8
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.479
I've also got a Facebook group called Jason Newlands Boring

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.039
Group that you can join. I've got a YouTube channel

10

14
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.959
you very much. Today is Wednesday, the twenty third of

15
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:24.920
April two thy twenty five, and it's currently seven minutes

16
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.959
past four pm. It's quite nice out there now. It

17
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.439
was a bit a bit rainy, bit bit of a

18
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.680
rainy day, but now it is quite nice. There's some

19
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:44.359
noise and background sound from music going from downstairs. I

20
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.239
wanted to wait till it finished, but it's been going

21
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:47.879
on for a few hours now, so I'm going to

22
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.760
just do the recording anyway. Hopefully the microphone doesn't pick

23
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.719
up too much of it. It's not as loud as

24
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.879
it was earlier, so it should be fine. So what

25
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:06.840
I'm going to do is talk about I'm just going

26
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:16.479
to talk about how chronic pain can be reduced. So

27
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.120
I'm talk about twenty scientific So these are twenty scientifically

28
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:27.360
supported insights into how relaxation techniques and listening to soft

29
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:34.560
speech can alleviate chronic pain. There's now banging going on downstairs.

30
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.159
If there's too much noise, I will just do this

31
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.960
without any music in the background, but we'll see. I

32
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.560
don't know what's going on down there. Sounds that they're

33
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:51.319
rebuilding a place. So I'm just going to go through

34
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.840
this so and talk through the different things I've found

35
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.879
and give you my perspective on it, because ultimately that's

36
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.919
what this is. That's what everything I do is. It's

37
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:11.360
just me talking and hoping that by listening to me

38
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:19.960
yabbering on, I can help both distract and also influence

39
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:27.439
how you feel physically and emotionally in a positive way.

40
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.080
Whether it's the let me boy you to sleep, whether

41
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:39.000
it's the whatever it is I'm doing that is my hope.

42
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.960
So this is kind of like let me boy to sleep,

43
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:49.280
but they not really focus more on the chronic pain relief.

44
00:03:50.919 --> 00:04:00.240
So the first one is relaxation techniques reduce pain intensity out.

45
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:07.000
I discovered this myself back in two thousand and six

46
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:10.960
when I used to offer a free paying lease service

47
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:16.920
in my local town. And I'll be fair, I was

48
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.199
I didn't. It wasn't I didn't know what I was doing,

49
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.319
but I was quite new to doing it in person.

50
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.759
I'd been studying it since ninety nine, so two thousand

51
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.120
and six it was this seven years. Two thousand and

52
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.000
six was the first time I really got to sort

53
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.160
of sit down with another person, the human being, in

54
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:50.360
the same room and looking at ways to change how

55
00:04:50.399 --> 00:05:00.480
you feel. Now, I really to start with relied on

56
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:08.920
relaxation techniques and then moved into maybe a technique such

57
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:15.160
as changing the color or of the physical sensation, or

58
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.879
you know, imagining it coming out of the part of

59
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.120
your body and changing from different color to a different color,

60
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:26.199
then to a different color, maybe changing shape and maybe

61
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.360
change into ice and just letting it drop to the

62
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.399
floor and smashing and lots of different kinds of ways.

63
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:40.120
But the relaxation. Part of it was something that on

64
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:47.360
its own, without any kind of clever or even non

65
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:57.120
clever technique, was enough to change how someone felt physically.

66
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.920
No idea, what's going on downstairs. It's gonna just a

67
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:13.879
lot of banging. I don't maybe you should putting up

68
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:18.720
some furniture. You don't know that it's possible. It's possible.

69
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:27.040
You never know. So I found in my just I

70
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:32.600
couldn't really give a percentage, like, but I knew what

71
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.879
I felt, very definite. And I used to have it

72
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.800
on my website, you know, back in that time, I

73
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.680
used to have a website called Free Pain Relief dot

74
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.959
co dot uk. I don't have it anymore, but I

75
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:52.920
used to put relaxation reduces chronic pain, like as simple

76
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:59.319
as that, and I still stick to that. It tends

77
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:06.680
to do that. I think this. I'm being distracted by

78
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:15.439
the bloody drills. Now. You think, if you're going a drill,

79
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.519
use a power tool or have loud music, don't do both,

80
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.199
you know what I mean? Do one or the other,

81
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:31.920
not both. BlimE me. Uh so we'll see how this goes.

82
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.319
The music stopped, I don't think you can hear me. Surely,

83
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:45.160
no they wouldn't be able to hear me. So I

84
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:50.800
was thinking, that's kind of how it goes, like relaxation.

85
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:57.279
When someone feels relaxed, it's not just your body that's

86
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.920
feeling relaxed, it's your mind. See, you and your body

87
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:06.720
obviously is connected. So you can't have a relaxed body

88
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.360
unless the mind is relaxed, and you can't have a

89
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:16.720
relaxed mind unless your body is relaxed, and each causes

90
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.759
the other to relax more. I mean, the opposite is

91
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:28.360
also true. So one thing I never really got into

92
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:36.080
is breathing techniques, and the reason for that is really

93
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:43.480
simply because I was coming from a perspective of extreme anxiety,

94
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.600
like panic attacks and stuff like that, and I tried

95
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:55.799
relaxation techniques when I was going through the panic stuff

96
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.320
and it didn't help me. It made it. It wasn't

97
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.000
useful for me. I'm sure it's useful for a lot

98
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:06.000
of people, but for me, and the one thing I

99
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:12.480
didn't want to focus on was my breathing. So I

100
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:17.679
pretty much most of the time, I can say during

101
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:22.799
my career of it's not a career, is it, But

102
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:27.559
during my last nineteen years of doing this stuff, I

103
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:32.480
very rarely focused on breathing, other than just commenting on

104
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:42.559
my own breathing reducing, like slowing down and deepening, but naturally,

105
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.480
you know, in its own way. Not I don't generally

106
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:54.399
try and control it because it calms down anyway. And

107
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.840
even now I'm breathing's deeper because I'm more relaxed than

108
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.960
what i was before I are doing a recording, even

109
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:08.480
though there's a lot of noise coming from downstairs. Just

110
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:17.879
by talking and by focusing on this what I'm talking about,

111
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:25.240
it has it's almost like I'm listening to myself. So

112
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:29.559
for you, it'd be even more beneficial because you're not

113
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:36.159
doing the talking. So you know, ideally, I mean unless

114
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.360
you are just talking along and repeating everything I say,

115
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:44.720
which I can't imagine would be much fun. Maybe a

116
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.000
bit like that annoying kid at school, you know, just

117
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.399
walking around just repeating everything and stop repeating me, stop

118
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.200
repeating me, go away, go away. When I say that

119
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.600
annoying kid, I mean me. I used to do that.

120
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.360
I had two older brothers. I had no choice. It

121
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:06.759
was it was basically something I was born with. You know,

122
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.159
I was a kid. I was born and I had

123
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.720
these two brothers a lot bigger, a lot older than me.

124
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.600
And I said, it's not fair. I said, it's not

125
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.679
fair to my name. It's not fair. I can't what

126
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.000
I'm supposed to do. They're bigger than me, They're physically

127
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.120
a lot bigger and stronger. How am I supposed to

128
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.360
match up to them when it comes to arguments? And

129
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.600
she said, oh, but Grandson, something, you forget the magic

130
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.799
power you have being the smallest. I said, what she said,

131
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:45.480
you get to annoy them constantly. I thought, yeah, she said,

132
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:52.960
use your words carelessly, like wow. She was a bit

133
00:11:53.080 --> 00:12:02.240
like Jedi, but not as tall. When I say Jedi,

134
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.720
I'm t all about Ewok? What's the ewok? The Ewok

135
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:12.519
that taught Luke Skywalker how to dance? I forget his

136
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:23.960
name anyway, So breathing ken, I mean, I say, just

137
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:27.200
think that's a bit weird. When I got learned to

138
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:32.480
meditate back in two thousand and two onwards, for quite

139
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:36.720
a few years, so I do incorporate meditation techniques that

140
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:41.879
I've learned in what I do. I always find it.

141
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.480
I was found a little bit amusing when the meditation

142
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:49.759
teachers say they don't forget to breathe I've never once

143
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.279
forgotten to breathe my whole life, fifty four years. I've

144
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.360
never forgotten to brieth. I never had to remember to

145
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:01.000
brieve because it's a natural thing. But I've never got

146
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.799
you in the end of the day and thought I

147
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:12.000
forgot to breathe today, damn it. So yeah, I think

148
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.440
breathing it's because it's a natural thing. Focus on in it,

149
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:22.240
focus in on it for me made it a bit weird,

150
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:27.399
but it's whatever you like to do. I mean, I

151
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:32.039
can focus on my breathing now because it has slowed

152
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:37.360
down and because it feels relaxed. But if I was

153
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.360
focusing on it when it was, it wasn't. But if

154
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.679
it was sort of a bit too accentuated, a bit

155
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:49.399
too fast, I would, well, I'd be focusing on what

156
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:54.279
it was, not what it could be potentially. Now I'm

157
00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:00.360
focusing on what it is how it is now, and

158
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:09.639
it's slow, rhythmic, deep, and it might get more relaxed,

159
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.600
but I kind of don't care if it does or

160
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:18.960
if it doesn't. I I do expect it to become

161
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:29.360
more relaxed, but it's okay whatever happens, you know, So

162
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:35.399
relaxation can significantly signific I can't even say the words

163
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:47.840
significantly today, reduce physical intensity, you know other outcomes. I mean,

164
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:53.960
for me, anxiety was the reason why I started meditating

165
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:59.440
and why I learned try to learn different relaxation techniques.

166
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:04.759
There was another reason that was the main reason for me.

167
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.600
I do have chronic pain issues in my lower back

168
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:12.120
now from arthritis. I didn't have that back then, so

169
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:16.639
it was never really an issue. So yeah, I was

170
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:21.159
interested in helping people with chronic pain right from the

171
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:26.159
late nineties because I fought. When I started first started

172
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:32.399
learning hypnosis, that's the only two things that really jumped

173
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:38.240
out of me was relaxation and chronic pain relief. But

174
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.639
chronic pain relief was the biggest one out of the two,

175
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:47.159
which I mean, really they're two too connected to not

176
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:54.919
be the same thing. Really, relaxation is pain relief, and

177
00:15:55.039 --> 00:16:01.159
pain relief doesn't really happen without relaxation. You can get distraction,

178
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.960
but there's still a degree of relaxation when you're distracted.

179
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:09.639
So you can watch a really good movie, even if

180
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:15.480
it's like a tense thriller or something, you're still you

181
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.039
may be focusing on one thing, but you're you're not

182
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.279
focusing on the part of your body that maybe you

183
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:27.480
were focusing on before. And I think it's kind of

184
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.000
one of those weird things, is like it just goes

185
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:34.600
back to its normal level of focus instead of I

186
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:41.200
think sometimes with my lower back in the past, when

187
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.320
it's if it's like fifty percent, I'm giving it fifty

188
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:50.320
percent focus. It's fifty percent attention. It's not really a

189
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:59.240
problem even eighty ninety percent. I don't think that's the problem.

190
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:06.880
Even at hundred percent, it's discomfort. I My perspective is

191
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.920
chronic pain is a problem when it goes above one

192
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:16.759
hundred percent. The intensities are higher than that, so it's

193
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:20.119
not like zero to ten. Really, it's like zero to ten,

194
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:26.680
ten plus one plus two plus three twelve, thirteen, forty, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,

195
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.920
so it's eighteen out of ten, you know what I mean.

196
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:36.400
It's like it's gone over the edge, and when we're

197
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:41.039
distracted sometimes it just goes back. It can go back

198
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.359
to its normal level because not getting that attention that

199
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:53.039
we were given it before. Ye know. It's the old thing,

200
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:58.279
isn't it. Sort Of if you're in a passenger in

201
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.759
a car and you'll play a game like who can

202
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.000
spot a red car, or who can spot a mini?

203
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:07.599
Who can spot a white van? Who can you know?

204
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.799
Or it can be as obscure as you want, and

205
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.960
before you know it, you're seeing nothing but what you're

206
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:18.480
looking for, because that's what you're noticing, that's what you're

207
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:25.599
aware of, that's what your complete focus is on. And

208
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:33.319
without going into talking about physical adult enjoyment between two adults,

209
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.319
that's also part of the reason why that can be

210
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:45.160
enjoyable with two adults together, whether it's holding the hands, kissing,

211
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.720
or just just cuddling or being together, there's a sense

212
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:58.519
of heightened pleasure because it's a real focus. But I'm

213
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:02.119
pretty sure that would be different in a different situation.

214
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:09.000
So you can be on a first date and you've

215
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.839
gone back to one of each other's apartments, or maybe

216
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.799
you're sitting in a cinema and your legs are touching

217
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.240
just your legs, now other part of your body, maybe

218
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:25.160
your shoulders. Maybe you've got a bus home because you

219
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.240
didn't want to pay out for a taxi just in

220
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:34.480
case it didn't go well, that's terrible, But just that

221
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:39.599
human contact of your shoulder or your knee against their

222
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:46.119
knee because you're noticing it, maybe they're noticing it. I

223
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:58.400
don't know. It feels more physically, that sensation, that physical

224
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:05.720
feeling is heightened, like to a much higher level. So

225
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.319
but if that was just you know, once you've been

226
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:13.720
dating a while, or you know, if you were just

227
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.640
sitting having a conversation with someone else and your legs

228
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.200
and even if you completely love the person, but you're

229
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:24.160
talking to someone else, you're not going to have that

230
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:28.359
feeling because you're focusing on what you're doing there. And

231
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:33.440
maybe during a movie and the movie starts, and when

232
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.119
you focus on the movie, that physical feeling reduces a bit,

233
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.079
and then you're focus on it and you get it right,

234
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.880
it arouses, that feeling arouses I'm trying to be careful

235
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:52.640
with the word arouses, but now thinking of arousing stuff,

236
00:20:52.720 --> 00:21:00.799
so I'll stop. So I think maybe with the physical comfort,

237
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.680
it is because that's seem to go like zero to ten,

238
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:12.400
where is it? But actually I think ten is still manageable.

239
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:15.880
I don't think ten is the problem. Is when it

240
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:22.880
goes above ten, that's when it's a problem. In my

241
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:27.039
perspective of looking at the gauge. Obviously, if it's only

242
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.839
between zero and ten, then ten is the highest. But

243
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.039
I think that's that's not what happens with It's the

244
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.759
same with relaxation. It goes down to zero, but zero

245
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:43.119
is just feeling relaxed. But when you feel really relaxed,

246
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:48.599
that's way below ten. That way below zero. Sorry, that's

247
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:54.240
minus minus minus minus minus five, minus six minus seven,

248
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.920
complete comfort where you almost feel like you're floating andjoy

249
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:05.160
heavy at the same time, maybe like that body parts

250
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:09.319
not even there, so instead of feeling calm and comfortable

251
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.319
and like a zero, which would be just like maybe

252
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.240
it feels exactly how the rest of your body feels,

253
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.799
you go below that, it might feel way more relaxed

254
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.799
than the rest of your body. It might feel like

255
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:27.480
almost there's a breeze blowing through that part of your

256
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:32.200
body as it goes minus three minus four minus five,

257
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:35.640
and the rest of your body of course will follow

258
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.599
because that's just a natural thing to do. But that

259
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.680
part seems to be as you're focusing on it seems

260
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:50.880
to be much more reduced, much more relaxed than just

261
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:56.240
being a zero. And it can go down. There's no ending. Really,

262
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:02.720
it's an endless drop. It's an endless feeling of comfort.

263
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:05.160
I guess you can put your own number on what

264
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:10.160
it is, whether it's minus twelve, minus thirty, minus one hundred.

265
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:16.359
We just it goes beyond a feeling anymore. It's almost

266
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:20.839
it may almost feel spiritual. You know, everyone's got their

267
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:26.519
own idea of what that is. But it's very calming.

268
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.759
And as you go down, you also feel that in

269
00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:36.119
your mind as well as your mind not only slows

270
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:39.119
down as it goes down from like ten down to zero,

271
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:46.920
your mind slows down and then your mind empties. And

272
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:54.839
then when you go below zero, it's something else happens.

273
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:03.119
Is your mind switched off. Perhaps you'll get in that

274
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:08.559
feeling of pleasure in your mind that you would get

275
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:15.640
from years of meditating, something that maybe it could take

276
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.640
someone long time to you know, through meditation to get

277
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:23.680
to this point. But you've got to this point because

278
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:28.720
you've just allowed yourself to relax, because ultimately you're not

279
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:34.599
trying to get anything for it, because sometimes with meditation

280
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:40.680
it can be almost an achievement to I don't know,

281
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.680
like trying to get something. Not everyone, not everywhere, not

282
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:50.279
every meditation technique, but you know, whether it's trying to

283
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:56.039
create loving kindness towards other people, whether it's trying to

284
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.720
calm your breath or calm your mind, to relax your body,

285
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:06.440
whether it's just focusing on now, there's a degree of

286
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:13.400
focus with meditation, but this goes beyond focus. It's almost

287
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:19.079
when it goes below zero, it's kind of like there's

288
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:23.559
no focus anymore. In a way it might seem weird,

289
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:26.079
it's almost like you've given me the focus to take

290
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:33.119
care of and you're just left just gone down, and

291
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.480
you're relaxed, and you're calm, and you're peaceful, and you

292
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:41.079
don't need anything at all. You know that you're safe,

293
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:46.000
you know that you're healthy, you know you're fine, and

294
00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:49.440
you can just allow yourself and the rest of your

295
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:53.720
body to catch up if you want to, or you

296
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:59.880
may just enjoy having this feeling without any expectations whatsoever,

297
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:05.119
nothing that you need to do, nothing that you need

298
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:11.400
to say or think. You just are in this moment,

299
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:18.240
how you are, without any judgment, any opinions. So yeah,

300
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:26.839
it can be quite nice. So listening to soft sounds

301
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:34.079
it's really good for the brain. Whether it's listening to

302
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:43.960
me just talking, whether it's listening to soft music, it's

303
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:50.000
all about engaging your brain regions which are associated with

304
00:26:50.079 --> 00:27:00.640
that physical sensation modulation that part of your brain. Really

305
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:08.119
just your system, the various nerves in your body helps

306
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:13.720
to just calm everything down. It's almost, I think, with

307
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:21.240
something very powerful about sound, whether it's a soft voice,

308
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:30.640
whether you're taking in positive words or positive ideas that

309
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.960
are actually soaking into your mind and your body. But

310
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:41.599
whether it's music, it seems to reach more than just

311
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:46.680
your ears. It's almost like the music or the sound

312
00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:52.119
or the voice is physically reaching the parts of your body,

313
00:27:54.559 --> 00:28:01.359
which I think is quite nice. I mean, studies have

314
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:07.200
been done where demonstrations, yeah, demonstrations have been done where

315
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:13.799
twelve week program incorporated singing and breathing exercises can improve

316
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:21.319
how someone feels an overall well being with people with

317
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:26.759
physical issues, and then you've got I mean, it's a

318
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:33.079
fine line really with like guided imagery. Guided imagery is

319
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:39.319
pretty much taken from hypnosis. They call it guided imagery

320
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:42.880
because not everyone liked the idea of hypnosis in the past.

321
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:52.079
But visualizing something is when you don't need hypnosis to

322
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.279
do this, and I think that's what it is. People.

323
00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.599
You know, thirty forty years ago whenever they started doing

324
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:05.519
Guy the imagery, realize that just by imagining yourself being

325
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:10.240
in a place like a calm place. Some people that

326
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:14.920
would be lying on a beach listening to the waves

327
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.920
on the shore. Other people that might be lying in

328
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:23.799
the tent with the rain falling on a tent and

329
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:29.559
making that lovely sound. And it could be different for everyone.

330
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:35.880
Some people that could be cycling in the mountains. You know,

331
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:47.880
everyone's different. And by imagining these visual mental experiences, and

332
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:53.880
the more vivid they are, your mind doesn't seem to

333
00:29:54.079 --> 00:30:00.000
know the difference between what you're thinking and what's really

334
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:09.720
happening as far as how it responds. And sometimes it

335
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:16.440
can be nice just to close your eyes and just

336
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:23.839
imagine yourself relaxing, imagine yourself feeding really really calm, imagine

337
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:32.279
your body just melting away, and then you've got progressive

338
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:38.519
muscle relaxation PMR. I'm not really good at the whole

339
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:42.039
PMR and whatever. I just say the whole word. It's

340
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:48.559
easy for me. And this is something that is that

341
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:54.599
I kind of started doing many years ago. It's just

342
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:59.039
a standard kind of start out really focusing and there's

343
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:01.880
two different ways of doing it. I would splice, probably

344
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:05.480
more than two ways. But you can do a body

345
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:09.720
scan where you focus on the different parts of your

346
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:15.720
body without doing anything, just you know, focusing on your forehead,

347
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:22.039
focusing on your eyes, focusing on your jaw, not trying

348
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.559
to relax your forehead, not trying to relax your eyes

349
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:32.680
and not trying to relax your jaw, Focusing on the

350
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:38.240
back of your neck, your shoulders, but not trying to

351
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:44.319
relax the back of your neck or your shoulders, and

352
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:56.279
your arms, your hands, your fingers, your legs, feet, toes, chests, stomach,

353
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.720
and back, not trying to relax all those parts, but

354
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:08.480
being aware of them, just noticing them. So that's a

355
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:16.000
little bit different from the progressive muscle relaxation. And I

356
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.519
learned actually the progressive muscle relaxations from an audio I

357
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:25.119
used to listen to in about nineteen ninety nine or

358
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:29.759
ninety eight, and it was a meditation, but it was

359
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:36.240
also there was a muscle relaxation part of it. And

360
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:40.200
I like that because back in them days I was

361
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.759
a little bit I wasn't I wasn't the most relaxed

362
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:51.799
person in my twenties. So I used to just listen

363
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:57.440
to this guided relaxation session. And I used to enjoy

364
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:02.839
the progressive muscle relaxation starting from my head going all

365
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:06.400
the way down, and it was it was easier about

366
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:09.559
then because I had some muscles as well. I mean,

367
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:13.599
I don't know if they can do progressive fatty tissue

368
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:19.440
relaxation for people like me, but I find it helps.

369
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:24.440
You can do both as long as you're careful with it.

370
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:29.440
You know, don't it's because what I mean is if

371
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:33.160
you can tense the muscles and just let it go,

372
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.319
or you don't even have to do that. You can

373
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:41.039
just focus on a part of your body. So if

374
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:44.400
there's a part maybe that's injured, then just focus on it.

375
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:49.319
There's no tense or tension or anything like that. It required.

376
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.559
But then you can focus on the different parts of

377
00:33:53.599 --> 00:34:01.799
your body and instead of actually just saying to yourself

378
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:06.200
or thinking to yourself, don't try and change it. Just

379
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:09.800
allow it to be how it is, which in itself

380
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:21.000
creates relaxation. You can be a bit more proactive and say, well, okay,

381
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:31.360
I'd like my eyes to relax more, and your jaw

382
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:44.599
relaxing more, your forehead relaxes more, the back of your

383
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:53.679
neck and your shoulders relaxes more. The whole of your back,

384
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.000
from the top of your back all the way down

385
00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:04.719
to your lower back relaxes more. Your chest and your

386
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:19.679
stomach relaxes more. Your arms, hands and fingers relaxes more.

387
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:36.119
Your hips, your buttocks, and your groin relaxes more. Your thighs, knees, calfs, shins,

388
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:47.519
your ankles, feet and toes relaxes more. So that's kindly

389
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:54.400
something that I might have done, And it's pretty much

390
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:58.880
a suggestion. You could do it. You could just say

391
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:03.119
I'd like my whole body or my whole body's going

392
00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:07.280
to relax. You can do it as a question, Please

393
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:16.400
relax my whole body, Please slow down your mind, see

394
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:21.199
it whatever, and you can just ask your brain to

395
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:25.480
do this for you. And it's not like you're asking

396
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:29.920
for anything weird. You're asking for things that are good

397
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:39.599
for you. You're asking for things that are useful for you.

398
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:47.519
So these other things mindfulness based stress reduction. So there's

399
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:52.119
something quite I've learned this as well. I actually went

400
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:59.400
on a course once. It was a meditation mindful based,

401
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:03.840
mindfulness based chronic pain relief course, and it was about

402
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:08.239
teaching people but also for people with chronic pain as well.

403
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.559
And it was all based on mindfulness and that meditation,

404
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.760
and it was part of a Buddhist It was coming

405
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:23.639
up from a Buddhist perspective, but not just for Buddhists,

406
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:32.960
so it was incorporated meditation. This it didn't have any yoga.

407
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:46.000
I tried jogat once, and I didn't realize that being

408
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:51.400
stretched out on a floor and bending over in a

409
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:58.320
room full of other people, it really didn't I underestimated

410
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:02.719
the amount of noise my bum would I did, I

411
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:09.880
let out some wind and weirdly enough, because it was

412
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:11.960
quite a small room, there wasn't a lot of air

413
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:16.599
in there. There was no windows. It wasn't as funny

414
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:23.880
as you'd imagine. And my little idea of maybe we

415
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:27.440
never know, I mean, I go to I go to yoga,

416
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.360
I might because there was a few people that I knew,

417
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:33.519
you never might get to talk to them go through

418
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:40.000
tea or coffee afterwards. Yeah, that option wasn't available after that.

419
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:44.800
In fact, I had to move town. I had to move.

420
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:48.960
But other than that, it's good. But I didn't, you know,

421
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:56.079
Yoga's wasn't really for my body or my bum, but

422
00:38:56.159 --> 00:39:00.559
the meditation very much. I mean, yoga is meditation. It's

423
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:12.639
just physically it's a physical meditation. So it's with the

424
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:21.760
mindfulness based thing, very much focused on just being in

425
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:26.360
the moment, but also realizing that you can focus on

426
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:31.280
your whole body instead of just focusing on one part

427
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:37.000
of your body or you know, those parts that maybe

428
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:44.360
you've not felt very kindly towards. And there's also a

429
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:48.079
little you know, there's something to be said for making

430
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:55.239
friends with your body, being grateful, saying thank you to

431
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:58.239
the different parts of your body for everything they do

432
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:02.639
for you. Because this face that our bodies are pretty amazing.

433
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:06.880
I mean, mine doesn't look very amazing anymore, but I'm

434
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:08.920
not sure if it ever really did, but it's still

435
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:19.519
amazing what it does. So there's something about saying thank

436
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:26.599
you or making friends because it can seem I'm pretty sure.

437
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.880
I mean, there has been times in the past Vinnie's

438
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.639
trying to get my attention if I ignore him or

439
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:39.480
stop hopefully, there were times when my lower back when

440
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:41.719
I did not like, I did not like that part

441
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:46.039
of my body. Did you hear Can you hear him going?

442
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:50.840
That's Vinny? So he's at the side of me because

443
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:54.159
I'm not looking at him if I looked at him

444
00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:56.519
and start jumping up at me. Because I'm not looking

445
00:40:56.519 --> 00:41:00.000
at him, he's thinking how can I get hold of him?

446
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:03.440
It's just like he's not hearing me what's going on.

447
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:12.559
So with the I've kind of felt that I had

448
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:15.039
to I needed to make friends with my lower back

449
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:20.920
because it seemed to be turning into an enemy and

450
00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:24.880
that's not a good it's not a good way to

451
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:32.400
view a part of your body. And my hostility towards

452
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:37.760
my lower back seemed to be mirroring towards me. So

453
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:44.880
when I started to think kindly towards my lower back especially,

454
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.320
you know, in a sense of all it does for me,

455
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:51.599
all it has done for me for over a half

456
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:56.039
a century, you know, it's done a pretty good job's

457
00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:06.840
done a very good job, and that hostility reduced and

458
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:12.360
in them in the same way, the physical sensations change

459
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:24.440
as well, so you've got different guided relaxation. There's different

460
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:29.559
things you can do. I mean, there's these biofeedback machines

461
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:37.440
where you can actually control your pulse rate and you

462
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:41.239
can control things by seeing it. If you see the number,

463
00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:44.440
you know, pulse rate or whatever, just by focusing on

464
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:49.079
it going down. It can go down. It's pretty powerful stuff.

465
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:53.639
So we do have a lot more control over some

466
00:42:53.719 --> 00:43:02.079
of those automatic things. And once we the automatic system,

467
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:06.599
that part of our brain and body that does its thing,

468
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:09.320
if we let it know that maybe you would like

469
00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:21.039
more comfort, more relaxation, a more peaceful mind, a slow

470
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:27.079
down thoughts, then it maybe it will listen and get

471
00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:32.239
that to you. I tell you what I like to do.

472
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:36.079
I like to think this way is when I talk

473
00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:42.840
to people, it's not just your mind and talking to

474
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:48.679
it's also your body, and your body hears my words

475
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.599
your body. Maybe it's not the word so much. Maybe

476
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:56.519
it's the tone. Maybe it's because there are vibrations that

477
00:43:56.599 --> 00:44:02.280
go through and you know, through the air with sound

478
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:04.960
and there obviously I said a word obviously there twice

479
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:13.760
for some reason, but obviously and perhaps that's what it is,

480
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:19.159
that vibration that travels not just to your ears, but

481
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:22.320
also to the different parts of your body. And because

482
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:30.280
it's positive words, it has a positive effect on the

483
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:34.920
different parts of your body. And because we've been talking

484
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:44.199
about relaxing and all that stuff, it's kind of it

485
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:47.239
would be difficult. I think it'd be quite difficult not

486
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:52.559
to relax. You know, if you talk about and you

487
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:57.000
know what else, I noticed that I feel more relaxed

488
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:04.920
and my lower back feels more relaxed, even though the

489
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.440
only time I focus on my lower back is when

490
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:14.360
I mention it. The rest of the time, I'm focusing

491
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:18.119
on what I'm saying or I'm focusing you know, if

492
00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:21.239
I talk about my eyes, or if I talk about

493
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:31.719
relaxing your feet, I'm focusing on my feet. So there's

494
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:37.280
lots of different ways. I think in a way, the

495
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:43.480
more often we think about something, it changes the neural pathways.

496
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:47.039
I mean, this is just a just a scientific fact.

497
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:57.199
So the more you imagine the let's say, listening to me, well,

498
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:00.000
the more often you listen to me, the more relaxed

499
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:04.519
you feel, and the more comfort you feel. And then

500
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:06.480
the more often you listen to me, it is like

501
00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:11.679
you're you're kind of cutting your way through a through

502
00:46:11.719 --> 00:46:17.000
a forest, you know, and making the pathway to the

503
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:23.400
point where it's so clear and you can get to

504
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:26.679
where you want to go really quickly. You can go

505
00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:29.639
from where you are to feeling or where you were

506
00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:34.679
to feeling completely relaxed where you are now in an

507
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:39.880
instant because you've made that pathway, and each way, each

508
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:46.039
time you travel that pathway, it gets wider, the ground

509
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:50.119
gets more trampled down, so and you get to see

510
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:56.840
more things, to the point where it's almost huge pathway,

511
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:01.559
really wide, really just it's great. So that seems to

512
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:07.679
be the way it is with the brain, with neural pathways.

513
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:10.719
So it's quite nice. I quite like the idea of that.

514
00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:17.079
I mean, it is how it works. But isn't it

515
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:23.760
nice to know that there's some benefit to putting up

516
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:28.480
with me waffling on, because you know, it's like, I know,

517
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:32.320
some people maybe think, well, who is this bloke? He

518
00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:35.400
just keeps talking. I don't know what he's talking about.

519
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:40.079
He's just talking about stuff. But when you think that

520
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:47.159
it's actually helping, it's beneficial and it's useful, it's not

521
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:51.199
so bad, not so bad. In fact, it's probably better

522
00:47:51.239 --> 00:48:00.639
than that. I've actually started listening to my own recordings recently, relaxing.

523
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:05.079
It's weird. I mean, I know, you think, well, yeah,

524
00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:08.840
surely you should know it's relaxing. Yeah, I mean I

525
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:12.639
listen occasionally anyway, because it's I have to when I'm

526
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.880
doing the editing, and every now and then I listen

527
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:18.639
just to sort of see where the vibe is and

528
00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:23.440
how I am and how I sound. But I've been

529
00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:26.800
listening probably a few times a week now to the

530
00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:35.320
different recordings and always felt I always fall asleep, always

531
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:45.599
feel relaxed. Yeah, anyway, that's the end of this. Let

532
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:48.440
me boil your pain away. It's been a little bit

533
00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:50.760
different from some of the others. Everything I do is

534
00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:54.920
going to be different. It's I think it's been a

535
00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:58.199
little bit more focused, and sometimes how I do stuff,

536
00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:05.440
it's almost felt a little bit like a relaxation session,

537
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:09.239
which it wasn't supposed to be. I mean, it's good.

538
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:11.719
I always I like to think that everything I do

539
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:20.679
is ultimately a relaxation session. But this, yeah, it's felt nice.

540
00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:24.760
I feel relaxed, I feel calm. I hope that you

541
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:31.119
do too. Maybe let me know how you feel. So

542
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:35.920
I'm going to go now. Thank you for listening. Remember

543
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:39.519
to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to

544
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:47.960
be happy, and be gentle with yourself because you deserve

545
00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:55.840
to feel safe. Lots of love. Bye,
