00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:09.279
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. Me name is

2
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:20.920
Jason Newland. This is Q Today, Friday, Curday, Friday. Please

3
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:33.399
only listen when you can safety close short's and I

4
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.600
just want I say thank you to Diana for your

5
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:49.719
client PayPal gift. Thank you very much. Yeah, I'm just

6
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:55.799
trying to think what's happened since yesterday?

7
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:00.840
No?

8
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:14.560
Nothing, Yeah, I'm trying to do nothing. I'm just trying

9
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:27.000
to think. No, I can't think of anything. I can't

10
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.480
think of anything that's happened ever today or later. Today

11
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.719
is the heavyweight Boxing Championship of the World. I'll be

12
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:49.879
watching that, Daniel Dubois against Alexander k Usick and I'll

13
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:56.840
be watching that. Also, there's another world title fight tonight,

14
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:08.919
which is uh bam bamgregious or what's going on here? Okay,

15
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:20.400
Cliff Richard, Okay, of just also one that I will

16
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.879
not be paying for. I'll watch it on YouTube. Is

17
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:33.520
Mani Pacquiao is fighting for a world title after about

18
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.319
seventy five years of not actually fighting anyone. That's going

19
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:51.560
to be weird. That's strange. Uh, but saying that that's

20
00:02:51.599 --> 00:03:02.120
a really really good bill, damn it? Or yeah, but

21
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.280
I can't. It's way it's in the middle of the night.

22
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:20.639
It's on Amazon Prime. That's confusing me. I'm sure all

23
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:30.560
networks the Zone Saturday ninety Jesse Rodriguez, oh, because they

24
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.960
still called him Bam Bam, but it's actually a So

25
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.599
this is on to Zone. Jesse Rodriguez, which is called

26
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:44.960
Bam Bam is defending his world title for two world

27
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:54.639
titles against Paul mel Cafu. So I can watch that.

28
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:01.240
It doesn't cost any extra I watch that. I want

29
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.879
to watch all of them. Ah, well, we will see.

30
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:15.400
I'm definitely watching Alexandra Ushik against Daniel Dynamite Dubois. Yes,

31
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.360
because that's on during the daytime. Well it's on this

32
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:26.519
evening UK time. The others start probably two o'clock in

33
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:31.399
the morning UK time, and I'm honest with you, I

34
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:38.519
think I might be asleep. Yes, all right, so let's

35
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.120
move away from that. Se qur Day Friday as well.

36
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:49.199
It's raided today, which I don't mind. I don't have

37
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.560
a lot of saying it, really do I it's not

38
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:59.879
really within my personal power. I maned to take the

39
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:06.560
out and we missed a little shower. It started to

40
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.839
rain and we got back in time to not get wet,

41
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.879
so it will be a little bit hit and miss.

42
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.519
I think today as far as taking them out, but

43
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.759
I've got the weekend off. I'm not going up to

44
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.560
the hospital unless there's an emergency, you know, of course,

45
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.120
but I won't be going up there to this weekend.

46
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.839
There's I won't have a little tidy up of my

47
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.879
flat because it's messy, and I just I'm charging up

48
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.000
the scrubber. I've got this mechanical scrubber thing that I

49
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.759
can use to clean the sinks and the toilet and

50
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.600
the bath and stuff like that. There's different headings on

51
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.720
for each one. So I'm gonna I'm charging it up

52
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.600
now and I'm going to have a little bit of

53
00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:01.160
a scrub later of the bathroom sink, the kitchen sink

54
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.000
and the kitchen counters. Try and have a little tied up,

55
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:19.000
you know, maybe do a little bit of vacuum cleaning. Minimal, minimal,

56
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.319
And I'd like to I don't know, I tell what

57
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.000
concerns me a little bit. I just don't want to

58
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:32.240
be Yeah, I want to make I just want to

59
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.800
make this place a little bit better, a little bit nicer.

60
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:45.360
And if I put a bit of effort in I could,

61
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.040
you know, I could make the door frames nice, I could,

62
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.720
you know, save up and put new doors on to

63
00:06:53.839 --> 00:07:01.199
the different rooms. Because the doors at the moment I

64
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.480
still got the same ones I had on ten years ago,

65
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.319
and they've been there probably ten years or twenty years

66
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:11.040
before that, and they were already all scratched the bits

67
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.240
because the previous person had I think she had two

68
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.079
massive dogs. So the whole you know, it's stuff. The

69
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:24.279
doors are just they're not the night. They're not the

70
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.920
most pleasant to look at. I don't spend a lot

71
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.160
of time looking at them to be airy. No, No,

72
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.600
I don't really. I don't just sit there in front

73
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.800
of the door and just look at it and I think,

74
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:44.839
oh no, it's not a hobby. But I still see them.

75
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.199
I sometimes think it'd be quite nice to just got

76
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.800
this whole flat, you know, just get rid of all

77
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:58.360
the stuff, not get rid of everything, but redecorate it.

78
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:10.360
Put a new decent carpet down, nice curtains, just little

79
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.519
things like that, a decent setty, because the one I

80
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:20.519
got now is falling apart. No, it's fairly comfortable. Perhaps

81
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.800
just get myself a lazy boy, something like that because

82
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.839
I had all an equivalent to that. I had a

83
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.639
cheap version of that when the very first moved in.

84
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.200
I think it cost me about one hundred and fifty

85
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.000
quid and I had it for quite a few years.

86
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.480
It was all right. Eventually it broke and fell apart.

87
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.039
Would you imagine anything that I sit on is going

88
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:49.840
to eventually fall apart? I don't know. I came moving

89
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:50.279
on from.

90
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.080
That, but.

91
00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.440
Yeah, yeah, I have a little look. Some of the

92
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.279
walls that still got looks like mold, but it's not.

93
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:10.000
It's just the backing felt from when I had soundproofing

94
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.159
up over there. Got took them off to put them

95
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.360
into my shed, which I had in my bedroom. Didn't know, Vinny,

96
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.320
you never got to see that the bedroom shed, did

97
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.879
you know? You didn't It was gone before you moved in.

98
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:30.679
Yes it was, Yes, it was. You never got to

99
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.960
see the bathroom shed, the bedroom shed, or the kitchen shed.

100
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.480
So that that's gonna I probably need some kind of

101
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:48.360
you know, one of those heat heat scrapers, torch scrapers things.

102
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.240
I probably need something like that. Yeah, I would, yes, Vinny,

103
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.320
Yes they would, yes, they would. Are you not going

104
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.480
to have your breakfast Finn, you cannot going to eat

105
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:13.840
your breakfast. No, no, why I woke up this morning,

106
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.519
I went a bit about ten, three minutes past ten.

107
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:21.200
It was woke up. I got up out of bed

108
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:27.720
just after six this morning, and then he was in

109
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.759
the living room. He was in here asleep on the city.

110
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:40.519
So I don't know why. I do know why. It's

111
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.679
because he wanted to come and sleep in here. But

112
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.639
I don't know why he wanted to come and sleep

113
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.879
in here because he only ever does things he wants

114
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:53.320
to do, doesn't do anything he doesn't like. Do you, Vinny,

115
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:57.919
don't pretend you can't hear me. Now. He is like,

116
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.000
pretty right up, you're listening to me. I know you are.

117
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:09.120
I know you are. Oh, so yeah this, I'm not

118
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:18.639
gonna be going anywhere. I did my Oh because it's Saturday.

119
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.120
This is Friday, Q and a Friday is Saturday. So

120
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.080
I didn't make a recording yesterday because I started to think,

121
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.559
wait a minute, I made a recording yesterday. So there's

122
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.480
no point in telling you what the latest is. But

123
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.440
I can tell you a little bit about the latest.

124
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:41.600
The main thing is I left here at nine o'clock

125
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:47.919
yesterday morning to go to the hopital. Got there in

126
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:55.360
good time. It's fine. Got their probably ten past ten,

127
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:08.320
that's fair enough. Left the hospital about ten past twelve

128
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:14.159
because Uncle Sausages had his dinner. So when he gets

129
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:19.200
his dinner, I leave so that he can be a piece.

130
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.879
But I see he's watching the golf.

131
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:21.360
He didn't.

132
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:26.559
I wasn't really needed to be fair. He's said that's

133
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.679
what he was focusing on, which is good because he

134
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.639
was looking forward to it. He's been looking forward to

135
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:36.320
it for over a month and it started on Thursday.

136
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.559
So he's watching that half half listening to me, half

137
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.879
watching the golf. And he did say something that made

138
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:49.000
me laugh though, because he's got I don't want to

139
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.799
use the word paranoid because he doesn't like that word,

140
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:59.159
but he's basically, without going too deeply into medical stuff,

141
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:07.759
his body is not filtering his blood, okay, so those

142
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.039
toxins are going into his brain and it's a very

143
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:17.799
standard thing in his situation. Happens to millions of people,

144
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:22.360
and it's causing a thing called h E which I

145
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.600
can't remember what it stands for, and it isn't home economics.

146
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.000
What don't know what it is. I know what it

147
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:33.320
is I've been studying. Oh, it's ridiculous. I know way

148
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.639
more about the liver than I ever wanted to in

149
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:40.120
my life. Before. All I knew is I didn't like liver.

150
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:45.919
Tastes it horrible. That's all I knew. I didn't realize

151
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:49.600
that it had a function. And then when you realize

152
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:55.919
what its function is, how could you eat it? When

153
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:05.840
you realize like this is actually that, it's not something that. Yeah, no,

154
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:15.200
but hey, he so he's not quite He's got a

155
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:23.360
few like I'm trying to be careful how I word this.

156
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.799
He yeah, he thinks he a couple about a week

157
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.200
ago fought to the hospital. No, no, it's the beginning

158
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.840
of this week. He thought the hospital would messing with

159
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.600
his food because he said the food tastes different. They're

160
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.480
adding stuff to the food. And then he's concerned about

161
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.200
the medication he's given getting given them why is he

162
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.200
taking it? And he started hiding the tablets. So I

163
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:55.399
sorted that side out. But I promised him on Thursday

164
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.559
night I would come into hospital, speak to the nurse,

165
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.759
get the nurse to come in, speak to him, explain

166
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:07.919
to him exactly what the medication was for what the

167
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.679
medication is that he's getting and what it's for and

168
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:16.200
whether he needs to take it or not in a

169
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.639
way for him to understand and feel safe. And the

170
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:27.039
other issue was he told me that one of the

171
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.679
cares or nurses, it's hard to know who's who now

172
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:36.559
because I think in hospitals it seems just from what

173
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:41.639
I've seen that the support workers or the care workers

174
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:48.000
are pretty much doing a nurse's job now, or like

175
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:53.639
the nurses kind of in charge of them is you know,

176
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.000
there's a lot of and it's hard to know who's

177
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.200
who now, which ones that are nurses, not that it

178
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:04.039
make any difference, but they're doing they're doing all the

179
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.240
I think. The only thing they don't. You don't see

180
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.919
a care worker generally with a telescope around the neck,

181
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:18.279
so they don't have that, but they they seem to

182
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.480
do everything else. I'm not sure whether or not they

183
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.519
take bloods or stuff. But but then when you've got

184
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:30.320
the canicular thing that's or you know, it's like permanently

185
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.519
in their arm, they can take blood. Anyone could take

186
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.039
blood from that couldn't because it's quite easy, I imagine,

187
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.919
but not the I've ever done it. He wouldn't let me.

188
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.279
I was like, please, uncle, just let me just take

189
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.399
a bit of blood. It's fun for me. He said,

190
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.039
it's not fun for me. Okay. I said, I'll let

191
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.120
you play with one of my Lego toys. He said,

192
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.639
what I said, I'll let you play with one of

193
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:00.679
my Lego toys. He said, no, I'd what you said.

194
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.400
But what do you mean Lego toys. Lego is a toy.

195
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.640
It's not a Lego toys. It's a Legos. You build

196
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.839
something with a Lego set, Yeah, but no one, no

197
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:16.000
one calls it a Lego toy. Well, obviously I do.

198
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.319
And then he went on a rent about Legos and

199
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.480
it's Lego isn't just for kids, so therefore it's not

200
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:29.599
a toy. It's for adults too, and everyone can be creative,

201
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.880
and you know, it's it's a it's a great way

202
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:38.480
to relax, to find some kind of mindfulness. In fact,

203
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:43.039
possibly Lego And then you start talking about jigsaw puzzles.

204
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:50.079
Lego and Jigsaw puzzles were around long before mindfulness meditation

205
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:54.079
became a thing in the West. And I said, well,

206
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:58.519
what's that got to do with your tablets and he

207
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:05.480
said nothing anyway, he said one of the nurses told

208
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.599
him that he had to clear up after himself, so

209
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:13.559
if there was any kind of situation, he had to

210
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:17.640
clear up. So I went and spoke to the nurse

211
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.759
and I explained to the nurse what he said to me,

212
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.799
and she said, you know who it was and said

213
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:26.400
that to him. I said, no, don't, So it was wrong.

214
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.839
They shouldn't have said that. But apparently they also do

215
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:36.359
try and encourage self sufficiency or if that's the right word.

216
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.279
But to be fair, I don't think that's really an

217
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:47.160
issue anymore. If I was going I'm just thinking if

218
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.039
I was in a situation where they're in hospital and

219
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:54.319
they have to learn to cope with a new type

220
00:18:54.319 --> 00:19:00.599
of lifestyle, then helping them to learn to do things themselves,

221
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.680
if they're going home, they're going to be on their

222
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.319
own and live the next twenty thirty years.

223
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:06.960
You know.

224
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.640
It's but he's not in that situation, and he's an

225
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.759
elderly man, and it's like, I just think people, all

226
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:21.680
people deserve respect, but in that situation even more. I

227
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:25.880
don't know why, but just there's something different about that

228
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:31.519
kind of situation. It's just like a short term I

229
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:33.119
don't know what I'm trying to say anyway, it's got

230
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:35.640
its own room, it's nice, it's better than some rooms

231
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:39.119
I've lived in. Seriously, I would have been happy living

232
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:45.720
in a room like that and not necessarily an environment,

233
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:51.039
but getting food, getting someone clean in the bathroom, and

234
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.759
I'd get a big TV in there. I don't know

235
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.640
if he's allowed to put his own TV in there,

236
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.319
but you know, if it was, if he was in

237
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.880
the room, then he could do it want it, couldn't it.

238
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:06.759
So he's on a short list to be getting a

239
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.359
getting into a care home. That seems to be the

240
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:16.480
next step because the hospice isn't probably going to happen

241
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.240
because of the waiting list. So he's going to try

242
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.559
and they're going to try and get him into a

243
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:26.000
care home at the first opportunity. So he's now been

244
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:29.720
moved to a room on his own, and I'm hoping

245
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.319
by the end of next week he'll be moved. So

246
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.160
really on it, which is good and he'll be happy.

247
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.839
And he seems a bit happier now being in that room.

248
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.920
He's not distracted by other people, is not. Yeah, he's

249
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:53.799
not quite as annoyed. However, yesterday he was in good

250
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.000
spirits and he's watched He's got the golf on while

251
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.200
he's talking to me. He's pretending to listen to what

252
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.559
I'm saying. I can see he's just keeps looking down

253
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:07.160
at the gulf on the laptop on the iPad and

254
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:15.599
he's watching it live on Sky Sports, and he is

255
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:18.960
the food comes out, so I don't rush off as

256
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:21.559
soon as if food gets there. I'm still talking to him.

257
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.799
And he had what did he have?

258
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:26.640
Oh?

259
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:32.680
He had a potato, a jacket potato, two little bits

260
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.640
of butter, you know the ones in the wrappers and

261
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:39.359
tin t you know, like I don't know, foil wrapper things.

262
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.920
And he had a little tub well actually it wasn't

263
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.680
top tiny, but a tub of tuna fish. And then

264
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.279
he also had a bowl of custard with some pudding

265
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:59.240
in it. So I said, do you need a hand

266
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.200
draw me to do anything? So he said yeah, And

267
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:08.279
I basically cut his potato opened for him, and I said,

268
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:09.559
be careful. Was hot.

269
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:12.480
And he.

270
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:19.000
And he said to stop treating me like a child.

271
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.039
And then he had a bite and was hot. Why

272
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.200
didn't you tell me? Now?

273
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:25.640
He did?

274
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:30.119
So I cut ead to potato open. I asked him

275
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.839
what he wanted next. He wanted the butter put on,

276
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.839
So I put one bit of batter on each bit.

277
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:40.359
Let that soak in a bit. And then I said, Georgia,

278
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.039
want done with a tuna fish. Now he could have

279
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.160
done all this himself, probably, but it felt quite nice

280
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:51.200
doing it for him, you know it just it seems

281
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:54.559
like a nice thing to do. But I don't know why.

282
00:22:54.839 --> 00:23:05.079
Just and plus he likes bossing me around. As I

283
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:11.079
put some tuna fish on top of the potato, and

284
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.359
I kind of I didn't mesh it, but I kind

285
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:16.880
of pushed it in a little bit, you know, to

286
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:22.079
make it a little bit whatever, just how I guess

287
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:27.880
how I would have done it myself. And he said

288
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:31.160
to me, my sure if I want to eat that.

289
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:36.440
I said, well, okay, well if you had, if you

290
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:39.559
you've had a jacket potato before, he said yeah, of course.

291
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:44.920
I said, if you've had tuna fish on a jackie

292
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:52.559
potato and he said he mumbled something, and he said,

293
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:57.200
why don't you, Why don't you try it? I said, no,

294
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:01.359
I'm not hungry, because it was like I'd had my

295
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.240
I'd had a little snack. I had a cross on.

296
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.640
Actually I got a cross on from costumes. Didn't get

297
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:17.519
a coffee because it was so hot yesterday, really sticky and.

298
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:20.519
Not.

299
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:26.400
I didn't find a particularly pleasant heat wise. It wasn't Yeah,

300
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:32.680
it was. I mean, remember when the sun was on me,

301
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:36.799
it was too hot. It was kind of a little

302
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:44.000
bit uncomfortable from my head. So I said, no, you're

303
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.680
fine enough. I'm all right. I've already had to cross

304
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:51.400
on half an hour ago. I'm not hungry. And I said,

305
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.640
okay then, and he like seemed to be hesitant, but

306
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:58.079
then he took a bit and he said, I've got

307
00:24:58.079 --> 00:24:59.680
to be careful because the last thing I had was

308
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.839
too hot. And I said, well, why don't you touch

309
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.319
it with your tongue gently like you you know, and

310
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.440
just make sure that it's it's not too hot before

311
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:13.640
you put in your mouth. And he said okay, and

312
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:17.920
he put a big bit on his fork. He just

313
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:19.559
just put it right in his mouth. He didn't test

314
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:21.960
it or nothing. So that is going to burn you

315
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:30.720
if you do that, Bernie, Bernie. And but I can't

316
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:32.680
tell someone else how to eat their food. I mean,

317
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.119
he's been doing it a lot longer than me, and

318
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:42.039
he but yeah, I'd be a bit careful. Session with potatoes,

319
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.920
they really can't hold the heat. So but it seemed

320
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:50.920
fine and he said, yeah, it's all right. And he

321
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:55.440
pointed at the dessert and I said yeah. He said,

322
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.400
I said, what what is it? It's custod, isn't it.

323
00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:01.240
What's in it? He said, do you want to try that?

324
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:05.599
I said, well, I said, you want to try try

325
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:10.599
some of the dessert? I said no, I really don't

326
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.839
like custard. It's not I don't like custard. I cannot

327
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:19.240
eat custard. It is beyond no. That's a no no,

328
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:26.720
like a complete no no, like no it that would

329
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.200
be it's going to be that. Yeah. It would be

330
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.000
like eating something if you think something that you really

331
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.200
don't would never eat. That's the same for me. It's

332
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:49.599
the same as yeah no, see yeah. See if you

333
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:52.440
if you put a bowler custard, chucked it in a

334
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:55.519
bin and anyone put all that rubbish on top of it,

335
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:58.799
and you pulled the custard bowl out and said, and

336
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:02.240
it's got all full of and rubbish, would you eat that?

337
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:04.599
It would be the same response as if there was

338
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.480
as if it was straight out of the oven or

339
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.400
wherever custard comes from. Whether it's born. I don't know.

340
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:15.960
I just don't. I can't. It's one of those things.

341
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:20.079
We've all got our little things and we some people

342
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:25.079
don't like crocodiles. I don't like custard. Don't judge me, baby,

343
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:31.119
so and I said, no, I don't like custard. I

344
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:33.640
didn't go into a big thing. I didn't talk about

345
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.599
crocodiles or list of things that some people might like

346
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:40.599
that you know that I'm okay with that people don't like,

347
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:45.480
and all that stuff. Didn't mention my my, you know, generally.

348
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:56.319
And he looked at me. He stays smiled, and I'm like, okay,

349
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.279
you seem in good spirits. I'm not going to not

350
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:02.559
going to rocked the boat on that one. He seemed

351
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.880
much in a better frame of mind than he had

352
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:09.640
done all week, all month really, but all week definitely.

353
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:16.039
And he said, yeah, he started talking about Henry the Eighth.

354
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:21.640
I said, okay, I'm not quite sure why he's talking

355
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:27.720
about Henry the eighth. It seemed a bit random, you know,

356
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:30.079
how did he manage to start? He just started talking

357
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:32.759
about Henry the eighth. And he started talking and I

358
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:34.759
wasn't really with him where he was going with this,

359
00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:38.079
and he started talking about how Henry the eighth had

360
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:47.400
a food taster, and then I remembered my history the

361
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.359
all Kings. Generally, I think back in the old days,

362
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.920
he used to have food tasters to make sure that

363
00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:01.000
the food was safe, that they weren't being poisoned. He

364
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:06.160
was using me as a food taster. He was making

365
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:10.240
sure that the food wasn't poisoned. And when I realized

366
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:16.319
what he was talking about, I couldn't stop laughing. It

367
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:19.279
was proper belly laughing. And he was laughing as well

368
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:27.400
because he found it funny. But I just couldn't believe

369
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.599
that he meant it as well. He really wanted me

370
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:31.759
to test his food.

371
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:33.799
And fought.

372
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:39.680
I just found it hilarious that I said, okay, so

373
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:40.240
what about me?

374
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:40.440
Then?

375
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:44.160
So if the food was poisoned, what about me? Then

376
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:49.359
he started laughing even more, like okay, thanks, So that

377
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:55.680
was kind of a funny funny thing. Another one he said,

378
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.599
this is a couple of nights back because been having

379
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:09.400
possible hallucinations, maybe weird dreams or something. But anyway, this

380
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:13.759
previous to that, and this night he said, well in

381
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:18.119
the morning, he said, oh, last night I went into

382
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:24.680
I was orbited into space, and I said, I think

383
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.720
I perhaps he dreamt that he was in space, or

384
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:31.680
he hallucinated that he was in space, you know, seeing

385
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:35.480
the stars, the moon, galaxy, Milky Way or whatever and

386
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:39.359
all that stuff. And I'm thinking I'm talking to him

387
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:45.559
like okay, just going along with it. So I thinking

388
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:49.319
he's talking about how he imagined he was actually in

389
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:53.000
space and either hallucinated it or maybe he dreamt it,

390
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:57.000
and it was so really believed it was true. That's

391
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:01.559
not what he was talking about at all. What he's

392
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:04.839
really trying to tell me is he was woken up

393
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:09.160
by the biggest part of his life. His bum woke

394
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:13.319
him up, and he said it shot him. He banked

395
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:20.240
his head on the ceiling. It was that powerful. It's like, ah,

396
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:26.400
it's hard to keep crack. But yeah. So that's Uncle

397
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.759
Sausages yesterday. I'm going back on Monday. I've got the

398
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:38.680
weekend off. I need the weekend off. Is this is

399
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:41.400
my time. I'm not going to be around any humans

400
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:47.119
at all, if at all possible, Me and Vinnie, nothing else,

401
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:57.759
no one else. Pure bliss are lovely, no dramas, no conversations,

402
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:01.200
And to be fair, I'm usual to want to over talks.

403
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:07.200
I'm an oversharer, and if someone is sitting there quietly,

404
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.880
and then they're in a room with me, they're quiet,

405
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:13.799
I would just keep talking. And that's why I'd be

406
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.400
I'd be terrible in an interrogation room. If I was

407
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:19.799
being interrogated, what they'd have to do is just sit

408
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.200
down and just look at me, and they get my

409
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:28.839
entire life story, you know. So I was hoping the

410
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:38.920
rain would stop the the neighbors from being particularly loud,

411
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.680
but they seem to have still doing that, so you

412
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:46.640
might be able to hear that in the background. There's

413
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:50.200
there's really nothing I can do about it. It's one

414
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:52.599
of those things I can The only thing I could

415
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:58.079
do is not make a recording, right if you know,

416
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:02.799
And I don't want to do that because this is

417
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:10.680
what I'm supposed to be doing, isn't it. Yeah. I

418
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.279
left about ten past twelve yesterday, got on a bus,

419
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:24.759
waited for a while for a bus and got two wheels.

420
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:28.880
You know, it's a two bus journey, got there, got

421
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:30.720
to the bus stop I was going to get off.

422
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:33.960
I had a choice of three different buses going past

423
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:38.880
so for years, so that's why I went there. I

424
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.720
was there for about an hour waiting before a bus

425
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:46.079
actually turned up loads of other buses that weren't going

426
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:51.279
where I was going. In fact, the bus that I

427
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:56.200
got that same number bus came and passed me about

428
00:33:56.240 --> 00:34:03.440
four times during that period, and I couldn't even see

429
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:09.000
the bus numbers very clearly from a distance, so a

430
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:11.079
couple of times I might put my hand out to

431
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.880
stop the bus and then when it got closer realized

432
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:21.119
no thanks, and I like I waved it off. Another

433
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.280
time I stopped the bus asked because I didn't know

434
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.280
the number, I didn't know what it was. I said,

435
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:27.880
do you go to go to my home? And they

436
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:34.599
said no. Then eventually a bus did come because I'm here,

437
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:48.039
But I got home called for twenty three. Yes, it

438
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:50.840
took two and a half, about two and a half

439
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:51.800
hours to get home.

440
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:58.320
I was. It was.

441
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:08.760
Tiring, itch war Oh that's nice.

442
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:07.840
So.

443
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:18.360
Yeah, I was. I came home, I had a SunNet

444
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:22.920
to eat, I had an old chat with one of

445
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:31.800
my neighbors. Then I went and had a nap and

446
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:34.440
I did feel better after than a nap I did.

447
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:44.039
Then I watched a what did I watch? But he

448
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:49.599
watched a bit of TV, watched part of a movie,

449
00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:54.519
and I watched the end this morning, and then I

450
00:35:54.559 --> 00:36:02.159
went to bed just after ten. Yeah, listen to the radio.

451
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:09.000
I fell asleep, woke up at one, did a we wei,

452
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:14.400
turned the radio off, and then woke up again at six.

453
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:19.039
Well might I woke up at three and then six,

454
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:30.559
and then that was it. So you're now up to

455
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:36.599
date on my entire life. You see now what I

456
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:40.079
call it? Let me boardy to sleep because there's nothing

457
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:44.320
interesting or exciting about anything that happens to me. It's

458
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:52.079
all boring. So let's go through the questions. I got one, two, three, four, five.

459
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:59.280
Hope asks me favorite candy? Do you have any? What

460
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:00.840
are they?

461
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:01.639
Well?

462
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:05.119
Thanks, Hope. We don't call it candy in this country.

463
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.119
I know what you mean when you say candy. So

464
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:16.880
you mean chocolate, don't you? Chocolate and sweets? So yeah,

465
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:22.760
we don't call it that. I just thinking, so, so

466
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:26.679
chocolate is candy, but are sweets because you are sweets

467
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:34.199
like you know, boiled sweets, humbugs for example, or bomb bombs,

468
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.760
jelly babies, things like that. What would that would that

469
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:47.440
come under candy as well? So I'm gonna I'm gonna

470
00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:50.840
assume if I think of chocolate bars. Okay, so we

471
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:54.840
just call them sweets. Really, it's what we call them

472
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:59.440
because because they're sweet. Yeah, it kind of comes under

473
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:05.320
the umbrella of sweets in this country. But I'm not

474
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.320
going to be pedantics. I know, I know what you mean.

475
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:14.360
The only candy I've ever had, so I have been

476
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:18.239
sent stuff from America in the past, and it was

477
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:24.519
those a couple of things, what those little I think

478
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:29.079
it was girshy was it a girshy bar? And those

479
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:35.440
little twiggler dinkle wrinkle things that are just very sweet

480
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:47.000
but yummy. I think the sweets, chocolate and stuff like

481
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:55.599
that in America is possibly way better than in this country.

482
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:58.239
I mean, I don't know, I've never been to America.

483
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:03.800
I hope to God, I don't know how. I got

484
00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:05.400
no idea if I'll ever be able to do it.

485
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:10.360
But if I ever go on tour, if I was

486
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:13.519
to go on taur, I need to have enough money

487
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:19.880
coming in to cover the cost of the travel, to

488
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:28.480
cover the cost of the accommodation and you know, the expenses.

489
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:34.679
So if you could organize a nice tour for me,

490
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:38.719
anyone who would want to see me but can you

491
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:41.960
imagine me putting out, Oh, I got a tour, and

492
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:45.199
I imagine if I posted it on Facebook, I'll probably

493
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:51.880
get maybe four likes. It's like, yeah, okay, that's really

494
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.239
I don't think people would really want to do a

495
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.559
meet in greet because in a way, I do a

496
00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:59.880
meet in greet every time I do a recording, don't

497
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:03.280
I don't think I really need to be in the

498
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:09.480
same room. But I think it might be distracting seeing

499
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:11.840
me in person, especially if you don't know what I

500
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:16.119
look like. If all you've got is the voice and

501
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:19.719
you imagine that I'm like blonde and six foot nine

502
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:28.119
and hairy like a gorilla, I don't know. Well, however

503
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:35.159
you imagined I am, it's probably not going to be

504
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:40.760
how I am because no voice I say none. But generally,

505
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:51.480
in my experience, voices rarely match a person physically if

506
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:55.800
you hear the voice first. I think if I meet someone,

507
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:59.360
sometimes a voice matches them perfectly, like, yeah, you've got

508
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:05.280
that voice is perfect for you. But then if you

509
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:09.800
think about someone like Earl what is his name, dar

510
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:16.199
vader Man, the voice of Darth Vader, you could like

511
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:25.000
that voice matched him. But then once it's like all

512
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:29.800
we know, isn't it Earl Jones, Earl Gray Jones or

513
00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:35.480
something his or Morgan Freeman. The voice matches his face.

514
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:46.000
But then pee Wee Herman's voice would match Morgan Freeman's

515
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:53.639
face if if that was his normal voice, if that's

516
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:58.559
all we knew, so you know, in the Shore Shore

517
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:04.599
Dank Prediction or whatever it was, Morgan Freeman they said,

518
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:07.519
we've got to an hour, We've got to get hour.

519
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:14.239
I don't know, however pe Wee Herman talks. I did

520
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:16.760
like the way he talks, maybe if it made me laugh,

521
00:42:18.280 --> 00:42:23.199
and and it'd be almost like, okay, that that makes

522
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:28.719
sense because you're used to it. But if you didn't know,

523
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:36.199
and you heard Morgan Freeman's voice, which is pe Wee

524
00:42:36.199 --> 00:42:40.360
Herman's voice, and you heard that on the radio or

525
00:42:41.719 --> 00:42:44.119
you know, audio wise, and you didn't know what you

526
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.000
look like, and then you saw Morgan Freeman, you might

527
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:53.280
think that doesn't look like his voice. Well that doesn't

528
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:55.079
sound like it. Well it doesn't. That's not what I

529
00:42:55.079 --> 00:43:00.199
would have mentioned he would look like I suppose, but

530
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:04.440
I imagine I think in Morgan Freeman, if he had

531
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:08.199
his voice, not knowing what it looks like and I

532
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:13.119
almost feel like you wouldn't be surprised because but then

533
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:15.079
that's just because we know, we know him. It's been

534
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:20.519
around for so long. Yeah, it's a weird one in it.

535
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:26.840
But yeah, anyway, my voice does not match me. I've

536
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:29.199
actually got a friend who likes listening to my voice,

537
00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:34.800
which is weird. She listens to my recordings. This is

538
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:39.280
something that I've known for wow, over twenty years, and

539
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:45.320
she listened to my recordings when she's at home. And

540
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:54.679
why why I like your voice? Yeah, but come on

541
00:43:56.119 --> 00:44:00.199
stop it. Favor candy. So I want to say, I'm

542
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:04.440
going to go for favorite chocolate bars, bearing in mind

543
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:11.280
I'm not supposed to eat chocolate anymore. I'm going to go.

544
00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:19.719
I'm going to go. Yeah, my go to is it's

545
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:23.119
quite weird too, And they're kind of similar in a way,

546
00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:28.880
crunchy bars and more teasers. And we've both got honeycomb

547
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:36.000
and chocolate. It's a different flavor, different taste, but it's still,

548
00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:42.000
you know, honeycomby. I used to love eating honeycomb, just

549
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:48.920
honeycomb when I was seventeen eight about eighteen, and I'd

550
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:52.760
take a bar be wrapped up in plastic I'd take

551
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:56.360
a bar just to work with me, and I'd have

552
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:58.840
it in my preak time and literally it would be

553
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.960
stuck to my teeth. My mouth would be stuck shut

554
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:12.159
for about three hours. Literally it was Oh, it was fun.

555
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.880
Just love the taste. And sometimes I would lick it

556
00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:21.559
and make it into do you know people do their

557
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:25.840
what do they call it widling, tiddling widdling where they

558
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:27.639
have a little knife and a bit of wood and

559
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:31.400
they turn it into something. I did that with the honeycomb,

560
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:35.480
but instead of a knife, I used my tongue and

561
00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:39.400
I would shape it and turn it into I don't know,

562
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:47.679
just a distorted honeycomb bar. Really, I didn't really didn't

563
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:57.679
resemble anything. I enjoyed it. It was my temporary hobby.

564
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:02.880
I used to see. I don't eat sweets much anymore

565
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.199
due to the fact that I'm not really supposed to

566
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:11.880
because of my sugar levels, blood sugar levels and my

567
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:14.559
weight again was sort of losing some weight, so I

568
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:19.119
stopped having sugar in my tea, and I don't I

569
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:22.000
don't eat. There was a time when I'd have like

570
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:27.239
two chocolate bars a day, and I'd drinking at least

571
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.519
four cans of coca day. I don't do any of

572
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.519
that anymore. I don't. I don't drink coke anymore. If

573
00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:37.119
I have a fizzy drink, which has been a bit

574
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:40.679
more regular lately because I've been going up to hospital

575
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:45.880
and it's been hot and water is okay. But I

576
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:50.639
was getting cans or bottles of drink for Uncle's sausages,

577
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:56.679
so I ended up getting myself a fenter. I quite

578
00:46:56.760 --> 00:47:04.960
my fenta, but I don't drink coke, and so I

579
00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:07.840
don't drink faner it all the time. I did every

580
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:11.719
day for a couple of weeks probably, but now I

581
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:16.280
realizing that actually water is just better when it's hot.

582
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:31.480
But myself personally bon bombs, so they're kind of they're

583
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:40.880
like icing, icing sugar on top of toffee the balls,

584
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:45.360
and sometimes they're flavored. So I quite like the plain ones.

585
00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:50.880
Strawberry ones. Yeah, that's kind of the ones I liked.

586
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:58.480
Haven't had them for years. All other things. I used

587
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:05.119
to love it curly whirly, but again, and also because

588
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:08.519
I I'm trying to kind of be a bit more

589
00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:13.880
careful with my teeth as well, so I don't try

590
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:15.840
to keep down a little bit when it comes to

591
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:20.039
eating chocolate, and with chocolate, with chocolate bar, you can

592
00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:22.599
eat it and just you know it's gone. But if

593
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:26.800
you eat something that's chewy, then that sugar's kind of

594
00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:30.239
staying around the teeth and stuff. I don't know if

595
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:34.679
that makes sense. I mean, last time I had a

596
00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:37.719
curly earlier, I put it in the freezer, got it out.

597
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:40.360
We're all looking forward to it all.

598
00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:41.199
I was.

599
00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:49.159
A bit into it, and it's well, it got stuck

600
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:53.280
in my in my teeth and when I removed it,

601
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:58.960
it also removed by filling. So that was not a

602
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:03.760
good idea. And I think I did it another time

603
00:49:03.960 --> 00:49:06.760
and it broke my tooth in half because I didn't

604
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:10.039
learn the first time. That wasn't the second bite. This

605
00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:14.480
was like a few months later. Okay, I thought by

606
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:17.679
then and you say, well, just have the curly Worthy

607
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:26.320
without freezing it. The problem is curly Worthies are They're

608
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:31.679
very meltable, and I'm not really into melted chocolate unless

609
00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:38.480
it's on ice cream, so melted Curly Worthies weren't really

610
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:44.199
my favorite thing. I suppose I could have put it

611
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:50.000
in the fridge because it's still it wouldn't be like

612
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:55.480
a rock hard the way it was when it was

613
00:49:55.519 --> 00:50:02.559
in the freezer, but it wouldn't be warm, soggy and dripping.

614
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:10.800
H that doesn't sound very pleasant, does it. I'm trying

615
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:15.719
to think I could list all I don't have a Yeah,

616
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:20.480
I'd say probably. My favorite chocolate bar is a crunchy,

617
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:29.039
my chocolate bar, as in, yeah, be a crunchy. I

618
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:35.400
do like bars of chocolate, just chocolate as well, so Galaxy,

619
00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:41.079
I like that, Capri's bar of chocolate. I like that.

620
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:48.159
Fruit and ut I like that. And one of my

621
00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:51.159
favorite chocolate bars from the past, and I haven't eaten

622
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:57.079
it for quite a long time, maybe years, is a toblern.

623
00:50:58.639 --> 00:51:03.480
I used to love togrown and they do. It's a taste.

624
00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:08.760
He's got nugget in it or nougar. I call him nugget,

625
00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:12.760
and it's very tasty.

626
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:16.079
Oh.

627
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:23.519
I used to eat them fairly regularly. One of the

628
00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:26.599
reasons I don't eat as much chocolate as they used

629
00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:30.599
to is because I no longer go to the petrol station.

630
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:37.159
I used to go every day. There was more a

631
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:41.360
Luke thing. I'd go over there with him, so we'd

632
00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:45.360
take the say the boys for a walk, you know,

633
00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:52.519
and just I'd go and get something. I was able

634
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:55.239
to take Vinnie in there, so we'd go in there,

635
00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:59.159
I'd get something, he'd get something, or i'd get something

636
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:03.760
for him, and it'd stay outside with Logi. And quite

637
00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:07.599
often they had these special offers two for one pound

638
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:11.760
fifty chocolate bars, so i'd get one for him and

639
00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:19.039
one for me, and you know, that'd be like a

640
00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:28.320
daily thing. And I kind of because someone those. Oh

641
00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:32.000
and oh yeah. Another I like is I do love

642
00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:41.239
a chocolate flake, or the galaxy version, which is I

643
00:52:41.239 --> 00:52:43.360
can't even know what it's called. I've eaten one. I've

644
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:46.239
been eating them for forty years. I still don't remember

645
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:51.360
what they're called. They're nice. They're crumbly as well, but

646
00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:55.360
not as crumbly as a flake. So I like capprige flake.

647
00:52:56.800 --> 00:53:04.079
The weird thing about it is I like but on

648
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:08.079
an ice cream. I love them like an ice cream

649
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:17.639
with a flake makes it so much more appealing. And

650
00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:22.199
that flake is it's all about the flake. Yeah, a

651
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:27.480
flake on its own. If it's cold, I don't like

652
00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:35.639
warm flakes. It was cold, it's nice, it's really Oh

653
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.039
it's out of fridge, not a freezer out of fridge,

654
00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:42.639
although I suppose I could put in a freezer. I

655
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:43.119
want one.

656
00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:43.400
Now.

657
00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:48.239
I have no chocolate. There's no chocolate in here. I've

658
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:53.760
got no biscuits, no chocolate, no treats. Even he hasn't

659
00:53:53.800 --> 00:53:59.199
got any treats. All his treats are gone now, damn it.

660
00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:06.280
I really if I had biscuits, I'd be eating them, honestly,

661
00:54:06.719 --> 00:54:09.559
just the odd biscuits. I mean, what I like to

662
00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:18.559
get is these stem ginger biscuits, and they're it's from

663
00:54:18.679 --> 00:54:23.920
Saint's Breeze, but what do they call it as good

664
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:26.760
as as good as it gets, or that they it's

665
00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:33.360
like a it's their home brand, but it's at a

666
00:54:33.440 --> 00:54:37.119
higher level that makes it sense, that makes sense to you.

667
00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:43.199
And they're they're a little bit more expensive, but they're

668
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:47.880
so nice and the big old things and the ginger

669
00:54:48.079 --> 00:54:51.920
stem and I have them with a cup of tea

670
00:54:54.400 --> 00:55:02.360
and it's just all all yeah. But if I bought

671
00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:05.800
something the other day, that'll be gone if I honestly,

672
00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:10.199
within a day or two days of buying, and they're gone.

673
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:16.199
So I didn't get any this week. I managed to

674
00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:21.440
just spend just the amount that I was able to spend,

675
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:35.639
just some milk and some breakfast cereal, and not a

676
00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:39.239
lot else, to be fair, not much more a few

677
00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:47.440
little bits of bread color frozen bits. Yeah, I'm just

678
00:55:47.480 --> 00:55:55.719
trying to think. I used to love tries, cream, chocolate cream,

679
00:55:55.960 --> 00:56:02.519
what would they called, Oh yeah, chocolate and don't get

680
00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:06.639
them till the beginning of the year. But the chocolate eggs,

681
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:14.960
Capri's cream egg I've been eating them forever. But again,

682
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:19.079
it's only really what I get from the supermarket now

683
00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:22.960
online because I don't go to the petrol station anymore.

684
00:56:25.679 --> 00:56:29.800
So it's not like a daily thing anymore, which is good.

685
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:36.639
It's a good thing, but you know, I had to Yeah,

686
00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:41.039
I was told at the beginning of the year last

687
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:45.280
year I needed to lose weight because my blood sugar level.

688
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:56.639
So I did lost over a stone. Favorite candy Do

689
00:56:56.679 --> 00:57:01.199
you have any No, So that's my next answer. No, hope,

690
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:06.599
I have a neur candy. I have no chocolate. All

691
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:13.880
Smarties is why I love Smarties. Oh yeah, I love

692
00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:19.800
Smarties to what I do like, but I also don't like.

693
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:25.960
I love the taste of bounty a bounty bar. I

694
00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:30.320
love the smell, I love the taste, but I struggle

695
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:35.599
to be able to swallow coconut. It has a I

696
00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:40.519
just can't. I can, but it's almost like the coconut

697
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:45.599
gets in my mouth and it sucks all of the

698
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:49.800
liquid out of my body into the coconut, and that's

699
00:57:49.840 --> 00:57:53.639
what I'm sure that's not happening. But I have to

700
00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:56.840
have a drink in order to eat the coconut. But

701
00:57:56.920 --> 00:58:03.320
it tastes so good. So I don't eat the bounty

702
00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:09.920
bar because it's it. Although it tastes amazing, smells lovely

703
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:18.400
that duh. Yeah, it's too much chewing involved, and I

704
00:58:18.480 --> 00:58:21.199
just can't. It just doesn't seem to go down. So

705
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:25.920
what's so well as easy? I just remembered when I

706
00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:30.079
was a kid, I wasn't allowed to have alcohol. We

707
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:34.000
used to have wine at the dinner table, and at Christmas,

708
00:58:34.079 --> 00:58:36.559
maybe i'd have a bit more wine than I normally

709
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:39.519
would have, but we didn't have you know, I wasn't

710
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:44.440
drinking whisky or anything like that. But at Christmas we

711
00:58:44.559 --> 00:58:51.159
used to have these liqueurs, these chocolate liqueurs, and I

712
00:58:51.199 --> 00:58:56.519
would eat as many as I was able to, and

713
00:58:56.559 --> 00:59:00.599
I probably was a little bit tipsy on them. He

714
00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:11.960
looked good. It's very good. Oh yes, who ha tum true.

715
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:14.599
Trying to think what other chocolate bars.

716
00:59:14.719 --> 00:59:15.199
I like.

717
00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:26.039
Just visualizing all chocolate clays, love myself some chocolate clays.

718
00:59:26.800 --> 00:59:36.360
So these are basically individual sweets. They're wrapped up and

719
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:43.599
it's basically yeah, they're toffee on the outside and chocolate

720
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:52.159
on the inside. But so nice, oh so nice. I

721
00:59:52.199 --> 00:59:57.519
can I can get through a pack really quickly because

722
00:59:57.519 --> 01:00:01.000
I went after another just or and you can mix

723
01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:04.559
in a bit of mint as well, which changes the taste.

724
01:00:04.719 --> 01:00:10.480
It's just all really nice. Just trying to think what

725
01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:18.440
other I used to In two thousand and nine, I

726
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:26.280
went through a period when I was eating Worver's Original sweets,

727
01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:35.639
and they're like boiled sweets, but toffee tastes so good,

728
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:41.760
so good. And then they brought out toffee toffee Worver's

729
01:00:41.800 --> 01:00:45.280
Original toffee, which you could just chew like you know,

730
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:53.719
like toffee toffee. So good, so nice. But that was

731
01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:58.159
like a short a short term thing. I stopped eating

732
01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:00.519
them after a while, but I used to eat them

733
01:01:00.599 --> 01:01:06.320
regularly for a few months. I don't know why I stopped, really.

734
01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:10.719
I remember one thing I used to do when I

735
01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:15.079
was a paper boy. I had this little period of

736
01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:20.119
time when I'd go and collect my papers in the afternoon,

737
01:01:20.239 --> 01:01:29.280
after school and I would have some do I have

738
01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:39.920
toffees and soft bins, and I'd mix them together, so

739
01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:46.320
beat toffee, mint, oh, and maybe a bit of chocolate.

740
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:47.719
Oh.

741
01:01:47.960 --> 01:01:53.800
I just mixed it altogether like a I don't know,

742
01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:56.599
like a washing machine or something, or a tumble dryer,

743
01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:01.400
just or a mixer, I suppose mixing it like a blender.

744
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:04.199
And it was like it was like a I was

745
01:02:04.280 --> 01:02:08.920
like a little walking experiment. It was lovely, but then

746
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:12.599
I'd always feel a bit by the time I got

747
01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:16.000
home because I just stuffed all this stuff down and

748
01:02:17.400 --> 01:02:21.199
it was a little bit too much, a little bit

749
01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:28.360
too much sugar. Even then, I'm trying to think of

750
01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:33.360
any other chocolate bars that I really I do like Aeriel,

751
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:48.800
the mint one I do, I quite like. I do

752
01:02:48.920 --> 01:02:56.800
quite like mint. Mint flavored stuff. What are they called mint? Oh,

753
01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:04.840
they're like boiled sweets. They have mints, mevvyes, bevies, heaves, webbies,

754
01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:15.119
what they called mints, Webbes, Levies, Tevies, Murray's mint, Murray's.

755
01:03:15.800 --> 01:03:16.960
Oh.

756
01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:18.559
I don't know if they still make them, but I

757
01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:28.760
used to like them very nice now just thinking about

758
01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:33.320
stuff that I used to enjoy, because when I was young.

759
01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:35.719
I mean, there is a shop in town that does

760
01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:41.159
this still. But when I was young, all the well,

761
01:03:42.400 --> 01:03:48.440
not wanna say all, but my local one anyway, newsagents

762
01:03:49.719 --> 01:03:52.239
or I used to call it sweet shop, and it

763
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:54.719
was on the corner. In fact, it wasn't a news agent,

764
01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:57.920
so it was just a sweet shop. Yeah, it was

765
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:07.599
on the corner. Oh my goodness, Wow, how weird is this?

766
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:11.679
I just remembered something that i'd forgotten.

767
01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:14.039
For like.

768
01:04:16.719 --> 01:04:26.400
Forty years. You believe that, say, he's a memory, I've

769
01:04:26.440 --> 01:04:29.199
not forgotten. This isn't a memory that I've forgotten, but

770
01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:33.199
I've forgotten the complete memory. And now I realized where

771
01:04:33.239 --> 01:04:40.840
it was. So it was early eighties, maybe late nineties,

772
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:49.000
but probably eighty maybe eighty one. Charlie's Angels was on TV,

773
01:04:50.239 --> 01:04:59.599
so it's possibly Tuesday or Thursday evening. I went to

774
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:03.119
the sweet shop, which was just around the corner. It

775
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:06.559
wasn't far to go to from where I lived up

776
01:05:06.599 --> 01:05:09.239
the road, so basically, come out of the house.

777
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:13.000
And just.

778
01:05:14.639 --> 01:05:22.159
Turn left, then turn right, turn left, turn right or

779
01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:35.599
turn left, go up and turn right. But anyway, it

780
01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:39.880
wasn't far. But I just remembered because it's this shop.

781
01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:43.840
It was basically he had a ladder that used to

782
01:05:43.880 --> 01:05:48.320
get up to get all these tubs of sweets, boiled sweets,

783
01:05:48.360 --> 01:05:54.400
bomb bombs, chocolate saucers, sparkly things, all these kinds of

784
01:05:55.639 --> 01:06:01.400
yeah sweets. And it'd be all these big play stick containers,

785
01:06:01.719 --> 01:06:04.719
all high up and low down, and the big chocolate

786
01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:08.119
bars on the counter, and he'd say, what you want

787
01:06:08.159 --> 01:06:10.039
and he turn around and he go and get it,

788
01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:17.960
and only until this right this, not this second, but

789
01:06:18.280 --> 01:06:21.360
you know, a couple of minutes ago when I mentioned it,

790
01:06:23.599 --> 01:06:26.719
I have the memory of going there, and I have

791
01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:31.599
the memory of getting some sweets before Charlie's Angels was

792
01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:36.519
on TV, because back then Charlie's Angels was big, big show.

793
01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:43.960
And walking to that shop getting some sweets, coming home

794
01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:49.320
to eat the sweets whilst watching. There was this one suite.

795
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:55.599
It was bobby and flat but a bit Bobby was pink,

796
01:06:56.800 --> 01:07:01.159
but it was mint and chewy. Can't remember what it's called.

797
01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:07.920
I liked them. Well. I just realized that that shop,

798
01:07:09.159 --> 01:07:14.599
the sweet shop they used to go into for years,

799
01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:18.079
was the same place that I worked at when I

800
01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:22.679
was in a chip shop. It's the same building, it

801
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:28.119
was the same entrance and I didn't realize just till now.

802
01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:33.320
So I don't know what on earth was next to it,

803
01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:36.840
because it was a lot bigger than the shop. The

804
01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:41.199
shop was quite small, unless he lived in the back

805
01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:45.239
or something, and upstairs I don't know. And then maybe

806
01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:50.840
he just kept all his suits or stocked up. Oh

807
01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:52.760
he had a really big bathroom. I don't know. But

808
01:07:52.840 --> 01:07:57.199
the place was that the building was not small, but

809
01:07:57.360 --> 01:08:01.320
his shop wasn't big. Go in and pretty much you'd

810
01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:03.599
walk in and you're pretty much you were at the

811
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:06.599
counter when you got in there. There was no big

812
01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:16.359
long walk to get to the counter. And it was

813
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:22.079
that exact building, that exact same shop as the chip

814
01:08:22.119 --> 01:08:28.479
shop that I ended up working in in eighty six. Wow,

815
01:08:31.479 --> 01:08:32.840
how strange.

816
01:08:32.359 --> 01:08:32.800
Is that.

817
01:08:35.159 --> 01:08:41.359
I completely forgot until now. I wonder what other things

818
01:08:41.399 --> 01:08:48.439
I've forgotten, because this is the stuff that interests me,

819
01:08:53.359 --> 01:09:00.680
remembering things that you know, I guess I thought i'd

820
01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:11.119
forgotten but was still there inside my memory. I mean,

821
01:09:11.239 --> 01:09:16.279
you know, arguably it wasn't the most exciting memory. Perhaps

822
01:09:16.439 --> 01:09:22.359
nice intriguing and figurating and yeah, on the edge of

823
01:09:22.399 --> 01:09:29.560
your chair sitting story that I thought it was when

824
01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:35.159
I told you. But I find it kind of interesting

825
01:09:35.279 --> 01:09:39.600
that I was able to remember something that I had

826
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:45.800
completely forgotten. In fact, I'd even forgotten that that used

827
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:48.439
to be the sweet shop when I worked at the

828
01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:53.880
chip shop. So I've forgotten that that building was the

829
01:09:53.960 --> 01:09:57.680
chip shop and was the sweet shop. Sorry, I forgot

830
01:09:59.760 --> 01:10:04.439
e and then in nineteen eighty six, because it was

831
01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:08.159
a sweet shop probably until maybe nineteen eighty three eighty four.

832
01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:29.359
How weird. That's really strange, isn't it. Wow? Yeah, ooh,

833
01:10:29.520 --> 01:10:38.800
ooh ooh. Do I only have other favorite chocolate or

834
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:50.279
does ice cream count? I do? Like, I'll tell you

835
01:10:50.279 --> 01:10:52.600
one of my oh what was it called?

836
01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:53.960
Oh?

837
01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:57.720
What's that chocolate? That ice cream covered in chocolate and

838
01:10:58.960 --> 01:11:02.560
freckles of like nut, and then you buy into it

839
01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:05.279
and eventually you've got like a bit of.

840
01:11:05.279 --> 01:11:06.039
Chocolate on her.

841
01:11:07.439 --> 01:11:11.560
Oh, it's been so long since I've had an ice

842
01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:16.159
cream bar. I used to know all the names of

843
01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:22.600
the ice creams, but it's gone out of Mied's left

844
01:11:22.680 --> 01:11:23.800
mired for some reason.

845
01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:26.359
M hmm.

846
01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:34.119
Right. Thanks to that. Maria asks you, do you have

847
01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:40.039
a favorite all time comedian from your time at the

848
01:11:40.079 --> 01:11:44.680
comedy club, famous or otherwise? Thank you? I came Maria

849
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:55.600
thanks for that all time favorite comedian. The So what

850
01:11:55.840 --> 01:12:01.159
do I early focus on comedians that I've seen, whether

851
01:12:01.319 --> 01:12:04.960
at my comedy well, the comedy club that I was

852
01:12:05.000 --> 01:12:07.920
involved in, or any other comedy club, or someone that

853
01:12:08.000 --> 01:12:10.720
I performed with or you know, I was on the

854
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:18.359
same bill. But no comedians. I'm not going to talk

855
01:12:18.359 --> 01:12:22.199
about any comedians that are around that have come afterwards

856
01:12:22.319 --> 01:12:26.199
or that were before, or anyone in America apart from

857
01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:31.560
the ones that see live. So as far as comedians,

858
01:12:31.600 --> 01:12:36.600
there's two comedians that made me laugh the most in

859
01:12:37.359 --> 01:12:43.359
a live show in my memory, and one was Dennis Leary.

860
01:12:43.840 --> 01:12:47.720
So he came over from America, but I saw him.

861
01:12:47.880 --> 01:12:52.720
I basically followed him around for I think he was

862
01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:57.840
here for about two weeks, and I went and saw

863
01:12:57.920 --> 01:13:02.399
him at every opportunity. I saw him at probably four

864
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:07.359
different clubs, and he was hilarious. Honestly, is one of

865
01:13:07.399 --> 01:13:11.239
the first comedians that I've seen that just had me

866
01:13:13.000 --> 01:13:21.520
laughing all the way through, uncontrollably laughing. Another one, very

867
01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:26.399
similar situation. Really it was a little bit later. It

868
01:13:26.439 --> 01:13:30.600
was Jerry Jerry Sadovich and it was in a little club.

869
01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:35.039
I'm not sure if I'd performed if I was performing

870
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:37.920
that night, I just went there to watch him. But

871
01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:41.319
it was in it was in a room above a pub.

872
01:13:42.479 --> 01:13:48.239
It wasn't a big audience, but he was so so funny.

873
01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:51.199
I mean, it wasn't a small audience, but there was

874
01:13:51.199 --> 01:13:54.640
probably couldn't have been more than like fifty sixty people there,

875
01:13:54.920 --> 01:13:57.560
so it wasn't a big space in a nice stage.

876
01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:00.720
He just stood on the same level as the audience.

877
01:14:02.239 --> 01:14:06.920
So funny. I was laughing, I really laughed loud and

878
01:14:07.079 --> 01:14:11.079
just like just so, they're the two that made me

879
01:14:11.399 --> 01:14:23.720
laugh the most our performance. You know that that? Yeah,

880
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:28.520
So then too, They're not my favorite comedians, which is

881
01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:31.439
a probably weird thing to say, but if I was

882
01:14:31.439 --> 01:14:36.039
going to choose my favorite comedians, and I've got respect

883
01:14:36.119 --> 01:14:38.800
for any anyone that will go on stage and perform

884
01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:45.680
because it's not easy, and anyone that can actually be successful,

885
01:14:45.880 --> 01:14:53.800
like wow, that's that's amazing. It's like good for them.

886
01:14:53.880 --> 01:15:00.199
But as far as favorite performers favorite comedians, I do

887
01:15:00.319 --> 01:15:03.439
like Jimmy Carr. Jimmy Carr's funny. I find him funny

888
01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:07.319
and I used to know him as well, so I

889
01:15:07.359 --> 01:15:11.880
saw him for years performing at comparing at the club

890
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:14.800
you know, so I knew him. I didn't know him

891
01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:17.840
really well, but I knew him to chat to, and

892
01:15:17.880 --> 01:15:24.680
I saw him perform on stage probably at least a

893
01:15:24.760 --> 01:15:28.279
hundred times, if not more so. I kind of I

894
01:15:28.359 --> 01:15:32.439
knew his act inside and out at that time, but

895
01:15:32.640 --> 01:15:33.720
not anymore.

896
01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:36.600
So.

897
01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:40.439
I guess I didn't appreciate him as much because I

898
01:15:40.520 --> 01:15:42.640
kept seeing him. He was doing a lot of the

899
01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:46.640
same stuff, which is just normal for comedians. You know,

900
01:15:46.800 --> 01:15:48.960
if they move around, they do the same They might

901
01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:52.479
have like five four gigs in one night and perform

902
01:15:52.560 --> 01:15:55.800
the same act four times in a row. But the

903
01:15:55.840 --> 01:15:58.760
audience to them it's new because then I've seen him before,

904
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:04.279
especially on the London circuit where most of the comedians

905
01:16:04.479 --> 01:16:09.319
are not famous, well a lot at that time, most

906
01:16:09.359 --> 01:16:12.279
of them weren't known, so people would see them for

907
01:16:12.319 --> 01:16:19.359
the first time. So what seemed like ad libbing or

908
01:16:19.359 --> 01:16:21.319
what seemed like it might seem like the comedian was

909
01:16:21.319 --> 01:16:24.439
making stuff up on the spot, when actually they weren't.

910
01:16:24.479 --> 01:16:30.760
It was finely tuned, honed material from years of doing it.

911
01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:38.159
I'm just trying to think, my favorite, that's what problem

912
01:16:38.199 --> 01:16:40.840
I had. One of the problems I had, apart from

913
01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:49.159
not being very good. Is I didn't have the discipline

914
01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:54.439
to go on stage and perform the same material. It

915
01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:57.640
bored me performing the same material. I wanted to write

916
01:16:57.680 --> 01:17:02.680
new material, and the new material was no better than

917
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:05.800
the old material, and none of it was particularly great.

918
01:17:05.880 --> 01:17:09.079
I had a few good one liners, but it was

919
01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:14.680
I didn't and it. And also depending on what mood

920
01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:19.119
I was in about how I performed. And there's one

921
01:17:20.079 --> 01:17:23.640
gig I did where it's actually for the same promoter,

922
01:17:24.239 --> 01:17:26.840
so she would I only had two promoters that would

923
01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:32.199
give me regular gigs, paid gigs, and one was Dolly

924
01:17:32.680 --> 01:17:38.479
and every one was z And Dolly was a fellow

925
01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:41.800
comedian like me. She was quite new, but she was

926
01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:44.399
a good promoter and she we were friends, and she

927
01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:48.600
gave me gigs wherever she was. She she opened up

928
01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:52.119
little clubs around the cut, around London area. She had

929
01:17:52.199 --> 01:17:55.439
really one, a really good one and a big one

930
01:17:55.640 --> 01:17:59.680
in color Men. Where he is now or where it was?

931
01:18:00.640 --> 01:18:03.239
What if it's still it's still running? I'm going to

932
01:18:03.359 --> 01:18:32.640
check this now, is I wonder? I wonder now I've

933
01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:36.039
been running since two thousand and two. That's long after

934
01:18:37.560 --> 01:18:48.720
I was mine was the nineties. I wonder if because. Okay.

935
01:18:48.760 --> 01:18:51.920
So there was a comedy club called the Crack Comedy

936
01:18:51.960 --> 01:18:56.000
Club and she had to change her name to Crack

937
01:18:56.079 --> 01:18:59.680
as in the Irish version, which is cr a. I

938
01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:09.920
K I think an it's a really good club, really good.

939
01:19:12.199 --> 01:19:24.640
I wonder, of course his land stand up. Okay, so

940
01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:28.479
I'll go back if I put in the original name.

941
01:19:28.600 --> 01:19:36.640
What's going on? Okay, maybe it's not running anymore. It's possible.

942
01:19:37.079 --> 01:19:41.159
I mean sometimes even if a club's really it is,

943
01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:48.479
it is it is, but it looks like this one

944
01:19:48.600 --> 01:19:59.720
is in Ireland, I say about the crack Den Comedy

945
01:19:59.760 --> 01:20:02.479
Club is where Ireland's best comedians take to the stage.

946
01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:12.479
So yes, it's in Ireland. No, I thought it was

947
01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:21.520
a Wimbledon the Crack then comedy Okay. Do I remember

948
01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:32.279
her name, Dolly Dupre. It's weird. I don't remember her name,

949
01:20:32.319 --> 01:20:36.760
but I do. The comedy club must include Dolly Dupre

950
01:20:38.439 --> 01:20:43.600
Dotty Dupre doty do pre dotty dot dot Dupre did

951
01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:46.840
do did.

952
01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:47.880
No.

953
01:20:48.279 --> 01:20:50.359
I can't seem to find it. But she was really

954
01:20:50.359 --> 01:20:54.399
good to me, So that was nice. And Z my

955
01:20:54.479 --> 01:21:01.119
friend Zed he had a club called Chicken Reggies and

956
01:21:01.159 --> 01:21:05.840
again he had like a really really big one on

957
01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:10.039
a Sunday night, big audience, but he also had other

958
01:21:10.119 --> 01:21:15.520
ones started around, like in pubs and stuff. So everyone

959
01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:19.920
loved said, they really did because he was he was lovely,

960
01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:24.520
but he One of the things he did is he'd

961
01:21:24.520 --> 01:21:30.439
put on a comedy night and it all he'd get

962
01:21:30.560 --> 01:21:34.520
good acts. He'd also give people like me a chance.

963
01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:38.000
Plus he was my friend anyway, but he gave people

964
01:21:38.319 --> 01:21:41.560
like me, you know, an opportunity to do a gig,

965
01:21:41.680 --> 01:21:44.760
and if we did well, he'd give it pay. But

966
01:21:44.920 --> 01:21:48.399
something that he was known for is he always paid

967
01:21:48.399 --> 01:21:52.640
the acts regardless of what the audience was, like, how

968
01:21:52.680 --> 01:21:56.399
many people turned up, even if no one turned up,

969
01:21:56.520 --> 01:21:59.640
he would still pay the acts. So he was able

970
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:03.560
to get big names on the circuit to do his

971
01:22:03.640 --> 01:22:08.199
gigs because he would pay. He'd arrange a payment and

972
01:22:08.239 --> 01:22:11.880
he'd pay probably as much as any of the other clubs.

973
01:22:11.920 --> 01:22:14.239
Maybe not the comedy store, but you know of like

974
01:22:14.279 --> 01:22:17.359
the normal club. So whether it was one hundred quid

975
01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:23.560
or whatever it was back then, that's it paid the acts.

976
01:22:23.600 --> 01:22:30.800
That money, so guaranteed he got decent acts and everyone

977
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:35.319
liked him. Everyone respected him, and he did compare himself.

978
01:22:37.399 --> 01:22:40.079
But the audience because he was friends for the audience.

979
01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:43.039
It's almost like he invited his friends to come along

980
01:22:43.600 --> 01:22:47.680
and it was a Z party. It was a really

981
01:22:47.800 --> 01:22:56.319
nice atmosphere, really really nice. So I'm thinking, if I

982
01:22:56.399 --> 01:22:59.319
was going to say my favorite stand up to me

983
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:04.039
edian in this country out of those that I met

984
01:23:04.680 --> 01:23:12.800
whilst doing comedy or ones that I saw on stage, Oh,

985
01:23:13.399 --> 01:23:24.319
Stewart Lee number one. Stewart Lee. Yeah, A short answer,

986
01:23:25.439 --> 01:23:30.880
So yeah, Stewart Lee was my I was going to

987
01:23:30.960 --> 01:23:37.239
say he's probably my favorite. Now, the answer would have

988
01:23:37.239 --> 01:23:42.920
been different. In the nineties, I had a few. I

989
01:23:42.960 --> 01:23:45.920
would say my favorite. For a while, my favorite comedian

990
01:23:46.039 --> 01:23:50.880
was Mark Thomas. Absolutely loved Mark Thomas, and I wanted

991
01:23:50.880 --> 01:23:55.239
to be him. I was never going to be him,

992
01:23:55.760 --> 01:24:02.399
but I wanted to be him because I just it

993
01:24:02.479 --> 01:24:05.960
was nice to me. But that again, so was. I

994
01:24:06.079 --> 01:24:11.960
used to see Stewart Lee quite often. I did quite

995
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:14.720
a few gigs with him, and he was always nice

996
01:24:14.720 --> 01:24:17.439
to me and he treated me as an equal, and

997
01:24:17.479 --> 01:24:23.600
I wasn't you know. He was a headliner and he's

998
01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:27.560
got a huge following around the world. Actually, but he's

999
01:24:27.600 --> 01:24:30.680
got a huge following and he does a lot of

1000
01:24:30.720 --> 01:24:36.159
live gigs. I think he's written books, he's had DVD.

1001
01:24:36.680 --> 01:24:41.000
You know, he's done specials on Amazon or Netflix, one

1002
01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:47.560
of them. But he doesn't He was never up himself

1003
01:24:51.399 --> 01:24:54.479
and he never put me down. Even though I was

1004
01:24:54.680 --> 01:24:58.520
pretty much useless at the old stand up. He was

1005
01:24:59.479 --> 01:25:02.920
nice to me. I did find that quite often with

1006
01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:06.039
some of the really good comedians. They didn't need to

1007
01:25:06.079 --> 01:25:14.920
be horrible because they were very secure, I guess in

1008
01:25:14.960 --> 01:25:20.159
their own abilities. There's some other comedians I will mention,

1009
01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:23.920
so Stuart Lee will be I put him at the top. Now,

1010
01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:30.800
in the nineties there was a few that it's one

1011
01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:40.399
particular one, Mark Lamar. Now, Mark Lamar did comedy. He

1012
01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:42.359
didn't do it for a long time before he was

1013
01:25:42.439 --> 01:25:46.920
discovered and got on TV. So I saw him quite

1014
01:25:47.039 --> 01:25:51.039
I saw it quite a few times before he got

1015
01:25:51.079 --> 01:25:53.720
on TV and he started doing a Big Brother and

1016
01:25:53.720 --> 01:26:00.279
then The Big Breakfast rather the Word and this early nineties,

1017
01:26:01.800 --> 01:26:05.079
and then he did the never Mind the Buzzcocks. He

1018
01:26:05.199 --> 01:26:09.039
did a couple of other things as well, so he's

1019
01:26:09.479 --> 01:26:14.439
you know, he established himself as a TV star, and

1020
01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:17.119
he's got radio shows. I think he still does radio

1021
01:26:17.159 --> 01:26:25.159
shows now. I remember in about late nineties, maybe two

1022
01:26:25.199 --> 01:26:35.640
thousand he he was doing. He came and did a gig,

1023
01:26:36.880 --> 01:26:39.560
but he was doing a live I don't know if

1024
01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:41.520
he did a gig or he just now I think

1025
01:26:41.560 --> 01:26:45.319
he actually did a gig. It was like my friends,

1026
01:26:46.760 --> 01:26:52.560
it was the celebration of the the tenth anniversary of

1027
01:26:52.600 --> 01:26:56.640
the Comedy Club something like that. So Mark Lamar, quite

1028
01:26:56.640 --> 01:26:59.159
a few other big names came along and did a show.

1029
01:26:59.479 --> 01:27:02.159
So it was a special, like one off thing. Maybe

1030
01:27:02.199 --> 01:27:05.880
it was for charity something like that. And so Mark

1031
01:27:05.960 --> 01:27:09.119
Laura was there and I said to him, I didn't.

1032
01:27:09.159 --> 01:27:11.399
I don't even know if he remembers me, but if

1033
01:27:11.439 --> 01:27:13.279
he remembered me at that point, because I've done a

1034
01:27:13.319 --> 01:27:19.000
gigs with him, you know, eight nine years earlier. But

1035
01:27:19.079 --> 01:27:23.399
I said to him, you know what it's really weird.

1036
01:27:24.800 --> 01:27:27.960
It's what's to do? What's weird about you? And he

1037
01:27:28.279 --> 01:27:34.880
looked at me like uh huh. And I said, what

1038
01:27:34.960 --> 01:27:42.960
I don't understand is you go, You're on TV, so

1039
01:27:43.039 --> 01:27:44.920
you're big style, so you can making lots of money

1040
01:27:44.960 --> 01:27:52.600
and stuff, but you never you don't. I didn't, I

1041
01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:55.079
didn't say it rudely, but you don't. You don't come

1042
01:27:55.119 --> 01:28:00.520
across your your stand up ability does not come across

1043
01:28:00.560 --> 01:28:04.359
on TV and he said, what do you mean? I said,

1044
01:28:04.760 --> 01:28:08.600
it's like when you're doing the word and when you

1045
01:28:08.640 --> 01:28:13.720
were doing what people don't realize is that you were

1046
01:28:13.720 --> 01:28:20.439
one of the best comedians this country had. So he

1047
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:25.359
started listening to me. Now, what Mark lamarcud do is?

1048
01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:31.520
I once saw him on stage and it was at

1049
01:28:31.560 --> 01:28:39.439
the looking forward to Christmas this year?

1050
01:28:39.720 --> 01:28:41.119
Do do.

1051
01:28:42.680 --> 01:28:51.680
Do? I want to celebrate Christmas because I want to

1052
01:28:51.680 --> 01:28:54.399
make some changes. I know I've moved on from I'm

1053
01:28:54.439 --> 01:28:58.359
coming back to make Wamma. It's really got me thinking

1054
01:28:58.439 --> 01:29:13.680
though the last month is maybe miss introspection, isn't it,

1055
01:29:15.159 --> 01:29:18.920
but also outrospection because I'm also looking at my surroundings.

1056
01:29:18.920 --> 01:29:22.880
It's not really just how do I feel, but looking

1057
01:29:22.960 --> 01:29:32.760
around and having a different perspective because you know, since

1058
01:29:32.840 --> 01:29:43.680
two thousand this will be like one, two, three, four,

1059
01:29:46.199 --> 01:29:51.800
potentially four losses, you know, just in those five years,

1060
01:29:53.159 --> 01:29:56.239
and two of the biggest losses of my life was

1061
01:29:56.319 --> 01:30:00.640
Luke and Andre. So without getting all heavy and stuff

1062
01:30:00.720 --> 01:30:06.800
is and now with Uncle Sausages, I'm just like, perhaps

1063
01:30:06.800 --> 01:30:12.600
I need to be a bit more appreciative of what

1064
01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:21.840
I do have. Yeah, And I'm thinking I always loved

1065
01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:25.560
Christmas when I was a kid. I haven't loved Christmas

1066
01:30:25.600 --> 01:30:29.000
since I was a kid, but I do love the

1067
01:30:29.079 --> 01:30:32.560
build up to Christmas. Christmas itself is a time when

1068
01:30:32.560 --> 01:30:37.279
I'm on my own, and I don't I'm not particularly jolly,

1069
01:30:39.039 --> 01:30:43.399
but I do like the build up. And really I

1070
01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:51.399
think the thing that's missing is probably just being a

1071
01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:55.640
kid again, having loads of presents. You know, I suppose

1072
01:30:55.640 --> 01:30:59.399
I quite like to just go back to that. And

1073
01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:04.680
I can't go back to that, but just be opening

1074
01:31:04.720 --> 01:31:11.079
loads of presents on Christmas morning in my pajamas in

1075
01:31:11.159 --> 01:31:17.159
the park. Yeah, I don't know, but yeah, just just anyway,

1076
01:31:17.399 --> 01:31:24.399
back to Mark Lamar. I once saw him Stretten, not Stretton.

1077
01:31:26.760 --> 01:31:32.079
It wasn't Stretton how it doesn't matter. But it was

1078
01:31:32.119 --> 01:31:38.760
a big, big, big gig. There was probably three hundred

1079
01:31:39.439 --> 01:31:42.520
people there at least. That was quite big for a gig,

1080
01:31:42.640 --> 01:31:45.279
like in a comedy circuit. But it was back then,

1081
01:31:47.920 --> 01:31:53.079
and he'd just been to see what he said, He

1082
01:31:53.159 --> 01:32:00.199
had just been to see a what's his name? The

1083
01:32:00.199 --> 01:32:12.079
the wrapper. Okay, no, can't fix this, do do do not.

1084
01:32:12.399 --> 01:32:17.880
Can't fix this, can't fix this, can't beat this, can't

1085
01:32:19.479 --> 01:32:27.399
mc hammer what does this? Can't fix this whatever? Anyway,

1086
01:32:27.439 --> 01:32:29.560
it was mc hammer, So we went to see mc

1087
01:32:29.720 --> 01:32:36.319
hammer at Wembley. I think, well, maybe I'm sure he

1088
01:32:36.319 --> 01:32:38.840
said Hyde Park, but why would mc hammer be at

1089
01:32:38.920 --> 01:32:42.119
Hyde Park. That's going to be it. I'm going to

1090
01:32:42.199 --> 01:33:00.159
google that mc hammer hammer at Hyde Park, Hyde Park

1091
01:33:01.159 --> 01:33:15.359
nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one. Wow, images of mc hammer

1092
01:33:15.439 --> 01:33:29.359
at na Hyde Park in nineteen ninety one. Really, he

1093
01:33:29.479 --> 01:33:36.000
was like, what a weird thing to remember he did

1094
01:33:36.119 --> 01:33:39.239
forty eight concerts on his world tour in ninety one,

1095
01:33:40.039 --> 01:33:49.560
so let's just go to UK. So he did. He

1096
01:33:49.640 --> 01:33:56.560
came to the UK May twoententy thirteen, Wembley Stadium, Wembley Stadium,

1097
01:33:56.640 --> 01:34:04.199
Wendley Stadium, Wembley Stadium, and then GMCH Center which is

1098
01:34:04.239 --> 01:34:10.680
in Manchester, Wembley Arena. I went to, Yeah, well, Wembley Arena,

1099
01:34:11.199 --> 01:34:20.800
Wembley Arena, National Exhibition Center. That's third of May, second

1100
01:34:20.800 --> 01:34:27.640
of May. Let's go next. So where this this sounds

1101
01:34:27.680 --> 01:34:37.199
about right in the summer, but where is it? Where

1102
01:34:37.199 --> 01:34:40.880
does it say? Hyde Park? I'll not seen anything any

1103
01:34:41.000 --> 01:34:50.079
Hyde Park, Wembley Arena. Maybe it was just an appearance.

1104
01:34:50.119 --> 01:34:52.359
I don't know. I can't see any Hyde Park here,

1105
01:34:52.920 --> 01:34:54.600
but when I put it in it did come up

1106
01:34:55.399 --> 01:35:17.800
Hyde Park. Please don't hurt world tour. That's weird. There's

1107
01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:28.600
actually a video on YouTube. It says classic. Maybe it

1108
01:35:28.640 --> 01:35:33.000
was at Wembley, it was somewhere. I mean it was

1109
01:35:33.079 --> 01:35:35.680
quite late, to be fair. I think he went on

1110
01:35:35.720 --> 01:35:40.880
stage about eleven or ten or eleven. Mark Lamar did so.

1111
01:35:41.039 --> 01:35:43.520
Maybe he had been to the concert and he came

1112
01:35:43.560 --> 01:35:48.720
straight there. But I said what he did. He talked

1113
01:35:48.720 --> 01:35:51.640
about mc hammer. But there was one point where there

1114
01:35:51.720 --> 01:35:55.439
was someone sitting on a table in front of the

1115
01:35:55.560 --> 01:35:59.640
stage and Mark Lamar looked down at him and the

1116
01:35:59.680 --> 01:36:07.279
bloke was just looking at the table and Mark Lamar sick.

1117
01:36:07.359 --> 01:36:11.119
He says, Mark, Mark, he got about ten minutes worth

1118
01:36:11.159 --> 01:36:14.840
of material just by the person looking at the table.

1119
01:36:16.600 --> 01:36:23.199
He was that good. He just ad libbed. That's what

1120
01:36:23.439 --> 01:36:26.159
he was so good at. I mean, I know he

1121
01:36:26.239 --> 01:36:29.640
had material and he probably used maybe he used some

1122
01:36:29.720 --> 01:36:33.000
of it before, you know, but he was he could talk.

1123
01:36:33.439 --> 01:36:43.159
He could It wasn't all rehearsed. That was so he

1124
01:36:43.279 --> 01:36:46.319
was so good. Honestly, it's one of the best stand

1125
01:36:46.399 --> 01:36:51.119
up comedians I ever saw, as far as skill and

1126
01:36:51.359 --> 01:36:59.680
how he could just get material out of nothing. And

1127
01:36:59.880 --> 01:37:02.359
I remember saying that to him and he said, well,

1128
01:37:02.640 --> 01:37:06.680
he agreed with me. Actually, very few people would disagree

1129
01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:10.239
when you tell them that they're great. But he said

1130
01:37:12.079 --> 01:37:15.000
because he was on tour. He just finished his tour

1131
01:37:15.960 --> 01:37:18.760
and he hadn't been on tour for years. He did

1132
01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:21.720
a tour when he first got famous, and he did

1133
01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:26.000
another one. This is probably ninety nine, two thousand, something

1134
01:37:26.039 --> 01:37:29.880
like that, and he said he couldn't believe the amount

1135
01:37:29.880 --> 01:37:32.920
of people that came up to him afterwards and said, well,

1136
01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:37.000
that was really funny. Didn't speak to be that funny.

1137
01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:39.199
Why did you come and see me?

1138
01:37:39.239 --> 01:37:39.439
Then?

1139
01:37:41.039 --> 01:37:42.600
So they were going to see him because he was

1140
01:37:42.640 --> 01:37:48.600
hosted never mind the Buzzcocks. He was a television celebrity,

1141
01:37:50.760 --> 01:37:53.560
but they they didn't realize that he was really funny.

1142
01:37:54.439 --> 01:38:04.000
Like I mean, stand up, I mean and yeah, i'd

1143
01:38:04.079 --> 01:38:12.399
say now Stewart Lee, Oh wow, I forgot one of

1144
01:38:12.399 --> 01:38:24.159
the main the main people. What's his name, Sean Locke.

1145
01:38:24.319 --> 01:38:25.640
I'm trying to think. I was going to try and

1146
01:38:25.680 --> 01:38:31.119
look it up, but yeah, sew lock Sew Locke. He

1147
01:38:31.399 --> 01:38:35.560
I'm thoughtunate he's not around anymore, but he was there

1148
01:38:35.640 --> 01:38:42.520
was two comedians comedians there was when I was on

1149
01:38:42.560 --> 01:38:47.760
the circuit. There's only two comedians that really everyone got.

1150
01:38:47.760 --> 01:38:49.960
All the other comedians seemed to get excited to watch.

1151
01:38:52.279 --> 01:38:59.239
One of them was Eddiezard and the other album was

1152
01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:04.359
Sewn Mark. Those two were the ones where people would

1153
01:39:04.560 --> 01:39:07.159
the comedians would go and see them, or if they

1154
01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:09.720
were doing a gig. They's say, if they were doing

1155
01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:11.600
a show in a theater or they're doing a gig,

1156
01:39:11.880 --> 01:39:15.760
they'd turn up to watch them perform because they were

1157
01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:20.880
so good. That Eddie Yizard was He was the king

1158
01:39:22.239 --> 01:39:26.319
of stand up in the nineties. I mean he he'd

1159
01:39:26.359 --> 01:39:30.399
already I tell you what he did, Eddiezard he or

1160
01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:34.840
she now? But what Eddie? What Eddie did?

1161
01:39:35.319 --> 01:39:37.000
Edi Eddie?

1162
01:39:37.720 --> 01:39:43.680
What Eddie did was I think he actually paid to

1163
01:39:43.800 --> 01:39:48.159
rent out a theater in the West End and he

1164
01:39:48.239 --> 01:39:54.960
put on his own show and it became a huge success.

1165
01:39:58.319 --> 01:40:03.000
And I think I swim twice live. He compared this show.

1166
01:40:03.359 --> 01:40:06.000
It was like a small gig, but it was his.

1167
01:40:06.880 --> 01:40:14.000
It was his gig, and the audience were there to

1168
01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:18.560
see him. You know, they weren't there to see the

1169
01:40:18.560 --> 01:40:21.439
other acts they see, They're just to see him. And

1170
01:40:21.479 --> 01:40:24.199
they would have been happy just to watch him all

1171
01:40:24.279 --> 01:40:28.720
night because he was so good. And Sean Locke was

1172
01:40:28.760 --> 01:40:32.920
another one where people would the other comedians would get

1173
01:40:32.920 --> 01:40:37.239
excited to see him. So the comedians comedian, both of

1174
01:40:37.239 --> 01:40:40.239
them were kind of at the top of the list

1175
01:40:40.319 --> 01:40:45.359
back then. The amount of times I heard people saying, oh,

1176
01:40:45.520 --> 01:40:49.880
seank Lock's on at the Is it the comedy store tonight,

1177
01:40:49.960 --> 01:40:52.159
or is it a comedy cafe or is the Jonglers?

1178
01:40:52.600 --> 01:40:56.039
And the comedians that could they'd finished their night, they'd

1179
01:40:56.079 --> 01:41:01.960
go and see him. It happened less with Eddie Is

1180
01:41:02.359 --> 01:41:08.960
because he was famous earlier, so he was doing sold

1181
01:41:09.000 --> 01:41:14.039
out theaters and travel in the world, you know, So

1182
01:41:14.680 --> 01:41:18.840
he was kind of the most famous comedian pretty much

1183
01:41:19.479 --> 01:41:29.119
from the circuit at that time. All time favorite comedians, Yeah,

1184
01:41:29.119 --> 01:41:33.640
so I'm going to say Stewart Lee, but I've respected

1185
01:41:33.720 --> 01:41:40.600
lots of them. And Alan Davis I really liked him

1186
01:41:41.039 --> 01:41:43.840
and he was always really nice to me, although he

1187
01:41:43.920 --> 01:41:49.680
was a little cheeky. So Alan Davis's he's gone. He

1188
01:41:49.720 --> 01:41:55.640
went on to do TV shows and stuff, and he's

1189
01:41:57.880 --> 01:41:59.600
what is that there's a TV show that he's on

1190
01:41:59.680 --> 01:42:03.279
regular A couple of TV shows, a regularly but I

1191
01:42:03.279 --> 01:42:05.319
remember I did a gig with him and I said

1192
01:42:05.359 --> 01:42:10.640
to him, if this doesn't go well, I'm quitting. Because

1193
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:13.039
he used to chat to me. He was he was

1194
01:42:13.039 --> 01:42:17.840
a headline act, clearly going places, he'd won awards, and

1195
01:42:17.880 --> 01:42:21.399
he was just so down to earth and friendly to me.

1196
01:42:22.359 --> 01:42:27.880
Didn't you know some comedians weren't, but he was. So

1197
01:42:27.920 --> 01:42:32.520
he's very friendly and he just laughed and we just

1198
01:42:32.560 --> 01:42:34.840
have a laugh and he said, I said, if this

1199
01:42:34.920 --> 01:42:39.079
doesn't work out tonight, I'm quitting. And the next time

1200
01:42:39.159 --> 01:42:46.560
I see him a gig, is it a different gig?

1201
01:42:46.600 --> 01:42:48.479
But I walk in and sit down and he said, oh,

1202
01:42:48.520 --> 01:42:53.680
I thought you'd quit, And he started laughing. And I

1203
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:56.399
thought it was so cheeky because it didn't go very

1204
01:42:56.399 --> 01:43:01.600
well that gig that i'd had. I really and it

1205
01:43:01.720 --> 01:43:05.479
really it tickled him. But the fact is that he

1206
01:43:05.560 --> 01:43:09.359
remembered me. It's like, okay, it's nice. It's nice to

1207
01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:16.000
be remembered by someone that is in that world. He

1208
01:43:16.239 --> 01:43:21.880
was a superstar like Eddie Izzard, Mark Lamar, Mark, Thomas,

1209
01:43:22.760 --> 01:43:27.119
Kevin Day. The list is quite long, to be fair,

1210
01:43:27.600 --> 01:43:30.640
but they were all really big stars on the circuit.

1211
01:43:31.279 --> 01:43:34.119
They were super even if they were on TV yet

1212
01:43:34.479 --> 01:43:39.239
Harry Hill, people like that, you just knew. It was

1213
01:43:39.279 --> 01:43:40.880
so obvious that they were going to go on to

1214
01:43:40.960 --> 01:43:48.279
be TV stars. Ardlow Handlon, although I never met him,

1215
01:43:48.760 --> 01:43:53.439
it's yeah. And then there was others that never became

1216
01:43:53.520 --> 01:43:57.239
TV stars, and they were just as good, just as funny.

1217
01:43:58.319 --> 01:44:03.399
For whatever reason, they didn't go on to be big stars.

1218
01:44:03.880 --> 01:44:10.479
Someone like booth By Grafo, phenomenal performer, but he never

1219
01:44:10.520 --> 01:44:14.199
went on to be a huge star. There was another one,

1220
01:44:15.720 --> 01:44:18.319
I forget his name, but he was doing theaters. He

1221
01:44:18.439 --> 01:44:22.720
was really doing well, but he never went on to

1222
01:44:22.760 --> 01:44:26.439
be a star, never went on to be on TV

1223
01:44:26.600 --> 01:44:30.720
or anything like that. And it's not because his material

1224
01:44:30.880 --> 01:44:36.720
was adult, because it wasn't. I don't know what happened.

1225
01:44:38.119 --> 01:44:43.159
It's not everyone fits the mold, I suppose or not.

1226
01:44:43.199 --> 01:44:54.920
Everyone fits in with what the TV people want. Yeah,

1227
01:44:55.319 --> 01:44:58.399
I'm going to stick with Steward Lee. But as far

1228
01:44:58.520 --> 01:45:03.319
as heroes, I would say Mark Thomas for he was

1229
01:45:03.359 --> 01:45:06.760
one of my heroes a comedy. But I really I

1230
01:45:06.840 --> 01:45:10.119
really liked Stewart Lee because we used to chat and stuff,

1231
01:45:10.119 --> 01:45:12.880
so he was always nice. He actually he used to

1232
01:45:12.960 --> 01:45:17.399
be able to forget what the right word is, but

1233
01:45:17.560 --> 01:45:24.960
he could break down someone's act and tell me a joke.

1234
01:45:25.079 --> 01:45:32.199
So he would tell me a joke in another person's style. So,

1235
01:45:32.479 --> 01:45:35.119
for example, he said, oh, Mark Thomas, because I think

1236
01:45:35.119 --> 01:45:38.600
I was gushing about Mark Thomas to him. He said, okay,

1237
01:45:38.800 --> 01:45:41.640
here's what Mark Thomas does, and he told me a joke.

1238
01:45:43.399 --> 01:45:45.600
He basically said something and this, this is a joke

1239
01:45:45.680 --> 01:45:52.039
in the style of Mark Thomas. And it was as like, okay,

1240
01:45:52.279 --> 01:45:54.960
but it didn't have the same delivery as Mark Thomas

1241
01:45:55.560 --> 01:45:59.960
because stew at least very laid back, very chilled out.

1242
01:46:00.119 --> 01:46:05.159
Mark Thomas is very kind of edgy. He was quite

1243
01:46:05.279 --> 01:46:09.000
edgy back then, and he wasn't He talked fast. And

1244
01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:13.079
I absolutely adored Mark Thomas, I really did. I used

1245
01:46:13.079 --> 01:46:15.920
to see him and he actually put me on the list,

1246
01:46:16.079 --> 01:46:18.600
gave me a telephone number. He put me on the

1247
01:46:19.840 --> 01:46:22.960
What's it a list for his Comedy Store performance, So

1248
01:46:23.000 --> 01:46:26.399
I went along and watched it, and he was really cool.

1249
01:46:26.960 --> 01:46:30.640
And there's also someone that remembers, who remembers people. So

1250
01:46:30.680 --> 01:46:33.880
I saw him years later when I was dealing with

1251
01:46:33.920 --> 01:46:36.479
the comedy club and he walked in with his shorts

1252
01:46:36.520 --> 01:46:39.199
on because he was doing a charity gig and he

1253
01:46:39.399 --> 01:46:44.279
turns up. You're right, Like like I saw him yesterday

1254
01:46:44.640 --> 01:46:48.119
and he was just like a normal person. Neither a

1255
01:46:48.199 --> 01:46:52.960
normal person, but you know, to me, regardless whether he's

1256
01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:55.920
still on TV or not, he'll always be a star

1257
01:46:56.920 --> 01:47:04.319
because he was. He you know, another person you could

1258
01:47:04.359 --> 01:47:08.520
say put it, you could argue saying the most famous

1259
01:47:08.560 --> 01:47:11.720
person is I used to know. I used to do

1260
01:47:11.840 --> 01:47:13.479
a lot of gigs with this person. And he's also

1261
01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:16.600
someone that I used to talk to quite a lot.

1262
01:47:16.720 --> 01:47:20.039
He was nice. He was at university while he was

1263
01:47:20.760 --> 01:47:25.720
doing comedy, and then he went on to be well known,

1264
01:47:25.760 --> 01:47:30.560
to be a really headliner act and think and wrote books,

1265
01:47:30.600 --> 01:47:33.199
did radio, did some TV, all that kind of stuff.

1266
01:47:33.239 --> 01:47:41.800
And Spider Man's dad Tom Holland, not to Tom Holland's dad,

1267
01:47:42.159 --> 01:47:48.039
so don't Spider Man Tom Holland. His dad is Dominic Holland,

1268
01:47:49.079 --> 01:47:54.840
and he's a stand up comedian. That's really weird because

1269
01:47:54.880 --> 01:47:59.760
I met him long before Tom Holland was born, before

1270
01:48:01.920 --> 01:48:05.199
I guess before he was married, before Dominique got married

1271
01:48:05.199 --> 01:48:13.640
and stuff and had kids, still at university, and it

1272
01:48:13.720 --> 01:48:17.880
was so lovely, so friendly. Another one, Harry Hill was

1273
01:48:17.920 --> 01:48:23.159
really friendly. He's a bit of Sha'll give you a

1274
01:48:23.199 --> 01:48:30.399
little bit of information about Harry Hill that you wouldn't

1275
01:48:30.439 --> 01:48:35.760
know unless I told you, unless you already knew. You

1276
01:48:35.760 --> 01:48:38.239
wouldn't know unless you know. If you already knew, then

1277
01:48:38.399 --> 01:48:46.640
there's nothing new. I think in about ninety I think

1278
01:48:46.720 --> 01:48:52.159
it was ninety two, Harry Hill. It was almost like

1279
01:48:52.359 --> 01:48:55.239
they knew he was going to be a star, and

1280
01:48:55.279 --> 01:48:57.520
he went on to be a star. I mean, he

1281
01:48:57.600 --> 01:49:01.319
still is a star. He's a very famous TV celebrity

1282
01:49:02.000 --> 01:49:06.159
and I used to love watching him on TV when

1283
01:49:06.199 --> 01:49:10.760
he did his TV burp. It's funny, It's really funny.

1284
01:49:11.119 --> 01:49:18.720
So I saw him rifle at the beginning. And they

1285
01:49:19.159 --> 01:49:23.760
announced in time out and maybe somewhere else that they

1286
01:49:23.760 --> 01:49:27.560
had changed his name because initially his name was Harry Hall,

1287
01:49:28.479 --> 01:49:34.039
h doubleel and they announced Harry Hall will now be

1288
01:49:34.159 --> 01:49:40.680
changing his name to Harry Hill because another celebrity or

1289
01:49:40.760 --> 01:49:43.680
performer had the name Harry Hall, and they were not

1290
01:49:43.760 --> 01:49:47.880
happy that he was using that name, and they had

1291
01:49:47.880 --> 01:49:57.640
it registered with whoever you register your name with. So

1292
01:49:57.920 --> 01:50:01.600
Harry Hall was his original name, then he changed it

1293
01:50:01.640 --> 01:50:06.039
to Harry Hill. And let me see, so I'm going

1294
01:50:06.119 --> 01:50:08.359
to check this up. Let's see what it comes up

1295
01:50:08.439 --> 01:50:20.960
on his So Harry Hill. Look at his Wikipedia page right,

1296
01:50:22.880 --> 01:50:32.000
born Matthew Keith Hall. That's his actual name is Harry

1297
01:50:32.119 --> 01:50:37.000
a short name for Matthew. I don't know. So his

1298
01:50:37.479 --> 01:50:48.199
original stand up name was Harry Hall. Blimey. He won

1299
01:50:48.279 --> 01:50:51.279
the Perrier Award for Best Newcomer at nineteen ninety two

1300
01:50:51.479 --> 01:50:57.039
Edward Festival Fringe Best Newcomer here I remember that, and

1301
01:50:57.079 --> 01:51:02.800
then he went on to He did Harry Hill's TV

1302
01:51:02.960 --> 01:51:09.800
Burp from two thousand and one to twenty twelve. Wow,

1303
01:51:10.840 --> 01:51:17.680
I still love watching that. Oh he did You've Been Framed? Yeah,

1304
01:51:17.720 --> 01:51:20.359
so he's but he's another one that was really lovely.

1305
01:51:21.359 --> 01:51:24.159
He seemed to turn into his character though, So he've

1306
01:51:24.199 --> 01:51:27.079
got this character on stage, and I noticed that he

1307
01:51:27.159 --> 01:51:31.159
seemed to be when I saw him offstage, which is

1308
01:51:31.920 --> 01:51:35.359
fairly often before gigs, it seemed like he was just

1309
01:51:35.399 --> 01:51:38.680
turning into that person. Maybe that just was the person,

1310
01:51:42.319 --> 01:51:46.720
but he was definitely brilliant, brilliant Comedians saw them loads

1311
01:51:46.760 --> 01:51:49.680
of times, very funny. But yeah, I'm going to stick

1312
01:51:49.720 --> 01:51:56.920
with Stewart Lee because the deconstruction that he does are

1313
01:51:57.079 --> 01:52:02.239
like that, he kind of deconstruc ducks his own jokes

1314
01:52:03.600 --> 01:52:11.239
before he tells them, and it's so well written, and

1315
01:52:11.279 --> 01:52:14.880
my stomach's gurgling, which makes me think, when did I

1316
01:52:14.920 --> 01:52:19.960
have my breakfast? Six thirty? Oh, it's time to have

1317
01:52:20.039 --> 01:52:27.159
something to eat. Yeah, Stuart Lee. The next question in

1318
01:52:27.960 --> 01:52:31.680
which member of the royal family do you like the most? Now,

1319
01:52:31.840 --> 01:52:36.560
I'm not saying this to be controversial, but none of them. No,

1320
01:52:36.600 --> 01:52:39.359
I'm not saying this to be controversial, but the only

1321
01:52:40.000 --> 01:52:44.840
member the royal family that I ever really liked other

1322
01:52:44.880 --> 01:52:50.600
than the Queen would be Princess Diana. Princess Dinah was

1323
01:52:50.600 --> 01:52:53.479
my favorite. Now I realize you're probably talking about ones

1324
01:52:53.520 --> 01:52:58.239
that are still alive. I don't have any. I don't

1325
01:52:58.239 --> 01:53:01.039
really feel any connection with any of them. To be

1326
01:53:01.039 --> 01:53:06.720
honest with you, I felt, I don't know, not connection.

1327
01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:10.279
But I love Princess Diana. Not loved her, but I

1328
01:53:10.399 --> 01:53:13.960
just she was from a very early age, she was

1329
01:53:15.039 --> 01:53:18.800
the princess. She was the most famous member of the

1330
01:53:18.840 --> 01:53:23.199
royal family. Really, and then you've got the Queen, and

1331
01:53:23.239 --> 01:53:30.960
I've grown up seeing the Queen. But I've never I

1332
01:53:31.159 --> 01:53:36.159
really have not had much interest in a royal family ever.

1333
01:53:36.600 --> 01:53:40.560
I was just I've seen I've watched two raw weddings

1334
01:53:40.600 --> 01:53:45.359
I watched the Princess Diana and Prince Charles at the time,

1335
01:53:45.399 --> 01:53:51.560
Prince Charles now King Charles, and I watched the Prince

1336
01:53:51.640 --> 01:53:59.840
Andrew and Fergie getting married Sarah Ferguson get married in

1337
01:54:00.520 --> 01:54:09.199
was it nineteen eighty seven. I think outside of that,

1338
01:54:09.239 --> 01:54:16.319
I've not watched any of the other weddings, and I think,

1339
01:54:16.520 --> 01:54:25.119
really the way that they're being treated by the press,

1340
01:54:27.520 --> 01:54:31.039
and yeah, I just I just don't. I'm not. It's

1341
01:54:31.039 --> 01:54:36.439
almost like the if you read the newspapers so much

1342
01:54:36.479 --> 01:54:38.800
about the royal family and none of it interests me.

1343
01:54:39.960 --> 01:54:43.079
So yeah, it's not really if you're in this country

1344
01:54:43.239 --> 01:54:47.479
the royal families, either you really like them or you're

1345
01:54:47.479 --> 01:54:51.359
not bothered. I mean knows some people are anti, but

1346
01:54:51.439 --> 01:54:54.359
I'm not anti anything, really, not really. You know, I'm

1347
01:54:54.399 --> 01:54:59.319
not that interested in it to be against it, but yeah,

1348
01:54:59.439 --> 01:55:03.880
not really. He never really been that involved in the

1349
01:55:04.000 --> 01:55:07.560
royal family a mini Even the other day I was

1350
01:55:07.600 --> 01:55:10.600
in the hospital because I've been going up and down

1351
01:55:10.640 --> 01:55:14.159
for a month to the hospital to see mister Sausages,

1352
01:55:14.439 --> 01:55:17.720
and a couple of weeks ago, there was all these

1353
01:55:17.720 --> 01:55:23.439
police and security and cameras and stuff. I didn't realize

1354
01:55:23.520 --> 01:55:30.000
it was Prince Williams's wife was there. My stomach proper gurgling.

1355
01:55:31.239 --> 01:55:33.479
I didn't know she was there. I couldn't see her

1356
01:55:33.479 --> 01:55:37.399
because she was surrounded by police and camera people. It's

1357
01:55:37.479 --> 01:55:40.840
only when I left I was told, oh, yeah, Princess

1358
01:55:41.039 --> 01:55:49.000
of Wales was there. I thought, no. See this is how,

1359
01:55:52.319 --> 01:55:54.439
this is how my mind works, and it's very small

1360
01:55:54.479 --> 01:55:56.960
minded and it's very petty. There's only ever going to

1361
01:55:56.960 --> 01:56:02.439
be one Princess of Wales during my lifetime, and that

1362
01:56:02.600 --> 01:56:07.560
is Prince what's her name, Diana, And it's only ever

1363
01:56:07.600 --> 01:56:09.359
going to be one queen, and that's the Queen.

1364
01:56:10.119 --> 01:56:10.359
I know.

1365
01:56:10.399 --> 01:56:13.239
There's going to be other queens. There might, hopefully there'll

1366
01:56:13.239 --> 01:56:16.439
be another queen in my lifetime, if I'm lucky enough

1367
01:56:16.439 --> 01:56:28.000
to see Kate become queen. But to me, my queen

1368
01:56:28.319 --> 01:56:32.760
is the queen, you know, the proper queen that was

1369
01:56:32.760 --> 01:56:36.000
a queen for thousands of years or whatever, you know

1370
01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:39.920
that passed away three years ago. She was my queen

1371
01:56:39.960 --> 01:56:44.279
and Princess Diana was the only Prince of Wales, Princess

1372
01:56:44.279 --> 01:56:49.720
of Wales, and Prince Charles was the only only Prince

1373
01:56:49.720 --> 01:56:53.199
of Wales. It's weird, although you know, his son's now

1374
01:56:53.239 --> 01:56:56.840
Prince of Wales. So I don't really recognize that, don't

1375
01:56:57.600 --> 01:57:00.319
I don't not recognize it. It's just when I think

1376
01:57:00.359 --> 01:57:04.720
of the Princess of Wells, I think of Diana. I

1377
01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:07.800
can't help it. And I know that she hasn't been

1378
01:57:07.840 --> 01:57:11.680
around for twenty five years, but hey, no, nearly twenty

1379
01:57:11.680 --> 01:57:15.079
by only twenty eight years. I just that's just what

1380
01:57:15.199 --> 01:57:22.319
I remember. That's what part of my memory, because there

1381
01:57:22.319 --> 01:57:26.520
hasn't been a princessa Wells is there until more recently,

1382
01:57:26.840 --> 01:57:31.920
like I don't know whenever what's her name, Mary, Prince William.

1383
01:57:32.319 --> 01:57:36.600
So yeah, I don't like any of them. I don't

1384
01:57:36.640 --> 01:57:39.319
dislike them. Don't get me wrong. I've got no issue

1385
01:57:39.319 --> 01:57:42.600
with any of them. But I don't. I don't have

1386
01:57:42.680 --> 01:57:50.319
any kind of feelings about them. It just, yeah, it's

1387
01:57:50.359 --> 01:57:59.159
a different world. They have a different life to me.

1388
01:57:59.319 --> 01:58:02.079
I've never had been anywhere close to that kind of lifestyle,

1389
01:58:02.680 --> 01:58:06.239
and I don't understand it, and they don't understand my lifestyle.

1390
01:58:07.600 --> 01:58:13.079
Is Yeah, it's beyond understanding to be raised in a

1391
01:58:13.159 --> 01:58:18.920
palace and having everything done for you, never ever having

1392
01:58:18.960 --> 01:58:24.199
to be concerned about money, and you know, just those

1393
01:58:24.279 --> 01:58:28.319
kinds of things. But again, at the same time, I

1394
01:58:28.359 --> 01:58:33.760
don't have to be concerned about, you know, thinking where

1395
01:58:33.800 --> 01:58:34.279
am I going to?

1396
01:58:36.279 --> 01:58:36.319
What?

1397
01:58:38.560 --> 01:58:42.399
Where shall I go on holiday? And where shall I

1398
01:58:43.840 --> 01:58:46.960
what what kind of really expensive food shall I today,

1399
01:58:46.960 --> 01:58:51.960
because that's what they've got to worry about. H I

1400
01:58:52.039 --> 01:58:55.279
don't know what it would be like. I don't know,

1401
01:58:56.079 --> 01:59:03.239
so I don't really relate to it. That's a proper

1402
01:59:03.279 --> 01:59:12.199
gurglar tummy wow. But at the same time, I know

1403
01:59:12.359 --> 01:59:15.039
that the royal family is very popular in other countries,

1404
01:59:16.920 --> 01:59:26.119
but here it's not really It's like I don't know,

1405
01:59:26.319 --> 01:59:28.560
I don't get I mean, I'm not really in touch

1406
01:59:28.600 --> 01:59:33.920
with the common man woman, I guess because I'm so secluded,

1407
01:59:33.960 --> 01:59:37.600
so I probably I can't really talk on behalf of anyone.

1408
01:59:37.680 --> 01:59:42.680
But myself, I am aware that whenever it is a

1409
01:59:42.760 --> 01:59:47.600
raw function, the streets are full of people, you know,

1410
01:59:47.640 --> 01:59:51.800
whether it's a marriage, whether whatever, the you know, millions

1411
01:59:51.800 --> 01:59:55.159
of well hundreds of thousands of people pave the streets.

1412
01:59:56.279 --> 01:59:59.520
I also know it's in London, and a lot of

1413
01:59:59.520 --> 02:00:03.479
those people going to be tourists, so they're not all

1414
02:00:03.560 --> 02:00:06.239
going to be people from England that are kind of

1415
02:00:06.479 --> 02:00:11.640
you know, into the Royal family. So some people are

1416
02:00:11.640 --> 02:00:13.199
There's going to be some people that are absolutely a

1417
02:00:13.359 --> 02:00:17.680
daughter or family and have got nothing but royal memorabilia

1418
02:00:17.880 --> 02:00:22.680
around their house. And there's other people that are all

1419
02:00:22.720 --> 02:00:27.439
about our republic and they don't want royalty and all

1420
02:00:27.479 --> 02:00:31.920
that stuff. I'm not on either side. It is what

1421
02:00:31.960 --> 02:00:36.640
it is. It's here. I don't watch any of the

1422
02:00:36.800 --> 02:00:42.600
raw stuff on TV. Just don't. Yeah, it's not really something.

1423
02:00:43.800 --> 02:00:47.680
I did watch the coronation of the Coronation Street of

1424
02:00:49.600 --> 02:00:54.479
Prince Charles becoming King Charles. I watched that because it

1425
02:00:54.520 --> 02:00:59.359
was such an iconic moment and the chance of seeing

1426
02:01:00.119 --> 02:01:08.880
Harmonic being crowned. It's something that I'd never seen before live,

1427
02:01:09.439 --> 02:01:11.239
you know. I think they might be film footage of

1428
02:01:11.279 --> 02:01:14.960
the Queen being crowned in eighteen forty two whatever when

1429
02:01:15.079 --> 02:01:22.119
she was crowned, but it was, Yeah, it's an iconic moment,

1430
02:01:22.159 --> 02:01:27.920
so I watched that. So I quite like that. I

1431
02:01:27.920 --> 02:01:35.239
suppose if you'd have asked me this question twenty years

1432
02:01:35.279 --> 02:01:41.720
ago or fifteen years ago, my favorite roles would have

1433
02:01:41.840 --> 02:01:45.600
been William and Harry. So when they were young men,

1434
02:01:45.640 --> 02:01:51.479
when they were like in their twenties, Harry was a

1435
02:01:51.520 --> 02:01:55.600
funny lad. He was cheeky and he was getting up

1436
02:01:55.600 --> 02:01:59.560
to no good and you know, and William Owes came

1437
02:01:59.600 --> 02:02:02.359
across a nice Both of them came across as nice.

1438
02:02:03.880 --> 02:02:06.239
And then as they got older, they both went and

1439
02:02:06.279 --> 02:02:11.279
did a lot of stuff for charity. I think Harry

1440
02:02:11.319 --> 02:02:18.439
did the Invictor Games, William did a lot for mental

1441
02:02:18.439 --> 02:02:23.880
health charities. And it's I've always I think I've always

1442
02:02:23.880 --> 02:02:26.920
had a little bit of a soft spot for those kids.

1443
02:02:26.960 --> 02:02:30.079
Firstly because I saw them, remember seeing them being not

1444
02:02:30.159 --> 02:02:34.640
being born, but like on TV as little babies, and

1445
02:02:34.640 --> 02:02:40.119
there was their mother was Princess Diana, who was the

1446
02:02:40.119 --> 02:02:44.119
future kick, she was the future queen. Yeah, that's what

1447
02:02:44.359 --> 02:02:46.600
kind of was supposed to have happened, isn't it? The

1448
02:02:46.680 --> 02:02:53.760
future queen and the most famous royal out for all

1449
02:02:53.760 --> 02:03:02.760
of them. And then yeah, I kind of felt for

1450
02:03:02.800 --> 02:03:08.720
the kids. I felt for the two youngs, you know,

1451
02:03:08.800 --> 02:03:12.000
Harry and William, And as I sort of grow up,

1452
02:03:12.039 --> 02:03:18.359
I just thought, yeah, they're good lads. They're just they're

1453
02:03:18.399 --> 02:03:23.840
about ten years younger than me, I suppose, because what

1454
02:03:24.159 --> 02:03:28.199
maybe twelve years thirteen years is not a huge age difference,

1455
02:03:28.239 --> 02:03:30.600
but I think what they were born in the early

1456
02:03:30.600 --> 02:03:48.640
eighties weren't they. Yeah, so I'm thinking Princess Diana. But

1457
02:03:48.760 --> 02:03:53.920
out of who's around now, I suppose the King, the

1458
02:03:54.000 --> 02:03:58.600
King really is. He's the only one that i've that's

1459
02:03:58.680 --> 02:04:03.960
been there all time. Prince William, now Prince William, Prince

1460
02:04:04.039 --> 02:04:11.199
Charles and now King Charles. Everyone else, and you know,

1461
02:04:11.279 --> 02:04:14.039
Prince William and Prince Harry. They're the three that I

1462
02:04:14.159 --> 02:04:25.479
really that kind of stayed in the spotlight really, So

1463
02:04:25.479 --> 02:04:28.119
I suppose i'd probably say Harry and William would be

1464
02:04:28.159 --> 02:04:33.279
my favorite two favorites for different reasons. I think they're

1465
02:04:33.319 --> 02:04:39.840
both if you if you change a question to who

1466
02:04:39.840 --> 02:04:42.399
would I like to meet, so that if I said

1467
02:04:42.399 --> 02:04:44.000
the question was who would I like to meet? Out

1468
02:04:44.000 --> 02:04:46.600
of the royals, it would be the three you would be,

1469
02:04:46.640 --> 02:04:52.399
the King and his two sons. I'd quite like to

1470
02:04:52.399 --> 02:04:55.560
meet Fergie. I know technically she's probably not royalty anymore

1471
02:04:55.560 --> 02:04:59.199
because she divorced to Andrew, but I've seen her do

1472
02:04:59.319 --> 02:05:02.319
interviews and he comes across as a really nice person,

1473
02:05:04.560 --> 02:05:07.840
and she's done a lot for charities as well as

1474
02:05:08.680 --> 02:05:13.239
a lot of the royal family have, because you know,

1475
02:05:13.319 --> 02:05:19.520
just by getting that raal seal can boost a charity

1476
02:05:20.159 --> 02:05:24.439
and people fund and give donations to that charity because

1477
02:05:24.479 --> 02:05:26.880
it's got the raw seal, and it can be the

1478
02:05:26.920 --> 02:05:30.920
difference between them being around for a few years and

1479
02:05:30.960 --> 02:05:33.960
then running out of money and stuff and being around

1480
02:05:34.079 --> 02:05:40.239
for decades and decades and decades helping hundreds and thousands

1481
02:05:40.279 --> 02:05:48.800
of people. Kate, what was your favorite band musician during

1482
02:05:48.840 --> 02:05:51.520
your high school years? What did your friends listen to?

1483
02:05:51.760 --> 02:05:55.239
I realized that's two questions. I don't know what my

1484
02:05:55.319 --> 02:05:57.640
friends listened to because I took a notice of that,

1485
02:05:58.000 --> 02:06:00.800
so I can answer that one straight away. I didn't

1486
02:06:00.800 --> 02:06:03.479
care what anyone else did when I was a kid.

1487
02:06:04.159 --> 02:06:07.479
I knew what I liked and that was it. I'd

1488
02:06:07.520 --> 02:06:12.920
never listened to music with anyone else. And I used

1489
02:06:12.920 --> 02:06:17.439
to like to listen to Elvis music with my oldest brother,

1490
02:06:19.079 --> 02:06:21.760
but it wasn't current, you know, because he was gone

1491
02:06:21.800 --> 02:06:28.039
in seventy seven. So my childhood really music wise, i'd

1492
02:06:28.119 --> 02:06:35.319
say started around seventy nine and early eighties. And I

1493
02:06:35.359 --> 02:06:39.600
had no friends really to share that with, or at

1494
02:06:39.680 --> 02:06:41.720
least I might have had, but I didn't ask anyone.

1495
02:06:43.239 --> 02:06:46.680
I didn't. Yeah, but I loved Top of the Pops,

1496
02:06:46.760 --> 02:06:53.520
I loved, I loved pretty much most of the music

1497
02:06:53.560 --> 02:06:56.359
that was around in the early eighties. There were certain

1498
02:06:56.800 --> 02:06:59.159
certain songs that I loved more than others and some

1499
02:06:59.319 --> 02:07:02.199
that I didn't really cared too much about. But my

1500
02:07:02.439 --> 02:07:09.439
favorite singer was Shaken Stevens, my favorite singer. My favorite

1501
02:07:09.479 --> 02:07:20.239
bands back then, I can't remember. Did I have any

1502
02:07:20.239 --> 02:07:24.399
favorite bands? Wham, that's a band, wasn't it. That's a

1503
02:07:24.520 --> 02:07:33.039
Wham Wham? And one of my favorite bands Bross But

1504
02:07:33.159 --> 02:07:40.680
that was like late eighties. Yeah. Sticking to the eighties,

1505
02:07:42.199 --> 02:07:50.520
The Madness, I love Madness, Culture Club, I love Culture Club,

1506
02:07:52.840 --> 02:07:56.520
Poor Young as a singer, I love Poor Young, ub

1507
02:07:56.720 --> 02:08:07.119
forty do do do? What's this stand? And oliver your

1508
02:08:07.279 --> 02:08:13.319
money or your life? That that band, so Adam and

1509
02:08:13.359 --> 02:08:19.479
the Ants I did. Also, I noticed I quite like

1510
02:08:19.600 --> 02:08:21.560
some of the older stuff. So I love Buddy Holly.

1511
02:08:22.600 --> 02:08:26.359
So Buddy Holly, you know, I mean, he wasn't around

1512
02:08:27.319 --> 02:08:30.439
in the eighties, but I loved his songs. And the

1513
02:08:30.479 --> 02:08:34.600
Monkeys that's another band I absolutely adored. So I used

1514
02:08:34.600 --> 02:08:38.000
to listen to Buddy holly Greatest Hits and The Monkey's

1515
02:08:38.000 --> 02:08:45.319
Greatest Hits, possibly more than any other album during the eighties. Well,

1516
02:08:45.399 --> 02:08:51.600
during the middle early to middle eighties, late eighties. I mean,

1517
02:08:51.600 --> 02:08:55.479
I wasn't a child anymore technically, but the late eighties

1518
02:08:55.520 --> 02:09:03.439
have got much more into George Michael's solo career, Ross

1519
02:09:03.560 --> 02:09:07.760
Stevie Wonder sort middle eighties onwards. I fell I really

1520
02:09:07.800 --> 02:09:16.000
loved Stevie Wonder to discovered him. Michael Jackson. Wow. Yeah,

1521
02:09:16.319 --> 02:09:23.079
So in my early childhood I would have listened to

1522
02:09:23.119 --> 02:09:26.079
Michael Jackson, but not necessarily knew who he was.

1523
02:09:28.920 --> 02:09:29.399
In my.

1524
02:09:31.039 --> 02:09:36.439
Really by the time I got to about ten, like

1525
02:09:36.600 --> 02:09:39.800
nine ten, Michael Jackson was like when I was nine.

1526
02:09:40.159 --> 02:09:45.760
He was pretty much an adult at that point, and

1527
02:09:45.800 --> 02:09:49.399
he was doing sort of off the wall, can you

1528
02:09:49.520 --> 02:09:52.760
Feel It? Can You Feel It? You know, those kind

1529
02:09:52.760 --> 02:09:57.079
of songs, and it was I didn't really follow Michael Jackson.

1530
02:09:59.039 --> 02:10:05.399
And then of course he Thriller, which nobody pretty much

1531
02:10:05.560 --> 02:10:08.000
in the Western world would have not heard about because

1532
02:10:08.000 --> 02:10:15.680
it was just constant thriller, this thriller that, and I

1533
02:10:15.800 --> 02:10:17.840
liked it. I mean I remember what. I watched the

1534
02:10:17.920 --> 02:10:21.560
Thriller video on Channel four for the first time it

1535
02:10:21.680 --> 02:10:25.359
was ever shown on British TV. I was allowed to

1536
02:10:25.359 --> 02:10:28.880
start late to watch it, and yeah, I loved it,

1537
02:10:30.439 --> 02:10:35.159
but I got bored with the songs because they were overplayed.

1538
02:10:36.439 --> 02:10:38.600
It's like every time I turn a TV on, Michael

1539
02:10:38.680 --> 02:10:41.079
Jackson was singing and I've got a little I just

1540
02:10:41.079 --> 02:10:44.479
got a bit fed up with it. I don't want

1541
02:10:44.479 --> 02:10:48.279
to hear it no more, which is weird considering how

1542
02:10:48.760 --> 02:10:51.439
much of a big fan of came of this in

1543
02:10:53.880 --> 02:10:59.279
well eighty six because Bad was my favorite album, I

1544
02:10:59.359 --> 02:11:04.439
preferred Bad over Thriller for some reason, I don't know.

1545
02:11:06.800 --> 02:11:06.880
That.

1546
02:11:07.119 --> 02:11:10.159
Probably the most listened to album I've ever listened to

1547
02:11:10.239 --> 02:11:23.000
probably is Bad, Michael Jackson's Bad. And there's two songs

1548
02:11:23.039 --> 02:11:27.079
from the eighties that I really even today are two

1549
02:11:27.079 --> 02:11:32.199
of my favorite songs. One is Men Men at Work

1550
02:11:32.479 --> 02:11:36.920
down Under and Totally Clips at a Heart by Bonnie Tyler,

1551
02:11:38.279 --> 02:11:41.600
two of my favorite songs from the eighties from my childhood.

1552
02:11:42.560 --> 02:11:44.479
But then if you go back a little bit, Greece

1553
02:11:45.159 --> 02:11:48.720
loved Greece every song on the Grease album. Loved it.

1554
02:11:49.520 --> 02:11:57.600
Still do. So there was that period of time in

1555
02:11:57.640 --> 02:12:00.840
the eighties when I would have the radio and play

1556
02:12:00.920 --> 02:12:03.520
and wake me up in the morning ready for school,

1557
02:12:03.560 --> 02:12:08.000
and I'd be listening to it. And there's for me,

1558
02:12:08.079 --> 02:12:12.279
it was individual songs, not so because I didn't really

1559
02:12:12.319 --> 02:12:16.039
buy albums back then, I just listened on the radio,

1560
02:12:17.760 --> 02:12:24.640
so that meat Loaf and Share Addicted to Love. I

1561
02:12:24.640 --> 02:12:28.000
think it was called that one. That was my favorite song.

1562
02:12:28.800 --> 02:12:32.920
But then you know, mid ladies watched the Color of Money.

1563
02:12:33.239 --> 02:12:36.760
What's the color of Mourney? Some people thinking, and me,

1564
02:12:36.960 --> 02:12:41.960
you know, it'sird. That's one Hollywood beyond. I think that

1565
02:12:42.119 --> 02:12:46.600
was And I love that song. Just weird. Or you

1566
02:12:46.640 --> 02:12:49.319
don't have to take your clothes half to have a

1567
02:12:49.359 --> 02:12:53.079
good time. Oh no, I love that song. Are the

1568
02:12:53.159 --> 02:12:55.640
Wings of lou only the two of us to go

1569
02:12:55.880 --> 02:12:56.239
a flow?

1570
02:12:56.399 --> 02:12:56.600
You know?

1571
02:12:57.560 --> 02:13:00.760
Love that song? Like there was an individual songs, but

1572
02:13:00.800 --> 02:13:04.119
I'd never used to listen to their albums. First of all,

1573
02:13:04.119 --> 02:13:11.319
I didn't buy their albums. And so for me, when

1574
02:13:13.279 --> 02:13:16.960
now that's what I call music came out and it'd

1575
02:13:16.960 --> 02:13:20.119
be like the best hits of the year, or maybe

1576
02:13:20.119 --> 02:13:22.039
they'd do two a year, maybe three a year, so

1577
02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:25.399
just like break it down, I used to start buying

1578
02:13:25.439 --> 02:13:33.239
those tapes. And I liked that a lot, and I'd

1579
02:13:33.279 --> 02:13:39.279
really listen to it over and over again. And yeah,

1580
02:13:39.479 --> 02:13:43.840
that was again individual songs. I didn't care about the albums.

1581
02:13:43.920 --> 02:13:46.920
I didn't want to listen to the albums. I mean

1582
02:13:47.159 --> 02:13:51.279
I did have albums earlier on in my life. So

1583
02:13:51.439 --> 02:13:54.880
when I was like nine ten, I had albums. I

1584
02:13:54.920 --> 02:13:59.960
had the Beg's album I had I used to listen

1585
02:14:00.159 --> 02:14:06.399
to I had. I had Shaken Stevens albums, Shaken Stephens

1586
02:14:06.479 --> 02:14:17.399
in the sunsets, and I was sometimes listening to some

1587
02:14:17.520 --> 02:14:20.800
other albums that my dad had or that they both had,

1588
02:14:20.960 --> 02:14:31.319
which like music, film score music, so things like you know,

1589
02:14:32.239 --> 02:14:39.600
what's it called? The Spaghetti Westerns with what's his name?

1590
02:14:43.760 --> 02:14:46.079
The man were no name in the town, were no name?

1591
02:14:46.920 --> 02:14:51.960
How does it get male? What was it called? Good?

1592
02:14:52.039 --> 02:14:55.840
Bad and ugly and things like that, and then Star

1593
02:14:55.960 --> 02:15:00.279
Wars and Superman and those kind of scores of music

1594
02:15:00.439 --> 02:15:03.840
and ass just laid down and listened to that, and

1595
02:15:03.880 --> 02:15:07.439
it was lovely. He used to really relax me. And

1596
02:15:07.479 --> 02:15:09.680
this is before I moved up to the room upstairs

1597
02:15:09.720 --> 02:15:11.960
at the top of the house, so I must have

1598
02:15:12.039 --> 02:15:19.000
been around ten eleven back then. I'm trying to think

1599
02:15:19.039 --> 02:15:28.239
what else. Yes, I would say that in Shaken Stephens

1600
02:15:28.920 --> 02:15:36.000
number one, that was he was my favorite. And also incidentally,

1601
02:15:36.239 --> 02:15:42.760
Shaken Stephens was the number one recording artist you singer

1602
02:15:42.920 --> 02:15:46.479
not banned the number one recording artist in the UK

1603
02:15:47.520 --> 02:15:50.479
for had the whole of the eighties. No one sold

1604
02:15:50.479 --> 02:15:54.239
more records than him in the UK a UK artist,

1605
02:15:57.960 --> 02:16:03.199
so he he was the king of the eighties. Shaken

1606
02:16:03.239 --> 02:16:11.119
Stephens behind the Green Dole. There was a time when

1607
02:16:11.159 --> 02:16:16.760
I really loved listening to fifties music, fifties and sixties

1608
02:16:16.840 --> 02:16:22.039
like Rubber Boler and Bound to Back to You Who,

1609
02:16:23.119 --> 02:16:25.680
and some of that stuff that was from my dad's

1610
02:16:25.920 --> 02:16:29.640
that he had on these eight track tapes, really old

1611
02:16:29.680 --> 02:16:33.559
tapes that plug pushed them in, but they were good

1612
02:16:33.639 --> 02:16:38.840
quality sound and he had them from his childhood because

1613
02:16:39.040 --> 02:16:47.680
my dad was born forty six I think, no, yes,

1614
02:16:47.920 --> 02:16:52.959
nineteen forty six my dad was born, so his childhood

1615
02:16:53.000 --> 02:16:56.520
was really through the fifties when he was listening to music,

1616
02:16:58.000 --> 02:17:04.040
and then he was I guess he turned fifteen in

1617
02:17:04.319 --> 02:17:08.360
nineteen sixty one, so it was just like his late

1618
02:17:08.399 --> 02:17:17.200
teens and adult years, you know, in the sixties. So yeah,

1619
02:17:17.639 --> 02:17:19.719
I used to love listening to that, and I I

1620
02:17:19.879 --> 02:17:23.200
think when we went on holiday, we went to Wales,

1621
02:17:23.920 --> 02:17:27.079
long long journey, so us kids would be in the

1622
02:17:27.120 --> 02:17:30.120
back of the car, there'd be a trailer on the back.

1623
02:17:32.559 --> 02:17:35.399
My dad would be driving. I think they'd take turns

1624
02:17:35.479 --> 02:17:42.559
driving and he used to play these a lot of it.

1625
02:17:42.600 --> 02:17:45.600
They'd be a mixture of Beatles songs. That's a big

1626
02:17:45.639 --> 02:17:52.719
Beatles fan and like rock music. Gidget all aroun in

1627
02:17:53.319 --> 02:17:53.639
here on?

1628
02:17:53.760 --> 02:17:53.879
Now?

1629
02:17:53.920 --> 02:17:56.440
How are we that? One? A lot of songs like

1630
02:17:56.520 --> 02:18:04.719
that which were really good for driving to. I need

1631
02:18:04.760 --> 02:18:06.840
to ask him one day what those songs were, because

1632
02:18:06.959 --> 02:18:12.600
a lot of them I couldn't even tell you. Vinnie Snores,

1633
02:18:12.639 --> 02:18:15.600
did ever tell you that? Okay, so I feel I

1634
02:18:15.600 --> 02:18:21.239
covered that. Anne asks me, do you play any instruments?

1635
02:18:22.440 --> 02:18:29.559
The answer is no, there's not very long answer to

1636
02:18:29.600 --> 02:18:34.120
that one. I used to play. When I was in

1637
02:18:34.239 --> 02:18:39.239
junior school, I played the violin not very well. When

1638
02:18:39.479 --> 02:18:46.600
I was in high school, I played I was in

1639
02:18:46.600 --> 02:18:50.280
the Cecrets and I played the bugle not very well.

1640
02:18:52.040 --> 02:18:56.559
And then I played the drums in the Ciccretts not

1641
02:18:56.719 --> 02:19:00.000
very well. Then I played the glocking spill even worse

1642
02:19:00.079 --> 02:19:08.920
us and then I what else did I play? I'm

1643
02:19:08.920 --> 02:19:13.799
sure I played something else. That's enough, isn't it. I did.

1644
02:19:14.040 --> 02:19:19.280
I did learn kind of learned to play the guitar

1645
02:19:20.200 --> 02:19:26.159
in the mid nineties or ninety six ninety seven, not

1646
02:19:26.360 --> 02:19:30.479
very well. Again, but I did learn the chords and

1647
02:19:30.760 --> 02:19:33.719
I had this. Really I splashed out a little bit

1648
02:19:33.760 --> 02:19:37.760
on a nice guitar. It was I think I spent

1649
02:19:37.799 --> 02:19:40.440
like two hundred and fifty pounds on this guitar, so

1650
02:19:40.520 --> 02:19:42.639
it was a good quality. There was quite a lot

1651
02:19:42.639 --> 02:19:46.639
of money back then. There was good quality, and the

1652
02:19:46.760 --> 02:19:51.399
strings were good, the sound well. Basically, what I decided is,

1653
02:19:52.040 --> 02:19:56.600
if I'm going to sound a bit rubbish, then I

1654
02:19:56.680 --> 02:19:59.360
might as well do it on a nice guitar, because

1655
02:19:59.399 --> 02:20:01.879
even a rubb sound sounds better on a good guitar.

1656
02:20:04.319 --> 02:20:10.639
And I figured out that I wasn't motivated to get this,

1657
02:20:10.840 --> 02:20:14.879
get the sounds correct and get the chords right if

1658
02:20:15.680 --> 02:20:20.159
the guitar if the guitar sounded rubbish as well. So

1659
02:20:20.239 --> 02:20:22.559
I kind of got a decent guitar with a really

1660
02:20:22.680 --> 02:20:32.200
nice sound, good strings, good quality. So it was more

1661
02:20:32.319 --> 02:20:37.760
enjoyable listening to it, and it was easier to learn

1662
02:20:38.079 --> 02:20:43.600
to play it because the sound was nice. So when

1663
02:20:43.639 --> 02:20:48.600
I did manage to get the chords right, it sounded nice.

1664
02:20:51.319 --> 02:20:56.680
It might not have sounded correct, but it sounded nice.

1665
02:20:57.399 --> 02:21:01.680
But then I was sharing a flat This was like nine,

1666
02:21:01.760 --> 02:21:06.360
late ninety six, ninety seven, early ninety seven, and I

1667
02:21:06.440 --> 02:21:08.840
had this guitar, and my friend who was sharing a

1668
02:21:08.879 --> 02:21:14.040
flat with me, really didn't seem to enjoy my practicing.

1669
02:21:15.120 --> 02:21:16.920
And remember he said to me, all I can hear

1670
02:21:17.000 --> 02:21:19.200
is this, and it's.

1671
02:21:19.120 --> 02:21:21.600
Like do do do do do do do do do

02:21:44.479 --> 02:21:49.040
He said that all I hear all day long do

1684
02:21:53.639 --> 02:21:56.440
it's like, I said, I'm practicing. He said what for?

1685
02:21:59.120 --> 02:22:01.520
I had no answer for. That was like, why are

1686
02:22:01.559 --> 02:22:05.840
you practicing? Are you going to be in a band? No?

1687
02:22:06.959 --> 02:22:07.200
Are you?

1688
02:22:09.040 --> 02:22:12.159
He got Sophie. He said, do something else, play a

1689
02:22:12.239 --> 02:22:18.280
different song, a different tune. He really was. I was

1690
02:22:18.719 --> 02:22:23.719
annoying him a little bit. So I went into my bedroom,

1691
02:22:25.040 --> 02:22:31.680
and I decided I was going to play the same tune,

1692
02:22:32.520 --> 02:22:35.559
but just try and do it louder so he could

1693
02:22:35.799 --> 02:22:42.280
really enjoy it. I tried. I tried the mouthforkan. So

1694
02:22:42.399 --> 02:22:44.399
when I was working as a security gul, I thought,

1695
02:22:44.559 --> 02:22:49.159
you know what, I can learn a new instrument. Malthforkan's small.

1696
02:22:51.920 --> 02:22:56.200
I've literally got twelve hours in a night to just practice,

1697
02:22:57.079 --> 02:23:01.719
so maybe I could be quite good at this. But

1698
02:23:01.840 --> 02:23:04.000
I realized once I started that I didn't like it.

1699
02:23:06.799 --> 02:23:12.239
Zia never bothered. I kind of gave it up. And

1700
02:23:12.440 --> 02:23:16.840
then a few years ago, quite a few probably six

1701
02:23:17.399 --> 02:23:21.399
seven years ago, I bought a ukulele. Still in my cupboard,

1702
02:23:21.680 --> 02:23:24.879
still in the same box that I bought it. I've

1703
02:23:24.920 --> 02:23:32.600
had it out about three times. It's still in there,

1704
02:23:33.760 --> 02:23:37.399
and maybe one day you might mate. You might not

1705
02:23:37.520 --> 02:23:40.239
believe me. Perhaps one day, maybe the next recording I do,

1706
02:23:40.920 --> 02:23:43.680
I'll get my ukulele out and I'll play it for you.

1707
02:23:44.719 --> 02:23:46.399
When I say I play it for you, I don't

1708
02:23:46.440 --> 02:23:51.600
know how to play it. I never learned. I think

1709
02:23:51.639 --> 02:24:01.440
i'd need lessons I did. My stepmom did teach me

1710
02:24:01.520 --> 02:24:05.280
a bit of piano, like chopsticks, you know, stuff like that,

1711
02:24:05.959 --> 02:24:08.440
but she did because she was I think she had

1712
02:24:08.440 --> 02:24:12.000
an a level in piano. She's very good, and she

1713
02:24:12.159 --> 02:24:15.719
taught me the basics. And at the time I could

1714
02:24:15.840 --> 02:24:21.000
read music because I've been playing the violin, so I

1715
02:24:21.079 --> 02:24:23.200
knew how to read music. So it was quite easy

1716
02:24:23.879 --> 02:24:28.280
to know where the keys were. In a sense now

1717
02:24:28.360 --> 02:24:33.319
I don't know because I've not read music for quite

1718
02:24:33.440 --> 02:24:38.840
some time. But back then, you know, it's quite easy,

1719
02:24:38.920 --> 02:24:41.559
but it's very difficult because in a sense of my

1720
02:24:41.760 --> 02:24:47.399
hands running little, the keyboard or the piano keys were

1721
02:24:47.520 --> 02:24:51.159
quite large. It wasn't like a it was one of

1722
02:24:51.239 --> 02:24:54.719
those pianos that you put against the wall. It was

1723
02:24:54.760 --> 02:24:59.319
like a proper old fashioned piano, but it wasn't. It wasn't,

1724
02:24:59.520 --> 02:25:04.239
you know, like a huge piano. But there was a

1725
02:25:04.319 --> 02:25:06.920
certain amount of strength you needed to press down and

1726
02:25:08.000 --> 02:25:09.479
I just wasn't used to that. So it was a

1727
02:25:09.520 --> 02:25:13.200
little bit different because I was probably ten at the time,

1728
02:25:13.760 --> 02:25:16.200
so it was very different. But I did like it,

1729
02:25:16.959 --> 02:25:23.079
but not enough to really get involved, which is a

1730
02:25:23.200 --> 02:25:24.159
shame because.

1731
02:25:25.399 --> 02:25:25.639
I do.

1732
02:25:26.440 --> 02:25:29.639
I do think to having a skill like that, being

1733
02:25:29.639 --> 02:25:35.360
able to play a musical instrument is such an amazing

1734
02:25:35.440 --> 02:25:40.760
skill to have, and bearing in mind I've played multiple

1735
02:25:40.920 --> 02:25:45.040
musical instruments over the years, not for a long time,

1736
02:25:47.239 --> 02:25:51.360
but I kind of had the opportunity. If I was

1737
02:25:51.399 --> 02:25:56.159
stuck at the violin, I could have been I could

1738
02:25:56.200 --> 02:25:59.399
have ended up being really good at it. I did

1739
02:25:59.399 --> 02:26:06.879
it for about a year. I was adequate, but a

1740
02:26:07.000 --> 02:26:09.000
year maybe a year. Yeah, I did it for a while,

1741
02:26:09.840 --> 02:26:15.399
but maybe I could have been really good. But I quit.

1742
02:26:15.959 --> 02:26:19.200
Like many things, I stopped doing it because I didn't

1743
02:26:19.840 --> 02:26:21.920
I don't know why. I didn't like it anymore, but

1744
02:26:22.000 --> 02:26:26.000
I was having lessons unlike the dramas or a bugle

1745
02:26:26.120 --> 02:26:30.719
or whatever. I actually went to lessons I think twice

1746
02:26:30.760 --> 02:26:36.280
a week at junior school for the violin, and we

1747
02:26:36.440 --> 02:26:37.920
did concerts and stuff like that.

1748
02:26:38.399 --> 02:26:38.559
You know.

1749
02:26:38.840 --> 02:26:42.639
So there's one one time I was on stage with

1750
02:26:42.840 --> 02:26:46.520
one other person playing the violin. My parents were watching,

1751
02:26:47.680 --> 02:26:51.120
and that was a bit nerve wracking because the orchestra

1752
02:26:51.319 --> 02:26:57.600
were all doing it together. Then suddenly it's almost harder

1753
02:26:57.680 --> 02:26:59.520
to do with someone than you still it on your own,

1754
02:26:59.600 --> 02:27:02.360
I found, because if I did it on my own,

1755
02:27:04.360 --> 02:27:07.639
it would just sound how it sounds. But to do

1756
02:27:07.719 --> 02:27:13.000
it with someone else, it's to have to be in sync.

1757
02:27:15.280 --> 02:27:17.959
We did it. I don't know how bad or good

1758
02:27:18.000 --> 02:27:20.479
it was. I got no idea, but we managed to

1759
02:27:20.559 --> 02:27:26.760
do it. That is one thing that I wish I

1760
02:27:26.920 --> 02:27:32.559
kind of stuck at because I think I might have been.

1761
02:27:32.799 --> 02:27:35.319
I had quite a good ear for music, quite a

1762
02:27:35.319 --> 02:27:42.879
good ear for tone, and potentially I could have been

1763
02:27:42.959 --> 02:27:48.200
quite good. Yeah, So I think if I was if

1764
02:27:48.200 --> 02:27:50.840
I was going to start, which which musical instrument would

1765
02:27:50.840 --> 02:27:53.280
I have stuck with? If I could kind of go

1766
02:27:53.440 --> 02:27:57.040
back and do that, the violin would be the one.

1767
02:27:58.639 --> 02:28:02.520
The bugle was living did I found. I learned the

1768
02:28:02.600 --> 02:28:07.840
vihgle and it was just easy, and the glocking spill

1769
02:28:08.559 --> 02:28:12.719
difficult but doable. But it's very kind of lots of

1770
02:28:12.760 --> 02:28:20.159
different keys and remember which goes where. The drums probably

1771
02:28:20.239 --> 02:28:23.200
more enjoyable because I got to hit things, do.

1772
02:28:23.280 --> 02:28:27.120
A little little little do a little little do a little,

1773
02:28:27.159 --> 02:28:29.399
little little little, a little.

1774
02:28:32.799 --> 02:28:35.440
I just I enjoyed it, But at the same time

1775
02:28:35.520 --> 02:28:37.360
it was a lot of hassle because big it was

1776
02:28:37.399 --> 02:28:40.120
as big as me a drum. I was like walking

1777
02:28:40.159 --> 02:28:43.600
around with his fingers really heavy, because I was said,

1778
02:28:43.639 --> 02:28:48.719
I was like ten to eleven big old things. So

1779
02:28:51.799 --> 02:28:54.959
I would have preferred if I was going to choose

1780
02:28:55.040 --> 02:28:57.360
two instruments that I would have been good at that

1781
02:28:57.479 --> 02:29:00.600
if I you know, if I could choose two instruments

1782
02:29:00.639 --> 02:29:03.639
to be good at, it would be the guitar or

1783
02:29:03.680 --> 02:29:09.760
the piano. I've had multiple keyboards over the years. I

1784
02:29:09.879 --> 02:29:12.760
once bought a piano back in two thousand and four,

1785
02:29:12.920 --> 02:29:15.559
bought it and sold it than this in about three

1786
02:29:15.639 --> 02:29:19.440
days back to the same person, and lost about one

1787
02:29:19.520 --> 02:29:29.000
hundred quid. And yeah, it's one of those moments of silliness.

1788
02:29:33.719 --> 02:29:36.719
But I liked just have this idea of like being

1789
02:29:36.840 --> 02:29:38.920
good at something. I think that's what it was. I

1790
02:29:38.959 --> 02:29:41.079
wanted to be good at something, but I never found

1791
02:29:41.159 --> 02:29:46.200
anything that I was if I wasn't interested enough in

1792
02:29:46.360 --> 02:29:51.319
it to progress to a point of being any good,

1793
02:29:52.079 --> 02:29:56.760
or I just wasn't very good at it. You know.

1794
02:29:57.120 --> 02:30:01.840
It's I'd love to being a good breakdancer or a

1795
02:30:01.959 --> 02:30:08.159
brilliant breakdancer. I'm not a dancer. There's certain things that

1796
02:30:08.200 --> 02:30:09.120
are just that's not me.

1797
02:30:09.319 --> 02:30:10.040
It wasn't.

1798
02:30:12.399 --> 02:30:12.600
You know.

1799
02:30:12.760 --> 02:30:14.600
It's kind of like it'd be good to be a

1800
02:30:14.719 --> 02:30:19.479
basketball player, but that would be I mean, I'm not

1801
02:30:19.559 --> 02:30:22.239
saying it wouldn't be impossible, but it would be very difficult.

1802
02:30:22.920 --> 02:30:25.920
At five for eight to become a basketball player where

1803
02:30:26.000 --> 02:30:30.559
most of them are like six five plus, you know,

1804
02:30:30.760 --> 02:30:40.200
there's a big advantage. So yeah, I think basketball was

1805
02:30:40.239 --> 02:30:43.840
the only sport that I thought was quite cool because

1806
02:30:43.920 --> 02:30:47.040
you know, chucking at getting a ball in a basket

1807
02:30:47.280 --> 02:30:49.680
or a hoop, that was quite fun if there was

1808
02:30:49.719 --> 02:30:52.399
no one else around. So I quite enjoyed doing that,

1809
02:30:52.600 --> 02:30:54.879
you know, from a distance and just trying to get

1810
02:30:54.920 --> 02:30:56.760
the ball in. And I could spend hours doing that,

1811
02:30:57.479 --> 02:30:59.360
but not if other people were around. I didn't want

1812
02:30:59.360 --> 02:31:02.200
anyone getting an way I'll try to get the ball

1813
02:31:02.239 --> 02:31:06.840
off me. That just took the fun out of it

1814
02:31:07.159 --> 02:31:14.680
for me. So yeah, in short, really no, I don't

1815
02:31:14.799 --> 02:31:19.440
play any instruments, but and I never will now. I

1816
02:31:19.559 --> 02:31:23.959
think those days are gone. I don't have any interest

1817
02:31:24.040 --> 02:31:30.159
in playing instruments now, but I very much admire people

1818
02:31:30.239 --> 02:31:39.479
that can. Yeah, I do. So I suppose the thing

1819
02:31:39.559 --> 02:31:42.280
I was best out of all the instruments that I

1820
02:31:42.360 --> 02:31:46.000
did play probably would have been the violin, because that's

1821
02:31:46.040 --> 02:31:50.319
the one that I practiced the most, and I also

1822
02:31:52.440 --> 02:31:56.600
my family home enjoyed it listening to it, to the screeching.

1823
02:31:57.280 --> 02:31:59.280
But that is the one I practiced most, and it's

1824
02:31:59.280 --> 02:32:08.319
the one I was actually having musical lessons for anyway

1825
02:32:08.639 --> 02:32:11.120
that seems to bring us to the end of this recording,

1826
02:32:11.840 --> 02:32:14.040
and I'm going to go and get myself something to eat.

1827
02:32:16.399 --> 02:32:18.639
I hope I've answered you questions. I know there's been

1828
02:32:18.680 --> 02:32:22.520
a few. I probably got off the subject a little

1829
02:32:22.559 --> 02:32:26.600
bit every now and then. Apologies. I apologizes, my friends,

1830
02:32:28.040 --> 02:32:31.680
but thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself,

1831
02:32:33.959 --> 02:32:37.959
because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle

1832
02:32:38.040 --> 02:32:44.040
with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots of love.

1833
02:32:46.559 --> 02:32:46.799
Bye.

1834
02:32:52.959 --> 02:33:07.440
Relax in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in

1835
02:33:07.559 --> 02:33:13.079
a way that can not just allow you to feel

1836
02:33:14.520 --> 02:33:23.600
calmer now and throughout the time we spend together here,

1837
02:33:25.760 --> 02:33:31.440
not just relaxed at the end of the recording when

1838
02:33:31.479 --> 02:33:38.120
it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort

1839
02:33:38.319 --> 02:33:53.200
and peace, but also I think it would be nice

1840
02:33:53.319 --> 02:34:13.079
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after

1841
02:34:13.200 --> 02:34:23.760
the recording has ended, so that you can still benefit

1842
02:34:26.680 --> 02:34:33.920
from listening to my voice, maybe in a few hours time,

1843
02:34:35.840 --> 02:34:49.280
perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially if you

1844
02:34:49.520 --> 02:34:53.719
find like some people do and myself as well. I

1845
02:34:54.319 --> 02:35:01.040
sometimes I find one particular recording that really resonates with me,

1846
02:35:05.399 --> 02:35:07.760
and I just listened to it over and over again

1847
02:35:10.040 --> 02:35:23.040
every morning, every evening. There was this recording from We're

1848
02:35:23.120 --> 02:35:28.799
going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis,

1849
02:35:28.920 --> 02:35:34.200
but it was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,

1850
02:35:36.719 --> 02:35:41.840
and I managed to find it again and it still

1851
02:35:42.000 --> 02:35:47.399
has the same effect on me. And part of it

1852
02:35:47.719 --> 02:36:02.440
was the person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful,

1853
02:36:04.600 --> 02:36:11.000
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

1854
02:36:11.159 --> 02:36:21.799
morning and in the evening, and I knew before even

1855
02:36:22.600 --> 02:36:29.559
pressing the play button that as soon as I've done

1856
02:36:29.639 --> 02:36:34.079
that pressed the play button. This was in the days

1857
02:36:34.120 --> 02:36:48.239
of CD players pressed the play button. In fact, it

1858
02:36:48.319 --> 02:36:52.399
might have even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie

1859
02:36:52.520 --> 02:37:03.639
down on the bed and then even without necessarily listening

1860
02:37:05.360 --> 02:37:18.559
to her words because I had them memorized. Really, it

1861
02:37:18.719 --> 02:37:24.360
was as if my body knew exactly what to do,

1862
02:37:29.280 --> 02:37:50.959
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and

1863
02:37:51.239 --> 02:37:56.239
I remember my mind would slow down.

1864
02:38:01.920 --> 02:38:02.079
Now.

1865
02:38:04.280 --> 02:38:10.959
Now, I was listening to this recording in the early

1866
02:38:11.079 --> 02:38:18.879
days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made

1867
02:38:19.479 --> 02:38:26.760
any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start

1868
02:38:26.840 --> 02:38:40.559
doing that till two thousand and six. I knew, I

1869
02:38:40.719 --> 02:38:54.120
knew how helpful I found being able to just let go,

1870
02:38:57.239 --> 02:39:02.559
to have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

1871
02:39:10.280 --> 02:39:18.360
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if

1872
02:39:18.440 --> 02:39:27.799
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you

1873
02:39:27.920 --> 02:39:39.479
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

1874
02:39:39.639 --> 02:39:53.440
me for over a decade. Maybe not solidly, obviously not

1875
02:39:53.559 --> 02:39:59.799
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

1876
02:40:01.719 --> 02:40:15.360
Some people may be listen every day. That's something that.

1877
02:40:15.479 --> 02:40:16.879
I do.

1878
02:40:18.719 --> 02:40:33.120
Which you may not realize by listening, is when I

1879
02:40:33.479 --> 02:40:49.559
record these recordings. Now, for example, I also am affected

1880
02:40:50.120 --> 02:41:02.920
by the words that I say. So if I set

1881
02:41:03.120 --> 02:41:13.559
you focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing, I

1882
02:41:13.680 --> 02:41:22.120
would be focusing on my feet. I will be noticing

1883
02:41:25.120 --> 02:41:39.600
my feet relaxing. If I said focus on your hands,

1884
02:41:42.399 --> 02:41:51.920
then maybe notice the difference between each hand. Perhaps notice

1885
02:41:52.040 --> 02:41:58.079
the air in the room, the temperature of the room.

1886
02:42:00.079 --> 02:42:10.360
On the backs of your hands. You may start to

1887
02:42:10.959 --> 02:42:19.000
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even

1888
02:42:19.079 --> 02:42:23.239
though there may not be any type of breeze at

1889
02:42:23.360 --> 02:42:36.280
all where you are right now. And as you become

1890
02:42:36.959 --> 02:42:51.319
aware of your hands. I'm also aware of how relaxed

1891
02:42:51.680 --> 02:43:15.399
my hands are feeling now and when it comes to

1892
02:43:16.959 --> 02:43:22.959
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason

1893
02:43:23.319 --> 02:43:39.520
you're listening. I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.

1894
02:43:44.239 --> 02:44:02.920
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, times I've

1895
02:44:02.959 --> 02:44:17.399
actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I carry

1896
02:44:17.440 --> 02:44:28.600
on talking. And it's only when I listen back to

1897
02:44:29.040 --> 02:44:38.000
do the editing I hear snoring and I think, I

1898
02:44:38.079 --> 02:44:48.799
don't remember snoring. I remember talking. There's snoring was a

1899
02:44:48.920 --> 02:44:55.159
pick turned up. That's why I sound like when I

1900
02:44:55.319 --> 02:45:05.959
snare h how I get read into a whole experience.

1901
02:45:13.920 --> 02:45:23.360
I don't know how you feel, how relaxed you feel

1902
02:45:23.440 --> 02:45:34.000
in your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands.

1903
02:45:49.079 --> 02:46:01.280
I have noticed more and more that's the more relaxed,

1904
02:46:03.079 --> 02:46:18.840
deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.

1905
02:46:25.440 --> 02:46:42.079
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows

1906
02:46:42.159 --> 02:47:13.239
you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing on your breath. However,

1907
02:47:13.520 --> 02:47:42.239
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

1908
02:47:42.479 --> 02:48:32.239
so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smoothly whenever

1909
02:48:32.440 --> 02:48:50.760
I imagine my breathing improving. When I've got my eyes closed,

1910
02:48:56.760 --> 02:49:09.639
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

1911
02:49:09.920 --> 02:49:43.280
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. And it feels

1912
02:49:43.559 --> 02:50:05.319
nice too, if nothing else, just taking some time away

1913
02:50:10.040 --> 02:50:53.319
from everything, enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity with a

1914
02:50:53.680 --> 02:51:45.559
joyful heart. Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

1915
02:51:51.479 --> 02:52:30.639
so deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

1916
02:52:30.799 --> 02:53:35.159
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.

1917
02:53:43.479 --> 02:54:30.159
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

1918
02:54:30.440 --> 02:54:46.520
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to drip

1919
02:54:47.280 --> 02:55:00.639
out of your body, to appear out of every part

1920
02:55:07.040 --> 02:55:31.760
of your body, and being released from your brain your

1921
02:55:31.959 --> 02:56:07.280
mind slowly but surely. The muscles in you les.

1922
02:56:22.479 --> 02:56:53.040
Relax res res so very deeply, relax.

1923
02:56:57.639 --> 02:57:22.520
So deeply h h. And the feelings, the pleasant feelings

1924
02:57:22.680 --> 02:57:46.920
in your arms and shoulders, deepening each part of your

1925
02:57:47.040 --> 02:58:28.920
body further and deeper and deeper. Noticine, the feelings in

1926
02:58:29.000 --> 02:58:55.319
the back of your neck, the feelings in your wrists,

1927
02:59:28.440 --> 03:00:08.280
muscles in front of your body, I will say, feeling peaceful, deep,

1928
03:00:25.440 --> 03:00:35.760
there's a sense of peace spreads through your very core.

1929
03:01:06.280 --> 03:01:26.159
Even when you focus on your mind. Her mind becomes

1930
03:01:33.520 --> 03:03:11.280
be and slowerven, deeper, relaxing, so very slow, stomach peacefull

1931
03:03:11.440 --> 03:03:57.959
in your stomach, hold back. Notice, Notice how relaxed you

1932
03:03:58.360 --> 03:04:36.639
now feel in the hall of your back. You spy

1933
03:04:40.799 --> 03:04:45.479
from your brain all the way down the middle of

1934
03:04:45.559 --> 03:04:57.239
your back, sending and receiving millions of messages every day.

1935
03:05:08.319 --> 03:06:27.479
Deep comfort, increase in deeply relaxed. Your knees, relax spreading

1936
03:06:27.680 --> 03:06:36.760
those signals down your spine or cord into air, every

1937
03:06:37.079 --> 03:06:55.760
part of your body, your shins and your calf muscles,

1938
03:07:23.040 --> 03:07:52.479
your elbows. Feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your body,

1939
03:07:57.520 --> 03:08:13.799
tips of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers, all

1940
03:08:13.799 --> 03:08:31.120
the way till you know it. Back, letting her reating

1941
03:08:31.280 --> 03:09:30.280
he pace to drift in mind, just wander in a way,

1942
03:09:39.799 --> 03:10:21.399
happy to let go. Let go completely, Let go, said tranquil.

1943
03:10:45.600 --> 03:12:31.920
The whole body enjoying a sensor listening God, hey, norey,

1944
03:13:06.680 --> 03:13:48.719
enjoying the space, this space of peace and safety, sur

1945
03:13:49.280 --> 03:15:47.680
very relaxed us you letting go. Maybe we can just

1946
03:15:50.600 --> 03:15:59.760
focus on the different parts of your body, just to night,

1947
03:16:26.200 --> 03:17:28.760
you foolhead, and't your eyes uptub so loose, noticing a

1948
03:17:29.000 --> 03:19:37.280
sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, day, peace, fall, energy, pace,

1949
03:19:37.920 --> 03:20:26.799
to breathe so much ease, yeah, lose.

1950
03:20:48.120 --> 03:20:48.799
You may.

1951
03:20:52.639 --> 03:21:52.520
Or may not have noticed your mind drifting peaceful, were

1952
03:21:53.000 --> 03:22:12.840
any even more deeply in the direction of total blissful

1953
03:22:13.200 --> 03:23:37.799
pace blisphor pace directing two days.

1954
03:24:02.159 --> 03:24:21.559
Come, so Colm, let him go.

Peace with mind, relaxed, body, so relaxed, so relaxed, a

1956
03:25:57.600 --> 03:26:30.559
body feels almost invisible. So the very relaxed paceful so.

1957
03:26:38.280 --> 03:26:38.840
Pace on.

1958
03:27:02.239 --> 03:27:43.760
Leo, and you could start to notice that you are

1959
03:27:44.000 --> 03:27:55.479
feeling more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your

1960
03:27:55.680 --> 03:28:03.440
mind upon that. Sen that's a physical comfort that is

1961
03:28:03.680 --> 03:28:12.920
growing within you throughout your body, and your mind starts

1962
03:28:13.000 --> 03:28:22.559
to slow down. And that could be almost in recognition

1963
03:28:23.159 --> 03:28:37.000
of I guess my speech not being particularly fast, and

1964
03:28:37.200 --> 03:28:48.040
things just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice,

1965
03:28:51.120 --> 03:28:58.079
you give yourself an opportunity to take a break from

1966
03:28:58.159 --> 03:29:04.639
the day, take a break from your life as it is,

1967
03:29:08.079 --> 03:29:15.680
and to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to

1968
03:29:15.799 --> 03:29:21.040
take some time off and to allow your body to

1969
03:29:21.200 --> 03:29:30.879
relax and allow your mind to slow down, which in

1970
03:29:31.079 --> 03:29:38.840
turn releases the tension and it stresses that you had

1971
03:29:38.920 --> 03:29:48.639
in your body. It's almost as if the parts of

1972
03:29:48.719 --> 03:30:00.639
your body just open up, allowing the negativity out and

1973
03:30:00.799 --> 03:30:09.200
at the same time replacing that negativity with positive healing energy,

1974
03:30:12.319 --> 03:30:16.879
which then fills your body up and your mind to

1975
03:30:18.559 --> 03:30:36.959
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an

1976
03:30:37.000 --> 03:30:54.120
almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through

1977
03:30:54.200 --> 03:31:04.840
your body like a wave of comfort. And all this

1978
03:31:05.200 --> 03:31:17.239
comes from just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half

1979
03:31:17.319 --> 03:31:21.159
an hour, however long you want it to be, to

1980
03:31:21.479 --> 03:31:35.280
just rest and allow your mind and your body to

1981
03:31:35.440 --> 03:31:52.000
almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

1982
03:31:56.319 --> 03:32:05.639
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness

1983
03:32:09.680 --> 03:32:18.520
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

1984
03:32:19.319 --> 03:32:23.879
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,

1985
03:32:28.159 --> 03:32:37.879
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness.

1986
03:32:42.920 --> 03:32:50.399
And it feels nice, really does feel nice to know

1987
03:32:50.680 --> 03:32:59.520
that you are the one that has allowed yourself to

1988
03:32:59.719 --> 03:33:08.879
feel feel more comfort and to experience.

1989
03:33:10.600 --> 03:33:11.719
More of this.

1990
03:33:13.520 --> 03:33:28.680
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1991
03:33:30.239 --> 03:33:36.000
on each part of your body. You can notice that

1992
03:33:36.239 --> 03:33:50.760
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1993
03:33:53.280 --> 03:34:02.920
It becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.

1994
03:34:06.959 --> 03:34:12.719
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1995
03:34:15.479 --> 03:34:20.719
the parts that you have already focused on will continue

1996
03:34:22.120 --> 03:34:29.200
to relax deeply, and those parts that have not yet

1997
03:34:29.399 --> 03:34:42.280
focused on or just automatically release any remain intention in

1998
03:34:42.440 --> 03:34:56.680
anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm

1999
03:34:56.719 --> 03:35:03.159
going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being

2000
03:35:03.319 --> 03:35:11.959
aware of the feelings of your forehead and any background

2001
03:35:12.239 --> 03:35:19.360
sounds like mister Herbert Opigeon can just allow you to

2002
03:35:19.520 --> 03:35:26.760
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

2003
03:35:29.920 --> 03:35:35.280
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

2004
03:35:38.719 --> 03:35:44.760
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

2005
03:35:45.280 --> 03:35:55.760
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

2006
03:35:56.040 --> 03:36:01.280
notice how it becomes even more relax act as your

2007
03:36:03.319 --> 03:36:10.600
focus only on my voice and that part of your body.

2008
03:36:15.799 --> 03:36:24.079
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

2009
03:36:26.559 --> 03:36:36.239
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

2010
03:36:36.280 --> 03:36:42.719
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

2011
03:36:43.000 --> 03:36:57.399
relaxing completely moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

2012
03:36:57.879 --> 03:37:12.040
your tongue, your teeth. You comes the whole of your mouth, relaxing, calm.

2013
03:37:13.200 --> 03:37:13.760
And lease.

2014
03:37:18.200 --> 03:37:26.000
As you focus now on your jaw, not just the

2015
03:37:26.159 --> 03:37:29.639
parts of your jaw near your mouth and your chin,

2016
03:37:30.920 --> 03:37:34.000
but all the way up the size of your face

2017
03:37:35.200 --> 03:37:49.799
to your ears, the hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed.

2018
03:37:53.120 --> 03:37:54.000
And calm.

2019
03:38:02.239 --> 03:38:11.280
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck, and

2020
03:38:11.399 --> 03:38:12.399
your throat.

2021
03:38:14.280 --> 03:38:15.680
Relaxing and.

2022
03:38:17.159 --> 03:38:27.879
Loose and calm. The sides of your neck, right and

2023
03:38:28.079 --> 03:38:40.680
left side of your neck relax and lease and calm.

2024
03:38:47.079 --> 03:38:53.760
And now the back of your neck, focusing on the

2025
03:38:54.000 --> 03:39:04.440
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

2026
03:39:04.639 --> 03:39:13.479
may have been there before, and enjoying that sense of

2027
03:39:14.520 --> 03:39:25.159
increasing comfort and release. Then you can experience in the

2028
03:39:25.319 --> 03:39:37.520
back of your neck, moving down your back and moving

2029
03:39:37.799 --> 03:39:42.120
either side of your spine right from the top of

2030
03:39:42.239 --> 03:39:42.959
your back.

2031
03:39:44.719 --> 03:39:45.920
All the way.

2032
03:39:45.959 --> 03:39:58.639
Down to the bottom of your back, down to your

2033
03:39:58.719 --> 03:40:09.280
lower back. As you move up and down your spine,

2034
03:40:11.399 --> 03:40:15.840
you can feel the muscles either side of your spine

2035
03:40:18.040 --> 03:40:32.600
relaxing even more, and as those muscles relax that sense

2036
03:40:32.719 --> 03:40:43.200
of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into

2037
03:40:43.399 --> 03:40:50.000
both sides of your back, the top of your back,

2038
03:40:50.879 --> 03:40:57.120
the middle end your lower back. And as you scan

2039
03:40:58.840 --> 03:41:06.639
gently and slowly up and down your back, there's the

2040
03:41:06.799 --> 03:41:12.639
muscles in the top of your back relax and become looser.

2041
03:41:17.000 --> 03:41:23.000
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

2042
03:41:23.120 --> 03:41:32.600
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting.

2043
03:41:38.399 --> 03:41:44.360
And in your lower back there seems to be an

2044
03:41:44.440 --> 03:41:58.639
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips.

2045
03:42:00.920 --> 03:42:08.760
Sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

2046
03:42:08.959 --> 03:42:17.719
area where your cosix are, and into your buttocks, and

2047
03:42:17.799 --> 03:42:27.000
all those muscles that spread bring your lower back into

2048
03:42:27.079 --> 03:42:40.559
your hip area start to melt, start to really let go,

2049
03:42:47.280 --> 03:42:54.000
and even nowhere about to focus on your shoulders. Your

2050
03:42:54.200 --> 03:43:04.879
back and your spine will continue till I go, continue

2051
03:43:05.680 --> 03:43:20.559
to relax so calmly, and then she focus on your shoulders.

2052
03:43:22.360 --> 03:43:38.440
You may notice they're already feeling really loose, They're already

2053
03:43:41.479 --> 03:44:03.840
feeding calm, and I feeling those must source. The move

2054
03:44:04.200 --> 03:44:20.040
from your neck into your shoulders feels so soft and gentle,

2055
03:44:24.159 --> 03:44:45.760
so smooth and calm, and the feeling in your shoulders

2056
03:44:53.079 --> 03:45:01.559
seems to spread deep into your shoulders. That's sense of relaxation,

2057
03:45:02.799 --> 03:45:14.280
not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing

2058
03:45:17.159 --> 03:45:27.040
the bones and moving all the way to underneath your arms,

2059
03:45:29.879 --> 03:45:35.799
relaxing a whole area between the tops of your shoulders

2060
03:45:37.159 --> 03:45:54.959
and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and

2061
03:45:55.159 --> 03:46:03.520
comfortable in your shoulders, which sense that's.

2062
03:46:05.239 --> 03:46:07.200
Deep healing.

2063
03:46:10.239 --> 03:46:27.719
Message into your arms. You may feel almost as if

2064
03:46:27.840 --> 03:46:34.319
your arms are not even that, because they're so relaxed,

2065
03:46:37.559 --> 03:46:47.879
so deeply relaxed, so.

2066
03:46:52.959 --> 03:47:08.559
Calm, so.

2067
03:47:15.319 --> 03:47:30.280
Loose, that feelings spreading all the way down your arms,

2068
03:47:33.040 --> 03:48:03.040
two elbows, including your elbows, circumfort spreads your way, interists,

2069
03:48:05.920 --> 03:48:09.959
your forearments drists.

2070
03:48:15.920 --> 03:48:16.719
So heavy.

2071
03:48:20.360 --> 03:49:05.159
Yet the same time sunlight and gentle Ford said, now on.

2072
03:49:07.840 --> 03:49:31.959
Your hands, your hands.

2073
03:49:37.799 --> 03:50:02.440
So peaceful in your hands, the sense of.

2074
03:50:05.959 --> 03:50:07.719
Real pace.

2075
03:50:19.440 --> 03:50:33.799
Just seems to feel so familiar on your hands. Relax

2076
03:50:35.120 --> 03:52:41.600

2077
03:52:42.360 --> 03:53:11.879

Lets you go.

2085
03:59:45.239 --> 04:00:02.559
Everything. So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty

2086
04:00:02.959 --> 04:00:11.079
down to one. You can imagine in a way it's

2087
04:00:11.280 --> 04:00:17.399
like just walking down some steps and each step or

2088
04:00:17.559 --> 04:00:23.559
twenty steps, and each step represents a level of comfort.

2089
04:00:27.040 --> 04:00:42.399
Each step represents a deepening of that comfort, and the

2090
04:00:42.639 --> 04:00:49.319
furvies you walk down those steps deeper and more relaxed

2091
04:00:49.600 --> 04:02:44.520
you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen,

2092
04:03:30.920 --> 04:07:38.079
sixteenhhhhhhh three four fi s too well.

2093
04:08:29.959 --> 04:10:53.440
U no.

2094
04:11:56.040 --> 04:12:56.760
Eight seven.

2095
04:13:01.719 --> 04:13:30.719
US the.

2096
04:14:33.520 --> 04:15:49.559
Six five.

2097
04:16:01.799 --> 04:17:08.719
US four.

2098
04:19:06.239 --> 04:19:39.760
Used to being.

2099
04:21:36.639 --> 04:21:53.719
Now, as you focus on your eyes, we're gonna count

2100
04:21:53.840 --> 04:22:05.600
down from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

2101
04:22:09.360 --> 04:22:17.879
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

2102
04:22:19.399 --> 04:22:36.440
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

2103
04:22:36.520 --> 04:22:45.040
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focusing

2104
04:22:45.319 --> 04:23:01.479
on your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed each number

2105
04:23:02.479 --> 04:23:14.040
counting down that you may find the all you want

2106
04:23:14.200 --> 04:23:23.000
to do is just drift off to sleep. And if

2107
04:23:23.239 --> 04:23:29.600
that's what you want, then just allow yourself to do

2108
04:23:29.840 --> 04:23:44.639
that now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going to begin

2109
04:23:45.120 --> 04:24:02.719
counting down from ten down to one right now. Two

2110
04:24:29.159 --> 04:25:58.399
nine eight seven.

2111
04:27:03.079 --> 04:27:17.959
US US.

2112
04:28:01.559 --> 04:30:26.840
Five three.

2113
04:31:13.200 --> 04:32:22.200
US US.

2114
04:33:00.319 --> 04:33:00.600
One.

2115
04:33:07.000 --> 04:33:26.840
So counting down from ten to one, ten nine eight seven,

2116
04:33:28.959 --> 04:33:40.840
six five four three two.

2117
04:33:43.360 --> 04:33:43.599
One.

2118
04:33:50.599 --> 04:33:53.479
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

2119
04:33:53.560 --> 04:33:57.439
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

2120
04:33:57.799 --> 04:34:07.479
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

2121
04:34:07.560 --> 04:34:11.400
little bit of pressure there, like you're counting down from

2122
04:34:11.479 --> 04:34:14.119
ten to one. Would you expect me to do? Man,

2123
04:34:15.080 --> 04:34:18.759
expect me to STI go with floppy just because you're

2124
04:34:18.840 --> 04:34:28.200
counting down. We could try it again, but this time

2125
04:34:28.319 --> 04:34:34.279
I'll go a bit slower this time, as you focus

2126
04:34:34.680 --> 04:34:39.279
on the whole of your body before we focus on

2127
04:34:39.360 --> 04:34:49.759
your legs. Just notice how your body does start to

2128
04:34:50.279 --> 04:35:32.200
feel more relaxed with every number that I countdown ten nine, eight, seven, six,

2129
04:35:40.639 --> 04:36:49.599
five four three, yeah, one, And just notice how how

2130
04:36:49.680 --> 04:36:59.759
you feel generally, how your body feels. It's not necessarily

2131
04:37:00.119 --> 04:37:10.959
about counting down from ten to one. It's that space

2132
04:37:12.040 --> 04:37:30.479
that you have, that space between being active physically or

2133
04:37:30.560 --> 04:37:40.040
mentally to just sitting or lying down, just being there,

2134
04:37:40.759 --> 04:37:46.240
not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing to think

2135
04:37:46.319 --> 04:37:47.159
about anything.

2136
04:37:49.000 --> 04:37:52.639
So that opens up a space, you know, a bit

2137
04:37:52.720 --> 04:38:03.479
of a space, a gap. And the more I came

2138
04:38:03.599 --> 04:38:08.159
down from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes.

2139
04:38:11.200 --> 04:38:17.560
So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation.

2140
04:38:23.520 --> 04:38:35.840
It's a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or

2141
04:38:36.400 --> 04:38:50.240
discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you.

2142
04:38:52.959 --> 04:38:53.479
To just.

2143
04:38:56.479 --> 04:39:03.200
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

2144
04:39:03.599 --> 04:39:13.840
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

2145
04:39:13.919 --> 04:39:19.959
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

2146
04:39:20.040 --> 04:39:37.880
gap and gives you that distance, that space.

2147
04:39:40.279 --> 04:39:45.720
Now ten.

2148
04:39:50.080 --> 04:41:47.080
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three two one. How

2149
04:41:47.159 --> 04:41:50.959
did your body feel.

2150
04:41:52.919 --> 04:41:53.080
Now?

2151
04:42:05.799 --> 04:42:21.040
Can you notice that you're feeling calmer, the feeling more

2152
04:42:21.520 --> 04:42:48.919
relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

2153
04:43:04.919 --> 04:43:25.040
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

2154
04:43:25.159 --> 04:43:30.040
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing because

2155
04:43:33.479 --> 04:43:36.159
I'm sure like most of your body is not a

2156
04:43:36.279 --> 04:43:48.680
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

2157
04:43:48.799 --> 04:43:55.200
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

2158
04:43:55.360 --> 04:44:01.759
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer

2159
04:44:01.959 --> 04:44:07.040
thighs and your inner thighs, basically the whole of your

2160
04:44:07.119 --> 04:44:16.040
thigh that leads into your hip and it goes down

2161
04:44:16.200 --> 04:44:25.840
to your knee joint. Now this is a big area,

2162
04:44:30.319 --> 04:44:35.279
it's a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the

2163
04:44:35.400 --> 04:44:50.080
strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs. But

2164
04:44:50.159 --> 04:44:58.560
I don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

2165
04:45:04.520 --> 04:45:15.279
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

2166
04:45:15.439 --> 04:45:36.040
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

2167
04:45:36.159 --> 04:45:46.599
through our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,

2168
04:45:46.720 --> 04:45:55.080
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

2169
04:45:55.200 --> 04:46:02.880
our thighs, needs some TLC, a bit of love shown,

2170
04:46:03.840 --> 04:46:21.799
a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what

2171
04:46:21.919 --> 04:46:31.040
our thighs do for us. And I know this may

2172
04:46:31.240 --> 04:46:36.880
sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I?

2173
04:46:37.680 --> 04:46:40.479
Surely I should be out in the garden hugging a

2174
04:46:40.599 --> 04:46:48.959
tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a microphone

2175
04:46:49.040 --> 04:46:52.080
up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.

2176
04:46:52.119 --> 04:46:55.919
Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. I can't

2177
04:46:55.959 --> 04:47:04.720
see the television from the tree. If you move down

2178
04:47:04.759 --> 04:47:14.520
to your knees, gain such an important part, and I

2179
04:47:14.639 --> 04:47:21.479
think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I

2180
04:47:21.560 --> 04:47:26.680
don't necessarily appreciate all that my needs do for me

2181
04:47:27.959 --> 04:47:33.119
until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,

2182
04:47:33.200 --> 04:47:38.159
if I ever, maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching

2183
04:47:38.319 --> 04:47:44.720
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much

2184
04:47:44.840 --> 04:47:48.479
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to

2185
04:47:49.439 --> 04:47:58.639
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

2186
04:47:59.439 --> 04:48:08.200
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

2187
04:48:09.319 --> 04:48:16.319
You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

2188
04:48:18.479 --> 04:48:24.119
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that

2189
04:48:24.400 --> 04:48:30.560
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all

2190
04:48:30.680 --> 04:48:42.880
that they do for you. And you can still have

2191
04:48:43.040 --> 04:48:47.200
that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your

2192
04:48:47.319 --> 04:48:59.159
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more

2193
04:49:00.959 --> 04:49:12.560
deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,

2194
04:49:13.080 --> 04:49:18.840
your shins, and your calf muscles, the bones between your

2195
04:49:19.799 --> 04:49:28.799
knees and your feet, incorporating the course your ankles so important.

2196
04:49:34.279 --> 04:49:38.919
You know, anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain

2197
04:49:39.040 --> 04:49:46.000
of an ankle knows how how much we take our

2198
04:49:46.200 --> 04:49:54.759
ankles for granted, and it's kind of strange in a

2199
04:49:54.799 --> 04:50:00.400
way when you think that. You know, logically, our wrists

2200
04:50:00.560 --> 04:50:03.400
are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms,

2201
04:50:04.520 --> 04:50:08.119
which is okay, it doesn't can't see any problem with

2202
04:50:08.200 --> 04:50:13.599
that because we're just picking stuff up by our ankles

2203
04:50:15.400 --> 04:50:25.319
so much thinner than the rest of our legs. And

2204
04:50:25.479 --> 04:50:29.959
from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really

2205
04:50:30.080 --> 04:50:37.319
make sense that all this weight would ultimately be resting

2206
04:50:38.360 --> 04:50:48.319
on your ankles then leading to your feet, that thin area,

2207
04:50:49.799 --> 04:50:59.200
thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work. Supports

2208
04:50:59.319 --> 04:51:09.479
us support our body for a lifetime, helps us to balance,

2209
04:51:11.720 --> 04:51:24.520
It helps you to get around and be mobile. And

2210
04:51:24.639 --> 04:51:32.279
there's the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger,

2211
04:51:32.680 --> 04:51:36.000
I couldn't see the point in calf muscles. Didn't seem

2212
04:51:36.040 --> 04:51:41.119
to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,

2213
04:51:41.919 --> 04:51:45.759
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course

2214
04:51:45.840 --> 04:51:49.919
that's not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever

2215
04:51:50.040 --> 04:52:01.959
we use our legs, and your shins there to protect

2216
04:52:03.919 --> 04:52:12.560
your lower legs, shaped in a way almost as a

2217
04:52:12.639 --> 04:52:24.919
protector for the bone leading of course to your ankles

2218
04:52:28.319 --> 04:52:34.880
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on

2219
04:52:35.000 --> 04:52:37.080
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.

2220
04:52:39.040 --> 04:52:43.639
And I realize, and now that I've mentioned your feet,

2221
04:52:43.720 --> 04:52:48.400
you'll probably focus on them anyway, So maybe I should

2222
04:52:48.479 --> 04:52:54.439
focus on your feet a little bit. You can have

2223
04:52:54.639 --> 04:52:59.759
them in your awareness the same as you have your

2224
04:53:00.040 --> 04:53:04.159
eyes in your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing

2225
04:53:04.880 --> 04:53:09.680
on your thighs for a few minutes, let me focusing

2226
04:53:09.759 --> 04:53:26.360
on your ankles. There's still that sensation of comfort in

2227
04:53:26.520 --> 04:53:38.319
your thighs, and there's that movement of energy because the

2228
04:53:38.479 --> 04:53:46.080
thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles,

2229
04:53:46.639 --> 04:53:50.720
the big strong muscles that we have in our thighs,

2230
04:53:59.479 --> 04:54:05.159
but the again on the outside of the thighs, as

2231
04:54:05.279 --> 04:54:09.799
in the outside of all of our body, can be

2232
04:54:10.040 --> 04:54:27.720
very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature, and

2233
04:54:27.880 --> 04:54:36.279
inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,

2234
04:54:36.439 --> 04:54:42.200
the ar trees to all this stuff that's inside your thighs.

2235
04:54:46.520 --> 04:54:49.720
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could

2236
04:54:49.720 --> 04:54:55.080
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and a message,

2237
04:54:57.479 --> 04:55:01.040
so you can message on the outside of the but

2238
04:55:01.119 --> 04:55:04.200
to be able to get deep into the muscles and

2239
04:55:04.319 --> 04:55:09.439
to be able to just massage inside your thighs, message

2240
04:55:09.479 --> 04:55:17.520
in the bones of your leg massage in all the

2241
04:55:17.680 --> 04:55:28.240
veins and just gently healing your thighs, and you can

2242
04:55:28.400 --> 04:55:35.319
move down message and inside your knees. Just message in

2243
04:55:35.439 --> 04:55:42.759
those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy

2244
04:55:43.560 --> 04:55:53.279
deep into the choints of your knees. Of course, there's

2245
04:55:53.319 --> 04:55:58.959
the back of your you need the inside crease where

2246
04:55:58.959 --> 04:56:06.439
you need is it's a very sensitive area. Very it

2247
04:56:06.479 --> 04:56:10.360
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be

2248
04:56:10.520 --> 04:56:14.479
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

2249
04:56:16.520 --> 04:56:23.360
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

2250
04:56:23.479 --> 04:56:30.799
It's almost like a part that has a sensitivity, which

2251
04:56:30.880 --> 04:56:41.319
is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected by

2252
04:56:41.360 --> 04:56:52.799
your legs. So you can imagine putting your fingers into

2253
04:56:52.880 --> 04:57:02.560
that crease in your legs, fold in between your legs.

2254
04:57:03.279 --> 04:57:07.919
You can just message with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips

2255
04:57:08.000 --> 04:57:18.479
going inside, massage in the muscle tissue. You can of

2256
04:57:18.599 --> 04:57:25.720
course field the bones of your knees, healing through your fingertips,

2257
04:57:33.119 --> 04:57:38.400
and then if you go down to your calf muscles.

2258
04:57:38.799 --> 04:57:40.520
Now that's a part. I'd like to be able to

2259
04:57:41.360 --> 04:57:48.680
really put my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, message

2260
04:57:48.799 --> 04:57:57.880
in every single tissue of that muscle, healing every part,

2261
04:58:03.799 --> 04:58:10.159
and then doing the same for my shins, massaging and

2262
04:58:10.799 --> 04:58:17.759
generally stroking the bones, generally stroking them, healing in a

2263
04:58:17.919 --> 04:58:25.040
loving way, because they deserve to be treated as the

2264
04:58:25.200 --> 04:58:29.119
precious bones that they are. Because our legs are so

2265
04:58:29.319 --> 04:58:32.880
precious as in all the other parts of our body,

2266
04:58:35.360 --> 04:58:49.240
the more precious of any chore on the planet. When

2267
04:58:49.319 --> 04:58:57.080
you start to think about your legs in this way,

2268
04:59:01.639 --> 04:59:08.319
it can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

2269
04:59:11.400 --> 04:59:15.680
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

2270
04:59:16.560 --> 04:59:26.560
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

2271
04:59:26.720 --> 04:59:30.599
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

2272
04:59:32.840 --> 04:59:39.200
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your

2273
04:59:39.319 --> 04:59:47.840
fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just to show

2274
04:59:49.720 --> 04:59:57.080
how much you care about your legs, how much you

2275
04:59:57.200 --> 05:00:05.759
care for what your legs for you regularly your knees,

2276
05:00:06.040 --> 05:00:18.880
your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering

2277
05:00:19.080 --> 05:00:23.560
how thin they are compared to the rest of your legs,

2278
05:00:23.720 --> 05:00:37.400
especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely

2279
05:00:37.680 --> 05:00:49.479
amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because of

2280
05:00:49.560 --> 05:01:00.840
what they do for you supporting all that weight. Regardless

2281
05:01:00.880 --> 05:01:04.880
of how what weight you are, even if you only

2282
05:01:04.919 --> 05:01:09.720
eat ate stone, there's still a lot of weight for

2283
05:01:09.840 --> 05:01:17.000
these little ankles. Now I'm a lot heavier than eight stone.

2284
05:01:18.599 --> 05:01:27.720
Double down, get my ankles support my body all the time,

2285
05:01:31.560 --> 05:01:34.479
or they do give off a sigh of relief when

2286
05:01:34.520 --> 05:01:39.599
I sit down. That's in fact, my whole legs do

2287
05:01:43.279 --> 05:01:50.680
my feet feet or so go, my toes clap so happy.

2288
05:02:10.439 --> 05:02:19.680
Your legs really are amazing. And I know that talking

2289
05:02:19.720 --> 05:02:26.080
about talking about your legs is probably possibly among the

2290
05:02:26.200 --> 05:02:31.759
most most boring things I've ever heard anyone say. Possibly

2291
05:02:34.680 --> 05:02:41.319
you're boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your

2292
05:02:41.479 --> 05:03:02.000
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, they

2293
05:03:02.119 --> 05:03:14.680
deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time

2294
05:03:14.799 --> 05:03:39.000
out of the day to just let go completely. Legs

2295
05:03:44.479 --> 05:03:57.720
really can relax. And because the legs are so such

2296
05:03:57.759 --> 05:04:02.279
a most you know, very important part of your body.

2297
05:04:03.599 --> 05:04:06.159
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body

2298
05:04:06.840 --> 05:04:25.560
also naturally follows in that journey of comfort, like I

2299
05:04:25.720 --> 05:04:30.639
feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,

2300
05:04:33.919 --> 05:04:38.520
and also my lower back as well. My lower back

2301
05:04:38.759 --> 05:04:44.279
really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting

2302
05:04:44.360 --> 05:04:50.360
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as

2303
05:04:50.400 --> 05:04:53.400
I'm aware that I'm doing, but it's almost as if

2304
05:04:53.439 --> 05:04:57.319
the muscles are just relaxed so much that there is

2305
05:04:57.479 --> 05:05:06.000
a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.

2306
05:05:22.319 --> 05:05:25.400
And I'm now going to count down from ten down

2307
05:05:25.479 --> 05:05:36.799
to one, and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed

2308
05:05:40.599 --> 05:05:59.799
ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

2309
05:06:04.200 --> 05:06:08.360
Four three.

2310
05:06:12.200 --> 05:06:17.040
Two one.

2311
05:06:23.119 --> 05:06:23.720
Relax.

2312
05:06:31.560 --> 05:06:35.439
So I'm just going to count down from five down

2313
05:06:35.479 --> 05:06:39.919
to one, and as a countdown, if you just focus

2314
05:06:40.040 --> 05:06:47.959
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

2315
05:06:48.880 --> 05:06:56.880
how you feel in this moment as you hear the

2316
05:06:57.000 --> 05:07:05.080
numbers counting down, knowing the those numbers counting down represent

2317
05:07:06.080 --> 05:07:15.080
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also

2318
05:07:17.360 --> 05:07:24.520
relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel there's nothing

2319
05:07:25.240 --> 05:07:30.560
to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about.

2320
05:07:33.639 --> 05:08:22.720
Starting with number five four three two one, as you

2321
05:08:22.880 --> 05:08:28.680
notice the gradual.

2322
05:08:30.959 --> 05:08:31.560
Letting go.

2323
05:08:33.919 --> 05:08:40.840
Of the tension in your body. You may also begin

2324
05:08:41.159 --> 05:08:47.119
to notice and be aware of how your mind is

2325
05:08:48.200 --> 05:08:56.040
starting to slow down. This is just a natural thing

2326
05:08:56.520 --> 05:09:04.479
that happens, not really a special procedure. It's just natural

2327
05:09:04.599 --> 05:09:10.959
because as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax.

2328
05:09:12.599 --> 05:09:16.240
And the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

2329
05:09:16.360 --> 05:09:26.880
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And is that

2330
05:09:28.159 --> 05:09:36.000
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

2331
05:09:36.040 --> 05:09:43.000
if there's background sounds, even your side online, it's still

2332
05:09:43.520 --> 05:09:48.759
going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got

2333
05:09:48.840 --> 05:09:54.000
the television on, there's no music in the background, unless

2334
05:09:54.000 --> 05:10:01.439
you're listening to the recorded with music. Of course, you're

2335
05:10:01.599 --> 05:10:03.720
very likely not going to be sitting in a room

2336
05:10:03.799 --> 05:10:08.360
with other people. Of course you might be, but generally

2337
05:10:08.520 --> 05:10:11.639
it's more ideal if you can do this on your own,

2338
05:10:13.360 --> 05:10:23.439
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

2339
05:10:30.000 --> 05:10:40.279
relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts to grow,

2340
05:10:44.799 --> 05:10:51.479
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

2341
05:10:51.880 --> 05:11:03.639
or something magical, this is just a nat process, something

2342
05:11:03.759 --> 05:11:13.919
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

2343
05:11:14.080 --> 05:11:20.919
the sense of Relaxing completely happens really when you put

2344
05:11:21.119 --> 05:11:24.959
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

2345
05:11:25.080 --> 05:11:36.680
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

2346
05:11:37.119 --> 05:11:47.319
the process of this recording and others is simply two

2347
05:11:48.919 --> 05:11:59.279
allow you to take advantage of this space this time,

2348
05:12:02.279 --> 05:12:13.200
to just let go, to just be here, to be

2349
05:12:13.840 --> 05:12:27.240
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

2350
05:12:29.479 --> 05:12:40.959
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,

2351
05:12:42.119 --> 05:12:47.799
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself.

2352
05:12:49.080 --> 05:12:49.840
In this moment.

2353
05:12:56.840 --> 05:13:06.200
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process

2354
05:13:06.319 --> 05:13:10.400
of falling asleep. The actual falling a sleep part is

2355
05:13:11.439 --> 05:13:19.439
the tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become,

2356
05:13:23.360 --> 05:13:41.040
the easier you find yourself drifting. But you can also

2357
05:13:41.200 --> 05:13:51.279
if you choose stay focused on my voice and really

2358
05:13:51.799 --> 05:14:21.479
enjoy the process gradually relaxing each muscle in your body

2359
05:14:26.520 --> 05:14:42.840
effortlessly and just observing the sensation.

2360
05:14:47.560 --> 05:14:48.479
Of letting go.

2361
05:14:54.919 --> 05:15:05.279
Completely. This time, I'm going to count from six down

2362
05:15:05.360 --> 05:15:17.680
to one, and you can notice your mind calming down

2363
05:15:18.119 --> 05:15:29.919
more with each number that you hear me say, naturally,

2364
05:15:31.000 --> 05:18:12.560
feeling calm and slow and peaceful. Sex fivehhhhhhhhhhh, four three one.

2365
05:18:33.639 --> 05:18:43.240
Being aware of how your mind to slowed rite down,

2366
05:18:46.479 --> 05:19:09.880
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

2367
05:19:10.159 --> 05:19:20.119
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,

2368
05:19:22.720 --> 05:19:32.279
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

2369
05:19:32.360 --> 05:19:32.959
your attention.

2370
05:19:39.959 --> 05:19:41.279
So what you can do is.

2371
05:19:46.799 --> 05:19:59.279
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love,

2372
05:20:01.040 --> 05:20:05.240
my little petals from a flower, Just sprinkle it over them,

2373
05:20:06.680 --> 05:20:13.840
petals fill good love towards those thoughts, to let those

2374
05:20:14.040 --> 05:20:20.479
thoughts know that you're not abandoned the number you just

2375
05:20:20.959 --> 05:20:31.040
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,

2376
05:20:33.319 --> 05:20:34.720
quiet down.

2377
05:20:38.319 --> 05:20:38.720
For now.

2378
05:20:46.599 --> 05:20:51.639
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts. As we

2379
05:20:51.799 --> 05:20:57.040
count down this time from seven down to one. With

2380
05:20:57.159 --> 05:21:11.080
each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

2381
05:21:12.680 --> 05:21:24.520
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

2382
05:21:25.959 --> 05:21:40.959
melt away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts

2383
05:21:41.080 --> 05:22:36.240
will become more and more relaxed. Starting with number seven, six, five,

2384
05:22:49.479 --> 05:24:37.000
four three one. As you now notice how relaxed your

2385
05:24:37.200 --> 05:24:56.919
feeling in your body, We're going to focus on your hands,

2386
05:25:02.759 --> 05:25:08.919
because the more relaxed your hands are, the more relax

2387
05:25:09.240 --> 05:25:11.880
your body and mind are.

2388
05:25:26.919 --> 05:25:27.000
There.

2389
05:25:28.840 --> 05:25:38.959
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing

2390
05:25:39.520 --> 05:25:44.240
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or

2391
05:25:45.319 --> 05:25:55.599
tents in the fingers or anything like that. It's just

2392
05:25:56.080 --> 05:26:10.159
noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

2393
05:26:24.759 --> 05:26:35.240
Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the calmer your

2394
05:26:35.479 --> 05:26:47.360
mind feels, and the more comforts you feel throughout your body.

2395
05:26:53.319 --> 05:26:56.400
You may.

2396
05:26:58.720 --> 05:27:41.799
Have already noticed you mind is starting to drift, Hi said,

2397
05:27:45.880 --> 05:28:00.639
Just on your hands and fingers, allowing them cheer experience.

2398
05:28:03.240 --> 05:28:11.439
Are real deepening of that relaxation in your hands and fingers,

2399
05:28:17.479 --> 05:28:39.840
more and more relaxed. With each number from eight down

2400
05:28:39.959 --> 05:28:52.759
to one. You can almost feel that healing and relaxing

2401
05:28:53.240 --> 05:29:15.479
energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming relaxing with

2402
05:29:15.959 --> 05:29:29.639
each number you hear, going down eight down to one,

2403
05:29:33.959 --> 05:32:25.040
drifting drifting again starting with number eight, seven, six, four, three,

2404
05:33:44.840 --> 05:33:54.159
just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

2405
05:33:55.759 --> 05:34:09.720
nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer. And this

2406
05:34:10.000 --> 05:34:17.599
is your natural state of being. This is how you

2407
05:34:17.880 --> 05:34:24.119
just normally feel when you take away all of that

2408
05:34:24.599 --> 05:34:31.919
other stuff that we add you know, thinks like stress

2409
05:34:32.080 --> 05:34:32.880
and worry.

2410
05:34:32.759 --> 05:34:33.119
In and.

2411
05:34:36.040 --> 05:34:51.119
Overthinking anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff. You take

2412
05:34:51.400 --> 05:34:55.479
that away, which is what we do. What we're doing now,

2413
05:35:01.919 --> 05:35:13.200
you're left with a real sense of peacefulness, which comes

2414
05:35:13.319 --> 05:35:22.639
to you very quickly because ultimately it's just a feeling,

2415
05:35:27.040 --> 05:35:34.840
a feeling of comfort. It's almost as if you've gone

2416
05:35:34.880 --> 05:35:43.360
inside yourself and you've found a special place where everything

2417
05:35:46.720 --> 05:35:55.000
is peaceful, a place where you can film relaxed and

2418
05:35:55.200 --> 05:36:03.159
you're natural sense and comfort, a place.

2419
05:36:02.959 --> 05:36:04.720
Where you can be here.

2420
05:36:09.200 --> 05:36:16.040
Where you can accept yourself and who you are, in

2421
05:36:16.119 --> 05:36:22.080
the place where you're not trying to please anybody else,

2422
05:36:22.639 --> 05:36:35.360
in a place where you can actually not just love yourself,

2423
05:36:35.479 --> 05:36:40.919
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself,

2424
05:36:43.439 --> 05:37:00.720
appreciate who you are, a sense of gratitude. It's in

2425
05:37:00.840 --> 05:37:12.080
the air around you. That's also a place where you

2426
05:37:14.439 --> 05:37:22.360
can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.

2427
05:37:29.040 --> 05:37:41.360
Healing energy soaking into your body. The healing energy spreads

2428
05:37:42.360 --> 05:37:53.560
through your veins, traveling to each every single part of

2429
05:37:53.680 --> 05:38:03.479
your body, and you start to realize that actually that

2430
05:38:03.799 --> 05:38:12.520
healing energy it's not just entered into your brain, it's

2431
05:38:12.639 --> 05:38:24.479
become part of your brain, and the spinal fluid who

2432
05:38:24.520 --> 05:38:27.119
is now mixed with healing energy.

2433
05:38:32.040 --> 05:38:32.520
Not just.

2434
05:38:34.639 --> 05:38:41.119
Allowing you to feel so much more relaxed and healthy

2435
05:38:42.639 --> 05:38:54.080
in this moment, but also you start to realize that actually,

2436
05:38:56.560 --> 05:39:05.560
what's happening now with that heal relaxing energy spreading through

2437
05:39:05.720 --> 05:39:18.520
your body is actually changing your life. It's actually changing

2438
05:39:18.639 --> 05:39:23.720
the way you're going to feel not just now, but

2439
05:39:23.919 --> 05:39:34.119
tomorrow and the next day. As your health improves, not

2440
05:39:34.400 --> 05:39:41.880
just your physical health, but your mental health. Things that

2441
05:39:42.319 --> 05:39:47.040
used to bother you in the past, for some reason,

2442
05:39:48.240 --> 05:39:55.799
no longer have the effect that they used to because

2443
05:39:55.919 --> 05:40:07.599
something has changed deep within you. Maybe things that used

2444
05:40:07.639 --> 05:40:18.080
to cause you to feel anger no longer have that

2445
05:40:19.000 --> 05:40:27.000
power to control you the way they seem to be

2446
05:40:27.119 --> 05:40:36.200
able to before. As you realize that you're the one

2447
05:40:38.200 --> 05:40:49.959
who decides what affects you, you're the one who decides

2448
05:40:52.759 --> 05:41:03.799
to feel relaxed and calm when you choose to enjoy

2449
05:41:05.360 --> 05:41:20.880
noticing these natural developments of healing continuing to grow and

2450
05:41:21.119 --> 05:41:32.400
improve your life day by day, including of course, your

2451
05:41:32.520 --> 05:41:49.880
ability to relax. So much easier than sleeping. It's the

2452
05:41:50.000 --> 05:42:00.799
most natural thing in the world to you, is falling

2453
05:42:00.919 --> 05:42:09.360
asleep is something that you've done so many times in

2454
05:42:09.520 --> 05:42:16.639
your life, and you know that you were born, as

2455
05:42:16.720 --> 05:42:23.080
we all were, with the ability to fall asleep naturally.

2456
05:42:27.319 --> 05:42:38.000
We were born with that ability to just drift off

2457
05:42:38.759 --> 05:42:51.880
into a deep, healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes

2458
05:42:52.000 --> 05:42:56.400
will fall asleep when we don't even want to try

2459
05:42:56.520 --> 05:43:01.279
to think us stay awake. Maybe it's birthday in the morning,

2460
05:43:01.439 --> 05:43:05.759
or it's Christmas or holiday or something we look forward to.

2461
05:43:06.319 --> 05:43:10.400
We don't want to go to sleep. But the more

2462
05:43:10.959 --> 05:43:15.840
we want to stay awake, the more we just start

2463
05:43:15.959 --> 05:43:24.720
to drift. And the more you fight drifting we're trying

2464
05:43:24.759 --> 05:43:29.840
to stop yourself and drift in asleep, the deeper and

2465
05:43:30.119 --> 05:43:41.680
stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not just with

2466
05:43:41.880 --> 05:43:48.319
the need to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep,

2467
05:43:51.560 --> 05:44:04.880
but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA, and

2468
05:44:05.119 --> 05:44:10.599
sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at times

2469
05:44:11.520 --> 05:44:25.479
we have forgotten relaxing completely. It's not only a wonderfully

2470
05:44:25.880 --> 05:44:49.919
pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very very easy

2471
05:44:51.279 --> 05:44:55.599
to let go, because that's all it is is just

2472
05:44:59.159 --> 05:45:00.159
decide and.

2473
05:45:03.040 --> 05:45:03.479
To let go.

2474
05:45:08.680 --> 05:45:14.680
And when you press the play button on my recordings,

2475
05:45:16.560 --> 05:45:27.720
you have given permission from my voice to election. When

2476
05:45:27.759 --> 05:45:31.840
you press that play button, you have given me permission

2477
05:45:33.080 --> 05:45:46.759
for my words to effect you in a positive, only

2478
05:45:47.279 --> 05:46:06.799
a positive way, opening up your mind to useful and

2479
05:46:08.439 --> 05:46:26.040
healing suggestions that can have such an amazing effect on

2480
05:46:26.279 --> 05:46:38.319
how you feel right now, as well as those changes

2481
05:46:38.639 --> 05:46:48.759
that continue long after the recording ends, those changes within

2482
05:46:48.959 --> 05:47:01.840
you that continue to flourish and grow. It's forming your

2483
05:47:02.000 --> 05:47:14.840
life in a positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move

2484
05:47:16.159 --> 05:47:21.479
forward in your life in the direction that you choose

2485
05:47:23.000 --> 05:47:39.159
for yourself. And this feeling, this feeling that you can

2486
05:47:39.319 --> 05:48:03.680
experience of safety, comfort, calmness, This feels so nice. It's

2487
05:48:03.880 --> 05:48:18.040
such a healthy place to be, and that positivity grows

2488
05:48:19.360 --> 05:48:36.919
within you each and every day. Moving forward, you're going

2489
05:48:37.040 --> 05:48:47.799
to find that you're more relaxed physically and in your

2490
05:48:47.919 --> 05:48:57.959
mind is more relaxed. And it's not that you're thinking slower.

2491
05:49:00.240 --> 05:49:03.880
It's just that your mind will be less clogged up

2492
05:49:04.959 --> 05:49:18.279
with unnecessary negativity because from now on, your mind rejects negativity.

2493
05:49:22.279 --> 05:49:29.759
From now on, you're going to start noticing when negativity

2494
05:49:29.880 --> 05:49:44.319
arises and you can just say stop, stop, and that

2495
05:49:44.560 --> 05:50:03.479
negativity will turn around and leave you alone. Stop and

2496
05:50:03.639 --> 05:50:18.799
then negativity would disappear. And as you notice that you

2497
05:50:20.159 --> 05:50:33.400
feel way more relaxed than you probably expected. You can

2498
05:50:33.680 --> 05:50:42.799
now congratulate yourself because you are the person that has

2499
05:50:42.959 --> 05:50:49.119
done this. You are the one that has opened your

2500
05:50:49.319 --> 05:50:57.439
mind up to the simple facts that you can feel

2501
05:50:58.319 --> 05:51:08.119
more relaxed than your body end in your mind. You've

2502
05:51:08.279 --> 05:51:14.080
opened your mind up to the birthright of being.

2503
05:51:13.919 --> 05:51:14.639
Able to just.

2504
05:51:17.319 --> 05:51:32.159
Fall asleep easily when you choose. And that's a nice feeling.

2505
05:51:33.759 --> 05:51:43.880
Don't you think it feels nice? Doesn't it? To feel calm?

2506
05:51:45.520 --> 05:51:50.119
All that healing energy is spreading through your body in

2507
05:51:50.279 --> 05:52:01.840
your mind to spend time in it a special place

2508
05:52:02.240 --> 05:52:19.080
where negativity can no longer enter. Negativity is banned, It's barred,

2509
05:52:20.520 --> 05:52:27.279
it's not allowed entry. Doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve

2510
05:52:27.400 --> 05:52:35.560
to be here, doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place

2511
05:52:36.599 --> 05:52:53.400
in your life, which makes room for more comfort, more healing,

2512
05:52:55.560 --> 05:53:22.799
more relaxation, more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it? Just

2513
05:53:26.520 --> 05:53:47.080
Let go with everything. I'm gonna count down now from

2514
05:53:47.880 --> 05:53:57.400
twenty down to one. You can continue to relax if

2515
05:53:57.439 --> 05:54:09.360
you use you can drift to sleep. With every number

2516
05:54:12.040 --> 05:54:23.720
hear me say, you can fill twice as relaxed, or

2517
05:54:23.759 --> 05:56:40.479
if you choose, you can fill twice Sleeping Now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six.

2518
05:56:48.520 --> 05:57:17.000
Five on.

2519
05:57:29.439 --> 05:57:39.240
This is your time to just take a break, your

2520
05:57:39.400 --> 05:57:50.119
time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,

2521
05:57:58.799 --> 05:58:12.840
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything.

2522
05:58:17.720 --> 05:58:25.080
Endure the only person that can make that decision. You're

2523
05:58:25.119 --> 05:58:32.479
the only person that can actually tell your mind to

2524
05:58:32.840 --> 05:58:56.919
just relax, to just take some time off so that

2525
05:58:57.080 --> 05:59:02.040
you can focus on your body, getting in touch with

2526
05:59:03.240 --> 05:59:04.360
how you feel.

2527
05:59:05.720 --> 05:59:06.200
Physically.

2528
05:59:15.080 --> 05:59:21.479
And in the process of this body scan, where you

2529
05:59:22.279 --> 05:59:32.720
focus on different parts of your body, those parts that

2530
05:59:32.840 --> 05:59:41.119
you focus on and observe. Even though you're not purposely

2531
05:59:42.360 --> 05:59:50.319
requesting for those parts of your body to relax, it's

2532
05:59:50.479 --> 05:59:56.720
kind of expected. You expect when you listen to my

2533
05:59:56.919 --> 06:00:09.840
voice to feel more relaxed naturally, because when you're listening

2534
06:00:09.919 --> 06:00:24.639
to me, your attention is focused on my words, and

2535
06:00:24.759 --> 06:00:36.119
as my words guide you to focus on those parts

2536
06:00:36.279 --> 06:00:54.560
of your body, your focus increases, which actually calms your mind.

2537
06:01:02.520 --> 06:01:21.680
And when your mind calms down, your body relaxes. And

2538
06:01:21.840 --> 06:01:44.520
when your body calms down, your mind relaxes. And even

2539
06:01:44.680 --> 06:01:51.720
though we've not really started to focus on your body.

2540
06:01:54.720 --> 06:02:05.759
You can already feel that healing energy spreading through your body,

2541
06:02:10.680 --> 06:02:24.959
pushing out stress and tension, healing all the parts of

2542
06:02:25.080 --> 06:02:34.840
your body, including your skin, your bones, your blood, all

2543
06:02:34.880 --> 06:02:39.439
of your walkings inside your body, all of the muscles,

2544
06:02:40.799 --> 06:02:47.959
all of the fat, all of everything, every hair on

2545
06:02:48.080 --> 06:03:01.479
your body is filled with that healing energy. And when

2546
06:03:01.560 --> 06:03:17.639
your brain fills with that year the energy, the feeding

2547
06:03:17.799 --> 06:03:42.200
of comfort relaxation increases deeply, increases in a way that

2548
06:03:45.720 --> 06:04:02.400
your mind starts to fill, perhaps spit drowsy because it's

2549
06:04:02.520 --> 06:04:21.720
not needed, and it may start to drift if that's

2550
06:04:21.959 --> 06:04:30.119
what's needed. So if you're listening to this and what

2551
06:04:30.319 --> 06:04:34.159
you need is deep relaxation, that's what you get.

2552
06:04:36.360 --> 06:04:37.799
If what you need is.

2553
06:04:39.479 --> 06:04:41.159
To fall asleep.

2554
06:04:42.439 --> 06:04:51.360
Naturally and easily, that your mind drifts, that's also But

2555
06:04:51.479 --> 06:05:04.439
what happened because by pressing a play button on the

2556
06:05:04.560 --> 06:05:11.799
podcast and listening to me give permission of your body

2557
06:05:12.040 --> 06:05:23.959
and your mind. In fact, you give the command to

2558
06:05:24.080 --> 06:05:35.040
your body and your mind to relax deeply and to

2559
06:05:35.240 --> 06:05:41.000
drift off to sleep if that's what you want.

2560
06:05:44.200 --> 06:05:52.520
Or need them.

2561
06:05:52.560 --> 06:05:57.959
As I focus on the different parts of your body,

2562
06:06:02.959 --> 06:06:11.720
you may start to just drift and then you come

2563
06:06:11.840 --> 06:06:17.119
back again and you hear me talkin and I'm focusing

2564
06:06:17.279 --> 06:06:19.520
on a different part of your body.

2565
06:06:25.240 --> 06:06:25.840
You may.

2566
06:06:27.799 --> 06:06:36.720
Find yourself drifting, be able to realize you're drifting. Until

2567
06:06:36.759 --> 06:06:45.360
you stop drifting. You're alert again to my voice, focusing

2568
06:06:46.520 --> 06:06:51.319
on a different part of your body, starts to relax

2569
06:06:51.479 --> 06:07:04.159
even deeper, because I'm drifting. See here already in the

2570
06:07:04.360 --> 06:07:15.159
sleep zone. And the more you drift, the longer you drift,

2571
06:07:16.799 --> 06:07:27.319
the longer you drift. Eventually that drifting continues into sleep,

2572
06:07:32.279 --> 06:07:37.159
and that's the last you remember until you wake up

2573
06:07:41.639 --> 06:07:46.720
in your own time, when you experience the right amount

2574
06:07:46.880 --> 06:07:56.000
of sleep, because when you do and if you do

2575
06:07:56.439 --> 06:07:57.880
fall asleep.

2576
06:07:57.560 --> 06:07:57.959
It's.

2577
06:08:00.279 --> 06:08:25.000
Extremely pleasant, so relaxing, so deep, healing sleep, And I

2578
06:08:25.279 --> 06:08:33.080
feel so nice to relax since your own body and

2579
06:08:33.279 --> 06:08:43.279
mind af you feel that heating images spreading through you.

2580
06:08:45.560 --> 06:09:11.240
Relaxing so deeply, relaxes so deep. Start to focus on

2581
06:09:11.479 --> 06:09:34.080
your eyes, moving down to your jaw, down, till back,

2582
06:09:41.599 --> 06:10:46.119
your shoulders, arm had thus your chest, stop spine, your as,

2583
06:10:54.080 --> 06:11:42.080
your les, your fate, your tis, spreading grime inside your body.

2584
06:11:44.000 --> 06:11:55.599
Feeling you up. Now, let's focus again on parts of

2585
06:11:55.680 --> 06:12:10.080
your body, focusing this time on your forehead. Now on

2586
06:12:10.240 --> 06:12:19.439
your mouth, your lips, your tongue, a whole of your mouth.

2587
06:12:31.680 --> 06:12:43.520
Focusing on your fingers. Maybe you could move your fingers

2588
06:12:43.560 --> 06:12:48.680
a little bits. You can focus on each one individually,

2589
06:12:54.919 --> 06:13:02.520
both hands, even though if you focus on both of your.

2590
06:13:02.520 --> 06:13:04.200
Hands now.

2591
06:13:05.680 --> 06:13:14.000
They almost seemed to just melt into one. Where did

2592
06:13:14.080 --> 06:13:22.200
your right hand starting left hand, and almost as if

2593
06:13:24.959 --> 06:13:40.360
just mixed together. Now focusing on your knees, just noticing

2594
06:13:41.680 --> 06:14:05.680
how your knees hell. Now focusing on your helpers, focusing

2595
06:14:06.200 --> 06:14:45.479
by fowers, just absurd the feeling of your helpers. Now

06:14:46.040 --> 06:14:52.240
focusing I'm sorry to back of your neck.

2597
06:15:03.360 --> 06:15:39.880
Energy OPSI.

2598
06:15:42.439 --> 06:17:02.479
Ancles physical sensations, lady, not to say.

how your mind fails. Now letting go, letting go, letting

06:19:25.400 --> 06:20:05.599
go everything, letting go, letting go, let go everything.

2604
06:20:12.720 --> 06:20:13.759
Everything.

2605
06:20:20.040 --> 06:20:23.720
I'm going to start now, and I'd like you just,

2606
06:20:23.919 --> 06:20:29.520
first of all, just to see yourself lying down on

2607
06:20:29.639 --> 06:20:35.799
that message table, lying on your front. Your head is supported,

2608
06:20:36.200 --> 06:20:44.959
your arms are supported, and you feel comfortable, and breathing

2609
06:20:45.200 --> 06:20:54.560
is really easy and you feel. You feel confident in

2610
06:20:54.680 --> 06:20:56.880
how you look as well. So there's none of that

2611
06:20:57.040 --> 06:21:03.799
issue of body problems or snus because I'm a professional

2612
06:21:05.000 --> 06:21:11.360
and this is a therapy session, so none of that

2613
06:21:11.520 --> 06:21:21.360
stuff matters on whatsoever. This is about you. This is

2614
06:21:21.400 --> 06:21:29.680
about how you feel and how you can enjoy that

2615
06:21:29.919 --> 06:21:35.840
sense of comfort and relaxation that comes from letting go

2616
06:21:36.360 --> 06:21:41.639
and allowing my hands and my fingers to relax you

2617
06:21:44.520 --> 06:21:53.240
by messaging your body. So I want to start off

2618
06:21:53.439 --> 06:21:58.080
just by placing my hands on the back of your

2619
06:21:58.119 --> 06:22:05.119
head gently, just so you can feel my hands feel

2620
06:22:05.240 --> 06:22:11.959
like really on you. So you can maybe feel the

2621
06:22:12.080 --> 06:22:14.279
warmth of my hands on the back of your head.

2622
06:22:17.560 --> 06:22:19.799
And I with my hands to the side of your head,

2623
06:22:20.799 --> 06:22:27.360
not pressing, but just holding there very gently, maybe over

2624
06:22:27.439 --> 06:22:31.279
your ears, and a little bit on your face, so

2625
06:22:31.439 --> 06:22:37.400
you can feel my hands so you can become accustomed

2626
06:22:39.040 --> 06:22:49.959
to them. And now put my hands on the back

2627
06:22:50.000 --> 06:22:54.799
of your head again and gently let them slide down

2628
06:22:57.400 --> 06:23:06.799
on to the back of your neck. You can feel

2629
06:23:06.840 --> 06:23:16.840
my hands gently stroking the back of your neck to

2630
06:23:16.959 --> 06:23:23.439
start with, just so you can get used to the

2631
06:23:25.319 --> 06:23:29.000
feeling of my hands on your skin, get accustomed to it.

2632
06:23:32.840 --> 06:23:37.759
Realize that you're safe and it's all good, it's all fine,

2633
06:23:44.159 --> 06:23:48.200
and I'm going to start gently messaging the muscles in

2634
06:23:48.319 --> 06:24:04.119
the back of your neck with both hands. And this

2635
06:24:04.279 --> 06:24:10.520
is a very trusting situation really, because our necks are

2636
06:24:10.599 --> 06:24:15.759
so fragile and to have someone have their hands around

2637
06:24:15.840 --> 06:24:20.959
your neck in that way can sometimes be problematic for people,

2638
06:24:22.200 --> 06:24:26.680
which is why massages are quite good, because it allows

2639
06:24:26.720 --> 06:24:36.680
you to relax and to get in touch with trust,

2640
06:24:40.959 --> 06:24:53.560
to feel peaceful and calm. There's a massage the sides

2641
06:24:53.639 --> 06:25:01.680
of your neck, gently moving from the bottom of your neck.

2642
06:25:03.400 --> 06:25:05.880
It would be sort of near where your shoulders start.

2643
06:25:05.959 --> 06:25:12.639
I guess, all the way up to your jaw, your

2644
06:25:12.720 --> 06:25:19.200
ears kind of area the side of your neck. Of course,

2645
06:25:19.240 --> 06:25:21.759
it's a lot longer than the front of your neck.

2646
06:25:34.799 --> 06:25:41.840
The message in the back of your neck, especially that

2647
06:25:42.080 --> 06:25:51.520
area where perhaps we hold tension, and as that area's message,

2648
06:25:51.880 --> 06:25:55.959
you can actually feel a sense of release in the

2649
06:25:56.040 --> 06:26:03.919
back of your neck and maybe you can breathe it

2650
06:26:04.040 --> 06:26:10.000
out as well. Notice how it feels. Notice how you feel.

2651
06:26:19.720 --> 06:26:23.360
And they're moving down to that area between your neck

2652
06:26:23.439 --> 06:26:33.200
and your shoulders, that muscle area, starting to message that

2653
06:26:33.400 --> 06:26:37.680
area on both sides I mean, this would be the

2654
06:26:37.799 --> 06:26:40.599
area that a lot of people would message if they

2655
06:26:40.639 --> 06:26:45.479
were going to give you like a shoulder message. Even

2656
06:26:45.560 --> 06:26:49.520
that's not technically the shoulders, but it's all the muscles

2657
06:26:49.520 --> 06:26:55.919
that lead to the shoulders from the neck and again

2658
06:26:56.080 --> 06:27:03.080
that can hold tension and stress. And when massaged, sometimes

2659
06:27:03.159 --> 06:27:10.159
a nice deep message is useful, and you decide how

2660
06:27:10.360 --> 06:27:28.319
deep that message is, and just allow my knuckles just

2661
06:27:28.439 --> 06:27:32.560
to dig in to get to those muscles and to

2662
06:27:32.799 --> 06:27:42.639
really relaxed and all the time and being firm yet

2663
06:27:43.080 --> 06:28:02.400
gentle with you and just stroking down the area to

2664
06:28:02.560 --> 06:28:08.479
your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of your shoulders

2665
06:28:14.479 --> 06:28:19.279
and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders a little

2666
06:28:19.319 --> 06:28:22.759
bit off the table just to give you a little

2667
06:28:22.799 --> 06:28:33.200
bit of a stretch, but very gently. And you've got

2668
06:28:33.240 --> 06:28:36.840
the muscles at the front of your shoulders the side

2669
06:28:37.080 --> 06:28:47.639
of the back. Again, this is a part that can

2670
06:28:47.799 --> 06:28:53.000
really take quite a bit of pressure, quite a bit

2671
06:28:53.040 --> 06:29:03.840
of needing if if you wish to release the tension

2672
06:29:05.840 --> 06:29:11.959
to really get into those muscles, and you can let

2673
06:29:12.000 --> 06:29:16.040
your fingers in there and make you feel really nice.

2674
06:29:18.000 --> 06:29:24.840
Sometimes it's just being stroked gently or being messaged quite

2675
06:29:25.000 --> 06:29:38.639
strongly can all be beneficial to the realization with the

2676
06:29:38.759 --> 06:29:52.240
muscles in your shoulders. Now, as you move down your arms,

2677
06:29:58.840 --> 06:30:03.040
we're doing one arm the time. Starting with your right arm,

2678
06:30:09.599 --> 06:30:13.240
what I'll do is I just lift your arm up,

2679
06:30:14.159 --> 06:30:19.400
just hold it to the side of you. Don't words

2680
06:30:19.400 --> 06:30:25.840
still be attached, and I just message the tops of

2681
06:30:25.919 --> 06:30:42.159
your arms all the way down to your forearms into

2682
06:30:42.200 --> 06:31:06.119
your wrists, gently messaging that part, the softer part, which

2683
06:31:06.240 --> 06:31:12.560
is the under part of the arm, which leads to

2684
06:31:12.680 --> 06:31:18.080
the crease in your elbow. The inside it's much more

2685
06:31:18.279 --> 06:31:35.680
sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked can feel really nice,

2686
06:31:38.400 --> 06:31:52.319
pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down to your right hand,

2687
06:31:58.360 --> 06:32:10.439
just holding your hand in both of my hands, just

2688
06:32:10.599 --> 06:32:17.200
pressing gently on the back of your hand, stretching your

2689
06:32:17.360 --> 06:32:28.240
fingers ever slightly at the same time pressing down and

2690
06:32:28.439 --> 06:32:42.240
massaging each finger, and then starting to massage the palms

2691
06:32:42.439 --> 06:32:55.080
of the hand. Just turning the hand gently, stretching it gently,

2692
06:33:00.400 --> 06:33:08.520
and actually having your handheld can really be an emotional experience. Sometimes,

2693
06:33:09.560 --> 06:33:14.360
even if it is a stranger, someone you don't know

2694
06:33:14.639 --> 06:33:19.959
very well, like a massage person or a therapist, maybe

2695
06:33:22.000 --> 06:33:35.599
because it's intimate, you can feel nice you can feel safe.

2696
06:33:43.400 --> 06:33:46.360
And as I put that right arm back down where

2697
06:33:46.360 --> 06:33:58.639
it was, did the same with your left arm, exactly

2698
06:33:58.840 --> 06:34:08.479
the same, massaging the muscles in your arm all the

2699
06:34:08.560 --> 06:34:17.040
way down to your wrist, stroking the inside of your arm,

2700
06:34:22.560 --> 06:34:36.040
just being gentle or as firm as you require, and

2701
06:34:36.159 --> 06:34:52.560
then massaging your left hand, stretching the fingers, gently massaging

2702
06:34:52.840 --> 06:35:12.560
the palm of your left hand. You feel so so relaxing,

2703
06:35:20.200 --> 06:35:37.959
so comforting, and I'll just rest your left arm back down.

2704
06:35:45.279 --> 06:35:51.599
The start to message your back, the biggest part of

2705
06:35:51.720 --> 06:36:03.119
your body, starting at the top, starting again where we

2706
06:36:03.159 --> 06:36:06.479
already be have been, the area at the top in

2707
06:36:06.599 --> 06:36:13.880
between your shoulders, near your neck. Going back and massage

2708
06:36:13.919 --> 06:36:25.400
in the area again, but this time moving downwards, making

2709
06:36:25.439 --> 06:36:33.680
it downward. Stroke to the middle of a back, working

2710
06:36:33.880 --> 06:36:41.599
from the outside inwards. So massage in that your back,

2711
06:36:41.720 --> 06:36:54.119
but the outsides of your back parts where your arms

2712
06:36:54.200 --> 06:37:07.319
would maybe rest against, almost the path that connects your

2713
06:37:07.400 --> 06:37:24.319
front to your back. Just messaging down firmly but gently,

2714
06:37:25.439 --> 06:37:33.680
as firm as you want, moving down and moving across

2715
06:37:33.759 --> 06:37:37.400
a little bed, moving all the way down again, be

2716
06:37:37.639 --> 06:37:50.479
very gentle yet firm as you choose. Eventually we get

2717
06:37:50.520 --> 06:37:55.560
to the spine. We can message the muscles and either

2718
06:37:55.759 --> 06:37:59.080
side of your spine from the top of your neck

2719
06:37:59.599 --> 06:38:11.000
or the way down to your lower back. We can

2720
06:38:11.119 --> 06:38:20.479
do that a few times. Sometimes people use the knuckle

2721
06:38:21.400 --> 06:38:26.119
or the you know, two fingers and just go either

2722
06:38:26.240 --> 06:38:31.520
side of the spine, almost just push down, go all

2723
06:38:31.560 --> 06:38:35.319
the way down to the bottom of the spine, each

2724
06:38:35.520 --> 06:38:46.080
time releasing tension and opening up the body, stretching your

2725
06:38:46.159 --> 06:38:52.919
body so that you feel more relaxed but at the

2726
06:38:53.040 --> 06:39:09.360
same time rejuvenated. And now I'm going to move to

2727
06:39:09.520 --> 06:39:18.080
one side, to your right side, and from the bottom

2728
06:39:18.119 --> 06:39:23.840
of your ribs to your pelvis, I'm going to message

2729
06:39:24.919 --> 06:39:30.240
that area of your back. I'll stretch over the other

2730
06:39:30.360 --> 06:39:35.680
side and I will pull the muscles gently and massage

2731
06:39:35.840 --> 06:39:40.080
and push from one end that side all the way

2732
06:39:40.159 --> 06:39:45.119
to my side to the middle in fact, to where

2733
06:39:45.159 --> 06:39:51.840
your spine is. Massaging that side of your spine the

2734
06:39:51.880 --> 06:39:58.119
opposite side to where I'm standing. It's almost like kneading bread.

2735
06:40:00.520 --> 06:40:06.880
There's that big area which is firm yet lots there

2736
06:40:07.159 --> 06:40:16.639
to message. Potentially one of the most important places to

2737
06:40:16.759 --> 06:40:24.279
actually have a message, because you really feel it. You

2738
06:40:24.479 --> 06:40:29.439
really feel the release and the pleasure of having your

2739
06:40:29.520 --> 06:40:37.200
lower back messaged, it releases so much from your body

2740
06:40:38.720 --> 06:40:47.599
that's not useful, starting a healing process which will continue

2741
06:40:47.759 --> 06:41:00.200
long after this recording is over. The message in this

2742
06:41:00.360 --> 06:41:04.279
part of your body not only feels really good for you,

2743
06:41:05.720 --> 06:41:10.159
it's actually fun to do because it is, as I said,

2744
06:41:10.360 --> 06:41:15.439
like kneading bread, it's a part that you can really

2745
06:41:15.560 --> 06:41:23.360
get hold of and really massage deeply if that's your choice.

2746
06:41:31.319 --> 06:41:33.240
They're not going to move over to the other side

2747
06:41:33.279 --> 06:41:39.759
of your body and do the same with the opposite

2748
06:41:39.880 --> 06:41:49.200
part of your lawer back. Kneading and messaging from your

2749
06:41:49.360 --> 06:41:56.840
sides or way to the middle of your back where

2750
06:41:56.840 --> 06:42:10.479
your spine is pressing and kneading firm and gentle at

2751
06:42:10.520 --> 06:42:25.759
the same time. It feels so releasing this mixture of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness,

2752
06:42:26.119 --> 06:42:37.759
relaxation or mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your

2753
06:42:37.840 --> 06:42:43.000
stomach as it's being stretched. Even though you're in your

2754
06:42:43.080 --> 06:42:47.360
stomach now, you can feel it being stretched because that

2755
06:42:47.520 --> 06:42:58.919
whole area is connected to your stomach. Now we're going

2756
06:42:58.959 --> 06:43:04.080
to move or further up to your top of your

2757
06:43:04.159 --> 06:43:11.639
body and we do the same this time, starting with

2758
06:43:12.799 --> 06:43:18.360
your upper back. Put my hands forward over and massive

2759
06:43:18.520 --> 06:43:25.520
massage in that area up to your spine, from the

2760
06:43:25.680 --> 06:43:29.840
side of your body up to your spine. So some

2761
06:43:30.000 --> 06:43:36.680
of that message area, the muscle tissue or whatever fatty

2762
06:43:36.759 --> 06:43:42.040
tissue even will be possibly from your chest because it's

2763
06:43:42.040 --> 06:43:49.240
all connected, chest and the back connect together. I'm going

2764
06:43:49.319 --> 06:43:52.880
to be massaging and just pulling some of that skin

2765
06:43:54.200 --> 06:44:03.880
from your side up and messaging that of your upper

2766
06:44:03.959 --> 06:44:12.279
back all the way to your spine. And then I'll

2767
06:44:12.319 --> 06:44:15.240
move down a bit and I'll continue with the middle

2768
06:44:15.279 --> 06:44:22.400
of your back doing exactly the same thing as gentle,

2769
06:44:22.720 --> 06:44:35.880
as deep as you choose. Now, I'll move or the

2770
06:44:35.959 --> 06:44:40.799
other side again and do the exact same thing with

2771
06:44:41.040 --> 06:44:45.119
the top of your back on the other side, from

2772
06:44:50.279 --> 06:44:59.000
pretty much underneath your arm area really to your spine,

2773
06:45:04.080 --> 06:45:10.720
and then continue in that all the way down, including

2774
06:45:10.840 --> 06:45:27.840
your lower your middle of your back. I'm gonna go

2775
06:45:28.279 --> 06:45:34.520
to your thighs, the backs of your thighs, and the

2776
06:45:34.720 --> 06:45:44.639
sides of your thighs, starting with your right leg. Massage

2777
06:45:44.720 --> 06:45:54.319
in the back and the sides of your thighs gently

2778
06:45:54.599 --> 06:46:00.479
and firmly. There's a lot of muscles there. It's an

2779
06:46:00.520 --> 06:46:04.080
area that can be very tense at times and maybe

2780
06:46:04.799 --> 06:46:07.240
needs a little bit more pressure than the rest of

2781
06:46:07.319 --> 06:46:15.919
the body that's up to you. You can gently stroke

2782
06:46:16.040 --> 06:46:22.959
the back of your legs where you know, opposite your

2783
06:46:23.040 --> 06:46:30.919
knee joint or underneath your knee joint, very sensitive, gentle area.

2784
06:46:37.840 --> 06:46:45.000
And then working down to your calf muscles. Massage in

2785
06:46:45.119 --> 06:46:54.319
your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose, using

2786
06:46:54.439 --> 06:47:13.439
both hands, girls digging deep to your ankles and the

2787
06:47:13.560 --> 06:47:20.400
back of your back of your ankles, just gently massage

2788
06:47:20.479 --> 06:47:32.319
in that area, maybe lifting the leg and stretching a

2789
06:47:32.400 --> 06:47:57.560
little bit. Moving to the right foot, massage in the

2790
06:47:57.639 --> 06:48:04.639
bottom of your feet and the sides of your feet

2791
06:48:11.799 --> 06:48:15.720
gently but firm enough so they don't tickle.

2792
06:48:20.919 --> 06:48:22.119
And just allow.

2793
06:48:24.400 --> 06:48:27.680
The pleasure that you get from heaven. Your feet massaged

2794
06:48:30.400 --> 06:48:37.240
to just overtake you as I continue to message your feet,

2795
06:48:39.720 --> 06:48:47.680
the bottoms of your feet, the sides, your arches, your heel.

2796
06:48:50.119 --> 06:48:52.319
You can put a lot of pressure into your heel

2797
06:48:53.119 --> 06:48:58.119
and it feels amazing, Yet the arches need to be

2798
06:48:58.240 --> 06:49:09.919
a bit more gentle. Stretching your toes gently and massage

2799
06:49:10.000 --> 06:49:16.040
in the bottoms of your toes with my fingers, each

2800
06:49:16.159 --> 06:49:29.799
one individually. Moving over to the left leg to do

2801
06:49:30.000 --> 06:49:38.720
exactly the same thing, starting at the top of the thighs,

2802
06:49:40.959 --> 06:49:43.479
work in the back of the thighs and the sides,

2803
06:49:45.119 --> 06:49:55.520
massaging deeply and gently the whole area, working all the

2804
06:49:55.560 --> 06:50:08.400
way down. And this is an area that maybe you

2805
06:50:08.479 --> 06:50:16.840
could like to spend more time relaxing and messaging. Perhaps

2806
06:50:17.759 --> 06:50:22.560
if you wanted, I could big a future recording wants

2807
06:50:22.599 --> 06:50:31.520
spend more time on one particular area. As you moved

2808
06:50:31.599 --> 06:50:44.279
down to your calf muscles, massage and your calf muscles

2809
06:50:45.759 --> 06:50:59.680
firmly and gently, moving down your aincor into your feet,

2810
06:51:01.560 --> 06:51:07.279
Massage in the backs of your feet, the bottoms of

2811
06:51:07.360 --> 06:51:17.360
your feet, stretching your toes and message in each tone individually.

2812
06:51:19.959 --> 06:51:25.799
And that feeling of pleasure and release, the experience when

2813
06:51:25.880 --> 06:51:44.279
you're having your feet and massaged feels really good. Now

2814
06:51:47.599 --> 06:51:51.840
as you turn over in your mind, laying on your back,

2815
06:51:59.360 --> 06:52:12.919
she's going to stay again your neck area and your shoulders,

2816
06:52:16.919 --> 06:52:27.360
just to get back in touch with that area. And

2817
06:52:27.520 --> 06:52:39.119
as we move up, I can clean my hands, make

2818
06:52:39.200 --> 06:52:42.759
them more fresh, because now I'm going to message your

2819
06:52:42.840 --> 06:52:59.240
face gently, starting off with your forehead. Your eyes are closed,

2820
06:53:00.599 --> 06:53:06.439
I can just stretch your eyes a little bit, pushing

2821
06:53:06.560 --> 06:53:23.400
up on your eyebrows, just messaging around your scalp, massaging

2822
06:53:23.639 --> 06:53:33.880
down your cheeks, around your ears, into your chaw, shently

2823
06:53:38.840 --> 06:53:56.799
the side of your neck, your chin, and just moving

2824
06:53:57.000 --> 06:54:08.200
down from your neck down to your chest, starting by

2825
06:54:08.360 --> 06:54:15.479
message in the very top of your chest where the

2826
06:54:15.560 --> 06:54:28.919
collar bone is. Give a side of the collarbone, and

2827
06:54:29.000 --> 06:54:41.560
then just message in the hole of the chest. Move

2828
06:54:41.639 --> 06:54:53.360
in the chest around, because it's quite a large area.

2829
06:54:55.319 --> 06:55:02.759
You can move from one side to the next, moving

2830
06:55:03.119 --> 06:55:14.119
my hands underneath pretty much where your arms are stretching up,

2831
06:55:16.319 --> 06:55:19.360
stretching some of the muscles of your back in the process,

2832
06:55:24.639 --> 06:55:33.279
moving up over your chest, and they're moving down again.

2833
06:55:46.000 --> 06:55:51.520
They're laying my hands. They're just massage gently and slide

2834
06:55:51.799 --> 06:55:58.319
down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,

2835
06:56:01.799 --> 06:56:08.639
and then gradually my head's moving apart and massaging and

2836
06:56:08.880 --> 06:56:18.360
sliding at the same time, moving down to just below

2837
06:56:18.439 --> 06:56:36.639
your ribcage, moving down and then messaging up again, giving

2838
06:56:36.680 --> 06:56:44.759
your chest all the attention that it needs to feel

2839
06:56:45.040 --> 06:56:57.319
completely relaxed. Remembering that I'm also going to be focusing

2840
06:56:58.159 --> 06:57:03.439
on your sides as well, an area that really doesn't

2841
06:57:03.520 --> 06:57:10.639
get much attention but feels really good when it's massaged,

2842
06:57:15.560 --> 06:57:19.560
just stroking my hands down the sides of your body,

2843
06:57:23.400 --> 06:57:26.799
just below your arms all the way down to your hips.

2844
06:57:36.439 --> 06:57:42.279
Now moving to your stomach area. I'm going to stand

2845
06:57:42.400 --> 06:57:45.119
one side of you like I did when I did

2846
06:57:45.159 --> 06:57:50.400
your luwer back. I'm going to do a similar process

2847
06:57:51.360 --> 06:58:02.080
of just stretching the muscles from your side, gently massaging

2848
06:58:06.279 --> 06:58:13.639
from one side to the next, move in the whole

2849
06:58:13.840 --> 06:58:18.680
area from below your ribs all the way down to

2850
06:58:18.840 --> 06:58:28.560
below your belly button, and then move around to the

2851
06:58:28.639 --> 06:58:44.720
other side of you and repeat that process of relaxing, deeply, calmly.

2852
06:58:47.880 --> 06:58:55.040
You feel loose, you feel free. And it's something about

2853
06:58:55.159 --> 06:58:59.880
having your stomach message that's different from any other part

2854
06:59:03.520 --> 06:59:08.040
because we do have a tendency of holding a different

2855
06:59:08.200 --> 06:59:12.200
kind of stress in our stomach that we may not

2856
06:59:12.360 --> 06:59:23.319
be aware of. There's a now message your stomach. In

2857
06:59:23.479 --> 06:59:30.520
front of your stomach, they can circles around your belly

2858
06:59:30.599 --> 06:59:46.240
button and then going the other way around. The gentleness

2859
06:59:46.439 --> 06:59:52.400
and a freedom that comes from feeling how you're feeling

2860
06:59:57.919 --> 07:00:05.119
as a Now, move down the tops of your thighs muscles,

2861
07:00:05.720 --> 07:00:10.639
massaging them, and I can do this to your legs

2862
07:00:10.720 --> 07:00:21.360
at the same time, pressing down, massaging deeply those muscles

2863
07:00:21.439 --> 07:00:30.360
in your thighs, the front of your thighs, and moving

2864
07:00:30.560 --> 07:00:41.599
down to your knees, gently massaging your knees, sliding down

2865
07:00:41.759 --> 07:00:47.200
your shins, putting pressure on either side of your shin

2866
07:00:48.400 --> 07:01:05.360
gently softly but firmly, moving down to your ankles, stroking

2867
07:01:05.680 --> 07:01:16.040
the tops of your feet, and then with each foot

2868
07:01:16.400 --> 07:01:21.680
in each hand, just gently messaging the whole of the foot,

2869
07:01:25.959 --> 07:01:31.520
the top, the bottom, your heel, your ankle, your toes,

2870
07:01:34.000 --> 07:01:43.159
messaging every part of your feet. It feels so good

2871
07:01:43.919 --> 07:01:58.080
just to let go and enjoy the process, Enjoy feeling

2872
07:02:00.639 --> 07:02:13.919
so deeply relaxed. So much comfort and so many feelings

2873
07:02:15.520 --> 07:02:30.159
become just from touching your skin. And you can just

2874
07:02:31.360 --> 07:02:40.759
lie there for as long as you choose, enjoying the

2875
07:02:41.040 --> 07:02:59.319
feeling of deep comfort from being massaged by me. Enjoy

2876
07:03:02.959 --> 07:03:24.959
fear deeply. And all we're gonna do is blow out

2877
07:03:25.040 --> 07:03:43.439
some candles. In your mind, there're gonna be a hundred candles,

2878
07:03:50.560 --> 07:03:56.360
and you're going to blow each one out individually, one

2879
07:03:56.720 --> 07:04:03.360
by one. Stock art in at one hundred. As I

2880
07:04:03.520 --> 07:04:15.319
count down all the way down to one, and each

2881
07:04:15.479 --> 07:04:24.560
time I say a number, you can imagine that candle

2882
07:04:25.119 --> 07:04:31.040
in front of you, and I'd like you to actually

2883
07:04:31.080 --> 07:04:50.040
eat physically generally blow that candle out, just so it's

2884
07:04:50.080 --> 07:04:59.119
not big blow its just a gentle, and that candle

2885
07:05:00.639 --> 07:05:09.919
will extinguish. And then I'll say the next number, so

2886
07:05:09.959 --> 07:05:19.159
we moved down. Then you can just put that one

2887
07:05:19.240 --> 07:05:28.959
out as well. And as we move down the numbers,

2888
07:05:33.520 --> 07:05:38.919
you'll find yourself feeling more and more relaxed.

2889
07:05:41.959 --> 07:05:42.759
If you need.

2890
07:05:44.279 --> 07:05:53.520
To sleep, you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy.

2891
07:05:57.360 --> 07:06:04.799
In fact, you may struggle to blow out all one

2892
07:06:04.959 --> 07:06:21.840
hundred of these candles as you feel more and more

2893
07:06:22.159 --> 07:06:50.080
deeply relaxed, more and more deeply tired, And the further

2894
07:06:50.479 --> 07:07:00.200
you go down, the more your mind starts to treat.

2895
07:07:06.520 --> 07:07:12.959
You may find that you stop listening to me after

2896
07:07:13.119 --> 07:07:25.919
a while. And even though there may be background sounds

2897
07:07:26.040 --> 07:07:36.840
where you are, you'll be aware of those sounds at

2898
07:07:36.880 --> 07:07:37.759
the moment.

2899
07:07:42.720 --> 07:07:43.400
You may.

2900
07:07:46.680 --> 07:08:01.479
Start to just not even notice them at all because

2901
07:08:01.639 --> 07:08:15.200
they're unimportant. Where I am, I call the sounds of

2902
07:08:15.319 --> 07:08:21.959
the birds. There's all Horris the pigeon who likes to

2903
07:08:22.040 --> 07:08:28.599
say hello sometimes, and there's the odd plane that goes by,

2904
07:08:31.639 --> 07:08:45.080
maybe traffic and trains in the distance, But none of

2905
07:08:45.159 --> 07:08:57.319
that scene is important. Whatsoever or candles you blow out

2906
07:08:59.200 --> 07:09:00.919
the less important wortn't.

2907
07:09:01.880 --> 07:09:04.080
Anything is.

2908
07:09:08.959 --> 07:09:20.400
More candles you blow out. The furv seemed to move

2909
07:09:21.080 --> 07:09:40.360
away from sounds and from general date days. Stuff seems

2910
07:09:40.639 --> 07:09:54.680
to just move away on its own. You feel more

2911
07:09:57.319 --> 07:10:18.000
calmer with every candle you blow out, guiding you to

2912
07:10:18.159 --> 07:10:31.279
the next number. Did you hear me say? And then

2913
07:10:31.360 --> 07:10:49.000
you blow that candle out too? So easy, so simple.

2914
07:10:58.560 --> 07:11:12.560
I'm gonna start by introducing the first candle. This is

2915
07:11:12.639 --> 07:11:29.880
a hundred. First candle, This is one hundred. When you

2916
07:11:30.840 --> 07:11:47.119
blow that candle out, you'll find immediately a light change

2917
07:11:51.000 --> 07:11:59.240
in how you feel, as well as a real sense

2918
07:11:59.400 --> 07:12:30.040
of positivity growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding. Starting

2919
07:12:30.759 --> 07:12:59.159

08:10:21.319 --> 08:10:26.159
about the future, and even things you've been thinking about today.

2951
08:10:28.240 --> 08:10:33.400
Just let it all go because none of it is

2952
08:10:33.599 --> 08:10:48.040
useful in this moment. This is your opportunity to just

2953
08:10:48.400 --> 08:11:02.959
focus on feeling relaxed yourself, to get in touch with

2954
08:11:03.119 --> 08:11:13.200
that natural sense of peace that we all have within us.

2955
08:11:15.599 --> 08:11:21.040
It's available for everyone. It just sometimes takes a little

2956
08:11:21.080 --> 08:11:27.400
bit of effort to set up the right time and

2957
08:11:27.560 --> 08:11:34.880
place in order for you to just let go. Because

2958
08:11:34.959 --> 08:11:42.880
when you do decide to let go and relax, that's

2959
08:11:42.959 --> 08:11:50.959
what your body starts to do because you've chosen, You've

2960
08:11:51.200 --> 08:11:58.040
chosen to just allow your body to unwind and your

2961
08:11:58.159 --> 08:12:04.880
mind starts to slow down. And it's a nice feeling.

2962
08:12:06.919 --> 08:12:10.080
It's a nice feeling at the beginning, just to know

2963
08:12:11.200 --> 08:12:21.279
that you have chosen to decide to relax deeply, and

2964
08:12:21.439 --> 08:12:27.959
because you've made that decision, your body will just follow suit.

2965
08:12:30.520 --> 08:12:35.200
Because sometimes all the muscles in your body need is

2966
08:12:35.479 --> 08:12:45.119
just permission from you to relax. Because so often we're busy,

2967
08:12:45.360 --> 08:12:49.560
we're going from here to there, we're walking around and

2968
08:12:49.680 --> 08:12:57.000
we're doing stuff and the body doesn't have any time

2969
08:12:57.279 --> 08:13:05.639
or space to really relax deeply, so it kind of

2970
08:13:05.759 --> 08:13:11.319
waits for you to lead the way, waits for your permission.

2971
08:13:15.680 --> 08:13:22.159
And when you do give your permission, when you give

2972
08:13:22.240 --> 08:13:28.520
the say so, when you say okay, it's time for

2973
08:13:28.639 --> 08:13:38.279
your body to let go completely and relax totally, your

2974
08:13:38.319 --> 08:13:47.799
body just follows. So like a breath of relief. Ah good,

2975
08:13:47.880 --> 08:13:54.799
I can now relax. That feeling at the end of

2976
08:13:54.880 --> 08:13:58.880
a day of very physical day that you may experience

2977
08:13:59.000 --> 08:14:02.319
in the past, where you get home and you just

2978
08:14:02.520 --> 08:14:06.799
sit down on a chair, maybe you kick your shoes off,

2979
08:14:06.880 --> 08:14:13.439
and feels so nice. I know that you don't have

2980
08:14:13.599 --> 08:14:17.080
to get up again for a little while at least,

2981
08:14:18.119 --> 08:14:20.520
and if you choose, you can just sit there for

2982
08:14:20.639 --> 08:14:33.959
maybe an hour to feels blissful. And just by sitting

2983
08:14:34.159 --> 08:14:39.360
down like that, your body knows that it's time to relax.

2984
08:14:41.000 --> 08:14:46.840
Your body has been given permission from you because it's

2985
08:14:46.919 --> 08:14:57.119
a mindset. In your mind, you're prepared to let go

2986
08:14:57.279 --> 08:15:07.360
of everything and just completely allow all the stress of

2987
08:15:07.439 --> 08:15:19.360
your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just gradually vanish.

2988
08:15:25.880 --> 08:15:37.560
It's almost like magic, really, because that sense of relaxation

2989
08:15:37.880 --> 08:15:43.880
in your body. It's a very natural state. It's not

2990
08:15:44.080 --> 08:15:48.919
something unusual. It may feel unusual when you first start

2991
08:15:49.000 --> 08:15:53.680
to relax. You if you haven't really spent a lot

2992
08:15:53.720 --> 08:15:58.119
of time focusing and giving yourself this space to let

2993
08:15:58.200 --> 08:16:05.720
go completely. Legs they seem almost alien, but it isn't.

2994
08:16:07.279 --> 08:16:13.159
It's actually the most natural thing in the world to

2995
08:16:13.360 --> 08:16:23.119
let go completely, to relax totally, the most natural thing

2996
08:16:23.439 --> 08:16:35.639
in the world to allow yourself to feel really calm

2997
08:16:36.080 --> 08:16:43.080
in your mind. And it is almost like a literal unwinding.

2998
08:16:46.759 --> 08:16:52.200
It's like you press a button and all the tension

2999
08:16:52.599 --> 08:16:58.400
just releases, and it's like a wheel, like a cog,

3000
08:16:59.360 --> 08:17:03.159
like the inside of the clock, just unwinding. And you say,

3001
08:17:03.240 --> 08:17:07.919
should I could see that the little wind up knob

3002
08:17:08.080 --> 08:17:13.080
that's used just going the opposite way that you choose

3003
08:17:13.200 --> 08:17:21.040
to wind it up, and the energy that frenetic stress

3004
08:17:21.479 --> 08:17:31.439
for energy gradually winding down, losing its power, losing its strength.

3005
08:17:33.959 --> 08:17:43.200
There's a sense of relaxation becomes stronger and deeper, and

3006
08:17:43.560 --> 08:17:52.479
you may find at more relaxed you feel your mind

3007
08:17:52.959 --> 08:18:02.400
starts to wander, maybe seem to stop listening to me

3008
08:18:02.599 --> 08:18:08.520
for a while. Your mind goes somewhere else, and then

3009
08:18:08.560 --> 08:18:14.680
you realize you're listening to me again, and that's just

3010
08:18:14.840 --> 08:18:23.200
your mind to drifting to sleep, which is quite natural,

3011
08:18:24.759 --> 08:18:32.680
because sometimes when we're stressed and tense, we're not may

3012
08:18:32.720 --> 08:18:37.159
I actually be aware of what we need or we

3013
08:18:37.360 --> 08:18:46.000
physically your emotionally need in this moment. But when you

3014
08:18:46.759 --> 08:18:53.880
allow your body and mind to relax completely, and you

3015
08:18:54.040 --> 08:19:03.000
let go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas all and

3016
08:19:03.400 --> 08:19:12.360
go and allow them to drop onto the floor, you

3017
08:19:12.599 --> 08:19:21.560
start to get in touch with the feelings of such relaxation.

3018
08:19:26.159 --> 08:19:32.880
Feels so nice to be in touch with the calmness

3019
08:19:34.840 --> 08:19:43.759
of the different body parts as they become looser and looser.

3020
08:19:47.840 --> 08:19:56.720
Believe in your breathing seems easier and more natural, effortless

3021
08:20:00.040 --> 08:20:06.200
as that coolers through your mouth, or notice into your lungs,

3022
08:20:08.919 --> 08:20:17.279
breathing in comforts and relaxation and then just breathing out

3023
08:20:17.520 --> 08:20:26.360
any excess remain intentional stress from every part of your

3024
08:20:26.439 --> 08:20:34.919
body and mind. As you start to focus on your mind,

3025
08:20:36.680 --> 08:20:43.720
maybe you notice that things that come to a standstill

3026
08:20:45.240 --> 08:20:54.319
maybe just much much lower than before because your mind

3027
08:20:54.560 --> 08:21:05.080
is not really needed. When listening to my voice, which

3028
08:21:05.159 --> 08:21:11.639
allows your mind to relax just as deeply as your body.

3029
08:21:14.360 --> 08:21:26.360
And that's synchronicity between the relaxation of your body relaxation

3030
08:21:27.319 --> 08:21:39.159
of your mind. Let you know that feeling completely calm, loose,

3031
08:21:39.520 --> 08:21:51.400
and relaxed real is the great healing experience fear.

3032
08:21:53.680 --> 08:21:54.400
And has.

3033
08:21:58.720 --> 08:22:07.159
So many positive benefits for your body, mind, and your life.

3034
08:22:09.840 --> 08:22:18.560
To be able to let go everything and to relax completely,

3035
08:22:20.479 --> 08:22:28.599
you know, all parts of your body and mind, even

3036
08:22:28.720 --> 08:22:45.919
your bons arised, your muscles arised, even the skin that

3037
08:22:46.319 --> 08:23:01.520
covers your body is relaxed, every hair that you have,

3038
08:23:03.159 --> 08:23:20.880
there's also deepay relaxed. Then your brain really starts to

3039
08:23:21.119 --> 08:23:23.240
feel the benefits.

3040
08:23:24.479 --> 08:23:24.799
Of this.

3041
08:23:26.400 --> 08:23:38.040
Heating relaxation. And as you focus on the in the

3042
08:23:38.279 --> 08:23:43.319
side of your scalp where your brain is, you can

3043
08:23:43.599 --> 08:23:51.560
start to realize and notice the benefits of your brain

3044
08:23:52.639 --> 08:24:06.759
relaxing deepay, and it's your brain continues to wax sends

3045
08:24:07.159 --> 08:24:15.880
those messages to the rest of your body and your

3046
08:24:16.000 --> 08:24:41.040
mind to really relax more deeply, relaxily, more completely, letting

3047
08:24:41.279 --> 08:24:53.279
go any remaining thoughts or concerns, allow them just to

3048
08:24:53.560 --> 08:25:01.080
drop onto the floor because they're no longer necessary in

3049
08:25:01.799 --> 08:25:15.599
this moment, this moment of deep reaxation and calmness, feeling

3050
08:25:18.240 --> 08:25:42.840

of your brain, feeling so loose and comfortable, so relaxed

3052
08:26:03.639 --> 08:26:16.319
and be peaceful. Your brain feels so light, that's so healthy.

3053
08:26:19.520 --> 08:26:29.720
That sense of deep deep comfort really does allow you

3054
08:26:33.439 --> 08:26:45.200
to enjoy those ever increasing sensations of comfort that is

3055
08:26:45.439 --> 08:26:58.639

3072
08:30:53.599 --> 08:31:01.319
body scan focusing on firstly, how you feel in your body.

3073
08:31:02.439 --> 08:31:08.080
Not trying to change how you feel, not trying to relax,

3074
08:31:09.360 --> 08:31:14.319
not trying to move away from any discomfort or stress

3075
08:31:14.560 --> 08:31:22.000
or tension. Just accepting, observing and accepting how you feel

3076
08:31:22.959 --> 08:31:27.880
in the different parts of your body, Just allowing yourself

3077
08:31:29.279 --> 08:31:36.759
to be exactly as you are, to notice to get

3078
08:31:36.840 --> 08:31:45.439
in touch with how you actually feel in this moment.

3079
08:31:48.919 --> 08:31:55.439
I'm going to start off by focusing on your hands,

3080
08:32:00.080 --> 08:32:08.159
to be aware of your hands, like you to move

3081
08:32:08.240 --> 08:32:13.439
your hands around, just maybe move your fingers a little bit.

3082
08:32:15.880 --> 08:32:22.080
I've been enclosing your hands very gently, just so that

3083
08:32:22.319 --> 08:32:25.959
you can get in touch with.

3084
08:32:26.479 --> 08:32:28.000
How your hands.

3085
08:32:30.040 --> 08:32:50.319
And your fingers feel, very very slow movements. Focusing now

3086
08:32:51.200 --> 08:32:58.439
on your feet, and if you can just do kind

3087
08:32:58.479 --> 08:33:03.479
of an equivalent with your feet you've just done with

3088
08:33:03.639 --> 08:33:12.279
your hands, maybe turning your ankles, moving your feet around,

3089
08:33:14.279 --> 08:33:24.680
moving your toes gently, only very gently and very slowly,

3090
08:33:27.680 --> 08:33:43.080
noticing how your feet feel in this moment. Focusing now

3091
08:33:43.319 --> 08:33:50.520
on your eyes, I'd like you to just focus on

3092
08:33:50.639 --> 08:33:56.400
your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close your eyes

3093
08:33:56.599 --> 08:34:00.959
a couple of times to really get in touch with

3094
08:34:01.799 --> 08:34:06.520
how you feel. When you do close your eyes the

3095
08:34:06.639 --> 08:34:12.880
muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them,

3096
08:34:15.720 --> 08:34:22.119
maybe raising your eyebrows, it stretches the tops of your eyes,

3097
08:34:25.319 --> 08:34:33.759
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes, just so

3098
08:34:33.919 --> 08:34:42.319
you can herely get in touch with all aspects of

3099
08:34:43.479 --> 08:34:47.200
how your eyes feel.

3100
08:34:49.680 --> 08:34:50.159
Right now.

3101
08:34:59.479 --> 08:35:05.520
Now, sin on your thighs, and you know it just

3102
08:35:05.560 --> 08:35:13.919
starts you to gently tense your thighs, just very very gently,

3103
08:35:16.240 --> 08:35:26.919
just enough so you can become more attuned to the

3104
08:35:28.200 --> 08:35:36.680
physical sensation of your upper legs, the front of your thighs,

3105
08:35:36.959 --> 08:35:48.000
in the backs of your thighs, noticing and observing how

3106
08:35:50.319 --> 08:36:05.360
your thighs feel right now, moving your focus to the

3107
08:36:05.479 --> 08:36:12.360
back of your neck, just noticing the back of your neck,

3108
08:36:13.840 --> 08:36:19.119
the muscles, and of course they lead to the side

3109
08:36:19.200 --> 08:36:23.319
of your neck. They also lead to the top of

3110
08:36:23.400 --> 08:36:29.759
your back, which leads to your shoulders. So as your

3111
08:36:30.119 --> 08:36:35.799
focus on the back of your neck, maybe you can

3112
08:36:36.759 --> 08:36:42.279
move your head gently upwards as if you're looking up,

3113
08:36:44.240 --> 08:36:49.880
Maybe moving your head down as if you're looking down.

3114
08:36:53.000 --> 08:36:57.880
Perhaps moving your head side to side, right to left,

3115
08:36:59.680 --> 08:37:11.080
but only very slowly, very gently. I'm not trying to

3116
08:37:11.479 --> 08:37:22.319
force anything. It has to be very very gentle, just

3117
08:37:23.000 --> 08:37:33.759
so you can be more in touch with the feelings,

3118
08:37:35.599 --> 08:37:43.040
with the sensations of the physical sensations of how the

3119
08:37:43.759 --> 08:37:49.279
back of your neck feels right now.

3120
08:37:56.720 --> 08:37:57.119
As we.

3121
08:37:59.080 --> 08:38:07.080
Now, folks, because on the tops of your arms, the

3122
08:38:07.319 --> 08:38:12.080
parts where your biceps and your triceps are between your

3123
08:38:12.159 --> 08:38:20.720
elbow and your shoulders. To focus on those parts, the

3124
08:38:20.919 --> 08:38:27.520
tops of your arms, you may like to just tense

3125
08:38:27.720 --> 08:38:38.479
them but very very gently and slowly. See you know,

3126
08:38:38.919 --> 08:38:50.840
straining or putting any pressure whatsoever on your arms. It's

3127
08:38:51.040 --> 08:38:58.319
just solely you can gain more of a sense of

3128
08:39:00.240 --> 08:39:12.200
how your upper arms are feeling in this moment, just

3129
08:39:12.520 --> 08:39:25.040
noticing as you gently, very gently and slowly tightening the

3130
08:39:25.200 --> 08:39:35.919
muscles and then let go. Notice how the tops of

3131
08:39:36.040 --> 08:39:54.560
your arms feel. Right now, there's a now focus on

3132
08:39:54.759 --> 08:40:01.080
your stomach, the area the lower app too, an area

3133
08:40:01.759 --> 08:40:10.159
below your belly button, moving all the way down to

3134
08:40:10.279 --> 08:40:20.880
your hips, just above your grind. Maybe you're able to

3135
08:40:22.360 --> 08:40:31.159
tense these muscles in that area very very gently.

3136
08:40:34.159 --> 08:40:35.279
And slowly.

3137
08:40:40.919 --> 08:40:45.360
If that's a difficult thing to do, maybe you can

3138
08:40:45.560 --> 08:40:56.200
just move your body, pushing your stomach up, maybe moving

3139
08:40:56.240 --> 08:41:02.080
a little bit to aside, using your hips, just so

3140
08:41:03.840 --> 08:41:12.959
get more in tune with how your lower abdomen area

3141
08:41:16.799 --> 08:41:35.560
is feeling in this moment, just noticing the physical sensations

3142
08:41:38.479 --> 08:41:57.919
or your lower abdomen as. Move your attention to your mouth.

3143
08:42:03.240 --> 08:42:11.520
Notice in your lips, then inside your mouth, your teeth,

3144
08:42:12.560 --> 08:42:28.720
your gums, your tongue, just noticing how your tongue and

3145
08:42:28.799 --> 08:42:38.479
your mouth feels. It may help by moving your tongue

3146
08:42:39.799 --> 08:42:46.799
around your mouth, moving it to your left, maybe pressing

3147
08:42:46.840 --> 08:42:53.560
it gently against the side of your mouth, and then

3148
08:42:54.000 --> 08:42:58.880
to the right, gently to the side of your mouth,

3149
08:43:01.959 --> 08:43:07.479
perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth, and

3150
08:43:07.599 --> 08:43:16.479
then down gently against the bottom of your mouth, always

3151
08:43:17.439 --> 08:43:32.479
very slowly and a very very gentle so that you

3152
08:43:32.680 --> 08:43:48.919
can be aware of how you feel in your mouth area.

3153
08:44:00.240 --> 08:44:20.799
Now got to focus on your wrists. I'm gonna ask

3154
08:44:20.959 --> 08:44:29.560
you to maybe just routine your wrists by moving your

3155
08:44:29.759 --> 08:44:42.639
hands in a circular motion very gently and slowly, just

3156
08:44:44.479 --> 08:45:10.599
soly can feel the sensations you are currently experiencing in purists.

3157
08:45:14.639 --> 08:45:23.200
Perhaps smooth in your hands up and down the game,

3158
08:45:24.479 --> 08:46:04.360
very very chaply and slowly, very chancel and slow. Now

3159
08:46:07.000 --> 08:46:23.240
start to observe lower back. The bad part is just

3160
08:46:23.720 --> 08:46:39.959
above your hips, where your cosix are a whole area

3161
08:46:40.959 --> 08:46:46.599
which also really does include the signs of your body

3162
08:46:48.360 --> 08:46:57.959
because those muscles are very much connected. There's those muscles

3163
08:46:58.880 --> 08:47:05.000
also move into your hip area, connecting too your buttocks

3164
08:47:08.479 --> 08:47:23.159
side of your hips, and if you're physically able to

3165
08:47:23.360 --> 08:47:32.599
do so, maybe you can very gently just move your

3166
08:47:32.720 --> 08:47:49.240
body eviss slightly, very slowly from side to side, just

3167
08:47:49.599 --> 08:48:06.040
enough to e gauge how you feel in your lawer back,

3168
08:48:13.639 --> 08:48:30.159
perhapsly with your hips gently up and down gently slowly,

3169
08:48:33.400 --> 08:48:47.639
in order be in touch with the physical sensations of

3170
08:48:47.880 --> 08:49:17.240
your lawer back. As we know, your attention to your

3171
08:49:17.479 --> 08:49:25.080
jaw an area for your chin all the way up

3172
08:49:26.599 --> 08:49:43.720
to the awa. Your ears are, oh your jaw even

3173
08:49:44.080 --> 08:49:52.880
just if it's okay to do same, Gently open your mouth,

3174
08:49:55.759 --> 08:50:07.400
no wide noe stretcher, just gently and slowly open in

3175
08:50:07.520 --> 08:50:30.200
your mouth, closing your mouth very gently and slowly so

3176
08:50:30.560 --> 08:50:47.479
you can pin touch with how your jaw feels. Now

3177
08:51:14.400 --> 08:51:30.119
like to sit down the chest around you don't need

3178
08:51:30.360 --> 08:51:38.000
to do anything to move your chest because it moves

3179
08:51:38.520 --> 08:51:49.000
every time we breath. It moves very gently.

3180
08:51:50.360 --> 08:51:52.439
And slowly.

3181
08:51:54.200 --> 08:52:13.959
Automatically. With each breath. There's your focus on your chest

3182
08:52:19.119 --> 08:52:58.840
fils when you breathe, live in your focus to your

3183
08:52:59.240 --> 08:53:17.240
form your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently and

3184
08:53:17.959 --> 08:53:29.080
slowly dense the muscles in your forearms, and when you

3185
08:53:29.279 --> 08:53:45.720
do that, you can feel your elbows as well, very

3186
08:53:46.319 --> 08:54:03.439
gently and slowly, gently.

3187
08:54:06.080 --> 08:54:08.119
And softly.

3188
08:54:12.159 --> 08:54:50.759
Saving your forums delpas, make a focus the rest of

3189
08:54:50.840 --> 08:55:04.439
your back, your upper back in the middle, the middle

3190
08:55:04.799 --> 08:55:20.759
your back. Again, this part of your body.

3191
08:55:23.400 --> 08:55:23.799
Moves.

3192
08:55:25.959 --> 08:55:35.639
Also every time you pray. You may not notice that.

3193
08:55:37.880 --> 08:55:49.919
Usually where you observe your upper back in the middle

3194
08:55:50.000 --> 08:56:51.639
of your back, you can really feel that hits your focus.

3195
08:56:53.560 --> 08:57:11.360
Et texts, Boy, there's a muscle at those bones in

3196
08:57:11.400 --> 08:57:52.040
your midsection. Just noticing, how do I hips feel right now?

3197
08:58:02.599 --> 08:58:16.240
Very very gently leave your hips maybe sighed the side

3198
08:58:17.720 --> 08:59:08.560
very gently and so yeah, very gently softly. No, everything

3199
08:59:10.840 --> 08:59:25.319
starts to slow down, including the thoughts in your mind

3200
08:59:27.040 --> 08:59:37.200
and your mind itself just starts to gradually. It doesn't

3201
08:59:37.240 --> 08:59:44.799
have to be instant, but just gradually starting too. It's

3202
08:59:44.840 --> 08:59:53.880
almost like time is storing chin. It's a slower pace

3203
08:59:56.400 --> 09:00:01.560
to maybe what you're used to in your day to

3204
09:00:01.720 --> 09:00:28.400
day life. It's a slower movement of energy, very small

3205
09:00:28.680 --> 09:00:36.720
movements which make up the larger movements, which is always

3206
09:00:36.759 --> 09:00:44.439
the case. Now when you move your hand. It might

3207
09:00:44.599 --> 09:00:48.439
seem like it's one movement, but it's lots of minute

3208
09:00:49.200 --> 09:01:00.279
different muscles moving in accordance with each other. And what

3209
09:01:00.599 --> 09:01:13.040
happens in this space that we're sharing is we move

3210
09:01:13.240 --> 09:01:19.040
from that big.

3211
09:01:23.400 --> 09:01:35.000
Movement into those smaller movements. Starting to focus on.

3212
09:01:40.319 --> 09:01:46.599
How your body feels, not just as a whole, not

3213
09:01:46.840 --> 09:01:52.159
just oh, i'm feeling this way. I'm feeling stressed or tense,

3214
09:01:52.439 --> 09:01:57.840
or I'm feeling relaxed and calm. I'm feeling this way,

3215
09:01:58.000 --> 09:02:04.840
I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice that your body

3216
09:02:09.200 --> 09:02:18.840
begins to present to you small feelings around your body,

3217
09:02:25.360 --> 09:02:37.439
small physical sensations in your legs, whether pleasurable or not.

3218
09:02:42.880 --> 09:02:51.919
Maybe resisting the temptation to label them or to judge

3219
09:02:52.000 --> 09:02:59.479
them those feelings, just thinking them, thinking about them is

3220
09:02:59.599 --> 09:03:17.799
just neutral, just feelings, not being particularly concerned, just noticing

3221
09:03:19.159 --> 09:03:32.680
what your body is telling you. Feelings in your arms,

3222
09:03:35.720 --> 09:03:40.680
instead of feeling the hole of the arm, maybe notice

3223
09:03:40.919 --> 09:03:53.759
those individual feelings, all those different muscles and the skin,

3224
09:03:57.000 --> 09:04:02.720
the hairs of your arms, the all the internal parts

3225
09:04:02.759 --> 09:04:19.000
of your arms, the veins, the bones, Just being aware

3226
09:04:19.159 --> 09:04:27.520
of maybe your elbow on your right arm has a

3227
09:04:27.680 --> 09:04:39.159
certain feeling, maybe your left wrist also has its own

3228
09:04:40.439 --> 09:04:59.880
individual physical sensation. What about your forearm on your right

3229
09:05:02.479 --> 09:05:13.319
you're right for arm. It may not be any particular

3230
09:05:15.279 --> 09:05:23.720
feeling that you could even give a name to, may

3231
09:05:23.799 --> 09:05:29.040
not feel like anything other than just a feeling. You know,

3232
09:05:29.240 --> 09:05:41.680
it's there. The feelings in your shoulders, perhaps your shoulders

3233
09:05:41.759 --> 09:05:45.360
when you think about them, kind of almost like they're

3234
09:05:45.360 --> 09:05:51.959
the same, you know, the same feeling, almost like you

3235
09:05:52.279 --> 09:05:56.880
both of your shoulders are just one thing. Of course

3236
09:05:57.000 --> 09:06:08.319
they're not. And when you focus on your left shoulder

3237
09:06:11.040 --> 09:06:16.199
and then on your right shoulder, maybe find that you

3238
09:06:17.599 --> 09:06:18.000
move the.

3239
09:06:18.120 --> 09:06:30.279
Muscles a little bit, maybe tense the muscles gently, noticing the.

3240
09:06:30.360 --> 09:07:01.599
Difference in each shoulder. Your lower back, the left side

3241
09:07:01.720 --> 09:07:05.319
of your lower back and the right side of your

3242
09:07:05.400 --> 09:07:17.559
lower back of course that connection to your buttocks and

3243
09:07:17.720 --> 09:07:29.639
to your hips, and also moving up into the middle

3244
09:07:29.680 --> 09:07:43.599
of your back. And sometimes like right now, actually when

3245
09:07:43.639 --> 09:07:47.239
I focus on their part, when I focused on my

3246
09:07:47.360 --> 09:07:53.480
buttocks and then I focused on the middle of my back,

3247
09:07:53.879 --> 09:07:56.639
it almost felt like the muscles in my lower back

3248
09:07:56.720 --> 09:08:06.559
were being stretched very gently, just stretched a little bit,

3249
09:08:08.519 --> 09:08:15.279
even though I wasn't doing anything to try to stretch

3250
09:08:17.279 --> 09:08:21.599
your lower back it just seemed to happen. The feeling

3251
09:08:22.279 --> 09:08:42.279
of very gently stretching your lower back comes along. I

3252
09:08:42.360 --> 09:09:07.199
have feeling in your chest, just noticing what sensations you

3253
09:09:07.919 --> 09:09:24.919
are experiencing in your chest right now. And there's so

3254
09:09:25.160 --> 09:09:29.559
much of the chest. Obviously, there's the collar bone leading

3255
09:09:29.760 --> 09:09:36.160
to the chest. You've got the chest bone, You've got

3256
09:09:36.199 --> 09:09:44.319
the muscles in your chest. Of course, if you're female,

3257
09:09:45.000 --> 09:09:52.199
there's possibly the breasts. If you're male, you've got the

3258
09:09:55.040 --> 09:10:00.599
different well why not that different these days, but there

3259
09:10:00.680 --> 09:10:05.839
may be more muscles at the top of the chest,

3260
09:10:09.239 --> 09:10:13.519
but at the side underneath it's pretty much the same.

3261
09:10:14.279 --> 09:10:17.360
Whether you're a man or a woman. There's muscles there,

3262
09:10:18.720 --> 09:10:23.839
muscles that stretch out to your back as well as

3263
09:10:23.919 --> 09:10:32.519
breast tissue stretches and moves into your back. To just

3264
09:10:32.639 --> 09:10:52.199
being aware of your chest, being with whatever feeling there

3265
09:10:52.360 --> 09:11:12.440
is in your chest. When I noticed that, I focused

3266
09:11:12.519 --> 09:11:20.199
on my chest. I feel it in my back and

3267
09:11:20.279 --> 09:11:24.360
my upper back. And mean, I guess the obvious reason

3268
09:11:24.400 --> 09:11:34.440
would be because you know, I'm breathe in in and

3269
09:11:34.599 --> 09:11:38.160
it stretches my chest and my back at the same time.

3270
09:11:46.080 --> 09:12:01.319
It feels it feels okay, it doesn't feel I got

3271
09:12:01.360 --> 09:12:07.599
a little bit of pain in my right chest, a

3272
09:12:07.680 --> 09:12:13.760
little bit not pain, but little discomfort, maybe stiffness possibly,

3273
09:12:14.319 --> 09:12:23.480
I don't know. Notice my shoulders are also wanting to

3274
09:12:25.800 --> 09:12:30.480
flex for some reason. I think that's probably part of

3275
09:12:30.680 --> 09:12:38.959
my upper back, that connection between my shoulders and my

3276
09:12:39.120 --> 09:12:44.599
upper back, because I can move my shoulders and stretch

3277
09:12:44.760 --> 09:12:52.199
the muscles in my back, moving the shoulders backwards or up,

3278
09:12:54.239 --> 09:13:00.599
which then moves. I think it's the scapulous in your back.

3279
09:13:10.639 --> 09:13:18.680
It feels quite nice. Actually, good thing about this is

3280
09:13:18.800 --> 09:13:27.400
you can, if you want to, you can just flex

3281
09:13:28.120 --> 09:13:40.120
or stimulate the various muscles in your body gently in

3282
09:13:40.319 --> 09:13:44.160
order to get more of a sense of how they feel.

3283
09:13:51.480 --> 09:13:59.239
And when you're relaxing, when you do tense and muscle

3284
09:14:00.760 --> 09:14:03.319
and you let it go and you let it relax,

3285
09:14:04.519 --> 09:14:16.800
it relaxes way more than it would normally. That you

3286
09:14:16.959 --> 09:14:18.919
have to feel.

3287
09:14:20.680 --> 09:14:24.239
That you're able to do that. There's no point in

3288
09:14:24.360 --> 09:14:25.599
doing it if there's.

3289
09:14:26.599 --> 09:14:34.199
An issue with the per part of your body. You

3290
09:14:34.360 --> 09:14:43.559
need to be gentle with yourself at all times when

3291
09:14:43.680 --> 09:15:02.599
relaxing deeply. It's important to be kind to yourself. As

3292
09:15:02.680 --> 09:15:12.000
you notice your mind, how much has your mind slowed down?

3293
09:15:14.360 --> 09:15:40.959
Since we started this recording. How come and peaceful is

3294
09:15:41.000 --> 09:15:50.760
your mind right now? We have nothing to think about

3295
09:15:53.319 --> 09:16:00.480
and just my voice to listen to. As you know,

3296
09:16:01.000 --> 09:16:11.959
the intention behind this recording this relaxation. At the very least,

3297
09:16:13.559 --> 09:16:18.080
for you to feel more relaxed at the end of

3298
09:16:18.120 --> 09:16:26.360
the recording than you did at the beginning, at the

3299
09:16:26.559 --> 09:16:38.160
very least, for your mind to slow down as your

3300
09:16:38.319 --> 09:16:54.639
body continues to relax, because that's what you want to happen.

3301
09:16:58.639 --> 09:17:17.000
That's what you expect to happen, a relaxation to fill

3302
09:17:19.639 --> 09:17:32.559
your body, maybe calm in your mind to the point

3303
09:17:32.760 --> 09:18:06.319
of boredom. When you start maybe to drift away dreading,

3304
09:18:19.959 --> 09:18:29.599
it's almost as if you're moving further away from a

3305
09:18:29.760 --> 09:18:34.760
body in your mind, just leaving.

3306
09:18:34.480 --> 09:18:46.480
That there, kind of liking it an escape pod and

3307
09:18:46.559 --> 09:18:50.919
a spaceship a movie, a space movie, you know when

3308
09:18:50.959 --> 09:18:51.639
it gets.

3309
09:18:51.440 --> 09:18:57.760
A little part in it, since the man far Away

3310
09:18:58.160 --> 09:20:52.480
from the spaceship six three two. Drifting a peace, peace

3311
09:21:13.720 --> 09:21:28.160
and focusing on that feeling of those individual parts of

3312
09:21:28.279 --> 09:21:46.959
your body that's relaxing. One by one. You may find

3313
09:21:47.519 --> 09:22:00.599
that every now and then you realize that you are

3314
09:22:01.120 --> 09:22:04.440
listening to my voice.

3315
09:22:06.760 --> 09:22:07.440
Be give your.

3316
09:22:07.440 --> 09:22:21.319
Mind started to imagine something different, maybe started to almost

3317
09:22:22.839 --> 09:22:32.279
move into some kind of a dream state. And then

3318
09:22:32.319 --> 09:22:39.040
you become aware of my voice again. And even though

3319
09:22:39.279 --> 09:22:45.879
you may want to focus on my voice, you may

3320
09:22:46.080 --> 09:22:57.319
also wish to allow your mind to just drift naturally

3321
09:23:00.800 --> 09:23:14.480
into that space and comfort and safety. As you feel

3322
09:23:22.000 --> 09:23:30.720
more warm or comfort spreading through your body like a

3323
09:23:30.959 --> 09:23:45.360
warm blanket covering you gently, keeping your body it just

3324
09:23:48.400 --> 09:24:11.199
perfect temperature. Yeah, if you can hear background sounds, they

3325
09:24:11.360 --> 09:24:23.559
just don't seem to matter anymore. That's that sense of

3326
09:24:26.319 --> 09:24:43.160
peace spreads through your mind like a gentle grease, yet

3327
09:24:43.319 --> 09:24:55.800
strong enough to blow away all negativity, strong enough to

3328
09:24:59.199 --> 09:25:09.360
remove from your mind any anxiety or stress that was

3329
09:25:09.559 --> 09:25:24.599
there before, and blow away any other thoughts or feelings

3330
09:25:24.879 --> 09:25:50.480
stand just don't fit with the sense relaxation that is

3331
09:25:50.720 --> 09:25:54.559
feeling your body.

3332
09:25:59.239 --> 09:25:59.959
And your mind.

3333
09:26:14.800 --> 09:26:20.040
Un As you focus on your mind and count down

3334
09:26:20.199 --> 09:26:31.040
from ten down to one of each number, your mind.

3335
09:26:33.800 --> 09:26:34.599
Will be up.

3336
09:26:40.440 --> 09:27:00.800
Slightly m hm, relaxed, just just slightly so dead to nine,

3337
09:27:01.599 --> 09:27:09.040
just a slight movement, nine down to eight, just another

3338
09:27:10.959 --> 09:27:25.720
small change in how you feel. Eight down to seven.

3339
09:27:28.519 --> 09:27:33.919
That feeling is a gap, almost like a gap that

3340
09:27:34.279 --> 09:27:43.959
starts to get wider, the gap between those feelings that

3341
09:27:44.160 --> 09:27:51.080
you used to have in your mind compared to the

3342
09:27:51.239 --> 09:27:58.760
feelings you have, the growing now feedings of comfort and

3343
09:27:59.040 --> 09:28:10.319
security and confidence, and the gap become the wider. Eight

3344
09:28:10.440 --> 09:28:17.599
down to seven, seven, down to six. When you get

3345
09:28:17.680 --> 09:28:24.720
to five, the mind or start to have a certain

3346
09:28:26.120 --> 09:28:37.720
physical sensation, most like there's a magnet outside of your

3347
09:28:37.800 --> 09:28:46.360
head sucking attention and the stress and any remaining feelings

3348
09:28:46.680 --> 09:28:52.120
that you don't want, sucking them out through your skull,

3349
09:28:57.839 --> 09:29:02.919
and a down to four you can start to really

3350
09:29:03.599 --> 09:29:17.120
experience that sense of not just emptiness, but space, place

3351
09:29:17.360 --> 09:29:29.199
full of fresh air, place where you can stretch. It's

3352
09:29:29.239 --> 09:29:32.480
almost as if as you go down to four and

3353
09:29:32.800 --> 09:29:38.639
three your mind is expanding with this sense.

3354
09:29:41.239 --> 09:29:42.599
Of peace.

3355
09:29:43.959 --> 09:29:46.639
And tranquility growing.

3356
09:29:48.879 --> 09:29:50.480
As it moves down to.

3357
09:29:54.040 --> 09:30:01.360
When you get to one, in your mind just feels

3358
09:30:02.639 --> 09:30:19.639
exactly how you want to feel, almost perfect feeling, maybe

3359
09:30:19.800 --> 09:30:24.239
a sensation that.

3360
09:30:25.839 --> 09:30:27.279
You'd like to keep.

3361
09:30:30.279 --> 09:30:41.080
A place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,

3362
09:30:52.760 --> 09:30:59.279
and you can stay in that that space of confort, confidence,

3363
09:31:02.000 --> 09:31:08.879
confident in your own ability to create this space and

3364
09:31:09.040 --> 09:31:16.160
this fear and comfort within your own mind. Just by

3365
09:31:16.360 --> 09:31:18.400
counting ten.

3366
09:31:19.959 --> 09:31:20.680
Down to one.

3367
09:31:25.239 --> 09:31:28.599
And this is something that you can do yourself.

3368
09:31:29.599 --> 09:31:36.680
When you're on your own, a time when you can

3369
09:31:36.800 --> 09:31:40.120
maybe sit down, maybe just for a few.

3370
09:31:40.000 --> 09:31:53.160
Minutes, close your eyes, just count slowly from ten.

3371
09:31:55.800 --> 09:31:56.559
Down to one.

3372
09:32:01.639 --> 09:32:07.720
Experience these feelings in your mind.

3373
09:32:13.599 --> 09:32:18.000
And when you feel that way in your mind, your.

3374
09:32:17.959 --> 09:32:32.519
Body copies your mind, and the feeling is spread through

3375
09:32:32.720 --> 09:32:39.839
your spine and your nervous system into every part of

3376
09:32:39.959 --> 09:32:53.279
your body, travels through your bloodstream, heathing and relaxing.

3377
09:32:54.720 --> 09:32:58.120
Every article of your existence.

3378
09:33:10.839 --> 09:33:19.919
The count. We can practice this a few times before

3379
09:33:20.000 --> 09:33:21.959
the end of the recording, and.

3380
09:33:22.040 --> 09:33:22.720
Then you can.

3381
09:33:24.080 --> 09:33:29.800
Brak this on your own. And each time you count

3382
09:33:29.959 --> 09:33:30.760
for ten.

3383
09:33:31.639 --> 09:33:41.639
Out of one, the feelings of comforts, calms.

3384
09:33:42.440 --> 09:33:43.000
Deep.

3385
09:33:44.800 --> 09:34:04.879

Ten down to one.

3390
09:34:44.319 --> 09:34:48.440
Do now, I will count from ten down to one.

09:37:23.080 --> 09:37:31.400
like to have more more space between the numbers, let

3409
09:37:31.440 --> 09:37:37.760

3410
09:37:38.239 --> 09:37:40.000
