00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:09.160
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason Newland,

2
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:13.640
and this is let me bore you to sleep. Today

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.839
is Monday, the twenty sixth of May.

4
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:27.600
Two thousand and twenty five. It's six fifty five peb ooh.

5
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.439
It's Monday's boring Objects. And today I am going to

6
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:46.880
discuss dog walking. Oh yes, exciting. Did I say oh?

7
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.000
Only listen when you can safely close your eyes. I'm

8
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.560
not sure if I said that or not. I don't

9
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.920
think I did what I have now anyway, check out

10
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.439
my website, which is groovy. I was going to shut

11
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:05.159
the top up my website. All the recordings are on there.

12
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:13.000
There's playlists, there's podcasts, there's links to the different apps

13
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.959
that my podcasts are on. There's a way to contact

14
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.239
me whatever. Lots of different things on there. There's also

15
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.480
a link to my Facebook group, which is Jason Newland's

16
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.959
Boring Group. There's a link to my YouTube channel which

17
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.719
is at Jason Newland, which is now my podcast on YouTube.

18
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.159
So exactly the same recordings as you get on Spotify

19
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.359
or Apple or cast box or wherever. It's all on

20
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.280
YouTube now as well, including the ten hour ones with music.

21
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.280
You know, all this all version or six versions. I

22
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:55.879
got the chroaky voice. I had a one day cold yesterday,

23
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.799
which is weird. I still it's like a I think

24
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.879
it's a weather change in reaction. It has gone from

25
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:14.639
being warm to being cold to being damp. So the

26
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:21.919
last couple of days it's been very damp and very damp.

27
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.000
I guess, I don't know another word to explain it

28
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:34.199
really rainy instead of being dry. So yeah, a little

29
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.560
bit under the weather last couple of days, but feeling

30
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.240
all right generally. Just keep coughing a little bit and

31
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.840
then my voice is fine. Just takes a little bit

32
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:56.960
of lubrication. That's weird, isn't it. So I'm going to

33
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:03.520
start off. I've walked dogs for years and the first

34
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:09.120
time I walked the dog, I was fourteen, and it

35
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:17.479
was misty. The the what was it Saint Bernard or

36
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.759
you may call it a Saint Bernard. You may wrongly

37
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:27.479
call it a Saint Bernard. It's a Saint Bernard, a

38
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:32.960
huge dog. So there's been that one. There's been my

39
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:40.560
other friend's dog who I lived with. Either was my

40
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.879
cousin's dog that I lived with. That was my other

41
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.520
friend's dog I lived with. Then there was the other

42
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.360
friend that friend's dog I lived with, and then it

43
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:55.759
was Vinny, but also Logi downstairs. I was gonna say

44
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.599
I never lived with Logi, but I did, didn't I

45
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.919
for two months, but he used to see him very

46
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.919
regularly for I don't know, six years, however long, however

47
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.800
long he was living downstairs, stayed to take him for

48
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.920
walks and spend a lot of time with him. Lovely dog,

49
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:23.079
really lovely. Apart from other dogs, it's the most gentle dog.

50
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.439
Just ridiculous how gentle and floppy and soppy he was

51
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:40.800
with humans. But with other dogs, Nope, apart from one dog, Finny,

52
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.480
Hinny was the only dog that he liked. Not totally true.

53
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.920
There was a couple of I think he did. He

54
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.439
had a girlfriend another dog that was similar to him,

55
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.879
who get on with but generally did not like other dogs.

56
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:07.360
Loved Vinny Strange, I say, I mean he did Vinnie once.

57
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:16.079
Vinnie and him lived together up here for pretty much December.

58
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:25.560
I think it might have been three months, December, January, February.

59
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.120
It's either the end of January or the end of February,

60
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.399
so it's either two or three months I had him

61
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:36.720
living here, them two together, and they started fighting. They

62
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.920
started arguing with each other, and I think a lot

63
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:47.160
of it was Vinnie trying to boss him around. I mean,

64
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:52.480
Vinnie could have comfortably fitted inside his mouth and gone

65
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:57.920
to sleep. You know, the size difference was ridiculous. He

66
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:03.839
really looked like a gerbil next to it. So I

67
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.000
don't know why. I guess this is Vinnie's home, But

68
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.360
before that, he used to love Vinnie's to love him.

69
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.800
I'm sure he still loves him, but he just used

70
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.800
to absolutely adore him and gets so excited to see

71
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.439
him and try and get into that flat every time

72
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.079
he went downstairs and try and get in there to

73
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.120
see Logi, and Logu tries to get up here to

74
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:37.879
see Vinnie. And then it's weird, actually, because about a

75
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:44.360
couple of months before my friend left, I'd say a

76
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:49.600
couple of months maybe a few months, but Logi went missing.

77
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.279
He just escaped and he run off and he was

78
00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:02.279
gone for about two weeks. That whole time, Vinnie was

79
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.399
pining for him. He was sitting at the front door

80
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:11.839
just waiting, like really kind of pining, which was weird.

81
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.759
But after living here, I mean he did he got

82
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.439
found at a hostel place or whatever and got brought

83
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:26.600
back a rescue place. But when after living together for

84
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:31.199
a couple of months or three months, and Logi went

85
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.879
in fact got his new home, Vinny didn't seem that bothered.

86
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.360
It's weird. It seemed he wasn't celebrating. I mean, it

87
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.720
wasn't like popping off streamers or anything, or dancing, but

88
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.199
he was definitely.

89
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:49.600
That.

90
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.519
He seemed to be happy to have his home back.

91
00:07:53.839 --> 00:08:01.600
But what surprised me is I felt sad at the time.

92
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.240
I couldn't really understand it. I suppose I understand it

93
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.079
now because that was the last that was part of

94
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.000
my friend, wasn't it. I'd lost him, But I didn't,

95
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:14.560
so I didn't really connect him with Logi, even though

96
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.319
there's an obvious connection. It was his dog. So once

97
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:24.560
he was gone, all everything connected to my friend was

98
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:29.800
pretty much gone, apart from the occasional contact with his dad.

99
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:34.840
That's kind of it. So yeah, so I was piling.

100
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.440
I'm the one that was sitting at the front door

101
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:42.399
on the floor piling. Vinnie was in there thinking, oh

102
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.679
what am I going to do about him? I need

103
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:51.120
to distract him. Maybe if I get him some bones. Anyway,

104
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.000
So dog's walking. I thought I talk about dog walking

105
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.639
because I actually forgot it was Monday today. Because there's

106
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:05.080
a bank holiday Monday. It really really feels like a Sunday.

107
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.879
It really feels like a Sunday in a sense of

108
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.720
I've known its bank holiday right from the beginning of

109
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:19.480
the day, or before anyone went to bed last night,

110
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:24.080
and it still felt like a Sunday. Quite often, a

111
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.480
bank holiday feels just like a Monday. It's like just

112
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:33.159
another day. I don't know why it felt like a Sunday.

113
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.879
Thinking about it, I was thinking of last night as

114
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.120
being Saturday. That probably explains it as well, because I

115
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.440
was thinking about what I did last night when last

116
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.440
night I watched the boxing. No, I didn't. That was

117
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:53.360
Saturday night last night. I've got no idea what I did.

118
00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:03.279
I went to bed early pretty much. Yeah, so it's

119
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.480
felt like a Sunday. But it's not. I mean, it's

120
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.399
not a bad thing. I mean, I don't. I've got

121
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.679
no issue with Sundays. It's a relaxing day. Some would

122
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.720
argue all days are relaxing days for me, but you know,

123
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.159
I like to think that I'm doing something with my time. Today,

124
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.440
I actually found a way to stream my so I've

125
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:32.320
got Kindle on my phone, so I opened it up

126
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:36.480
and I found a way to play a book speaking

127
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:42.639
out loud to me. But not only that, I morod

128
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:46.000
it onto the TV so I could read along at

129
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.360
the same time. So the voice is a you know,

130
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.679
it's very robotic, so it's not like a decent voice,

131
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.720
but reading it and because the screen's big on the TV,

132
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.720
I could read it much easier than reading a book.

133
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.759
I just can't just prince too small now for books

134
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.200
for me until I get my eyes tested and get

135
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:17.120
them get better glasses. So the I think I spent

136
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:22.480
about three hours reading a book, and occasionally I kind

137
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.879
of closed my eyes and just listen to it. Then

138
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.639
I go back and read it. And it's a book

139
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.679
I've read before. It's a book I've already got on

140
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.440
the shelf as well. But I also purchased it on

141
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:41.080
Kindle about eleven years ago. It's a long time ago.

142
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:47.039
And eleven years from now, what will I be. I

143
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:58.720
will be sixty five. I'll be sixty five, I'll be

144
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:06.600
two years off of retire. Wow, eleven years so thirteen

145
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:15.320
years away, fourteen fifty six seven, I'll be nearing retirement age. No, no,

146
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:21.519
even less. So when I'm sixty five, I'll be fifty

147
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:29.320
five in August, So twelve years from August i'll be retired.

148
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.960
I'll be retired age.

149
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:34.960
Wow.

150
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.080
I'll be thinking. And this isn't really related to dog walking,

151
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.000
and probably most of the things I talk about during

152
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.559
this recording will also not be related to dog walking.

153
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.480
For some reason, but I started to have a little,

154
00:12:55.039 --> 00:13:00.080
a little feeling towards maybe it would be nice to

155
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.919
have to be in a relationship, to have a girlfriend.

156
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.799
I know, girlfriend might not be the right term anymore.

157
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.919
Partners probably the best, probably the correct term now, I

158
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:22.759
don't know, but relationship, I'm just thinking maybe. And I

159
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:28.240
kind of started to notice women a bit more just

160
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.279
I don't know. I've not really had much interest in

161
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:37.240
women for ages, not really, not really, kind of just

162
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:43.840
I don't know. Maybe it's the summer. Maybe maybe the

163
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:48.960
sun's ignited some kind of testosterone in me. I don't know.

164
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.639
Maybe maybe one of my hormones has regrown, because I

165
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:57.519
think most of my hormones have gone, but maybe one's resurfaced,

166
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:08.639
and I'm starting to I don't know, it's different. It's

167
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:13.399
no desperation. I've been desperate in the past. Blimey, it's

168
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.519
a long time ago. But I used to be like

169
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:22.159
really like a pening dog, like really just I don't

170
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:23.879
know why I did that impression of a pening dog.

171
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.240
We all know what a dog sounds like when it pens.

172
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.120
I don't know why I did that. I wasn't literally

173
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:34.759
walking around and going, what's your name? I'm Jason. Wasn't

174
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.120
quite that bad. It wasn't much better than that though,

175
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.799
never any good at chat up blinds. I just thought

176
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:47.480
he was silly. You know. It's just if you make

177
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.840
someone laugh. They were like, you never found out to

178
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:55.440
be the case. It's like, it makes someone laugh, then

179
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.679
you're in the friend zone. It's like instantly it's easy

180
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.879
to be a friend zone by loads of female friends.

181
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.240
Yeah.

182
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:14.120
Anyway, So I've just been thinking about that, and I

183
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:20.879
just noticed that I'm starting to maybe I don't know

184
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:25.519
if I'm getting older and wrinklier and all those things

185
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.320
that starting to think.

186
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:33.279
Hmm, you know, I know there's going to come a

187
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:34.759
time when I look in the mirror and I will

188
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:39.919
not recognize myself, or there was going to come a

189
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:40.480
time when.

190
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:45.519
I don't even look in the mirror anymore. And you know,

191
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:49.879
I don't know. I'm not sure that will happen, but

192
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.879
I guess that possibly will happen. I've seen many people

193
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.200
that seem to be in that situation where they're just

194
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.120
I don't want to be I want to kind of

195
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.559
there's not much to work with, but I'd kind of

196
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:09.120
do my best with what there is, you know, try

197
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:16.200
and should I die? Should I die my not my pubes,

198
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.879
my beard? Should I die my beard? I die it gray?

199
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.679
That be weird, wouldn't it? What weird thing to do?

200
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:31.200
Because then someone could maybe ask someone out and I think,

201
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.360
no because you're too old, and I say, no, I'm not.

202
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.879
And I can just wipe it off, say look I'm

203
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:44.759
only partially gray. But then I don't know, yes's not

204
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.360
really die, is it? That would be coloring? I suppose

205
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:55.679
perhaps chalk, like you know, blackboard chalk. I could like

206
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.080
just push that into my beard and that look like

207
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.960
I've got a white bear. And then I said, is

208
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.000
it because I'm a bit old? Said yeah? Just I said,

209
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.319
don't worry, And I pull out a what a wet

210
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:12.799
wipe from my pants and just like, look, it's look,

211
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:17.920
I'm not I'm not completely gray, And now I might say, well,

212
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.799
you are actually still gray, so no, I'm not. It's chalk.

213
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.200
And then I go home and I realize, okay, I

214
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:30.640
was I'm already gray. Some part of me is not

215
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:35.160
gray because I shaved my head and I shaved my

216
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.400
I trimmed my beard the other day, and there was

217
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:47.720
clumps of dark hair there. There was There wasn't from

218
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:51.200
me bum so it's definitely from my face of my head.

219
00:17:52.440 --> 00:18:01.599
So I did it. Oh, okay, let's forget Yeah, right, okay,

220
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:11.759
let's move on. So I think, oh, I got caught.

221
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.680
This is really bad. Okay, I'm not just gonna help it.

222
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:20.480
I was talking to a lady today when I was

223
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:26.599
walking with me, you know then, and I think I

224
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.079
got caught looking down the top. I'm sorry. I didn't

225
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:31.759
mean to. I didn't mean to get caught. I mean

226
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.200
she didn't actually specifically say what you're doing looking down

227
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:42.559
my top, but she did ask me why I was

228
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:51.359
standing on the ladder, So it's kind of I don't know.

229
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.440
It's hard to I mean, I don't know. It's hard

230
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:57.480
to know because you can't just like question it oh,

231
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:01.200
did you catch me looking down your top? And she

232
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.440
said no, but now I know you were. I said, no,

233
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:08.119
you don't. I'm just saying, okay, you do, really, don't you. Oh,

234
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:12.160
But of course I wasn't, and I'm just making this up.

235
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.400
Of course she was looking trying to look down my top,

236
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:22.839
and I was offended, like, leave my bosoms alone, they're mine.

237
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:28.000
I think my.

238
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.359
Chest is coming along. I think I've definitely I seem

239
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:35.240
to be flattering the tummy now that I was. I

240
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:38.640
say that, and I've just grabbed a big massive Yeah.

241
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.319
Maybe when I lay down, I am. When I lay down,

242
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:49.240
I'm quite slim. Yeah, when I hang upside down, I'm taller.

243
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.480
I mean it depends, well, you know, sort of do

244
00:19:52.519 --> 00:20:03.960
with gravity. I suppose, isn't it the dog walk in

245
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:11.480
I remember saying to someone that's had this. I think

246
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:19.519
I was sort of kind of semulating this lady. And

247
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:24.799
so I'm just outside it's a sunny day, and she said,

248
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.960
why looking at my top? I said, what do you mean?

249
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.440
Said?

250
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.839
You're staring at the top? Is it something on it?

251
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:40.400
What like she's spilled ice cream or something. I don't know,

252
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:43.119
what do you mean? I'm not looking at your top.

253
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:45.000
She said, I can see you're looking at my top.

254
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.039
I said, you can't see me look at your top

255
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.720
because I've got sunglasses. When they're not they're acting like

256
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.920
normal glasses. And I said, you cannot see my eyes

257
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:59.079
through these. She said, yes, I can. I said you can't.

258
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.119
Why are you Indian? You can? You can't see where

259
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.359
I'm looking because these are shades. When it's sunny, they're

260
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.920
turning into shades. You cannot see my eyes. She said,

261
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.079
I can see your eyes clearly. I can see exactly

262
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:16.039
where you're looking. I said, no, you can't. So she

263
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.240
she pulled a person pulled off, didn't pulled off. She

264
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.839
pulled someone to the side. Another pedestrian said, can you

265
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:25.759
tell me that you can see his eyes? Can't you know?

266
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:28.799
And she said, yeah, you can see her way he's looking. Yah,

267
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:31.359
he's staring at your chest. I said, I'm not staring

268
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.680
at staring at mine now, and I'm not I'm not

269
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:38.200
staring at anyone's chair. You can't see my eyes. They've

270
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.720
got I specifically bought them so that you can't see

271
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.440
where I'm looking. And she said I thought it was

272
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.960
because of your eyesight. I said, yeah, it's because of

273
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.319
my eyesight as well. Imagin't you know I won't wear

274
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:52.839
glasses if I didn't need them, She said, But you

275
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.319
said the act of light was because you've got the

276
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:01.880
that macro degeneration in the fat and you have to

277
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.359
be careful your eyes so that you know, you have

278
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:06.319
to protect your eyes from the sun so that it

279
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.519
doesn't progress any further, like with your dad and your

280
00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:13.720
nan and your other family members. And I said, yeah, yeah,

281
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:18.200
that that is the reason. But at the same time,

282
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:23.839
I actually was thinking that no one could see my eyes.

283
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:27.160
She said, yeah, we can see your eyes. Someone else

284
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.400
passed it. Yeah, I can see them. Stop looking at

285
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:37.079
my chest and carried on walking. So it turns out

286
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.240
and I start asking people that I know, can you

287
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.960
see my eyes when I've got my glasses on and

288
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:47.640
it's sunny. Yeah, I've asked everyone, and everyone can see

289
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:58.599
my eyes. So for twelve years, twelve summers, twelve years,

290
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.720
I've been walking around thinking people can't see where I'm looking,

291
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:04.920
and they've all been able to see where I'm looking.

292
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.920
My question is can I get a refund? Can I

293
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:20.039
get my money back? I just when I get myney glasses,

294
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:27.160
I may just actually buy some proper sunglasses with my

295
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:34.119
prescription in them, because that's ridiculous. I should be able

296
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:40.599
to have the freedom to I'm just.

297
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:48.039
Yeah.

298
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:53.440
Anyway, so walking the first dog I walked was I

299
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.079
made all up? Of course, the first dog I walked

300
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:04.200
was I have any friends with dogs at school? I

301
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.640
don't think I did. I don't think I had any dogs,

302
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.359
dog friends, friends with dogs, dogs that lived in a

303
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:19.000
friend's house. No, I didn't. No, I had a friend

304
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.440
that had two cats. And there were those board cats,

305
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.319
the ones with no cut clothes on, you know, the

306
00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:29.640
ones that are just basically naked. And it looked like

307
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.640
the kind of things that you see hanging up in

308
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:38.200
a tie a tire market. I wasn't sure there were

309
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:44.680
cats or bats. They're lovely cats, buy it looked like statues, though,

310
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:50.839
because they just used to sit there really still. And

311
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.119
please don't shout out. We know what you mean by statues.

312
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.880
Statue sit still. When people say you see it was

313
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:57.799
like a statue, we know that that means. It means

314
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:01.559
it was very still. All right, BlimE me. Just because

315
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.799
bank holiday, I don't have to be all frizzy with

316
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:10.000
me or frizzy and fuzzy and fizzy and blippy blippy

317
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:19.000
blue blue. So I'm walking Misty. I talked about Misty

318
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:21.680
the other day and she she used to drag me around.

319
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:24.839
I could not control her. She was way too big,

320
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:32.119
way too strong, no training, and it was such a

321
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:34.839
shame because she's a beautiful dog, or dogs are beautiful,

322
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:40.119
but she's she was lovely. She just couldn't. I was

323
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.640
scared of her, to be fair, she was too big,

324
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:47.160
twice my size. I mean, she's probably bigger than I

325
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:52.119
am now. Maybe doesn't weigh as much as I weigh,

326
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.880
but she she may well have done. She was a

327
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:59.839
good twelve stone, maybe fourteen stone, maybe even more. Maybe

328
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.000
you might even way more than I do now, because

329
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:08.559
she was big, big dog. And you can literally put

330
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.400
her on the scales and just see the doll just

331
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:16.400
moving slowly that you can see in real time, see

332
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:20.240
her grow in real time. It was like watching the moon.

333
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.240
You can see the moon move if you just watch it.

334
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:26.079
I mean, technically, if you watch anything long enough, you

335
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.279
can see it move, can't you. If you watch a

336
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:32.039
mountain long enough, you can see the mountain dissolving and corroding.

337
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:34.240
But you'd have to be a lie for sort of

338
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:39.640
millions of years or thousands of years. But if you

339
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.160
were alive for thousands of years or millions of years,

340
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.440
it wouldn't be the best use of your time, would it.

341
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.319
But then you might argue, yeah, but if you're going

342
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:50.960
to live forever, what does a couple of million years mean?

343
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:58.799
Suppose I did think that if I'd like to live forever,

344
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:05.160
not for any other reason other than I just want

345
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:08.799
to see everyone I care about die, No, wow, as

346
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.839
a joke, I want to see I'd like to be

347
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:16.319
able to read every book. Not every book, There's going

348
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:18.200
to be a lot of really bad books. But I'd

349
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.480
like to read every book that I want to read,

350
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.680
see every movie that I want to see. Do ever,

351
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:30.400
study every subject that I want to study. So maybe

352
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:36.839
if I wanted to go into I don't know, philosophy

353
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.319
and just study everything and decide I'm going to spend

354
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:46.640
the next fifty years or one hundred years study in philosophy,

355
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.400
then in a hundred years time, I'm going to study

356
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:53.200
everything to do with space. So I'm going to you know,

357
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:57.039
it's like I'm really going to become good at one

358
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:02.400
thing or something, because earlier today I was trying to

359
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.799
think of something that I was good at, and I

360
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:10.400
couldn't think of anything. Meant just watching television class as

361
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:22.839
a talent. I don't know. So so Misty was Yeah,

362
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:26.880
it was I couldn't take a dog. I couldn't take

363
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.119
her for a walk, she was too big, couldn't do it.

364
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:38.680
And the second dog I took for a walk would

365
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:45.279
have been my friend who had lived with in London,

366
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.000
and he would leave. Well, there was a time when

367
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:51.880
I was at home and he was at work, and

368
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:54.480
there's other times when he'd lead me looking after the

369
00:28:54.559 --> 00:29:01.359
dog while he went away. So when I had when

370
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.319
I when I didn't have the dog, the dog was naughty.

371
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:07.960
When he was there, He'd let the dog do anything

372
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:10.599
he wants, and he was naughty when I had him

373
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:15.359
for a week on my own. I trained him, I

374
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.240
had him walking around the park with me, and he

375
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.279
never ever bothered other dogs, didn't bark at them, nothing.

376
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.039
As soon as his dad got back, he turned into

377
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:31.200
a terror again. And I also realized that, you know,

378
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.279
when I first met him, he was barking at me

379
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:40.039
for about three hours. After I moved in, I realized

380
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.160
that he was a scaredy cat. He wasn't brave at all.

381
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.680
He was not even a bully. He was just scared

382
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.880
and he didn't have Yeah, he didn't have any kind

383
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:01.799
of he'd bark out other dogs, but he didn't. Me did. Unfortunately.

384
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:05.640
He was a bit bity as well, but he behaved

385
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:09.920
himself with me, And you know, he used to sleep

386
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:13.160
in the bed with me, and when when his dad

387
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:14.720
wasn't there, he slept in the bed with his dad.

388
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.400
But when his dad wasn't there, he's sleeping the bed

389
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.240
with me. And you know, I got on really well

390
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:24.559
with him. And I had a girlfriend. It's hard to

391
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:30.119
believe that I did, and he loved her. I thought

392
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.359
he was going to eat her because she wanted to

393
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.680
come back to my place, and I thought, there's a

394
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.160
good chance he's going to really bite her and attack her,

395
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:44.880
but at the same time might get some sex. It

396
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:50.640
was like, was out loud, no, I mean I kind

397
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:53.599
of you know, it was like, I come back to

398
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:58.559
your place, so okay, But I'm thinking, is he going

399
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:02.359
to go crazy? I mean I could handle him, so

400
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.119
I could get him into a different room and stuff.

401
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:06.000
But I really thought he was going to go for

402
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:09.119
her and maybe she'd be wouldn't want to come into

403
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:13.200
the house because he was a proper barker, like really

404
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:21.319
like a little puppy with her, a little puppy. Instantly,

405
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.079
as soon as she walked in, he was laying on

406
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:29.440
his back so she could rub his tummy. He was

407
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:33.839
cutting up to her. Never met her before, absolutely loved her.

408
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.440
Wouldn't let me in the bed though he was in

409
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:44.039
the bed with her, wouldn't let me anywhere near her.

410
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.839
So that relationship didn't last long. Dane ended up getting

411
00:31:49.839 --> 00:32:01.519
married but had kids I think fourteen. Honestly, he loved her.

412
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:08.400
I didn't could not get my head around that. So

413
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:20.200
what else? And she was ginger, so I says him.

414
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:25.000
And then the next one was my I moved into

415
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:28.799
this house and there was a dog there. Oh, she

416
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.039
was so cute. She's only a puppy when I moved in,

417
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:36.119
so I used to take her for walks. No, no,

418
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.440
she wasn't living there to start with. I. So the

419
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.920
next one I lived with was my other friend. He

420
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:49.119
had a dog, and she always slept in a bed

421
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:54.240
with him, right under the covers, like never on top,

422
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.960
right under the cover, like really, and she she was

423
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.559
she wouldn't leave him alone, so she did didn't really

424
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.079
pay me much attention at all the whole time I

425
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:07.559
was living there with him, because she just adored him.

426
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:14.039
But I used to take her for walk sometimes and

427
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:17.519
if I was looking, because sometimes he'd go, he'd go abroad,

428
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:20.799
go to see family, and I'd look after her for

429
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.519
the weekend or for the week or whatever. So I'd

430
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:25.240
have to take her out and stuff. And she was

431
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:31.960
good as gold, really good, good dog. Used to lick

432
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:37.960
my feet, which I like. That was nice. And then

433
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:43.920
she was quite cuddly. She liked to cuddle as well.

434
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.960
And then the third dog, no, the fourth dog was

435
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.599
when I moved in to my cousins for the second time,

436
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:57.079
and she had a puppy this time when I moved back,

437
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:03.880
and I took the puppy for walks, long walks, and

438
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:11.559
I needed that. I so needed something, you know. It's

439
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:15.000
quite a difficult period. It was back in ninety seven,

440
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:22.920
summer ninety seven, and she really helped, this little dog

441
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.519
help me. And the cat there was a cat there

442
00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:30.559
as well that it took to me like no other

443
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.239
animals really taken to me before that. She took to

444
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.599
me so love me. This cat she scratched at my

445
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:43.039
bedroom door to come in, and she'd climb crawl up

446
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:46.599
and down my back and sometimes I say, well, let

447
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:50.719
me lay down first, and she, you know, it's a

448
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.519
bit less less scratchy when I was lying down, to

449
00:34:54.559 --> 00:35:02.159
be fair. But she's just so the peacefulness, the calmness

450
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:07.159
of the purr and and she just took to me.

451
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.320
I don't know why she was fully grown cat. It's

452
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:13.880
not like she was a puppy or anything but or

453
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:18.960
a kit and mother BlimE me, but this this dog

454
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.920
so cute, one of this little and I kind of

455
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:31.599
I lived there for four years and I didn't really

456
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:33.639
take it out for many walks later on, but I

457
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:36.719
did like early on, but it wasn't it wasn't my dog,

458
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:42.760
so she was. It was a girl as well, so

459
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:48.280
she was definitely a mummies girl, like she's waited for

460
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:51.920
a mum to come home. So yeah, she was.

461
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:52.280
She was.

462
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:54.000
She was a lovely kid, lovely girl.

463
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:56.280
And then.

464
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.960
Then LOGI I suppose is the next one. He's the

465
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.960
next dog, because I haven't had any other dogs live

466
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:12.519
in in I'm trying to think of all the different

467
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:18.000
places I've lived since then, since London, since that house.

468
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:21.119
That house, Yeah, that room that I lived in there,

469
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:36.119
there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

470
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.280
So this is the tenth place that I've lived in

471
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:46.519
since there, and I left there in two thousand and one.

472
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:51.119
So yeah, I've lived in ten places since two thousand

473
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:57.320
and one, but I've been in this place for ten years.

474
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:02.440
So I lived in nine different places from two thousand

475
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:16.199
and one to twenty fourteen or twenty fifteen. Mm, yeah,

476
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:19.000
I think I've got all the places. I lose track

477
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:23.159
a little bit. I try and remember I kind of roughly, yeah,

478
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:29.800
got it mapped in my brain. So I guess Logi

479
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:35.079
was the first dog four since two thousand and one,

480
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:41.400
and when I got addicted from that place, so Logi

481
00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:46.480
was probably i'd say six years ago, maybe even seven

482
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:49.800
years ago, but it's hard to kind of really pinpoint

483
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:53.880
the year. So my friend got LOGI moved in. I

484
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:59.400
saw him nearly every day, lovely dog and apart from

485
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:03.480
a bother dog, but he was so excited. He'd come

486
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:06.599
upstairs and they'd love coming in here, and he'd chuck

487
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:10.400
stuff all around the place, like balls and bones, and

488
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:19.000
it's because Andre lived here, so he get excited. But

489
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:22.320
he didn't like Andre. He didn't dislike him as in

490
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.360
being aggressive. He was scared of Andre because Andre used

491
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:31.079
to come and bite him. It's true. And even though

492
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:37.079
bear in mind the size of Logi compared to Andre,

493
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:44.840
who was tiny compared to Vinnie, you know, Logi was

494
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:51.559
petrified of him, and Andre had no fear, like zero fear.

495
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:56.320
He would start He would start a fight with an elephant. Honestly,

496
00:38:56.400 --> 00:39:01.639
he didn't care. It wasn't scared of anything. And he

497
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:04.800
kept trying to buy it Logi's balls. I'm not even

498
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.559
joking he did. He just kept so Logi would be

499
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:12.239
like all just lay on his back and and Andre

500
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:17.840
would creep up. It's like I had to grab it

501
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:23.599
and like stop it because there's I don't think there's

502
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:27.079
probably a male on the planet that can watch that

503
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.239
and not just like no, and I'm kind of that

504
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:33.639
that's just no, leave that part of the body alone.

505
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:38.119
Just just no, no, no buying, no punching, just no kicking,

506
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:43.639
just just leave it alone. So leave it be, Andre,

507
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:47.400
leave it be. So I used to have to stop him,

508
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:51.679
but Logi would hide, he'd run and hide, but at

509
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:53.920
the same time he'd run in looking for him. Because

510
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:55.559
he loved him, but at the same time he was

511
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:59.119
scared of him. So he liked to play and they'd

512
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.920
play like a run around and stuff. But as soon

513
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:06.719
as Andre got a little bit rough, Logan didn't like it.

514
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:16.719
But not once did Logi ever ever growl or show

515
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:21.480
any kind of hostility towards Andrea. Ever, when he could

516
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:24.760
have literally swallowed him by accident, you know, if he

517
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:28.239
wanted to, if he could have just accidentally eaten him,

518
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:32.639
like maybe he was just eating a I don't know,

519
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:35.599
eating some bacon off the carpet. I don't know why

520
00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:38.760
bacon would be on a carpet and then just Onrea part,

521
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.159
and he just managed to eat him by accidents. But no,

522
00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:49.960
never happened. This was Andrea's. Andrea was the boss of

523
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:53.440
this place in the same way that Vini's the boss

524
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:59.559
of this place. But I think in some ways Andrea

525
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:03.800
was even all the boss. I do wonder how they

526
00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:07.960
would have got on them too, Vinnie and Andrea together.

527
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:10.239
I know I'm never going to know him I but

528
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:17.599
it does make me wonder how would they have Because

529
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:20.519
you've got Andre, who was not scared of anything, but

530
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.199
you've also got a little dog that he has got

531
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:31.000
that hunting instinct for little animals, and he also doesn't

532
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:35.320
back down, so it would be yeah, I don't know

533
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:38.960
if it would be a particularly good match. I think

534
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:42.679
it'd be fine if Vinnie was a puppy, because it

535
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:46.119
would know no different. You know, Andre had always been

536
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:51.400
there and he'd love him. But coming in at ten

537
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:54.960
months old, I don't know. I mean, he was still

538
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:58.039
technically like a puppy, I guess, but ten months old,

539
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:01.760
it's not really a puppy. Is that he's a toddler?

540
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:07.960
I guess at that age. Turned three at the end

541
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:14.000
of February. You believe it. I got him at ten

542
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:19.000
months old. Now he's three years, three months old. I

543
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:28.880
don't understand. It got so quick, so quick. I can't

544
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:36.760
believe he's now ninety five. So really, the most dog

545
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:41.280
walking I do is with Finny, like I not obviously

546
00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:43.800
you say, well, yeah, he's a dog. I don't mean

547
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:49.679
just now, but ever I used to take I used

548
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:53.639
to go to Nottingham and my friend had a dog there.

549
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.280
That's what I forgot about this. My dog had a friend.

550
00:42:56.519 --> 00:43:00.400
My friend had a dog, rather lovely dog, and I

551
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:03.519
should take him. I think he was a greyhound and

552
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:13.800
I should take him for walks and that was cool,

553
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:20.159
you know, he was a cool dog. But yeah, so

554
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:23.159
I forgot about that. So he had a dog. Also

555
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:26.440
also also also I did go on a holiday with

556
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:31.320
a friend who also had a dog, and I used

557
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:33.239
to take her for a little walks because we went

558
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:41.199
to corn Wall corn Wall during the lockdown I think

559
00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:47.440
it was two thousand and twenty two, twenty one, maybe

560
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:56.119
twenty one, yeah, twenty twenty one, and the everything was

561
00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:59.599
half closed. It was still it wasn't in full lockdown,

562
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:05.000
but there's so much stuff wasn't opening, including a pub

563
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:07.599
that was closing at six o'clock in the evening or

564
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:11.800
seven o'clock. What pub closes at seven o'clock in the evening.

565
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:16.960
And this was on a site full of holiday homes

566
00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:25.039
which weren't very busy for some reason. And so I

567
00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:27.920
took her for some walks and stuff, which is nice.

568
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:30.239
I think it was the first time I'd ever picked

569
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:34.760
dog poo up never, never, never picked dog poo up

570
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:39.679
before until I picked andres poo up in the past,

571
00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:43.159
but that dog poo never done dog poo before. Whenever

572
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:46.079
I walked a dog in the past, I just and

573
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:49.199
that's wrong. But back then there was no. It wasn't

574
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.079
a legal thing in a bag. So it's a legal

575
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:57.679
a legal requirement now, but you know, in the nineties

576
00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:01.840
and stuff, it wasn't. And I just it's not my dog,

577
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:06.280
not picking up, not to her. But yeah, I would

578
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:09.239
wouldn't be like that now because I'm now technically an

579
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:18.199
adult technically. And my friend's dog ran ran away. She

580
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:21.280
ran out of the house in this like holiday place.

581
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:26.559
So my friend's screaming, come back, Daisy, Rosie days Daisy.

582
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:31.920
So I'm like, I'm running after her. It's a little dog.

583
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:34.800
I'm like, I don't want it to run in the road.

584
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:38.519
You know, obviously she's a lovely dog. She's running. It's like,

585
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:42.320
I think it's turned into a game because I'm chasing her.

586
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:46.239
She's got this big, fat, wobbly thing running. Well said,

587
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:48.280
I'm going to use the word running very vaguely on

588
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:54.639
this one. And I end up falling over and toppling

589
00:45:54.719 --> 00:46:01.400
and rolling and all over the place. And it's amazing

590
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:04.079
how many people appear when you fall over in public.

591
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:08.440
Suddenly there was like all the neighbors were on their

592
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:15.039
grass outside their holiday homes, laughing, even a dog stopped

593
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:18.400
to have a laugh. That's how she got caught, like

594
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.280
you know, her friend my friends who managed to get

595
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:27.320
her because she was rolling around laughing at me. Now

596
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.840
I was in pain. You know. This is when I

597
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:35.840
was heavier than I am now, So I was you know,

598
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:39.039
one hundred and two kilos or whatever, maybe a little

599
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:42.559
bit more, so i'd like proper when I fell over,

600
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:48.239
I was bruising myself. I wasn't bruising myself as I

601
00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:52.840
was falling, but the fall bruised you know me, and

602
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:54.679
you know a little bit of a limp for the

603
00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:59.920
rest of the holiday. To be fair, it was a

604
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:04.559
little bit put on because laughing they laughing at her

605
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:07.480
just annoyed me a little bit. So you know, I'm hurt.

606
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:13.039
I'm hurt here. I've hurt my leg. I've hurt my leg.

607
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.880
And she said you haven't, have you? I said, yeah,

608
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:20.079
I have. We'll stand up. Then I said, I'm struggling

609
00:47:20.119 --> 00:47:23.840
to so can she still stop laughing? She said, no,

610
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:27.039
that's fine, I can't help it. You said, a look

611
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.599
like what you mean? Look at it's my leg. See

612
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:33.719
it's there, it's my leg hasn't fallen off. It's still

613
00:47:33.719 --> 00:47:38.199
there and he said, can you just walk? And can you?

614
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:43.559
I said, yeah, but it hurts. She's still laughing, like, really,

615
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:47.119
you don't understand it hurts a lot. So I decided

616
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.880
to limp, thinking that I might gain a little bit

617
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:55.719
of sympathy. It didn't work, but it did quite down

618
00:47:55.760 --> 00:48:00.639
the laughter a little bit. So for the rest of

619
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:05.719
the week, I'm limping, but my leg's fine, but I

620
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.760
kin'd of have to keep it going. It's a bit like,

621
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:14.360
you know, when you pretend to be a vegetarian, or

622
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:20.199
when I pretended to be interested in astronomy when I

623
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:23.639
was a kid and end up having six years worth

624
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:29.400
of books and stuff every Christmas and every Birthday something

625
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:33.480
to do with astronomy. And I had no interest in astronomy.

626
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:37.320
You know. All it was is I was just spying

627
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:41.679
on my next door neighbor sunbathing and through the binoculars,

628
00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:43.519
my dad's binoculars, and he said, what are you doing.

629
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:46.559
I said, I'm trying to see the stars And he said,

630
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:57.920
all this daytime, this is ridiculous. I said, I've always

631
00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:01.320
wanted to see I said, I can't see them. He said,

632
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:03.320
you don't really look as directly into the sun either,

633
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:08.000
because that could really cause problems for your eyes. I said, oh, okay,

634
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.440
I'm glad you got him in time. You really are

635
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:14.920
the best daddy. He said, okay, So you're interested in stars,

636
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.320
he said? He said yeah. He said, you sure you're

637
00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:20.239
not just looking at that the next door neighbor's sunbathing.

638
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:25.119
I said, where who? Oh? No, I didn't didn't see

639
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:29.440
her there rubbing oil. And no, I didn't didn't see it. No,

640
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:33.519
I had no idea. He said, okay, So if you

641
00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:36.480
were interested in the stars, why were you pointing towards

642
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.599
the garden next door. I said, I was just just

643
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:44.679
getting ready because the binoculars are so heavy, because I'm

644
00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:48.440
only little, and you're so big and strong, and you know,

645
00:49:48.559 --> 00:49:50.679
you can hold them with one hand, but I'm struggling

646
00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:53.159
to hold them with two. I mean, they weren't nearly

647
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:55.360
as big as my head, to be fair, and I'm

648
00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:58.239
struggling to look up. You know, what I really need

649
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:02.559
is a telescope. And he said okay. He took the

650
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:09.159
binoculars away. He said, I left them, and he went

651
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:11.679
to the next room. And I don't know what he

652
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:17.480
was doing, but I heard some weird noises. But he

653
00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:21.800
got me a telescope. I really didn't think anything was

654
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:25.519
coin of it got me a telescope. And then from

655
00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:31.360
then on, every Christmas, every Birthday, an atlas of the stars,

656
00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:36.960
a big picture of the moon, the history of telescopes.

657
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:42.159
Books that I couldn't even understand, Like every three words,

658
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:45.440
I didn't know what the word meant. I mean that's

659
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:51.679
pretty much most books, really, but especially dictionaries to Saurus,

660
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:59.800
what a stupid name. So I really just like, you know,

661
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:03.519
it's a little bit like there's not really anything like

662
00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:06.719
this at all, but you know, when you offer someone

663
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:11.599
I did this today, right, This is what I was

664
00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:15.480
going to talk about with Vinnie. He stole he stole

665
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:20.280
a ball. I was talking to this neighbor. She's not

666
00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:22.400
like a neighbor neighbor. She's a dog walker, lives up

667
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:25.199
the road. And she said, oh, I'm going to do

668
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:29.039
that later, and she pulled it to the wall, so

669
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:31.599
she had like a wall in front of her driveway

670
00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:34.280
with I said, what you're going to do to it?

671
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:40.280
She said, I'm going to dig up the all the weeds.

672
00:51:41.639 --> 00:51:43.320
I said, what are you going to use a streamer

673
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:45.719
or something? She said, no, I'm just going to he's

674
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:49.679
going to pull them up with my hands. I said,

675
00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:53.639
that hurt my back. He said, how how's me pulling

676
00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:56.400
up with my hands going to hurt your back? I said,

677
00:51:56.440 --> 00:51:57.960
I mean if I was going to do it, it would

678
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:04.000
hurt my back. She said, you are for him? I said,

679
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:04.840
you want me to do it?

680
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:05.239
Oh?

681
00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:08.039
Thank you. It's like, how the hell did that happen?

682
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:12.119
And I said, I can't bend over and do it

683
00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:16.079
because I got my back. It's just it's going to

684
00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:19.119
cause problems, so I can't. You know, But if you've

685
00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:22.280
got a streamer or a what do you call it,

686
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:27.280
where those things where you can fly mo or whatever

687
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:29.639
they're called. She said, yeah, I've got one in the garden.

688
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:33.199
I said, if you really, she said no. I said,

689
00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:34.559
why do you say you got one in the garden

690
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:36.480
fall Then she said, I thought it'd be better for

691
00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:40.440
your story when you tell it on the podcast, because

692
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:42.880
you know, not having one that's pretty much brings it

693
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:46.639
to the end, doesn't it. I said, okay. She says

694
00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:48.119
she would just pretend that I do have one so

695
00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:52.920
we can make the story more interesting. I said, okay.

696
00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:55.400
So we went into a guard into the shed, got

697
00:52:55.400 --> 00:53:00.559
a fly mo atatly touched for years. I'm talking. She

698
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:06.280
didn't even know if it worked anymore, and you know

699
00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:10.639
it needed batteries. That's how old it was. It had

700
00:53:10.679 --> 00:53:13.480
gray hairs. I don't know that. M doesn't make sense,

701
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:17.800
do it? And I said, well, I kind of know

702
00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:20.639
how these things work. He said, how long is it

703
00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:25.559
since you use one? I said that I was trying

704
00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:33.239
to think back, so it's only about thirty years I saw.

705
00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.159
She said, is that all? I said, Yeah, that is

706
00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:41.199
a bit long, isn't it. She said yep, especially when

707
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:44.280
you're waiting in a queue, which is a bit weird

708
00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:49.880
thing to say. And I just said, well, we can

709
00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:53.400
trust we can test it out. I know roughly how

710
00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:57.199
to get the bit of string plastic thing out and

711
00:53:57.239 --> 00:53:59.559
then we'll plug it in. She got an extension lead

712
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:03.320
and I ended up doing it. So it's one of

713
00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:08.239
those problems where this has happened to me before I

714
00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:14.639
made an empty offer. It happened years ago. You know,

715
00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:18.599
someone was saying I'm going to move. I said that

716
00:54:18.679 --> 00:54:23.400
what you're doing this weekend? We're moving home. Before I

717
00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:26.679
knew it, the wrong part of my brain said, do

718
00:54:26.719 --> 00:54:36.519
you need a hand? Oh brilliant, Thanks and it wasn't

719
00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:37.440
a genuine offer.

720
00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:38.119
It was just.

721
00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:43.639
It was to be fair. They did help me move,

722
00:54:44.199 --> 00:54:47.199
so I can't really moan. But it was just like,

723
00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:53.920
so what I tell people when if I offer something

724
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:56.039
to someone and they said no, I said, well, it

725
00:54:56.079 --> 00:55:00.039
was an empty offer anyway, So I don't have that

726
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:04.320
makes me look a bit bad. Perhaps I need to

727
00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:09.360
rethink some of the things I've said, not just from

728
00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:10.119
this recording.

729
00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:10.719
Ooh.

730
00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:16.360
I did a recording earlier, and the part it was

731
00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:20.719
like a body scan, I ended up talking about astronauts.

732
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:25.039
I'm not quite sure where my brain's going these days.

733
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:31.880
It's weird. I don't know. It's almost like I'm not

734
00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:35.519
sure if I can't go back to doing serious recordings anymore,

735
00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:42.280
to being all serious and all like solemn, and I

736
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:47.880
don't know what the right word is. It's like, yeah,

737
00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:52.239
I don't know if I can do that anymore. I'm

738
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:54.239
not sure the last time I actually did anything that

739
00:55:54.360 --> 00:56:00.760
was like super serious. Well maybe I have. But hey,

740
00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:03.920
I mean, so I'm doing.

741
00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:19.719
This this wall food mhm, and it.

742
00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:19.480
It's going quite well. I'm getting most of the wall

743
00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:23.360
done and then the thing breaks, you know, the thing

744
00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:25.920
snaps off, So I have to reput it on and

745
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:28.760
it snaps again. Then it snaps again, and I think

746
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:31.800
I change it or get it done about ten times

747
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:39.400
and then the thing just falls apart. It actually banged

748
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:42.679
against my leg, so.

749
00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:46.800
M h.

750
00:56:47.840 --> 00:56:52.039
I ended up putting the sort of unplug it in

751
00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:53.880
and then put it back. I just put it onto

752
00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:58.039
a in front of a porch, and after I stopped

753
00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:02.320
crying that once and where I went to my ankle

754
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:04.480
act we didn't go into my bit. It banged my ankle.

755
00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:09.519
I wonder if there's any mark there. I can't see

756
00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:18.679
in this light. But I was trying to get this stuff.

757
00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:20.280
She asked me if I had to look at this stuff,

758
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:23.000
which is it was growing out of the concrete of

759
00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:28.440
the pavement and it just wasn't. Yeah, it wasn't doing

760
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:31.400
the job, and I think I might have broken it

761
00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:36.519
because it might have been working before. It did seem

762
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:45.400
to be working okay before. But at the same time, yeah,

763
00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:47.519
I was a little bit concerned. I didn't want the

764
00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:52.760
because it was when I was doing the pavement, bits

765
00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:55.920
of gravel were like flicking back at me and hitting

766
00:57:55.960 --> 00:57:58.880
me in the face. So that was probably a little

767
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:05.519
clue that maybe it wasn't doing it correctly, and the

768
00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:09.679
seagull landed on my head. Do you know what? The

769
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:16.320
other day this bird flew right at me and just

770
00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:20.719
missed me by an inch. I'm not even like making

771
00:58:20.719 --> 00:58:22.559
it up. I say, Okay, maybe not an inch, but

772
00:58:23.679 --> 00:58:26.480
I'm going an inch is quite a lot. Okay, maybe

773
00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:34.239
it was okay, maybe a foot, but you know, to me,

774
00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:36.280
I think of an inch, and I think of a foot,

775
00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:40.039
but maybe yeah, maybe a foot. But it missed me

776
00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:45.519
really close. It's like just turned and it was at

777
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:52.320
my head. I was like, even a bird doesn't want

778
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:55.840
to kiss me? No, I thought, wow, why would you? How? First,

779
00:58:55.920 --> 00:59:01.400
how could you miss my head? And secondly, like birds

780
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:05.320
are so good normally, I've never had a bird fly

781
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:11.320
into me, even at my biggest, at my girthiest, I've

782
00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:18.599
never had a bird fly into me. I don't think. No,

783
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:26.400
I haven't. No, no, I haven't not even a pigeon,

784
00:59:33.159 --> 00:59:35.679
I don't think. So I'm just thinking maybe I have.

785
00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:39.599
No.

786
00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:45.599
No, I don't know. I don't think I have. So

787
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:48.679
when I got Vinny, I started walking in straight away

788
00:59:50.320 --> 00:59:55.239
and it was weird because this was blurh. What year

789
00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:59.360
was it? Anyone? Anyone got an idea what year it

790
00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:12.400
was two thousand and then twenty two December. Yep, I

791
01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:19.599
think it was twenty twenty two, and it was November

792
01:00:19.639 --> 01:00:28.239
twenty twenty three that my friend left, and then we're

793
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:30.960
gone for all the way through twenty twenty four. Now

794
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:33.719
were in twenty twenty five, so I've had him a

795
01:00:33.719 --> 01:00:40.079
while now. The first week I got him, it was snowing,

796
01:00:41.480 --> 01:00:46.239
which started snowing, and you know, I got him on

797
01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:51.159
the Saturday. Start snowing on a Sunday something like that,

798
01:00:53.480 --> 01:00:57.119
but proper snow like it's settled. It was really thick

799
01:00:57.320 --> 01:01:04.880
and everything, and I took him out and unless there

800
01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:06.920
was snow on the ground at the time, I don't

801
01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:11.119
think there was no snow all week ll till the

802
01:01:11.199 --> 01:01:12.960
next week, so it was snow on the ground. Then

803
01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:17.639
it turned to ice, of course, like it does. I

804
01:01:18.280 --> 01:01:22.239
was wearing boots. I didn't slip nothing, apart from once

805
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:27.239
in the field. I did slip over some snow, but

806
01:01:27.239 --> 01:01:29.159
I didn't hurt myself because I fell in the snow,

807
01:01:29.800 --> 01:01:33.639
but that was because he led me down this ditch thing.

808
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:46.679
And I was like, I felt quite proud of myself

809
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:50.840
because I hadn't fallen over. Had slipped really apart from

810
01:01:50.840 --> 01:01:54.079
that one thing, but that was fine. But I didn't

811
01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:56.719
slip over on the pavement. I was wearing these big

812
01:01:56.760 --> 01:02:01.480
boots that were quite good grips, and like okay, and

813
01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:05.119
I was being really careful with my posture, even though

814
01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:07.519
he was trying to pull me each way and everywhere.

815
01:02:07.559 --> 01:02:11.800
And he was happy to be out in the snow,

816
01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:15.039
in the cold. He didn't care. He was just happy

817
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:19.519
just to be out and we were bonding. He was

818
01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:22.719
a bit naughty. It took a while for me and

819
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:26.280
him to sort of lay the ground rules a little bit,

820
01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:30.760
you know, and I tried to have him stay in here,

821
01:02:32.880 --> 01:02:39.840
but he just kept barking and stuff. And in the end,

822
01:02:40.360 --> 01:02:42.159
you know, I let him into the bedroom and he's

823
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:47.320
been sleeping in the bed ever since. But you know,

824
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:49.599
he didn't want to. I think when he first moved in,

825
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:52.360
he didn't want to be here, which is understandable. He

826
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:55.239
wanted to be where his home was, which was across

827
01:02:55.280 --> 01:02:58.000
the road. That's where he'd lived for the last three months,

828
01:02:59.280 --> 01:03:02.679
and it was only ten months old, so I was

829
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:06.039
literally his fourth place that he'd lived. He lived in

830
01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:08.880
a place where he was born until he was old

831
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:12.239
enough to move somewhere else. So he got his first

832
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.760
home and he was there for I don't know how long,

833
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:20.559
a couple of months or whatever, three months, and then

834
01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:26.679
she became unwell, had to give him back or phoned

835
01:03:26.760 --> 01:03:30.039
up the breeders that can can you take him back

836
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:33.320
and find him a home, So they took him back.

837
01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:39.159
He then stayed with a family member of theirs for

838
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:43.440
three months or two two or three months, and then

839
01:03:44.199 --> 01:03:46.280
sold it to me, sold it, sold him to me.

840
01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:50.599
So I was the fourth home that he'd lived in.

841
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.199
So I think he was a little bit over, you know,

842
01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:56.400
all over the place. I'm sure he loved every single

843
01:03:56.440 --> 01:04:00.800
person he was around, and he was around a females.

844
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:06.320
So I was the first only male that he'd lived

845
01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:10.559
with it lived. The first place he lived there was

846
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:14.800
females and a man. The second place he lived there

847
01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:17.159
was just a female. The third place he lived there

848
01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:19.480
was just a female. And then he moved in with me.

849
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:23.280
And he's got a real affection for females, he just has.

850
01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:26.920
He's he loves men as well, but he loves women.

851
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:31.119
He's got a real Yeah, there is you consider more

852
01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:35.599
affection there for women than there are for men. But

853
01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:38.880
he's still got more affection for men than he has

854
01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:42.719
for dogs. He loves prefers humans. He's got a couple

855
01:04:42.719 --> 01:04:45.960
of friends that he absolutely adores. But the rest of

856
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:49.480
the time, if he sees a dog, like with a human,

857
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:52.800
he'll go up to the human. He goes so low

858
01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:56.400
to a human before he says a load. From before

859
01:04:56.400 --> 01:04:57.639
he says the loads of a dog, you'll say a

860
01:04:57.679 --> 01:05:03.920
load to the human. So that's how he is, and

861
01:05:03.960 --> 01:05:06.119
it's weird. So we got through that whole period of

862
01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:12.360
snow ice nothing. The day it rained that day, I

863
01:05:12.360 --> 01:05:15.280
think it was a Wednesday or Tuesday. The following week

864
01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:21.920
it rained, all the ice was gone. My friend downstairs

865
01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:24.840
called up bring him. Do you want to bring him

866
01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:28.480
out into the garden with LOGI right, And this was

867
01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:31.800
like ten o'clock or something like that. Nine o'clock. So

868
01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:34.480
I go down with me crocs, not the pink ones

869
01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:38.760
I got now, but the other ones, and I slip.

870
01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:42.199
So he's run down without the lead on, just run

871
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:47.119
down into the garden. My friend standing not right at

872
01:05:47.119 --> 01:05:48.800
the bottom of the stairs, but you know, so he

873
01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:51.400
could see me. He was just standing waiting for me,

874
01:05:51.480 --> 01:05:55.400
and I slipped, probably three steps down the top, and

875
01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:57.920
then I slipped and I bounced all the way down

876
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:03.320
to the bottom, and my friends laughing, which I probably

877
01:06:03.360 --> 01:06:05.880
would have laughed as well, had to not fractured my back,

878
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:15.760
but I hadn't. Luckily I had my coat on. Now,

879
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:21.440
if I had not had my coat on, I could

880
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:25.679
have really really hurt myself, like but and this coat

881
01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:30.719
was quite padded, got like a winter coat. So I'm

882
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:36.159
glad I did that. Yeah, so I slipped and bounced

883
01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:40.960
down the stairs. And that was the reason I mentioned

884
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:47.440
this is because mentioned this is because the following after

885
01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:52.159
that day, for quite a few weeks, I'm still taking

886
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:56.360
in for walks. I'm still having to bend down and

887
01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:00.119
pick up you know, his poos and stuff. It was

888
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:11.679
so hard, it was just really like almost impossible. In fact,

889
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:14.679
I shouldn't have really been doing it. I don't think

890
01:07:14.719 --> 01:07:17.000
it was probably a good idea to be bending over

891
01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:21.559
with fractured back. I had fractures in two places, and

892
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:26.440
I don't think it was a problem walking around, But

893
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:30.360
the bending over is I'm not sure how helpful that

894
01:07:30.519 --> 01:07:34.239
was to the healing. Maybe it was useful. I don't

895
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:37.360
know enough about fractures of the back to know about that.

896
01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:43.559
But it did heal. And that was just such a

897
01:07:43.639 --> 01:07:50.880
weird way to start my dog walking experience with my

898
01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:53.039
own dog, because he's the first time I've had my

899
01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:58.199
own dog. I've only I've had three fourth I had

900
01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:04.559
a couple of goldfish I have. I had a a

901
01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:10.920
budgy once, and then I had a I had Andre,

902
01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:14.559
but he was my son and Vinnie's my son. But

903
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:19.880
there's I need to, you know, kind of responsible situations

904
01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:24.159
I've been in. But Vinnie was the first dog that

905
01:08:24.199 --> 01:08:28.159
I ever had to look after and to you know,

906
01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:31.520
to live with and to be in charge or to

907
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:38.359
be responsible for. It was such a weird start to

908
01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:44.039
be literally limping. I was limping. I was using I

909
01:08:44.119 --> 01:08:51.079
was using because I had this what did I have?

910
01:08:51.520 --> 01:09:02.159
I had a what did I have? Had an umbrella,

911
01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:04.960
but it was it had a.

912
01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:06.880
Like a walking stick on the end of it, So

913
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:09.359
I was using that to help me to get a

914
01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:14.520
look to get around. It was weird, honestly, and I

915
01:09:14.560 --> 01:09:16.680
was starting to hold onto that while I bent over

916
01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:22.600
and so I didn't fall over. It was strange. And

917
01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:26.680
then when I first started and taken him out for walks,

918
01:09:26.920 --> 01:09:32.680
we didn't really go into the field or to the parks.

919
01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:39.439
We started off walking around the pavement, and because I'd

920
01:09:39.479 --> 01:09:43.319
never really okay, I think it was because with Andrea,

921
01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:46.439
I used to take him walking around the estate, so

922
01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:56.560
I kind of it had been it had been a

923
01:09:56.640 --> 01:10:07.479
while to how long it had been, had it been, Yeah,

924
01:10:07.479 --> 01:10:10.359
it been a while year and a bit since Andre.

925
01:10:11.439 --> 01:10:16.079
So I automatically just took him the same route that

926
01:10:16.079 --> 01:10:18.760
I used to take Andre, or the Andre used to

927
01:10:18.760 --> 01:10:26.319
take me. And so we'd walk around the pavement around

928
01:10:26.359 --> 01:10:31.039
the estate and then go through the park. And I'll

929
01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:33.680
be taking him out late at night, early hours of

930
01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:42.000
the morning. And then then they changed the lights and

931
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:44.600
the lights were a lot dimmer than they were previously.

932
01:10:45.560 --> 01:10:49.000
They changed all and I just couldn't see, couldn't see

933
01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:51.119
really where I was going. So I don't go out

934
01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:57.960
late at night anymore. It might just be my eyesight.

935
01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:04.840
I don't know. I'm nowise sure. This has been strange

936
01:11:05.039 --> 01:11:09.600
taking him out, because since I've had him, I stop

937
01:11:09.640 --> 01:11:15.039
at the pavement, I say wait, wait. He does wait hmmm.

938
01:11:15.920 --> 01:11:18.079
He kind of palls as well, but he will wait

939
01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:26.119
sometimes and what I say is slowly cross slowly. One

940
01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:29.680
of the few things I say to him, and it's

941
01:11:29.760 --> 01:11:35.119
not a big request, is it, you know, just slowly.

942
01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:39.800
And I've been saying the same thing to him every

943
01:11:39.800 --> 01:11:42.199
time we cross the road since I've had him, and

944
01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:49.399
he still pulls. So I just there. But that's it.

945
01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:55.439
That's that's my history of dog walking. Got to know

946
01:11:55.479 --> 01:11:58.920
a few people over the years with Finny, which is good.

947
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:03.640
And I was invited into someone's house today for the

948
01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:06.520
first time, well not the first time being invited, but

949
01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:11.279
the first time that I actually went inside, and one

950
01:12:11.279 --> 01:12:13.720
of the neighbors as before I wanted a cup of tea.

951
01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:17.479
I said no. I didn't say no, I said no, thanks,

952
01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:20.479
so because I was just going to come home, so

953
01:12:20.600 --> 01:12:22.279
I all, being a bit under the weather, I didn't.

954
01:12:22.800 --> 01:12:28.199
I was just taking him out just to get some

955
01:12:28.319 --> 01:12:31.319
air and have a nice a long walk and then

956
01:12:31.319 --> 01:12:36.920
come back. And you know, but had he had an

957
01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:41.479
opportunity to have a sniff around her house and go

958
01:12:41.600 --> 01:12:45.720
into the garden, and he loved it. And he gets

959
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:49.199
on really well with with his friend, the other dog,

960
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:53.439
and they got on really well. And she she said,

961
01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:56.039
that's not always a case. Sometimes a dog walks when

962
01:12:56.199 --> 01:13:00.520
they sail when they're walking, but when they're together, like

963
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:04.199
they don't always get on very well with the dog,

964
01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:07.640
not him and her, but you know sometimes the other dogs.

965
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:11.319
Her dog doesn't like the other dog being in her house,

966
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:20.239
but she seemed fine with any So yeah, it's I

967
01:13:20.279 --> 01:13:24.720
think there was a period once Andre was gone that

968
01:13:25.479 --> 01:13:28.680
I wasn't out. I wasn't going out because I was

969
01:13:29.039 --> 01:13:31.560
I didn't have to take Andre out for walks because

970
01:13:31.800 --> 01:13:35.000
you know, basically he didn't need to. I just took

971
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:38.600
him out firstly because I wanted to and when he

972
01:13:38.680 --> 01:13:41.479
wanted to. So it was a mixture of both. He

973
01:13:41.560 --> 01:13:45.680
loved going out or weather, didn't care. I wasn't a

974
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:50.239
big fan of the rain or the wind, but didn't

975
01:13:50.239 --> 01:13:54.000
care about snow, didn't care the heat. He did get

976
01:13:54.119 --> 01:13:57.399
very hot. But big thing about it is that if

977
01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:00.479
he got if he got tired, he just him up

978
01:14:00.720 --> 01:14:04.199
and he'd go into my jacket and just go to sleep.

979
01:14:05.439 --> 01:14:08.319
So what he would do, he'd walk. It'd walk me,

980
01:14:08.880 --> 01:14:12.279
says Under. He'd walk ahead of me and he'd lead

981
01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:15.880
me into the middle of nowhere in the fields as

982
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:19.840
far away as he could get. And then he just

983
01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:27.079
claps on the floor and say pick me up. So

984
01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:30.520
I'd pick him up, or he'd just stop and put

985
01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:33.439
his put his hands against my legs for me to

986
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:37.880
pick him up, and I'd pick him up, and I

987
01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:39.680
didn't have to ask him what he wanted because he

988
01:14:39.680 --> 01:14:43.800
would literally climb into the top of my jacket and

989
01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:46.560
that'll be it. Go to sleep, and a weird thing

990
01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:51.039
about it, right, guaranteed. I mean, there was no point

991
01:14:51.079 --> 01:14:53.439
in me caring on walking because it's going to take

992
01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:57.600
me an hour to walk back. Bless him. Why he

993
01:14:57.680 --> 01:15:00.600
didn't just let me walk back. He wouldn't. He had

994
01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:05.479
to go as far away as possible, guaranteed. Just before

995
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:08.680
I got to the exit, you know, the original entrance.

996
01:15:08.720 --> 01:15:12.239
When I was back nearly home, his head will pop up,

997
01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:18.319
look around, and they want to get out. So when

998
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:21.079
we were five minutes away from home, his head would

999
01:15:21.079 --> 01:15:30.279
pop up every single time. He's so funny. It's like

1000
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:40.359
he knew he just knew strange. So, I don't know,

1001
01:15:40.439 --> 01:15:44.279
maybe like Liam Neeson in Taken two, he could count

1002
01:15:44.319 --> 01:15:49.640
the steps, maybe he knew the sounds from the different Yeah.

1003
01:15:49.960 --> 01:15:51.359
Do you remember that bit where he's in the back

1004
01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:53.520
of the van or is it taken three I don't know,

1005
01:15:53.880 --> 01:16:01.359
or Taken nine? So yeah, so it's been I think

1006
01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:04.920
that period between having Andrea and having Vinnie, where I

1007
01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:09.479
wasn't going out. I started walking around the same route

1008
01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:11.600
that I used to take andre sometimes, but it was

1009
01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:20.319
it wasn't the same being on my own. And then

1010
01:16:20.359 --> 01:16:25.239
when I got Vinnie, it's got me out of the house,

1011
01:16:27.039 --> 01:16:30.239
which is a good thing. I don't enjoy it a lot.

1012
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:32.800
Sometimes I don't want to go out. I don't want

1013
01:16:32.800 --> 01:16:34.039
to get out of bed, and I don't want to

1014
01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:37.600
go out in the rain and stuff. But I think

1015
01:16:37.680 --> 01:16:45.880
ultimately it's it's been good for me to have that movement,

1016
01:16:46.079 --> 01:16:55.600
to have that those fleeting conversations with humans that you know,

1017
01:16:55.720 --> 01:17:00.199
those small bits of interaction. It's probably useful. Maybe I'm

1018
01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:09.000
not sure, but he loves being outside. I think he'd

1019
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:13.239
spend his whole day out there if he could. Really,

1020
01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:15.199
I don't think he'd want to come in. He'd come

1021
01:17:15.239 --> 01:17:17.159
in for a little sleep and then to go out again.

1022
01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:19.720
If I had a little cat flap which he could

1023
01:17:19.720 --> 01:17:23.920
fit through, I don't know. Maybe he'd need a little

1024
01:17:23.960 --> 01:17:27.199
bit bigger slightly. Yeah, he's probably a little bit too

1025
01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:31.560
big for a cat flap. I'm not sure. Actually, he

1026
01:17:31.600 --> 01:17:34.960
probably could fit for a big cat flap, but he would, Yeah,

1027
01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:37.479
he'd be in and out all day long. But also

1028
01:17:37.920 --> 01:17:42.600
if there was also dog flaps or cat flaps, vinnie

1029
01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:46.399
flaps in all the other doors in this building, he'd

1030
01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:48.319
be in and out of those doors, in and out

1031
01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:53.319
of those flats. And if you put them in all

1032
01:17:53.359 --> 01:17:57.680
the houses in the road, he'd be in and out

1033
01:17:57.760 --> 01:18:02.199
of all those houses. Seriously, everybody would know who he

1034
01:18:02.319 --> 01:18:05.039
is because it'd be in and out standing loads of

1035
01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:12.039
people begging for treats. It's a proper scrounger. And he

1036
01:18:12.079 --> 01:18:17.960
would be huge. He would be absolutely huge, And one

1037
01:18:18.039 --> 01:18:26.479
day he would get stuck in the cat flap. That's guaranteed. Ah,

1038
01:18:29.640 --> 01:18:33.319
I think I kind of stuck to the subject Monday's

1039
01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:39.720
boring objects dog walking, So I think I did so.

1040
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:46.039
Right now it is, what's it caught? Past eight pm?

1041
01:18:46.079 --> 01:18:50.960
I'm not sure if I'm going to edit this tonight.

1042
01:18:51.000 --> 01:18:53.880
I'll do it in the morning when I wake up.

1043
01:18:56.600 --> 01:18:59.119
I might do it tonight. I don't know. It's hard

1044
01:18:59.119 --> 01:19:08.119
to know, isn't it hard to guess? Really? Really, so

1045
01:19:08.520 --> 01:19:11.479
thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself

1046
01:19:11.560 --> 01:19:16.720
because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle

1047
01:19:16.720 --> 01:19:21.800
with yourself, because you also deserve to feel safe, lots

1048
01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:31.880
of love. Bye, little flappy ears right at the end.

1049
01:19:32.039 --> 01:19:34.760
What was that? You always know? When I finished the recording,

1050
01:19:34.840 --> 01:19:35.119
don't you?

1051
01:19:36.600 --> 01:19:36.840
Yes?

1052
01:19:36.920 --> 01:19:50.239
Becauld you say good bye? Relax in a more deep

1053
01:19:50.720 --> 01:20:01.600
and meaningful way, Maybe in a way that can not

1054
01:20:01.920 --> 01:20:11.960
just allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the

1055
01:20:12.079 --> 01:20:21.119
time we spend together here, not just relaxed at the

1056
01:20:21.279 --> 01:20:25.439
end of the recording when it's finished and you can

1057
01:20:25.560 --> 01:20:43.239
enjoy that sense of comfort and peace, but also I

1058
01:20:43.279 --> 01:20:49.760
think it would be nice to have those feelings of

1059
01:20:53.840 --> 01:21:11.079
relaxation continue for longer after the recording has ended, so

1060
01:21:11.239 --> 01:21:23.199
that you can still benefit from listening to my voice,

1061
01:21:23.560 --> 01:21:34.960
maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then

1062
01:21:35.159 --> 01:21:43.159
by listening regularly, especially if you find like some people

1063
01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:46.760
do and myself as well. I sometimes I find one

1064
01:21:46.840 --> 01:21:57.159
particular recording that really resonates with me, and I just

1065
01:21:57.279 --> 01:22:02.960
listen to it over and over again every morning, every evening.

1066
01:22:10.600 --> 01:22:15.239
There was this recording from We're going back to about

1067
01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:20.600
nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a

1068
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:30.199
guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis really, and I

1069
01:22:30.279 --> 01:22:33.560
managed to find it again and it still has the

1070
01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:42.800
same effect on me. And part of it was the

1071
01:22:42.920 --> 01:22:55.960
person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful, and

1072
01:22:56.000 --> 01:23:02.840
I'd look forward to listening to her in the morning

1073
01:23:03.279 --> 01:23:14.359
and in the evening. And I knew before even pressing

1074
01:23:14.479 --> 01:23:22.399
the play button that since I've done that, pressed the

1075
01:23:22.479 --> 01:23:31.600
play button. This is in the days of CD players

1076
01:23:34.560 --> 01:23:40.039
press the play button. In fact, it might have even

1077
01:23:40.079 --> 01:23:44.319
been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on the

1078
01:23:44.359 --> 01:23:58.119
bed and then even without necessarily listening to her words

1079
01:24:01.079 --> 01:24:10.439
because I had them memorized. Really, it was as if

1080
01:24:10.479 --> 01:24:21.680
my body knew exactly what to do, and the muscles

1081
01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:43.319
just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my

1082
01:24:43.479 --> 01:24:57.399
mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening to

1083
01:24:57.479 --> 01:25:06.720
this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis, and

1084
01:25:06.960 --> 01:25:15.920
long before I ever made any videos or audio recordings myself,

1085
01:25:17.079 --> 01:25:20.439
because I didn't start doing that till two thousand and six.

1086
01:25:27.199 --> 01:25:43.000
But I knew, I knew how helpful I found being

1087
01:25:43.039 --> 01:25:52.239
able to just let go, to have that trust in

1088
01:25:52.319 --> 01:26:02.720
the person that I'm listening to, knowing that it's going

1089
01:26:02.800 --> 01:26:13.319
to be just as relaxing, if not more so. Each

1090
01:26:13.439 --> 01:26:20.079
time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

1091
01:26:26.399 --> 01:26:41.000
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,

1092
01:26:41.840 --> 01:26:45.880
maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

1093
01:26:47.640 --> 01:26:54.159
but maybe people come back. Some people may be listen

1094
01:26:54.239 --> 01:27:10.800
every day. That's something that I do which you may

1095
01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:31.880
not realize by listening, is when I record these recordings now.

1096
01:27:32.000 --> 01:27:44.520
For example, I also am affected by the words that

1097
01:27:44.680 --> 01:27:56.840
I say. So if I set you focus on your feet,

1098
01:27:59.319 --> 01:28:07.079
notice your feet relaxing, I would be focusing on my feet.

1099
01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:29.399
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said

1100
01:28:29.520 --> 01:28:37.199
focus on your hands, then maybe notice the difference between

1101
01:28:37.239 --> 01:28:48.079
each hand. Perhaps notice the air in the room, the

1102
01:28:48.199 --> 01:28:52.840
temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.

1103
01:29:00.640 --> 01:29:04.560
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

1104
01:29:04.680 --> 01:29:12.720
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1105
01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:19.199
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

1106
01:29:26.239 --> 01:29:36.840
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

1107
01:29:37.199 --> 01:30:05.399
aware of how relaxed my hands are feeling now. And

1108
01:30:05.560 --> 01:30:12.479
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

1109
01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:26.680
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

1110
01:30:28.920 --> 01:30:42.399
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

1111
01:30:50.319 --> 01:31:02.920
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

1112
01:31:07.760 --> 01:31:16.880
and then I carry on talking. And it's only when

1113
01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:26.319
I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring,

1114
01:31:28.199 --> 01:31:35.520
and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

1115
01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:45.560
It's snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I

1116
01:31:45.640 --> 01:31:55.720
sound like when I snore, I get really into the

1117
01:31:55.760 --> 01:32:14.000
whole experience. I don't know how you feel, how relaxed

1118
01:32:14.119 --> 01:32:24.479
you feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel in

1119
01:32:24.520 --> 01:32:51.199
your hands. I have noticed more and more that the

1120
01:32:51.479 --> 01:33:08.159
more relaxed, deeper live of comfort you feel, the easier

1121
01:33:08.760 --> 01:33:28.119
your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation.

1122
01:33:32.479 --> 01:33:53.479
So this allows you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing

1123
01:33:55.680 --> 01:34:21.279
on your breath, however, being able to notice the ease

1124
01:34:24.680 --> 01:34:51.279
in which you breathe so naturally, you breathe so very

1125
01:34:51.520 --> 01:35:40.239
easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when

1126
01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:55.600
I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize a

1127
01:35:55.720 --> 01:36:12.239
beautiful field, true breeze and flowers producing all that life

1128
01:36:12.399 --> 01:36:44.720
giving oxygen. And it feels nice too, if nothing else,

1129
01:36:47.920 --> 01:37:22.079
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling

1130
01:37:22.439 --> 01:38:13.039
of peace serenity, with a joyful heart. Time seems to

1131
01:38:13.199 --> 01:38:48.319
just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful,

1132
01:38:58.239 --> 01:40:00.800
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

1133
01:40:07.520 --> 01:40:58.880
noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because

1134
01:40:59.079 --> 01:41:27.640
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical

1135
01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:39.640
sensations of allowing the stress to drip out of your body,

1136
01:41:46.159 --> 01:42:09.960
dripping out of every part of your body and being

1137
01:42:10.319 --> 01:42:48.960
released from your brain. Hunge your mind slowly but surely.

1138
01:42:55.800 --> 01:43:33.199
The muscles in your legs, relax rex relax so very deeply,

1139
01:43:43.000 --> 01:44:14.039
relax so deeply. And the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

1140
01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:40.840
your arms and shoulders, deepening each part of your body

1141
01:44:41.960 --> 01:45:19.920
further and deeper and deep not to send the feedings

1142
01:45:20.119 --> 01:45:46.600
in the back of your neck, the feedings in your wrists,

1143
01:46:19.720 --> 01:46:35.199

Letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the different

1164
02:02:44.039 --> 02:03:18.840
parts of your body, just to notice your forehead and

1165
02:03:19.079 --> 02:04:33.119
your eyes. A chum said, noticing the sense of complete freedom,

1166
02:04:37.600 --> 02:06:29.079
absolute freedom. Dress day, dress day. He's on energy paste

1167

1168
02:06:36.000 --> 02:07:18.359
Yeah, loose.

1169
02:07:39.399 --> 02:08:29.479
You may have You may not have noticed your mind drifted, peaceful,

1170
02:08:43.560 --> 02:09:04.840
moveing even more deeply in the direction of dotal blissful pace,

1171
02:09:09.000 --> 02:11:12.840
bliss for pace, arrest, time to pace, let him go,

1172
02:11:37.720 --> 02:12:50.399
peace of mind, relaxed, body, relaxed, relaxed. A body feels

1173
02:12:50.720 --> 02:13:46.560
almost invisible, so the very relaxed paceful so pace relax

1174
02:13:53.439 --> 02:14:33.359
liker so. And you could start to notice that you

1175
02:14:34.880 --> 02:14:46.159
are feeling more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused

1176
02:14:46.560 --> 02:14:54.680
your mind upon that sense of physical comfort that is

1177
02:14:54.920 --> 02:15:04.199
growing within you throughout your body, and your mind starts

1178
02:15:04.279 --> 02:15:13.840
to slow down, And that could be almost in recognition

1179
02:15:14.399 --> 02:15:28.239
of I guess my speech not being particularly fast, and

1180
02:15:28.439 --> 02:15:39.279
things just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice,

1181
02:15:42.399 --> 02:15:49.319
you give yourself an opportunity to take a break from

1182
02:15:49.399 --> 02:15:55.920
the day, take a break from your life as it is,

1183
02:15:59.319 --> 02:16:06.920
and to give you self arrest, giving yourself permission to

1184
02:16:07.079 --> 02:16:12.319
take some time off and to allow your body to

1185
02:16:12.439 --> 02:16:22.159
relax and allow your mind to slow down, which in

1186
02:16:22.319 --> 02:16:30.199
turn releases the tension, any stresses that you had in

1187
02:16:30.279 --> 02:16:40.120
your body. It's almost as if the parts of your

1188
02:16:40.159 --> 02:16:52.159
body just open up, allowing the negativity out and at

1189
02:16:52.200 --> 02:17:00.479
the same time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy,

1190
02:17:03.559 --> 02:17:08.159
which then fills your body up and your mind to

1191
02:17:09.799 --> 02:17:28.239
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an

1192
02:17:28.280 --> 02:17:45.360
almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through

1193
02:17:45.440 --> 02:17:56.120
your body like a wave of comfort. And all this

1194
02:17:56.440 --> 02:18:08.479
comes from just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half

1195
02:18:08.559 --> 02:18:12.399
an hour, however long you want it to be, to

1196
02:18:12.719 --> 02:18:14.520
just rest.

1197
02:18:19.600 --> 02:18:20.559
And allow.

1198
02:18:22.760 --> 02:18:32.760
Your mind and your body to almost reset itself to

1199
02:18:33.440 --> 02:18:49.079
the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more

1200
02:18:49.200 --> 02:19:02.600
room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around

1201
02:19:02.920 --> 02:19:11.120
your body and into your mind, almost as if your

1202
02:19:11.239 --> 02:19:21.760
mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each

1203
02:19:22.040 --> 02:19:35.360
other with that growing positivity and calmness. And it feels nice,

1204
02:19:37.959 --> 02:19:43.879
really does feel nice to know that you are the

1205
02:19:44.000 --> 02:19:57.319
one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort and

1206
02:19:57.520 --> 02:20:00.079
to experience.

1207
02:20:01.879 --> 02:20:03.000
More of this.

1208
02:20:04.799 --> 02:20:19.920
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1209
02:20:21.520 --> 02:20:27.280
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1210
02:20:27.479 --> 02:20:42.000
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1211
02:20:44.520 --> 02:20:54.200
It becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.

1212
02:20:58.239 --> 02:21:03.399
And as I move down on your body, starting at

1213
02:21:03.479 --> 02:21:09.479
your head, the parts that you have already focused on

1214
02:21:10.239 --> 02:21:19.120
or continue to relax deeply, and those parts that have

1215
02:21:19.920 --> 02:21:31.479
not yet focused on or just automatically release any remain

1216
02:21:31.639 --> 02:21:45.399
intention in anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now,

1217
02:21:47.799 --> 02:21:53.959
I'm going to start by focusing on your forehead, just

1218
02:21:54.159 --> 02:22:02.639
being aware the feelings of your forehead and then your

1219
02:22:02.719 --> 02:22:10.200
background sounds like mister Herbert the Pigeon can just allow

1220
02:22:10.319 --> 02:22:17.440
you to feel even more relaxed. Just means you in

1221
02:22:17.559 --> 02:22:25.600
the moment, this isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This

1222
02:22:25.799 --> 02:22:33.600
is the world. I live in the countryside, so there's

1223
02:22:33.719 --> 02:22:44.000
lots of nature sounds around. So as you focus on

1224
02:22:44.120 --> 02:22:51.719
your forehead, just notice how it becomes even more relaxed.

1225
02:22:54.559 --> 02:23:01.840
Focus only on my voice and that part of your body.

1226
02:23:07.040 --> 02:23:15.319
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1227
02:23:17.799 --> 02:23:27.520
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1228
02:23:27.559 --> 02:23:34.000
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1229
02:23:34.280 --> 02:23:48.680
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1230
02:23:49.159 --> 02:23:55.760
your tongue, your teeth, and your guns, the whole of

1231
02:23:55.920 --> 02:24:10.719
your mouth relaxing, calm and lease. As you focus now

1232
02:24:11.559 --> 02:24:18.399
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw

1233
02:24:18.520 --> 02:24:22.959
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way

1234
02:24:23.040 --> 02:24:29.440
up the size of your face to your ears, the

1235
02:24:29.680 --> 02:24:54.159
hole of your jaw feeding more relaxed and calm, focusing

1236
02:24:57.639 --> 02:25:02.799
on your neck, the front of your neck and your

1237
02:25:02.959 --> 02:25:15.920
throat relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of your

1238
02:25:16.040 --> 02:25:25.280
neck right and left side of your neck relaxed and

1239
02:25:26.799 --> 02:25:40.440
lace and calm. And now the back of your neck,

1240
02:25:43.760 --> 02:25:53.719
focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of

1241
02:25:53.959 --> 02:26:00.639
any tension that may have been there before, and joy

1242
02:26:00.799 --> 02:26:10.719
in that sense of increasing comfort and release.

1243
02:26:13.479 --> 02:26:17.440
Then you can experience in the back of your neck,

1244
02:26:23.760 --> 02:26:26.000
moving down your back.

1245
02:26:28.239 --> 02:26:32.920
And moving either side of your spine right from the

1246
02:26:33.040 --> 02:26:38.360
top of your back all the way down to the

1247
02:26:38.479 --> 02:26:56.000
bottom of your back down to your lower back. As

1248
02:26:56.040 --> 02:27:03.479
you move up and down your spine, you can feel

1249
02:27:03.600 --> 02:27:11.360
the muscles either side of your spine relaxing even more.

1250
02:27:18.840 --> 02:27:25.600
And as those muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts

1251
02:27:25.719 --> 02:27:35.799
to spread outwards from your spine into both sides of

1252
02:27:35.920 --> 02:27:43.000
your back, the top of your back, the middle end

1253
02:27:43.040 --> 02:27:52.520
your lower back. And as you scan gently and slowly

1254
02:27:53.760 --> 02:27:59.000
up and down your back, there's the muscles in the

1255
02:27:59.159 --> 02:28:09.000
top of your back relax and become looser. The muscles

1256
02:28:09.159 --> 02:28:14.760
in the middle of your back also seem to just

1257
02:28:15.200 --> 02:28:29.680
almost divide from each other separating and almost melting, and

1258
02:28:29.920 --> 02:28:35.959
in your lower back there seems to be an extra

1259
02:28:36.200 --> 02:28:52.319
special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips, sit

1260
02:28:52.479 --> 02:29:00.840
down your lower back, into your hips, into area where

1261
02:29:00.879 --> 02:29:09.399
your cosix are, and into your buttocks, and all these

1262
02:29:09.559 --> 02:29:19.200
muscles that spread bring your lower back into your hip area,

1263
02:29:22.319 --> 02:29:38.959
start to melt, start to really let go, and even

1264
02:29:39.079 --> 02:29:46.120
nowhere about to focus on your shoulders, your back and

1265
02:29:46.280 --> 02:29:57.879
your spine will continue to let go, continue to relax

1266
02:30:01.399 --> 02:30:13.639
so calmly, and as you focus on your shoulders, you

1267
02:30:13.799 --> 02:30:38.959
may notice they're already feeling really loose, they're already feeling calm,

1268
02:30:45.360 --> 02:30:56.280
and they feeling those muscles then move from your neck

1269
02:30:57.719 --> 02:31:16.479
into your shoulders. Feels so soft and gentle, so smooth

1270
02:31:22.719 --> 02:31:45.200
and calm, and the feeling in your shoulders seems to

1271
02:31:45.639 --> 02:31:54.120
spread deep into your shoulders, a sense of relaxation, not

1272
02:31:54.639 --> 02:32:09.200
just traveling deeply into almost but also relaxing the bones

1273
02:32:15.159 --> 02:32:21.840
and moving all the way to underneath your arms, relaxing

1274
02:32:23.680 --> 02:32:28.440
a whole area between the tops of your shoulders and

1275
02:32:28.680 --> 02:32:47.120
underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and comfortable

1276
02:32:48.280 --> 02:32:54.239
in your shoulders, which sense that.

1277
02:32:56.479 --> 02:32:58.479
Deep healing.

1278
02:33:01.479 --> 02:33:19.000
Message into your arms. You may feel almost as if

1279
02:33:19.079 --> 02:33:25.559
your arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed,

1280
02:33:28.799 --> 02:33:59.719
so deeply relaxed, so so calm, so.

1281
02:34:06.600 --> 02:34:06.879
Loose.

1282
02:34:14.239 --> 02:34:25.360
That feeling spreading all the way down your arms, two elbows,

1283
02:34:29.200 --> 02:34:45.680
including your elbows circumfort spreads.

1284
02:34:49.719 --> 02:34:50.479

way it's like just walking down some steps and each

1304
02:47:07.920 --> 02:47:13.559
step or twenty steps and each step represents a level

1305
02:47:14.079 --> 02:47:26.840
of comfort, Each step represents a deepening of that comfort,

1306
02:47:33.479 --> 02:47:39.120

03:00:56.000 --> 03:04:01.799
Six five four in.

1312
03:04:03.840 --> 03:06:28.440
The belding the US.

1313
03:08:27.879 --> 03:08:44.959
Now, as you focus on your eyes, we're gonna count

1314
03:08:45.079 --> 03:08:56.840
down from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

1315
03:09:00.639 --> 03:09:09.120
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1316
03:09:10.639 --> 03:09:27.680
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1317
03:09:27.760 --> 03:09:36.319
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focusing

1318
03:09:36.559 --> 03:09:51.920
on your eyes, you become twice is relaxed. With each

1319
03:09:52.399 --> 03:10:04.600
number counting down, that you may find and the all

1320
03:10:04.719 --> 03:10:10.920
you want to do is just drift off to sleep.

1321
03:10:13.920 --> 03:10:20.520
And if that's what you want, then just allow yourself

1322
03:10:20.639 --> 03:10:35.280
to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going

1323
03:10:35.360 --> 03:10:45.319
to begin counting down from ten down to one right now,

1324
03:10:53.920 --> 03:11:55.639
ten nine eight.

1325
03:12:40.920 --> 03:14:52.920
Seven I.

1326
03:15:01.479 --> 03:21:38.040
US four three se.

1327
03:20:06.799 --> 03:20:18.079
Counting down from ten to one ten nine eight seven

1328
03:20:20.200 --> 03:20:42.799
six five four three two one. And maybe that was

1329
03:20:42.840 --> 03:20:47.040
a bit too quick in order to relax, Maybe it's

1330
03:20:47.040 --> 03:20:53.000
a bit too fast for you to notice the calming

1331
03:20:53.200 --> 03:20:59.799
of your body, maybe even a little bit of pressure,

1332
03:21:00.239 --> 03:21:03.760
Like you're counted down from ten to one. Would you

1333
03:21:03.879 --> 03:21:07.079
expect me to do man, expect me to just to

1334
03:21:07.159 --> 03:21:16.760
go with floppy just because you're counting down. I could

1335
03:21:16.799 --> 03:21:20.079
try it again, but this time I'll go a bit

1336
03:21:20.159 --> 03:21:27.440
slower this time, and you focus on the whole of

1337
03:21:27.520 --> 03:21:34.319
your body before we focus on your legs. Just notice

1338
03:21:35.920 --> 03:21:48.680
how your body does start to feel more relaxed with

1339
03:21:49.959 --> 03:22:42.879
every number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

1340
03:22:50.319 --> 03:23:41.799
three two one, And just notice how how you feel generally,

1341
03:23:42.239 --> 03:23:56.520
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

1342
03:23:56.680 --> 03:24:03.760
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

1343
03:24:05.120 --> 03:24:23.600
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

1344
03:24:28.319 --> 03:24:33.479
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

1345
03:24:33.680 --> 03:24:40.280
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So

1346
03:24:41.000 --> 03:24:44.000
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1347
03:24:44.079 --> 03:24:55.040
a space, a gap. And the more I came down

1348
03:24:55.120 --> 03:25:02.479
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1349
03:25:02.600 --> 03:25:15.000
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

1350
03:25:15.159 --> 03:25:29.200
nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically

1351
03:25:29.399 --> 03:25:41.520
or emotionally, moves them away, allows you.

1352
03:25:44.239 --> 03:25:44.760
To just.

1353
03:25:47.719 --> 03:25:54.440
Slow down. Someone to count again from ten down to one,

1354
03:25:54.879 --> 03:26:05.079
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1355
03:26:05.159 --> 03:26:11.200
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

1356
03:26:11.319 --> 03:26:29.159
gap and gives you that distance, that space.

1357
03:26:31.559 --> 03:26:37.000
Now ten.

1358
03:26:41.360 --> 03:28:07.760
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three two.

1359
03:28:26.079 --> 03:28:26.319
One.

1360
03:28:37.840 --> 03:28:42.239
Now, how did your body feel.

1361
03:28:44.200 --> 03:28:44.360
Now?

1362
03:28:57.079 --> 03:29:08.719
Can you notice that? Do you feel a calmer? What

1363
03:29:08.840 --> 03:29:37.079
are you feeling more relaxed? As we now focus on

1364
03:29:37.200 --> 03:29:57.879
your legs, just your legs. We're just gonna start with

1365
03:29:58.280 --> 03:30:17.239
focusing on your thighs. Of course, it's not the most

1366
03:30:18.559 --> 03:30:25.840
exciting thing to be doing because I'm sure like most

1367
03:30:25.920 --> 03:30:28.760
of your body is not a lot going on right now.

1368
03:30:37.840 --> 03:30:44.120
Just focusing on the whole of your thighs, the tops

1369
03:30:44.159 --> 03:30:50.239
of your thighs, the sides of your thighs, the bottoms

1370
03:30:50.319 --> 03:30:54.799
of your thighs, your outer thighs, and you're inner thighs.

1371
03:30:57.000 --> 03:31:00.879
Basically the whole of your thigh that leads into your

1372
03:31:01.040 --> 03:31:15.920
hip and it goes down to your knee joint. Now,

1373
03:31:16.040 --> 03:31:23.040
this is a big area. It's a very heavy area.

1374
03:31:23.520 --> 03:31:29.520
It's very strong, probably the strongest muscles in your body

1375
03:31:30.239 --> 03:31:44.520
or in your thighs. But I don't think we perhaps

1376
03:31:46.520 --> 03:31:59.239
give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge

1377
03:32:00.000 --> 03:32:19.280
how important our thighs are to our lives, how much

1378
03:32:21.920 --> 03:32:35.440
they actually do for us all through our lives. And

1379
03:32:35.559 --> 03:32:41.360
it may seem sound really weird, but I think that

1380
03:32:41.559 --> 03:32:49.440
all of our body parts, especially our thighs, need some TLC,

1381
03:32:52.799 --> 03:33:06.000
a bit of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement, thank you,

1382
03:33:09.120 --> 03:33:21.639
gratitude for our thighs do for us. And I know

1383
03:33:21.799 --> 03:33:27.879
this may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why

1384
03:33:27.959 --> 03:33:31.079
am I Surely I should be out in the garden

1385
03:33:31.280 --> 03:33:39.520
hugging a tree or something. Well, it's hard to set

1386
03:33:39.559 --> 03:33:42.719
a microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing

1387
03:33:42.760 --> 03:33:45.399
this indoors. Otherwise I wouldn't be outside hugging a tree.

1388
03:33:46.799 --> 03:33:48.520
I can't see the television.

1389
03:33:48.079 --> 03:33:48.559
From the tree.

1390
03:33:55.280 --> 03:33:59.520
If you move down to your knees gain such an

1391
03:33:59.559 --> 03:34:07.200
important what a part. And I think we don't necessarily

1392
03:34:08.760 --> 03:34:16.399
I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all

1393
03:34:16.479 --> 03:34:21.319
that one needs to do for me until I have

1394
03:34:21.440 --> 03:34:24.840
a problem with my knee. It's occasionally if I ever

1395
03:34:26.399 --> 03:34:30.360
maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching for some reason.

1396
03:34:32.120 --> 03:34:38.280
It's then that I realize how much it does. You know,

1397
03:34:38.399 --> 03:34:44.319
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1398
03:34:46.120 --> 03:34:53.360
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's

1399
03:34:53.600 --> 03:35:01.959
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.

1400
03:35:06.079 --> 03:35:10.680
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1401
03:35:10.760 --> 03:35:18.239
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude

1402
03:35:19.799 --> 03:35:22.399
and love to your knees for all that they do

1403
03:35:22.600 --> 03:35:35.600
for you, and you can still have that attention on

1404
03:35:35.719 --> 03:35:42.280
your thighs. Maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe you

1405
03:35:42.600 --> 03:36:00.000
notice that they are relaxing more deeply as you folks

1406
03:36:00.200 --> 03:36:04.959
is now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins,

1407
03:36:05.879 --> 03:36:12.360
and your calf muscles, the bones between your knees and

1408
03:36:12.479 --> 03:36:20.040
your feet incorporate, and of course your ankles so important.

1409
03:36:25.719 --> 03:36:30.520
Anyone has had, even like the slightest sprain of an

1410
03:36:30.559 --> 03:36:38.639
ankle knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

1411
03:36:44.559 --> 03:36:46.559
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

1412
03:36:46.639 --> 03:36:52.239
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

1413
03:36:52.399 --> 03:36:57.239
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1414
03:36:57.319 --> 03:37:01.040
it doesn't I can't see any problem with that because

1415
03:37:01.040 --> 03:37:07.079
we're just picking stuff up by our ankles so much

1416
03:37:07.360 --> 03:37:17.000
thinner than the rest of our legs, and from a

1417
03:37:17.120 --> 03:37:21.959
physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense

1418
03:37:23.319 --> 03:37:30.680
that all this weight would ultimately be resting on your

1419
03:37:30.760 --> 03:37:45.760
ankles then leading to your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

1420
03:37:45.840 --> 03:37:51.559
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1421
03:37:51.639 --> 03:38:03.680
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, It helps.

1422
03:38:03.479 --> 03:38:03.799
You to.

1423
03:38:07.760 --> 03:38:17.000
Get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1424
03:38:17.040 --> 03:38:24.639
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1425
03:38:24.719 --> 03:38:31.040
pointing calf muscles. Didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if

1426
03:38:31.079 --> 03:38:34.639
I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get

1427
03:38:34.719 --> 03:38:38.440
some work. But of course that's not true. The calf

1428
03:38:38.520 --> 03:38:48.159
muscles are being used whenever we use the legs and

1429
03:38:48.319 --> 03:39:00.840
your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped in

1430
03:39:00.920 --> 03:39:13.479
a way almost as a protector for the bone, leading

1431
03:39:14.840 --> 03:39:25.239
of course to your ankles and your feet. But we're

1432
03:39:25.280 --> 03:39:27.000
not going to focus on your feet, or we're just

1433
03:39:27.079 --> 03:39:33.520
going to focus on the legs. I realize, and now

1434
03:39:33.559 --> 03:39:38.159
that I've mentioned your feet, you'll probably focusing on them anyway,

1435
03:39:38.719 --> 03:39:41.280
So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.

1436
03:39:45.280 --> 03:39:49.719
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1437
03:39:49.799 --> 03:39:54.159
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1438
03:39:54.280 --> 03:40:00.079
haven't been focusing on your thighs a few minutes and

1439
03:40:00.239 --> 03:40:11.159
we're focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of

1440
03:40:14.360 --> 03:40:27.120
comfort in your thighs, and there's that movement of energy

1441
03:40:29.200 --> 03:40:36.239
because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1442
03:40:36.319 --> 03:40:41.079
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1443
03:40:41.280 --> 03:40:54.600
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of

1444
03:40:54.680 --> 03:40:59.920
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1445
03:41:00.799 --> 03:41:12.360
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1446
03:41:18.920 --> 03:41:26.479
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1447
03:41:26.520 --> 03:41:31.280
the blood, vessels, the ar trees, to all this stuff

1448
03:41:31.399 --> 03:41:40.520
that's inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice

1449
03:41:40.520 --> 03:41:44.840
if you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs

1450
03:41:45.479 --> 03:41:51.440
and message. So you can message on the outside, of course,

1451
03:41:52.239 --> 03:41:54.520
but to be able to get deep into the muscles

1452
03:41:55.440 --> 03:41:59.360
and to be able to just message inside your thighs,

1453
03:42:00.239 --> 03:42:08.680
message in the bones of your leg, massage in or

1454
03:42:08.760 --> 03:42:19.520
the veins, just gently healing your thighs and you can

1455
03:42:19.680 --> 03:42:26.559
move down message and inside your knees. Just message in

1456
03:42:26.680 --> 03:42:34.040
those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy

1457
03:42:34.799 --> 03:42:44.520
deep into the choice of your knees. Of course, there's

1458
03:42:44.600 --> 03:42:49.000
the back of your your need and the inside crease

1459
03:42:50.000 --> 03:42:56.959
where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Three

1460
03:42:57.639 --> 03:43:01.479
it feels very nice when you stroke it. That might

1461
03:43:01.559 --> 03:43:05.719
be because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

1462
03:43:07.760 --> 03:43:14.639
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1463
03:43:14.719 --> 03:43:22.040
It's almost like a part that has a sensitivity which

1464
03:43:22.120 --> 03:43:32.559
is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected by

1465
03:43:32.639 --> 03:43:44.040
your legs, so you can imagine putting your fingers into

1466
03:43:44.159 --> 03:43:53.799
that crease in your legs. Fold in between your legs,

1467
03:43:54.559 --> 03:43:59.159
you can just message with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips

1468
03:43:59.239 --> 03:44:09.639
going in side massage in the muscle tissue. You can

1469
03:44:09.719 --> 03:44:15.959
of course feel the bones of your knees healing through

1470
03:44:16.000 --> 03:44:28.680
your fingertips. And then as you go down to your

1471
03:44:28.760 --> 03:44:31.440
calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like to be

1472
03:44:31.479 --> 03:44:37.879
able to really put my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles,

1473
03:44:39.360 --> 03:44:49.120
massage in every single tissue of that muscle, healing every part,

1474
03:44:55.120 --> 03:45:01.200
and then doing the same for my shins. Message in

1475
03:45:01.360 --> 03:45:08.879
and generally stroking the bones, generally stroking them, healing in

1476
03:45:09.000 --> 03:45:16.200
a loving way, because they deserve to be treated. There's

1477
03:45:16.280 --> 03:45:20.280
the precious bones that they are. Because our legs are

1478
03:45:20.319 --> 03:45:24.120
so precious as in all the other parts of our body,

1479
03:45:26.600 --> 03:45:40.479
the more precious at any jure on the planet. When

1480
03:45:40.559 --> 03:45:48.319
you start to think about your legs in this way,

1481
03:45:52.879 --> 03:45:59.559
they can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

1482
03:46:02.639 --> 03:46:06.959
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

1483
03:46:07.840 --> 03:46:17.840
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1484
03:46:17.959 --> 03:46:21.879
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

1485
03:46:24.120 --> 03:46:30.479
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your

1486
03:46:30.600 --> 03:46:38.600
fingers deep in there and releasing all tension, just to

1487
03:46:38.799 --> 03:46:48.239
show how much you care about your legs, how much

1488
03:46:48.280 --> 03:46:53.959
you care for what your legs do for you regularly,

1489
03:46:56.399 --> 03:47:06.559
your knees, your calves, your ankle, the strength of your ankles,

1490
03:47:09.479 --> 03:47:14.200
considering how thin they are compared to the rest of

1491
03:47:14.280 --> 03:47:24.040
your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, this so strong, so flexible,

1492
03:47:27.840 --> 03:47:40.639
absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because

1493
03:47:40.680 --> 03:47:49.440
of what they do for you, supporting all that weight,

1494
03:47:51.440 --> 03:47:55.840
regardless of how what weight you are, even if you

1495
03:47:55.959 --> 03:48:00.680
only eat eight stone, it's still a lot of weight

1496
03:48:00.959 --> 03:48:07.479
for these little ankles. Now I am a lot heavier

1497
03:48:07.520 --> 03:48:17.200
than eight stone double down, Yet my ankles support my

1498
03:48:17.319 --> 03:48:24.600
body all the time, or they do give off a

1499
03:48:24.719 --> 03:48:30.120
sigh of relief when I sit down. That's in fact,

1500
03:48:30.120 --> 03:48:39.159
my whole legs though, my feet, feet als go, my

1501
03:48:39.280 --> 03:49:06.840
toes clap. I'm so happy. Your legs really are amazing.

1502
03:49:09.479 --> 03:49:13.079
And I know that talking about talking about your legs

1503
03:49:13.239 --> 03:49:19.840
is probably possibly among the most most boring things I've

1504
03:49:19.879 --> 03:49:28.879
ever heard anyone say. Possibly you're boring or not. Everything

1505
03:49:28.959 --> 03:49:44.399
I said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs

1506
03:49:44.600 --> 03:50:04.079
deserve not just respect, they deserve to relax deeply. They

1507
03:50:04.239 --> 03:50:09.559
deserve to take some time out of the day to

1508
03:50:09.799 --> 03:50:45.920
just let go completely. Your legs really can relax. And

1509
03:50:46.079 --> 03:50:50.000
because the legs are so such a most you know,

1510
03:50:50.239 --> 03:50:56.159
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1511
03:50:56.280 --> 03:51:03.000
the rest of your body also natural really follows in

1512
03:51:03.479 --> 03:51:18.079
that journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

1513
03:51:19.479 --> 03:51:26.600
My hips feel really loose, and also my lower back

1514
03:51:26.639 --> 03:51:33.239
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1515
03:51:34.399 --> 03:51:37.440
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1516
03:51:37.520 --> 03:51:42.760
no stretching as far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1517
03:51:43.799 --> 03:51:46.440
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1518
03:51:46.680 --> 03:51:52.600
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension

1519
03:51:53.479 --> 03:52:14.719
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

1520
03:52:14.840 --> 03:52:22.719
down from ten down to one, and you can continue

1521
03:52:24.559 --> 03:52:51.079
to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1522
03:52:55.479 --> 03:52:59.559
Four three.

1523
03:53:03.440 --> 03:53:24.200
Two one. Relax. So I'm just going to count down

1524
03:53:25.719 --> 03:53:30.399
from five down to one. And as I countdown, if

1525
03:53:30.440 --> 03:53:37.520
you just focus on the numbers, just the numbers counting down,

1526
03:53:38.559 --> 03:53:42.479
and notice how you feel.

1527
03:53:44.840 --> 03:53:46.000
In this moment.

1528
03:53:47.440 --> 03:53:51.840
As you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those

1529
03:53:52.000 --> 03:54:05.040
numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer, not just in

1530
03:54:05.120 --> 03:54:13.479
your body, but also relax in your mind. Just notice

1531
03:54:13.559 --> 03:54:19.559
how you feel. There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say,

1532
03:54:20.239 --> 03:54:37.319
there's nothing to think about, starting with number five, four

1533
03:54:46.840 --> 03:54:58.079
three two.

1534
03:55:03.879 --> 03:55:04.120
One.

1535
03:55:13.559 --> 03:55:25.399
And as you notice the gradual letting go of the

1536
03:55:25.559 --> 03:55:33.159
tension in your body, you may also begin to notice

1537
03:55:33.280 --> 03:55:40.520
and be aware of how your mind is starting to

1538
03:55:41.840 --> 03:55:48.440
slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1539
03:55:51.079 --> 03:55:56.280
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1540
03:55:56.319 --> 03:56:02.239
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax,

1541
03:56:03.840 --> 03:56:07.479
and the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1542
03:56:07.639 --> 03:56:18.120
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that

1543
03:56:19.399 --> 03:56:27.280
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

1544
03:56:27.280 --> 03:56:34.280
if there's background sounds either your side orline, it's still

1545
03:56:34.760 --> 03:56:40.040
going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got

1546
03:56:40.079 --> 03:56:45.239
the television on, there's no music in the background, unless

1547
03:56:45.280 --> 03:56:52.719
you're listening to the recorded with music. Of course, you're

1548
03:56:52.879 --> 03:56:54.959
very likely not going to be sitting in a room

1549
03:56:55.040 --> 03:56:59.600
with other people. Of course you might be, but generally

1550
03:57:00.680 --> 03:57:02.920
more ideal if you can do this on your own,

1551
03:57:04.600 --> 03:57:14.680
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1552
03:57:21.280 --> 03:57:31.520
relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts to grow,

1553
03:57:36.040 --> 03:57:42.719
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1554
03:57:43.159 --> 03:57:54.879
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1555
03:57:55.040 --> 03:58:05.200
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1556
03:58:05.319 --> 03:58:12.159
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1557
03:58:12.360 --> 03:58:16.200
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1558
03:58:16.319 --> 03:58:27.920
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

1559
03:58:28.360 --> 03:58:38.600
the process of this recording and others is simply two

1560
03:58:40.159 --> 03:58:50.520
allow you to take advantage of this space, this time,

1561
03:58:53.559 --> 03:59:04.440
to just let go, to just be here, to be

1562
03:59:05.120 --> 03:59:18.520
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

1563
03:59:20.760 --> 03:59:32.200
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,

1564
03:59:33.399 --> 03:59:38.559
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself

1565
03:59:40.319 --> 03:59:55.360
in this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority

1566
03:59:56.600 --> 04:00:01.079
of the process of falling asleep to fall. The sleep

1567
04:00:01.159 --> 04:00:07.920
part is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper

1568
04:00:09.239 --> 04:00:31.680
relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. You

1569
04:00:31.760 --> 04:00:38.799
can also, if you choose stay focused on my voice

1570
04:00:40.520 --> 04:01:12.000
and really enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle in

1571
04:01:12.159 --> 04:01:39.479
your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting

1572
04:01:39.639 --> 04:01:55.239
go completely. This time, I'm going to count from six

1573
04:01:56.319 --> 04:02:08.920
down to one. You can notice your mind calming down

1574
04:02:09.399 --> 04:02:21.159
more with each number that you hear me say, naturally,

1575
04:02:22.239 --> 04:03:56.760
feeling calm and slow and peaceful sex five, four, three,

1576
04:04:34.799 --> 04:05:31.559
two one, being aware of how your mind to slowed,

1577
04:05:33.760 --> 04:06:00.280
rite down, sinking deeply into relaxation. As you fight, because

1578
04:06:00.360 --> 04:06:08.639
on your mind, you may notice that there are some

1579
04:06:09.559 --> 04:06:18.920
thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some

1580
04:06:19.200 --> 04:06:24.200
reason perhaps need your attention.

1581
04:06:31.239 --> 04:06:32.520
So what you can do is.

1582
04:06:38.040 --> 04:06:50.520
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love,

1583
04:06:52.280 --> 04:06:58.440
like all petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals,

1584
04:06:58.520 --> 04:07:05.719
feel good love towards those thoughts. To let those thoughts

1585
04:07:05.920 --> 04:07:12.760
know that you're not abandon the number. You just need them.

1586
04:07:13.959 --> 04:07:25.000
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet

1587
04:07:25.440 --> 04:07:41.360
down for now. So as you focus on those remaining thoughts.

1588
04:07:42.639 --> 04:07:46.680
As we count down this time from seven down to one.

1589
04:07:48.239 --> 04:08:02.319
With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals love, love, kindness,

1590
04:08:03.959 --> 04:08:15.760
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1591
04:08:17.200 --> 04:08:32.239
melt away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts

1592
04:08:32.360 --> 04:10:07.520
will become more and more relaxed, starting with number seven, six, five, four, three.

1593
04:10:58.719 --> 04:10:58.959
One.

1594
04:11:15.680 --> 04:11:32.639
And as you now notice how relaxed you're feeling in

1595
04:11:32.799 --> 04:11:54.360
your body, we're going to focus on your hands, because

1596
04:11:54.479 --> 04:12:00.440
the more relaxed your hands are, the more relax ext

1597
04:12:00.559 --> 04:12:21.559
your body and mind are. Theo's you focus on your

1598
04:12:21.719 --> 04:12:31.920
hands and your fingers. There's nothing needed to be done.

1599
04:12:32.920 --> 04:12:38.000
There's no clenching of fists or dents in the fingers

1600
04:12:38.120 --> 04:12:51.680
or anything like that. It's just noticing and focusing on

1601
04:12:51.879 --> 04:13:17.159
your hands. Notice and now they feel because the more

1602
04:13:19.440 --> 04:13:29.760
relaxed your hands feel, the calmer your mind feels, and

1603
04:13:30.159 --> 04:13:47.479
the more comforts you feel throughout your body. JE may

1604
04:13:49.959 --> 04:14:32.760
have already noticed you mind is starting to drift. Hicks

1605
04:14:32.879 --> 04:14:48.159
him just on your hands and fingers, allowing them cheat

1606
04:14:50.360 --> 04:15:01.760
experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands

1607
04:15:01.879 --> 04:15:27.959
and fingers, more and more relaxed with each number from

1608
04:15:28.120 --> 04:15:41.479
eight down to one. You can almost feel that healing,

1609
04:15:43.239 --> 04:16:00.600
relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming more

1610
04:16:02.799 --> 04:16:20.920
relaxing with each number going down, eight down to one,

1611
04:16:25.239 --> 04:20:36.159
drifting drifting again starting with number eight, seven three, just

1612
04:20:36.399 --> 04:20:45.399
being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1613
04:20:47.040 --> 04:21:01.280
nothing to say, and everything just feels calm. This is

1614
04:21:02.399 --> 04:21:09.159
your natural state of being. This is how you just

1615
04:21:10.319 --> 04:21:16.040
normally feel when you take away all of that other

1616
04:21:16.479 --> 04:21:24.159
stuff that we add, you know, things like stress and worry.

1617
04:21:24.000 --> 04:21:24.360
In and.

1618
04:21:27.280 --> 04:21:42.399
Overthinking, anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff. We take

1619
04:21:42.639 --> 04:21:45.120
that away, which is what we do.

1620
04:21:45.879 --> 04:21:46.879
What we do it Now.

1621
04:21:53.200 --> 04:22:04.440
You're left with a real sense of these which comes

1622
04:22:04.600 --> 04:22:13.920
to you very quickly, because ultimately it's just a feeling,

1623
04:22:18.319 --> 04:22:26.079
a feeling of comfort. It's almost as if you've gone

1624
04:22:26.120 --> 04:22:34.639
inside yourself, and you've found a special place where everything

1625
04:22:38.000 --> 04:22:46.280
is peaceful, a place where you can film relaxed and

1626
04:22:46.440 --> 04:22:55.280
joy natural sense of comfort, a place where you could

1627
04:22:55.360 --> 04:23:04.840
be here where you can accept yourself and who you are,

1628
04:23:07.280 --> 04:23:13.360
in the place where you're not trying to please anybody else,

1629
04:23:13.879 --> 04:23:26.639
in the place where you can actually not just love yourself,

1630
04:23:26.760 --> 04:23:32.200
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself,

1631
04:23:34.680 --> 04:23:52.000
appreciate who you are, a sense of gratitude. He's in

1632
04:23:52.120 --> 04:24:03.079
the air way around here. That's also a place where

1633
04:24:03.280 --> 04:24:13.639
you can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.

1634
04:24:20.280 --> 04:24:32.600
Healing energy soaking into your body. That healing energy spreads

1635
04:24:33.639 --> 04:24:43.040
through your veins, traveling to each and every single part

1636
04:24:44.760 --> 04:24:53.879
of your body, and you start to realize that actually

1637
04:24:54.680 --> 04:25:00.799
that healing energy, it's not just entered to your brain,

1638
04:25:03.600 --> 04:25:13.120
it's become part of your brain. And then spinal fluid

1639
04:25:15.799 --> 04:25:26.520
is now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you

1640
04:25:26.799 --> 04:25:34.840
to feel so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment,

1641
04:25:39.319 --> 04:25:48.760
but also you start to realize that actually, what's happening

1642
04:25:48.959 --> 04:26:00.319
now without healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body actually

1643
04:26:00.680 --> 04:26:10.879
changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're going

1644
04:26:10.959 --> 04:26:17.760
to feel not just now, but tomorrow and the next day.

1645
04:26:19.680 --> 04:26:27.120
As your health improves, not just your physical health but

1646
04:26:27.280 --> 04:26:34.680
your mental health, things that used to bother you in

1647
04:26:34.799 --> 04:26:42.399
the past, for some reason, no longer have the effect

1648
04:26:42.920 --> 04:26:51.799
that they used to because something has changed deep within you.

1649
04:26:56.920 --> 04:27:03.319
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1650
04:27:07.159 --> 04:27:17.239
no longer have that power to control you the way

1651
04:27:17.319 --> 04:27:25.319
they seem to be able to before. As you realize

1652
04:27:26.360 --> 04:27:38.799
that you're the one who decides what affects you, you're

1653
04:27:39.280 --> 04:27:49.159
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm when

1654
04:27:50.079 --> 04:28:05.000
you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing

1655
04:28:07.559 --> 04:28:16.159
continue it to grow and improve your life day by day,

1656
04:28:22.079 --> 04:28:30.280
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier

1657
04:28:35.280 --> 04:28:44.840
than sleeping. It's the most natural thing in the world

1658
04:28:46.319 --> 04:28:54.639
to you, because falling asleep is something that you've done

1659
04:28:57.639 --> 04:29:05.319
so many times in your life, and you know that

1660
04:29:05.559 --> 04:29:10.799
you were born, as we all were, with the ability

1661
04:29:12.399 --> 04:29:22.719
to fall asleep naturally. We were born with that ability

1662
04:29:25.680 --> 04:29:39.920
to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep. Even

1663
04:29:40.000 --> 04:29:44.719
when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep and we don't

1664
04:29:44.760 --> 04:29:50.760
even want to try to think us stay awake. Maybe

1665
04:29:50.840 --> 04:29:54.200
it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or

1666
04:29:55.040 --> 04:29:58.079
holiday or something we look forward to. We don't want

1667
04:29:58.120 --> 04:30:02.680
to go to sleep, but the more we want to

1668
04:30:02.719 --> 04:30:11.959
stay awake, the more we just start to drift. And

1669
04:30:12.120 --> 04:30:16.920
the more you fight drifting we try to stop yourself

1670
04:30:17.000 --> 04:30:23.399
and drift in asleep, the deeper and stronger that drifting becomes.

1671
04:30:30.360 --> 04:30:35.639
Because we're born not just with the need to relax

1672
04:30:35.799 --> 04:30:44.159
deeply and to naturally fall asleep, but it's our birthright,

1673
04:30:47.559 --> 04:30:57.920
it's part of our DNA, and sometimes as we get

1674
04:30:58.000 --> 04:31:11.920
older in life, perhaps at times we have forgotten relaxing completely.

1675
04:31:13.639 --> 04:31:27.000
It's not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

1676
04:31:38.399 --> 04:31:45.879
It's very, very easy to let go, because that's all

1677
04:31:45.959 --> 04:31:46.239
it is.

1678
04:31:46.399 --> 04:31:46.879
It is just.

1679
04:31:50.440 --> 04:32:02.319
Deciding to let go. When you press the play button

1680
04:32:04.639 --> 04:32:12.799
on my recordings, you have given permission for my voice

1681
04:32:14.399 --> 04:32:21.760
to relax. When you press that play button, you have

1682
04:32:21.920 --> 04:32:33.239
given me permission for my words to effect you in

1683
04:32:33.360 --> 04:32:50.120
a positive, only a positive way. Opening up your mind

1684
04:32:51.959 --> 04:32:56.879
too useful.

1685
04:32:58.000 --> 04:32:59.719
And he.

1686
04:33:01.680 --> 04:33:17.720
Suggestions that can have such an amazing effect on how

1687
04:33:17.880 --> 04:33:29.959
you feel right now, as well as those changes that

1688
04:33:30.279 --> 04:33:40.279
continue long after the recording ends, those changes within you

1689
04:33:43.119 --> 04:33:57.560
that continue to flourish and grow, transforming your life in positive,

1690
04:33:59.360 --> 04:34:09.000
beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in your life

1691
04:34:10.479 --> 04:34:25.240
in the direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling,

1692
04:34:28.040 --> 04:34:36.119
this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,

1693
04:34:43.919 --> 04:34:57.880
this feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

1694
04:35:05.759 --> 04:35:19.560
and that positivity grows within you each and every day.

1695
04:35:22.639 --> 04:35:32.400
Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed

1696
04:35:34.759 --> 04:35:47.080
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's

1697
04:35:47.159 --> 04:35:52.680
not that you're thinking slower. It's just that your mind

1698
04:35:52.799 --> 04:36:04.680
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negative because from

1699
04:36:04.799 --> 04:36:15.040
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're

1700
04:36:15.119 --> 04:36:25.919
going to start noticing when negativity arises and you can

1701
04:36:26.119 --> 04:36:40.040
just say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn around

1702
04:36:40.680 --> 04:36:59.959
and leave you alone. Stop and that negativity will disappear.

1703
04:37:08.200 --> 04:37:08.680
And as you.

1704
04:37:08.959 --> 04:37:18.040
Notice that you feel way more relaxed than you probably expected,

1705
04:37:24.200 --> 04:37:33.040
you can now congratulate yourself because you are the person

1706
04:37:33.720 --> 04:37:39.319
that has done this. You are the one that has

1707
04:37:39.520 --> 04:37:47.400
opened your mind up to the simple facts that you

1708
04:37:47.720 --> 04:37:53.000
can feel more relaxed in your body and in your mind.

1709
04:37:59.200 --> 04:38:05.119
You've opened your mind up to the birthright of being

1710
04:38:05.159 --> 04:38:22.000
able to just fall asleep easily when you choose, And

1711
04:38:22.159 --> 04:38:29.119
that's a nice feeling. Don't you think it feels nice?

1712
04:38:29.240 --> 04:38:38.560
Doesn't it? To feel calm? All the healing energy is

1713
04:38:38.720 --> 04:38:49.560
spreading through your body, in your mind to spend time

1714
04:38:51.880 --> 04:39:07.799
a special place where negativity can no longer enter. Negativity

1715
04:39:08.000 --> 04:39:16.959
is banned, it's barred, it's not allowed entry. Doesn't it doesn't.

1716
04:39:17.040 --> 04:39:25.439
This doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't belong here. Negativity

1717
04:39:25.680 --> 04:39:39.840
has no place in your life, which makes room for

1718
04:39:40.200 --> 04:40:11.680
more comfort, more healing, more relaxation, more peace. It feels nice,

1719
04:40:11.799 --> 04:40:12.159
doesn't it?

1720
04:40:14.000 --> 04:40:18.200
Just let go.

1721
04:40:20.159 --> 04:40:40.000
With everything. I'm gonna count down now from twenty down

1722
04:40:40.119 --> 04:40:49.479
to one. You can continue to relax. If you choose,

1723
04:40:49.959 --> 04:41:04.080
you can drift to sleep with every number hear me say,

1724
04:41:08.479 --> 04:41:15.799
you can fill twice as relaxed, or if you choose,

1725
04:41:15.959 --> 04:42:34.000
you can fill twice sleeping now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen,

1726
04:42:40.680 --> 04:43:40.439
two eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1727
04:44:08.240 --> 04:44:08.279
On.

1728
04:44:20.680 --> 04:44:30.479
This is your time to just take a break, your

1729
04:44:30.639 --> 04:44:41.360
time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,

1730
04:44:50.040 --> 04:44:59.599
to give yourself a permission to take a break, m

1731
04:45:03.119 --> 04:45:13.319
from everything, ensure the only person that can make that decision.

1732
04:45:16.159 --> 04:45:18.880
You're the only person that can actually tell your mind

1733
04:45:24.080 --> 04:45:48.159
just relax, to just take some time off so that

1734
04:45:48.319 --> 04:45:53.319
you can focus on your body, getting in touch with

1735
04:45:54.479 --> 04:46:10.799
how you feel physically, and in the process of this

1736
04:46:11.159 --> 04:46:16.080
body scan, where you focus on different parts of your body,

1737
04:46:22.479 --> 04:46:29.919
those parts that you focus on and observe, even though

1738
04:46:30.080 --> 04:46:38.240
you're not purposely requesting for those parts of your body

1739
04:46:38.439 --> 04:46:46.919
to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect when you

1740
04:46:47.119 --> 04:47:00.240
listen to my voice to feel more relaxed. Naturally is

1741
04:47:00.279 --> 04:47:10.040
when you're listening to me, your attention is focused on

1742
04:47:10.279 --> 04:47:21.799
my words, and as my words guide you to focus

1743
04:47:26.200 --> 04:47:41.080
on those parts of your body, your focus increases, which

1744
04:47:41.240 --> 04:47:57.159
actually calms your mind. And when your mind calms down,

1745
04:48:02.080 --> 04:48:24.119
your body relaxes. And when your body calms down, your

1746
04:48:24.279 --> 04:48:41.159
mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started to

1747
04:48:41.319 --> 04:48:53.959
focus on your body, you can already feel that healing

1748
04:48:54.240 --> 04:49:08.680
energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,

1749
04:49:12.840 --> 04:49:20.119
healing all the parts of your body, including your skin,

1750
04:49:21.279 --> 04:49:28.200
your bones, your blood, all of your workings inside your body,

1751
04:49:29.599 --> 04:49:36.360
all of the muscles, all of the fat, all of everything,

1752
04:49:38.240 --> 04:49:44.400
every hair on your body is filled with that healing energy,

1753
04:49:52.439 --> 04:49:59.840
and when your brain fills with that healing in it,

1754
04:50:08.159 --> 04:50:32.799
the feeling of comfort relaxation increases deeply, increases in a

1755
04:50:32.919 --> 04:50:46.720
way that in your mind starts to fill perhaps spit

1756
04:50:47.159 --> 04:51:03.000
drowsing because it's not needed, and it may start to

1757
04:51:03.240 --> 04:51:18.840
drift if that's what's needed. So if you're listening to

1758
04:51:19.040 --> 04:51:24.919
this and what you need is deep relaxation, that's.

1759
04:51:24.840 --> 04:51:29.080
What you get. If what you need is.

1760
04:51:30.759 --> 04:51:37.759
To fall asleep naturally and easily as your mind drifts,

1761
04:51:40.279 --> 04:51:54.040
that's also what will happen. Because by pressing that play

1762
04:51:54.159 --> 04:52:00.439
button on the podcast and listening to me, give mission

1763
04:52:02.439 --> 04:52:13.040
your body and your mind. In fact, you give the

1764
04:52:13.159 --> 04:52:22.080
command to your body and your wind to relax deeply

1765
04:52:26.040 --> 04:52:32.279
and to drift off to sleep, if that's what you want.

1766
04:52:35.479 --> 04:52:36.080
Or need.

1767
04:52:43.560 --> 04:52:49.240
Them. As I focus on the different parts of your body,

1768
04:52:54.200 --> 04:53:03.000
you may start to just drift. And then you come

1769
04:53:03.119 --> 04:53:08.360
back again and you hear me talking and I'm focusing

1770
04:53:08.520 --> 04:53:19.360
on a different part of your body. You may find

1771
04:53:19.520 --> 04:53:29.159
yourself drifting, being to realize you're drifting. Until you stop drifting,

1772
04:53:31.439 --> 04:53:38.599
you're alert again to my voice. Focusing on a different

1773
04:53:38.720 --> 04:53:48.319
part of your body starts to relaxee on deeper because

1774
04:53:48.439 --> 04:53:56.439
I'm drifting. It's basically here already in the sleep zone.

1775
04:54:02.919 --> 04:54:08.119
And the more you drift, the longer you drift, the

1776
04:54:08.319 --> 04:54:23.599
longer you drift. Eventually, that drifting continues into sleep, and

1777
04:54:23.759 --> 04:54:32.919
that's the last you remember until you wake up in

1778
04:54:33.080 --> 04:54:39.799
your own time, when you experience the right amount of sleep. Fear,

1779
04:54:43.759 --> 04:54:49.040
because when you do and if you do sleep, it's

1780
04:54:51.639 --> 04:54:57.520
extremely pleasant. So relaxing.

1781
04:55:00.040 --> 04:55:06.080
I'm so deep sleep.

1782
04:55:16.240 --> 04:55:24.880
I feel so nice to relax your own body and mind.

1783
04:55:29.840 --> 04:55:37.520
You feel that he energy is spreading through it. Relaxing

1784
04:55:37.799 --> 04:55:46.880
is so deeply, relaxes.

1785
04:55:46.400 --> 04:55:46.479
So.

1786
04:55:49.240 --> 04:56:24.040
Deeply. To start, focus on your eyes, ming down, totue down,

1787
04:56:24.759 --> 04:57:28.959
you back, your shoulders, am, focus, chest, stuff, you spine,

1788
04:57:36.279 --> 04:58:32.360
your fads, your ex faint, your jose, spreading grime inside

1789
04:58:32.720 --> 04:58:46.240
your body, feeling you up. Now let's focus again on

1790
04:58:46.479 --> 04:58:54.279
parts of your body, focusing this time on your forehead.

1791
04:59:00.759 --> 04:59:10.040
Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue, a whole

1792
04:59:10.119 --> 04:59:32.240
of your mouth. Focus on your fingers. Maybe you could

1793
04:59:33.840 --> 04:59:37.720
move your fingers a little bits. You can focus on

1794
04:59:37.959 --> 04:59:52.400
each one individually, both hands, and even though it should

1795
04:59:52.439 --> 04:59:57.880
focus on both of your hands, now they almost seem

1796
04:59:57.959 --> 05:00:06.720
to just melt into one where did your right hands start?

1797
05:00:06.959 --> 05:00:16.279
You know, left hand and no words as if just

1798
05:00:16.520 --> 05:00:33.119
mixed together. Now, focusing on your knees, just noticing how

1799
05:00:33.200 --> 05:00:57.720
your knees help. Now focusing your elbows, focusing on both

1800
05:00:57.919 --> 05:01:37.959
your elbows, just obsurd the faith of fess you sing,

1801
05:01:39.520 --> 05:01:58.680
I'm sorry, the bacack feeding my energy, the back back

1802
05:02:30.119 --> 05:04:03.560
upside acos. It's a good of sensation across. But if

1803
05:04:03.639 --> 05:04:04.639
of your faith.

1804
05:04:11.319 --> 05:04:12.119
Being with.

1805
05:04:14.119 --> 05:05:07.479
Hell, your choice, feel right now, ninety sent how you

1806
05:05:07.759 --> 05:05:56.840
insire body feels, noticing your mind feels now, lett him go,

1807
05:06:05.639 --> 05:06:46.799
letting go, letting go everything, letting go, letting go, let's

1808
05:06:47.680 --> 05:07:14.520
go everything. See, I'm going to start now, and I'd

1809
05:07:14.599 --> 05:07:16.919
like you just, first of all, just to see yourself

1810
05:07:18.479 --> 05:07:24.680
lying down on the message table, lying on your front.

1811
05:07:25.919 --> 05:07:33.880
Your head is supported, your arms are supported, and you

1812
05:07:33.959 --> 05:07:40.639
feel comfortable and breathing is really easy, and you feel

1813
05:07:44.119 --> 05:07:47.119
you feel confident in how you look as well. So

1814
05:07:47.560 --> 05:07:51.720
there's none of that issue of body problems or shyness

1815
05:07:52.599 --> 05:08:00.759
because I'm a professional and this is a therapy session,

1816
05:08:01.560 --> 05:08:08.959
so none of that stuff matters on whatsoever. This is

1817
05:08:09.000 --> 05:08:16.279
about you. This is about how you feel and how

1818
05:08:17.119 --> 05:08:24.319
you can enjoy that sense of comfort and relaxation that

1819
05:08:24.479 --> 05:08:31.040
comes from letting go and allowing my hands and my

1820
05:08:31.240 --> 05:08:43.560
fingers to relax you by messaging your body. So I

1821
05:08:43.680 --> 05:08:48.639
want to start off just by placing my hands on

1822
05:08:48.759 --> 05:08:53.319
the back of your head, just gently, just you can

1823
05:08:53.479 --> 05:09:02.159
feel what my hands feel like really on you. So

1824
05:09:02.319 --> 05:09:04.560
you can maybe feel the warmth of my hands on

1825
05:09:04.639 --> 05:09:09.959
the back of your head. And with my hands to

1826
05:09:10.040 --> 05:09:14.040
the side of your head, not pressing, but just holding

1827
05:09:14.200 --> 05:09:20.240
there very gently, maybe over your ears, and a little

1828
05:09:20.240 --> 05:09:25.040
bit on your face, so you can feel my hands

1829
05:09:27.119 --> 05:09:29.319
so you can become accustomed.

1830
05:09:30.279 --> 05:09:30.720
To them.

1831
05:09:39.319 --> 05:09:41.520
And now put my hands on the back of your

1832
05:09:41.560 --> 05:09:49.000
head again and gently let them slide down onto the

1833
05:09:49.080 --> 05:10:06.040
back of your neck. You can feel my hands gently

1834
05:10:06.319 --> 05:10:13.240
stroking the back of your neck to start with, just

1835
05:10:13.319 --> 05:10:17.360
so you can get used to the feeling of my

1836
05:10:17.560 --> 05:10:25.520
hands on your skin, get accustomed to realize that you're

1837
05:10:25.680 --> 05:10:35.520
safe and it's all good, it's all fine. And I

1838
05:10:35.639 --> 05:10:39.880
want to start gently messaging the muscles in the back

1839
05:10:39.959 --> 05:10:55.639
of your neck with both hands. And this is a

1840
05:10:55.799 --> 05:11:02.759
very trusting situation really, because our necks is so fragile

1841
05:11:04.080 --> 05:11:07.520
and to have someone have their hands around your neck

1842
05:11:08.319 --> 05:11:13.680
in that way can sometimes be problematic for people, which

1843
05:11:13.720 --> 05:11:18.040
is why massages are quite good, because it allows you

1844
05:11:18.159 --> 05:11:32.279
to relax and to get in touch with trust, to

1845
05:11:32.360 --> 05:11:44.959
feel peaceful and calm. There's a massage the sides of

1846
05:11:45.040 --> 05:11:52.919
your neck, gently moving from the bottom of your neck.

1847
05:11:54.639 --> 05:11:57.159
It would be sort of near where your shoulders start,

1848
05:11:57.240 --> 05:12:04.279
I guess, all the way up to your jaw, your ears,

1849
05:12:04.720 --> 05:12:10.080
kind of area that side of your neck, and of

1850
05:12:10.200 --> 05:12:13.040
course it's a lot longer than the front of your neck.

1851
05:12:26.040 --> 05:12:33.119
And message in the back of your neck, especially that

1852
05:12:33.360 --> 05:12:42.799
area where perhaps we hold tension, and there's that area's message.

1853
05:12:43.159 --> 05:12:47.200
You can actually feel a sense of release in the

1854
05:12:47.279 --> 05:12:55.159
back of your neck and maybe you can breathe it

1855
05:12:55.279 --> 05:13:01.240
out as well. Notice how it feels. Notice how you feel.

1856
05:13:11.119 --> 05:13:14.720
They're moving down to that area between your neck and

1857
05:13:14.799 --> 05:13:24.959
your shoulders, that musty area, starting to message that area

1858
05:13:25.040 --> 05:13:29.360
on both sides. I mean, this would be the area

1859
05:13:29.479 --> 05:13:32.040
that a lot of people would message if they were

1860
05:13:32.080 --> 05:13:37.040
going to give you like a shoulder message. Even that's

1861
05:13:37.400 --> 05:13:40.840
not technically the shoulders, but it's all the muscles that

1862
05:13:41.000 --> 05:13:47.200
lead to the shoulders from the neck and a game

1863
05:13:47.319 --> 05:13:54.360
that can hold tension and stress and when massaged sometimes

1864
05:13:54.439 --> 05:14:01.400
a nice deep message is useful. Do you decide how

1865
05:14:01.639 --> 05:14:19.560
deep that message is, and just allow my knuckles just

1866
05:14:19.680 --> 05:14:23.799
to dig in to get to those muscles and to

1867
05:14:24.080 --> 05:14:33.880
really relaxed and all the time and being firm yet

1868
05:14:34.319 --> 05:14:53.680
gentle with you and just stroking down the area to

1869
05:14:53.799 --> 05:14:59.759
your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of your shoulders,

1870
05:15:05.759 --> 05:15:10.560
and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders a little

1871
05:15:10.599 --> 05:15:14.000
bit off the table, just to give you a little

1872
05:15:14.040 --> 05:15:24.560
bit of a stretch, very gently, and you've got the

1873
05:15:24.680 --> 05:15:28.400
muscles at the front of your shoulders the sides of

1874
05:15:28.479 --> 05:15:39.319
the back. Again, this is a part that can really

1875
05:15:40.919 --> 05:15:48.599
take quite a bit of pressure, quite a bit of needing.

1876
05:15:49.040 --> 05:15:57.159
If if you wish to really release the tension to

1877
05:15:57.319 --> 05:16:04.000
really get into those muscles, you can let your fingers

1878
05:16:04.080 --> 05:16:10.080
in there. Make you feel really nice. Sometimes it's just

1879
05:16:10.240 --> 05:16:20.919
being stroked gently or being messaged quite strongly, can all

1880
05:16:21.000 --> 05:16:30.639
be beneficial to the real conversation with the muscles in

1881
05:16:30.720 --> 05:16:50.439
your shoulders. Now you move down your arms were doing

1882
05:16:50.560 --> 05:16:54.279
one arm at a time, starting with your right arm.

1883
05:17:00.880 --> 05:17:04.479
What I'll do is I just lift your arm up,

1884
05:17:05.439 --> 05:17:10.639
just hold it to the side of you that words

1885
05:17:10.680 --> 05:17:17.080
still be attached, and I just message the tops of

1886
05:17:17.200 --> 05:17:33.400
your arms all the way down to your forearms, into

1887
05:17:33.479 --> 05:17:57.400
your wrists, gently massaging that part, the softer part, which

1888
05:17:57.520 --> 05:18:03.799
is the under part of the arm, which leads to

1889
05:18:03.959 --> 05:18:09.319
the crease in your elbow, the inside it's much more

1890
05:18:09.520 --> 05:18:26.959
sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked feel really nice,

1891
05:18:29.680 --> 05:18:43.560
pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down to your right hand,

1892
05:18:49.599 --> 05:19:01.680
just holding your hand in both of my hands, just

1893
05:19:01.840 --> 05:19:08.479
pressing gently on the back of your hand, stretching your

1894
05:19:08.599 --> 05:19:19.400
fingers ever so lightly, at the same time pressing down

1895
05:19:19.479 --> 05:19:32.680
and massaging each finger, and then starting to massage the

1896
05:19:32.880 --> 05:19:45.680
palms and the hand. Just turning the hand, stretching it

1897
05:19:45.919 --> 05:19:55.360
gently and actually having your hand held can really be

1898
05:19:57.159 --> 05:20:02.799
an emotional experience sometimes, even if it is a stranger,

1899
05:20:04.799 --> 05:20:09.159
someone you don't know very well, like a massage person

1900
05:20:09.479 --> 05:20:23.200
or a therapist. Maybe because it's intimate, you can feel nice,

1901
05:20:25.880 --> 05:20:36.159
you can feel safe. And as I put that right

1902
05:20:36.400 --> 05:20:44.759
arm back down where it was, I did the same

1903
05:20:44.919 --> 05:20:56.479
with your left arm, exactly the same message in the

1904
05:20:56.639 --> 05:21:02.119
muscles in your arm all the way down to your wrist,

1905
05:21:06.240 --> 05:21:16.080
stroking the inside of your arm, just being gentle or

1906
05:21:16.159 --> 05:21:30.080
as firm as you require, and then massaging your left hand,

1907
05:21:36.599 --> 05:21:46.639
stretching the fingers gently massaging the palm of your left hand.

1908
05:21:58.840 --> 05:22:27.400
Your feels so relaxing, so comforting, and I just rest

1909
05:22:27.520 --> 05:22:39.959
your left arm back down. Start to message your back,

1910
05:22:41.680 --> 05:22:49.720
the biggest part of your body, starting at the top,

1911
05:22:52.959 --> 05:22:56.880
starting again where we already have been, an area at

1912
05:22:56.919 --> 05:23:03.400
the top in between your shoulders, near your neck. Going

1913
05:23:03.520 --> 05:23:08.159
back and massage in the area again, but this time

1914
05:23:08.520 --> 05:23:21.520
moving downwards, making it downward. Stroke to the middle of

1915
05:23:21.680 --> 05:23:29.840
your back, working from the outside inwards, a massage in

1916
05:23:29.959 --> 05:23:41.279
that your back, but the outside of your back, the

1917
05:23:41.439 --> 05:23:57.040
parts where your arms would maybe rest against, almost the

1918
05:23:57.200 --> 05:24:09.479
path that connects your front to your back, and just

1919
05:24:09.759 --> 05:24:18.200
messaging down firmly but gently, as firm as you want,

1920
05:24:21.639 --> 05:24:26.040
moving down, and then moving across a little bed, moving

1921
05:24:26.080 --> 05:24:32.119
all the way down again, be very gentle yet firm

1922
05:24:32.319 --> 05:24:43.959
as you choose. Eventually you get to the spine. We

1923
05:24:44.080 --> 05:24:48.159
can message the muscles and either side of your spine

1924
05:24:49.040 --> 05:24:52.040
from the top of your neck all the way down

1925
05:24:54.840 --> 05:25:03.799
to your lower back. We can do that a few times.

1926
05:25:06.840 --> 05:25:13.560
Sometimes people would use the knuckle or the you know,

1927
05:25:13.759 --> 05:25:18.479
the two fingers and just go either side of the spine,

1928
05:25:19.799 --> 05:25:23.520
almost just push down, go all the way down to

1929
05:25:23.639 --> 05:25:31.599
the bottom of the spine, each time releasing tension and

1930
05:25:31.880 --> 05:25:40.880
opening up the body, stretching your body so that you

1931
05:25:41.159 --> 05:25:59.400
feel more relaxed but at the same time rejuvenated. And

1932
05:25:59.520 --> 05:26:03.599
now and move to one side, to your right side,

1933
05:26:08.439 --> 05:26:12.959
and from the bottom of your ribs to your pelvis.

1934
05:26:14.040 --> 05:26:20.759
I'm gonna message that area of your back. I'll stretch

1935
05:26:20.880 --> 05:26:24.080
over the other side and i will pull the muscles

1936
05:26:24.680 --> 05:26:30.880
gently and massage and push from one end that side

1937
05:26:31.000 --> 05:26:34.880
or the way to my side to the middle of

1938
05:26:35.119 --> 05:26:40.720
fact to where your spine is. Massaging that side of

1939
05:26:40.799 --> 05:26:47.599
your spine the opposite side to where I'm standing. It's

1940
05:26:47.680 --> 05:26:53.599
almost like kneading bread. There's that big area which is

1941
05:26:55.119 --> 05:27:05.400
firm yet lots there to message. Potentially one of the

1942
05:27:05.479 --> 05:27:12.360
most important places to actually have a message, because.

1943
05:27:12.080 --> 05:27:13.599
You really feel it.

1944
05:27:15.479 --> 05:27:20.479
You really feel the release and the pleasure of having

1945
05:27:20.599 --> 05:27:28.080
your lower back massaged. It releases so much from your

1946
05:27:28.119 --> 05:27:38.200
body that's not useful, starting a healing process which will

1947
05:27:38.279 --> 05:27:51.319
continue long after this recording is over. The message in

1948
05:27:51.400 --> 05:27:54.560
this part of your body not only feels really good

1949
05:27:55.279 --> 05:28:01.439
for you, it's actually fun to do. Is as I said,

1950
05:28:01.639 --> 05:28:06.720
like kneading bread. It's a part that you can really

1951
05:28:06.840 --> 05:28:14.599
get hold of and really massage deeply. If that's your choice,

1952
05:28:22.599 --> 05:28:24.520
then I'm going to move over to the other side

1953
05:28:24.560 --> 05:28:31.000
of your body and do the same with the opposite

1954
05:28:31.119 --> 05:28:40.439
part of your lower back, kneading and messaging from your

1955
05:28:40.639 --> 05:28:47.279
sides all the way to the middle of your back

1956
05:28:47.880 --> 05:29:01.479
where your spine is pressing and kneading firm and gentle

1957
05:29:01.599 --> 05:29:11.439
at the same time. It feels so releasing this mixture

1958
05:29:11.520 --> 05:29:26.919
of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation or mixed together. Plus

1959
05:29:27.000 --> 05:29:31.400
there's that feeling from your stomach as it's being stretched.

1960
05:29:33.319 --> 05:29:36.439
Even though you're in your stomach now, you can feel

1961
05:29:36.479 --> 05:29:40.279
it being stretched because that whole area is connected to

1962
05:29:40.400 --> 05:29:51.720
your stomach. Now we're going to move or move further

1963
05:29:51.919 --> 05:29:56.880
up to your top of your body, and we did

1964
05:29:56.959 --> 05:30:05.599
the same this time, starting with your upper back. Put

1965
05:30:05.680 --> 05:30:11.200
my hands forward over and massive massage in that area

1966
05:30:14.159 --> 05:30:17.880
up to your spine, from the side of your body

1967
05:30:18.119 --> 05:30:22.840
up to your spine. So some of that message area,

1968
05:30:23.520 --> 05:30:29.479
that muscle tissue or whatever fatty tissue even will be

1969
05:30:29.759 --> 05:30:34.759
possibly from your chest because it's all connected. The chest

1970
05:30:35.000 --> 05:30:41.520
and the back connect together. I'm going to be massaging

1971
05:30:41.639 --> 05:30:46.319
and just pulling some of that skin from your side

1972
05:30:46.919 --> 05:30:57.360
up and massaging that area of your upper back all

1973
05:30:57.400 --> 05:31:04.000
the way to your spine. And then I'll move down

1974
05:31:04.080 --> 05:31:07.040
a bit and I'll continue with the middle of your back,

1975
05:31:07.240 --> 05:31:16.479
doing exactly the same thing. There's gentle as deep as

1976
05:31:16.560 --> 05:31:28.159
you choose. Now, I'll move or the other side again

1977
05:31:28.240 --> 05:31:32.759
and do the exact same thing with the top of

1978
05:31:32.840 --> 05:31:42.720
your back on the other side, from pretty much underneath

1979
05:31:42.759 --> 05:31:56.360
your arm area really to your spine, and then continue

1980
05:31:56.439 --> 05:32:03.000
in that all the way down, including your lower your

1981
05:32:03.240 --> 05:32:20.360
middle of your back. I'm gonna go to your thighs,

1982
05:32:21.680 --> 05:32:27.159
the backs of your thighs, and the sides of your thighs,

1983
05:32:31.400 --> 05:32:40.360
starting with your right leg. Massage in the back and

1984
05:32:40.479 --> 05:32:49.000
the sides of your thighs gently and firmly. There's a

1985
05:32:49.119 --> 05:32:52.520
lot of muscles there. It's an area that can be

1986
05:32:52.680 --> 05:32:56.919
very tense at times and maybe needs a little bit

1987
05:32:57.000 --> 05:33:00.599
more pressure than the rest of the body that's up

1988
05:33:00.720 --> 05:33:10.880
to you. You can gently stroke the back of your

1989
05:33:11.000 --> 05:33:16.880
legs where you know, opposite your knee joint or underneath

1990
05:33:16.919 --> 05:33:29.880
your knee joint, very sensitive, gentle area. And then working

1991
05:33:30.040 --> 05:33:37.479
down to your calf muscles, massage in your half muscles

1992
05:33:38.360 --> 05:33:51.680
thoroughly and deeply if you choose, using both hands fingers

1993
05:33:52.240 --> 05:34:05.479
digging deep to your ankles, in the back of your

1994
05:34:06.479 --> 05:34:12.439
back of your ankles, just gently massage in that area,

1995
05:34:17.919 --> 05:34:24.080
maybe lifting the leg and stretching it a little bit.

1996
05:34:34.240 --> 05:34:49.400
Moving to the right foot, massage in the bottom of

1997
05:34:49.479 --> 05:35:03.840
your feet and the size of your fate gently but

1998
05:35:04.840 --> 05:35:15.680
firm enough so they don't tickle, and just allow the

1999
05:35:15.880 --> 05:35:21.720
pleasure that you get from heaving your feet massaged to

2000
05:35:21.880 --> 05:35:28.520
just overtake you as I continue to message your feet,

2001
05:35:30.959 --> 05:35:38.919
the bottoms of your feet, the sides, your arches, your heel.

2002
05:35:41.360 --> 05:35:43.560
You can put a lot of pressure into your heel

2003
05:35:44.400 --> 05:35:49.360
and it feels amazing, Yet the arches need to be

2004
05:35:49.479 --> 05:36:01.200
a bit more gentle. Stretching your toes gently and massage

2005
05:36:01.279 --> 05:36:07.279
in the bottoms of your toes with my fingers, each

2006
05:36:07.439 --> 05:36:21.080
one individually. Moving over to the left leg to do

2007
05:36:21.240 --> 05:36:29.959
exactly the same thing, starting at the top of the thighs,

2008
05:36:32.200 --> 05:36:34.759
work in the back of the thighs and the sides,

2009
05:36:36.400 --> 05:36:46.759
massaging deeply and gently the whole area, working all the

2010
05:36:46.840 --> 05:36:59.639
way down. And this is an area that maybe you

2011
05:36:59.680 --> 05:37:08.080
could like to spend more time relaxing and messaging. Perhaps

2012
05:37:09.000 --> 05:37:13.840
if you wanted, I could make a future recording wants

2013
05:37:13.840 --> 05:37:22.759
spend more time on one particular area. As you moved

2014
05:37:22.840 --> 05:37:35.520
down to your calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles

2015
05:37:37.040 --> 05:37:50.919
firmly and gently, moving down your ankle into your feet,

2016
05:37:52.799 --> 05:37:58.520
Massage in the backs of your feet, the bottoms of

2017
05:37:58.599 --> 05:38:08.599
your feet, stretching your toes and message in each toe individually.

2018
05:38:11.200 --> 05:38:16.959
And the feeling of pleasure and release. The experience in

2019
05:38:17.159 --> 05:38:35.520
your having your feet and massaged feels really good. Now

2020
05:38:39.040 --> 05:38:50.799
she turn over in your mind. Laying on your back's

2021
05:38:50.880 --> 05:39:04.200
going to start again your neck area, in your shoulders,

2022
05:39:08.200 --> 05:39:18.720
just to get back in touch with that area. Then

2023
05:39:18.759 --> 05:39:30.400
lets you move up. I can clean my hands, make

2024
05:39:30.439 --> 05:39:34.400
them more fresh, because now I'm gonna message your face

2025
05:39:35.880 --> 05:39:50.520
simply starting off with your forehead. Your eyes are closed,

2026
05:39:51.880 --> 05:39:57.680
I can just stretch your eyes a little bit, pushing

2027
05:39:57.799 --> 05:40:14.680
up on your eyebrows, just messaging around your scalp, massaging

2028
05:40:14.880 --> 05:40:25.119
down your cheeks, around your ears, into your chaw chiently

2029
05:40:30.119 --> 05:40:48.040
the side of your neck, your chin, and just moving

2030
05:40:48.279 --> 05:40:59.439
down from your neck down to your chest, starting by

2031
05:40:59.560 --> 05:41:06.720
message image the very top of your chest where the

2032
05:41:06.840 --> 05:41:20.200
collar bone is. Give a side of the collarbone, and

2033
05:41:20.240 --> 05:41:32.919
then just message in the hole of the chest, moving

2034
05:41:33.040 --> 05:41:46.599
the chest around. Because it's quite a large area, you

2035
05:41:46.680 --> 05:41:54.000
can move from one side to the next. Move in

2036
05:41:54.400 --> 05:42:08.040
my hands underneath pretty much red arms, stretching up, stretching

2037
05:42:08.200 --> 05:42:10.599
some of the muscles of your back in the process,

2038
05:42:15.880 --> 05:42:24.520
moving up over your chest and then moving down again,

2039
05:42:37.279 --> 05:42:42.759
then laying my hands. They're just massage gently and slide

2040
05:42:43.080 --> 05:42:49.599
down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,

2041
05:42:53.040 --> 05:42:59.680
and then gradually my hands moving apart and massage and

2042
05:43:00.159 --> 05:43:09.639
sliding at the same time, moving down to just below

2043
05:43:09.680 --> 05:43:27.880
your redcage, moving down and then messaging up again, giving

2044
05:43:27.959 --> 05:43:36.000
your chest all the attention that it needs to feel

2045
05:43:36.319 --> 05:43:48.599
completely relaxed. Remembering that I'm also going to be focusing

2046
05:43:49.439 --> 05:43:54.720
on your sides as well, an area that really doesn't

2047
05:43:54.799 --> 05:44:01.919
get much attention but feels really good when it's massaged.

2048
05:44:06.840 --> 05:44:10.840
Just stroking my hands down the sides of your body,

2049
05:44:14.639 --> 05:44:18.040
just below your arms, all the way down to your hips.

2050
05:44:27.720 --> 05:44:33.720
Now move into your stomach area. I'm gonna stand on

2051
05:44:33.799 --> 05:44:36.360
one side of you like I did when I did

2052
05:44:36.439 --> 05:44:42.680
your lower back. I'm gonna do a similar process of

2053
05:44:42.919 --> 05:44:57.680
just stretching the muscles from your side, gently massaging from

2054
05:44:57.759 --> 05:44:59.400
one side to the next.

2055
05:45:01.439 --> 05:45:01.880
Move in.

2056
05:45:04.439 --> 05:45:08.599
The whole area from below your ribs all the way

2057
05:45:08.720 --> 05:45:19.560
down to below your belly button, and then move around

2058
05:45:19.680 --> 05:45:29.520
to the other side of you and repeat that process

2059
05:45:29.880 --> 05:45:42.919
of relaxing deeply, calmly. You feel loose, you feel free.

2060
05:45:45.319 --> 05:45:50.000
And there's something about having your stomach message that's different

2061
05:45:50.080 --> 05:45:56.880
from any other part because we do have a tendency

2062
05:45:57.520 --> 05:46:01.400
of holding a different kind of stress in her stomach

2063
05:46:02.840 --> 05:46:10.639
that we may not be aware of. There's an now

2064
05:46:10.840 --> 05:46:18.119
message your stomach. In front of your stomach, they can

2065
05:46:18.439 --> 05:46:29.040
circles around your belly button and then going the other

2066
05:46:29.119 --> 05:46:41.360
way around. The gentleness and a freedom that comes from

2067
05:46:41.599 --> 05:46:52.520
feeling how you're feeling. As I now move down the

2068
05:46:52.639 --> 05:46:59.599
tops of your thighs muscles message in them, and I

2069
05:46:59.639 --> 05:47:05.880
can do this two legs at the same time, pressing down,

2070
05:47:08.759 --> 05:47:14.880
massaging deeply those muscles in your thighs, the front of

2071
05:47:14.959 --> 05:47:25.959
your thighs, and moving down to your knees, gently massaging

2072
05:47:26.040 --> 05:47:37.319
your knees, sliding down your shins, putting pressure on either

2073
05:47:37.479 --> 05:47:49.639
side of your shin gently, softly but firmly, moving down

2074
05:47:50.000 --> 05:48:04.680
to your ankles, stroking the tops of your feet, and

2075
05:48:04.880 --> 05:48:10.959
then with each foot in each hand just gently messaging

2076
05:48:11.759 --> 05:48:20.040
the whole of the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel,

2077
05:48:20.560 --> 05:48:28.319
your ankle, your toes, messaging every part of your feet.

2078
05:48:33.080 --> 05:48:38.159
It feels so good just to let go and enjoy

2079
05:48:38.639 --> 05:49:02.680
the process, enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed. So much comfort

2080
05:49:02.880 --> 05:49:09.840
and so many feelings become just from touching your skin.

2081
05:49:20.560 --> 05:49:26.520
And you can just lie there for as long as

2082
05:49:26.599 --> 05:49:40.680
you choose, enjoying the feeling of deep comfort from being massaged.

2083
05:49:42.639 --> 05:49:43.000
By me.

2084
05:49:50.159 --> 05:50:15.959
Enjoy feeling deeply. And all we're gonna do is blow

2085
05:50:16.040 --> 05:50:32.360
out some candles. In your mind, there are going to

2086
05:50:32.400 --> 05:50:43.080
be a hundred candles, and you're going to blow each

2087
05:50:43.159 --> 05:50:53.279
one out individually, one by one, starting at one hundred.

2088
05:50:54.360 --> 05:51:01.680
As I count down all the way down to one,

2089
05:51:06.200 --> 05:51:15.119
and each time I say a number, you can imagine

2090
05:51:15.159 --> 05:51:21.599
that candle in front of you, and I'd like you

2091
05:51:21.759 --> 05:51:41.040
to actually physically generally blow that candle out, just so

2092
05:51:41.119 --> 05:51:50.360
it's not big blows, just a gentle, and that candle

2093
05:51:51.880 --> 05:52:01.159
will extinguish. And then I'll say the next number as

2094
05:52:01.240 --> 05:52:10.400
we move down, and you can just blow that one

2095
05:52:10.479 --> 05:52:20.240
out as well. And as we move down the numbers,

2096
05:52:24.759 --> 05:52:30.159
you'll find yourself feeding more and more relaxed.

2097
05:52:33.200 --> 05:52:33.959
If you need.

2098
05:52:35.520 --> 05:52:44.759
To sleep, you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy.

2099
05:52:48.599 --> 05:52:56.080
In fact, you may struggle to blow out all one

2100
05:52:56.240 --> 05:53:13.080
hundred of these candles. Less you feel more and more

2101
05:53:13.439 --> 05:53:41.319
deeply relaxed, more and more deeply tired. And the further

2102
05:53:41.720 --> 05:53:51.400
you go down, the more your mind starts to drift.

2103
05:53:57.799 --> 05:54:04.880
You may find the stop listening to me after a while.

2104
05:54:13.479 --> 05:54:17.919
And even though there may be background sounds where you are,

2105
05:54:22.799 --> 05:54:34.000
you'll be aware of those sounds at the moment. He

2106
05:54:34.360 --> 05:54:49.560
may start to just not even notice them at all

2107
05:54:52.360 --> 05:55:06.319
because they're unimportant. Where I am, I've got the sounds

2108
05:55:06.400 --> 05:55:13.200
of the birds, there's horrors, the pigeon who likes to

2109
05:55:13.279 --> 05:55:19.840
say hello sometimes, and there's the odd plane that goes by,

2110
05:55:22.880 --> 05:55:36.319
maybe traffic and trains in the distance. But none of

2111
05:55:36.400 --> 05:55:48.599
that scene is important whatsoever. Or candles you blow out,

2112
05:55:50.439 --> 05:56:03.200
the less important anything is. More candles you blow out,

2113
05:56:07.400 --> 05:56:28.720
the further seemed to move away sounds, general date days,

2114
05:56:29.159 --> 05:56:44.200
stuff seems to just move away on its own. You

2115
05:56:44.919 --> 05:57:09.439
feel more calmer with every candle blowout, guiding here the

2116
05:57:09.680 --> 05:57:22.639
next number? Do you hear me say? And then you

2117
05:57:22.840 --> 05:57:50.000
blow that candle out to So easy, so simple, I'm

2118
05:57:50.040 --> 05:58:04.560
gonna start by introducing the first candle. She's a hundred.

2119
05:58:09.000 --> 05:58:22.759
First candle, she is one hundred. When you blow that

2120
05:58:23.159 --> 05:58:42.680
candle out, you'll find immediately a light change in how

2121
05:58:42.799 --> 05:58:54.159
you feel, as well as a real sense of positivity,

2122
05:58:55.080 --> 05:59:29.439
growing revenue, relaxation in sleepiness expanding. Starting with one hundred,

2123
05:59:32.400 --> 06:00:13.880
blow out my candle now, nineteen nine, candle ninety eight,

2124
06:00:34.319 --> 06:02:13.560

2152

Four.

2153
06:57:02.360 --> 06:57:09.560
Let go of all of those thoughts, worries, concerns about

2154
06:57:09.639 --> 06:57:16.200
the past, thoughts about the future, and even things you've

2155
06:57:16.200 --> 06:57:23.959
been thinking about today. Just let it all go because

2156
06:57:24.040 --> 06:57:31.639
none of it is useful in this moment. This is

2157
06:57:32.639 --> 06:57:52.119
your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed, allowing yourself

2158
06:57:52.240 --> 06:57:59.919
to get in touch with that natural sense of peace

2159
06:58:02.680 --> 06:58:08.360
that we all have within us. It's available for everyone,

2160
06:58:09.520 --> 06:58:14.400
it just sometimes takes a little bit of effort to

2161
06:58:14.599 --> 06:58:20.639
set up the right time and place in order for

2162
06:58:20.759 --> 06:58:27.680
you to just let go. Because when you do decide

2163
06:58:30.080 --> 06:58:35.400
to let go and relax, that's what your body starts

2164
06:58:35.479 --> 06:58:45.720
to do because you've chosen, You've chosen to just allow

2165
06:58:45.840 --> 06:58:51.680
your body to unwind and your mind starts to slow down.

2166
06:58:55.040 --> 06:58:59.439
And it's a nice feeling. It's a nice feeling at

2167
06:58:59.479 --> 06:59:05.400
the beginning, just to know that you have chosen to

2168
06:59:05.560 --> 06:59:14.599
decide to relax deeply, and because you've made that decision,

2169
06:59:16.400 --> 06:59:23.439
your body will just follow suit. Because sometimes all the

2170
06:59:23.599 --> 06:59:28.319
muscles in your body need is just permission from you

2171
06:59:29.400 --> 06:59:37.880
to relax. Because so often we're busy, we're going from

2172
06:59:38.000 --> 06:59:41.959
here to there, we're walking around, and we're doing stuff,

2173
06:59:44.279 --> 06:59:50.599
and the body doesn't have any time or space to

2174
06:59:50.799 --> 06:59:57.759
really relax deeply. So it kind of waits for you

2175
06:59:58.080 --> 07:00:07.240
to lead the way, waits for your permission. And when

2176
07:00:07.279 --> 07:00:14.040
you do give your permission, when you give the say so,

2177
07:00:14.240 --> 07:00:22.040
when you say okay, it's time for your body to

2178
07:00:22.240 --> 07:00:30.959
let go completely and relax totally, your body just follows

2179
07:00:34.119 --> 07:00:39.400
some like a breath of relief. Ah good, I can

2180
07:00:39.479 --> 07:00:46.520
now relax. Have feeling at the end of a day,

2181
07:00:46.599 --> 07:00:50.439
of very physical day that you may experience in the

2182
07:00:50.599 --> 07:00:54.400
past where you get home and you just sit down

2183
07:00:54.520 --> 07:00:58.200
on a chair, maybe you kick your shoes off, and

2184
07:00:58.360 --> 07:01:04.680
a feeling so nice. I know that you don't have

2185
07:01:04.840 --> 07:01:08.319
to get up again for a little while at least,

2186
07:01:09.360 --> 07:01:11.759
and if you choose, you can just sit there for

2187
07:01:11.919 --> 07:01:25.240
maybe an hour to feels blissful. And just by sitting

2188
07:01:25.400 --> 07:01:30.599
down like that, your body knows that it's time to relax.

2189
07:01:32.240 --> 07:01:38.080
Your body has been given permission from you. Because it's

2190
07:01:38.159 --> 07:01:48.360
a mindset in your mind, you're prepared to let go

2191
07:01:48.520 --> 07:01:58.599
of everything and just completely allow all the stress of

2192
07:01:58.720 --> 07:02:10.639
your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just gradually vanish.

2193
07:02:17.159 --> 07:02:28.840
It's almost like magic, really, because that sense of relaxation

2194
07:02:29.159 --> 07:02:35.159
in your body, it's a very natural state. It's not

2195
07:02:35.319 --> 07:02:40.159
something unusual. It may feel unusual when you first start

2196
07:02:40.240 --> 07:02:44.720
to relax, if you if you haven't really spent a

2197
07:02:44.799 --> 07:02:49.040
lot of time focusing and giving yourself this space to

2198
07:02:49.240 --> 07:02:57.000
let go completely relax, they seem almost alien, but it isn't.

2199
07:02:58.520 --> 07:03:04.400
It's actually the most natural thing in the world to

2200
07:03:04.599 --> 07:03:14.400
let go completely, to relax totally, the most natural thing

2201
07:03:14.720 --> 07:03:19.840
in the world to allow yourself.

2202
07:03:23.639 --> 07:03:24.639
To feel.

2203
07:03:25.840 --> 07:03:32.439
Really calm in your mind. And it is almost like

2204
07:03:32.599 --> 07:03:42.200
a literal unwinding. It's like you press a button and

2205
07:03:42.360 --> 07:03:48.560
all the tension just releases, and it's like a wheel,

2206
07:03:48.919 --> 07:03:53.159
like a cog, like the inside of the clock, just unwinding,

2207
07:03:53.799 --> 07:03:57.959
and it's almost like you could see the little wind up.

2208
07:03:58.959 --> 07:04:03.799
Not that's you just going the opposite way that you

2209
07:04:04.040 --> 07:04:10.560
choose to wind it up. And the energy that freymetic

2210
07:04:11.759 --> 07:04:21.799
stress for energy gradually winding down, losing its power, losing

2211
07:04:21.880 --> 07:04:30.759
its strength. As a sense of relaxation becomes stronger and deeper,

2212
07:04:34.439 --> 07:04:43.200
and you may find at more relaxed, you feel your

2213
07:04:43.400 --> 07:04:53.360
mind starts to wander. Maybe you seem to stop listening

2214
07:04:53.439 --> 07:04:58.040
to me for a while, your mind goes somewhere else,

2215
07:04:59.439 --> 07:05:05.919
and realize you're listening to me again, and that's just

2216
07:05:06.080 --> 07:05:14.479
your mind to drift in to sleep, which is quite natural,

2217
07:05:16.000 --> 07:05:24.040
because sometimes when we're stressed and tense, we're may not

2218
07:05:24.080 --> 07:05:29.119
actually be aware of what we need. Are we physically

2219
07:05:29.400 --> 07:05:38.400
or emotionally need in this moment. But when you allow

2220
07:05:39.639 --> 07:05:45.439
your body and mind to relax completely and you let

2221
07:05:45.599 --> 07:05:54.759
go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas, all the goo

2222
07:05:55.799 --> 07:06:04.360
allow them to drop onto the floor, you start to

2223
07:06:06.560 --> 07:06:17.840
get in touch with the feelings of such relaxation feelings.

2224
07:06:18.119 --> 07:06:26.119
So nice to be in touch with the calmness of

2225
07:06:26.279 --> 07:06:35.040
the different body parts as they become looser and looser.

2226
07:06:39.080 --> 07:06:47.880
Believe in your breathing seems easier and more natural, effortless

2227
07:06:51.279 --> 07:06:55.200
as a cool aird is through your mouth or nose

2228
07:06:56.439 --> 07:07:07.439
into your lungs, breathing in comfort and relaxation, and then

2229
07:07:07.599 --> 07:07:16.200
just breathing out any excess remain intention stress from every

2230
07:07:16.799 --> 07:07:24.720
part of your body and mind. As you start to

2231
07:07:24.840 --> 07:07:33.560
focus on your mind, maybe you notice that things come

2232
07:07:33.720 --> 07:07:40.759
to a standstill or maybe just much much lower than

2233
07:07:40.840 --> 07:07:50.919
before because your mind is not really needed when listening

2234
07:07:51.400 --> 07:08:00.639
to my voice, which allows your mind to relax just

2235
07:08:01.040 --> 07:08:10.200
as deep as your body. And that's synchronicity between the

2236
07:08:10.360 --> 07:08:19.400
relaxation of your body relaxation of your mind.

2237
07:08:21.759 --> 07:08:23.000
Let you know that.

2238
07:08:25.119 --> 07:08:38.959
Feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed is a great healing

2239
07:08:40.040 --> 07:08:57.319
experience fear and has so many positive benefits for your body, mind,

2240
07:08:57.720 --> 07:09:04.840
and your life. To be able to lect go everything

2241
07:09:06.520 --> 07:09:14.799
and to relax completely, you know all parts of your

2242
07:09:14.880 --> 07:09:25.680
body and mind, even your boness are relaxed, All your

2243
07:09:25.880 --> 07:09:38.919
muscles are relaxed. Even the skin that covers your body

2244
07:09:41.880 --> 07:09:59.439
is relaxed. Every head that you have is also deeply relaxed.

2245
07:10:05.560 --> 07:10:14.479
Then your brain really starts to feel the benefits.

2246
07:10:15.720 --> 07:10:16.080
Of this.

2247
07:10:17.680 --> 07:10:29.319
Heathing relaxation. And as you focus on the in the

2248
07:10:29.520 --> 07:10:34.560
side of your scalp where your brain is, you can

2249
07:10:34.880 --> 07:10:42.799
start to realize and notice the benefits of your brain

2250
07:10:43.919 --> 07:10:58.040
relaxing demail And as your brain continues to react, sends

2251
07:10:58.400 --> 07:11:06.080
those messages is to the rest of your body and

2252
07:11:06.959 --> 07:11:28.360
your mind to really relax more deep, relaxily, more completely,

2253
07:11:31.919 --> 07:11:43.840
letting go of any remaining thoughts a concens allow them

2254
07:11:44.240 --> 07:11:49.919
just to drop onto the floor because they're not long

2255
07:11:50.040 --> 07:12:01.599
be necessary in this moment, this moment of deep reaxation

2256
07:12:03.040 --> 07:12:30.000
and calmness, feeling your brain with deep concentrated heathing, calming relaxing,

2257
07:12:32.520 --> 07:12:47.639
every part of your brain feeling so bruse and comfortable,

2258
07:12:50.919 --> 07:13:06.560
so relaxed and beeaceful. Your brain feels so light, that's

2259
07:13:06.759 --> 07:13:19.000
so healthy. That sense of deep, deep comfort really does

2260
07:13:20.200 --> 07:13:34.439
allow you to enjoy those ever increasing sensations of comfort

2261
07:13:36.119 --> 07:13:48.919
that are spreading throughout your body, relaxing each and every

2262
07:13:49.319 --> 07:14:06.759
muscle of your body deeper and deeper, much more deeper

2263
07:14:07.279 --> 07:14:25.319

So piece, so so relax.

2275
07:17:29.200 --> 07:17:44.639
And peace, letting go everything. I'm going to do a

2276
07:17:44.840 --> 07:17:52.560
body scan, focusing on firstly how you feel in your body,

2277
07:17:53.680 --> 07:17:59.319
Not trying to change how you feel, not trying to relax,

2278
07:18:00.599 --> 07:18:05.560
not trying to move away from any discomfort or stress

2279
07:18:05.799 --> 07:18:13.240
or tension. Just accepting, observing and accepting how you feel

2280
07:18:14.200 --> 07:18:19.159
in the different parts of your body, Just allowing yourself

2281
07:18:20.560 --> 07:18:28.000
to be exactly as you are, to notice, to get

2282
07:18:28.080 --> 07:18:36.680
in touch with how you actually feel in this moment.

2283
07:18:40.200 --> 07:18:46.680
I'm going to start off by focusing on your hands.

2284
07:18:51.279 --> 07:18:59.000
Just be aware of your hands. I'd like you to

2285
07:18:59.200 --> 07:19:04.159
move your hands around. Just maybe move your fingers a

2286
07:19:04.240 --> 07:19:10.560
little bit. I've been in closing your hands very gently,

2287
07:19:12.240 --> 07:19:17.919
just so THI you can get in touch with how

2288
07:19:18.040 --> 07:19:32.240
your hands and your fingers feel, very very slow movements.

2289
07:19:40.639 --> 07:19:48.400
Focusing now on your feet, and if you can just

2290
07:19:48.560 --> 07:19:53.880
do kind of an equivalent with your feet you've just

2291
07:19:54.159 --> 07:20:02.400
done with your hands. Maybe turn in your ankle, moving

2292
07:20:02.479 --> 07:20:14.279
your feet around, moving your toes gently, only very gently

2293
07:20:14.560 --> 07:20:26.479
and very slowly, noticing how your feet feel in this moment.

2294
07:20:33.400 --> 07:20:39.520
Focusing now and your eyes. I'd like you to just

2295
07:20:41.200 --> 07:20:47.000
focus on your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close

2296
07:20:47.080 --> 07:20:51.279
your eyes a couple of times to really get in

2297
07:20:51.479 --> 07:20:55.560
touch with how you feel when you do close your eyes.

2298
07:20:57.720 --> 07:21:04.119
The muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them,

2299
07:21:06.959 --> 07:21:13.360
maybe raising your eyebrows, it stretches the tops of your eyes,

2300
07:21:16.599 --> 07:21:25.000
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes, just so

2301
07:21:25.159 --> 07:21:33.560
you can really get in touch with all aspects of

2302
07:21:34.759 --> 07:21:53.799
how your eyes feel. Right now, now focusing on your thighs,

2303
07:21:56.159 --> 07:22:00.439
and then it just starts you to gently tense your thighs,

2304
07:22:01.799 --> 07:22:11.639
just very very gently, just enough so you can become

2305
07:22:13.200 --> 07:22:24.279
more attuned to the physical sensation of your upper legs.

2306
07:22:26.520 --> 07:22:29.680
The front of your thighs and the backs of your thigh,

2307
07:22:34.240 --> 07:22:53.639
noticing and observing how your thighs feel right now, moving

2308
07:22:53.880 --> 07:23:02.279
your focus to the back of your neck, just noticing

2309
07:23:02.479 --> 07:23:08.520
the back of your neck, the muscles, and of course

2310
07:23:08.680 --> 07:23:12.959
they lead to the side of your neck. They also

2311
07:23:13.279 --> 07:23:18.119
lead to the top of your back, which leads to

2312
07:23:18.200 --> 07:23:23.720
your shoulders. So as you focus on the back of

2313
07:23:23.799 --> 07:23:31.200
your neck, maybe you can move your head gently upwards

2314
07:23:32.360 --> 07:23:38.319
as if you're looking up. Maybe moving your head down

2315
07:23:39.759 --> 07:23:45.799
as if you were looking down, perhaps moving your head

2316
07:23:46.000 --> 07:23:55.520
side to side, right to left, but only very slowly,

2317
07:23:58.000 --> 07:24:06.240
very gently. I'm not trying to force anything. It has

2318
07:24:06.439 --> 07:24:15.520
to be very very gentle, just so it can.

2319
07:24:17.080 --> 07:24:18.680
Be more.

2320
07:24:20.360 --> 07:24:28.959
In touch with the feelings, with the sensations of the

2321
07:24:29.240 --> 07:24:36.040
physical sensations of how on the back of your neck

2322
07:24:37.599 --> 07:24:40.400
feels right now.

2323
07:24:47.959 --> 07:24:48.360
As we.

2324
07:24:50.360 --> 07:24:59.000
Now focus on the tops of your arms, the parts

2325
07:24:59.119 --> 07:25:03.159
where your base zips and your dry steps are between

2326
07:25:03.200 --> 07:25:10.279
your elbow and your shoulders. So you focus on those

2327
07:25:10.520 --> 07:25:17.360
parts on tops of your arms, you may like to

2328
07:25:17.560 --> 07:25:29.439
just tense them, but very very gently and slowly, so

2329
07:25:29.560 --> 07:25:37.360
you're straining or putting any pressure whatsoever.

2330
07:25:38.319 --> 07:25:39.200
On your arms.

2331
07:25:41.880 --> 07:25:49.279
It's just solely you can gain more of a sense

2332
07:25:49.560 --> 07:25:59.919
of how your upper arms are feeling in this moment,

2333
07:26:03.400 --> 07:26:16.000
just noticing as you gently, very gently and slowly tighten

2334
07:26:16.240 --> 07:26:27.040
the muscles and then let go. Notice how the tops

2335
07:26:27.159 --> 07:26:42.639
of your arms feel right now, as we now focus

2336
07:26:45.759 --> 07:26:53.319
on your stomach, the area the lower abdomen area below

2337
07:26:53.400 --> 07:27:02.200
your belly button, moving all the way down to your hips,

2338
07:27:03.319 --> 07:27:14.560
just above your grind, maybe you're able to tense these

2339
07:27:14.759 --> 07:27:32.360
muscles in that area very very gently and slowly. If

2340
07:27:32.479 --> 07:27:36.840
that's a difficult thing to do, maybe you can just

2341
07:27:38.159 --> 07:27:47.560
move your body, pushing your stomach up, maybe moving a

2342
07:27:47.599 --> 07:27:53.319
little bit to a side using your hips, just so

2343
07:27:53.959 --> 07:28:03.560
you get more in tune with how your lower abdomen

2344
07:28:03.840 --> 07:28:23.560
area is feeling in this moment. Just noticing the physical

2345
07:28:25.439 --> 07:28:48.400
sensations or your lower abdomen as. Move your attention to

2346
07:28:48.560 --> 07:28:59.799
your mouth. Notice in your lips and inside your mouth,

2347
07:29:02.119 --> 07:29:19.319
your teeth, your guns, your tongue, Just noticing how your

2348
07:29:19.479 --> 07:29:28.680
tongue and your mouth feels. It may help by moving

2349
07:29:29.040 --> 07:29:35.520
your tongue around your mouth, moving it to your left,

2350
07:29:37.279 --> 07:29:42.959
maybe pressing it gently against the side of your mouth,

2351
07:29:44.520 --> 07:29:49.479
and then to the right, gently to the side of

2352
07:29:49.599 --> 07:29:57.200
your mouth, perhaps pressing up against the top of your

2353
07:29:57.279 --> 07:30:04.560
mouth and then down gently against the bottom of your mouth,

2354
07:30:07.279 --> 07:30:18.680
always very slowly and a very very gentle.

2355
07:30:23.119 --> 07:30:24.279
So that you can.

2356
07:30:27.880 --> 07:30:40.200
Be aware of how you feel in your mouth area.

2357
07:30:51.479 --> 07:31:12.040
Now going to focus on your wrists, and I'll ask

2358
07:31:12.240 --> 07:31:20.840
you to maybe just routine your wrists by moving your

2359
07:31:21.040 --> 07:31:33.880
hands in a circular motion very gently and slowly, just

2360
07:31:35.720 --> 07:31:57.200
soly can feel the sensations that you are currently experiencing

2361
07:31:57.840 --> 07:32:10.560
in your wrists. Perhaps smooth in your hands up and

2362
07:32:11.040 --> 07:32:41.360
down again very very champ and slowly, very chance and slow.

2363
07:32:54.759 --> 07:33:11.799
As we now start turps your lower back. The bad

2364
07:33:12.159 --> 07:33:22.560
part is just above your hips where your coxis are

2365
07:33:30.080 --> 07:33:36.240
a whole area which also really does include the signs

2366
07:33:37.200 --> 07:33:42.720
of your body because those muscles are very much connected.

2367
07:33:47.959 --> 07:33:54.959
There's those muscles also move into your hip area, connecting

2368
07:33:55.240 --> 07:34:10.400
to your buttocks sids of your hips, and if you're

2369
07:34:11.680 --> 07:34:20.400
physically able to do so, maybe you can very gently

2370
07:34:22.599 --> 07:34:35.919
just move your body eviss slightly, very slowly some side

2371
07:34:36.119 --> 07:34:56.479
decide just enough ye gauge how you feel in your

2372
07:34:56.639 --> 07:35:14.840
lower back, perhaps secretly even your hips gently up and

2373
07:35:15.080 --> 07:35:31.400
down gently and slowly in order's real be in touch

2374
07:35:34.040 --> 07:35:57.799
with the physical sensations of your low back between the

2375
07:35:58.159 --> 07:36:14.240
were your attention to your jaw, an area for your chin,

2376
07:36:15.520 --> 07:36:19.639
all the way up to near where your ears are.

2377
07:36:22.799 --> 07:36:38.319
All of your jaw. You can just ye, it's okay

2378
07:36:38.479 --> 07:36:49.360
to do so. Gently open your mouth nor wide, no stretching,

2379
07:36:50.680 --> 07:37:04.279
just very gently and slowly open in your mouth, closing

2380
07:37:04.400 --> 07:37:26.159
your mouth very gently slowly so you cannot pin touch

2381
07:37:33.360 --> 07:38:06.799
how your jaw feels. Now I have to sit down

2382
07:38:09.680 --> 07:38:24.520
the chest around You don't need to do anything to

2383
07:38:24.759 --> 07:38:31.319
move your chest because it moves every time you breathe.

2384
07:38:36.639 --> 07:38:50.560
It moves very gently and slowly automatically with each breath

2385
07:38:50.919 --> 07:39:16.400
you take as your focun So your chest fim when

2386
07:39:16.599 --> 07:39:53.560
you breathe, live in your focus to your forms with

2387
07:39:53.720 --> 07:40:09.880
your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently and slowly

2388
07:40:12.319 --> 07:40:20.880
tense the muscles in your forearms, and when you do that,

2389
07:40:21.360 --> 07:40:44.919
you can feel your elbows as well, very gently and slowly,

2390
07:40:53.400 --> 07:41:33.360
gently and softly upside your forearms and depas make a

2391
07:41:33.639 --> 07:41:52.279
focus the rest of your back, your upper back and

2392
07:41:52.680 --> 07:42:10.639
the middle the middle of your back. Again, this part

2393
07:42:10.840 --> 07:42:25.479
of your body moves also every time you pray. You

2394
07:42:25.759 --> 07:42:39.479
may not notice that. Usually mas you observe your upper

2395
07:42:39.680 --> 07:42:47.040
back in the middle of your back. You can really

2396
07:42:47.639 --> 07:43:45.479
feel that gentle and maybe in your focus to your

2397
07:43:46.080 --> 07:43:59.240
hip area, butte broy there's a muscle, there's a nice

2398
07:43:59.400 --> 07:44:36.919
but your midsection. Just noticing how your hips.

2399
07:44:39.119 --> 07:44:39.400
Feel.

2400
07:44:42.599 --> 07:45:05.680
Right now you can very very gently move it's maybe

2401
07:45:06.240 --> 07:45:44.840
side to side and gently and so yeah, very chaly, softly.

2402
07:45:52.680 --> 07:46:15.919
It's everything starts to slow down, including the thoughts in

2403
07:46:16.040 --> 07:46:26.040
your mind and your mind itself just starts to gradually.

2404
07:46:28.040 --> 07:46:34.599
It doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting too.

2405
07:46:35.919 --> 07:46:44.680
It's almost like time is storing chin. It's a slower

2406
07:46:44.840 --> 07:46:52.720
pace to maybe what you're used to in your day

2407
07:46:52.799 --> 07:47:14.799
to day life. It's a slower movement of energy, very

2408
07:47:19.200 --> 07:47:27.639
small movements which make up the larger movements, which is

2409
07:47:27.680 --> 07:47:35.439
always the case. Now when you move your hand, it

2410
07:47:35.560 --> 07:47:38.319
might seem like it's one movement, but it's lots of

2411
07:47:39.119 --> 07:47:46.520
minute different muscles moving in accordance with each other. And

2412
07:47:51.479 --> 07:48:03.840
what happens in this space that we're sharing is we

2413
07:48:04.080 --> 07:48:04.880
move from.

2414
07:48:07.599 --> 07:48:10.240
That big.

2415
07:48:14.680 --> 07:48:31.720
Movement into those smaller movements, starting to focus on how

2416
07:48:31.840 --> 07:48:37.840
your body feels, and not just as a whole, not

2417
07:48:38.119 --> 07:48:42.560
just oh i'm feel in this way, I'm feeling stressed

2418
07:48:42.799 --> 07:48:48.439
or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm, I'm feeling

2419
07:48:48.599 --> 07:48:55.360
this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice that

2420
07:48:55.479 --> 07:49:09.520
your body begins to present to you small feelings around

2421
07:49:09.560 --> 07:49:27.319
your body, small physical sensations in your legs, whether pleasurable

2422
07:49:28.520 --> 07:49:42.479
or not. Maybe resisting the temptation to label them or

2423
07:49:42.599 --> 07:49:50.360
to judge them, those feelings, just thinking them, thinking about

2424
07:49:50.400 --> 07:50:06.599
them is just being neutral, just feelings, not being particularly concerned,

2425
07:50:07.759 --> 07:50:23.119
but just noticing what your body is telling you. Feelings

2426
07:50:23.200 --> 07:50:29.520
in your arms instead of feeling the whole of the arm,

2427
07:50:30.959 --> 07:50:40.159
Maybe notice those individual feelings, all those different muscles and

2428
07:50:44.319 --> 07:50:53.479
the skin, the hairs of your arms, all the internal

2429
07:50:53.639 --> 07:51:09.799
parts of your arms, the veins, the bones, just being

2430
07:51:09.840 --> 07:51:18.680
aware of maybe your elbow on your right arm has

2431
07:51:18.759 --> 07:51:30.080
a certain feeling. Maybe your left wrist also has its

2432
07:51:30.200 --> 07:51:50.919
own individual physical sensation. What about your forearm on your

2433
07:51:51.040 --> 07:52:03.319
right arm, your right forearm, there may not be any

2434
07:52:03.880 --> 07:52:11.119
particular feeling that you could even give a name to,

2435
07:52:14.880 --> 07:52:19.200
may not feel like anything other than just a feeling.

2436
07:52:20.119 --> 07:52:32.200
You know it's there. The feelings in your shoulders, perhaps

2437
07:52:32.279 --> 07:52:36.000
your shoulders when you think about them, kind of almost

2438
07:52:36.200 --> 07:52:42.919
like they're the same you know, the same feeling almost

2439
07:52:43.040 --> 07:52:47.680
like both of your shoulders are just one thing. Of

2440
07:52:47.840 --> 07:52:59.040
course they're not. And when you focus on your left

2441
07:52:59.119 --> 07:53:07.279
shoulder and then on your right shoulder, maybe find that

2442
07:53:07.439 --> 07:53:12.759
you move the muscles a little bit, maybe tense the

2443
07:53:12.919 --> 07:53:38.959
muscles gently, noticing the difference in each shoulder, your lower back,

2444
07:53:51.840 --> 07:53:55.520
the left side of your lower back and the right

2445
07:53:55.799 --> 07:54:06.720
side of your lower back. Of course that connection to

2446
07:54:06.880 --> 07:54:19.319
your buttocks and to your hips, and also moving up

2447
07:54:20.119 --> 07:54:33.360
into the middle of your back. And sometimes like right now,

2448
07:54:33.479 --> 07:54:38.279
actually when I focus on their part, when I focused

2449
07:54:38.319 --> 07:54:44.159
on my buttocks and then I focused on the middle

2450
07:54:44.240 --> 07:54:47.119
of my back, I almost felt like the muscles in

2451
07:54:47.200 --> 07:54:57.240
my lower back were being stretched very gently, just stretched

2452
07:54:57.319 --> 07:55:03.840
a little bit. Even though I wasn't doing anything to

2453
07:55:05.240 --> 07:55:10.959
try to stretch your lower back, it just seemed to happen.

2454
07:55:12.200 --> 07:55:29.759
The feeling of very gently stretching your lower back comes along.

2455
07:55:33.479 --> 07:55:56.799
I have feeling in your chest, just noticing what sensations

2456
07:55:58.400 --> 07:56:15.759
you like, uriance in in your chest right now, And

2457
07:56:15.880 --> 07:56:19.479
there's so much of the chest of Cobousely there's the

2458
07:56:19.639 --> 07:56:23.799
collar bone leading to the chest. You've got the chest bone,

2459
07:56:27.080 --> 07:56:34.880
you've got the muscles in your chest of course, if

2460
07:56:34.880 --> 07:56:43.040
you're female, there's possibly the breasts. If you're male, you've

2461
07:56:43.080 --> 07:56:49.560
got the different well why not that different these days, But.

2462
07:56:51.720 --> 07:56:52.880
There may be more.

2463
07:56:54.599 --> 07:57:00.880
Muscles at the top of the chest, but at the

2464
07:57:01.080 --> 07:57:05.959
side underneath it's pretty much the same. Whether you're a

2465
07:57:06.040 --> 07:57:11.080
man or a woman. There's muscles there, muscles that stretch

2466
07:57:11.159 --> 07:57:16.759
out to your back as well as breast tissue stretches

2467
07:57:17.360 --> 07:57:24.599
and moves into your back. To just being aware of

2468
07:57:24.720 --> 07:57:45.759
your chest, being with whatever feeling there is in your chest.

2469
07:58:01.279 --> 07:58:04.439
And when I noticed that, I focus on my chest,

2470
07:58:08.840 --> 07:58:14.080
I feel it in my back, my upper back. I mean,

2471
07:58:14.159 --> 07:58:17.080
I guess the obvious reason would be because you know,

2472
07:58:17.119 --> 07:58:27.840
I'm breathe in in then it stretches my chest and

2473
07:58:28.200 --> 07:58:42.080
my back at the same time. It feels it feels okay,

2474
07:58:48.680 --> 07:58:53.520
it doesn't feel I got a little bit of pain

2475
07:58:53.599 --> 07:59:00.240
in my right chest, a little bit, not pain, but

2476
07:59:00.400 --> 07:59:10.639
little discomfort, maybe stiffness possibly, I don't know. I notice

2477
07:59:10.680 --> 07:59:18.360
my shoulders are also wanting to flex for some reason.

2478
07:59:20.520 --> 07:59:27.919
I think that's probably part of my upper back, that

2479
07:59:28.119 --> 07:59:33.200
connection between my shoulders my upper back, because I can

2480
07:59:33.279 --> 07:59:38.080
move my shoulders and stretch the muscles in my back,

2481
07:59:40.599 --> 07:59:47.119
moving the shoulders backwards or up, which then moves. I

2482
07:59:47.200 --> 08:00:03.319
think it's the scapulous in your back. It feels quite nice. Actually,

2483
08:00:08.639 --> 08:00:11.799
a good thing about this is you can, if you

2484
08:00:11.959 --> 08:00:25.880
want to, you can just flex or stimulate the various

2485
08:00:26.119 --> 08:00:33.599
muscles in your body gently in order to get more

2486
08:00:33.639 --> 08:00:43.959
of a sense of how they feel. And when you're relaxing,

2487
08:00:48.759 --> 08:00:52.799
when you do tense and muscle, then you let it

2488
08:00:52.959 --> 08:01:00.360
go and you let it relax. It relaxes way more

2489
08:01:01.959 --> 08:01:12.000
than it would normally. But you have to feel that

2490
08:01:12.080 --> 08:01:15.799
you're able to do that. There's no point in doing

2491
08:01:15.880 --> 08:01:21.439
it if there's an issue with the per part of

2492
08:01:21.479 --> 08:01:30.720
your body. You need to be gentle with yourself at

2493
08:01:30.959 --> 08:01:44.759
all times when relaxing deeply, It's important to be kind

2494
08:01:45.520 --> 08:02:01.720
to yourself. As you notice your mind much as your

2495
08:02:01.880 --> 08:02:25.720
mind slowed down since we started this recording, How come

2496
08:02:29.720 --> 08:02:41.200
and peaceful is your mind right now? We have nothing

2497
08:02:41.319 --> 08:02:46.799
to think about and just my voice to listen to.

2498
08:02:50.919 --> 08:02:59.520
Because you know the intention behind this recording, this relaxation.

2499
08:03:02.240 --> 08:03:07.400
At the very least, for you to feel more relaxed

2500
08:03:08.720 --> 08:03:12.240
at the end of recording than you did at the beginning,

2501
08:03:17.400 --> 08:03:26.080
at the very least, for your mind to slow down

2502
08:03:28.919 --> 08:03:41.720
because your body continues to relax because that's what you

2503
08:03:43.360 --> 08:03:52.880
want to happen. That's what you expect.

2504
08:03:56.479 --> 08:03:57.400
To happen.

2505
08:04:03.159 --> 08:04:21.119
For relaxation, to fill your body, maybe calm in your

2506
08:04:21.319 --> 08:04:30.159
mind to the point of boredom. When you start maybe

2507
08:04:30.599 --> 08:05:17.040
to drift away, drifting, it's almost as if you're moving

2508
08:05:17.639 --> 08:05:25.520
further away from your body in your mind, just leaving

2509
08:05:25.759 --> 08:05:37.680
that there, kind of liking it an escape pod and

2510
08:05:37.799 --> 08:05:42.159
a spaceship a movie, a space movie. You know when

2511
08:05:42.159 --> 08:05:46.040
they get into a little pod in it. Since the

2512
08:05:46.159 --> 08:06:11.599
month far away from the spaceship, say three, I continue

2513
08:06:17.000 --> 08:06:58.919
to relats drifting so slow.

2514
08:07:11.639 --> 08:07:12.599
And peace.

2515
08:07:43.040 --> 08:08:06.639
And peace and focusing on that.

2516
08:08:08.840 --> 08:08:21.279
Feeling of those individual parts of your body that.

2517
08:08:24.479 --> 08:08:27.959
Or relaxing one by one.

2518
08:08:35.639 --> 08:08:36.119
You may.

2519
08:08:37.880 --> 08:08:51.560
Find that every now and then you realize that you

2520
08:08:51.720 --> 08:08:59.360
weren't listening to my voice. It gives your mind to

2521
08:08:59.520 --> 08:09:12.599
start it to imagine something different, maybe started to almost

2522
08:09:14.119 --> 08:09:23.520
move into some kind of a dreamy state, and then

2523
08:09:23.599 --> 08:09:30.319
you become aware of my voice again. And even though

2524
08:09:30.520 --> 08:09:37.159
you may want to focus on my voice, you may

2525
08:09:37.319 --> 08:09:48.599
also wish to allow your mind to just drift naturally

2526
08:09:52.040 --> 08:10:05.759
into that space of comfort and safety. As you feel

2527
08:10:13.599 --> 08:10:23.240
more comfort spreading through your body like a warm blanket

2528
08:10:27.279 --> 08:10:41.919
covering you gently, keeping your body it just the perfect temperature,

2529
08:10:52.319 --> 08:11:02.680
and even if you can hear background sounds, they just

2530
08:11:04.119 --> 08:11:17.919
don't seem to matter anymore. There's that sense of peace

2531
08:11:20.400 --> 08:11:34.919
spreads through your mind like a gentle breeze, yet strong

2532
08:11:35.080 --> 08:11:51.080
enough to blow away all negativity, strong enough to remove

2533
08:11:51.639 --> 08:12:01.639
from your mind any anxiety or stress that was there before,

2534
08:12:09.959 --> 08:12:18.880
and blow away any other thoughts or feelings that just

2535
08:12:20.680 --> 08:12:45.080
don't fit with the sense relaxation that is feeling your

2536
08:12:45.200 --> 08:13:08.000
body end your mind unless you focus on your mind.

2537
08:13:10.240 --> 08:13:16.159
The countdown from ten down to one, and with each

2538
08:13:16.759 --> 08:13:41.799
number you hear, your mind will become slightly more relaxed,

2539
08:13:44.560 --> 08:13:47.200
just just slightly.

2540
08:13:49.759 --> 08:13:49.799
So.

2541
08:13:50.000 --> 08:13:57.040
From ten down to nine, just a slight movement. From

2542
08:13:57.200 --> 08:14:09.479
nine down to eight, just another small change in how

2543
08:14:09.639 --> 08:14:22.639
you feel. Eight down to seven. That feeling is a gap,

2544
08:14:23.560 --> 08:14:29.119
almost like a gap that starts to get wider, the

2545
08:14:29.279 --> 08:14:37.520
gap between those feelings that you used to have in

2546
08:14:37.639 --> 08:14:46.560
your mind compared to the feelings you have there growing now,

2547
08:14:48.279 --> 08:14:58.119
feelings of comfort and security and confidence, and that gap

2548
08:14:58.520 --> 08:15:04.639
becomes wider. Make down to seven, seven down to six,

2549
08:15:08.319 --> 08:15:13.319
and when you get to five, your mind will start

2550
08:15:13.439 --> 08:15:26.400
to have a certain physical sensation, most like there's a

2551
08:15:26.720 --> 08:15:33.319
magnet outside of your head sucking the tension and the

2552
08:15:33.639 --> 08:15:41.319
stress and any remaining feelings that you don't want, sucking

2553
08:15:41.400 --> 08:15:50.439
them out through your skull. And in down to four

2554
08:15:52.439 --> 08:15:59.240
you could start to really experience that sense of not

2555
08:15:59.520 --> 08:16:09.680
just emptiness, but space, a place full of fresh air,

2556
08:16:14.720 --> 08:16:21.520
place where you can stretch. It's almost as if as

2557
08:16:21.599 --> 08:16:26.720
you go down to four and three, your mind is expanding,

2558
08:16:27.360 --> 08:16:40.439
with this sense of peace and tranquility growing as it

2559
08:16:40.599 --> 08:16:47.880
moves down to When you get to one, in your

2560
08:16:48.040 --> 08:17:00.319
mind just feels exactly how you want to feel most

2561
08:17:03.360 --> 08:17:18.279
perfect feeding maybe a sensation that you'd like to keep

2562
08:17:21.520 --> 08:17:32.319
a place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,

2563
08:17:44.040 --> 08:17:48.799
and you can stay in that that space of comfort

2564
08:17:48.840 --> 08:17:58.599
and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this

2565
08:17:59.479 --> 08:18:05.520
space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind

2566
08:18:07.080 --> 08:18:17.000
just by counting ten down to one. And this is

2567
08:18:17.159 --> 08:18:21.840
something that you can do yourself when you're on your own,

2568
08:18:26.720 --> 08:18:30.639
a time when you can maybe sit down, maybe just

2569
08:18:30.720 --> 08:18:42.759
for a few minutes, close your eyes, just count slowly

2570
08:18:43.439 --> 08:18:55.840
from ten down to one, and the re experience these

2571
08:18:56.040 --> 08:19:06.360
feelings in your mind and when you feel that way

2572
08:19:06.520 --> 08:19:22.240
in your mind. Your body copies your mind and that feeling.

2573
08:19:22.400 --> 08:19:29.279
It's spread through your spine and your nervous system into

2574
08:19:29.639 --> 08:19:36.319
every part of your body, travels through your blood stream,

2575
08:19:41.880 --> 08:20:02.360
heathing and relaxing every article of your existence. And we

2576
08:20:02.520 --> 08:20:11.680
can practice this a few times before the end of

2577
08:20:11.759 --> 08:20:16.520
the recording, and then you can practice on your own,

2578
08:20:18.599 --> 08:20:28.360
and each time you come from ten about one, the

2579
08:20:28.560 --> 08:20:40.479
feelings of comfort, calmness, and deep, deep relaxation become stronger

2580
08:20:41.919 --> 08:20:56.119
and deeper, filling your mind and your brain with these

2581
08:20:57.319 --> 08:21:08.119
positive chemicals spread throughout your body, relaxing you so quickly,

2582
08:21:10.200 --> 08:21:20.080
relaxing your whole body and mind so very very easily,

2583
08:21:22.680 --> 08:21:35.040
just by counting from ten down to one. That's what

2584
08:21:35.119 --> 08:21:38.200
we're going to do now. I'm going to count from

2585
08:21:38.360 --> 08:21:42.639
ten down to one. I'd like you to repeat the

2586
08:21:42.840 --> 08:21:49.680
number after me. So when I say ten, you can

2587
08:21:49.799 --> 08:21:52.520
just repeat to yourself.

2588
08:21:53.880 --> 08:21:54.119
Ten.

2589
08:22:00.159 --> 08:22:09.560
Notice, be aware of how you feel in your mind,

2590
08:22:09.919 --> 08:22:19.040
in your body, and when I say nine, you can

2591
08:22:19.240 --> 08:22:35.639
beat to yourself. Nine became noticing the increase in comfort

2592
08:22:36.000 --> 08:22:48.880
and calmness in your mind and in your body, the

2593
08:22:49.040 --> 08:22:58.279
same when I say eight, when I say seven, six,

2594
08:23:00.840 --> 08:23:15.119
when I say five, four, when I say three, two,

2595
08:23:19.520 --> 08:23:25.720
and lastly when I say one, you can repeat that number.

2596
08:23:33.200 --> 08:23:33.319
Now.

2597
08:23:33.439 --> 08:23:39.040
Of course, when you do this on your own without

2598
08:23:39.159 --> 08:23:44.159
listening to me, you can say the numbers or whatever

2599
08:23:45.759 --> 08:23:54.240
speed that you feel is necessary for you, so you

2600
08:23:54.360 --> 08:24:00.959
can adapt. So you feel you want to the numbers

2601
08:24:01.240 --> 08:24:08.080
ten down to one faster than I do, then you

2602
08:24:08.200 --> 08:24:11.959
go ahead and do that. Or if you feel when

2603
08:24:12.000 --> 08:24:15.759
you do it yourself that you'd like to have more

2604
08:24:17.560 --> 08:24:24.159
more space between the numbers, maybe take a lot longer

2605
08:24:25.400 --> 08:24:31.279
to get from ten all the way down to one,

2606
08:24:35.479 --> 08:24:48.000
that's your choice also to do. So I'm going to

2607
08:24:48.159 --> 08:24:56.319
count from ten down to one, and I want to

2608
08:24:56.400 --> 08:25:00.840
get to one. That will be the end this record.

2609
08:25:03.639 --> 08:25:07.560
Let's of course you're listening with music, and the music

2610
08:25:07.680 --> 08:30:19.119
will continue. Ten nine eight twenty ninety eighty seventeen, sixteen fifteen, fourteen,

2611
08:30:23.159 --> 08:31:09.080
thirty twelve eleven, ten nine eight, seven, six, five, four,

2612
08:31:13.400 --> 08:31:41.680
three two one. Now open your eyes, noticing how you

2613
08:31:41.799 --> 08:31:50.159
physically feel having counted down from twenty to one, allowing

2614
08:31:50.959 --> 08:31:55.360
stress and tension to leave through your fingertips and your toast.

2615
08:31:56.919 --> 08:32:01.639
And as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel

2616
08:32:01.639 --> 08:32:07.799
a little bit tingling, which is I suppose quite an

2617
08:32:07.840 --> 08:32:12.799
understanding considering the tension has been exiting your body through

2618
08:32:12.880 --> 08:32:21.799
your fingertips. So now I'm going to count from twenty

2619
08:32:21.880 --> 08:32:28.759
down to one again. This time you're going to feel

2620
08:32:28.919 --> 08:32:35.159
relief of tension and stress, any anxiety that you may

2621
08:32:35.279 --> 08:32:47.959
have leaving through your stomach, just leaving through your stomach,

2622
08:32:48.040 --> 08:32:54.200
almost as if it's just releasing the whole of your stomach.

2623
08:32:55.000 --> 08:32:59.439
You will navel to just above your chest or below

2624
08:32:59.479 --> 08:33:04.560
your chest, so surrounding your belly by area, the whole area.

2625
08:33:06.680 --> 08:33:10.880
You can feel the tension of your body where there's

2626
08:33:11.000 --> 08:33:16.680
left just releasing from that area, and you may notice

2627
08:33:16.799 --> 08:33:22.040
that your stomach will become very relaxed as I countdown

2628
08:33:23.040 --> 08:34:47.360
from twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirty, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

2629
08:34:51.479 --> 08:35:08.439
three two, or you can open your eyes again if

2630
08:35:08.439 --> 08:35:12.040
you choose, or you can just keep them closed because

2631
08:35:12.080 --> 08:35:18.880
it feels relaxing. Just notice how your stomach feels. I

2632
08:35:19.040 --> 08:35:22.799
notice there's your focus. Just do a little scan of

2633
08:35:22.880 --> 08:35:39.200
your body. Just notice saying your body feels focusing upper body, back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,

2634
08:35:42.240 --> 08:35:49.159
just noticing, and you know, you may start to feel

2635
08:35:51.639 --> 08:35:55.880
more a sense of tiredness, which may be the reason

2636
08:35:56.599 --> 08:36:00.200
listening to this recording because you.

2637
08:36:01.560 --> 08:36:01.919
Like to.

2638
08:36:03.560 --> 08:36:15.479
Let go completely of everything and drift or into a nice, natural, calm,

2639
08:36:15.840 --> 08:36:31.040
relaxing sleep. So now with the focus on your forehead,

2640
08:36:34.959 --> 08:36:37.720
and if you choose, you can incorporate your eyes in

2641
08:36:37.880 --> 08:36:44.759
this focus as well. Your forehead and your eyes. It's

2642
08:36:44.840 --> 08:36:49.319
that whole area basically almost as if you were wearing

2643
08:36:49.360 --> 08:36:53.720
a mask, you know, like a I don't know, Batman

2644
08:36:53.880 --> 08:37:00.479
mask or something, or I'm trying to sorrow, you know,

2645
08:37:00.599 --> 08:37:03.319
the kind of mask that covers your eyes but also

2646
08:37:03.479 --> 08:37:09.639
covers quite a lot of the forehead. Focusing on that

2647
08:37:09.840 --> 08:37:12.439
area because that's the area that we're now going to

2648
08:37:12.560 --> 08:37:20.040
release tension, stress from your mind, your brain, from your mind,

2649
08:37:20.159 --> 08:37:24.400
and any tension that you may have remain your face,

2650
08:37:25.400 --> 08:37:30.759
in your neck and your jaw, in your eyes, your forehead,

2651
08:37:31.520 --> 08:37:37.880
or your scalp. So basically any tension within your head area,

2652
08:37:38.560 --> 08:37:45.759
including your mind and your brain, that's going to be

2653
08:37:45.919 --> 08:37:54.279
released through your forehead and your eyes. As I count

2654
08:37:54.400 --> 08:38:12.319
down again from twenty down to one twenty nineteen, eighteen,

2655
08:38:16.959 --> 08:39:26.400
seventeen sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

2656
08:39:30.560 --> 08:39:55.799
three one nine, And she scared your face, but jaw,

2657
08:39:56.360 --> 08:40:07.319
your eyes, but cheap bones, your forehead, your scalp, your neck,

2658
08:40:08.799 --> 08:40:12.080
back of your neck and front of your neck, the

2659
08:40:12.360 --> 08:40:23.240
side of your neck, and your throat. Noticing being aware

2660
08:40:23.520 --> 08:40:34.599
of the comfort increased being in relaxation, not just in

2661
08:40:34.680 --> 08:40:39.759
your head and neck and mind, also the rest of

2662
08:40:39.840 --> 08:40:50.080
your body. Just notice how loose the calm you film

2663
08:40:51.119 --> 08:40:56.000
and how easily it is to just let go.

2664
08:40:58.840 --> 08:41:14.560
Completely, let go completely, how easily.

2665
08:41:22.360 --> 08:41:25.479
So what I'm gonna do about is I'm going to

2666
08:41:25.599 --> 08:41:33.279
focus on the top of your head. Am I going

2667
08:41:33.360 --> 08:41:42.200
to allow every last piece of tension or stress the

2668
08:41:42.360 --> 08:41:48.400
mind be lingering or hiding in your body or mind

2669
08:41:49.159 --> 08:41:55.959
my head to just be sucked down at the top

2670
08:41:56.000 --> 08:42:06.200
of your head atleast to Yeah, it was sucked down

2671
08:42:06.360 --> 08:42:12.439
into the clouds. Imagine a big cloud above your head.

2672
08:42:14.400 --> 08:42:18.279
It was like a whirlpool. This is gonna suck that

2673
08:42:18.680 --> 08:42:25.720
tension out the top of your head. Just take it away.

2674
08:42:27.840 --> 08:42:34.840
Good to focus. Imagine an opening on the top of

2675
08:42:34.919 --> 08:42:41.680
your head with that tension and stress and in made issues,

2676
08:42:41.880 --> 08:42:45.639
maybe worries of concerns that are no use to you.

2677
08:42:45.840 --> 08:42:49.560
Now you can all be sucked down at the top

2678
08:42:49.639 --> 08:42:55.759
of your head you have taken away. As I count

2679
08:42:55.880 --> 08:42:59.520
down again, I'm twenty down to work.

2680
08:43:02.799 --> 08:43:02.959
Now.

2681
08:43:06.639 --> 08:44:18.200
Twenty nineteen, eighteen seventy, sixteen fifty Fourteeneen twelve eleven nine

2682
08:44:24.720 --> 08:44:37.040
eight seven six.

2683
08:44:40.959 --> 08:44:47.319
Five four.

2684
08:44:51.200 --> 08:45:01.720
Three wha.

2685
08:45:12.000 --> 08:45:12.319
Breath.

2686
08:45:17.360 --> 08:45:30.840
Noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm you physically

2687
08:45:31.880 --> 08:45:45.720
and mentally feel right now, how peaceful your mind feels.

2688
08:45:48.360 --> 08:45:53.560
It feels so nice to just let go, to give

2689
08:45:53.599 --> 08:46:07.680
yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly, just

2690
08:46:07.759 --> 08:46:14.959
to take a break from all that pointless worry, concerns

2691
08:46:15.000 --> 08:46:22.159
about things that you don't need to think about right now,

2692
08:46:24.959 --> 08:46:30.759
because this is your time to let go. This is

2693
08:46:30.880 --> 08:46:41.119
your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful in your mind,

2694
08:46:42.360 --> 08:46:51.680
relaxed in your body. They can feel so good, so

2695
08:46:52.279 --> 08:47:00.560
nice to just not have to do anything, to be

2696
08:47:00.720 --> 08:47:11.360
able to really enjoy that serenity that comes of letting

2697
08:47:11.520 --> 08:47:16.919
go completely, that peacefulness that comes with.

2698
08:47:23.639 --> 08:47:25.000
Being in this.

2699
08:47:26.840 --> 08:47:36.880
Peaceful space. And you can keep this sense of calmness

2700
08:47:37.720 --> 08:47:48.840
for as long as you choose, If you choose to

2701
08:47:49.119 --> 08:47:56.319
drift off into a deep, healing, natural sleep. Then you

2702
08:47:56.439 --> 08:48:07.959
can do that. It's completely up to you, and you

2703
08:48:08.080 --> 08:48:12.680
can keep this feeling of calmness physically and in your

2704
08:48:12.759 --> 08:48:20.799
mind as long as you choose to feel completely relaxed,

2705
08:48:26.520 --> 08:48:35.279
completely relax. And I'd like you to make up your

2706
08:48:35.520 --> 08:48:48.159
mind that you're going to relax, and I want to

2707
08:48:48.279 --> 08:48:51.680
explore that with you what it feels like when you

2708
08:48:51.840 --> 08:49:01.040
actually decide that you're going to relax, forcing yourself, but

2709
08:49:01.240 --> 08:49:07.560
giving yourself that, Yes, it is a command, really, isn't it.

2710
08:49:07.639 --> 08:49:14.959
When you're telling yourself relax in a gentle but firm

2711
08:49:15.080 --> 08:49:22.360
way that only you can really tell yourself in that way.

2712
08:49:23.200 --> 08:49:25.200
You can't really have someone else saying to you, now

2713
08:49:25.240 --> 08:49:31.720
it relax, relax, you know, and it needs to be gentle,

2714
08:49:31.880 --> 08:49:35.360
But you can't. Someone else can't really have the same

2715
08:49:38.840 --> 08:49:44.919
the same kind of influence or power that you have

2716
08:49:46.119 --> 08:49:58.000
over your own physicality, over how you feel, because when

2717
08:49:58.119 --> 08:50:04.799
you say it to yourself it means more. It's personal,

2718
08:50:05.159 --> 08:50:10.759
and your brain and your unconscious mind and your body

2719
08:50:11.520 --> 08:50:17.759
listens to what you say. So, for example, we'll test

2720
08:50:17.799 --> 08:50:20.400
it out and do a little test, a few little

2721
08:50:20.479 --> 08:50:24.200
tests along the way, and you can get more of

2722
08:50:24.279 --> 08:50:30.799
an idea of the force, a positive force that you

2723
08:50:31.000 --> 08:50:38.479
can have in creating a sense of comfort and relaxation

2724
08:50:38.799 --> 08:50:44.720
in your body and your mind quite quickly just by

2725
08:50:44.919 --> 08:50:55.279
you telling yourself to relax. So I'm going to start

2726
08:50:55.400 --> 08:51:02.080
by let's focus on your hands. So focus on your

2727
08:51:02.119 --> 08:51:05.799
hands and just tell your hands to relax, and just

2728
08:51:05.919 --> 08:51:13.080
say relax. As you focus on your hands, you could

2729
08:51:13.319 --> 08:51:17.759
say my hands are relaxed, or I want my hands

2730
08:51:17.840 --> 08:51:22.439
to relax. I think if you actually do it directly

2731
08:51:25.400 --> 08:51:30.319
by focusing and imagining that your hands can hear what

2732
08:51:30.439 --> 08:51:33.680
you're saying. You know they've got little ears, which is

2733
08:51:33.720 --> 08:51:39.520
a bit weird. So talking to your hands and just

2734
08:51:39.599 --> 08:52:08.080
say relax, noticin how your hands start to relax. Now

2735
08:52:08.200 --> 08:52:11.439
focus on your eyes and tell your eyes to relax.

2736
08:52:12.840 --> 08:52:17.400
Just say in the same word relax and find the

2737
08:52:17.599 --> 08:52:25.000
right tone for you. You know, I might say relax,

2738
08:52:25.680 --> 08:52:33.799
but you you might say relax or relax. You know,

2739
08:52:34.119 --> 08:52:39.759
you might say it differently to yourself, and that's important

2740
08:52:40.639 --> 08:52:46.720
for you to gauge what feels right for you. To

2741
08:52:46.959 --> 08:52:52.119
just tell your eyes to relax. Whilst focusing on your eyes,

2742
08:52:52.639 --> 08:52:57.360
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes your eyebrows and

2743
08:52:57.599 --> 08:53:33.080
just tell your eyes directly relax now. Now I just

2744
08:53:33.200 --> 08:53:43.479
did that myself, and sometimes you may feel that you

2745
08:53:43.680 --> 08:53:49.119
need a bit more time for the different parts to relax,

2746
08:53:49.959 --> 08:53:53.799
you know, because I start talking again and maybe that

2747
08:53:54.040 --> 08:53:57.639
part hasn't relaxed fully. But what will happen is it

2748
08:53:57.680 --> 08:54:02.319
will just continue to relax even though I'm okay, that's

2749
08:54:02.400 --> 08:54:09.959
happened with my eyes. Something else I noticed is when

2750
08:54:10.000 --> 08:54:14.159
I started focusing on my eyes, they actually almost became

2751
08:54:14.279 --> 08:54:16.439
They got worse before they got better in a way.

2752
08:54:17.159 --> 08:54:20.240
So I felt a degree of tension growing in my

2753
08:54:20.360 --> 08:54:26.319
eyes and then disappearing. So I think what that was

2754
08:54:26.439 --> 08:54:30.880
really it was just me becoming more aware of the

2755
08:54:31.119 --> 08:54:36.439
tension that was already there that I wasn't. I wasn't

2756
08:54:36.520 --> 08:54:41.520
focused on it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging it

2757
08:54:42.080 --> 08:54:58.599
or really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes is

2758
08:54:58.840 --> 08:55:02.360
still continuing to lax, as well as my hands. Actually,

2759
08:55:05.840 --> 08:55:07.400
my hands have got a certain.

2760
08:55:07.240 --> 08:55:07.560
Kind of.

2761
08:55:10.400 --> 08:55:16.119
Energy, like not buzzing, but I can kind of fear

2762
08:55:16.200 --> 08:55:22.000
a degree of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where

2763
08:55:22.040 --> 08:55:34.080
the tension is being released. Maybe that's causing that. The

2764
08:55:34.200 --> 08:55:36.479
next part I think we should focus on the back

2765
08:55:36.520 --> 08:55:39.080
of the neck. That's the part which is quite often

2766
08:55:41.119 --> 08:55:43.599
well for me, holds tension. I don't know about it

2767
08:55:43.639 --> 08:55:48.279
for yourself, but I think it's quite a standard place

2768
08:55:48.400 --> 08:55:55.759
where tension is sometimes held. So and I'm doing exactly

2769
08:55:55.840 --> 08:55:58.159
what you're doing as you do it as well, so

2770
08:55:58.360 --> 08:56:02.880
I'm telling my body parts to relax as well. So

2771
08:56:02.959 --> 08:56:05.119
if you tell your neck the back of your neck,

2772
08:56:05.680 --> 08:56:07.880
focus on the back of your neck, and just say

2773
08:56:10.759 --> 08:56:15.279
relax in your own words, in your own tone, in

2774
08:56:15.360 --> 08:56:18.159
your own voice. You can say out loud, or you

2775
08:56:18.240 --> 08:56:23.159
can just say it to yourself internally, but you're focusing

2776
08:56:23.599 --> 08:56:27.479
and you're saying it literally to the back of your neck,

2777
08:56:28.319 --> 08:56:30.799
as if the back of your neck can actually hear

2778
08:56:31.639 --> 08:56:38.400
what you're saying. So do that now, just say relax,

2779
08:56:38.919 --> 08:56:41.840
so the back of your neck, and I'll do the same.

2780
08:57:20.680 --> 08:57:20.799
Now.

2781
08:57:20.880 --> 08:57:24.400
What I noticed, and you may have had similar thing

2782
08:57:25.880 --> 08:57:28.840
is even though I was focusing on the back of

2783
08:57:28.919 --> 08:57:40.279
my neck, other parts started to I don't know, show

2784
08:57:40.360 --> 08:57:43.560
themselves to me, or maybe because they want to be

2785
08:57:43.639 --> 08:57:47.479
relaxed as well. But I started noticing the feelings in

2786
08:57:47.560 --> 08:57:51.479
my shoulders, tension in my shoulders and in my upper back,

2787
08:57:54.560 --> 08:57:59.080
whether that was because my back of my neck was saying,

2788
08:58:00.599 --> 08:58:05.560
I'm pretty much okay, it's the other parts that need attention,

2789
08:58:11.959 --> 08:58:14.119
but my low of my back of my neck is

2790
08:58:14.159 --> 08:58:18.319
still relaxing. But I just became more aware of other

2791
08:58:18.439 --> 08:58:26.200
parts that needed attention. Now, this might happen, and it's not.

2792
08:58:27.799 --> 08:58:30.319
It doesn't mean that it's going wrong. It just means

2793
08:58:31.159 --> 08:58:37.200
you're being notified of more places that also want to

2794
08:58:37.279 --> 08:58:44.360
feel relaxed. So I'm going to focus on my other back.

2795
08:58:45.639 --> 08:58:49.400
So you can do the same, even if you don't

2796
08:58:49.520 --> 08:58:54.439
have any feelings of tension that are obvious in your

2797
08:58:54.520 --> 08:59:01.119
other back. You just focus on your back and the

2798
08:59:01.200 --> 08:59:06.240
whole area from the shoulder blades down to the middle

2799
08:59:06.279 --> 08:59:10.479
of your back and your spine. And with me, it's

2800
08:59:10.599 --> 08:59:18.360
more the shoulder blades the more. Yeah, that's the parts

2801
08:59:18.479 --> 08:59:26.759
that are really sort of given me the not that

2802
08:59:26.880 --> 08:59:30.119
it needs relaxing. The sounds. Gonna ask that pad to relax,

2803
08:59:31.360 --> 08:59:45.119
and you can do the same. Now, relax upper back.

2804
08:59:57.319 --> 09:00:02.360
There's something strange happened there, and the this often happens.

2805
09:00:02.400 --> 09:00:08.479
I've been doing this for sixteen years or something, and

2806
09:00:08.759 --> 09:00:17.439
often I'm one surprised but amazed really that there can

2807
09:00:17.520 --> 09:00:21.720
be a feeling. So when I was focusing on the

2808
09:00:21.799 --> 09:00:25.799
back of my neck, my upper back was starting to

2809
09:00:26.000 --> 09:00:32.319
feel quite stressed and in need of attention. As soon

2810
09:00:32.400 --> 09:00:35.720
as I started talking to you about my upper back

2811
09:00:36.560 --> 09:00:41.080
and talking about, you know, getting ready to ask the

2812
09:00:41.240 --> 09:00:46.319
upper back to relax, MyPa back already started to relax.

2813
09:00:49.040 --> 09:00:52.200
It's almost as if it doesn't need to hear the words,

2814
09:00:53.200 --> 09:01:10.919
just needs attention, just needs to be noticed. And that

2815
09:01:11.119 --> 09:01:16.840
is something that often happens in this type of situation.

2816
09:01:18.599 --> 09:01:23.919
Is when you start to relax a couple of parts

2817
09:01:23.959 --> 09:01:28.720
of your body, as we've done with our hands, our

2818
09:01:28.919 --> 09:01:38.720
eyes and eyelids, and now back of the neck, top

2819
09:01:38.759 --> 09:01:43.919
of the back, upper back, the rest of the body

2820
09:01:44.040 --> 09:01:51.639
seems to just take notice and decide in its own

2821
09:01:51.840 --> 09:02:00.400
way to start relaxing other parts of your body out.

2822
09:02:00.360 --> 09:02:00.720
To just.

2823
09:02:02.439 --> 09:02:09.799
Become looser. I suppose it's kind of like a bit

2824
09:02:09.840 --> 09:02:14.360
of an avalanche, you know, the little ball starts rolling

2825
09:02:14.520 --> 09:02:17.240
and before you know it, the whole of your body

2826
09:02:17.400 --> 09:02:30.159
is completely relaxed and can't think. You focus on your face.

2827
09:02:35.479 --> 09:02:42.279
You focus on your eyes, your eyelids, your eyebrows, and

2828
09:02:43.200 --> 09:02:51.799
the muscles around your eyes. Maybe you start to notice

2829
09:02:51.919 --> 09:02:58.599
that your forehead is more relaxed than it was. Maybe

2830
09:02:58.680 --> 09:03:04.279
your face is more relax I would say my entire

2831
09:03:04.400 --> 09:03:19.240
face is a lot more relaxed than it was. So

2832
09:03:19.319 --> 09:03:25.279
you're going to focus now on your shoulders again, just

2833
09:03:25.439 --> 09:03:30.400
like before. Just tell your shoulders and you can do

2834
09:03:30.520 --> 09:03:32.880
them in the digity. You can do the right shoulder

2835
09:03:32.880 --> 09:03:36.680
and left shoulder. I just didn't do both at the

2836
09:03:36.759 --> 09:03:42.080
same time. And just tell your shoulders as you focus

2837
09:03:42.240 --> 09:03:45.639
on them in your mind, focus on them and they

2838
09:03:45.799 --> 09:03:51.119
feel maybe you can see them in your mind's eye.

2839
09:03:54.720 --> 09:04:38.880
Just tell your shoulders to acts as nice as they

2840
09:04:38.959 --> 09:04:54.919
were acts. But I didn't notice, especially with my back,

2841
09:04:57.639 --> 09:05:04.040
is the connection between the from parts, the back, the shoulders,

2842
09:05:04.159 --> 09:05:14.159
the neck being all connected and being such a large

2843
09:05:14.279 --> 09:05:19.840
part of your body, it's a it's hard to separate

2844
09:05:19.959 --> 09:05:28.000
them from each other. And my lower back is starting

2845
09:05:28.080 --> 09:05:29.319
to relax on its own.

2846
09:05:35.520 --> 09:05:36.639
Maybe I'm going too.

2847
09:05:36.639 --> 09:05:42.639
Slow and that could be an issue because we all

2848
09:05:42.720 --> 09:05:49.080
go at different speeds. And the idea of the beginning

2849
09:05:49.159 --> 09:05:51.520
of this recording was for you to be able to

2850
09:05:51.759 --> 09:06:08.120
just say to yourself, relax without focusing on any particular

2851
09:06:08.319 --> 09:06:12.400
part of your body. Because when you.

2852
09:06:12.519 --> 09:06:23.360
Know that telling your hands to relax, and your hand relax.

2853
09:06:25.919 --> 09:06:32.919
You tell your eyelids, your eyes, and muscles around your

2854
09:06:33.040 --> 09:06:47.959
eyes and your eyebrows to relax, and they relax. You

2855
09:06:48.199 --> 09:07:00.519
tell the back of your neck to relax and axies.

2856
09:07:08.480 --> 09:07:28.199
You tell your upper back to relax, and they relaxes.

2857
09:07:35.919 --> 09:07:37.879
You tell your shoulders.

2858
09:07:39.199 --> 09:07:51.360
To relax, and they relax.

2859
09:08:15.040 --> 09:08:19.120
You told your hands to relax, they relaxed, and they

2860
09:08:19.239 --> 09:08:32.839
continued to relax. When you told your eyelids, the muscles

2861
09:08:32.879 --> 09:08:43.360
around your eyes, your eyebrows to relax, they relaxed and

2862
09:08:43.680 --> 09:08:54.559
continue to relax. When you told the back of your

2863
09:08:54.680 --> 09:09:01.440
neck focused on the back of your neck hm and

2864
09:09:01.680 --> 09:09:13.279
told it to relax, it relaxed and continued to relax.

2865
09:09:21.440 --> 09:09:30.559
When you told your upper back to relax, it relaxed

2866
09:09:31.199 --> 09:09:47.519
and continued to relax. That's with your shoulders. You told

2867
09:09:47.559 --> 09:09:55.839
your shoulders to relax, and your shoulders relaxed and continued

2868
09:09:59.599 --> 09:10:01.680
m to relax.

2869
09:10:07.360 --> 09:10:12.319
And it's not just that, It's.

2870
09:10:15.000 --> 09:10:19.400
That the rest of your body has also been listening,

2871
09:10:21.120 --> 09:10:24.040
and their relaxation has been spreading.

2872
09:10:26.199 --> 09:10:26.919
So from your.

2873
09:10:26.800 --> 09:10:34.440
Eyes, the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face,

2874
09:10:34.720 --> 09:10:48.239
into your skin, into your jaw, into the fronts and

2875
09:10:48.480 --> 09:10:53.760
sides of your neck, all way down your chest and stomach,

2876
09:11:00.440 --> 09:11:07.559
your relaxed hands and shoulders me up through your arms,

2877
09:11:08.279 --> 09:11:20.319
relaxing your forearms, your upper arms, elbows, your wrists, letting

2878
09:11:28.080 --> 09:11:37.879
the lower bag, your hips, buttons growing or just start

2879
09:11:38.080 --> 09:11:46.839
to relax and continue even comfort spreading through your legs

2880
09:11:52.000 --> 09:12:01.239
all the way down to your ankles, tops of your feet,

2881
09:12:02.360 --> 09:12:07.440
the sight of your feet, and the bottoms of your feet,

2882
09:12:11.239 --> 09:12:42.879
relaxing into your toes. Each tone relaxing becla is. And

2883
09:12:43.040 --> 09:13:00.639
as your body relaxes more, your mind becomes slower m hm, paceful,

2884
09:13:08.319 --> 09:13:16.239
to the point where if you choose to fall asleep,

2885
09:13:21.559 --> 09:13:38.720
he can easily do that easy drift the way because

2886
09:13:38.800 --> 09:13:46.360
there's nothing going on in your mind. Your brain is peaceful,

2887
09:13:54.720 --> 09:14:28.199
your body continues to relax, and with that connection between

2888
09:14:28.480 --> 09:14:34.319
your body relaxing, the word do you say to yourself

2889
09:14:36.800 --> 09:14:47.879
relax means that you don't need to focus on just

2890
09:14:48.199 --> 09:14:55.760
one part. You can just focus on your entire body,

2891
09:15:02.279 --> 09:15:24.440
saying the powerful word wlas and of sir, those familiar

2892
09:15:26.040 --> 09:15:41.199
sensations of comfort spreading throughout your body, who sing and

2893
09:15:41.519 --> 09:16:00.879
calming and heathing every part to your body heathing more relaxed,

2894
09:16:15.519 --> 09:16:19.279
so all you need to do that one is just.

2895
09:16:21.120 --> 09:16:22.199
Tell your something.

2896
09:16:25.720 --> 09:16:56.440
Relax, sir, eating completely out for the boy, come, sir, relaxed.

2897
09:16:59.760 --> 09:17:45.120
Its starting now with number twenty nineteen eighteen seventeen sixteen

2898
09:18:01.919 --> 09:22:29.480
fifty forty thirty. Well No.

2899
09:23:56.319 --> 09:27:46.040
Eight us ususui W.

2900
09:30:49.879 --> 09:31:21.440
One two counting down from ten to one ten nine eight, seven, six, five.

2901
09:31:23.519 --> 09:31:27.279
Four three.

2902
09:31:29.879 --> 09:31:41.919
Two one. And maybe that was a bit too quick

2903
09:31:42.519 --> 09:31:46.400
in order to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast

2904
09:31:46.680 --> 09:31:55.519
for you to notice the calming of your body, maybe

2905
09:31:56.360 --> 09:31:59.879
even a little bit of pressure there, Like you can

2906
09:32:00.160 --> 09:32:02.440
it down from ten to one. What do you expect

2907
09:32:02.519 --> 09:32:05.599
me to do? Man, expect me to stick go with

2908
09:32:05.800 --> 09:32:09.319
floppy just because you're counting down.

2909
09:32:13.440 --> 09:32:13.599
Too.

2910
09:32:14.639 --> 09:32:17.959
If you try it again, but this time, I'll go

2911
09:32:18.120 --> 09:32:25.480
this slower this time, as you focus on the whole

2912
09:32:25.599 --> 09:32:31.839
of your body before we focus on your legs. Just

2913
09:32:32.080 --> 09:32:42.040
notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed

2914
09:32:46.839 --> 09:33:21.639
with every number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six,

2915
09:33:30.080 --> 09:34:36.519
five four three two one. Wow. I just notice how

2916
09:34:38.879 --> 09:34:48.360
how you feel, generally, how your body feels. It's not

2917
09:34:48.519 --> 09:34:56.400
necessarily even about yeah, counting down from ten to one.

2918
09:34:59.360 --> 09:35:07.000
It's that's space that you have, that body space between

2919
09:35:12.519 --> 09:35:27.919
being active physically or mentally, just sitting or lying down,

2920
09:35:28.639 --> 09:35:33.400
just being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, or

2921
09:35:34.319 --> 09:35:40.519
needing to think about anything. So it opens up a space,

2922
09:35:41.519 --> 09:35:50.639
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And

2923
09:35:50.760 --> 09:35:55.319
the more I came down from the tental one, the

2924
09:35:55.400 --> 09:36:03.400
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

2925
09:36:04.839 --> 09:36:19.599
of comfort and relaxation. It's a nice feeling, yeah, And

2926
09:36:19.720 --> 09:36:29.319
it moves those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves

2927
09:36:29.639 --> 09:36:50.599
them away. Allows you to just slow down. Someone to

2928
09:36:50.800 --> 09:36:56.000
count again from ten down to one and notice that gap,

2929
09:36:57.120 --> 09:37:04.360
widening gap. And as it widens, it's almost like the

2930
09:37:06.080 --> 09:37:23.639
stress and attention falls into the gap. It gives you

2931
09:37:23.720 --> 09:38:19.239
that distance, that space. Now ten nine six, eight, seven, six, five,

2932
09:38:30.360 --> 09:39:42.519
four three two one. And how did your body feel now?

2933
09:39:55.239 --> 09:40:07.879
Can you notice that you feeling calmer? Are you feeling

2934
09:40:10.239 --> 09:40:37.639
more relaxed? As we now focus on your legs, just

2935
09:40:37.800 --> 09:40:59.199
your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs.

2936
09:41:14.000 --> 09:41:17.959
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be

2937
09:41:18.080 --> 09:41:25.279
doing because I'm sure like most of your body is

2938
09:41:25.400 --> 09:41:37.720
not not going on right now. Just focusing on the

2939
09:41:37.839 --> 09:41:43.919
whole of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the

2940
09:41:44.239 --> 09:41:50.839
sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your

2941
09:41:50.959 --> 09:41:56.279
outer thighs, and your inner thighs, basically the whole of

2942
09:41:56.319 --> 09:42:04.160
your thigh that leads into your hip and it goes

2943
09:42:05.199 --> 09:42:15.279
down to your knee joints. Now, this is a big area.

2944
09:42:19.760 --> 09:42:24.720
It's a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the

2945
09:42:24.839 --> 09:42:39.519
strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs. But

2946
09:42:39.559 --> 09:42:47.199
I don't think we perhaps will give enough attention to

2947
09:42:47.440 --> 09:43:01.120
our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs

2948
09:43:01.400 --> 09:43:21.160
are to our lives, how much they actually do for

2949
09:43:21.319 --> 09:43:35.040
us all through our lives. And it may seem to

2950
09:43:35.160 --> 09:43:40.319
sound really weird, but I think that all of our

2951
09:43:40.360 --> 09:43:51.239
body parts, especially our thighs, need some TLC, a bit

2952
09:43:51.279 --> 09:44:08.040
of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude

2953
09:44:11.000 --> 09:44:19.800
for what our thighs do for us. And I know

2954
09:44:20.000 --> 09:44:26.040
this may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why

2955
09:44:26.120 --> 09:44:29.279
am I? Surely I should be out in the garden

2956
09:44:29.480 --> 09:44:37.680
hugging a tree or something. Wow, it's hard to set

2957
09:44:37.720 --> 09:44:40.879
a microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing

2958
09:44:40.919 --> 09:44:43.599
this indoors otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree.

2959
09:44:44.760 --> 09:44:53.559
Now I can't see the television from the tree. If

2960
09:44:53.599 --> 09:44:58.959
you move down to your knees gain such an important part.

2961
09:45:03.279 --> 09:45:08.360
And I think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here,

2962
09:45:10.839 --> 09:45:15.919
I don't necessarily appreciate all that my needs do for

2963
09:45:16.080 --> 09:45:22.559
me until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,

2964
09:45:22.639 --> 09:45:27.599
if I ever maybe i'll pash it, or it's aching

2965
09:45:27.760 --> 09:45:34.120
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much

2966
09:45:34.279 --> 09:45:37.919
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to

2967
09:45:38.839 --> 09:45:48.080
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

2968
09:45:48.879 --> 09:45:57.599
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

2969
09:45:58.760 --> 09:46:05.199
You know that's comfort that But as you focus on

2970
09:46:05.279 --> 09:46:13.239
your knees, regardless of how your knees feel, you can

2971
09:46:13.319 --> 09:46:19.400
have that sense of gratitude and love to your knees

2972
09:46:19.519 --> 09:46:32.160
for all that they do for you. You can still

2973
09:46:32.279 --> 09:46:36.639
have that attention on your thighs. Maybe notice how your

2974
09:46:36.760 --> 09:46:41.720
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed.

2975
09:46:41.519 --> 09:46:43.239
That they are.

2976
09:46:45.000 --> 09:47:01.319
Relaxing more deeply as you focus now on the bottoms

2977
09:47:01.400 --> 09:47:02.000
of your legs,
