👉 "#1434 Let Me Bore You to Sleep Q&A Friday – Jason Newland – 19th September 2025"

Impact: Listener stats dropped, and Jason fears many fans aren’t aware of the uploads' disappearance.

  • Website Changes:
    • He restored his primary site, JasonNewland.com, with 1,000 of the most recent episodes.
    • He discontinued LetMeBoreYouToSleep.com, citing confusion and redundancy.
    • Now users can stream 6 versions of each recording (e.g., with/without music, extended versions).
  • Distribution: Some syncing issues with Spotify remain.
❓Q&A SECTION HIGHLIGHTS 🔹 1. “What do you do for downtime besides walking and recording?”
  • Boxing and walking Vinnie (his dog) are daily routines.
  • TV & movies are his go-to relaxation tools—especially binge-watching series.
  • Not much time for anything else when he’s busy making recordings.
🔹 2. “Are you happy?”
  • He finds this question difficult.
  • Doesn’t provide a clear answer—seems reflective and ambiguous.
🔹 3. “Have you ever collected anything?” Jason gives an epic, sprawling answer that spans decades. Key collections include:
  • Comics as a child: The Dandy, Look-In
  • Time Out magazines in London
  • Books (science fiction, Star Trek, Wilt, beat generation, philosophy, Buddhism, psychology)
  • Stand-up comedy: LPs, videos, cassettes (George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Lenny Bruce, etc.)
  • Top Trumps cards (as a kid, but had no one to play with)
  • Hypnosis & therapy books (later tied into his professional interest)
  • Audio recordings: NLP, self-help, meditation
  • Personal journals: 45-50 handwritten journals over 25 years (sadly destroyed)
He details many transitions in life, including moving frequently, being evicted, and repeatedly losing his possessions and collections. 🔹 4. “How’s your dad?”
  • Jason says his dad is doing well, recovering energy after treatment for a health condition.
  • Recently met up with Jason and his brother.
  • Jason notes how rare it is for all of them to be together, especially outside their hometown.
🔹 5. “Have you ever done Tai Chi or Qigong? Thoughts on meditation?”
  • Yes to both, lightly practiced at a Buddhist center.
  • Strong preference for walking meditation:
    • Focuses on breath, balance, awareness of surroundings.
    • Helps manage chronic back pain.
    • Uses walking time with Vinnie as a form of mindfulness.
  • He finds seated meditation uncomfortable due to back issues.
  • Expresses appreciation for slow movement practices like Qigong and Tai Chi, especially their meditative elements.
🔹 6. “Are older British homes more haunted? Do you think your flat is haunted?”
  • Doesn’t believe in ghosts per se, but:
    • Remembers feeling uneasy in his childhood home.
    • Recounts a strange experience with a carpet rising on its own.
  • Acknowledges that there's more energy in the world than humans can perceive.
  • Mostly jokes that his flat is haunted by Vinnie (his dog) and formerly by Andre (his ferret).
  • Notes that noisy neighbors are more disturbing than ghosts.
🛒 BONUS: Mini Rant About Shampoo (1:15:30)
  • Ordered 10 bottles of shampoo via Uber Eats.
  • Only received 1 bottle.
  • Cue: "Never been so angry!"
🧘‍♂️ TONE & STYLE Jason’s style remains:
  • Meandering and reflective
  • Occasionally funny and self-deprecating
  • Deeply personal, often nostalgic
  • Gentle and soothing despite the tangents
🧠 THEMES
  • Technological frustration
  • Nostalgia and memory
  • Minimalism vs. materialism
  • Self-reflection and growth
  • Mental and physical wellness
  • Gentle humor amidst daily chaos

1
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:09.320
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason Newland,

2
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:16.640
and this is let me Bore you to sleep. It's

3
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:29.000
also que Ay Friday. It is It's cur and a Friday, everybody.

4
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:36.079
So it's Friday, the nineteenth of September two thousand and

5
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:42.960
twenty five. It is three point fifty three pm. And

6
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.920
please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

7
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.240
So before I get on with the questions, because there

8
00:00:52.280 --> 00:01:00.159
isn't many, nor many questions, very few questions today. There's

9
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:08.840
been a few problems with Apple podcasts. Just I'm not

10
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.120
laughing at I'm just it's ridiculous some of the stuff

11
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:16.519
that's I kind of don't know why. So it all started,

12
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.680
we didn't start, but and kindly let me know. Let

13
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.079
me know. This is on two days ago, that the

14
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.480
new recordings are not showing up on Apple Podcasts anymore.

15
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.319
There's no reason why they're not showing up. I couldn't

16
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.000
figure it out. So I refreshed them and did everything

17
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:43.599
I could try and do. They still weren't giving me

18
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:51.480
the latest recordings. And I really spent ages on it

19
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.159
trying to figure out what's wrong, why it wasn't working.

20
00:01:54.359 --> 00:02:00.560
And all that stuff. In the end, I had to

21
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.120
delete them or put them all into archive mode and

22
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:11.039
then re redo it on Apple Podcasts. So each podcast

23
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:20.439
I've got, which is how many podcasts, I've got one, two, three, four, five,

24
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:40.199
six No one one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,

25
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.599
So I think there's twelve podcasts. I've not done all

26
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:50.520
of them, but I've re not uploaded, but submitted, resubmitted

27
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:59.719
the twelve podcasts onto Apple Podcasts, which is kind of

28
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:08.560
like starting all over again, which is frustrating, and it

29
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:17.759
significantly affected my stats. So I guess I'm not saying

30
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:27.120
I've lost the listeners, but the listeners may not be

31
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:34.199
aware of the problems I've had with the Apple podcasts,

32
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.400
so a lot of people may just maybe thousands out

33
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.120
there that just don't know that. I have not released

34
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:47.520
any new recordings since the seventeenth, not the seventeenth, since

35
00:03:47.560 --> 00:04:02.080
the since I don't know whatever date it was, it

36
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:14.919
was about a week ago. Now I have done it,

37
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.560
redone it all whether or not it's going to work

38
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.639
or not, because I've tested them. So it's just got

39
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:27.279
a bit confused for me as well. So I've been

40
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:34.720
working on it. So what I've done is I've gone

41
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:40.399
back into it and uploaded a new version of each one.

42
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.160
So according to this, so let me boy to Sleep

43
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:50.480
is working fine now under the new one. And I

44
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:59.759
also did, oh that's not available. Okay, all right, I'm

45
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.000
gonna have to add something. So all the pages, all

46
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:08.680
the all the podcasts are now up and running. They

47
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.839
should be. What I've also done is just look, I

48
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.279
think I've kind of not only if I confuse myself,

49
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.639
but I think I've confused people with all the changes

50
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.560
that I made recently. I know this is another change,

51
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.800
but unfortunately I kind of had to do this because

52
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:33.120
Apple podcast is my main source of listeners. I'm hoping

53
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:38.959
that everyone kind of will find them. So what I've

54
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:45.160
done is my main website, Jason Newland dot com is

55
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:53.560
now up and running properly again as a podcast. So

56
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.519
if you go on there, it's got a thousand episodes.

57
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:02.160
So the latest thousand episodes are available. So there's eighty

58
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:09.879
four pages, and there's a thousand one two, three, four, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

59
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:17.360
Wonder how many in each one two, three four, And

60
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:24.079
I said, this is a thousand anyway, One two three four, ten, eleven, twelve,

61
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.920
twelve times by eighty four wherever that is? So ten

62
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.360
times by eighties, eight hundred, isn't it? So? Yeah, like

63
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.680
a thousand or whatever. I don't think it's going to

64
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.959
go all the way back to every episode. So what

65
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.160
I've done is I've made the Jason Newland dot com

66
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.319
the podcast for my hypnosis, A Sleeping Deeply, which has

67
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.439
every recording I do is on there, including all the

68
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:59.519
different versions, you know, the without music, with music, five

69
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:06.680
ten and all that stuff. So I'm not just trying

70
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:08.319
to have a look to see how far back it

71
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:14.240
goes some people in the gardens. So then he was

72
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.920
barking a minute ago, but hopefully he won't be. In

73
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.879
a minute, he'll calm down. I think he's I've closed

74
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.560
the window, but there's not much more I can really

75
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:33.959
do do. Yeah, So this, I think the thing is

76
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:42.399
with this, how many episodes? On nine and seventy episodes?

77
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:48.399
So I've got a thousand on my website. So what

78
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:49.680
I'm going to do is I'm going to put a

79
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:55.399
page where you can link to. In fact, you can

80
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.920
go to the actual website. I think via here it

81
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:13.360
should be able to subscribe Apple podcast, Apple podcast, so

82
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.839
you can go to the Apple Now it's just all

83
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.319
over the place. I don't know, but you should be

84
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.920
able to see it on spreak as well, so I'll

85
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:26.279
figure that out. I'll get it sorted. But at the moment,

86
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.759
you can actually just listen to late's recordings on there.

87
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.080
It's a podcast now like it was before. It's a

88
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.519
little bit different to before, but it is a podcast.

89
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.519
So you can just go to Jasonnewland dot com and

90
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:44.480
you can listen to six versions of the last recording,

91
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.000
or six versions of the one before that, and before

92
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:52.320
that and before that, all the way back to second

93
00:08:52.320 --> 00:09:02.399
of April this year. A thousand recordings since the second

94
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.000
of April, but that does include the six different versions,

95
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:12.120
but still quite a lot. So yeah, it makes it

96
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.039
a little bit easier. You can use it on your phone,

97
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.960
you can use it on a laptop, whichever way you

98
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.399
want to do it. And for example, I'll just play

99
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:25.320
I won't play it, but it's there. I'll put it

100
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:33.159
on mute, moot, and I'll click on it and it

101
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.480
should pull up right. It also pulls up all the

102
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:45.320
information about it as well, and there is a link hypnosis,

103
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.799
a sleeping deeply. Okay, Well it's not given me a

104
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:57.559
link to the speaker page. Well hopefully, Okay. The other

105
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.159
thing is I've got rid of the let Me Boy,

106
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:03.240
the sleep dot com website. I just figured, what do

107
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:08.679
I need two websites for one's enough? And it seemed

108
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.039
like a good idea at the time when I did it.

109
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:16.559
But if anything, I think just annoyed people because I

110
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.399
got rid of the Jasonnuland dot com, which has been

111
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:26.600
around for twenty years. And at least you knew how

112
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.120
to find me. You know, if if all the apps

113
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.480
go down or all the the podcast you know, sharing

114
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.799
platforms go down, you can at least listen to me

115
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:48.000
on my website. So it's it's handy. Does it allows

116
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:57.639
open on Spotify? Is it open on Spotify? Okay? So

117
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:04.919
it's not completely syncd up, but it's it's okay. I

118
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:08.559
think it's doing its job, and I'll try and make

119
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:14.919
a few changes along the way to update it make

120
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:19.399
it a little bit better. But that's it, really, And

121
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:31.039
what else? Why is it going so slow? Yeah? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

122
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:41.799
twelve podcasts. There's like one hundred and one shows on

123
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:48.000
my Apple podcast archived from over the last i'll BlimE me,

124
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.240
however many years. So yeah, it's the first time I've

125
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:57.600
archived before deleted stuff, but this was because it needs

126
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:02.960
to be done. I think basically Apple podcasts got confused.

127
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.480
I'm using a confused word a lot. I think maybe

128
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.480
I'm just the only one that got confused. It don't

129
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.000
take much much for the end. So I should also

130
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:21.799
say welcome to Karen who's joined Jason Newland's boring group

131
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.240
on Facebook, and if you'd like to join then please do.

132
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:31.519
That'd be brilliant. We love to have you, and that

133
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:37.120
I do believes all that information. It's you know, it

134
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.360
might be a little bit annoying. I do apologize, but

135
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.519
you know, it is what it is. It's all done now.

136
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.159
I just need to do a little bit of sinking

137
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:57.600
up and hopefully, hopefully fingers crossed when I upload this

138
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.480
it will update on the Apple Podcasts. If it doesn't,

139
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.120
I don't know what I'm gonna do. It's just gonna

140
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:14.919
I just just hope it does. Yeah. So other than that,

141
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.960
things have been a bit weird the last couple of days,

142
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.000
but I won't go into that. It's just you know

143
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:27.960
a few strange things around here. So I'm going to

144
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:34.000
start off with Ben and just apologize for the noisy

145
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:39.879
people outside. In fact, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna

146
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:41.679
draw the curtains. See if i can block some of

147
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.200
that noise out. There's still a little window opens. I

148
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.960
closed that, and I've drawn the curtains over. I've got

149
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:58.360
these sound deadening curtains. I hope that they're gonna I

150
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:05.240
don't say you make any difference. At least I'm giving

151
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.320
it a I'm giving it a try, and I'm putting

152
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:16.919
some effort in. So Ben asks me, what is Jason's downtime?

153
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.279
As he's always walking the dog by making recordings? What's

154
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.360
Jason do for himself apart from boxing? As he like

155
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.480
it's weird? Talk about it my third person. What's my downtime?

156
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:38.360
My downtime right now is wanting that noise to stop outside.

157
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:48.840
That's my main focus. Screech, squeaky's out there. So it's

158
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:57.919
very very very noisy. Okay, my downtime I do I

159
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:04.480
like to I would say boxing my downtime. But so

160
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:10.519
I'm taking Vinnie out usually three times a day. Sometimes

161
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.639
if I make a lot of recordings. I'll be you know,

162
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:17.440
there'll be days when I'll just make three recordings in

163
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.759
a day, which is a lot. Not recently, but I

164
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:26.480
have done that quite a few times. And what do

165
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:32.039
I do. I like to watch a movie, especially if

166
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.919
it's one that I've been looking forward to watching, like

167
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:40.519
a new release or a new season of a TV

168
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:50.960
show that's come out. Sometimes if I get my teeth

169
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:56.559
into a TV show, I will watch. I'm not saying

170
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.919
i'd binge watch, but I will definitely watch a of episodes.

171
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:06.440
And if I can get into it and the whole

172
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.480
seasons done and finished, I'll get through the entire lot

173
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:16.559
within you know, maybe a month. So I might end

174
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:21.159
up watching two, three, four episodes a day, but I

175
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.440
won't sit all day watching it. I'm not going to

176
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:30.320
do like eight hours straight watching TV. Generally I have

177
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:37.120
done in the past, but not not for a long time. Second, Also,

178
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:43.960
are you happy? That's a difficult question to ask. I've

179
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.159
got no idea how to answer that question. Third, have

180
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:49.720
you ever collected anything?

181
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:51.279
Oh?

182
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:57.679
I have I have. Let's go for all the things

183
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:09.160
I've collected when I was a kid. When I was

184
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.039
a kid, I used to collect, so I used to

185
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:17.480
get the two different comics every week, The Dandy and Looking,

186
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:19.960
and I used to collect them. So although i'd get

187
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.519
them every week, i'd also collect them, and sometimes i'd

188
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:25.319
get them put them all in order, sit in the

189
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:31.519
toilet or sit on the toilet. I remember once my

190
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.000
oldest brother was watching I Think the fa Cup on

191
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:42.079
a Saturday afternoon and I went into the downstairs toilet

192
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:49.079
and organized all of my comics in order, like by date.

193
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:56.599
I quite enjoyed that, and I did the same thing

194
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:03.039
when I moved to London. I time Out magazine every week.

195
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:09.920
Was it a Thursday or was it a Tuesday? But

196
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:14.039
I'd buy it every week and I had about three

197
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:18.680
years worth collected, big massive old pile. That's what one

198
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.839
hundred and fifty magazines. So yeah, I collected them for

199
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:29.599
a few years. I when I was at school, I

200
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:35.160
used to collect books. I don't think it was oh yeah,

201
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.839
I used to, I suppose, because you know, finances were

202
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:44.400
limited with school. I didn't like have a huge amount

203
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:50.000
of books, but I did have a bookshelf for of

204
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.079
paperbacks and also had hard back books and stuff as well.

205
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:02.559
And I used to collect sign fiction books for a

206
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.960
while because I want. There's a lot of rude bits

207
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:10.119
in them. It's the truth, you know. They have lots

208
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:16.319
of adult scenes in these books. And yeah, I enjoyed that.

209
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:24.680
I collected the Wilt books as well because I found

210
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:31.039
them hilarious. So Wilt is if you've never heard of Wilt,

211
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:37.680
w I l t. There's a writer they wrote, wrote

212
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:44.000
quite a few books based on this character. It's just funny.

213
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:49.720
It's really funny. What other things I used to collect

214
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.680
a lot of books. I went through a period when

215
00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:04.920
I collected and read Trek books like I was almost

216
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:09.200
obsessed with them. And these were adventures from Star Trek

217
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:13.920
like the original TV show, but not a TV show

218
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.000
that makes sense. There was like extra stories, extra adventures

219
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:23.839
which maybe is it came before Star Trek TV show,

220
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:29.920
did I don't know, Gene Roddenberry or whatever, But there

221
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.640
was loads of those. I used to read a lot

222
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:38.680
of those, especially when I was feeling anti social at

223
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:42.359
school and I didn't I go through periods when I

224
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:44.319
didn't want to be around anyone. I'd be near anyone,

225
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.920
so I would hide and read a book during lunch break.

226
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.240
So that was a thing I remember. I remember sitting

227
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:57.279
outside it was behind the because we all had these

228
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.400
form rooms where we'd have to sort of congregate the

229
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:06.440
beginning and at the beginning of the day and also

230
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.839
after lunch and maybe even like at the end of

231
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.799
the day. I can't remember, but one year I was

232
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:21.559
there and it was I think it was the science lab.

233
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.400
It's one of the science labs I was in, and

234
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.759
so it had an exit out the back as well

235
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.119
as in the front. I guess the fire exit was

236
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:36.079
stairs and everything. So I used to sit outside the back,

237
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.519
like the fire exit door and going that way, going

238
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:46.440
in out that way, because that wasn't the the exit

239
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.000
that most people used, So I'd hide and just sit

240
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:54.079
on like near the stairwell. So I just remember that

241
00:21:54.519 --> 00:22:04.160
reading reading the old Star Trek books other things. I

242
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.559
went through a period when I was when I got

243
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:16.160
into karate. Well, yeah, martial arts. I collected magazines. I

244
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:18.839
can't even remember the name of the magazines, but martial

245
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:25.599
arts magazines, martial arts books, kung fu books, exercise books,

246
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:34.319
books about Bruce Lee, various martial arts paraphernalia like nunchucks

247
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.599
and throwing stars and all the standard stuff that kids

248
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:46.079
would kind of perhaps get back then. Yeah, that's definitely

249
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:55.599
something I used to used to collect. Trying to think

250
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.160
I used to I went through a period when I

251
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:03.000
was really into Yeah, I'm just trying to think when

252
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:04.920
I was a kid, what other things I do? Oh,

253
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:10.079
I remember when I worked in the bakery when I

254
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:14.039
was a kid. The first bakery I worked in, I

255
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.519
worked all through the summer, so I was doing five

256
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:23.720
or six mornings a week. I mean I could have done,

257
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:26.480
you know, seven, but I think I probably did five

258
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:31.799
or six and every because I only worked t all,

259
00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:38.359
like lunchtime from six till twelve or something. I'd come

260
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.599
home and I'd go and buy these top Trump cards

261
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:49.480
that cost a pound or something, and I'd buy them

262
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.480
like I had to buy something. And I ended up

263
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:58.480
clickeding these and I got loads of them, but I

264
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:01.559
had no one to play them with. So it's top

265
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:07.319
Trump cars and top trunk motor bikes and top Trump

266
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:13.720
planes and stuff like that. It was kind of pointless, really,

267
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:20.799
but that's what I did. That's what I did. What

268
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:24.480
would have been useful if I had collected clothes, like

269
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:28.039
nice clothes so that I could looked, could have been

270
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:31.440
like fashionable, that would have helped me in so many ways.

271
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:35.160
That I had no idea, Like if only i'd kind

272
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:39.240
of had a clue back then, because I could have

273
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:43.160
bought myself, you know, a pair of trousers, nice pair

274
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:47.279
of shoes, your fashionable stuff on me, not like for

275
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:54.960
school as well, but something that would look good, even

276
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:58.000
like a white shirt. You know, there's a white shirt

277
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:00.839
which for school, but then you've got you can get

278
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.960
a really nice white shirt, you know, proper. You know

279
00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:08.200
this difference in clothes. I don't know why I'm trying

280
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.559
to explain that, but there was nothing wrong with the

281
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:17.319
clothes I was wearing. I just could have put a

282
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:19.799
bit of effort in myself because I could. At the time,

283
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:22.079
I had a little bit of money coming in from

284
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.039
the jobs, so that that would have been possibly a

285
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:35.359
better way to spend my money. Oh well, it matter then.

286
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:40.759
I when I got to my tea, like leaving school,

287
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.200
I did, I mean, I collected I had like quite

288
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.880
a good tape collection of music albums and stuff. So

289
00:25:53.960 --> 00:26:00.240
I had probably a couple of carrier bag falls, maybe

290
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:02.920
three carry bag falls of tapes, so there's quite a few.

291
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:08.000
But some of those were carried on from when I

292
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:10.000
was a kid as well, so I'd had a lot

293
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:16.640
of those. But then when I got to probably nineteen

294
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:29.880
eighty nine, I started collecting comedy videos, like stand up

295
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:34.519
comedy videos. In nineteen eighty nine, during in fact, it

296
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:39.759
might might have been nineteen eighty eight, it might have been,

297
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.160
but I started collecting live stand up comedy shows, live

298
00:26:44.279 --> 00:27:01.319
videos like Robin William, Steve Martin, There's so many Emo Phillips,

299
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:10.119
Steve Wright or Steven Wright, Eddie Murphy, as well as

300
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:22.160
like Burning Manning Roy, Chubby Brown, you know, Jasper Carrot.

301
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:29.480
So any comedy, live comedy show I could get, I

302
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.160
did any stand up show I would get. So I

303
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.680
had quite a nice collection of those. It wasn't so

304
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.720
much that I was collecting them. I just I suppose

305
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:47.160
I was collecting them, but it didn't Maybe yeah, I

306
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:50.960
was collecting them without realizing, not really thinking about it.

307
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:58.680
I just wanted to watch them. And then I was

308
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:07.000
still collecting Yeah, live stand up albums in nineteen eighty

309
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:10.519
nine and more videos, but that's when it turned into

310
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:15.720
a collection. So nineteen eighty nine I was buying albums

311
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:21.480
and audio tapes of stand up comedians at this point,

312
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:24.559
mainly from American stand ups that I'd never heard of.

313
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.920
I've already had stuff from Richard Pryor. So this is

314
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:38.559
nineteen ninety So I was getting stuff from and I

315
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:41.599
was going to second nd shops as well as traveling

316
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.400
up to London to get to like the big stores,

317
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:54.759
the big music stores like Verge, HMV and what's that

318
00:28:54.880 --> 00:29:00.960
other one, the other record shop, I think what it's called.

319
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.640
But there was three main record shops in the West

320
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:11.799
End of London which had its own stand up comedy section,

321
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:17.119
specifically not just for American but a lot of American stuff.

322
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.640
So I kind of discovered Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Andrew

323
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:27.839
dyas Clay, Sam Kinnerson. Then it was Roddy Dangerfield that

324
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:31.359
I already knew about anyway, because he was already famous

325
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:37.680
in this country for a long time. Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor.

326
00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:44.599
I think I already had Richard Pryce's videos and Bill Cosby.

327
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.839
I had Bill's Cosby's the one way he turns fifty

328
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:53.720
and so he's just sitting on a stool, and I

329
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:57.920
didn't realize that he had loads of albums and stuff.

330
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.799
So this is Bill Cosby. Yeah, so I had quite

331
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:05.839
a few albums of his. I had all of Richard

332
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:13.279
Pryor's albums, all of Richard Pryor's live performances, including one

333
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:18.960
that's quite quite rare. I don't know that anymore, but

334
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:28.359
it's probably on YouTube anyway. And what else. Yeah, I

335
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:32.359
had really good collection, really nice collection, and I spent

336
00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:38.720
quite a few months just pretty much all my money

337
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:41.400
went on that when I was working, and just all

338
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.119
my money went on getting new albums because I wanted to.

339
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.759
I decided to sort of try and be a comedian,

340
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:56.440
stand up comedian, and this was kind of this is

341
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:01.400
part of that compulse of thing, and this is this

342
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:06.119
is part of the whole excitement of wanting to do it.

343
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:11.079
And I suppose thinking if I listened to other people,

344
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.319
like the best comedians in the world, well some of

345
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.559
the best in the world, it would rub off on me.

346
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:24.720
But it didn't. It really didn't. But hey, it was

347
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:33.240
worth a try, wasn't it. After that, when I moved

348
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.480
so I sold all of that stuff. But then I

349
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:42.559
moved to London and I got I started collecting comedy

350
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:51.319
tapes like Richard Pryor, George Carlin. George Carlin was kind

351
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:54.599
of my favorite really for a while. It just made

352
00:31:54.599 --> 00:32:02.400
me laugh so much, but I didn't collect collect I

353
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.720
just had some. But then when I moved to London,

354
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:12.440
I really started collecting books again. I also at this

355
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:16.000
time was collecting journals that I was writing, So I

356
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:21.079
was writing journals every day and over like a twenty

357
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:26.440
five year period, I had about forty five fifty journals,

358
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:31.599
like pads full of me, my writings and my life

359
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:35.200
and my thoughts and stuff. That's all destroyed a few

360
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:41.119
years back, and I think I got really more into

361
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:47.440
buying books, collecting books, but reading them. Yeah, so anything,

362
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:54.440
not just comedy books. But I really got into the

363
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:58.000
Beach Generation. I also used to read Time Out and

364
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:00.720
find out what the latest popular book was, and I'd

365
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:03.279
ended up reading that as well, So I you know,

366
00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:08.640
I had quite a large book collection. They all just

367
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:11.160
stacked up on top of each other against the wall.

368
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:18.880
Had a lot of books and probably about twenty bin

369
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:26.759
Bag Falls and the Beach Generation. That's when I kind

370
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:36.079
of really got quite transfixed with poetry. With Anne Ginsburg.

371
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:41.680
I can't remember half of them, but a lot of

372
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:49.519
Jack Carouac, all those kinds of that generation. I was

373
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:53.000
reading their books. I can't, I can't, honestly, said I

374
00:33:53.079 --> 00:34:00.960
understood a lot of it either, And I also used

375
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:05.799
to read the poetry, some of them. Snyder was another one.

376
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.599
Some of the poetry I liked. Some of it was

377
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:16.760
a lot of it was context based, as most of

378
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:19.320
it seemed to be coming out of America in the

379
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:25.159
fifties and sixties, and I wasn't around then. I wasn't American.

380
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:28.519
I wasn't living in America in the fifties and sixties.

381
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:33.239
And I'm pretty certain even if I was in this country,

382
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:39.719
it was a different environment. You know, we were, It's

383
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:43.079
just it would have been different. So I'm never really

384
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:50.880
gonna understand the vibe, not really, but I enjoyed reading them.

385
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:58.719
And then I discovered, kind of by accident, Charles Berkowski,

386
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.480
who was his books would be put into the same

387
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:11.599
category as beat generation, and he wasn't a beatnik. He

388
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:18.400
wasn't each He's kind of like a crossover. He probably

389
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:22.400
knew some of them, and he lived like some of them,

390
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:28.440
but he wasn't he. For anyone that's read Charles Werkowski,

391
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:34.840
it's very real, almost too real, I suppose, some would say.

392
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:40.360
And that's why I liked about it. I like, yeah,

393
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:46.119
I quite quite like gritty real stuff, not as in

394
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:51.639
horrible stuff, but just I don't know someone's personal opinion.

395
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:57.400
And because he talks from a third person, so he

396
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:04.440
talks about himself, but he's not himself. It's Hank Chenesky

397
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:10.480
is the character in his books, but it's basically him.

398
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:15.960
And he also wrote because he wrote a really famous

399
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:20.480
book called post Office Women, and oh, I forget the

400
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:23.440
other one, but there was a trilogy, and he also

401
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:28.840
wrote ham On Rye and some other ones, bar Fly

402
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:35.079
and things like that. I quite liked the poetry that

403
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:44.119
he did. And yeah, so I had a large collection

404
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:47.000
of his books because it was quite prolific. So I

405
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:51.280
had a lot of his books and don't have them anymore.

406
00:36:53.559 --> 00:37:00.440
So that was me collecting early nineties comedy tapes and

407
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:07.239
then books I would say really focused on the Beat generation,

408
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:12.320
but I also had at that time, I started collecting

409
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:23.119
Buddhist books and Zen Dooism and I started reading that stuff.

410
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:26.840
So I got into that because that fitted in with

411
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:32.360
the Beat generation and the the and I just all

412
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:34.440
kind of fitted together with me, and it's something I

413
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:39.159
was interested in anyway. I quite like it if I

414
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:41.599
can find something that has an overlap to something else.

415
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:50.559
And then when I left there, I did take my

416
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:56.800
stuff with me and I ended up in moved once twice.

417
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:01.679
And then I collected more books on Buddhism, so that

418
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:06.119
was the main thing I've focused on around ninety five,

419
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:11.360
Like ninety four to ninety five, it was mainly just

420
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:19.400
Buddhist books that I collected sid I mean, I wasn't

421
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:21.440
buying loads of loads of books, but I had a

422
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:25.159
really good collection and I would read them as well.

423
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:33.239
And then in the end of ninety five I was

424
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:39.880
evicted and I basically just chucked everything out because I

425
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:52.440
couldn't take it with me. Then I I'm not sure

426
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:54.960
chucked it. I think I left it outside and dustman

427
00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:58.159
took it. They weren't supposed to do. It just happened

428
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.000
to be in black bags, as was how I traveled,

429
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:02.639
because I didn't know where I was going to take them,

430
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:05.719
and I was I think, I'm going to try and

431
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:07.880
take into my girlfriends and ask if she'd look after

432
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:12.920
them for me. Anyway, the dustman came and got them

433
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:17.239
and pretty much took most of my belongings, thinking it

434
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:20.800
was just all rubbish. So technically I didn't really chuck

435
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:32.639
it out. What else I in ninety six, nineteen ninety six,

436
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:37.039
I was kind of starting from scratch again, so I

437
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:44.559
had the only thing I really had was as far

438
00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:49.960
as belongings go, one book or two books and that

439
00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:54.280
was it, and a few clothes. So I started from

440
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:59.719
scratch in January ninety six. And by the like's Vinny

441
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:05.199
scraping his teeth on a something. Not quite sure, but

442
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:07.960
it seems happy anyway. It's not eating his dinner today

443
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:24.199
for some reason, and I, well, I do I'm trying

444
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:26.760
to think what I was going to say. Then he

445
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:32.880
just stopped, Okay. I I carried on with my writing

446
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.440
because I managed to save the journals, so that was fine.

447
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:47.840
So I still had all my journals. And then I

448
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.239
didn't buy a lot of books or anything back then,

449
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:54.039
I think because i'd lost all my book collection kind

450
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:57.800
of a few times over already at this point, I

451
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:03.239
just didn't know if there's any point. So between ninety

452
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:14.280
six and then ninety seven, I didn't really purchase much.

453
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:21.599
I didn't collect anything really at all during that period.

454
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:28.639
And I was a security guard for over a year,

455
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:34.039
and I had a girlfriend as well, so that kind

456
00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:39.159
of took up time outside of security work, and that

457
00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:43.599
was a long hours, so I didn't Apart from reading

458
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:46.400
books and stuff, I just didn't really have a lot

459
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:53.639
going on watching TV when I got home. And then

460
00:41:53.960 --> 00:42:01.800
late nineteen ninety seven, I started acting books again, but

461
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:06.920
this time is all about self help, motivation and self help,

462
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:21.920
and I blimey, he's so noisy. I do still prefer

463
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:26.760
him over this squealing and screaming outside in the garden.

464
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:31.159
I don't know, it's just I kind of just want

465
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:34.840
to hear what's inside. I know it's not realistic, but

466
00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:38.719
just just a little bit quiet, a little bit of

467
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:45.159
a little bit calm, you know, what else should I

468
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:47.719
I suppose? Like ninety seven, it was really much. I

469
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:57.239
was collecting audio recordings self help, audio recordings, motivation, zig ziglar,

470
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:08.239
meditation recordings for relaxing, and I was really trying to

471
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:15.400
figure a way for me to, I don't know, grow

472
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:23.119
as a person and become better and become calmer and

473
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:25.800
to heal. I don't know, I'm not quite sure what

474
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:29.679
it was I was looking for, but I collected lots

475
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:37.000
of books. I read lots of books, and then early

476
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:42.760
nineteen ninety eight, it's January, I bought my first two

477
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:49.480
books on hypnosis. I didn't read them straight away. I

478
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:51.480
kind of looked at them and thought I'll read them

479
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:59.360
one day, and then I did, and I thought, oh,

480
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:05.239
I did an NLP course at college, did like a

481
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:12.119
part time evening course at City University in London. And

482
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:18.159
that's when my interest was peaked more so in that

483
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:23.840
side of things because it involved hypnosis. It also for

484
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:27.800
me kind of involved therapy and you know, all the

485
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:32.480
things that I was kind of interested in. So I

486
00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:37.800
started buying loads of NLP books, all the ones I

487
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:45.920
could get, and hypnosis books blying me if anny, So yeah,

488
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:52.760
I started collecting all that stuff. And then really for

489
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:59.159
the next few years I built my hypnosis collection up.

490
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:09.800
But then in two thousand, I'm not saying I lost

491
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:17.400
interest in hypnosis, but I did. It's true, I kind of,

492
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:27.400
for some reason, I became obsessed with building websites. And

493
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:35.639
I spent the next year and a half obsessively pretty

494
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:41.119
much all day every day working on websites, learning how

495
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:45.280
to build them, how to learning the code and HTML

496
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:48.639
and all that stuff. And that was what I did,

497
00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:54.000
and I loved it, loved every second of it. And

498
00:45:54.039 --> 00:46:00.000
that's what I did. For yeah, for the pretty much

499
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:07.719
much until summertime two thousand and one, like maybe May time.

500
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:17.000
But then I was made I was evicted, so I

501
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:26.719
moved out and I didn't. Everything was kind of up

502
00:46:26.719 --> 00:46:30.239
in the air. So I still had my belongings, still

503
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:37.039
had my books, but I didn't. I was kind of

504
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:39.159
a bit aimless, to be honest, I had this. I

505
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:43.480
was forced into a sales job by the job center.

506
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:44.920
And.

507
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:50.239
It was although I was quite good, it was difficult,

508
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:57.360
very difficult to do that, and I stopped reading, I

509
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:03.679
stopped doing it any website building, I stopped being interested

510
00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:09.920
in anything during that period. And then September I moved

511
00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:13.800
to where my name was because she was ill, so

512
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:17.639
I wanted to be closer to my men, and I

513
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:21.519
had a new job again in insurance. But it's selling,

514
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:25.559
which is not really It was kind of the wrong

515
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:27.960
for me, figuring for me to get involved in really,

516
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:31.000
but at the time I didn't know what was going

517
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:34.199
to happen. I didn't, you know, I wasn't really prepared

518
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:38.840
for the outcome of putting myself in that kind of

519
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:50.960
stressful environment long term. And during that period it wasn't

520
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:53.360
so bad because I really got I no longer got

521
00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:58.079
involved but I completely stopped doing any kind of website

522
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:03.039
stuff during two thousand and like the end of two

523
00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:10.079
thousand and one, two thousand and two, and I would

524
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:16.239
say even most of two thousand and three. Then two

525
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:18.679
thousand and four I picked it up. I picked it

526
00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:21.199
up again, maybe two thousand and three I picked it

527
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:24.079
up again. But I didn't do anything for a couple

528
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:32.159
of years website wise. But I did collect hypnosis books

529
00:48:33.559 --> 00:48:39.599
like a lot. I had a huge library of hypnosis books,

530
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:48.719
plus psychology books, counseling books. And this was a long time,

531
00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:52.119
like six years, five six years before I even started

532
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:57.920
thinking about becoming a counselor. I was just interested in therapy,

533
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:05.719
interested in how to helping others, but I guess also

534
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:12.840
figuring a way to help myself maybe, So that's kind

535
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:16.280
of where I was there. And I'd a big, big

536
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:24.280
book collection, and that book collection continued right the way

537
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:31.679
until two thousand and seven November, and I had all

538
00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:37.199
these bookcases in this place I lived. Even I found

539
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:40.519
it quite impressive the amount of books I had, because

540
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:46.039
it was very looked, very professional, the setup I had,

541
00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:49.519
and I was doing videos with these bookcases and all

542
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:55.400
these books behind me on psychology and hypnosis and psychotherapy

543
00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:59.000
and all this stuff behind me is like, yeah, I

544
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:02.679
wonder how many people full as if I know something

545
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:12.280
of Oh, and then I moved. I also I had videos,

546
00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:16.800
I had audios, I had CDs DVDs of hypnosis stuff

547
00:50:16.920 --> 00:50:22.480
courses as well as having done courses like live in

548
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:28.760
person as well. So I moved into a tiny room

549
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:36.400
when I was at college, and I had to get

550
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:38.159
rid of some of the books because it was too

551
00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:41.519
many too. It was literally I had all these these

552
00:50:41.599 --> 00:50:46.039
big containers full of books that was taken up half

553
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:49.280
the room. I wasn't going to get rid of the

554
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:55.400
hypnosis books. I couldn't be getting rid of the therapy

555
00:50:55.440 --> 00:50:59.280
books because I was studying counsel in the therapy. So

556
00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:04.159
why ended up doing is getting rid of all of

557
00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:09.679
the I also used to collect. I had quite quite

558
00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:15.480
a large collection of Buddhist books as well, probably about

559
00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:19.599
fifty or sixty Buddhist books, maybe one hundred, there's quite

560
00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:23.960
a lot. Anyway, I donated them to the Buddhist Center,

561
00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:32.400
and then I gave away all of my philosophy books,

562
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:36.079
which again I had a big collection of like philosophy

563
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:40.880
and not just philosophy but things that kind of minded,

564
00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:43.599
you know. So I got rid of all of those,

565
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:52.840
gave them to a second hand shop, and then that

566
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:56.800
kind of I kind of halfed not I don't say

567
00:51:56.880 --> 00:52:00.599
half my book collection, but there was also all the

568
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:08.199
other stuff like about creativity and really anything that wasn't

569
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:13.360
to do with hypnosis or therapy I got rid of,

570
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:21.840
which cut down my book collection by probably behalf, maybe

571
00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:25.800
a quarter, maybe I knocked a quarter off of it.

572
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:38.280
And then I moved again. Then I moved again, and

573
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:40.599
that was the place before I moved in here, and

574
00:52:40.639 --> 00:52:44.199
that was even smaller, well probably not smaller, but it

575
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:49.199
was damp. My books were starting to rot. I don't know,

576
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:55.000
it's not good. And I had a bit of a thing,

577
00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:57.760
a bit of an episode, and I actually destroyed it,

578
00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:01.800
all of my books apart from one, which was The

579
00:53:03.960 --> 00:53:08.360
Teachings of the Buddha, which I've had for probably since

580
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:13.199
about nineteen ninety two, so I've had that book for

581
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:20.400
quite a while. That's the only surviving book. So yeah,

582
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:23.360
that was kind of That was probably the biggest collection

583
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:27.519
I had was probably hypnosis books, but I also had

584
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:36.280
a pretty healthy Buddhist collection as well. There wasn't even

585
00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:38.559
enough room on the shelves in a Buddhist center to

586
00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:43.440
put them on because there was so many. So other

587
00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:45.920
than that, trying to think of any other things that

588
00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:55.119
I've collected recently over the last few years, the last

589
00:53:55.400 --> 00:54:02.039
ten years, I can't think of anything. So that's kind

590
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:05.039
of really it. Books seems to be the main thing.

591
00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:11.840
Number Four, How is your dad? So my dad he's

592
00:54:11.880 --> 00:54:16.440
doing all right. I saw him last weekend. He came

593
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:19.760
up to see me and with my little brother, so

594
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:25.880
he had lunch around the corner and he's, you know,

595
00:54:26.119 --> 00:54:29.119
he's he had some treatment and stuff for a condition.

596
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:36.199
He's getting his energy back, and he seems to be

597
00:54:36.239 --> 00:54:39.000
doing well. It seems to be positive and seems to

598
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:42.519
be doing good. And I think he enjoyed sort of

599
00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:45.880
spending time with two of his sons together at the

600
00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:53.880
same time out which is only kind of that hasn't happened,

601
00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:57.840
doesn't happen too often, although it did happen just before Christmas,

602
00:54:58.800 --> 00:55:04.679
But that was the first time dead outside of the

603
00:55:04.679 --> 00:55:07.400
town that he lives as the first that's the city's

604
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:13.840
the second time pretty much in decades that we've all

605
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:19.760
kind of got together. So that was nice. But yeah,

606
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:26.760
it seems to be doing good. Maria asks, with your

607
00:55:26.800 --> 00:55:31.039
previous interest in martial arts, have you ever practiced tai

608
00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:36.880
chi or chigung? Also, what are your thoughts on meditation? Yes,

609
00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:46.199
and yes, I did a bit of tai chi and chigung.

610
00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:49.239
I think that chigung. I think they were both probably

611
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:52.880
connected to the Buddhist center. So what we'd have is

612
00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:58.079
there'd be a like a practitioner would come along and

613
00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:01.599
do a course, maybe a six week course on ti

614
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:05.880
chie or a regular Tuesday night on ti chi or

615
00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:08.960
chickgung and stuff. So I did a little bit of

616
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:12.760
tai chie, but the one I really liked was chiegung

617
00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:20.360
because but I did it minimally. I don't mean I

618
00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:22.519
changed the way I did it, but I mean I

619
00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:28.079
didn't do much of it. But I did appreciate the

620
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:33.880
slow movements, the micro movements, the real like the idea

621
00:56:33.880 --> 00:56:38.920
of like holding a ball and passing that energy ball

622
00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:44.800
to another person and just that slow movement. I mean,

623
00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:46.800
I'm doing it now. You can't see me do it,

624
00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:54.440
but it feels nice. And because I'm quite a slow

625
00:56:54.559 --> 00:57:04.559
person anyway, moving slowly is my default really, and which

626
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:10.519
brings me to your meditation is I think meditation is great.

627
00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:18.039
I kind of meditate every day using walking meditation. So

628
00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:22.039
I want to take Vinnie out. I walk very slowly,

629
00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:27.159
and what I do is I focus on my feet

630
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:31.199
on the ground, how my feet feel, how my body

631
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:36.960
feels as I walk. And it's also part of like

632
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:39.840
paying control because I've got arthrights in my lower back

633
00:57:40.519 --> 00:57:43.679
and it plays up, you know, whenever I move. Basically

634
00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:47.639
it's hurting now, but I say hurting, but it's I

635
00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:50.480
can feel it now and when I walk and when

636
00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:53.199
I sit down for too long, so when I walk,

637
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:59.679
I can feel it. So sometimes by focusing on all

638
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:06.599
of my body movement, it eases that. It kind of

639
00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:10.519
reminds me that I've got a whole body that has feeling,

640
00:58:11.559 --> 00:58:19.360
not just that one part. And included in that meditation

641
00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:23.039
as well as being aware of Vinnie, because I have

642
00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:25.039
to be aware of what he's up to, and I

643
00:58:25.119 --> 00:58:28.840
need to also be aware of my surroundings. But I'd

644
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:32.079
say that's part of the meditation, and that's my natural

645
00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:36.000
state is to be perhaps too aware of my surroundings

646
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:40.679
to be honest. But the way you know, the weather,

647
00:58:40.840 --> 00:58:46.480
the wind, the air, the feeling the wind on my face,

648
00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:52.440
the feeling of breathing and my lungs, the temperature on

649
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:58.000
my hands, on my face, this the sun may be shining,

650
00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:01.480
and the just little things that the sounds of the

651
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:06.239
birds or the wind or the traffic, just little things

652
00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:12.920
or dogs in the background, all that stuff. In fact,

653
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:15.639
even like next door, like you know, with all of

654
00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:20.079
the kids and the dogs barking over there. That's fine.

655
00:59:20.199 --> 00:59:24.320
When I'm meditating, I don't need quiet. I just incorporate

656
00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:27.800
it into the meditation and just be one with it.

657
00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:33.199
I should try and do that when I do a recording. Really,

658
00:59:33.239 --> 00:59:41.599
shouldn't I be one? Be one, my son. I don't

659
00:59:41.599 --> 00:59:48.440
do so much traditional meditation anymore, although I'm kind of

660
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:51.599
I did meditate the other day. I could perhaps do

661
00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:55.559
with it, but I do. I like to walk in

662
00:59:55.639 --> 00:59:59.280
meditation because I do it every time, unless I'm talking

663
00:59:59.280 --> 01:00:02.159
to someone. Then I'm not. If I'm on my own

664
01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:08.679
with him and we just walk in slowly. I mean,

665
01:00:08.679 --> 01:00:16.320
it's probably not the most deep meditation practice, but there

666
01:00:16.440 --> 01:00:25.199
is a meditation practice there. There is an intention to

667
01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:30.840
slow things down, to allow things to slow down, so

668
01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:36.559
I'm not trying to force my breathing to become deeper

669
01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:41.360
and slower, but allow my body, my mind, you know,

670
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:46.039
allowed for that to happen. And I don't try and

671
01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:49.519
cause my mind to slow down and for the thoughts

672
01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:56.639
to maybe vanish or just disappey or slow. But I'm

673
01:00:56.679 --> 01:01:04.840
open to that happening. See, Yeah, it's quite nice. I

674
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:14.920
do that every day if I can. You know, sometimes

675
01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:17.400
I can't, but I'll be honest, sometimes I'm not in

676
01:01:17.440 --> 01:01:21.039
the right frame of mind. But if I can, I will.

677
01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:26.920
It's better when there's no one else around, because I

678
01:01:26.960 --> 01:01:30.360
do especially if I if I can walk really slow,

679
01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:34.559
like super slow, if there's no one around, it doesn't

680
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:40.639
look quite so weird. But when there's people around, I

681
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:45.559
walk at a very very slow pace anyway. But there's

682
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:51.519
an even slower pace with meditation, with meditative walking, and

683
01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:57.599
it can be and it can be literally almost micro movements.

684
01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:07.360
I don't really do that when I'm out, but I

685
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:14.599
do focus on my feet when I'm walking, I focus

686
01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:19.960
on my balance, I focus on my back, not just

687
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:23.320
my lower back, but also my upper back, my shoulders,

688
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:34.480
my posture, my neck, just noticing how I feel. And

689
01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:41.519
that's my connection with chigung and meditation could like the

690
01:02:41.639 --> 01:02:47.079
moving walking, meditation you could say is chickung. You could

691
01:02:47.159 --> 01:02:53.119
say it is tai chi. Oh No, I'm not an

692
01:02:53.159 --> 01:02:55.880
expert on any of this stuff. I do know more

693
01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:58.760
about meditation than I know about tai chi or chickung.

694
01:03:01.320 --> 01:03:06.639
I think it's all really really good stuff. And in

695
01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:12.039
some ways, I think tai chi and chigung because it's movement,

696
01:03:14.840 --> 01:03:22.119
it's got an extra dimension added to it. I'm never

697
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:24.039
going to be able to. I say, I'm never going

698
01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:26.639
to because I tried for years to do this and

699
01:03:26.679 --> 01:03:32.320
it didn't work. So sitting on a cushion isn't something

700
01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:34.599
I can do on the floor on a cushion. No,

701
01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:39.199
I tried it from I think I did it all

702
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:48.679
the way from November two thousand and two to two

703
01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:54.440
thousand and four, maybe even two thousand and five. Seriously,

704
01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:59.320
I tried for years to sit on a cushion. I

705
01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:02.480
did sit on a for years and then have to

706
01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:05.159
get up and sit on a chair. And I was

707
01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:10.480
just in pain that whole time. And eventually, I mean

708
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:12.920
that they tried every which way. At one point, at

709
01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:16.599
about seventeen cushions, I had scaffold in holding me up,

710
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:22.840
but it's still didn't work. I had a lastic band

711
01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:27.639
tied to my ed so I didn't fall off. I

712
01:04:27.679 --> 01:04:39.400
don't know, but yeah, I like the idea of movement.

713
01:04:40.119 --> 01:04:44.480
A little bit of movement is nice. Doesn't have to

714
01:04:44.480 --> 01:04:46.679
be the whole body. I mean, tie cheek can be

715
01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:56.519
used by anyone who can has access to movement of

716
01:04:56.559 --> 01:04:59.800
some of their limbs. So if someone was in a wheelchair,

717
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:03.039
still be able to do it with their hands or

718
01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:06.400
you know, there's going to be limitations, I suppose if

719
01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:14.400
someone's unable to move their body. But I'm guessing meditation

720
01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:18.000
would be fine in that situation. But I imagine, you know,

721
01:05:18.239 --> 01:05:26.360
imagining doing the movements would be calming, imagining doing tai

722
01:05:26.480 --> 01:05:35.119
chi in your mind, or doing chigung chikung chigung. But yeah,

723
01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:39.400
I don't know enough about it, but out of the two,

724
01:05:41.280 --> 01:05:44.639
because tai chi, I did tai chi with when I

725
01:05:44.679 --> 01:05:49.239
did Wing Chun kung fu in two thousand and four.

726
01:05:50.440 --> 01:05:54.480
He taught wing chun. He taught gee kundu, and he

727
01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:58.039
also taught tai chi, and he basically taught that tai

728
01:05:58.199 --> 01:06:01.039
chi was just a slow down version of a fighting style.

729
01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:08.440
You know, kicks, punches, blocks and all that stuff. So

730
01:06:08.480 --> 01:06:17.079
it's really just a very slow version of a form,

731
01:06:17.599 --> 01:06:24.199
which would be or a a kater sometimes it is

732
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:31.239
called it's just a mixture of movements where it's blocking

733
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:35.679
and punching, then kicking, then sweeping, and you know, all

734
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:38.800
kinds of like movements. And as the grades go up

735
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:44.480
in like karate or whatever discipline, the katers or the

736
01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:50.480
forms become more and more complicated. So it's almost like

737
01:06:50.559 --> 01:06:59.360
an fighting an invisible opponent or multiple invisible opponents. The

738
01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:03.920
tie cheer he seems to be doing that, but invisible

739
01:07:03.920 --> 01:07:13.599
opponents that are really slow. So yeah, I'd recommend both

740
01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:20.880
for all, including meditation, because it's so useful, healthy healing.

741
01:07:21.480 --> 01:07:26.480
It's great stuff. I'm making myself want to go back

742
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:30.519
to meditation, BlimE me. So thank you for that. So,

743
01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:35.920
Ben and Maria, I have answered both your questions. Yeah,

744
01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:44.480
Hope asks me the houses in Britain are older than

745
01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:50.840
in Canada. Do you think they're more haunted? Do you

746
01:07:50.960 --> 01:07:55.679
think your grouping of flats is haunted? And have you

747
01:07:55.719 --> 01:08:00.960
ever lived in a place you thought was haunted? And

748
01:08:05.840 --> 01:08:07.679
M I don't know, really, I don't know how to

749
01:08:07.719 --> 01:08:13.079
answer that. I don't I don't think so. I mean

750
01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:19.079
the big house I used to live in where I'm

751
01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:23.319
between the ages of nine and fifteen with my family.

752
01:08:27.079 --> 01:08:30.600
Didn't have a good atmosphere in there. And I'm talking

753
01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:32.319
when there was no one else in the house, just me.

754
01:08:33.319 --> 01:08:37.359
I didn't feel I didn't like it. I was at

755
01:08:37.399 --> 01:08:39.800
the top of the stairs in the you know, in

756
01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:41.760
the well. I was in a room at the top

757
01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:45.399
of the stairs, and that was there was two sets

758
01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:52.439
of stairs, and I didn't like it. I didn't didn't

759
01:08:52.479 --> 01:09:04.920
get a good feeling about the place. Yeah, as for

760
01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:09.840
see anything, I don't don't, you know, don't anything like that.

761
01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:16.439
It's not really ever happened. So I mean, I know that,

762
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:21.000
you know, everything's energy and most there's more stuff we

763
01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:25.039
can't see than what we can see all of the

764
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:29.279
you know, I'm looking around the room and that big gap,

765
01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:32.720
I say, big gap. I'm not living in a mansion,

766
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:36.520
but that space between me and this desk and the

767
01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:39.960
television at the other side of the room is full

768
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:48.039
of trillions and trillions and trillions and particles of energy,

769
01:09:50.479 --> 01:09:53.840
energy waves and all kinds of stuff that I'm never

770
01:09:53.880 --> 01:09:58.920
going to see or hear or feel, not consciously anyway.

771
01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:03.000
So I never try not to sort of when I

772
01:10:03.039 --> 01:10:06.000
get serious. I try not to like poo poo other

773
01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:10.600
people's beliefs and things, because there's more stuff that I

774
01:10:10.640 --> 01:10:14.520
don't know than I do know, and that is always

775
01:10:14.520 --> 01:10:19.479
going to be the case my entire life. For everything

776
01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:22.199
I know, there's billions of things that I don't know,

777
01:10:22.720 --> 01:10:27.359
maybe trillions of things that I don't know. So and

778
01:10:27.399 --> 01:10:30.359
I'm okay with that. I can't know everything. I don't

779
01:10:30.359 --> 01:10:34.640
want to know everything. Sometimes I want to know everything

780
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:43.319
about specific subjects, but generally I don't know. I don't

781
01:10:43.319 --> 01:10:47.399
have any Yeah. I mean, my flat's haunted with a

782
01:10:47.439 --> 01:10:51.159
little Jack Russell, and before that it was haunted by

783
01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:59.920
a little ferritic called Andre and any occasional mice. But generally, yeah,

784
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:07.960
it's so it wouldn't bother me. It's the neighbors. As

785
01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:09.720
long as the neighbors are quiet, I don't really care

786
01:11:09.760 --> 01:11:13.680
what else happens. As long as everything everything, everyone's safe.

787
01:11:13.720 --> 01:11:21.119
And that's sort of rocking with the asse for so Yeah, No,

788
01:11:21.199 --> 01:11:24.000
I think the answer to that is no. There was

789
01:11:24.039 --> 01:11:28.319
one incident in that house I was telling you about.

790
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:35.119
We'd only lived there for a little while, and my

791
01:11:35.239 --> 01:11:38.960
dad had put a carpet down, and the carpet started

792
01:11:38.960 --> 01:11:47.439
to rise on its own, and that was strange. But

793
01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:50.000
I think my dad said it was like the air

794
01:11:50.279 --> 01:11:54.079
was going through the skirting boards or something like that.

795
01:11:54.159 --> 01:11:57.119
But that was very weird. It didn't happen in any

796
01:11:57.159 --> 01:12:09.319
other room. Then there was that poltergeist. Uh yeah, not

797
01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:16.279
not nothing really, it was just yeah, I just did

798
01:12:16.479 --> 01:12:18.880
I don't know, I just didn't. I mean, I've lived

799
01:12:18.880 --> 01:12:22.880
in a I literally have lived in a mansion, I

800
01:12:22.920 --> 01:12:26.279
guess technically when I lived in the Children's home in

801
01:12:26.520 --> 01:12:36.680
South End. Huge building, huge like mansion size in a sense,

802
01:12:36.840 --> 01:12:43.680
like absolutely massive, big grounds and massive building. Really you know.

803
01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:52.199
So but I don't remember ever anything happening anything spooky,

804
01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:59.720
paranormal or anything like that there. And that building was

805
01:12:59.720 --> 01:13:04.920
proba be there for a good five six hundred years probably.

806
01:13:06.800 --> 01:13:08.880
In fact, I imagine when it was first built, it

807
01:13:08.920 --> 01:13:15.520
probably was I mentioned, or a hospital or something like that, big, big,

808
01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:23.920
old building. So yeah, I'm no, here's the answer. Really,

809
01:13:25.399 --> 01:13:29.880
the flats are fine. I mean I don't have access

810
01:13:29.880 --> 01:13:32.479
really to any of the other flats. So I talked

811
01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:36.039
to a couple of the other tenants. Now got two

812
01:13:36.199 --> 01:13:40.880
new people moving in, so I don't know them, and

813
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:43.560
I speak to one one of the other tenants that

814
01:13:44.079 --> 01:13:45.439
I speak to him every now and then, I don't

815
01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:49.680
see him very often. And the other two one that

816
01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:52.560
I know, I speak to them every now and then,

817
01:13:52.600 --> 01:13:59.319
but really I don't. It's kind of things are changing

818
01:13:59.319 --> 01:14:03.520
around here than two new flats, two new people that

819
01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:09.119
moved in. I don't know them, and it's you know,

820
01:14:09.199 --> 01:14:13.920
things change, No, people move on, and it's it's all changing,

821
01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:23.640
whether or not they're haunted. I don't know. No, I

822
01:14:23.680 --> 01:14:30.920
don't think so. So yeah, so I only had three

823
01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:38.119
people leaving messages for questions, but I did get one, one, two, three, four, five, six.

824
01:14:38.159 --> 01:14:42.600
I had six questions. I'm not sure if I've answered

825
01:14:42.640 --> 01:14:46.319
them very well. I'm not sure if I I'm not

826
01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:48.520
sure if I ever answer questions very well. I never

827
01:14:49.479 --> 01:14:53.479
really asked, do I do you know? I ordered something

828
01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:59.079
on Uber eats, and because I'm trying to get I'm

829
01:14:59.079 --> 01:15:02.960
trying to get stocked up for not necessarily just for

830
01:15:03.000 --> 01:15:05.439
the end of the year, but for the future, just

831
01:15:05.479 --> 01:15:11.880
to prepare me for what's to come. And I so

832
01:15:11.960 --> 01:15:16.760
I've been getting like toilet roll and washing up liquid

833
01:15:17.079 --> 01:15:21.199
and black bin bags and just started collecting stuff so

834
01:15:21.239 --> 01:15:24.279
that I've got enough to last me, hopefully for another

835
01:15:24.359 --> 01:15:30.119
year if I can. And so I ordered ten bottles

836
01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:38.319
of shampoo. You know how many they delivered one. I

837
01:15:38.439 --> 01:15:41.399
ordered a couple of other things, but not much. They

838
01:15:41.439 --> 01:15:46.239
delivered one bottle of shampoo. The whole point of it

839
01:15:46.319 --> 01:15:48.840
was to get ten, so that would last me. Bearing

840
01:15:48.840 --> 01:15:51.720
in mind I'm pretty much bored most of the time.

841
01:15:52.520 --> 01:15:55.239
That's going to last me a year. Ten bottles of shampoo.

842
01:15:56.560 --> 01:16:01.479
But no, no, no, no, no. Only one couldn't believe

843
01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:07.199
it never been so angry. So I do believe that

844
01:16:07.399 --> 01:16:11.079
is it for today. Thank you for listening. Remember to

845
01:16:11.079 --> 01:16:14.279
be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be

846
01:16:14.319 --> 01:16:20.680
happy and be gentle of yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

847
01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:38.640
Lots of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and

848
01:16:40.359 --> 01:16:47.720
meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just

849
01:16:48.039 --> 01:16:58.119
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time

850
01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:07.159
we've spent together here, not just relaxed at the end

851
01:17:07.199 --> 01:17:11.640
of the recording when it's finished and you can enjoy

852
01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:29.199
that sense of comfort and peace, But also I think

853
01:17:29.279 --> 01:17:40.479
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation

854
01:17:42.800 --> 01:17:57.039
continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that

855
01:17:57.159 --> 01:18:09.560
you can still benefit from listening to my voice maybe

856
01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:21.039
in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by

857
01:18:21.159 --> 01:18:29.119
listening regularly, especially if you find like some people do

858
01:18:29.479 --> 01:18:33.159
and myself as well. I sometimes I find one particular

859
01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:43.279
recording that really resonates with me, and I just listen

860
01:18:43.359 --> 01:18:48.680
to it over and over again every morning, every evening.

861
01:18:56.319 --> 01:19:01.520
There was this recording from going back to about nineteen

862
01:19:01.600 --> 01:19:06.239
ninety nine. It was it wasn't hypnosis, but it was

863
01:19:06.239 --> 01:19:13.920
a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really, and

864
01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:19.159
I managed to find it again and it still has

865
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:24.800
the same effect on me. And part of it was

866
01:19:28.439 --> 01:19:41.680
the person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful, and

867
01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:48.560
I'd look forward to listening to her in the morning

868
01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:59.880
and in the evening. And I knew before even pressing

869
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:08.039
in the play button that since I've done that, pressed

870
01:20:08.079 --> 01:20:16.640
the play button. This is in the days of CD

871
01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:25.520
players pressed the play button. In fact, it might have

872
01:20:25.560 --> 01:20:29.920
even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on

873
01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:42.800
the bed and then even without necessarily listening to her

874
01:20:42.960 --> 01:20:55.920
words because I had to memorized. Really, it was as

875
01:20:55.960 --> 01:21:06.640
if my body knew exactly what to do, and the

876
01:21:06.800 --> 01:21:28.840
muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember

877
01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:43.000
my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening

878
01:21:43.039 --> 01:21:49.840
to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,

879
01:21:52.359 --> 01:22:00.000
and long before I ever made any videos or audio

880
01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:05.039
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two

881
01:22:05.039 --> 01:22:21.079
thousand and six. But I knew, I knew how helpful

882
01:22:22.960 --> 01:22:34.520
I found being able to just let go, to have

883
01:22:34.680 --> 01:22:47.600
that trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing

884
01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:55.520
that it's going to be just as relaxing, if not

885
01:22:55.720 --> 01:23:04.800
more so. Each time you hear in my voice, you

886
01:23:04.880 --> 01:23:16.560
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

887
01:23:16.600 --> 01:23:30.520
me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not

888
01:23:30.520 --> 01:23:36.840
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

889
01:23:38.680 --> 01:23:52.399
Some people may be listen every day. There's something that

890
01:23:52.439 --> 01:24:05.439
I do which you may not realize by listening, is

891
01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:23.880
when I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also

892
01:24:25.359 --> 01:24:36.600
am affected by the words that I say. So if

893
01:24:36.640 --> 01:24:45.760
I said to you, focus on your feet, notice your

894
01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:57.800
feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet. I

895
01:24:57.880 --> 01:25:15.680
will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus

896
01:25:15.720 --> 01:25:24.079
on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between each hand.

897
01:25:27.760 --> 01:25:34.479
Perhaps notice the the air in the room, the temperature

898
01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:46.439
of the room. On the backs of your hands, you

899
01:25:46.560 --> 01:25:50.600
may start to notice what almost feels like a very

900
01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:59.119
light breeze, even though there may not be any type

901
01:25:59.159 --> 01:26:12.079
of breeze at all where you are right now. And

902
01:26:12.159 --> 01:26:23.399
as you become aware of your hands, I'm also aware

903
01:26:26.039 --> 01:26:34.640
of how relaxed my hands our feeling.

904
01:26:36.039 --> 01:26:51.600
Now and when.

905
01:26:51.479 --> 01:26:58.439
It comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may

906
01:26:58.520 --> 01:27:14.840
be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when

907
01:27:14.880 --> 01:27:28.119
I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

908
01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:48.560
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

909
01:27:53.479 --> 01:28:02.640
and then I carry on talking. And it's only when

910
01:28:02.920 --> 01:28:12.000
I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring

911
01:28:13.920 --> 01:28:21.239
and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

912
01:28:24.079 --> 01:28:31.279
This snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I

913
01:28:31.359 --> 01:28:39.479
sound like when I snare and I get really into

914
01:28:39.560 --> 01:28:58.880
the whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How

915
01:28:59.000 --> 01:29:09.199
relaxed do you feel in your feet, how relaxed you

916
01:29:09.439 --> 01:29:34.640
feel in your hands. I have noticed more and more

917
01:29:36.640 --> 01:29:49.399
that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,

918
01:29:52.960 --> 01:30:09.159
the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional

919
01:30:12.279 --> 01:30:35.680
muscle relaxation. So This allows you debree easier without necessarily

920
01:30:38.520 --> 01:31:06.479
focusing on your breath, however, being able to notice the

921
01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:36.479
ease in which you breathe so naturally, you breathe so

922
01:31:36.800 --> 01:32:20.079
very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving.

923
01:32:25.800 --> 01:32:39.159
When I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize

924
01:32:41.239 --> 01:32:55.600
a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that

925
01:32:57.680 --> 01:33:30.439
life giving oxygen. It feels nice to, if nothing else,

926
01:33:33.640 --> 01:34:06.279
just taking some time away from everything enjoy Yeah, that

927
01:34:07.279 --> 01:34:58.560
feeling of peace, serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems

928
01:34:58.600 --> 01:35:28.520
to just to rip by so very slowly, relaxed, so

929
01:35:29.119 --> 01:36:08.560
deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment,

930
01:36:25.199 --> 01:37:21.399
completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed

931
01:37:21.479 --> 01:38:07.800
down because nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy

932
01:38:12.479 --> 01:38:24.560
the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip out

933
01:38:24.600 --> 01:38:44.079
of your body, to appear out of every part of

934
01:38:44.239 --> 01:39:08.800
your body, and being released from your brain in your

935
01:39:08.920 --> 01:40:00.439
mind slowly but surely, the muscles in your legs KSh

936
01:40:05.079 --> 01:40:55.439
rights really so very deeply, right, so deeply, and the feelings,

937
01:40:57.880 --> 01:41:22.800
the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders deepening each

938
01:41:23.199 --> 01:42:01.159
part of your body further and deeper and deeper. Noticin

939
01:42:04.479 --> 01:42:31.039
the feelings in the back of your neck, the feelings

940
01:42:31.199 --> 01:43:20.079
in your wrists, muscles, in front of your body, I

941
01:43:20.279 --> 01:44:04.119

You may have or may not have noticed your mind

965
02:04:37.399 --> 02:05:38.880
drifting peaceful, moveingly, even more deeply in the direction of

966
02:05:43.960 --> 02:07:39.600
total blissful pace, blissful peace to rest, total peace. Come

967
02:07:45.199 --> 02:08:58.159
so calm, letting go, peace with mind rexed foty, sir,

968
02:08:58.720 --> 02:09:56.680
rex so relaxed. Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed.

969
02:10:00.039 --> 02:11:15.199
I think peaceful, so peaceful, real liquor, so peaceful. And

970
02:11:15.319 --> 02:11:22.680
you could start to notice that you are feeling more relaxed,

971
02:11:25.640 --> 02:11:35.520
even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon that

972
02:11:36.760 --> 02:11:42.880
sense of physical comfort that is growing within you throughout

973
02:11:42.920 --> 02:11:55.800
your body, and your mind starts to slow down, And

974
02:11:55.880 --> 02:12:03.399
that could be almost in recognition of I guess my

975
02:12:03.600 --> 02:12:18.479
speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer.

976
02:12:21.880 --> 02:12:29.840
Just by listening to my voice, you give yourself an

977
02:12:29.920 --> 02:12:37.920
opportunity to take a break from the day, take a

978
02:12:37.960 --> 02:12:45.640
break from your life as it is, and to give

979
02:12:45.680 --> 02:12:54.199
yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time off,

980
02:12:56.359 --> 02:13:01.760
and to allow your body to relax and allow your

981
02:13:01.880 --> 02:13:12.520
mind to slow down, which in turn releases the tension

982
02:13:13.920 --> 02:13:22.680
and he stresses that you had in your body. It's

983
02:13:22.720 --> 02:13:27.359
almost as if the parts of your body just open up,

984
02:13:28.600 --> 02:13:40.239
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing

985
02:13:41.079 --> 02:13:50.640
that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then fills your

986
02:13:50.680 --> 02:14:02.520
body up and your mind to also starts to appreciate

987
02:14:03.399 --> 02:14:21.800
those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing,

988
02:14:24.920 --> 02:14:33.520
an energy that spreads through your body like a wave

989
02:14:35.800 --> 02:14:48.000
of comfort. And all this comes from just allowing yourself

990
02:14:50.800 --> 02:14:56.000
a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however long you

991
02:14:56.079 --> 02:15:09.159
want it to be, just rest and allow your mind

992
02:15:09.279 --> 02:15:20.119
and your body to almost reset itself to the settings

993
02:15:20.239 --> 02:15:35.800
of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more room for

994
02:15:37.199 --> 02:15:49.239
feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around your body

995
02:15:51.000 --> 02:15:57.520
and into your mind, almost as if your mind and

996
02:15:57.560 --> 02:16:08.079
your body are singing, looking together, almost mirroring each other,

997
02:16:09.039 --> 02:16:23.319
with that growing positivity and calmness, and it feels nice.

998
02:16:23.479 --> 02:16:29.520
It really does feel nice to know that you are

999
02:16:29.560 --> 02:16:39.760
the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort

1000
02:16:42.959 --> 02:16:56.479
and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout

1001
02:16:56.559 --> 02:17:08.840
your body. And as I focus on each part of

1002
02:17:08.879 --> 02:17:21.079
your body, you can notice that that part becomes even

1003
02:17:22.280 --> 02:17:31.639
more relaxed just by focusing on it. It becomes even

1004
02:17:31.840 --> 02:17:44.520
more calm and comfortable, just by focusing. And as I

1005
02:17:44.760 --> 02:17:53.079
move down your body, starting at your head, the parts

1006
02:17:53.159 --> 02:18:00.639
that you've already focused on will continue to relax deeply,

1007
02:18:03.399 --> 02:18:09.440
and those parts that we've not yet focused on or

1008
02:18:09.559 --> 02:18:21.399
just automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation of even

1009
02:18:21.760 --> 02:18:34.360
more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start

1010
02:18:34.399 --> 02:18:41.680
by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of the

1011
02:18:41.719 --> 02:18:52.000
feelings of your forehead and any background sounds like mister

1012
02:18:52.280 --> 02:18:57.239
Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel even

1013
02:18:57.360 --> 02:19:07.520
more relaxed. Just means you in the moment, this isn't

1014
02:19:07.840 --> 02:19:15.760
this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world. I

1015
02:19:15.879 --> 02:19:27.639
live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around.

1016
02:19:28.639 --> 02:19:33.760
So as you focus on your forehead, just notice how

1017
02:19:33.799 --> 02:19:43.840
it becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on

1018
02:19:44.000 --> 02:19:53.639
my voice and that part of your body moving down

1019
02:19:53.840 --> 02:20:04.000
to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how the

1020
02:20:06.200 --> 02:20:13.479
your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at the

1021
02:20:13.479 --> 02:20:23.239
same time, and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely.

1022
02:20:27.920 --> 02:20:35.600
Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1023
02:20:36.799 --> 02:20:44.760
your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of your mouth relaxing,

1024
02:20:48.239 --> 02:20:58.440
calm and loose as you focus now on your jaw,

1025
02:21:01.520 --> 02:21:05.120
not just the part of your jaw near your mouth

1026
02:21:05.920 --> 02:21:10.239
and your chin, but all the way up the size

1027
02:21:10.280 --> 02:21:12.319
of your face to.

1028
02:21:12.319 --> 02:21:26.920
Your ears, the hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed.

1029
02:21:30.280 --> 02:21:47.680
And calm. Focusing on your neck, the front of your

1030
02:21:47.760 --> 02:22:00.280
neck and your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The

1031
02:22:00.600 --> 02:22:06.280
sides of your neck, the right and left side of

1032
02:22:06.319 --> 02:22:23.719
your neck, relax and loose and calm.

1033
02:22:24.079 --> 02:22:25.719
And now the back.

1034
02:22:25.479 --> 02:22:32.239
Of your neck, focusing on the back of your neck,

1035
02:22:38.159 --> 02:22:43.360
letting go of any tension that may have been there before,

1036
02:22:45.159 --> 02:22:59.239
and enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that

1037
02:22:59.440 --> 02:23:09.879
you can expirits in the back of your neck. Moving

1038
02:23:10.120 --> 02:23:16.760
down your back and moving either side of your spine

1039
02:23:18.000 --> 02:23:22.760
right from the top of your back all the way

1040
02:23:22.920 --> 02:23:35.639
down to the bottom of your back, down to your

1041
02:23:35.680 --> 02:23:48.159
lower back and as you move up and down your spine,

1042
02:23:48.399 --> 02:23:52.840
you can feel the muscles either side of your spine

1043
02:23:55.000 --> 02:24:09.639
relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense

1044
02:24:09.680 --> 02:24:20.200
of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into

1045
02:24:20.399 --> 02:24:27.040
both sides of your back, the top of your back,

1046
02:24:27.840 --> 02:24:34.120
the middle, and your lower back. And as you scan

1047
02:24:35.799 --> 02:24:43.680
gently and slowly up and down your back, there's the

1048
02:24:43.760 --> 02:24:49.639
muscles in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1049
02:24:53.959 --> 02:24:59.879
The muscles in the middle of your back also seen

1050
02:25:00.120 --> 02:25:09.600
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,

1051
02:25:15.360 --> 02:25:21.399
And in your lower back there seems to be an

1052
02:25:21.399 --> 02:25:35.639
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips,

1053
02:25:37.920 --> 02:25:45.879
so down your lower back, into your hips, into the

1054
02:25:45.920 --> 02:25:54.719
area where your coxis are, and into your buttocks, and

1055
02:25:54.799 --> 02:26:04.040
all those muscles that spread from your lower back into

1056
02:26:04.040 --> 02:26:17.680
your hip area start to melt, start to really let go.

1057
02:26:24.079 --> 02:26:29.159
I don't even nowhere about to focus on your shoulders.

1058
02:26:30.799 --> 02:26:37.959
Your back and your spine will continue to let go,

1059
02:26:40.879 --> 02:26:56.600
continue to relax so calmly. And as you focus on

1060
02:26:56.639 --> 02:27:09.600
your shoulders, you mean no, just they're already feeling really loose.

1061
02:27:14.399 --> 02:27:40.799
They're already feeding calm and feeling those muscles then move

1062
02:27:41.200 --> 02:27:57.040
from your neck into your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle,

1063
02:28:01.120 --> 02:28:30.600
so smooth and calm. The feeding in your shoulders seems

1064
02:28:30.879 --> 02:28:38.600
to spread deep into your shoulders, that sense of relaxation,

1065
02:28:39.760 --> 02:28:51.280
not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing

1066
02:28:54.120 --> 02:29:04.120
the bones and moving all the way to underneath your arms,

1067
02:29:06.840 --> 02:29:12.840
relaxing that whole area between the tops of your shoulders

1068
02:29:14.120 --> 02:29:31.920
and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and

1069
02:29:32.120 --> 02:29:52.319
comfortable in your shoulders. Who sends that deep healing message

1070
02:29:53.079 --> 02:30:04.959
into your arms? You may feel almost as if your

1071
02:30:05.319 --> 02:30:14.600
arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed, so

1072
02:30:16.159 --> 02:31:05.200
deeply relaxed, so so calm, so loose. Feeling spreading all

1073
02:31:05.239 --> 02:31:28.719
the way down your arms two elbows, including your elbows

1074
02:31:28.719 --> 02:31:45.040
circumforts spreads or away into your wrists, your forearments, and

1075
02:31:45.239 --> 02:32:00.559
your wrists feeling so heavy. Yet at the same time,

1076
02:32:08.040 --> 02:33:08.479
sunlight and gentle frey. See now on your hands, my hands,

1077
02:33:14.760 --> 02:33:44.399
so peaceful in your hands. There's a sense of real peace.

1078
02:33:56.079 --> 02:34:09.879
It just seems to feel so familiar when your hands

1079
02:34:10.239 --> 02:35:47.600
relax deeply. Is your fingers a thing? Is solidly a thing?

1080
02:35:47.799 --> 02:36:33.879
It tips moving your attention to the front of your body,

1081
02:36:34.760 --> 02:38:12.920
so comfortable, moving your focus to your legs, A lot muscles.

1082
02:38:13.920 --> 02:38:32.840
In your thighs, your knees.

1083
02:38:36.399 --> 02:40:06.840
So relaxed, a carved muscles, and just shins compusily four

1084
02:41:13.239 --> 02:41:34.760
and the feathing your feet, sir, peaceful, so calm, so peaceful,

1085
02:41:41.879 --> 02:42:36.600
so calm, so peaceful, so calm, so peace fall RelA

1086
02:42:36.639 --> 02:43:00.719
sin peace fall, so calm, loving that deep relaxation. Just

1087
02:43:00.959 --> 02:43:22.920
spread your chest and your stomach, letting go of everything.

1088
02:43:34.120 --> 02:43:40.159
So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down

1089
02:43:40.200 --> 02:43:48.360
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

1090
02:43:49.120 --> 02:43:55.600
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

1091
02:43:55.639 --> 02:44:04.840
and each step represents a level of comfort, each step

1092
02:44:05.280 --> 02:44:20.879
represents a deepening of that comfort, and the fervies you

1093
02:44:21.000 --> 02:44:26.399
walk down those steps that the deeper and more relaxed

1094
02:44:26.559 --> 02:47:08.639
you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen,

1095
02:48:24.159 --> 02:56:33.360
three four fourteen too well five eight nine height seven

1096
02:57:03.440 --> 03:05:19.319
s five four two one, And now as you focus

1097
03:05:19.399 --> 03:05:39.120
on your eyes, We're gonna count down from ten dout one,

1098
03:05:39.479 --> 03:05:49.079
focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around

1099
03:05:49.159 --> 03:06:00.639
your eyes, your eye walls themselves, our whole area that

1100
03:06:00.840 --> 03:06:14.920
makes up your eye. And as we count down from

1101
03:06:15.079 --> 03:06:23.120
ten down to one, whilst focus in on your eyes,

1102
03:06:29.399 --> 03:06:41.399
you'll become twice is relaxed with each number counting down,

1103
03:06:44.440 --> 03:06:51.559
and you may find the all you want to do

1104
03:06:51.920 --> 03:07:00.879
is just drift off to sleep, and it's that's what

1105
03:07:01.159 --> 03:07:13.879
you want, then just allow yourself to do that. Now,

1106
03:07:16.600 --> 03:07:23.040
focusing on your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down

1107
03:07:24.520 --> 03:08:41.200
from ten down to one right now, ten nine eight

1108
03:09:34.479 --> 03:16:52.840
seven ye five four three two one. So count and

1109
03:16:52.959 --> 03:17:06.239
down from ten to one ten nine eight seven six

1110
03:17:08.440 --> 03:17:18.440
five four three two.

1111
03:17:20.319 --> 03:17:26.959
One.

1112
03:17:27.559 --> 03:17:30.479
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1113
03:17:30.520 --> 03:17:34.520
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1114
03:17:34.799 --> 03:17:44.520
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1115
03:17:44.520 --> 03:17:48.399
little bit of pressure there, Like you're counting down from

1116
03:17:48.440 --> 03:17:51.200
ten to one. Would you expect me to do man,

1117
03:17:52.040 --> 03:17:56.639
expect me to stick gold floppy just because you're counting down.

1118
03:18:02.200 --> 03:18:06.440
We could try again, but this time I go this lower.

1119
03:18:08.520 --> 03:18:13.399
This time, as you focus on the whole of your

1120
03:18:13.440 --> 03:18:21.840
body before we focus on your legs, just notice how

1121
03:18:21.879 --> 03:18:36.000
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every

1122
03:18:36.120 --> 03:19:09.239
number that I count down ten nine eight seven six

1123
03:19:17.639 --> 03:20:26.600
five four three two one, And just notice how how

1124
03:20:26.639 --> 03:20:36.799
you feel, generally, how your body feels. It's not necessarily

1125
03:20:36.840 --> 03:20:47.319
even about counting down from ten to one. It's that

1126
03:20:47.520 --> 03:21:07.280
space that you have, that space between being active physically

1127
03:21:07.399 --> 03:21:16.280
or mentally to just sitting or lying down and just

1128
03:21:16.440 --> 03:21:22.360
being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing

1129
03:21:22.600 --> 03:21:28.079
to think about anything. So it opens up a space,

1130
03:21:29.040 --> 03:21:38.200
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And

1131
03:21:38.280 --> 03:21:42.920
the more I comed down from ten to one, the

1132
03:21:42.959 --> 03:21:51.120
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

1133
03:21:52.319 --> 03:22:08.600
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves

1134
03:22:09.559 --> 03:22:24.840
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.

1135
03:22:26.280 --> 03:22:27.639
Allows you.

1136
03:22:29.920 --> 03:22:30.440
To just.

1137
03:22:33.440 --> 03:22:40.200
Slow down. Someone to count again from ten down to one,

1138
03:22:40.600 --> 03:22:50.840
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1139
03:22:50.879 --> 03:22:56.959
it's almost like the thestress and attention falls into the

1140
03:22:57.000 --> 03:24:18.280
gap and gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

1141
03:24:36.479 --> 03:25:28.799
three two one. How does your body feel.

1142
03:25:29.879 --> 03:25:41.559
Now?

1143
03:25:42.799 --> 03:25:59.120
Can you notice do you feeling calmer, the feeling more relaxed.

1144
03:26:21.520 --> 03:26:25.920
As we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

1145
03:26:41.879 --> 03:27:02.079
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

1146
03:27:02.120 --> 03:27:07.040
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because

1147
03:27:10.479 --> 03:27:13.200
I'm sure, like most of your body is not a

1148
03:27:13.239 --> 03:27:25.680
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

1149
03:27:25.799 --> 03:27:32.200
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

1150
03:27:32.319 --> 03:27:39.399
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

1151
03:27:39.440 --> 03:27:44.319
and your inner thighs, basically the whole of your thigh

1152
03:27:44.440 --> 03:27:53.239
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

1153
03:27:53.440 --> 03:28:07.479
your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's

1154
03:28:07.520 --> 03:28:13.040
a very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest

1155
03:28:14.000 --> 03:28:27.200
muscles in your body are in your thighs. But I

1156
03:28:27.239 --> 03:28:35.639
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1157
03:28:41.479 --> 03:28:52.280
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1158
03:28:52.399 --> 03:29:13.120
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

1159
03:29:13.120 --> 03:29:23.639
through our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,

1160
03:29:23.680 --> 03:29:32.159
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

1161
03:29:32.200 --> 03:29:39.840
our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,

1162
03:29:40.799 --> 03:29:58.879
a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what

1163
03:29:58.920 --> 03:30:08.040
our thighs do for us. And I know this may

1164
03:30:08.239 --> 03:30:14.479
sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I

1165
03:30:14.639 --> 03:30:17.360
sure how I should be out in the garden, hugging

1166
03:30:17.399 --> 03:30:25.319
a tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a

1167
03:30:25.399 --> 03:30:29.079
microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.

1168
03:30:29.120 --> 03:30:32.639
Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. Now I

1169
03:30:32.680 --> 03:30:41.440
can't see the television from the tree. If you move

1170
03:30:41.520 --> 03:30:51.440
down to your knees gain such an important part. And

1171
03:30:51.440 --> 03:30:56.040
I think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here,

1172
03:30:58.399 --> 03:31:03.520
I don't necessarily appreciate all that my knees do for

1173
03:31:03.600 --> 03:31:10.079
me until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,

1174
03:31:10.159 --> 03:31:15.120
if I ever maybe i'll bash it or it's aching

1175
03:31:15.280 --> 03:31:21.760
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much

1176
03:31:21.799 --> 03:31:26.239
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to

1177
03:31:26.399 --> 03:31:36.399
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

1178
03:31:36.440 --> 03:31:45.200
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

1179
03:31:46.280 --> 03:31:53.399
You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

1180
03:31:55.440 --> 03:32:01.120
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that

1181
03:32:01.360 --> 03:32:07.559
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all

1182
03:32:07.639 --> 03:32:20.000
that they do for you, And you can still have

1183
03:32:20.040 --> 03:32:24.239
that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your

1184
03:32:24.280 --> 03:32:36.200
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more

1185
03:32:37.959 --> 03:32:49.680
deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,

1186
03:32:50.040 --> 03:32:55.479
your shins, and your calf muscles, and the bones between

1187
03:32:55.639 --> 03:33:04.600
your knees and your feet, incorporating of course, your ankles

1188
03:33:04.760 --> 03:33:14.239
so important. You know, anyone that's had even like the

1189
03:33:14.280 --> 03:33:21.200
slightest sprain of an ankle knows how how much we

1190
03:33:21.239 --> 03:33:31.520
take our ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange

1191
03:33:31.559 --> 03:33:36.440
in a way when you think that. You know, logically,

1192
03:33:36.719 --> 03:33:39.840
our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of

1193
03:33:39.840 --> 03:33:44.559
our arms, which is okay, it doesn't I can't see

1194
03:33:44.559 --> 03:33:48.120
any problem with that because we're just picking stuff up.

1195
03:33:49.639 --> 03:33:55.280
But our ankles so much thinner than the rest of

1196
03:33:55.319 --> 03:34:06.200
our legs, and from a physics perspective or logical even

1197
03:34:06.239 --> 03:34:11.959
it doesn't really make sense that all this weight would

1198
03:34:12.040 --> 03:34:19.280
ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading to your feet,

1199
03:34:23.840 --> 03:34:32.680
that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does so much

1200
03:34:32.760 --> 03:34:39.840
great work. Supports us, supports our body for a lifetime,

1201
03:34:44.600 --> 03:34:54.399
helps us to balance, helps you to get around and

1202
03:34:54.440 --> 03:35:08.440
be mobile. And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when

1203
03:35:08.520 --> 03:35:11.680
I was younger, I couldn't see the point in calf muscles.

1204
03:35:12.399 --> 03:35:17.120
It didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked

1205
03:35:17.120 --> 03:35:20.879
around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get some work.

1206
03:35:22.239 --> 03:35:24.799
But of course that's not true. The calf muscles are

1207
03:35:24.840 --> 03:35:34.760
being used whenever we use our legs, and your shins

1208
03:35:38.000 --> 03:35:47.040
there to protect your lower legs, shaped in a way

1209
03:35:48.840 --> 03:36:01.000
almost as a protector for the bone, leading of course

1210
03:36:01.040 --> 03:36:11.200
to your ankles and your feet. But we're not going

1211
03:36:11.280 --> 03:36:13.440
to focus on your feet. We're just going to focus

1212
03:36:13.479 --> 03:36:20.120
on the legs. I realize, but now that I've mentioned

1213
03:36:20.159 --> 03:36:24.879
your feet, it probably focuses on them anyway, So maybe

1214
03:36:24.920 --> 03:36:31.120
I should focus on your feet a little bit. You

1215
03:36:31.120 --> 03:36:35.760
can have them in your awareness the same as you

1216
03:36:36.399 --> 03:36:40.280
have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we haven't

1217
03:36:40.319 --> 03:36:46.079
been focusing on your thighs a few minutes, we've been

1218
03:36:46.159 --> 03:37:00.600
focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of comfort

1219
03:37:03.280 --> 03:37:15.239
in your thighs in this that movement of energy, because

1220
03:37:15.280 --> 03:37:22.239
the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's

1221
03:37:22.280 --> 03:37:27.079
the muscles, the big strong muscles that we have in

1222
03:37:27.120 --> 03:37:41.120
our thighs, but the skin on the outside of the thighs,

1223
03:37:41.959 --> 03:37:46.680
as in the outside of all of our body, can

1224
03:37:46.719 --> 03:37:58.120
be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch sensitive to temperature.

1225
03:38:04.639 --> 03:38:12.200
And inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1226
03:38:12.239 --> 03:38:17.079
the blood, vessels, the arch trees, it's all this stuff

1227
03:38:17.159 --> 03:38:25.879
that's inside your thighs. And I guess sometimes it'd be

1228
03:38:26.000 --> 03:38:30.159
nice if you could actually put your fingers inside your

1229
03:38:30.200 --> 03:38:36.440
thighs and a message, so you can message on the outside,

1230
03:38:36.639 --> 03:38:39.559
of course, but to be able to get deep into

1231
03:38:39.600 --> 03:38:44.440
the muscles and to be able to just message inside

1232
03:38:44.479 --> 03:38:51.520
your thighs, message in the bones of your leg, message

1233
03:38:51.559 --> 03:39:00.959
in all the veins, and just gently healing your thighs,

1234
03:39:04.719 --> 03:39:10.079
and you could move down message and inside your knees,

1235
03:39:11.440 --> 03:39:18.280
just message in those bones, but with healing fingertips spreading

1236
03:39:18.360 --> 03:39:24.239
that healing energy deep into the joints of your knees.

1237
03:39:29.520 --> 03:39:33.200
Of course, there's the back of your your knee, you know,

1238
03:39:33.319 --> 03:39:39.360
the inside crease where your knee is. It's a very

1239
03:39:39.520 --> 03:39:45.440
sensitive area. Very it feels very nice when you stroke it.

1240
03:39:46.799 --> 03:39:50.239
That might be because it's an area that's not really

1241
03:39:50.360 --> 03:39:57.000
touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part that

1242
03:39:57.159 --> 03:40:03.920
crease and you're leggs. It's almost it's like a part

1243
03:40:04.040 --> 03:40:08.920
that has a sensitivity which is a little bit different.

1244
03:40:16.760 --> 03:40:26.680
Of course, it's protected by your legs. So you can

1245
03:40:26.719 --> 03:40:32.159
imagine putting your fingers into that crease in your legs,

1246
03:40:37.479 --> 03:40:41.399
that fold in between your legs. You can just massage

1247
03:40:41.440 --> 03:40:48.520
with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips going inside, massage in

1248
03:40:48.639 --> 03:40:58.200
the muscle tissue. You can of course field the bones

1249
03:40:58.600 --> 03:41:10.520
of your knees, healing through your fingertips. And then as

1250
03:41:10.600 --> 03:41:16.280
you go down to your calf muscles. Now that's the

1251
03:41:16.319 --> 03:41:19.879
part I'd like to be able to really put my

1252
03:41:19.959 --> 03:41:28.799
fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, massage in every single

1253
03:41:29.799 --> 03:41:41.440
tissue of that muscle, healing every part, and then doing

1254
03:41:41.479 --> 03:41:49.000
the same for my shins, massage in and gently stroking

1255
03:41:49.120 --> 03:41:55.559
the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a loving way,

1256
03:41:56.799 --> 03:42:03.239
because they deserve to be treated as the precious bones

1257
03:42:03.280 --> 03:42:07.959
that they are, because our legs are so precious as

1258
03:42:07.959 --> 03:42:12.719
in all the other parts of our body, and more

1259
03:42:12.760 --> 03:42:26.879
precious of any jure on the planet. When you start

1260
03:42:27.000 --> 03:42:39.000
to think about your legs in this way, it can

1261
03:42:39.159 --> 03:42:48.680
change your perspective. It might sound a bit a bit

1262
03:42:48.920 --> 03:42:54.399
silly to start with the idea of having love for

1263
03:42:54.520 --> 03:43:03.879
your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting to be

1264
03:43:03.920 --> 03:43:11.360
able to put your hands in your thighs, massage the

1265
03:43:11.479 --> 03:43:17.360
muscles and the bones, and to get your fingers deep

1266
03:43:17.440 --> 03:43:27.239
in there, releasing all tension. Just to show how much

1267
03:43:27.319 --> 03:43:35.079
you care about your legs, how much you care for

1268
03:43:35.879 --> 03:43:44.079
what your legs do for you regularly, your knees, your calves,

1269
03:43:45.159 --> 03:43:57.440
your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering how thin

1270
03:43:57.600 --> 03:44:00.600
they are compared to the rest of your your legs,

1271
03:44:00.719 --> 03:44:14.440
especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely

1272
03:44:14.680 --> 03:44:26.479
amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because of

1273
03:44:26.520 --> 03:44:37.840
what they do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless

1274
03:44:37.879 --> 03:44:41.920
of how what weight you are, even if you're only

1275
03:44:41.920 --> 03:44:47.120
eight stone, there's still a lot of weight for these

1276
03:44:47.479 --> 03:44:55.159
little ankles. Now, I'm a lot heavier than eight stone

1277
03:44:55.559 --> 03:45:04.760
double back. Yeah, my ankles support my body all the time,

1278
03:45:08.559 --> 03:45:11.479
or they do give off a sigh of relief when

1279
03:45:11.520 --> 03:45:20.319
I sit down, I have my whole legs do my

1280
03:45:20.520 --> 03:45:44.799
feet feet also go and my toes clap. I'm so happy.

1281
03:45:47.399 --> 03:45:56.600
Your legs really are amazing. And I know that talking

1282
03:45:56.680 --> 03:46:03.120
about talking about your legs is probably possibly among the

1283
03:46:03.159 --> 03:46:08.760
most most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly

1284
03:46:11.799 --> 03:46:18.360
or boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your

1285
03:46:18.440 --> 03:46:39.040
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, they

1286
03:46:39.079 --> 03:46:51.719
deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time

1287
03:46:51.799 --> 03:47:15.520
out of the day to just let go completely. Your

1288
03:47:15.639 --> 03:47:33.440
legs really can relax. And because the legs are so

1289
03:47:34.479 --> 03:47:39.319
such a most, you know, very important part of your body.

1290
03:47:40.559 --> 03:47:43.200
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body

1291
03:47:43.799 --> 03:48:02.600
also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can

1292
03:48:02.680 --> 03:48:07.680
feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,

1293
03:48:10.920 --> 03:48:15.559
and also my lwer back as well. My lower back

1294
03:48:15.760 --> 03:48:21.319
really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting

1295
03:48:21.360 --> 03:48:27.360
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as

1296
03:48:27.399 --> 03:48:30.479
I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if the

1297
03:48:30.559 --> 03:48:34.559
muscles are just relaxed so much that there is a

1298
03:48:34.680 --> 03:48:59.399
natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot. And

1299
03:48:59.440 --> 03:49:06.680
I'm now going to countdown from ten down to one,

1300
03:49:07.159 --> 03:49:41.799
and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.

1301
03:49:44.799 --> 03:50:00.719
Three two one relax.

1302
03:50:08.600 --> 03:50:12.440
So I'm just going to count down from five down

1303
03:50:12.479 --> 03:50:16.959
to one. And as I countdown, if you just focus

1304
03:50:17.000 --> 03:50:24.959
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1305
03:50:25.840 --> 03:50:33.879
how you feel in this moment as you hear the

1306
03:50:33.959 --> 03:50:42.079
numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent

1307
03:50:43.040 --> 03:50:52.120
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also

1308
03:50:54.360 --> 03:51:01.520
relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel. There's nothing

1309
03:51:02.239 --> 03:51:07.600
to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about.

1310
03:51:10.600 --> 03:51:59.840
Starting with number five, four, three two one, as you know,

1311
03:52:00.200 --> 03:52:12.600
is the gradual letting go that the tension in your body.

1312
03:52:16.200 --> 03:52:21.959
You may also begin to notice and be aware of

1313
03:52:22.000 --> 03:52:31.040
how your mind is starting to slow down. This is

1314
03:52:31.159 --> 03:52:37.799
just a natural thing that happens. It's not really a

1315
03:52:37.879 --> 03:52:45.000
special procedure. It's just natural because as your body relaxes,

1316
03:52:45.159 --> 03:52:50.639
your mind also starts to relax, and the more your

1317
03:52:50.680 --> 03:52:53.920
mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's just a

1318
03:52:54.079 --> 03:53:06.680
continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that calmness that comes

1319
03:53:06.799 --> 03:53:14.000
from relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background

1320
03:53:14.239 --> 03:53:22.319
sounds either your side, online, it's still going to be

1321
03:53:22.440 --> 03:53:26.799
quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on,

1322
03:53:27.360 --> 03:53:31.639
there's no music in the background unless you're listening to

1323
03:53:31.680 --> 03:53:39.440
the recording with music. Of course, you're very likely not

1324
03:53:39.479 --> 03:53:41.559
going to be sitting in a room with other people.

1325
03:53:42.440 --> 03:53:47.120
Of Course, you might be but generally it's more ideal

1326
03:53:47.159 --> 03:53:56.159
if you can do this on your own, so no distractions,

1327
03:53:58.360 --> 03:54:11.319
and when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises,

1328
03:54:13.639 --> 03:54:24.440
a sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying

1329
03:54:24.440 --> 03:54:33.360
to build it up into something fantastical or something magical,

1330
03:54:35.440 --> 03:54:47.879
this is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish.

1331
03:54:48.479 --> 03:54:53.639
In fact, it's almost you know, the sense of relaxing

1332
03:54:53.680 --> 03:55:00.440
completely happens really when you put no effort into it.

1333
03:55:00.440 --> 03:55:06.159
It's not something that you can really force. It's something

1334
03:55:06.280 --> 03:55:17.040
that happens naturally. And part of the process of this

1335
03:55:17.319 --> 03:55:29.280
recording and others is simply two allow you to take

1336
03:55:29.360 --> 03:55:44.319
advantage of this space this time. It's just let go

1337
03:55:47.319 --> 03:55:55.600
to just be here, to be in tune with how

1338
03:55:55.639 --> 03:56:09.040
you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax

1339
03:56:09.159 --> 03:56:20.520
deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what

1340
03:56:20.719 --> 03:56:26.879
it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.

1341
03:56:33.799 --> 03:56:43.200
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process

1342
03:56:43.319 --> 03:56:48.520
of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is the

1343
03:56:48.600 --> 03:56:56.440
tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become,

1344
03:57:00.360 --> 03:57:18.319
the easier you find yourself drifting. You can also if

1345
03:57:18.360 --> 03:57:34.399
you choose stay focused on my voice and really enjoy

1346
03:57:35.159 --> 03:58:02.559
the process of gradually relaxing each muscle in your body

1347
03:58:03.520 --> 03:58:32.680
effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.

1348
03:58:38.680 --> 03:58:45.680
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,

1349
03:58:47.600 --> 03:58:56.760
and you can notice your mind calming down more with

1350
03:58:57.120 --> 03:59:10.879
each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm

1351
03:59:11.319 --> 04:02:10.159
and slow and peaceful sex five, four, three, two one,

1352
04:02:10.639 --> 04:02:20.639
being aware of how your mind has slowed right down,

1353
04:02:23.479 --> 04:02:46.879
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1354
04:02:47.159 --> 04:02:58.719
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,

1355
04:02:59.639 --> 04:03:09.239
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

1356
04:03:09.319 --> 04:03:24.559
your attention. That's what you can do is send love

1357
04:03:24.760 --> 04:03:38.399
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love like all

1358
04:03:38.520 --> 04:03:44.200
petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals

1359
04:03:44.239 --> 04:03:51.479
filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts

1360
04:03:51.639 --> 04:03:58.520
know that you're not abandon in them. You just need them,

1361
04:03:59.639 --> 04:04:10.840
You quiet them, to just calm down, slow down, quiet

1362
04:04:11.159 --> 04:04:26.520
down for now. So as you focus on those remaining

1363
04:04:26.680 --> 04:04:32.000
thoughts as we count down this time from seven down

1364
04:04:32.040 --> 04:04:41.120
to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower

1365
04:04:41.239 --> 04:05:00.399
petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which will

1366
04:05:00.399 --> 04:05:10.360
allow them to just melt away and relax deeply. With

1367
04:05:10.520 --> 04:05:24.760
every number, those thoughts will become more and more relaxed,

1368
04:05:30.319 --> 04:08:01.479
starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, one. And

1369
04:08:01.680 --> 04:08:19.159
as you now notice how relaxed your feeling in your body,

1370
04:08:27.479 --> 04:08:40.719
we're going to focus on your hands, because the more

1371
04:08:40.799 --> 04:08:47.879
relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body and

1372
04:08:48.159 --> 04:09:09.840
mind are. And you focus on your hands and your fingers,

1373
04:09:15.239 --> 04:09:20.000
there's nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching of

1374
04:09:20.319 --> 04:09:24.879
fists or tents in the fingers or anything like that.

1375
04:09:32.079 --> 04:09:46.360
It's just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how

1376
04:09:46.440 --> 04:10:11.159
they feel. Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the

1377
04:10:11.360 --> 04:10:20.840
calmer your mind feels, and the more comfort you feel

1378
04:10:22.879 --> 04:10:24.360
throughout your body.

1379
04:10:29.600 --> 04:10:33.520
And you may.

1380
04:10:35.680 --> 04:11:18.200
Have already noticed your mind is starting to drest like

1381
04:11:18.520 --> 04:11:33.559
since just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to

1382
04:11:36.000 --> 04:11:47.559
experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands

1383
04:11:47.600 --> 04:12:13.680
and fingers more and more relaxed. With each number from

1384
04:12:13.840 --> 04:12:27.280
eight down to one, you can almost feel that healing

1385
04:12:28.639 --> 04:12:43.440
and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming

1386
04:12:45.040 --> 04:13:02.319
year more relaxing with each number you hear going down

1387
04:13:03.959 --> 04:13:27.559
eight down to one, drifting, drifting again, starting with number

1388
04:13:34.319 --> 04:17:25.319
eight seven six, five four three fo just being here now,

1389
04:17:27.559 --> 04:17:33.680
nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,

1390
04:17:37.799 --> 04:17:48.959
and everything just feels calmer. And this is your natural

1391
04:17:49.040 --> 04:17:57.000
state of being. This is how you just normally feel

1392
04:17:57.719 --> 04:18:06.200
when you take away all that other stuff that we add,

1393
04:18:07.360 --> 04:18:19.040
you know, things like stress and worrying and overthinking and anxiety, tension,

1394
04:18:23.239 --> 04:18:29.000
just generally thinking about stuff. When you take that away,

1395
04:18:30.000 --> 04:18:39.079
which is what we do, what we do now, you're

1396
04:18:39.159 --> 04:18:50.399
left with a real sense of peacefulness which comes to

1397
04:18:50.440 --> 04:19:04.079
you very quickly because ultimately it's just a feeling, a

1398
04:19:04.280 --> 04:19:12.959
feeling of comfort, almost as if you've gone inside yourself

1399
04:19:13.000 --> 04:19:24.680
and you've found a special place where everything is peaceful,

1400
04:19:27.559 --> 04:19:33.079
a place where you can feel relaxed and your natural

1401
04:19:35.120 --> 04:19:41.479
sense of comfort, a place where you can be you,

1402
04:19:46.159 --> 04:19:53.200
where you can accept yourself for who you are, a

1403
04:19:53.280 --> 04:19:59.799
place where you're not trying to please anybody else ever,

1404
04:20:03.760 --> 04:20:12.399
a place where you can actually not just love yourself,

1405
04:20:12.440 --> 04:20:17.920
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself,

1406
04:20:20.399 --> 04:20:37.760
appreciate who you are. That sense of gratitude is in

1407
04:20:37.840 --> 04:20:48.959
the air all around you. That's also a place where

1408
04:20:49.000 --> 04:21:04.840
you can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.

1409
04:21:06.000 --> 04:21:17.399
Healing energy soaking into your body, and that healing energy

1410
04:21:17.760 --> 04:21:28.079
spreads through your veins, traveling to each and every single

1411
04:21:28.479 --> 04:21:39.680
part of your body, and you start to realize that actually,

1412
04:21:40.399 --> 04:21:46.520
that healing energy, it's not just entered into your brain,

1413
04:21:49.319 --> 04:21:59.399
it's become part of your brain, and that spinal fluid

1414
04:22:01.479 --> 04:22:12.479
is now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you

1415
04:22:12.559 --> 04:22:20.600
to feel so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment,

1416
04:22:25.040 --> 04:22:34.520
but also you start to realize that actually, what's happening

1417
04:22:34.680 --> 04:22:43.280
now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body,

1418
04:22:45.159 --> 04:22:56.000
it's actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way

1419
04:22:56.079 --> 04:23:02.680
you're going to feel not just now, but tomorrow and

1420
04:23:02.799 --> 04:23:11.760
the next day. As your health improves, not just your

1421
04:23:11.799 --> 04:23:19.639
physical health, but your mental health. Things that used to

1422
04:23:19.760 --> 04:23:25.879
bother you in the past, for some reason, no longer

1423
04:23:27.200 --> 04:23:33.760
have the effect that they used to because something has

1424
04:23:34.200 --> 04:23:47.239
changed deep within you. Maybe things that used to cause

1425
04:23:47.319 --> 04:23:59.319
you to feel anger no longer have that power to

1426
04:23:59.440 --> 04:24:05.120
control you the way they seem to be able to before.

1427
04:24:08.760 --> 04:24:19.600
As you realize that you're the one who decides what

1428
04:24:19.879 --> 04:24:31.639
affects you, you're the one who decides to feel relaxed

1429
04:24:32.440 --> 04:24:45.319
and calm when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural

1430
04:24:46.280 --> 04:24:59.600
developments of healing, continuing to grow and improve your life

1431
04:25:01.000 --> 04:25:12.879
day by day, including of course your ability to relax

1432
04:25:13.479 --> 04:25:29.000
so much easier and sleeping is the most natural thing

1433
04:25:29.319 --> 04:25:39.319
in the world to you, because falling asleep is something

1434
04:25:39.479 --> 04:25:50.360
that you've done so many times in your life, and

1435
04:25:50.479 --> 04:25:54.319
you know that you were born, as we all were,

1436
04:25:55.079 --> 04:26:05.239
with the ability to fall asleep naturally. We were born

1437
04:26:06.399 --> 04:26:16.840
with that ability to just drift off into a deep,

1438
04:26:18.079 --> 04:26:29.920
healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep

1439
04:26:29.959 --> 04:26:33.959
when we don't even want to try to think us

1440
04:26:34.079 --> 04:26:38.440
stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in the morning, or

1441
04:26:38.520 --> 04:26:42.840
it's Christmas or holiday or something we look forward to.

1442
04:26:43.319 --> 04:26:47.399
We don't want to go to sleep. But the more

1443
04:26:47.920 --> 04:26:52.840
we want to stay awake, the more we just start

1444
04:26:52.920 --> 04:27:01.319
to drift. And the more you fight drifting were we

1445
04:27:01.440 --> 04:27:06.040
try to stop yourself and drift in a shape the

1446
04:27:06.200 --> 04:27:18.079
deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not

1447
04:27:18.360 --> 04:27:24.520
just with the need to relax deeply and to naturally

1448
04:27:24.600 --> 04:27:34.159
fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of our

1449
04:27:34.360 --> 04:27:46.479
DNA and sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps

1450
04:27:46.719 --> 04:27:59.760
at times we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's not

1451
04:27:59.799 --> 04:28:25.040
a wonderfully pleasant experience. It's also really easy. It's very

1452
04:28:25.760 --> 04:28:32.079
very easy to let go, because that's all it is.

1453
04:28:32.120 --> 04:28:46.959
It's just deciding to let go. And when you press

1454
04:28:47.120 --> 04:28:55.319
the play button on my recordings, you have given permission

1455
04:28:57.639 --> 04:29:05.399
for my voice to relax you. When you press that

1456
04:29:05.559 --> 04:29:15.040
play button, you've given me permission for my words to

1457
04:29:15.200 --> 04:29:29.799
affect you in a positive, only a positive way, opening

1458
04:29:29.879 --> 04:29:53.239
up your mind too useful and healing suggestions that can

1459
04:29:53.440 --> 04:30:04.319
have such an amazing effect act on how you feel

1460
04:30:04.920 --> 04:30:19.239
right now, as well as those changes that continue long

1461
04:30:19.520 --> 04:30:30.000
after the recording ends. Those changes within you to continue

1462
04:30:30.040 --> 04:30:43.319
to flourish and grow, transforming your life in a positive,

1463
04:30:45.120 --> 04:30:54.719
beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in your life

1464
04:30:56.200 --> 04:31:11.040
in the direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling,

1465
04:31:13.760 --> 04:31:21.879
this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,

1466
04:31:29.639 --> 04:31:43.600
just feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

1467
04:31:51.479 --> 04:32:05.280
and that positivity grows within you each and every day.

1468
04:32:08.319 --> 04:32:18.159
Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed

1469
04:32:20.479 --> 04:32:32.840
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's

1470
04:32:32.879 --> 04:32:38.479
not that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind

1471
04:32:38.520 --> 04:32:50.440
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from

1472
04:32:50.520 --> 04:33:01.079
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now you're going

1473
04:33:01.159 --> 04:33:11.959
to start noticing when negativity arises, and you can just

1474
04:33:12.000 --> 04:33:26.520
say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn around and

1475
04:33:26.759 --> 04:33:54.000
leave you alone. Stop and that negativity will disappear. And

1476
04:33:54.119 --> 04:34:00.479
as you notice that you feel way more related axed

1477
04:34:01.840 --> 04:34:17.200
than you probably expected, you can now congratulate yourself because

1478
04:34:17.400 --> 04:34:23.799
you're the person that has done this. You are the

1479
04:34:23.919 --> 04:34:29.720
one that has opened your mind up to the simple facts.

1480
04:34:33.080 --> 04:34:38.119
You can feel more relaxed in your body and in

1481
04:34:38.240 --> 04:34:50.279
your mind. You've opened your mind up to the birthright

1482
04:34:50.400 --> 04:34:59.080
of being able to just fall asleep easily when you choose.

1483
04:35:07.680 --> 04:35:14.880
And that's a nice feeling. Don't you think it feels nice?

1484
04:35:14.959 --> 04:35:24.360
Doesn't it? To feel calm? All that healing energy is

1485
04:35:24.439 --> 04:35:35.360
spreading through your body and your mind to spend time

1486
04:35:35.520 --> 04:35:46.360
in a special place where negativity can no longer enter.

1487
04:35:52.759 --> 04:36:02.000
Negativity is banned. It's bad, it's not allowed. Intrigue doesn't

1488
04:36:02.240 --> 04:36:06.880
it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't belong here.

1489
04:36:10.439 --> 04:36:25.319
Negativity has no place in your life, which makes room

1490
04:36:25.520 --> 04:36:56.560
feel more comfort, more healing, more relaxation, more peace. It

1491
04:36:56.560 --> 04:37:08.240
feels nice, doesn't it? Just the let go with everything.

1492
04:37:21.919 --> 04:37:29.040
I'm going to count down now from twenty down to one.

1493
04:37:29.680 --> 04:37:36.720
You can continue to relax. If you choose, you can

1494
04:37:39.360 --> 04:37:49.840
drift to sleep with every number you hear me say,

1495
04:37:54.200 --> 04:38:01.599
you can fill twice as relaxed, or if you choose,

1496
04:38:01.680 --> 04:39:43.720
you can fill twice sleepy now. Twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten,

1497
04:39:51.400 --> 04:41:07.599
nine eats seven, six, five four. This is your time

1498
04:41:10.319 --> 04:41:24.680
to just take a break, your time to relax, to

1499
04:41:24.759 --> 04:41:37.720
allow your mind to slow down, to give yourself permission

1500
04:41:42.439 --> 04:41:55.840
to take a break from everything. And you're the only

1501
04:41:56.000 --> 04:42:02.919
person that can make that decision. You're the only person

1502
04:42:03.040 --> 04:42:18.880
that can actually tell your mind to just relax, to

1503
04:42:19.159 --> 04:42:35.639
just take some time off so that you can focus

1504
04:42:35.720 --> 04:42:43.200
on your body, getting in touch with how you feel physically.

1505
04:42:52.080 --> 04:42:58.520
And in the process of this body scan where you

1506
04:42:59.279 --> 04:43:09.759
focus on different parts of your body, those parts that

1507
04:43:09.840 --> 04:43:18.159
you focus on and observe, even though you're not purposely

1508
04:43:19.319 --> 04:43:27.319
requesting for those parts of your body to relax, it's

1509
04:43:27.439 --> 04:43:33.759
kind of expected. You expect when you listen to my

1510
04:43:33.880 --> 04:43:46.840
voice to feel more relaxed naturally, because when you're listening

1511
04:43:46.919 --> 04:44:01.639
to me, your attention is focused on my words, and

1512
04:44:01.759 --> 04:44:13.200
as my words guide you to focus on those parts

1513
04:44:13.240 --> 04:44:31.599
of your body, your focus increases, which actually calms your mind.

1514
04:44:39.479 --> 04:44:58.680
And when your mind calms down, your body relaxes. And

1515
04:44:58.799 --> 04:45:21.479
when your body calms down, your mind relaxes. And even

1516
04:45:21.639 --> 04:45:28.759
though we've not really started the focus on your body,

1517
04:45:31.680 --> 04:45:46.759
you can already feel that healing energy spreading through your body,

1518
04:45:47.639 --> 04:46:01.959
pushing out stress and tension, healing all the parts of

1519
04:46:02.040 --> 04:46:11.840
your body, including your skin, your bones, your blood, all

1520
04:46:11.880 --> 04:46:16.560
of your organs inside your body, all of the muscles,

1521
04:46:17.799 --> 04:46:24.959
all of the fat, all of everything, every hair on

1522
04:46:25.040 --> 04:46:38.520
your body is filled with that healing energy. And when

1523
04:46:38.560 --> 04:46:54.880
your brain fills with that healing energy, the feeling of

1524
04:46:55.000 --> 04:47:19.159
comfort and relaxation increases, deeply increases in a way to

1525
04:47:22.680 --> 04:47:39.400
your mind starts to feel perhaps bit drowsy because it's

1526
04:47:39.520 --> 04:47:58.759
not needed, and it may start to drift if that's

1527
04:47:58.919 --> 04:48:07.279
what's needed. So if you're listening to this and what

1528
04:48:07.319 --> 04:48:13.520
you need is deep relaxation, that's what you get. If

1529
04:48:13.560 --> 04:48:20.959
what you need is to fall asleep, naturally and easily

1530
04:48:21.840 --> 04:48:35.159
as your mind drifts. That's also what will happen because

1531
04:48:35.319 --> 04:48:43.200
by pressing that play button on the podcast and listening

1532
04:48:43.319 --> 04:48:49.799
to me, you give permission for your body and your mind.

1533
04:48:52.799 --> 04:49:01.880
In fact, you give the command to your body and

1534
04:49:01.959 --> 04:49:13.720
your mind to relax deeply and to drift off to sleep,

1535
04:49:15.000 --> 04:49:29.840
if that's what you want or need. And as I

1536
04:49:30.119 --> 04:49:40.360
focus on the different parts of your body, you may

1537
04:49:41.840 --> 04:49:49.479
start to just drift. And then you come back again

1538
04:49:50.520 --> 04:49:54.520
and you hear me talking, and I'm focusing on a

1539
04:49:54.840 --> 04:50:06.840
different parts of your body, and you may find yourself drifting.

1540
04:50:09.599 --> 04:50:16.880
You don't realize you're drifting until you stop drifting and

1541
04:50:17.159 --> 04:50:24.360
you're alert again to my voice, focusing on a different

1542
04:50:24.479 --> 04:50:34.040
part of your body starts to relax even deeper, because

1543
04:50:34.159 --> 04:50:47.840
that drifting is basically you already in the sleep zone.

1544
04:50:48.680 --> 04:50:53.919
And the more you drift, the longer you drift, and the

1545
04:50:54.000 --> 04:51:09.360
longer you drift, eventually that drifting continues into sleep, and

1546
04:51:09.479 --> 04:51:18.680
that's the last you remember until you wake up in

1547
04:51:18.799 --> 04:51:24.400
your own time. When you experience the right amount of sleep,

1548
04:51:25.240 --> 04:51:34.360
fear because when you do and if you do fall asleep,

1549
04:51:34.560 --> 04:51:52.279
it's extremely pleasant, so relaxing, so deep healing, sleep.

1550
04:51:59.639 --> 04:51:59.720
M.

1551
04:52:01.799 --> 04:52:09.279
Going. It feels so nice to relax into your own

1552
04:52:09.400 --> 04:52:18.680
body and mind as you feel that heating energy is

1553
04:52:18.840 --> 04:52:34.279
spreading through it, relaxing news so deeply, relaxing us so

1554
04:52:34.279 --> 04:52:49.159
so deeply. As we start to focus on your eyes,

1555
04:52:57.000 --> 04:53:43.959
moving down to you chure, down to your neck, your shoulders, arms, hands, fingers,

1556
04:53:51.080 --> 04:54:23.080
your chest, the stomach, your back, your spine, you hps,

1557
04:54:31.000 --> 04:55:14.639
your legs, your feet, you chose and feeding, eating, spreading

1558
04:55:14.840 --> 04:55:28.720
and growing inside your body, feeling you up. Now let's

1559
04:55:28.799 --> 04:55:39.080
focus again on parts of your body, focusing this time

1560
04:55:39.159 --> 04:55:54.680
on your forehead. Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1561
04:55:55.400 --> 04:56:11.680
the whole of your mouth. Focus in on your fingers.

1562
04:56:16.880 --> 04:56:21.479
Maybe you could move your fingers a little bit. You

1563
04:56:21.599 --> 04:56:37.279
can focus on each one individually, both hands, and even

1564
04:56:37.319 --> 04:56:41.080
though as you focus on both of your hands now

1565
04:56:42.639 --> 04:56:50.919
they almost seem to just melt into one where there

1566
04:56:50.959 --> 04:56:54.720
is your right hand start in your left hand end,

1567
04:56:58.240 --> 04:57:09.759
almost as if you just mixed together. Now focusing on

1568
04:57:09.799 --> 04:57:38.119
your knees, just noticing how your knees feel. Now, focusing

1569
04:57:38.279 --> 04:57:50.720
on your elbows, focusing on both of your elbows, just

1570
04:57:50.919 --> 04:58:28.119
observing the feeling of your elbows. Now focusing absurding the

1571
04:58:28.159 --> 04:58:43.880
back of your neck, feeding the energy the back of

1572
04:58:43.959 --> 04:59:35.959
your neck, obsurving your ankles, being aware of physical sensations

1573
04:59:36.159 --> 05:00:49.360
in your ankles, noticin now your toes on, go for

1574
05:00:49.479 --> 05:01:23.759
your feet, being aware your toast feel right now mhm,

1575
05:01:41.520 --> 05:02:15.360
no to sin, how your entire body feels, noticing your

1576
05:02:15.560 --> 05:03:07.400
mind feels now, letting go, letting go, letting go everything,

1577
05:03:15.639 --> 05:03:57.319
letting go, letting go, leting go everything everything. I'm going

1578
05:03:57.400 --> 05:04:01.119
to start now, and I would like you just, first

1579
05:04:01.119 --> 05:04:06.680
of all, just to see yourself lying down on that

1580
05:04:06.840 --> 05:04:12.840
message table, lying on your front. Your head is supported,

1581
05:04:13.200 --> 05:04:21.919
your arms are supported, and you feel comfortable, and breathing

1582
05:04:22.159 --> 05:04:31.599
is really easy, and you feel you feel confident in

1583
05:04:31.639 --> 05:04:33.880
how you look as well. So there's none of that

1584
05:04:34.040 --> 05:04:41.880
issue of body problems or shyness because I'm a professional

1585
05:04:41.959 --> 05:04:48.360
and this is a therapy session, so none of that

1586
05:04:48.479 --> 05:04:58.880
stuff matters whatsoever. This is about you. This is about

1587
05:04:59.080 --> 05:05:07.240
how you feel and how you can enjoy that sense

1588
05:05:07.319 --> 05:05:13.479
of comfort and relaxation that comes from letting go and

1589
05:05:13.520 --> 05:05:21.680
allowing my hands and my fingers to relax you by

1590
05:05:21.680 --> 05:05:30.279
a massaging your body. So I want to start off

1591
05:05:30.400 --> 05:05:35.360
just by placing my hands on the back of your head,

1592
05:05:36.759 --> 05:05:42.159
just gently, just you can feel what my hands feel

1593
05:05:42.240 --> 05:05:49.000
like really on you, so you can maybe feel the

1594
05:05:49.040 --> 05:05:53.599
warmth of my hands on the back of your head.

1595
05:05:54.919 --> 05:05:58.479
With my hands to the side of your head, not pressing,

1596
05:05:58.599 --> 05:06:05.040
but just holding the very gently, maybe over your ears,

1597
05:06:05.479 --> 05:06:08.479
and a little bit on your face, just so you

1598
05:06:08.520 --> 05:06:24.759
can feel my hands so you can become accustomed to them.

1599
05:06:25.080 --> 05:06:27.279
And now put my hands on the back of your

1600
05:06:27.319 --> 05:06:34.759
head again and gently let them slide down onto the

1601
05:06:34.759 --> 05:06:51.799
back of your neck. You can feel my hands gently

1602
05:06:52.000 --> 05:06:54.360
stroke in the back of your neck to start with,

1603
05:06:58.919 --> 05:07:03.119
just so you can get used to the feeling my

1604
05:07:03.279 --> 05:07:10.599
hands on your skin, get accustomed to it, realize that

1605
05:07:11.080 --> 05:07:21.200
you're safe and it's all good, it's all fine, And

1606
05:07:21.240 --> 05:07:25.360
I'm going to start gently messaging the muscles in the

1607
05:07:25.400 --> 05:07:41.319
back of your neck with both hands. Now, this is

1608
05:07:41.319 --> 05:07:47.759
a very trusting situation really, because our necks are so

1609
05:07:47.919 --> 05:07:53.000
fragile and to have someone have their hands around your

1610
05:07:53.040 --> 05:07:58.040
neck in that way can sometimes be problematic for people,

1611
05:07:59.200 --> 05:08:03.080
which is why I mass sages are quite good because

1612
05:08:03.080 --> 05:08:11.720
it allows you to relax and to get in touch

1613
05:08:11.919 --> 05:08:28.840
with trust, to feel peaceful and calm. And there's a

1614
05:08:28.919 --> 05:08:37.680
massage the sides of your neck gently moving from the

1615
05:08:37.680 --> 05:08:41.560
bottom of your neck. It would be sort of near

1616
05:08:41.560 --> 05:08:44.959
where your shoulders start, I guess, all the way up

1617
05:08:46.919 --> 05:08:52.400
to your jaw, your ears, kind of area that side

1618
05:08:52.439 --> 05:08:57.479
of your neck. Of course, it's a lot longer than

1619
05:08:57.840 --> 05:09:13.880
the front of your neck. The message in the back

1620
05:09:13.919 --> 05:09:22.560
of your neck, especially that area where perhaps we hold tension,

1621
05:09:26.759 --> 05:09:31.319
and as that area's message, you can actually feel a

1622
05:09:31.439 --> 05:09:39.439
sense of release in the back of your neck, and

1623
05:09:39.599 --> 05:09:44.880
maybe you can breathe it out as well. Notice how

1624
05:09:44.919 --> 05:09:57.959
it feels. Notice how you feel. And then moving down

1625
05:09:58.119 --> 05:10:03.959
to that area between neck in your shoulders, that musty area,

1626
05:10:06.639 --> 05:10:14.119
starting to message that area on both sides. I mean,

1627
05:10:14.119 --> 05:10:16.439
this would be the area that a lot of people

1628
05:10:16.479 --> 05:10:19.360
would message if they were going to give you, like

1629
05:10:19.439 --> 05:10:25.400
a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders, but

1630
05:10:25.520 --> 05:10:29.799
it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders from

1631
05:10:29.840 --> 05:10:36.240
the neck and a game that can hold tension and stress,

1632
05:10:37.439 --> 05:10:42.520
and when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful,

1633
05:10:45.520 --> 05:11:01.000
and you decide how deep that message is and just

1634
05:11:01.159 --> 05:11:08.080
allow my knuckles just to dig in to get to

1635
05:11:08.200 --> 05:11:18.240
those muscles and to read relaxed all the time, being

1636
05:11:18.479 --> 05:11:36.000
firm yet gentle with you and just stroking down the

1637
05:11:36.200 --> 05:11:44.720
area to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of

1638
05:11:44.799 --> 05:11:55.919
your shoulders, and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders

1639
05:11:55.959 --> 05:11:59.319
a little bit of the table, just to give you

1640
05:11:59.400 --> 05:12:09.840
a little bit of a stretch, but very gently, and

1641
05:12:09.880 --> 05:12:12.479
you've got the muscles at the front of your shoulders

1642
05:12:13.159 --> 05:12:24.159
the sides of the back. Again, this is a part

1643
05:12:24.319 --> 05:12:29.680
that can really take quite a bit of pressure, quite

1644
05:12:29.720 --> 05:12:37.840
a bit of needing if if you wish to really

1645
05:12:39.639 --> 05:12:45.159
release the tension to really get into those muscles and

1646
05:12:48.639 --> 05:12:53.040
can let your fingers in there. They can feel really nice.

1647
05:12:54.959 --> 05:13:02.560
Sometimes just being stroked gently or being messile, just quite strongly,

1648
05:13:06.200 --> 05:13:15.639
it can all be beneficial to the realaxation with the

1649
05:13:15.720 --> 05:13:29.319
muscles in your shoulders. Now you move down your arms.

1650
05:13:35.840 --> 05:13:39.360
We do one arm at a time, starting with your

1651
05:13:39.479 --> 05:13:50.279
right arm. My ideas I just lift your arm up,

1652
05:13:51.119 --> 05:13:56.200
just hold it to the side of you that way

1653
05:13:56.400 --> 05:14:02.799
still be attached, and I just message the tops of

1654
05:14:02.880 --> 05:14:19.159
your arms all the way down to your forearms into

1655
05:14:19.200 --> 05:14:43.159
your wrists, gently massaging that parts. The softer part which

1656
05:14:43.240 --> 05:14:49.599
is the under part of the arm, which leads to

1657
05:14:49.680 --> 05:14:55.080
the crease in your robo the inside. It's much more

1658
05:14:55.240 --> 05:15:14.959
sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked, I feel really nice,

1659
05:15:15.400 --> 05:15:35.279
pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down to your right hand,

1660
05:15:35.319 --> 05:15:47.520
just holding your hand in both of my hands, just

1661
05:15:47.560 --> 05:15:53.919
pressing gently on the back of your hand and stretching

1662
05:15:54.040 --> 05:16:04.799
your fingers ever so lightly at the same time, pressing

1663
05:16:04.919 --> 05:16:18.279
down and massaging each finger, and then starting to massage

1664
05:16:18.360 --> 05:16:28.919
the palms of the hand. Just turning the hand gently,

1665
05:16:30.680 --> 05:16:40.560
stretching it gently, and actually having your hand held can

1666
05:16:40.680 --> 05:16:47.520
really be an emotional experience sometimes even if it is

1667
05:16:47.720 --> 05:16:53.159
a stranger. So when you don't know very well, like

1668
05:16:53.240 --> 05:16:59.919
a massage person or a therapist, maybe because it's into

1669
05:17:00.119 --> 05:17:12.639
that and you can feel nice, you can feel safe.

1670
05:17:20.400 --> 05:17:23.360
And as I put that right arm back down where

1671
05:17:23.360 --> 05:17:31.319
it was, we're gonna do the same with your left

1672
05:17:31.439 --> 05:17:44.439
arm exactly the same. Massage in the muscles and your

1673
05:17:44.560 --> 05:17:52.599
arm all the way down. Do your rest stroking the

1674
05:17:52.639 --> 05:18:02.599
inside of your arm, just beIN gentle or as firm

1675
05:18:02.720 --> 05:18:22.880
as you require. And then massaging your left hand, stretching

1676
05:18:22.959 --> 05:18:32.400
the fingers gently, massaging the palm of your left hand.

1677
05:18:44.439 --> 05:19:12.639
You can feel so so relaxing, so comforting, and just

1678
05:19:12.840 --> 05:19:25.759
rest your left down back down, start to massage your back,

1679
05:19:27.400 --> 05:19:35.439
the biggest part of your body, starting at the top,

1680
05:19:38.680 --> 05:19:42.799
starting again where we already been, the area at the

1681
05:19:42.840 --> 05:19:49.119
top in between his shoulders and near your neck. Going

1682
05:19:49.200 --> 05:19:53.919
back a message in that area again, but this time

1683
05:19:54.240 --> 05:20:07.200
moving downwards. H taking a downward stroke to the middle

1684
05:20:07.240 --> 05:20:14.720
of your back, working from the outside inwards. It's a

1685
05:20:14.840 --> 05:20:22.279
massage in the your back, but the the outsides of

1686
05:20:22.360 --> 05:20:33.040
your back, the parts where your arms with maybe rest against,

1687
05:20:40.119 --> 05:20:45.599
almost the part that connects your front to your back.

1688
05:20:55.159 --> 05:21:03.959
Just massaging down firmly but gently, as firm as you want,

1689
05:21:07.360 --> 05:21:11.759
moving down and moving across a little bit, and moving

1690
05:21:11.799 --> 05:21:17.840
all the way down again, being very gentle yet firm

1691
05:21:18.040 --> 05:21:29.720
as you choose. Eventually we get to the spine. We

1692
05:21:29.799 --> 05:21:33.880
can message the muscles on either side of your spine

1693
05:21:34.759 --> 05:21:37.799
from the top of your neck all the way down

1694
05:21:40.560 --> 05:21:49.599
to your lower back. We can do that a few times.

1695
05:21:52.560 --> 05:21:59.880
Sometimes people use the knuckle or the you know, two

1696
05:22:00.119 --> 05:22:05.959
fingers and just go your side of the spine, almost

1697
05:22:06.360 --> 05:22:09.439
just push down, go all the way down to the

1698
05:22:09.439 --> 05:22:18.080
bottom of the spine, each time releasing tension and opening

1699
05:22:18.159 --> 05:22:27.279
up the body, stretching your body so that you feel

1700
05:22:27.959 --> 05:22:45.439
more relaxed, but at the same time rejuvenated. And now

1701
05:22:45.479 --> 05:22:53.520
I'm going to move to one side, to your right side,

1702
05:22:54.159 --> 05:22:58.880
and from the bottom of your ribs to your pelvis

1703
05:23:00.119 --> 05:23:06.840
the message that area of your back. I'll stretch over

1704
05:23:06.959 --> 05:23:10.840
the other side and i will pull the muscles gently

1705
05:23:11.799 --> 05:23:16.759
and massage and push from one end that side or

1706
05:23:16.759 --> 05:23:21.119
the way to my side to the middle of fact

1707
05:23:21.840 --> 05:23:26.680
to where your spine is. Massaging that side of your

1708
05:23:26.720 --> 05:23:33.799
spine the opposite side to where I'm standing. It's almost

1709
05:23:33.919 --> 05:23:41.520
like kneading bread. There's that big area which is firm

1710
05:23:42.000 --> 05:23:51.479
yet lots there to message. Potentially one of the most

1711
05:23:51.520 --> 05:23:59.279
important places to actually have a message because you feel it.

1712
05:24:01.200 --> 05:24:06.240
You really feel the release and the pleasure of having

1713
05:24:06.319 --> 05:24:13.840
your lower back massaged. It releases so much from your

1714
05:24:13.840 --> 05:24:23.959
body that's not useful, starting a healing process which will

1715
05:24:23.959 --> 05:24:37.040
continue long after this recording is over. The message in

1716
05:24:37.119 --> 05:24:40.400
this part of your body not only feels really good

1717
05:24:41.000 --> 05:24:46.119
for you, it's actually fun to do because it is,

1718
05:24:46.599 --> 05:24:51.639
as I said, like kneading bread. It's a part that

1719
05:24:51.680 --> 05:24:56.919
you can really get hold of and really massage deeply.

1720
05:24:59.159 --> 05:25:09.560
If that's your then I'm going to move over to

1721
05:25:09.599 --> 05:25:12.240
the other side of your body and do the same

1722
05:25:15.880 --> 05:25:24.040
with the opposite part of your lawer back, kneading and

1723
05:25:24.200 --> 05:25:32.439
messaging from your sides all the way to the middle

1724
05:25:32.479 --> 05:25:41.000
of your back where your spine is pressing and kneading

1725
05:25:46.080 --> 05:25:51.520
firm and gentle at the same time. It feels so

1726
05:25:52.240 --> 05:26:03.959
releasing this mixture of pleasure, comfort, really lease, calmness, relaxation

1727
05:26:05.360 --> 05:26:15.279
or mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your stomach

1728
05:26:15.759 --> 05:26:20.840
as it's being stretched. Even though you're in your stomach now,

1729
05:26:21.360 --> 05:26:25.159
you can feel it being stretched because that whole area

1730
05:26:25.279 --> 05:26:36.400
is connected to your stomach. Now we're going to move

1731
05:26:36.680 --> 05:26:41.479
or move further up to your top of your body,

1732
05:26:42.080 --> 05:26:49.720
and I we did the same this time, starting with

1733
05:26:49.799 --> 05:26:55.360
your upper back, put my hands forward over and messing

1734
05:26:55.479 --> 05:27:03.000
massage in that area to your spine, from the side

1735
05:27:03.040 --> 05:27:07.040
of your body up to your spine. So some of

1736
05:27:07.080 --> 05:27:14.159
that massage area, the muscle tissue or whatever fatty tissue

1737
05:27:14.200 --> 05:27:19.759
even will be possibly from your chest because all connected

1738
05:27:20.200 --> 05:27:26.479
chest and the back connect together. I'm going to be

1739
05:27:26.560 --> 05:27:31.599
massaging and just pulling some of that skin from your

1740
05:27:31.720 --> 05:27:41.159
side up and massaging that area of your upper back

1741
05:27:42.919 --> 05:27:49.439
all the way to your spine. And then I'll move

1742
05:27:49.560 --> 05:27:52.319
down a bit and I'll continue with the middle of

1743
05:27:52.360 --> 05:27:59.639
your back, doing exactly the same thing as gentle or

1744
05:27:59.720 --> 05:28:13.520
as deep as you choose. Now move the other side

1745
05:28:13.520 --> 05:28:18.400
again and do the exact same thing with the top

1746
05:28:18.439 --> 05:28:27.840
of your back on the other side, from pretty much

1747
05:28:27.919 --> 05:28:41.360
underneath your arm area really to your spine, and then

1748
05:28:41.479 --> 05:28:48.759
continuing that all the way down, including your lower your

1749
05:28:48.959 --> 05:29:06.279
middle of your back. I'm gonna go to your thighs,

1750
05:29:07.439 --> 05:29:17.080
the backs of your thighs, and the sides of your thighs,

1751
05:29:17.119 --> 05:29:26.080
starting with your right leg. Massage in the back and

1752
05:29:26.200 --> 05:29:34.799
the sides of your thighs gently and firmly. There's a

1753
05:29:34.840 --> 05:29:38.279
lot of muscles there. It's an area that can be

1754
05:29:38.400 --> 05:29:42.720
very tense at times and maybe needs a little bit

1755
05:29:42.720 --> 05:29:46.400
more pressure than the rest of the body. That's up

1756
05:29:46.439 --> 05:29:56.639
to you. You can gently stroke the back of your

1757
05:29:56.720 --> 05:30:02.599
legs where you know opposite you're knee joint or underneath

1758
05:30:02.639 --> 05:30:15.639
your knee joint, very sensitive, gentle area. And then working

1759
05:30:15.759 --> 05:30:23.919
down to your calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles

1760
05:30:24.080 --> 05:30:37.599
thoroughly and deeply, if you choose, using both hands and fingers,

1761
05:30:37.919 --> 05:30:51.360
digging deep to your ankles, in the back of your

1762
05:30:52.159 --> 05:31:00.159
back of your ankles, just gently massage in that area.

1763
05:31:03.639 --> 05:31:20.319
Maybe lifting the leg and stretching a little bit. Moving

1764
05:31:21.040 --> 05:31:35.319
to the right foot, massage in the bottom of your

1765
05:31:35.360 --> 05:31:50.840
feet and the side of your fate gently but firm

1766
05:31:50.959 --> 05:32:02.040
enough so they don't tickle, and just allow the pleasure

1767
05:32:02.119 --> 05:32:07.720
that you get from having your feet massaged to just

1768
05:32:07.840 --> 05:32:16.799
overtake you. As I continue to message your feet, the

1769
05:32:16.840 --> 05:32:24.720
bottoms of your feet, the sides, your arches, your heel.

1770
05:32:27.080 --> 05:32:29.360
You can put a lot of pressure into your heel

1771
05:32:30.119 --> 05:32:35.159
and it feels amazing, Yet the arches need to be

1772
05:32:35.200 --> 05:32:46.919
a bit more gentle. Stretching your toes gently and massage

1773
05:32:47.000 --> 05:32:53.080
in the bottoms of your toes with my fingers, each

1774
05:32:53.119 --> 05:33:06.799
one individually. Moving her to the left leg to do

1775
05:33:06.959 --> 05:33:15.799
exactly the same thing, starting at the top of the thighs,

1776
05:33:17.919 --> 05:33:20.439
work in the back of the thighs and the sides,

1777
05:33:22.119 --> 05:33:32.560
massaging deeply and gently the whole area, working all the

1778
05:33:32.560 --> 05:33:45.400
way down. And this is an area that maybe you

1779
05:33:45.479 --> 05:33:53.240
could like to spend more time relaxing and massaging. So

1780
05:33:53.319 --> 05:33:58.639
perhaps if you wanted, I could make a future recording

1781
05:33:59.279 --> 05:34:08.119
what's been more time on one particular area. As you

1782
05:34:08.240 --> 05:34:20.680
move down to your calf muscles, massage in your calf

1783
05:34:20.759 --> 05:34:35.919
muscles firmly and gently moving down your ain, cool into

1784
05:34:35.959 --> 05:34:43.560
your feet, Massage in the backs of your feet, the

1785
05:34:43.680 --> 05:34:52.919
bottoms of your feet, stretching your toes, and massage in

1786
05:34:52.959 --> 05:35:00.919
each tone individually. And the feeling of pleasure and release

1787
05:35:01.200 --> 05:35:08.439
that you experience when your having your feet massaged feels

1788
05:35:08.479 --> 05:35:28.159
really good. Now just turn over in your mind. Laying

1789
05:35:28.240 --> 05:35:40.880
on your back, I'm just going to start again for

1790
05:35:41.040 --> 05:35:55.880
your neck area, in your shoulders, just to get back

1791
05:35:55.919 --> 05:36:05.520
in touch with that area. And as you move up,

1792
05:36:13.200 --> 05:36:18.040
I can clean my hands, make them more fresh, because

1793
05:36:18.080 --> 05:36:27.279
now I'm gonna message your face gently, starting off with

1794
05:36:27.360 --> 05:36:38.119
your forehead. Your eyes are closed, and I can just

1795
05:36:38.599 --> 05:36:44.959
stretch your eyes a little bit, pushing up on your eyebrows,

1796
05:36:51.639 --> 05:37:02.759
just massaging around, just scalp message, arging down your cheeks,

1797
05:37:04.119 --> 05:37:16.560
around your ears, into your jaw, gently the side of

1798
05:37:16.639 --> 05:37:34.319
your neck, your chin m hm, and just moving down

1799
05:37:38.439 --> 05:37:45.919
from your neck down to your chest, starting by message

1800
05:37:46.000 --> 05:37:52.840
in the very top of your chest where the collar

1801
05:37:52.919 --> 05:38:06.439
bone is, either side of the collarbone, and then just

1802
05:38:06.759 --> 05:38:20.439
message in the whole of the chest, moving the chest around,

1803
05:38:28.560 --> 05:38:33.319
because it's quite a large area. You can move from

1804
05:38:33.400 --> 05:38:44.520
one side to the next. Moving my hands underneath pretty

1805
05:38:44.560 --> 05:38:54.200
much where your arms are stretching up, stretching some of

1806
05:38:54.200 --> 05:39:02.240
the muscles of your back in the process, moving up

1807
05:39:03.360 --> 05:39:23.159
over your chest and they're moving down again, and then

1808
05:39:23.200 --> 05:39:29.119
allowing my hands to just massage gently and slide down

1809
05:39:30.400 --> 05:39:35.360
towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,

1810
05:39:38.799 --> 05:39:45.520
and then gradually my hands moving apart and massage in

1811
05:39:45.560 --> 05:39:54.680
and slide in at the same time, moving down to

1812
05:39:54.880 --> 05:40:10.520
just below your red cage, moving down, then messaging up again,

1813
05:40:13.360 --> 05:40:21.240
giving your chest all the attention that it needs to

1814
05:40:21.439 --> 05:40:33.720
feel completely relaxed. Remembering that I'm also going to be

1815
05:40:33.759 --> 05:40:39.840
focusing on your sides as well, an area that really

1816
05:40:40.080 --> 05:40:47.680
doesn't get much attention, that feels really good when it's massaged.

1817
05:40:52.560 --> 05:40:59.720
Just stroking my hands down the sides of your body,

1818
05:41:00.360 --> 05:41:03.799
just below your arms, all the way down to your hips.

1819
05:41:13.400 --> 05:41:19.319
Now move into your stomach area. We're going to stand

1820
05:41:19.400 --> 05:41:22.119
one side of you like I did when I did

1821
05:41:22.159 --> 05:41:28.400
your lower back. We go do a similar process of

1822
05:41:28.639 --> 05:41:43.479
just stretching the muscles from your side, gently massaging from

1823
05:41:43.479 --> 05:41:51.159
one side to the next, move in a whole area

1824
05:41:52.200 --> 05:41:56.159
from below your ribs all the way down to below

1825
05:41:56.200 --> 05:42:05.799
your belly button, and then move around to the other

1826
05:42:05.919 --> 05:42:21.759
side of you and repeat that process of relaxing deeply, calmly.

1827
05:42:24.880 --> 05:42:32.080
You feel loose, you feel free. And it's something about

1828
05:42:32.159 --> 05:42:37.000
having your stomach message that's different from any other part

1829
05:42:40.520 --> 05:42:45.040
because we do have a tendency of holding a different

1830
05:42:45.159 --> 05:42:49.200
kind of stress in our stomach that we may not

1831
05:42:49.319 --> 05:43:00.319
be aware of. As in our message your stomach in

1832
05:43:00.439 --> 05:43:07.919
front of your stomach, making circles around your belly button,

1833
05:43:13.680 --> 05:43:23.360
and then going the other way around. There's a gentleness

1834
05:43:23.400 --> 05:43:29.400
and a freedom that comes from feeling how you're feeling.

1835
05:43:34.919 --> 05:43:39.720
As I now move down the tops of your thighs,

1836
05:43:41.319 --> 05:43:47.200
the muscles, massaging them, and I can do this two

1837
05:43:47.279 --> 05:43:57.599
legs at the same time, pressing down, massaging deeply those

1838
05:43:57.720 --> 05:44:06.759
muscles in your thighs, the front of your thighs, and

1839
05:44:07.000 --> 05:44:18.200
moving down to your knees, gently massaging your knees, sliding

1840
05:44:18.360 --> 05:44:23.880
down your shins, putting pressure on either side of your

1841
05:44:23.919 --> 05:44:36.799
shin gently softly but firmly, moving down to your ankles,

1842
05:44:41.680 --> 05:44:51.400
stroking the tops of your feet, and then with each

1843
05:44:52.680 --> 05:44:58.159
foot in each hand, just gently messaging the whole of

1844
05:44:58.200 --> 05:45:07.000
the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel, your ankle,

1845
05:45:07.840 --> 05:45:20.319
your toes, messaging every part of your feet feels so good.

1846
05:45:20.919 --> 05:45:37.680
Just let go and enjoy the process. Enjoy feeling so

1847
05:45:38.000 --> 05:45:52.520
deeply relaxed, so much comfort, and so many feelings that

1848
05:45:52.680 --> 05:46:07.159
come just from touching your skin. And you can just

1849
05:46:08.319 --> 05:46:17.959
lie there for as long as you choose, enjoying the

1850
05:46:18.000 --> 05:46:36.319
feeling of deep comfort and being massaged by me. Enjoy

1851
05:46:39.919 --> 05:47:01.720
feeling deeply right. And all we're gonna do is blow

1852
05:47:01.759 --> 05:47:18.200
out some candles. In your mind, there are gonna be

1853
05:47:18.200 --> 05:47:29.080
a hundred candles, and you're going to blow each one

1854
05:47:29.119 --> 05:47:40.240
out individually, one by one, starting at one hundred. As

1855
05:47:40.279 --> 05:47:52.000
I count down all the way down to one, and

1856
05:47:52.080 --> 05:48:00.959
each time I say a number, you can imagine that

1857
05:48:01.119 --> 05:48:08.080
candle in front of you. I'd like you to actually

1858
05:48:08.360 --> 05:48:27.080
physically gently blow that candle out, just so it's not

1859
05:48:27.439 --> 05:48:42.439
big blows, just a gentle, and that candle will extinguish.

1860
05:48:43.200 --> 05:48:47.840
And then I'll say the next number to move down,

1861
05:48:51.000 --> 05:48:57.560
and you can just h blow that one out as well.

1862
05:49:03.479 --> 05:49:12.040
And as we move down the numbers, you'll find yourself

1863
05:49:13.119 --> 05:49:21.799
feeling more and more relaxed. If you need to sleep,

1864
05:49:22.639 --> 05:49:34.759
you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact,

1865
05:49:34.919 --> 05:49:45.000
you may struggle to blow out all one hundred of

1866
05:49:45.119 --> 05:50:03.560
these candles. As you feel more and more deeply relaxed,

1867
05:50:10.200 --> 05:50:28.560
more and more deep tired, and the further you go down,

1868
05:50:30.840 --> 05:50:44.479
the more your mind starts to drift. You may find

1869
05:50:44.840 --> 05:50:59.240
that you stop listening to me after a while, and

1870
05:51:00.200 --> 05:51:09.279
then maybe background sounds where you are. You'll be aware

1871
05:51:09.319 --> 05:51:24.520
of those sounds at the moment, be me start to

1872
05:51:24.919 --> 05:51:39.799
just not even notice them at all, because they're unimportant.

1873
05:51:47.759 --> 05:51:53.000
Where I am, I've got the sounds of the birds,

1874
05:51:54.840 --> 05:52:00.959
there's horrors, the pigeon who likes to say hello some times,

1875
05:52:03.400 --> 05:52:11.799
and there's the odd plane that goes by, maybe traffic

1876
05:52:12.119 --> 05:52:23.040
and trains in the distance, But none of that seems

1877
05:52:23.159 --> 05:52:41.159
important whatsoever. More candles you blow out less important. Anything is.

1878
05:52:45.959 --> 05:52:55.240
More candles you blow out, the further you seem to

1879
05:52:57.119 --> 05:53:15.319
move away from sounds and from general date days, stuff

1880
05:53:16.919 --> 05:53:31.040
seems to just move away on its own. You feel

1881
05:53:31.479 --> 05:53:51.680
more calmer with every candle you blow out, guiding you

1882
05:53:55.119 --> 05:54:08.360
the next number the hear me say, and then you

1883
05:54:08.560 --> 05:54:26.000
blow that candle out to h So easy, so simple.

1884
05:54:35.560 --> 05:54:49.400
We're gonna start by introducing the first candle. When she

1885
05:54:49.479 --> 05:55:06.599
is a hundred, first candle s is one hundred. When

1886
05:55:06.840 --> 05:55:21.639
you blow that candle out, you'll find immediately a slight

1887
05:55:23.639 --> 05:55:35.560
change in how you feel, as well as a real

1888
05:55:35.840 --> 05:55:57.479
sense of positivity growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding.

1889
05:56:06.279 --> 05:56:53.799
Starting with one hundred blowing out by candle now ninety nine,

1890
05:56:54.639 --> 05:58:03.240

1919
06:53:00.200 --> 06:53:25.599
Hm hm.

1920
06:53:34.599 --> 06:53:53.560
Caned or let go of all of those thoughts, worries,

1921
06:53:53.840 --> 06:53:59.880
concerns about the past, thoughts about the future, and even

1922
06:54:01.439 --> 06:54:05.799
things you've been thinking about today. Just let it all

1923
06:54:05.840 --> 06:54:12.080
go because none of it is useful in this moment.

1924
06:54:17.000 --> 06:54:32.400
This is your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed,

1925
06:54:36.680 --> 06:54:43.119
allowing yourself to get in touch with that natural sense

1926
06:54:45.200 --> 06:54:53.319
of peace that we all have within us. It's available

1927
06:54:53.400 --> 06:54:58.240
for everyone. It just sometimes takes a little bit of

1928
06:54:58.360 --> 06:55:05.759
effort to set up the right time and place in

1929
06:55:06.000 --> 06:55:12.279
order for you to just let go. Because when you

1930
06:55:12.479 --> 06:55:20.240
do decide to let go and relax, that's what your

1931
06:55:20.279 --> 06:55:29.000
body starts to do because you've chosen, You've chosen to

1932
06:55:29.439 --> 06:55:36.560
just allow your body to unwind and your mind starts

1933
06:55:36.639 --> 06:55:44.119
to slow down. And it's a nice feeling. It's a

1934
06:55:44.200 --> 06:55:48.439
nice feeling at the beginning, just to know that you

1935
06:55:48.919 --> 06:55:59.200
have chosen to decide to relax deeply, and because you've

1936
06:55:59.319 --> 06:56:04.959
made that this decision, your body will just follow suit.

1937
06:56:07.520 --> 06:56:12.159
Because sometimes all the muscles in your body need is

1938
06:56:12.479 --> 06:56:22.080
just permission from you to relax. Because so often we're busy,

1939
06:56:22.360 --> 06:56:26.560
we're going from here to there, we're walking around, and

1940
06:56:26.639 --> 06:56:33.959
we're doing stuff, and the body doesn't have any time

1941
06:56:34.240 --> 06:56:42.639
or space to really relax deeply. So it kind of

1942
06:56:42.720 --> 06:56:48.279
waits for you to lead the way, waits for your permission.

1943
06:56:52.639 --> 06:56:59.119
And when you do give your permission, when you give

1944
06:56:59.200 --> 06:57:05.479
to say so, we can say okay, it's time for

1945
06:57:05.599 --> 06:57:15.240
your body to let go completely and relax totally. Your

1946
06:57:15.279 --> 06:57:24.759
body just follows. It's like a breath of relief. Ah good,

1947
06:57:24.880 --> 06:57:31.759
I can now relax. That feeling at the end of

1948
06:57:31.840 --> 06:57:35.119
the day of a very physical day that you may

1949
06:57:35.200 --> 06:57:39.000
experience in the past. But you get home and you

1950
06:57:39.240 --> 06:57:42.959
just sit down on a chair, maybe you kick your

1951
06:57:43.080 --> 06:57:49.319
shoes off, and ah, feels so nice knowing that you

1952
06:57:49.400 --> 06:57:53.560
don't have to get up again for a little while

1953
06:57:53.599 --> 06:57:57.319
at least if you choose, you can just sit there

1954
06:57:57.439 --> 06:58:10.000
for maybe an hour to It feels blissful. And just

1955
06:58:10.200 --> 06:58:15.240
by sitting down like that, your body knows that it's

1956
06:58:15.360 --> 06:58:21.040
time to relax. Your body has been given permission from you.

1957
06:58:23.240 --> 06:58:33.560
Because it's a mindset in your mind, you're prepared to

1958
06:58:33.759 --> 06:58:43.319
let go of everything and just completely allow all the

1959
06:58:43.639 --> 06:58:52.400
stress of your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just

1960
06:58:52.759 --> 06:59:12.159
gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really, because that sense

1961
06:59:12.439 --> 06:59:18.680
of relaxation in your body, it's a very natural state.

1962
06:59:20.560 --> 06:59:25.159
It's not something unusual. It may feel unusual when you

1963
06:59:25.319 --> 06:59:28.599
first start to relax, if you if you haven't really

1964
06:59:30.040 --> 06:59:33.919
spent a lot of time focusing and giving yourself this

1965
06:59:34.119 --> 06:59:39.159
space to let go completely and relax. They seem are

1966
06:59:39.279 --> 06:59:47.599
most alien, but it isn't. It's actually the most natural

1967
06:59:47.720 --> 06:59:56.279
thing in the world to let go completely, to relax totally,

1968
06:59:58.279 --> 07:00:05.000
the most natural thing in the world to allow yourself

1969
07:00:09.400 --> 07:00:16.759
to feel really calm in your mind. And it is

1970
07:00:17.040 --> 07:00:24.720
almost like a literal unwinding. It's like you press a

1971
07:00:24.840 --> 07:00:33.560
button and all the tension just releases, and it's like

1972
07:00:33.720 --> 07:00:37.639
a wheel, like a cog, like the inside of a clock,

1973
07:00:37.880 --> 07:00:41.720
just unwinding. And it's almost like you could see the

1974
07:00:42.720 --> 07:00:48.040
little wind up knob that's used just going the opposite

1975
07:00:48.080 --> 07:00:54.080
way that you choose to wind it up, and the

1976
07:00:54.319 --> 07:01:04.919
energy that fremetic stress for energy gradually winding down, losing

1977
07:01:05.040 --> 07:01:12.799
its power, losing its strength. As a sense of relaxation

1978
07:01:13.200 --> 07:01:23.959
becomes stronger and deeper, and you may find a the

1979
07:01:24.159 --> 07:01:31.159
more relaxed you feel, that your mind starts to wonder,

1980
07:01:34.319 --> 07:01:40.159
maybe seem to stop listening to me for a while,

1981
07:01:40.319 --> 07:01:46.919
and your mind goes somewhere else, and then you realize

1982
07:01:46.959 --> 07:01:51.959
you're listening to me again, and that was just your

1983
07:01:52.119 --> 07:02:02.040
mind drifting to sleep, which is quite natural, sure, because

1984
07:02:02.119 --> 07:02:09.720
sometimes when we're stressed and tense, we're not mean I

1985
07:02:09.799 --> 07:02:14.840
actually be aware of what we need, what we physically

1986
07:02:15.080 --> 07:02:24.119
or emotionally need in this moment. But when you allow

1987
07:02:25.319 --> 07:02:31.159
your body and mind to relax completely and you let

1988
07:02:31.279 --> 07:02:40.479
go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas, all letting them go,

1989
07:02:41.520 --> 07:02:50.080
allow them to drop onto the floor, you start to

1990
07:02:52.279 --> 07:03:02.360
get in touch with the feelings of such relaxation. This

1991
07:03:03.159 --> 07:03:09.840
feels so nice to be in touch with the calmness

1992
07:03:11.759 --> 07:03:20.720
of the different body parts as they become looser and looser.

1993
07:03:24.959 --> 07:03:37.159
Even your breathing seems easier and more natural, effortless, as

1994
07:03:37.200 --> 07:03:43.200
that cooldenters through your mouth or nose into your lungs,

1995
07:03:45.880 --> 07:03:54.240
breathing in comforts and relaxation, and in just breathing out

1996
07:03:54.479 --> 07:04:03.360
any excess remain intentional stress from every part of your

1997
07:04:03.439 --> 07:04:11.200
body and mind. And as you start to focus on

1998
07:04:11.319 --> 07:04:19.479
your mind, maybe you notice that things have come to

1999
07:04:19.599 --> 07:04:26.959
a standstill or maybe just much much lower than before,

2000
07:04:30.200 --> 07:04:37.159
because your mind is not really needed when listening to

2001
07:04:37.360 --> 07:04:46.959
my voice, which allows your mind to relax just as

2002
07:04:47.119 --> 07:04:57.080
deeply as your body. And that's synchronicity between the relaxation

2003
07:04:58.119 --> 07:05:05.119
of your body relaxation of your mind.

2004
07:05:07.479 --> 07:05:08.720
Let you know that.

2005
07:05:10.840 --> 07:05:23.279
Feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed really is a great

2006
07:05:24.279 --> 07:05:41.319
healing experience fear and has so many positive benefits for

2007
07:05:41.400 --> 07:05:47.560
your body, mind, and your life. To be able to

2008
07:05:47.799 --> 07:05:59.520
let go everything and to relax completely in all part

2009
07:06:00.240 --> 07:06:07.759
of your body and mind. Even your bones as are relaxed,

2010
07:06:11.000 --> 07:06:23.720
all your muscles are relaxed, even the skin that covers

2011
07:06:24.000 --> 07:06:40.360
your body is relaxed, every hair that you have, it's

2012
07:06:40.439 --> 07:06:58.840
also deeply relaxed, and your brain restarts to feel the

2013
07:06:59.000 --> 07:07:14.080
benefits but this healing relaxation, and as you focus on

2014
07:07:14.240 --> 07:07:19.959
the inside of your scalp where your brain is, you

2015
07:07:20.119 --> 07:07:28.040
can start to realize and notice the benefits of your

2016
07:07:28.200 --> 07:07:40.159
brain relaxing deeply. And then as your brain continues to react,

2017
07:07:43.319 --> 07:07:51.799
sends those messages to the rest of your body and

2018
07:07:52.680 --> 07:08:18.000
your mind to re reax deeply, relaxy more completely, letting

2019
07:08:18.240 --> 07:08:29.959
go of any remaining thoughts or concens allowed them just

2020
07:08:30.200 --> 07:08:36.720
to drop onto the floor because they're no longer necessary

2021
07:08:38.000 --> 07:08:49.840
in this moment, In this moment of deep relaxation and calmness,

2022
07:08:52.200 --> 07:09:18.799
filling your brain with deep concentrated heathing, calming, relaxing every

2023
07:09:19.479 --> 07:09:38.680
part of your brain feething, so loose and comfortable, so relaxed,

2024
07:09:40.599 --> 07:09:49.799
and be peaceful your brain feels so light.

2025
07:09:52.080 --> 07:09:53.639
That's so healthy.

2026
07:09:56.319 --> 07:10:06.360
In that sense of deep de comfort really does allow

2027
07:10:06.720 --> 07:10:20.159
you to enjoy those ever increase in sensations of comfort

2028
07:10:21.840 --> 07:10:34.639

2030
07:10:51.959 --> 07:10:54.799
deeper than before.

So very peace from your head down to your ties.

07:13:14.479 --> 07:13:25.639
Such peace and comfort spreading through your body and mind

2043
07:13:28.159 --> 07:13:44.520
deep and deeper, Such comfort spreading and sinking deeper into

2044
07:13:44.880 --> 07:13:55.799
a muscle of your body, so that you feel amazing,

2045
07:13:58.799 --> 07:14:29.720
so that so peaceful, so peaceful, letting go every I'm

2046
07:14:29.720 --> 07:14:36.080
going to do a body scan, focusing on firstly how

2047
07:14:36.159 --> 07:14:41.479
you feel in your body, not trying to change how

2048
07:14:41.560 --> 07:14:47.360
you feel, not trying to relax, not trying to move

2049
07:14:47.439 --> 07:14:54.319
away from any discomforts or stress or tension. Just accepting,

2050
07:14:55.880 --> 07:15:01.080
observing and accepting how you feel the different parts of

2051
07:15:01.159 --> 07:15:08.080
your body. Just allowing yourself to be exactly as you are,

2052
07:15:11.959 --> 07:15:20.040
to notice, to get in touch with how you actually

2053
07:15:20.159 --> 07:15:29.599
feel in this moment. I'm going to start off by

2054
07:15:29.720 --> 07:15:38.560
focusing on your hands. Just be aware of your hands.

2055
07:15:43.959 --> 07:15:48.400
I'd like you to move your hands around, just maybe

2056
07:15:48.520 --> 07:15:54.319
move your fingers a little bit. I've been enclosing your

2057
07:15:54.439 --> 07:16:01.919
hands very gently, just so that you can get in

2058
07:16:02.159 --> 07:16:14.279
touch with how your hands and your fingers fell, very

2059
07:16:15.439 --> 07:16:33.279
very slow movements. Focusing now on your feet, and if

2060
07:16:33.360 --> 07:16:37.360
you can just do kind of an equivalent with your

2061
07:16:37.479 --> 07:16:44.599
feet is you've just done with your hands, Maybe turn

2062
07:16:44.759 --> 07:16:52.319
in your ankles, moving your feet around, moving your toes

2063
07:16:52.560 --> 07:17:07.840
gently but only very gently, very slowly, noticing how your

2064
07:17:08.000 --> 07:17:21.119
feet feel in this moment. Focusing now and your eyes,

2065
07:17:24.040 --> 07:17:28.479
and I'd like you to just focus on your eyelids.

2066
07:17:30.919 --> 07:17:33.959
Maybe you can open and close your eyes a couple

2067
07:17:34.000 --> 07:17:39.599
of times to really get in touch with how you feel.

2068
07:17:39.720 --> 07:17:47.720
When you do close your eyes, the muscle changes in

2069
07:17:47.840 --> 07:17:54.720
your eyes when you do close them, Maybe raising your eyebrows.

2070
07:17:56.439 --> 07:18:04.279
It stretches the tops of your eyes, perhaps squinting your eyes,

2071
07:18:08.040 --> 07:18:13.360
scrunching up your eyes just so you can really again

2072
07:18:13.639 --> 07:18:27.119
touch with all aspects of how your eyes feel right now,

2073
07:18:36.479 --> 07:18:42.479
now focusing on your thighs, and you know it just

2074
07:18:42.560 --> 07:18:50.880
starts you to gently tense your thighs, just very very gently,

2075
07:18:53.240 --> 07:19:03.880
just enough so you can become more attuned to the

2076
07:19:05.200 --> 07:19:13.639
physical sensation of your upper legs, the front of your thighs,

2077
07:19:13.919 --> 07:19:24.959
and the backs of your thigh noticing and observing how

2078
07:19:27.279 --> 07:19:42.360
your thighs fear. Right now, moving your focus to the

2079
07:19:42.479 --> 07:19:49.319
back of your neck, just noticing the back of your neck,

2080
07:19:50.799 --> 07:19:56.080
the muscles, and of course they lead to the side

2081
07:19:56.159 --> 07:20:00.319
of your neck. They also lead to the top of

2082
07:20:00.400 --> 07:20:06.759
your back, which leads to your shoulders. So as your

2083
07:20:07.080 --> 07:20:12.799
focus on the back of your neck, maybe you can

2084
07:20:13.720 --> 07:20:19.240
move your head gently upwards as if you're looking up.

2085
07:20:21.200 --> 07:20:26.840
Maybe moving your head down as if you're looking down.

2086
07:20:29.959 --> 07:20:34.840
Perhaps moving your head side to side, right to left,

2087
07:20:36.919 --> 07:20:49.799
only very slowly, very gently. I'm not trying to force anything.

2088
07:20:51.599 --> 07:21:00.479
It has to be very very gentle, just so that

2089
07:21:00.720 --> 07:21:12.599
you can be more in touch with the feelings, with

2090
07:21:12.919 --> 07:21:21.319
the sensations, the physical sensations of how back of your

2091
07:21:21.560 --> 07:21:40.200
neck fields. Right now, as we now focus on the

2092
07:21:40.400 --> 07:21:46.279
tops of your arms, the parts where your biceps and

2093
07:21:46.360 --> 07:21:54.279
your triceps are between your elbow and your shoulders. To

2094
07:21:54.520 --> 07:22:01.400
focus on those parts the tops of your arms, you

2095
07:22:01.560 --> 07:22:09.520
may like to just tense them, but very very gently

2096
07:22:11.400 --> 07:22:20.439
and slowly. See you're not straining or putting any pressure

2097
07:22:21.560 --> 07:22:32.840
whatsoever on your arms. It's just slowly you can gain

2098
07:22:33.360 --> 07:22:41.439
more of the sense of how your upper arms are

2099
07:22:41.799 --> 07:22:53.200
feeling in this moment, and just noticing as you gently,

2100
07:22:55.360 --> 07:23:04.959
very gently and slowly tighten the muscles and then let go.

2101
07:23:09.240 --> 07:23:17.639
Notice how the tops of your arms feel right now

2102
07:23:25.799 --> 07:23:36.599
as a now focus on your stomach, the area the

2103
07:23:36.720 --> 07:23:43.040
lower abdomen area below your belly button, moving all the

2104
07:23:43.119 --> 07:23:56.880
way down to your hips, just above your grind. Maybe

2105
07:23:57.080 --> 07:24:04.680
you're able to tense these muscles in the area very

2106
07:24:06.959 --> 07:24:20.240
very gently and slowly, if that's a difficult thing to do,

2107
07:24:21.520 --> 07:24:29.720
and maybe you can just move your body, pushing your

2108
07:24:29.799 --> 07:24:34.680
stomach up, maybe moving a little bit to the side

2109
07:24:35.279 --> 07:24:43.400
using your hips, just so you can get more in

2110
07:24:43.840 --> 07:24:55.400
tune with how you're lower appto an area is feeling

2111
07:24:58.200 --> 07:25:15.759
in this moment. Just noticing the physical sensations or your

2112
07:25:15.919 --> 07:25:34.880
lower abdomen as you move your attention to your mouth.

2113
07:25:40.240 --> 07:25:48.439
Notice in your lips and inside your mouth, the teeth,

2114
07:25:49.520 --> 07:26:05.680
your guns, your tongue, just noticing how your tongue in

2115
07:26:05.759 --> 07:26:15.439
your mouth feels. It may help by moving your tongue

2116
07:26:16.799 --> 07:26:23.759
around your mouth, moving it to your left, maybe pressing

2117
07:26:23.840 --> 07:26:30.520
it gently against the side of your mouth, and then

2118
07:26:30.959 --> 07:26:35.840
to the right, gently to the side of your mouth,

2119
07:26:38.959 --> 07:26:44.439
perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth, and

2120
07:26:44.599 --> 07:26:53.439
then down gently against the bottom of your mouth, always

2121
07:26:54.439 --> 07:27:13.639
very slowly, very very gentle, so that you can be

2122
07:27:13.799 --> 07:27:37.400
aware of how you feel in your mouth area now

2123
07:27:41.840 --> 07:27:58.000
and to focus on your wrists. And I'll ask you

2124
07:27:58.439 --> 07:28:07.200
to maybe just routine your wrists by moving your hands

2125
07:28:08.560 --> 07:28:19.720
in a circular motion very gently and slowly, just.

2126
07:28:21.439 --> 07:28:22.840
So that you can.

2127
07:28:28.520 --> 07:28:47.319
Feel the sensations that you are currently experiencing in your wrists.

2128
07:28:51.639 --> 07:29:04.520
Perhaps move in your hands up and down very very

2129
07:29:05.040 --> 07:29:41.319
gently and slowly, very gentzor and slow as you now

2130
07:29:43.959 --> 07:29:58.439
start to observe your lower back. The bay part is

2131
07:30:00.200 --> 07:30:08.279
just the bum of your hips where your coxis are

2132
07:30:15.759 --> 07:30:21.959
a whole area which also really does include the side

2133
07:30:22.919 --> 07:30:28.400
of your body because those muscles are very much connected.

2134
07:30:33.680 --> 07:30:40.680
There's those muscles also move into your hip area connecting

2135
07:30:40.959 --> 07:30:55.840
to your buttocks, the sides of your hips, and if

2136
07:30:55.919 --> 07:31:06.119
you're physically able to do so, maybe even very gently.

2137
07:31:08.319 --> 07:31:21.639
Just move your body ever so slightly, very slowly some side,

2138
07:31:21.840 --> 07:31:42.159
decide just enough to gauge how you feel in your

2139
07:31:42.319 --> 07:31:58.000
lower back. Perhaps it could even move your hips gently

2140
07:32:00.319 --> 07:32:16.479
up and down gently, slowly, in order to be in

2141
07:32:16.799 --> 07:32:43.040
touch with the physical sensations of your law back. As

2142
07:32:43.119 --> 07:32:58.680
we now live, your attention to your jaw, that area

2143
07:32:59.080 --> 07:33:04.040
for your chin hm, all the way up to near

2144
07:33:04.159 --> 07:33:23.319
where your ears are. Of your jaw, you can just yeah,

2145
07:33:23.360 --> 07:33:33.599
it's okay to do so. Gently open your mouth, not wide,

2146
07:33:34.119 --> 07:33:45.080
no stretching, just very gently and slowly opening your mouth

2147
07:33:49.119 --> 07:34:07.520
in closing your mouth very gently and slowly, so you

2148
07:34:07.680 --> 07:34:24.439
can be in touch with how your joy feels. Now.

2149
07:34:51.360 --> 07:35:07.119
I to sit now the chest area. You don't need

2150
07:35:07.319 --> 07:35:15.000
to do anything to move your chest because it moves

2151
07:35:15.479 --> 07:35:27.360
every time you breathe, and it moves very gently and

2152
07:35:28.040 --> 07:35:45.599
slowly automatically with each breath you take. As you focus

2153
07:35:46.159 --> 07:36:32.360
on how your chest feels when you breath, move in

2154
07:36:32.599 --> 07:36:47.720
your focus to your forearms, your elbows. Maybe you're able

2155
07:36:48.159 --> 07:37:01.319
to very gently that's slowly tense the muscles in your

2156
07:37:01.599 --> 07:37:11.479
forearms and when you do that, you can feel your

2157
07:37:11.639 --> 07:37:44.439
elbows as well, very gently and slowly, gently and softly

2158
07:37:48.599 --> 07:37:59.599
obsad your forearms and elbows.

2159
07:38:00.040 --> 07:38:10.360
M No.

2160
07:38:19.360 --> 07:38:38.000
Focus the rest of your back, your upper back in

2161
07:38:38.360 --> 07:38:56.360
the middle, the middle of your back again, this part

2162
07:38:56.560 --> 07:39:11.200
of your body. News. Also every time you pray. You

2163
07:39:11.439 --> 07:39:25.200
may not notice that. Usually mas you serve your upper

2164
07:39:25.439 --> 07:39:32.759
back in the middle of your back. You can really

2165
07:39:33.360 --> 07:40:29.080
feel that gentle and slow movement moving your focus.

2166
07:40:30.599 --> 07:40:31.279
Into your.

2167
07:40:32.799 --> 07:40:45.639
Area of buttees the grain. There's muscles and those bones

2168
07:40:48.240 --> 07:41:29.000
in your midsection. Just noticing how your hips feel. Right now,

2169
07:41:36.520 --> 07:41:52.279
you can very very gently move your hips, maybe side

2170
07:41:52.479 --> 07:42:39.360
to side, very gently and a yeah, very softly. M No.

2171
07:42:45.119 --> 07:43:01.639
Everything starts to slow down, include in the thoughts in

2172
07:43:01.759 --> 07:43:11.720
your mind and your mind itself just starts to gradually.

2173
07:43:13.720 --> 07:43:20.319
It doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting too.

2174
07:43:21.639 --> 07:43:30.400
It's almost like time is straight chin. It's a slower

2175
07:43:30.560 --> 07:43:38.439
pace to maybe what you're used to in your day

2176
07:43:38.520 --> 07:44:00.520
to day life. It's a slower movement of energy, very

2177
07:44:04.919 --> 07:44:13.319
small movements which make up the larger movements, which is

2178
07:44:13.400 --> 07:44:21.159
always the case. Now, when you move your hand, it

2179
07:44:21.279 --> 07:44:24.040
might seem like it's one movement but it's lots of

2180
07:44:24.840 --> 07:44:32.240
minute different muscles moving in accordance with each other. And

2181
07:44:37.200 --> 07:44:49.560
what happens in this space that we're sharing is we

2182
07:44:49.799 --> 07:45:10.680
move from that big movement into those smaller movements. Starting

2183
07:45:10.840 --> 07:45:21.639
to focus on how your body feels, not just as

2184
07:45:21.680 --> 07:45:26.000
a whole, not just oh, i'm feel in this way.

2185
07:45:26.080 --> 07:45:32.200
I'm feeling stressed or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm.

2186
07:45:33.479 --> 07:45:40.119
I'm feeling this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to

2187
07:45:40.360 --> 07:45:51.560
notice that your body begins to present to you small

2188
07:45:52.680 --> 07:46:09.040
feelings around your body, small physical sensations in your legs,

2189
07:46:11.799 --> 07:46:25.000
whether pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting the temptation to label

2190
07:46:25.080 --> 07:46:34.639
them or to judge them those feelings, just thinking them,

2191
07:46:35.520 --> 07:46:48.479
thinking about them is just being neutral, just feelings, not

2192
07:46:48.720 --> 07:46:59.759
being particularly concerned, but just noticing what your body is

2193
07:46:59.840 --> 07:47:13.680
telling you, the feelings in your arms, instead of feeling

2194
07:47:13.799 --> 07:47:22.479
the hole of the arm, maybe notice those individual feelings,

2195
07:47:23.959 --> 07:47:35.400
all those different muscles and the skin, the hairs of

2196
07:47:35.520 --> 07:47:41.279
your arms, all the internal parts of your arms, the veins,

2197
07:47:51.439 --> 07:48:00.560
the bones. Just being aware of maybe you're elbo on

2198
07:48:00.720 --> 07:48:09.040
your right arm has a certain feeling, Maybe your left

2199
07:48:09.159 --> 07:48:21.520
wrist also has its own individual physical sensation.

2200
07:48:33.959 --> 07:48:40.639
What about your forearm, on your right arm, your right forearm,

2201
07:48:48.040 --> 07:48:49.240
there may not be any.

2202
07:48:49.599 --> 07:48:56.840
Particular feeling that you could even give a name to,

2203
07:49:00.560 --> 07:49:04.919
may not feel like anything other than just a feeling.

2204
07:49:05.840 --> 07:49:17.919
You know, it's there. The feelings in your shoulders, perhaps

2205
07:49:18.000 --> 07:49:21.720
your shoulders when you think about them, kind of almost

2206
07:49:21.919 --> 07:49:28.599
like they're the same, you know, the same feeling, almost

2207
07:49:28.759 --> 07:49:31.560
like you both of your shoulders are just one thing.

2208
07:49:33.400 --> 07:49:44.439
Of course they're not. And when you focus on your

2209
07:49:44.560 --> 07:49:52.759
left shoulder and then on your right shoulder, maybe find

2210
07:49:52.919 --> 07:49:58.319
that you move the muscles a little bit, maybe tense

2211
07:49:58.439 --> 07:50:24.000
the muscles gently, noticing the difference in each shoulder. Your

2212
07:50:24.080 --> 07:50:39.959
lower back, the left side of your lower back and

2213
07:50:40.759 --> 07:50:51.479
the right side of your lower back of course that

2214
07:50:51.680 --> 07:51:04.119
connection to your buttocks and to your hips, and also

2215
07:51:04.319 --> 07:51:18.040
moving up into the middle of your back. And sometimes

2216
07:51:18.439 --> 07:51:21.919
like right now, actually when I focus on their part,

2217
07:51:23.279 --> 07:51:27.680
when I focused on my buttocks and then I focused

2218
07:51:27.720 --> 07:51:31.840
on the middle of my back, it almost felt like

2219
07:51:32.040 --> 07:51:36.799
the muscles in my lower back were being stretched very gently,

2220
07:51:41.560 --> 07:51:46.840
just stretched a little bit. Even though I wasn't doing

2221
07:51:46.919 --> 07:51:55.720
anything to try to stretch your lower back, it just

2222
07:51:55.799 --> 07:52:08.080
seemed to happen. The feeling of very gently stretching your

2223
07:52:08.159 --> 07:52:27.240
lower back comes along. I have feeling in your chest,

2224
07:52:34.880 --> 07:52:48.279
just noticing what sensations you are experiencing in your chest

2225
07:52:48.560 --> 07:53:04.799
right now. And there's so much of the chest. Obviously,

2226
07:53:04.880 --> 07:53:08.520
there's the collar bone leading to the chest. You've got

2227
07:53:08.560 --> 07:53:17.159
the chest bone, You've got the muscles in your chest.

2228
07:53:19.959 --> 07:53:26.240
Of course, if you're female, there's possibly the breasts. Your

2229
07:53:26.319 --> 07:53:34.639
male you've got the different well why not that different

2230
07:53:34.680 --> 07:53:41.919
these days, but there may be more muscles at the

2231
07:53:42.000 --> 07:53:49.439
top of the chest, but at the side underneath it's

2232
07:53:49.520 --> 07:53:52.439
pretty much the same. Whether you're a man or a woman.

2233
07:53:53.360 --> 07:53:59.080
There's muscles there, muscles that stretch out to your back

2234
07:54:00.319 --> 07:54:03.840
as well as breast tissue. It stretches and moves into

2235
07:54:03.919 --> 07:54:20.200
your back. To just being aware of your chest, being

2236
07:54:27.360 --> 07:54:47.319
with whatever feeling there is in your chest. When I

2237
07:54:47.479 --> 07:54:55.520
noticed I focus on my chest, I feel it in

2238
07:54:55.680 --> 07:55:00.040
my back and my upper back. I mean, I I

2239
07:55:00.040 --> 07:55:03.000
guess the obvious reason would be because you know, I'll

2240
07:55:03.080 --> 07:55:13.959
breathe in in and it stretches my chest and my

2241
07:55:14.080 --> 07:55:27.799
back at the same time. It feels it feels okay,

2242
07:55:34.360 --> 07:55:39.240
it doesn't feel I got a little bit of pain

2243
07:55:39.319 --> 07:55:45.959
in my right chest a little bit, not pain, but

2244
07:55:46.000 --> 07:55:55.840
a little discomfort, maybe stiffness possibly, I don't know. I

2245
07:55:56.000 --> 07:56:04.040
notice my shoulders also what into flex for some reason.

2246
07:56:06.240 --> 07:56:13.639
I think that's probably part of my upper back, that

2247
07:56:13.799 --> 07:56:18.759
connection between my shoulders and my upper back, because I

2248
07:56:18.799 --> 07:56:23.799
can move my shoulders and stretch the muscles in my back,

2249
07:56:26.319 --> 07:56:32.840
moving the shoulders backwards or up, which then moves. I

2250
07:56:32.919 --> 07:56:49.040
think it's the scapulous in your back. It feels quite nice. Actually,

2251
07:56:54.360 --> 07:56:57.520
a good thing about this is you can, if you

2252
07:56:57.680 --> 07:57:11.599
want to, you can just flex or stimulate the various

2253
07:57:11.840 --> 07:57:19.319
muscles in your body gently in order to get more

2254
07:57:19.360 --> 07:57:28.959
of a sense of how they feel. And when you're

2255
07:57:29.040 --> 07:57:38.400
relaxing and you do tense and muscle and you let

2256
07:57:38.479 --> 07:57:45.400
it go and you let it relax, it relaxes way

2257
07:57:45.799 --> 07:57:55.520
more than it would normally. That you have to feel

2258
07:57:57.639 --> 07:58:01.520
that you're able to do that. There's no point doing

2259
07:58:01.599 --> 07:58:07.119
it if there's an issue with the per part of

2260
07:58:07.200 --> 07:58:16.439
your body. You need to be gentle with yourself at

2261
07:58:16.680 --> 07:58:30.479
all times when relaxing deeply. It's important to be kind

2262
07:58:31.240 --> 07:58:47.240
to yourself. As you notice your mind. How much has

2263
07:58:47.319 --> 07:59:10.919
your mind slowed down since we started this recording? How

2264
07:59:11.159 --> 07:59:26.400
came and peaceful is your mind right now? We have

2265
07:59:26.599 --> 07:59:32.520
nothing to think about and just my voice to listen to.

2266
07:59:36.639 --> 07:59:45.200
Because you know, the intention behind this recording is relaxation.

2267
07:59:47.959 --> 07:59:53.119
At the very least, for you to feel more relaxed

2268
07:59:54.439 --> 07:59:57.959
at the end of recording than you did at the beginning.

2269
08:00:03.119 --> 08:00:14.919
At the very least, your mind to slow down because

2270
08:00:15.000 --> 08:00:29.319
your body continues to relax, because that's what you want

2271
08:00:31.040 --> 08:00:50.080
to happen. That's what you expect to happen, for relaxation

2272
08:00:53.400 --> 08:01:08.880
to fill your body, maybe calm in your mind to

2273
08:01:09.040 --> 08:01:28.400
the point of boredom. When you start maybe to drift away,

2274
08:01:56.919 --> 08:02:04.759
it's almost as if you are moving further away from

2275
08:02:06.520 --> 08:02:20.319
a body in your mind, just leaving that there, kind

2276
08:02:20.360 --> 08:02:25.400
of liking it an escape pod and a spaceship a movie,

2277
08:02:26.200 --> 08:02:28.479
a space movie, you know when they get into a

2278
08:02:28.560 --> 08:02:35.279
little pard in it, since the man far away from

2279
08:02:35.360 --> 08:03:24.319
the spaceship, safe to dream and continue to relax, drifting

2280
08:03:43.000 --> 08:04:50.720
so slow and be so, oh, don't be so, and

2281
08:04:51.000 --> 08:05:05.400
focusing on the feeving of those individual parts of your

2282
08:05:05.560 --> 08:05:23.919
body that are relaxing one by one. You may find

2283
08:05:24.479 --> 08:05:37.560
that every now and then you realize that you are

2284
08:05:38.080 --> 08:05:46.919
listening to my voice because your mind started to imagine

2285
08:05:49.279 --> 08:06:01.560
something different, maybe started to almost move, move into some

2286
08:06:01.880 --> 08:06:10.279
kind of a dreamy state, and then you become aware

2287
08:06:10.479 --> 08:06:19.720
of my voice again. And even though you may want

2288
08:06:19.959 --> 08:06:24.840
to focus on my voice, you may also wish to

2289
08:06:27.400 --> 08:06:38.959
allow your mind to just drift naturally into that space

2290
08:06:39.279 --> 08:07:03.240
of comfort and safety. As you feel more comfort spreading

2291
08:07:03.639 --> 08:07:16.360
through your body like a warm blanket covering you gently,

2292
08:07:20.400 --> 08:07:38.520
keeping your body at just the perfect temperature. And even

2293
08:07:38.639 --> 08:07:50.680
if you can hear background sounds, they just don't seem

2294
08:07:50.799 --> 08:08:07.799
to matter anymore. As that's sensor. Peace spreads through your

2295
08:08:07.919 --> 08:08:21.759
mind like a gentle breeze, yes, strong enough to blow

2296
08:08:21.840 --> 08:08:38.200
away all negativity, strong enough to remove from your mind

2297
08:08:41.479 --> 08:08:56.240
any anxiety or stress that was there before, and blow

2298
08:08:56.360 --> 08:09:07.279
away any other thoughts for feelings that just don't fit

2299
08:09:11.360 --> 08:09:36.279
with the sense relaxation that is feeling your body and

2300
08:09:36.599 --> 08:09:56.639
your mind. Unless you focus on your mind and count

2301
08:09:56.759 --> 08:10:02.840
down from ten down to one, and with each number

2302
08:10:03.360 --> 08:10:30.319
you hear, your mind will become slightly more relaxed, just

2303
08:10:30.720 --> 08:10:39.520
just slightly, from ten down to nine, just a slight

2304
08:10:40.040 --> 08:10:53.319
movement from nine down to eight, just another small change

2305
08:10:54.759 --> 08:11:06.319
in how you feel. Eight down to seven. That feeling

2306
08:11:06.479 --> 08:11:12.200
is a gap, almost like a gap that starts to

2307
08:11:12.319 --> 08:11:21.680
get wider, the gap between those feelings that you used

2308
08:11:21.759 --> 08:11:28.959
to have in your mind compared to the feelings you

2309
08:11:29.159 --> 08:11:40.400
have there growing now, feelings of comfort and security and confidence,

2310
08:11:43.040 --> 08:11:49.159
and the gap becomes wider. Eight down to seven, seven

2311
08:11:49.319 --> 08:11:58.240
down to six. When you get to five, the mind

2312
08:11:58.319 --> 08:12:11.720
will start to have a certain physical sensation, most like

2313
08:12:11.840 --> 08:12:18.639
there's a magnet outside of your head sucking the tension

2314
08:12:18.880 --> 08:12:24.599
and stress and any remaining feelings that you don't want,

2315
08:12:26.639 --> 08:12:35.680
sucking them out through your skull. And in down to

2316
08:12:35.959 --> 08:12:43.360
four you can start to really experience that sense of

2317
08:12:44.919 --> 08:12:55.439
not just emptiness, but space, a place full of fresh air,

2318
08:13:00.439 --> 08:13:07.240
place where you can stretch. It's almost as if as

2319
08:13:07.319 --> 08:13:11.360
you go down to four and three your mind is

2320
08:13:11.560 --> 08:13:26.080
expanding with this sense of peace and tranquility growing as

2321
08:13:26.119 --> 08:13:33.599
it moves down to When you get to one, your

2322
08:13:33.759 --> 08:13:45.520
mind just feels exactly how you want to feel. It's

2323
08:13:45.560 --> 08:14:01.200
almost perfect feeling, maybe the sensation that.

2324
08:14:02.799 --> 08:14:04.240
You'd like to keep.

2325
08:14:07.240 --> 08:14:18.080
A place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,

2326
08:14:29.759 --> 08:14:34.520
and you can stay in that that space of comfort

2327
08:14:34.599 --> 08:14:44.279
and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this

2328
08:14:45.240 --> 08:14:51.240
space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind

2329
08:14:52.799 --> 08:15:02.720
just by counting ten down to one. And this is

2330
08:15:02.840 --> 08:15:07.520
something that you can do yourself when you're on your own,

2331
08:15:12.400 --> 08:15:16.319
the time when you can maybe sit down, maybe just

2332
08:15:16.439 --> 08:15:28.479
for a few minutes, close your eyes, just count slowly

2333
08:15:29.159 --> 08:15:42.319
from ten down to one and re experience these feelings

2334
08:15:43.919 --> 08:15:52.279
in your mind. And when you feel that way in

2335
08:15:52.400 --> 08:16:07.959
your mind, your body copies your mind, and that feeling

2336
08:16:08.200 --> 08:16:14.959
is spread through your spine and your nervous system into

2337
08:16:15.360 --> 08:16:22.040
every part of your body, travels through your blood stream,

2338
08:16:27.599 --> 08:16:48.080
heathing and relaxing every particle of your existence. And we

2339
08:16:48.240 --> 08:16:57.000
can we can practice this a few times before the

2340
08:16:57.200 --> 08:17:01.680
end of the recording, and then you can practice on

2341
08:17:01.799 --> 08:17:09.360
your own. And each time you count for ten about one,

2342
08:17:14.000 --> 08:17:26.200
the feelings of comfort, calmness, deep deep relaxation becomes stronger

2343
08:17:27.599 --> 08:17:41.840
and deeper feeling your mind and your brain with these

2344
08:17:43.040 --> 08:17:53.840
positive chemicals, the spread throughout your body, relaxing you so quickly,

2345
08:17:55.919 --> 08:18:05.799
relaxing your whole body and mind so very very easily

2346
08:18:08.400 --> 08:18:10.159
just by counting.

2347
08:18:11.200 --> 08:18:12.080
From ten.

2348
08:18:14.720 --> 08:18:15.520
Down to one.

2349
08:18:20.639 --> 08:18:21.919
So we're gonna do now.

2350
08:18:22.759 --> 08:18:26.720
I'm going to count from ten down to one. I'd

2351
08:18:26.919 --> 08:18:29.680
like you to repeat the number after me.

2352
08:18:30.919 --> 08:18:35.479
So when I say ten, you can.

2353
08:18:35.520 --> 08:18:49.000
Just repeat to yourself ten. Just notice, be aware of

2354
08:18:49.279 --> 08:19:00.880
how you feel in your mind and your body. Then

2355
08:19:00.919 --> 08:19:10.360
when I say nine, you can beat to yourself nine

2356
08:19:14.360 --> 08:19:25.279
a game, noticing the increase in comfort and calmness in

2357
08:19:25.400 --> 08:19:35.599
your mind and in your body, the same when I

2358
08:19:35.680 --> 08:19:51.000
say eight, when I say seven, six, when I say five, four,

2359
08:19:54.959 --> 08:20:06.319
when I say three, two, And lastly you want to

2360
08:20:06.360 --> 08:20:19.759
say one, you can bet that number. Now. Of course,

2361
08:20:19.959 --> 08:20:25.599
when you do this on your own without listening to me,

2362
08:20:26.840 --> 08:20:33.159
you can say the numbers or whatever speed that you

2363
08:20:33.479 --> 08:20:43.240
feel is necessary for you, so you can adapt. So

2364
08:20:43.319 --> 08:20:47.240
if you feel you want to say the numbers ten

2365
08:20:47.560 --> 08:20:53.919
down to one faster than I do, then you go

2366
08:20:54.040 --> 08:20:57.720
ahead and do that. Or if you feel when you

2367
08:20:57.880 --> 08:21:03.520
do it yourself, do you like to have more more

2368
08:21:03.759 --> 08:21:11.159
space between the numbers, maybe take a lot longer to

2369
08:21:11.319 --> 08:21:21.400
get from ten all the way down to one, that's

2370
08:21:21.520 --> 08:21:35.119
your choice also to do. So I'm gonna count from ten.

2371
08:21:35.119 --> 08:21:42.840
Down to one, and when I get to one.

2372
08:21:44.040 --> 08:21:49.959
That will be the end of this recording, unless, of course,

2373
08:21:50.040 --> 08:22:02.000
you're listening with music, and the music will continue. Two

2374
08:22:14.560 --> 08:23:08.799
nine eight fo.

2375
08:25:00.279 --> 08:25:23.319
Assassa Assassi.

2376
08:26:33.720 --> 08:27:54.799
Twenty ninety eighteen seventeen sixteen fifty fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

2377
08:27:59.119 --> 08:28:27.360
three two one. Now open your eyes, noticing how you

2378
08:28:27.479 --> 08:28:35.880
physically feel having counted down from twenty to one, allowing

2379
08:28:36.680 --> 08:28:41.119
stress and tension to leave through your fingertips and your tails.

2380
08:28:42.639 --> 08:28:47.360
And as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel

2381
08:28:47.360 --> 08:28:53.520
a little bit tingly, which is I suppose quite an

2382
08:28:53.560 --> 08:28:58.520
understanding considering the tension has been exiting your body through

2383
08:28:58.560 --> 08:29:07.479
your fingertips. So now I'm going to count from twenty

2384
08:29:07.599 --> 08:29:14.479
down to one again. This time you get to feel

2385
08:29:14.639 --> 08:29:20.639
relief of tension and stress and the anxiety that you

2386
08:29:20.759 --> 08:29:33.680
may have leaving through your stomach. Just leaving through your stomach,

2387
08:29:33.759 --> 08:29:39.400
almost as if it's just releasing the whole of your

2388
08:29:39.439 --> 08:29:45.599
stomach enavl to just above your chest or below your chest,

2389
08:29:45.720 --> 08:29:50.279
rather so surrounding your belly button area, the whole area.

2390
08:29:52.360 --> 08:29:56.959
You can feel the tension of your body whatever's left

2391
08:29:57.240 --> 08:30:02.560
just releasing on the area, and you may notice that

2392
08:30:02.680 --> 08:30:08.919
your stomach will become very relaxed as I countdown from

2393
08:30:09.040 --> 08:31:20.880
twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven,

2394
08:31:24.200 --> 08:31:53.200
six five four three two what And you can open

2395
08:31:53.240 --> 08:31:55.959
your eyes again if you choose, but you just keep

2396
08:31:56.000 --> 08:32:02.159
them closed because it feels relaxing. Just notice how your

2397
08:32:02.240 --> 08:32:07.799
stomach feels. Notice there's your focus. Just do a little

2398
08:32:07.919 --> 08:32:12.959
scan of your body. Just notice how your body feels.

2399
08:32:14.400 --> 08:32:24.919
Focus in upper body, back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,

2400
08:32:27.959 --> 08:32:29.119
Just noticing.

2401
08:32:32.919 --> 08:32:37.639
And you know, you may start to feel more a

2402
08:32:37.799 --> 08:32:38.279
sense of.

2403
08:32:38.479 --> 08:32:43.000
Tiredness, which may be the reason you listening to this

2404
08:32:44.439 --> 08:32:50.840
according because you would like to let go completely of

2405
08:32:51.000 --> 08:33:03.759
everything and dread moll into a nice, natural, calm, relaxing sleep.

2406
08:33:11.319 --> 08:33:20.720
So now we're going to focus on your forehead, and

2407
08:33:20.799 --> 08:33:23.639
if you choose, you can incorporate your eyes in this

2408
08:33:23.959 --> 08:33:30.599
focus as well. Your forehead and your eyes, it's that

2409
08:33:30.759 --> 08:33:35.639
whole area basically, almost as if you were wearing a mask,

2410
08:33:35.840 --> 08:33:39.919
you know, like a I don't know, a Batman mask

2411
08:33:40.119 --> 08:33:41.560
or something, or.

2412
08:33:43.639 --> 08:33:44.240
I'm trying to.

2413
08:33:45.080 --> 08:33:47.119
Zorro or something, you know, the kind of mask that

2414
08:33:47.240 --> 08:33:50.080
covers your eyes but also covers quite a lot of

2415
08:33:50.119 --> 08:33:56.919
the forehead. We're focusing on that area because that's the

2416
08:33:57.040 --> 08:34:01.400
area that we're now going to release tension, stress from

2417
08:34:01.479 --> 08:34:06.840
your mind and your brain from your mind and any

2418
08:34:07.279 --> 08:34:11.159
tension that you may have remain in your face, in

2419
08:34:11.279 --> 08:34:17.279
your neck and your jawl, your eyes, your forehead, or

2420
08:34:17.360 --> 08:34:23.560
your scalp. So basically any tension within your head area,

2421
08:34:24.279 --> 08:34:31.439
including your mind and your brain that's going to be

2422
08:34:31.599 --> 08:34:40.000
released through your forehead and your eyes. As I count

2423
08:34:40.080 --> 08:35:46.439
down again from twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine,

2424
08:35:51.360 --> 08:36:37.599
eight seven six why war three two? What noticing and

2425
08:36:37.880 --> 08:36:45.159
you scan your face with jaw, your eyes, the cheap bones,

2426
08:36:45.400 --> 08:36:51.400
your ears, your forehead, your scalp.

2427
08:36:52.560 --> 08:36:56.200
Your neck, the back of your neck, in the front

2428
08:36:56.279 --> 08:36:57.000
of your neck.

2429
08:36:57.759 --> 08:37:00.200
The side of your neck, and the throat.

2430
08:37:01.639 --> 08:37:03.200
Hm hm.

2431
08:37:06.360 --> 08:37:17.479
Noticing being aware of the comfort increased be in that relaxation,

2432
08:37:19.599 --> 08:37:24.479
not just in your head and neck and mind, also

2433
08:37:25.000 --> 08:37:34.439
the rest of your body. Just notice how loose and

2434
08:37:34.799 --> 08:37:38.520
calm you feel, and how easily.

2435
08:37:40.200 --> 08:37:41.720
It is to just let go.

2436
08:37:44.520 --> 08:38:09.560
Completely, let go completely, how lead So what I'm gonna do, Valance,

2437
08:38:10.799 --> 08:38:13.080
I want to focus on the top of your head

2438
08:38:18.479 --> 08:38:25.159
and am We're going to allow every last piece of

2439
08:38:25.400 --> 08:38:31.680
tension or stress that mind be lingering or hiding in

2440
08:38:31.799 --> 08:38:34.880
your body or mind my.

2441
08:38:35.080 --> 08:38:41.759
Head to just be sucked out at the top of

2442
08:38:41.840 --> 08:38:42.520
your head.

2443
08:38:44.919 --> 08:38:49.439
Released too.

2444
08:38:49.560 --> 08:38:53.200
Yeah, I'm gonna sucked out into the clouds.

2445
08:38:55.759 --> 08:39:00.680
Imagine to be cloud of God, your head almost like

2446
08:39:00.799 --> 08:39:05.279
a whirlpool, and this is can suck that tension.

2447
08:39:06.479 --> 08:39:08.080
Out on the top of your head.

2448
08:39:10.279 --> 08:39:11.759
And just take it away.

2449
08:39:13.560 --> 08:39:20.520
Good your focus. Imagine an opening on the top of

2450
08:39:20.639 --> 08:39:26.639
your head with a tension and stress and in remaining

2451
08:39:26.880 --> 08:39:29.919
issues maybe worries of concerns that.

2452
08:39:30.119 --> 08:39:33.799
Have no use to you. Now you can all be

2453
08:39:34.119 --> 08:39:35.919
sucked down at the top of your head.

2454
08:39:37.639 --> 08:39:43.599
I've taken away. As I count down again from twenty

2455
08:39:44.000 --> 08:41:10.959
down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight.

2456
08:41:16.919 --> 08:41:47.560
Seven, six, five, four, three, one.

2457
08:41:57.680 --> 08:42:15.799
Three, noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm you

2458
08:42:16.000 --> 08:42:31.439
physically and mentally feel right now, how peaceful your mind feels.

2459
08:42:34.119 --> 08:42:39.279
It feels so nice to just let go, to give

2460
08:42:39.319 --> 08:42:53.119
yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly, and

2461
08:42:53.319 --> 08:42:58.439
just to take a break from all that pointless worry

2462
08:42:58.680 --> 08:43:03.919
and concerns about things that you don't need to think

2463
08:43:03.959 --> 08:43:14.840
about right now, because this is your time to let go.

2464
08:43:16.200 --> 08:43:25.959
This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful

2465
08:43:26.119 --> 08:43:33.360
in your mind, relaxed in your body. They can feel

2466
08:43:33.959 --> 08:43:43.759
so good, so nice to just not have to do anything,

2467
08:43:46.080 --> 08:43:55.000
to be able to really enjoy that serenity that comes

2468
08:43:56.799 --> 08:44:02.639
letting go completely, that peacefulness that comes with.

2469
08:44:09.360 --> 08:44:10.720
Being in this.

2470
08:44:12.560 --> 08:44:22.599
Peaceful space. And you can keep this sense of calmness

2471
08:44:23.439 --> 08:44:34.599
for as long as you choose. If you choose to

2472
08:44:34.840 --> 08:44:42.040
drift off into a deep, healing, natural sleep, then you

2473
08:44:42.159 --> 08:44:53.639
can do that. It's completely up to you, and you

2474
08:44:53.759 --> 08:44:58.759
can keep this feeling of calmness physically, mean in your mind,

2475
08:45:00.080 --> 08:45:14.880
as long as you choose to feel completely relaxed, completely relaxed.

2476
08:45:18.119 --> 08:45:21.840
And I'd like you to make up your mind.

2477
08:45:23.720 --> 08:45:34.599
That you're going to relax, and I want to explore

2478
08:45:34.759 --> 08:45:37.880
that with you. What it feels like when you actually

2479
08:45:39.520 --> 08:45:46.759
decide that you're going to relax, not forcing yourself, but

2480
08:45:46.959 --> 08:45:53.240
giving yourself that. Yes, it is a command, really, isn't it.

2481
08:45:53.360 --> 08:46:00.680
When you're telling yourself relax in a gentle but firm

2482
08:46:00.799 --> 08:46:08.080
way that only you can really tell yourself in that way.

2483
08:46:08.959 --> 08:46:10.919
You can't really have someone else saying to you, now

2484
08:46:10.959 --> 08:46:17.400
it relax, relax, you know, and it needs to be gentle.

2485
08:46:17.599 --> 08:46:21.119
But you can't someone else can't really have the same

2486
08:46:24.560 --> 08:46:30.639
the same kind of influence or power that you have

2487
08:46:31.840 --> 08:46:43.680
over your own physicality, over how you feel, because when

2488
08:46:43.880 --> 08:46:50.520
you say it to yourself, it means more. It's personal,

2489
08:46:50.840 --> 08:46:56.479
and your brain and your unconscious mind and your body

2490
08:46:57.240 --> 08:47:03.439
listens to what you say. So for example, we'll test

2491
08:47:03.520 --> 08:47:06.119
it out. We'll do a little test. I do little

2492
08:47:06.200 --> 08:47:09.919
tests along the way, and you can get more of

2493
08:47:10.000 --> 08:47:16.520
an idea of the force, a positive force that you

2494
08:47:16.680 --> 08:47:24.200
can have in creating a sense of comfort and relaxation

2495
08:47:24.479 --> 08:47:30.439
in your body and your mind quite quickly just by

2496
08:47:30.639 --> 08:47:41.000
you telling yourself to relax. So I'm going to start

2497
08:47:41.119 --> 08:47:47.799
by it's focus on your hands. To focus on your

2498
08:47:47.799 --> 08:47:51.520
hands and just tell your hands to relax, and just

2499
08:47:51.639 --> 08:47:58.799
say relax. As you focus on your hands, you could

2500
08:47:59.040 --> 08:48:03.479
say my hands are relaxed, or I want my hands

2501
08:48:03.560 --> 08:48:07.439
to relax. But I think if you actually do it

2502
08:48:07.599 --> 08:48:15.840
directly by focusing and imagining that your hands can hear

2503
08:48:16.000 --> 08:48:17.200
what you're saying, you know.

2504
08:48:17.279 --> 08:48:19.959
Like they've got little ears, which is a little weird.

2505
08:48:22.560 --> 08:48:33.439
So talking to your hands and just say relax, nodin.

2506
08:48:39.560 --> 08:48:41.279
Now your hands start to relax.

2507
08:48:53.680 --> 08:48:57.159
Now, focus on your eyes and tell your eyes to relax.

2508
08:48:58.279 --> 08:49:03.119
You're just saying the same word, relax, and find the

2509
08:49:03.319 --> 08:49:10.720
right tone for you. You know, I might say relax,

2510
08:49:11.400 --> 08:49:19.520
but you you might say relax or relax. You know,

2511
08:49:19.840 --> 08:49:25.479
you might say it differently to yourself, and that's important

2512
08:49:26.360 --> 08:49:32.439
for you to gauge what feels right for you. To

2513
08:49:32.680 --> 08:49:37.840
just tell your eyes to relax whilst focusing on your eyes,

2514
08:49:38.360 --> 08:49:43.080
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and

2515
08:49:43.319 --> 08:50:18.799
just tell your eyes directly relax now. Now, I just

2516
08:50:18.919 --> 08:50:29.200
did that myself, and sometimes you may feel that you

2517
08:50:29.400 --> 08:50:34.799
need a bit more time or the different parts to relax,

2518
08:50:35.680 --> 08:50:39.520
you know, because I start talking again and maybe that

2519
08:50:39.759 --> 08:50:43.360
part hasn't relaxed fully. But what will happen is that

2520
08:50:43.360 --> 08:50:45.319
it will just continue to relax.

2521
08:50:45.040 --> 08:50:46.040
Even though I'm talking.

2522
08:50:47.639 --> 08:50:53.400
And that's happened with my eyes. Something else I noticed

2523
08:50:53.520 --> 08:50:58.159
is when I started focusing on my eyes, that actually

2524
08:50:58.959 --> 08:51:01.799
almost became They got worse before they got better in

2525
08:51:01.880 --> 08:51:05.680
a way. So I felt a degree of tension growing

2526
08:51:05.759 --> 08:51:11.479
in my eyes and then disappearing. So I think what

2527
08:51:11.639 --> 08:51:16.200
that was really was just me becoming more aware of

2528
08:51:16.520 --> 08:51:21.759
the tension that was already there that I wasn't. I

2529
08:51:21.919 --> 08:51:27.119
wasn't focused on it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging

2530
08:51:27.200 --> 08:51:44.200
it or really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes

2531
08:51:44.279 --> 08:51:48.080
is still continuing to relax, as well as my hands. Actually,

2532
08:51:51.560 --> 08:51:56.959
my hands have got a certain kind of energy, like

2533
08:51:57.200 --> 08:52:01.959
not buzzing, but I can kind of the funeral a

2534
08:52:02.080 --> 08:52:07.799
degree of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where the

2535
08:52:07.919 --> 08:52:20.439
tension is being released. Maybe that's causing that. The next part,

2536
08:52:20.520 --> 08:52:22.000
I think we should focus.

2537
08:52:21.759 --> 08:52:22.680
On the back of the neck.

2538
08:52:23.400 --> 08:52:27.319
That's a part which is quite often well for me,

2539
08:52:27.799 --> 08:52:30.840
holds tension. I don't know about it for yourself, but

2540
08:52:31.000 --> 08:52:35.240
I think it's quite a standard place where tension is

2541
08:52:35.360 --> 08:52:42.200
sometimes held. So, and I'm doing exactly what you're doing

2542
08:52:42.639 --> 08:52:44.759
as you do it as well, so I'm telling my

2543
08:52:45.720 --> 08:52:47.759
body parts to relax as well.

2544
08:52:48.560 --> 08:52:50.680
So if you tell your neck at the back of your.

2545
08:52:50.639 --> 08:52:53.279
Neck, focus on the back of your neck and just

2546
08:52:53.400 --> 08:53:01.240
say relax in your own words and tone in your

2547
08:53:01.279 --> 08:53:01.840
own voice.

2548
08:53:02.520 --> 08:53:03.400
You can say out.

2549
08:53:03.319 --> 08:53:06.959
Loud, or you can just say it to yourself internally,

2550
08:53:07.880 --> 08:53:11.479
but you're focusing it, and you're saying it literally to

2551
08:53:12.319 --> 08:53:12.799
the back of.

2552
08:53:12.840 --> 08:53:15.720
Your neck, as if the back of your neck can

2553
08:53:15.799 --> 08:53:22.479
actually hear what you're saying, So do that now, just

2554
08:53:22.599 --> 08:53:25.520
say it lacks to the back of your neck.

2555
08:53:26.680 --> 08:53:27.560
And I did the same.

2556
08:54:06.400 --> 08:54:10.159
And what I noticed and you made that similar thing

2557
08:54:11.599 --> 08:54:14.560
is even though I was focusing on the back of

2558
08:54:14.639 --> 08:54:26.040
my neck, other parts started to I don't know, showed

2559
08:54:26.080 --> 08:54:29.240
themselves to me or maybe because they want to be

2560
08:54:29.319 --> 08:54:31.959
relaxed as well. But I started.

2561
08:54:31.840 --> 08:54:36.400
Noticing the feelings in my shoulders, attension in my shoulders.

2562
08:54:36.240 --> 08:54:37.200
And in my upper back.

2563
08:54:40.279 --> 08:54:46.279
Whether that was because my back of my neck was saying, well,

2564
08:54:46.319 --> 08:54:51.279
I'm pretty much okay, it's the other parts that need attention,

2565
08:54:57.680 --> 08:55:00.720
but my lobe, my back of my neck is relaxing.

2566
08:55:02.159 --> 08:55:04.639
But I just became more aware of other parts that

2567
08:55:04.919 --> 08:55:13.520
needed attention. Now, this might happen and it's not. It

2568
08:55:13.639 --> 08:55:15.319
doesn't mean that it's going wrong.

2569
08:55:15.439 --> 08:55:17.279
It just means you're.

2570
08:55:17.159 --> 08:55:23.799
Being notified of more places that also want to feel relaxed.

2571
08:55:27.080 --> 08:55:30.080
So I'm going to focus on my upper back.

2572
08:55:31.400 --> 08:55:35.119
So you can do the same. Even if you don't

2573
08:55:35.240 --> 08:55:35.840
have any.

2574
08:55:37.279 --> 08:55:40.759
Feelings of tension that are obvious in your upper back,

2575
08:55:42.720 --> 08:55:47.599
you just focus on your back and the whole area

2576
08:55:47.759 --> 08:55:52.240
from the shoulder blades down to the middle of your

2577
08:55:52.319 --> 08:55:56.639
back and the spine, and with me, it's more.

2578
08:55:56.520 --> 08:55:57.520
The shoulder blades.

2579
08:56:03.000 --> 08:56:08.439
Yeah, that's the parts that really sort of giving me.

2580
08:56:10.159 --> 08:56:10.880
That want.

2581
08:56:12.400 --> 08:56:14.840
That it needs relax in sounds, go to ask that

2582
08:56:15.040 --> 08:56:17.840
part to relax, and you can do the.

2583
08:56:17.880 --> 08:56:18.479
Same now.

2584
08:56:29.520 --> 08:56:44.919
Relapsing up the bank. There's something strange happened there.

2585
08:56:45.439 --> 08:56:49.040
And this often happens, and been doing this for.

2586
08:56:51.560 --> 08:56:57.759
Over sixteen years or something, and often I'm one surprised,

2587
08:56:59.360 --> 08:57:05.799
amazed really that there can be a feeling. So when

2588
08:57:05.840 --> 08:57:09.119
I was focusing on the back of my neck, my

2589
08:57:09.240 --> 08:57:14.000
other back was starting to feel quite stressed and in

2590
08:57:14.240 --> 08:57:19.759
need of attention. As soon as I started talking to

2591
08:57:19.880 --> 08:57:25.680
you about my upper back and talking about getting ready

2592
08:57:25.759 --> 08:57:30.479
to ask the other back to relax, why the back

2593
08:57:30.560 --> 08:57:36.400
already started to relax. It's almost as if it doesn't

2594
08:57:36.560 --> 08:57:46.799
need to hear the words, just needs attention, just needs

2595
08:57:46.880 --> 08:57:59.400
to be noticed. That is something that often happens in

2596
08:58:00.319 --> 08:58:07.200
this type of situation is when you start to relax

2597
08:58:08.759 --> 08:58:09.279
a couple of.

2598
08:58:09.319 --> 08:58:12.240
Parts of your body, as we've done with.

2599
08:58:12.360 --> 08:58:18.599
Our hands, eyes and the eyelids, and now.

2600
08:58:19.720 --> 08:58:27.599
Back of the neck, top of the bag, up the back.

2601
08:58:28.720 --> 08:58:32.720
The rest of the body seems to just take notice

2602
08:58:35.439 --> 08:58:43.720
and decide in its own way to start relaxing. Other

2603
08:58:43.880 --> 08:58:53.720
parts of your body start to just become looser. I

2604
08:58:53.799 --> 08:58:56.479
suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche,

2605
08:58:56.680 --> 08:59:01.319
you know, the little ball starts rolling in and before

2606
08:59:01.360 --> 08:59:03.799
you know it, the whole of your body is completely

2607
08:59:03.959 --> 08:59:15.880
relaxed and can't And if you focus on your face,

2608
08:59:21.200 --> 08:59:27.959
you focus on your eyes, the eyelids, your eyebrowns, and

2609
08:59:28.919 --> 08:59:37.520
the muscles around your eyes. Maybe you start to notice

2610
08:59:37.639 --> 08:59:44.319
that your forehead is more relaxed than it was. Maybe

2611
08:59:44.400 --> 08:59:50.000
your face is more relaxed. I would say my entire

2612
08:59:50.119 --> 09:00:04.919
face is a lot more relaxed than it was. So

2613
09:00:05.040 --> 09:00:11.000
you're going to focus now on your shoulders again, just

2614
09:00:11.159 --> 09:00:14.240
like before. Just tell your shoulders.

2615
09:00:14.959 --> 09:00:17.000
I mean you can't do them in the digital.

2616
09:00:17.200 --> 09:00:19.319
You can do the right shoulder and your shoulder.

2617
09:00:20.880 --> 09:00:23.040
I just can't do both at the same time.

2618
09:00:25.080 --> 09:00:28.319
Just tell your shoulders and you focus on them in

2619
09:00:28.400 --> 09:00:34.560
your mind, focus on how you feel. Maybe you can

2620
09:00:34.919 --> 09:00:42.200
see them in your mind's eye. Just tell your shoulders.

2621
09:00:45.400 --> 09:01:25.159
To relax as nice as they relax.

2622
09:01:35.560 --> 09:01:43.919
But did you notice, especially with my back, is the

2623
09:01:44.080 --> 09:01:49.959
connection between the different parts the back, the shoulders, the.

2624
09:01:50.119 --> 09:02:00.279
Neck being away connected and being such a large heart

2625
09:02:00.319 --> 09:02:04.799
of your body, it's almost.

2626
09:02:04.599 --> 09:02:12.880
Hard to separate them from each other. And my luwer

2627
09:02:12.959 --> 09:02:15.240
back is starting to relax on the same.

2628
09:02:21.200 --> 09:02:22.119
Maybe you're going.

2629
09:02:22.040 --> 09:02:28.040
Too slow, and that could be an issue because we

2630
09:02:28.200 --> 09:02:34.200
all go at different speeds. And the idea at the

2631
09:02:34.279 --> 09:02:37.119
beginning of this recording was for you to be able

2632
09:02:37.200 --> 09:02:52.959
to just say to yourself, relax, without focusing on any

2633
09:02:53.200 --> 09:02:58.560
particular part of your body. Because when you know that,

2634
09:02:59.520 --> 09:03:11.680
teven your hands to relax, and your hands relax. You

2635
09:03:11.840 --> 09:03:18.599
tell your eyelids and your eyes, the muscles around your

2636
09:03:18.799 --> 09:03:27.880
eyes and your eyebrows to relax, and they relax.

2637
09:03:33.680 --> 09:03:36.279
You tell the back of your neck.

2638
09:03:39.400 --> 09:03:46.200
To relax, and it relaxes.

2639
09:03:54.200 --> 09:04:03.279
You tell your alpha banckter rags.

2640
09:04:12.599 --> 09:04:13.919
And diver axes.

2641
09:04:21.599 --> 09:04:25.599
I tell you you shoulders rags.

2642
09:04:36.360 --> 09:05:04.599
They When you told your hands to relax, they relaxed.

2643
09:05:04.560 --> 09:05:06.319
And they continued.

2644
09:05:07.479 --> 09:05:08.080
To relax.

2645
09:05:13.919 --> 09:05:19.560
When you told your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

2646
09:05:20.599 --> 09:05:26.040
your eyebrows to relax, they relaxed.

2647
09:05:29.040 --> 09:05:32.439
And continued to relax.

2648
09:05:38.840 --> 09:05:42.360
When you told at the back of your neck us

2649
09:05:42.439 --> 09:05:43.599
on the back of your neck.

2650
09:05:47.080 --> 09:05:59.000
And told it to relax, they relaxed and continued to relax.

2651
09:06:07.200 --> 09:06:16.239
And you told your auca back to relax, be relaxed.

2652
09:06:16.879 --> 09:06:18.279
He continued.

2653
09:06:20.199 --> 09:06:20.879
To relax.

2654
09:06:29.199 --> 09:06:34.760
That's with your shoulders. You told your shoulders to relax.

2655
09:06:35.080 --> 09:06:35.639
In your.

2656
09:06:38.319 --> 09:06:40.000
Shoulders relaxed and.

2657
09:06:40.440 --> 09:06:47.400
Continued to relax.

2658
09:06:53.080 --> 09:06:58.000
And it's not just that, it's.

2659
09:07:00.720 --> 09:07:05.120
But the rest of your body is also in listening,

2660
09:07:06.839 --> 09:07:12.959
and their relaxation has been spreading. So from your eyes,

2661
09:07:13.279 --> 09:07:20.440
the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face.

2662
09:07:20.400 --> 09:07:33.440
Into your skin, into your jaw, into.

2663
09:07:33.319 --> 09:07:37.360
The front and sides of the neck, all the way

2664
09:07:37.440 --> 09:07:48.559
down your chest and stomach, your relaxed hands and shoulders,

2665
09:07:50.400 --> 09:07:51.040
and meats.

2666
09:07:50.879 --> 09:08:02.120
Up through your arms, relaxing the forearms, your upper arm, elbows, wrists.

2667
09:08:05.760 --> 09:08:15.000
Let you know, did no obay.

2668
09:08:18.000 --> 09:08:20.760
The Hicks attics bline.

2669
09:08:22.400 --> 09:08:31.800
You just start to relax and continue comfort spreading through

2670
09:08:31.879 --> 09:08:46.199
your legs four way down to your ankles, the tops

2671
09:08:46.279 --> 09:08:51.720
of your feet, the side of your feet, and the

2672
09:08:51.839 --> 09:08:58.319
bottoms of your feet, relaxing.

2673
09:09:01.319 --> 09:09:02.400
Into your toes.

2674
09:09:06.199 --> 09:09:12.360
Each tone relaxing, go.

2675
09:09:15.959 --> 09:09:46.879
Loose, and if your body relaxes warmth, your mind becomes slow, peaceful.

2676
09:09:54.040 --> 09:09:59.559
To the point where if ch.

2677
09:10:01.040 --> 09:10:02.239
To fall safe.

2678
09:10:07.279 --> 09:10:25.559
Easily do that easy dr doing because there's nothing going

2679
09:10:25.680 --> 09:10:26.559
on in doing.

2680
09:10:30.160 --> 09:10:32.080
To phrase, it's peaceful.

2681
09:10:40.440 --> 09:11:14.800
You want your teams' right with that connection between your body,

2682
09:11:15.080 --> 09:11:17.120
Relaxing the word.

2683
09:11:18.480 --> 09:11:20.639
You say to yourself.

2684
09:11:22.519 --> 09:11:33.599
Relates means that you don't need to focus on just

2685
09:11:33.919 --> 09:11:41.480
one part. You can just focus on your entire body.

2686
09:11:48.000 --> 09:12:14.000
Saying powerful word wakes and deserve those familiar sensations of

2687
09:12:14.440 --> 09:12:28.199
comforts spreading throughout your body, loosening and calming.

2688
09:12:30.199 --> 09:12:31.680
And heaving.

2689
09:12:35.120 --> 09:12:41.080
Every power to your body, heaving.

2690
09:12:42.720 --> 09:12:42.919
More.

2691
09:12:46.080 --> 09:13:07.680

Now starting now with number twenty.

2694
09:13:55.160 --> 09:14:17.319
Nineteen sixteen.

2695
09:14:30.279 --> 09:14:48.199
Sixteen fIF.

2696
09:15:00.279 --> 09:15:11.239

You well.

Attatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata hssst.

2699
09:27:35.599 --> 09:27:42.599
One two.

2700
09:27:50.680 --> 09:27:59.000
Camps down from ten to one ten eight.

2701
09:28:01.639 --> 09:28:26.440
Seven, six, five four three two one. And maybe that

2702
09:28:26.639 --> 09:28:30.760
was a bit too quick in order to relax. Maybe

2703
09:28:30.760 --> 09:28:37.120
it's too fast for you to notice the calming of

2704
09:28:37.239 --> 09:28:43.919
your body, maybe even a little bit of pressure there,

2705
09:28:44.080 --> 09:28:46.279
Like you're counting.

2706
09:28:46.040 --> 09:28:47.279
Down from ten to one.

2707
09:28:47.360 --> 09:28:50.639
What do you expect me to do that? Expect me

2708
09:28:50.720 --> 09:28:54.760
to stick all with floppy just because you're counting down.

2709
09:29:00.480 --> 09:29:07.279
You try again, It's time go this lower, It's time

2710
09:29:08.720 --> 09:29:13.599
you focus on the whole of your body before we

2711
09:29:13.839 --> 09:29:20.559
go it on your legs. Just notice how your body

2712
09:29:20.680 --> 09:29:27.680
does start to feel more relaxed.

2713
09:29:33.879 --> 09:29:46.319
Every number that I count down ten nine.

2714
09:29:51.680 --> 09:30:16.279
At eight, seven, six, five.

2715
09:30:26.519 --> 09:30:34.720
Four three.

2716
09:31:09.120 --> 09:31:26.239
One, I just notice how how you feel generally, how

2717
09:31:26.319 --> 09:31:27.160
your body feels.

2718
09:31:31.919 --> 09:31:34.120
Yeah, it's not.

2719
09:31:34.239 --> 09:31:35.839
Necessarily even about.

2720
09:31:37.239 --> 09:31:42.120
Yea counting down from ten to one.

2721
09:31:45.080 --> 09:31:58.480
It's that space that you have, that space between being

2722
09:32:02.080 --> 09:32:06.080
active physically or mentally.

2723
09:32:07.000 --> 09:32:07.519
It's just.

2724
09:32:12.199 --> 09:32:15.199
Sitting or lying down, just being.

2725
09:32:15.000 --> 09:32:20.839
There, not doing anything, not saying anything, or deeding to

2726
09:32:21.120 --> 09:32:22.319
think about anything.

2727
09:32:24.120 --> 09:32:27.839
So it opens up of space, you know, a bit

2728
09:32:27.879 --> 09:32:38.599
of a space, the gap. And the more I came

2729
09:32:38.760 --> 09:32:43.319
down from ten to morrow, the bigger that gap becomes.

2730
09:32:46.319 --> 09:32:52.720
So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort and relaxation,

2731
09:32:58.839 --> 09:33:12.480
some nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts

2732
09:33:12.599 --> 09:33:15.800
physically or emotionally, moves them.

2733
09:33:17.239 --> 09:33:17.879
A way.

2734
09:33:24.480 --> 09:33:25.440
Allows you.

2735
09:33:28.120 --> 09:33:28.639
To just.

2736
09:33:31.639 --> 09:33:32.279
Slow down.

2737
09:33:35.919 --> 09:33:38.360
So i'ming to count again from ten down to one,

2738
09:33:38.800 --> 09:33:48.959
and notice that gap widening, the gap, and this it widens.

2739
09:33:49.080 --> 09:33:54.839
It's almost like that the stress and attention it falls.

2740
09:33:54.680 --> 09:34:13.000
Into the gap. It gives you that distance, that space

2741
09:34:20.360 --> 09:34:34.720
ten nine, five.

2742
09:34:40.120 --> 09:35:05.160
Seven, six, five.

2743
09:35:16.160 --> 09:35:34.879
Four three.

2744
09:36:10.000 --> 09:36:22.599
What how did you.

2745
09:36:24.839 --> 09:36:28.239
What did you do? Now?

2746
09:36:41.000 --> 09:36:43.879
Can you not just do you feeling?

2747
09:36:44.120 --> 09:36:53.639
Come see.

2748
09:36:56.839 --> 09:37:43.879
Last focusing that's fox. Just can start with focusing one

2749
09:37:43.959 --> 09:38:03.599
of the signs. It's not the most exciting thing to

2750
09:38:03.680 --> 09:38:09.879
be doing because I'm sure like most of.

2751
09:38:09.919 --> 09:38:12.800
Your body is not not going wrong way now.

2752
09:38:21.720 --> 09:38:28.080
Just focusing a hole of your buyers, the tops of

2753
09:38:28.199 --> 09:38:36.879
your bids, the sides of the bi boss biers, out

2754
09:38:36.959 --> 09:38:43.559
of thighs in the bus. Basically hold your buy that leads.

2755
09:38:44.279 --> 09:38:45.360
Into your head.

2756
09:38:49.199 --> 09:38:51.400
And goes down to.

2757
09:38:54.199 --> 09:38:54.400
Join.

2758
09:38:59.680 --> 09:39:08.800
And it's a big area, the area that is strong

2759
09:39:10.040 --> 09:39:15.040
and the strongest muscles doing body and in the bights.

2760
09:39:25.239 --> 09:39:26.120
How don't think.

2761
09:39:27.760 --> 09:39:28.800
That as.

2762
09:39:30.199 --> 09:39:40.360
I give them a potention to a bis perhaps some

2763
09:39:40.559 --> 09:39:47.400
thing knowledge and important our bids are.

2764
09:39:50.400 --> 09:39:51.559
To the lives.

2765
09:40:02.680 --> 09:40:03.400
Too much.

2766
09:40:05.800 --> 09:40:19.839
They actually do to us, don't our minds? And they

2767
09:40:20.120 --> 09:40:20.800
may think.

2768
09:40:20.639 --> 09:40:27.279
Itself really really, I don't bought.

2769
09:40:29.720 --> 09:40:31.160
Especially a life.

2770
09:40:32.919 --> 09:40:38.080
Feels were not show.

2771
09:40:49.480 --> 09:40:53.680
Than letting.

2772
09:40:57.080 --> 09:41:06.279
That line, I'm sweets

2773
09:41:15.199 --> 09:41:15.680
What you
