00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:10.480
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason Newland,

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:17.760
and please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

3
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:31.559
Close your eyes. Yeah, oh and what else? So this

4
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:42.000
is trivia Tuesday? Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes it is, yes,

5
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:42.920
it is.

6
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:44.560
So.

7
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:51.479
Basically what I do on Trivia Tuesday is I think

8
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:59.880
of a subject and then I ask chat GPT.

9
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.000
To do the research for me and come up with

10
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.840
or ask for one hundred okay, or for I think

11
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:19.599
twenty to thirty facts about a subject. And today I'm

12
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.079
going to talk about hypnosis. I mean, I could probably

13
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.079
do quite a few facts off the top of my head,

14
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.879
but they might be wrong. The ones I give you

15
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.239
may also be wrong, so I'm not you know, I

16
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:36.719
take no responsibility for.

17
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:44.400
Anything that is incorrect. However, I thought it would make

18
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.480
it a mildly interesting, boring recording.

19
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:58.400
Yes, the thing is, I'm using the chat GPT Advanced

20
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:04.120
Reasoning and it's taken a wow.

21
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:06.159
If probably would have.

22
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:07.879
Done it by now if I just used a normal

23
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.879
chat GBT four. But I wanted to get I wanted

24
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.960
to go a little bit more in depth.

25
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.400
If you know what I mean, If you know what

26
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:24.919
I mean it. So today is Tuesday, the twenty seventh

27
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:32.120
of May twenty twenty five. Vinnie's in the background, trumping

28
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:37.719
on a bony thing. Been no windy today. You might

29
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.840
actually hear the wind in the background, because I do

30
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.319
have the window open. I was listening back to a

31
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.560
recording from yesterday, and I could hear the birds. We'll

32
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.439
just let you know how loud the birds are, because

33
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.319
the microphone doesn't generally pick up much in the way

34
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.000
of the birds singing. But it's that time of the

35
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:04.759
year when they're all out and having fun, which is good. Well,

36
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:06.479
I know they might be not having fun.

37
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.280
They might be rehearsing for an upcoming stage show, and

38
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.840
they might actually not be enjoying it at all.

39
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:14.560
Might have had enough. I just want to go to

40
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.240
the pub. I don't know. It's been raining as well.

41
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.879
But luckily, even though it's been raining on and off

42
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.879
all day, I've managed to miss the rain. So I've

43
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:31.080
took Vinnie out twice and I haven't I haven't got wet.

44
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.319
Had a little bit of a little few specs on

45
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:41.039
the specs, but other than that, no, that's been all right.

46
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:48.520
Did I actually start the day off by doing a

47
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:53.400
new recording, which I don't normally do. I don't normally

48
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.960
do a recording first three in the morning.

49
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:01.120
But for some reason I had the the little urge,

50
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.719
And what I did is I did and let Me

51
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:14.000
Boil Your Pain Away called Pleasant Memories, and it was

52
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:21.000
let Me Boil Your Pain Away number thirty five. So yeah,

53
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.680
I just did that for those that would like to

54
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:29.879
watch it or listen to it. Rather yesterday I did

55
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.160
two recordings as well. Yeah I did. I did a

56
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:40.319
body scan and I also did Monday's Boiling Objects dog Walking,

57
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:49.600
So yeah, today's going to be two recordings. Also, it's

58
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.120
six thirty seven PM, so I don't know if I'm

59
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.319
gonna have a chance to upload or edit and upload this.

60
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.439
I might do because I don't.

61
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:07.800
I don't really watch much TV in the evening, not really,

62
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:08.439
I don't, you know.

63
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:15.439
I'm not really that routine that I used to have.

64
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.560
I want to talk about TV now, so we talk

65
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.160
about TV instead of hypnosis.

66
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.240
Hypnosis is boring. Let's talk about televisions. Oh no, it's

67
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.759
it's done. All this work. It seemed a shame not

68
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:27.879
to go along with it.

69
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.399
Televisions I've had, In fact, that could be a future

70
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:35.800
boring objects recording.

71
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.959
I can hear people no talk about the television. It

72
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:47.399
doesn't want to listen about hypnoisish stop not allowed. No,

73
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:57.360
So yeah I did that. Yeah.

74
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.720
I don't have my whole not my whole life. But

75
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.160
you know, when I was younger, most things happened back then.

76
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:15.040
When I was younger, I I had like an evening protocol. Yeah,

77
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.879
I'd get home from work depending on what time I

78
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.240
got home from work, depending on what I watched on TV.

79
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.399
But my whole evening would be based around watching TV.

80
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.120
So if I got home at.

81
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:35.360
Six o'clock, I would possibly watch the News, maybe i'd watch.

82
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.560
Home and Away. If I got home at five point thirty,

83
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:45.160
I'd watch The Neighbors, then Home and Away, and then

84
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.560
maybe Hollyoaks. I think it's in my memory that was

85
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.920
kind of the order of the different programs, and then

86
00:06:53.000 --> 00:07:00.519
perhaps i'd watch Sometimes I would watch the four.

87
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.600
News at seven, and then it's seven point thirty, I'd

88
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:09.560
watch the EastEnders, and then depending on what time of

89
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.959
the of my life it was, it was a period

90
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:18.519
and I'd watched the Bill at eight o'clock, and there

91
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.839
was a period of time when I'd watch Family guy

92
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.639
at nine o'clock every night, So that happened for a

93
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:25.399
few years.

94
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:36.600
That's when I moved here. But for some reason, I

95
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.319
just haven't.

96
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:38.279
I just.

97
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:41.879
You know, I mean, if I do like to check

98
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.279
the news just to see what's going on, generally I

99
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.839
don't get like hugely involved.

100
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:51.639
Just to see what's going on.

101
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:58.480
And I like, you know, if let's say I'm meeting

102
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.839
mid dinner, I'd stick the TV on and I'll look

103
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.560
through the channels to see if there's any old shows on,

104
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:06.920
like what.

105
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.800
Happened to The Likely Lads or the Kenny Everige Show,

106
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.800
or something from like the.

107
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:21.439
Seventies and eighties, just a bit of light relief. And

108
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:26.199
if there's nothing on, I'll probably go to YouTube and

109
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.040
just have a look at some of the channels I

110
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.519
watch on YouTube, just to see what's going on there.

111
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.559
I mean, sometimes I'll actually just go on YouTube to

112
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:42.000
get the news anyway. It all depends really. According to

113
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:50.559
my website, I've got six thousand episodes, six thousand recordings

114
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:57.159
that you can listen to, although I'd pretty sure that

115
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:00.679
probably includes the ten hour ones and the five that ones,

116
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:04.440
you know, so, but six thousand it's quite a lot

117
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:10.279
isn't it. I'm just going to have a quick look.

118
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:19.080
What's the statistics? MS. All right, it's been a quiet day.

119
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.399
I worked a little bit on the back end doing

120
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.039
some of the se O, which is a search engine

121
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:37.919
optimization stuff, you know, getting some stuff transcribed and all

122
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:39.159
that stuff.

123
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:51.120
But it's yeah, it's all right, it's okay. Spose spose. Nope,

124
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:57.639
that's not on the council that reset cancel. I wonder

125
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:06.879
if the the subscription transcription page.

126
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.279
That's weird. Sorry, I'm just talking out loud. There's a

127
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.399
new video software cards.

128
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:22.879
What's it called PO three LEO THREELEO three LEO three

129
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:27.639
CO three to three stuff like that, and it can

130
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:32.080
make really amazing quality videos, short videos, but really good

131
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:37.840
quality in a very short period of time. Something that

132
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.879
would have took hours and hours a couple of years

133
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.639
ago just to wait for it to come through and

134
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:48.799
it still wouldn't be that good quality is now available

135
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:55.000
in seconds, which means based on that, probably in a

136
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.080
couple of years, probably be able to put a movie

137
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:03.679
together just by putting in a correct prompt and have

138
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.159
been like an hour to probably have a whole movie,

139
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.480
which is I mean, it might be involved putting in

140
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:15.919
the whole script, you know. But it's quite amazing because

141
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:19.159
I do sometimes think after I've watched a movie, I

142
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:24.799
sometimes think to myself, I need a wee wi. But

143
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.600
that's not really relevant talking about it. I sometimes think

144
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:31.240
to myself, I would have preferred for it to be different.

145
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.200
I would have kept that character in, maybe got rid

146
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.039
of the other character, maybe had them do something different.

147
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:43.840
And almost like I could have made that movie a

148
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.600
bit better for me, not for the overall audience, but

149
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:53.320
I might have enjoyed it more if something else had happened.

150
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.480
But then, I'm not a director. I'm not a movie director.

151
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:05.120
And sometimes I see these movies and I think, well,

152
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.559
they get bad ratings. But sometimes and I'm just thinking,

153
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:16.000
but the actors and the producers and the directors and

154
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:22.559
the costume designers and the writers, you know, all the

155
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:27.480
people involved, sometimes thousands of people, but at least quite

156
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:31.919
a few people involved in making putting a movie together.

157
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:40.200
I think it's good or think it's worthwhile. So on

158
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.440
that basis, I sometimes think to myself, well, it's worth

159
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.399
giving it a go to walk to watch it, because

160
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.840
a lot of efforts been put in for this for

161
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:56.879
it just to be dismissed. Yeah, I've got someone phone

162
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:02.559
in me. Luckily my phone is on mute. Oh dear,

163
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.399
I don't know why I used to love talking on

164
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:12.000
the phone. I don't like it anymore. I don't not,

165
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:13.919
I don't like it all the time. Depends who is,

166
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.679
but I just can't. I don't answer the phone if

167
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.000
I'm doing a recording anyway, unless it's like an important vocal,

168
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.919
you know. I mean, if my if my dad wrong,

169
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:34.000
I'd answer it, or my brother. But outside of that,

170
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:42.320
I wouldn't. Generally, was I talking about something I can't remember?

171
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:52.000
So here we go, hypnosist. How many facts have I got?

172
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.000
How many trivia facts?

173
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.240
Oh?

174
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.600
Did give me a hundred? Okay? Cool? So I might

175
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:08.919
be able to expand on more on it from my

176
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.960
own knowledge, but maybe not. I might just give you

177
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:24.320
the fact. So hypnosis is a nineteenth century word. Scottish

178
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:32.480
surgeon James Braid coined hypnotism the word hypnotism in eighteen

179
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:40.000
forty one after watching Mesmerists and deciding the state resembled

180
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.159
sleep and.

181
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:50.840
Sleeping Greek is hypnos but was actually focused attention. So

182
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.200
resembles sleep but was actually focused attention. So he came

183
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.399
up with the word hypnotism.

184
00:14:59.279 --> 00:14:59.919
He tried.

185
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.639
He tried to change the word twice, apparently because it

186
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.559
didn't like the word hypnotism or hypnosis. Didn't like it,

187
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.600
even though he kind of created it or coined it,

188
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:14.799
made it popular, and he tried to change it, but

189
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:15.519
no one was eminent.

190
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:21.879
Nope, we like that word. We're going to keep it now. Mesmerists.

191
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.000
You may have heard of the word mesmerism. It was

192
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:34.639
it's named after France France Anton Mesmer, who treated patients

193
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:42.759
with animal magnetism. So in the late seventeen hundreds, what

194
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:49.200
he did is he passed magnets over people's bodies, sparking

195
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:57.600
Europe's first medical hypnosis craze and given English the term mesmerize.

196
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:09.799
So what happened to him is he became very famous

197
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:14.879
and was loved by the royal family. I think he

198
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.960
was French and he was loved by the French royal

199
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:25.440
family and some experts.

200
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.879
When you when you bear in mind doctors in the

201
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:40.080
late seventeen hundreds, the average person probably knows more about

202
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:47.559
the body potentially and science than doctors did back then,

203
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.799
just you know, because of the knowledge we've got, I mean,

204
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:58.600
they didn't. They were still blood letting people. It's like

205
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:03.080
that's what was still going on back then. And what

206
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:09.160
he did is he started this is something, Oh, I've

207
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.839
got a memory of something I read. How it worked

208
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:17.240
is he was doing the magnets and he put he

209
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.839
was blood letting someone, and he put the magnets over

210
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.039
where the blood was coming out, and the blood the

211
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:32.240
bleeding stopped, and he thought, oh, and then he started

212
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.680
doing that and he used sticks, and I think there

213
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.279
was he do lots of people at the same time,

214
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.000
so to have them all holding on to.

215
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:48.519
Big metal rods and stuff. So yeah, it's but he

216
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:56.240
was very popular, and then he was challenged like prove

217
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.160
it because he started talking about it was the animal

218
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:06.759
magnetism in the person, and the doctors or the surgeons

219
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.880
at the time didn't agree. So he invited them, I've

220
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.039
got one just find out for yourself, just you know,

221
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.599
do some research. I welcome you to do it.

222
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:29.680
And some notable people, including America's Benjamin Franklin, came along

223
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.880
and they pretty much poo pooed what he was doing,

224
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:41.799
and they said it was just suggestion, which kind of

225
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:42.960
you know, is still.

226
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:49.039
Pretty much agreed. Is a suggestion as far as kind

227
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.160
of it is in a way.

228
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.960
And then Franz Anton Mesmer left the country, I do believe,

229
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:02.240
and just had his own had his own following elsewhere.

230
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:06.480
I think he also liked eating ice cream, but I'm

231
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:15.440
not sure about that. Abe Farrier imported Oriental hypnosis to Paris.

232
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:25.200
This is eighteen thirteen. The Indo Portuguese priest demonstrated trance

233
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:30.000
without magnets in eighteen thirteen, arguing that it was all

234
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.720
in the subject's mind.

235
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:42.319
Okay. And James Esdale, James Esdale was very famous in

236
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:47.920
the hypnosis world because and this is something I used

237
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:54.160
to have his book actually he performed is saying dozens,

238
00:19:54.880 --> 00:20:00.079
but hundreds is the actual. According to his book, he

239
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:09.640
performed one hundreds of surgeries in colonial India using only mesmerism,

240
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:20.079
which was like doing using hypnosis. So this is eighteen

241
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:25.000
forty five to eighteen fifty. It listed major operations including

242
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:28.519
all kinds of stuff, and it didn't have.

243
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:34.960
Any kind of pain relief at their disposal.

244
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:39.240
So he came back, he wrote a book about it, and.

245
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.319
He's yeah, he's down as being a really big especially

246
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.519
when it comes to that pain relief. A big person

247
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.039
in that no one had ever done that before, or

248
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:55.759
at least he was the first person to become famous

249
00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:04.160
for it. Jon Martin Charco, So I find this interesting

250
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:13.440
turned hypnosis into a part Parisian spectacle. He weakly demonstrated

251
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.640
at the Salpetriere. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that

252
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:21.359
right in eighteen eighties packed galleries with doctors, artists and

253
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:28.519
writers cementing hypnosis inside early neurology.

254
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:35.079
So he was big. I think he had a book

255
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.920
as well. I think I used to have that, and

256
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.119
so he was a What kind of surgeon was he?

257
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:43.799
I forget.

258
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:51.640
So the British, but that was in France. The British

259
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:58.359
Medical Association backed hypnosis in nineteen fifty five and it's

260
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:09.000
called trance, a genuine phenomenon useful for pain, neurosis and

261
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:15.599
obstetrics whatever. That is, recommending every medical student learned the basics,

262
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:18.799
which they didn't and they still don't as far as

263
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:29.359
I'm aware. And according to books I've read and information

264
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:34.640
from doctors and all that stuff. During the training to

265
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:39.599
become a doctor, they may get like one day of

266
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:46.680
focusing on chronic pain or focusing on pain. I don't

267
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:49.880
know how true, that is, it might have changed, But

268
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:57.079
you'd think considering most of medicine, most of the reasons

269
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:00.759
people go to doctors is because of pain.

270
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.720
You'd think that that would be something that would be

271
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:12.480
studied a bit more. But you know, I'm not a doctor,

272
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:16.599
so I don't know if it's true or not. The

273
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:22.359
British Medical Association, so why is it repeating itself? Oh no,

274
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:28.279
I'm repeating myself. The Americal The American Medical Association followed.

275
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:34.359
In nineteen fifty eight, the AMA Council Review labeled hypnosis

276
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:39.440
a legitimate therapeutic tool and urged more research. Now, I

277
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:42.359
think in America you have to be part of an

278
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:46.559
organization in order to have a license in order to

279
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:56.000
practice hypnosis and hypnotherapy. In the UK you don't. It's

280
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:02.400
not controlled in the UK, and stage shows in Britain

281
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.200
do require a license under the Hypnotism Act of nineteen

282
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:12.200
fifty two. So the law arose after sensational stunts raised

283
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:17.880
safety worries, and local councils still enforce it today. But

284
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:24.039
you can practice as a hypnotherapist, but you can't do

285
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:31.400
a live hypnosis Act without getting a license to do it,

286
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:33.240
so you have to get permission.

287
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.440
I think they're a little bit more open to it

288
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.880
these days, but for a while it's quite difficult.

289
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.319
So let's have a look. Milton Ericson.

290
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:54.000
My mate, Milton Ericson revolutionized indirect hypnosis. So he was

291
00:24:54.000 --> 00:25:01.400
from Arizona. He wasn't from Arizona, but he lived in Arizona. Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona,

292
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:07.839
but he ended up living there. So the Arizona psychiatrist

293
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:17.319
used storytelling, metaphas, and permissive language techniques now copied in therapy, coaching,

294
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:18.240
and advertising.

295
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:22.160
A huge, huge.

296
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.480
Had a huge effect on hypnosis and the way it

297
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:29.759
was taught and the way.

298
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:34.240
It was used. I've got probably about ten fifteen books

299
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:41.400
on the man, some written by him, some written about him.

300
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.519
The weird thing about with Milton Erickson is that I'm

301
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:46.279
just going to add my own little bit of information

302
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:49.160
I know about. He had polio as a child. He

303
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.079
had again when he was in his fifties, I think,

304
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:55.720
so he ended up in a wheelchair. But when he

305
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:58.200
was a child he had it and he was bedridden,

306
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:05.640
couldn't walk, couldn't do anything, and he couldn't talk or anything.

307
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.680
He completely was pretty much wasn't able to do very

308
00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:11.039
much for quite a while.

309
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:19.240
And he gained very good He found he studied the

310
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.480
ways people were because he had a big family. He

311
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:25.599
studied the way that people in his family were interacting

312
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:28.920
and communicating, and how often they'd say one thing that

313
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:32.880
would mean another thing, you know that, or how some

314
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:35.960
of his brothers and sisters would lie or you know,

315
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:40.880
and he studied that and he realized that the unconscious

316
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:47.759
communication is often different from the verbal communication. You know,

317
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:49.599
there's incongruments.

318
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:54.200
And he also found ways to get people to do

319
00:26:54.240 --> 00:27:00.799
things for him without talking. And he noticed also how

320
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:05.279
people matched each other, like rapport.

321
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:07.319
When you know, when people getting on really well, and

322
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.839
maybe they moved their right hand, the other person maybe

323
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.480
moved moved their right hand. And when one was nodding yes,

324
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:17.559
the other one might be noding yes. And whenever one

325
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:20.640
one started tap dancing, the other one started tap dancing.

326
00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:23.279
You know, things like that one fired the other one fired.

327
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.559
That was his parents. But you know, he just noticed

328
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.960
those things and then he became a doctor. He actually

329
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:35.079
what happened is he he recovered.

330
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:41.480
And then he he became a doctor, and he became

331
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.599
and he had but he had pain all his life

332
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.680
due to the podio. So he found a way to

333
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:55.640
deal with the pain using hypnosis. And then he you know,

334
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.720
he was a doctor, became a psychiatrist, started using hypnosis

335
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:06.400
with psychiatric patients before he was even allowed to you know,

336
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:09.119
that was before it was even kind of accepted to

337
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:14.680
do that because it would probably be in the.

338
00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:15.000
I think he did stuff with.

339
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:24.720
He helped people with if I remember rightly, during the war,

340
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.279
they used to call it shell shock. Now it'd be

341
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:31.000
called PTSD, the shell shock.

342
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:31.680
Then it was.

343
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:36.920
There was another name for it, and now it's PTSD.

344
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:41.519
And he used to help people with that, soldiers and

345
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:43.680
you know, the army, Navy, et cetera.

346
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:49.720
With that. I'm partly making up some of this, I

347
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:51.559
think it's true.

348
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.839
And then he went on to be he became a

349
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:01.720
teacher and he became very famous. He had very bad

350
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:05.400
I think asthma, so he needed to move to the

351
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:09.599
desert because of the air. The air was better for him,

352
00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:13.759
and he was in a wheelchair for the last probably

353
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.880
thirty years twenty five years of his life. Always used

354
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:27.559
to wear purple, that was his favorite color, and constantly smiling.

355
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:34.039
You know, he's there's actually a local neighbor who. I

356
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:36.720
think he walks his dog, probably because I don't talk

357
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:41.799
to people unless they have dogs with them. Generally, it

358
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:44.519
looks like Milton Erickson. I said to him, you know,

359
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:50.039
you look at some really famous He said, what George Clooney.

360
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:54.079
I said no, and he walked off. But if he

361
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:55.319
had stayed, I'd have said.

362
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.839
No Milton Erickson, who he wouldn't have known who Milton

363
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.920
Erickson was. Probably he might done. I'm not the only

364
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.519
person in the entire world that knows who Milton Erickson is.

365
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:07.920
Now you know who he is, if he didn't already

366
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:13.319
he is. He's kind of like the Bruce Lee of

367
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:18.039
martial arts, the Bruce Lee or the Bruce Lee of

368
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:20.200
hypnosis if you want to go So, if you go

369
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:22.839
to martial arts, no matter what martial light you're in,

370
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:25.759
Bruce Lee is kind of at the top. Even though

371
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:31.319
he didn't do necessarily jiu jitsu and he wasn't judo,

372
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:35.039
you know, but you get into martial arts, Bruce Lee,

373
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:39.920
He's watch Bruce Lee movies. It's the standard thing. At

374
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:41.559
least it used to be. I don't know if it's

375
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.599
that case anymore. If you get into boxing, Muhammad Ahli.

376
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:49.559
Is kind of there. He's the top.

377
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:53.519
There's no one above Muhammad Ahi in the boxing world history,

378
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:57.200
regardless of whether he was the best or not. He's

379
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:01.000
the most famous boxer that's pretty much ever been.

380
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:08.559
And with hypnosis, Milton Ericson or.

381
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:14.359
Milton hate Erickson is the most famous in hypnosis. In

382
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.799
the same way, you could say from a psychology perspective,

383
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:29.119
Sigmund Freud was the most famous psychologist or psychiatrist still

384
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:32.640
even though he's been gone for he passed away in

385
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:38.119
nineteen thirty nine, he's still you know, he's still the

386
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:44.400
most famous and runners up would be probably young. And

387
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:49.119
then you go to counseling, the most famous counselor Carl Rodgers.

388
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.559
I mean, he almost invented counseling. So yeah, it's just

389
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.960
so that's where Milton Erickson is. On my personal opinion.

390
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:01.920
Other people may.

391
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:07.880
Think, yeah, yeah, I like somebody else. Alec Roger is

392
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.039
around the corner. He's much better than Milton, and it

393
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:18.119
might be better than now and he but yeah, he's he

394
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:24.240
was an absolute phenomena. I've got audios of him, and

395
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:28.440
I've got yeah, his videos of him on YouTube. Unfortunately

396
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:36.039
they're very old videos and they're very not good quality. Also,

397
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:40.240
because he'd had the when he'd had the polio thing,

398
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:44.680
and he was getting older, he couldn't speak particularly clearly

399
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:49.920
in a way that he used to, so it's not

400
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:54.240
always Perhaps it wouldn't be easy for to hear what

401
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:58.079
he's saying, and I think it's easier if he was

402
00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:59.720
in the room with him, But on a video it

403
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:09.599
does come across very well. So neurolinguistic program in NLP,

404
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:16.559
which I did study in piggybacked on Ericsson's work. So

405
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:21.240
co founder Richard Bandler taught rapid inductions that borrowed heavily

406
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:28.000
from Ericsonian's pacing and language patterns. Yes yes, yes, yes,

407
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:32.559
yes true and YEH can't argue on that one. There's

408
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:37.559
no secret to that. So it wasn't just I mean NLP.

409
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:46.640
They studied Fritz Pearls, they studied Milton Erickson, they studied

410
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:56.799
who else did they study the family therapists I forget

411
00:33:56.799 --> 00:34:02.839
her name, Richard Loveder family therapist lady, And so they

412
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.240
studied lots of different people, but neuro linguistic programming was

413
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:13.159
very much and they also studied language as well. So yeah,

414
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:21.880
so much of NLP is hypnosis, and if you look

415
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.239
at some of the old books which I've got, I've

416
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:25.639
got some and I've had lots.

417
00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:31.519
I'd like to get my library back, my hypnosis library back,

418
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.639
because what I find amazing is you look back and

419
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:39.800
you say, well, it looks like it's new, Like this

420
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:43.760
is an NLP. It's only been around since the late seventies.

421
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:45.960
I mean, it's a long time now, I suppose. But

422
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:49.119
if you go back, that stuff was talked about in

423
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:54.119
the nineteen twenties, of nineteen thirties and forties in hypnosis books,

424
00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:00.519
the idea of imagining.

425
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:05.840
Something like on a screen and changing it, rewinding it

426
00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:08.480
and taking the color out, and things like that to

427
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:14.440
change a memory or change your reaction to a memory.

428
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:19.679
If this sounds like a lecture, sorry, it's trivia, baby,

429
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:26.920
It's trivia. So it's weird because I kind of realized

430
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:36.599
that I'm still interested in hypnosis. However, I don't want

431
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:36.960
to do.

432
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:43.519
Hypnosis in the traditional way. I want to I want

433
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:44.760
to do my own thing.

434
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:51.760
Hence the let me boil your pain away. I don't.

435
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:56.440
I don't want to have that restriction that I felt

436
00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:03.800
with hypnosis and having it structured in that way. I

437
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:10.360
quite like the freedom of going in and out of

438
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:15.719
focusing on a subject and then talking about flip flops

439
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:19.880
if I want to, or talking about all that's made

440
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.639
me feel hungry, that us talking about that and just

441
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:28.760
still being myself, but also having that focus.

442
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:36.800
And the suggestions. I don't think we need people need

443
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:43.920
to have super super strong suggestions. In a sense of

444
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:48.760
what Milton Erickson said is.

445
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.960
You try and get the client or the patient to

446
00:36:54.119 --> 00:37:00.000
wrap their mind around an idea, wrap your mind around

447
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.440
an idea, and once that idea, especially if you go

448
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:07.159
from lots of different angles, which I tend.

449
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:14.679
To do it it sticks, something will stick, something will change,

450
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:23.039
and we're constantly changing, and you remember certain things. There

451
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:25.519
might be something in this recording that you might remember

452
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:29.800
which might actually be useful, even though it's just me

453
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:37.320
talking about stuff that you might not find particularly invigorating

454
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:40.320
or interesting, which in a sense you shouldn't be anyway,

455
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:43.559
because it is a boring recording, you know, let me

456
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:49.320
boil you or a sleep, But at the same time

457
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:54.079
it might be useful other than to just send you

458
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:56.880
off to no Land, notdy Land.

459
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.360
So this is thing that you might have heard of before.

460
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:09.920
Emily Cool's nineteen twenties, mantra became a self hypnosis staple.

461
00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:15.639
And I remember hearing this in Pink Panther movie and

462
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:23.880
it was the Inspector Cluso's boss who just has had

463
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:27.920
enough of Inspector Cluso. But I think it's the second

464
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:31.159
movie and he's back doing this job and he's trying

465
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:34.239
to keep calm, and I think he's looking in the

466
00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:37.480
mirror and just repeating every day, in every way, I'm

467
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:38.800
getting better and better.

468
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:42.280
That's the first time I ever heard that.

469
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:46.280
So when I actually read those words and I think

470
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.559
I've got Emily Ko's.

471
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:55.199
Books, it made me laugh because I thought, Okay, it

472
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.360
was hard to take it seriously because it was used

473
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:01.320
in the comedy movie, so it was a it's basically

474
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:05.519
auto suggestion, and he was the first person to kind

475
00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:14.159
of really have done that. Charles Dickens moonlighted as a mesmerist. Ooh,

476
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:16.880
I didn't know this, so this might first have I

477
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:21.920
heard of this. Novelists treated so the novelist Charles Dickins

478
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:28.039
treated friends headaches with hypnosis and once hypnotized his wife

479
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:34.960
during a US lecture Taur in eighteen forty two. Wow,

480
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:39.000
I did not know that, but hey, the Master of Words,

481
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:44.800
I guess it would be wow. I really didn't know.

482
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:52.880
CIA Project mk Ultra experimented with hypnosis. So declassified files

483
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:56.639
show nineteen fifties efforts to.

484
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:59.519
Combine trance with drugs for interrogation and covert missions.

485
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:05.159
Yeah, it's quite well known. They tried lots of different things, LSD,

486
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.280
all kinds of things to try and get people to

487
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:14.719
do stuff. Hypnotic testimony is usually barred from US courts,

488
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:21.000
so since the nineteen eighties, most states exclude hypnotically refreshed

489
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:28.440
memories as unreliable. I believed it was all because of

490
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:33.639
the false memory issue. So I actually thought that it

491
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:42.000
was never admissible or acceptable in any court of any country,

492
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:49.400
to be fair, But maybe I'm wrong. The UK Hypnotic

493
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:55.280
World Record Day happened online, so British hypnotist Chris Hughes

494
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:59.960
drew over thirty thousand participants to a Facebook trance session

495
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:06.840
on World Hypnotism Day two thy eleven. I was going

496
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:07.480
to try and.

497
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:12.400
Do the biggest stop smoking Hypnosis Day in two thousand

498
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:16.760
and six, and I went to I did all the

499
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:23.440
advertising for it, okay, and I went to rent out.

500
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:29.519
The hall which was where bands would play big old

501
00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:36.400
place and they wanted thours and of pounds, so I

502
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:42.559
had to call the whole thing off. And a fastest

503
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:50.639
induction record claims a seven second handshake. Trance speed hypnotist

504
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:56.840
speed hypnosis specialist Jonathan Royle demonstrates the feet in a

505
00:41:57.119 --> 00:42:01.920
seminar videos. I did some aiming with Jonathan Miele in

506
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:14.320
nineteen ninety ninety five. I think next one is Chevrolet's

507
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:24.360
Chevrolets or chevels. Pendulum predates pocket watches. So chemist Michelle

508
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:32.559
Eugene Chevrol eighteen thirty three showed small unconscious muscle twitches

509
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:40.559
can swing a suspended weight. Still taught in hypnosis classes today.

510
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:43.599
So it's a little bit different for you know, when

511
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:50.360
people you know the old style, you know, she used

512
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:53.559
the word trope where you swing the watch in front

513
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:56.559
of someone's eyes and saying we'll focus.

514
00:42:56.199 --> 00:42:57.079
On the march.

515
00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:59.199
The march, ye know.

516
00:42:59.360 --> 00:42:59.800
Fee is.

517
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:08.880
All that stuff. This was different. This was basically asking

518
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:13.119
your you just speak directly to your unconscious mind. So

519
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.480
you had this thing like a chain with a little weight.

520
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:20.239
Perhaps you do it with a watch as well, on

521
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:25.480
a chain, and just sometimes you'd have like a piece

522
00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:31.440
of paper on the desk with yes and no a

523
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:34.239
little bit wee gee to be fair, but you know

524
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:39.639
you're not asking the spirits, asking yourself questions. Or you

525
00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:43.159
could just say, well, just switch from side to side

526
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:46.760
for yes and go round for no, and you can

527
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:55.639
ask yourself questions. And because it's you're not purposefully moving the.

528
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:02.679
You're not making any movements on your own, it's micro movements.

529
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:08.400
And the idea is you're asking yourself questions in a

530
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:12.199
sense because you might be wondering what kind of questions

531
00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:14.960
would you ask yourself? Where do I leave the keys?

532
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:16.159
No?

533
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:24.280
Well maybe, but it's more, is it okay, I want

534
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:26.519
to stop doing this particular behavior?

535
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:29.679
Are you?

536
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:32.920
Are you willing for me to stop this? So you

537
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:37.360
could ask your unconscious mind so that you can be congruent.

538
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:40.920
So your conscious mind, your unconscious mind, your whole.

539
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:43.320
Body, your mind, your thoughts, your brain, whatever, can all

540
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:49.159
be in sync with what you're wanting to do, and

541
00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:54.039
that can have a positive effect. There's other things that

542
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:57.519
we've done for it as well, but that's that's a

543
00:44:57.639 --> 00:44:59.119
whole recording on its own.

544
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:03.039
In fact, there's a whole book I've got Mind Body

545
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:06.760
connection or whatever, and it's a huge book, and it's

546
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:15.119
all about that, and you've got It's not just idiomotor responses,

547
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:19.119
they call it. This is like moving your hand, moving

548
00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:22.480
a finger. Let the finger move if it's a yes,

549
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:26.400
or it's a no, or you know, sometimes like raising

550
00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:30.679
your hand up. Just let your hand raise up on

551
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:33.599
its own, but let your unconscious mind raise it up

552
00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:38.159
from your knee, for example, But don't do it consciously.

553
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:43.199
Let your unconscious mind just let it and you talk

554
00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:44.719
to your unconscious mind, you know.

555
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:47.639
Let's say the other person. So just move in that

556
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:52.599
hand up now, bit by bit slowly, but don't do

557
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.719
it consciously, and the hand moves, and then you can

558
00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:57.960
do something like, well, what are you going to do

559
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:01.119
is move it up to your face slowly, and when

560
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:05.920
it touches your face you'll become completely relaxed. Or you're

561
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:07.920
gonna let it drop, and when it drops down to

562
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:12.079
your knee again, you'll feel amazing.

563
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:15.599
And you know, stuff like that. It can be used

564
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:20.719
for lots of different things. I fixation inductions at our

565
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:22.960
cinema classics for a reason.

566
00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:31.039
Staring at a fixed point exploits our natural optic fatigue,

567
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:38.519
and was popularized by a Victorian surgeons. Well, I can't

568
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:45.000
remember who it was with. There was a story. Was

569
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:54.000
it James Braid? There was I think it was a dentist.

570
00:46:54.039 --> 00:47:01.559
I forget who it was, but he left somebody. Yeah,

571
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:03.800
he said, I just got to go go next door

572
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:07.920
and left the person staring at the light and when

573
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:11.559
he came back in, the patient was gone, like completely

574
00:47:11.639 --> 00:47:17.880
zooked out. And then he kind of experimented with it

575
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:19.480
and got people to focus.

576
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:21.199
On a light or on a point on the wall

577
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:23.760
and stuff like that. And that's where that kind of

578
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:33.039
came from, Dear, dear, So that was the eye fixation.

579
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:40.840
It's it causes natural fatigue of your eyes. It's you know.

580
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:43.599
If you just like, okay, staring at a point on

581
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:48.679
the wall, your eyelids will start to get heavy and.

582
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:50.840
You'll need to blink. We all need to blink. It's

583
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:54.800
just natural, isn't it. But eventually the more you blink,

584
00:47:54.880 --> 00:48:01.119
the more you want to close your eyes. And I'm

585
00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:03.400
feeling that now actually, which you'll be getting away a

586
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:07.320
little bit because I can't see through my eyelids. I

587
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.719
can see the light through my eyelids. It's a different

588
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:11.199
level of.

589
00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:14.960
Light because the eyelids were in a way, but I

590
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:19.719
can't see the screen where all this juicy information is.

591
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:28.960
But it's definitely a way too. And the weird thing

592
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:32.599
about it is by saying to someone and as you

593
00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:37.199
stare at the wall, you'll notice your eyes are getting heavier. Now,

594
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:43.199
that's just going to happen naturally, But it may seem

595
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:49.000
like the hypnotist is almost creating that with their words,

596
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:53.440
but actually, what else is going to happen.

597
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:55.760
It's like saying someone, now I want you to run

598
00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:00.519
around the building ten times and a more. Every time

599
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:02.639
you run around, you're going to get more and more tired.

600
00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:05.119
Like it's going to happen anyway, isn't it.

601
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:16.880
But the Speegel eye roll test predicts trance depth in

602
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:21.719
five seconds rolling the eyes upwards while closing lids correctly

603
00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:27.960
classified hypnotizability in about seventy four percent of two thousand

604
00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:35.079
psychotherapy tests. Places. Now there's a thing where you say,

605
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:40.960
close your eyes and look up. Now, try and open

606
00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:45.239
your eyes. That it's actually impossible to open your eyes

607
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:49.159
when you're looking up with your eyeballs. So by saying

608
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:51.320
I'm going to ask you in a minute to try

609
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:53.960
and close your eyes while you're looking up so your

610
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:58.199
eyes closed. The longer they're closed, the more stuck they'll be.

611
00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:01.880
And you look up with your eyeballs inside your eyes.

612
00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:02.639
You're looking up.

613
00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:06.800
You've noticed that your eyelids are getting heavier and heavier,

614
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:08.960
and you're going to try and open them in a minute.

615
00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:11.239
But you notice that the more you try, the harder

616
00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:12.039
it is to open them.

617
00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:13.320
Blah blah, all that stuff.

618
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:18.679
But the fact is, if you're looking up, you can't

619
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:21.199
open your eye lids. Why you're looking up, it's actually

620
00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:25.079
physically impossible. Ohy, given the secrets to air.

621
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:32.079
Oh but part of that, I think it's worth remembering

622
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:36.239
if someone you know, it's it's not so much manipulation

623
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:40.280
a little bit, I suppose, But if someone comes to

624
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:48.599
a hypnotist or hypnotherapist wanting help with something, then there's

625
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:53.920
a degree of expectation that that person may ask them

626
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:57.840
to close their eyes and do kind of a test

627
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:02.880
to prove that hit nosis exists and they made the

628
00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:05.639
right decision by coming.

629
00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:11.679
To that person. Maybe so it can be useful. Group

630
00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:17.840
testing is possible. Harvard proved so nineteen sixty two. Harvard

631
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:22.559
group scale let research is rate dozens of volunteers all

632
00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:29.960
at once paving away for mass screening studies. I mean

633
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:32.239
group testing is done at.

634
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:38.920
The beginning of a live hypnosis show, like a stage

635
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:43.360
hypnosis show, where some of the things they do is

636
00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:46.559
to get peoples, for example, to put their hands together

637
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:52.320
and do certain things and tell the people you won't

638
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:54.480
be able to hold your hands will stay stuck together

639
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:59.199
and you won't be able to pull them apart, And

640
00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:02.679
so everyone end up and do that, and those that

641
00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:05.840
can pull their hands apart sit down, so the remaining

642
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:09.920
people standing up, they're getting to do something else until

643
00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:13.039
I done three or four, maybe five different things, and

644
00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:20.280
then you end up with perhaps I don't know, twenty

645
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:25.079
five people or twenty people left, or four maybe I

646
00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:29.480
don't know, thirty people left. So they get those thirty

647
00:52:29.519 --> 00:52:32.079
people on stage and they do even more stuff, and

648
00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:32.840
eventually they win.

649
00:52:33.079 --> 00:52:36.199
They whitdle it down. So there's fifteen people are very

650
00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:43.280
very not just suggestible but also suggestible suggestible, but also willing,

651
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:46.000
and they want to do it, and they want to

652
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:48.079
enjoy themselves and they want to be part of the show.

653
00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:52.039
They don't want someone going up there who's trying to

654
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:58.400
disprove it, that wants to cause problems. So that's why

655
00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:00.599
those shows are so much fun for.

656
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:04.480
The audience and for the participants as well. I guess

657
00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:09.880
I've never been to a show seen on TV. I

658
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.480
kind of know the routine of how.

659
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:17.440
It's done, but that was like twenty years ago. I

660
00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:20.119
learned that and I've read it in books, but actually

661
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:23.480
did a training course where they went through the whole,

662
00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:24.719
the whole thing.

663
00:53:26.360 --> 00:53:31.039
On how to you know, do the training trained on

664
00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:34.480
how to actually do the whole show, which was interested

665
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:42.000
so science and suggestibility a Stanford scale remains the gold

666
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:46.239
standard six decades on.

667
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:48.320
And.

668
00:53:50.239 --> 00:53:57.199
So recent tests have shown that basically the results they

669
00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:02.760
got six decades ago is still reliable. I did there

670
00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:08.440
was a book on this, and I didn't. I didn't

671
00:54:08.519 --> 00:54:14.719
like it very much. It was very Yeah, I don't know,

672
00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:20.360
I just it's kind of sometimes when they do tests

673
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:27.400
testing people for their suggestibility is always a dog bucking almost.

674
00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:30.800
It seems a little bit like when they show a

675
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:34.400
comedy show. They get do a comedy screening to people

676
00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:41.440
that don't seem to like humor or, you know, so this.

677
00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:49.079
Choose the audience a bit more wisely. Sometimes maybe genes

678
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:55.679
meta According to this a comt polymorphism tracks with hypnotizability.

679
00:54:56.119 --> 00:55:00.519
I didn't understand half of those words vary. Instead influence

680
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:06.719
dopamine in the prefuntal core cortex partly explains why some

681
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:08.599
people go deeper than others.

682
00:55:09.519 --> 00:55:15.199
Okay, so that's the science. THEATA brain weighs rise in trance.

683
00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:22.159
EEG studies link hypnosis to increase theater and cheabump altered

684
00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:28.519
gamma patterns tied to focus, attention and imagery.

685
00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:32.320
So ultimately, the stuff's going on in the brain, isn't it.

686
00:55:34.960 --> 00:55:38.199
That's what I take from that as my scientific opinion.

687
00:55:39.679 --> 00:55:47.320
That's my doctoral prognosis. Functional MRI pinpoints of dorsal anterior

688
00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:49.519
circulate singulate.

689
00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:53.760
Wow, there's a lot of very big words here during

690
00:55:53.840 --> 00:55:58.280
hypnotic analgesia or it's something I'm interested in, this pain

691
00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:03.119
process in how quiets while censury areas keep working. So

692
00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:13.320
basically the danger signals become safe signals, because that's all. Basically,

693
00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:23.639
pain is a danger signal, and when it's no longer experienced,

694
00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:29.000
that is danger. But as being safe, there's no problem.

695
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:33.559
There's the person will just be relaxed and not be bothered.

696
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:41.840
Hypnosis can restructure neural connectivity, so reviews show changes in

697
00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:50.199
default mode and salience networks, hinting at neuroplastic benefits beyond placebo. Now,

698
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:54.920
salience is a word that I haven't used before, so

699
00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:56.039
I'm going to look that up.

700
00:56:56.559 --> 00:56:58.719
I kind of know what it means, I think, but

701
00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:02.559
I'm going to look it up anyway, ask co pilots.

702
00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:09.880
Salient come On, explains the following text. In the context

703
00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:15.360
of hypnosis, salience refers to the brain's ability to prioritize

704
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:20.440
certain stimuli over others, determining what stands.

705
00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:25.480
Out in a given moment. The surrounding page content discusses

706
00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:31.599
how hypnosis interacts with the brain's salience network, which is

707
00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:38.519
responsible for filtering information and focusing attention. Research suggests that

708
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:44.679
hypnosis can restructure neural connectivity, influencing the default mode and

709
00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:53.119
salience networks. So yeah, I hope that made sense to someone.

710
00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:58.239
And I'm very interested in neuroplasticity because the idea, there

711
00:57:58.320 --> 00:57:59.840
was an idea, you know, years.

712
00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:02.039
And years go. I remember when I was growing up,

713
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:07.599
and you know, you're fixed. This is your brain, this

714
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:08.239
is what it is.

715
00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:13.360
And you know you can't teach old dogs new tricks

716
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:21.000
all those cliches when actually the brain isn't fixed, and

717
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:27.039
our brains are changing. The chemistry is changing. The newer

718
00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:31.079
networks are changing all the time. They change.

719
00:58:31.320 --> 00:58:35.079
Mine are changing now today while I'm doing this, I'm

720
00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:40.400
learning new things. And I realized this isn't I'm not

721
00:58:40.440 --> 00:58:42.840
doing this in order for me to learn new things,

722
00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:49.000
but I am anyway, and it's changing. So the newer

723
00:58:49.039 --> 00:58:56.239
plasticity is happening. And sometimes you can hear enough times

724
00:58:57.719 --> 00:59:06.920
you know the actually you can relax, and relaxing is easy,

725
00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:12.760
and falling asleep is easy, and turning that danger signal

726
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:19.639
to safe can happen or instantly, and sometimes just by

727
00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:26.079
hearing it enough times, you start to realize it's true,

728
00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:32.360
and you start to realize that actually relaxing is easy, and.

729
00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:39.440
You perhaps weren't aware before just how easily you can

730
00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:43.960
let go of everything and feel calm throughout your body

731
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:50.039
and your mind, and maybe even experience pleasure, physical pleasure

732
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:59.880
and emotional pleasure. So you know, it's interesting stuff now.

733
01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:06.480
Or placebo and hot hypnosis overlap but differ, so both

734
01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:09.079
modulate pain, both modulate pain.

735
01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:14.440
Yet f m RI F MRI, I don't know, I

736
01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:16.960
know what MRI is. I don't know what f mri

737
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:26.559
I shows. Placebo leans on limbic opiated Placebo leans on

738
01:00:26.679 --> 01:00:34.320
limbic opioid circuits, whereas hypnosis recruits occipital and basal ganglia pathways.

739
01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:39.760
I understand that I understood the word both in that

740
01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:46.280
sentence and where is recruits. That's a very big lot

741
01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:49.320
of words in that that sentence. That it was a

742
01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:49.920
big word.

743
01:00:50.840 --> 01:00:56.360
I can interpret it though, hmm, said Placebo. There was

744
01:00:56.400 --> 01:01:04.719
this study, it's a fame a study where this man was.

745
01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:07.760
It was in America and.

746
01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:14.280
He had a very serious condition which was you know,

747
01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:20.280
as serious as in yet and he saw on the TV,

748
01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:25.119
on the news that there was this new wonder drug

749
01:01:26.639 --> 01:01:33.400
that could be a cure for what he had, and

750
01:01:33.480 --> 01:01:37.480
he asked, he asked the doctors and said, can you

751
01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:41.239
just can you put me on this medication? You know

752
01:01:41.320 --> 01:01:43.960
that it just can you just test me, test me

753
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:44.320
with it?

754
01:01:44.679 --> 01:01:47.519
And they said, well, it's not really you know, we

755
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:49.719
do need you know, it's not ready for the public,

756
01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:53.199
but we do need people to do some research with.

757
01:01:53.719 --> 01:01:55.400
So they allowed him to do it because there was

758
01:01:55.559 --> 01:02:01.719
there's nothing to lose, really, and.

759
01:01:59.679 --> 01:02:02.159
And he happy to be. I don't want to say

760
01:02:02.199 --> 01:02:04.320
the word guinea pig. But you know, it was happy

761
01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:08.639
to be to be a test a part of the

762
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:14.840
test pilot thing. It wasn't a pilot. It wasn't a

763
01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:16.920
test pilot all. I don't know why I said that.

764
01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:21.800
Anyway, he might have been a test pilot, but he

765
01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:23.280
was at that point he wasn't.

766
01:02:23.320 --> 01:02:29.039
He was in hospital and he had this medication and

767
01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:36.199
it worked completely, cleared up all his ailments, cleared up everything,

768
01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:43.119
His body reversed, kind of went back to normal. You know,

769
01:02:43.280 --> 01:02:45.199
I don't want to go into details, but everything kind

770
01:02:45.199 --> 01:02:49.400
of went back to how it was, and it was

771
01:02:49.440 --> 01:02:53.840
a magic It was like a magic cure. He was

772
01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:55.360
still in hospital because.

773
01:02:55.119 --> 01:02:58.159
He was like you know, he was just hadn't treatments,

774
01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:01.559
ready to leave, and as he was ready to leave,

775
01:03:01.760 --> 01:03:06.199
he was like thanking the nurses on The news came like,

776
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:12.079
oh it doesn't work. After all, they've done the studies

777
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:16.599
and most of the people didn't have.

778
01:03:16.519 --> 01:03:19.400
Any any use.

779
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:27.239
He went home and he's back in hospital within a week.

780
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:34.360
So what he got from that medication, which wasn't actually

781
01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:39.360
of any good, it wasn't useful, It wasn't it didn't

782
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:42.039
do the trick, but it did have a placebo effect

783
01:03:42.119 --> 01:03:44.719
on him, But as soon as he realized it was

784
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:54.199
a placebo, he yeah, it no longer.

785
01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:58.719
Had that effect. But they've also the placebo this. It's

786
01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:03.519
amazing amount of people that get tested with medication and

787
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:07.280
the people with the policied that placebo I often have

788
01:04:07.519 --> 01:04:10.159
just as much benefits as the ones so they get

789
01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:12.719
a sugar pill instead of the actual real pill, they

790
01:04:12.760 --> 01:04:15.280
have just as much benefit as the person with the

791
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:22.719
real medication. Phenomenal belief is I mean, I talked about

792
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:26.480
recently when I was working in a chip shop and

793
01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:31.440
the I went to my boss's house. We had like

794
01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:36.400
this party and they gave me alcohol free beer. I

795
01:04:36.440 --> 01:04:38.559
didn't realize it was alcohol three They were given it

796
01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:42.119
to me in a glass and I was drunk, genuinely

797
01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:45.360
drunk until the end of the night when they all

798
01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:49.760
decided to laugh at me and tell me showed me

799
01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:52.519
all the cans that had been pouring in there. Everyone

800
01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:54.239
else had been on alcohol. I'd be the only one

801
01:04:54.239 --> 01:04:58.880
that was alcohol free. And I sobered up pretty quickly,

802
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:05.920
And that's something I always remember. I remembered up till

803
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:08.760
now because I'm talking about it and't I And I

804
01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:12.719
was what sixteen at the time, and it was something

805
01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:14.119
that I remember because it was.

806
01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:19.760
Apart from the fact that it was humiliating, it was

807
01:05:19.800 --> 01:05:26.480
also interesting from a psychological perspective because I really believed

808
01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:35.000
that I was drinking alcohol and I'd had probably four pints,

809
01:05:35.039 --> 01:05:37.920
five pints, which I knew.

810
01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:41.760
Would make me drunk. Back then, probably two or three

811
01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:47.960
pints would get me drunk. Yeah, and that stayed with me.

812
01:05:48.039 --> 01:05:52.480
That did. The rubber hand illusion gets stronger under trance,

813
01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:58.400
so highly hypnotizable volunteers reported greater ownership of a fake

814
01:05:58.559 --> 01:06:10.719
limb suggest in suggesting suggestion can hack body maps. I'm

815
01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:14.519
not sure what that means. Hardly am to report ownership

816
01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:19.360
of a fake limb. There is a way to actually,

817
01:06:20.199 --> 01:06:24.000
there's this it's probably not the same thing, but there's

818
01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:32.800
this technique where let's say someone's got a pain in

819
01:06:33.079 --> 01:06:38.360
one hand. So what they do is, let's say it's

820
01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:41.559
in the right hand and left hand's fine. So what

821
01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:45.719
do they get a mirror so you can see the

822
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:48.559
left hand in the mirror, So the mirrors opposite the

823
01:06:48.639 --> 01:06:56.239
left hand, and the person starts moving the hand, so

824
01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:01.280
and they would poke that someone else would like poke

825
01:07:01.360 --> 01:07:04.599
into the left hand with like not a needle, but

826
01:07:04.679 --> 01:07:07.400
like a little stick or something, and they realized that

827
01:07:07.519 --> 01:07:14.280
the hand's fine. There's no absolutely fine, and they do that.

828
01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:18.639
Not for some people also that had maybe a missing limb.

829
01:07:18.840 --> 01:07:25.840
It's an amputee, it maybe had you know, phantom still

830
01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:28.159
a terrible phrase, but they call it phantom limb pain

831
01:07:28.960 --> 01:07:36.199
and the pain of go because the brain had been

832
01:07:36.639 --> 01:07:38.719
I don't want to say tricked, but the brain had

833
01:07:38.760 --> 01:07:44.039
sort of seen things in a way that kind of

834
01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:48.719
made sense, you know. So yeah, that's that's something that

835
01:07:48.760 --> 01:07:51.199
could be done. But I don't think that's what they're

836
01:07:51.199 --> 01:07:54.079
talking about the rubber hand though. I suppose if someone's

837
01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:56.719
in a deep trance and you say, okay, this hand

838
01:07:56.840 --> 01:08:02.400
is your hand, and yeah, mess around with that. Catalepsy

839
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:07.360
isn't just a stage gag. So A twenty twenty four

840
01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:15.400
pilot cut functional neurological disorder symptoms after eight hypnosis catalypsy sessions.

841
01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:24.079
I don't know anything about this, so I'm going to

842
01:08:24.159 --> 01:08:30.199
look this up. This is the first I've heard of

843
01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:35.039
this anyone, anyone. This might be the longest recording I

844
01:08:35.079 --> 01:08:39.039
ever do, because I'm only at number twenty eight. So okay,

845
01:08:39.359 --> 01:08:42.960
A twenty twenty four pilot study explored the effects of

846
01:08:43.119 --> 01:08:48.800
hypnosis combined with catalepsy. So catalypsy is pretty much where

847
01:08:48.840 --> 01:08:51.199
you just kind of I mean, you can have someone

848
01:08:51.279 --> 01:08:56.039
cataleptic where the arm is just sticking out and it

849
01:08:56.079 --> 01:09:02.720
won't it won't budge, it just stays there. And if

850
01:09:02.800 --> 01:09:05.640
you remember, remember the Robert de Niro movie and Robin

851
01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:12.119
Williams Awake Awakening I think it was called, and Robert

852
01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:16.600
de Niro was in a cataleptic state where he just

853
01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:23.399
sat there and Robin Williams found a cure before he

854
01:09:23.520 --> 01:09:26.319
found a cure and he gave it to Robert de Niro,

855
01:09:26.479 --> 01:09:30.279
and thebe chucked the ball and Robert Denier had caught

856
01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:36.880
the ball. So a study used a waiting list control

857
01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:44.720
design with forty six patients diagnosed with FND functional neurological disorder.

858
01:09:45.239 --> 01:09:48.840
I don't know really much about that. Participants underwent eight

859
01:09:49.399 --> 01:09:56.119
hypnosis catalepsy sessions, which resulted in a significant reduction in

860
01:09:56.359 --> 01:10:02.520
the symptoms of severity. The study measured symptoms verity use

861
01:10:02.600 --> 01:10:12.520
in the psychogenetic movement disorder blah blah blah. Okay, so

862
01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:14.800
that's it, as there's there's more to that, but I

863
01:10:14.840 --> 01:10:16.600
just thought. I just looked that up because I'd never

864
01:10:16.600 --> 01:10:24.000
heard of that one before. Hypnosis can tweak immune cells

865
01:10:24.880 --> 01:10:29.600
so highly susceptible subjects show measurable shifts in B cell

866
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:37.960
and helper T counts after a single session. There is

867
01:10:38.359 --> 01:10:48.640
a technique for certain disorders where this is going back years.

868
01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:51.920
Where they would imagine like a pac Man, you know

869
01:10:52.000 --> 01:10:55.199
the old Atari Are they Atari? But they were like

870
01:10:55.279 --> 01:10:57.479
computer games pac Man.

871
01:10:57.640 --> 01:11:03.800
Eating the sets the bad cells or the cells that

872
01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:07.199
they didn't want in their body. And imagine the pack

873
01:11:07.319 --> 01:11:14.399
man going around and eating those and it helped with

874
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:18.720
recovery and helped with the treatment that was being given

875
01:11:19.199 --> 01:11:22.760
to some of those individuals. There's a lot more to

876
01:11:22.960 --> 01:11:26.239
that I've never read. I don't think I've ever read

877
01:11:26.239 --> 01:11:30.399
a book specifically on that subject, but it is fascinating.

878
01:11:32.479 --> 01:11:39.239
I think c O M c O M T isn't

879
01:11:39.359 --> 01:11:44.479
the only gene what.

880
01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:51.479
O O p r M one variates variants also linked

881
01:11:51.479 --> 01:11:57.119
to trance and pain. High hypnotizables often have an opioid

882
01:11:57.199 --> 01:12:05.279
receptor that blows drug analgesia hinting hypnosis using uses non

883
01:12:05.279 --> 01:12:11.520
opioid roots because that's the thing, isn't it, Like we

884
01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:18.520
take medication and that it's still the brain that's doing

885
01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:22.560
the work. It just activates those parts of the brain

886
01:12:22.880 --> 01:12:27.039
that then gives those feelings or causes that healing to

887
01:12:27.079 --> 01:12:30.479
take place or inflammation to reduce.

888
01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:34.439
And all that stuff. So it's not the actual.

889
01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:45.119
Hypnosis can trigger those same receptors, but through non drug routes,

890
01:12:46.279 --> 01:12:49.760
so manages to push those buttons, but without the same

891
01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:55.720
buttons that maybe I don't know painkillers would press, but

892
01:12:55.840 --> 01:13:01.840
without the painkillers, without the medication, so it's a different route,

893
01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:07.199
but can still press those buttons, which causes the danger

894
01:13:07.279 --> 01:13:12.840
signal to turn into a safe signal. High suggestibility correlates

895
01:13:12.880 --> 01:13:22.880
with vivid imagery and absorption, so psychometric studies place hypnotizability

896
01:13:23.720 --> 01:13:35.800
alongside flow, daydreaming, and creative immersion traits. So flow. There's

897
01:13:35.840 --> 01:13:41.079
a really famous book called called Flow. By doing my

898
01:13:41.720 --> 01:13:45.359
check for see, it's very, very long. I think it's

899
01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:48.680
a Russian name, very long name. I can't pronounce it.

900
01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:54.279
And it's all about being in the moment, being in

901
01:13:55.119 --> 01:13:57.439
I'd be like me now, I'm very into what I'm

902
01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:02.600
doing right now to the very focused on this and

903
01:14:02.680 --> 01:14:09.439
nothing else really, although I may be scratching my crotch

904
01:14:09.479 --> 01:14:11.079
at some point because there's a bit of a niche.

905
01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:15.279
I think the fleas a comeback. So you've got daydreams

906
01:14:15.319 --> 01:14:23.840
another one, and it's a hypnosis daydreaming. It's kind of

907
01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:31.640
the same ballpark in a sense of imagination, focusing on something.

908
01:14:32.479 --> 01:14:36.840
And you know, if we daydream on feeling good and

909
01:14:38.079 --> 01:14:43.840
daydream about how nice it is to just relax, and

910
01:14:44.479 --> 01:14:47.760
you know, daydream and remembering times when you were relaxed,

911
01:14:47.920 --> 01:14:55.399
just start to become more relaxed. Hypnosis taps top down attention,

912
01:14:55.920 --> 01:15:02.960
not sleep. So sure what that means. Modern non state

913
01:15:03.640 --> 01:15:08.680
theories view trance as an agreed role that sharpens focus

914
01:15:08.840 --> 01:15:18.520
rather than induces unconsciousness. But it also causes deep, deep relaxation,

915
01:15:19.439 --> 01:15:25.159
and deep deep relaxation can also lead to fallen asleep.

916
01:15:27.199 --> 01:15:30.960
So you know, there's there's quite a few people in

917
01:15:31.000 --> 01:15:35.199
the hypnosis world that would be very against the idea

918
01:15:35.319 --> 01:15:43.399
of hypnosis for sleep. But what hypnosis does. It causes

919
01:15:43.520 --> 01:15:47.840
you can have focus, but also causes can cause deep

920
01:15:47.920 --> 01:15:57.000
deep relaxation and falling asleep. Is ninety nine point nine

921
01:15:57.039 --> 01:16:03.560
point nine point nine point nine percent relaxation, feeling calm,

922
01:16:03.680 --> 01:16:07.239
letting go, how your body relax your mind slows down

923
01:16:08.359 --> 01:16:13.600
all that stuff. Maybe your mind wanders, that's part of relaxation,

924
01:16:14.800 --> 01:16:24.840
maybe daydreaming. So that's different from when you're focusing on

925
01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:31.199
something particular. You're not necessarily going to fall asleep during

926
01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:40.520
that situation. But when you're relaxed and you're feeling completely

927
01:16:40.760 --> 01:16:45.640
loose and floppy and all that stuff, then that's all

928
01:16:46.319 --> 01:16:47.960
really just leads to sleeping.

929
01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:54.199
So it's not really so much. And you know you

930
01:16:54.359 --> 01:16:57.600
will fall asleep. You must fall asleep. When I say this,

931
01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:01.760
you will fall asleep. That's not really really how well.

932
01:17:02.760 --> 01:17:06.319
I've never really operated in that way. It's about relaxing,

933
01:17:07.199 --> 01:17:14.760
and the more you relax, you just naturally if falling

934
01:17:14.800 --> 01:17:17.399
asleep is the right thing, and that's what will happen.

935
01:17:20.319 --> 01:17:21.239
And also.

936
01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:25.239
In the same way as if you wanted to keep

937
01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:32.159
awake by keeping your mind busy, that's.

938
01:17:31.159 --> 01:17:32.520
A way to keep awake, isn't it.

939
01:17:33.039 --> 01:17:36.479
So if our minds are busy and we want to

940
01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:43.800
go to sleep, we calm the mind down.

941
01:17:43.439 --> 01:17:46.520
And let go of stuff. Let go of things, and

942
01:17:49.079 --> 01:17:51.600
when you focus, so use your focus. But if you

943
01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:56.399
start focusing on the different parts of your body, your

944
01:17:56.520 --> 01:18:02.039
mind starts to get bored with that, which means your

945
01:18:02.079 --> 01:18:08.960
mind starts to slow down, and when you're focusing on

946
01:18:09.000 --> 01:18:11.199
your hands and then you're on your knees and on

947
01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:16.640
your hips and your shoulders and your eyes, or maybe

948
01:18:16.920 --> 01:18:23.159
you're focusing on my words for example, or some information

949
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:26.840
that you've got no interest in it in, like you know, hypnosis,

950
01:18:27.920 --> 01:18:31.640
even though it's something that for some reason I'm interested in,

951
01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:38.319
you may just find it completely boring and be of

952
01:18:38.640 --> 01:18:43.479
no relevance or interest to you whatsoever. I might as

953
01:18:43.520 --> 01:18:49.720
well be talking about my underpinning collection that I've been

954
01:18:49.760 --> 01:19:01.000
collected since I was five. Hypnosis amplifies memory and help

955
01:19:01.119 --> 01:19:09.680
to recall stuff, and so yeah, hypnotic depth and placebo

956
01:19:09.840 --> 01:19:18.960
responsiveness partially overlap. So some scientists brand the intersection hypnobob

957
01:19:19.159 --> 01:19:27.039
or hypnobo hypnobo, suggesting ethical hypnosis may harvest placebo like

958
01:19:27.159 --> 01:19:36.640
benefits without deception. And yes, I mean it has been

959
01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:42.720
said that hypnosis might literally just be placebo in a

960
01:19:42.800 --> 01:19:52.720
sense of belief. It's so powerful and when you believe that,

961
01:19:53.640 --> 01:19:58.239
and also it's not just belief, it's based on previous experience.

962
01:19:58.399 --> 01:20:02.560
So there's a people that have listened to me before

963
01:20:03.239 --> 01:20:06.319
who know that when you listen to me, at the

964
01:20:06.399 --> 01:20:10.239
very least, you're going to feel relaxed. You're going to

965
01:20:10.239 --> 01:20:13.760
feel calm, your mind will slow down, your body will relax,

966
01:20:14.760 --> 01:20:17.479
and you know, maybe do you fall asleep. When you

967
01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:25.680
listen to me, you feel better, You feel calmer, the

968
01:20:25.800 --> 01:20:32.279
stress is released, which means when you listen to me

969
01:20:32.319 --> 01:20:36.479
again tomorrow for do a different recording, you'll listen with

970
01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:46.640
that expectation, with that belief system built on previous experience

971
01:20:48.239 --> 01:20:57.920
of feeling relaxed, feeling calm, feeling peaceful, and maybe even

972
01:20:58.159 --> 01:21:03.560
experiencing the world in a nicer way and feeling more

973
01:21:03.600 --> 01:21:13.039
positive during the day as well, they're sleeping more easily.

974
01:21:17.079 --> 01:21:23.600
Elite athletes use trance for recovery. So hypnotic scripts speed

975
01:21:23.800 --> 01:21:30.359
muscle relaxation, improve imagery rehearsal, and cut perceived exertion and

976
01:21:30.479 --> 01:21:38.319
controlled trials. Improved imagery rehearsal is definitely something that's been

977
01:21:38.399 --> 01:21:41.520
used for years. I've got books on.

978
01:21:43.039 --> 01:21:49.720
Helping people with golf I think tennis, and they discovered

979
01:21:49.800 --> 01:21:53.359
so I say they, but it's been discovered that there

980
01:21:53.399 --> 01:21:58.960
were trials that they've got someone that actually practices, for example,

981
01:21:59.119 --> 01:22:04.399
hitting a golf ball, someone that practices physically, and someone

982
01:22:04.399 --> 01:22:07.920
that practices in their imagination, in their mind, and the

983
01:22:07.960 --> 01:22:10.840
person that practices in their mind can have just as

984
01:22:10.920 --> 01:22:15.319
much benefit as a person who practices physically and a

985
01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:18.760
person who doesn't practice at all. Against someone that practices

986
01:22:18.760 --> 01:22:20.479
in their mind.

987
01:22:21.560 --> 01:22:23.640
Is worse off than the one that practices in their mind,

988
01:22:24.760 --> 01:22:27.159
performs better than the one that doesn't practice at all,

989
01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:32.479
and doesn't practice in their mind either. So it's quite

990
01:22:33.520 --> 01:22:41.600
again down to belief, again, down to expectation. And someone

991
01:22:41.600 --> 01:22:46.800
would call that I suppose placebo. I don't know.

992
01:22:52.159 --> 01:22:58.119
Hypnosis, hypnotic suggestions can lower skin temperature, could also heat

993
01:22:58.159 --> 01:23:02.760
touch skin temperature. It can They've done, they've done research,

994
01:23:02.800 --> 01:23:08.920
they've done thermometers, And that's part of the bio is

995
01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:15.319
it biofeedback biofeedback thing where you can also reduce your

996
01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:21.239
pulse rate. You can reduce your temperature by imagining an

997
01:23:21.279 --> 01:23:25.840
ice cube resting on the back of your hand or

998
01:23:25.840 --> 01:23:29.600
on the palm of your hand will reduce the temperature

999
01:23:29.680 --> 01:23:33.399
of the palm of your hand. The more you focus,

1000
01:23:33.520 --> 01:23:44.000
the more you just imagine it's there, and you can imagine,

1001
01:23:44.359 --> 01:23:51.000
you can turn down the speed of your pulse or

1002
01:23:51.079 --> 01:23:54.600
even I think blood pressure. You know, there's all kinds

1003
01:23:54.600 --> 01:24:03.359
of things that they've tested on. Genetics, attention, style, and

1004
01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:09.720
expectation explain about half of hypnotic variability. The rest remains

1005
01:24:09.920 --> 01:24:17.920
a fertile mystery for cognitive neuroscience. Unstudy words individually.

1006
01:24:20.359 --> 01:24:28.760
Ah oh, yesterday, I helped this neighbor cut some weeds

1007
01:24:29.039 --> 01:24:32.399
from using one of those fly moods, and I seem

1008
01:24:32.439 --> 01:24:36.119
to have damaged my left bicep. It's weird.

1009
01:24:36.760 --> 01:24:39.720
It's strange because I do wait quite regularly, but I

1010
01:24:39.800 --> 01:24:43.600
must have used the arm in a different way.

1011
01:24:44.159 --> 01:24:59.159
It's weird. It's A twenty nineteen review of experimental pain

1012
01:24:59.239 --> 01:25:12.199
trials found hypnosis consistently outperformed no treatment controls okay, hypno

1013
01:25:12.239 --> 01:25:16.479
birth and eases labor. So this is it's not new,

1014
01:25:16.560 --> 01:25:21.720
but it's a relatively new thing. Hypno birth, in which

1015
01:25:21.800 --> 01:25:30.800
basically you go through you rehearse before the the birth,

1016
01:25:31.000 --> 01:25:36.640
you rehearse going through the whole thing, and generally people

1017
01:25:36.720 --> 01:25:40.680
seem to have a shorter the whole thing seems to

1018
01:25:40.680 --> 01:25:49.880
be shorter and needing less analgesia and also calmer parents.

1019
01:25:51.760 --> 01:25:57.359
You've also got other things like hypno what do they

1020
01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:02.920
call that? Weight loss?

1021
01:26:02.960 --> 01:26:08.520
Thing like hypnotic versions of those, so instead of actually

1022
01:26:08.560 --> 01:26:14.439
having the balloon put into your stomach, that actually they

1023
01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:19.119
hypnotize as hypnosis, where you kind of imagine going through

1024
01:26:19.520 --> 01:26:28.640
the process of having that done and then the you know,

1025
01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:31.560
I've got some books on that as well, going on

1026
01:26:31.600 --> 01:26:37.119
about how that would you know, reduce appetite for those

1027
01:26:37.199 --> 01:26:42.880
that needed to lose weight, and apparently it's very very

1028
01:26:43.279 --> 01:26:54.600
helpful and useful. So yeah, there's a lot more here,

1029
01:26:55.119 --> 01:26:59.560
but I think I've talked for way too much, man,

1030
01:27:04.720 --> 01:27:08.479
So I got through about forty I think nearly yeah,

1031
01:27:08.479 --> 01:27:12.359
about forty different ones out of one hundred that came up.

1032
01:27:12.520 --> 01:27:14.439
I'm just gonna have a quick look a there's anything

1033
01:27:15.319 --> 01:27:18.159
that's going to shoot out at me that might be

1034
01:27:18.560 --> 01:27:22.600
virtual gastric band, So that's the one I was thinking about.

1035
01:27:27.000 --> 01:27:32.159
Hypnosis melts, menopause or hot flushes even in men, and

1036
01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:41.880
ninety four percent reduction, Ah, ninety.

1037
01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:56.840
Four okay, So yeah, helps with phobias, helps with it's

1038
01:27:57.000 --> 01:28:16.000
so many things. Wow, wow, okay, something I won't be

1039
01:28:16.159 --> 01:28:27.000
just interesting, blimey. So yeah, there's a lot here, so much.

1040
01:28:29.079 --> 01:28:32.520
Guy, did hypnosis apps form a four hundred and eighty

1041
01:28:32.600 --> 01:28:37.479
one million market in twenty twenty four, projected to double

1042
01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:40.279
by twenty thirty one.

1043
01:28:40.920 --> 01:28:45.920
Where's my money? Well, I'm in the wrong game. Wait

1044
01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:58.560
a minute, guy did hypnosis apps. There's a lot of famous.

1045
01:28:58.119 --> 01:29:02.039
People also that have had hypnosis that would have been

1046
01:29:02.079 --> 01:29:09.399
probably more maybe more interesting for you to listen to

1047
01:29:10.000 --> 01:29:13.359
if I was maybe talking about well, I'll be interested

1048
01:29:13.439 --> 01:29:17.279
for me as well, talking about famous people that have

1049
01:29:17.439 --> 01:29:29.600
had hypnosis to help with various different things. Chicken hyps

1050
01:29:30.000 --> 01:29:33.399
is really tonic immobility, So draw a line from a

1051
01:29:33.479 --> 01:29:36.439
beak outwards and a bird may freeze for up to

1052
01:29:36.479 --> 01:29:40.079
thirty minutes, described in sixteen forty six.

1053
01:29:41.920 --> 01:29:49.159
So it's not it's not hypnosis, it's just something else.

1054
01:29:50.319 --> 01:29:52.920
Sharks can be flipped into a trans like state too.

1055
01:29:54.119 --> 01:30:01.000
Orcas exploit tonic immobility by inverting great whites. Okay, before

1056
01:30:02.279 --> 01:30:10.640
having a snack, Wow, Snake charmers aren't hypnotizing cobras. The

1057
01:30:10.720 --> 01:30:29.319
snake's tracked the flutes, notion motion, not the music. Okay, okay.

1058
01:30:29.680 --> 01:30:35.520
The largest mindfulness session lesson record one one hundred and

1059
01:30:35.560 --> 01:30:41.880
seventeen people hints at a at a mass trance logistics,

1060
01:30:42.479 --> 01:30:45.840
though it wasn't technically hypnosis so that was a Guinness

1061
01:30:45.840 --> 01:30:52.840
World record. Mean mindfulness is more what it's meditation rather

1062
01:30:52.920 --> 01:31:00.960
than it's kind of in the middle. Really yeah, yeah,

1063
01:31:01.119 --> 01:31:05.960
I'm just looking at this fast food as fast food

1064
01:31:05.960 --> 01:31:11.520
adds sometimes hide ericsonian embedded commands, the technique lifted strength

1065
01:31:11.560 --> 01:31:12.880
and therapy handbooks.

1066
01:31:14.399 --> 01:31:14.640
Yeah.

1067
01:31:14.720 --> 01:31:20.880
The first people to use hypnosis really like properly make

1068
01:31:21.039 --> 01:31:26.800
use of hypnotic language was advertisers, especially on radio and

1069
01:31:26.840 --> 01:31:32.000
then television, in order to get people to buy stuff.

1070
01:31:33.880 --> 01:31:41.199
It's the language the the that's where psychology, like the

1071
01:31:41.319 --> 01:31:44.880
cutting edge psychology is used the most, and that's in advertising,

1072
01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:52.279
not just advertising, but also TV shows as well to

1073
01:31:52.319 --> 01:31:53.319
get people to watch.

1074
01:31:54.399 --> 01:32:02.399
So yeah, it's it's worth knowing that stuff. I think

1075
01:32:02.399 --> 01:32:14.119
it's very very very interesting. Apparently, prestigious medical schools such

1076
01:32:14.119 --> 01:32:25.399
as Harvard, Stanford, UCL now offer elective hypnosis training.

1077
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:40.399
In the fifties, there was a famous hypnotist forget his

1078
01:32:40.520 --> 01:32:42.000
name now, it is terrible, isn't.

1079
01:32:41.840 --> 01:32:48.239
It, but he used to specifically teach doctors and dentists

1080
01:32:48.279 --> 01:32:55.920
and surgeons hypnosis. Never told Elman, David Elman, he never taught.

1081
01:32:56.600 --> 01:32:59.760
He had a book that was green. He wrote a book.

1082
01:33:00.199 --> 01:33:02.800
I also used to have his audio tapes as well,

1083
01:33:03.520 --> 01:33:08.640
but I don't have them anymore. It'd only teached doctors,

1084
01:33:08.800 --> 01:33:14.840
wouldn't teach the public dentists and doctors so that they

1085
01:33:14.880 --> 01:33:20.840
could a dentists especially really, but also to help calm

1086
01:33:20.960 --> 01:33:25.239
patients down and things like that. So yeah, and he

1087
01:33:25.359 --> 01:33:25.760
used to.

1088
01:33:25.640 --> 01:33:32.640
Do much quicker chances, Yeah, quite quick hypnosis, because there

1089
01:33:32.680 --> 01:33:37.239
wasn't time for long drawn out stuff, you know, because

1090
01:33:37.399 --> 01:33:41.800
patients maybe only get like fifteen minutes or twenty minutes

1091
01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:44.079
or whatever back then, maybe.

1092
01:33:43.800 --> 01:33:48.920
Half an hour. This was the fifties, fifties and sixties,

1093
01:33:52.319 --> 01:33:57.960
maybe the forties, fifties, probably fifties and sixties. I'd say

1094
01:33:58.039 --> 01:34:02.760
Dave Ellman because he used to be a radio presenter

1095
01:34:02.800 --> 01:34:07.199
as well. I think he had some kind of radio

1096
01:34:07.239 --> 01:34:12.319
show about hobbies and somebody came in to talk about

1097
01:34:12.319 --> 01:34:19.119
their hobby, but their hobby was hypnosis, and I think

1098
01:34:19.199 --> 01:34:23.000
the person came in and did and hypnotized someone on

1099
01:34:23.039 --> 01:34:27.520
the radio, which it probably didn't work.

1100
01:34:27.560 --> 01:34:30.000
It's about the same as doing eventually christ actor isn't

1101
01:34:30.039 --> 01:34:34.720
it on the radio. But he became I think, fascinated

1102
01:34:36.079 --> 01:34:39.039
and went to see this person on stage, went to

1103
01:34:39.039 --> 01:34:39.479
see his.

1104
01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:43.520
Training or whatever. I don't know and then got into

1105
01:34:43.560 --> 01:34:53.159
hypnosis himself. Oh well, that's my little memory of him.

1106
01:34:53.199 --> 01:34:57.520
So I'm going to go. So thank you for listening.

1107
01:34:58.000 --> 01:35:00.199
Remember to be kind to yourself because you do you

1108
01:35:00.319 --> 01:35:04.920
deserve to be happy. Be gentle with yourself, because you

1109
01:35:04.960 --> 01:35:09.279
do deserve to feel safe.

1110
01:35:08.119 --> 01:35:28.800
Lots of love. By relax in a more deep and

1111
01:35:32.640 --> 01:35:40.000
meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just

1112
01:35:40.319 --> 01:35:50.399
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time

1113
01:35:51.079 --> 01:35:59.439
we've spend together here, not just relaxed at the end

1114
01:35:59.479 --> 01:36:03.920
of the rearing when it's finished and you can enjoy

1115
01:36:04.119 --> 01:36:21.520
that sense of comfort and peace, but also I think

1116
01:36:21.560 --> 01:36:32.760
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation

1117
01:36:35.079 --> 01:36:49.319
continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that

1118
01:36:49.439 --> 01:37:01.920
you can still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe

1119
01:37:01.960 --> 01:37:13.359
in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by

1120
01:37:13.479 --> 01:37:21.439
listening regularly, especially if you find, like some people do

1121
01:37:21.800 --> 01:37:25.439
and myself as well. I sometimes I find one particular

1122
01:37:25.560 --> 01:37:35.600
recording that really resonates with me, and I just listen

1123
01:37:35.680 --> 01:37:40.960
to it over and over again every morning, every evening.

1124
01:37:48.600 --> 01:37:53.239
There was this recording from We're going back to about

1125
01:37:53.399 --> 01:37:58.640
nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a

1126
01:37:58.760 --> 01:38:08.199
guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really, and I

1127
01:38:08.279 --> 01:38:11.600
managed to find it again and it still has the

1128
01:38:11.640 --> 01:38:20.840
same effect on me. And part of it was the

1129
01:38:20.920 --> 01:38:33.960
person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful, and

1130
01:38:34.000 --> 01:38:40.840
I'd look forward to listening to her in the morning

1131
01:38:41.279 --> 01:38:52.359
and in the evening, and I knew before even pressing

1132
01:38:52.520 --> 01:38:59.119
the play button that as soon as I've done that

1133
01:39:00.079 --> 01:39:03.479
pressed the play button. This was in the days of

1134
01:39:08.560 --> 01:39:17.720
CD players pressed the play button. In fact, it might

1135
01:39:17.720 --> 01:39:22.039
have even been a tap tape recorder. I'd lie down

1136
01:39:22.119 --> 01:39:34.720
on the bed and then even without necessarily listening to

1137
01:39:34.920 --> 01:39:48.039
her words because I had them memorized. Really, it was

1138
01:39:48.079 --> 01:39:49.399
as if my body.

1139
01:39:50.960 --> 01:40:04.399
Knew exactly what to do, and the muscles just almost

1140
01:40:04.479 --> 01:40:24.880
went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind would

1141
01:40:24.960 --> 01:40:25.560
slow down.

1142
01:40:31.199 --> 01:40:39.920
Now. Now, I was listening to this recording in the

1143
01:40:39.960 --> 01:40:47.760
early days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever

1144
01:40:47.880 --> 01:40:55.720
made any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't

1145
01:40:55.760 --> 01:41:05.920
start doing that till two thousand and six, I knew,

1146
01:41:09.800 --> 01:41:22.920
I knew how helpful I found being able to just

1147
01:41:23.079 --> 01:41:31.039
let go, to have that trust in the person that

1148
01:41:31.119 --> 01:41:45.000
I'm listening to, knowing that it's going to be just

1149
01:41:45.119 --> 01:41:52.359
as relaxing, if not more so. Each time you hear

1150
01:41:52.439 --> 01:42:07.920
my voice, you may feel the same. Some people have

1151
01:42:08.039 --> 01:42:21.119
been listening to me for over a decade, maybe not solidly,

1152
01:42:22.239 --> 01:42:28.479
obviously not twenty four hours a day, but maybe people

1153
01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:44.520
come back. Some people maybe listen every day. There's something

1154
01:42:44.560 --> 01:42:53.079
that I do which you may not realize by listening,

1155
01:42:57.640 --> 01:43:15.479
is when I record these recordings now, for example, I

1156
01:43:15.760 --> 01:43:28.560
also am affected by the words that I say. So

1157
01:43:28.720 --> 01:43:38.079
if I set you focus on your feet, notice your

1158
01:43:38.159 --> 01:43:50.079
feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet. I

1159
01:43:50.199 --> 01:44:07.960
will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said focus

1160
01:44:08.000 --> 01:44:16.359
on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between each hand,

1161
01:44:20.039 --> 01:44:26.960
perhaps notice the air in the room, the temperature of

1162
01:44:27.000 --> 01:44:39.039
the room. On the backs of your hands. You may

1163
01:44:39.159 --> 01:44:46.319
start to notice what almost feels like a very light breeze,

1164
01:44:48.039 --> 01:44:52.119
even though there may not be any type of breeze

1165
01:44:52.359 --> 01:45:05.079
at all where you are right now. And as you

1166
01:45:05.159 --> 01:45:18.880
become aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how

1167
01:45:20.000 --> 01:45:44.479
relaxed my hands our feeling now. And when it comes

1168
01:45:44.640 --> 01:45:51.720
to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the

1169
01:45:51.760 --> 01:46:07.600
reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make

1170
01:46:07.720 --> 01:46:28.880
these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting. In fact,

1171
01:46:29.159 --> 01:46:45.880
at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and

1172
01:46:45.920 --> 01:46:56.840
then I carry on talking. And it's only where I

1173
01:46:56.920 --> 01:47:06.319
listen back to do the editing. I hear snoring, and

1174
01:47:06.399 --> 01:47:09.039
I think, I don't remember snoring.

1175
01:47:12.319 --> 01:47:19.159
I remember talking. Is this snoring was a pick turned up?

1176
01:47:23.119 --> 01:47:30.800
That's why I sound like when I snore, I get

1177
01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:44.880
really into the whole experience. I don't know how you feel.

1178
01:47:51.039 --> 01:47:57.600
How relaxed do you feel in your feet, how relaxed

1179
01:48:01.439 --> 01:48:19.960
you feel in your hands. I have noticed.

1180
01:48:22.039 --> 01:48:38.279
More and more that the more relaxed, deeper level of

1181
01:48:38.520 --> 01:48:55.760
comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost

1182
01:48:56.159 --> 01:49:17.119
like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows you debree

1183
01:49:17.439 --> 01:49:43.359
easier without necessarily focusing on your breath, however, being able

1184
01:49:43.439 --> 01:50:12.760
to notice the ease in which you breathe so naturally.

1185
01:50:27.399 --> 01:51:10.079
You breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my

1186
01:51:10.359 --> 01:51:26.680
breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed, I tend

1187
01:51:26.800 --> 01:51:47.279
to visualize a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing

1188
01:51:47.399 --> 01:52:19.600
all that life giving oxygen. And it feels nice too,

1189
01:52:21.199 --> 01:52:40.159
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

1190
01:52:51.479 --> 01:53:24.319
enjoying that fearing of peace, serenity with a joyful heart.

1191
01:53:49.359 --> 01:54:14.880
Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

1192
01:54:20.760 --> 01:55:00.039
so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

1193
01:55:00.119 --> 01:56:04.439
this moment, completely free. Notice that your mind has slowed down,

1194
01:56:12.760 --> 01:56:59.520
slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

1195
01:56:59.640 --> 01:57:15.439
enjure way the physical sensations of allowing the stress to

1196
01:57:15.520 --> 01:57:30.479
drip out of your body, dripping out of every part

1197
01:57:36.359 --> 01:58:00.760
of your body and being released from your brain. Hunge

1198
01:58:00.920 --> 01:58:36.159
your mind slowly but surely. The muscles in your legs

1199
01:58:51.760 --> 01:59:45.800
relax res rs so very deeply, reacts so deeply. And

1200
01:59:46.039 --> 01:59:56.039
the feelings, the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders,

1201
02:00:13.840 --> 02:00:27.479
deepening each part of your body further and deeper.

1202
02:00:37.439 --> 02:00:38.399
And deeper.

1203
02:00:52.880 --> 02:01:23.359
Noticine, the feelings in the back of your neck, feelings

1204
02:01:23.479 --> 02:02:01.920
in your wrists, muscles in the front of your body.

1205
02:02:12.279 --> 02:02:56.439
I also feeling peaceful, deeping. There's a sense of peace

1206
02:03:00.920 --> 02:03:40.840
spreads through your very core. Even when you focus on

1207
02:03:40.880 --> 02:05:03.960
your mind. Your mind becomes a slower, deeper, relaxing, so

1208
02:05:04.600 --> 02:06:04.640
very slow. Your stomach tastefull in your stomach, your back.

1209
02:06:10.039 --> 02:06:38.880
Notice notice how relaxed you now feel in the hole

1210
02:06:39.199 --> 02:07:11.960
of your back, in a spy from your brain all

1211
02:07:12.000 --> 02:07:19.640
the way down the middle of your back, sending and

1212
02:07:20.079 --> 02:07:26.560
receiving millions of messages every.

1213
02:07:26.319 --> 02:08:57.359
Day, deepcomfort, increasing deeply relaxed, your knees, legs, spreading these

1214
02:08:57.479 --> 02:09:07.119

1215
02:09:07.239 --> 02:09:53.279
your body, have shins and your calf muscles, your outbursts.

1216
02:10:09.760 --> 02:10:27.199
Feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your body, tips

1217
02:10:27.199 --> 02:10:43.199
of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers, all the

1218
02:10:43.199 --> 02:11:00.680
way to your lower back. I'm letting go, read a thinker,

Visi peace, enjoy.

1224
02:15:42.199 --> 02:15:47.239
The space, this space.

1225
02:15:49.680 --> 02:15:50.880
Of peace.

1226
02:15:54.000 --> 02:15:55.039
And safety.

1227
02:16:18.439 --> 02:16:22.039
Fayy f.

1228
02:16:26.319 --> 02:18:21.079
Relxed, letting God. Maybe we can just focus on the

1229
02:18:21.200 --> 02:18:56.520
different parts of your body, just to notice your forehead

1230
02:18:56.799 --> 02:19:58.040
and your eyes June Sunda. Not to say in the

1231
02:19:58.280 --> 02:21:30.040
sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom. Dress day, dress day.

1232
02:21:30.040 --> 02:21:30.840
He's on.

1233
02:21:32.879 --> 02:23:17.920
Energy paste to breathe so much easy, lest you may

1234
02:23:21.799 --> 02:24:21.840
you may not have noticed your mind drifting, peaceful move

1235
02:24:22.280 --> 02:24:42.840
ay even more deeply in the direction of total blissful pace,

1236
02:24:47.040 --> 02:26:50.479
blissful pacem hhhh to to pace, come so calm, lett

1237
02:26:50.559 --> 02:28:26.600
him go. Peace of mind X body so rex relaxed. No,

1238
02:28:26.879 --> 02:28:31.799
body feels almost invisible.

1239
02:28:47.000 --> 02:29:08.120
So very relaxed and paceful. Yeah, pace on.

1240
02:29:31.479 --> 02:29:32.120
The card.

1241
02:29:47.840 --> 02:29:49.559
I'm slip saw.

1242
02:29:55.120 --> 02:29:56.399
So fa.

1243
02:30:07.440 --> 02:30:13.680
And you could start to notice that you are feeling

1244
02:30:14.079 --> 02:30:26.719
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon.

1245
02:30:27.639 --> 02:30:33.959
That sense of physical comfort that is growing within you

1246
02:30:34.639 --> 02:30:43.040
throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,

1247
02:30:48.000 --> 02:30:55.159
and that could be almost in recognition of I guess

1248
02:30:55.600 --> 02:31:08.079
my speech not being particularly fast and things just generally

1249
02:31:09.799 --> 02:31:20.799
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

1250
02:31:20.840 --> 02:31:27.760
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

1251
02:31:29.920 --> 02:31:37.399
take a break from your life as it is, and

1252
02:31:37.559 --> 02:31:45.280
to give yourself a rest. Giving yourself permission to take

1253
02:31:45.399 --> 02:31:50.920
some time off and to allow your body to relax

1254
02:31:52.639 --> 02:32:03.760
and allow your mind to slow down. In turn releases

1255
02:32:04.120 --> 02:32:08.799
the tension and it stresses that you had in your body.

1256
02:32:14.799 --> 02:32:18.680
It's almost as if the parts of your body just

1257
02:32:18.959 --> 02:32:30.639
open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same

1258
02:32:30.799 --> 02:32:42.079
time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy which then

1259
02:32:42.239 --> 02:32:51.360
fills your body up and your mind to also starts

1260
02:32:51.559 --> 02:33:08.200
to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence and almost uplifting

1261
02:33:08.600 --> 02:33:24.000
feeling positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body

1262
02:33:25.079 --> 02:33:35.120
like a wave of comfort. And all this comes from

1263
02:33:35.440 --> 02:33:47.000
just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour,

1264
02:33:47.479 --> 02:33:57.639
however long you want it to be, just rest and

1265
02:33:57.840 --> 02:34:07.840
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself

1266
02:34:10.719 --> 02:34:26.440
to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows

1267
02:34:26.879 --> 02:34:39.600
more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move

1268
02:34:40.120 --> 02:34:48.920
around your body and into your mind, almost as if

1269
02:34:49.000 --> 02:34:58.719
your mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring

1270
02:34:59.559 --> 02:35:12.399
each other with that growing positivity and calmness, And it

1271
02:35:12.520 --> 02:35:20.360
feels nice, really does feel nice to know that you

1272
02:35:21.680 --> 02:35:30.200
are the one that has allowed yourself to feel more

1273
02:35:31.520 --> 02:35:38.159
comfort than to experience.

1274
02:35:39.879 --> 02:35:41.000
More of this.

1275
02:35:42.799 --> 02:35:57.959
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1276
02:35:59.479 --> 02:36:05.040
on eat each part of your body, you can notice

1277
02:36:05.239 --> 02:36:19.719
that that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing

1278
02:36:19.840 --> 02:36:32.200
on it, becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing.

1279
02:36:36.280 --> 02:36:42.000
And as I moved down your body, starting at your head,

1280
02:36:44.760 --> 02:36:50.000
the parts that you have already focused on or continue

1281
02:36:51.399 --> 02:36:58.479
to relax deeply, and those parts that have not yet

1282
02:36:58.680 --> 02:37:11.559
focused on or just automatically release any remain intention in

1283
02:37:11.719 --> 02:37:25.959
anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm

1284
02:37:26.000 --> 02:37:32.440
going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being

1285
02:37:32.600 --> 02:37:41.239
aware of the feelings of your forehead and any background

1286
02:37:41.520 --> 02:37:48.639
sounds like mister Herbert opinion can just allow you to

1287
02:37:48.799 --> 02:37:56.040
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1288
02:37:59.200 --> 02:38:04.520
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1289
02:38:08.000 --> 02:38:14.040
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1290
02:38:14.559 --> 02:38:25.040
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1291
02:38:25.319 --> 02:38:33.079
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1292
02:38:35.399 --> 02:38:39.879
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1293
02:38:45.079 --> 02:38:53.360
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1294
02:38:55.799 --> 02:39:05.520
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1295
02:39:05.559 --> 02:39:12.040
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1296
02:39:12.280 --> 02:39:26.680
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1297
02:39:27.159 --> 02:39:34.079
your tongue, your teeth, your gums, the hole of your

1298
02:39:34.200 --> 02:39:41.319
mouth relaxing, calm.

1299
02:39:42.479 --> 02:39:43.360
And loose.

1300
02:39:47.479 --> 02:39:55.680
As you focus now on your jaw, just a part

1301
02:39:55.799 --> 02:40:00.559
of your jawney, your mouth, and your chin but all

1302
02:40:00.639 --> 02:40:05.120
the way up the size of your face to your ears,

1303
02:40:07.399 --> 02:40:08.280
the hole.

1304
02:40:08.719 --> 02:40:09.600
Of your jaw.

1305
02:40:12.040 --> 02:40:19.079
Feeling more relaxed.

1306
02:40:22.559 --> 02:40:39.959
And calm. Focusing on your neck, the front of your

1307
02:40:40.079 --> 02:40:52.520
neck and your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The

1308
02:40:52.920 --> 02:40:58.520
side of your neck, the right and left side of

1309
02:40:58.600 --> 02:41:17.120
your neck relax and loose and calm. And now the

1310
02:41:17.399 --> 02:41:24.479
back of your neck, focusing on the back of your neck,

1311
02:41:30.440 --> 02:41:35.639
letting go of any tension that may have been there before,

1312
02:41:37.479 --> 02:41:51.639
and enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release. Then

1313
02:41:51.760 --> 02:42:02.159
you can experience in the back of your neck, moving

1314
02:42:02.399 --> 02:42:09.000
down your back and moving either side of your spine

1315
02:42:10.280 --> 02:42:12.239
right from the top of your back.

1316
02:42:13.959 --> 02:42:15.239
All the way.

1317
02:42:15.239 --> 02:42:27.879
Down to the bottom of your back. Down it's your

1318
02:42:28.000 --> 02:42:38.520
lower back. As you move up and down your spine,

1319
02:42:40.680 --> 02:42:45.079
you can feel the muscles either side of your spine

1320
02:42:47.319 --> 02:43:01.879
relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense

1321
02:43:02.000 --> 02:43:12.440
of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into

1322
02:43:12.680 --> 02:43:19.280
both sides of your back, the top of your back,

1323
02:43:20.159 --> 02:43:26.399
the middle and your lower back. And as you scan

1324
02:43:28.120 --> 02:43:35.920
gently and slowly up and down your back, there's the

1325
02:43:36.079 --> 02:43:41.920
muscles in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1326
02:43:46.280 --> 02:43:52.280
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1327
02:43:52.360 --> 02:44:01.879
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,

1328
02:44:07.639 --> 02:44:13.639
and in your lower back there seems to be an

1329
02:44:13.719 --> 02:44:27.879
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips,

1330
02:44:30.200 --> 02:44:38.040
sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

1331
02:44:38.239 --> 02:44:47.399
area where your cosicks are, and into your buttocks. As

1332
02:44:47.559 --> 02:44:56.840
muscles that spread from your lower back into your hip

1333
02:44:56.920 --> 02:45:16.559
area start to melt, start to reading, let go, and

1334
02:45:16.760 --> 02:45:23.280
you know where about to focus on your shoulders. Your

1335
02:45:23.479 --> 02:45:34.120
back and your spine will continue to let go, continue

1336
02:45:34.959 --> 02:45:49.840
to relax so calmly, and as you focus on your shoulders,

1337
02:45:51.639 --> 02:46:17.280
you may notice they're already feeling loose, they already feeding calm.

1338
02:46:23.360 --> 02:46:24.360
And fear.

1339
02:46:28.680 --> 02:46:36.959
Those muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders.

1340
02:46:43.559 --> 02:47:12.920
Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and

1341
02:47:13.159 --> 02:47:26.000
the feeling in your shoulders seems to spread deep into

1342
02:47:26.079 --> 02:47:36.479
your shoulders, a sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1343
02:47:36.879 --> 02:47:44.319
into your muscles, but also relaxing.

1344
02:47:46.440 --> 02:47:47.760
The bones.

1345
02:47:53.239 --> 02:47:59.799
And moving all the way to underneath your arms, relaxing

1346
02:48:01.760 --> 02:48:06.440
a whole area between the tops of your shoulders and

1347
02:48:06.680 --> 02:48:12.719
underneath your arms, healing.

1348
02:48:18.200 --> 02:48:18.840
You feel so.

1349
02:48:20.760 --> 02:48:31.479
Relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which.

1350
02:48:31.440 --> 02:48:36.479
Sense that deep healing.

1351
02:48:39.520 --> 02:48:46.600
Message into your arms.

1352
02:48:53.280 --> 02:48:54.559
You may feel.

1353
02:48:56.040 --> 02:49:01.079
Almost as if your arms are not even there, because

1354
02:49:01.200 --> 02:49:02.000
the so.

1355
02:49:02.840 --> 02:49:37.799
Relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm, So.

1356
02:49:52.239 --> 02:50:03.360
That feeling spreading all way down your arms, two elbows,

1357
02:50:07.159 --> 02:50:37.479
including your elbows circumfort spreads your way into rists, your forums.

1358
02:50:37.399 --> 02:50:46.000
Nd your wrists so heavy.

1359
02:50:49.639 --> 02:51:01.520
Yet at the same time, sunlight.

1360
02:51:04.120 --> 02:51:06.040
And gentle.

1361
02:51:30.200 --> 02:51:30.879
F s.

1362
02:51:33.440 --> 02:52:01.200
Now on your hands, hands.

1363
02:52:07.040 --> 02:52:09.920
So peaceful.

1364
02:52:10.959 --> 02:52:12.399
In your hands.

1365
02:52:30.600 --> 02:52:31.719
As a sense of.

1366
02:52:35.200 --> 02:52:37.040
Real pace.

1367
02:52:48.719 --> 02:52:49.639
Just seems to.

1368
02:52:53.879 --> 02:52:57.600
Feel so familiar.

1369
02:53:01.559 --> 02:54:40.719
Handslas taken else I things things you think. It's hips

1370
02:55:09.360 --> 02:55:40.000

To legs.

1373
02:57:02.879 --> 02:58:02.000
Like muscles in your thoughts. I relaxed calf musculs just sas.

1374
02:58:06.399 --> 03:00:26.280

Cyclm love that deep relaxation.

1381
03:01:52.920 --> 03:02:26.479
To spread your chest storm let you go everything. So

1382
03:02:26.520 --> 03:02:32.879
I'm gonna start counting down now, from twenty down to one.

1383
03:02:38.799 --> 03:02:42.040
You can imagine in a way it's like just walking

1384
03:02:42.120 --> 03:02:47.959
down some steps and each step or twenty steps, and

1385
03:02:48.079 --> 03:02:58.440
each step represents a level of comfort. Each step represents

1386
03:03:01.040 --> 03:03:13.520
a deepening of that comfort, and the furvies you walk

1387
03:03:13.600 --> 03:03:26.079
down those steps, the deeper more relaxed you feel. So

1388
03:03:26.760 --> 03:06:14.079
starting with number twenty twenty ninehhhhhh eight seven ten sixteenhhhhhh

1389
03:07:16.440 --> 03:09:00.959
three four se.

1390
03:10:06.639 --> 03:10:26.360
Too wellhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

1391
03:14:16.200 --> 03:17:32.760
Hhhhhhhh eight sidi six.

1392
03:18:18.120 --> 03:19:37.920
Five four.

1393
03:20:05.760 --> 03:21:10.399
Shhhhhhh u.

1394
03:22:03.879 --> 03:23:16.040
U one.

1395
03:24:05.600 --> 03:24:06.319
And now.

1396
03:24:10.680 --> 03:24:23.360
As you focus on your eyes, we're gonna count down

1397
03:24:23.760 --> 03:24:34.879
from ten dout to one, focusing just on your eyes,

1398
03:24:38.639 --> 03:24:47.159
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1399
03:24:48.680 --> 03:25:05.680
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1400
03:25:05.799 --> 03:25:07.840
we count down ten.

1401
03:25:09.600 --> 03:25:23.399
Down to one, whilst focusing on your eyes, you'll become.

1402
03:25:24.959 --> 03:25:37.079
Twice is relaxed with each number counting down that you

1403
03:25:37.239 --> 03:25:44.799
may find the what you want to do is just

1404
03:25:46.840 --> 03:25:54.000
drift off to sleep. And if that's what you want,

1405
03:25:57.040 --> 03:26:10.000
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

1406
03:26:10.159 --> 03:26:17.479
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten

1407
03:26:17.879 --> 03:27:33.639
down to one right now, ten nine eight.

1408
03:28:26.760 --> 03:32:53.360
Snu four.

1409
03:32:55.520 --> 03:35:29.959
Three one.

1410
03:35:36.239 --> 03:35:52.920
So count down from ten to one ten nine eight

1411
03:35:55.760 --> 03:36:20.559
seven six five four three two one. And maybe that

1412
03:36:20.760 --> 03:36:24.879
was a bit too quick. In order to relax maybe

1413
03:36:24.920 --> 03:36:29.200
it's a bit too fast for you to notice the

1414
03:36:30.520 --> 03:36:37.319
calming of your body, maybe even a little bit of

1415
03:36:37.440 --> 03:36:41.360
pressure there, Like you're counting down from ten to one.

1416
03:36:41.479 --> 03:36:44.879
Would you expect me to do man, expect me to

1417
03:36:44.959 --> 03:36:54.520
stick go with floppy just because you're counting down. You

1418
03:36:54.600 --> 03:36:57.879
can try it again, but this time I'll go a

1419
03:36:57.959 --> 03:37:05.319
bit slower this time, as you focus on the whole

1420
03:37:05.399 --> 03:37:11.639
of your body before we focus on your legs. Just

1421
03:37:11.920 --> 03:37:21.879
notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed

1422
03:37:26.680 --> 03:38:20.879
with every number that I count down ten nine at eight, seven, six, five, four,

1423
03:38:28.319 --> 03:39:19.799
three one, And just notice how how you feel generally,

1424
03:39:20.239 --> 03:39:34.520
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

1425
03:39:34.680 --> 03:39:41.799
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

1426
03:39:43.120 --> 03:40:06.680
that space between being active physically or men just sitting

1427
03:40:06.920 --> 03:40:11.479
or lying down and just being there, not doing anything,

1428
03:40:11.680 --> 03:40:18.319
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So

1429
03:40:19.000 --> 03:40:22.040
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1430
03:40:22.079 --> 03:40:33.079
a space, a gap. And the more I came down

1431
03:40:33.120 --> 03:40:40.479
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1432
03:40:40.600 --> 03:40:53.040
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

1433
03:40:53.200 --> 03:41:08.079
nice feeling, and those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally

1434
03:41:08.799 --> 03:41:19.520
moves them away. Allows you.

1435
03:41:22.239 --> 03:41:22.760
To just.

1436
03:41:25.760 --> 03:41:32.079
Slow down. Someone to count the game from ten down

1437
03:41:32.120 --> 03:41:42.079
to one, and notice that gap widening, the gap, And

1438
03:41:42.200 --> 03:41:47.200
as it widens, it's almost like the stress and attention

1439
03:41:48.079 --> 03:42:07.159
falls into the gap. Give you that distance, that space

1440
03:42:09.559 --> 03:43:29.319
now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four three.

1441
03:44:04.079 --> 03:44:04.319
One.

1442
03:44:15.840 --> 03:44:19.959
Now, how did your body feel?

1443
03:44:22.200 --> 03:44:22.399
Now?

1444
03:44:35.079 --> 03:44:47.719
Can you notice that? Do you feeling calmer, the feeling

1445
03:44:50.079 --> 03:45:17.479
more relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just

1446
03:45:17.639 --> 03:45:39.040
your legs. You're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs.

1447
03:45:53.840 --> 03:45:58.159
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be done,

1448
03:45:58.920 --> 03:46:05.280
because I'm sure, like most of your body is not

1449
03:46:05.360 --> 03:46:17.559
a lot going on right now. Just focusing on the

1450
03:46:17.680 --> 03:46:23.760
whole of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the

1451
03:46:24.040 --> 03:46:30.680
sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your

1452
03:46:30.799 --> 03:46:36.120
outer thighs, and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of

1453
03:46:36.159 --> 03:46:44.000
your thigh that leads into your hip and it goes

1454
03:46:45.040 --> 03:46:55.120
down to your knee joints. Now, this is a big area.

1455
03:46:59.559 --> 03:47:05.280
It's a heavy area. It's very strong, probably the strongest

1456
03:47:06.280 --> 03:47:19.440
muscles in your body or in your thighs. But I

1457
03:47:19.520 --> 03:47:27.840
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1458
03:47:33.760 --> 03:47:44.520
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1459
03:47:44.719 --> 03:48:05.319
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

1460
03:48:05.440 --> 03:48:15.879
through our lives. And it may seem sound really weird,

1461
03:48:16.000 --> 03:48:24.360
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

1462
03:48:24.479 --> 03:48:32.120
our thighs, needs some TLC, a bit of love shown,

1463
03:48:33.120 --> 03:48:51.840
a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for our thighs

1464
03:48:52.079 --> 03:49:00.920
do for us. And I know this may sound a

1465
03:49:01.000 --> 03:49:07.319
bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I short, How

1466
03:49:07.399 --> 03:49:12.559
should be out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,

1467
03:49:16.719 --> 03:49:19.000
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.

1468
03:49:20.040 --> 03:49:22.239
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

1469
03:49:22.319 --> 03:49:26.239
outside hugging a tree. I can't see the television from

1470
03:49:26.280 --> 03:49:36.479
the tree. If you move down to your knees, a

1471
03:49:36.600 --> 03:49:44.520
gain such an important part. And I think we don't

1472
03:49:44.600 --> 03:49:52.440
necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate

1473
03:49:54.239 --> 03:49:59.319
all that my needs do for me until I have

1474
03:49:59.440 --> 03:50:02.840
a problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever

1475
03:50:04.440 --> 03:50:08.399
maybe i'll bash it or it's aching for some reason.

1476
03:50:10.120 --> 03:50:16.319
It's then that I realize how much it does you know,

1477
03:50:16.399 --> 03:50:22.360
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1478
03:50:24.120 --> 03:50:31.360
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's

1479
03:50:31.600 --> 03:50:40.000
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.

1480
03:50:44.079 --> 03:50:48.719
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1481
03:50:48.760 --> 03:50:56.280
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude

1482
03:50:57.799 --> 03:51:00.760
and love to your knees for all they do for you,

1483
03:51:11.239 --> 03:51:14.399
and you can still have that attention on your thighs.

1484
03:51:15.200 --> 03:51:21.399
Maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe you noticed that

1485
03:51:21.760 --> 03:51:40.440
they are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on

1486
03:51:40.559 --> 03:51:45.120
the bottoms of your lex your shins, and your calf muscles,

1487
03:51:45.600 --> 03:51:53.280
the bones between your knees and your feet incorporate, and

1488
03:51:53.360 --> 03:52:04.319
of course your ankles so important. You know, anyone that's

1489
03:52:04.360 --> 03:52:10.399
had even like the slightest sprain of an ankle knows

1490
03:52:10.719 --> 03:52:22.600
how how much we take our ankles for granted. And

1491
03:52:22.719 --> 03:52:25.040
it's kind of strange in a way when you think that.

1492
03:52:27.600 --> 03:52:31.559
You know, logically, our wrists are a lot thinner than

1493
03:52:31.680 --> 03:52:35.760
the rest of our arms, which is okay, it doesn't

1494
03:52:36.319 --> 03:52:39.360
I can't see any problem with that because we're just

1495
03:52:39.479 --> 03:52:47.200
picking stuff up. Our ankles so much thinner than the

1496
03:52:47.280 --> 03:52:57.559
rest of our legs, and from a physics perspective or

1497
03:52:57.719 --> 03:53:01.840
logical even it doesn't really make sense that all this

1498
03:53:02.120 --> 03:53:10.920
weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading

1499
03:53:10.959 --> 03:53:23.920
to your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it

1500
03:53:24.120 --> 03:53:30.000
does so much great work. Supports us, supports our body

1501
03:53:31.280 --> 03:53:41.760
for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps you to

1502
03:53:45.760 --> 03:53:55.000
get around and be mobile. And there's the carved muscles.

1503
03:53:55.040 --> 03:54:02.639
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1504
03:54:02.719 --> 03:54:09.040
pointing calf muscles. Didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if

1505
03:54:09.079 --> 03:54:12.680
I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get

1506
03:54:12.719 --> 03:54:16.440
some work. But of course that's not true. The calf

1507
03:54:16.559 --> 03:54:26.200
muscles are being used whenever we use our legs and

1508
03:54:26.319 --> 03:54:38.840
your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped in

1509
03:54:38.959 --> 03:54:51.479
a way, almost as a protector for the bone, leading

1510
03:54:52.879 --> 03:55:03.319
of course to your ankles and your feet. We're not

1511
03:55:03.399 --> 03:55:05.280
going to focus on your feet. We're just going to

1512
03:55:05.360 --> 03:55:11.959
focus on the legs. I realize that now that I've

1513
03:55:12.079 --> 03:55:16.760
mentioned your feet, you'll probably focus on them anyway, So

1514
03:55:16.879 --> 03:55:19.280
maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.

1515
03:55:23.319 --> 03:55:27.719
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1516
03:55:27.840 --> 03:55:32.159
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1517
03:55:32.280 --> 03:55:38.079
haven't been focusing on your thighs a few minutes, have

1518
03:55:38.239 --> 03:55:49.200
been focusing on your ankles. There's still that sensation of

1519
03:55:52.360 --> 03:56:05.159
comfort in your thighs, and there's that movement of energy

1520
03:56:07.200 --> 03:56:14.239
because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1521
03:56:14.319 --> 03:56:19.079
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1522
03:56:19.280 --> 03:56:32.600
in our thighs. But the skin on the outside of

1523
03:56:32.680 --> 03:56:38.000
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1524
03:56:38.799 --> 03:56:50.399
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1525
03:56:56.959 --> 03:57:04.479
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1526
03:57:04.520 --> 03:57:09.319
the blood, vessels, the ar trees, to all this stuff

1527
03:57:09.440 --> 03:57:18.520
that's inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice

1528
03:57:18.520 --> 03:57:22.840
if you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs

1529
03:57:23.479 --> 03:57:28.680
and a message, so you can message on the outside,

1530
03:57:28.840 --> 03:57:31.840
of course, but to be able to get deep into

1531
03:57:31.920 --> 03:57:37.360
the muscles, to be able to just message inside your thighs,

1532
03:57:38.239 --> 03:57:46.680
message in the bones of your leg, message in all

1533
03:57:46.760 --> 03:57:57.280
the veins, and just gently healing your thighs and you

1534
03:57:57.360 --> 03:58:04.479
can move down message and inside your knees, just message

1535
03:58:04.559 --> 03:58:11.520
in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing

1536
03:58:11.760 --> 03:58:22.559
energy deep into the choice your knees. Of course, there's

1537
03:58:22.600 --> 03:58:28.239
the back of your you need the inside crease where

1538
03:58:28.239 --> 03:58:35.719
you need is. It's a very sensitive area. Really, it

1539
03:58:35.760 --> 03:58:39.639
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be

1540
03:58:39.760 --> 03:58:43.719
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

1541
03:58:45.760 --> 03:58:52.639
It's almost like a hidden part that crease your legs.

1542
03:58:52.760 --> 03:58:53.719
It's almost.

1543
03:58:55.680 --> 03:58:56.399
Like a part that.

1544
03:58:58.200 --> 03:59:09.440
Has a sensitivity just a little bit different. Of course,

1545
03:59:09.520 --> 03:59:20.000
it's protected by your legs, so you can imagine putting

1546
03:59:20.879 --> 03:59:30.719
your fingers into that crease in your legs, fowld in

1547
03:59:30.840 --> 03:59:34.799
between your legs. You can just message with your fingertips.

1548
03:59:36.000 --> 03:59:42.760
Imagine your fingertips going inside, message in the muscle or tissue.

1549
03:59:47.360 --> 03:59:51.600
You can of course field the bones of your knees,

1550
03:59:53.120 --> 04:00:03.559
heading through your fingertips, and then as you go down

1551
04:00:06.440 --> 04:00:09.239
to your calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like

1552
04:00:09.319 --> 04:00:14.040
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1553
04:00:14.799 --> 04:00:24.079
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle.

1554
04:00:25.319 --> 04:00:33.920
Healing every part, and then doing.

1555
04:00:33.799 --> 04:00:42.159
The same for my shins. Massage in generally stroking the bones,

1556
04:00:43.879 --> 04:00:49.559
generally stroking them, healing in a loving way because they

1557
04:00:49.680 --> 04:00:55.840
deserve to be treated. There's the precious bones that they

1558
04:00:55.920 --> 04:01:00.559
are because their legs are so precious as in all

1559
04:01:00.600 --> 04:01:05.600
the other parts of our body, the more precious of

1560
04:01:05.840 --> 04:01:21.520
anyture on the planet. When you start to think about

1561
04:01:24.920 --> 04:01:33.760
your legs in this way, it can change your perspective.

1562
04:01:36.479 --> 04:01:42.239
It might sound a bit a bit silly to start

1563
04:01:42.319 --> 04:01:49.079
with the idea of having love for your legs, showing

1564
04:01:49.159 --> 04:01:57.360
appreciation for your thighs, wanting to be able to put

1565
04:01:57.399 --> 04:02:05.959
your hands in your thighs, message the muscles and the bones,

1566
04:02:07.799 --> 04:02:13.520
and to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

1567
04:02:16.440 --> 04:02:25.040
just to show how much you care about your legs.

1568
04:02:26.079 --> 04:02:32.000
Much you care for what your legs do for you regularly,

1569
04:02:34.399 --> 04:02:44.600
your knees, your cars, your ankles. The strength of your ankles,

1570
04:02:47.520 --> 04:02:52.200
considering how thin they are compared to the rest of

1571
04:02:52.280 --> 04:03:02.040
your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible,

1572
04:03:05.840 --> 04:03:11.079
absolutely amazing things. Ankles are.

1573
04:03:14.719 --> 04:03:16.360
Truly a gift.

1574
04:03:18.319 --> 04:03:27.440
Because of what they do for you, supporting all that weight,

1575
04:03:29.440 --> 04:03:33.879
regardless of how what weight you are, even if you

1576
04:03:33.959 --> 04:03:39.000
only ate stone, there's still a lot of weight for

1577
04:03:39.120 --> 04:03:45.840
these little ankles. How am a lot heavier than eight

1578
04:03:45.920 --> 04:03:56.559
stone double out, yet my ankles support my body all

1579
04:03:56.639 --> 04:04:03.079
the time, or they do give off a sigh of

1580
04:04:03.159 --> 04:04:08.440
relief when I sit down. That's you've had my whole

1581
04:04:08.479 --> 04:04:18.000
legs though my feet thing also go. My toes clap

1582
04:04:19.399 --> 04:04:47.879
so happy. Your legs really are amazing, And I know

1583
04:04:48.639 --> 04:04:55.200
talking about talking about your legs is probably possibly one

1584
04:04:55.200 --> 04:04:59.639
of the most most boring things I've ever heard anyone say.

1585
04:05:00.559 --> 04:05:08.040
Possibly you're bory or not. Everything I said is true.

1586
04:05:10.479 --> 04:05:25.360
Your legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect,

1587
04:05:30.920 --> 04:05:32.959
because they deserve to relax.

1588
04:05:34.319 --> 04:05:34.680
Deeply.

1589
04:05:42.000 --> 04:05:45.319
They deserve to take some time out of the day

1590
04:05:47.559 --> 04:06:16.280
to just let go completely. Your legs really can relax

1591
04:06:24.079 --> 04:06:28.000
because the legs are so such a most you know,

1592
04:06:28.280 --> 04:06:34.200
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1593
04:06:34.280 --> 04:06:40.120
the rest of your body also naturally follows.

1594
04:06:40.959 --> 04:06:41.559
In that.

1595
04:06:45.280 --> 04:06:56.079
Journey of comfort. Like I feel it in my hips.

1596
04:06:57.479 --> 04:07:04.600
My hips feel really loose, and also my lower back

1597
04:07:04.680 --> 04:07:11.280
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1598
04:07:12.399 --> 04:07:15.440
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1599
04:07:15.559 --> 04:07:20.799
no stretching as far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1600
04:07:21.799 --> 04:07:24.440
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1601
04:07:24.680 --> 04:07:30.600
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension

1602
04:07:31.520 --> 04:07:52.760
has reduced a lot, and I'm now going to count

1603
04:07:52.840 --> 04:08:05.399
down from ten down to one. Continue to film wonderfully

1604
04:08:05.479 --> 04:08:29.079
relaxed ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1605
04:08:33.479 --> 04:08:37.639
Four three.

1606
04:08:41.399 --> 04:09:02.200
Two one relax. So I'm just going to count down

1607
04:09:03.719 --> 04:09:08.399
from five down to one, and as a countdown, if

1608
04:09:08.440 --> 04:09:15.520
you just focus on the numbers, just the numbers counting down,

1609
04:09:16.600 --> 04:09:20.479
and notice how you feel.

1610
04:09:22.840 --> 04:09:24.000
In this moment.

1611
04:09:25.440 --> 04:09:29.840
As you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those

1612
04:09:30.000 --> 04:09:43.040
numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer, not just in

1613
04:09:43.159 --> 04:09:51.680
your body, but also relaxing your mind. Just notice how

1614
04:09:51.760 --> 04:09:57.600
you feel. There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say,

1615
04:09:58.280 --> 04:10:15.319
there's nothing to think about. Starting with number five, four

1616
04:10:24.840 --> 04:11:00.600
three two one, how did you notice the gradual letting

1617
04:11:00.719 --> 04:11:10.120
go the tension and your body? You may also begin

1618
04:11:10.399 --> 04:11:16.399
to notice and be aware of how your mind is

1619
04:11:17.479 --> 04:11:25.280
starting to slow down. This is just a natural thing

1620
04:11:25.799 --> 04:11:33.200
that happens. It's not really a special procedure. It's just

1621
04:11:33.399 --> 04:11:39.600
natural because as your body relaxes, your mind also starts

1622
04:11:39.680 --> 04:11:44.360
to relax. And the more your mind relaxes, the more

1623
04:11:44.399 --> 04:11:49.639
your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle of relaxation.

1624
04:11:55.680 --> 04:12:04.200
And there's that calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know,

1625
04:12:04.360 --> 04:12:09.959
even even if there's background sounds, even your side online

1626
04:12:11.799 --> 04:12:17.600
is still going to be quite calm. You know, you

1627
04:12:17.680 --> 04:12:22.879
haven't got the television on, there's no music in the background,

1628
04:12:22.959 --> 04:12:25.639
unless you're listening to the recorded with music. Of course,

1629
04:12:30.479 --> 04:12:32.639
you're very likely not going to be sitting in a

1630
04:12:32.760 --> 04:12:35.879
room with other people. Of course you might be, but

1631
04:12:37.200 --> 04:12:40.440
generally it's more ideal if you can do this on

1632
04:12:40.559 --> 04:12:51.879
your own, so no distractions, and when you stop thinking

1633
04:12:51.959 --> 04:13:09.120
about stuff, relaxation automatically arises, a sense of comfort starts

1634
04:13:09.200 --> 04:13:17.920
to grow, and without trying to build it up into

1635
04:13:18.040 --> 04:13:30.159
something fantastical or something magical, this is just a natural process,

1636
04:13:32.520 --> 04:13:43.200
something that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1637
04:13:43.319 --> 04:13:50.200
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1638
04:13:50.360 --> 04:13:54.239
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1639
04:13:54.360 --> 04:14:05.959
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

1640
04:14:06.399 --> 04:14:16.600
the process of this recording and others is simply two

1641
04:14:18.200 --> 04:14:28.559
allow you to take advantage of this space, this time,

1642
04:14:31.600 --> 04:14:42.479
to just let go, to just be here, to be

1643
04:14:43.120 --> 04:14:56.520
in tune with how you feel. Yet with the intention

1644
04:14:58.760 --> 04:15:10.239
of wanting to relax deeply, then maybe even to fall asleep,

1645
04:15:11.399 --> 04:15:16.559
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself

1646
04:15:18.319 --> 04:15:33.399
in this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority

1647
04:15:34.639 --> 04:15:39.079
of the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep

1648
04:15:39.159 --> 04:15:45.959
part is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper

1649
04:15:47.239 --> 04:16:09.719
relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drift. You

1650
04:16:09.799 --> 04:16:16.799
can also if you choose stay focused on my voice

1651
04:16:18.360 --> 04:16:45.360
and then really enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle

1652
04:16:50.000 --> 04:17:16.840
in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of

1653
04:17:17.120 --> 04:17:17.760
letting go.

1654
04:17:24.200 --> 04:17:24.920
Completely.

1655
04:17:30.959 --> 04:17:35.000
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,

1656
04:17:39.799 --> 04:17:49.040
and you can notice your mind calming down more with

1657
04:17:49.440 --> 04:18:42.360
each number that you hear me say, naturally, con sorry, peaceful, six, five.

1658
04:19:02.239 --> 04:21:09.639
Four, Sam, being aware of how your mind has slowed

1659
04:21:11.799 --> 04:21:16.719
right down, sinking.

1660
04:21:18.840 --> 04:21:43.000
Deeply into relaxation. As you focus on your mind, I

1661
04:21:43.399 --> 04:21:52.479
notice that there are some thoughts still there, maybe some

1662
04:21:52.799 --> 04:22:02.239
stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need your attention.

1663
04:22:09.120 --> 04:22:18.000
That's what you can do is send love to those thoughts.

1664
04:22:21.280 --> 04:22:32.159
Sprinkle those thoughts with love, my little petals for my flower.

1665
04:22:33.200 --> 04:22:41.040
Just sprinkle over them petals, feel good. Love towards those thoughts.

1666
04:22:41.639 --> 04:22:48.120
To let those thoughts know that you're not abandon the number.

1667
04:22:49.440 --> 04:22:57.159
You just need them to require them to just calm down,

1668
04:22:59.479 --> 04:23:16.920
slow down, quiet down for now. So as you focus

1669
04:23:17.040 --> 04:23:22.280
on those remaining thoughts as we count down this time

1670
04:23:22.399 --> 04:23:30.840
from seven down to one. With each number, just imagine

1671
04:23:31.000 --> 04:23:47.079
sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts,

1672
04:23:52.200 --> 04:23:58.399
which will allow them to just not away relax deeply

1673
04:24:03.200 --> 04:24:27.319
number those thoughts will become more relaxed. Starting if number

1674
04:24:27.479 --> 04:27:11.399
seven six five four notes relaxed your feeling in your body.

1675
04:27:19.799 --> 04:27:32.959
We got to focus on your hands, because the more

1676
04:27:33.079 --> 04:27:40.159
relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body. And

1677
04:27:40.440 --> 04:28:01.120
my dog, let you focus on your head, hands and

1678
04:28:01.280 --> 04:28:11.319
your fingers. It's nothing needed to be done. There's no

1679
04:28:11.600 --> 04:28:16.680
clench of fists or dance and the fingers, right, litle,

1680
04:28:24.360 --> 04:28:25.440
it's just not.

1681
04:28:27.200 --> 04:28:39.680
Fuckers on your hands not to smarly feel.

1682
04:28:54.040 --> 04:29:04.280
Because the good asks your hands feel. I can't why

1683
04:29:04.399 --> 04:29:25.520
your mind feels comfort feel throughout your body. Gee may

1684
04:29:28.000 --> 04:29:33.319

04:29:35.399 --> 04:29:40.360
Noticed you.

1686
04:29:44.920 --> 04:30:15.719
Mind is starting to dress quick sad just on your

1687
04:30:15.920 --> 04:30:34.200
hands and fingers, allowing a cheap experience a real deepening

1688
04:30:35.440 --> 04:30:50.799
of that relaxation in your hands and fingers a more

1689
04:30:50.959 --> 04:31:17.680
relaxed with each number eight down to one, lowest few

1691
04:31:32.200 --> 04:31:56.520
becoming relaxing with each number you hear, coming down, eight,

1692
04:31:57.360 --> 04:32:14.600
down to one, to drift down to the spotted police

1694
04:36:22.759 --> 04:36:33.959
nothing to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calm.

1695
04:36:38.919 --> 04:36:46.680
This is your natural state of being. This is how

1696
04:36:46.799 --> 04:36:54.840
you just normally feel when you take away that unstuff.

1697
04:36:57.240 --> 04:37:10.119

04:37:10.439 --> 04:37:23.119
intensenly thinking about so take that away? Just what we do.

1713
04:40:19.959 --> 04:40:31.880

04:40:32.720 --> 04:40:38.799

Use your health improves, not just your physical health, but

1724
04:42:05.279 --> 04:42:12.720
your mental health. Things that used to bother you in

1725
04:42:12.840 --> 04:42:20.400
the past, for some reason, no longer have the effect

1726
04:42:20.919 --> 04:42:29.840
that they used to because something has changed deeper within you.

1727
04:42:34.919 --> 04:42:41.319
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1728
04:42:45.119 --> 04:42:55.279
no longer have that prowm to control you the way

1729
04:42:55.360 --> 04:43:03.360
they seem to be able to before. As you realize

1730
04:43:04.360 --> 04:43:16.799
that you're the one who decides what affects you. You're

1731
04:43:17.319 --> 04:43:27.200
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm when

1732
04:43:28.080 --> 04:43:43.000
you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments a healing

1733
04:43:45.599 --> 04:43:54.200
continue to grow and improve your life day by day.

1734
04:44:00.040 --> 04:44:06.360
Plea to have course your ability to relax so much

1735
04:44:07.799 --> 04:44:21.680
easier and sleep in. It's the most natural thing in

1736
04:44:22.319 --> 04:44:31.040
the world to you because fall in the sleep is

1737
04:44:31.159 --> 04:44:39.319
something that you've done so many times in your life,

1738
04:44:42.560 --> 04:44:46.319
and you know that you were born as we all

1739
04:44:46.439 --> 04:44:57.279
work with the ability to fall asleep naturally. You're born

1740
04:44:58.639 --> 04:45:09.119
with that ability to just drift off into a deep,

1741
04:45:10.400 --> 04:45:21.759
healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes you will fall

1742
04:45:21.799 --> 04:45:26.080
asleep and we don't even want to try to think

1743
04:45:26.159 --> 04:45:30.759
and stay awake. Maybe it's birthday in the morning, or

1744
04:45:30.799 --> 04:45:35.000
it's Christmas or holiday or something I look forward to.

1745
04:45:35.720 --> 04:45:40.319
How am I going to sleep? But the more you

1746
04:45:40.439 --> 04:45:45.799
want to stay awake, the more we just start to drift.

1747
04:45:49.959 --> 04:45:54.439
And the more you fights drifting, we try to stock

1748
04:45:54.520 --> 04:46:08.720
yourself and drifting the same deeper, stronger drifting becomes. Because

1749
04:46:08.759 --> 04:46:14.200
we're born not just with the need to relax deeply

1750
04:46:15.919 --> 04:46:25.759
and to actually fall asleep, but it's our birthright. It's

1751
04:46:25.880 --> 04:46:36.360
part of our DNA, and sometimes as we get older

1752
04:46:36.439 --> 04:46:49.919
in life, perhaps at times we have forgotten the relaxing completely.

1753
04:46:51.680 --> 04:47:05.040
It's not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

1754
04:47:16.400 --> 04:47:23.799
It's very very easy to let go because that's what

1755
04:47:23.959 --> 04:47:38.319
it is. It's just decided to let go. And when

1756
04:47:38.479 --> 04:47:45.840
you press the play button on the work recordings, you

1757
04:47:46.240 --> 04:47:57.520
have given her permission for my voice to relaction. Prest

1758
04:47:57.599 --> 04:48:07.520
that play button, you permission for my words to a

1759
04:48:07.720 --> 04:48:28.439

Of safety, comfort and harmless. This felt so nice, such

1769
04:50:33.439 --> 04:50:46.759
a healthy place to be, and that post seventy a

1770
04:50:46.959 --> 04:50:49.159
moros within it.

In every day move forward, you're had to find more

1775
04:51:35.360 --> 04:51:51.639

1776
04:51:51.840 --> 04:52:03.560
how you're going to start noticing when negativity arises, when

1777
04:52:03.680 --> 04:52:17.599
you can just say stop, stop the negativity, what'll turn
