00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:12.800
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:29.960
Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safety close rise. Yeah,

3
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.039
I was just out with Finny, giving him a bit

4
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:46.039
of a walk, you know, as you do, and he

5
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.520
was doing a pooh. I can't believe it's starting the

6
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.520
podcast by talking about pooh. Yeah, I know it was

7
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:03.840
funny because well maybe not for him, he but he

8
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:09.560
gave he had how to explain this in all what

9
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:22.719
heather doesn't sound weird. Basically, he he got stuck and

10
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.480
you couldn't like release it. She was running around trying

11
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.799
to let it go. But it turned out it was

12
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:36.480
one big, massive, long piece of grass that he'd eating

13
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.519
and not digested. De sided to help him to get

14
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:49.000
it out, which was weird. And it's strange because as

15
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:50.879
soon as I as soon as he got it out,

16
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:55.680
as soon as you know, he's released it, full of energy,

17
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.920
jumping around, attacking my feet. You know, it's like I've

18
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.079
got a new Lisa life. But he keeps eating grass

19
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.879
and he loves grass, and he's had this happen a

20
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.039
couple of times, but it's very rare, but each grass,

21
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:16.240
every day, it's one of his favoritest things in the

22
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:25.080
whole wide world. I'm not sure why. I'm not sure.

23
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:37.840
Today I didn't visit Uncle Sausages today, but I've spoken

24
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.759
to him a few times on the phone and it's

25
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:48.719
getting it's getting. Yeah, I'm a little bit. I'm just

26
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.240
getting a bit confused at what's going on there with

27
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:57.280
him and what he's talking about sometimes. But he wanted

28
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.240
to go in today, but I couldn't be because I

29
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.599
did my laundry last night and my clothes were not dry.

30
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.400
I'm not going to go out in wet clothes. And

31
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.039
also I'm not going to go out in dirty clothes either,

32
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:15.560
So not in public. It doesn't matter if I'm just

33
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.800
going to the park and taking this one out, but

34
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:24.199
I'm not going to go out public facing as it were.

35
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.039
Does that make sense. I'm not wanting to get on

36
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.800
public transport or get into a taxi or go into

37
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:38.800
a hospital with stains on my trousers. Perhaps I should

38
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.479
explain what I mean by stains on my trousers on

39
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.000
the front. Now. It doesn't make it sound any better,

40
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.360
does it. Just you know, I'm a bit I can

41
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:54.680
be a bit of a messy eater sometimes and the

42
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.960
other day. But a couple of weeks ago, I had

43
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.719
fish and chips. It was just abortion ships actually, and

44
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.560
I put a load of tomato ketchup on the paper.

45
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:13.680
There was, you know, from a chip dan, and I'm

46
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.800
meeting the chips and everything's fine. I wrap up the

47
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.519
paper to go and put it back in the carrier

48
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.560
bag that it came in, and whole thing just collapsed

49
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:31.639
on my lap because the tomato ketchup had soaked through

50
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.480
the paper and broken through, and I just my whole

51
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:43.920
lap was covered in all kinds of weird colors, most

52
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:48.800
of them weren't there to start with. And it's just like,

53
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:52.399
I can't wear these tomorrow. I can't wear these are

54
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.160
the few the wedd inside the Wow, I just move on.

55
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:02.600
I can't wear these in public. Yeah, I'm trying to

56
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:11.560
at least make an effort. I mean I've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

57
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:20.800
seven pairs of tracksuit bombs, all the same. So I

58
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.240
imagine people that see me regularly, you know, walking his

59
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.480
ladyship down there or that's about it really, so they

60
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.959
probably maybe they think I'm just wearing the same stuff

61
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.839
every day, the same pair of tracksuit bombs every single day,

62
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:48.240
and usually I don't, well, sometimes I don't. So maybe

63
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.480
I need to kind of mix up a little bit

64
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.519
and get some more, get some different colored ones, maybe

65
00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:06.600
some stripey ones, yellow, what's that sickly green yellow, illuminous bogie.

66
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.240
You're kind of like bogey flavored ones. Yeah, maybe get

67
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:18.920
some of that and look ridiculous. I just think i'd

68
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.079
look silly and something like that. I'm sure other people

69
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.680
can put it off, but I don't think. I don't

70
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:31.079
think I could. No. Plus, I don't really want to

71
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.800
stand out. I don't want nus. I don't want people

72
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:43.199
to notice me anymore than they would any you know normally. Hmmm.

73
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:49.000
So I'm visited him, I'm visiting him tomorrow Uncle's sausages.

74
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:54.920
And I just don't know what to expect, what's gonna

75
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.639
what's going to happen next, just being a little bit

76
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:07.680
drama drama, drama, drama, And you know, I'm not a

77
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:12.800
medical professional, so I don't really understand if it's to

78
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:17.759
do with ways in hospital, or it's if there's more

79
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:22.519
to it. I don't know. I really don't know. What

80
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.319
I do know is I don't know how to deal

81
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:31.040
with it. That's if I'm being completely honest, I don't know.

82
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:37.040
You know, I'm not not as relative. I can't. I

83
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.439
can't take on the role of his son because I'm not,

84
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:46.120
and because in that situation I would get more involved.

85
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.639
If it was my dad and he was saying the

86
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:55.279
same things, I would get heavily involved in. I'm not

87
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.600
in a bad way, but I would be involved in

88
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:04.560
every aspect of his care whilst he's in hospital. You know,

89
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.800
I kind of want to know everything, what medication is,

90
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:13.519
why is on the medication, you know what you know, prognosis,

91
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.399
and just everything. Really, I imagine I'll be quite annoying.

92
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.959
I'll be very annoying some but then ask my dad

93
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:29.240
and he'll tell you who I am. Anyway, So hey

94
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.080
on that one. My dad's doing all right. He said

95
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.840
he's in his third week of treatment as well, so

96
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.639
he's called him up at the weekend. He said he's

97
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.840
doing okay. He'll be tired, but he's doing all right,

98
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.679
so that's good. He's got another week left after this week,

99
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.240
that'll be his four week. Four weeks of treatment done,

100
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:59.240
so hopefully the results will come in that everything's kind

101
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:06.519
of hopefully things will be slid, not as much information

102
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:07.960
as I'm going to go into on that one. But

103
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:18.279
you know, I went into uncle Sausages flat today because

104
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.279
he asked me to go in there to find something

105
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.840
for him. I couldn't find it. What I did find

106
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:35.519
was thousands of magazines, No, like sported magazines, not sporting

107
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:45.559
illustrated No. And it was because he's absolutely obsessed with

108
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:55.120
sport football football mainly, then cricket, rugby, golf. They seem

109
00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:02.679
to be his four main sports. Say he's got magazines

110
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:09.200
from years ago, twenty years ago, programmed for football matches

111
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.600
that he's attended, all kinds of stuff like that. So

112
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.639
if he's if he wants to go home and have

113
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:28.200
home care, realistically, he's going to have to get rid

114
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.720
of a lot of stuff before there's even going to

115
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.559
be room to have, you know, home care coming in

116
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.960
because the place is is a collector. I don't I

117
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.759
don't want to use the word order, but he's a collector,

118
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:45.919
and in some ways I kind of wish that I'd

119
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:50.279
collected more stuff. You know, I Mentionine how cool it

120
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.480
would be to be able to just say, well, you

121
00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:00.279
know what I went to where I went to see

122
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.440
who was it? I went to see, Oh that theater

123
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:09.200
show in the nineties with Aide Edmondson and Rick Mao

124
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.799
and waiting for God dot when was that? Was it

125
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.120
ninety two or was it ninety three? And I could

126
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:21.600
literally go back and find the ticket stub or have

127
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:26.720
the program from that evening and I find out it

128
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:33.919
was it was ninety four lays ninety three, so oh oh,

129
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:41.840
I see. And I kind of wished I had all

130
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.360
everything I've ever owned since I was a kid, including

131
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.679
all the toys I had when I was a kid.

132
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.879
I kind of wish I had all of it, every

133
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.000
single book I've ever read, every single book I've owned.

134
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:05.879
I've not read every book I've owned, but every DVD,

135
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:16.840
every videotape. I mean, there wouldn't be enough room. I'd

136
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:22.159
struggle to fit it inside this building. Probably, you know,

137
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.879
all six flats I probably need. I'd need at least

138
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.840
poor at least I've really need at least one flat

139
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.919
just for the books. Possibly two flats for the books

140
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.639
if there was around the walls, because there's two rooms

141
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:45.039
in each flat, our bedroom and living room. Because it's

142
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:53.600
thousands upon thousands and thousands of books. Yeah, Wow, how

143
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.840
cool would that be to say I want to go

144
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.759
into the book and go into my library. I think

145
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.120
I'll go into how many libraries you've got, Oh, I've

146
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.639
got one for each year, and like, I'm going to

147
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:12.320
go to my childhood library all the books I had

148
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:22.720
between you know, seven and sixteen for example, you know,

149
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.000
all that period when I was at school, and just

150
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:28.639
go through all the different books that I used to own,

151
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.720
and then add all the books that I read from

152
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:37.360
the library as well, because that's another well a few

153
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:47.879
hundred I suppose, Wow, that'd be cool. And then have

154
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:53.360
all the movies that I've purchased over the years, but

155
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.559
then maybe have all the movies that I've ever seen.

156
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.960
Can you imagine if all of us did that, we

157
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:06.559
had all the movies on DVD that we've ever seen

158
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.159
in our life, whether it was on TV, at the cinema,

159
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:19.080
on DVD or streamed you know, Netflix, Amazon, wherever. Can

160
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.679
you mentionine how many movies we've all seen each the

161
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:32.159
thousands and thousands of movies, I mean multiple thousands of

162
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:49.840
hours watching films or films. Yeah, that'd be cool, But

163
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.840
then I think some things I wouldn't really want, like

164
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.799
old equipment, that wouldn't you know, like old TVs, TVs

165
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.240
I haven't used for forty years when I don't what

166
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.639
would be the point in that other than a nostalgic

167
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:13.559
kind of trip to see all the different TVs I've had,

168
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:19.080
because I've probably had a few over the years. When

169
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.759
I've had a few over the years, one two, three,

170
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:27.279
four or five, six, seven, I don't know, ten twenty probably,

171
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:35.000
And then all the seats I've had, all the different

172
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:42.519
beds I've slept in, all the socks I've had, and

173
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:52.840
all the underwear, which brings me to Trivia Tuesday. I

174
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:58.360
forgot what it was. Trivia Tuesday. Trivia Tuesday, Trivia Tuesday.

175
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:06.759
We're going to talk about underwear. Underwear. So I found

176
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:13.440
one hundred historical facts about underwear. So here we go.

177
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:23.440
Before we continue, I'd just like to apologize in advance

178
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:32.879
for any information that's incorrect, because there may be. There

179
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:39.000
may not be, but there may be, And I'm okay

180
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:46.440
with that. I don't mind, not really, not really, but

181
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:48.879
I'm not going to fact check anything. I'm just going

182
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.120
to read out the hundred that I found. So the

183
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.080
first one is oh and it's the first one. So

184
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:06.960
the first canone underwear dates back over seven thousand years,

185
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:16.640
made from leather and worn like a loincloth. Who shouts that?

186
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:25.640
M from Anne Summers maybe number two. Ancient Egyptians wore

187
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:32.039
a linen garment called a shinty, singular to a loin cloth.

188
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.240
I wonder how many times the word loincloth is going

189
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:44.599
to be used during this here a particular recording. I

190
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:52.240
don't know. I really don't know. Roman men wore a

191
00:17:52.519 --> 00:18:12.599
cloth wrap named a sublygaculum under their tunics. I suppose

192
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:18.200
it makes sense, doesn't it? Because yeah, if you wear

193
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.680
in a tunic, which is basically a little skirt, isn't it,

194
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:28.240
and you're going to want to keep the I mean,

195
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.400
I suppose you're going to want to keep parts warm.

196
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:43.079
Maybe hmm? If you ever worn a woolen underwear? Is

197
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.960
there any such thing as woolen underwear? You know, like

198
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.680
wool that you make a hat out of, or gloves

199
00:18:51.000 --> 00:19:01.480
wooly gloves? A pitchy, wouldn't it? Right? Nights wore padded

200
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:15.000
underwear called Gamberson's under armor armor? Are more padded underwear?

201
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.839
Were they showing off? Pretended there was more there than

202
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:27.079
there was? Typical medieval night? Oh yeah, Queen Elizabeth had

203
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:33.319
her underwear washed once every few weeks considered hygienic, then

204
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:44.880
once every few weeks. That's the thing, you know, you

205
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.559
sort of sometimes I don't know about you, but I

206
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.640
think what it'd be like to go back in time

207
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.200
and meet some of the some of the beautiful people

208
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.319
from the past, you know, you know, hundreds of years ago.

209
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:08.599
But the fact is that stink. Wouldn't they absolutely stink

210
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:13.240
if you went back two hundred years, even three hundred

211
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:17.799
years when they didn't even know people didn't even use soap.

212
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.440
There was a time when people didn't use soap. They

213
00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:23.599
just put perfume on themselves, thinking that if they got

214
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:33.119
rid of the stench, then they'd cleaned themselves quite smelly.

215
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.759
In the Victorian era, underwear was referred to as unmentionables.

216
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:51.279
I remember hearing that term when I was a kid, Margine,

217
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.240
that was just about my underwear. Yeah, everyone else's was

218
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:58.839
just called underpants. Mind was just unmentionables. It was like

219
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.400
code for j since underwear, we need to get into

220
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:07.319
a doctor find out what's going on. Of course it's

221
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:13.279
in the eighteen hundreds, sometimes caused fainting due to restricted breathing,

222
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:27.160
It's worth it, though, wasn't it? It's worth it? Does

223
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:32.640
anyone wear spandex? I saw a picture of someone now

224
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:39.279
a day wearing spandex and they looked slim, and then

225
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:43.920
they took the spandex off and they weren't slim. So

226
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:49.359
I thought, maybe I'll start wearing some spandex because I'll

227
00:21:49.440 --> 00:22:00.400
look I don't know, I just look slimmer. Maybe a girdle, oh,

228
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:07.279
a nice little girdle or dricken. It isn't a girdle,

229
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.359
just a corset. Isn't this another thing? Another name for corset?

230
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:20.839
I quite like corsets, but they are restrictive and they

231
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:24.279
take ages to do up, and it's kind of it's

232
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:28.200
a two man job, isn't it. How do you Because

233
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.440
it's not like a bra where you can just put

234
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.519
the bra on backwards and then just turn it around.

235
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:38.799
You can't really do that with a corset. It's definitely

236
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.920
you need you need another you need four hands for

237
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:49.400
a cult corset. Yeah. I know a lot about corsets.

238
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:56.720
For some reason, causes cor fate, cause fainting. But it's

239
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:03.480
worth it. Wow, that is so sexist. The word lingery

240
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:10.799
or lingerie comes from the French word ling or long

241
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:17.160
meaning linen. I do apologize if you can hear the

242
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:23.240
the gobbies in the garden rare rah rah rah rare

243
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:31.240
rh rra right ray rare rare rare rare. It's nothing

244
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.559
I can do about it. And now is the tree's

245
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:38.640
being cut down, so it's even louder. Now the tree

246
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.279
seemed to muffle it a little bit. I think they

247
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.720
probably wanted the tree cut down so because they could

248
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:52.519
weren't able to get the loudness that they required. Possibly

249
00:23:55.119 --> 00:24:01.319
men didn't start wearing underpants with legs until the nineteen twenties.

250
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:09.200
How would it work if it didn't have legs? What

251
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:14.039
there was just you're gonna have to explain this to me.

252
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:20.640
So it was just basically you could put them on

253
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:25.799
anyway and it'd be the same. You could put them

254
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.240
on over your head and just put them down your body.

255
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:33.200
And what would be the point. Well, I suppose it

256
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.559
would stop the front pit, but what about the It

257
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.599
wouldn't catch anything. No, I'm not saying underwear its deffit

258
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:55.799
to catch stuff. Wow, But you know the bra wasn't

259
00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:03.440
patented until nineteen fourteen by Mary Phelps Jacob I wonder why.

260
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.359
I was going to do a hundred facts on Bras,

261
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:14.599
but I thought I don't have that. That might be

262
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.440
a bit of a weird thing for a man to

263
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.039
be talking about, so I decided I'd do it next week.

264
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:30.000
I wonder how much Mary Phelps Jacob made out of

265
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:38.079
that patent. I'm pretty sure bras have been around a

266
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:45.359
long time as well, because I mean, I mean, I

267
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.960
didn't ask my name about bras, but I assume she

268
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.680
had a BRA when she was young, and she was

269
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:57.279
born in the eighteen hundreds or something. I just assumed

270
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:03.839
they've been around for hundreds of years. So this is

271
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:12.039
materials and design facts. Cotton is the most commonly used

272
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:17.359
fabric for underwear. It's brievable, isn't it. I think that's

273
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:21.519
what it is. Breva, you know, wants something like leather.

274
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.200
I wouldn't be obviously all worn leather lever underpans, haven't

275
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:33.160
we It's it looks nice, but it doesn't feel so

276
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:40.599
nice personally. It's like leather trousers I wore. I bought

277
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:48.720
some leather trousers when I was about sixty, and I

278
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.799
got them on. There was there was they were popular

279
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.359
at the time. Not my particular leather trousers, but in

280
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:58.000
general it was kind of a bit of a fashion.

281
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.799
But there was a technique where people would be put

282
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:09.559
towl compowder on their legs or inside the inside leg

283
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:13.039
before putting them on, so then that they could get

284
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:20.559
them off easier. I didn't do that. I got confused.

285
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:26.119
I thought they said super glue. So yeah, I'm still

286
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:36.319
wearing them. It's very uncomfortable. Uncomfortable just in every aspect.

287
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:45.680
No comfort. I mean, I suppose it's quite good if

288
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:50.240
you want to show off your bump, but other than that,

289
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.720
or legs, I mean I was pretty much had skinny

290
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:06.000
legs anyway, but no lever lever trousers. No tried five ones,

291
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.119
and there were also ones that you'd shrink and they

292
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.599
are practically impossible to get off. What's this about?

293
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:16.920
Why?

294
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:30.000
Someone tell me why? Right? Bamboo is an increasingly popular

295
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:40.640
fabric for eco friendly pants. Really? Okay?

296
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:41.319
So?

297
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:54.039
Really? So we find a bear, we find a bear

298
00:28:55.200 --> 00:29:06.079
that actually will not hurt human, the panda bear. They're

299
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:09.920
lovely and they won't hurt human. Then what do we do?

300
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:16.319
We make clothes out of the polar not polar bear?

301
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:21.079
What is it? Not? Corola bear? Panda bear. The panda

302
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:25.440
bear eats bamboo. So basically, if you walk past the

303
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:28.880
panda bear now and you've got trousers on and a

304
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:32.000
t shirt made of bamboo, it's just going to see

305
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.240
a tree, isn't it. Im not going to see a

306
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:40.960
human anymore. Doesn't seem like a good idea, you might argue, Yeah,

307
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.279
but how often do you see a panda bear walking

308
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.319
down the street fair enough that it definitely is an

309
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:51.480
argument on there. And yeah, I've never seen a panda

310
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:55.519
bear yet. But wouldn't it be just your luck, you know,

311
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:59.599
be decided to kick yourself up in a new bamboo.

312
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:06.720
So turn a corner and there's mister panda minding his

313
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:16.559
own business. Suddenly feels peckish. Mmmmm, No, gotta be careful.

314
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:23.559
I've never even heard of that before. Bamboo being used

315
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:32.200
for clothes anyone else. Some underwear is made from model,

316
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.519
never heard of that before. A material made from beach leaves.

317
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:47.839
Beach leaves, I suppose if it's shredded and tied together correctly,

318
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:51.519
I suppose it doesn't really matter what you use. You

319
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:58.839
could use paper, couldn't you know? You could use wiring?

320
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:02.640
You could you could copper wire, and I suppose if

321
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:06.240
you wanted to. I'm not sure how that would work.

322
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:17.440
But underwear with silver threads helps reduce odor. Now you

323
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.279
tell me, why do I have to wait till I'm

324
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:23.480
fifty four before I learned about this underwear with silver threads?

325
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:46.880
Can you hear that's someone shouting in the garden bless

326
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:59.759
them and silver threads? What that's about? I'm gonn understand.

327
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:06.640
Maybe silver threads keep away vampires, wouldn't it well, at

328
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:11.640
least the vampires wouldn't bite you down there? In fact,

329
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:15.880
that would be quite good for vampires, wouldn't it. Not

330
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:24.279
for vampires, but for the people. Have silver threads in

331
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.240
all your clothing and you could walk around at night

332
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:32.279
and have no problems, no vampires. And you might argue, well,

333
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:35.359
when's the last time you saw a vampire? You don't

334
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:37.799
have to be so combative with me. You don't have

335
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:41.200
to try and always argue, just you know, just let's

336
00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:44.400
just chill out and move through to the next one.

337
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:54.480
The elastic waistband was invented in the nineteen thirties. Elastic waistband,

338
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.720
So how was it kept inn? I mean, how did

339
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:08.799
they keep up before? Because I've I've had underwear in

340
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:12.160
the past where the elastic band, you know, the waistband

341
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:16.200
has snapped or just loosened to the point of no return.

342
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:22.000
That's just basically wearing underpants and put it on weight

343
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.319
and not accepting the fact that I was getting bigger.

344
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:32.440
And then they stop, They just stop working the elastic

345
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:37.759
and they do fall down, maybe not all the way down.

346
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:42.839
You know, I'm not walking. I walk home and take

347
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:46.319
my trousers off and my underpants from you know, my ankles.

348
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:54.759
It can feel a little bit uncomfortable. Or every time

349
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:57.759
I take my trousers off, the underpants fall down with

350
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:02.039
me or with the trousers, which can be a bit annoying,

351
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:08.119
especially when you're trying to change in public, because it's okay,

352
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:11.119
you know, if you're on a train, you're on the

353
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:18.119
railway whatever bit waiting for training on the what do

354
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:25.000
you call it, I don't know. It's a bit of

355
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:28.920
concrete that you're waiting for a train for in the station,

356
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:37.360
and Benny, can you make a bit more noise please? Thanks?

357
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:42.920
And sometimes you need to change your trousers, don't you.

358
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.920
But my theory is, well, as long as you're underpants

359
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.039
are on you're not really causing a kerfuffle. It's not

360
00:34:52.360 --> 00:35:00.400
really It's not really exhibitionism, is it. If you've got

361
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:04.280
your underpants on. That's why if you, you know, if

362
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:06.880
you decide if you're plan to change your trousers and

363
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:11.639
take them off in a public space, make sure that

364
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:14.760
there's elastic in your underwear. Of wise, you can get

365
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:32.440
accused of inappropriate behavior. Tag tagless underwear was first sorry

366
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:42.000
myself laugh. Tagless underwear was first mass produced in the

367
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:49.199
two thousands. What does that even mean? Tagless underwear? What's

368
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:59.719
tagless underwear? Oh? Undertap underwear? About tags on and that

369
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:05.639
the thing at the back which is uncomfortable and scratchy. Yeah,

370
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.159
I never understood why they had tags on to start with.

371
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:13.280
Have tags on the outside. No one can see the outside, unless,

372
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:17.679
of course, you're walking around with your trousers or your

373
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:27.079
jeans hanging down to your knees, which just looks see.

374
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:31.239
Even when I was young, I don't know if I

375
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:36.079
could have done that, even if it was the only

376
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:41.079
way to get noticed by a female is to walk

377
00:36:41.159 --> 00:36:48.800
around with my underpants showing and literally having to keep

378
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:52.840
pulling up my trousers or my jeans because they were

379
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:57.880
constantly falling down, and I could never run because I'd

380
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:00.480
fall down to my knees or to my ankles and

381
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:07.800
I'd trip up and hurt my knee. And even if

382
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:12.960
that was going to get me female attention, you know,

383
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.719
back when I was younger, I still don't think I

384
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:23.519
would have done it because it's just too impractical. First

385
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:28.320
of all, you know, I never don't want to put

386
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:30.679
yourself in a position where your trousers have fallen down,

387
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:35.920
just generally, you know, it's you can't it puts you

388
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:43.159
a I don't know, it just doesn't seem the ideal situation.

389
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:52.760
And also in reality, me showing my underpants to anyone,

390
00:37:54.000 --> 00:38:00.159
we're never going to get me a girlfriend. I mean,

391
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.639
the only person that's ever seen my underpants was my

392
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:07.400
laundrette lady back back when I used to go to

393
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:12.960
the launderette. And even she took a few years for

394
00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:15.559
her to start actually before she keep me, looked me

395
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.079
in the eyes a couple of years and became good friends,

396
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:28.599
well friendly eventually, but I think she felt like she

397
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:37.039
knew me. And the thing is, you know, it was

398
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.760
no amount of money was worth what she had to do,

399
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:50.840
you know, cleaning my underpants. It was just cleaning anybody's

400
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:55.159
underpants to be fair. Then can you come over and

401
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.840
just stick your bum near me? Oh? Thanks lovely? That

402
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:03.840
she is. He's a strange one. He's not eating his

403
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:07.599
dinner again, hasn't eating his dinner all day. I don't

404
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:14.320
know what's going on with him. Haven't eat your dinner everything? No,

405
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:17.760
And now he's standing in the city. He's got his

406
00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:21.480
tail stick up in here and he's listening. His ears

407
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.559
are pricked up, and he's listening for something I don't

408
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:27.079
know quite what. And now he's trying to stand on

409
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:30.440
my laptop. Don't stand on my laptop and he no,

410
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:37.039
don't be doing that. That's naughty, that's naughty. Why as

411
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:41.280
my nanny Newland used to say, Bernie, Bernie. She used

412
00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:43.920
to say that to us. It was her thing. She

413
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:47.760
said to all the grandkids bernie, as in like, don't

414
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:58.039
go near it because they will burn you. She's apparently

415
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:03.159
it worked when they had open fires back in you know,

416
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:06.880
when she was younger, and she did it with her kids.

417
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:11.159
So whenever it went, when it went via the open fire,

418
00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:16.159
she'd shout bernie and as in burn, not bernie as

419
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:24.719
in a boy's name, and then it got she thought, oh,

420
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:30.639
it is this successful. I start using it. I start

421
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:33.599
using it for other stuff. So she started using it

422
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:41.000
for different things like be careful on your bike, be careful,

423
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:45.760
don't run too fast, Bernie. And she did it with

424
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:52.920
us as well, and it was weird. The last time

425
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:57.519
she did it with me, I was forty two. It's

426
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:01.920
like Bernie and she would literally just shout it out,

427
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:06.760
but what are you doing? Then? This is really weird

428
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:11.079
in public as well, but it's funny. I used to

429
00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:13.440
go visit her and she I said, how are you doing?

430
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:17.000
And she said, oh, are many? Ow are many? How

431
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:18.199
many are many? How?

432
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:18.480
You know?

433
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:24.119
Like our many? Which way are many? How? Basically just

434
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:27.440
I have no idea what it meant, but I just nodded,

435
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:30.760
hoping that she'd hurry up and make me a cup

436
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:35.360
of tea. Yes I did, didn't I because I was

437
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:39.440
a naughty boy. I just wanted tea and cakes tean

438
00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:43.199
caicks all the time. Nanny Newlan used to make me

439
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:46.960
tein caicks every day, not every day, but when I

440
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:53.719
visited teen Kicks Tan Kicks or later on it became

441
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:56.800
tea and biscuits. But I would still eat lots of

442
00:41:56.880 --> 00:42:01.000
lots of biscuits. Didn't we have any? Didn't we? Well?

443
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:03.880
I did? Don't about you? You'd have eaten them as well,

444
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:06.679
because you like biscuits, and I think you'd have loved

445
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:09.800
the cakes. Can you hear his main not saying.

446
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:26.159
We do it?

447
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:43.119
We don't. It doesn't normally interrupt me when I make

448
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:51.760
her recording, do you, Reddy? Don't? Normally he hasn't had

449
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:55.159
and he is eating his dinner at all today?

450
00:42:59.599 --> 00:42:59.920
M hm.

451
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:06.400
Theres a lot of noise in the garden today, right,

452
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:08.880
Just let me do this for any Give me a

453
00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:11.400
little bit of space, a little bit of space where

454
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:16.000
I can do this recording. Thank you. No, don't stand

455
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:19.760
on my laptop. No, no, I don't want you standing

456
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:26.599
on my laptop. Stop it. And oh now he's took

457
00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:32.800
me off the page. Stop it. If I wanted him

458
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:35.519
to sit here with me, he wouldn't. I started that.

459
00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:36.880
I don't want him to. I just don't want him

460
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:39.880
sitting on the laptop. That's all not too much to ask,

461
00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:45.920
is it really? Oh, look at this. The elastic waistband

462
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:51.840
was invented in nineteen thirties. Box of briefs were invented

463
00:43:51.920 --> 00:44:00.519
by John Varvatos at Calvin Klein in nineteen ninety two. Really,

464
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:06.679
that's not true boxer briefs. I had boxers in the

465
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:13.159
late eighties, so that's not true at all. Made by

466
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:23.760
Calvin Klein. US boxer briefs. Boxer shorts which we use

467
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:28.719
for underwear were around long before the nineties, so I

468
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:35.679
don't know quite Maybe they're talking about actual underwear, but

469
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.360
that was underwear because I used to use it. I

470
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:40.599
liked it because it was quite Everything kind of was

471
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:51.360
just loose. Seamless underwear is created with a circular committing machine.

472
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:56.360
I don't know why I needed to know that there

473
00:44:56.480 --> 00:45:02.079
are moisture wigged there are moisture wicking underpens made just

474
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:06.639
for athletes. Will that be nice to know about that?

475
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:12.079
I didn't know that. I remember I did back in

476
00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:20.840
about ninety two thousand and for six, probably two thousand

477
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:24.599
and six, maybe two thousand and five, two thousand and six,

478
00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:30.119
I cycled to work. It was a fifty minute walk,

479
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:35.280
so I got myself a bicycle a bicycle and decided

480
00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:38.119
to you know, cycle to work. I thought, hmmm, I

481
00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:43.519
do that not ideal? A lot of traffic roads aren't

482
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:47.039
really built for cyclists in this country, apart from the

483
00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:53.000
ones that are. And I'd get to work and it

484
00:45:53.199 --> 00:46:03.320
was a puddle down there, mainly sweat and apparently so

485
00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:09.519
because in the winter. I'm trying to how to say,

486
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:12.199
I got called into the office and they said, can

487
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.719
I please stop putting my underwear on the radiator? Okay.

488
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:18.719
I didn't get sacked, didn't get a discipliney, it's just

489
00:46:20.079 --> 00:46:22.039
in fact, they weren't even surprised that I was doing it.

490
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:27.159
I actually wonder what they thought me. But yeah, well,

491
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.599
what am I supposed to do? There's a puddle down there.

492
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:33.679
So I used to take a spare pair of underpants

493
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:37.679
and they said also, I said, I've got spare underpants.

494
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:41.639
They said, well, we'll change into your spare underpants. I

495
00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:45.039
said to do He said, no, I mean change into

496
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:50.119
spare underpants in the toilet, not in the office. Okay,

497
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:52.679
So I really felt like I was being picked on.

498
00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:57.079
So you want me to stop cutting my toe nails

499
00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:02.920
at the desk as well? Yeah, like I can't do

500
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:11.159
anything right. Silk underwear is prized for being breevable and pricey.

501
00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:19.480
I've never had silk underwear. I've seen silk underwear I've

502
00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:23.360
sniffed silk underwear. That sounds wrong. No, I mean I've

503
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:27.679
looked at silk underwear and felt it because it feels nice,

504
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:31.079
doesn't it on your on your on your on your skin.

505
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:33.719
I'm just saying, it's just I've actually been in a

506
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:44.280
shop and touched silk fabric, That's what I'm saying. And Okay,

507
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.159
got kicked out for rubbing over my face, but it

508
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:51.199
was on a hanger. It's on a hanger. If you

509
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:57.119
notice that there's always a sign or like a notice

510
00:47:57.159 --> 00:48:00.440
on the package of underwear, you're not I'm allowed to

511
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:05.760
return this. This doesn't seem fair, does it. You can

512
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:09.440
return dresses, you can return pretty much anything else, but

513
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:14.400
not underwear because you know, I know some people they

514
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:19.360
go out for a night out and they'll buy pretty

515
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.599
much the whole costume for the night, everything they need,

516
00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:26.800
and then I'll just return it on the Monday, so

517
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:29.360
they've had a night out, they've had all new clothes

518
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:35.760
and then but it just feels wrong if you haven't

519
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:39.880
got underwear as well, it just feels like it's something missing,

520
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:42.239
you know, to not be able to get your money

521
00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:51.079
back for that. And also they like you to read

522
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:54.679
the label. They don't like you just to walk in

523
00:48:55.639 --> 00:48:59.719
and hand them your underwear and sad like a refund

524
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:10.800
believe doesn't go down well. I used to have silk

525
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:17.519
shirts or lovely. I might try and get some silk pajamas.

526
00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:21.840
I want to say silk. I'm talking about cheap silk,

527
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:28.280
not silk. Yeah, ten pounds or twenty pound for but

528
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:32.199
some pajamas. It's not going to be you know, twenty

529
00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:35.360
five pounds or something like that. I'm not the queen.

530
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:50.599
In Japan. Used underwear vendor machines exist. I won't, I can't.

531
00:49:50.960 --> 00:50:00.119
I can't comment on that, other than I'd like to

532
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:04.719
visit Japan. It's not related to that. Just it's just

533
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:16.360
suddenly had the urge used used underwear machine vending machine.

534
00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:20.760
It just makes you wonder where would they put it,

535
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:25.440
because it's not going to be where would they have

536
00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:29.920
it in a mall, you know, in a supermarket entrance.

537
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:33.280
I don't know. Where would they have a machine full

538
00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:53.159
of this multi colored fabric? I don't know. Wow, Okay,

539
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:59.440
apparently it's rare now, but it's true, but it's quite rare. Oh.

540
00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:03.679
I find in Italy wearing a red underwear on new

541
00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:16.840
year's eve is good luck. Okay, I no idea how

542
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:23.079
that works out, but hey, good for them. Brazilians wear

543
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:33.079
new underwear at the turn of the year for prosperity, okay.

544
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:41.159
I mean, yeah, I know. There's this DJ that you

545
00:51:41.239 --> 00:51:43.760
used to talk about how he never wore the same

546
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:51.280
pair of underpants twice. That would be quite expensive unless

547
00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:55.119
you got really cheap underwear. I mean, he was earning

548
00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:58.000
quite a good good money I mentioned. But even then,

549
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:04.719
it's a fact. It's an expensive hobby in it soiling yourself.

550
00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:08.960
It's nice, expensive hobby. I don't know why. I mean,

551
00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:15.320
Persy just didn't want to do his own washing. I

552
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:19.440
could be it, couldn't it. It's like checking away plates.

553
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:25.280
Do you know I did that once? This is totally true.

554
00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:31.079
I went through a period. This is true. I can't

555
00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:34.039
believe it. Wow, I forgot about this. I went through

556
00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:45.800
a period where I bought plates and dishes, bowls and

557
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:51.320
plates and plastic cutlery. But the rest were like cardboard,

558
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:55.639
hard cardboard, the kind of thing that you do weising

559
00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:00.960
in hospital and that kind of texture, and all buffets,

560
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:06.679
not not not doing wehebies in buffets, but you know,

561
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:11.000
on food and stuff and I got loads of these

562
00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:14.320
and that's all I used. I didn't I didn't do

563
00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:20.480
any washing up for about two or three months. Hmm.

564
00:53:22.239 --> 00:53:24.320
I don't know what was going on in my head

565
00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:26.679
at the time, but that's that was my new thing

566
00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:30.719
back then. And I d my breakfast cereal out of

567
00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:35.119
the bowl I'd have. Yeah, everything was and I just

568
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:42.400
put in a recycling that was years ago, probably seven

569
00:53:42.519 --> 00:53:47.119
years ago. I could probably find out if I went

570
00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:49.920
on Amazon to find because that's where I get most

571
00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:54.800
of my stuff, unless I got it from supermarket, which

572
00:53:54.880 --> 00:54:01.840
is possible. I've got a mile memory of maybe walking

573
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:09.480
into Iceland the shop and buying this stuff because there

574
00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:13.480
was all kinds of stuff for parties really, and then

575
00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:16.360
getting it delivered. So yeah, I've got a mild memory

576
00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:24.639
of that. In South Korea, parents traditionally give new underwear

577
00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:31.440
to their children for exams before or afterwards. Before the

578
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:35.920
exam or after the exam, somebody changed into when you finished.

579
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:41.760
I don't know, it's nice, is it. Some cultures bury

580
00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:52.079
people with their best underwear on. I don't know. I mean, yeah, cool,

581
00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:56.920
I suppose. I mean, you're not going to bury them

582
00:54:56.960 --> 00:55:00.920
with used underwear, are you? I mean. Some would argue

583
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:08.559
doesn't matter, but yeah, it kind of. You know, in Iran,

584
00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:17.639
buying women's underwear is legally gender restricted. Should I shout

585
00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:20.239
out the window? Please? Can you make a bit more noise?

586
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:26.119
You can't quite, you're not quite destroying my recording. Thanks.

587
00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:30.800
That tree is not blocking any well, the tree is

588
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:33.440
not there anymore. They basically cut the down the tree,

589
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:36.840
so it's not it's just above the fence and it's

590
00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:41.239
just a stub. It's a nub used to block out

591
00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:47.440
a little bit of the sound. Probably fifty now.

592
00:55:47.519 --> 00:55:47.920
It's just.

593
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:58.480
I'm not moaning, no, of course not. In Latin cultures,

594
00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:06.440
yellow underwear is believed to bring wealth. Wow, well i'd

595
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:09.960
be rich, I'd say. At the front of my underwears

596
00:56:10.239 --> 00:56:16.880
often yellow, so I'd be yeah, it hasn't brought me

597
00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:24.840
any wealth personally to move to a Latin culture. Thongs,

598
00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:29.599
I love that word. Thong. Thongs were originally invented for

599
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:35.960
male dances at rio. How nice. The term going commando

600
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:41.800
comes from military slang, So going commando, if you don't know,

601
00:56:41.840 --> 00:56:48.599
it means not wearing any underpants. The average American owns

602
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:56.480
around twenty pairs of underwear. I don't. I think I'd

603
00:56:56.480 --> 00:57:00.880
probably own about one, two, three, four, about ten. I

604
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:06.079
think weird and funny facts. There's a museum in Brussels

605
00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:16.719
dedicated to underwear art. Yeah, okay, some people collect vintage underwear.

606
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:26.559
It's a niche. It's a niche, but real market vintage underwear. Hmmm.

607
00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:33.440
In the nineteen fifties, men's briefs were nicknamed tighty whities.

608
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:41.599
Is it true? I don't know. Queen Victoria's underwear once

609
00:57:41.719 --> 00:57:47.519
sold it an auction for over six thousand pounds. But

610
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:55.159
then Queen Victoria, you know, a handkerchief of sox, you know,

611
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:57.960
probably a taller role holder or anything would probably be

612
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:01.960
worth some money because she's really famous queen, wasn't she.

613
00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:12.760
There are edible underwear products, mostly novelty items, mostly novelty items.

614
00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:24.440
What else would they be if not novelty items. I

615
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:30.760
had a girlfriend once. She had edible underwear, and it's

616
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:32.880
like it was on the floor and I thought, oh,

617
00:58:32.920 --> 00:58:37.800
I like this, It was all right, and she's I

618
00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:42.480
said to her that edible underwear. I didn't know he

619
00:58:42.519 --> 00:59:00.320
could get it with chocolate included in it. Ah ah,

620
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:02.320
this is I think it's just what you call them

621
00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:17.239
being very childish. H there are you can buy underwear

622
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:24.119
subscriptions like socks or wine like socks or wine clubs.

623
00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:27.840
So you can join a club that sells underwear and

624
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:31.679
have a subscription's wanting to send you a magazine and

625
00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:35.280
you just look through the latest underwear and meet to

626
00:59:35.360 --> 00:59:40.199
have meetings and regular yearly Christmas bashes and stuff. I

627
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:46.159
don't know the world's largest pair of underwear measured eighteen

628
00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:51.360
meters wide. There was actually a bloke that lived around

629
00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:54.280
over the over the fence when I moved in there,

630
00:59:55.079 --> 00:59:58.039
and everyone called him pants, and I didn't know. I

631
00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:00.440
didn't know why they called him pants. I just called

632
01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:03.440
him pants. Unfortunately, we weren't supposed to say it to

633
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:05.239
his face. I didn't know that. I thought there was

634
01:00:05.239 --> 01:00:10.360
actually his name, and so I'd said one morning Pence,

635
01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:15.079
and he looked at me and huh. I didn't know

636
01:00:15.119 --> 01:00:19.719
why they called him Pence. It turned out that it

637
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:22.400
was because one day he had his underpants on the

638
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:31.880
on the washing line and everyone in the area noticed them.

639
01:00:32.719 --> 01:00:34.199
That's all I'm saying. I want to say what what

640
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:37.400
they noticed, but they noticed the pants. So from then

641
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:42.000
on he was called Pence. That was his nickname very Childish.

642
01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:50.159
A Japanese company made underwear that plays me, placed me,

643
01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:50.920
you sick?

644
01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:51.880
Why?

645
01:00:53.000 --> 01:01:14.920
Why? Why? I don't know. I can't get it. I

646
01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:22.320
don't Why would you want underwear to play music? Please

647
01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:28.159
release me, let me go? I don't know. And there's

648
01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.360
got to be some songs that would be perfect for that.

649
01:01:32.679 --> 01:01:39.320
NASA is Japanese. They got some quite unusual ideas, isn't

650
01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:47.159
it When it comes to underwear. NASA design space underwear

651
01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:52.639
that prevents bacterial growth? Again, why do astronauts get it?

652
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:57.679
Why can't I have some of them? I mean, you know,

653
01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:01.000
there was times when I don't know underwear drawer and

654
01:02:01.639 --> 01:02:07.920
it looked like a mushroom farm. There are period of

655
01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:13.800
proof panties designed to replace pads and tampons. Why does

656
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:17.880
that always have to creep in? Hey? Can't we just

657
01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:24.039
forget that that I'm a bloke, I pretend that doesn't happen.

658
01:02:24.199 --> 01:02:27.800
Why have you got I never never understood why that

659
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:34.320
wasn't a thing anyway, just generally just for everyone, just

660
01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:41.119
like have underpants that were kind of useful other than

661
01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:45.559
just there, you know, instead of just being like a

662
01:02:46.800 --> 01:02:52.719
thin barrier between pretend and reality. I can't like to

663
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:58.119
think so pretending that we were all clean and walking

664
01:02:58.239 --> 01:03:02.599
around and perfect and reality, when actually there might be

665
01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:08.000
stuff going on there behind the scenes, behind the curtains,

666
01:03:08.320 --> 01:03:17.039
or when I say curtains, I mean you know, inside

667
01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:20.800
your pants. No, that's not what I meant. Okay, moving on,

668
01:03:21.239 --> 01:03:24.599
Oh BlimE me. But it seems like that's a really

669
01:03:24.679 --> 01:03:27.599
good idea. I don't know why that wasn't invented before.

670
01:03:28.719 --> 01:03:41.719
Great idea expert experts recommend changing underwear daily. Experts think

671
01:03:41.760 --> 01:03:48.400
they know everything. Who changes underwear daily? I mean the most. Yeah,

672
01:03:48.639 --> 01:03:53.440
maybe rotate. So if you're going through a month, you

673
01:03:54.599 --> 01:03:58.880
can get by on three pairs of underpants because if

674
01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:11.360
you just air them out, it takes most of distink away. Wow.

675
01:04:12.320 --> 01:04:14.800
About forty five percent of men admit to wearing the

676
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:20.159
same pair for more than one day. Why they did?

677
01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:23.840
They ask women the same question, why do men have

678
01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:27.960
to admit to stuff like that? Stop it? Men, stop it? Say?

679
01:04:28.639 --> 01:04:31.719
The thing is, why would you why would any ood

680
01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:33.880
admit to that? It's all walked up to you in

681
01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:36.679
the street doing a survey. How they were doing survey

682
01:04:36.880 --> 01:04:46.440
on disgusting behavior, disgusting hygienic behavior. So how often do

683
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:51.559
you change your underpants? You'd think that at least one

684
01:04:51.639 --> 01:04:54.760
hundred percent of people would say every day. Maybe a

685
01:04:54.800 --> 01:04:58.159
couple of people, for joke would say, you know, once

686
01:04:58.199 --> 01:05:03.840
a year or something silly like that. Forty five percent

687
01:05:04.199 --> 01:05:07.440
said they don't change it every day. That seems like

688
01:05:08.719 --> 01:05:13.000
a bit too high, not too high for it being

689
01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:15.800
for it really happening, but too high for people to

690
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:21.559
admit it. That's what I'm thinking. You should replace your

691
01:05:21.679 --> 01:05:25.719
underwear every six or twelve months. Make their mind up.

692
01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:27.800
They're saying every day. Now are saying every six or

693
01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:35.320
twelve months. Washing underwear in hot water helps kill bacteria?

694
01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:42.679
Really or didn't know that? Ooh, it's almost that it's

695
01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:46.679
turning into some kind of educational thing. Oh like, yeah,

696
01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:51.920
we know hot water. Most people don't wash a new

697
01:05:52.079 --> 01:05:58.159
underwear before wearing it, but should Okay, I've done that

698
01:06:01.320 --> 01:06:06.440
every time. We've never washed new underwear before wearing it?

699
01:06:07.239 --> 01:06:09.880
I don't think, No, I think I ever have. I

700
01:06:10.039 --> 01:06:13.719
didn't know what. We're supposed to learn something new every day,

701
01:06:14.360 --> 01:06:18.000
as they say, as my name used to say, in

702
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:25.960
between our feeling anyhow, and Bernie underwear is the most

703
01:06:26.039 --> 01:06:29.360
frequently stolen clothing item from laundromats.

704
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:32.320
That is.

705
01:06:34.519 --> 01:06:41.719
Absolutely, that's blown my mind. Really, the most frequently stolen

706
01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:49.440
clothing item from launderetes we call them laundrets here is underwear.

707
01:06:50.519 --> 01:06:59.639
No why why I've never looked in someone's tumble dryer,

708
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:02.440
because you know, people have a tendency they do the

709
01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:04.119
washing and they put it in a tumble dryer and

710
01:07:04.239 --> 01:07:08.920
then perhaps wander off for ten minutes. I've never looked

711
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:11.519
at the you know, the big window, seeing the stuff

712
01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:15.719
rolling around and thinking if I was going to steal something,

713
01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:19.440
it'd be the underwear. That that wouldn't be the first

714
01:07:19.480 --> 01:07:24.639
thing I'd steal, because well, firstly, I don't want to

715
01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:30.880
wear someone else's underwear, even if it's clean. Even if

716
01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:33.119
it's clean, I'm not saying that i'd consider it if

717
01:07:33.119 --> 01:07:35.679
it was dirty. I'm just saying I wouldn't. I just

718
01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:40.840
don't know. No, thanks. There's a reason why you don't

719
01:07:40.920 --> 01:07:43.840
go into a second hand shop or a charity shop

720
01:07:44.320 --> 01:07:48.400
and see underwear for sale used underwear because people don't

721
01:07:48.440 --> 01:07:52.039
buy used underwear apart from those that do, and it's

722
01:07:52.079 --> 01:07:55.840
a speciality thing and I don't think it's for wearing.

723
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:07.320
You can freeze underwear to kill germs, but maybe just

724
01:08:07.679 --> 01:08:14.599
wash them. Wow. Yeah, I mean I don't think sticking

725
01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:20.520
in the freezer every day overnight is gonna really do

726
01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:26.079
the trick because it might kill germs, but it's still

727
01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:29.039
gonna m yeah.

728
01:08:29.279 --> 01:08:29.319
No.

729
01:08:31.279 --> 01:08:33.319
And the freeze is where we put food, isn't it?

730
01:08:35.159 --> 01:08:39.279
And hitchhikers no food, It freezes where we put theyone

731
01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:44.079
put underwear in there. Dry as can damage elastic in

732
01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:50.920
underwear over time. That makes sense, so can expand in

733
01:08:51.079 --> 01:08:57.039
bellies like mine. Some detergent brands now sell formulas just

734
01:08:57.279 --> 01:09:02.279
for delicates. God, that was the most boring one of

735
01:09:02.319 --> 01:09:06.279
all of them. Air dryer is best for extending your

736
01:09:06.399 --> 01:09:12.239
pants lifestyle air drying air drying, Oh you mean just

737
01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:20.079
hanging stuff up? Okay? So psychological and fashion insights where

738
01:09:20.159 --> 01:09:26.840
in matching underwear can boost confidence? Okay? What do they

739
01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:33.239
mean by matching underwear? So your socks have also got

740
01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:35.960
stains on as a what they mean? I don't know

741
01:09:36.079 --> 01:09:41.039
what do they mean? Many many people fos have also

742
01:09:41.119 --> 01:09:43.760
got skid marks. Many But that would be a good

743
01:09:43.800 --> 01:09:45.960
place to have skid marks, because we do skid when

744
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:48.319
we walk, don't we look? We run and stop? We

745
01:09:48.479 --> 01:09:51.359
skid So that would be the obvious place to call

746
01:09:51.760 --> 01:09:56.159
a stain on the bottom of a sock a skid mark,

747
01:09:56.640 --> 01:10:02.279
wouldn't it. Many people buy nice underwear for themselves, not others.

748
01:10:05.279 --> 01:10:08.439
Never ever, I don't think I bought underwear for another

749
01:10:08.520 --> 01:10:16.399
person where it was well received. I don't near and no,

750
01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:27.439
I don't think. Yeah. I bought lingerie once, but my

751
01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:32.119
dad didn't like it. I think I was going to

752
01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:34.439
buy it. Am I born a pet? I don't know.

753
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:37.199
I remember I figured this thing out years ago. When

754
01:10:37.239 --> 01:10:40.960
I was in my twenties. I came back late from

755
01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:45.680
work from lunch. I was about ten minutes late, fifteen

756
01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:49.800
minutes late, and the super advisor was waiting at the door,

757
01:10:50.840 --> 01:10:55.000
waiting at the entrance for me. Why I knewland were

758
01:10:55.039 --> 01:10:58.960
you late? I said, sorry, al far, I just I

759
01:10:59.079 --> 01:11:01.640
got caught up. I was in the shop trying to

760
01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:05.319
try and look something that I was looking to, you know,

761
01:11:05.479 --> 01:11:09.600
get your birthday present, and he just looked at me like,

762
01:11:10.520 --> 01:11:12.520
because it was his birthday coming up I think in

763
01:11:12.640 --> 01:11:18.239
two days time, mm hmm. Agy know what to do

764
01:11:18.319 --> 01:11:24.119
with that because we were kind of he didn't know.

765
01:11:24.399 --> 01:11:30.000
He just liked he's walked away and then I because

766
01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:32.439
I told him I was going to get a birthday present.

767
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:34.680
I got to work two days late and he said,

768
01:11:34.720 --> 01:11:38.960
where's my present? I thought, oh, I said, you get

769
01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:41.279
in a minute. I was going to pop downstairs and

770
01:11:42.359 --> 01:11:49.000
get coffee, and I gave him some underpants. But yeah, anyway,

771
01:11:49.800 --> 01:11:54.039
that job didn't last too long. Red underwear is often

772
01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:59.199
associated with passion or confidence. I think that's just it is,

773
01:11:59.239 --> 01:12:02.000
it really is. I don't know. You see that in

774
01:12:02.159 --> 01:12:08.840
movies and stuff, don't you. Red underwear? I don't know.

775
01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:13.680
You could also be classed as like associated with an injury,

776
01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:17.840
couldn't it. But yeah, I don't know. Some people wear

777
01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:23.720
specific colors of underwear for luck or job interviews. I do.

778
01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:31.039
I do wear specific type of underwear, So you can

779
01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:38.960
say a color of underwear for job interviews clean underwear. Yeah,

780
01:12:39.039 --> 01:12:41.399
that is definitely a time you don't want to go in.

781
01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:46.399
You don't the things you don't want to take into

782
01:12:47.039 --> 01:12:51.479
a job interview is a nasty smell. You don't want

783
01:12:51.479 --> 01:12:58.279
to take that into the room. And it's not just

784
01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:02.319
like an uda from dirty underwear. It's not just that,

785
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:06.319
but any kind of nicet smell, like you know, you

786
01:13:06.439 --> 01:13:12.000
can't walk in and start eating a KFC out of

787
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.560
a bucket, like you know, start an eating is that

788
01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:21.960
just doesn't go down well on a job interview. I

789
01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:26.039
remember there was this I don't tell jokes as well,

790
01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:32.319
it doesn't always go down well. I did a I

791
01:13:32.399 --> 01:13:37.079
had a job interview for this residential home, and I

792
01:13:37.279 --> 01:13:40.319
generally thought I'd be quite good at looking after people.

793
01:13:40.479 --> 01:13:43.720
And because I know I've come across maybe a bit,

794
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:48.000
I don't know, maybe maybe I don't come across quite

795
01:13:48.039 --> 01:13:55.479
as gentle as I am. I'm quiet. I think can

796
01:13:55.560 --> 01:13:59.880
be quite kind of nice person, I think sometimes and

797
01:14:00.119 --> 01:14:03.600
I've always not always, but generally quite like elderly people

798
01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:07.079
got on with them, got respect for them, and probably

799
01:14:07.159 --> 01:14:10.720
mainly due to my nan and granddad. I respected my granddad,

800
01:14:11.079 --> 01:14:13.560
didn't get on well with him. I had two conversations,

801
01:14:14.199 --> 01:14:20.039
but my nan, she was amazing. So I had this

802
01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:27.159
job interview. This was I think, Yeah, it's about fifteen

803
01:14:27.239 --> 01:14:31.600
years ago. It's going all so well, and you said

804
01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:37.000
you seemed like the perfect candidate your university studying counseling,

805
01:14:37.119 --> 01:14:41.800
so clearly aiming to help people. Because this is going

806
01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:47.079
to be a part time job, it's at weekends while

807
01:14:47.119 --> 01:14:48.720
I was at university.

808
01:14:50.800 --> 01:14:50.880
And.

809
01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:56.000
There was it came to the end, right the last

810
01:14:56.079 --> 01:15:03.920
two questions like what he you instead of saying what

811
01:15:04.079 --> 01:15:06.479
you're good at and what you're bad at, which I've

812
01:15:06.520 --> 01:15:08.720
had in interviews, and that's going to be a bit

813
01:15:08.760 --> 01:15:10.399
of a shock, you know, like, Okay, I've got to

814
01:15:10.439 --> 01:15:13.239
think of something I'm bad at, and.

815
01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:15.119
You know.

816
01:15:16.880 --> 01:15:20.279
What you're good at, what's your skills, what's your faults

817
01:15:21.680 --> 01:15:23.520
in the past? You love So I said, yeah, well

818
01:15:23.520 --> 01:15:29.439
I'm a thief again. That time they laughed. I was

819
01:15:29.479 --> 01:15:33.880
being honest, but they laughed, So that was okay. So

820
01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:37.560
but this time they said, what do they say something

821
01:15:37.600 --> 01:15:41.640
about what are you're looking you know, what you're looking

822
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:44.239
forward to in this job, and what you're not looking

823
01:15:44.319 --> 01:15:47.880
forward to in this job. And I thought, that's a

824
01:15:48.119 --> 01:15:52.760
hard one to answer, really because I've got to be

825
01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:56.239
almost talking negatively about what I'm not looking forward to

826
01:15:57.119 --> 01:16:01.119
working with elderly people in the home, you know, And

827
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:08.520
I wanted to sort of make a joke before I

828
01:16:08.640 --> 01:16:10.680
can't do it on the negative ones, I said, well,

829
01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:14.079
the thing that I'm not looking forward to is possibly

830
01:16:14.159 --> 01:16:18.479
getting too attached to the to the patients or to

831
01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:23.479
the residents because you know, this part of the job

832
01:16:23.640 --> 01:16:26.880
is it's going to be difficult when they move out

833
01:16:27.239 --> 01:16:31.880
or leave. And she looked at me. The lady looked

834
01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:35.399
at me with like almost I felt like she was

835
01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:40.279
proud of me, and she really felt that were connected.

836
01:16:40.560 --> 01:16:44.000
You know, it's kind of like, yeah, she kind of

837
01:16:44.319 --> 01:16:46.760
gave me that invisible look, not an invisible look, but

838
01:16:46.920 --> 01:16:51.960
almost like you are the perfect candidate for this job.

839
01:16:52.600 --> 01:16:56.319
No one else has ever been as good as you. Yeah,

840
01:16:56.439 --> 01:16:59.159
maybe I was overthinking it and patting myself on the

841
01:16:59.199 --> 01:17:03.600
back too hard. And then she said, well, that's really good.

842
01:17:03.680 --> 01:17:07.359
That's very thoughtful, and considering we didn't give you any

843
01:17:07.439 --> 01:17:11.399
time to really think it through, it sounded very honest

844
01:17:12.399 --> 01:17:16.800
and sincere I said thank you. I said, well, I am,

845
01:17:17.079 --> 01:17:19.680
you know, really close to my name. I was really

846
01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:23.680
close to my name, but no, I was, yeah at

847
01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:26.000
the time when they were still around. So I'm very

848
01:17:26.039 --> 01:17:27.920
close to my name and have been for a long time.

849
01:17:28.039 --> 01:17:31.680
And you know, she's the most important person in my life.

850
01:17:31.760 --> 01:17:35.439
So that's so I've got deep respect for her, and

851
01:17:36.399 --> 01:17:40.119
also for elderly people for what they've been through and

852
01:17:40.920 --> 01:17:44.760
the life experiences that they have. The wisdom that they have,

853
01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:49.520
and quite often the positive attitude that they have, and

854
01:17:49.640 --> 01:17:53.399
even ones that moan I find funny because it says

855
01:17:53.520 --> 01:17:56.399
is kind of yeah, it's a win win. And she said, okay,

856
01:17:57.199 --> 01:17:59.119
so you talked about what you don't like or what

857
01:17:59.239 --> 01:18:03.319
you're not looking forward to. What's the thing that most

858
01:18:03.399 --> 01:18:06.000
excited about this job. What's the thing you're most looking

859
01:18:06.079 --> 01:18:10.600
forward to in this job? And I thought straight away

860
01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:17.560
just shouted out, BAF time. It's just a joke. It's

861
01:18:17.640 --> 01:18:21.439
like BAF time, that's what I'm looking forward to. Bath time. No,

862
01:18:21.920 --> 01:18:25.680
it's got nothing. Just a look at me and the

863
01:18:25.760 --> 01:18:27.239
other two people in the room as well. I was

864
01:18:27.279 --> 01:18:33.079
just looking at me like what, so what did you say?

865
01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:35.479
BAF time?

866
01:18:37.680 --> 01:18:37.720
No?

867
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:42.560
And the old the old thing, And they said have

868
01:18:42.600 --> 01:18:45.760
you got any questions? And me saying yeah, when do

869
01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:50.319
I start? That didn't even get a laugh either, and

870
01:18:50.479 --> 01:18:59.319
I just left and yeah, nothing came of it. I

871
01:18:59.399 --> 01:19:01.920
should have worn clean underwear, though, I think that would

872
01:19:01.920 --> 01:19:04.119
have maybe swayed it a bit better in my favor.

873
01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:09.720
Try not to fart during interviews. That's one of the things.

874
01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:13.840
Don't teach you that in school today. Try not to

875
01:19:13.960 --> 01:19:16.800
fart and just generally trying not to fight anywhere. Really,

876
01:19:20.119 --> 01:19:22.840
But it's a hard one, isn't it, Because farting is

877
01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:28.760
so much fun. It sounds funny, it smells this doesn't

878
01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:30.880
smell funny, but it's you know, it's it's just a

879
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:35.920
funny thing, farting. The word fart is funny if you're

880
01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:44.000
five years old, I suppose. But hey, oh, lucky underwear

881
01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:50.439
is a real psychological phenomenon. Well, yeah, in a sense

882
01:19:50.520 --> 01:19:56.079
of if you feel positive and because of a thing

883
01:19:56.199 --> 01:20:00.279
that you're wearing, whether it's a rabbit's towel stick out

884
01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:05.760
your bum, or if you've got your lucky nipple rings

885
01:20:05.960 --> 01:20:09.720
or your lucky hat, or perhaps you're carrying around your

886
01:20:09.800 --> 01:20:13.079
lucky toaster, you know, into the job interview with you,

887
01:20:13.520 --> 01:20:22.880
which would be with anyone for toast, it would be

888
01:20:24.159 --> 01:20:27.359
if it gives you confidence and you believe that it's

889
01:20:27.439 --> 01:20:31.479
going to make you give you luck, then kind of

890
01:20:31.640 --> 01:20:36.199
will in a way because it will increase your performance.

891
01:20:36.239 --> 01:20:39.680
It will improve your performance if you believe that that

892
01:20:40.760 --> 01:20:45.119
ritualistic thing is going to help, if you really believe it.

893
01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:51.720
So that's the psychology behind that, I do believe. According

894
01:20:51.760 --> 01:20:55.039
to this, your underwear drawer says more about your sock

895
01:20:55.600 --> 01:20:59.640
more about you than your sock draw apparently, let me

896
01:20:59.760 --> 01:21:02.760
take Nicoli socks are underwear as well, and they you know,

897
01:21:04.279 --> 01:21:10.479
don't mean to be pedantic, but what my sock draw

898
01:21:10.560 --> 01:21:18.800
says about me? Other than designer underwear can cost over

899
01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:26.479
one hundred pounds per pair. I don't think my entire

900
01:21:26.640 --> 01:21:34.000
wardrobe costs more than one hundred pound and I'm not

901
01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:34.600
proud of that.

902
01:21:35.359 --> 01:21:35.640
I'm not.

903
01:21:37.199 --> 01:21:41.920
Some people use underwear as secret protest symbols. What is

904
01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:45.119
the point in that? Sorry? How can it be a

905
01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:53.439
secret protest? So if you're protested against something and you're

906
01:21:53.479 --> 01:21:58.600
doing it inside your underpence, it's not really a protest,

907
01:21:58.760 --> 01:22:04.319
is it. I mean, this subtle end is pointless for

908
01:22:04.520 --> 01:22:08.800
two very different things. I mean, you're just you're going

909
01:22:08.840 --> 01:22:13.359
to stand with a bunch of people with plack cards

910
01:22:13.479 --> 01:22:17.880
and just have that same logo on your underpants but

911
01:22:17.960 --> 01:22:19.880
no one can see it, but you're going to feel

912
01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:31.000
good inside because you're also protesting secretly. Come on, I

913
01:22:31.079 --> 01:22:34.720
don't think that would have worked with some of the

914
01:22:34.840 --> 01:22:38.319
big events that have been you know, big historical events

915
01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:41.920
that have been affected by protests. If everyone just walked

916
01:22:41.960 --> 01:22:56.439
around with underwear saying what they wanted clean underpants matter

917
01:22:56.760 --> 01:22:59.680
or whatever. I don't know, just it wouldn't work with it.

918
01:23:00.920 --> 01:23:14.680
It just wouldn't. It wouldn't seem maybe just oil protesters.

919
01:23:14.760 --> 01:23:18.119
They wear orange underpants, so they quite like that orange stuff,

920
01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:21.119
didn't they that they paint on things, So maybe they

921
01:23:21.399 --> 01:23:24.960
wear orange underpants. So if you meet someone that's got

922
01:23:25.199 --> 01:23:32.039
orange underpants, beware they might be a just or protector

923
01:23:32.279 --> 01:23:36.560
or protester. Other aren't even worse than that. They might

924
01:23:36.680 --> 01:23:43.079
care about the world. Damn them. We're an old underwear

925
01:23:43.239 --> 01:23:50.840
can actually really so, oh we're an old underwear is

926
01:23:50.840 --> 01:23:56.319
not always a good thing. Apparently men's breethes were inspired

927
01:23:56.399 --> 01:24:05.199
by by swimming trunks in the nineteen thirties. What did

928
01:24:05.359 --> 01:24:11.239
men wear before the song became popularized by men in Europe?

929
01:24:11.399 --> 01:24:17.880
Before women? I thought the thong was only four men.

930
01:24:19.560 --> 01:24:23.439
Hm hmm. Boxer beefs are the most popular men's underwear

931
01:24:23.479 --> 01:24:27.960
in the UK and US. I wear kind of boxer

932
01:24:28.039 --> 01:24:31.800
shorts kind of they're kind of a mixture.

933
01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:37.600
For it's kind of.

934
01:24:39.720 --> 01:24:45.800
There's a safety net there, but it's always like free,

935
01:24:46.079 --> 01:24:49.800
free hanging, but with a safety net, so it's kind of,

936
01:24:50.600 --> 01:24:57.680
you know, it's not all just dangling, but they don't

937
01:24:57.680 --> 01:25:02.800
worry about it. The boys short. The boys short was

938
01:25:02.920 --> 01:25:06.119
modeled after men's boxes. Got no idea what that is?

939
01:25:08.199 --> 01:25:13.399
Push up underwear exists for both men and women. Push

940
01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:18.399
up underwear. Why would women want to push up? And

941
01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:21.479
where would men want it? But women pushing? What up?

942
01:25:23.159 --> 01:25:27.760
Are we including bras in this? Okay, well I've never

943
01:25:28.079 --> 01:25:30.279
I have worn a few bras over the years because

944
01:25:30.319 --> 01:25:36.760
it's again, it just popped out of my mouth. No,

945
01:25:36.840 --> 01:25:47.760
I mean, it's just it's it's Women began wearing bikini

946
01:25:47.880 --> 01:25:54.479
style underwear in the nineteen fifties. I thought it was

947
01:25:54.479 --> 01:25:57.000
the other way around. I thought they started wearing bikinis

948
01:25:59.199 --> 01:26:03.720
in the style of underwear, Like you know, they started

949
01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:06.319
going on the beaches almost like they had their underwear

950
01:26:06.359 --> 01:26:11.359
on instead of one big long swim costume that covered everything.

951
01:26:12.680 --> 01:26:18.560
And I do believe I'm correct on that one. There's

952
01:26:18.640 --> 01:26:23.760
more underwear style bikinis, not bikini style underwear. But they

953
01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:30.760
might also want bikini style underwear. Okay, I understood what

954
01:26:30.800 --> 01:26:34.439
I meant. Men's underwear often have a fly, but only

955
01:26:34.560 --> 01:26:39.239
thirteen percent of men use it. Yeah, I used to

956
01:26:40.199 --> 01:26:47.840
when I was a kid. I don't have a fly

957
01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:50.279
on mine anyway. I think it might have a fly

958
01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:52.760
with the might buttons. I can't remember. I'd have to

959
01:26:52.840 --> 01:26:56.319
have a look, but yeah, I just pop it over there,

960
01:26:57.039 --> 01:26:59.720
pup it over the fence. Let me just have a

961
01:26:59.760 --> 01:27:05.399
look over the fence, and do it that way. Maternity

962
01:27:05.640 --> 01:27:12.079
underwear has expandable panels to grow with the belly. Cool.

963
01:27:13.159 --> 01:27:16.600
I could have done with some of that same. Some

964
01:27:16.840 --> 01:27:21.199
male underwear was built in ball, has built in ball

965
01:27:21.319 --> 01:27:26.159
poup Okay, if I can say this out, Some male

966
01:27:26.359 --> 01:27:32.840
underwear has built in ball pouches for support, okay, fair enough,

967
01:27:39.079 --> 01:27:44.760
like a squirrel's cheeks. I don't know. Lace thongs out

968
01:27:44.920 --> 01:27:55.880
sell traditional breasts in many women's lingery stores. Okay, women

969
01:27:56.000 --> 01:28:03.760
by seventy of all men's underwear. I mean, I suppose

970
01:28:04.000 --> 01:28:09.560
if I was in a relationship with a lady and

971
01:28:09.760 --> 01:28:13.119
she wanted to buy me underwear that she liked to

972
01:28:13.239 --> 01:28:16.000
see me in. I can't imagine anyone wanted to see

973
01:28:16.079 --> 01:28:20.880
me in underwear, well or without underwear. But I can't

974
01:28:20.880 --> 01:28:24.279
imagine anyone like thinking. I just I just don't imagine

975
01:28:24.319 --> 01:28:26.720
anyone thinking, look see it being in a in a

976
01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:30.399
shop looking at men's underwear and thinking and seeing me

977
01:28:30.520 --> 01:28:33.640
walk past and thinking they looked really good on him.

978
01:28:34.239 --> 01:28:36.439
I don't see that unless we're in a kind of

979
01:28:36.720 --> 01:28:42.279
a tent shop. Maybe, but yeah, I mean, i'd go

980
01:28:42.319 --> 01:28:45.000
along with it. But I don't like tight. I don't

981
01:28:45.159 --> 01:28:47.840
like not tight, So I don't like tights are great.

982
01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:51.720
I don't like tight underwear. I like to have a

983
01:28:51.800 --> 01:28:58.920
bit of movement, I don't. I don't like everything squashed,

984
01:28:59.640 --> 01:29:02.000
so I'm never a big fan of that kind of underwear.

985
01:29:02.000 --> 01:29:04.479
That's why I like boxes, because things are not squashed.

986
01:29:06.000 --> 01:29:13.000
Just yeah, just a preference, isn't it. VAL's dye. Valentine's

987
01:29:13.079 --> 01:29:20.479
Day is the biggest underwear shopping time after Christmas. I

988
01:29:20.520 --> 01:29:23.520
don't know. Sometimes I go underwear shopping on Valentine's Day,

989
01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:30.399
but generally not, I've never don't. I don't know if

990
01:29:30.439 --> 01:29:33.720
it's I'm not really I'm sure if the shops are busier,

991
01:29:37.920 --> 01:29:46.359
maybe well, it might be different. Maybe maybe, I don't know.

992
01:29:47.319 --> 01:29:51.479
I suppose I still go. I still go underwear shopping

993
01:29:51.520 --> 01:29:54.279
on Valentine's Day, even if I had a girlfriend. I

994
01:29:54.319 --> 01:29:59.479
suppose the average woman owns twenty one pairs of underwear,

995
01:30:01.199 --> 01:30:04.920
so that's one pair more than men. Men are less

996
01:30:05.039 --> 01:30:11.960
likely to replace the underwear some weight years. They really

997
01:30:12.039 --> 01:30:15.159
having to go to men here, an't they? The most

998
01:30:15.239 --> 01:30:22.880
returned item in clothing store is underwear. No no, It

999
01:30:23.039 --> 01:30:26.039
says on the packet, no returning. So that's just in

1000
01:30:26.159 --> 01:30:31.319
this country. You cannot return underwear. You can't return underpants.

1001
01:30:33.920 --> 01:30:37.760
It is literally on the packet we do not. You

1002
01:30:37.840 --> 01:30:42.560
cannot return this product once you bought it. And if

1003
01:30:42.600 --> 01:30:49.880
you do return it, you know, don't walk in wearing

1004
01:30:50.000 --> 01:30:54.239
it and walk up to the counter. Look, look it's

1005
01:30:54.359 --> 01:30:58.640
it's it's too squashy and take them off in front

1006
01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:01.079
of them and hand it to them. You can't do that.

1007
01:31:01.520 --> 01:31:05.119
That's just weird. The color black is the most popular

1008
01:31:05.239 --> 01:31:13.680
in both genders. The most expensive underwear ever made was

1009
01:31:13.800 --> 01:31:21.640
encrusted in diamonds. I've had a few pairs of underwear encrusted,

1010
01:31:21.720 --> 01:31:27.920
but not in diamonds. Oh dear, Oh dear. You can

1011
01:31:28.159 --> 01:31:36.840
buy underwear insurance. What underwear insurance?

1012
01:31:37.119 --> 01:31:37.199
Now?

1013
01:31:37.239 --> 01:31:40.399
I understand that. I suppose if you've got one covered

1014
01:31:40.439 --> 01:31:47.640
in diamonds, How comfortable is that? Really? I don't know, diamonds.

1015
01:31:47.720 --> 01:31:49.720
It doesn't seem like something i'd want to be sitting

1016
01:31:49.800 --> 01:32:02.479
on underwear insurance. Okay, fair enough. Seems a little strange

1017
01:32:02.640 --> 01:32:08.359
to me, but most things do. Some brands now offer

1018
01:32:08.600 --> 01:32:14.159
gender neutral underwear. Cool, I mean box of shorts, What

1019
01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:18.439
does it really matter? Brahs as well, that matters it

1020
01:32:19.439 --> 01:32:23.359
man or woman. Just a bra as long as it

1021
01:32:23.439 --> 01:32:32.680
fits and it's comfortable, tight underwear. Okay, this is science

1022
01:32:32.720 --> 01:32:34.560
and health, so I can't be able to read this out.

1023
01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:43.039
Cotton is recommended for breatheability. Synthetic underwear may trap moisture.

1024
01:32:43.399 --> 01:32:50.199
I do know about that already. Sleeping without underwear can

1025
01:32:50.279 --> 01:32:56.079
help your skin breathe. Yeah, that's quite nice. It's also

1026
01:32:56.239 --> 01:33:02.720
nice just to have a break because I think sometimes

1027
01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:07.039
I think, like you know, taking your bra off is

1028
01:33:07.199 --> 01:33:11.920
like it can be a nice release, like oh, and

1029
01:33:12.119 --> 01:33:20.600
it could be the same with underpants for men. I

1030
01:33:20.760 --> 01:33:26.479
just I mean generally, genuinely, literally, it's just competed nice

1031
01:33:26.600 --> 01:33:33.159
just to just, you know, just to let everything just

1032
01:33:35.159 --> 01:33:42.880
be where it wants to be kind of and dragon

1033
01:33:43.000 --> 01:33:50.119
and the floor shape where can restrict blood flow. Okay,

1034
01:33:50.279 --> 01:33:52.520
So I don't know what shapewear is, but I imagine

1035
01:33:52.560 --> 01:33:59.600
it's some kind of underwear that shapes your body. Perhaps

1036
01:34:05.680 --> 01:34:19.159
underwear with charcoal filters can help with flatulence. Charcoal filters,

1037
01:34:20.479 --> 01:34:26.000
Now that's a weird one, isn't it. Because if I

1038
01:34:26.079 --> 01:34:29.079
think of charcoal filters and I think of a barbecue

1039
01:34:29.520 --> 01:34:36.079
and charcoal and the color that would look, and I think,

1040
01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:44.199
how would you know if it's the charcoal or whether

1041
01:34:44.319 --> 01:34:46.560
it's more than just a fart. I mean, I don't know.

1042
01:34:46.880 --> 01:34:51.439
I don't know how it works flatulence, it helps with flatulence,

1043
01:34:55.119 --> 01:34:58.720
I don't know. I mean, charcoal and gas is usually

1044
01:34:58.920 --> 01:35:04.239
quite a good combination for a barbecue, isn't it. H

1045
01:35:07.479 --> 01:35:12.520
Thermal underwear retains body heat and regulates sweat. Why are

1046
01:35:12.560 --> 01:35:14.960
you telling us that? What's that? That's just a fact

1047
01:35:15.039 --> 01:35:21.039
about thermal underwear. Oh did I ever tell you? Back

1048
01:35:21.119 --> 01:35:26.399
in nineteen ninety three December, I was visiting a friend

1049
01:35:26.680 --> 01:35:35.159
and I've known this since nineteen eighty eight, and for

1050
01:35:35.319 --> 01:35:40.680
some reason we kind of hit it off extra specially

1051
01:35:42.119 --> 01:35:45.199
I had long hair, She liked my long hair, and

1052
01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:48.560
just I don't know, we just got on and she

1053
01:35:48.760 --> 01:35:55.319
wanted me, and I decided to accept to go along

1054
01:35:55.399 --> 01:35:58.960
with it. I just thought, well, if it keeps her happy.

1055
01:36:00.640 --> 01:36:06.000
And so the very first night that I stayed over

1056
01:36:06.119 --> 01:36:12.000
hers in her bedroom. I was on the right side

1057
01:36:12.000 --> 01:36:13.760
of the bed. She was the left side of the bed.

1058
01:36:14.640 --> 01:36:17.920
Not quite sure why, but and I was getting undressed,

1059
01:36:18.039 --> 01:36:22.600
and she decided for some reason to watch me. I'm like, okay,

1060
01:36:22.920 --> 01:36:27.079
this is awkward because at the time I was working

1061
01:36:27.319 --> 01:36:31.600
in a very cold environment and it was winter as well.

1062
01:36:32.039 --> 01:36:34.960
So I had my fermal underwear, but they were long Johns.

1063
01:36:35.880 --> 01:36:40.079
So I had normal underpants, then my fermal long Johns,

1064
01:36:40.279 --> 01:36:45.119
which basically covered my whole legs and up to you know,

1065
01:36:46.039 --> 01:36:49.640
like basically like trousers really but thermal. And then I

1066
01:36:49.720 --> 01:36:54.560
had my jeans on top. So what I was trying

1067
01:36:54.600 --> 01:37:00.760
to do is take my trousers on, my jeans off,

1068
01:37:01.800 --> 01:37:09.319
and Paul, okay, let's be honest. I forgot I had

1069
01:37:09.399 --> 01:37:14.359
him on. I forgot I had him on. And I

1070
01:37:14.520 --> 01:37:16.880
was like, okay, if I give you a little bit

1071
01:37:16.880 --> 01:37:20.960
of a show. And I just undid my jeans and

1072
01:37:22.720 --> 01:37:24.760
let them fall to the ground. And now I was

1073
01:37:24.920 --> 01:37:32.000
standing there with my blue long John's thermal long John's,

1074
01:37:35.039 --> 01:37:40.399
and she's I think she's still laughing today. Seriously. It

1075
01:37:40.600 --> 01:37:48.159
was apparently it wasn't the biggest aphrodisiac ever. When she

1076
01:37:48.279 --> 01:37:51.640
talked about it, for years later, laughing at it. I

1077
01:37:51.840 --> 01:37:59.279
remember you and your long your long Johns. Yeah, it's

1078
01:37:59.319 --> 01:38:03.439
like it was cold. Wasn't that cold? No one else

1079
01:38:03.560 --> 01:38:06.119
wears Long Johns. And I was like, okay, wait a minute,

1080
01:38:06.159 --> 01:38:09.359
you're telling me that the factory that produced these Long

1081
01:38:09.479 --> 01:38:14.840
Johns created them just for me. The whole business was

1082
01:38:14.960 --> 01:38:17.600
created just so I could have this pair of Long Johns.

1083
01:38:21.920 --> 01:38:24.079
She didn't answer, but then she wasn't in the room.

1084
01:38:24.199 --> 01:38:27.039
She was outside at the time. But I was pleased

1085
01:38:27.079 --> 01:38:31.520
with my argument. She was busy going downstairs getting a

1086
01:38:31.600 --> 01:38:36.640
yogurt antie. While she's going downstairs to get a spoon

1087
01:38:36.760 --> 01:38:39.640
for the yogurt that she asked me to hold. And

1088
01:38:40.119 --> 01:38:41.960
there's a whole new story for that one as well,

1089
01:38:42.520 --> 01:38:47.319
because I misunderstood what the yogurt was for. Then she

1090
01:38:47.439 --> 01:38:52.000
comes up and takes the yogurt off me and starts

1091
01:38:52.079 --> 01:38:54.199
eating it with a spoon. I didn't know she was

1092
01:38:54.239 --> 01:38:57.000
going downstairs to get a spoon. You see, she said,

1093
01:38:57.039 --> 01:39:01.399
hold that yogurt. I'm going to enjoy with this, and

1094
01:39:01.560 --> 01:39:07.560
she goes downstairs, and I was like, oh, brilliant, And anyway,

1095
01:39:07.760 --> 01:39:12.640
I got that wrong. Underwear was once used as a

1096
01:39:12.760 --> 01:39:17.840
form of currency in prisons. I just don't know what

1097
01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:21.159
to make of that. I'm not sure. Some pets of

1098
01:39:21.239 --> 01:39:26.840
doggy underwear for hygiene or heat control. Cool doggies can

1099
01:39:26.920 --> 01:39:30.760
do anything they want. There's a Guinness Book of Record,

1100
01:39:32.039 --> 01:39:35.079
a Guinness World Record for fastest time to put on

1101
01:39:35.359 --> 01:39:40.920
ten pairs. That sounds love like something that my friend

1102
01:39:41.079 --> 01:39:41.520
would be.

1103
01:39:43.439 --> 01:39:43.479
Have.

1104
01:39:45.479 --> 01:39:48.199
His name is Dean Gold. His name is Dean Gold,

1105
01:39:48.479 --> 01:39:51.399
and I was friends with him for years. I seen

1106
01:39:51.439 --> 01:39:57.239
him recently, but I want to see who hells that record?

1107
01:39:58.439 --> 01:40:06.840
Oh that she's buy Nicholas Manning in twoenty twenty three, okay,

1108
01:40:07.000 --> 01:40:19.199
fair enough? Thirteen seconds. A twenty nineteen trend wearing underwear

1109
01:40:19.359 --> 01:40:25.680
overclothes at festivals. Okay, it was a trend. I don't

1110
01:40:25.680 --> 01:40:28.520
remember that, but then I didn't never been to a festival.

1111
01:40:31.239 --> 01:40:36.079
Elvis Presley's underwear once sold for over eight thousand dollars

1112
01:40:36.359 --> 01:40:43.720
at auction. Fair enough. And there's a professional sport called

1113
01:40:43.960 --> 01:40:49.399
underwear run popular in colleges. I don't really know what

1114
01:40:49.520 --> 01:40:54.600
that is. Is that where people go to learn stuff? No,

1115
01:40:54.720 --> 01:41:00.159
I'm talk about the underwear run. Some couples buying which

1116
01:41:00.199 --> 01:41:08.800
in underwear to feel emotionally closer Okay, if it works,

1117
01:41:08.840 --> 01:41:14.319
it is good good. There are now AI generated underwear

1118
01:41:14.399 --> 01:41:21.399
designs being tested, and apparently some monks wear only underwear

1119
01:41:21.840 --> 01:41:32.600
as a form of spiritual discipline. In twenty twenty, the

1120
01:41:32.800 --> 01:41:44.960
UK government spent millions undisposable underwear. Okay, it's uh yeah,

1121
01:41:45.159 --> 01:41:59.359
it's a weird one, isn't it. Underwear? Charcoal filtered underwear.

1122
01:41:59.399 --> 01:42:01.279
I don't know that one that. Just think it's a

1123
01:42:01.319 --> 01:42:07.520
bit strange. And Elvis Presley, I mean, people are going

1124
01:42:07.600 --> 01:42:10.760
to spend huge amounts of money on anything that he owned,

1125
01:42:10.760 --> 01:42:15.319
wouldn't they Just I'm not sure if underwear would be

1126
01:42:15.359 --> 01:42:18.680
the first thing I'd look for, though. You know, if

1127
01:42:18.720 --> 01:42:25.840
there's an auction for your favorite singer, and maybe they

1128
01:42:25.840 --> 01:42:29.479
weren't around anymore, and there was an auction and all

1129
01:42:29.560 --> 01:42:33.840
their belongings were kind of being sold off, and there

1130
01:42:33.920 --> 01:42:37.119
was a catalog maybe to all website you're looking through it.

1131
01:42:37.479 --> 01:42:40.520
I wouldn't go straight to the underwear section, That's all

1132
01:42:40.560 --> 01:42:48.560
I'm saying. I mean, I'll get there eventually, maybe second,

1133
01:42:48.800 --> 01:42:59.800
but not first. No, No, I wouldn't go straight there anyway.

1134
01:43:00.800 --> 01:43:04.399
That seems to appear to be the end of this

1135
01:43:04.800 --> 01:43:10.199
here recording Q and a not Q and a Friday blimey,

1136
01:43:10.840 --> 01:43:12.319
I'm in the wrong day. You know.

1137
01:43:13.239 --> 01:43:13.640
This is.

1138
01:43:15.600 --> 01:43:21.479
Trivia Tuesday. So thank you for listening. Remember to be

1139
01:43:21.640 --> 01:43:24.520
kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy

1140
01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:30.000
and be gentle of yourself. You deserve to feel safe,

1141
01:43:32.039 --> 01:43:50.760
lots of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and

1142
01:43:54.640 --> 01:44:01.960
meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just

1143
01:44:02.319 --> 01:44:12.359
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time

1144
01:44:13.079 --> 01:44:21.399
we've spend together here, not just relaxed at the end

1145
01:44:21.520 --> 01:44:25.920
of the recording when it's finished and you can enjoy

1146
01:44:26.119 --> 01:44:43.479
that sense of comfort and peace, but also I think

1147
01:44:43.560 --> 01:44:54.720
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation

1148
01:44:57.119 --> 01:45:11.279
continue for longer after the recording is ended, so that

1149
01:45:11.439 --> 01:45:23.840
you can still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe

1150
01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:35.319
in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by

1151
01:45:35.479 --> 01:45:43.279
listening regularly, especially if you find like some people do

1152
01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:48.199
and myself as well. Sometimes I find one particular recording

1153
01:45:48.920 --> 01:45:57.680
that really resonates with me, and I just listen to

1154
01:45:57.800 --> 01:46:10.720
it over and over again every morning, every evening. There

1155
01:46:10.800 --> 01:46:15.800
was this recording from We're going back to about nineteen

1156
01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:23.640
ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations.

1157
01:46:23.760 --> 01:46:30.720
It kind of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to

1158
01:46:30.840 --> 01:46:34.279
find it again and it still has the same effect

1159
01:46:34.840 --> 01:46:44.039
on me. And part of it was the person's voice

1160
01:46:46.880 --> 01:46:56.439
relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful, and I'd look

1161
01:46:56.640 --> 01:47:03.600
forward to listening to her in the morning and in

1162
01:47:03.680 --> 01:47:14.920
the evening, and I knew before even pressing the play

1163
01:47:15.039 --> 01:47:22.399
button that as soon as I've done that pressed the

1164
01:47:22.479 --> 01:47:31.560
play button. This was in the days of CD players

1165
01:47:34.560 --> 01:47:40.039
pressed the play button. In fact, it might have even

1166
01:47:40.119 --> 01:47:44.560
been a tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed

1167
01:47:44.840 --> 01:48:01.479
and then even without necessarily listening to her words because

1168
01:48:03.399 --> 01:48:10.520
I had them memorized. Really, it was as if my

1169
01:48:10.680 --> 01:48:22.000
body knew exactly what to do, and the muscles just

1170
01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:43.800
almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind

1171
01:48:46.640 --> 01:48:57.560
would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening to this

1172
01:48:57.760 --> 01:49:07.199
recording in the early days of learning hypnosis, and long

1173
01:49:07.319 --> 01:49:15.840
before I ever made any videos or audio recordings myself,

1174
01:49:17.079 --> 01:49:20.399
because I didn't start doing that till two thousand and six,

1175
01:49:27.359 --> 01:49:43.279
I knew, I knew how helpful I found being able

1176
01:49:43.359 --> 01:49:52.399
to just let go, to have that trust in the

1177
01:49:52.520 --> 01:50:02.840
person that I'm listening to, knowing that it's going to

1178
01:50:02.960 --> 01:50:13.680
be just as relaxing, if not more so, each time

1179
01:50:14.000 --> 01:50:26.479
you hear my voice, you may feel the same. Some

1180
01:50:26.840 --> 01:50:33.439
people have been listening to me for over a decade,

1181
01:50:41.880 --> 01:50:45.880
maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

1182
01:50:47.640 --> 01:50:54.159
but maybe people come back. Some people may be listen

1183
01:50:54.239 --> 01:51:10.760
every day. That's something that I do which you may

1184
01:51:10.920 --> 01:51:29.760
not realize by listening, is when I record these recordings.

1185
01:51:31.479 --> 01:51:31.680
Now.

1186
01:51:32.039 --> 01:51:44.520
For example, I also am affected by the words that

1187
01:51:44.680 --> 01:51:56.800
I say. So if I set you focus on your feet,

1188
01:51:59.359 --> 01:52:07.079
notice your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1189
01:52:12.000 --> 01:52:29.359
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

1190
01:52:29.520 --> 01:52:37.159
focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between

1191
01:52:37.279 --> 01:52:48.079
each hand, perhaps notice the air in the room, the

1192
01:52:48.239 --> 01:52:52.840
temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.

1193
01:53:00.680 --> 01:53:04.479
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

1194
01:53:04.680 --> 01:53:12.600
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1195
01:53:13.159 --> 01:53:17.880
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

1196
01:53:26.239 --> 01:53:36.800
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

1197
01:53:37.199 --> 01:54:05.359
aware of how relaxed my hands are feeling now and

1198
01:54:05.560 --> 01:54:12.439
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

1199
01:54:12.560 --> 01:54:25.720
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

1200
01:54:28.960 --> 01:54:42.399
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

1201
01:54:50.319 --> 01:55:02.880
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

1202
01:55:07.760 --> 01:55:16.880
and then I carry on talking, and it's suddenly when

1203
01:55:17.239 --> 01:55:26.279
I listen back to do the editing, I hear snoring,

1204
01:55:28.199 --> 01:55:35.479
and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

1205
01:55:38.319 --> 01:55:45.439
Is this snoring was a pick turned up? That's why

1206
01:55:45.520 --> 01:55:53.720
I sound like when I snore, I get really into

1207
01:55:53.840 --> 01:56:13.199
the whole experience. I don't know how you feel, how

1208
01:56:13.319 --> 01:56:24.079
relaxed you feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel

1209
01:56:24.319 --> 01:56:51.000
in your hands. I have noticed more and more that

1210
01:56:51.159 --> 01:57:03.560
the more relaxed, deeper, live, full of comfort you feel,

1211
01:57:07.279 --> 01:57:23.399
the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional

1212
01:57:26.600 --> 01:57:47.520
muscle relaxation. So this allows you to breathe easier without

1213
01:57:49.039 --> 01:58:09.680
necessarily focusing on your breath, however, being able to notice

1214
01:58:20.399 --> 01:58:50.039
the ease in which you breathe so naturally, you breathe

1215
01:58:50.680 --> 01:59:34.359
so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving,

1216
01:59:40.079 --> 01:59:53.359
when I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize

1217
01:59:55.520 --> 02:00:12.279
a beautiful field, trees and flowers producing all that life

1218
02:00:12.439 --> 02:00:44.720
giving oxygen. And it feels nice too, if nothing else,

1219
02:00:47.960 --> 02:01:22.039
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling

1220
02:01:22.439 --> 02:02:12.920
of peace, serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to

1221
02:02:13.239 --> 02:02:48.319
just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful,

1222
02:02:58.279 --> 02:03:41.039
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

1223
02:04:07.520 --> 02:04:58.880
noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because

1224
02:04:59.079 --> 02:05:27.640
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical

1225
02:05:28.000 --> 02:05:39.640
sensations of allowing the stress to drip out of your body,

1226
02:05:46.159 --> 02:06:09.079
d appear out of every part of your body, and

1227
02:06:09.479 --> 02:06:48.920
being released from your brain. Hue your mind slowly but surely.

1228
02:06:55.840 --> 02:07:33.199
The muscles in your legs relax rex relax so very deeply,

1229
02:07:43.039 --> 02:08:14.000
relax so deeply. And the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

1230
02:08:14.119 --> 02:08:38.640
your arms and shoulders, deepening each part of your body

1231
02:08:42.000 --> 02:09:20.319
further and deeper and deep noticine, the feedings in the

1232
02:09:20.439 --> 02:10:20.359
back of your neck, the feedings in your wrists, muscles

1233
02:10:22.439 --> 02:10:59.560
in front of your body. I also feeling peaceful, deep

1234
02:11:16.720 --> 02:11:27.039
There's a sense of peace spreads through your very cool

1235
02:11:57.520 --> 02:12:17.439
even when knew focus on your mind, her mind becomes

1236
02:12:24.800 --> 02:13:47.640
be and slower, even deeper, relax, a very slow stomach,

1237
02:14:01.800 --> 02:14:44.760
peace fall in your stomach held back. Notice notice how relaxed.

1238
02:14:49.199 --> 02:15:27.199
You now feel in the hall of your back, in

1239
02:15:27.279 --> 02:15:36.159
a spy from your brain all the way down the

1240
02:15:36.359 --> 02:15:47.000
middle of your back, sending and receiving millions of messages

1241
02:15:47.760 --> 02:16:47.719
every day. The comfort increase in deeply relaxed. Your knees

1242
02:17:13.559 --> 02:17:27.360
relax spreading those signals down your spine or cord into air,

1243
02:17:27.639 --> 02:17:46.360
every part of your body, your shins and your calf

1244
02:17:46.559 --> 02:18:36.280
muscles m hm hm, your elbows. Feelings of peace and

1245
02:18:36.440 --> 02:18:54.440
tranquility spreading through your body, tips of your toes, to

1246
02:18:54.600 --> 02:19:06.600
your eyes, your angers all wait till you'll know about

1247
02:19:18.479 --> 02:20:20.840
letting her retinker, pace, h drift in mind, just wander

1248
02:20:21.040 --> 02:20:43.239
in a way happy to let go, Let go completely,

1249
02:20:45.719 --> 02:22:08.840
let go, said tranquil, whole body enjoying a sensor listening

1250
02:22:09.040 --> 02:24:11.719
that hey more, hey, joy the space, this space of

1251
02:24:12.079 --> 02:24:41.200
peace and safety. So firy.

1252
02:24:48.319 --> 02:25:33.559
Relaxed us.

1253
02:25:51.280 --> 02:26:42.760
Leading to letting go. Maybe we can just focus on

1254
02:26:42.959 --> 02:27:17.600
the different parts of your body, just to notice your

1255
02:27:17.840 --> 02:28:20.719
forehead and your eyes, jun said, noticing the sense of

1256
02:28:23.719 --> 02:30:28.680
complete freedom, absolute freedom, dress, dress, day's fall, energy, paste,

1257
02:30:29.200 --> 02:31:40.280
to breeze, so much ease, yeah, loose. You may have

1258
02:31:43.799 --> 02:32:43.840
you may not have noticed your mind drifting, peaceful move

1259
02:32:44.280 --> 02:33:04.120
any even more deeply in the direction of total blissful

1260
02:33:04.479 --> 02:35:12.799
pace blisphor pace raft t to pace, let him go,

1261
02:35:37.719 --> 02:36:48.600
peace of mind, rex body c, rexed c relaxed. A

1262
02:36:48.879 --> 02:37:46.520
body feels almost invisible, so the very relaxed paceful so pace, relax,

1263
02:37:53.479 --> 02:38:33.360
let go, and you could start to notice that you

1264
02:38:34.879 --> 02:38:46.159
are feeling more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused

1265
02:38:46.600 --> 02:38:54.719
your mind upon that sense of physical comfort that is

1266
02:38:54.959 --> 02:39:04.200
growing within you throughout your body, and your mind starts

1267
02:39:04.280 --> 02:39:13.840
to slow down, and that could be almost in recognition

1268
02:39:14.440 --> 02:39:28.280
of I guess my speech not being particularly fast, and

1269
02:39:28.479 --> 02:39:39.319
things just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice,

1270
02:39:42.399 --> 02:39:49.360
you give yourself an opportunity to take a break from

1271
02:39:49.399 --> 02:39:55.920
the day, take a break from your life as it is,

1272
02:39:59.360 --> 02:40:06.959
and to give you self arrest, giving yourself permission to

1273
02:40:07.079 --> 02:40:12.319
take some time off, and to allow your body to

1274
02:40:12.479 --> 02:40:22.159
relax and allow your mind to slow down, which in

1275
02:40:22.319 --> 02:40:30.239
turn releases the tension any stresses that you had in

1276
02:40:30.319 --> 02:40:40.120
your body. It's almost as if the parts of your

1277
02:40:40.159 --> 02:40:52.200
body just open up, allowing the negativity out and at

1278
02:40:52.239 --> 02:41:00.479
the same time replacing that negativity with positive healing energy,

1279
02:41:03.600 --> 02:41:08.159
which then fills your body up and your mind to

1280
02:41:09.840 --> 02:41:28.239
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an

1281
02:41:28.319 --> 02:41:45.399
almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through

1282
02:41:45.479 --> 02:41:56.120
your body like a wave of comfort. And all this

1283
02:41:56.479 --> 02:42:08.520
comes from just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half

1284
02:42:08.600 --> 02:42:12.399
an hour, however long you want it to be, to

1285
02:42:12.760 --> 02:42:26.559
just rest and allow your mind and your body to

1286
02:42:26.719 --> 02:42:43.280
almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

1287
02:42:47.600 --> 02:42:56.920
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness

1288
02:43:00.959 --> 02:43:09.799
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

1289
02:43:10.600 --> 02:43:15.159
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,

1290
02:43:19.440 --> 02:43:29.159
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness.

1291
02:43:34.200 --> 02:43:41.680
And it feels nice, really does feel nice to know

1292
02:43:41.959 --> 02:43:50.799
that you are the one that has allowed yourself to

1293
02:43:51.079 --> 02:44:05.079
feel more comfort than to experience more of this deep

1294
02:44:05.520 --> 02:44:21.559
relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus on

1295
02:44:21.840 --> 02:44:27.559
each part of your body, you can notice that that

1296
02:44:27.879 --> 02:44:42.000
part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1297
02:44:44.559 --> 02:44:54.200
It becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing.

1298
02:44:58.280 --> 02:45:03.440
And as I move down on your body, starting at

1299
02:45:03.479 --> 02:45:09.520
your head, the parts that you have already focused on

1300
02:45:10.159 --> 02:45:19.159
will continue to relax deeply and those parts that have

1301
02:45:19.920 --> 02:45:31.520
not yet focused on or just automatically release any remain

1302
02:45:31.639 --> 02:45:45.399
intention in anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now,

1303
02:45:47.799 --> 02:45:54.000
I'm going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just

1304
02:45:54.159 --> 02:46:02.520
being aware of the feelings of your forehead and then

1305
02:46:02.559 --> 02:46:10.239
your background sounds like mister Herbert's opinion, can just allow

1306
02:46:10.319 --> 02:46:17.440
you to feel even more relaxed. Just means you in

1307
02:46:17.559 --> 02:46:25.600
the moment, this isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This

1308
02:46:25.799 --> 02:46:33.639
is the world. I live in the countryside, so there's

1309
02:46:33.719 --> 02:46:44.000
lots of nature sounds around. So as you focus on

1310
02:46:44.159 --> 02:46:51.760
your forehead, just notice how it becomes even more relaxed.

1311
02:46:54.600 --> 02:47:01.879
Focus only on my voice and that part of your body.

1312
02:47:07.079 --> 02:47:15.360
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1313
02:47:17.840 --> 02:47:27.520
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1314
02:47:27.559 --> 02:47:34.040
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1315
02:47:34.280 --> 02:47:48.680
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1316
02:47:49.159 --> 02:47:55.799
your tongue, your teeth, and your guns, the whole of

1317
02:47:55.959 --> 02:48:10.719
your mouth relaxing, calm and glease. As you focus now

1318
02:48:11.559 --> 02:48:18.440
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw

1319
02:48:18.559 --> 02:48:22.959
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way

1320
02:48:23.079 --> 02:48:29.440
up the size of your face, to your ears, the

1321
02:48:29.680 --> 02:48:54.159
hole of your jaw feeding more relaxed and calm, focusing

1322
02:48:57.680 --> 02:49:02.840
on your neck, the front of your neck and your

1323
02:49:02.959 --> 02:49:16.280
throat relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of your neck,

1324
02:49:18.360 --> 02:49:25.280
the right and left side of your neck relax and

1325
02:49:26.840 --> 02:49:40.479
lease and calm. And now the back of your neck,

1326
02:49:43.760 --> 02:49:53.760
focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of

1327
02:49:53.959 --> 02:50:00.680
any tension that may have been there before, and joy

1328
02:50:00.840 --> 02:50:13.799
in that sense of increasing comfort and release. Then you

1329
02:50:13.959 --> 02:50:24.719
can experience in the back of your neck, moving down

1330
02:50:25.239 --> 02:50:32.479
your back and moving either side of your spine right

1331
02:50:32.639 --> 02:50:37.559
from the top of your back all the way down

1332
02:50:38.200 --> 02:50:50.600
to the bottom of your back down to your lower back.

1333
02:50:55.840 --> 02:51:02.959
As you move up and down your spine, you can

1334
02:51:03.159 --> 02:51:11.360
feel the muscles either side of your spine relaxing even more.

1335
02:51:18.879 --> 02:51:25.600
And as those muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts

1336
02:51:25.719 --> 02:51:35.840
to spread outwards from your spine into both sides of

1337
02:51:35.920 --> 02:51:43.040
your back, the top of your back, the middle end

1338
02:51:43.040 --> 02:51:52.520
your lower back. And as you scan gently and slowly

1339
02:51:53.799 --> 02:51:59.040
up and down your back, there's the muscles in the

1340
02:51:59.159 --> 02:52:09.000
top of your back relax and become looser. The muscles

1341
02:52:09.159 --> 02:52:14.760
in the middle of your back also seem to just

1342
02:52:15.239 --> 02:52:29.719
almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting, and

1343
02:52:29.959 --> 02:52:36.000
in your lower back there seems to be an extra

1344
02:52:36.239 --> 02:52:52.360
special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips, sit

1345
02:52:52.479 --> 02:53:00.559
down your lower back, into your hips, into the area

1346
02:53:00.639 --> 02:53:09.200
where your cosix are, and into your buttocks and all

1347
02:53:09.399 --> 02:53:18.479
is muscles that spread bring your lower back into your

1348
02:53:18.600 --> 02:53:31.840
hip area, start to melt, start to really let go,

1349
02:53:38.520 --> 02:53:43.360
and you know where about to focus on your shoulders.

1350
02:53:45.120 --> 02:53:52.120
Your back and your spine will continue to let go,

1351
02:53:55.159 --> 02:54:11.840
continue to relax so calmly, and you focus on your shoulders,

1352
02:54:13.639 --> 02:54:29.719
you may notice they're already feeding really loose, they're already

1353
02:54:32.760 --> 02:54:55.719
feeding calm and they fearing those muscles. The move from

1354
02:54:55.799 --> 02:55:11.319
your neck into your shoulders feels so soft and gentle,

1355
02:55:15.440 --> 02:55:37.040
so smooth and calm, and the feeling in your shoulders

1356
02:55:44.360 --> 02:55:52.840
seems to spread deep into your shoulders, a sense of relaxation,

1357
02:55:54.079 --> 02:56:05.559
not just traveling deeply into you almost but also relaxing

1358
02:56:08.440 --> 02:56:18.319
the bones and moving all the way to underneath your arms,

1359
02:56:21.159 --> 02:56:27.079
relaxing a whole area between the tops of your shoulders

1360
02:56:28.440 --> 02:56:46.159
and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and

1361
02:56:46.440 --> 02:57:02.040
comfortable in your shoulders, which sense that deep healing message

1362
02:57:07.399 --> 02:57:19.239
into your arms. You may feel almost as if your

1363
02:57:19.600 --> 02:57:28.840
arms are not even that, because they so relaxed, so

1364
02:57:30.440 --> 02:58:19.000
deeply relaxed, so calm, so loose. That feeling spreading all

1365
02:58:19.479 --> 02:58:33.120
the way down your arms, two elbows, including your elbows

1366
02:58:43.040 --> 02:59:00.440
circumfort spreads your way into wrists, your forearments and yours

1367
02:59:07.200 --> 02:59:27.479
so heavy. Yet at the same time sunlight and gentle

1368
02:59:52.200 --> 03:00:29.120
frey sent now on your hea hands, your hands so

1369
03:00:30.479 --> 03:00:58.639
peaceful in your hands, with a sense of real pace.

1370
03:01:10.440 --> 03:01:24.120
It just seems to feel so familion when your hands

1371
03:01:24.479 --> 03:03:02.120
relax deeply else your thing iss frish you think it

1372
03:03:02.360 --> 03:04:01.520
tips maing attention to front. Your body so comfortable, my

1373
03:04:01.840 --> 03:05:46.719
manu focuss like my souls and your thighs and names

1374
03:05:50.760 --> 03:08:30.000

Peace fall.

1378
03:10:02.280 --> 03:10:18.239
Calm, allout that deep relaxation to spread your chest, your stumm,

1379
03:10:31.399 --> 03:10:50.479
let me go everything. So I'm gonna start counting down now,

1380
03:10:53.159 --> 03:11:01.840
from twenty down to one. You can imagine in a

1381
03:11:01.920 --> 03:11:07.719
way it's like just walking down some steps and each

1382
03:11:07.920 --> 03:11:13.559
step or twenty steps, and each step represents a level

1383
03:11:14.120 --> 03:11:26.840
of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of that comfort,

1384
03:11:33.479 --> 03:11:39.159
and the fervies you walk down those steps, the deeper

1385
03:11:39.559 --> 03:12:57.000
and more relaxed you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen,

1386
03:13:34.959 --> 03:17:22.559
seventeen sixteenhhhh three four four two.

1387
03:18:28.959 --> 03:20:15.799
Well no.

1388
03:22:47.319 --> 03:27:59.840
Eight seven us six five four.

1389
03:28:22.559 --> 03:30:04.000
Da us.

1390
03:32:27.920 --> 03:32:44.959
Now, as you focus on your eyes, we're gonna count

1391
03:32:45.079 --> 03:32:56.879
down from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

1392
03:33:00.639 --> 03:33:09.159
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1393
03:33:10.680 --> 03:33:27.680
our whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1394
03:33:27.799 --> 03:33:36.319
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focusing

1395
03:33:36.559 --> 03:33:51.959
on your eyes, you become twice is relaxed. With each

1396
03:33:52.399 --> 03:34:04.639
number counting down, that you may find and the all

1397
03:34:04.760 --> 03:34:10.920
you want to do is just drift off to sleep.

1398
03:34:13.920 --> 03:34:20.520
And if that's what you want, then just allow yourself

1399
03:34:20.639 --> 03:34:35.280
to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going

1400
03:34:35.399 --> 03:34:45.360
to begin counting down from ten down to one right now,

1401
03:34:53.920 --> 03:35:55.680
ten nine eight.

1402
03:36:15.760 --> 03:39:59.719
Seven us.

1403
03:40:03.920 --> 03:44:10.760
Four three two counting down from ten to one ten

1404
03:44:12.719 --> 03:44:41.920
nine eight seven six five four three two one. And

1405
03:44:42.079 --> 03:44:45.440
maybe that was a bit too quick in order to relax.

1406
03:44:46.680 --> 03:44:50.920
Maybe it's a bit too fast for you to notice

1407
03:44:51.200 --> 03:44:59.239
the calming of your body, maybe even a little bit

1408
03:44:59.280 --> 03:45:03.719
of pressure. You're counting down from ten to one. Would

1409
03:45:03.719 --> 03:45:06.959
you expect me to do? Man, expect me to just

1410
03:45:07.040 --> 03:45:16.520
to go with floppy just because you're counting down. I

1411
03:45:16.600 --> 03:45:19.879
could try it again, but this time I'll go a

1412
03:45:19.920 --> 03:45:27.319
bit slower this time, as you focus on the whole

1413
03:45:27.440 --> 03:45:33.680
of your body before we focus on your legs. Just

1414
03:45:33.920 --> 03:45:43.879
notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed

1415
03:45:48.680 --> 03:46:42.879
with every number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

1416
03:46:50.319 --> 03:47:41.799
three two one, And just notice how how you feel, generally,

1417
03:47:42.239 --> 03:47:56.559
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

1418
03:47:56.680 --> 03:48:03.799
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

1419
03:48:05.120 --> 03:48:23.600
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

1420
03:48:28.319 --> 03:48:33.520
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

1421
03:48:33.719 --> 03:48:40.319
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So

1422
03:48:41.040 --> 03:48:44.040
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1423
03:48:44.079 --> 03:48:55.079
a space, a gap. And the more I came down

1424
03:48:55.120 --> 03:49:02.520
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1425
03:49:02.639 --> 03:49:15.040
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

1426
03:49:15.200 --> 03:49:29.200
nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically

1427
03:49:29.399 --> 03:49:41.520
or emotionally moves them away. Allows you.

1428
03:49:44.239 --> 03:49:44.760
To just.

1429
03:49:47.760 --> 03:49:54.479
Slow down. Someone to count again from ten down to one,

1430
03:49:54.879 --> 03:50:05.120
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1431
03:50:05.200 --> 03:50:11.239
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

1432
03:50:11.319 --> 03:51:21.399
gap and gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1433
03:51:32.159 --> 03:51:32.719
Four.

1434
03:51:50.799 --> 03:52:44.360
Three two one. Now, how did your body feel? Now?

1435
03:52:57.079 --> 03:53:08.719
Can you notice the do you feel a calma? What

1436
03:53:08.840 --> 03:53:37.120
are you feeling more relaxed? As we now focus on

1437
03:53:37.239 --> 03:53:57.920
your legs, just your legs. We're just gonna start with

1438
03:53:58.319 --> 03:54:17.280
focusing on your thighs. Of course, it's not the most

1439
03:54:18.600 --> 03:54:25.879
exciting thing to be doing because I'm sure, like most

1440
03:54:25.920 --> 03:54:28.760
of your body is not a lot going on right now.

1441
03:54:37.879 --> 03:54:44.159
Just focusing on the whole of your thighs, the tops

1442
03:54:44.200 --> 03:54:50.280
of your thighs, the sides of your thighs, the bottoms

1443
03:54:50.319 --> 03:54:54.799
of your thighs, your outer thighs, and your inner thighs.

1444
03:54:57.040 --> 03:55:00.920
Basically the whole of your thigh that leads into your

1445
03:55:01.040 --> 03:55:15.959
hip and it goes down to your knee joint. Now,

1446
03:55:16.040 --> 03:55:23.040
this is a big area. It's a very heavy area.

1447
03:55:23.559 --> 03:55:29.120
It's a very strong probably the strongest muscles in your

1448
03:55:29.200 --> 03:55:42.159
body or in your thighs, but I don't think we

1449
03:55:43.959 --> 03:55:56.959
perhaps give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we don't

1450
03:55:58.360 --> 03:56:19.000
acknowledge how important our thighs are to our lives, how

1451
03:56:19.120 --> 03:56:28.239
much they actually do for us all through our lives.

1452
03:56:35.399 --> 03:56:40.959
And it may seem to sound really weird, but I

1453
03:56:41.079 --> 03:56:47.079
think that all of our body parts, especially our thighs,

1454
03:56:48.079 --> 03:56:55.399
needs some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit

1455
03:56:55.440 --> 03:57:14.159
of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for what our thighs do

1456
03:57:14.399 --> 03:57:24.040
for us. And I know this may sound a bit strange.

1457
03:57:26.639 --> 03:57:29.680
Maybe you think, why am I sure that I should

1458
03:57:29.680 --> 03:57:34.600
be out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,

1459
03:57:38.719 --> 03:57:41.000
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.

1460
03:57:42.040 --> 03:57:44.280
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

1461
03:57:44.319 --> 03:57:48.040
outside hugging a tree. Now I can't see the television

1462
03:57:48.079 --> 03:57:56.719
from the tree. If you move down to your knees

1463
03:57:58.600 --> 03:58:06.079
gain such an important what a part. And I think

1464
03:58:06.159 --> 03:58:13.040
we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I don't

1465
03:58:13.120 --> 03:58:19.559
necessarily appreciate all that my needs do for me until

1466
03:58:21.120 --> 03:58:24.600
I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if

1467
03:58:24.639 --> 03:58:29.639
I ever maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching for

1468
03:58:29.799 --> 03:58:36.520
some reason. It's then that I realize how much it does.

1469
03:58:38.159 --> 03:58:41.399
You know, the benefit of being able to use my

1470
03:58:41.639 --> 03:58:51.319
legs without any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful

1471
03:58:51.399 --> 03:59:00.760
thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know,

1472
03:59:00.920 --> 03:59:10.319
that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees, regardless

1473
03:59:10.440 --> 03:59:15.959
of how your knees feel, you can have that sense

1474
03:59:16.079 --> 03:59:22.000
of gratitude and love to your knees for all that

1475
03:59:22.120 --> 03:59:34.360
they do for you, and you can still have that

1476
03:59:34.520 --> 03:59:39.440
attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel.

1477
03:59:41.600 --> 03:59:59.520
Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as

1478
03:59:59.559 --> 04:00:03.840
you folk, because now on the bottoms of your legs,

1479
04:00:04.319 --> 04:00:10.120
your shins and your calf muscles, the bones between your

1480
04:00:11.079 --> 04:00:16.760
knees and your feet incorporate, and of course your ankles

1481
04:00:19.079 --> 04:00:28.360
so important. You know, anyone that's had even like the

1482
04:00:28.600 --> 04:00:35.399
slightest sprain of an ankle knows how how much we

1483
04:00:35.559 --> 04:00:45.799
take our ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange

1484
04:00:45.840 --> 04:00:50.680
in a way when you think that. You know, logically,

1485
04:00:51.000 --> 04:00:54.079
our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of

1486
04:00:54.159 --> 04:00:58.840
our arms, which is okay, it doesn't you can't see

1487
04:00:58.840 --> 04:01:02.360
any problem with that because we're just picking stuff up

1488
04:01:03.959 --> 04:01:09.559
by our ankles so much thinner than the rest of

1489
04:01:09.600 --> 04:01:20.479
our legs, and from a physics perspective or logical even

1490
04:01:20.559 --> 04:01:26.280
it doesn't really make sense that all this weight would

1491
04:01:26.360 --> 04:01:33.559
ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading to your feet,

1492
04:01:38.120 --> 04:01:46.959
that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does so much

1493
04:01:47.079 --> 04:01:54.120
great work. Supports us, supports our body for a lifetime,

1494
04:01:58.879 --> 04:02:08.600
helps us to balance, helps you to get around and

1495
04:02:08.760 --> 04:02:22.760
be mobile. And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when

1496
04:02:22.840 --> 04:02:25.959
I was younger, I couldn't see the pointing calf muscles.

1497
04:02:26.680 --> 04:02:31.440
I didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked

1498
04:02:31.440 --> 04:02:35.120
around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get some work.

1499
04:02:36.520 --> 04:02:39.079
But of course that's not true. The calf muscles are

1500
04:02:39.159 --> 04:02:49.040
being used whenever we use the legs and your shins

1501
04:02:52.319 --> 04:03:01.319
there to protect your lower legs, shaped in a way

1502
04:03:03.159 --> 04:03:15.280
almost as a protector for the bone, leading of course

1503
04:03:15.360 --> 04:03:25.520
to your ankles and your feet. But we're not going

1504
04:03:25.559 --> 04:03:27.319
to focus on your feet, or we're just going to

1505
04:03:27.360 --> 04:03:33.959
focus on the legs. I realize that now that I've

1506
04:03:34.079 --> 04:03:35.920
mentioned your feet, you'll probably.

1507
04:03:36.559 --> 04:03:40.239
Focus on them anyway, So maybe I should focus on

1508
04:03:40.319 --> 04:03:46.120
your feet a little bit. You can have them in

1509
04:03:46.200 --> 04:03:51.959
your awareness, the same as you have your thighs in

1510
04:03:52.079 --> 04:03:56.479
your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing on your

1511
04:03:56.600 --> 04:04:01.079
thighs for a few minutes and we focus in on

1512
04:04:01.239 --> 04:04:18.440
your ankles, there's still that sensation of comfort in your thighs,

1513
04:04:23.440 --> 04:04:25.239
and there's that movement.

1514
04:04:26.440 --> 04:04:34.360
Of energy because the thighs hold lots of different sensations.

1515
04:04:35.840 --> 04:04:40.680
Of course, there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that

1516
04:04:40.840 --> 04:04:53.680
we have in our thighs, but the skin on the

1517
04:04:53.840 --> 04:04:59.280
outside of the thighs, as in the outside of all

1518
04:04:59.360 --> 04:05:08.200
of our bodies, can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch,

1519
04:05:11.000 --> 04:05:24.319
sensitive to temperature, and inside your thighs the bones, there's

1520
04:05:25.360 --> 04:05:30.159
the muscle, there's the blood, vessels, the ar trees, to

1521
04:05:30.319 --> 04:05:40.040
all this stuff inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd

1522
04:05:40.120 --> 04:05:44.200
be nice if you could actually put your fingers inside

1523
04:05:44.280 --> 04:05:49.680
your thighs and a message, so you can message on

1524
04:05:49.799 --> 04:05:53.040
the outside, of course, but to be able to get

1525
04:05:53.239 --> 04:05:56.200
deep into the muscles and to be able to just

1526
04:05:56.520 --> 04:06:02.719
message inside your thighs, Message in the bones of your

1527
04:06:02.840 --> 04:06:14.639
leg massage in or the veins, just gently healing your

1528
04:06:14.760 --> 04:06:24.239
thighs and you can move down message and inside your knees,

1529
04:06:25.719 --> 04:06:32.559
just message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading

1530
04:06:32.639 --> 04:06:38.360
that healing energy deep into the choice of your knees.

1531
04:06:43.840 --> 04:06:47.520
Of course, there's the back of your your need and

1532
04:06:47.600 --> 04:06:53.639
the inside crease where your need is. It's a very

1533
04:06:53.840 --> 04:06:59.719
sensitive area. Very it feels very nice when you stroke it.

1534
04:07:01.120 --> 04:07:04.479
That might be because it's an area that's not really

1535
04:07:04.680 --> 04:07:11.159
touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that

1536
04:07:11.479 --> 04:07:18.399
crease in your legs. It's almost like a part that

1537
04:07:20.200 --> 04:07:31.440
has a sensitivity which is a little bit different. Of course,

1538
04:07:31.520 --> 04:07:42.000
it's protected by your legs, So you can imagine putting

1539
04:07:42.879 --> 04:07:52.719
your fingers into that crease in your legs. Fold in

1540
04:07:52.840 --> 04:07:56.799
between your legs, you can just message with your fingertips.

1541
04:07:58.000 --> 04:08:04.079
Imagine your fingertips going in side massage in the muscle

1542
04:08:04.280 --> 04:08:13.639
tissue you can cause field the bones of your knees,

1543
04:08:15.159 --> 04:08:25.600
healing through your fingertips, and then as you go down

1544
04:08:28.440 --> 04:08:31.239
to your calf muscles, and that's a part I'd like

1545
04:08:31.360 --> 04:08:36.040
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1546
04:08:36.799 --> 04:08:45.760
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,

1547
04:08:47.360 --> 04:08:57.280
healing every part, and then doing the same for my shins,

1548
04:09:00.440 --> 04:09:08.639
massaging and generally stroking the bones generally stroking them, healing

1549
04:09:08.879 --> 04:09:12.959
in a loving way, because they deserve to be treated

1550
04:09:16.000 --> 04:09:20.159
as the precious bones that they are. Because our legs

1551
04:09:20.200 --> 04:09:23.559
are so precious as in all the other parts of

1552
04:09:23.639 --> 04:09:31.799
our body, the more precious at any jure on the planet.

1553
04:09:40.360 --> 04:09:48.360
When you start to think about your legs in this way,

1554
04:09:52.920 --> 04:09:59.600
it can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

1555
04:10:02.639 --> 04:10:06.959
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

1556
04:10:07.840 --> 04:10:17.840
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1557
04:10:18.000 --> 04:10:21.879
to be able to put your hands in your thighs

1558
04:10:23.840 --> 04:10:30.319
the message the muscles and the bones, and to get

1559
04:10:30.360 --> 04:10:38.479
your fingers deep in there and releasing all tension, just

1560
04:10:38.559 --> 04:10:48.000
to show how much you care about your legs, how

1561
04:10:48.120 --> 04:10:54.000
much you care for what your legs do for you regularly,

1562
04:10:56.399 --> 04:11:05.639
your knees, your calves, your an course, the strength of

1563
04:11:05.719 --> 04:11:13.799
your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to the

1564
04:11:13.920 --> 04:11:21.600
rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, this so strong,

1565
04:11:23.120 --> 04:11:37.559
so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are truly a

1566
04:11:37.719 --> 04:11:48.559
gift because of what they do for you, supporting all

1567
04:11:48.760 --> 04:11:55.639
that weight, regardless of how what weight you are, even

1568
04:11:55.680 --> 04:12:00.239
if you only eat ate stone, it's still a lot

1569
04:12:00.280 --> 04:12:06.920
of weight for these little ankles. Now I'm a lot

1570
04:12:07.159 --> 04:12:17.079
heavier than eight stone double down, yet my ankles support

1571
04:12:17.159 --> 04:12:24.520
my body all the time. What they do give off

1572
04:12:24.559 --> 04:12:30.200
a sigh of relief when I sit down. That's my

1573
04:12:30.200 --> 04:12:40.000
whole legs do My feet feel also go my toes clap.

1574
04:12:41.200 --> 04:13:09.680
I'm so happy. Your legs really are amazing. And I

1575
04:13:09.840 --> 04:13:13.719
know that talking about talking about your legs is probably

1576
04:13:16.239 --> 04:13:20.920
possibly among the most most boring things I've ever heard

1577
04:13:20.959 --> 04:13:29.360
anyone say. Possibly you're boring or not. Everything I said

1578
04:13:29.520 --> 04:13:46.159
is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not

1579
04:13:46.559 --> 04:14:05.000
just respect, they deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to

1580
04:14:05.159 --> 04:14:10.399
take some time out of the day to just let

1581
04:14:10.600 --> 04:14:47.000
go completely. Legs really can relax. And because the legs

1582
04:14:47.319 --> 04:14:52.120
are so such a most, you know, very important part

1583
04:14:52.879 --> 04:14:56.719
of your body. When you relax your legs, the rest

1584
04:14:56.799 --> 04:15:08.479
of your body also really follows in that journey of comfort.

1585
04:15:16.639 --> 04:15:20.440
Like I feel it in my hips. My hips feel

1586
04:15:21.159 --> 04:15:29.120
really loose, and also my lower back as well. My

1587
04:15:29.280 --> 04:15:35.000
lower back really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm

1588
04:15:35.079 --> 04:15:41.319
just sitting in a chair and there's no stretching. As

1589
04:15:41.360 --> 04:15:44.520
far as I'm aware that I'm doing it's almost as

1590
04:15:44.520 --> 04:15:48.440
if the muscles are just relaxed so much that there

1591
04:15:48.559 --> 04:15:57.239
is a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.

1592
04:16:13.600 --> 04:16:16.680
And I'm now going to count down from ten down

1593
04:16:16.760 --> 04:16:28.079
to one, and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed

1594
04:16:31.879 --> 04:17:14.959
ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four three two one. Relax.

1595
04:17:22.879 --> 04:17:26.719
So I'm just going to count down from five down

1596
04:17:26.760 --> 04:17:31.200
to one, and as a countdown, if you just focus

1597
04:17:31.319 --> 04:17:39.239
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1598
04:17:40.159 --> 04:17:48.159
how you feel in this moment as you hear the

1599
04:17:48.280 --> 04:17:56.360
numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent

1600
04:17:57.360 --> 04:18:06.360
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also

1601
04:18:08.639 --> 04:18:15.799
relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel. There's nothing

1602
04:18:16.520 --> 04:18:21.840
to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about,

1603
04:18:24.920 --> 04:19:14.000
starting with number five, four three two one. As you

1604
04:19:14.159 --> 04:19:26.879
notice the gradual letting go of the tension in your body,

1605
04:19:30.479 --> 04:19:36.159
you may also begin to notice and be aware of

1606
04:19:36.319 --> 04:19:45.319
how your mind is starting to slow down. This is

1607
04:19:45.479 --> 04:19:52.040
just a natural thing that happens. It's not really a

1608
04:19:52.200 --> 04:19:59.280
special procedure. It's just natural because as your body relaxes,

1609
04:19:59.440 --> 04:20:04.399
your mind and also starts to relax, and the more

1610
04:20:04.760 --> 04:20:08.000
your mind relaxes. The more your body relaxes. It's just

1611
04:20:08.159 --> 04:20:20.319
a continuous circle of relaxation, and there's that calmness that

1612
04:20:20.520 --> 04:20:27.639
comes from relative quietness. You know, even even if there's

1613
04:20:27.719 --> 04:20:35.159
background sounds either your side orline, it's still going to

1614
04:20:35.360 --> 04:20:41.040
be quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on,

1615
04:20:41.639 --> 04:20:45.840
there's no music in the background unless you're listening to

1616
04:20:45.959 --> 04:20:53.639
the recording. With music, of course, you're very likely not

1617
04:20:53.760 --> 04:20:55.799
going to be sitting in a room with other people.

1618
04:20:56.719 --> 04:21:01.600
Of course you might be, but generally more ideal if

1619
04:21:01.639 --> 04:21:06.479
you can do this on your own, so no distractions,

1620
04:21:12.639 --> 04:21:25.600
and when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises.

1621
04:21:27.959 --> 04:21:38.680
A sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying

1622
04:21:38.760 --> 04:21:47.639
to build it up into something fantastical or something magical,

1623
04:21:49.760 --> 04:21:59.879
this is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish.

1624
04:22:02.760 --> 04:22:07.120
In fact, it's almost you know, the sense of relaxing

1625
04:22:07.959 --> 04:22:13.680
completely happens really when you put no effort into it.

1626
04:22:14.719 --> 04:22:20.440
It's not something that you can really force. It's something

1627
04:22:20.559 --> 04:22:31.319
that happens naturally. And part of the process of this

1628
04:22:31.600 --> 04:22:43.559
recording and others is simply two allow you to take

1629
04:22:43.639 --> 04:22:58.440
advantage of this space this time, to just let go

1630
04:23:01.639 --> 04:23:09.840
to just be here, to be in tune with how

1631
04:23:09.959 --> 04:23:23.319
you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax

1632
04:23:23.479 --> 04:23:34.799
deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what

1633
04:23:35.000 --> 04:23:41.120
it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.

1634
04:23:48.120 --> 04:23:57.479
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process

1635
04:23:57.600 --> 04:24:02.760
of falling asleep to fall. The sleep part is the

1636
04:24:02.920 --> 04:24:10.719
tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become,

1637
04:24:14.639 --> 04:24:32.319
the easier you find yourself drifting. But you can also

1638
04:24:32.479 --> 04:24:42.559
if you choose, stay focused on my voice and really

1639
04:24:43.040 --> 04:25:12.760
enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle in your body

1640
04:25:17.799 --> 04:25:46.959
effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.

1641
04:25:53.000 --> 04:25:57.000
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,

1642
04:26:01.879 --> 04:26:11.040
and you can notice your mind calming down more with

1643
04:26:11.440 --> 04:26:25.120
each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm

1644
04:26:25.639 --> 04:29:03.799
and slow and peaceful sex five four, three, two one,

1645
04:29:24.920 --> 04:29:34.520
being aware of how your mind to slowed right down,

1646
04:29:37.760 --> 04:30:00.399
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you find because on

1647
04:30:00.520 --> 04:30:10.040
your mind, you may notice that there are some thoughts

1648
04:30:10.719 --> 04:30:19.600
still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason

1649
04:30:22.719 --> 04:30:32.399
perhaps need your attention. That's what you can do is

1650
04:30:38.079 --> 04:30:50.559
send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love

1651
04:30:52.280 --> 04:30:56.520
like little petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

1652
04:30:57.959 --> 04:31:05.079
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those

1653
04:31:05.319 --> 04:31:11.760
thoughts know that you're not abandon the number. You just

1654
04:31:12.239 --> 04:31:22.319
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,

1655
04:31:24.639 --> 04:31:39.479
quiet down for now, so as you focus on those

1656
04:31:40.239 --> 04:31:45.159
remaining thoughts. As we count down this time from seven

1657
04:31:46.040 --> 04:31:54.719
down to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those

1658
04:31:54.959 --> 04:32:14.399
flower petals love, love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which

1659
04:32:14.440 --> 04:32:20.440
will allow them to just melt away and relax deeply.

1660
04:32:24.600 --> 04:32:39.040
With every number, those thoughts will become more and more relaxed,

1661
04:32:44.639 --> 04:35:16.159
starting with number seven, six, five, four, three one. As

1662
04:35:16.200 --> 04:35:33.400
you now notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body,

1663
04:35:41.799 --> 04:35:55.000
We're going to focus on your hands, because the more

1664
04:35:55.080 --> 04:36:01.159
relaxed your hands are, the more relax ext your body

1665
04:36:02.119 --> 04:36:23.119
and mind are. There's you focus on your hands and

1666
04:36:23.279 --> 04:36:33.319
your fingers. There's nothing needed to be done. There's no

1667
04:36:33.599 --> 04:36:38.560
clenching of fists or dents in the fingers or anything

1668
04:36:38.720 --> 04:36:52.599
like that. It's just noticing and focusing on your hands.

1669
04:36:59.599 --> 04:37:20.720
Notice and now they feel, because the more relaxed your

1670
04:37:20.919 --> 04:37:30.840
hands feel, the calmer your mind feels, and the more

1671
04:37:33.720 --> 04:37:54.639
comforts you feel throughout your body. You may have already

1672
04:37:57.439 --> 04:38:37.200
noticed your mind is starting to drift wix him just

1673
04:38:37.400 --> 04:38:54.560
on your hands and fingers, allowing them cheat experience a

1674
04:38:54.799 --> 04:39:02.720
real deepening of that relaxation in your hands and fingers,

1675
04:39:08.759 --> 04:39:31.119
more and more relaxed. With each number from eight down

1676
04:39:31.240 --> 04:39:44.040
to one. You can almost feel that healing and relaxing

1677
04:39:44.520 --> 04:40:03.599
energy spreading into your hands and fingers becoming oh, relaxing,

1678
04:40:06.720 --> 04:40:25.799
with each number you hear, going down eight down to one, drifting,

1679
04:40:29.479 --> 04:40:36.520
drifting again starting with.

1680
04:40:41.080 --> 04:43:16.319
Number eight, seven, four, three.

1681
04:44:17.799 --> 04:44:45.080
Wow, just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing

1682
04:44:45.159 --> 04:44:56.000
to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calm.

1683
04:45:00.759 --> 04:45:08.240
And this is your natural state of being. This is

1684
04:45:08.479 --> 04:45:15.159
how you just normally feel when you take away all

1685
04:45:15.200 --> 04:45:22.119
of that other stuff that we add, you know, things

1686
04:45:22.279 --> 04:45:38.360
like stress and worrying and overthinking, anxiety, tension, just generally

1687
04:45:38.599 --> 04:45:44.720
thinking about stuff. We take that away, which is what

1688
04:45:44.880 --> 04:45:45.119
we do.

1689
04:45:45.880 --> 04:45:53.520
What we're doing now, you're.

1690
04:45:53.479 --> 04:46:04.639
Left with a real sense of peaceful which comes to

1691
04:46:04.759 --> 04:46:18.360
you very quickly because ultimately it's just a feeling, a

1692
04:46:18.599 --> 04:46:26.680
feeling of comfort. It's almost as if you've gone inside

1693
04:46:26.759 --> 04:46:38.919
yourself and You've found a special place where everything is peaceful,

1694
04:46:41.880 --> 04:46:47.200
a place where you can film relaxed and you're natural

1695
04:46:49.400 --> 04:46:55.840
sense and comfort, a place where you could be here

1696
04:47:00.439 --> 04:47:07.319
where you can accept yourself and who you are, in

1697
04:47:07.400 --> 04:47:13.360
the place where you're not trying to please anybody else,

1698
04:47:13.919 --> 04:47:26.639
in the place where you can actually not just love yourself,

1699
04:47:26.759 --> 04:47:36.319
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself, appreciate.

1700
04:47:37.119 --> 04:47:38.159
Who you are.

1701
04:47:47.000 --> 04:47:53.599
That sense of gratitude he's in the air way around you.

1702
04:48:01.240 --> 04:48:09.080
That's also a place where you can actually feel the

1703
04:48:09.439 --> 04:48:24.720
healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into

1704
04:48:24.840 --> 04:48:39.040
your body, That healing energy spreads through your veins, traveling

1705
04:48:39.240 --> 04:48:51.599
to each every single part of your body, and you

1706
04:48:51.759 --> 04:48:58.720
start to realize that actually that healing energy it's not

1707
04:48:59.040 --> 04:49:05.400
just enter the to your brain, it's become part of

1708
04:49:05.919 --> 04:49:16.639
your brain and the spinal fluid who is now mixed

1709
04:49:16.759 --> 04:49:27.880
with healing energy. Not just allowing you to feel so

1710
04:49:28.119 --> 04:49:40.000
much more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but also

1711
04:49:42.959 --> 04:49:51.479
you start to realize that actually what's happening now without healing,

1712
04:49:52.520 --> 04:50:02.159
relaxing energy spreading through your body actually changing your life.

1713
04:50:07.319 --> 04:50:12.439
It's actually changing the way you're going to feel not

1714
04:50:12.720 --> 04:50:20.080
just now, but tomorrow and the next day. As your

1715
04:50:20.240 --> 04:50:28.279
health improves, not just your physical health but your mental health,

1716
04:50:32.240 --> 04:50:37.400
things that used to bother you in the past, for

1717
04:50:37.599 --> 04:50:43.639
some reason, no longer have the effect that they used

1718
04:50:43.639 --> 04:50:57.919
to because something has changed deep within you. Maybe things

1719
04:50:58.240 --> 04:51:07.880
that used to cause you to feel anger no longer

1720
04:51:08.279 --> 04:51:17.959
have that power to control you the way they seem

1721
04:51:18.080 --> 04:51:26.919
to be able to before. As you realize that you're

1722
04:51:27.080 --> 04:51:39.720
the one who decides what affects you, you're the one

1723
04:51:40.360 --> 04:51:50.799
who decides to feel relaxed and calm when you choose

1724
04:51:54.360 --> 04:52:08.880
to enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing continuing to

1725
04:52:09.080 --> 04:52:23.439
grow and improve your life day by day, including of course,

1726
04:52:23.520 --> 04:52:41.080
your ability to relax so much easier than sleeping. It's

1727
04:52:41.119 --> 04:52:51.439
the most natural thing in the world to you, because

1728
04:52:51.720 --> 04:52:58.840
falling asleep is something that you've done so many times

1729
04:53:00.599 --> 04:53:06.240
in your life, and you know that you were born,

1730
04:53:07.759 --> 04:53:14.360
as we all were, with the ability to fall asleep naturally.

1731
04:53:18.599 --> 04:53:29.279
We were born with that ability to just drift off

1732
04:53:30.040 --> 04:53:43.159
into a deep, healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes

1733
04:53:43.240 --> 04:53:47.680
will fall asleep when we don't even want to try

1734
04:53:47.799 --> 04:53:52.000
to think of stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in

1735
04:53:52.080 --> 04:53:56.240
the morning, or it's Christmas or holiday or something we

1736
04:53:56.400 --> 04:53:58.840
look forward to. We don't want to go to sleep,

1737
04:54:01.080 --> 04:54:06.040
but the more we want to stay awake, the more

1738
04:54:06.279 --> 04:54:13.799
we just start to drift. And the more you fight

1739
04:54:14.159 --> 04:54:18.159
drifting we try to stop yourself and drift in asleep,

1740
04:54:20.279 --> 04:54:31.360
the deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born

1741
04:54:32.319 --> 04:54:38.159
not just with the need to relax deeply and to

1742
04:54:38.360 --> 04:54:48.200
naturally fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of

1743
04:54:48.279 --> 04:54:58.919
our DNA, and sometimes as we get older in life,

1744
04:55:00.279 --> 04:55:14.000
perhaps at times we have forgotten relaxing completely. It's not

1745
04:55:14.200 --> 04:55:39.200
only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very,

1746
04:55:40.040 --> 04:55:46.240
very easy to let go, because that's all it is,

1747
04:55:46.520 --> 04:56:01.479
is just deciding to let go. When you press the

1748
04:56:01.599 --> 04:56:12.000
play button on my recordings, you have given permission for

1749
04:56:12.159 --> 04:56:20.560
my voice to relax. When you press that play button,

1750
04:56:21.560 --> 04:56:30.000
you have given me permission for my words to effect

1751
04:56:32.520 --> 04:56:44.319
you in a positive, only a positive way. Opening up

1752
04:56:49.560 --> 04:57:07.799
your mind too useful, and he suggestions that can have

1753
04:57:12.319 --> 04:57:19.759
such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,

1754
04:57:24.520 --> 04:57:34.360
as well as those changes that continue long after the

1755
04:57:34.479 --> 04:57:45.119
recording ends, those changes within you that continue to flourish

1756
04:57:46.000 --> 04:58:04.279
and grow, transforming your life in positive, beautiful way, allowing

1757
04:58:04.759 --> 04:58:11.319
you to move forward in your life in the direction

1758
04:58:11.599 --> 04:58:28.840
that you choose for yourself. And this feeling, this feeling

1759
04:58:29.119 --> 04:58:44.639
that you can experience a safety, comfort, calmness. This feels

1760
04:58:44.759 --> 04:59:05.840
so nice. It's such a healthy place to be, and

1761
04:59:06.000 --> 04:59:23.799
that positivity prows within you. Eat and every day moving forward,

1762
04:59:27.599 --> 04:59:38.599
you're going to find that you're more relaxed physically and

1763
04:59:38.799 --> 04:59:47.439
in your mind is more relaxed. And it's not that

1764
04:59:47.560 --> 04:59:53.119
you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind will be

1765
04:59:53.360 --> 05:00:05.159
less clogged up with unnecessary negative because from now on,

1766
05:00:05.840 --> 05:00:15.479
your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're going to

1767
05:00:15.639 --> 05:00:32.479
start noticing when negativity arises and you can just say stop, stop,

1768
05:00:35.360 --> 05:00:42.119
and that negativity will turn around and leave you alone.

1769
05:00:50.119 --> 05:01:09.439
Stop and that negativity will disappear. And as you notice

1770
05:01:09.759 --> 05:01:18.080
that you feel way more relaxed than you probably expected,

1771
05:01:24.240 --> 05:01:33.799
you can now congratulate yourself because you're the person that

1772
05:01:33.919 --> 05:01:40.040
has done this. You are the one that has opened

1773
05:01:40.240 --> 05:01:47.959
your mind up to the simple facts that you can

1774
05:01:48.439 --> 05:01:53.000
feel more relaxed in your body and in your mind.

1775
05:01:59.240 --> 05:02:05.119
You've opened your mind up to the birthright of being

1776
05:02:05.200 --> 05:02:22.040
able to just fall asleep easily when you choose, And

1777
05:02:22.159 --> 05:02:29.119
that's a nice feeling. Don't you think it feels nice?

1778
05:02:29.240 --> 05:02:38.599
Doesn't it? To feel calm? All that healing energy is

1779
05:02:38.720 --> 05:02:49.560
spreading through your body, in your mind. To spend time

1780
05:02:49.840 --> 05:03:00.639
in a special place where negativity can no longer enter.

1781
05:03:07.080 --> 05:03:16.279
Negativity is banned, it's barred, it's not allowed entry. Doesn't

1782
05:03:16.560 --> 05:03:21.000
it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't belong here.

1783
05:03:24.759 --> 05:03:39.639
Negativity has no place in your life, which makes room

1784
05:03:39.840 --> 05:04:10.720
for more comfort, more healing, more relaxation, more peace. It

1785
05:04:10.880 --> 05:04:36.360
feels nice, doesn't it? Just let go with everything. I'm

1786
05:04:36.400 --> 05:04:44.040
gonna count down now from twenty down to one. You

1787
05:04:44.159 --> 05:04:55.360
can continue to relax. If futures you can drift to

1788
05:04:55.560 --> 05:05:09.319
sleep with it number hear me say you can fill

1789
05:05:10.479 --> 05:05:16.720
twice as relaxed, or if you choose, you can fill

1790
05:05:17.599 --> 05:06:34.119
twice sleeping now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen,

1791
05:06:40.680 --> 05:08:20.959
two eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six five. This is

1792
05:08:21.119 --> 05:08:34.680
your time to just take a break, your time to relax,

1793
05:08:38.880 --> 05:08:51.240
to allow your mind to slow down, to give yourself

1794
05:08:51.400 --> 05:09:09.319
permission to take a break mm hm from everything. Ensure

1795
05:09:09.439 --> 05:09:16.439
the only person that can make that decision. You're the

1796
05:09:16.520 --> 05:09:24.959
only person that can actually tell your mind just relax,

1797
05:09:33.119 --> 05:09:48.720
to just take some time off so that you can

1798
05:09:49.479 --> 05:09:54.919
focus on your body, getting in touch with how you

1799
05:09:55.080 --> 05:10:11.959
feel physically. And in the process of this body scan,

1800
05:10:12.360 --> 05:10:22.799
where you focus on different parts of your body, those

1801
05:10:23.119 --> 05:10:30.279
parts that you focus on and observe, even though you're

1802
05:10:30.400 --> 05:10:39.240
not purposely requesting for those parts of your body to relax,

1803
05:10:41.439 --> 05:10:47.799
it's kind of expected. You expect when you listen to

1804
05:10:47.959 --> 05:11:01.119
my voice to feel more relaxed. Naturally, when you're listening

1805
05:11:01.200 --> 05:11:15.919
to me, your attention is focused on my words, and

1806
05:11:16.080 --> 05:11:27.400
as my words guide you to focus on those parts

1807
05:11:27.560 --> 05:11:42.080
of your body, your focus increases, which actually.

1808
05:11:44.599 --> 05:11:56.560
Calms your mind. And when your mind calms.

1809
05:11:56.959 --> 05:12:18.479
Down, your body relaxes. And when your body calms down,

1810
05:12:24.000 --> 05:12:39.720
your mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started

1811
05:12:41.119 --> 05:12:53.159
to focus on your body, you can already feel that

1812
05:12:53.560 --> 05:13:08.720
healing energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,

1813
05:13:12.880 --> 05:13:20.159
healing all the parts of your body, including your skin,

1814
05:13:21.319 --> 05:13:28.240
your bones, your blood, all of your organs inside your body,

1815
05:13:29.639 --> 05:13:36.400
all of the muscles, all of the fat, all of everything,

1816
05:13:38.240 --> 05:13:44.439
every hair on your body is filled with that healing energy.

1817
05:13:52.439 --> 05:14:08.200
And when your brain fills with that healing in the

1818
05:14:08.439 --> 05:14:33.159
feeling of comfort, relaxation increases deeply, increases in a way

1819
05:14:33.400 --> 05:14:53.439
that your mind starts to feel perhaps bit drowsing because

1820
05:14:53.520 --> 05:15:12.639
it's not needed, and it may start to drift if

1821
05:15:12.720 --> 05:15:21.240
that's what's needed. So if you're listening to this and

1822
05:15:21.360 --> 05:15:25.439
what you need is deep relaxation, that's what you get.

1823
05:15:27.639 --> 05:15:35.200
If what you need is to fall asleep naturally and easily,

1824
05:15:36.159 --> 05:15:49.439
that your mind drifts, that's also what will happened. Because

1825
05:15:49.639 --> 05:15:57.479
by pressing that play button on the podcast and listening

1826
05:15:57.599 --> 05:16:04.040
to me, give mission of your body and your mind.

1827
05:16:07.080 --> 05:16:16.119
In fact, you give the command to your body and

1828
05:16:16.240 --> 05:16:27.959
your mind to relax deeply and to drift off the sleep,

1829
05:16:29.319 --> 05:16:32.279
if that's what you want.

1830
05:16:35.479 --> 05:16:36.040
Or need.

1831
05:16:43.599 --> 05:16:49.240
Them. As I focus on the different parts of your body,

1832
05:16:54.200 --> 05:17:03.000
you may start to just drift. And then you come

1833
05:17:03.119 --> 05:17:08.400
back again and you hear me talkin and I'm focusing

1834
05:17:08.560 --> 05:17:19.360
on a different part of your body, you may find

1835
05:17:19.520 --> 05:17:28.080
yourself drifting. Be able to realize you're drifting until you

1836
05:17:28.319 --> 05:17:36.639
stop drifting. Drew a let again to my voice, focusing

1837
05:17:37.799 --> 05:17:42.599
on a different part of your body starts to relax

1838
05:17:42.759 --> 05:17:55.279
in deeper because I'm drifting it's basically here already in

1839
05:17:55.400 --> 05:18:05.720
the sleep zone. And the more you drift, the longer

1840
05:18:05.840 --> 05:18:16.560
you drift, the longer you drift. Eventually that drifting continues

1841
05:18:17.880 --> 05:18:27.799
into sleep, and that's the last you remember until you

1842
05:18:27.959 --> 05:18:37.080
wake up in your own time, when you experienced the

1843
05:18:37.319 --> 05:18:44.680
right amount of sleep for you, because when you do

1844
05:18:46.560 --> 05:18:49.159
and if you do fall asleep.

1845
05:18:48.840 --> 05:18:49.240
It's.

1846
05:18:51.599 --> 05:19:03.720
Extremely pleasant. So relaxing, so deep healing.

1847
05:19:05.720 --> 05:19:06.080
Sleep.

1848
05:19:16.240 --> 05:19:24.040
I feel so nice to relax since your own body

1849
05:19:24.279 --> 05:19:33.759
and mind. If you feel that heating image is spreading

1850
05:19:34.200 --> 05:19:47.080
through it, relaxing, use so deeply, Reaes.

1851
05:19:48.639 --> 05:19:49.639
So deeply.

1852
05:19:59.279 --> 05:20:24.080
Start focus on your eyes, moving down till jaw down,

1853
05:20:24.720 --> 05:21:20.560
till back, your shoulders, arm, fingus, your chest, stun you

1854
05:21:20.919 --> 05:22:27.799
and spine, your hips, your legs. You faint your spreading

1855
05:22:29.479 --> 05:22:43.479
grime inside your body. Feeling you up. Now, let's focus

1856
05:22:43.599 --> 05:22:53.520
again on parts of your body, focusing this time on

1857
05:22:53.639 --> 05:23:06.479
your forehead. Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1858
05:23:09.720 --> 05:23:31.520
the whole of your mouth. Focusing on your fingers. Maybe

1859
05:23:31.840 --> 05:23:36.080
you could move your fingers a little bits. You can

1860
05:23:37.159 --> 05:23:51.799
focus on each one individually, both hands, and even though

1861
05:23:52.040 --> 05:23:57.040
if you focus on both of your hands now they

1862
05:23:57.159 --> 05:24:05.479
almost seemed to just melt into one. Where did your

1863
05:24:05.599 --> 05:24:13.479
right hands? Starting left hand and a mass as if

1864
05:24:16.240 --> 05:24:31.639
just mixed together. Now focusing on your knees, just noticing

1865
05:24:32.959 --> 05:24:56.919
how your knees hell. Now focusing on your elbows, focusing

1866
05:24:57.240 --> 05:25:11.799
on both your elbows, just absurd, the feeling of your

1867
05:25:11.919 --> 05:25:43.360
antess now focusing I'm sorry, the back of your neck,

1868
05:25:53.319 --> 05:26:48.360
feeling my energy back your neck opsie echos. It's a

1869
05:26:48.439 --> 05:28:03.560
good of sensation of s anchos, not s. But if

1870
05:28:03.639 --> 05:28:24.799
of your fate be with hell. Your toes feel right now,

1871
05:28:55.880 --> 05:29:30.159
ninety cents how you insire body feels noticing your mind

1872
05:29:33.599 --> 05:30:30.919
feels now letting go, letting go, letting go everything, letting go,

1873
05:30:37.520 --> 05:31:12.360
letting go, leting go of everything. I'm going to start now,

1874
05:31:14.000 --> 05:31:15.959
and I'd like you just, first of all, just to

1875
05:31:16.240 --> 05:31:24.159
see yourself lying down on their message table, lying on

1876
05:31:24.240 --> 05:31:29.200
your front. Your head is supported, your arms are supported,

1877
05:31:33.680 --> 05:31:39.959
and you feel comfortable and breathing is really easy, and

1878
05:31:40.119 --> 05:31:46.919
you feel you feel confident in how you look as well.

1879
05:31:47.080 --> 05:31:51.720
So there's none of that issue of body problems or shyness,

1880
05:31:52.639 --> 05:32:00.759
because I'm a professional and this is IF therapy session,

1881
05:32:01.560 --> 05:32:08.959
so none of that stuff matters on whatsoever. This is

1882
05:32:09.040 --> 05:32:16.319
about you. This is about how you feel and how

1883
05:32:17.119 --> 05:32:24.319
you can enjoy that sense of comfort and relaxation that

1884
05:32:24.520 --> 05:32:31.080
comes from letting go and allowing my hands and my

1885
05:32:31.279 --> 05:32:43.599
fingers to relax you by messaging your body. So I

1886
05:32:43.680 --> 05:32:48.639
want to start off just by placing my hands on

1887
05:32:48.799 --> 05:32:53.319
the back of your head, just gently, just you can

1888
05:32:53.479 --> 05:33:02.159
feel what my hands feel like really on you, so

1889
05:33:02.360 --> 05:33:04.599
you can maybe feel the warmth of my hands on

1890
05:33:04.680 --> 05:33:09.919
the back of your head. Then I'll wave my hands

1891
05:33:09.959 --> 05:33:13.200
to the side of your head, not pressing, but just

1892
05:33:13.639 --> 05:33:19.919
holding there very gently, maybe over your ears, and a

1893
05:33:20.000 --> 05:33:24.439
little bit on your face, so you can feel my

1894
05:33:24.680 --> 05:33:39.639
hands so you can become accustomed to them. And now

1895
05:33:39.959 --> 05:33:42.119
put my hands on the back of your head again

1896
05:33:42.599 --> 05:33:49.360
and gently let them slide down onto the back of

1897
05:33:49.439 --> 05:34:06.959
your neck. You can feel my hands gently stroking the

1898
05:34:07.040 --> 05:34:13.560
back of your neck to start with, just so you

1899
05:34:13.639 --> 05:34:18.000
can get used to the feeling of my hands on

1900
05:34:18.159 --> 05:34:27.080
your skin, get accustomed to realize that you're safe and

1901
05:34:27.119 --> 05:34:35.880
it's all good, it's all fine. And I'm going to

1902
05:34:35.959 --> 05:34:40.200
start gently messaging the muscles in the back of your

1903
05:34:40.279 --> 05:34:59.880
neck with both hands. Now, this is a very trusting situation, really,

1904
05:35:00.520 --> 05:35:04.959
because our necks are so fragile and to have someone

1905
05:35:05.159 --> 05:35:09.919
have their hands around your neck in that way can

1906
05:35:10.000 --> 05:35:15.080
sometimes be problematic for people, which is why massages are

1907
05:35:15.319 --> 05:35:20.520
quite good, because it allows you to relax and to

1908
05:35:25.200 --> 05:35:34.520
get in touch with trust, to feel peaceful and calm.

1909
05:35:42.799 --> 05:35:50.240
There's a massage the sides of your neck, gently moving

1910
05:35:50.479 --> 05:35:55.560
from the bottom of your neck. It would be sort

1911
05:35:55.560 --> 05:35:58.720
of near where your shoulders start, I guess, all the

1912
05:35:58.759 --> 05:36:05.400
way up to your jaw, your ears, kind of area

1913
05:36:06.159 --> 05:36:11.000
the side of your neck. Of course, it's a lot

1914
05:36:11.119 --> 05:36:26.959
longer than the front of your neck, and message in

1915
05:36:27.119 --> 05:36:35.479
the back of your neck, especially that area where perhaps

1916
05:36:35.599 --> 05:36:43.439
we hold tension, and as that area's message, you can

1917
05:36:43.520 --> 05:36:47.639
actually feel a sense of release in the back of

1918
05:36:47.720 --> 05:36:55.959
your neck, and maybe you can breathe it out as well.

1919
05:36:58.599 --> 05:37:11.720
Notice how it feels. Notice how you feel. They're moving

1920
05:37:11.919 --> 05:37:15.520
down to that area between your neck and your shoulders,

1921
05:37:17.080 --> 05:37:25.959
that muscle area, starting to message that area on both sides.

1922
05:37:28.159 --> 05:37:30.400
I mean, this would be the area that a lot

1923
05:37:30.400 --> 05:37:32.560
of people would message if they were going to give

1924
05:37:32.639 --> 05:37:39.040
you like a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders,

1925
05:37:39.599 --> 05:37:42.080
but it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders

1926
05:37:43.919 --> 05:37:48.759
from the neck and a game that can hold tension

1927
05:37:49.840 --> 05:37:56.000
and stress and when massaged sometimes a nice deep message

1928
05:37:56.159 --> 05:38:03.560
is useful. Do you decide how deep that message is,

1929
05:38:14.919 --> 05:38:21.919
and just allow my knuckles just to dig in to

1930
05:38:22.080 --> 05:38:31.400
get to those muscles and to really relaxed and all

1931
05:38:31.479 --> 05:38:48.639
the time and being firm yet gentle with you and

1932
05:38:48.880 --> 05:38:57.680
just stroking down the area to your actual shoulders, moving

1933
05:38:58.040 --> 05:39:07.200
to the muscles of your shoulders and maybe initially just

1934
05:39:08.759 --> 05:39:11.639
pulling up the shoulders a little bit off the table,

1935
05:39:13.040 --> 05:39:14.959
just to give you a little bit of a stretch,

1936
05:39:16.720 --> 05:39:25.400
but very gently. And you've got the muscles at the

1937
05:39:25.479 --> 05:39:37.439
front of your shoulders, the sides and the back. Again,

1938
05:39:37.680 --> 05:39:41.520
this is a part that can really take quite a

1939
05:39:41.599 --> 05:39:49.840
bit of pressure, quite a bit of needing if if

1940
05:39:49.880 --> 05:39:57.840
you wish to really release the tension to really get

1941
05:39:57.959 --> 05:40:04.159
into those muscles, and you can let your fingers in

1942
05:40:04.360 --> 05:40:10.439
there make you feel really nice. Sometimes it's just being

1943
05:40:10.720 --> 05:40:21.080
stroked gently or being messaged quite strongly can all be

1944
05:40:21.159 --> 05:40:31.439
beneficial to the real conversation with the muscles in your shoulders.

1945
05:40:41.360 --> 05:40:51.159
Now to move down your arms, were doing one arm

1946
05:40:51.240 --> 05:41:01.200
at a time, starting with your right arm. What I'll

1947
05:41:01.279 --> 05:41:05.840
do is I'll just lift your arm up, just hold

1948
05:41:05.919 --> 05:41:10.880
it to the side of you that where it still

1949
05:41:10.919 --> 05:41:17.720
be attached, and not just message the tops of your arms,

1950
05:41:28.119 --> 05:41:34.159
all the way down to your forearms, into your wrists,

1951
05:41:45.520 --> 05:41:57.759
gently messaging that part, the softer part, which is the

1952
05:41:58.680 --> 05:42:04.479
under part of the arm, which leads to the crease

1953
05:42:04.599 --> 05:42:10.479
in your elbow, the inside. It's much more sensitive skin.

1954
05:42:20.159 --> 05:42:30.319
Sometimes just having that stroked, I feel really nice, pleasurable

1955
05:42:30.560 --> 05:42:49.680
and relaxing. Now moving down to your right hand, just

1956
05:42:49.919 --> 05:43:02.279
holding your hand in both of my hands, just pressing

1957
05:43:02.439 --> 05:43:09.119
gently on the back of your hand, stretching your fingers

1958
05:43:11.200 --> 05:43:20.360
ever slightly at the same time pressing down and massaging

1959
05:43:21.080 --> 05:43:33.759
each finger, and then starting to massage the palms of

1960
05:43:33.880 --> 05:43:51.720
their hand. Just turning the hand, stretching it gently, and

1961
05:43:51.840 --> 05:43:57.880
actually having your hand held can really be an emotional

1962
05:43:58.000 --> 05:44:05.159
experience sometimes, even if it is a stranger, someone you

1963
05:44:05.279 --> 05:44:10.799
don't know very well, like a massage person or a therapist.

1964
05:44:10.959 --> 05:44:26.119
Maybe because it's intimate, you can feel nice, you can

1965
05:44:26.200 --> 05:44:37.000
feel safe. And as I put that right arm back

1966
05:44:37.119 --> 05:44:45.240
down where it was, I did the same with your

1967
05:44:45.319 --> 05:44:58.400
left arm, exactly the same message in the muscles in

1968
05:44:58.520 --> 05:45:06.759
your arm all the way down to your wrist, stroking

1969
05:45:06.840 --> 05:45:16.319
the inside of your arm, just being gentle or as

1970
05:45:16.560 --> 05:45:30.080
firm as you require, and then messaging your left hand,

1971
05:45:36.639 --> 05:45:46.680
stretching the fingers, gently massaging the palm of your left hand.

1972
05:45:58.840 --> 05:46:26.639
Your feels so m so relaxing, so comforting, and I

1973
05:46:26.880 --> 05:46:38.959
just rest your left arm back down. Start to message

1974
05:46:39.479 --> 05:46:49.279
your back, the biggest part of your body, starting at

1975
05:46:49.319 --> 05:46:56.240
the top, starting again where you already have been, the

1976
05:46:56.439 --> 05:47:01.400
area at the top in between your shoulders, near your neck.

1977
05:47:03.159 --> 05:47:08.159
Going back, massage in the area again, but this time

1978
05:47:08.560 --> 05:47:21.560
moving downwards, making it downward. Stroke to the middle of

1979
05:47:21.680 --> 05:47:29.880
your back, working from the outside inwards, So massage in

1980
05:47:30.000 --> 05:47:41.319
that your back, but the outsides of your back, the

1981
05:47:41.479 --> 05:47:57.040
parts where your arms would maybe rest against, almost the

1982
05:47:57.200 --> 05:48:09.520
path that connects your front to your back, and just

1983
05:48:09.759 --> 05:48:18.200
messaging down firmly but gently, as firm as you want,

1984
05:48:21.680 --> 05:48:26.240
moving down and moving across a little bed, moving all

1985
05:48:26.279 --> 05:48:32.159
the way down again, being very gentle you have firm

1986
05:48:32.360 --> 05:48:44.000
as you choose. Eventually we get to the spine. We

1987
05:48:44.119 --> 05:48:48.159
can massage the muscles and either side of your spine,

1988
05:48:49.040 --> 05:48:52.040
from the top of your neck all the way down

1989
05:48:54.880 --> 05:49:03.840
to your lower back. We can do that a few times.

1990
05:49:06.880 --> 05:49:14.240
Sometimes people use the knuckle or the you know, two

1991
05:49:14.400 --> 05:49:20.200
fingers and just go your side of the spine almost

1992
05:49:20.639 --> 05:49:23.680
just push down, go all the way down to the

1993
05:49:23.720 --> 05:49:32.319
bottom of the spine, each time releasing tension and opening

1994
05:49:32.479 --> 05:49:41.479
up the body, stretching your body so that you feel

1995
05:49:42.200 --> 05:49:59.720
more relaxed but at the same time rejuvenated. And now

1996
05:50:00.000 --> 05:50:08.520
and move to one side, to your right side, and

1997
05:50:08.639 --> 05:50:14.240
from the bottom of your ribs to your pelvis. I'm

1998
05:50:14.279 --> 05:50:21.119
gonna message that area of your back. I'll stretch over

1999
05:50:21.240 --> 05:50:25.119
the other side and i will pull the muscles gently

2000
05:50:26.080 --> 05:50:31.080
and massage and push from one end that side all

2001
05:50:31.080 --> 05:50:35.000
the way to my side. It's in the middle of

2002
05:50:35.119 --> 05:50:40.759
fact to where your spine is, massaging that side of

2003
05:50:40.840 --> 05:50:47.639
your spine the opposite side to where I'm standing. It's

2004
05:50:47.680 --> 05:50:55.520
almost like kneading bread. There's that big area which is firm,

2005
05:50:56.279 --> 05:51:05.720
yet lot's there to message. Potentially one of the most

2006
05:51:05.840 --> 05:51:12.919
important places to actually have a message, because you really

2007
05:51:13.200 --> 05:51:18.639
feel it. You really feel the release and the pleasure

2008
05:51:19.959 --> 05:51:27.200
of having your lower back massaged. It releases so much

2009
05:51:27.720 --> 05:51:36.119
from your body that's not useful, starting a healing process

2010
05:51:37.759 --> 05:51:50.520
which will continue long after this recording is over. The

2011
05:51:50.720 --> 05:51:53.799
message in this part of your body not only feels

2012
05:51:53.959 --> 05:52:00.360
really good, for you. It's actually fun to do is

2013
05:52:00.880 --> 05:52:05.880
as I said, like kneading bread. It's a part that

2014
05:52:05.959 --> 05:52:11.200
you can really get hold of and really massage deeply.

2015
05:52:13.479 --> 05:52:23.680
If that's your choice. They're not going to move over

2016
05:52:23.759 --> 05:52:26.080
to the other side of your body and do the

2017
05:52:26.240 --> 05:52:38.000
same with the opposite part of your lawer back. Kneading

2018
05:52:38.240 --> 05:52:46.720
and messaging from your sides all way to the middle

2019
05:52:46.759 --> 05:52:55.159
of your back where your spine is pressing and kneading

2020
05:53:00.360 --> 05:53:05.759
firm and gentle at the same time. It feels so

2021
05:53:06.520 --> 05:53:19.680
releasing this mixture of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation or

2022
05:53:19.840 --> 05:53:30.200
mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your stomach as

2023
05:53:30.240 --> 05:53:35.040
it's being stretched. Even though you're in your stomach now,

2024
05:53:35.680 --> 05:53:39.439
you can feel it being stretched because that whole area

2025
05:53:39.599 --> 05:53:50.639
is connected to your stomach. Now we're going to move

2026
05:53:50.959 --> 05:53:55.720
or move further up to your top of your body

2027
05:53:56.360 --> 05:54:04.240
and we do the same this time, starting with your

2028
05:54:04.319 --> 05:54:10.319
upper back. Put my hands forward over and massive massage

2029
05:54:10.400 --> 05:54:17.279
in that area up to your spine, from the side

2030
05:54:17.319 --> 05:54:21.319
of your body up to your spine. So some of

2031
05:54:21.400 --> 05:54:28.439
that message area, that muscle tissue or whatever fatty tissue

2032
05:54:28.479 --> 05:54:34.080
even will be possibly from your chest because it's all connected.

2033
05:54:34.200 --> 05:54:40.639
The chest and the back connect together. I'm going to

2034
05:54:40.680 --> 05:54:45.639
be massaging and just pulling some of that skin from

2035
05:54:45.720 --> 05:54:55.119
your side up and massaging that area of your upper

2036
05:54:55.240 --> 05:55:03.520
back all the way to your spine. And then I'll

2037
05:55:03.599 --> 05:55:06.520
move down a bit and I'll continue with the middle

2038
05:55:06.560 --> 05:55:13.680
of your back, doing exactly the same thing as gentle,

2039
05:55:14.040 --> 05:55:27.159
as deep as you choose. Now, I'll move or the

2040
05:55:27.240 --> 05:55:32.080
other side again and do the exact same thing with

2041
05:55:32.319 --> 05:55:36.400
the top of your back on the other side, from

2042
05:55:41.560 --> 05:55:50.279
pretty much underneath your arm area really to your spine,

2043
05:55:55.400 --> 05:56:02.000
and then continue in that all the way down, including

2044
05:56:02.119 --> 05:56:19.119
your lower your middle of your back. I'm gonna go

2045
05:56:19.560 --> 05:56:25.799
to your thighs, the backs of your thighs, and the

2046
05:56:26.000 --> 05:56:35.919
sides of your thighs, starting with your right leg. Massage

2047
05:56:36.040 --> 05:56:45.599
in the back and the sides of your thighs gently

2048
05:56:45.880 --> 05:56:51.759
and firmly. There's a lot of muscles there. It's an

2049
05:56:51.799 --> 05:56:55.360
area that can be very tense at times and maybe

2050
05:56:56.080 --> 05:56:58.520
needs a little bit more pressure than the rest of

2051
05:56:58.599 --> 05:57:07.200
the body that's up to you. You can gently stroke

2052
05:57:07.319 --> 05:57:14.240
the back of your legs where you know, opposite your

2053
05:57:14.319 --> 05:57:18.959
knee joint or underneath your knee joint. It's a very

2054
05:57:19.119 --> 05:57:32.599
sensitive gentle area and working down to your calf muscles.

2055
05:57:35.479 --> 05:57:41.880
Massage in your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose,

2056
05:57:45.360 --> 05:58:04.560
using both hands fingers digging deep to your ankles and

2057
05:58:04.680 --> 05:58:10.880
the back of your back of your ankles, just gently

2058
05:58:11.119 --> 05:58:23.439
message in that area, maybe lifting the leg and stretching

2059
05:58:23.560 --> 05:58:48.840
a little bit. Moving to the right foot, massaging the

2060
05:58:48.919 --> 05:58:55.919
bottom of your feet and the size of your feet

2061
05:59:03.080 --> 05:59:12.520
gently but firm enough so they don't tickle, and just

2062
05:59:12.680 --> 05:59:18.240
allow the pleasure that you get from heaving your feet

2063
05:59:18.360 --> 05:59:28.000
message to just overtake you as I continue to message

2064
05:59:28.040 --> 05:59:37.520
your feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides, your arches,

2065
05:59:38.240 --> 05:59:43.000
your heel. You can put a lot of pressure into

2066
05:59:43.080 --> 05:59:49.119
your heel and it feels amazing, yet the arches need

2067
05:59:49.240 --> 05:59:57.639
to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your toes gently

2068
06:00:00.360 --> 06:00:04.680
a message in the bottoms of your toes with my fingers,

2069
06:00:07.119 --> 06:00:20.919
each one individually. Moving over to the left leg to

2070
06:00:21.040 --> 06:00:29.279
do exactly the same thing. Starting at the top of

2071
06:00:29.360 --> 06:00:34.000
the thighs, work in the back of the thighs and

2072
06:00:34.119 --> 06:00:46.520
the sides, massaging deeply and gently a whole area, working

2073
06:00:46.599 --> 06:00:55.639
all the way down. And this is an area that

2074
06:00:56.799 --> 06:01:04.599
maybe you could like to spend more time relaxing and messaging.

2075
06:01:07.639 --> 06:01:12.919
Perhaps if you wanted, I could make a future recording

2076
06:01:13.599 --> 06:01:22.400
wants spend more time on one particular area. As you

2077
06:01:22.560 --> 06:01:35.560
moved down to your calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles,

2078
06:01:37.040 --> 06:01:50.959
firmly and gently, moving down your ancor into your feet.

2079
06:01:52.840 --> 06:01:58.560
Massage in the backs of your feet, the bottoms of

2080
06:01:58.639 --> 06:02:08.639
your feet, stretching your toes, and message in each tone individually,

2081
06:02:11.200 --> 06:02:17.080
and that feeling of pleasure and release. The experience when

2082
06:02:17.159 --> 06:02:35.560
you're having your feet and massaged feels really good. Now

2083
06:02:38.880 --> 06:02:43.119
as you turn over in your mind, laying on your back,

2084
06:02:50.520 --> 06:02:56.279
I'm just going to start again with your neck area

2085
06:03:03.240 --> 06:03:10.919
and your shoulders, just to get back in touch with

2086
06:03:11.080 --> 06:03:28.159
that area and lets you move up. I can clean

2087
06:03:28.279 --> 06:03:32.680
my hands a bit the more fresh because now I'm

2088
06:03:32.720 --> 06:03:42.439
gonna mess on your face, simply starting off with your forehead.

2089
06:03:49.200 --> 06:03:55.479
Your eyes are closed, I can just stretch your eyes

2090
06:03:55.720 --> 06:04:07.000
a little bit, pushing up on your eyebrows, just messaging

2091
06:04:07.200 --> 06:04:19.479
around your scalp, massaging down your cheeks, around your ears,

2092
06:04:22.599 --> 06:04:35.840
into your jaw chiple, the side of your neck chin.

2093
06:04:47.159 --> 06:04:54.840
They're just moving down from your neck down to your chest,

2094
06:04:58.599 --> 06:05:02.639
starting by message. Imagine the very top of your chest

2095
06:05:06.479 --> 06:05:11.720
where the collar bone is. Give a side of the collarbone,

2096
06:05:20.159 --> 06:05:23.400
and then just message in the hole of the chest,

2097
06:05:32.599 --> 06:05:44.639
moving the chest around. Because it's quite a large area,

2098
06:05:46.599 --> 06:05:54.040
you can move from one side to the next, moving

2099
06:05:54.400 --> 06:06:05.400
my hands underneath pretty much with your arms stretching up,

2100
06:06:07.560 --> 06:06:10.639
stretching some of the muscles of your back in the process,

2101
06:06:15.919 --> 06:06:24.560
moving up over your chest, and they're moving down again.

2102
06:06:37.279 --> 06:06:42.799
Then laying my hands. They're just massage gently and slide

2103
06:06:43.080 --> 06:06:49.599
down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,

2104
06:06:53.040 --> 06:07:00.759
and then gradually my hands moving apart and massaging, sliding

2105
06:07:01.319 --> 06:07:10.520
at the same time, moving down to just below your redcage,

2106
06:07:19.880 --> 06:07:28.599
moving down and then messaging up again, giving your chest

2107
06:07:30.200 --> 06:07:38.720
all your attention that it needs to feel completely relaxed,

2108
06:07:46.080 --> 06:07:49.799
remembering that I'm also going to be focusing on your

2109
06:07:50.080 --> 06:07:55.279
sides as well, an area that really doesn't get much

2110
06:07:55.360 --> 06:08:07.560
attention but feels really good when it's massaged. Just stroking

2111
06:08:07.680 --> 06:08:15.119
my hands down the sides of your body, just below

2112
06:08:15.200 --> 06:08:27.919
your arms, all the way down to your hips. Now

2113
06:08:28.560 --> 06:08:34.040
move into your stomach area. We're gonna stand on one

2114
06:08:34.200 --> 06:08:36.560
side of you like I did when I dig your

2115
06:08:36.599 --> 06:08:42.959
lower back. I'm gonna do a similar process of just

2116
06:08:43.159 --> 06:08:58.000
stretching the muscles from your side, gently massaging from one

2117
06:08:58.119 --> 06:09:06.680
side to the next, move in the whole area from

2118
06:09:06.759 --> 06:09:10.599
below your ribs all the way down to below your

2119
06:09:10.639 --> 06:09:20.479
belly button, and then move around to the other side

2120
06:09:20.520 --> 06:09:36.000
of you and repeat that process of relaxing deeply, calmly.

2121
06:09:39.159 --> 06:09:46.319
You feel loose, you feel free. And there's something about

2122
06:09:46.439 --> 06:09:51.279
having your stomach message that's different from any other part

2123
06:09:54.799 --> 06:09:59.319
because we do have a tendency of holding a different

2124
06:09:59.439 --> 06:10:03.479
kind of stress in her stomach that we may not

2125
06:10:03.599 --> 06:10:14.599
be aware of. There's a now message your stomach. In

2126
06:10:14.720 --> 06:10:21.799
front of your stomach. They can circles around your belly,

2127
06:10:21.880 --> 06:10:36.400
buttom and then go in the other way around the

2128
06:10:36.799 --> 06:10:43.680
gentleness and a freedom that comes from feeling how you're feeling.

2129
06:10:49.200 --> 06:10:53.840
There's a now move down the tops of your thighs

2130
06:10:55.799 --> 06:11:01.279
muscles message in them, and I can do this to

2131
06:11:01.360 --> 06:11:10.439
your legs at the same time, pressing down, massaging deeply

2132
06:11:11.680 --> 06:11:15.599
those muscles in your thighs, the front of your thighs,

2133
06:11:21.040 --> 06:11:26.599
and moving down to your knees, gently massaging your knees,

2134
06:11:31.840 --> 06:11:37.919
sliding down your shins, putting pressure on either side of

2135
06:11:38.000 --> 06:11:51.040
your shin gently, softly but firmly, moving down to your ankles,

2136
06:11:56.000 --> 06:12:05.639
stroking the tops of your feet, and then with each

2137
06:12:07.000 --> 06:12:12.400
foot in each hand, just gently messaging the whole of

2138
06:12:12.520 --> 06:12:21.279
the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel, your ankle,

2139
06:12:22.159 --> 06:12:34.439
your toes, messaging every part of your feet. Feels so good,

2140
06:12:35.200 --> 06:12:49.360
just to let go and enjoy the process. Enjoy feeling

2141
06:12:51.919 --> 06:13:05.200
so deeply relaxed. So much comfort and so many feelings

2142
06:13:07.000 --> 06:13:21.439
come just from touching your skin. And you can just

2143
06:13:22.639 --> 06:13:32.040
lie there for as long as you choose, enjoying the

2144
06:13:32.319 --> 06:13:40.680
feeling of deep comfort from being massaged.

2145
06:13:42.680 --> 06:13:43.000
By me.

2146
06:13:50.200 --> 06:14:16.000
Enjoy feeling deeply. And all we're gonna do is blow

2147
06:14:16.080 --> 06:14:32.360
out some candles. In your mind, there are going to

2148
06:14:32.400 --> 06:14:43.080
be a hundred candles, and you're going to blow each

2149
06:14:43.200 --> 06:14:53.279
one out individually, one by one, starting at a hundred.

2150
06:14:54.360 --> 06:15:01.720
As I count down all the way down to one,

2151
06:15:06.240 --> 06:15:15.159
and each time I say the number, you can imagine

2152
06:15:15.200 --> 06:15:21.599
that candle in front of you, and I'd like you

2153
06:15:21.759 --> 06:15:41.040
to actually physically generally blow that candle out, just so

2154
06:15:41.119 --> 06:15:49.599
it's not big blow, it's just a gentle and that

2155
06:15:49.959 --> 06:15:59.520
candle will extinguish. And then I'll say the next number,

2156
06:16:01.159 --> 06:16:10.159
so we move down, then you can just blow that

2157
06:16:10.279 --> 06:16:20.240
one out as well. And as we move down the numbers,

2158
06:16:24.799 --> 06:16:30.200
you'll find yourself feeling more and more relaxed.

2159
06:16:33.240 --> 06:16:34.040
If you need.

2160
06:16:35.560 --> 06:16:44.799
To sleep, you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy.

2161
06:16:48.639 --> 06:16:56.080
In fact, you may struggle to blow out all one

2162
06:16:56.240 --> 06:17:12.560
hundred of these care handles as you feel more and

2163
06:17:12.840 --> 06:17:40.639
more deeply relaxed, more and more deeply tired, and the

2164
06:17:41.000 --> 06:17:51.400
further you go down, the more your mind starts to drift.

2165
06:17:57.799 --> 06:18:04.240
You may find that you stop listening to me after

2166
06:18:04.400 --> 06:18:17.520
a while, and even though there maybe background sounds where

2167
06:18:17.560 --> 06:18:29.040
you are, you'll be aware of those sounds at the moment.

2168
06:18:34.000 --> 06:18:34.680
He may.

2169
06:18:37.959 --> 06:18:52.759
Start to just not even notice them at all because

2170
06:18:52.919 --> 06:19:06.479
they're unimportant. Where I am, I've got the sounds of

2171
06:19:06.599 --> 06:19:13.840
the birds, there's horrors, the pigeon who likes to say hello.

2172
06:19:14.119 --> 06:19:26.080
Sometimes there's the odd plane that goes by, maybe traffic

2173
06:19:26.400 --> 06:19:37.040
and trains in the distance, But none of that scene

2174
06:19:37.240 --> 06:19:50.799
is important whatsoever. Or candles you blow out, the less

2175
06:19:51.000 --> 06:20:08.119
important anything is more candles you blow out. The further

2176
06:20:08.720 --> 06:20:28.720
seemed to move away from sounds from general date days,

2177
06:20:29.159 --> 06:20:44.200
stuff seems to just move away on its own. You

2178
06:20:44.919 --> 06:21:05.720
feel more calmer with every candle you blow out, guiding

2179
06:21:05.959 --> 06:21:15.119
you to the next number, did you hear me say?

2180
06:21:22.200 --> 06:21:34.479
And then you blow that candle out to so easy,

2181
06:21:39.360 --> 06:21:59.919
so simple. I'm gonna start by introducing the first candle.

2182
06:22:03.520 --> 06:22:15.759
This is a hundred. First candle, This is one hundred.

2183
06:22:20.639 --> 06:22:34.799
When you blow that candle out, you'll find immediately a

2184
06:22:35.439 --> 06:22:49.400
slight change in how you feel, as well as a

2185
06:22:49.599 --> 06:23:11.759
real sense of positivity growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding.

2186
06:23:20.560 --> 06:23:50.439

fourtotch and nine two eight camel can do four. Let

2209
07:21:02.599 --> 07:21:10.319
go of all of those thoughts, worries, concerns about the past,

2210
07:21:12.200 --> 07:21:16.680
thoughts about the future, and even things you've been thinking

2211
07:21:16.720 --> 07:21:24.319
about today. Just let it all go, because none of

2212
07:21:24.400 --> 07:21:34.240
it is useful in this moment. This is your opportunity

2213
07:21:38.880 --> 07:21:53.439
to just focus on feeling relaxed, allowing yourself to get

2214
07:21:53.520 --> 07:22:02.919
in touch with that natural sense of peace that we

2215
07:22:03.159 --> 07:22:09.840
all have within us. It's available for everyone. It just

2216
07:22:10.000 --> 07:22:15.119
sometimes takes a little bit of effort to set up

2217
07:22:15.240 --> 07:22:21.159
the right time and place in order for you to

2218
07:22:21.520 --> 07:22:30.400
just let go. Because when you do decide to let

2219
07:22:30.520 --> 07:22:35.680
go and relax, that's what your body starts to do

2220
07:22:38.959 --> 07:22:46.479
because you've chosen, You've chosen to just allow your body

2221
07:22:46.880 --> 07:22:55.080
to unwind and your mind starts to slow down. And

2222
07:22:55.200 --> 07:22:59.959
it's a nice feeling. It's a nice feeling at the beginning,

2223
07:23:00.319 --> 07:23:09.000
just to know that you have chosen to decide to

2224
07:23:09.200 --> 07:23:16.959
relax deeply, and because you've made that decision, your body

2225
07:23:18.200 --> 07:23:24.200
will just follow suit. Because sometimes all the muscles in

2226
07:23:24.319 --> 07:23:30.040
your body need is just permission from you to relax.

2227
07:23:34.080 --> 07:23:38.880
Because so often we're busy, we're going from here to there,

2228
07:23:39.040 --> 07:23:44.799
we're walking around and we're doing stuff, and the body

2229
07:23:44.880 --> 07:23:52.959
doesn't have any time or space to really relax deeply.

2230
07:23:56.400 --> 07:23:59.040
So it kind of waits for you to lead the way,

2231
07:24:01.200 --> 07:24:11.240
waits for your permission, and when you do give your permission,

2232
07:24:12.919 --> 07:24:15.439
when you give to say. So when you say okay,

2233
07:24:16.759 --> 07:24:23.799
it's time for your body to let go completely and

2234
07:24:23.959 --> 07:24:35.360
relax totally, your body just follows so like a breath

2235
07:24:35.439 --> 07:24:44.560
of relief. Ah good, I can now relax. Have feeling

2236
07:24:45.520 --> 07:24:48.799
at the end of a day of very physical day

2237
07:24:48.959 --> 07:24:52.599
that you may experience in the past, where you get

2238
07:24:52.720 --> 07:24:56.560
home and you just sit down on a chair, maybe

2239
07:24:56.639 --> 07:25:01.119
you kick your shoes off and are feeling so nice.

2240
07:25:03.000 --> 07:25:05.680
I know that you don't have to get up again

2241
07:25:07.159 --> 07:25:10.279
for a little while at least, and if you choose,

2242
07:25:10.400 --> 07:25:12.880
you can just sit there for maybe an hour to

2243
07:25:14.959 --> 07:25:26.200
kind of feels blissful. And just by sitting down like that,

2244
07:25:27.680 --> 07:25:32.720
your body knows that it's time to relax. Your body

2245
07:25:33.400 --> 07:25:38.919
has been given permission from you because it's a mindset

2246
07:25:40.439 --> 07:25:49.200
in your mind, you're prepared to let go of everything

2247
07:25:51.639 --> 07:25:59.279
and just completely allow all the stress of your body

2248
07:26:00.159 --> 07:26:17.799
to evaporate. Any tensions can just gradually vanish. It's almost

2249
07:26:18.040 --> 07:26:29.840
like magic, really, because that sense of relaxation in your body,

2250
07:26:31.479 --> 07:26:37.599
it's a very natural state. It's not something unusual. It

2251
07:26:37.720 --> 07:26:41.040
may feel unusual when you first start to relax, if

2252
07:26:41.080 --> 07:26:45.400
you if you haven't really spent a lot of time

2253
07:26:45.639 --> 07:26:50.880
focusing and giving yourself this space to let go completely

2254
07:26:51.040 --> 07:26:58.720
and relax may seem almost alien, but it isn't. It's

2255
07:26:58.840 --> 07:27:04.759
actually the most natural thing in the world to let

2256
07:27:04.840 --> 07:27:14.759
go completely, to relax totally, the most natural thing in

2257
07:27:14.880 --> 07:27:27.400
the world to allow yourself to feel really calm in

2258
07:27:27.520 --> 07:27:34.360
your mind. And it is almost like a literal unwinding.

2259
07:27:38.040 --> 07:27:43.479
It's like you press a button and all the tension

2260
07:27:43.880 --> 07:27:49.680
just releases, and it's like a wheel, like a cog,

2261
07:27:50.639 --> 07:27:54.200
like the inside of the clock, just unwinding, and it's

2262
07:27:54.240 --> 07:27:59.000
almost like you could see the little wind up, not

2263
07:27:59.360 --> 07:28:04.360
that you just going the opposite way that you choose

2264
07:28:04.479 --> 07:28:12.319
to wind it up. And the energy that freynetic stress

2265
07:28:12.720 --> 07:28:22.680
for energy gradually winding down, losing its power, losing its strength.

2266
07:28:25.240 --> 07:28:34.520
As a sense of relaxation becomes stronger and deeper, and

2267
07:28:34.840 --> 07:28:42.919
you may find a little more relaxed. You feel that

2268
07:28:43.080 --> 07:28:52.799
your mind starts to wonder. Maybe you seem to stop

2269
07:28:52.959 --> 07:28:58.040
listening to me for a while, your mind goes somewhere else,

2270
07:28:59.479 --> 07:29:05.520
and you realize you're listening to me again, and now

2271
07:29:05.560 --> 07:29:12.080
it's just your mind to drifting to sleep, which is

2272
07:29:12.240 --> 07:29:23.400
quite natural, because sometimes when we're stressed and tense, we're

2273
07:29:23.479 --> 07:29:27.119
not mean I actually be aware of what we need

2274
07:29:28.319 --> 07:29:36.680
or we physically your emotionally need in this moment. But

2275
07:29:36.840 --> 07:29:43.080
when you allow your body and mind to relax completely

2276
07:29:44.840 --> 07:29:52.040
and you let go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas

2277
07:29:53.560 --> 07:29:58.080
all len goo allow them to drop onto the floor,

2278
07:30:03.599 --> 07:30:09.560
you start to get in touch with the feelings of

2279
07:30:11.439 --> 07:30:22.319
such relaxation. Feelings so nice to be in touch with

2280
07:30:23.159 --> 07:30:31.680
the calmness of the different body parts as they become

2281
07:30:32.000 --> 07:30:48.000
looser and looser. Even your breathing seems easier and more natural, effortless,

2282
07:30:51.319 --> 07:30:57.479
as a cool ads through your mouthful nose into your lungs,

2283
07:31:00.200 --> 07:31:08.560
breathing in comforts and relaxation, and then just breathing out

2284
07:31:08.799 --> 07:31:17.400
any excess remain intention or stress from every part of

2285
07:31:17.520 --> 07:31:25.479
your body and mind. As you start to focus on

2286
07:31:25.639 --> 07:31:33.759
your mind, maybe you notice that things have come to

2287
07:31:33.919 --> 07:31:41.279
a standstill, or maybe just much much lower than before,

2288
07:31:44.479 --> 07:31:51.439
because your mind is not really needed when listening to

2289
07:31:51.639 --> 07:32:01.240
my voice, which allows your mind to relax just as

2290
07:32:01.439 --> 07:32:11.360
deep as your body. And that's synchronicity between the relaxation

2291
07:32:12.400 --> 07:32:22.479
of your body relaxation of your mind. Let you know

2292
07:32:22.959 --> 07:32:37.000
that feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed real is a

2293
07:32:37.279 --> 07:32:53.959
great healing experience fear and has so many positive benefits

2294
07:32:55.560 --> 07:33:01.680
for your body, mind, and your life. To be able

2295
07:33:01.799 --> 07:33:11.959
to let go everything and to relax completely. You know,

2296
07:33:12.680 --> 07:33:20.639
all parts of your body and mind, even your bones

2297
07:33:21.200 --> 07:33:36.360
are relaxed, All your muscles are relaxed, even the skin

2298
07:33:37.119 --> 07:33:49.439

2301
07:34:12.400 --> 07:34:14.520
feel the benefits.

2302
07:34:15.759 --> 07:34:16.080
Of this.

2303
07:34:17.680 --> 07:34:30.319
Heathing relaxation. Unless you focus on the inside of your

2304
07:34:30.479 --> 07:34:36.840
scalp where your brain is, you can start to realize

2305
07:34:37.159 --> 07:34:46.119
and notice the benefits of your brain relaxing demail.

2306
07:34:50.119 --> 07:34:50.919
And as your.

2307
07:34:50.919 --> 07:35:02.639
Brain continues to react, sends those messages is to the

2308
07:35:02.840 --> 07:35:09.959
rest of your body and to your mind to re

2309
07:35:10.959 --> 07:35:33.759
relax more deeply, relax more completely, letting go of any

2310
07:35:35.599 --> 07:35:45.759
remaining thoughts, a concens allow them just to drop onto

2311
07:35:45.880 --> 07:35:54.599
the floor because they're not loen necessary in this moment,

2312
07:35:57.000 --> 07:36:10.119

2315
07:36:59.479 --> 07:37:00.119
Your brain.

07:37:01.439 --> 07:37:12.599
Feels so light that's so healthy. That sense of deep,

2317
07:37:14.040 --> 07:37:28.759
deep comfort really does allow you to enjoy those ever

07:37:29.080 --> 07:37:40.240
increasing sensations of comfort that are spreading throughout your body,

that you feel amazing, so relaxed, so piece, so.

So relax.

2333
07:41:29.200 --> 07:41:44.639
And peace, letting go everything. I'm going to do a

2334
07:41:44.880 --> 07:41:52.599
body scan, focusing on firstly how you feel in your body,

2335
07:41:53.720 --> 07:41:59.360
not trying to change how you feel, not trying to relax,

2336
07:42:00.599 --> 07:42:05.599
not trying to move away from any discomfort or stress

2337
07:42:05.840 --> 07:42:13.240
or tension, just accepting observing and accepting how you feel

2338
07:42:14.240 --> 07:42:19.159
in the different parts of your body, Just allowing yourself

2339
07:42:20.560 --> 07:42:28.040
to be exactly as you are, to notice to get

2340
07:42:28.080 --> 07:42:36.720
in touch with how you actually feel in this moment.

2341
07:42:40.200 --> 07:42:46.720
I'm going to start off by focusing on your hands.

2342
07:42:51.279 --> 07:42:59.000
Just be aware of your hands. I'd like you to

2343
07:42:59.200 --> 07:43:04.159
move your hands around, just maybe move your fingers a

2344
07:43:04.240 --> 07:43:10.599
little bit. I've been and closing your hands very gently,

2345
07:43:12.279 --> 07:43:17.919
just so that you can get in touch with how

2346
07:43:18.040 --> 07:43:32.240
your hands and your fingers fell, very very slow movements.

2347
07:43:40.639 --> 07:43:48.400
Focusing now on your feet, and if you can just

2348
07:43:48.560 --> 07:43:53.680
do kind of an equivalent with your feet is you've

2349
07:43:53.880 --> 07:43:59.799
just done with your hands, Maybe turn in your ankle,

2350
07:44:02.080 --> 07:44:10.400
moving your feet around, moving your toes gently, but only

2351
07:44:11.639 --> 07:44:23.439
very gently and very slowly, noticing how your feet feel

2352
07:44:25.520 --> 07:44:38.840
in this moment. Focusing now on your eyes, I'd like

2353
07:44:38.959 --> 07:44:45.959
you to just focus on your eyelids. Maybe you can

2354
07:44:46.159 --> 07:44:50.319
open and close your eyes a couple of times to

2355
07:44:50.560 --> 07:44:54.240
really get in touch with how you feel. When you

2356
07:44:54.439 --> 07:45:02.720
do close your eyes, the muscle changes in your eyes

2357
07:45:02.919 --> 07:45:10.799
when you do close them, maybe raising your eyebrows, it

2358
07:45:11.119 --> 07:45:18.560
stretches the tops of your eyes, perhaps squinting your eyes,

2359
07:45:22.319 --> 07:45:27.639
scrunching up your eyes just so you can really get

2360
07:45:27.720 --> 07:45:38.200
in touch with all aspects of how your eyes feel

2361
07:45:40.959 --> 07:45:56.520
right now. Now focusing on your thighs, then, you know,

2362
07:45:56.520 --> 07:46:01.880
it just starts you to gently tense your thighs, just

2363
07:46:02.840 --> 07:46:13.479
very very gently, just enough so you can become more

2364
07:46:15.520 --> 07:46:26.560
attuned to the physical sensation of your upper legs, the

2365
07:46:26.720 --> 07:46:29.680
front of your thighs, and the backs of your thigh

2366
07:46:34.240 --> 07:46:53.639
noticing and observing how your thighs fear right now, moving

2367
07:46:53.880 --> 07:47:02.319
your focus to the back of your neck, just noticing

2368
07:47:02.479 --> 07:47:08.520
the back of your neck, the muscles, and of course

2369
07:47:08.680 --> 07:47:13.000
they lead to the side of your neck, they also

2370
07:47:13.279 --> 07:47:18.119
lead to the top of your back, which leads to

2371
07:47:18.240 --> 07:47:23.759
your shoulders. So as you focus on the back of

2372
07:47:23.840 --> 07:47:31.200
your neck, maybe you can move your head gently upwards

2373
07:47:32.400 --> 07:47:38.360
as if you're looking up. Maybe moving your head down

2374
07:47:39.799 --> 07:47:46.360
as if you're looking down. Perhaps moving your head side

2375
07:47:46.599 --> 07:47:57.520
to side, right to left, but only very slowly and

2376
07:47:58.000 --> 07:48:06.279
very gently. You're not trying to force anything. It has

2377
07:48:06.439 --> 07:48:17.159
to be very very gentle, just so you can be

2378
07:48:18.200 --> 07:48:28.959
more in touch with the feelings, with the sensations, the

2379
07:48:29.240 --> 07:48:38.080
physical sensations of how on the back of your neck feels.

2380
07:48:39.880 --> 07:48:55.240
Right now, as we now focus on the tops of

2381
07:48:55.400 --> 07:49:01.639
your arms, the parts where you buys and your triceps

2382
07:49:01.680 --> 07:49:09.759
are between your elbow and your shoulders. To focus on

2383
07:49:10.040 --> 07:49:17.200
those parts the tops of your arms, you may like

2384
07:49:17.319 --> 07:49:26.840
to just tense them, but very very gently and slowly,

2385
07:49:29.400 --> 07:49:39.200
so you're straining or putting any pressure whatsoever on your arms.

2386
07:49:41.919 --> 07:49:49.279
It's just so you can gain more of a sense

2387
07:49:49.599 --> 07:49:59.880
of how your upper arms are feeling in this moment.

2388
07:50:03.400 --> 07:50:13.799
Just notice them as you gently, very gently and slowly

2389
07:50:15.520 --> 07:50:27.040
tighten the muscles, and then leto notice how the tops

2390
07:50:27.159 --> 07:50:42.639
of your arms feel right now, as in now, focus

2391
07:50:45.799 --> 07:50:53.360
on your stomach, the area the lower abdomen area below

2392
07:50:53.439 --> 07:51:02.200
your belly button, moving all the way down to your hips,

2393
07:51:03.319 --> 07:51:14.599
just above your grind. Maybe you're able to tense these

2394
07:51:14.759 --> 07:51:32.360
muscles in that area very very gently and slowly. If

2395
07:51:32.520 --> 07:51:36.880
that's a difficult thing to do, maybe you can just

2396
07:51:38.159 --> 07:51:47.560
move your body, pushing your stomach up, maybe moving a

2397
07:51:47.639 --> 07:51:53.360
little bit to a side using your hips, just so

2398
07:51:54.000 --> 07:52:03.599
you get more in tune with how your lower abdomen

2399
07:52:03.880 --> 07:52:23.560
area is feeling in this moment. Just noticing the physical

2400
07:52:25.439 --> 07:52:48.439
sensations or your lower abdomen has moved. Your attention to

2401
07:52:48.599 --> 07:52:59.840
your mouth, notice in your lips and inside your mouth,

2402
07:53:02.159 --> 07:53:19.360
your teeth, your guns, your tongue. Just noticing how your

2403
07:53:19.520 --> 07:53:28.720
tongue and your mouth feels. It may help by moving

2404
07:53:29.040 --> 07:53:35.560
your tongue around your mouth, moving it to your left,

2405
07:53:37.279 --> 07:53:43.000
maybe pressing it gently against the side of your mouth,

2406
07:53:44.520 --> 07:53:49.520
and then to the right, gently to the side of

2407
07:53:49.599 --> 07:53:57.560
your mouth, perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth,

2408
07:53:58.720 --> 07:54:04.560
and then down gently against the bottom of your mouth,

2409
07:54:07.279 --> 07:54:23.479
always very slowly and a very very gentle so that

2410
07:54:23.720 --> 07:54:39.159
you can be aware of how you feel in your

2411
07:54:39.240 --> 07:55:00.560
mouth area. Now I'm going to focus on your wrists

2412
07:55:11.159 --> 07:55:18.240
and I'll ask you to maybe just rotate your wrists

2413
07:55:20.080 --> 07:55:28.119
by moving your hands in a circular motion very gently

2414
07:55:30.080 --> 07:55:52.000
and slowly, just soly can feel the sensations that you

2415
07:55:52.479 --> 07:56:07.799
are currently experiencing in your wrists. Perhaps move in your

2416
07:56:08.000 --> 07:56:25.080
hands up and down again fairy, very champely and slowly,

2417
07:56:34.119 --> 07:57:04.639
very chancel and slow as now start troops. So your

2418
07:57:04.840 --> 07:57:16.680
lower back there bad part is just above your hips

2419
07:57:21.080 --> 07:57:33.599
where your coxis are a whole area which also really

2420
07:57:33.799 --> 07:57:40.959
does include the side of your body because those muscles

2421
07:57:41.040 --> 07:57:51.759
are very much connected. There's those muscles also move into

2422
07:57:51.880 --> 07:58:01.240
your hiperia, connecting to your buttocks. Sides of your hips,

2423
07:58:09.759 --> 07:58:18.119
and if you're physically able to do so, maybe you

2424
07:58:18.279 --> 07:58:31.119
can very gently just move your body evers slightly, very

2425
07:58:31.479 --> 07:58:53.119
slowly some side, decide just enough to engage how you

2426
07:58:53.400 --> 07:59:10.799
feel in your lower back, perhaps sly, even move your

2427
07:59:11.040 --> 07:59:12.720
hips gently.

2428
07:59:14.599 --> 07:59:15.560
Up and down.

2429
07:59:19.119 --> 07:59:25.520
Gently slowly, in order to.

2430
07:59:30.159 --> 07:59:31.680
Be in touch.

2431
07:59:34.040 --> 07:59:57.919
With the physical sensations of your law back. As we now,

2432
07:59:58.279 --> 08:00:13.759
move your attention to your jaw, an area from your

2433
08:00:14.000 --> 08:00:19.639
chin all the way up to near where your ears are,

2434
08:00:22.959 --> 08:00:37.840
all of your jaw, and you can just if it's

2435
08:00:38.000 --> 08:00:47.880
okay to do so, gently open your mouth, no wide

2436
08:00:48.439 --> 08:00:59.360
noice stretching, just very gently and slowly opening your mouth,

2437
08:01:03.759 --> 08:01:25.599
closing your mouth gently and slowly so you cannot pain

2438
08:01:25.840 --> 08:02:05.840
touch with how your jaw feels now and I have

2439
08:02:05.959 --> 08:02:21.639
to sing now. Your chest area, you don't need to

2440
08:02:21.840 --> 08:02:30.040
do anything to move your chest because it moves every

2441
08:02:30.159 --> 08:02:40.279
time you breathe. It moves very gently.

2442
08:02:41.639 --> 08:02:43.720
And slowly.

2443
08:02:45.479 --> 08:03:00.439
Automatically. With each breath you tape as your folks on

2444
08:03:03.880 --> 08:03:47.799
your chest fields when you breathe better in your focus

2445
08:03:49.759 --> 08:04:05.520
to your forms, you elbos. Maybe you're able to very

2446
08:04:06.119 --> 08:04:19.959
gently and slowly tense the muscles in your forearms. And

2447
08:04:20.119 --> 08:04:27.360
when you do that, you can feel your elbows as well,

2448
08:04:36.720 --> 08:05:09.720
very gently and slowly, gently and softly observing your forearms

2449
08:05:12.919 --> 08:05:42.639
and delpas. Now a focus the rest of your back,

2450
08:05:46.759 --> 08:06:09.000
your upper back in the middle, the middle of your back. Again,

2451
08:06:09.680 --> 08:06:12.040
this part of your body.

2452
08:06:14.680 --> 08:06:15.119
Moves.

2453
08:06:17.240 --> 08:06:26.919
Also every time you pray. You may not notice that.

2454
08:06:29.119 --> 08:06:41.240
Usually these you observe your upper back in the middle

2455
08:06:41.319 --> 08:06:48.279
of your back. You can really feel.

2456
08:06:50.439 --> 08:06:50.479
That.

2457
08:06:52.200 --> 08:07:51.759
Gentle and moving your focus into your hip area, your butty.

2458
08:07:54.439 --> 08:07:54.759
Bray.

2459
08:07:57.560 --> 08:08:03.720
There's a muscle, there's a nice by in your midsection.

2460
08:08:31.319 --> 08:08:36.880
Just noticing how your hips.

2461
08:08:39.119 --> 08:08:39.439
Feel.

2462
08:08:42.599 --> 08:09:05.720
Right now you can very very gently move it's maybe

2463
08:09:06.240 --> 08:09:37.000
side to side and gently and so yeah, very gently,

2464
08:09:44.040 --> 08:10:14.639
softly and slowly. Everything starts to slow down, including the

2465
08:10:15.279 --> 08:10:24.000
thoughts in your mind and your mind itself just starts

2466
08:10:24.400 --> 08:10:29.759
to gradually. It doesn't have to be instant, but just

2467
08:10:30.680 --> 08:10:39.919
gradually starting too. It's almost like time is storing chin.

2468
08:10:43.799 --> 08:10:49.759
It's a slower pace to maybe what you're used to

2469
08:10:52.119 --> 08:10:59.919
in your day to day life. It's a slower movement

2470
08:11:00.000 --> 08:11:24.639
and of energy, very small movements which make up the

2471
08:11:24.799 --> 08:11:32.240
larger movements, which is always the case. Now, when you

2472
08:11:32.479 --> 08:11:37.360
move your hand, it might seem like it's one movement

2473
08:11:37.479 --> 08:11:45.439
but it's lots of minute different muscles moving in accordance

2474
08:11:45.560 --> 08:11:56.720
with each other. And what happens in this space that

2475
08:11:56.880 --> 08:12:16.080
we're sharing is we move from that big movement into

2476
08:12:16.200 --> 08:12:33.560
those smaller movements. Starting to focus on how your body feels,

2477
08:12:35.360 --> 08:12:39.720
not just as a whole, not just oh, i'm feeling

2478
08:12:39.880 --> 08:12:44.759
this way. I'm feeling stressed or tense, or I'm feeling

2479
08:12:44.919 --> 08:12:50.279
relaxed and calm. I'm feeling this way, I'm feeling that way.

2480
08:12:53.759 --> 08:13:01.840
Starting to notice that your body begins to present to

2481
08:13:01.959 --> 08:13:22.680
you small feelings around your body, small physical sensations in

2482
08:13:22.799 --> 08:13:38.240
your legs, whether pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting the temptation

2483
08:13:38.639 --> 08:13:48.080
to label them or to judge them those feelings. Just

2484
08:13:48.360 --> 08:13:50.799
thinking them, thinking about them is.

2485
08:13:50.919 --> 08:14:07.840
Just being neutral, just feelings, not being particularly concerned, but

2486
08:14:08.080 --> 08:14:09.599
just noticing.

2487
08:14:10.439 --> 08:14:23.959
What your body is telling you, the feelings in your arms,

2488
08:14:27.000 --> 08:14:31.919
instead of feeling the whole of the arm, Maybe notice

2489
08:14:32.200 --> 08:14:45.040
those individual feelings, all those different muscles and the skin,

2490
08:14:48.279 --> 08:14:54.080
the hairs of your arms, all the internal parts of

2491
08:14:54.200 --> 08:15:10.479
your arms, the veins, the bones, Just being aware of

2492
08:15:13.599 --> 08:15:20.000
maybe your elbow on your right arm has a certain feeling,

2493
08:15:22.119 --> 08:15:35.799
Maybe your left wrist also has its own individual physical sensation.

2494
08:15:48.240 --> 08:15:54.959
What about your forearm, on your right arm, your right forearm,

2495
08:16:02.319 --> 08:16:08.400
there may not be any particular feeling that you could

2496
08:16:08.479 --> 08:16:16.319
even give a name to, may not feel like anything

2497
08:16:17.319 --> 08:16:28.119
other than just a feeling. Yeah, it's there. The feelings

2498
08:16:28.159 --> 08:16:34.159
in your shoulders, perhaps your shoulders, when you think about them,

2499
08:16:35.159 --> 08:16:38.400
you're kind of almost like they're the same, you know,

2500
08:16:39.639 --> 08:16:44.759
the same feeling, almost like both of your shoulders are

2501
08:16:44.840 --> 08:16:57.639
just one thing. Of course they're not. And when you

2502
08:16:57.840 --> 08:17:03.880
focus on your left shoulder and then on your right shoulder,

2503
08:17:05.919 --> 08:17:10.400
maybe find that you move the muscles a little bit,

2504
08:17:11.919 --> 08:17:26.759
maybe tense the muscles gently, noticing the difference in each shoulder.

2505
08:17:38.159 --> 08:17:54.000
Your lower back, the left side of your lower back

2506
08:17:54.240 --> 08:18:05.639
and the right side of your lower back of course

2507
08:18:05.720 --> 08:18:17.959
that connection to your buttocks and to your hips, and

2508
08:18:18.080 --> 08:18:31.439
also moving up into the middle of your back. And

2509
08:18:31.639 --> 08:18:36.200
sometimes like right now, actually when I focus on their part,

2510
08:18:37.599 --> 08:18:41.959
when I focused on my buttocks and then I focused

2511
08:18:42.040 --> 08:18:46.119
on the middle of my back, I almost felt like

2512
08:18:46.360 --> 08:18:51.119
the muscles in my muller back were being stretched very gently,

2513
08:18:55.880 --> 08:19:01.159
just stretched a little bit. Even though I wasn't doing

2514
08:19:01.240 --> 08:19:10.000
anything to try to stretch your lower back, it just

2515
08:19:10.119 --> 08:19:22.400
seemed to happen. The feeling of very gently stretching your

2516
08:19:22.479 --> 08:19:41.560
lower back comes along. I have feeling in your chest,

2517
08:19:49.200 --> 08:20:02.159
just noticing what sensations you like, uriance in in your

2518
08:20:02.279 --> 08:20:17.560
chest right now. And there's so much of the chest.

2519
08:20:18.639 --> 08:20:19.560
Of course, there's the.

2520
08:20:19.639 --> 08:20:23.840
Collar bone leading to the chest. You've got the chest bone,

2521
08:20:27.080 --> 08:20:34.880
You've got the muscles in your chest. Of course, if

2522
08:20:34.919 --> 08:20:43.040
you're female, there's possibly the breasts. If you're male, you've

2523
08:20:43.119 --> 08:20:49.439
got the different well why not that different these days,

2524
08:20:49.479 --> 08:20:56.639
but there may be more muscles at the top of

2525
08:20:56.680 --> 08:21:04.319
the chest, but at the side underneath it's pretty much

2526
08:21:04.400 --> 08:21:07.840
the same. Whether you're a man or a woman. There's

2527
08:21:07.959 --> 08:21:14.759
muscles there, muscles that stretch out to your back as

2528
08:21:14.799 --> 08:21:18.639
well as breast tissue. It stretches and moves into your back.

2529
08:21:23.520 --> 08:21:42.520
So just being aware of your chest, being with whatever

2530
08:21:42.759 --> 08:22:02.319
feeling there is in your chest. And when I noticed that,

2531
08:22:03.080 --> 08:22:11.240
I focus on my chest. I feel it in my back,

2532
08:22:11.560 --> 08:22:15.639
my upper back. I mean, I guess the obvious reason

2533
08:22:15.680 --> 08:22:25.799
would be because you know I'm grieve in in then

2534
08:22:25.880 --> 08:22:29.439
it stretches my chest and my back at the same time.

2535
08:22:37.360 --> 08:22:52.599
It feels it feels okay, it doesn't feel I got

2536
08:22:52.599 --> 08:22:58.880
a little bit of pain in my right chest, a

2537
08:22:58.959 --> 08:23:05.080
little bit, not pain, but little discomfort, maybe stiffness possibly,

2538
08:23:05.599 --> 08:23:14.520
I don't know. I notice my shoulders are also wanting

2539
08:23:14.680 --> 08:23:21.639
to flex for some reason. I think that's probably part

2540
08:23:21.720 --> 08:23:30.159
of my upper back, that connection between my shoulders and

2541
08:23:30.200 --> 08:23:34.319
my upper back, because I can move my shoulders and

2542
08:23:35.439 --> 08:23:42.119
stretch the muscles in my back, moving the shoulders backwards

2543
08:23:43.080 --> 08:23:48.599
or up, which then moves. I think it's the scapulous

2544
08:23:51.279 --> 08:24:08.959
in your back. It feels quite nice. Actually, a good

2545
08:24:09.000 --> 08:24:12.319
thing about this is you can, if you want to,

2546
08:24:13.080 --> 08:24:27.959
you can just flex or stimulate the various muscles in

2547
08:24:28.080 --> 08:24:33.799
your body gently in order to get more of a

2548
08:24:34.000 --> 08:24:48.919
sense of how they feel. And when you're relaxing, when

2549
08:24:48.959 --> 08:24:53.000
you do tense and muscle, then you let it go

2550
08:24:53.319 --> 08:24:57.400
and you let it relax. It relaxes.

2551
08:24:59.479 --> 08:25:00.639
Way more.

2552
08:25:02.000 --> 08:25:12.000
Than it would normally. But you have to feel that

2553
08:25:12.080 --> 08:25:15.840
you're able to do that. There's no point in doing

2554
08:25:15.880 --> 08:25:21.439
it if there's an issue with the per part of

2555
08:25:21.520 --> 08:25:30.720
your body. You need to be gentle with yourself at

2556
08:25:30.959 --> 08:25:44.799
all times when relaxing deeply. It's important to be kind

2557
08:25:45.520 --> 08:26:01.560
to yourself. As you notice your mind. How much has

2558
08:26:01.599 --> 08:26:25.240
your mind slowed down since we started this recording, how

2559
08:26:25.479 --> 08:26:40.720
came and peaceful is your mind right now? We have

2560
08:26:40.880 --> 08:26:46.799
nothing to think about and just my voice to listen to.

2561
08:26:50.959 --> 08:26:59.520
Because you know the intention behind this recording, this relaxation.

2562
08:27:02.240 --> 08:27:07.400
At the very least, for you to feel more relaxed

2563
08:27:08.720 --> 08:27:11.599
at the end of the recording than you did at

2564
08:27:11.639 --> 08:27:24.279
the beginning, at the very least, for your mind to

2565
08:27:24.639 --> 08:27:40.799
slow down because your body continues to relax, because that's

2566
08:27:41.200 --> 08:27:57.080
what you want to happen. That's what you expect to happen,

2567
08:28:03.159 --> 08:28:21.119
for relaxation to fill your body, maybe calm in your

2568
08:28:21.319 --> 08:28:30.159
mind to the point of boredom. When you start maybe

2569
08:28:30.599 --> 08:29:17.040
to drift away. Drifting, it's almost as if you're moving

2570
08:29:17.680 --> 08:29:25.560
further away from your body in your mind, just leaving

2571
08:29:25.759 --> 08:29:37.720
that there, kind of liking it an escape pod in

2572
08:29:37.840 --> 08:29:42.159
a spaceship a movie, a space movie. You know when

2573
08:29:42.159 --> 08:29:46.040
they get into a little pod in it. Since the

2574
08:29:46.159 --> 08:30:10.720
month far away from the spaceship, say to dream and

2575
08:30:10.919 --> 08:31:29.880
continue to relax. Drifting so slow and peace, so rare

2576
08:31:43.080 --> 08:32:17.720
and peace, and focusing on that feeling of those individual

2577
08:32:18.240 --> 08:32:26.040
parts of your body that are relaxing.

2578
08:32:27.279 --> 08:32:28.000
One by one.

2579
08:32:35.680 --> 08:32:36.200
You may.

2580
08:32:37.919 --> 08:32:51.599
Find that every now and then you realize that you

2581
08:32:51.759 --> 08:33:00.400
weren't listening to my voice because your mind start to

2582
08:33:00.639 --> 08:33:15.840
imagine something different, maybe started to almost move into some

2583
08:33:16.159 --> 08:33:24.599
kind of a dreamy state. And then you become aware

2584
08:33:24.799 --> 08:33:34.040
of my voice again. And even though you may want

2585
08:33:34.240 --> 08:33:39.159
to focus on my voice, you may also wish to

2586
08:33:41.680 --> 08:33:53.279
allow your mind to just drift naturally into that space

2587
08:33:53.560 --> 08:34:17.560
of comfort and safety. As you feel more comfort spreading

2588
08:34:17.919 --> 08:34:30.720
through your body like a warm blanket covering you, chipping

2589
08:34:34.720 --> 08:34:52.799
keeping your body it just the perfect temperature, and even

2590
08:34:52.959 --> 08:35:04.959
if you can hear background sounds, they just don't seem

2591
08:35:05.119 --> 08:35:21.880
to matter anymore. There's that sense of peace spreads through

2592
08:35:21.959 --> 08:35:35.599
your mind like a gentle breeze, yet strong enough to

2593
08:35:35.799 --> 08:35:52.040
blow away all negativity, strong enough to remove from your

2594
08:35:52.200 --> 08:36:10.000
mind any anxiety or stress that was there before, and

2595
08:36:10.279 --> 08:36:20.959
blow away any other thoughts or feelings that just don't

2596
08:36:21.319 --> 08:36:45.560
fit with the sense relaxation that is feeling your body

2597
08:36:50.639 --> 08:37:08.040
end your mind. And as you focus on your mind

2598
08:37:10.240 --> 08:37:15.560
and the countdown from ten down to one, and with

2599
08:37:15.919 --> 08:37:41.799
each number you hear, your mind will become slightly more relaxed,

2600
08:37:44.560 --> 08:37:47.279
just just slightly.

2601
08:37:49.799 --> 08:37:49.840
So.

2602
08:37:50.040 --> 08:37:57.040
From ten down to nine, just a slight movement, from

2603
08:37:57.240 --> 08:38:09.479
nine down to eight, just another small change in how

2604
08:38:09.639 --> 08:38:22.680
you feel eight down to seven, that feelings is a gap,

2605
08:38:23.560 --> 08:38:29.119
almost like a gap that starts to get wider, the

2606
08:38:29.279 --> 08:38:37.520
gap between those feelings that you used to have in

2607
08:38:37.680 --> 08:38:45.080
your mind compared to the feelings you have that are

2608
08:38:45.240 --> 08:38:57.400
growing now, feelings of comfort and security and confidence, and

2609
08:38:57.560 --> 08:39:03.880
that gap becomes wider. Make down to seven, seven, down

2610
08:39:04.000 --> 08:39:12.479
to six, and when you get to five, your mind

2611
08:39:12.599 --> 08:39:26.000
will start to have a certain physical sensation, almost like

2612
08:39:26.159 --> 08:39:32.959
there's a magnet outside of your head sucking the tension

2613
08:39:33.159 --> 08:39:38.919
and the stress and any remaining feelings that you don't want,

2614
08:39:40.919 --> 08:39:49.959
sucking them out through your skull. And in down to

2615
08:39:50.240 --> 08:39:57.680
four you could start to really experience that sense of

2616
08:39:59.200 --> 08:40:09.720
not just emptiness, but space, a place full of fresh air,

2617
08:40:14.759 --> 08:40:21.560
place where you can stretch. It's almost as if as

2618
08:40:21.599 --> 08:40:26.759
you go down to four and three, your mind is expanding,

2619
08:40:27.400 --> 08:40:40.479
with this sense of peace and tranquility growing as it

2620
08:40:40.639 --> 08:40:48.400
moves down to When you get to one, your mind

2621
08:40:51.720 --> 08:41:03.159
just feels exactly how you want to feel most, a

2622
08:41:03.400 --> 08:41:18.319
perfect feeling, maybe a sensation that you'd like to keep

2623
08:41:21.560 --> 08:41:32.360
a place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,

2624
08:41:44.080 --> 08:41:48.799
and you can stay in that that space of comfort

2625
08:41:48.880 --> 08:41:58.599
and confidence confident in your own ability to create this

2626
08:41:59.479 --> 08:42:05.520
space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind

2627
08:42:07.119 --> 08:42:17.040
just by counting ten down to one. And this is

2628
08:42:17.159 --> 08:42:21.560
something that you can do yourself when you're on your

2629
08:42:21.639 --> 08:42:30.439
own a time when you can maybe sit down, maybe

2630
08:42:30.599 --> 08:42:43.360
just for a few minutes, close your eyes, just count slowly.

2631
08:42:43.439 --> 08:42:44.400
From ten.

2632
08:42:47.080 --> 08:42:59.000
Down to one and re experience these feelings in your mind.

2633
08:43:04.880 --> 08:43:09.159
And when you feel that way in your mind, your

2634
08:43:09.240 --> 08:43:23.799
body copies your mind, and that feeling it's spread through

2635
08:43:24.000 --> 08:43:31.119
your spine and your nervous system into every part of

2636
08:43:31.240 --> 08:43:46.319
your body, travels through your bloodstream, healing and relaxing every

2637
08:43:47.319 --> 08:44:05.240
particle of your existence. And we can practice this a

2638
08:44:05.360 --> 08:44:13.439
few times before the end of the recording, and then

2639
08:44:13.520 --> 08:44:20.479
you can practice on your own, and each time you

2640
08:44:20.759 --> 08:44:32.479
count from ten down to one, the feelings of comfort, calmness,

2641
08:44:32.680 --> 08:44:51.119
and deep deep relaxation becomes stronger and deeper, filling your

2642
08:44:52.400 --> 08:45:02.360
mind and your brain with these positive chemicals spread throughout

2643
08:45:02.439 --> 08:45:12.240
your body, relaxing you so quickly, relaxing your whole body

2644
08:45:12.479 --> 08:45:24.520
and mind so very, very easily just by counting.

2645
08:45:25.520 --> 08:45:26.400
From ten.

2646
08:45:29.040 --> 08:45:36.240
Down to one. That so we're going to do now,

2647
08:45:37.080 --> 08:45:41.000
I'm going to count from ten down to one. I'd

2648
08:45:41.200 --> 08:45:45.520
like you to repeat the number after me. So when

2649
08:45:45.560 --> 08:46:00.599
I say ten, you can just repeat to yourself ten. Notice,

2650
08:46:01.240 --> 08:46:10.000
be aware of how you feel in your mind, in

2651
08:46:10.119 --> 08:46:19.520
your body, and when I say nine, you can repeat

2652
08:46:20.720 --> 08:46:35.639
to yourself nine a gain, noticing the increase in comfort

2653
08:46:36.000 --> 08:46:48.919
and calmness in your mind and in your body. The

2654
08:46:49.080 --> 08:46:58.319
same when I say eight, when I say seven, six,

2655
08:47:00.880 --> 08:47:15.159
when I say five, four, when I say three, two,

2656
08:47:19.560 --> 08:47:33.360
and lastly when I say one, you can repeat that number. Now.

2657
08:47:33.479 --> 08:47:39.040
Of course, when you do this on your own without

2658
08:47:39.159 --> 08:47:44.159
listening to me, you can say the numbers or whatever

2659
08:47:45.799 --> 08:47:54.240
speed that you feel is necessary for you, so you

2660
08:47:54.360 --> 08:48:00.959
can adapt. So you feel you want to the numbers

2661
08:48:01.279 --> 08:48:08.080
ten down to one faster than I do, then you

2662
08:48:08.200 --> 08:48:11.959
go ahead and do that. Or if you feel when

2663
08:48:12.000 --> 08:48:15.799
you do it yourself that you'd like to have more

2664
08:48:17.599 --> 08:48:24.159
more space between the numbers, maybe take a lot longer

2665
08:48:25.439 --> 08:48:31.279
to get from ten all the way down to one,

2666
08:48:35.479 --> 08:48:48.040
that's your choice also to do. So I'm going to

2667
08:48:48.200 --> 08:48:56.360
count from ten down to one, and I want to

2668
08:48:56.400 --> 08:49:00.959
get to one. That will be the end this recording.

2669
08:49:03.439 --> 08:49:07.080
The let's of course, you're listening with music, and the

2670
08:49:07.240 --> 08:55:09.080
music will continue ten nine, eight, twenty ninety eighty, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

2671
08:55:13.439 --> 08:55:41.680
three two one. Now open your eyes, noticing how you

2672
08:55:41.799 --> 08:55:50.200
physically feel having counted down from twenty to one, allowing

2673
08:55:51.000 --> 08:55:55.360
stress and tension to leave through your fingertips and your toes.

2674
08:55:56.959 --> 08:56:01.639
And as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel

2675
08:56:01.639 --> 08:56:08.439
a little bit tingling, which is I suppose quite understanding

2676
08:56:08.599 --> 08:56:13.680
considering the tension has been exiting your body through your fingertips.

2677
08:56:20.159 --> 08:56:22.119
So now I'm going to count from twenty down to

2678
08:56:22.240 --> 08:56:29.479
one again. This time you go to feel relief of

2679
08:56:29.639 --> 08:56:40.400
tension and stress, any anxiety that you may have leaving

2680
08:56:42.599 --> 08:56:48.560
through your stomach just leaving through your stomach, almost as

2681
08:56:48.599 --> 08:56:55.240
if it's just releasing. The whole of your stomach will

2682
08:56:55.360 --> 08:56:59.840
navel to just above your chest or below your chest,

2683
08:57:01.319 --> 08:57:04.599
so surrounding your belly by an area, the whole area.

2684
08:57:06.680 --> 08:57:10.919
You can feel the tension of your body where there's

2685
08:57:11.000 --> 08:57:16.680
left just releasing from that area, and you may notice

2686
08:57:16.799 --> 08:57:22.040
that your stomach will become very relaxed as I countdown

2687
08:57:23.040 --> 08:57:47.119
from twenty down to one. Now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen,

2688
08:57:51.959 --> 08:58:47.360
sixteen fifteen, fourteen, thirty, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

2689
08:58:51.520 --> 08:59:08.439
three two. Or you can open your eyes again if

2690
08:59:08.479 --> 08:59:12.040
you choose, or you can just keep them closed because

2691
08:59:12.080 --> 08:59:18.919
it feels relaxing. Just notice how your stomach feels. I

2692
08:59:19.040 --> 08:59:22.799
notice as your focus, just do a little scan of

2693
08:59:22.919 --> 08:59:32.319
your body. Just notice how your body feels, focusing your

2694
08:59:32.439 --> 08:59:43.000
upper body, back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet, Just noticing,

2695
08:59:47.240 --> 08:59:51.840
and you know, you may start to film more of

2696
08:59:51.919 --> 08:59:57.000
a sense of tiredness, which may be the reason listening

2697
08:59:57.080 --> 09:00:03.720
to this recording, because you I would like to let

2698
09:00:03.880 --> 09:00:15.479
go completely of everything and drift or off into a nice, natural, calm,

2699
09:00:15.840 --> 09:00:31.040
relaxing sleep. So now we're going to focus on your forehead,

2700
09:00:34.959 --> 09:00:37.720
and if you choose, you can incorporate your eyes in

2701
09:00:37.880 --> 09:00:42.479
this focus as well. So your forehead and your eyes,

2702
09:00:44.599 --> 09:00:49.000
it's that whole area basically almost as if you were

2703
09:00:49.080 --> 09:00:53.040
wearing a mask, you know, like a I don't know,

2704
09:00:53.080 --> 09:00:59.680
a Batman mask or something, or I'm trying to sorrow

2705
09:00:59.840 --> 09:01:01.880
or something, you know, the kind of mask that covers

2706
09:01:01.959 --> 09:01:05.040
your eyes but also covers quite a lot of the forehead.

2707
09:01:08.919 --> 09:01:11.959
Focusing on that area because that's the area that we're

2708
09:01:12.000 --> 09:01:16.319
now going to release tension and stress from your mind,

2709
09:01:18.240 --> 09:01:22.119
from your brain, from your mind, and any tension that

2710
09:01:22.240 --> 09:01:26.080
you may have remaining in your face, in your neck

2711
09:01:26.560 --> 09:01:32.400
and your jaw, in your eyes, your forehead, or your scalp.

2712
09:01:34.000 --> 09:01:39.319
So basically any tension within your head area, including your

2713
09:01:39.479 --> 09:01:46.400
mind and your brain, and that's going to be released

2714
09:01:48.000 --> 09:01:54.599
through your forehead and your eyes. As I counted down

2715
09:01:54.680 --> 09:03:20.560
again from twenty down to one twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

2716
09:03:26.200 --> 09:03:55.840
wur three one, noticing the you scan your face, pjaw,

2717
09:03:56.400 --> 09:04:05.200
your eyes, but cheap bones, is your forehead, your scalp,

2718
09:04:06.840 --> 09:04:10.479
your neck, the back of your neck and the front

2719
09:04:10.560 --> 09:04:14.400
of your neck, the side of your neck, and your throat.

2720
09:04:20.680 --> 09:04:33.959
Noticing being aware of the comfort, increased feeling relaxation, not

2721
09:04:34.360 --> 09:04:39.319
just in your head and neck and mind, also the

2722
09:04:39.439 --> 09:04:49.400
rest of your body. Just notice how loose the calm

2723
09:04:49.560 --> 09:04:56.040
you film and how easily it is to just let go.

2724
09:04:58.840 --> 09:05:14.560
Completely, let go completely, how easely.

2725
09:05:22.400 --> 09:05:25.400
So what I'm going to do now is we need

2726
09:05:25.439 --> 09:05:27.400
to focus on the top of your head.

2727
09:05:32.840 --> 09:05:33.000
Am.

2728
09:05:33.040 --> 09:05:41.919
We're going to allow every last piece of tension or stress,

2729
09:05:42.159 --> 09:05:47.919
the mind be lingering or hiding in your body or

2730
09:05:48.080 --> 09:05:55.639
mind or head to just be sucked out at the

2731
09:05:55.759 --> 09:05:56.840
top of your head.

2732
09:05:59.200 --> 09:06:04.119
At least into the air.

2733
09:06:05.520 --> 09:06:11.559
Was sucked down into the clouds. Imagine a big cloud

2734
09:06:11.639 --> 09:06:17.199
above your head, almost like a whirlpool, and this is

2735
09:06:17.360 --> 09:06:19.599
gonna suck that tension.

2736
09:06:20.800 --> 09:06:22.440
Out of the top of your head.

2737
09:06:24.559 --> 09:06:34.120
And just take away good to focus. Imagine an opening

2738
09:06:34.279 --> 09:06:38.120
on the top of your head with that tension and

2739
09:06:38.400 --> 09:06:43.040
stress and any re made in issues, maybe worries or

2740
09:06:43.160 --> 09:06:45.680
concerns that are not used to you.

2741
09:06:45.839 --> 09:06:49.599
Now you can all be sucked down at the top

2742
09:06:49.639 --> 09:06:50.040
of your.

2743
09:06:50.000 --> 09:06:57.360
Head and taken away. As I count down again, I'm

2744
09:06:57.480 --> 09:07:31.959
twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen seventy, sixteen

2745
09:07:37.839 --> 09:08:41.559
fifty Fourteeneen twelve eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.

2746
09:08:46.800 --> 09:08:51.879
Four three.

2747
09:09:01.400 --> 09:09:12.360
Wha bre.

2748
09:09:17.400 --> 09:09:30.879
Noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm you physically

2749
09:09:31.919 --> 09:09:45.760
and mentally feel right now, help peaceful your mind feels.

2750
09:09:48.360 --> 09:09:53.559
It feels so nice to just let go, to give

2751
09:09:53.599 --> 09:10:07.400
yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly, and

2752
09:10:07.639 --> 09:10:12.760
just to take a break from all that pointless worry

2753
09:10:13.040 --> 09:10:18.199
and concerns about things that you don't need to think

2754
09:10:18.279 --> 09:10:29.120
about right now, because this is your time to let go.

2755
09:10:30.519 --> 09:10:40.279
This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful

2756
09:10:40.400 --> 09:10:47.680
in your mind, relaxed in your body. They can feel

2757
09:10:48.239 --> 09:10:58.040
so good, so nice to just not have to do anything,

2758
09:11:00.360 --> 09:11:09.319
to be able to really enjoy that serenity that comes

2759
09:11:10.839 --> 09:11:23.919
with letting go completely, that peacefulness that comes with being

2760
09:11:24.559 --> 09:11:35.839
in this peaceful space. And you can keep this sense

2761
09:11:36.040 --> 09:11:47.919
of calmness for as long as you choose. If you

2762
09:11:48.160 --> 09:11:54.800
choose to drift off into a deep, healing, natural sleep,

2763
09:11:56.120 --> 09:12:02.800
then you can do that. It's completely up to you.

2764
09:12:07.639 --> 09:12:12.319
And you can keep this feeling of calmness physically and

2765
09:12:12.400 --> 09:12:17.879
in your mind for as long as you choose to

2766
09:12:18.080 --> 09:12:33.360
feel completely relaxed, completely relaxed. And I'd like you to

2767
09:12:33.879 --> 09:12:47.760
make up your mind that you're going to relax, and

2768
09:12:47.800 --> 09:12:51.000
I want to explore that with you. What it feels

2769
09:12:51.160 --> 09:12:58.000
like when you actually decide that you're going to relax,

2770
09:13:00.080 --> 09:13:06.279
forcing yourself, but giving yourself that, I guess it is

2771
09:13:06.360 --> 09:13:11.319
a command, really, isn't it. When you're telling yourself relax

2772
09:13:13.519 --> 09:13:18.760
in a gentle but firm way that only you can

2773
09:13:18.879 --> 09:13:23.800
really tell yourself in that way, you can't only have

2774
09:13:23.919 --> 09:13:28.559
someone else saying to you, now it relax, relax, you know,

2775
09:13:29.559 --> 09:13:32.800
and it needs to be gentle. But you can't someone

2776
09:13:32.839 --> 09:13:39.839
else can't really have the same the same kind of

2777
09:13:40.480 --> 09:13:49.440
influence or power that you have over your own physicality,

2778
09:13:50.239 --> 09:13:59.879
over how you feel, because when you say it to yourself,

2779
09:14:01.199 --> 09:14:08.160
it means more. It's personal, and your brain and your

2780
09:14:08.599 --> 09:14:13.319
unconscious mind and your body listens to what you say.

2781
09:14:15.599 --> 09:14:19.080
So for example, we'll test it out and do a

2782
09:14:19.120 --> 09:14:23.080
little test, a few little tests along the way, and

2783
09:14:23.199 --> 09:14:28.160
you can get more of an idea of the force,

2784
09:14:29.120 --> 09:14:35.839
the positive force that you can have in creating a

2785
09:14:36.040 --> 09:14:40.000
sense of comfort and relaxation and your body and your

2786
09:14:40.080 --> 09:14:49.400
mind quite quickly just by you telling yourself to relax.

2787
09:14:54.040 --> 09:14:57.680
So I'm going to start by let's focus on your hands.

2788
09:15:01.319 --> 09:15:03.519
So focus on your hands and just tell your hands

2789
09:15:03.879 --> 09:15:09.839
to relax, and just say relax. As you focus on

2790
09:15:09.919 --> 09:15:16.879
your hands, you could say, my hands are relaxed, or

2791
09:15:16.919 --> 09:15:21.080
I want my hands to relax. I think if you

2792
09:15:21.160 --> 09:15:27.959
actually do it directly by focusing and imagining that your

2793
09:15:28.120 --> 09:15:31.919
hands can hear what you're saying, you know, they've got

2794
09:15:32.000 --> 09:15:37.720
little ears, which is a bit weird. So talking to

2795
09:15:37.879 --> 09:15:54.639
your hands and just say relax, noticing how your hands

2796
09:15:54.680 --> 09:16:10.279
start to relax. Now focus on your eyes and tell

2797
09:16:10.279 --> 09:16:13.639
your eyes to relax. You just say in the same

2798
09:16:13.720 --> 09:16:23.040
word relax and find the right tone for you. You know,

2799
09:16:23.239 --> 09:16:30.160
I might say relax, but you you might say relax

2800
09:16:31.279 --> 09:16:36.639
or relax. You know, you might say it differently to yourself,

2801
09:16:37.680 --> 09:16:44.199
and that's important for you to gauge what feels right

2802
09:16:44.559 --> 09:16:50.879
for you. So just tell your eyes to relax, whilst

2803
09:16:51.000 --> 09:16:55.000
focusing on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

2804
09:16:55.879 --> 09:17:03.839
your eyebrows, and just tell your eyes directly relax.

2805
09:17:05.720 --> 09:17:05.919
Now.

2806
09:17:32.680 --> 09:17:42.839
Now, I just did that myself, And sometimes you may

2807
09:17:42.959 --> 09:17:47.599
feel that you need a bit more time for the

2808
09:17:47.720 --> 09:17:51.400
different parts to relax, you know, because I start talking

2809
09:17:51.480 --> 09:17:56.760
again and maybe that part hasn't relaxed fully. But what

2810
09:17:56.839 --> 09:17:59.559
will happen is it will just continue to relax even

2811
09:17:59.599 --> 09:18:06.800
though I'm walking. And that's happened with my eyes. Something

2812
09:18:06.879 --> 09:18:11.680
else I noticed is when I started focusing on my eyes,

2813
09:18:11.959 --> 09:18:15.480
they actually almost became They got worse before they got

2814
09:18:15.559 --> 09:18:18.400
better in a way, so that I felt a degree

2815
09:18:18.480 --> 09:18:25.160
of tension growing in my eyes and then disappearing. So

2816
09:18:25.279 --> 09:18:27.959
I think what that was really was just me becoming

2817
09:18:28.120 --> 09:18:34.400
more aware of the tension that was already there that

2818
09:18:34.519 --> 09:18:39.080
I wasn't. I wasn't focused on it before, so I

2819
09:18:39.239 --> 09:18:57.879
wasn't really acknowledging it or really conscious to those feelings. Yeah,

2820
09:18:58.040 --> 09:19:01.440
my eyes is still continuing to relax, as well as

2821
09:19:01.519 --> 09:19:07.400
my hands. Actually, my hands have got a certain.

2822
09:19:07.239 --> 09:19:07.559
Kind of.

2823
09:19:10.440 --> 09:19:16.160
Energy, like not buzzing, but I can kind of feel

2824
09:19:16.199 --> 09:19:22.000
a degree of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where

2825
09:19:22.080 --> 09:19:26.519
the tension is being released. Maybe that's the cause in

2826
09:19:26.639 --> 09:19:36.080
that the next part, I think we should focus on

2827
09:19:36.199 --> 09:19:38.720
the back of the neck. That's the part was quite

2828
09:19:38.800 --> 09:19:43.559
often well for me, holds tension. I don't know about

2829
09:19:43.599 --> 09:19:47.919
it for yourself, but I think it's quite a standard

2830
09:19:48.000 --> 09:19:55.080
place where tension is sometimes held. So, and I'm doing

2831
09:19:55.360 --> 09:19:58.000
exactly what you're doing as you do it as well,

2832
09:19:58.120 --> 09:20:02.080
So I'm telling my body parts to relax as well.

2833
09:20:02.839 --> 09:20:05.160
So if you tell your neck the back of your neck,

2834
09:20:05.680 --> 09:20:07.879
focus on the back of your neck and just say

2835
09:20:10.760 --> 09:20:15.279
relax in your own words, in your own tone, in

2836
09:20:15.400 --> 09:20:18.199
your own voice. You can say out loud, or you

2837
09:20:18.279 --> 09:20:23.199
can just say it to yourself internally, but you're focusing

2838
09:20:23.599 --> 09:20:27.239
and you're saying it literally to the back of your

2839
09:20:27.319 --> 09:20:30.400
neck as if the back of your neck can actually

2840
09:20:30.639 --> 09:20:37.080
hear what you're saying. So do that now, just say

2841
09:20:37.919 --> 09:20:41.400
relax to the back of your neck and I'll do

2842
09:20:41.519 --> 09:21:23.160
the same. Now, what I noticed and you may have

2843
09:21:23.480 --> 09:21:28.319
had similar thing is, even though I was focusing on

2844
09:21:28.440 --> 09:21:39.440
the back of my neck, other parts started to, I

2845
09:21:39.480 --> 09:21:43.160
don't know, show themselves to me or maybe because they

2846
09:21:43.239 --> 09:21:46.639
want to be relaxed as well. But I started noticing

2847
09:21:46.760 --> 09:21:50.559
the feelings in my shoulders, tension in my shoulders, and

2848
09:21:50.680 --> 09:21:58.000
in my upper back. Whether that was because my back

2849
09:21:58.080 --> 09:22:01.639
of my neck was saying, well, I'm pretty much okay.

2850
09:22:03.279 --> 09:22:12.559
It's the other parts that need attention, but my low

2851
09:22:12.599 --> 09:22:16.519
of my back of my neck is still relaxing. But

2852
09:22:16.599 --> 09:22:23.599
I just became more aware of other parts that needed attention. Now,

2853
09:22:23.680 --> 09:22:28.599
this might happen and it's not. It doesn't mean that

2854
09:22:28.680 --> 09:22:33.199
it's going wrong. It just means you're being notified of

2855
09:22:34.199 --> 09:22:41.959
more places that also want to feel relaxed. So I'm

2856
09:22:42.040 --> 09:22:46.199
going to focus on my upper back. So you can

2857
09:22:46.279 --> 09:22:52.080
do the same. Even if you don't have any feelings

2858
09:22:52.160 --> 09:22:57.080
of tension that are obvious in your upper back, you

2859
09:22:57.239 --> 09:23:02.239
just focus on your back and the whole area from

2860
09:23:02.279 --> 09:23:04.199
the shoulder blades down.

2861
09:23:05.760 --> 09:23:07.400
To the middle of your back that.

2862
09:23:07.559 --> 09:23:11.800
Your spine, and with me, it's more the shoulder blades

2863
09:23:11.919 --> 09:23:12.599
the more.

2864
09:23:17.319 --> 09:23:19.160
Yeah, that's the parts that really.

2865
09:23:21.080 --> 09:23:27.879
Sort of given me the not that it needs relaxing.

2866
09:23:27.959 --> 09:23:31.639
The sounds gonna ask that hard to relax and you

2867
09:23:31.720 --> 09:23:57.519
can do the same. Now relax up the back. There's

2868
09:23:57.559 --> 09:24:02.720
something strange happened there, and then often happens. I've been

2869
09:24:02.800 --> 09:24:11.360
doing this for sixteen years or something, and often I'm

2870
09:24:11.440 --> 09:24:18.239
surprised but amazed really that there can be a feeling.

2871
09:24:19.680 --> 09:24:22.519
So when I was focusing on the back of my neck,

2872
09:24:23.400 --> 09:24:27.519
my upper back was starting to feel quite stressed and

2873
09:24:28.279 --> 09:24:33.839
in need of attention. As soon as I started talking

2874
09:24:34.000 --> 09:24:38.879
to you about my upper back and talking about, you know,

2875
09:24:39.400 --> 09:24:44.279
getting ready to ask the upper back to relax, my

2876
09:24:44.319 --> 09:24:50.120
opa back already started to relax. It's almost as if

2877
09:24:50.160 --> 09:24:55.800
it doesn't need to hear the words, just needs attention,

2878
09:25:00.559 --> 09:25:11.879
just needs to be noticed. And that is something that

2879
09:25:12.199 --> 09:25:19.160
often happens in this type of situation, is when you

2880
09:25:19.440 --> 09:25:24.599
start to relax a couple of parts of your body,

2881
09:25:25.680 --> 09:25:31.080
as we've done with our hands, our eyes and eyelids.

2882
09:25:32.239 --> 09:25:39.239
And now back of the neck, top of the back,

2883
09:25:41.199 --> 09:25:41.720
up a back.

2884
09:25:43.040 --> 09:25:47.000
The rest of the body seems to just take notice

2885
09:25:49.760 --> 09:25:58.040
and decide in its own way to start relaxing other

2886
09:25:58.160 --> 09:26:08.000
parts of your body out to just become looser. I

2887
09:26:08.120 --> 09:26:10.760
suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche.

2888
09:26:10.959 --> 09:26:15.720
You know, a little ball starts rolling and before you

2889
09:26:15.839 --> 09:26:18.800
know it, the whole of your body is completely relaxed

2890
09:26:18.879 --> 09:26:35.559
and can't And if you focus on your face, you

2891
09:26:35.680 --> 09:26:43.279
focus on your eyes, your eyelids, your eyebrows, and the

2892
09:26:43.400 --> 09:26:52.000
muscles around your eyes. Maybe you start to notice that

2893
09:26:53.760 --> 09:26:58.839
your forehead is more relaxed than it was. Maybe your

2894
09:26:58.919 --> 09:27:04.720
face is more relax I would say my entire face

2895
09:27:04.919 --> 09:27:19.480
is a lot more relaxed than it was. So we're

2896
09:27:19.519 --> 09:27:26.000
going to focus now on your shoulders again, just like before.

2897
09:27:27.400 --> 09:27:31.400
Just tell your shoulders and when you can do them individually.

2898
09:27:31.559 --> 09:27:35.239
You can do the right shoulder and left shoulder. I

2899
09:27:35.440 --> 09:27:39.440
just literally do both at the same time. And just

2900
09:27:39.599 --> 09:27:43.160
tell your shoulders as you focus on them in your mind,

2901
09:27:44.559 --> 09:27:49.480
focus on them and they feel maybe you can see

2902
09:27:49.559 --> 09:27:59.680
them in your mind's eye. Just tell your shoulders to

2903
09:27:59.800 --> 09:28:51.160
acts as nice as they were axe but didn't notice,

2904
09:28:53.839 --> 09:29:00.279
especially with my back. Is the connection between the different

2905
09:29:00.400 --> 09:29:11.480
parts the back, with shoulders the neck being all connected

2906
09:29:11.919 --> 09:29:18.360
and being such a large part of your body, it's

2907
09:29:18.360 --> 09:29:26.760
almost hard to separate them from each other. When my

2908
09:29:26.919 --> 09:29:35.760
lower back is starting to relax on its own, maybe

2909
09:29:35.839 --> 09:29:40.599
I'm going too slow and that could be an issue

2910
09:29:41.480 --> 09:29:48.279
because we all go at different speeds. And the idea

2911
09:29:48.360 --> 09:29:51.000
of the beginning of this recording was for you to

2912
09:29:51.080 --> 09:30:06.599
be able to just say to yourself, relax without focusing

2913
09:30:06.720 --> 09:30:12.360
on any particular part of your body. Because when you

2914
09:30:12.559 --> 09:30:23.400
know that telling your hands to relax and your hands relax,

2915
09:30:25.959 --> 09:30:32.639
you tell your eyelids and your eyes and muscles around

2916
09:30:32.760 --> 09:30:42.199
your eyes and your eyebrows to relax, and they relax.

2917
09:30:47.959 --> 09:31:00.559
You tell the back of your neck to relax and axes.

2918
09:31:08.480 --> 09:31:28.199
You tell your upper back to relax, and it relaxes.

2919
09:31:35.919 --> 09:31:37.919
You tell your shoulders.

2920
09:31:39.199 --> 09:31:51.360
To relax, and they relax.

2921
09:32:14.839 --> 09:32:18.919
When you told your hands to relax, they relaxed, and

2922
09:32:19.040 --> 09:32:32.199
they continued to relax. When you told your eyelids, the

2923
09:32:32.360 --> 09:32:39.839
muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows to relax, they relaxed

2924
09:32:43.360 --> 09:32:54.400
and continued to relax. When you told the back of

2925
09:32:54.480 --> 09:32:59.879
your neck focused on the back of your neck hm

2926
09:33:01.400 --> 09:33:13.319
and told it to relax, it relaxed. And continued to relax.

2927
09:33:21.480 --> 09:33:30.559
When you told your ulper back to relax, be relaxed

2928
09:33:31.199 --> 09:33:47.559
and continued to relax. That's with your shoulders. You told

2929
09:33:47.559 --> 09:33:55.879
your shoulders to relax, in your shoulders relaxed and continued

2930
09:34:01.000 --> 09:34:01.680
to relax.

2931
09:34:07.400 --> 09:34:12.319
And it's not just that, it's.

2932
09:34:15.040 --> 09:34:19.440
That the rest of your body has also been listening,

2933
09:34:21.120 --> 09:34:27.239
and their relaxation has been spreading. So from your eyes,

2934
09:34:27.559 --> 09:34:34.959
the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face, into

2935
09:34:35.040 --> 09:34:48.919
your skin, into your jaw, into the fronts and sides

2936
09:34:49.000 --> 09:34:53.760
of your neck, all way down your chest and stomach.

2937
09:35:00.440 --> 09:35:03.440
Your relaxed hands and shoulders.

2938
09:35:04.839 --> 09:35:07.879
Meet up through your arms.

2939
09:35:08.279 --> 09:35:20.160
Relaxing your forearms, your upper arms, elbows, your wrists, let

2940
09:35:20.319 --> 09:35:36.879
you go your lower back, your hips, buttons growing or

2941
09:35:37.120 --> 09:35:46.160
just start to relax continue even more, comfort spreading through

2942
09:35:46.199 --> 09:36:00.519
your legs all the way down to your ankles, tops

2943
09:36:00.599 --> 09:36:06.040
of your feet, the sight of your feet, and the

2944
09:36:06.160 --> 09:36:21.319
bottoms of your feet, relaxing into your toes, each toe

2945
09:36:21.680 --> 09:36:46.519
relaxing calms. And as your body relaxes more, your mind

2946
09:36:48.199 --> 09:37:12.599
becomes slower hm peace, to the point where if you

2947
09:37:13.800 --> 09:37:30.599
choose to fall asleep, you can easy do that easy

2948
09:37:31.879 --> 09:37:40.760
drift the way because there's nothing going on in your mind.

2949
09:37:44.440 --> 09:38:25.080
Your brain is peaceful, your body continues to relax. And

2950
09:38:25.279 --> 09:38:32.480

09:38:32.639 --> 09:38:34.879

09:38:36.800 --> 09:38:46.879
Relax means that you don't need to.

2953
09:38:47.000 --> 09:38:52.400
Focus on just one part. You can just focus on

2954
