00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:11.320
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:18.000
Jason Newland and this is let Me pull you to sleep.

3
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.239
Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

4
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:38.280
Blah blah blah. So yeah, it's Sunday, the seventeenth of

5
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:54.079
August two thousand and twenty five. Yeah, it's been I mean,

6
00:00:54.240 --> 00:01:01.000
technically it's been quite a busy week, but really just

7
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:08.079
because of all the recordings I made, but I only

8
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:15.359
made like since Monday, I've only made to let Me

9
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:20.680
boy you to sleep recordings. I didn't do a Q

10
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:26.200
and A Friday this week because or last week where

11
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.519
if you want to call it, you know, this previous

12
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:36.000
Friday because I got one question. I know, perhaps I

13
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.000
left it a little bit late to post on the

14
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:45.879
Facebook group, you know, any questions, But maybe I should

15
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.159
just stop doing the Q and A Friday if no

16
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:53.079
one's if there's no more questions, then there's no more answers.

17
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.439
I can't answer questions that are not asked. So yeah,

18
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.439
if you want me to continue to do the Q

19
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.480
and A Friday, then please, I mean, you can send

20
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.919
a question in via my website if you want, and

21
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.280
I'll just add it to a list of questions. Just

22
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.039
let me know it's for this coming Q and A Friday,

23
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.520
and I'll add it because there's a contact form on

24
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:30.000
my website, or you can you know, when I post

25
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.319
any Q and A questions for Q and a Friday

26
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.840
on my Facebook group, which is Jason Newland's Boring Group,

27
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:47.120
you can maybe leave a question there as well, or

28
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:53.719
instead of you know whatever. But yeah, I can't. I'm

29
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.960
not going to do it if there's no questions, because

30
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.000
it seems a little bit I mean, there was one question.

31
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.719
I mean, in all fairness, I probably could have made

32
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.360
that one question last for a bad an hour. But

33
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:14.560
the question really was whether or not I preferred personal

34
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:21.319
questions or non personal questions? And has there been any

35
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.039
times that I haven't answered a question because it was

36
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:30.680
too personal? So I can kind of answer that here

37
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.199
in a sense of generally, I'm open to most questions.

38
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:42.400
If it's a question that I don't really want to answer,

39
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:50.039
then I will be purposefully vague, I suppose, or I

40
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:56.439
will distract myself and move on to something else. I

41
00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:02.039
don't know, it's I'm not I'm not great with family

42
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:06.080
questions because that is personal. But also I don't really

43
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:16.360
have much in a way of family to talk about. Really, Yeah,

44
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.600
as long as it's about me, it's fine. I'm okay.

45
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.959
You know, I talk about myself. That's the only thing

46
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.600
I've really got any right to talk about, really, isn't

47
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.800
it in a sense? I mean, you know, I've done

48
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:36.399
a few done some podcasts about step moms and stuff,

49
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.720
but that was all nice things that I talked about.

50
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:46.839
So yeah, generally, if it's about me, that's kind of

51
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.319
what the the Q and a Friday's for. But it

52
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.399
can be about you as well. It can be like

53
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.720
you could ask my opinion on something. You could ask

54
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:05.360
me because I've been in life for so long. You

55
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:11.319
can ask me about world events maybe that's happened during

56
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.639
my lifetime. Asked me about English culture. If you live

57
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:35.879
in another country, you could ask me jobs, places I've lived, girlfriends, hobbies, interests,

58
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:56.800
TV programs I liked, music, movies I've seen. Yeah, really,

59
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:04.839
it's I think sometimes I'm better at some of the

60
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.639
older stuff because if something because let's say, if I

61
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:18.319
went to someone slamming the doors downstairs like constantly, and

62
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:19.800
I really don't know why they've been doing it for

63
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.079
about twenty minutes, just slamming it. Well, let it slam

64
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.000
over and over and over again, which is very sor

65
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:35.519
I never got a dog dog barking. That's why these

66
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:40.040
recordings are so much better than hypnosis recordings, because I

67
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.959
can't I have to stop talking. If a dog barks

68
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:49.879
in the background. With these recordings, all sounds are fine.

69
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.639
I mean, maybe not for you, but generally it's in

70
00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:02.639
a distance, it's in the background, and it's either make

71
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:13.399
a recording or don't make a recording. One of the

72
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:18.519
things that starts that dog off and also starts venning off,

73
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.800
and also starts another dog around the corner off or

74
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.759
across the road off is this cat. So this lady

75
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:32.120
that lives in a building opposite, she's put bells on

76
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.759
her cat's collars. Now, I thought she did it just

77
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.120
to annoy the docks, but she didn't. She did it

78
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.519
to warn birds. So actually she's done it for a

79
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.199
really nice reason. But the side effect of this particular

80
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:58.639
medication is dogs hear it. I mean he can hear

81
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.680
it in the middle of the night and he starts

82
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.720
barking sometimes or growling. And I know what, I'll look

83
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:10.839
out the window. I can just make out the cat,

84
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.480
and the cat's just standing in the garden staring up

85
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:23.160
at the window. Proper wind up merchant that one. So

86
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:28.560
it's weird, isn't it. It's what she's doing is a

87
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.679
really good thing to have, because I really love birds.

88
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:42.080
But there's always there's a it seems to be a

89
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.200
what do they call that thing? Not a brush off,

90
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:58.799
a playoff the downside, I don't know. Yeah, it's not

91
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.120
a win win situation. It's a win win situation for

92
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.519
the birds, which I'm really pleased about. It's not a

93
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:12.679
win win situation for the cat. So the cat doesn't

94
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.840
get to catch birds, which is good, but a cat

95
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.720
does get to get some pleasure from annoying the dogs,

96
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.799
which I imagine is quite pleasant for it. Now, it's not

97
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.440
a win situation for the dogs, unless, of course, the

98
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:34.879
dogs getting excited. So Vinnie might actually be enjoying barking

99
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.000
when he hears the cat. It's more excitement than anger

100
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:54.080
or anything, so bless him. Yeah, so Uncle's sausages. The

101
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.639
funeral has been changed. It was on the toy. It's

102
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.000
supposed to be on the twenty first of August, but

103
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.759
they haven't got the birth the death certificate yet. So

104
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:12.039
it's been put off till another week. So that was

105
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:18.799
that's weird. The I had to get the counseling for

106
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:30.200
the mouse exterminator people. I'm not sure what you call them,

107
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:37.080
animal prevention unit. I don't know, vermin control, something like that.

108
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:43.200
And they came in last Friday and they put down bait,

109
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.279
and they came back this Friday and said there's nothing

110
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.279
in there. There's no They put stuff in the into

111
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:59.480
the lofts and everything, and there's nothing, no sign, not

112
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:09.120
a single sausage, excuse the pun. And it's all the residue,

113
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:14.240
all the leftovers from the previous mister that so it's

114
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:22.480
not yeah, it's old historic, he said, which is good.

115
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.399
It's not good in a sense, but it's good obviously

116
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.360
for the rest of the building because we don't want

117
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:34.440
those things running around. But it's not it's like he

118
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:38.120
was living with all that stuff around. He didn't even

119
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:45.720
know it. So the I'm thinking that the council are

120
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.799
going to come in and start emptying his place, probably

121
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.759
in the next week or so. So I've still got

122
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.240
his key to let them in, and then that'll be

123
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:08.080
the whole process coming and emptying it and painting and

124
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.919
all that stuff and getting a place ready for the

125
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:17.000
next tenant and a new a new adventure begins, hopefully

126
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:23.720
a quiet adventure. But we'll see. Yeah, I could, really,

127
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:28.440
I really don't need a new neighbor opposite me. You know.

128
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.759
It's the noisy ones, the ones downstairs, and then there's

129
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.320
a couple. Well one's moved out now, but there was

130
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:42.440
a couple that slammed the door continuously downstairs. Now it

131
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:46.759
shakes the building. It's really loud. It echoes through the

132
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.279
hallway and stuff. And it's one thing downstairs, but here,

133
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.919
if I had the same thing happening opposite me, it's

134
00:12:55.960 --> 00:13:02.759
going to be I think it will be disturbable, disturbable,

135
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:09.919
disturbably loud, And I don't know, I'm not looking forward

136
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.600
to that because there seems to be two types of

137
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.919
people in this world, those that know how to close

138
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.080
doors and those that don't know how to close doors.

139
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:29.879
I didn't think it'd be too complicated, you know, and

140
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.879
so considerate people and inconsiderate people. But I also realized

141
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.919
as I got older, that inconsiderate people aren't actually quite

142
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:46.960
often doing it to be harmful to other people. They're

143
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:51.360
just not thinking they're just they're just going about their business,

144
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.639
going about their life. They're not even noticing the doors

145
00:13:55.639 --> 00:14:01.639
slamming when they leave, and perhaps not noticing they've got

146
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.799
loud music at night, or you know, they're just they're

147
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.360
not doing it purposefully to cause problems. I think some

148
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:18.639
people just they're just not aware of or not aware

149
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:23.080
but not aware that other people are around they can hear.

150
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.960
Maybe they assume that they're everything they can hear is

151
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.720
just for their ears and no one else can hear it.

152
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:40.000
Have you ever seen someone on public transport talking about

153
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:47.320
someone else and they're literally like ten foot away, but

154
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:51.240
that person can hear you. I can hear you, and

155
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:57.440
I'm in the next town. It seems to Yes, it's

156
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:03.159
kind of weird. One no one can hear me. Yeah,

157
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:09.480
they can hear you, you know, when we're not not everybody.

158
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:16.559
But so that would be interesting. I mean, I hope

159
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.679
it will take a while before they get anyone in there,

160
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.720
and I hope when they do, it's not going to

161
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:31.399
be you know, it's going to be Yeah, well I

162
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.240
hope it's going to be a nice person, that's all.

163
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:41.360
Someone that's idea is someone that's older, someone that's maybe

164
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.080
but I don't think it really matters about agees that

165
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.679
they're nice, nice and quiet.

166
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:53.960
That would be nice, Yeah, I think quiet.

167
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.279
How many people have I had lived here, not in

168
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.159
my flat, but live in this building since I've been

169
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:06.720
here for ten years ten and a half years now.

170
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:21.759
Oh so when I moved in, we had her him, him, him.

171
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:27.720
So there was someone when I moved in, there was

172
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:33.039
Uncle's Sausages. He's been here the whole he was here

173
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:41.120
the whole time until recently. And then next to him

174
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:46.919
there was someone that was there for a while and

175
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:51.039
then he moved out, and then someone else moved in.

176
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.440
I didn't realize it was a different person. But he's

177
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.919
been in there for a long time, and I'll get

178
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.039
on really well with him as well, So he's cool.

179
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:09.799
He's about eighty. And then so this has kind of

180
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:13.200
been the same for a long time, the last probably

181
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.759
eight years. This has pretty much been the same upstairs

182
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:28.119
until now. Downstairs there's someone that's been there the whole

183
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:29.960
time as well as she was here when I moved in,

184
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:41.279
not below me, but one of the flats downstairs. And

185
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.480
then in the other flat next to the one I

186
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.279
was just talking about downstairs, that was where my friend

187
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.599
Luke lived, and.

188
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:51.880
He was.

189
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.839
I think he's been there for like two, two or

190
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.759
three years before I moved in, at least a couple

191
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:02.880
of years before I moved in.

192
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:05.759
So.

193
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:15.519
And he was here until what month is it now, August, September, October, November,

194
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.960
so it'll be two years in November that he left.

195
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.759
Let me dark shut up.

196
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:33.960
I do wonder if she just the owner of that

197
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:39.119
doctor's prods it to make it bark because it's too

198
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:44.319
quiet and we need noise. Bark. That's good. I haven't

199
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:49.160
got to think now, just make lot noise. We need noise.

200
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:57.599
So when he left, the counsel came and did their

201
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:04.559
thing and all that stuff. But it did take quite

202
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:15.559
a long time before anyone moved in, so it was

203
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:25.440
a good I don't know if I just got a

204
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:30.599
feeling it was last summer, but maybe kind of April

205
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:36.799
May time, so December, January, February, March April, so at

206
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:42.279
least five or six months before someone moved in there. Yeah,

207
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:47.279
so it wasn't it might have been March April. It

208
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:51.359
was all I know. It's very very sunny, so maybe

209
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:58.000
four five months, so it's quite it's quite a long time.

210
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.519
I mean the longer the better. The longer it takes,

211
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:05.279
the better, I think. Not for people that are waiting

212
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:10.279
for housing, obviously it's not good for them, just for

213
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:20.160
the tenants, you know, just have that little break. That's

214
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:25.039
I don't know, a bit selfish, isn't I suppose. Sorry,

215
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.680
I give myself permission to be selfish once a day,

216
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:38.720
and that was my little selfish moment. So and then

217
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:43.680
so soone moved in there into to loose flat about

218
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:50.880
I don't know. I'm sure it's about May, but there

219
00:20:50.960 --> 00:21:02.839
might have been earlier. And then she's moved out already

220
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:06.920
as far as I know, she's moved out a couple

221
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.599
of weeks ago. So that tenant's gone. So there's now

222
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:16.400
another flat empty, but the council haven't come in to

223
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:22.960
refurbish it. So I'm not sure what's going on. All

224
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.960
I know is she moved I've been told that she's

225
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:37.319
moved out. And then downstairs, so we've got two flats

226
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:44.359
empty at the moment, but both kind of just been

227
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:46.680
lived in it as it were, you know, so they

228
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:52.200
need to be what the counse would normally do, you know,

229
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.319
if there's stuff in there like there was still some

230
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:58.200
stuff in there with Luke. They come in and they

231
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:00.160
take all the stuff out and they put it to

232
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:07.000
the back of a like a lorry van thing, you know,

233
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:16.079
those cage vans. And I don't know obviously where you live,

234
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:18.960
I'm not sure what it's like, but they kind of

235
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:24.519
they use quite often for cutting, like you know, the

236
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.920
grass cutters are doing parks and stuff, and they chuck

237
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.119
stuff in the back there. So it's got a cage.

238
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:31.599
It's not it's not got a top on it, but

239
00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:34.000
it's got a cage at the side, so then it

240
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.160
doesn't you know, and they can open it at the

241
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.319
back and put stuff on and wheel stuff into it.

242
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.119
I mean, it's probably used in building sites that kind

243
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:50.079
of things. Well, I don't know, but I imagine, well

244
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:53.240
they use that's what they generally seem to use, so

245
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:59.799
they chuck stuff on there. Then there's a while because

246
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:05.160
I guess the process depends well how quick the process

247
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:10.160
is depends on how many flats need to be done,

248
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:16.599
because they've got limited workers to do it, I imagine.

249
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:23.920
So you know, if suddenly one hundred flats become available,

250
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:29.279
a hundred properties become available in one month, they're going

251
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:32.279
to struggle to do that many they're going it's gonna

252
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:36.680
take a while, I guess, but there I don't be honest,

253
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:42.920
I don't really know what the council actually do to

254
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:48.920
the property. I mean, once they take everything out, which

255
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:51.440
they I know, they take the carpet out as well.

256
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.519
The only way you get to have a carpet is

257
00:23:55.559 --> 00:24:01.559
if you do a council swap with someone else. So,

258
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:08.000
for example, I'd love to live in Talkie. It's a

259
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.680
long way away, but I just think it's beautiful place

260
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.000
or maybe something like Cornwall or you know, somewhere that's

261
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:25.880
just nice visually nice with a beach. And yeah, I'm not,

262
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:31.319
I'm not. I mean, this is okay as a base,

263
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:39.480
but it's not. I'm very secluded here and I do

264
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:45.599
like beaches and I've lived on a well, I've lived

265
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:57.160
in towns with beaches three times, including Buttlings. I mean technically,

266
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.640
well was not. Technically there was a beach there, but

267
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.839
I think I only went to it twice and it

268
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:10.400
was winter, so it wasn't. Really I'm pretty sure the

269
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:14.160
beach was. I think that part of the beach might

270
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:17.599
have been private just for no, it wouldn't have been

271
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:25.200
private with it. I don't know anyway. I remember I

272
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.799
did go there a couple of times at late at night,

273
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:36.640
and it's very windy, very cold, very rainy. Yeah, I

274
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:39.640
do quite like beaches. I lived in South End when

275
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:45.240
I was a little kid, and back then South End

276
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:53.880
was a very popular place for holiday goes, and I

277
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:59.200
mean it probably I think Blackpool was always the most popular.

278
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:04.720
I think, but I think what happened and I might

279
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:09.359
be I'm partly making this up, is depending on where

280
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:16.319
you lived in the country, when it came to a holiday,

281
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:22.519
you'd go to the popular place that's in that part

282
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.279
of the country. So if you lived in I suppose

283
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:33.880
Liverpool or Manchester and stuff like that, you perhaps traveled

284
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:41.799
to Blackpool. If you lived in London, perhaps you travel

285
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:47.160
to South End or to Clacton. And if you're in Essex,

286
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:50.279
maybe Clacton or South End because both of those are

287
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:54.480
in South End. So and it's probably the same in

288
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:03.480
other places, you know where you'd go to a place

289
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:08.519
where there's I'm trying to think the East Coast Yarmouth.

290
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:13.000
Yarmouth was a very popular place. Yarmouth Beach is one

291
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:16.160
of the nicest beaches I ever went to in this country.

292
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:19.960
It was a long time ago. I went on a

293
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:27.319
school trip. Was there a school trip? Wow? Why I've

294
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:35.559
always gone squeaky? Why did I go to Yarmouth? I

295
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:45.119
went on a trip with someone, but I don't know

296
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:49.640
why I went. Maybe it was with the see Cadets,

297
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:59.640
or maybe it was a school trip. Might be the

298
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:05.759
school trip, might be in the cecredets. But I've got

299
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.119
a memory of it. And I think one of the blokes,

300
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:11.839
one of the kids, met a girl while he was there,

301
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:15.559
and he was not in the Cecredets, So I think

302
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:20.119
it was just a school trip and we went to

303
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:25.519
Yarmouth for some reason for the day and stuff like that.

304
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:38.640
It's brilliant. Yeah, probably that's what's a memory I forgot about. Yeah.

305
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:46.759
I remember running on the beach and just like the

306
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:52.799
sea coming up and I'm kissing my girlfriend and she's like,

307
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.640
we're upset because she's going back. She's on holidays, she

308
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.640
was going back to Australia and I to go back

309
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:05.359
to school. I wait a minute, as speakinning of Greece. No,

310
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:09.119
but there's definitely a beach. There was a beach. I'll

311
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:15.279
tell you another beach, really lovely, really Lower Stuft, so

312
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:20.039
the East Coast if you ever do come to if

313
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:22.039
you live up north, or you live in Scotland or

314
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:28.880
Wales or the middle of the country Norwige. I mean,

315
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:32.920
if you live in the South area, you're probably going

316
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.640
to know about the East Coast. But there's some really

317
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:42.079
nice beaches here. Now, I don't think anyone's going to

318
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:47.480
come from Wales to go visiting beaches other parts of

319
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.319
the UK because Wales has some of the most beautiful

320
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:55.799
beaches in the world. I think I covered myself there.

321
00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:04.440
Good does Scotland have beaches? So I said, do Scotland

322
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:08.759
have Wales? See, I have been to Scotland, but I

323
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:10.799
was a tiny kid. I think I lived there for

324
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:16.519
a while. I'd like to go. Well, do I say Scotland,

325
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:20.480
I'd like to go to Scotland. I'd like to It's

326
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.160
one of those places like I've been to Wales multiple

327
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.640
times over the years. I've been told I live in England,

328
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.440
but I've been to lots and lots of places in England.

329
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:36.880
I lived in Newcastle, lived in South End, lived in

330
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:46.880
East Anglia, lived in Essex, lived in London. Yes, I

331
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:55.119
lived in the Northeast in the South I've been to.

332
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:03.079
You know, a lot of the places I've been to Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester,

333
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:12.880
Bolton and most of the towns in this on the

334
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:19.200
east coast area, you know, all those different beccles and

335
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:24.799
lowest staffed Yarmouth, all those places in Norfolk as well.

336
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:30.039
I've been to lots of places in Norfolk over the

337
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:41.079
years in the past, not recently, and I just haven't

338
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.160
really as an adult or as a like a because

339
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:46.920
when I was there, I was too young to really

340
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:50.720
know where I was. When I was in Scotland, that

341
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:53.960
is so my oldest brother said, we lived in Scotland

342
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:58.720
for a while, but I don't recollect it. I don't

343
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:01.400
remember it because I was I might have even been

344
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:04.599
a baby, not a baby, but like two years old

345
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.960
or something, which is still a baby, isn't it really?

346
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:18.880
And I'd like to go to Scotland just to visit

347
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.880
and because I would be a tourist like my dad

348
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.799
is literally not literally because it was a while back,

349
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:34.720
but probably about two months ago for sus yeah, probably

350
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.119
about two months ago. He was in Scotland on holiday

351
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:44.200
and he did a little tour of Scotland and I'm

352
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:49.079
not sure where he went, because I've got family and well,

353
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:55.319
my ancestry. Although forty eight percent Irish, I am about

354
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:00.759
two percent Scottish or four percent Scottish, so you know,

355
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:09.359
my Celtic percentage is quite high Irish and Scottish. And

356
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:16.400
I don't know if there's any or whales in me now,

357
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:18.680
I just god, we have visual would you want and

358
00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:21.119
well or whale in you? But yeah, I don't know

359
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:25.839
if I've got any. We're all mixed, and we ultimately

360
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:31.200
there is the idea that is that there's a pure

361
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:36.119
breed human out there. Shut up, shut up, doesn't exist.

362
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:42.160
You're silly, silly person. I'm pure me. No you're not.

363
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:47.119
Maybe pure of mind, I'm a pure breed. No, there's

364
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:49.200
no such thing. There's not even such thing as a

365
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:54.200
pure breed dog, because most dogs have just created. You know,

366
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:56.599
you've got a dog. And then you say, okay, I

367
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:59.759
like this. I like this little mixture we've got. Let's

368
00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:03.319
make more of just this mixture and we'll call it

369
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:06.640
a pure breed, even though the original wasn't a pure breed.

370
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:09.719
It was just a mixture. No, it's not how it works.

371
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:16.079
So I remembersides saying, oh is it Jack Russell, and

372
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:20.599
he was the bloke that tried to selling the many

373
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:24.880
to me. He's a pure breed, you know, I said, okay,

374
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:28.199
And I did a bit of research and Jack Russell's

375
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:32.559
were created on purpose by mixing a bunch of dogs

376
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:43.280
together to create hunters. So it's nothing pure a poumped hair.

377
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:49.440
It's like, you know, it's weird. There's definitely no pure

378
00:34:49.440 --> 00:35:03.199
breed humans. Is that controversal? No, but it's true. Ah. Yeah,

379
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:08.760
So Scotland, I reckon it would be quite a nice

380
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:12.960
place to visit. Wales. I'd like to go back to

381
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:19.239
Wales and visit again. Yeah, I'd like to see the

382
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.280
beaches again, just to see if they are what I remember.

383
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:25.559
I'm going to be smaller than I remember, because I

384
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:28.039
was tiny when I went there, you know, because we

385
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:32.719
used to go camping in Wales every year for quite

386
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:45.760
a few years, and I didn't like camping. I'll be

387
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:50.000
honest with you. I didn't like it. It's just not

388
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:53.760
my I mean, you haven't got to be an adult

389
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:55.840
to know what you do and don't like, have you.

390
00:35:56.039 --> 00:36:01.280
I mean I knew from the very first time that

391
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.239
I was standing there in the rain putting a tent up,

392
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:11.159
that I didn't enjoy the process, and that I didn't

393
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:17.280
really want to do it again, I would say, the

394
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:21.079
only nice thing and this is going to be weird.

395
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:25.920
Actually there's two things. The only I didn't mind sleeping

396
00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:33.679
in a tent, but I didn't like it, however, weird.

397
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:38.599
That is what I liked, is laying down in the tent.

398
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:44.360
And because we're in Wales, there's the obligatory rain has

399
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:47.440
to occur. I mean this was in the peak of

400
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:51.559
the season, peak of the summer. Beautiful for pupil are

401
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:55.760
beautiful weather, but also you know, some rain as well

402
00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:02.719
around it, which is why it's such a luscious country.

403
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:09.400
And that sound of the rain on the lid of

404
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:15.840
the tent was just so nice. It was I mean,

405
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:22.599
I don't personally, I probably did get tingles. It was

406
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:29.320
maybe that's my ASMR thing. I just found it very relaxing.

407
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:36.039
But being inside the tent when it was happening. I've

408
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:40.559
always enjoyed hearing rain, unless I have to go out

409
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:46.840
in it, then I don't enjoy it. And wind and weather.

410
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:53.800
I like weather. I'm kind of used to it. If

411
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:57.800
you ever lived, if you lived in this country, all.

412
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:09.079
We have is weather. It's just continuous. Yes, So I

413
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:09.519
don't know.

414
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:19.679
I think, yeah, laying down, I don't know where everyone

415
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:27.440
was because there was like what one, two, three, four,

416
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:33.760
five and myself there was six of us, way too

417
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:38.119
many people to spend time together. But we did and

418
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:45.880
you know it was it was what it was. Can't

419
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:51.519
change it now. Yeah, parts of it were lovely. Is

420
00:38:52.039 --> 00:39:02.000
I liked the the sandy beaches. And because in Wales,

421
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:07.119
like I'm like a tourist guy, don't I If you've

422
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:12.360
never been to Wales, and if you thought about all

423
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:20.800
I'll go or not, I'd recommend going, maybe be prepared

424
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:26.199
to travel around because you know, it's not that Wales

425
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:28.440
is a huge area. I mean it's not tiny, but

426
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:33.760
it's still it's there's you know, there's still quite a lot.

427
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:39.119
There's quite a few beautiful beaches. You've got Snowdonia the mountain,

428
00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:49.719
and I went up there twice, I think maybe three times.

429
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:52.440
I think it's twice. Went up by train once and

430
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:58.599
went up like walked up to the top. So did

431
00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:02.000
the journey. I think it was twice. Train's a lot quicker,

432
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:10.079
so I wouldn't try and not in a not even

433
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:14.920
in a no, I wouldn't try and walk up it now.

434
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:19.199
I mean, there are parts of it that he kind

435
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:24.679
of it's an up hill walk, but it's not steep

436
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:28.440
the whole way. There's parts of it that feel almost flat,

437
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:31.719
and then it gradually, you know, you end up and

438
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:34.360
I think you kind of walk around the thing. I think,

439
00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:42.400
but in my memory it might not be true. But yeah,

440
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.400
not really, not really for me anymore. I would go

441
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:47.039
up by it. I probably. I don't know if i'd

442
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:52.119
even bother going up by train, because I've done it.

443
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:53.639
I did it years ago, I did it when I

444
00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:56.159
was a kid. Wouldn't be that bothered to do it again.

445
00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.199
But if you haven't done it, it's definitely worth it,

446
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:05.159
I would say, because I don't know about your life.

447
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:06.960
But how often do you get to stand at the

448
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:12.599
top of a mountain? And some people would, I guess

449
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:17.280
every day if you live on a mountain, obviously, but

450
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:24.760
I yeah, it's quite not yeah, it's quite. Maybe I

451
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:28.199
would do it again, but go by train, and the

452
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:32.800
trains were old, I really made of wood, kind of

453
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:47.119
proper old trains, just like that. My dad's saying to me, Jason,

454
00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:50.320
can you stop that? I said, But it makes fun.

455
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:52.519
It makes it more fun if I had some sound effects.

456
00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:59.199
But yeah, I quite liked it. Yeah, that was all right.

457
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:05.719
We also went to slate places, so basically just old

458
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:11.000
minds where they used to dig for slate. We did

459
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:15.320
also go to a couple of coal mines, old coal mines,

460
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:23.519
and I think what really surprised me. I don't know why.

461
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:33.039
I was surprised how big they are like underneath really.

462
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:44.440
I mean, I do kind of think that if you're

463
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:47.639
going to build a hole like that, you're going to

464
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:51.119
dig a hole. When you finish, you need to fill

465
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:56.159
the hole in. That seems to be the obvious thing.

466
00:42:56.519 --> 00:43:00.920
You don't leave a big, massive whole all in the ground.

467
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:08.599
I'm not talking about the entrance or the exit. Maybe

468
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:12.400
U classes the entrance or the exits, probably both, isn't it,

469
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:21.559
But all of the space inside because that's going sideways,

470
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:26.039
and you know there's a lot of ground that's basically

471
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:31.519
underneath the place where people are walkings. This big, massive

472
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:41.960
gap of empty space sort of made sense. I don't know,

473
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:49.880
to me, do something with that space. I don't know

474
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:59.000
what build build like a shelter or some kind of

475
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:06.679
I don't know. It you know it just so it's supported.

476
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:11.599
So it's really really well supported for the ground. And

477
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:14.920
you can tell I know nothing about what I'm talking about,

478
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:18.599
but doesn't hasn't stopped me before, so why should they

479
00:44:18.599 --> 00:44:27.320
stop me now? Why there's no use them? So yeah,

480
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:37.239
I'd like to go to Scotland. I'm not sure where though,

481
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:41.199
because I do I'd like to go to Ireland again

482
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:49.880
as well. I mean I'm a sole traveler generally, but

483
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:52.880
if I went to Ireland, it's I could visit a

484
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:56.039
couple of people that I know, or three people that

485
00:44:56.079 --> 00:45:01.119
I know on the whole of the island, including a

486
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:02.159
northern Ireland.

487
00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:03.519
And.

488
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:15.119
That with Scotland, i'd quite like to go to, trying

489
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:19.840
to keep a Scottish place They've got They've got towns

490
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:28.599
in Scotland, haven't they. Do you have houses there? Yeah,

491
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.239
I don't know. I just I just like to visit

492
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:38.000
and just have a look around. Really, there's no specific

493
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:48.559
place necessarily. I mean, i'd like to go to Edinburgh,

494
00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:52.840
but i'd like to go during the Edinburgh Festival, so

495
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:59.679
that would be cool. And Glasgow is another place i'd

496
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:07.039
like to visit. Yeah, outside of that, I can't think

497
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:17.840
of any other places Edinburgh Glasgow. Hm that probably I'm

498
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:21.039
not saying that's that's all, but that I guess there

499
00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:26.159
are two of the main places. Glasgow. Just I don't know.

500
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:31.440
It's somewhere that I wanted to visit for a long time, Edinburgh,

501
00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:37.199
solely because of the Edinburgh Festival, the Fringe Festival, so

502
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:42.360
where the comedy and stuff is on a I think

503
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:55.559
it's in August, it's now. Actually probably I've not been

504
00:46:55.639 --> 00:46:59.800
to the Isle of Wight. I have family on the

505
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:03.239
Eye of White, not that I know. I just I've

506
00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:06.519
got like distant relatives that live there, as I do

507
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:14.159
on the Isle of Man. And well, one of my

508
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:16.519
close relatives, my auntie, used to live on the Isle

509
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:19.840
of Man. She doesn't anymore, so that's that's not a

510
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:22.920
distant relative is that she's my auntie, but she's my

511
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:30.199
daddy's sister, or she's my granny's daughter, so her and

512
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:33.719
her daughter lived on the Isle of Man. The Isla

513
00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:39.960
White is more distant, distant distant relations sort of my

514
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:48.039
NaN's relatives, relatives, And I'd like to visit the Isla White.

515
00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:51.239
I think it's has to be quite a decent place

516
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:54.800
to go, quite a nice place so maybe go there

517
00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:59.599
because these are more like closer places, aren't they, rather

518
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:03.559
than traveling across the world.

519
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:08.440
About here, well, all the places that there are to

520
00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:16.079
visit here that I could visit here, Yeah, I don't know.

521
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:22.679
Just maybe maybe could go and have a look around,

522
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:23.679
have a little wonder.

523
00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:31.719
But then you've got lots of islands, haven't you around

524
00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:39.360
the local islands like Bergerac you're there, and is Love

525
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:44.000
Sheppy is. There's some Scottish islands that I could visit.

526
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:51.159
And I think there's like one hundred and twenty one

527
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:56.960
different little islands around the UK. There's a few, anyway,

528
00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:59.280
I don't know if there's that many. I made that up,

529
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:04.639
but there's a few. There's definitely a few islands with

530
00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:12.119
small amounts of people, you know. So I think it'd

531
00:49:12.159 --> 00:49:15.679
be quite cool to visit some of those places. And

532
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.480
again it's just a ferry, isn't it, and maybe another

533
00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:25.039
boat to take me to the island, as long as

534
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:29.039
I don't have to get in the water, you know,

535
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:33.199
if it's a small boat like from a ferry or

536
00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:36.639
a ship, and then a small boat there needs to

537
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:40.800
be at least a jetty, you know, and someone to

538
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:43.360
help me off the boat. I don't want to be

539
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:48.199
like having to jump in the sea and walk up

540
00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:54.119
get all wet. No, I don't no, stop asking me

541
00:49:54.199 --> 00:50:02.480
to do that. I don't want to. So yeah, so

542
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:06.840
there's lots of places i'd quite like to visit in

543
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:16.920
the foreseeable kind of surroundings, I suppose, you know, because

544
00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:23.280
none of this is particularly far away. It's a few hours.

545
00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:27.199
A few hours, I mean, the Isle of Man is

546
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:29.679
quite on the Isle of Wight is a fair distance

547
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:33.679
because I don't know about the Isle of White. But

548
00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:38.639
with the Isle of Man, i'd have to go to Liverpool,

549
00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:42.119
I think to get the ferry from there to the

550
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:45.800
Isle of Man. So Liverpool. To get from here to

551
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:50.320
Liverpool is probably about five hours on a train, if

552
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:57.400
not more, five hours, maybe less, maybe more, maybe six hours,

553
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:03.360
and then the ferry over. If I've got a nighttime one,

554
00:51:03.400 --> 00:51:08.119
it's going to take all night to get there. Daytime.

555
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:12.519
Daytime is usually travel quicker, don't they, But at nighttime,

556
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:19.920
and I do like a nighttime journey a nighttime ferry,

557
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:26.159
but I like a daytime fairy as well. I think

558
00:51:26.199 --> 00:51:28.679
there's the benefits of a daytime as you can see,

559
00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:30.559
you can go out on the deck and you can

560
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:35.960
see stuff. At night, you can't really see that much,

561
00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:43.800
but it is more slow and more relaxed, and there's

562
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:48.320
less people the nighttime. In my experience, I've done a

563
00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:54.039
few nighttime ferries over the years, and it's just less

564
00:51:54.079 --> 00:51:57.559
people around in the nighttime. I think that, but I

565
00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:01.000
guess in the majority of people prefer to travel during

566
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:08.239
the day, especially when it comes to or in the past,

567
00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:17.519
going to Belgium, there was a very popular pastime for

568
00:52:18.079 --> 00:52:22.880
people and they would travel from England to Belgium, or

569
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:30.719
England to France and basically get off the ferry, go

570
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:39.440
to the duty duty free place, buy lots of alcohol

571
00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:42.119
and cigarettes and then get on the next ferry, back

572
00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:45.480
load their lorry not the lowry, load their van or

573
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:52.039
their car with stuff and pretend that it was for

574
00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:55.519
personal use, and then get back and sell it in

575
00:52:55.559 --> 00:53:00.280
the pubs. Now, that was something that people would did

576
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:04.360
for years and years and years. And I mean there

577
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:06.559
was a time we didn't even need a passport to

578
00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:10.079
go to to go abroad. You could get like a

579
00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:13.639
little part like a day a day passport, a day

580
00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:20.079
pass and because I didn't know I went abroad, oh,

581
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:25.360
I didn't get my first passport until nineteen ninety four,

582
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:33.840
and so before that time, I traveled to Belgium multiple times,

583
00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:42.800
to France, and I flew to Spain and I didn't

584
00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:48.039
have a passport, just got a like a I was

585
00:53:48.159 --> 00:53:53.000
allowed to go, which is a bit weird because everywhere

586
00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:55.000
I've been since then, they've all asked to see my

587
00:53:55.039 --> 00:54:01.079
passport and this is you know, this is I've well, yeah,

588
00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:10.079
I don't think I've left. Have I left the country since? Yeah,

589
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:17.440
it's not to do with us leaving Europe because a

590
00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:24.880
few years back we basically put our little sales up

591
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:27.000
and we moved away from Europe. We moved the whole

592
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:33.960
country away, floated away, we did. It's weird, very strange.

593
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:38.000
We can actually see the sun moving to the side

594
00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:43.159
as we moved. So yeah, so if you do travel

595
00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:45.480
to England, just be aware that we're not in the

596
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:48.840
same place. Who was. They haven't changed all the maps

597
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:56.719
because they take ages and it's expensive. So plus England

598
00:54:56.800 --> 00:54:59.719
is such a dot on the map anyway, you almost

599
00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:04.400
miss if it was the scale, so it doesn't really

600
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:12.920
matter of fact. We've moved a few thousand miles. So yeah, well,

601
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:15.239
now in China. You didn't know that, No, you didn't

602
00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:20.920
know it nowhere near Hong Kong. Yeah, so we moved

603
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:26.599
out of Europe a few years ago and the weather's changed.

604
00:55:27.159 --> 00:55:28.239
It's a lot warmer now.

605
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:31.159
Yeah.

606
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:35.679
The thing is the problem is I didn't they didn't

607
00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:38.800
plan it very well because they managed to get it set,

608
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:43.599
but anchorage there wasn't enough. Anchorage didn't have enough anchors.

609
00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:46.679
So we keep kind of just you wake up. You

610
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:49.480
never know when where you could have end up. The

611
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:52.280
other day, I was in Spain, woke up, looked out

612
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:58.039
in Spain. Three weeks ago, I was in Somalia. Just

613
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:07.920
you don't, I don't know. So yeah, and so this

614
00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:16.440
is my Sunday afternoon, Sunday afternoon. There was a time

615
00:56:17.559 --> 00:56:23.079
in England where everything was closed on a Sunday. I'm

616
00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:28.880
talking everything. The only thing opened. Two things are opened

617
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:32.639
as far as for public, okay, other than you know,

618
00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:37.760
going out and stuff. You know, there was still amusements

619
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:39.480
and all those kinds of things were open on the

620
00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:48.159
weekends for people and maybe a Sunday market. But newsagents

621
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:55.280
opened on a Sunday morning and then on a Sunday

622
00:56:55.559 --> 00:57:01.599
lunchtime off license could open for about an hour and

623
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:05.159
a half then they closed, and then they'd open up.

624
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:07.159
I think they're allowed to open up in the evening

625
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:09.880
for about an hour and a half then they close,

626
00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:16.000
not one hundred percent sure that's true. And pubs would

627
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:18.760
be allowed to open up for a short period of time,

628
00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:23.039
probably being between eleven and one or eleven and two.

629
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.760
The pubs would open and then they'd open again in

630
00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:34.039
the evening for about seven till ten or six till ten.

631
00:57:35.480 --> 00:57:39.280
They close it they close at ten o'clock. That's what

632
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:42.199
that's Honestly, that's what Sundays used to be like in

633
00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:51.079
this country. No supermarkets, no anything walking around. It is

634
00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:54.079
just not everyone to be at home, apart from those

635
00:57:54.079 --> 00:57:59.000
that weren't. And it was kind of like an official

636
00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:02.360
day off. I mean, and it's not official, it was

637
00:58:05.159 --> 00:58:06.880
That's the reason, wasn't it so that people can have

638
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:12.320
the day off working, So probably the majority of people

639
00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:21.119
in the country wouldn't work on a Sunday.

640
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:22.679
Yeah, a lot.

641
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:36.039
Different back then, and it still was like that when

642
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:38.840
I'm pretty sure.

643
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:42.920
I'm not sure how relaxed things got, but I'm pretty

644
00:58:42.920 --> 00:58:46.800
sure it was still like that when I when I

645
00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:50.280
moved to London, because I lived in a small town

646
00:58:50.519 --> 00:58:58.679
at that time and I moved to London and things

647
00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:05.119
are different because shops were open. Some shops were open

648
00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:11.800
all the time, like all the time, and I've never

649
00:59:11.840 --> 00:59:15.239
seen that before. Like you could just get stuff whenever

650
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:18.119
you wanted, at any time of the day or night.

651
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:22.239
Not everywhere, but there were places you could get stuff.

652
00:59:23.559 --> 00:59:29.719
And there was this when I lived in forest Gate.

653
00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:35.639
There was this little shop right on the corner. Worst

654
00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:39.960
shop in the world. It was on the corner and

655
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:43.000
you had to ring the doorbell for them to let

656
00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:47.159
you in. So it's basically it's almost like they'd conver

657
00:59:47.599 --> 00:59:54.239
their front room, their living room into a shop and

658
00:59:54.280 --> 01:00:00.280
it's sold groceries, sweets, just bits like that. Yeah, everything

659
01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:05.559
was behind the counter, so you couldn't just take what

660
01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:07.719
you wanted and put it on again. They had to

661
01:00:07.760 --> 01:00:12.519
get it for you and you had to ring their

662
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:19.239
doorbell and they would come and open the door. To me,

663
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:24.440
that was someone that did not want my money. They

664
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:27.199
did not want to work, they didn't want to be open.

665
01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:31.800
So I just I wouldn't go there. I'd walk, I'd

666
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:35.119
walk two miles away to get stuff. I just refused

667
01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:37.440
to go in there. I was very young. I was

668
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:42.960
very I was very political back then. I was very

669
01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:47.480
stupid back then. I just annoyed me because a couple

670
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:48.840
of times I did try and get in there and

671
01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:54.519
they just wouldn't answer the door. We're busy, Come on,

672
01:00:54.639 --> 01:00:55.800
I just want to cand of coke.

673
01:00:56.559 --> 01:00:57.480
We're busy.

674
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:01.960
Couldn't you just come? I just want one can of coke?

675
01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:08.880
We're in bed. Really, can't you just give me a

676
01:01:08.960 --> 01:01:12.159
can of coke? It's four in the morning. We're going

677
01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:15.599
to call the police if you don't go away. We

678
01:01:15.719 --> 01:01:22.079
know where you live, Okay, fair enough? So yeah, I

679
01:01:22.159 --> 01:01:23.880
understand they didn't want to open the door for four

680
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:31.760
in the morning. But it's I remember when seven eleven opened. Now,

681
01:01:31.800 --> 01:01:40.280
that changed the world in this country because suddenly all

682
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:45.119
they were open, because everything, even during the week everything

683
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:48.440
was closed. You know. I think the pubs had to

684
01:01:48.480 --> 01:01:55.039
be closed by eleven or half ten. I think maybe

685
01:01:55.079 --> 01:01:58.039
they could open a bit later at the weekends. But

686
01:01:58.159 --> 01:02:01.519
the whole kind of being open late late didn't happen

687
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:10.800
till late nineties, I think maybe two thousands. Yeah. Wow,

688
01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:16.679
a lot of changes, a lot of changes over the years.

689
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:21.159
But seven eleven, that was so good and I don't

690
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:24.440
know why it didn't. I mean it might still be

691
01:02:24.519 --> 01:02:31.679
around parts of the country. I don't know, probably maybe

692
01:02:31.719 --> 01:02:35.599
in London, if they're all cities, maybe, but it didn't

693
01:02:35.679 --> 01:02:39.159
last very long there, and I never understood it because

694
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:43.559
it was the perfect place. They had everything everything you

695
01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:46.840
could possibly want in it of an evening. I mean,

696
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:50.840
unless you wanted to buy some underpants or something, then

697
01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:53.639
they didn't have that. If you wanted to buy a

698
01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:57.000
you know, a game of chess, they didn't have that either,

699
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:03.199
you know, a packet of screws. No, didn't have that.

700
01:03:03.559 --> 01:03:11.800
But they had like basic things like biscuits, cakes, drinks, alcohol, cigarettes,

701
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:22.039
and chocolates. I suppose it like basic. I think they

702
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:26.000
might have had a few basic groceries also, yeah, they probably, Yeah,

703
01:03:26.039 --> 01:03:29.039
they did have basic groceries, so like tins of beans

704
01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:32.679
and coffee, tea, you know, the kind of stuff that

705
01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:36.119
you'd probably find it in any seven eleven around the

706
01:03:36.119 --> 01:03:44.480
world because there's lots of them. It was brilliant. I

707
01:03:44.559 --> 01:03:49.800
loved it now. I used to go when it first started.

708
01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:52.440
I'd go in there when it first opened. I mean

709
01:03:52.760 --> 01:03:55.960
i'd say, what time are you're closing, Let's say eleven?

710
01:03:56.960 --> 01:03:59.079
I mean, to start with, it was like, oh, eleven o'clock.

711
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:03.199
After the fifteenth time of going in there, like every

712
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:08.719
day in a row, they said, it's still eleven o'clock.

713
01:04:10.320 --> 01:04:12.960
Then after about three weeks of doing it, they took

714
01:04:13.039 --> 01:04:19.599
me outside and pointed to the sign and what I

715
01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:22.119
think they thought I was making fun of them, but

716
01:04:22.159 --> 01:04:27.360
I wasn't, because I really I grew up seeing everything

717
01:04:27.519 --> 01:04:31.280
close early, like my whole life up to the age

718
01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:36.679
of sixteen seventeen or whatever. It was, everything closed early

719
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:43.920
in the evening on a Sunday, everything, And I just

720
01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:48.719
couldn't believe that something was open late till eleven at night.

721
01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:56.760
It was unheard of. And I kind of because of

722
01:04:56.840 --> 01:04:58.800
the because I was working in the chip shop at

723
01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:03.679
the time, and I didn't finish work till probably ten

724
01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:06.280
half ten sometimes if it was a really busy lot

725
01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:09.480
to do and stuff ten o'clock, I don't know, and

726
01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:12.639
I'd go and check in that because I wanted to

727
01:05:12.639 --> 01:05:15.360
make sure I could go in and get myself maybe

728
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:19.920
some drinks or some chocolate bars or something. So i'd

729
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.440
go in, you know, like earlier in the day, what

730
01:05:22.599 --> 01:05:27.760
time you closing, I'd I'd try and get at like

731
01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:31.719
a different member of staff. I always get the same answer,

732
01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:36.440
eleven o'clock Jason. And so I thought, well, I'm going

733
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:41.239
to start doing is phoning them. So I phoned them up. Now,

734
01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:48.480
if you go somewhere regularly and then you start to

735
01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:52.039
phone them, it's a good idea to put on a

736
01:05:52.039 --> 01:05:54.679
different voice if you can, because they just knew as

737
01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:59.960
me straight away because I said to Hi, it's Jason

738
01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:02.840
from the chip shop. What time have you closed today?

739
01:06:03.400 --> 01:06:10.400
Eleven o'clock? Like every other day, it's eleven o'clock, seven eleven.

740
01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:14.360
It means seven in the morning to eleven at night,

741
01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:17.440
you know, and seem to want to know what time

742
01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:24.079
we open. We open at seven. The clues in the sign,

743
01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:31.760
the clues in the name. Thank you for calling Jason.

744
01:06:33.239 --> 01:06:35.239
Now my problem is I should have put on a

745
01:06:35.239 --> 01:06:40.800
different voice. Clearly, Hi, it's Jason from the chip shop.

746
01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:46.719
What time you close in today? See, I just didn't

747
01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:51.440
think on my feet it would be a lot easier,

748
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:56.639
but I just thought it out first, like could do

749
01:06:56.760 --> 01:07:00.800
with these recordings. I mean, you wouldn't believe that I

750
01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:04.800
spend probably six seven hours a day, you know, putting

751
01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:07.320
on his script together. What I'm going to say, and

752
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:13.000
you know, practice in for a good two hours before

753
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:20.239
I start the recording and then it sounds so natural. Wow.

754
01:07:20.400 --> 01:07:24.719
Can you imagine if I did that? Well, yeah, you

755
01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:29.719
can imagine, because it'd probably be really well presented instead

756
01:07:29.719 --> 01:07:34.880
of this whatever it is that I do. But this

757
01:07:35.119 --> 01:07:36.159
is what you get.

758
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:37.639
This is me.

759
01:07:38.639 --> 01:07:43.519
My name's Jason La la la la la l L.

760
01:07:46.119 --> 01:07:50.840
So yeah, that's it. Really, it's me talking about Sundays

761
01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:57.400
and what I had did. Church used to be open

762
01:07:57.440 --> 01:08:01.519
on a Sunday evening, I think it did. I know

763
01:08:01.519 --> 01:08:05.480
it used to be opening on a Sunday morning because

764
01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:09.760
I would often go to church with my nan, or often,

765
01:08:09.840 --> 01:08:12.840
but quite a fair few times I'd go to church

766
01:08:12.840 --> 01:08:17.319
with my nan when I was a teenager sort of

767
01:08:17.479 --> 01:08:24.279
six fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or whatever. And then we'd go

768
01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:28.199
and because there'd be a coffee place, so there'd be

769
01:08:28.199 --> 01:08:30.680
a place you could get some coffee. Or was that

770
01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:35.119
during the week. That might have been on a Wednesday.

771
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:37.479
Maybe she went to church on a Wednesday and I'd

772
01:08:37.520 --> 01:08:41.960
go to church with her. Then maybe it was a Sunday,

773
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:50.920
I'm not sure. Maybe it was a Sunday. We'd go

774
01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:55.800
and get a cup of tea and a cake, and

775
01:08:55.840 --> 01:09:00.000
then I think we'd walk back. There wasn't a cute,

776
01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:03.760
huge walker. This is a fair distance, but it wasn't

777
01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:07.359
a huge walk. Or maybe my dad would come and

778
01:09:07.399 --> 01:09:13.079
pick her up. I don't know. I don't remember exactly

779
01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:22.159
how much of this is true. I did used to

780
01:09:22.199 --> 01:09:26.399
go to quite yeah, quite a few times. I went

781
01:09:26.439 --> 01:09:31.479
to midnight Mass with her at midnight, but then they

782
01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:35.079
also had an early midnight Mass for people that couldn't

783
01:09:35.119 --> 01:09:41.279
get there, you know, for midnight, which makes sense. It

784
01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:44.279
doesn't make sense the way I said it, but some

785
01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:50.880
people it wasn't you know, walking around at midnight wasn't

786
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:54.359
really ideal. So they did like an early one at

787
01:09:54.359 --> 01:09:59.680
about seven or eight in the evening, and once one

788
01:09:59.760 --> 01:10:09.960
day got a bit older, i'd probably say from yeah,

789
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:14.359
the last twenty years, No, the last two thousand and

790
01:10:14.359 --> 01:10:27.600
four two four, wow, the last ten years, no, because

791
01:10:27.600 --> 01:10:31.359
that's the thing, because after two thousand and four. So

792
01:10:31.399 --> 01:10:33.439
I went to midnight Mass with her, but it was

793
01:10:33.560 --> 01:10:37.720
early one. It was about eight o'clock. I know my

794
01:10:37.800 --> 01:10:43.039
auntie was there and she wanted to go to her

795
01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:46.600
church because my name's a Catholic and she had our

796
01:10:46.640 --> 01:10:49.680
own church that she wanted to go to, So I'm

797
01:10:49.720 --> 01:10:53.960
not sure what it was that she went to, and

798
01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:55.600
she wanted to go to there as well to do

799
01:10:55.640 --> 01:11:03.479
the actual midnight service. And it's still one of my

800
01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:07.239
favorite Christmas is as an adult two thousand and four.

801
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:12.159
It's weird, but there's something special about it to me.

802
01:11:13.279 --> 01:11:18.239
And I was staying at my nun's house in the

803
01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:20.600
spare room, the room that I used to have for

804
01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:25.239
myself when I was eight years old. My my own

805
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:28.439
bedroom was brilliant, and I was back sleeping in there.

806
01:11:30.279 --> 01:11:33.800
My aunt and uncle were in the other room, which

807
01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:38.039
was that's where my two brothers used to sleep in

808
01:11:38.079 --> 01:11:43.199
bunk beds. And in my NaN's bedroom was where my

809
01:11:44.199 --> 01:11:47.199
parents used to sleep, so and that's where her and

810
01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:52.960
her husband, my granddad, that was their room from nineteen

811
01:11:53.079 --> 01:12:01.079
seventy nine, you know onwards. So I had that room

812
01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:04.319
for about a year, my little room. But I wasn't

813
01:12:04.359 --> 01:12:06.199
there for a year of two thousand and four, just

814
01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:10.840
there for one night, probably two or three nights. So

815
01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:12.800
because I was living in a different town, so I

816
01:12:12.920 --> 01:12:19.680
come over probably Christmas Eve because I was working, Yeah,

817
01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:24.279
I was working, So I come over Christmas Eve. I

818
01:12:24.439 --> 01:12:31.560
go out to go out to church to midnight Mass,

819
01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:34.600
but it's early with my nan because she couldn't have

820
01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:36.840
said she couldn't go to the late one. It was

821
01:12:36.840 --> 01:12:41.399
too late for by that time because she was you know,

822
01:12:41.520 --> 01:12:47.319
she had like a disability because of her hip and stuff,

823
01:12:48.079 --> 01:12:51.439
so she needed a walk and stick and stuff, so

824
01:12:51.560 --> 01:12:54.720
you know, walking around at night wasn't really ideal. Although

825
01:12:54.760 --> 01:12:58.800
she would have got a lift, you know. And then

826
01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:06.159
I say she would have got She did get a lift,

827
01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:07.760
but she would have got a lift back. It was

828
01:13:07.840 --> 01:13:11.399
late anyway, so she got a lift anyway. So we

829
01:13:11.479 --> 01:13:16.520
went up with my aunt and uncle, and then we

830
01:13:16.560 --> 01:13:19.600
came back and my aunt and uncle my Auntie wanted

831
01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:22.199
to go to the other thing, but I don't think

832
01:13:22.199 --> 01:13:24.279
they went in the end, because they spent too much

833
01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:26.600
time talking about it and discussed with were not to go.

834
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:30.640
And by that time it was Boxing day by the

835
01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:35.119
time I finished, and my Auntie did something that I've

836
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:39.079
never done before, or she sort of introduced a new,

837
01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:44.199
a new Christmas Eve thing. So she went and she

838
01:13:44.319 --> 01:13:46.880
got some presents off the tree and gave me a

839
01:13:46.920 --> 01:13:52.760
present Christmas Eve. I said, but Auntie, it's Christmas Eve.

840
01:13:53.560 --> 01:13:57.520
It's not time for presents. That's supposed to be on

841
01:13:57.640 --> 01:14:03.039
Christmas Day. Sure, she said, no, we give presents Christmas Eve.

842
01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:07.119
It's just one present off the tree. It's just something

843
01:14:07.119 --> 01:14:11.119
we do every year. But how's father Christmas delivered him?

844
01:14:11.159 --> 01:14:14.600
If he hasn't been yet, She said, you're thirty four

845
01:14:14.680 --> 01:14:21.239
years old. Shut up. Wow, it's a bit harsh, wasn't it.

846
01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:28.119
And so it was just sweets, basically, it was like

847
01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:31.479
candy you would call it maybe if you call it

848
01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:36.680
that in your country. But the thing is, I hadn't

849
01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:45.600
had any chocolate since the summer, so I'd lost a

850
01:14:45.640 --> 01:14:50.039
lot of weight on purpose because I kind of I

851
01:14:50.119 --> 01:14:53.880
needed to get fitter. So during the June two thousand

852
01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:56.720
and four, I kind of got myself nice and physically fit.

853
01:14:58.359 --> 01:15:02.399
I was working on the mental fitness as well. And

854
01:15:05.199 --> 01:15:10.000
I hadn't had any chocolate since the summer. So we're

855
01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:14.119
talking what July, August, September, October, November for at least

856
01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:19.039
four or five months. So Christmas Eve, I'm here with

857
01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:23.880
these and it was one of those chocolate things that

858
01:15:24.399 --> 01:15:30.439
sparkle on your tongue, and I was just it was heavenly.

859
01:15:31.800 --> 01:15:35.000
It was a pleasure that I just didn't realize I

860
01:15:35.079 --> 01:15:44.640
needed it was so nice. Oh and it was like

861
01:15:44.720 --> 01:15:50.520
being a kid again. It was just really because I

862
01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:53.680
remember good. I'll tell you one of the benefits of

863
01:15:53.800 --> 01:15:59.600
being of my childhood is a lot of the nice

864
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:02.359
stuff happened when I was I know, it's good to

865
01:16:02.359 --> 01:16:04.880
have nice stuff happened when you're young, when you're really young.

866
01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:08.239
But one of the benefits of it happened when it

867
01:16:08.279 --> 01:16:10.319
happens for the first time, when you're kind of seven

868
01:16:10.399 --> 01:16:14.760
or eight, is I can still remember it now. So

869
01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:18.920
certain things like chocolate that I'd never eaten before, or

870
01:16:19.039 --> 01:16:23.399
riding my first bike. You know, a lot of kids

871
01:16:23.399 --> 01:16:27.239
had their first bike when they'd I'd had two, three, four,

872
01:16:27.399 --> 01:16:29.520
you know, so my first bike was when I was

873
01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:33.920
just four as what seven I think I was, Yeah,

874
01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:37.560
was seven, So I remember that. So it's quite nice

875
01:16:37.600 --> 01:16:42.760
to have those little memories. Now. I wasn't four in

876
01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:46.199
two thousand and four or seven in two thousand and four,

877
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:51.159
but it was a little bit like that. It's like, Okay,

878
01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:53.920
this is nice, this is like a It's not that

879
01:16:53.960 --> 01:16:57.439
I'd never had it before. It it was almost like

880
01:16:57.520 --> 01:17:01.920
for the first time because I'd gone five months about

881
01:17:01.920 --> 01:17:06.039
any chocolate, and trust me, that was a long time

882
01:17:07.199 --> 01:17:09.760
for me back then to go about chocolate. I've always

883
01:17:09.800 --> 01:17:16.159
been a little bit of a chocolate e person. It's

884
01:17:16.239 --> 01:17:20.119
part of the culture in this country eating chocolate, sugar,

885
01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:25.760
all that stuff is part of the national pastime, part

886
01:17:25.760 --> 01:17:41.439
of my national identity. Stuff myself full of sugar. So yeah,

887
01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:44.359
that was just a really that was a nice Christmas. Actually,

888
01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:47.079
so I got to see my nan, got to see

889
01:17:47.119 --> 01:17:49.800
me uncle an aunt, got to see me Dad and

890
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:52.560
that side of the family because I went there for

891
01:17:52.680 --> 01:17:56.520
Christmas dinner and then went back to my NaN's in

892
01:17:56.560 --> 01:18:00.880
the evening and then had Boxing Day with my nan

893
01:18:01.000 --> 01:18:05.199
and Christmas dinner and Boxing Day dinner. So yeah, it

894
01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:09.399
was cool. That was a nice Christmas. I mean, it's

895
01:18:09.399 --> 01:18:12.399
not the only Christmas I spent at my NaN's, but

896
01:18:12.640 --> 01:18:18.239
is the most memorable one. Yeah, there was another Christmas

897
01:18:18.239 --> 01:18:22.760
I spent there in my NaN's brother was there, Uncle Antony,

898
01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:28.560
and he was I think he was a little bit

899
01:18:28.640 --> 01:18:32.079
younger than her. He was a younger brother by probably

900
01:18:32.079 --> 01:18:40.720
about four years, three or four years and maybe maybe

901
01:18:40.800 --> 01:18:44.319
older brother. I don't know. I think younger brother. I

902
01:18:44.359 --> 01:18:50.159
think I might be wrong, but marginally younger. I think

903
01:18:50.199 --> 01:18:52.479
she had about twelve brothers and sisters my name.

904
01:18:53.840 --> 01:18:54.239
And.

905
01:18:56.680 --> 01:19:01.119
He it was funny. It was not funny funny, but

906
01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:04.640
he'd watched the TV downstairs and he'd had it on

907
01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:10.000
so loud. I literally like was just there all night

908
01:19:10.159 --> 01:19:14.880
try I struggled to sleep because the TV was blaring out.

909
01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:18.279
She couldn't hear it. It's as simple as that wasn't

910
01:19:18.640 --> 01:19:21.560
what he wasn't being inconsiderate. He just couldn't hear the TV,

911
01:19:22.680 --> 01:19:25.119
so he had to turn it up in order to

912
01:19:25.159 --> 01:19:28.640
hear it. And I think my men went down there

913
01:19:28.680 --> 01:19:34.000
and told him off because she was concerned about the neighbors,

914
01:19:34.039 --> 01:19:38.680
because she always had a really good relationship with the

915
01:19:38.720 --> 01:19:43.880
next door neighbor, him and his family, or the couple

916
01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:46.199
and their family. And it was still it was the

917
01:19:46.199 --> 01:19:49.399
same next door neighbor they had that we had when

918
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:53.600
we lived there before they moved in, and we kept

919
01:19:54.039 --> 01:19:58.359
I say we, I and my family was still in

920
01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:03.600
contact with that next door I mean I was still

921
01:20:03.600 --> 01:20:10.279
in contact with that family. I was still visiting going

922
01:20:10.279 --> 01:20:16.479
around there in nineteen ninety. In fact, no, I was

923
01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:20.119
still going around there. Wow, I was still going around

924
01:20:20.159 --> 01:20:22.800
there in the early nineties. When I visit, I still

925
01:20:22.800 --> 01:20:25.960
go in there because I was friends with a boy

926
01:20:26.760 --> 01:20:28.680
and I really liked the girl. I was friends with

927
01:20:28.760 --> 01:20:32.199
her as well, and I got on well with the

928
01:20:32.279 --> 01:20:34.920
parents because I've known her since I was seven or

929
01:20:34.960 --> 01:20:39.479
eight years old, seven and a half eight, so they'd

930
01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:42.640
known me kind of almost all my life in a way.

931
01:20:43.319 --> 01:20:50.960
You think from seven and a half to twenty twenty one,

932
01:20:51.159 --> 01:20:57.079
twenty two whatever, that's a long time. And they lived

933
01:20:57.079 --> 01:21:01.159
there and they loved my well. I love my nan

934
01:21:01.239 --> 01:21:03.479
and granddad, but you know, they looked out for my

935
01:21:03.600 --> 01:21:08.000
name when she lived there on her own.

936
01:21:06.960 --> 01:21:07.359
And.

937
01:21:10.520 --> 01:21:15.720
Really nice people. It's weird. It's like, I don't want

938
01:21:15.760 --> 01:21:19.039
to sort of say too much, but I don't even

939
01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:22.960
know what this situation is anymore. But the lady that

940
01:21:23.039 --> 01:21:27.079
lived there was a nurse. I'm not sure what a

941
01:21:27.199 --> 01:21:29.479
husband did. I think he might have worked on the docks.

942
01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:36.840
And I was at school with both the kids. So

943
01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:39.760
I was at school with the boy who was the

944
01:21:39.840 --> 01:21:45.000
same age as my brother, my first older brother, and

945
01:21:45.039 --> 01:21:56.880
then his sister who was probably two years younger than me,

946
01:21:57.560 --> 01:22:03.319
maybe three years, two years probably, I don't know. I

947
01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:07.319
kind of noticed her when I was twenty I knew,

948
01:22:07.560 --> 01:22:11.079
but I kind of like suddenly it was weird because

949
01:22:11.119 --> 01:22:17.199
she was very beautiful. That's not the weird part. But

950
01:22:17.319 --> 01:22:24.560
she had a birthmark on her face, which did not

951
01:22:24.720 --> 01:22:26.439
take away her beauty, you know what I mean. She

952
01:22:26.520 --> 01:22:31.640
was a very beautiful face. And I always liked the

953
01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:33.600
rifle when I was a kid because she's, you know,

954
01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:37.520
only marginally younger than me. So I always liked her

955
01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:41.640
as a because when I was when I was ten,

956
01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:45.640
she was eight, you know. But she had it removed.

957
01:22:45.880 --> 01:22:48.640
She had the birthmark removed, and it was just like

958
01:22:48.680 --> 01:22:58.159
a brown birthmark or something. It changed her personality. So

959
01:22:58.840 --> 01:23:02.920
I'm not saying she's being sweet, because she was a

960
01:23:03.000 --> 01:23:07.079
very sweet girl. She she was still sweet in her

961
01:23:07.079 --> 01:23:16.359
own way, but she became very confident and she enjoyed

962
01:23:16.359 --> 01:23:20.079
all the attention that she was getting from the boys,

963
01:23:20.680 --> 01:23:24.840
which is natural. But to me, she didn't look any

964
01:23:24.880 --> 01:23:31.199
different really. I mean, it's only because she told me

965
01:23:31.239 --> 01:23:35.840
that she'd had it removed that I really noticed it, because,

966
01:23:35.880 --> 01:23:37.399
you know, I said, I've known her for a long

967
01:23:37.479 --> 01:23:43.039
long time, a long long time, and it's weird because

968
01:23:43.079 --> 01:23:49.079
I remember her because there was like four years between

969
01:23:49.119 --> 01:23:54.359
her and her oldest brother, she'd her oldest her oldest

970
01:23:54.359 --> 01:24:00.640
brother's friends would come around, and I remember her saying, oh,

971
01:24:00.640 --> 01:24:03.079
can I come with you? Because they'd all go out,

972
01:24:03.119 --> 01:24:05.600
and she said, no, go away, because I didn't want

973
01:24:05.640 --> 01:24:10.239
this little girl coming around. He didn't want her pestuing them.

974
01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:13.319
And the other his friends would say go away, go away.

975
01:24:13.439 --> 01:24:18.039
They didn't want a pest in them. And then when

976
01:24:18.079 --> 01:24:24.039
she was about fifteen sixteen, they didn't seem to mind

977
01:24:24.039 --> 01:24:30.880
her hanging around anymore. And I remember when I think

978
01:24:30.920 --> 01:24:37.079
she's about seventeen or eighteen, and there was literally a

979
01:24:37.279 --> 01:24:42.319
cue of men or boys trying to win her heart.

980
01:24:42.960 --> 01:24:48.680
It was seriously like knocking on the door and following

981
01:24:48.680 --> 01:24:54.960
her around like little puppies. It was very funny and

982
01:24:56.199 --> 01:24:58.640
that booster of confidence. I mean, that would have been

983
01:24:58.680 --> 01:25:11.520
happening anyway. But I guess the that personality change just

984
01:25:11.880 --> 01:25:21.960
from having one like Mark removed. One thing changed which

985
01:25:22.520 --> 01:25:30.520
made her feel different. And there's a whole book called Cybernetics. Cybernetics,

986
01:25:31.119 --> 01:25:35.560
it's a very famous book about a plastic surgeon, and

987
01:25:37.319 --> 01:25:39.960
he's written by a plastic surgeon and he noticed that

988
01:25:40.920 --> 01:25:46.199
the personality changes in people that had work done and

989
01:25:46.279 --> 01:25:54.720
how it was he couldn't believe the transformation. It could

990
01:25:54.720 --> 01:25:59.079
have not on someone's appearance, because that wouldn't surprise him,

991
01:25:59.079 --> 01:26:01.600
because that's what he did for that. He was surprised

992
01:26:01.640 --> 01:26:07.079
at the transformation and personality. And he wrote a whole

993
01:26:07.079 --> 01:26:10.680
book about it, Cybernetics, and I usued to have it.

994
01:26:10.720 --> 01:26:14.279
I've read it a few times, and it's quite a

995
01:26:14.319 --> 01:26:19.479
big book in the self help like literature library thing.

996
01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:27.000
It's cybernetics, cyber cybernetics, something like that. Yeah, it's a

997
01:26:27.039 --> 01:26:31.399
good book. It's very interesting. I mean, it kind of

998
01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:35.760
makes sense, but at the same time, it's like, really,

999
01:26:40.680 --> 01:26:45.359
maybe maybe that's why I should have done. Maybe if

1000
01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:49.000
I had a bit of surgery, I could increase my confidence,

1001
01:26:54.439 --> 01:26:57.439
have it shortened or something. You know, it's just too

1002
01:26:57.479 --> 01:27:02.119
big and I don't know, just to have my nose. Yeah,

1003
01:27:02.159 --> 01:27:12.760
but I don't know. Maybe I don't know what i'd have.

1004
01:27:13.159 --> 01:27:20.399
There's a few things I could probably do. In fact,

1005
01:27:20.399 --> 01:27:22.439
I'm pretty sure if I went to a plastic surgeon

1006
01:27:24.039 --> 01:27:29.319
and said, just list all the things that I need doing,

1007
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:36.720
we'd be there for a while. You'd have to cancel

1008
01:27:36.760 --> 01:27:39.359
all his clients for about a week, just so he

1009
01:27:39.439 --> 01:27:41.399
could list off all the things that I needed to

1010
01:27:41.439 --> 01:27:49.359
do in probably but I won't be having anything. I

1011
01:27:49.399 --> 01:27:55.720
don't think i'll have anything done in the future. I

1012
01:27:55.760 --> 01:28:02.159
don't know I could have done in the past if

1013
01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:06.319
I wanted to, didn't really, I guess the way I

1014
01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:12.359
see it is take me for what I am, take

1015
01:28:12.439 --> 01:28:18.039
me for how I am. And I'm not going to wear,

1016
01:28:19.239 --> 01:28:23.880
you know, tall shoes to make myself look taller. I'm

1017
01:28:23.920 --> 01:28:27.960
not going to dye my hair to pretend that I'm

1018
01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:31.600
not going gray. I'm not going to get a hair

1019
01:28:31.760 --> 01:28:37.279
transplant in my bald spots. Not there's anything wrong with

1020
01:28:37.359 --> 01:28:39.159
doing any of those things, but I'm just not going

1021
01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:43.600
to do any of that stuff. And I'm not going

1022
01:28:43.640 --> 01:28:50.039
to pretend I'm a different age. Things I can do,

1023
01:28:50.680 --> 01:28:58.720
I suppose practical logical things is take better care of myself,

1024
01:28:59.520 --> 01:29:07.439
eat a better diet, exercise bare Yeah, those kinds of things.

1025
01:29:10.439 --> 01:29:19.039
Basic stuff, really, isn't it. But I found that one

1026
01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:27.039
way it's shortcut with dieting. Wear bigger clothes. Seriously, if

1027
01:29:27.039 --> 01:29:30.600
you wear bigger tops, really like large tops, extra extra

1028
01:29:30.680 --> 01:29:35.640
extra large, almost looks like you've lost weight. It works.

1029
01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:42.239
I do it. I literally do that now. Although some

1030
01:29:42.319 --> 01:29:44.960
of my tops are just a bit bagger because I

1031
01:29:45.039 --> 01:29:49.680
have actually lost weight, not recently, but last year I did.

1032
01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:53.600
I lost the stone and I haven't put it back

1033
01:29:53.640 --> 01:29:57.520
on because I stopped having sugar in my tea and

1034
01:29:57.600 --> 01:29:59.960
I cut down. I stopped having I didn't don't drink

1035
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:07.680
hope anymore. And I have minimum minimum amount chocolate. I

1036
01:30:07.760 --> 01:30:09.520
used to eat chocolate every single day.

1037
01:30:11.119 --> 01:30:21.920
So yeah, and that I do believe laddies and gentlemen.

1038
01:30:24.439 --> 01:30:27.960
Is the end of this recording.

1039
01:30:29.039 --> 01:30:30.439
Me me, me, me me.

1040
01:30:32.479 --> 01:30:37.279
So thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself,

1041
01:30:37.720 --> 01:30:42.119
because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle

1042
01:30:42.119 --> 01:30:52.159
with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots of love. Bye.

1043
01:30:59.279 --> 01:31:13.840
Relax in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in

1044
01:31:13.880 --> 01:31:19.439
a way that can not just allow you to feel

1045
01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:30.039
calmer now and throughout the time we spend together here,

1046
01:31:32.079 --> 01:31:37.760
not just relaxed at the end of the recording when

1047
01:31:37.800 --> 01:31:44.479
it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort

1048
01:31:44.640 --> 01:31:59.520
and peace, But also I think it would be nice

1049
01:31:59.640 --> 01:32:19.439
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after

1050
01:32:19.520 --> 01:32:30.119
the recording has ended, so that you can still benefit

1051
01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:39.840
from listening to my voice. Maybe in a few hours

1052
01:32:40.000 --> 01:32:55.520
time perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially if

1053
01:32:55.560 --> 01:32:59.840
you find like some people do and myself as well,

1054
01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:07.359
sometimes I find one particular recording that really resonates with me,

1055
01:33:11.720 --> 01:33:14.199
and I just listen to it over and over again

1056
01:33:16.359 --> 01:33:29.359
every morning, every evening. There was this recording from We're

1057
01:33:29.399 --> 01:33:34.119
going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It was it

1058
01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:39.159
wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It kind

1059
01:33:39.199 --> 01:33:40.880
of was hypnosis, really.

1060
01:33:43.039 --> 01:33:43.520
And.

1061
01:33:45.159 --> 01:33:48.479
I managed to find it again and it still has

1062
01:33:48.520 --> 01:33:54.159
the same effect on me. And part of it was

1063
01:33:57.800 --> 01:34:08.880
the person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful,

1064
01:34:10.920 --> 01:34:17.359
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

1065
01:34:17.479 --> 01:34:28.159
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even

1066
01:34:28.920 --> 01:34:36.159
pressing the play button that as since I've done that,

1067
01:34:37.079 --> 01:34:40.520
pressed the play button. This was in the days of

1068
01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:54.760
CD players pressed the play button. In fact, it might

1069
01:34:54.800 --> 01:34:59.079
have even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down

1070
01:34:59.159 --> 01:35:11.760
on the bed and then even without necessarily listening to

1071
01:35:11.960 --> 01:35:25.079
her words because I had them memorized. Really, it was

1072
01:35:25.119 --> 01:35:35.760
as if my body knew exactly what to do, and

1073
01:35:35.920 --> 01:35:57.680
the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I

1074
01:35:57.760 --> 01:36:11.399
remember my mind would slow down now now, I was

1075
01:36:11.880 --> 01:36:19.159
listening to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,

1076
01:36:21.720 --> 01:36:29.560
and long before I ever made any videos or audio

1077
01:36:29.600 --> 01:36:34.399
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two

1078
01:36:34.399 --> 01:36:53.720
thousand and six. I knew, I knew how helpful I

1079
01:36:53.800 --> 01:37:04.079
found being able to just let go, to have that

1080
01:37:04.439 --> 01:37:17.079
trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing that

1081
01:37:17.159 --> 01:37:25.479
it's going to be just as relaxing, if not more so.

1082
01:37:28.119 --> 01:37:35.119
Each time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

1083
01:37:41.479 --> 01:37:56.079
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,

1084
01:37:56.920 --> 01:38:00.960
maybe not solidly, obviously, not only four hours a day,

1085
01:38:02.680 --> 01:38:17.399
but maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.

1086
01:38:20.960 --> 01:38:26.920
That's something that I do which you may not realize

1087
01:38:29.319 --> 01:38:47.920
by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now, for example,

1088
01:38:52.439 --> 01:39:05.960
I also am affected by the words say so, if

1089
01:39:05.960 --> 01:39:15.119
I set to you focus on your feet, notice your

1090
01:39:15.199 --> 01:39:27.159
feet relaxing. I will be focusing on my feet. I

1091
01:39:27.239 --> 01:39:45.000
will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus

1092
01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:53.399
on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between each hand,

1093
01:39:57.079 --> 01:40:03.840
Perhaps notice the the air in the room, a temperature

1094
01:40:03.880 --> 01:40:15.800
of the room. On the backs of your hands. You

1095
01:40:15.880 --> 01:40:19.960
may start to notice what almost feels like a very

1096
01:40:20.119 --> 01:40:28.479
light breeze, even though there may not be any type

1097
01:40:28.479 --> 01:40:41.399
of breeze at all where you are right now. And

1098
01:40:41.520 --> 01:40:52.720
as you become aware of your hands, I'm also aware

1099
01:40:55.399 --> 01:41:20.800
of how relaxed my hands our feeling now and when

1100
01:41:20.840 --> 01:41:27.800
it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may

1101
01:41:27.840 --> 01:41:44.199
be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when

1102
01:41:44.239 --> 01:41:57.479
I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

1103
01:42:05.359 --> 01:42:17.960
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

1104
01:42:22.840 --> 01:42:32.000
and then I carry on talking. And it's only when

1105
01:42:32.279 --> 01:42:41.359
I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring

1106
01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:50.560
and I think I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

1107
01:42:53.640 --> 01:43:00.960
Snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I sound

1108
01:43:01.079 --> 01:43:08.920
like when I snore. How I get read into a

1109
01:43:10.840 --> 01:43:29.039
whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How relaxed

1110
01:43:29.119 --> 01:43:39.199
do you feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel

1111
01:43:39.399 --> 01:44:06.000
in your hands. I have noticed more and more that

1112
01:44:06.199 --> 01:44:22.399
the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel, the

1113
01:44:22.600 --> 01:44:43.199
easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation.

1114
01:44:47.560 --> 01:45:08.520
So this allows you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing

1115
01:45:10.760 --> 01:45:36.319
on your breath however, being able to notice the ease

1116
01:45:39.760 --> 01:46:06.359
in which you breathe so naturally, you breathe so very

1117
01:46:06.600 --> 01:46:55.319
easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when

1118
01:46:55.319 --> 01:47:10.640
I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize a

1119
01:47:10.760 --> 01:47:27.359
beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that life

1120
01:47:27.479 --> 01:47:59.760
giving oxygen. And it feels nice too, if nothing else,

1121
01:48:00.199 --> 01:48:35.640
h just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that

1122
01:48:36.600 --> 01:49:27.880
feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems

1123
01:49:27.920 --> 01:50:03.399
to just drip by so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful,

1124
01:50:13.279 --> 01:51:00.439
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

1125
01:51:22.600 --> 01:52:14.560
noticing that your mind slowed down, slowed down because nothing

1126
01:52:17.359 --> 01:52:44.279
really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical sensations

1127
01:52:48.560 --> 01:53:00.319
of allowing the stress to direct out of your body,

1128
01:53:01.159 --> 01:53:24.119
to appear out of every part of your body, and

1129
01:53:24.520 --> 01:54:04.039
being released from your brain change your mind slowly but surely,

1130
01:54:10.880 --> 01:54:48.439
The muscles in your legs relax ras res so very deep.

1131
01:54:48.199 --> 01:54:59.000
Thing.

1132
01:54:58.079 --> 01:55:29.119
Reas so deeply, and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

1133
01:55:29.159 --> 01:55:53.720
your arms and shoulders deepening each part of your body

1134
01:55:57.039 --> 01:56:35.039
further and deeper and deeper, not to say the feelings

1135
01:56:35.199 --> 01:57:00.600
in the back of your neck. I feel ends in

1136
01:57:00.760 --> 01:57:49.439
your wrists, muscles, in the front of your body, I

1137
01:57:49.600 --> 01:58:33.479
will say, feeling peaceful, deeping. There's a sense of pace

1138
01:58:37.960 --> 01:59:13.399
spreads through your very Coreven.

1139
01:59:13.600 --> 01:59:33.279
When you focus on your mind, her mind becomes.

1140
01:59:39.840 --> 02:01:17.119
Be and slowven deep relaxing, very slow, your stomach pea's

1141
02:01:17.359 --> 02:01:59.840
fall in your stomach, held back. Notice. Notice how relaxed

1142
02:02:04.239 --> 02:02:42.319
you now feel in the hole of your back. A

1143
02:02:42.640 --> 02:02:51.359
spy from your brain all the way down in the

1144
02:02:51.399 --> 02:03:01.039
middle of your back, sending and receiving HM millions of

1145
02:03:01.279 --> 02:04:29.239
messages every day, deepcomfort, increasing deeply relaxed, your knees, relax

1146
02:04:33.159 --> 02:04:42.520
spreading those signals down your spine or cord into air.

1147
02:04:42.720 --> 02:05:02.159
Every part of your body sh ends in your calf, muscles,

1148
02:05:29.359 --> 02:05:58.399
your outbows, feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your

1149
02:05:58.479 --> 02:06:15.720
body HM, tips of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers,

1150
02:06:19.920 --> 02:07:05.920

02:07:21.760 --> 02:07:47.399

1152
02:07:47.680 --> 02:08:52.000

enjoy the space, this space of peace, and safety. Surery

1155
02:13:34.000 --> 02:13:58.800
letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the different

1156
02:13:59.079 --> 02:14:33.920
parts of your body, just to notice your forehead and

1157
02:14:34.159 --> 02:15:50.560
your eyes mutual, so loose, noticing the sense of complete freedom,

1158
02:15:52.680 --> 02:17:48.920
absolute freedom, day, peace form energy, pace, to breeze, so

1159
02:17:49.159 --> 02:18:59.719
much ease yea les you may you may not have

1160
02:19:00.079 --> 02:20:00.520
at tist, your mind drifting peaceful with many even more

1161
02:20:00.920 --> 02:20:25.479
deeply in the direction of total blissful pace, blisshul pace

1162
02:20:54.079 --> 02:21:44.159
directed to pace.

1163
02:22:08.440 --> 02:22:53.760
Co he said, Colm, let him go, peace.

1164
02:22:54.159 --> 02:23:39.200
Of mind, relaxed body, cy rex cy relaxed.

1165
02:24:03.600 --> 02:24:30.440
Her body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed and paceful.

1166
02:24:36.799 --> 02:25:33.799
So pace from m r Leo's fair.

1167
02:25:44.479 --> 02:25:50.760
And you could start to notice that you are feeling

1168
02:25:51.120 --> 02:26:02.479
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind

1169
02:26:03.280 --> 02:26:10.879
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

1170
02:26:10.959 --> 02:26:20.120
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down.

1171
02:26:25.040 --> 02:26:32.360
And that could be almost in recognition of I guess

1172
02:26:32.639 --> 02:26:45.200
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally

1173
02:26:46.840 --> 02:26:57.840
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

1174
02:26:57.920 --> 02:27:06.120
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

1175
02:27:06.959 --> 02:27:14.520
take a break from your life as it is, and

1176
02:27:14.600 --> 02:27:22.360
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

1177
02:27:22.440 --> 02:27:28.040
some time off and to allow your body to relax

1178
02:27:29.719 --> 02:27:37.879
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

1179
02:27:40.239 --> 02:27:50.799
releases the tension any stresses that you had in your body.

1180
02:27:51.840 --> 02:27:55.760
It's almost as if the parts of your body just

1181
02:27:56.000 --> 02:28:08.120
open up, allowing the negativity and at the same time

1182
02:28:08.879 --> 02:28:19.760
replacing that negativity with positive healing energy, which then fills

1183
02:28:19.799 --> 02:28:28.680
your body up and your mind to also starts to

1184
02:28:31.079 --> 02:28:46.079
appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,

1185
02:28:48.159 --> 02:29:02.200
positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like

1186
02:29:02.280 --> 02:29:12.559
a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just

1187
02:29:16.120 --> 02:29:24.920
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however

1188
02:29:25.000 --> 02:29:34.760
long you want it to be, to just rest and

1189
02:29:34.879 --> 02:29:44.920
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself

1190
02:29:47.760 --> 02:30:03.559
to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows

1191
02:30:03.920 --> 02:30:16.680
more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move

1192
02:30:17.200 --> 02:30:26.000
around your body and into your mind, almost as if

1193
02:30:26.040 --> 02:30:35.799
your mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring

1194
02:30:36.600 --> 02:30:49.559
each other, with that growing positivity and calmness. And it

1195
02:30:49.559 --> 02:30:57.440
feels nice, really does feel nice to know that you

1196
02:30:58.719 --> 02:31:07.280
are the one that has allowed yourself to feel more

1197
02:31:08.559 --> 02:31:25.239
comfort and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading

1198
02:31:25.280 --> 02:31:37.920
throughout your body. And as I focus on each part

1199
02:31:38.040 --> 02:31:47.760
of your body, you can notice that that part becomes

1200
02:31:49.959 --> 02:32:01.520
even more relaxed just by focusing on its even more

1201
02:32:03.680 --> 02:32:14.360
calm and comfortable just by focusing. And as I move

1202
02:32:14.760 --> 02:32:22.639
down your body, starting at your head, the parts that

1203
02:32:22.680 --> 02:32:29.959
you have already focused on will continue to relax deeply,

1204
02:32:32.719 --> 02:32:38.799
and those parts that have not yet focused on or

1205
02:32:38.920 --> 02:32:50.719
just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation of even

1206
02:32:51.120 --> 02:33:03.680
more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start

1207
02:33:03.760 --> 02:33:11.680
by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware the feelings

1208
02:33:11.719 --> 02:33:21.360
of your forehead and then your background sounds like mister

1209
02:33:21.600 --> 02:33:27.600
Herbert Opigeon can just allow you to feel even more relaxed.

1210
02:33:31.520 --> 02:33:37.639
Just means you're in the moment. This isn't this isn't

1211
02:33:37.639 --> 02:33:45.680
a sterile environment. This is the world. I live in

1212
02:33:45.719 --> 02:33:58.040
the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around. So

1213
02:33:58.120 --> 02:34:03.360
as you focus on your forehead, just notice how it

1214
02:34:03.520 --> 02:34:13.440
becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on my

1215
02:34:13.680 --> 02:34:23.239
voice and that part of your body. Moving down to

1216
02:34:23.360 --> 02:34:36.479
your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your eyelids

1217
02:34:36.559 --> 02:34:43.680
feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,

1218
02:34:46.959 --> 02:34:57.639
and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely. Moving

1219
02:34:57.719 --> 02:35:04.959
your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1220
02:35:06.120 --> 02:35:14.079
your teeth, You comes the whole of your mouth, relaxing,

1221
02:35:17.559 --> 02:35:27.879
calm and loose as you focus now on your jaw,

1222
02:35:31.239 --> 02:35:35.280
just the parts of your jaw near your mouth and

1223
02:35:35.399 --> 02:35:39.680
your chin, but all the way up the size of

1224
02:35:39.760 --> 02:35:46.479
your face to your ears, the hole of your jaw,

1225
02:35:49.079 --> 02:35:56.200
feeding more relaxed.

1226
02:36:00.079 --> 02:36:08.120
Calm.

1227
02:36:08.559 --> 02:36:17.680
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and

1228
02:36:17.719 --> 02:36:30.760
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of

1229
02:36:30.840 --> 02:36:39.799
your neck, right and left side of your neck relax

1230
02:36:40.280 --> 02:36:42.440
and loose.

1231
02:36:46.079 --> 02:36:53.200
And calm.

1232
02:36:53.360 --> 02:36:59.920
And now the back of your neck, focusing on the

1233
02:37:00.319 --> 02:37:10.760
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

1234
02:37:10.959 --> 02:37:19.879
may have been there before, and enjoying that sense of

1235
02:37:20.840 --> 02:37:31.520
increasing comfort and release that you can experience in the

1236
02:37:31.600 --> 02:37:43.879
back of your neck. Moving down your back and moving

1237
02:37:44.120 --> 02:37:48.520
either side of your spine right from the top of

1238
02:37:48.559 --> 02:37:54.159
your back all the way down to the bottom of

1239
02:37:54.200 --> 02:38:11.639
your back, down to your lower back. As you move

1240
02:38:11.840 --> 02:38:19.559
up and down your spine, you can feel the muscles

1241
02:38:20.559 --> 02:38:34.280
either side of your spine relaxing even more, and as

1242
02:38:34.360 --> 02:38:43.079
those muscles relax. That sense of comfort starts to spread

1243
02:38:43.079 --> 02:38:51.479
outwards from your spine into both sides of your back,

1244
02:38:55.239 --> 02:38:58.920
the top of your back, the middle, and your lower back.

1245
02:39:02.440 --> 02:39:09.639
And as you scan gently and slowly up and down

1246
02:39:09.799 --> 02:39:14.879
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your

1247
02:39:14.920 --> 02:39:24.920
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle

1248
02:39:24.920 --> 02:39:32.280
of your back also seem to just almost divide from

1249
02:39:32.319 --> 02:39:45.799
each other, separating and almost melting. And in your lower

1250
02:39:45.799 --> 02:39:57.360
back there seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort.

1251
02:40:02.639 --> 02:40:08.799
The spreads into your hips. Sit down your lower back,

1252
02:40:09.079 --> 02:40:17.079
into your hips, into the area where your cosicks are,

1253
02:40:20.639 --> 02:40:29.799
and into your buttocks, and always muscles that spread bring

1254
02:40:29.840 --> 02:40:39.360
your lower back into your hip area, start to melt,

1255
02:40:43.760 --> 02:40:56.120
start to really let go, and you know where about

1256
02:40:56.200 --> 02:41:02.200
to focus on your shoulders. Your back and your spine

1257
02:41:03.280 --> 02:41:20.079
will continue to let go, continue to relax so calmly.

1258
02:41:24.760 --> 02:41:30.520
As you focus on your shoulders, you may notice they're

1259
02:41:30.600 --> 02:42:01.399
already feeling really loose, They're already feeding come and fear.

1260
02:42:05.719 --> 02:42:14.079
Those muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders.

1261
02:42:20.600 --> 02:42:32.280
Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth.

1262
02:42:37.760 --> 02:42:50.040
And calm, and.

1263
02:42:50.200 --> 02:43:03.079
The feeling in your shoulders seems to spread deep into

1264
02:43:03.120 --> 02:43:13.559
your shoulders, a sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1265
02:43:13.920 --> 02:43:30.920
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

1266
02:43:31.040 --> 02:43:39.319
all the way to underneath your arms, relaxing a whole

1267
02:43:39.479 --> 02:43:44.520
area between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your

1268
02:43:44.639 --> 02:43:54.399
arms heathing.

1269
02:43:55.200 --> 02:43:55.959
You feel so.

1270
02:43:57.799 --> 02:44:11.920
Relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sense that's deep

1271
02:44:12.719 --> 02:44:33.879
healing message into your arms. You may feel almost as

1272
02:44:33.879 --> 02:44:40.680
if your arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed,

1273
02:44:43.879 --> 02:45:29.120
so deeply relaxed, so calm.

1274
02:45:14.760 --> 02:45:14.840

02:46:37.399 --> 02:47:15.239
sunlight and gentle frey sent now on your hands.

02:47:36.879 --> 02:48:09.000
Your hands so peaceful in your hands, the sense.

1280
02:48:08.680 --> 02:48:13.680
Of real pace.

1281
02:48:25.440 --> 02:48:39.200
It just seems to feel so familiar when your hands

1282
02:48:39.520 --> 02:48:47.920
relax deeply.

02:48:51.360 --> 02:50:47.959

So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down

1296
02:58:09.520 --> 02:58:17.639
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

1297
02:58:18.479 --> 02:58:24.879
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

1298
02:58:24.959 --> 02:58:34.079
and each step represents a level of comfort, each step

1299
02:58:34.639 --> 02:58:50.159
represents a deepening of that comfort, and the furvies you

1300

No.

1307
03:19:47.760 --> 03:20:00.440
As you focus on your lives, We're gonna count down

1308
03:20:00.799 --> 03:20:11.920
from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

1309
03:20:15.680 --> 03:20:24.200
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1310
03:20:25.719 --> 03:20:42.760
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1311
03:20:42.840 --> 03:20:44.120
we count down.

1312
03:20:44.040 --> 03:20:44.840
From ten.

1313
03:20:46.639 --> 03:20:58.799
Down to one, whilst focus in on your eyes, you

1314
03:20:59.479 --> 03:21:13.840
become twice is relaxed with each number counting down that

1315
03:21:14.079 --> 03:21:21.280
you may find the all you want to do is

1316
03:21:21.799 --> 03:21:31.040
just drift off to sleep, And if that's what you want,

1317
03:21:34.079 --> 03:21:47.040
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

1318
03:21:47.200 --> 03:21:54.520
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten

1319
03:21:54.879 --> 03:21:55.879
down to one.

1320
03:21:59.799 --> 03:22:09.239
Right now, two.

1321
03:22:35.479 --> 03:28:30.399
Nine eight seven four.

1322
03:28:32.559 --> 03:30:43.959
Three mossis.

1323
03:31:06.680 --> 03:31:28.040
One, So counting down from ten to one ten nine

1324
03:31:29.719 --> 03:31:57.440
eight seven six five four three two one. And maybe

1325
03:31:57.600 --> 03:32:00.479
that was a bit too quick in order to relax.

1326
03:32:01.719 --> 03:32:05.920
Maybe it's a bit too fast for you to notice

1327
03:32:06.239 --> 03:32:14.280
the calming of your body, maybe even a little bit

1328
03:32:14.360 --> 03:32:18.440
of pressure there, like you're counting down from ten to one.

1329
03:32:18.559 --> 03:32:21.920
Would you expect me to do? Man, expect me to

1330
03:32:21.959 --> 03:32:25.959
just to go with floppy just because you're counting down.

1331
03:32:31.520 --> 03:32:34.840
You could try it again, but this time I'll go

1332
03:32:34.879 --> 03:32:41.959
a bit slower this time, as you focus on the

1333
03:32:42.079 --> 03:32:46.200
whole of your body before we focus on your legs.

1334
03:32:48.680 --> 03:32:57.840
Just notice how your body does start to feel more

1335
03:32:58.280 --> 03:33:17.280
relaxed with every number that I count down ten nine

1336
03:33:23.120 --> 03:33:58.159
eight seven, six five four.

1337
03:34:05.360 --> 03:34:53.600
Three one, And just notice how.

1338
03:34:55.799 --> 03:35:05.239
How you feel generally, how your body feels. It's not

1339
03:35:05.399 --> 03:35:16.440
necessarily even about counting down from ten to one. It's

1340
03:35:16.520 --> 03:35:33.680
that space that you have, that space between being active

1341
03:35:36.040 --> 03:35:45.559
physically or mentally to just sitting or lying down, just

1342
03:35:45.799 --> 03:35:51.680
being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing

1343
03:35:51.920 --> 03:35:57.399
to think about anything. So it opens up a space,

1344
03:35:58.399 --> 03:36:07.520
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And

1345
03:36:07.639 --> 03:36:12.200
the more I came down from ten to one, the

1346
03:36:12.280 --> 03:36:20.280
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

1347
03:36:21.680 --> 03:36:37.319
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves

1348
03:36:38.920 --> 03:36:48.840
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.

1349
03:36:55.600 --> 03:36:56.559
Allows you.

1350
03:36:59.280 --> 03:36:59.760
To just.

1351
03:37:02.799 --> 03:37:09.520
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

1352
03:37:09.920 --> 03:37:20.159
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1353
03:37:20.239 --> 03:37:26.280
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

1354
03:37:26.360 --> 03:37:44.200
gap and gives you that distance, that space.

1355
03:37:46.600 --> 03:37:52.040
Now ten.

1356
03:37:56.399 --> 03:38:36.440
Nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1357
03:38:47.239 --> 03:38:47.719
Four.

1358
03:39:05.840 --> 03:39:22.799
Three two.

1359
03:39:41.120 --> 03:39:41.360
One.

1360
03:39:52.879 --> 03:39:57.280
Then how did your body feel.

1361
03:39:59.239 --> 03:39:59.399
Now?

1362
03:40:12.120 --> 03:40:24.760
Can you notice that they are feeling calmer, the feeling

1363
03:40:27.120 --> 03:40:54.520
more relaxed. As we now focus on your legs, just

1364
03:40:54.719 --> 03:41:16.079
your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs.

1365
03:41:30.879 --> 03:41:35.200
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be doing,

1366
03:41:35.959 --> 03:41:42.360
because I'm sure like most of your body is not

1367
03:41:42.399 --> 03:41:54.600
a lot going on right now. Just focusing on the

1368
03:41:54.719 --> 03:42:00.799
whole of your thighs, the tops of your fire, the

1369
03:42:01.079 --> 03:42:07.719
sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your

1370
03:42:07.840 --> 03:42:13.159
outer thighs, and your inner thighs, basically the whole of

1371
03:42:13.239 --> 03:42:21.040
your thigh that leads into your hip and it goes

1372
03:42:22.079 --> 03:42:32.159
down to your knee joint. Now, this is a big area,

1373
03:42:36.639 --> 03:42:41.600
it's a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the

1374
03:42:41.719 --> 03:42:56.399
strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs. But

1375
03:42:56.440 --> 03:43:04.840
I don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1376
03:43:10.799 --> 03:43:21.559
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1377
03:43:21.760 --> 03:43:42.360
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

1378
03:43:42.479 --> 03:43:52.920
through our lives. And it may seem sound really weird,

1379
03:43:53.040 --> 03:44:01.399
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

1380
03:44:01.520 --> 03:44:09.200
our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,

1381
03:44:10.159 --> 03:44:28.879
a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for our thighs

1382
03:44:29.120 --> 03:44:37.959
do for us. And I know this may sound a

1383
03:44:38.040 --> 03:44:44.399
bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I? Surely I

1384
03:44:44.440 --> 03:44:49.639
should be out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,

1385
03:44:53.760 --> 03:44:56.040
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.

1386
03:44:57.079 --> 03:44:59.280
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

1387
03:44:59.360 --> 03:45:03.559
outside of her in the tree. I can't see the television.

1388
03:45:03.120 --> 03:45:03.600
From the tree.

1389
03:45:10.319 --> 03:45:14.600
If you move down to your knees gain such an

1390
03:45:14.680 --> 03:45:24.360
important part. And I think we don't necessarily I'll speak

1391
03:45:24.440 --> 03:45:31.760
for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all that my

1392
03:45:31.959 --> 03:45:37.120
needs do for me until I have a problem with

1393
03:45:37.239 --> 03:45:42.360
my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever, maybe i'll bash it,

1394
03:45:42.680 --> 03:45:48.520
or it's aching for some reason. It's then that I

1395
03:45:48.680 --> 03:45:54.159
realize how much it does. You know, the benefit of

1396
03:45:54.280 --> 03:46:01.719
being able to use my legs without any kind of

1397
03:46:01.879 --> 03:46:10.239
physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated

1398
03:46:10.360 --> 03:46:21.399
until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort. But as

1399
03:46:21.440 --> 03:46:26.799
you focus on your knees, regardless of how your knees feel,

1400
03:46:29.879 --> 03:46:35.639
you can have that sense of gratitude and love to

1401
03:46:35.719 --> 03:46:48.360
your knees for all that they do for you, and

1402
03:46:48.479 --> 03:46:52.479
you can still have that attention on your thighs. Maybe

1403
03:46:52.680 --> 03:46:58.959
notice how your thighs feel, Maybe you've noticed that they

1404
03:46:59.799 --> 03:47:17.479
are are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on

1405
03:47:17.600 --> 03:47:22.159
the bottoms of your legs, your shins and your calf muscles,

1406
03:47:22.639 --> 03:47:30.319
the bones between your knees and your feet incorporate, and

1407
03:47:30.440 --> 03:47:41.360
of course your ankles so important. You know, anyone that's

1408
03:47:41.399 --> 03:47:47.440
had even like the slightest sprain of an ankle knows

1409
03:47:47.719 --> 03:47:53.719
how how much we take. Our ankles are, for granted,

1410
03:47:59.600 --> 03:48:01.600
and it's aren't it strange in a way when you

1411
03:48:01.719 --> 03:48:07.319
think that. You know, logically our wrists are a lot

1412
03:48:07.479 --> 03:48:12.280
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1413
03:48:12.399 --> 03:48:16.280
It doesn't can't see any problem with that because we're

1414
03:48:16.360 --> 03:48:22.799
just picking stuff up by our ankles so much thinner

1415
03:48:24.040 --> 03:48:32.600
than the rest of our legs. And from a physics

1416
03:48:32.680 --> 03:48:38.399
perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense that

1417
03:48:38.600 --> 03:48:46.319
all this weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles

1418
03:48:47.440 --> 03:49:00.840
then leading to your feet that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

1419
03:49:00.920 --> 03:49:06.600
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1420
03:49:06.719 --> 03:49:18.479
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, It helps

1421
03:49:18.559 --> 03:49:31.200
you to get around and be mobile. And there's the

1422
03:49:31.280 --> 03:49:39.440
calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't

1423
03:49:39.440 --> 03:49:44.840
see the point in calf muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay,

1424
03:49:45.959 --> 03:49:49.520
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles

1425
03:49:49.559 --> 03:49:53.079
get some work. But of course that's not true. The

1426
03:49:53.200 --> 03:49:57.600
calf muscles are being used whenever we use our legs,

1427
03:50:03.200 --> 03:50:15.799
and your shins there to protect your lower legs shaped

1428
03:50:15.879 --> 03:50:20.559
in a way, almost as a protector for the bone,

1429
03:50:28.159 --> 03:50:40.040
leading of course to your ankles and your feet. But

1430
03:50:40.159 --> 03:50:42.040
we're not going to focus on your feet. We're just

1431
03:50:42.120 --> 03:50:48.559
going to focus on the legs. I realize, and now

1432
03:50:48.639 --> 03:50:53.200
that I've mentioned your feet, you'll probably focus on them anyway,

1433
03:50:53.760 --> 03:50:56.319
So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.

1434
03:51:00.360 --> 03:51:04.799
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1435
03:51:04.879 --> 03:51:09.200
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1436
03:51:09.360 --> 03:51:15.079
haven't been focusing on your thighs a few minutes and

1437
03:51:15.280 --> 03:51:26.200
we're focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of

1438
03:51:29.440 --> 03:51:42.200
comfort in your thighs, and there's that movement of energy

1439
03:51:44.239 --> 03:51:51.280
because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1440
03:51:51.360 --> 03:51:56.120
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1441
03:51:56.319 --> 03:52:09.639
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of

1442
03:52:09.760 --> 03:52:15.040
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1443
03:52:15.840 --> 03:52:27.440
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1444
03:52:34.000 --> 03:52:41.520
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1445
03:52:41.559 --> 03:52:46.360
the blood, vessels, the ar trees to all this stuff

1446
03:52:46.440 --> 03:52:55.559
that inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice

1447
03:52:55.600 --> 03:52:59.840
if you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs

1448
03:53:00.559 --> 03:53:05.719
and a message, so you can message on the outside,

1449
03:53:05.879 --> 03:53:08.879
of course, and to be able to get deep into

1450
03:53:08.959 --> 03:53:13.760
the muscles and to be able to just message inside

1451
03:53:13.840 --> 03:53:20.840
your thighs, message in the bones of your leg massage

1452
03:53:20.920 --> 03:53:34.120
in or the veins, just gently healing your thighs and

1453
03:53:34.280 --> 03:53:40.840
you can move down message and inside your knees. Just

1454
03:53:41.040 --> 03:53:47.719
message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that

1455
03:53:48.120 --> 03:53:59.319
healing energy deep into the choice of your knees. Of course,

1456
03:53:59.360 --> 03:54:05.280
there's the back, Okay, you need the inside crease where

1457
03:54:05.280 --> 03:54:12.760
your need is. It's a very sensitive area, very it

1458
03:54:12.799 --> 03:54:16.680
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be

1459
03:54:16.840 --> 03:54:20.760
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

1460
03:54:22.840 --> 03:54:29.680
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1461
03:54:29.799 --> 03:54:30.760
It's almost.

1462
03:54:32.719 --> 03:54:33.479
Like a part that.

1463
03:54:35.239 --> 03:54:46.479
Has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,

1464
03:54:46.559 --> 03:54:57.040
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

1465
03:54:57.920 --> 03:55:08.239
your fingers into that crease your legs fold in between

1466
03:55:08.360 --> 03:55:13.399
your legs. You can just message with your fingertips. Imagine

1467
03:55:13.440 --> 03:55:19.799
your fingertips going inside message in the muscle or tissue.

1468
03:55:24.399 --> 03:55:28.639
You can of course feel the bones of your knees

1469
03:55:30.200 --> 03:55:40.639
heading through your fingertips, and then as you go down

1470
03:55:43.479 --> 03:55:46.280
to your calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like

1471
03:55:46.360 --> 03:55:51.079
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1472
03:55:51.840 --> 03:56:01.120
my calf muscles, message in every single tissue of the muscle.

1473
03:56:02.360 --> 03:56:10.959
Healing every part, and then doing.

1474
03:56:10.840 --> 03:56:19.200
The same for my shins, massage and generally stroking the bones,

1475
03:56:20.920 --> 03:56:26.600
generally stroking them, healing in a loving way because they

1476
03:56:26.719 --> 03:56:33.079
deserve to be treated. There's the precious bones that they are,

1477
03:56:34.440 --> 03:56:37.680
because our legs are so precious as in all the

1478
03:56:37.760 --> 03:56:43.520
other parts of our body, the more precious of anyture

1479
03:56:46.120 --> 03:57:02.120
on the planet. When you start to think about your

1480
03:57:02.280 --> 03:57:13.559
legs in this way, it can change your perspective. It

1481
03:57:13.719 --> 03:57:19.399
might sound a bit a bit silly to start with

1482
03:57:20.639 --> 03:57:27.000
the idea of having love for your legs, showing appreciation

1483
03:57:28.959 --> 03:57:34.600
for your thighs, wanting to be able to put your

1484
03:57:34.719 --> 03:57:43.000
hands in your thighs, massage the muscles and the bones,

1485
03:57:44.840 --> 03:57:50.600
and to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

1486
03:57:53.479 --> 03:58:02.079
just to show how much you care about your legs.

1487
03:58:03.079 --> 03:58:06.719
What do you care for what your legs do for

1488
03:58:06.840 --> 03:58:20.479
you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength

1489
03:58:20.639 --> 03:58:28.680
of your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to

1490
03:58:28.799 --> 03:58:35.520
the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're

1491
03:58:35.639 --> 03:58:47.920
so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are

1492
03:58:51.760 --> 03:58:56.840
truly a gift because of what they do for you

1493
03:59:02.319 --> 03:59:09.280
supporting all that weight. Regardless of how what weight you are,

1494
03:59:10.479 --> 03:59:14.959
even if you only eat ate stone, there's still a

1495
03:59:15.079 --> 03:59:21.520
lot of weight for these little ankles. Now I am

1496
03:59:21.559 --> 03:59:29.280
a lot heavier than eight stone, double dock get My

1497
03:59:29.399 --> 03:59:38.360
ankles support my body all the time. Whether they do

1498
03:59:39.200 --> 03:59:41.520
give off a sigh of relief when I sit down,

1499
03:59:43.799 --> 03:59:45.680
as you've had, my whole.

1500
03:59:45.520 --> 03:59:45.920
Legs to.

1501
03:59:49.600 --> 03:59:56.959
My feet feel also go my toes clap so happy.

1502
04:00:16.760 --> 04:00:26.360
Your legs really are amazing. I don't know they're talking about.

1503
04:00:26.879 --> 04:00:32.719
Talking about your legs is probably possibly among the most

1504
04:00:32.760 --> 04:00:38.079
the most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly

1505
04:00:40.920 --> 04:00:47.639
you're boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your

1506
04:00:47.799 --> 04:01:08.319
legs are amazing. Your legs is not just respect. They

1507
04:01:08.440 --> 04:01:21.000
deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time

1508
04:01:21.120 --> 04:01:45.280
out of the day to just let go completely relax.

1509
04:01:50.479 --> 04:02:04.040
I really can relax because the legs are so such

1510
04:02:04.079 --> 04:02:08.600
a most you know, very important part of your body.

1511
04:02:09.920 --> 04:02:13.520
When you relax legs. The rest of your body also

1512
04:02:14.799 --> 04:02:32.280
naturally follows in that journey of comfort, Like I feel

1513
04:02:32.319 --> 04:02:40.280
it in my hips. My hips feel really loose, and

1514
04:02:40.479 --> 04:02:45.399
also my lower back as well. My lower back really

1515
04:02:46.120 --> 04:02:50.719
feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting in

1516
04:02:50.840 --> 04:02:56.879
a chair and there's no stretching as far as I'm

1517
04:02:56.879 --> 04:02:59.760
aware that I'm doing. But it's almost as if the

1518
04:03:00.120 --> 04:03:03.840
sours that just relaxed so much that there is a

1519
04:03:04.040 --> 04:03:28.680
natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot. And

1520
04:03:28.799 --> 04:03:32.159
I'm now going to count down from ten down to one.

1521
04:03:36.719 --> 04:03:54.360
You can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine eight

1522
04:03:58.079 --> 04:04:06.120
seven six five.

1523
04:04:10.520 --> 04:04:14.680
Four three.

1524
04:04:18.479 --> 04:04:39.239
Two one relax. So I'm just going to count down

1525
04:04:40.760 --> 04:04:45.520
five down to one. And as a countdown, if you

1526
04:04:45.680 --> 04:04:52.559
just focus on the numbers, just the numbers counting down,

1527
04:04:53.639 --> 04:05:02.760
and notice how you feel in this moment as you

1528
04:05:02.920 --> 04:05:10.440
hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting

1529
04:05:10.520 --> 04:05:20.680
down represent you feeling calmer, not just in your body,

1530
04:05:20.840 --> 04:05:29.200
but also relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel.

1531
04:05:30.079 --> 04:05:36.000
There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing

1532
04:05:36.120 --> 04:06:13.120
to think about. Starting with number five, four three two.

1533
04:06:18.959 --> 04:06:19.159
One.

1534
04:06:28.600 --> 04:06:40.440
How as you notice the gradual letting go of the

1535
04:06:40.600 --> 04:06:48.239
tension in your body. You may also begin to notice

1536
04:06:48.360 --> 04:06:55.559
and be aware of how your mind is starting to

1537
04:06:56.920 --> 04:07:03.520
slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1538
04:07:06.120 --> 04:07:11.319
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural. Because

1539
04:07:11.479 --> 04:07:17.280
is your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax.

1540
04:07:18.920 --> 04:07:22.559
And the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1541
04:07:22.680 --> 04:07:33.200
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that

1542
04:07:34.440 --> 04:07:42.319
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

1543
04:07:42.360 --> 04:07:48.879
if there's background sounds, either your side or mine, it's

1544
04:07:49.040 --> 04:07:54.920
still going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't

1545
04:07:54.959 --> 04:07:59.879
got the television on, there's no music in the background,

1546
04:08:00.040 --> 04:08:02.680
unless you're listening to the recorded with music. Of course,

1547
04:08:07.520 --> 04:08:09.680
you're very likely not going to be sitting in a

1548
04:08:09.799 --> 04:08:12.920
room with other people. Of course you might be, but

1549
04:08:14.239 --> 04:08:17.479
generally it's more ideal if you can do this on

1550
04:08:17.600 --> 04:08:28.920
your own, so no distractions, and when you stop thinking

1551
04:08:29.000 --> 04:08:46.159
about stuff, relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts

1552
04:08:46.239 --> 04:08:55.000
to grow, and without trying to build it up into

1553
04:08:55.079 --> 04:09:07.200
something fantastical or something magical, this is just a natural process,

1554
04:09:09.559 --> 04:09:20.239
something that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1555
04:09:20.399 --> 04:09:27.239
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1556
04:09:27.440 --> 04:09:31.280
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1557
04:09:31.399 --> 04:09:43.000
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

1558
04:09:43.440 --> 04:09:53.639
the process of this recording and others is simply two

1559
04:09:55.239 --> 04:10:05.600
allow you to take advantage of this space this time,

1560
04:10:08.600 --> 04:10:19.520
to just let go, to just be here, to be

1561
04:10:20.159 --> 04:10:33.559
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

1562
04:10:35.799 --> 04:10:47.280
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,

1563
04:10:48.440 --> 04:10:53.600
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself

1564
04:10:55.360 --> 04:11:10.440
in this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority

1565
04:11:11.680 --> 04:11:16.120
of the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep

1566
04:11:16.200 --> 04:11:23.000
part is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper

1567
04:11:24.319 --> 04:11:46.559
relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. But

1568
04:11:46.719 --> 04:11:53.319
you can also if you choose stay focused on my

1569
04:11:53.520 --> 04:12:22.440
voice and really enjoy the process gradually relaxing each muscle

1570
04:12:27.040 --> 04:12:53.920
in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of

1571
04:12:54.200 --> 04:13:09.799
letting go completely. This time, I'm going to count from

1572
04:13:10.000 --> 04:13:20.200
six down to one, and you can notice your mind

1573
04:13:22.840 --> 04:13:36.239
calming down more with each number that you hear me say. Naturally,

1574
04:13:37.280 --> 04:15:11.879
feeling calm and slow, be peaceful sex five four three,

1575
04:16:39.959 --> 04:16:49.520
being aware of how your mind to slow right down,

1576
04:16:52.799 --> 04:17:15.239
sinking deeply it to really session. And as you focus

1577
04:17:15.360 --> 04:17:23.680
on your mind, you may notice that there are some

1578
04:17:24.639 --> 04:17:33.959
thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some

1579
04:17:34.239 --> 04:17:47.239
reason perhaps need your attention. So what you can do

1580
04:17:47.520 --> 04:18:05.600
is send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love,

1581
04:18:07.319 --> 04:18:11.520
my lord, petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

1582
04:18:13.000 --> 04:18:20.120
petals feel good love towards those thoughts. To let those

1583
04:18:20.360 --> 04:18:27.799
thoughts Mother, You're not abandon the number. You just need them.

1584
04:18:29.040 --> 04:18:40.959
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet down.

1585
04:18:44.639 --> 04:18:45.040
For now.

1586
04:18:52.920 --> 04:18:57.959
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts as we

1587
04:18:58.120 --> 04:19:03.360
count down this time from sex down to one. With

1588
04:19:03.479 --> 04:19:17.399
each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

1589
04:19:19.000 --> 04:19:30.840
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1590
04:19:32.319 --> 04:19:47.280
not away and relax deeply. Of every number, those thoughts

1591
04:19:47.399 --> 04:20:42.840
will become more and more relaxed. St If number seven six, five.

1592
04:20:55.760 --> 04:22:31.360
Four three one, let you.

1593
04:22:31.520 --> 04:22:56.879
Now notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body. We

1594
04:22:57.040 --> 04:23:10.719
got to focus on your hands, because the more relaxed

1595
04:23:10.879 --> 04:23:17.799
your hands on the more relax your body and mind.

1596
04:23:33.239 --> 04:23:44.799
This you focus on your hands and your fingers. There's

1597
04:23:44.879 --> 04:23:50.159
nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching the fists

1598
04:23:50.520 --> 04:24:01.600
or dance in the fingers or anything like that. It's

1599
04:24:01.879 --> 04:24:15.200
just noticing and focusing on your hands. Not to sing,

1600
04:24:15.360 --> 04:24:36.879
merely feel. Because the more relaxed do your hands feel,

1601
04:24:40.399 --> 04:24:49.399
the calm how your mind feels, and the more comforts

1602
04:24:49.559 --> 04:25:13.040
you feel throughout your body. Geez may have wardy latticed.

1603
04:25:17.319 --> 04:25:52.760
You mind is starting to dress. Said, just on your

1604
04:25:52.920 --> 04:26:11.200
hands and fingers, allowing them cheat experience a real deepening

1605
04:26:12.479 --> 04:26:27.360
of that relaxation in your hands and fingers, more and

1606
04:26:27.639 --> 04:26:46.760
more relaxed. With each number from eight down to one,

1607
04:26:51.840 --> 04:27:01.639
you can almost feel that healing, relaxing energy spread it

1608
04:27:02.879 --> 04:27:23.440
into your hands and fingers, becoming relaxing with each number

1609
04:27:25.799 --> 04:27:45.600
you hear, going down eight down to one, drifting drifted again.

1610
04:27:50.559 --> 04:31:53.200
Started with number eight, seven, three, just being here now,

1611
04:31:56.920 --> 04:32:02.959
nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,

1612
04:32:07.120 --> 04:32:18.719
and everything just feels calm. This is your natural state

1613
04:32:18.840 --> 04:32:27.280
of being. This is how you just normally feel when

1614
04:32:27.879 --> 04:32:34.959
you take away all that other stuff that we add.

1615
04:32:36.760 --> 04:32:39.399
I think that stress and what we're hear.

1616
04:32:42.319 --> 04:32:43.319
O't think.

1617
04:32:46.319 --> 04:32:58.319
Anxiety and ten ship thinking about stuff. You take that away,

1618
04:33:01.079 --> 04:33:13.439
we do now you left with a real sense of

1619
04:33:14.400 --> 04:33:26.759
peacefulness which comes to you very quickly because ansomately, it's

1620
04:33:27.040 --> 04:33:40.639
just a feeling, a feeling of comfort, almost as if

1621
04:33:40.720 --> 04:33:46.680
you've got inside yourself. You've found a special place where

1622
04:33:49.159 --> 04:34:01.319
everything is peaceful. Place week in the film relaxed and

1623
04:34:01.479 --> 04:34:10.159
your natural sense of comfort, the place where you have

1624
04:34:10.400 --> 04:34:22.360
been here we can accept yourself and you are in

1625
04:34:22.439 --> 04:34:28.360
the place where you're not trying to release anybody else,

1626
04:34:28.880 --> 04:34:41.680
in place where you can actually not just love yourself,

1627
04:34:41.799 --> 04:34:47.240
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself,

1628
04:34:49.759 --> 04:35:07.200
appreciate who you are, a sense of gratitude. See the

1629
04:35:07.400 --> 04:35:21.560
air around that's also a place where you can actually

1630
04:35:22.119 --> 04:35:36.680
feel the healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy

1631
04:35:37.639 --> 04:35:49.680
soaking into your body, A healing energy spreads through your vein,

1632
04:35:53.599 --> 04:36:06.400
traveling to each every single part of your body, and

1633
04:36:06.599 --> 04:36:13.639
you start to realize that actually that healing energy, it's

1634
04:36:13.680 --> 04:36:19.840
not just entered into your brain, it's become a part

1635
04:36:20.400 --> 04:36:31.680
of your brain, and the spinal fluid is now mixed

1636
04:36:31.759 --> 04:36:42.919
up healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so

1637
04:36:43.159 --> 04:36:47.439
much more relaxed and healthy.

1638
04:36:48.959 --> 04:36:49.880
In this moment.

1639
04:36:54.360 --> 04:37:03.799
But also we start to realize that actually, what's happening

1640
04:37:04.040 --> 04:37:12.560
now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body,

1641
04:37:14.479 --> 04:37:25.279
it's actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way

1642
04:37:25.439 --> 04:37:32.000
you're going to feel not just now, but tomorrow and

1643
04:37:32.119 --> 04:37:41.040
the next day. Because your health improves, not just your

1644
04:37:41.159 --> 04:37:48.919
physical health, but your mental health. Things that used to

1645
04:37:49.080 --> 04:37:55.200
bother you in the past, for some reason, no longer

1646
04:37:56.520 --> 04:38:04.560
have the effect that they used to because something has changed.

1647
04:38:05.639 --> 04:38:06.880
Deep within you.

1648
04:38:11.959 --> 04:38:18.360
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1649
04:38:22.200 --> 04:38:32.319
no longer have that power to control you the way

1650
04:38:32.400 --> 04:38:40.400
they seem to be able to before. As you realize

1651
04:38:41.439 --> 04:38:53.840
that you're the one who decides what affects you, you're

1652
04:38:54.360 --> 04:39:04.240
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm when

1653
04:39:05.119 --> 04:39:20.080
you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments and healing

1654
04:39:22.639 --> 04:39:31.240
continue to grow and improve your life day by day,

1655
04:39:37.080 --> 04:39:45.360
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier

1656
04:39:50.319 --> 04:39:59.880
and sleeping. It's the most natural thing in the world

1657
04:40:01.360 --> 04:40:08.840
to you because fall in the sleep is something that

1658
04:40:09.040 --> 04:40:19.880
you've done so many times in your life, and you

1659
04:40:20.080 --> 04:40:24.479
know that you were born, as we all were, with

1660
04:40:25.159 --> 04:40:35.720
the ability to fall asleep naturally. We were born with

1661
04:40:36.319 --> 04:40:48.759
that ability to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep.

1662
04:40:54.720 --> 04:40:59.759
Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep when we're done.

1663
04:40:59.759 --> 04:41:00.439
You want to.

1664
04:41:02.479 --> 04:41:06.959
Trying to think of stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday

1665
04:41:07.040 --> 04:41:11.159
in the morning, or it's Christmas or holiday or something

1666
04:41:11.240 --> 04:41:13.840
we look forward to now when I go to sleep.

1667
04:41:16.119 --> 04:41:21.080
But the more you want to stay awake, the more

1668
04:41:21.319 --> 04:41:29.639
we just start to drift. And the more you fights drifting,

1669
04:41:30.520 --> 04:41:36.319
which might stop yourself and drifting the same the depots

1670
04:41:36.439 --> 04:41:48.000
stronger thout drifting becomes because we're born not just with

1671
04:41:48.200 --> 04:41:54.639
the need to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep,

1672
04:41:57.840 --> 04:42:04.040
but it's our birth right, it's part of our DNA,

1673
04:42:11.159 --> 04:42:16.200
and sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at

1674
04:42:16.400 --> 04:42:30.759
times we have forgotten relaxing completely. It's not only a

1675
04:42:31.080 --> 04:42:55.279
wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very very

1676
04:42:55.840 --> 04:43:01.279
easy to let go because that's all it is.

1677
04:43:01.479 --> 04:43:01.959
It's just.

1678
04:43:05.479 --> 04:43:16.919
Deciding to that go. And when you press the play

1679
04:43:17.000 --> 04:43:27.159
button on my recordings, you have given a permission from

1680
04:43:27.200 --> 04:43:35.599
my voice to relection. When you press that play button,

1681
04:43:36.639 --> 04:43:45.040
you have given me permission for my words to effect

1682
04:43:48.240 --> 04:44:04.639
in a positive, only a positive way, opening up the

1683
04:44:04.799 --> 04:44:17.599
mind to useful and healing suggestions.

1684
04:44:22.159 --> 04:44:22.840
They can have.

1685
04:44:27.360 --> 04:44:34.799
Such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,

1686
04:44:39.560 --> 04:44:49.400
as well as those changes that continue long after the

1687
04:44:49.520 --> 04:44:55.639
recording ends. Those changes within.

1688
04:44:58.159 --> 04:45:08.319
The continue to flow ish and grow, transforming your.

1689
04:45:08.279 --> 04:45:22.919
Life in positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move forward

1690
04:45:23.360 --> 04:45:30.080
in your life in the direction that you choose for yourself.

1691
04:45:39.439 --> 04:45:51.159
This feeling, this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,

1692
04:45:58.959 --> 04:46:20.880
This feels nice, such a healthy place to be, and

1693
04:46:21.040 --> 04:46:38.840
that positivity grows within you in every day moving forward.

1694
04:46:42.639 --> 04:46:54.799
You had to find them more relaxed physically and didn't mind.

1695
04:46:57.360 --> 04:46:57.880
Relaxed.

1696
04:47:01.840 --> 04:47:07.040
And it's not that you're thinking slower, it's just that

1697
04:47:07.200 --> 04:47:15.119
your mind will be less clock up your unnecessary negativity

1698
04:47:19.119 --> 04:47:30.119
because from now your mind rejects negativity. From now you're

1699
04:47:30.200 --> 04:47:41.240
going to start noticing when negativity arises. You can just

1700
04:47:41.360 --> 04:47:55.759
say stop, stop and that negativity will turn around and

1701
04:47:55.959 --> 04:48:23.599
believe your life stop and then negativity disappear. And did

1702
04:48:23.680 --> 04:48:31.400
you notice that you feel way more relaxed then you

1703
04:48:31.639 --> 04:48:48.840
probably expected. Now, congratulate yourself because you're the person that

1704
04:48:48.959 --> 04:48:49.599
has done this.

1705
04:48:51.360 --> 04:48:54.520
You another one that has.

1706
04:48:54.599 --> 04:49:03.080
Opened your mind up to the simple face you can't

1707
04:49:03.479 --> 04:49:08.040
feel more relaxed in your body, end in your mind,

1708
04:49:14.279 --> 04:49:19.840
your equal, your mind up to the birthrights have.

1709
04:49:20.000 --> 04:49:21.000
Been able to just.

1710
04:49:23.840 --> 04:49:28.360
Or asleep easily when you choose.

1711
04:49:37.200 --> 04:49:40.680
That's a nice feeling, don't you think?

1712
04:49:43.479 --> 04:49:50.119
Who's nice? Doesn't that to feel calm?

1713
04:49:51.840 --> 04:49:55.240
Who let hear? The energy is spreading through your body

1714
04:49:56.360 --> 04:50:04.880
in your mind. Spend time.

1715
04:50:06.919 --> 04:50:08.479
A special place.

1716
04:50:08.560 --> 04:50:15.880
Where negativity can no longer inter.

1717
04:50:22.119 --> 04:50:27.720
Negativity is bad. It's bad. There's no one allowed.

1718
04:50:28.040 --> 04:50:35.040
Dream doesn't doesn't this doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't

1719
04:50:35.159 --> 04:50:43.720
be long here. Negativity has no place in your life,

1720
04:50:53.759 --> 04:51:08.840
which makes room from more comfort more here, relaxation, peace,

1721
04:51:25.959 --> 04:51:29.159
its nice as that it was just.

1722
