very physical day that you may

2190
07:17:12.520 --> 07:17:16.319
experience in the past, where you get home and you

2191
07:17:16.560 --> 07:17:20.279
just sit down on a chair, maybe you kick your

2192
07:17:20.360 --> 07:17:26.479
shoes off, and ah, feels so nice. I know that

2193
07:17:26.560 --> 07:17:30.599
you don't have to get up again for a little

2194
07:17:30.639 --> 07:17:34.319
while at least if you choose, you can just sit

2195
07:17:34.439 --> 07:17:47.000
there for maybe an hour to It feels blissful. And

2196
07:17:47.279 --> 07:17:52.240
just by sitting down like that, your body knows that

2197
07:17:52.400 --> 07:17:57.840
it's time to relax. Your body has been given permission

2198
07:17:58.040 --> 07:18:07.720
from you because it's a mindset. In your mind, you're

2199
07:18:07.840 --> 07:18:19.560
prepared to let go of everything and just completely allow

2200
07:18:20.000 --> 07:18:28.919
all the stress of your body to evaporate. Any tensions

2201
07:18:29.279 --> 07:18:48.119
can just gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really, because

2202
07:18:48.479 --> 07:18:55.000
that sense of relaxation in your body. It's a very

2203
07:18:55.159 --> 07:19:01.919
natural state. It's not something unusual. It may feel unusual

2204
07:19:02.240 --> 07:19:05.479
when you first start to relax. You if you haven't

2205
07:19:05.639 --> 07:19:11.040
really spent a lot of time focusing and giving yourself

2206
07:19:11.159 --> 07:19:16.240
this space to let go completely and relax may seem

2207
07:19:16.360 --> 07:19:24.919
almost alien, but it isn't. It's actually the most natural

2208
07:19:25.040 --> 07:19:33.599
thing in the world to let go completely, to relax totally,

2209
07:19:35.599 --> 07:19:42.319
the most natural thing in the world to allow yourself

2210
07:19:46.680 --> 07:19:54.080
to feel really calm in your mind. And it is

2211
07:19:54.360 --> 07:20:02.040
almost like a literal unwinding. It's like you press a

2212
07:20:02.159 --> 07:20:10.880
button and all the tension just releases, and it's like

2213
07:20:11.000 --> 07:20:14.560
a wheel, like a cog, like the inside of the

2214
07:20:14.680 --> 07:20:18.799
clock just unwinding. And it's almost like you could see

2215
07:20:19.000 --> 07:20:24.680
the little wind up knob that's used just going the

2216
07:20:24.840 --> 07:20:31.240
opposite way that you choose to wind it up, and

2217
07:20:31.360 --> 07:20:40.520
the energy that frenetic stress for energy gradually winding down,

2218
07:20:41.759 --> 07:20:49.119
losing its power, losing its strength. As a sense of

2219
07:20:49.279 --> 07:21:00.279
relaxation becomes stronger and deeper, and you may fine, mind

2220
07:21:01.040 --> 07:21:08.479
are the more relaxed you feel, your mind starts to wonder,

2221
07:21:11.599 --> 07:21:17.479
maybe seem to stop listening to me for a while,

2222
07:21:17.639 --> 07:21:24.240
and your mind goes somewhere else, and then you realize

2223
07:21:24.279 --> 07:21:29.759
you're listening to me again, and that's just your mind

2224
07:21:30.119 --> 07:21:40.560
drifting to sleep, which is quite natural because sometimes when

2225
07:21:40.680 --> 07:21:47.560
we're stressed and tense, we're not may I actually be

2226
07:21:48.360 --> 07:21:53.200
aware of what we need or we physically your emotionally

2227
07:21:55.279 --> 07:22:03.720
need in this moment, but you allow your body and

2228
07:22:03.959 --> 07:22:15.080
mind to relax completely, and you let go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas,

2229
07:22:16.560 --> 07:22:26.520
all lengo allow them to drop onto the floor when

2230
07:22:26.599 --> 07:22:32.599
you start to get in touch with the feelings of

2231
07:22:34.479 --> 07:22:45.360
such relaxation. Feels so nice to be in touch with

2232
07:22:46.159 --> 07:22:54.680
the calmness of the different body parts as they become

2233
07:22:55.040 --> 07:23:08.799
looser and looser. Even your breathing scenes easier and more natural,

2234
07:23:10.360 --> 07:23:18.279
effortless as that call outs through your mouth or nose

2235
07:23:19.439 --> 07:23:30.479
into your lungs, breathing in comforts and relaxation, and then

2236
07:23:30.639 --> 07:23:38.799
just breathing out any excess remain intention or stress from

2237
07:23:38.919 --> 07:23:47.599
every part of your body and mind. As you start

2238
07:23:47.720 --> 07:23:53.759
to focus on your mind, maybe you notice that things

2239
07:23:56.240 --> 07:24:02.000
have come to a standstill or maybe just much much

2240
07:24:02.520 --> 07:24:11.599
lower than before, because your mind is not really needed

2241
07:24:13.159 --> 07:24:20.799
when listening to my voice, which allows your mind to

2242
07:24:21.000 --> 07:24:30.240
relax just as deep as your body, and that's synchronicity

2243
07:24:31.119 --> 07:24:42.439
between the relaxation of your body relaxation of your mind.

2244
07:24:44.799 --> 07:24:55.360
Let you know that feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed.

2245
07:24:57.159 --> 07:24:58.200

remaining wards or concerns, allow them just drop onto the

2263
07:28:09.119 --> 07:28:20.040

07:34:30.720 --> 07:34:37.439
Just accepting, observing and accepting how you feel in the

2290
07:34:37.520 --> 07:34:43.799
different parts of your body, Just allowing yourself to be

2291
07:34:44.119 --> 07:34:51.599
exactly as you are, to notice, to get in touch

2292
07:34:56.200 --> 07:35:04.040
with how you actually feel in this moment. The start

2293
07:35:04.159 --> 07:35:15.119
off by focusing on your hands. Just be aware of

2294
07:35:15.240 --> 07:35:23.520
your hands. I'd like you to move your hands around,

2295
07:35:24.959 --> 07:35:27.439
just maybe move your fingers.

2296
07:35:27.159 --> 07:35:27.720
A little bit.

2297
07:35:30.159 --> 07:35:35.880
I've been enclosing in your hands very gently, just so

2298
07:35:36.319 --> 07:35:41.840
that you can get in touch with how your hands

2299
07:35:44.319 --> 07:36:04.599
and your fingers feel, very very slow movements. Focusing now

2300
07:36:05.479 --> 07:36:12.759
on your feet, and if you can just do kind

2301
07:36:12.759 --> 07:36:17.479
of an equivalent with your feet is you've just done

2302
07:36:17.720 --> 07:36:26.560
with your hands, maybe turning your ankles, moving your feet around,

2303
07:36:28.560 --> 07:36:38.959
moving your toes gently, only very gently and very slowly,

2304
07:36:41.959 --> 07:36:57.360
noticing how your feet feel in this moment. Focusing now

2305
07:36:57.599 --> 07:37:04.799
on your eyes, I'd like you to just focus on

2306
07:37:04.919 --> 07:37:10.680
your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close your eyes

2307
07:37:10.880 --> 07:37:15.240
a couple of times to really get in touch with

2308
07:37:16.119 --> 07:37:20.799
how you feel when you do close your eyes. The

2309
07:37:20.959 --> 07:37:27.159
muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them,

2310
07:37:30.000 --> 07:37:36.400
maybe raising your eyebrows, it stretches the tops of your eyes,

2311
07:37:39.599 --> 07:37:48.040
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes, just so

2312
07:37:48.200 --> 07:37:56.599
you can really get in touch with all aspects of

2313
07:37:57.799 --> 07:38:01.560
how your eyes feel.

2314
07:38:03.959 --> 07:38:04.439
Right now.

2315
07:38:13.799 --> 07:38:19.799
Now focusing on your thighs, then you know, it just

2316
07:38:19.840 --> 07:38:28.200
starts you to gently tense your thighs, just very very gently,

2317
07:38:30.560 --> 07:38:41.200
just enough so you can become more attuned to the

2318
07:38:42.479 --> 07:38:50.959
physical sensation of your upper legs, the front of your thighs,

2319
07:38:51.240 --> 07:39:02.279
and the backs of your thighs. Noticing and observing how

2320
07:39:04.599 --> 07:39:19.680
your thighs feel right now, moving your focus to the

2321
07:39:19.799 --> 07:39:26.319
back of your neck, just noticing the back of your

2322
07:39:26.439 --> 07:39:32.799
neck the muscles, and of course they lead to the

2323
07:39:33.080 --> 07:39:37.479
side of your neck. They also lead to the top

2324
07:39:37.560 --> 07:39:43.880
of your back, which leads to your shoulders. So as

2325
07:39:43.919 --> 07:39:49.759
your focus on the back of your neck, maybe you

2326
07:39:49.919 --> 07:39:56.560
can move your head gently upwards as if you're looking up,

2327
07:39:58.520 --> 07:40:04.159
Maybe moving your head down as if you're looking down.

2328
07:40:07.279 --> 07:40:14.560
Perhaps moving your head side decide right to left, only

2329
07:40:16.400 --> 07:40:27.119
very slowly and very gently, not trying to force anything.

2330
07:40:28.880 --> 07:40:37.799
It has to be very very gentle, just so that

2331
07:40:38.040 --> 07:40:38.560
you can.

2332
07:40:40.119 --> 07:40:41.720
Be more.

2333
07:40:43.400 --> 07:40:52.799
In touch with the feelings, with the sensations, the physical

2334
07:40:54.159 --> 07:41:03.439
sensations of how back of your neck feels. Right now,

2335
07:41:11.000 --> 07:41:19.000
as we now focus on the tops of your arms,

2336
07:41:21.360 --> 07:41:26.200
the parts where your biceps and your triceps are between

2337
07:41:26.240 --> 07:41:33.959
your elbow and your shoulders. So you focus on those parts,

2338
07:41:34.959 --> 07:41:40.639
the tops of your arms, you may like to just

2339
07:41:41.439 --> 07:41:52.759
tense them, but very very gently and slowly, so you're

2340
07:41:53.200 --> 07:42:05.119
straining or putting any pressure whatsoever on your arms. It's

2341
07:42:05.360 --> 07:42:12.639
just slowly you can gain more of a sense of

2342
07:42:14.520 --> 07:42:26.479
how your upper arms are feeling in this moment, just

2343
07:42:26.799 --> 07:42:39.319
noticing as you gently, very gently and slowly tighten the

2344
07:42:39.479 --> 07:42:50.240
muscles and then let go. Notice how the tops of

2345
07:42:50.319 --> 07:43:08.840
your arms feel. Right now, as we now focus on

2346
07:43:09.040 --> 07:43:16.560
your stomach, the area the lower abdomen area below your

2347
07:43:16.599 --> 07:43:25.240
belly button, moving all the way down to your hips,

2348
07:43:26.319 --> 07:43:37.000
just above of your grind, maybe you're able to tense

2349
07:43:37.360 --> 07:43:45.439
these muscles in that area very very gently.

2350
07:43:48.479 --> 07:43:49.560
And slowly.

2351
07:43:55.200 --> 07:43:59.599
If that's a difficult thing to do, maybe you can

2352
07:43:59.799 --> 07:44:10.479
just move your body, pushing your stomach up, maybe moving

2353
07:44:10.560 --> 07:44:15.759
a little bit of a side using your hips, just

2354
07:44:16.319 --> 07:44:26.400
so get more in tune with how your lower apto

2355
07:44:26.560 --> 07:44:45.680
an area is feeling in this moment, just noticing the

2356
07:44:45.919 --> 07:45:08.319
physical sensations or your lower abdomen as you move your

2357
07:45:08.400 --> 07:45:22.880
attention to your mouth, noticing your lips, then inside your mouth,

2358
07:45:25.159 --> 07:45:42.360
your teeth, your gums, your tongue, just noticing how your

2359
07:45:42.520 --> 07:45:51.720
tongue and your mouth feels. It may help by moving

2360
07:45:52.040 --> 07:45:58.560
your tongue around your mouth, moving it to your left,

2361
07:46:00.319 --> 07:46:06.000
maybe pressing it gently against the side of your mouth,

2362
07:46:07.560 --> 07:46:12.520
and then to the right, gently to the side of

2363
07:46:12.639 --> 07:46:20.560
your mouth, perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth,

2364
07:46:21.720 --> 07:46:27.599
and then down gently against the bottom of your mouth,

2365
07:46:30.279 --> 07:46:33.799
always very slowly.

2366
07:46:36.680 --> 07:46:37.919
And a very.

2367
07:46:40.319 --> 07:46:57.360
Very gentle so that you can be aware of how

2368
07:46:57.599 --> 07:47:20.240
you feel in your mouth area. Now going to focus

2369
07:47:22.520 --> 07:47:37.240
on your wrists, and I'll ask you to maybe just

2370
07:47:38.400 --> 07:47:46.919
routine your wrists by moving your hands in a circular

2371
07:47:47.279 --> 07:48:13.560
motion very gently and slowly, just so feel the sensations

2372
07:48:14.680 --> 07:48:30.080
that you are currently experiencing in your risks. Perhaps move

2373
07:48:30.360 --> 07:48:41.880
in your hands up and down the game very very

2374
07:48:42.360 --> 07:49:22.479
gently and slowly, very chancel and slow. Now start to

2375
07:49:22.759 --> 07:49:38.439
observe your lower back. Their bad part is just above

2376
07:49:38.840 --> 07:49:55.439
your hips, where your coxis are a whole area which

2377
07:49:55.560 --> 07:50:02.959
also really does include the signs of your body, because

2378
07:50:03.040 --> 07:50:13.520
those muscles are very much connected. As those muscles also

2379
07:50:13.840 --> 07:50:23.159
move into your hiperia, connect into your buttocks, the side

2380
07:50:23.400 --> 07:50:38.200
of your hips, and if you're physically able to do so,

2381
07:50:40.439 --> 07:50:51.560
maybe you can very gently just move your body eviss slightly,

2382
07:50:53.919 --> 07:51:10.520
very slowly, some side to side, just enough to gauge

2383
07:51:15.759 --> 07:51:29.520
how you feel in your lower back. Perhaps it even

2384
07:51:33.200 --> 07:51:44.439
move your hips gently up and down, gently and slowly,

2385
07:51:47.680 --> 07:51:48.680
in order to.

2386
07:51:53.159 --> 07:51:54.680
Be in touch.

2387
07:51:57.040 --> 07:52:20.799
With the physical sensations of your lower back. As we know,

2388
07:52:21.279 --> 07:52:37.279
your attention to your jewel an area for your chin

2389
07:52:38.520 --> 07:52:42.560
all the way up? Then are you ear is on

2390
07:52:45.880 --> 07:53:01.360
oh of your jewel? You can just yeah, it's okay

2391
07:53:01.520 --> 07:53:12.400
to do so. Gently open your mouth nor wide, no stretching,

2392
07:53:13.720 --> 07:53:26.360
just very gently and slowly open in your mouth an

2393
07:53:26.720 --> 07:53:44.840
close in your mouth very gently and slowly, so you

2394
07:53:45.000 --> 07:54:01.759
can be in touch with how your jaw feels. Now

2395
07:54:28.759 --> 07:54:44.680
like to sit down chest around. You don't need to

2396
07:54:44.880 --> 07:54:53.040
do anything to move your chest because it moves every

2397
07:54:53.159 --> 07:55:12.159
time you breath. Use very gently and slowly automatically with

2398
07:55:12.439 --> 07:55:28.240
each breath you take as you focus on your chest

2399
07:55:33.439 --> 07:56:14.240
feels when you breathe. Move in your focus to your forearms,

2400
07:56:16.759 --> 07:56:32.959
your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently and slowly

2401
07:56:35.360 --> 07:56:43.919
dense the muscles in your forearms, and when you do that,

2402
07:56:44.400 --> 07:57:07.959
you can feel your elbows as well, gently and slowly,

2403
07:57:16.439 --> 07:57:56.279
gently and softly observing your forums and delpas. Now make

2404
07:57:56.319 --> 07:58:10.759
a focus the rest of your back, your upper back

2405
07:58:15.279 --> 07:58:32.720
in the middle, the middle of your back. Again, this

2406
07:58:33.400 --> 07:58:43.599
part of your body moves also every time you breathe.

2407
07:58:48.439 --> 07:59:01.959
You may not notice that usually makes you observe you

2408
07:59:02.240 --> 07:59:09.479
upper back in the middle of your back. It can

2409
07:59:09.720 --> 07:59:11.240
really feel.

2410
07:59:13.439 --> 07:59:13.479
That.

2411
07:59:15.080 --> 08:00:13.919
Shin't and moving your focus into your hip area, your

2412
08:00:14.080 --> 08:00:25.599
butty as your prime there's muscle at those bones in

2413
08:00:25.720 --> 08:01:02.439
your midsection. Just noticing how your hips feel.

2414
08:01:05.639 --> 08:01:14.439
Right now you can.

2415
08:01:16.880 --> 08:01:30.520
Very very gently move your hips maybe side to side

2416
08:01:32.000 --> 08:01:33.799
very gently and.

2417
08:01:36.880 --> 08:01:54.919
Sor yeah, very.

2418
08:01:59.400 --> 08:02:08.680
Chin softly.

2419
08:02:15.639 --> 08:02:15.959
Ms.

2420
08:02:22.439 --> 08:02:39.200
Everything starts to slow down, including the thoughts in your

2421
08:02:39.319 --> 08:02:51.080
mind and your mind itself just starts to gradually. It

2422
08:02:51.159 --> 08:02:57.639
doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting too.

2423
08:02:58.919 --> 08:03:07.720
It's almost like time is string Chin. It's a slower

2424
08:03:07.880 --> 08:03:15.759
pace to maybe what you're used to in your day

2425
08:03:15.799 --> 08:03:37.799
to day life. It's a slower movement of energy, very

2426
08:03:42.200 --> 08:03:50.680
small movements which make up the larger movements, which is

2427
08:03:50.720 --> 08:03:58.479
always the case. Now, when you move your hand, it

2428
08:03:58.599 --> 08:04:01.360
might seem like it's one movement, but it's lots of

2429
08:04:02.159 --> 08:04:09.560
minute different muscles moving in accordance with each other. And

2430
08:04:14.520 --> 08:04:26.880
what happens in this space that we're sharing is we

2431
08:04:27.119 --> 08:04:33.319
move from that big.

2432
08:04:37.680 --> 08:04:49.279
Movement into those smaller movements. Starting to focus on.

2433
08:04:54.599 --> 08:05:00.840
How your body feels, not just as a whole, not

2434
08:05:01.119 --> 08:05:05.639
just oh, i'm feel in this way. I'm feeling stressed

2435
08:05:05.840 --> 08:05:11.479
or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm. I'm feeling

2436
08:05:11.639 --> 08:05:18.360
this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice that

2437
08:05:18.520 --> 08:05:32.520
your body begins to present to you small feelings around

2438
08:05:32.599 --> 08:05:50.360
your body, small physical sensations in your legs, whether pleasurable

2439
08:05:51.560 --> 08:06:02.560
or not. Maybe exist in the temptation to label them

2440
08:06:05.479 --> 08:06:13.119
or to judge them those feelings. Just thinking them, thinking

2441
08:06:13.159 --> 08:06:26.319
about them is just being neutral, just feelings, not being

2442
08:06:27.360 --> 08:06:37.680
particularly concerned, just noticing what your body is telling you.

2443
08:06:45.639 --> 08:06:51.959
Feelings in your arms, instead of feeling the whole of

2444
08:06:52.080 --> 08:07:02.080
the arm, maybe notice those individual feelings, all those different

2445
08:07:02.319 --> 08:07:15.639
muscles and the skin, the hairs of your arms, all

2446
08:07:15.720 --> 08:07:29.560
the internal parts of your arms, the veins, the bones.

2447
08:07:32.439 --> 08:07:38.439
Just being aware of maybe your elbow on your right

2448
08:07:38.639 --> 08:07:49.240
arm has a certain feeling. Maybe your left wrist also

2449
08:07:49.520 --> 08:08:12.560
has its own individual physical sensation. What about your forearm

2450
08:08:13.599 --> 08:08:25.799
on your right arm, your right forearm, there may not

2451
08:08:25.959 --> 08:08:33.720
be any particular feeling that you could even give a

2452
08:08:33.840 --> 08:08:41.000
name to, may not feel like anything other than just

2453
08:08:41.599 --> 08:08:52.040
a feeling. Yeah, it's there. The feelings in your shoulders,

2454
08:08:54.880 --> 08:08:58.560
perhaps your shoulders, when you think about them, you're kind

2455
08:08:58.599 --> 08:09:03.720
of almost like they're the same, you know, the same feeling,

2456
08:09:05.560 --> 08:09:08.880
almost like you both of your shoulders are just one thing.

2457
08:09:10.680 --> 08:09:21.759
Of course they're not. And when you focus on your

2458
08:09:21.840 --> 08:09:30.080
left shoulder and then on your right shoulder, maybe find

2459
08:09:30.240 --> 08:09:35.639
that you move the muscles a little bit, maybe tense

2460
08:09:35.759 --> 08:10:01.319
the muscles gently, noticing the difference in each shoulder. Your

2461
08:10:01.400 --> 08:10:17.279
lower back, the left side of your lower back and

2462
08:10:18.080 --> 08:10:28.799
the right side of your lower back, of course that

2463
08:10:29.000 --> 08:10:41.400
connection to your buttocks and to your hips, and also

2464
08:10:41.639 --> 08:10:55.360
moving up into the middle of your back. And sometimes

2465
08:10:55.759 --> 08:10:59.200
like right now, actually I'm want to focus on their part.

2466
08:11:00.599 --> 08:11:05.000
When I focused on my buttocks and then I focused

2467
08:11:05.040 --> 08:11:09.159
on the middle of my back, I almost felt like

2468
08:11:09.360 --> 08:11:14.119
the muscles in my lower back were being stretched very gently,

2469
08:11:18.880 --> 08:11:24.159
just stretched a little bit, even though I wasn't doing

2470
08:11:24.240 --> 08:11:33.040
anything to try to stretch your lower back. It just

2471
08:11:33.119 --> 08:11:45.400
seemed to happen. The feeling of very gently stretching your

2472
08:11:45.479 --> 08:12:04.599
lower back comes along. I have feeling in your chest,

2473
08:12:12.200 --> 08:12:25.599
just noticing what sensations you are experiencing in your chest

2474
08:12:25.880 --> 08:12:42.000
right now. And there's so much of the chest. Of course,

2475
08:12:42.200 --> 08:12:45.840
there's the collar bone leading to the chest. You've got

2476
08:12:45.880 --> 08:12:54.479
the chest bone, You've got the muscles in your chest.

2477
08:12:57.279 --> 08:13:03.360
Of course, if you're female, there's possibly the breasts. If

2478
08:13:03.360 --> 08:13:11.520
you're male, you've got the different well my not that

2479
08:13:11.680 --> 08:13:19.119
different these days, but there may be more muscles at

2480
08:13:19.159 --> 08:13:25.400
the top of the chest, but at the side underneath

2481
08:13:26.560 --> 08:13:29.400
it's pretty much the same. Whether you're a man or

2482
08:13:29.400 --> 08:13:35.840
a woman. There's muscles there, muscles that stretch out to

2483
08:13:35.959 --> 08:13:40.919
your back as well as breast tissue stretches and moves

2484
08:13:40.959 --> 08:13:48.319
into your back. To just being aware of your chest,

2485
08:13:57.240 --> 08:14:24.319
being with whatever feeling there is in your chest. And

2486
08:14:24.439 --> 08:14:31.880
when I noticed that, I focus on my chest, I

2487
08:14:32.119 --> 08:14:37.119
feel it in my back, my upper back. I mean,

2488
08:14:37.200 --> 08:14:40.119
I guess the obvious reason would be because you know,

2489
08:14:40.119 --> 08:14:50.880
I'm grieve in in and it stretches my chest and

2490
08:14:51.240 --> 08:15:01.000
my back at the same time. It feels.

2491
08:15:04.279 --> 08:15:16.080
It feels okay, doesn't feel I got a little bit

2492
08:15:16.159 --> 08:15:17.520
of pain in my right.

2493
08:15:19.319 --> 08:15:24.720
Chest, a little bit, not pain, but a little discomfort,

2494
08:15:24.840 --> 08:15:34.880
maybe stiffness, possibly, I don't know. I notice my shoulders

2495
08:15:34.919 --> 08:15:43.799
are also wanting to flex for some reason. I think

2496
08:15:43.840 --> 08:15:52.240
that's probably part of my upper back, that connection between

2497
08:15:52.360 --> 08:15:56.599
my shoulders my upper back, because I can move my

2498
08:15:56.680 --> 08:16:03.959
shoulders and stretch the muscles in my back, moving the

2499
08:16:04.040 --> 08:16:10.560
shoulders backwards or up, which then moves I think it's

2500
08:16:10.639 --> 08:16:26.319
the scapulous in your back. It feels quite nice. Actually,

2501
08:16:31.680 --> 08:16:34.840
a good thing about this is you can, if you

2502
08:16:35.000 --> 08:16:48.919
want to, you can just flex or stimulate the various

2503
08:16:49.119 --> 08:16:56.639
muscles in your body gently in order to get more

2504
08:16:56.639 --> 08:17:06.959
of a sense of how they feel. And when you're relaxing,

2505
08:17:11.799 --> 08:17:15.840
when you do tense and muscle, then you let it

2506
08:17:15.959 --> 08:17:23.360
go and you let it relax. It relaxes way more

2507
08:17:25.000 --> 08:17:35.000
than it would normally. That you have to feel that

2508
08:17:35.119 --> 08:17:38.840
you're able to do that. There's no point in doing

2509
08:17:38.919 --> 08:17:44.439
it if there's an issue with the per part of

2510
08:17:44.520 --> 08:17:53.720
your body. You need to be gentle with yourself at

2511
08:17:54.000 --> 08:18:07.799
all times when relaxing deeply. It's important to be kind

2512
08:18:08.560 --> 08:18:24.560
to yourself as you notice your mind, how much has

2513
08:18:24.599 --> 08:18:48.279
your mind slowed down since we started this recording, How

2514
08:18:48.479 --> 08:19:04.240
came and peaceful is your mind right now with nothing

2515
08:19:04.319 --> 08:19:09.840
to think about and just my voice to listen to.

2516
08:19:13.959 --> 08:19:22.560
Because you know the intention behind this recording, this relaxation.

2517
08:19:25.279 --> 08:19:30.439
At the very least, for you to feel more relaxed

2518
08:19:31.759 --> 08:19:35.279
at the end of recording than you did at the beginning,

2519
08:19:40.439 --> 08:19:49.080
at the very least, for your mind to slow down

2520
08:19:52.040 --> 08:20:04.759
as your body continues to relax, because that's what you

2521
08:20:06.400 --> 08:20:26.200
want to happen. That's what you expect to happen, for

2522
08:20:26.479 --> 08:20:44.639
relaxation to fill your body, maybe calm in your mind

2523
08:20:46.159 --> 08:20:53.639
to the point of boredom when you start maybe to

2524
08:20:59.279 --> 08:21:41.040
drift away. Drifting it's almost as if you're moving further

2525
08:21:41.240 --> 08:21:49.439
away from your body in your mind, just leaving that there,

2526
08:21:57.439 --> 08:22:01.720
kind of liking it an escape pod in the spaceship

2527
08:22:02.119 --> 08:22:05.520
a movie, a space movie, you know when they get

2528
08:22:05.560 --> 08:22:11.520
into a little part in it. Since the month far

2529
08:22:11.720 --> 08:22:40.759
away from the spaceship, safe to dream and continue to relax,

2530
08:23:01.040 --> 08:24:28.080
drifting size slow and peace, so rare and peace, and

2531
08:24:28.319 --> 08:24:42.720
focusing on that feeling of those individual parts of your

2532
08:24:42.880 --> 08:24:51.200
body that's relaxing one by one.

2533
08:24:58.639 --> 08:24:59.000
You me.

2534
08:25:00.919 --> 08:25:14.599
Find that every now and then you realize that you

2535
08:25:14.759 --> 08:25:23.400
weren't listening to my voice because your mind started to

2536
08:25:23.639 --> 08:25:38.840
imagine something different, maybe started to almost move into some

2537
08:25:39.200 --> 08:25:47.599
kind of a dreamy state. And then you become aware

2538
08:25:47.799 --> 08:25:57.040
of my voice again. And even though you may want

2539
08:25:57.240 --> 08:26:02.159
to focus on my voice, in may also wish to

2540
08:26:04.680 --> 08:26:16.279
allow your mind to just drift naturally into that space

2541
08:26:16.560 --> 08:26:40.560
of comfort and safety. As you feel more comfort spreading

2542
08:26:40.919 --> 08:26:53.759
through your body like a warm blanket covering you, chimpling,

2543
08:26:57.720 --> 08:27:15.799
keeping your body it just the perfect temperature, and even

2544
08:27:15.959 --> 08:27:28.000
if you can hear background sounds, they just don't seem

2545
08:27:28.119 --> 08:27:44.880
to matter anymore. There's that sense of peace spreads through

2546
08:27:45.000 --> 08:27:58.599
your mind like a gentle breeze, yet strong enough to

2547
08:27:58.840 --> 08:28:15.080
blow away all negativity, strong enough to remove from your

2548
08:28:15.200 --> 08:28:33.080
mind any anxiety or stress that was there before, and

2549
08:28:33.319 --> 08:28:44.000
blow away any other thoughts or feelings that just don't

2550
08:28:44.319 --> 08:29:08.560
fit with the sense relaxation that is feeling your body

2551
08:29:13.560 --> 08:29:33.279
and your mind. Unless you focus on your mind and

2552
08:29:33.639 --> 08:29:40.159
countdown from ten down to one, and with each number

2553
08:29:40.680 --> 08:30:07.599
you hear, your mind will become slightly more relaxed, just

2554
08:30:08.080 --> 08:30:16.080
just slightly so, from ten down to nine, just a

2555
08:30:16.400 --> 08:30:25.720
slight movement from nine down to eight, just another small

2556
08:30:30.200 --> 08:30:42.840
change in how you feel. Eight down to seven. That

2557
08:30:43.240 --> 08:30:49.119
feeling is a gap, almost like a gap that starts

2558
08:30:49.439 --> 08:30:58.479
to get wider, the gap between those feelings that you

2559
08:30:58.759 --> 08:31:06.080
used to have in your mind compared to the feelings

2560
08:31:06.240 --> 08:31:14.119
you have there growing now, feelings of comfort and security

2561
08:31:14.439 --> 08:31:26.479
and confidence, and the gap becomes wider. Made down to seven, seven,

2562
08:31:26.639 --> 08:31:35.040
down to six, and when you get to five, your

2563
08:31:35.240 --> 08:31:48.799
mind will start to have a certain physical sensation, almost

2564
08:31:49.000 --> 08:31:55.240
like there's a magnet outside of your head sucking the

2565
08:31:55.479 --> 08:32:01.159
tension and the stress and any remaining feelings that you

2566
08:32:01.360 --> 08:32:12.400
don't want, sucking them out through your skull. And then

2567
08:32:12.599 --> 08:32:19.000
down to four you could start to really experience that

2568
08:32:20.119 --> 08:32:31.840
sense of not just emptiness, but space, a place full

2569
08:32:31.880 --> 08:32:43.919
of fresh air, place where you can stretch. It's almost

2570
08:32:44.000 --> 08:32:47.279
as if as you go down to four and three,

2571
08:32:47.799 --> 08:32:58.279
your mind is expanding with this sense of peace and

2572
08:32:58.479 --> 08:33:08.799
tranquility growing as it moved down to When you get

2573
08:33:08.880 --> 08:33:18.080
to one, in your mind just feels exactly how you

2574
08:33:18.439 --> 08:33:38.479
want to feel, almost perfect feeling, maybe a sensation that

2575
08:33:40.119 --> 08:33:49.520
you'd like to keep a place that's safe, where nothing

2576
08:33:53.040 --> 08:34:08.240
can affect you at all, and you can stay in

2577
08:34:08.360 --> 08:34:17.240
that that space of comfort and confidence, confident in your

2578
08:34:17.400 --> 08:34:25.560
own ability to create this space and this feeling of

2579
08:34:25.759 --> 08:34:34.479
comfort within your own mind just by counting ten down

2580
08:34:34.560 --> 08:34:41.520
to one. And this is something that you can do

2581
08:34:41.799 --> 08:34:50.680
yourself when you're on your own a time when you

2582
08:34:50.840 --> 08:34:59.680
can maybe sit down, maybe just for a few minutes closure.

2583
08:35:03.759 --> 08:35:15.319
It just counts slowly from ten down to one and

2584
08:35:15.599 --> 08:35:28.279
re experience these feelings in your mind. And when you

2585
08:35:28.520 --> 08:35:38.040
feel that way in your mind, your body copies your

2586
08:35:38.159 --> 08:35:49.919
mind and that feeling it's spread through your spine and

2587
08:35:50.040 --> 08:35:57.520
your nervous system into every part of your body, travels

2588
08:35:58.000 --> 08:36:12.439
through your bloodstream, heathing and relaxing every particle of your existence.

2589
08:36:25.119 --> 08:36:34.319
And we can practice this a few times before the

2590
08:36:34.520 --> 08:36:39.000
end of the recording, and then you can practice on

2591
08:36:39.119 --> 08:36:46.159
your own, and each time you count from ten down

2592
08:36:46.159 --> 08:37:00.840
to one, the feelings of comfort, calmness, deep deep relaxation

2593
08:37:02.080 --> 08:37:16.959
becomes stronger and deeper feeling your mind and your brain

2594
08:37:18.639 --> 08:37:28.240
with these positive chemicals that spread throughout your body, relaxing

2595
08:37:28.360 --> 08:37:39.880
you so quickly, relaxing your whole body and mind so very,

2596
08:37:41.560 --> 08:37:52.840
very easily, just by counting from ten down to one.

2597
08:37:57.840 --> 08:38:00.560
That's what we're going to do. Now, I'm going to

2598
08:38:00.680 --> 08:38:04.759
count from ten down to one. I'd like you to

2599
08:38:04.919 --> 08:38:09.439
repeat the number after me. So when I say ten,

2600
08:38:12.479 --> 08:38:24.279
you can just repeat to yourself ten. Just notice, be

2601
08:38:24.439 --> 08:38:33.599
aware of how you feel in your mind and your body.

2602
08:38:38.000 --> 08:38:44.479
And when I say nine, you can repeat to yourself

2603
08:38:47.400 --> 08:39:02.599
nine again, noticing the increase in comfort and calmness in

2604
08:39:02.720 --> 08:39:12.919
your mind and in your body. The same. Want to

2605
08:39:13.000 --> 08:39:24.119
say eight when I say seven, six, I want I

2606
08:39:24.240 --> 08:39:43.200
say five, four, when I say three, two, And lastly

2607
08:39:43.360 --> 08:39:48.759
when I say one, you can we beat that number.

2608
08:39:56.240 --> 08:39:56.360
Now.

2609
08:39:56.479 --> 08:40:02.599
Of course, when you do this on your without listening

2610
08:40:02.680 --> 08:40:09.279
to me, you can say the numbers or whatever speed

2611
08:40:10.119 --> 08:40:18.159
that you feel is necessary for you, so you can adapt.

2612
08:40:20.520 --> 08:40:24.520
So you feel you want to say the numbers ten

2613
08:40:24.880 --> 08:40:31.240
down to one faster than I do, then you go

2614
08:40:31.360 --> 08:40:35.040
ahead and do that. Or if you feel when you

2615
08:40:35.200 --> 08:40:40.840
do it yourself that you'd like to have more more

2616
08:40:41.080 --> 08:40:48.479
space between the numbers, maybe take a lot longer to

2617
08:40:48.639 --> 08:40:58.720
get from ten all the way down to one. That's

2618
08:40:58.840 --> 08:41:11.520
your choice also have to do. So I'm gonna count

2619
08:41:11.639 --> 08:41:20.000
from ten down to one, and when I get to one,

2620
08:41:21.360 --> 08:41:26.880
that will be the end of this recording. The less

2621
08:41:26.919 --> 08:41:30.880
of course, you're listening with music, then the music will

2622
08:41:30.959 --> 08:46:46.759
continue ten nine US twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen,

2623
08:46:51.479 --> 08:47:36.680
twelve eleven, ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three

2624
08:47:41.720 --> 08:48:05.319
two one. Now open your eyes, noticing how you physically

2625
08:48:05.400 --> 08:48:14.439
feel having counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress

2626
08:48:14.560 --> 08:48:18.400
and tension to leave through your fingertips and your toast.

2627
08:48:19.959 --> 08:48:24.680
And as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel

2628
08:48:24.680 --> 08:48:32.119
a little bit tingling, which is suppose quite understanding considering

2629
08:48:32.200 --> 08:48:36.680
the tension has been exiting your body through your fingertips.

2630
08:48:43.159 --> 08:48:45.159
So now I'm going to count from twenty down to

2631
08:48:45.279 --> 08:48:52.520
one again. This time you're going to feel relief of

2632
08:48:52.680 --> 08:49:03.400
tension and stress, any anxiety that you may have leaving

2633
08:49:05.599 --> 08:49:11.560
through your stomach, just leaving through your stomach, almost as

2634
08:49:11.639 --> 08:49:18.200
if it's just releasing the whole of your stomach, your

2635
08:49:18.400 --> 08:49:22.919
navel to just above your chest or below your chest,

2636
08:49:23.000 --> 08:49:27.599
rather so surrounding your belly button area, the whole area.

2637
08:49:29.680 --> 08:49:34.279
You can feel the tension of your body where it's left,

2638
08:49:34.560 --> 08:49:39.880
just releasing from that area, and you may notice that

2639
08:49:40.000 --> 08:49:45.080
your stomach will become very relaxed as I count down

2640
08:49:46.080 --> 08:51:05.319
from twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

2641
08:51:10.119 --> 08:51:19.759
four three two.

2642
08:51:24.799 --> 08:51:24.840
What.

2643
08:51:29.959 --> 08:51:32.560
You can open your eyes again if you choose, or

2644
08:51:32.599 --> 08:51:36.200
you can just keep them closed because it feels relaxing.

2645
08:51:38.520 --> 08:51:43.599
Just noticing your stomach feels, I notice, there's your focus.

2646
08:51:43.880 --> 08:51:49.279
Just do a little scan of your body. Notice saying

2647
08:51:49.400 --> 08:52:02.240
your body feels focusing your upper body, back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,

2648
08:52:05.279 --> 08:52:12.200
Just noticing, and you know, you may start to feel

2649
08:52:14.680 --> 08:52:18.439
more of a sense of tiredness, which may be the

2650
08:52:18.560 --> 08:52:24.639
reason you're listening to this recording, because you would.

2651
08:52:24.599 --> 08:52:24.959
Like to.

2652
08:52:26.599 --> 08:52:38.479
Let go completely of everything and drift off into a nice, natural, calm,

2653
08:52:38.880 --> 08:52:54.040
relaxing sleep. So now we're going to focus on your forehead,

2654
08:52:57.959 --> 08:53:00.759
and if you choose, you can incorporate your eyes in

2655
08:53:00.919 --> 08:53:05.520
this focus as well. So your forehead and your eyes,

2656
08:53:07.639 --> 08:53:12.040
it's that whole area basically, almost as if you were

2657
08:53:12.080 --> 08:53:16.040
wearing a mask, you know, like a I don't know,

2658
08:53:16.080 --> 08:53:21.799
a Batman mask or something, or I'm trying to find

2659
08:53:22.360 --> 08:53:24.439
zorrow or something. You know, the kind of mask that

2660
08:53:24.560 --> 08:53:27.400
covers your eyes but also covers quite a lot of

2661
08:53:27.439 --> 08:53:34.599
the forehead, focusing on that area, because that's the area

2662
08:53:34.680 --> 08:53:39.319
that we're now going to release tension, stress from your mind,

2663
08:53:41.439 --> 08:53:45.279
your brain, from your mind, and any tension that you

2664
08:53:45.439 --> 08:53:49.599
may have remaining in your face, in your neck and

2665
08:53:49.680 --> 08:53:55.400
your jaw, in your eyes, your forehead, or your scalp.

2666
08:53:57.000 --> 08:54:02.319
So basically, any tension within your head area, including your

2667
08:54:02.479 --> 08:54:11.200
mind and your brain, that's going to be released through

2668
08:54:11.240 --> 08:54:17.599
your full head, in your eyes. As I count down

2669
08:54:17.720 --> 08:55:43.599
again from twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

2670
08:55:49.159 --> 08:56:18.840
four three. What noticing as you scan your face, lotaw,

2671
08:56:19.400 --> 08:56:28.200
your eyes, your cheap bones, your ears, your forehead, your scalp,

2672
08:56:29.840 --> 08:56:33.520
your neck, the back of your neck and the front

2673
08:56:33.599 --> 08:56:37.400
of your neck, the side of your neck, and your throat,

2674
08:56:43.720 --> 08:56:57.000
Noticing being aware of the comfort, increased feeling, relaxation, not

2675
08:56:57.360 --> 08:57:02.360
just in your head and neck and mind, also the

2676
08:57:02.439 --> 08:57:12.400
rest of your body. Just notice how loose and calm

2677
08:57:12.599 --> 08:57:19.040
you film, and how easily it is to just let go.

2678
08:57:21.840 --> 08:57:37.599
Completely, let go completely, how easily.

2679
08:57:45.400 --> 08:57:48.520
So what I'm going to do now is wanting to

2680
08:57:48.639 --> 08:57:50.639
focus on the top of your head.

2681
08:57:55.840 --> 08:57:56.040
And am.

2682
08:57:56.040 --> 08:58:03.159
We're going to allow every love, last piece of tension

2683
08:58:04.240 --> 08:58:09.279
or stress, the wine be lingering or hiding in your

2684
08:58:09.360 --> 08:58:12.919
body or mind or head.

2685
08:58:14.200 --> 08:58:14.599
To just.

2686
08:58:16.360 --> 08:58:22.040
Be sucked out on the top of your head and

2687
08:58:22.240 --> 08:58:30.520
released into the air. Was sucked out into the clouds.

2688
08:58:33.200 --> 08:58:38.000
Imagine a big cloud a prop your head, almost like

2689
08:58:38.119 --> 08:58:44.040
a whirlpool. It's is gonna suck that tension out of

2690
08:58:44.200 --> 08:58:49.119
the top of your head and just take away.

2691
08:58:50.680 --> 08:58:51.360
You good.

2692
08:58:54.319 --> 08:58:58.080
You focus. Imagine an opening on the top of your

2693
08:58:58.159 --> 08:59:05.200
head with attention and stress and any remaining issues maybe

2694
08:59:05.400 --> 08:59:09.000
worries or concerns that are no use to you. Now

2695
08:59:10.319 --> 08:59:12.840
you can all be sucked down at the top.

2696
08:59:12.639 --> 08:59:13.439
Of your head.

2697
08:59:14.959 --> 08:59:20.919
And taken away. As I count down again, I'm twenty

2698
08:59:21.319 --> 09:00:01.680
down to one now, twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifty

2699
09:00:07.040 --> 09:01:04.319
fourteen thirteen to twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

2700
09:01:09.799 --> 09:01:42.400
four three two. Wha, prey. I'm noticing how you feel,

2701
09:01:48.919 --> 09:01:57.479
how relaxed and calm if physically and mentally feel right now,

2702
09:02:03.119 --> 09:02:13.200
How peaceful your mind feels. It feels so nice to

2703
09:02:13.439 --> 09:02:22.040
just let go, to give yourself some space, to breathe easily,

2704
09:02:23.959 --> 09:02:32.040
to think calmly, and just to take a break from

2705
09:02:33.840 --> 09:02:40.200
all that pointless worry and concerns about things that you

2706
09:02:40.279 --> 09:02:50.360
don't need to think about right now, because this is

2707
09:02:50.560 --> 09:02:55.400
your time to let go. This is your space to

2708
09:02:55.720 --> 09:03:06.159
enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful in your mind, relaxed in

2709
09:03:06.279 --> 09:03:16.040
your body. They can feel so good, so nice to

2710
09:03:16.439 --> 09:03:24.279
just not have to do anything to be able to

2711
09:03:25.560 --> 09:03:35.479
really enjoy that serenity that comes of letting go completely,

2712
09:03:37.599 --> 09:03:39.959
that peacefulness that comes with.

2713
09:03:46.680 --> 09:03:48.040
Being in this.

2714
09:03:49.840 --> 09:03:59.880
Peaceful space. And you can keep this sense of calmness

2715
09:04:00.759 --> 09:04:11.880
for as long as you choose. If you choose to

2716
09:04:12.159 --> 09:04:19.360
drift off into a deep, healing, natural sleep, then you

2717
09:04:19.439 --> 09:04:30.959
can do that. It's completely up to you. And you

2718
09:04:31.080 --> 09:04:35.720
can keep this feeling of calmness physically and in your

2719
09:04:35.799 --> 09:04:43.840
mind for as long as you choose to feel completely relaxed,

2720
09:04:49.560 --> 09:04:58.319
completely relaxed. And I'd like you to make up your

2721
09:04:58.560 --> 09:05:11.200
mind that you're going to relax, and I want to

2722
09:05:11.319 --> 09:05:14.720
explore that with you. What it feels like when you

2723
09:05:14.840 --> 09:05:23.919
actually decide that you're going to relax, not forcing yourself,

2724
09:05:24.040 --> 09:05:30.240
but giving yourself that. Yes, it is a command, really,

2725
09:05:30.279 --> 09:05:37.200
isn't it When you're telling yourself relax in a gentle

2726
09:05:37.360 --> 09:05:44.360
but firm way that only you can really tell yourself

2727
09:05:44.799 --> 09:05:47.680
in that way. You can't really have someone else saying

2728
09:05:47.720 --> 09:05:53.840
to you, now it relax, relax, you know, and it

2729
09:05:53.919 --> 09:05:56.319
needs to be gentle. But you can't someone else can't

2730
09:05:56.360 --> 09:06:05.400
really have the same the same kind of influence or

2731
09:06:05.759 --> 09:06:13.879
power that you have over your own physicality, over how

2732
09:06:14.080 --> 09:06:24.239
you feel, because when you say it to yourself, it

2733
09:06:24.519 --> 09:06:32.319
means more. It's personal, and your brain and your unconscious

2734
09:06:32.519 --> 09:06:38.680
mind and your body listens to what you say. So,

2735
09:06:38.959 --> 09:06:42.760
for example, we'll test it out. We'll do a little test,

2736
09:06:42.879 --> 09:06:46.519
a few little tests along the way, and you can

2737
09:06:46.639 --> 09:06:52.879
get more of an idea of the force, a positive

2738
09:06:53.120 --> 09:06:59.480
force that you can have in creating a sense of

2739
09:06:59.639 --> 09:07:03.360
coming foot and relaxation in your body and your mind

2740
09:07:04.559 --> 09:07:17.080
quite quickly just by you telling yourself to relax. So

2741
09:07:17.480 --> 09:07:20.680
I want to start by it's focus on your hands.

2742
09:07:24.319 --> 09:07:26.519
So focus on your hands and just tell your hands

2743
09:07:26.879 --> 09:07:32.839
to relax, and just say relax. As you focus on

2744
09:07:32.919 --> 09:07:39.879
your hands, you could say my hands are relaxed, or

2745
09:07:39.919 --> 09:07:44.080
I want my hands to relax. I think if you

2746
09:07:44.199 --> 09:07:51.000
actually do it directly by focusing and imagining that your

2747
09:07:51.160 --> 09:07:54.959
hands can hear what you're saying you know they've got

2748
09:07:55.000 --> 09:08:01.040
little ears, which is a bit weird. Talking to your

2749
09:08:01.160 --> 09:08:17.959
hands and just say relax. Noticin how your hands start

2750
09:08:18.040 --> 09:08:33.440
to relax. Now, focus on your eyes and tell your

2751
09:08:33.519 --> 09:08:37.000
eyes to relax. You just say in the same word

2752
09:08:37.839 --> 09:08:46.080
relax and find the right tone for you. You know,

2753
09:08:46.239 --> 09:08:53.160
I might say relax, but you you might say relax

2754
09:08:54.319 --> 09:08:59.680
or relax. You know, you might say it differently to yourself,

2755
09:09:00.680 --> 09:09:07.199
and that's important for you to gauge what feels right

2756
09:09:07.599 --> 09:09:13.879
for you. To just tell your eyes to relax whilst

2757
09:09:14.000 --> 09:09:18.040
focusing on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

2758
09:09:18.919 --> 09:09:55.800
your eyebrows, and just tell your eyes directly relax now. Now,

2759
09:09:55.839 --> 09:10:06.239
I just did that myself, and sometimes you may feel

2760
09:10:06.319 --> 09:10:11.080
that you need a bit more time for the different

2761
09:10:11.120 --> 09:10:14.800
parts to relax, you know, because I started talking again

2762
09:10:15.400 --> 09:10:20.440
and maybe that part hasn't relaxed fully. But what happened

2763
09:10:20.519 --> 09:10:22.760
is that it would just continue to relax even though

2764
09:10:22.800 --> 09:10:30.040
I'm talking. And that's happening with my eyes. Something else

2765
09:10:30.080 --> 09:10:34.680
I noticed is when I started focusing on my eyes,

2766
09:10:35.000 --> 09:10:38.839
that actually almost became They got worse before they got better,

2767
09:10:39.040 --> 09:10:41.519
in a way so that I felt a degree of

2768
09:10:41.720 --> 09:10:48.319
tension growing in my eyes and then disappearing. So I

2769
09:10:48.440 --> 09:10:51.319
think what that was really was just me becoming more

2770
09:10:51.440 --> 09:10:57.559
aware of the tension that was already there that I

2771
09:10:57.800 --> 09:11:02.959
wasn't I wasn't focused noting before, so I wasn't really

2772
09:11:03.720 --> 09:11:21.080
acknowledging it or really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my

2773
09:11:21.239 --> 09:11:25.400
eyes is still continuing to relax, as well as my hands. Actually,

2774
09:11:28.879 --> 09:11:34.279
my hands have got a certain kind of energy, like

2775
09:11:34.519 --> 09:11:39.680
not buzzing, but I can kind of feel a degree

2776
09:11:39.720 --> 09:11:45.639
of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where the tension

2777
09:11:45.760 --> 09:11:57.760
is being released. Maybe that's causing that. The next part,

2778
09:11:57.839 --> 09:11:59.680
I think we should focus on the back of the

2779
09:11:59.800 --> 09:12:04.639
next that's the part which, quite often, well for me,

2780
09:12:05.080 --> 09:12:08.319
holds tension. I don't know about for yourself, but I

2781
09:12:08.400 --> 09:12:15.160
think it's quite a standard place where tension is sometimes held. So,

2782
09:12:17.319 --> 09:12:20.400
and I'm doing exactly what you're doing as you do

2783
09:12:20.519 --> 09:12:24.080
it as well, so I'm telling my body parts to

2784
09:12:24.239 --> 09:12:27.239
relax as well. So if you tell your neck the

2785
09:12:27.360 --> 09:12:29.879
back of your neck, focus on the back of your

2786
09:12:29.959 --> 09:12:37.000
neck and just say relax in your own words, in

2787
09:12:37.080 --> 09:12:40.360
your own tone, in your own voice. You can say

2788
09:12:40.400 --> 09:12:44.279
out loud, or you can just say it to yourself internally.

2789
09:12:45.199 --> 09:12:49.680
But you're focusing and you're saying it literally to the

2790
09:12:49.760 --> 09:12:52.519
back of your neck, as if the back of your

2791
09:12:52.599 --> 09:12:59.519
neck can actually hear what you're saying. So do that now,

2792
09:12:59.720 --> 09:13:04.400
just say relax to back your neck and I'll do

2793
09:13:04.519 --> 09:13:04.879
the same.

2794
09:13:43.720 --> 09:13:43.839
Now.

2795
09:13:43.919 --> 09:13:48.959
What I noticed and you may have had similar thing is,

2796
09:13:49.760 --> 09:13:52.319
even though I was focusing on the back of my neck,

2797
09:13:57.360 --> 09:14:03.959
other parts started to I don't know, showed themselves to

2798
09:14:04.120 --> 09:14:07.480
me or maybe because they want to be relaxed as well.

2799
09:14:07.559 --> 09:14:12.040
But I started noticing the feelings in my shoulders at

2800
09:14:12.120 --> 09:14:17.839
tension in my shoulders and in my upper back. Whether

2801
09:14:17.959 --> 09:14:23.599
that was because my back of my neck was saying, well,

2802
09:14:23.639 --> 09:14:28.599
I'm pretty much okay. It's the other parts that need attention,

2803
09:14:35.000 --> 09:14:38.040
but my low back of my neck is still relaxing.

2804
09:14:39.480 --> 09:14:41.959
But I just became more aware of other parts that

2805
09:14:42.199 --> 09:14:50.839
needed attention that this might happen, and it's not. It

2806
09:14:50.959 --> 09:14:54.400
doesn't mean that it's going wrong. It just means you're

2807
09:14:54.480 --> 09:15:01.120
being notified of more places, but also to feel relaxed.

2808
09:15:04.400 --> 09:15:08.720
So I'm going to focus on my upper back. So

2809
09:15:08.959 --> 09:15:12.599
you can do the same, even if you don't have

2810
09:15:12.760 --> 09:15:18.080
any feelings of tension that are obvious in your upper back.

2811
09:15:19.879 --> 09:15:24.480
If you just focus on your back and the whole

2812
09:15:24.599 --> 09:15:29.360
area from his shoulder blades down to the middle of

2813
09:15:29.440 --> 09:15:33.760
your back that your spine, and with me, it's more

2814
09:15:33.839 --> 09:15:44.279
the shoulder blades more. Yeah, that's the parts that sort

2815
09:15:44.319 --> 09:15:51.040
of given me the nod that it needs relaxing. The

2816
09:15:51.160 --> 09:15:54.639
sounds going to ask that part to relax, and you

2817
09:15:54.720 --> 09:16:20.519
can do the same. Now, relax your upper back. There's

2818
09:16:20.559 --> 09:16:25.360
something strange happened there, and this often happens.

2819
09:16:25.440 --> 09:16:26.360
I've been doing this for.

2820
09:16:29.239 --> 09:16:36.000
Sixteen years or something, and often I'm I'm surprised, but

2821
09:16:36.680 --> 09:16:43.120
amazed really that there can be a feeling. So when

2822
09:16:43.160 --> 09:16:46.440
I was focusing on the back of my neck, my

2823
09:16:46.559 --> 09:16:51.319
upper back was starting to feel quite stressed and in

2824
09:16:51.559 --> 09:16:57.040
need of attention. As soon as I started talking to

2825
09:16:57.199 --> 09:17:01.879
you about my upper back and talking about, you know,

2826
09:17:02.400 --> 09:17:07.360
getting ready to ask the upper back to relax, why

2827
09:17:07.480 --> 09:17:13.120
the back already started to relax. It's almost as if

2828
09:17:13.160 --> 09:17:18.800
it doesn't need to hear the words, just needs intention,

2829
09:17:23.559 --> 09:17:34.919
just needs to be noticed. And that is something that

2830
09:17:35.199 --> 09:17:42.199
often happens in this type of situation, is when you

2831
09:17:42.440 --> 09:17:47.599
start to relax a couple of parts of your body,

2832
09:17:48.680 --> 09:17:53.480
as we've done with our hands, our eyes and eyelids,

2833
09:17:55.279 --> 09:18:02.279
and now back of the neck, top of the back,

2834
09:18:04.199 --> 09:18:07.519
up a back. The rest of the body seems to

2835
09:18:07.760 --> 09:18:16.400
just take notice and decide in its own way to

2836
09:18:16.639 --> 09:18:23.680
start relaxing. Other parts of your body start to just

2837
09:18:25.440 --> 09:18:32.800
become looser. I suppose it's kind of like a bit

2838
09:18:32.839 --> 09:18:37.400
of an avalanche. You know, a little ball starts rolling,

2839
09:18:37.559 --> 09:18:40.239
and before you know it, the whole of your body

2840
09:18:40.440 --> 09:18:52.559
is completely relaxed and can't And if you focus on

2841
09:18:52.680 --> 09:19:05.040
your face, you focus on your eyes, your eyelids, your eyebrows,

2842
09:19:05.279 --> 09:19:14.279
and the muscles around your eyes. Maybe you start to

2843
09:19:14.440 --> 09:19:19.319
notice that your forehead is more relaxed than it was.

2844
09:19:21.360 --> 09:19:26.720
Maybe your face is more relaxed. I would say my

2845
09:19:27.080 --> 09:19:30.919
entire face is a lot more relaxed than it was.

2846
09:19:42.239 --> 09:19:48.000
So we're going to focus now on your shoulders again,

2847
09:19:48.279 --> 09:19:53.239
just like before. Just tell your shoulders and you can

2848
09:19:53.400 --> 09:19:56.639
do them individuity. You can do the right shoulder, left shoulder.

2849
09:19:58.199 --> 09:20:02.440
I just dially do both the same time, and just

2850
09:20:02.639 --> 09:20:06.199
tell your shoulders as you focus on them in your mind,

2851
09:20:07.559 --> 09:20:12.760
focus on them they feel maybe you can see them

2852
09:20:13.239 --> 09:20:23.360
in your mind's eye. Just tell your shoulders to relax.

2853
09:21:00.680 --> 09:21:14.160
I feel as nice as they relax, But do you notice.

2854
09:21:15.879 --> 09:21:22.599
I mean, especially with my back, is the connection between

2855
09:21:22.839 --> 09:21:33.440
the different parts the back, with shoulders, the neck being

2856
09:21:33.559 --> 09:21:38.239
all connected and being such a large part of your body,

2857
09:21:41.199 --> 09:21:49.639
it's alwa's hard to separate them from each other. When

2858
09:21:49.720 --> 09:21:52.360
my lower back is starting to relax on its own,

2859
09:21:58.519 --> 09:22:03.279
maybe I'm going too slow and that could be an

2860
09:22:03.319 --> 09:22:10.720
issue because we all go at different speeds. And the

2861
09:22:10.919 --> 09:22:13.800
idea at the beginning of this recording was for you

2862
09:22:13.959 --> 09:22:28.839
to be able to just say to yourself, relax without

2863
09:22:29.000 --> 09:22:35.279
focusing on any particular part of your body. Because when

2864
09:22:35.360 --> 09:22:45.160
you know that telling your hands to relax and your

2865
09:22:45.360 --> 09:22:54.040
hand relax, you tell your eyelids and your eyes and

2866
09:22:54.239 --> 09:23:05.239
muscles around your eyes and your eyebrows relax and they relax.

2867
09:23:10.959 --> 09:23:22.239
You tell the back of your neck to relax, and

2868
09:23:22.639 --> 09:23:49.959
it relaxes. You tell your upper back to relax, and

2869
09:23:50.239 --> 09:24:13.440
it relaxes. You tell your show is to relax, and

2870
09:24:13.639 --> 09:24:41.400
they relaxed. And you told your hands to relax, they relaxed,

2871
09:24:41.879 --> 09:24:52.839
and they continued to relax. And you told your eyelids,

2872
09:24:55.160 --> 09:25:02.239
the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows to relax, they

2873
09:25:02.319 --> 09:25:17.279
relaxed and continued to relax. When you told the back

2874
09:25:17.360 --> 09:25:20.720
of your neck. Focused on the back of your neck

2875
09:25:24.400 --> 09:25:36.319
and told it to relax. They relaxed and continued to relax.

2876
09:25:44.480 --> 09:25:53.599
When you told your upper back to relax, be relaxed

2877
09:25:54.239 --> 09:26:10.559
and continued to relax. As with your shoulders, you told

2878
09:26:10.599 --> 09:26:18.879
your shoulders to relax, and your shoulders relaxed and continued

2879
09:26:24.000 --> 09:26:24.720
to relax.

2880
09:26:30.400 --> 09:26:35.400
And it's not just that, it's.

2881
09:26:38.040 --> 09:26:42.440
That the rest of your body has also been listening,

2882
09:26:44.160 --> 09:26:49.800
and that relaxation has been spread in So from your

2883
09:26:49.879 --> 09:26:57.480
eyes to relaxation spread to your forehead, round your face,

2884
09:26:57.720 --> 09:27:11.319
into your skin, into your jaw, into the fronts, the

2885
09:27:11.559 --> 09:27:16.800
sides of your neck, all way down your chest and stomach.

2886
09:27:23.480 --> 09:27:26.440
Your relaxed hands and shoulders.

2887
09:27:27.879 --> 09:27:30.879
Meet up through your arms.

2888
09:27:31.319 --> 09:27:37.400
Relaxing your forearms, your upper arms.

2889
09:27:37.760 --> 09:27:56.040
Elbows, your wrists, let you go, your lower bag, your hips,

2890
09:27:56.599 --> 09:28:02.279
buttocks spraying, or just start to relax.

2891
09:28:02.000 --> 09:28:10.199
Or continue even more comfort spreading through your legs.

2892
09:28:15.040 --> 09:28:17.279
All the way down to your.

2893
09:28:17.160 --> 09:28:27.000
Ankles, the tops of your feet, the sight of your feet,

2894
09:28:28.839 --> 09:28:39.720
and the bottoms of your feet relaxing into your toes,

2895
09:28:43.519 --> 09:28:46.040
each toe relaxing.

2896
09:28:49.599 --> 09:28:49.879
Calm.

2897
09:29:05.879 --> 09:29:17.120
And as your body relaxes more, your mind becomes slower,

2898
09:29:22.639 --> 09:29:38.319
more peaceful to the point where if you choose to

2899
09:29:38.519 --> 09:29:56.360
fall asleep, he can easily do that easy drift away

2900
09:30:01.400 --> 09:30:08.040
because there's nothing going on in your mind. Your brain

2901
09:30:08.639 --> 09:30:24.239
is peaceful, your body continues to rise.

2902
09:30:48.040 --> 09:30:48.599
And with that.

2903
09:30:48.879 --> 09:30:55.760
Connection between your body relaxing and the word do you

2904
09:30:56.120 --> 09:31:09.839
say to yourself acts means that you don't need to

2905
09:31:10.000 --> 09:31:15.440
focus on just one part. You can just focus on

2906
09:31:17.480 --> 09:31:42.160
your entire body saying the powerful word who acts. And

2907
09:31:42.360 --> 09:31:57.800
there's those familiar sensations of comfort spreading throughout your body,

2908
09:32:03.559 --> 09:32:23.919
seeing you're calming and heathing every part of your body, heasing, relaxed,

2909
09:32:38.559 --> 09:32:41.959
so that all we need to do that one is

2910
09:32:42.199 --> 09:33:06.199
just tell yourself relax and observe feating completely COMFORTABLEY come.

2911
09:33:18.319 --> 09:34:08.160
So starting now with number twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen

2912
09:34:24.959 --> 09:35:54.120
fIF four thirty too well.

2913

Eighth US.

2915
09:42:31.680 --> 09:43:23.400
US six.

2916
09:44:24.279 --> 09:45:07.720
Y up

2917
09:45:12.599 --> 09:45:12.639
U
