00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:08.240
Hello, Hello, everybody. Welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:23.320
is Sweaty Jason. Oh, it's hot, it's very it's a

3
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:28.039
stuffy day today. It's not. It's not it's not breezy.

4
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:38.240
It's not. It's a bit o plus. Oh I was

5
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.840
about to have a big moan. Then I won't. Okay,

6
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:49.960
this is a big moan. Oh oh, that was a

7
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:58.280
nice moan. Please only listen when you can safely close

8
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:04.159
your eyes. So this morning about I wasn't actually supposed

9
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.040
to go. We're not supposed but I decided that I

10
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.400
was not going to go and visit my neighbor in

11
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.560
hospital today. I was going to visit Wednesday Friday, Monday,

12
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:21.159
Wednesday Friday this week. But after speaking to him this morning,

13
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.200
he needed me to heed. Yeah, I needed to go

14
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.560
up and see him. So I did that. But before

15
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.799
I went up, there was a lot of noise in

16
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.000
the garden, probably about nine o'clock ten o'clock, and it

17
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:47.000
was the scaffolders. Now I've forgotten that they were coming.

18
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.200
So they were putting scaffolding up to put some kind

19
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.560
of knitting around the solar panels to stop the birds

20
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:04.000
from nesting. Something like that they did. The councilor did

21
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.840
call me about two three weeks ago to let me know.

22
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.840
And because they're basically putting a scaffold in my side

23
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:22.919
of the building. Now literally anyone can just walk up

24
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.000
that ladder onto the scaffold in and just get into

25
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:31.240
my windows if my windows were open. So I've got

26
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.360
my windows closed. I've had them closed. I've got them

27
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.680
on the latch, so it's a bit of air, but

28
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.800
they're not open, which is how I would have them

29
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.960
in this heat. And I kept them closed also because

30
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.840
I didn't know how close to the windows the scaffolding

31
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:56.520
was going to be and I needed to go out,

32
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.840
so I couldn't leave Vinny in this living room that

33
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:06.800
normally do it because it was too warm. So I

34
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.439
had to leave the living room door open so he

35
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.159
had the air so he could like go from room

36
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:19.680
to room. So I he's had the access to the

37
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.080
whole flat today, and I know that if he sits

38
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.439
in a hallway, it's very cool in the hallway. There's

39
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.120
no sun there and just you know, so he had

40
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.719
a bit of a it's a lot of banging downstairs,

41
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.520
a lot of door slamming. I don't know why people

42
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.719
Why do people slam doors? What is it about door?

43
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:43.360
Is it?

44
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:43.479
Is?

45
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.639
It? Is it? I don't know. Does it cause some

46
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.759
kind of Is there a part of the brain that

47
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.680
gets stimulated and it gives pleasure that I don't know about,

48
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.439
because maybe I'll start slamming doors if it does give

49
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:05.960
me some kind kind of doorgasm? Doorgasm? H I just

50
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.000
I don't know if it's a pleasurable thing. See, there's

51
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.280
like seven times now the doors slammed, just in that

52
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:24.600
short period of time. I don't know. Yes, So money,

53
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:34.360
money mcmoney, Jason mcmoney, that's my name today. So now

54
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.720
I've come back and all the scaffoldings put up, and

55
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:45.040
there's literally it's just an entrance to my flat, to

56
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:50.160
my windows. Which is not the best time year to

57
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.319
have that, really, I mean, there's no good time. But

58
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.959
I don't necessarily need the windows open in the winter.

59
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.040
Well I do have to windows open in the winter,

60
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.920
but at the moment then it's fairly important to have

61
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:10.360
them open because of the stuffiness and the heat. But

62
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:15.519
I can't go out and leave my flat with the

63
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.240
windows open, because anyone can just walk up the ladder

64
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.360
and just get into my flat and just take my stuff.

65
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.680
And unfortunately, I live in an area where that is

66
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:32.439
something that is very likely to happen. Unfortunately, the flat

67
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:40.720
downstairs got robbed about three months ago. So yeah, there's

68
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.279
just you know, one in Oldish tangs, so it is.

69
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.480
I went to So I went and see my neighbor today,

70
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.199
got a taxi there, got a taxi back, same taxi driver,

71
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:02.040
which is quite unusual. Well, it's unusual so far because

72
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:09.959
I've had so many journeys over the last however many

73
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:21.720
days it's been how many So I traveled there Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

74
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.720
So I did eight days in a row. Then I

75
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:31.800
had Saturday and Sunday off, then I went on Monday,

76
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:37.319
which is yesterday, and then I went again today, which

77
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:41.519
is Tuesday. So I've you know, I've been a few times,

78
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.879
never had the same taxi driver the whole time. You know,

79
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.759
this is the first time I've had two taxi drives

80
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.319
the same tax driver more than once out of that

81
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:59.560
whole period. The door's still slamming. Why is everyone slamming

82
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:09.480
the doors so much? How strange, very very strange, indeed,

83
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:18.759
And so I went and visited him. I managed to

84
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.920
get him some ice from Costa. So he's been talking

85
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.879
about wanting ice in the hospital. I just need to

86
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.720
get some ice. So you need to get well. You

87
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.680
need to get some ice, so you do, which is

88
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.560
not how he speaks at all. And I said, I'll

89
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.639
get you some ice. He said, oh, it'd be good

90
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.519
if it was in a flask, So it would I said,

91
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:47.600
a flask. Yeah, we keep it icier for longer. Yeah,

92
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:55.000
I'm okay. So I got him a cock. I got

93
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.000
him a cock and a coke, got my bottle of coke.

94
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.319
I actually thought he was going to be nil by

95
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.959
mouth because when I spoke to him, he said he

96
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.959
was going to have a procedure done today. When I

97
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:17.000
got there, hiss and and and nil by mouth NBM

98
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:25.079
or whatever it is, it's normally it said nil nil

99
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.560
by mouth nb M. They put on his board underneath

100
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:35.399
his name. I put a change it to d n R.

101
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.240
I thought it was funny. And but there was nothing

102
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.200
on there today that was on there the other day

103
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:46.240
when he had to have a scan. But there was,

104
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:51.600
And he got food, he got his dinner delivered, he

105
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.879
ordered his dinner and I went to the nurse. I said,

106
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:59.919
what what's going on? Isn't it you having a procedure done?

107
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.200
Because I was going to go and get him some

108
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.840
drink from Costers and I didn't want to get him

109
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.200
a drink if he's not allowed to have liquids. And

110
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.440
the nurse said, this is a head nurse. He said, no,

111
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:19.240
he's not having a procedure today. I said, but he

112
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:24.799
said he was, Well, he's not. He's always lying, isn't he.

113
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:30.240
He's always lying. Uncle Sausages. That's that's what everyone calls him.

114
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.279
Vinnie started it. So basically, Vinnie calls him my uncle

115
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:38.480
Sausages because he gives him sausages. So he's got Nanny

116
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:43.759
treats and Uncle sausages. That's the two people. It gives

117
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:47.960
people nicknames depending on what they give him. But now

118
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:53.679
all the staff called him Uncle Sausages as well. Oh

119
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.759
tickle me. How weird would that be? Especially if there

120
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.440
was bad news. I've got some bad news to tell

121
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:11.360
you about Uncle Sausages. So it's yeah, it's I don't

122
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.080
want to get into too much details, but it's not.

123
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.120
It's not thing's going particularly well. But I've gone to

124
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.879
the nurse. I phoned the doctor while I was there

125
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.240
and asked the doctor what time he's going to be

126
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:29.000
visiting the ward. So the nurse said to come there

127
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:33.080
about between nine thirty and ten so that I can

128
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:38.320
be with Uncle Sausages when he gets his when the

129
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:43.000
doctor tells him whatever the doctor needs to tell him.

130
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.440
That way I can be with I can be there

131
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.919
with him. No one's got to give permission to talk

132
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:53.440
to me or anything, because Uncle Sausages always gives permission,

133
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.200
you know. When I'm there, Uncle Sausages said, yeah, you

134
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:02.360
can talk to him about anything. So it just means

135
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.960
I can ask questions or anything if they because Uncle

136
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:14.840
Sosages doesn't always ask questions that perhaps I would ask.

137
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.000
And I do feel like I'm interfering a little bit.

138
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.799
Yet at the same time, I think the best time

139
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:29.919
to ask a doctor a question, especially when the doctor's

140
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.600
only on the ward for a little while, is when

141
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:36.759
the doctor's on the ward. That's you know, it's kind

142
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:43.120
of the only time, isn't it. So I'm going there

143
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:47.720
tomorrow early. It's his birthday Friday, so I'm going to

144
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:54.080
early tomorrow, going to get there by probably nine, and

145
00:11:54.159 --> 00:12:04.200
then hear what the doctor has to say regarding treatment

146
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.039
or whatever, because he's been there for quite a long

147
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.200
time now and he's had constant blood tests et cetera,

148
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:17.279
you know, which is normal blood pressure being taken, and

149
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.279
had a little bit of medication to try and clear

150
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.000
his yellowness. But other than that, he hasn't He's not

151
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.720
in any pain, he's not in anything like that. So

152
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.799
he hasn't had as far as I'm aware, any medication

153
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:37.840
outside of just to get rid of the jaundice. And

154
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.720
he's had a scan like he had the cat scan

155
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.799
when he've done the first day he was there, and

156
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.480
then he's had another big, massive scan of his whole body,

157
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:53.679
which they still haven't given him the proper results from,

158
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.480
or if they have, he's not telling me something little

159
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.399
He was a little bit confused. So yeah, it's a

160
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.679
weird one. Really. I just hope that because he's now

161
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.639
talking about going home, he wants to come home now

162
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.000
he's had nothing there, which I completely understand. I mean,

163
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.840
after halfter half an hour, I want to get out there.

164
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:20.639
It's not it's not a place to it's not an

165
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:27.080
enjoyable place to be, less so for him obviously, but

166
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:31.919
I just yeah, it's I mean, in some ways it's

167
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.799
a bit freer than it is with some of the

168
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:39.759
other wards, because some wards have very strict visit visiting

169
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:44.559
times and he just seems to have a little bit

170
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.600
more freedom in some ways. And there's only four beds

171
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.120
in a ward, which is quite a small amount compared

172
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.440
to some other Some wards are quite big, aren't they.

173
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:01.039
So there's always someone around, he's never everybody has to wait.

174
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.000
There's always a nurse or a care worker within a

175
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.879
few feet from him. So he's been looking at he's

176
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:16.440
been looked after very well. It's just yeah, it's just

177
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:21.200
a I think he's just ready to leave the place.

178
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.279
And his next door neighbor, who is the person in

179
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:34.000
the bed next to him, Derek Trotter, he's actually been released,

180
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.919
so he's not there anymore. He left today about eleven o'clock.

181
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:49.279
Can you hear that? Listen to this? Can you hear

182
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:57.000
that's with the windows closed? That's the RAF. I was

183
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:08.480
gonna say bicycle then RAF thing. Oh, so that's the

184
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.080
update on him. I'm just giving you an update for

185
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:14.559
those that listen regularly. For those that don't listen, regularly.

186
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:16.639
Probably not sure. You might not even know what I'm

187
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:19.960
talking about, which is fine because that fits in with

188
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:30.480
the podcast. Really, So this is this is Oh, I

189
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:38.919
just clicked my collar bone. This is Tuesday, Trivia Tuesday.

190
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:44.360
That's it. I forgot what I was doing then Trivia Tuesday,

191
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.000
so I thought it'd be nice to do something. I did.

192
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.600
I kind of try to do Monday's boring Objects yesterday.

193
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.519
I did it last night. I released it today, but

194
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:57.960
I did it last night and then early this morning

195
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.639
I edited it and uploaded it, processed it and stuff.

196
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:08.919
But I think I spent the first hour talking about

197
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:15.159
my neighbor potentially and maybe some other stuff, and then

198
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.440
the last fifty minutes I've spent talking about hospitals that

199
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.840
I've visited and been in. But you know, it could

200
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.639
have been to be, Yeah, it could have been four

201
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:32.360
or five hours long. If i'd have really focused on

202
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.120
the things that I was going to talk about, it

203
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.879
would have been a very very long recording. And nobody

204
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:44.000
wants Nobody wants that. Wow, five hours long.

205
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.360
Woo woo woo, woo woo whoo.

206
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:56.679
So I don't know what trivia, what trivia should I do?

207
00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.960
I seem to be. I kind of want to Yeah,

208
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.200
I want to move away from hospitals. I've had enough

209
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:11.000
of it. I want to talk about something different. What

210
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:12.319
about the history of medication?

211
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:20.680
No, no trivia about what would be the most random

212
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.160
thing that we could talk about today?

213
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:39.400

GPT list one hundred trivia facts about umbrellas? What about

215
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:07.680
umbrella stuff? That's even too boring for me? The Smurfs,

216
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:18.880
no fairy tales could know. There's got to be something.

217
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:30.200
What could it be? What could it be? Something that

218
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.880
I should be prepared tonight, just a little bit prepared

219
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:41.319
for these recordings, like slightly prepared, just minimally, just by

220
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:43.720
knowing what I'm going to talk about. Would be a

221
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:49.000
good idea, wouldn't it, Especially with this you know, trivia

222
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:53.720
facts or Trivia Tuesday. I mean there was a time.

223
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.119
There have been times when I've already got the list

224
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:01.359
already in front of me before i start talking, But

225
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:05.119
that today is not that case. I'm not prepared at all,

226
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:10.400
other than just fitting here with my little boy. By

227
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:27.599
my thide. It is three twenty six in the afternoon. Annoy,

228
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.799
he's tired I think it's the heat. I think it

229
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:40.519
be the heat which is making me tired. Oh what

230
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:49.039
list one hundred trivia facts about the weather weather if

231
00:19:49.079 --> 00:20:04.319
I can spell that correctly about summers in England over

232
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:20.640
through history, through history history, So at least one hundred

233
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:28.440
trivia facts about summer summers in England throughout through history.

234
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.079
I'm not going to ask it to fact check it.

235
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.400
So if some of the stuff I might say that

236
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:47.599
I'm reading off here maybe completely ridiculously wrong. However, I

237
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.799
have looked into some of this stuff in the past

238
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.480
just out of interest. And the very first one here

239
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.880
is talking about something that I remember. The summer of

240
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:03.839
nineteen seventy six was one of the hottest and dirtiest,

241
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.240
no driest rother in English history. Now, I already knew

242
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.759
that it's one of those things, even at the age

243
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.200
of five, because I was five at that time, and

244
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:22.000
even at five, I knew that there was something weird

245
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:27.200
going on. Even I knew that, Wow, this is hot,

246
00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:35.119
this is really hot, and yeah, I remember that super

247
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:42.079
super super super hot really was I got sunburnt, actually

248
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:47.359
got ended up covered in blisters, which is a weird thing,

249
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.240
but it's true or covered in blisters because I was

250
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:53.759
in I was out in the sunfur without me top on,

251
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:57.960
maybe just in me hunderpens. I don't know that'd be weird.

252
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:04.000
Maybe shorts or something, swimming trunks and we didn't have

253
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:09.440
water nearby, so it's just playing on the playing field,

254
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:15.880
I guess, and the it's quite. This is weird though, okay,

255
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:22.640
because I remember that this in Newcastle and that makes

256
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.759
me wonder because it just means I lived in Newcastle

257
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:32.960
for a lot longer than I realized. But nineteen seventy

258
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.920
six I was in Newcastle. So yeah, so from seventy

259
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:47.480
seventy two to seventy six, I was saying about four years. Yeah,

260
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:53.279
that's weird anyway. So I yeah, covered in blisters on

261
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:57.519
my back, on my front, and I'm being put into

262
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:02.119
a bath. I don't think that was the best idea.

263
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.319
I don't think blisters and a bath are a good combination.

264
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:12.519
But I remember that and it wasn't I remember all

265
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:18.799
the laughter not coming from me. So June the two

266
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:25.000
thousand and twenty three was officially the hottest June on

267
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:33.839
record in England. June twenty twenty three, twenty four, twenty five.

268
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:42.519
I thought June this year was the hottest one, but

269
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.640
maybe so that was something. It was hot. There was

270
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:59.640
some days when it was yeah, right, July. This is

271
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:01.759
the first once I read this in a minute. So

272
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:07.519
the Great heat wave of nine nineteen eleven lasted over

273
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:14.640
ten weeks. I don't remember that one. So when people

274
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.720
act like, oh, it's the hottest, it's never been this

275
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.440
hot for so long, like, yeah, has actually one hundred

276
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:27.559
and ten, one hundred and fourteen years ago. But you know,

277
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:39.599
is there an abnormality, abnomenally anomaly, anomenomally anomaly. England recorded

278
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:46.799
its hottest temperature ever forty point three percent centigrade or

279
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:52.519
one hundred and four point five fahrenheit in Lincolnshire on

280
00:24:52.599 --> 00:25:07.079
the nineteenth of July twenty twenty two. Now if I remember, hm,

281
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:16.400
I just have a memory that was it was really hot.

282
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:20.400
There was one particular day when no one went outside

283
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:26.279
apart from those people that did. It was really just

284
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.000
phoning each other saying I'm naked, Are you naked? Yeah,

285
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.400
I'm naked as well. And it was the only time

286
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:35.799
my whole life that I've been able to phone people

287
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:39.559
up and have that conversation, well, having a conversation where

288
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:45.319
they say, yeah, I'm naked too. Yeah, it was good.

289
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:48.559
The weird thing about it was I was phoning people

290
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.000
up saying are you naked and saying yeah you I said, oh, yeah,

291
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.559
I am. I didn't realize it was hot outside. I

292
00:25:54.559 --> 00:26:04.279
hadn't looked the summer of tooth. I dodn't even know

293
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:08.839
it's outside the summer of two thousand and three because

294
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.000
I put ice cubes on me. That sum of two

295
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.680
thousand and three saw two thousand plus. He okay, I'm

296
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:17.759
not gonna read that out. It's horrible one Oh stop it.

297
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:24.079
The wettest summer on record in England was nineteen nine twelve,

298
00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:34.920
nineteen twelve. Oh, the wettest summer on record nineteen twelve.

299
00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:41.039
Are you sure? Because I remember some wet summers? Number seven.

300
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:49.000
In July nineteen twenty one, London saw thirty two consecutive

301
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:54.559
days without rain. Thirty two Actually just a month, isn't it?

302
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:01.319
In this country it's weird because if we go more

303
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:04.240
than three days of that rain, there's a drought. There's

304
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:09.720
a drought, hose by bad and then three days later

305
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:17.920
flood warnings. That's how it is here. It's all I

306
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:26.279
don't know. It's so short sightedness may be not all

307
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.519
short memory, not remembering that the weather is constantly changing.

308
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:38.799
And that's what this country is, England is it's a

309
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:46.839
multiple seasonal country. In one day, it can be spring, summer,

310
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:51.160
winter all in one day. And it might sound silly,

311
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:55.799
but the changes in the weather can literally be that dramatic,

312
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:05.519
that quick. So what else have we got? Thunderstorms are

313
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:12.759
more common in English summers than in winter. Yep, that's true.

314
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:18.279
I'm agreeing with it. I can't remember the last time

315
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.799
I heard a thunderstorm in the winter, because thunderstorms seemed

316
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:27.839
to be more a heat related thing. You know. The

317
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:33.039
best thunderstorm I ever remember in my entire life, No,

318
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.200
there's two. One was when I was really really little,

319
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:43.599
and I was probably five or six in Newcastle. This

320
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:47.960
is when I was in the kids home and we

321
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:54.799
were in this kind of yard and the building. There

322
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:57.119
was a yard in the middle of this big building,

323
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.000
so we could get in from different exits and stuff

324
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.720
for different entrances. So we were sheltering on one side

325
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:09.440
the building and I kept saying it's thunder and I

326
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:12.519
said no, it's thunder and I said no, yes, thunder,

327
00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:16.880
and they kept saying, no, it's thunder, and I said

328
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:21.359
it's thunder, and she walked off. It wasn't a very

329
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:26.119
long conversation, but I just remember, and for some reason,

330
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:32.559
I just remember that conversation. And then when about two

331
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:41.000
thousand and three, I think it was Wow, there was

332
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.400
a thunderstorm. It was the biggest thunderstorm I've ever seen.

333
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:49.880
And I was living quite high up in this building,

334
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:56.799
not like super high, but not high enough to parachute out,

335
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:06.640
but high enough to to not you know, yeah, it's

336
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:10.880
high enough, high enough to you need a rope or

337
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:13.680
a rope ladder to get down, but it's not quite

338
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:16.640
high enough for a parachute to really gain any kind

339
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:21.960
of usefulness. Probably wouldn't even be open before you hit

340
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:27.160
the ground. I never tried it. I haven't got a parachute,

341
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.240
but yeah, it was. It was up high enough and

342
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:34.680
there was nothing overlooking it, which is quite nice. So

343
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:39.200
it kind of had all the sky and this thunderstorm

344
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:48.680
so big and so lightningly and so thundery and loud,

345
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:55.759
really loud. I loved it. It was wonderful. And it

346
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:58.359
was during the summer as well. So this is two

347
00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:06.519
thousand and three in the and it was powerful, powerful,

348
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:13.519
really good. It was. It was a good moment. What

349
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:22.839
other thunderstorms can I remember? Not many? Really, No, No,

350
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:31.920
not many thunderstorms thunderstorms. Can I remember any thunderstormms? No,

351
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.000
I don't seem to be able to remember any. There's

352
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:40.799
been lots. I remember the day that Elvis left us

353
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.920
in nineteen seventy seven. I think it thundered them that

354
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:46.720
day during the day, and it was in the summer

355
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:54.440
and the rain, the rain. We got absolutely drenched, but

356
00:31:54.559 --> 00:32:00.240
it was warm, so it wasn't an uncomfortable soaking. It

357
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:04.920
was quite a nice soaking, in fact, and if you're

358
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:08.559
ever going to get completely soaked, that seemed like quite

359
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:11.559
a good time to have it happen. And it was

360
00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:13.240
quite a good day to have it happened as well,

361
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:20.000
because a lot of people were sad that Elvis had

362
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:27.079
left us. So it's not really weird weird day that was.

363
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:31.319
I was upset as well, but for different reasons. I mean,

364
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:35.039
I'll be honest, I knew who Elvis was, but I

365
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:39.279
was I was six years old, so I wasn't so

366
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:44.039
kind of up with who he was or what he did.

367
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:50.359
And he sung stuff so my oldest brother was upset

368
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:54.839
because he was a massive fan and all the TV

369
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:57.920
because he was watching on the TV all the news,

370
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.400
every channel had news stories about him. So all the

371
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:04.839
other all the other programs were canceled. This was Saturday morning,

372
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.720
and it's like, you know, and I was upset because

373
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:14.599
every channel had his were talking about him, and there's

374
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:21.880
no cartoons on. So I was five, no, six six

375
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:29.279
in August two thousand and four. Oh there was one

376
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:35.279
time I got drenched where oh yeah, I think it

377
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.119
was a thunderstorm as well. And I walked to my

378
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:43.599
dad's on Christmas Day. This would be ninety eighty nine,

379
00:33:46.960 --> 00:34:00.680
ninety ninety, maybe nineteen yeah, maybe, I think so, probably

380
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:08.119
about nineteen ninety Christmas Day, and gone the way to

381
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:12.519
his house, which wasn't wasn't a long journey. It's probably

382
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:22.280
twenty twenty five minute walk. I got soaked, so I'm annoyed.

383
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:31.360
I'm yeah, I'm er. So I knock on his door,

384
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:39.159
going completely drenched, and he said, oh, do you want

385
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.840
to want to I've got some closing spare closing partly

386
00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:47.920
if you want. And I said no. I was so angry,

387
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:51.199
and I just stood there in his wet clothes. I

388
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.440
couldn't sit down, I couldn't do anything. In the end,

389
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:56.079
I just had to say, yeah, well that's all right.

390
00:34:56.559 --> 00:35:02.800
So he's got me some a jumper and some tracksuit

391
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:08.559
bottoms or something. But I was like, I was determined

392
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:16.079
not to have anything. I was so how could the

393
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:18.719
weather do this to me?

394
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:19.880
Me?

395
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:26.719
Me? I could have just got a tax and I

396
00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:29.159
couldn't have got a taxi Christmas Day. But I know

397
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.599
if I'd just called my dad, he'd have come and

398
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:36.480
got me. Well, I could have just said, look, i'll

399
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.599
come around, but I'm going to wait until it stops raining,

400
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:40.679
and then my dad would have come and got me.

401
00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:43.639
So or his wife would have come and got me.

402
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.320
Didn't have to be a big deal. I just needed

403
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:56.800
another controversial Christmas. Now that was all right. After that,

404
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:04.960
I can't think of any thunderstorms off hand. Some may

405
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.119
come to me as I'm talking, this might be a

406
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:11.280
subject of thunderstorms. It's weird. It didn't mean it to be.

407
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:16.920
But if any, if any of the thunderstorms pop into

408
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:28.800
my head, I will tell you. In August two thousand

409
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:34.800
and four, boss calm down wherever that is recorded a

410
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:43.199
single day rainfall total of one hundred and twenty feet

411
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:48.679
of of rain or millimeters of rain whatever that. I

412
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:52.559
don't know what what's one hundred and twenty millimeters? Why

413
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:56.559
do they just do it in feet? So is that

414
00:36:56.599 --> 00:37:03.519
a foot of rain two foot of rain? H h.

415
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:12.719
Strawberries ripe and faster during long, warm English summers. See,

416
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:18.719
I don't really know much about strawberries, but I feel

417
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:24.760
like I already knew that fruit. I mean, you just

418
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:30.840
take away the strawberries and just say bananas, apples. It

419
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:41.800
doesn't all fruit ripe and faster in the warmth? Me

420
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:45.159
am I being? Am I being a bit silly there?

421
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:53.639
I don't know. It could be oh, summer traditions and festivals, Wimbledon,

422
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:58.840
which has just started yesterday, Wimbledon, or as I like

423
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:05.480
to call it, grumpled or not grumbled and gruntle grunt

424
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:17.320
gruntled them because they grunt a lot. Ah. Yeah, I

425
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:21.599
used to actually want I lived alone in the house

426
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:26.119
because I've moved around a lot over the years. Not

427
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.519
for the last ten years, but before that a lot.

428
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:34.440
I'm talking a lot. Lot. Started off when I was born,

429
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:38.440
really like six months old, and I started moving. I'll

430
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:40.559
packed me back. I did I packed my bags up,

431
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:47.360
and I thought, that's it. I'm out here. So if

432
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:51.159
I was in a shared house, I would put Wimbledon

433
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:54.280
on Wimbledon to the two weeks. I would turn up

434
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:59.880
the female matches really loud, so that my neighbors all

435
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:00.840
you could hear us.

436
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:07.320
Ah ah ooh ah.

437
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.119
So I thought that they might think that maybe I

438
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:17.639
had a girlfriend and I knew ways to make her happy.

439
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:19.760
I don't know. I don't really know what was going

440
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:25.760
on in my mind. It went quite well until the audience.

441
00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:29.679
The audience applauded that that's when it felt like okay.

442
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:32.480
I remember one one of my neighbors said, how big

443
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:35.079
is your room? You could fit an audience in there

444
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:45.119
and a tennis pitch. Oh dear. Wimbledon has been held

445
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:52.360
nearly every summer since eighteen seventy seven. Now, I think

446
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:58.920
Wimbledon was canceled in two ty twenty. I think, as

447
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:09.960
was the Olympics. I also think that Wimbledon was canceled

448
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:14.920
during the Two Wars, the two World Wars as well.

449
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:20.440
I'm just thinking about like the World Cup and stuff.

450
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:24.360
I'm guessing Wimbledon would not be going ahead during the

451
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:28.920
World War in this country. So I could look that up,

452
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:32.400
but I can't be bothered. It's weird, isn't it. I mean,

453
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:36.760
I'm actually talked about stuff and I just it just

454
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.880
the idea of just pushing the keys on a keyboard

455
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:47.000
just seems like a lot of effort. The notting Hill Carnival,

456
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:56.199
a summer event, began in nineteen sixty six. So the

457
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:59.079
notting Hill Carnival, for those who don't know what it is,

458
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:06.800
it's a it's a very famous carnival in this country

459
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:14.440
that has a degree of a notoriority about it. And

460
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:20.719
I think it's basically because it's a street carnival and

461
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:26.800
it's the police can't control it the way they can

462
00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:33.519
maybe if something's in a park, they can have a

463
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:37.280
bit more control of something if it's kind of stuck

464
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:44.360
in one place. But the notting Hill Carnival, it's on

465
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:48.320
the move and there's millions of people probably turn up

466
00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:55.679
and from all over the world, and it's I get

467
00:41:55.679 --> 00:42:01.960
a sense it is kind of chaotic. I also get

468
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:08.039
a sense that the press focused just on they don't

469
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:12.719
they don't focus on the nice parts of it, and

470
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:18.239
it's probably mainly really a good, good vibe. I just

471
00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:20.800
I've never been there. I never wanted to, never really

472
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:25.280
felt it's just for me. It's the crowds, too many people.

473
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:30.880
I wouldn't really want to go to any festival or

474
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:36.519
carnival or other just because of the amount of people.

475
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:43.880
It's just like, Wow, I might go one day. Maybe

476
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:46.679
that should be on my little my bucket list, to

477
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:50.559
go to the notting Hill Carnival. I tell you what

478
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:52.519
I would like. I'd like to I'd like to be

479
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:55.760
on one of the floats. I'd like if I was

480
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:57.960
gonna think if I was going to do something like

481
00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:01.239
go to Notting Hill Carnival, I'd like to be involved,

482
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:05.599
even if it was just handing out bottles of water

483
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.760
to people for free, something like that, Just to be

484
00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:11.920
involved in a positive way so that I can be

485
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:19.159
part of it. But not a spectator, but also not

486
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:25.400
a performer, you know, just kind of the background kind

487
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:28.760
of person. That's kind of what I liked in a

488
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:33.840
comedy club. I liked the idea of being in the background,

489
00:43:33.840 --> 00:43:35.320
so I could be at the back of the club

490
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:40.519
watching the acts, but also help with putting a show together,

491
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:43.559
you know, getting the seats ready before the people got in,

492
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:50.320
maybe emptying the tables of glasses throughout the breaks and

493
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:56.840
just helping out in the background, So being part of

494
00:43:56.880 --> 00:44:00.519
the comedy night, but not being the focus the comedy

495
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:05.159
night that I quite liked that. I'm not saying that

496
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.079
I would have I would have loved to have been,

497
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:13.400
you know, the main act on stage. That never happened,

498
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:17.159
and that was that I wasn't destined to do that

499
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:24.400
at that time. But outside of being the star I was,

500
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:31.599
I quite liked just I, okay, this is it in

501
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:35.559
preference to being an audience member, because I used to

502
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:39.159
go to loads of comedy clubs. I went to every

503
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:42.920
I think apart from Jonglers, and that's the only comedy

504
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:46.039
club I didn't never visit. I don't know why I

505
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:51.800
never went to Jonglers in London, but pretty much every

506
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:55.199
comedy club that was around in the nineties I visited,

507
00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:01.760
like every single one, every single one, and there's hundreds

508
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:08.199
of caban went during that time. And I used to

509
00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:11.679
just turn up and people knew who I was. Quite

510
00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:14.519
a few of the people running the clubs were comedians themselves,

511
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:17.880
so I knew them and I just hang around with them,

512
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:21.400
or we stand at the bar and just watch the

513
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:28.119
watch the acts maybe sometimes go on do a little

514
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:31.639
spot maybe sometimes. But it was just nice to be

515
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:38.239
in the background. I like that rather than being rather

516
00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:41.960
than sort of sitting in a in a chair with

517
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:46.400
the audience. I liked to Yes, it's nice to just

518
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:51.119
what am I talking about? While am I mentioning that? Oh? Yeah,

519
00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:55.679
the Notting Hill Carnival. Yeah. If I was participated in

520
00:45:55.679 --> 00:46:00.639
some way, then that would be cool, but in a

521
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:06.440
positive way. You know. I wouldn't want to be not

522
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:08.639
that I could do that, but like being part of

523
00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:12.599
I want to be working, like being a security or something,

524
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:16.840
because that that doesn't that wouldn't be fun because then

525
00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:22.639
I wouldn't be relaxed. So maybe I'll go there, wouldn't

526
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:32.280
they go to the dtig Hill Cardival. Morris dancing is

527
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:38.280
traditionally performed in the summer, So Morris dancing. I just

528
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:40.840
to do Morris dancing at school? Is that the one

529
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:46.559
where you got you're going around the pole and you're

530
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:49.639
dancing around the pole and you've got it's a different

531
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:52.400
pole to one of my mum used to dance around.

532
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:55.800
But this one is no one, no one chucks money

533
00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:01.079
at you. This one is you hold onto like a ribbon.

534
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:03.760
Thing a colored ribbon, and you dance in and out

535
00:47:03.760 --> 00:47:06.079
of each other, but not literally in and out, but like,

536
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:09.519
I don't know how it kind of makes a pattern

537
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:15.719
on the pole, a pattern from the different bits of fabric.

538
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:22.480
Is that Morris dancing? Or've I got it wrong? Or

539
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:26.119
is that fairy dancing? Or that's a different, different type

540
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:31.280
of dancing may pole? That's may pole dancing. Isn't it

541
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:36.519
for may day may Pole dancing? So morrows dancing, that's

542
00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:44.719
a that's a Scottish thing, isn't it Morris? I'm not sure.

543
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:50.079
I think Morris dancing Scottish dancing. I might be wrong.

544
00:47:53.039 --> 00:48:00.880
Pims Pims, a popular summer drink, was invented in eighteen forty.

545
00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:11.199
It is Pims ani seed. I think it might be

546
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:17.400
someone's listening to a TV. It's really loud. Do you

547
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:21.639
think people sometimes listen to really loud things because it

548
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:25.840
distracts them from their own thoughts? Because I don't know.

549
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:29.280
I had a neighbor who I visited, and I went

550
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:33.119
in there and this neighbor was literally had the music

551
00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:37.559
so loud. I had to leave. I couldn't. It was

552
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:45.360
too loud for me. And it's almost like it was well,

553
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:50.880
it would be impossible for me to think. In fact,

554
00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:57.719
I think I'd struggle to do even the most simple task.

555
00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:01.039
So if you said to me, I'll just add these

556
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:05.159
numbers up, basic numbers, you know something is it takes

557
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:08.239
a little bit of brain power, but not much and

558
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:12.880
even just working it out on a pad like two

559
00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:16.480
plaus four plus nine plus six plus nine plus five,

560
00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:18.840
but you know, just a few numbers, like okay, if

561
00:49:18.880 --> 00:49:23.000
I might take a few seconds to just figure it out,

562
00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:28.159
it'd be almost impossible with the volume of that music.

563
00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:35.559
That's what I mean. And I remember saying when I

564
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:40.360
worked in evolution in Ipswich, I worked in the evolution shop,

565
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:45.880
which was run by Buddhists, and I said to them,

566
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:50.880
because there was the front entrance, but the back entrance,

567
00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:54.960
So you went through there was a little office that's

568
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:57.199
where the computer was and they did everything out there.

569
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:01.599
But there was another sit out the back which was

570
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:05.000
a fire escape, and out of there you could then

571
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.079
walk through out of the other door, or there was

572
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.800
a few different exits. There's some stairs you can go up,

573
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:15.039
and that was where all the other surrounding shops kind

574
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:21.679
of led into. That was their back entrances. And there

575
00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:28.119
was a key in the door, and there was there

576
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:31.039
was a pushbar which opened the door, but it didn't

577
00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:33.000
work if the key was locked. If it was locked,

578
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:38.400
it wouldn't work. And I said to the person, one

579
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:40.559
of the people that was kind of managing the shop,

580
00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:45.119
I said, you have to leave that door unlocked when

581
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:48.360
we're in the shop. Of course, you lock it at

582
00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:50.199
night when there's no one in there, but when we're

583
00:50:50.239 --> 00:50:52.679
in the shop, it has to be left open. So

584
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:56.000
when you push the bar, the door opens. And his

585
00:50:56.320 --> 00:50:59.440
answer was, we see, it just turned the key. It's

586
00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:04.119
not that different. And I tried to explain to him

587
00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:11.239
that in an emergency, things that are very simple normally

588
00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:17.199
aren't always simple, and he didn't get it. He didn't

589
00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:21.039
understand what I meant, but he did stop locking the

590
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:26.000
door because I made such a fuss. So I'm quite.

591
00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:31.239
I'm quite on the old health and safety things like that.

592
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:35.480
I think it's just too important to ignore. He did

593
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:39.000
get the ump, but he got over it. I'm sure

594
00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:43.480
it's twenty one years ago. I think he's I think

595
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:45.760
he's recovered. I do I do, I do, I do

596
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:52.480
I do? And I've been in that situation where I

597
00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:54.280
had to call for an I had to call for

598
00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:58.440
the police once and I couldn't get my phone to work.

599
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:06.199
It was just a normal phone, probably a smartphone, it wasn't.

600
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:08.119
I mean, it was a while ago, but it was

601
00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:10.719
a smartphone. And all I wanted to do is press

602
00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:14.199
nine to nine to nine, And because I was so

603
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:23.039
h like not knowing what to do that, I was

604
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:27.039
struggling just to press nine nine nine and to press

605
00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:30.239
the button for it to ring. Seriously, it took me

606
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:34.199
about six attempts to do it because my hand was shaking,

607
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:37.880
and it wasn't. It wasn't fear so much. Maybe it

608
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:40.400
was fear, but it wasn't fear for myself because I

609
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:44.480
was trying to help someone else that was looked like

610
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:48.360
they were in trouble. So I wasn't fearful for myself

611
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:59.760
or anything. I just I guess panicked, I suppose. So, yeah,

612
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.360
I don't know. I'm not quite sure. What's that got

613
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:08.800
to do with Morris dancing. I don't know. Pims, Oh yeah, pims,

614
00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:17.480
because it's I don't know how I got onto that

615
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:27.440
subject of doors that are locked. That's weird, isn't it so.

616
00:53:27.639 --> 00:53:34.440
Glastonbury Festival began in nineteen seventy and became a summer staple.

617
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:43.639
So Glastonbury I think Glastonbury was our version of wood Woodcock?

618
00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:52.679
Is it Woodcock? Woodcock? You know the American really famous

619
00:53:52.679 --> 00:54:01.400
festival of nineteen sixty nine, would would would Cock Woodcock?

620
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:05.320
I think it's wood Cock. But that was the That

621
00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:11.239
was a huge festival, wasn't it. Jimi Hendrix and the

622
00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:14.079
Rolling Stones and stuff like that. I think it was

623
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:16.239
sixty nine. It might have been sixty six. I think

624
00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:22.920
it was sixty nine. And would Stock, not Cock would

625
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:31.920
Cock Stock, would would would Stock? Blimey. So I think

626
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:38.719
Glastonbury was our version of would Stock, which was an

627
00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:43.360
America and I'm guessing other countries probably did the same.

628
00:54:44.159 --> 00:54:50.480
They copied and they had their own summer festivals. And

629
00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:55.920
Glastonbury I'm guessing because it's on at the moment, I

630
00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:59.679
think it's one, and there's lots of festivals in this

631
00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:02.920
kind of tree. I think is one of the biggest,

632
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:09.119
if not the biggest festival in the entire country. No,

633
00:55:09.239 --> 00:55:11.480
I'm talking about England, so I think it is the

634
00:55:11.519 --> 00:55:15.760
biggest one. But I might be wrong. Okay, So don't

635
00:55:18.159 --> 00:55:20.960
don't send me shoes are too small for me as punishment.

636
00:55:21.039 --> 00:55:24.239
I'm just I don't know. I hopefully I might be right.

637
00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:26.639
I don't care if I'm right or not. It's just

638
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:32.559
it seems to be the most famous one, you know,

639
00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:36.000
I went, I once wet, and I once wet myself. No,

640
00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:46.519
I once went to last night at the Summer Orchestra

641
00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:53.320
or last night at the Proms. That's it. I was

642
00:55:53.440 --> 00:56:02.519
in Talky, Talky, Talky, Yeah, it was talkey. I was

643
00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:08.159
in Talky in two thousand and three. It was in

644
00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:14.960
the summer two thousand and three, maybe September, And I

645
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:18.559
went and visited me cousin who lived there with his girlfriend.

646
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:27.599
Absolutely loved the place, love loved loved the place. It

647
00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:30.119
was lovely. I really liked it. It's one of my

648
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:36.480
favorite favorite places I've ever been ever. And we went

649
00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:39.719
to the park, the local park, and last night the

650
00:56:39.719 --> 00:56:42.199
proms was on there and they were I think they

651
00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:44.800
were filming it for the TV and it was live

652
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:49.480
or something like that. In the park. The park was

653
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:58.039
all cordoned off and we couldn't get in or they

654
00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:00.280
were charging money to get in, and we did want

655
00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:02.639
to pay something like that. So what we did is

656
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:07.800
we climbed over the fences and we just crept in.

657
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:14.360
We snacked it, snack snacked. We sneaked. We crept and

658
00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:21.400
we sneaked snacked in and it was cool. It was

659
00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:26.960
really nice. There were people asking for you know, proof

660
00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:29.719
of tickets and stuff. I don't quite know why, but

661
00:57:31.360 --> 00:57:33.960
we got asked to leave a couple of times. But

662
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:37.639
it was It was still fun, though not as many

663
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:41.800
people there as I thought there would be, but it

664
00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:47.039
was nice, It's really and the evening was lovely. It

665
00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:51.960
was one of those beautiful summer evenings. It wasn't hot,

666
00:57:52.400 --> 00:57:55.079
it wasn't like hot hot, it wasn't cold. It was

667
00:57:55.239 --> 00:57:58.880
just it was near the end of the summer. Maybe

668
00:57:58.960 --> 00:58:06.079
August time things about it. But it was really pleasant. Yeah,

669
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:09.599
maybe it was July. It was nice during the day.

670
00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:12.840
I did get a suntan or I've got a bit burnt.

671
00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.880
Rather don't go and get sundown's got a bit burnt.

672
00:58:18.760 --> 00:58:28.679
But it was nice, very nice. And that's that's yeah.

673
00:58:28.760 --> 00:58:37.639
I just remembered that. Anyway, Summer Solstice celebrates at Stonehenge

674
00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:48.079
at dates back fairms of years, long before the people

675
00:58:48.079 --> 00:58:56.320
in this country or the royalty adopted things such as Christianity,

676
00:58:56.760 --> 00:59:02.320
So we used to be Pagans, I think in this

677
00:59:02.440 --> 00:59:14.840
country before the Romans came here trooping the color. The

678
00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:20.039
King's official birthday parade is held in Dewan, So yeah,

679
00:59:20.119 --> 00:59:23.199
that was we had that the other day a couple

680
00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:30.599
of weeks back, the loads of planes and stuff coming

681
00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:39.960
over here for his birthday, traveling towards London. The Henley

682
00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:46.840
Royal Regatta Regata regatta has taken place every summer since

683
00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:56.159
eighteen thirty nine. Well, let me tell you something. I

684
00:59:56.199 --> 00:59:59.559
know a little bit about the Henley Regatta because in

685
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:06.719
the nine I got myself a job selling I don't

686
01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:11.199
really want to call them, basically trying to sell companies

687
01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:17.159
deals for their staff to go to the Henley Regatta.

688
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:24.440
And it was expensive, expensive, and all the staff that

689
01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:26.360
they took on they didn't pay them anything.

690
01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:27.719
It was.

691
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:35.519
Commission only and it was just a numbers game. So

692
01:00:35.639 --> 01:00:39.400
they had people that came along and did really well,

693
01:00:42.639 --> 01:00:46.239
and then they had people like me that were desperate

694
01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:51.519
to earn some money, wanted to do really well, but

695
01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:55.280
couldn't be there long enough to do really well because

696
01:00:55.480 --> 01:01:01.159
I had maybe four days to earn some money before

697
01:01:01.639 --> 01:01:03.559
I couldn't afford to get in anymore. I couldn't afford

698
01:01:03.599 --> 01:01:08.800
to travel. But if i'd have had, well, I probably

699
01:01:08.800 --> 01:01:10.719
wouldn't have been allowed to stay there for three months.

700
01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:13.159
If I'd have had to do a good period of time,

701
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:21.239
I would have learned more and perhaps being able to

702
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:26.760
sell something. And the commission was good though. I mean

703
01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:36.480
we're talking thousands and thousands of pounds these ten twenty

704
01:01:36.519 --> 01:01:39.679
grand or whatever for these packages, so I'd be earning

705
01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:45.119
some good money in commission. But yeah, I remember that

706
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:51.719
I was there for about three days. Three days. I

707
01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:54.440
had a lot of sales jobs and would talk about

708
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:57.519
that one day because it is something that I never

709
01:01:57.519 --> 01:02:00.760
really spoken about. I mean I spoke about the sales

710
01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:04.719
jobs in insurance. I've talked a little bit about the

711
01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:09.920
sales job where I did the selling phone contracts to people,

712
01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:14.679
but I've not I thought, I've ever really gone into

713
01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:20.280
detail about some of the other sales jobs that I've had,

714
01:02:21.840 --> 01:02:23.719
And I'll try and listen them. Let me see if

715
01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:32.280
I could listen them for you Life Insurance. This is

716
01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:40.440
back in nineteen eighty nine or before that, in nineteen

717
01:02:40.559 --> 01:02:49.920
ninety I had a sales job selling time share. So

718
01:02:50.039 --> 01:02:53.000
that was the second or I had a sales job

719
01:02:53.400 --> 01:03:00.000
selling and this is in probably about eighty eight eighty nine,

720
01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:15.000
probably selling water filters, so that didn't quite work out, yes,

721
01:03:15.159 --> 01:03:18.920
the water filters. Then I had another job selling advertising,

722
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:28.639
and another job selling printing. So that's going around going

723
01:03:28.639 --> 01:03:35.320
around the docks into buildings trying to sell basically just printing,

724
01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:40.639
printing costs and paper and stuff like that. A lot

725
01:03:40.679 --> 01:03:45.599
a few sales, but I didn't really go very far.

726
01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:52.119
Then I had the job selling life insurance door to

727
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:57.519
door in nineteen eighty nine in London. Then I had

728
01:03:57.519 --> 01:04:04.159
a job it wasn't technically selling, but it was trying

729
01:04:04.199 --> 01:04:06.920
to get people to have this is door to door

730
01:04:08.239 --> 01:04:14.880
the satellite dishes for Sky and they'd have to satellite

731
01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:18.880
dish for a month I think. And it was the baby.

732
01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:26.519
It was the puppy sales technique, so you'd give them.

733
01:04:26.679 --> 01:04:28.239
But you know, if you give someone a puppy for

734
01:04:28.239 --> 01:04:31.119
a month and then go and take it back, they're

735
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:32.679
not going to want you to take the puppy back

736
01:04:32.719 --> 01:04:36.800
because they'll have a fall in love with puppy, and that's

737
01:04:36.840 --> 01:04:39.920
that's why it's called that. So if you leave something

738
01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:43.480
with someone for a period of time for free, and

739
01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:46.360
then you go and collect it, they're going to quite

740
01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:50.519
likely say no, I'll keep it and pay you. And

741
01:04:50.559 --> 01:04:54.639
that's how Sky did their their thing.

742
01:04:55.719 --> 01:04:56.039
Now.

743
01:04:56.519 --> 01:04:59.920
Part of the reason I stopped doing it because firstly,

744
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:03.199
no one wanted to satellite dish because they were at

745
01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:08.320
the time there were a joke. It was it's one

746
01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:12.639
of those things that the newspapers were ridiculing them, like

747
01:05:12.840 --> 01:05:14.840
we would want one of those ugly things on the

748
01:05:14.920 --> 01:05:21.440
side of their their house, and the TV channels aren't much,

749
01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:24.199
and it was just it was kind of just starting

750
01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:28.920
up and it was not classed as a particularly good

751
01:05:28.960 --> 01:05:33.800
thing to have. And that changed over the years and

752
01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:41.039
they became a worldwide phenomenon with Rupert Modoc Murdoch who

753
01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:45.719
now owns Fox I think, or one of those massive

754
01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:50.880
TV stations, and he gets married. He's in his nineties

755
01:05:50.920 --> 01:06:00.039
now and he gets married every year or so. And

756
01:05:59.679 --> 01:06:04.400
I kind of wish I'd stuck with that, because that

757
01:06:04.519 --> 01:06:07.639
proved to be I think I was knocking on the

758
01:06:07.679 --> 01:06:12.159
wrong doors. I could have done that during the day,

759
01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:15.960
if I'd done that all the time as a job,

760
01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:19.639
if I'd have had the if i'd have had enough money,

761
01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:23.360
because it was commission only. Of course, again, if I'd

762
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:28.599
have just had enough to get me by for six months,

763
01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:33.159
I think I could have turned it into a very

764
01:06:33.440 --> 01:06:40.880
very successful enterprise and started to take on other people

765
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:43.440
to work for me. I think I could have ended

766
01:06:43.519 --> 01:06:46.239
up being well. If I'd have done it like that,

767
01:06:46.480 --> 01:06:50.000
I'd have ended up being very very successful, very very

768
01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:53.880
young as well. And I knew about canvassing because I've

769
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:57.239
done that before. That was my job for a while

770
01:06:57.760 --> 01:07:03.119
in nineteen eighty nine, during like the whole of that summer,

771
01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:08.519
and I was I was what was like eighteen at

772
01:07:08.519 --> 01:07:11.440
the time, so I just turned nineteen when I was

773
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:19.239
doing this the satellite dishes, So yeah, I could have.

774
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:24.159
I just I was working during the day and I

775
01:07:24.199 --> 01:07:27.280
was naked, to be honest with you, I was just naked.

776
01:07:27.320 --> 01:07:30.599
I couldn't be bothered to and I wanted to earn

777
01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:33.760
some more money and try and do something. But it

778
01:07:33.800 --> 01:07:36.719
was winter and I wash, you know, beginning of the

779
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:42.920
year in nineteen ninety. Yeah, nineteen ninety's the beginning of

780
01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:47.639
the year. It's really cold and windy and wet. It

781
01:07:47.719 --> 01:07:53.000
wasn't much fun, but it was an opportunity, it really was.

782
01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:59.440
And then as I said, did the Henry Regatta. This

783
01:07:59.559 --> 01:08:02.800
is a few years later or a couple of years later,

784
01:08:03.079 --> 01:08:09.800
and then I did. Oh. I also did the time

785
01:08:09.880 --> 01:08:14.840
share as well in nineteen ninety. That was weird because

786
01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:17.199
I actually did get a sale and then they changed

787
01:08:17.239 --> 01:08:22.199
their mind. But what I did in that thing, I

788
01:08:22.199 --> 01:08:25.159
had to sit on a table. That what they did

789
01:08:25.239 --> 01:08:32.600
is really weird. They they offered people a gift to

790
01:08:32.680 --> 01:08:39.039
come and listen to a presentation. That's what it was.

791
01:08:39.479 --> 01:08:42.880
So they'd go along. They'd think they were getting a

792
01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:47.600
new car as a gift. Some people actually came up

793
01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:51.199
on the train and said, well, where's a car. Then

794
01:08:52.159 --> 01:08:54.119
I came up on I came up on the train.

795
01:08:54.199 --> 01:08:57.479
I'm going to drive back like they were just going

796
01:08:57.520 --> 01:09:00.399
to be given a car. And what it was really

797
01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:03.600
is they were put into a raffle. If they attended

798
01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:08.119
watched the movie, which was probably twenty minutes, and then

799
01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:10.279
they sat down with one of us and talked to

800
01:09:10.359 --> 01:09:15.800
us and let us try and sell them timeshare. And

801
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:18.239
if they went through that process, then they would be

802
01:09:18.439 --> 01:09:23.359
entered into winning something. It might just be a box

803
01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:27.600
of nothing, or it might be it might be a

804
01:09:27.640 --> 01:09:30.720
discount in a supermarket. It might be a voucher, it

805
01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:33.880
could be anything, or could be a car. And they

806
01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:36.640
had a big car in the showroom, but one car.

807
01:09:37.319 --> 01:09:39.359
And you know, someone just turned up and said, well,

808
01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:41.920
how did I get in? Where's the keys? It's like, no,

809
01:09:43.720 --> 01:09:47.279
it's not quite you know. I'm not sure if the

810
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:53.399
adverts were misleading. I don't know. Maybe I hope not,

811
01:09:55.439 --> 01:09:57.800
but I did. What I did notice is I was

812
01:09:57.840 --> 01:09:59.880
talking to these people and I was making them laugh

813
01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:04.600
and I quite liked that, quite enjoyed that. And I

814
01:10:04.640 --> 01:10:09.479
was just telling them stories about my life and they

815
01:10:09.520 --> 01:10:15.880
were laughing and it felt quite nice. And one person

816
01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:19.119
actually told me they'll take it, you know, they'll take

817
01:10:19.159 --> 01:10:26.520
the They'll they accepted the sale, and I'm like, wow,

818
01:10:26.800 --> 01:10:32.399
I didn't expect that. And then they passed me. They

819
01:10:32.439 --> 01:10:35.239
passed them over to the person they had to do

820
01:10:35.279 --> 01:10:41.479
the contracts, and then they changed their mind. I mean

821
01:10:41.520 --> 01:10:46.560
I was there for probably four days, maybe five days,

822
01:10:47.840 --> 01:11:00.359
and this was I would say October time, nineteen ninety

823
01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:04.680
and it was in a different town and I just like, ah,

824
01:11:05.239 --> 01:11:06.680
so I just came home and.

825
01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:07.119
That was it.

826
01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:11.960
I don't know what other things, what other things have

827
01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:16.039
I done. I've got little memories of places. Oh yeah,

828
01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:19.439
I sold. This is actually a paid, paid job I had.

829
01:11:20.199 --> 01:11:26.760
This was selling till role, you know for tills, you know,

830
01:11:26.920 --> 01:11:29.760
like in shops, just to till roll the role it

831
01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:35.800
goes in the till. And the amount of people that

832
01:11:35.880 --> 01:11:42.920
thought I was selling toilet roll, it just got it

833
01:11:43.079 --> 01:11:47.479
just got silly, like I don't need any toilet roll,

834
01:11:47.680 --> 01:11:52.600
no till role. So for some reason on the phone

835
01:11:54.319 --> 01:11:56.079
just wanted to hey, getting on with your till roll.

836
01:11:56.840 --> 01:12:00.119
It seems to sound like toilet roll. Who who do

837
01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:02.840
you get who supplies this? Who supplies your toilet role?

838
01:12:03.319 --> 01:12:08.039
And they say toilet role, said no till roll. Then

839
01:12:08.079 --> 01:12:10.800
after a while I realized I was saying toilet role,

840
01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:16.600
and yeah, I got confusing. I think I managed to

841
01:12:16.600 --> 01:12:20.840
get a sale with my friend who had a comedy

842
01:12:20.840 --> 01:12:24.520
club and he took some roles on. I mean it

843
01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:32.239
was it was a legitimate company, and you know, it

844
01:12:32.279 --> 01:12:35.399
wasn't like they were dodger or anything. They paid a

845
01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:39.279
basic plus a commission. I got the job because a

846
01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:41.600
friend had had a job and he got me the

847
01:12:41.680 --> 01:12:51.000
job there and our only source of leads was a

848
01:12:51.119 --> 01:12:56.720
Yellow Pages that was it, but from all over the country,

849
01:12:56.800 --> 01:13:00.439
so we dealt with the whole country, not just locally.

850
01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:02.800
In fact, we didn't deal real We did a little

851
01:13:02.800 --> 01:13:05.399
bit of local stuff in London, but it was the

852
01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:10.640
whole country. And I ended up doing Manchester or part

853
01:13:10.720 --> 01:13:13.600
of Manchester. I'm sure there was like there was different

854
01:13:14.199 --> 01:13:17.680
Manchester is quite a large area, so there was different

855
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:25.880
different areas north, northeast, northwest or whatever, south, southeast, east, east, east,

856
01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:34.000
And yeah, I did, I did, I did. I didn't.

857
01:13:34.960 --> 01:13:46.119
It was all right, but I didn't enjoy it, ihll honest,

858
01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:50.000
And this is a break I had between doing security.

859
01:13:50.479 --> 01:13:58.199
So I did security, and I yeah, they sacked me

860
01:13:59.319 --> 01:14:04.760
because of it got blocked, and I found it so

861
01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:08.439
ridiculous that they were blaming me for a toilet I

862
01:14:08.439 --> 01:14:11.560
blocked toilet, not just that but the fact that they were.

863
01:14:12.840 --> 01:14:21.079
They suspended me, so I wasn't getting paid for the

864
01:14:21.119 --> 01:14:23.079
rest of the week. And then so this is like

865
01:14:23.840 --> 01:14:27.199
maybe it was a Tuesday, the toilet was blocked, They

866
01:14:27.279 --> 01:14:31.960
sent me home, suspended me until the following Monday when

867
01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:37.239
I went into the office for a disciplinary and I

868
01:14:37.279 --> 01:14:39.159
don't know if they were going to sack me or not,

869
01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:44.439
but I just laughed at them. I said, you're ridiculous,

870
01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:50.119
Absolutely ridiculous. I said, why would why would I block

871
01:14:50.119 --> 01:14:53.479
a toilet up and not do anything? I mean, I'm

872
01:14:53.479 --> 01:14:56.399
an adult. I don't I said, someone's clearly done that

873
01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:01.800
after I've left. It's ridiculous to block not on me. Besides,

874
01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:05.039
I can't leave the reception once it gets because once

875
01:15:05.079 --> 01:15:09.800
I open the doors, so I'm there all night in

876
01:15:09.880 --> 01:15:12.359
this place. It was a it was a what was

877
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:16.760
it called. It was a printing firm, not printed, but

878
01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:20.800
it was a like they printed magazines and newspapers and stuff.

879
01:15:20.840 --> 01:15:26.760
It was quite a Oh, I forget his name now, Henderson,

880
01:15:26.880 --> 01:15:35.600
not Henderson. He I think he did Kerrang to this

881
01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:37.920
this company. They did korrang.

882
01:15:37.840 --> 01:15:39.880
And like.

883
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:49.239
Heavy metal magazines, really big famous magazines, and I think

884
01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:54.239
also computer magazines as well. And maybe they went and

885
01:15:54.279 --> 01:15:59.239
did some of the like i've like loaded and things

886
01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:02.199
like that. I'm not sure or later on, but they did.

887
01:16:02.239 --> 01:16:02.399
You know.

888
01:16:02.399 --> 01:16:04.439
I got really well with the people at work there,

889
01:16:05.159 --> 01:16:07.319
some of the people that were like late at night,

890
01:16:08.199 --> 01:16:11.399
I kin'd of just chat with them and stuff, because

891
01:16:11.439 --> 01:16:13.640
I'd start my shift at I think half three in

892
01:16:13.680 --> 01:16:22.000
the afternoon until I think it was half eight in

893
01:16:22.039 --> 01:16:27.279
the morning, so it was a half three, four or five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

894
01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:32.079
No wait a minute, half three four or five or

895
01:16:32.119 --> 01:16:37.520
six or seven one off two or three or four

896
01:16:37.600 --> 01:16:40.840
or five or six or seven hour. No, it wouldn't

897
01:16:40.840 --> 01:16:47.560
be that long with it half three till maybe half four.

898
01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:52.239
It was about fifteen hours anyway, I was doing about

899
01:16:52.279 --> 01:16:56.960
fifteen hours shifts. So half four, half five, half four,

900
01:16:57.079 --> 01:17:00.800
then half four again as twelve, or was half four

901
01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:05.720
till half three, twelve, half five, half six, seven eight

902
01:17:05.720 --> 01:17:08.520
after nine enough ten, half eleven, enough twelve, half one,

903
01:17:08.640 --> 01:17:14.800
half two, half eleven and half two, half three, half four,

904
01:17:15.640 --> 01:17:18.439
half five, half six, half seven. Yeah, so I think

905
01:17:18.439 --> 01:17:24.560
it was half four to half seven, and unless it

906
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:27.319
was sixteen hours. But sixteen hours seems a bit long,

907
01:17:27.359 --> 01:17:29.840
doesn't it. I think fifteen hours is what I did

908
01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:33.720
because sixteen hours seems a little bit. It's not enough

909
01:17:33.800 --> 01:17:36.760
really to get enough sleep, is it. So I'd do

910
01:17:36.920 --> 01:17:48.880
fifteen hours, five days a week, I think, and between

911
01:17:49.840 --> 01:17:53.000
I was loud on it. Between four point thirty and

912
01:17:54.960 --> 01:18:02.119
when the doors were locked, I really didn't leave the reception.

913
01:18:02.880 --> 01:18:07.159
I couldn't leave the reception, so when the front door

914
01:18:07.199 --> 01:18:10.000
was opened, I had to be in the reception. I

915
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:13.439
was security for the building. When the doors, the front

916
01:18:13.479 --> 01:18:17.199
doors were locked, then I could do patrols and do

917
01:18:17.279 --> 01:18:32.039
whatever I want. Really so yeah, so I in the morning,

918
01:18:32.279 --> 01:18:35.560
I would open the doors at about six in the morning,

919
01:18:36.960 --> 01:18:40.560
and I was there till seven point thirty. I couldn't

920
01:18:40.640 --> 01:18:47.600
leave the reception from six to seven thirty until the

921
01:18:47.640 --> 01:18:54.880
receptions came on and took over. So that was me.

922
01:18:55.000 --> 01:18:57.680
Or maybe it's eight thirty, there's something like that. Maybe

923
01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:01.560
it's half four till eight thirty. So I wasn't allowed

924
01:19:01.600 --> 01:19:06.680
to leave the reception until the receptionist was on and

925
01:19:06.720 --> 01:19:11.560
then I'd go home. So and I didn't use a

926
01:19:11.640 --> 01:19:18.840
toilet before going home. So how did I block that toilet?

927
01:19:20.640 --> 01:19:23.239
Because I can't use a toilet while the cleaners are in,

928
01:19:23.560 --> 01:19:25.600
because they're in. Once they're in, the front doors are

929
01:19:25.640 --> 01:19:28.960
open because the staff used to come in early hours,

930
01:19:29.399 --> 01:19:32.680
so six o'clock doors were open, the staff could come in,

931
01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:36.039
the cleaners would come in, and then they'd get deliveries.

932
01:19:37.880 --> 01:19:41.520
The machines would get filled in, you know, like because

933
01:19:42.600 --> 01:19:45.359
in London, because this is in the West End, a

934
01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:47.760
lot of deliveries had done very early because it's hard

935
01:19:47.800 --> 01:19:55.039
to park anywhere during the day and to get around.

936
01:19:56.000 --> 01:19:57.960
And some of the staff would be in really early

937
01:19:58.000 --> 01:19:59.960
as well. Some of them be there late at night

938
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:01.960
as well, you know, the un till ten o'clock at

939
01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:04.279
night some of them, and some would get in at

940
01:20:04.319 --> 01:20:11.680
six in the morning or half six seven. So I

941
01:20:11.720 --> 01:20:14.199
wasn't allowed to leave the reception, So if I did

942
01:20:14.199 --> 01:20:17.279
go to the toilet, it had to be before the

943
01:20:17.359 --> 01:20:25.000
reception opened, before the cleaners got there. Now, I always

944
01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:31.000
did a patrol of the building. My last patrol is

945
01:20:31.039 --> 01:20:34.319
just a go around, make sure everything's fine. I always

946
01:20:34.399 --> 01:20:38.079
check the toilets. It wasn't really for floods. I just

947
01:20:38.159 --> 01:20:41.920
like looking at toilets, and so I went around and

948
01:20:41.920 --> 01:20:43.880
there was like toilets on each floor. I think there's

949
01:20:43.960 --> 01:20:53.520
four floors. Everything was fine, and I'm at home and

950
01:20:53.560 --> 01:20:57.560
I get a phone call. Yeah, I get a phone call.

951
01:20:57.600 --> 01:20:59.159
So I wasn't setting home so much. But I did

952
01:20:59.159 --> 01:21:06.439
get a phone call at home saying, don't you can't

953
01:21:06.439 --> 01:21:09.439
go in there anymore because you because the toilet was flooded.

954
01:21:12.920 --> 01:21:14.960
I don't. I'm not even sure if they told me why.

955
01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:17.239
They just said you can't go in anymore. You've been

956
01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:24.640
you've been suspended from the building. And yeah, I think

957
01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:26.560
it was when I got there on Mondays. This was

958
01:21:26.560 --> 01:21:31.840
a Tuesday evening, or maybe the Monday, the Wednesday morning

959
01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:36.520
they might have phone me. I was probably asleep. And

960
01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:39.720
then the following Monday they told me it's because I

961
01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:43.760
had blocked the toilet apparently, and it upset one of

962
01:21:43.840 --> 01:21:49.159
the the cleaners and it had leaked and water had

963
01:21:49.159 --> 01:21:54.359
gone everywhere. Uh, I've blocked a lot of toilets in

964
01:21:54.399 --> 01:22:01.680
the past. I'll be honest with you. It's never overrun.

965
01:22:02.920 --> 01:22:06.640
Toilets are built to not overrun that you know, the

966
01:22:06.680 --> 01:22:08.680
water goes to a certain level, it doesn't go over

967
01:22:09.840 --> 01:22:16.000
I've never had a toilet overflow ever. So and I've

968
01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:19.479
blocked a lot. I have blocked a lot of toilets

969
01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:23.560
over the years, just like standard. I'm sure everyone has.

970
01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:28.079
It used to be a hobby, but on this occasion,

971
01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:32.000
it wasn't me. Maybe I'm maybe I'm just getting punished

972
01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:36.399
for previous blockages. But they're making out that the water

973
01:22:36.479 --> 01:22:44.159
overflowed and completely when everywhere, Like how that doesn't even

974
01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:52.920
make sense. But anyway, I always blamed for that. And

975
01:22:52.960 --> 01:22:54.720
so when I went in there and they told me,

976
01:22:56.920 --> 01:23:02.680
I laughed. Now, one of the managers, Well, there was

977
01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:07.279
two owners of the business, one like me, and he

978
01:23:07.439 --> 01:23:13.760
was he was more active in the security company, so

979
01:23:13.800 --> 01:23:16.800
he'd he'd go around and he'd do a lot more

980
01:23:16.880 --> 01:23:20.680
like dealing with the security guards, and the other bloke

981
01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:23.119
would be in the office. So I think they were

982
01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:27.000
both equal partners, both ex police or something. But one

983
01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:31.039
of them was more in the background. We didn't really

984
01:23:31.039 --> 01:23:36.079
get to see him. Apart from the disciplinaries, I'd already

985
01:23:36.119 --> 01:23:45.640
had two previous disciplinaries, again both not my fault, so

986
01:23:45.840 --> 01:23:47.840
there and it.

987
01:23:47.760 --> 01:23:58.920
Was it two disciplinaries, two disciplinaries.

988
01:24:00.199 --> 01:24:05.079
All the three, not only discipline. The first discipline I

989
01:24:05.159 --> 01:24:11.840
had was I was accused of drinking at work, and

990
01:24:12.119 --> 01:24:15.600
at that time I didn't drink. I just didn't drink.

991
01:24:16.399 --> 01:24:19.279
And apparently this is when I was working in the

992
01:24:19.359 --> 01:24:25.439
nurses home. Someone said that they saw me with a flask. Yeah,

993
01:24:25.520 --> 01:24:28.199
I had a flask. It had a protein drink, like

994
01:24:28.239 --> 01:24:31.439
a protein shake in it. So I'd go into the

995
01:24:31.479 --> 01:24:34.680
gym every day and I was drinking a protein drink.

996
01:24:34.760 --> 01:24:37.880
I was eating every two hours, you know. I was

997
01:24:37.920 --> 01:24:40.840
trying to put a little bit of muscle on and

998
01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:45.960
she's like, someone must have thought I was drinking alcohol.

999
01:24:46.680 --> 01:24:53.920
And what's weird though, is because the the well, I

1000
01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:56.399
forget what they call him now, but a security guard

1001
01:24:56.439 --> 01:24:59.880
would come around and check everyone because I was doing

1002
01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:05.079
shift and they'd come along and I remember that there's

1003
01:25:05.159 --> 01:25:06.960
two different ones, as a lady and as a bloke,

1004
01:25:07.359 --> 01:25:09.359
and they both used to like sitting and chatting with me.

1005
01:25:10.079 --> 01:25:14.520
And both of them smelled the flask because they career

1006
01:25:14.600 --> 01:25:16.399
with what's in there. And I said, it's protein drink.

1007
01:25:16.640 --> 01:25:20.760
That's something if you want. I said, I have. I

1008
01:25:20.840 --> 01:25:23.680
have gobbed in it, but you can have some and

1009
01:25:23.720 --> 01:25:28.560
I said no, but it's like it was a protein

1010
01:25:28.680 --> 01:25:31.439
drink and they could smell there's no alcohol in it.

1011
01:25:33.279 --> 01:25:36.239
It's just saying, weird, why someone I don't know if

1012
01:25:36.279 --> 01:25:39.520
it was, I don't know the reason behind it. But

1013
01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:41.720
again I laughed during that one. I said, I don't

1014
01:25:41.800 --> 01:25:44.920
drink alcohol. You asked me that in the when the

1015
01:25:45.439 --> 01:25:49.039
had gave me the interview. I don't drink alcohol. I

1016
01:25:49.119 --> 01:25:51.640
just don't. And also I don't go out because I'm

1017
01:25:51.680 --> 01:25:56.199
working every night. You know, I was getting one night

1018
01:25:56.239 --> 01:26:00.159
off a week at that point. That's when I was

1019
01:26:00.199 --> 01:26:02.880
lucky if I didn't have to cover someone's shift. So

1020
01:26:02.880 --> 01:26:06.640
I'm getting like one night off a week. If I

1021
01:26:06.680 --> 01:26:08.960
did go out, I might have a drink, but generally,

1022
01:26:09.920 --> 01:26:12.680
you know, I didn't didn't drink alcohol. I definitely wouldn't

1023
01:26:12.760 --> 01:26:19.079
drink alcoholic work. People would know, trust me, if I

1024
01:26:19.159 --> 01:26:22.399
was drinking il cahol at work, everybody would know it.

1025
01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:27.520
I'm not. Yeah, I can't hide it when I'm drinking.

1026
01:26:28.239 --> 01:26:30.520
If I'm drunk, the whole world's going to know about it.

1027
01:26:32.359 --> 01:26:35.640
So I laughed that off, and they kind of just said, oh,

1028
01:26:35.800 --> 01:26:40.119
fair enough, because that's, you know, the one that was

1029
01:26:40.199 --> 01:26:43.399
very active with us, or he'd see me enough and

1030
01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:45.800
he believed me. So that was cool. So I got.

1031
01:26:45.840 --> 01:26:59.520
I went back and then I got I got accused

1032
01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:03.600
of something else there as well. I can't remember what

1033
01:27:03.640 --> 01:27:14.000
it was or did I just leave? Did I did

1034
01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:17.880
they move me? They moved me from there. I'm sure

1035
01:27:17.960 --> 01:27:24.680
there was another reason I got. I got a disciplinary,

1036
01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:27.239
So I got. There's two that I remember. One was

1037
01:27:27.279 --> 01:27:30.600
because of the when I blocked the toilet and when

1038
01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:33.279
I was accused of blocking the toilet, sorry, any other

1039
01:27:33.319 --> 01:27:35.399
one was when I was drinking. I mean when I

1040
01:27:35.439 --> 01:27:39.199
was accused of drinking. Sure there was another one. There

1041
01:27:39.279 --> 01:27:43.640
was a third in the middle or second, but before

1042
01:27:43.680 --> 01:27:52.199
the third it was well, anyway, I got sacked, so

1043
01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:55.640
that one with a toilet. They sacked me because I

1044
01:27:55.680 --> 01:27:58.760
was laughing in the interview in the disciplinary I said,

1045
01:27:58.760 --> 01:28:02.640
this is pathetic, This is really really ridiculous. I said,

1046
01:28:02.680 --> 01:28:06.119
after all the dodgy things I've done while I've worked

1047
01:28:06.159 --> 01:28:09.880
for you that you don't know about, and this one thing,

1048
01:28:10.159 --> 01:28:12.680
which the all things I have done, and the one

1049
01:28:12.720 --> 01:28:16.840
thing I didn't do, I'm getting blamed for. And they said, well,

1050
01:28:16.840 --> 01:28:18.439
we just need to have a little chat together, and

1051
01:28:18.479 --> 01:28:24.039
they went out and they came back and said, yeah,

1052
01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:30.680
see you later, and they sacked me. What was the

1053
01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:33.720
other thing I did or not did, but that I

1054
01:28:33.760 --> 01:28:43.560
got accused of. Wasn't it stealing? But anyway, I was

1055
01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:46.840
doing this. I remembered that when I was started talking

1056
01:28:46.840 --> 01:28:48.319
about this, and then it kind of went out of

1057
01:28:48.359 --> 01:28:54.560
me head. I'm sure I had three disciplinaries. I'm so

1058
01:28:54.680 --> 01:28:57.920
proud of it. And I I was disciplined three times.

1059
01:28:58.000 --> 01:29:06.880
I got suspended three times. I got suspended at least twice.

1060
01:29:07.159 --> 01:29:08.960
Surely there was a third one. What would that be

1061
01:29:09.039 --> 01:29:16.359
about did I get accused of something else? Because I

1062
01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:22.359
definitely got mood from the nurses home for a reason.

1063
01:29:22.439 --> 01:29:31.319
I can't remember what that reason was. How strange, HM.

1064
01:29:32.479 --> 01:29:37.239
So I ended up working in the printer's Dennis Dennis

1065
01:29:37.279 --> 01:29:49.359
Printers or something that was called and or Dennis Publishing Publishers. Yeah,

1066
01:29:49.680 --> 01:29:52.800
so I worked there. So I got sacked. I got

1067
01:29:52.840 --> 01:29:58.279
suspended in sacked, went and worked at this sales job

1068
01:29:58.720 --> 01:30:04.880
trying to sell till roll and then after two weeks

1069
01:30:04.880 --> 01:30:08.479
of that, I found up the security company and said, oh, please,

1070
01:30:08.479 --> 01:30:17.159
can I come back? Sorry, sorry for laughing, and they said, yeah,

1071
01:30:17.399 --> 01:30:19.319
come back, because that's what I was looking for people,

1072
01:30:19.359 --> 01:30:21.840
I said. They said, we've got a new site for you,

1073
01:30:23.159 --> 01:30:27.680
and they started putting me on the grottiest sites ever. Honestly,

1074
01:30:28.239 --> 01:30:30.520
they moved me around a lot, put me on some

1075
01:30:30.760 --> 01:30:40.920
really really bad sites, and oh did I get suspended

1076
01:30:40.920 --> 01:30:43.800
off one of those for drinking. I wasn't drinking though,

1077
01:30:43.840 --> 01:30:51.039
but I was with another another guard who was drinking

1078
01:30:51.800 --> 01:30:55.079
and he got through about I don't know, eight cans

1079
01:30:55.079 --> 01:30:58.920
of Lago during the night, but instead of instead of

1080
01:30:58.960 --> 01:31:02.600
putting them like hiding the cans, he just put him

1081
01:31:02.640 --> 01:31:08.039
in the waste waste paper basket in the office, and

1082
01:31:08.079 --> 01:31:16.520
the manager, who was a fiery fella, got very angry,

1083
01:31:18.840 --> 01:31:22.359
but as I said, wasn't me. And they knew the

1084
01:31:22.399 --> 01:31:24.239
other bloke and they knew what he was around, and

1085
01:31:24.279 --> 01:31:31.560
I think they suspended him and told the man, the

1086
01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:34.640
manager of that place, that they had sacked him, but

1087
01:31:34.680 --> 01:31:38.039
they didn't. They just moved him to a different site.

1088
01:31:38.239 --> 01:31:46.000
And then one day and this was a former psychiatric hospital.

1089
01:31:48.239 --> 01:31:50.479
It was according asylum back then, but it was one

1090
01:31:50.479 --> 01:31:54.520
of them places. Was one of the biggest hospitals in Europe,

1091
01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:57.439
one of the longest hospitals in Europe, and it was

1092
01:31:57.439 --> 01:32:01.199
in North London, massive bit of waste ground, well that's

1093
01:32:01.239 --> 01:32:03.760
a bit of ground, and there was houses where some

1094
01:32:03.840 --> 01:32:06.119
of the patients used to live, where some of the

1095
01:32:06.199 --> 01:32:09.399
doctors and nurses used to live. And my job was

1096
01:32:09.520 --> 01:32:13.560
just to parole this whole patrol rather not parole patrol

1097
01:32:13.640 --> 01:32:20.000
this whole area. And I could not stand being in

1098
01:32:20.039 --> 01:32:23.439
the same room as this bloke who was in charge,

1099
01:32:23.439 --> 01:32:26.319
because all he did was moan. But it was a

1100
01:32:26.399 --> 01:32:33.960
shelter just like yeah, yeah, yeah, just about everything. So

1101
01:32:34.039 --> 01:32:37.720
in the end I just decided to do the patrol.

1102
01:32:39.560 --> 01:32:43.279
But just not go back to the office. I had

1103
01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:46.000
my radio on me and I phoned in every time

1104
01:32:46.560 --> 01:32:48.000
to let him know where I was, because you have

1105
01:32:48.079 --> 01:32:50.960
to phone in every hour or you know, patrol every

1106
01:32:51.079 --> 01:32:52.720
to let him know where I was and stuff. So

1107
01:32:53.039 --> 01:32:54.920
I was doing everything on my side that I was

1108
01:32:54.920 --> 01:32:58.399
supposed to do. But this manager, you know, when I

1109
01:32:58.520 --> 01:33:04.319
turned up perhaps six hours later, he accused me of

1110
01:33:04.439 --> 01:33:08.600
leaving the site. He said, you've gone home. You went

1111
01:33:08.600 --> 01:33:11.479
IHM and came back. Well, first of all, I didn't

1112
01:33:11.479 --> 01:33:13.319
go home because it take me two hours to get there.

1113
01:33:13.960 --> 01:33:15.920
So no, I didn't go home and come back. What's

1114
01:33:15.960 --> 01:33:19.479
the point. We'll go home, sit down for five minutes,

1115
01:33:19.479 --> 01:33:22.720
then come back, you know. No, he said, I don't

1116
01:33:22.720 --> 01:33:25.399
know where you live. I said, I told you I

1117
01:33:25.479 --> 01:33:35.840
live in. Where did I live? Upton Park at the time. Yeah. Up. See.

1118
01:33:35.880 --> 01:33:40.560
I got sacked from there because apparently I thought I

1119
01:33:40.600 --> 01:33:43.239
went off site and I didn't. I stayed. I just

1120
01:33:43.840 --> 01:33:48.239
I did my patrol over and over again, and I

1121
01:33:48.359 --> 01:33:50.920
phoned in, you know, I called in my walkie talkie

1122
01:33:50.920 --> 01:33:53.960
and I've called in every hour. I did everything by

1123
01:33:54.000 --> 01:33:59.239
the book, but he decided that I hadn't, so he

1124
01:33:59.399 --> 01:34:03.600
sacked me. Or he reported me and they told him

1125
01:34:03.600 --> 01:34:05.720
that they'd sacked me, and they just moved me to

1126
01:34:05.760 --> 01:34:13.399
a different site. And then I ended up on the

1127
01:34:13.479 --> 01:34:16.239
Royal Opera House, the new rural opera house that was

1128
01:34:16.279 --> 01:34:23.079
being built back in nineteen ninety seven. So I was there.

1129
01:34:23.159 --> 01:34:30.479
I was a security there and I'd be backing in

1130
01:34:30.680 --> 01:34:34.399
lorries and stopping traffic and stuff like that because they

1131
01:34:34.479 --> 01:34:40.199
had non stop concrete lorries coming and going, and I'd

1132
01:34:40.239 --> 01:34:45.880
be stopping people and opening barriers for cars that had

1133
01:34:45.920 --> 01:34:52.079
businesses in that little area. Yeah it was I didn't mind.

1134
01:34:52.119 --> 01:34:59.479
It wasn't it wasn't a bad little job. And yeah,

1135
01:34:59.479 --> 01:35:01.520
it was all right. Actually got on quite well with

1136
01:35:01.520 --> 01:35:05.920
the builders and the people involved. There was a couple

1137
01:35:05.920 --> 01:35:08.840
of annoying people, but there.

1138
01:35:09.000 --> 01:35:09.439
Was is.

1139
01:35:10.880 --> 01:35:16.760
No I was one of them. And then I got

1140
01:35:16.800 --> 01:35:19.079
sacked from that job for some reason. I can't remember

1141
01:35:19.079 --> 01:35:25.640
why that was. Oh, I just remember why I got disciplined.

1142
01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:33.399
It was a Canary wharf. Canary Wharf. I got disciplined

1143
01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:42.880
of falling asleep. Right, So I didn't fall asleep, Well

1144
01:35:43.000 --> 01:35:44.800
I did fall asleep, Okay, this is true. I did

1145
01:35:44.840 --> 01:35:50.680
fall asleep. So when I was at Canary Wharf, ninety six,

1146
01:35:52.560 --> 01:35:59.720
probably April April time ish, and my job was to

1147
01:36:00.000 --> 01:36:03.239
who just basically check people as they were coming in

1148
01:36:03.439 --> 01:36:08.560
to the floors that I was protecting. So I protected,

1149
01:36:08.600 --> 01:36:15.319
I was securing. So there is probably about twelve of us,

1150
01:36:17.439 --> 01:36:19.840
maybe a little bit more that would and we had

1151
01:36:19.880 --> 01:36:24.960
to think four floors, two or four or five floors

1152
01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:29.079
that it was part of the Mirror group newspaper group,

1153
01:36:30.079 --> 01:36:34.560
so I had to Racing Times and Sunday Mirror, Daily Mirror,

1154
01:36:35.439 --> 01:36:39.800
and possibly some other stuff. So we were kind of

1155
01:36:39.840 --> 01:36:42.920
securing that. So there'd be two of us, sometimes just

1156
01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:49.319
one on the main doors. So have to check people's passes,

1157
01:36:50.039 --> 01:36:54.199
have to check their purses, their handbags, their bags. Because

1158
01:36:54.199 --> 01:36:59.600
this was directly after a very serious incident that had happened.

1159
01:37:00.039 --> 01:37:02.560
Why I got the job because I were taking on

1160
01:37:02.680 --> 01:37:06.079
new staff because originally I applied for the job and

1161
01:37:06.159 --> 01:37:09.159
he laughed at me and said, no, no, you're right,

1162
01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:13.960
we don't need thanks. We're not that desperate. And then

1163
01:37:14.000 --> 01:37:16.960
they called up a week later after this major event

1164
01:37:17.039 --> 01:37:19.319
happened and they said, yeah, we are. We're quite desperate

1165
01:37:19.359 --> 01:37:24.279
now we are. Yeah, we're desperate enough to employ you.

1166
01:37:24.960 --> 01:37:28.800
I said, oh, that's nice, and so I got that job.

1167
01:37:29.680 --> 01:37:33.560
Now I've got on really well with one of the owners,

1168
01:37:33.640 --> 01:37:37.239
the one that was around a lot, and I think

1169
01:37:37.279 --> 01:37:39.399
that's why I got away with so much stuff, because

1170
01:37:39.680 --> 01:37:42.079
I made him laugh and we had a laugh. And

1171
01:37:43.159 --> 01:37:45.239
even though I ended up getting sacked, he's still I

1172
01:37:45.319 --> 01:37:47.439
don't think he wanted to sack me. And he's the

1173
01:37:47.479 --> 01:37:52.640
one that gave me a job back. He came up

1174
01:37:52.680 --> 01:37:57.840
to me one night after I'd done twelve hours. It

1175
01:37:57.920 --> 01:38:01.439
was time for me to go home, and he said,

1176
01:38:02.279 --> 01:38:06.000
here year year, do some fear of a warncher. I said,

1177
01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:09.279
not again. I told you I've got a girlfriend. He said, no, no,

1178
01:38:09.319 --> 01:38:12.319
not that, and he said can you He wanted me

1179
01:38:12.359 --> 01:38:16.279
to stay for another twelve hours. See if you get

1180
01:38:16.319 --> 01:38:18.800
any normal job and they say can you do some overtime,

1181
01:38:19.479 --> 01:38:21.920
it's usually like an hour or so, maybe two hours.

1182
01:38:22.960 --> 01:38:28.680
This job in security is another twelve hours, please. I said,

1183
01:38:28.680 --> 01:38:32.399
that's twenty four hours. He said I can count. I said,

1184
01:38:32.439 --> 01:38:35.359
I know, but I can't do twelve hours. I can't

1185
01:38:35.359 --> 01:38:41.600
do another twelve hours. I started at six this morning

1186
01:38:44.279 --> 01:38:47.439
or was it seven, eight of m I've been eight

1187
01:38:47.479 --> 01:38:50.319
in the morning, but I've been up since, you know,

1188
01:38:50.319 --> 01:38:52.479
I've been up two hours before I started my job,

1189
01:38:52.880 --> 01:38:56.399
so to getting up and then traveling. So I've been

1190
01:38:56.479 --> 01:39:00.399
up for a long time and he said, oh, go

1191
01:39:00.439 --> 01:39:07.640
on please. So my job was to go downstairs and

1192
01:39:07.720 --> 01:39:15.319
look after the main This was the big boss's office area,

1193
01:39:16.359 --> 01:39:20.319
the big Boss of the Mirror Group, who at the

1194
01:39:20.359 --> 01:39:23.920
time was Kelvin McKenzie. He was also editor of The

1195
01:39:23.960 --> 01:39:27.760
Son as well. Before that, I think I saw a

1196
01:39:27.800 --> 01:39:31.720
few times very very booming voice, not hugely tall, but

1197
01:39:31.840 --> 01:39:38.199
very booming voice, big bloke. And I was the reception

1198
01:39:38.560 --> 01:39:41.960
and his office was further up, so anyone that came

1199
01:39:42.000 --> 01:39:47.399
to visit him had to come to where I was. Now,

1200
01:39:47.640 --> 01:39:50.399
no one was going to ask for him because he

1201
01:39:50.560 --> 01:39:54.039
was gone. There was no one in his office at

1202
01:39:54.039 --> 01:39:56.680
that time. There was also another office where someone did

1203
01:39:56.720 --> 01:39:59.800
come for the and then I left, probably his assistant

1204
01:40:00.079 --> 01:40:05.600
something so or maybe he did come for a little while.

1205
01:40:05.640 --> 01:40:10.520
But after eight o'clock nine o'clock there was nothing, no activity.

1206
01:40:11.079 --> 01:40:15.960
So I was there on my own, nothing to do

1207
01:40:17.279 --> 01:40:22.920
at all. So I said to my boss before accepting

1208
01:40:22.960 --> 01:40:25.520
to do it. Well, first time, I said no, I

1209
01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:29.920
said go on please. I said no, I said no,

1210
01:40:30.039 --> 01:40:32.720
I can't do another twelve hours. He said, I'll be

1211
01:40:32.760 --> 01:40:39.439
a best friend. And I was going to say no,

1212
01:40:39.479 --> 01:40:41.960
but then he started tickling me, and I just it's

1213
01:40:41.960 --> 01:40:45.399
hard to resist, isn't it. And I said, okay, but

1214
01:40:45.680 --> 01:40:47.520
I just got to warn you I will fall asleep.

1215
01:40:47.560 --> 01:40:51.640
And he said, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just whatever.

1216
01:40:52.439 --> 01:40:54.760
I just need this to be covered. It's so important

1217
01:40:54.800 --> 01:40:57.520
because of that area being no one's going to be

1218
01:40:57.560 --> 01:41:00.840
down there, no one, you know, the big he's gone,

1219
01:41:01.239 --> 01:41:03.680
he's gone, he won't be back till tomorrow morning. You'll

1220
01:41:03.680 --> 01:41:10.319
be gone before he gets in. And even said, I'll

1221
01:41:10.359 --> 01:41:12.239
try and get the other security guards come in a

1222
01:41:12.279 --> 01:41:14.239
little bit early so you can get off a little

1223
01:41:14.279 --> 01:41:20.760
bit earlier. And I said, okay then, and I sat down.

1224
01:41:22.399 --> 01:41:25.760
It's a nice little gig. Actually it was comfortable, no

1225
01:41:25.840 --> 01:41:32.920
one else around, really comfortable. Like it's like that's probably

1226
01:41:32.920 --> 01:41:37.520
the nicest little area in those all of those floors,

1227
01:41:39.399 --> 01:41:41.159
because there was a bosses area, I guess. So he

1228
01:41:41.199 --> 01:41:45.399
had a nice, really big, spacious and there was a

1229
01:41:45.399 --> 01:41:49.680
book there called there was like a crime book that

1230
01:41:49.720 --> 01:41:53.479
I started to read and I read a lot of it.

1231
01:41:56.439 --> 01:42:01.399
So I'm reading this book and then and as I'm reading,

1232
01:42:01.479 --> 01:42:07.199
I hear this voice saying Jason, Jason, Like. I look

1233
01:42:07.279 --> 01:42:16.239
up and it's my boss, like the security boss. He said,

1234
01:42:16.279 --> 01:42:20.279
you're asleep, So no, I wasn't. I was reading a book.

1235
01:42:21.720 --> 01:42:26.359
He said, you're literally in a hammock with your pajamas on.

1236
01:42:26.600 --> 01:42:29.399
What would we And I said, I told you that

1237
01:42:29.439 --> 01:42:32.279
I would fall asleep. I didn't realize I'd fallen asleep.

1238
01:42:33.239 --> 01:42:37.439
But I said, look, I've done twelve hours, doing twenty

1239
01:42:37.479 --> 01:42:42.199
four hours without falling asleep. Is it's a ridiculous ask?

1240
01:42:44.239 --> 01:42:49.359
And he said, got to go home. I said really.

1241
01:42:49.920 --> 01:42:52.840
He said, yeah, I'll take over and I'll sit here.

1242
01:42:53.039 --> 01:42:58.600
You've got to leave. You're suspended. And I said to him,

1243
01:42:59.079 --> 01:43:00.840
I think I might have called it the name. I said,

1244
01:43:00.920 --> 01:43:04.640
you are whatever. I told you I'd fall asleep and

1245
01:43:04.680 --> 01:43:06.960
you said it didn't matter. He said, you're on camera,

1246
01:43:08.319 --> 01:43:12.359
You've been filmed, You've been seen fallen asleep. How do

1247
01:43:12.359 --> 01:43:17.000
you think we knew? I literally said to you that

1248
01:43:17.239 --> 01:43:21.239
I can't do another twelve hours about falling asleep, and

1249
01:43:21.239 --> 01:43:28.119
he said, I know, but you know you're suspended. So

1250
01:43:28.199 --> 01:43:31.039
I went away. A couple of days later, I went

1251
01:43:31.039 --> 01:43:34.800
into the office in the London offices to go to

1252
01:43:34.920 --> 01:43:38.560
my disciplinary. So this would be my second disciplinary out

1253
01:43:38.560 --> 01:43:47.800
of three, and I had everything in my arsenal for

1254
01:43:47.840 --> 01:43:51.800
that one. The first one, I don't drink. They could

1255
01:43:51.800 --> 01:43:53.960
take it or leave it, whether I was being honest,

1256
01:43:54.239 --> 01:43:56.399
and it was true, I didn't drink, and it's no

1257
01:43:56.439 --> 01:44:01.199
way I would take alcohol to work with me, especially

1258
01:44:01.199 --> 01:44:03.600
when I was at a reception and it was all

1259
01:44:03.640 --> 01:44:07.199
glasses and loads of people coming and go in. They

1260
01:44:07.239 --> 01:44:11.399
could you know, it just seemed just wasn't what I

1261
01:44:11.439 --> 01:44:13.920
was going to do. And I really wasn't a drinker

1262
01:44:14.359 --> 01:44:17.079
at all. I'd go out and if I did have

1263
01:44:17.119 --> 01:44:19.199
a drink when I went out, it'd be like one

1264
01:44:19.279 --> 01:44:24.039
bottle of lager would last me the whole night. I'd

1265
01:44:24.079 --> 01:44:25.880
more than likely just have a glass of coke or

1266
01:44:25.920 --> 01:44:28.560
a couple of glasses of coke. Just wasn't my thing

1267
01:44:28.760 --> 01:44:34.399
back then. The year before Wow, I was putting it away.

1268
01:44:34.439 --> 01:44:39.199
But that year I just took a break. And so

1269
01:44:39.279 --> 01:44:41.960
the first one, it was like could have gone either way,

1270
01:44:42.960 --> 01:44:45.800
believe me or don't believe me. And because they both

1271
01:44:46.079 --> 01:44:48.720
one of them liked me, the other one gave me

1272
01:44:48.720 --> 01:44:52.159
the benefit of the doubt. So they they moved me

1273
01:44:52.239 --> 01:44:54.640
to a different place. No did they move me. I

1274
01:44:54.640 --> 01:44:57.159
think they kept me there, and then I got moved

1275
01:44:57.199 --> 01:45:00.119
again for some other Someone accused me of something, so

1276
01:45:00.159 --> 01:45:05.600
I don't know. I can't remember what that was. And

1277
01:45:05.800 --> 01:45:11.319
the second, the second disciplinary, unlike the third one third one,

1278
01:45:11.439 --> 01:45:15.000
I was laughing and I got sacked. But the second

1279
01:45:15.039 --> 01:45:19.520
one I went in there and I was not not

1280
01:45:19.640 --> 01:45:21.560
because I knew the reason I was in there for

1281
01:45:25.800 --> 01:45:27.920
the first and the first and third time. I don't

1282
01:45:27.920 --> 01:45:30.359
think I knew until I got into the disciplinary why

1283
01:45:30.359 --> 01:45:34.760
I had been suspended. But the second time I knew

1284
01:45:34.760 --> 01:45:37.079
because it had already told me he needed to go

1285
01:45:37.159 --> 01:45:40.199
home because we found you asleep. So I turned up there.

1286
01:45:40.239 --> 01:45:43.880
I was r I was proper like.

1287
01:45:46.000 --> 01:45:46.239
I think.

1288
01:45:46.319 --> 01:45:50.640
First thing I said is you're out of order to

1289
01:45:51.199 --> 01:45:53.520
the bloke that was supposed to be my mate, what

1290
01:45:53.680 --> 01:45:56.079
my friend kind of was a boss, But I said,

1291
01:45:56.079 --> 01:45:59.359
you're out of order. You know you are, and the

1292
01:45:59.439 --> 01:46:04.000
other managed the other boss said what's going on? And

1293
01:46:06.560 --> 01:46:10.359
the one that I knew started to talk and his

1294
01:46:10.520 --> 01:46:12.039
partner said, no, wait, manut, I want to hear it

1295
01:46:12.039 --> 01:46:16.960
from Jason, mister Newland. So I told him. I said,

1296
01:46:17.000 --> 01:46:21.159
he asked me to stay twelve hours after just done

1297
01:46:21.199 --> 01:46:23.039
a twelve hour shift, So you wanted me to do

1298
01:46:23.079 --> 01:46:26.319
a twenty four hour shift? I told him point blank,

1299
01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:31.000
I would fall asleep, because what else do you do

1300
01:46:31.800 --> 01:46:35.479
staying away for twenty four hours? I said I'd fall asleep,

1301
01:46:35.720 --> 01:46:38.399
and he said it's okay, it doesn't matter. Fell asleep.

1302
01:46:38.880 --> 01:46:43.359
He sent me home suspended and without pay, and ended

1303
01:46:43.439 --> 01:46:48.159
up with disciplinary. He said, is that true? And they

1304
01:46:48.199 --> 01:46:53.880
went out and they came back and apologized to me, apologized,

1305
01:46:55.600 --> 01:47:00.479
and I went back to Canary War off and I

1306
01:47:00.479 --> 01:47:05.920
went back and continued working there until they Now that

1307
01:47:06.039 --> 01:47:10.359
was my first disciplinary. The second one was the alcohol one.

1308
01:47:11.359 --> 01:47:14.800
So that was the first disciplinary. So I'm sure there

1309
01:47:14.880 --> 01:47:19.800
was another one as well. I can't remember what it was.

1310
01:47:21.039 --> 01:47:25.720
I think, I'm not sure. It's when the I think

1311
01:47:25.720 --> 01:47:28.239
it was at the weekend and a couple of vans

1312
01:47:28.239 --> 01:47:30.880
pulled up and they said they were just here to

1313
01:47:30.920 --> 01:47:33.039
collect with stuff, and they took a load of computers

1314
01:47:33.039 --> 01:47:37.359
out and apparently they weren't supposed to do that. Yeah,

1315
01:47:37.359 --> 01:47:42.760
I think I got disciplined for that as well. I

1316
01:47:42.880 --> 01:47:46.760
wasn't to know, was I. Oh, but we've been We've

1317
01:47:46.800 --> 01:47:51.359
had millions of pounds robbed worth of computers. Like, say,

1318
01:47:51.399 --> 01:47:53.479
you should have told me, should have told me that

1319
01:47:53.520 --> 01:47:56.760
you weren't having any vans come What do you mean,

1320
01:47:56.880 --> 01:47:58.880
tell you that we're not having any vans come in

1321
01:47:58.920 --> 01:48:02.479
to collect the computers. Well, if you'd done that when

1322
01:48:02.479 --> 01:48:04.960
they knocked on a window saying we come to collect

1323
01:48:04.960 --> 01:48:07.840
the computers, then I'd know that they weren't and they

1324
01:48:07.840 --> 01:48:13.760
were robbers. I'm thinking that maybe they made the excuse

1325
01:48:13.800 --> 01:48:15.640
of the toilets up just to get rid of me.

1326
01:48:18.720 --> 01:48:31.840
Maybe hmm, the proms. So I talked about the proms.

1327
01:48:32.039 --> 01:48:35.319
Cheese rolling? Did you know the cheese rolling down Cooper's

1328
01:48:35.399 --> 01:48:43.279
Hill in Glaucus, Dyeshire is a traditional summer event. Now

1329
01:48:44.840 --> 01:48:48.640
it is cheese rolling. I think the person rolls with

1330
01:48:48.760 --> 01:48:53.159
the cheese and these are not little bits of cheeses,

1331
01:48:53.199 --> 01:48:58.079
are massive, massive bits of cheese. It's very dangerous and

1332
01:48:58.119 --> 01:49:04.680
people get injured doing it. Is It's not as fun

1333
01:49:04.720 --> 01:49:11.560
as you'd imagine, unless, of course, it is coastal and

1334
01:49:11.680 --> 01:49:17.159
seaside culture. The Victorian era saw the boom of British

1335
01:49:17.279 --> 01:49:23.880
seaside holidays. What is a Victorian era is that when

1336
01:49:23.920 --> 01:49:28.319
my nan and grandad went on holiday, because it'd have

1337
01:49:28.520 --> 01:49:35.880
like handkerchiefs on their heads and stuff. Yeah, I mean

1338
01:49:35.920 --> 01:49:39.560
back then there wasn't such a thing as going abroad

1339
01:49:39.600 --> 01:49:46.319
on holiday, you know, Spain and France and stuff like that.

1340
01:49:46.880 --> 01:49:51.159
Wasn't It wasn't a flight a short flight away like

1341
01:49:51.239 --> 01:49:54.399
it is now what has been for a long time.

1342
01:49:56.920 --> 01:49:59.840
So people from London, like my nan, she used to

1343
01:49:59.880 --> 01:50:06.000
go to places like Brighton or South End on holiday.

1344
01:50:06.840 --> 01:50:09.319
Now both of those places are not far from London,

1345
01:50:10.239 --> 01:50:15.560
both in or ones in Essex. Brighton is in I

1346
01:50:15.560 --> 01:50:19.680
don't know where it is is at Hertfordshire Brighton, but

1347
01:50:19.960 --> 01:50:24.399
both places are not a long way away from London really,

1348
01:50:26.720 --> 01:50:31.399
And they said they would go to places like that,

1349
01:50:31.520 --> 01:50:35.680
maybe Harriage even I'm not sure, and that would be

1350
01:50:36.000 --> 01:50:43.840
a nice summer holiday. And apparently I'm partly making this

1351
01:50:44.000 --> 01:50:50.560
up based on a very vague memory. Sometimes I think

1352
01:50:50.600 --> 01:50:57.119
they would stay in board in houses, and they may

1353
01:50:57.199 --> 01:51:02.279
even share rooms with complete strangers, and there would be

1354
01:51:03.560 --> 01:51:07.239
a landlady, as this was kind of the cliche, a

1355
01:51:07.399 --> 01:51:14.680
very very mean landlady, and the landlady would make food

1356
01:51:15.039 --> 01:51:19.479
and give them dinner and everything, but they would have

1357
01:51:19.560 --> 01:51:22.640
to be in by a certain time in the evening

1358
01:51:23.079 --> 01:51:29.279
or the door would be locked. That's the cliche of that,

1359
01:51:30.079 --> 01:51:35.279
but I think some of it's true. Potentially, it doesn't

1360
01:51:35.319 --> 01:51:42.359
sound like particularly nice holiday, does it really. Brighton Pier

1361
01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:50.199
opened in eighteen ninety nine and became a summer hot spot. Yeah,

1362
01:51:50.239 --> 01:51:52.840
Brighton's changed over the years, but it was always a

1363
01:51:52.960 --> 01:52:03.199
very popular holiday destination. And it's last time I went

1364
01:52:03.239 --> 01:52:14.880
to Brighton. It ended up with a sore bum because, yeah,

1365
01:52:15.039 --> 01:52:18.000
I fell over and I kind of banged. I fell

1366
01:52:18.039 --> 01:52:20.359
over on my bomb and I just banged myself and

1367
01:52:20.399 --> 01:52:24.279
it's like, oh and I remember. It's just it was

1368
01:52:24.319 --> 01:52:27.520
weird because I come home. Normally, you hurt yourself, you

1369
01:52:27.560 --> 01:52:31.119
expect a little I don't expect people to say, oh no,

1370
01:52:31.279 --> 01:52:34.359
start crying. You fell over and banged your bumb all.

1371
01:52:35.119 --> 01:52:39.279
I didn't expect that, but a little bit of caring,

1372
01:52:40.000 --> 01:52:45.000
a little bit of maybe interest or sympathy. But people

1373
01:52:45.359 --> 01:52:48.039
come back to work, how is your How was your

1374
01:52:48.119 --> 01:52:51.439
holiday for your weekend in Brighton? And I said, oh,

1375
01:52:51.479 --> 01:53:03.000
I got sore bumb And people found that hilarious. I mean,

1376
01:53:03.159 --> 01:53:07.880
someone actually who I hadn't even told that i'd hurt

1377
01:53:07.960 --> 01:53:10.680
my that I had my accident. You know, the first

1378
01:53:10.720 --> 01:53:14.039
person I'm getting to work with and no one else

1379
01:53:14.079 --> 01:53:15.840
had been in work. He was the first person there

1380
01:53:15.840 --> 01:53:18.479
and I got there next this on the Monday morning,

1381
01:53:19.039 --> 01:53:22.479
and he said, how is your How is your your

1382
01:53:22.520 --> 01:53:27.039
weekend in Brighton? Have you got a saw bum? And

1383
01:53:27.079 --> 01:53:31.199
I said, yeah, how do you know? And he laughed

1384
01:53:31.199 --> 01:53:38.840
and walked off, and I'm like, that's weird. And then

1385
01:53:38.880 --> 01:53:43.319
I told everyone and they laughed that I'd fallen over,

1386
01:53:43.640 --> 01:53:47.720
like you fall on your cocksix. It's not a nice experience.

1387
01:53:48.359 --> 01:53:50.439
The first time it ever happened when I was in

1388
01:53:50.479 --> 01:53:54.000
the chip shop, I got saw bumb in there and

1389
01:53:54.960 --> 01:54:01.039
the I was carrying a bag of potatoes, which I

1390
01:54:01.079 --> 01:54:06.680
would argue is probably heavier than me, maybe not fifty

1391
01:54:07.039 --> 01:54:11.359
fifty kilos. Possibly, I don't know if it'd be fifty kilos,

1392
01:54:11.920 --> 01:54:21.359
it was heavy. Fifty kilos would have been how much

1393
01:54:21.399 --> 01:54:24.600
I weighed at the time, so maybe it was. Maybe

1394
01:54:24.640 --> 01:54:30.760
it was forty kilos, maybe thirty kilos, but it was heavy,

1395
01:54:31.520 --> 01:54:33.800
that's all I know. And I slipped over in the

1396
01:54:33.920 --> 01:54:40.159
kitchen and the bag of spuds, unopened, landed on top

1397
01:54:40.199 --> 01:54:48.079
of me, and yeah, I was struggling to walk. I mean, really,

1398
01:54:48.159 --> 01:54:51.239
I should have gone to the hospital. And got examined

1399
01:54:51.239 --> 01:54:54.239
because it would have been it took quite a few

1400
01:54:54.279 --> 01:54:59.279
weeks for that to heal. But back then I didn't

1401
01:54:59.800 --> 01:55:03.479
have to time to take off and just got on

1402
01:55:03.560 --> 01:55:11.000
with it. Really, but yeah, the last time went to Brighton. Yes,

1403
01:55:11.039 --> 01:55:17.720
it's been quite a while. Fish and chips became a

1404
01:55:17.840 --> 01:55:23.239
seaside favorite in the early twentieth century. Really, I thought

1405
01:55:23.560 --> 01:55:27.399
fish and chips, Yeah, seaside favorite. But fish and chips

1406
01:55:27.439 --> 01:55:32.680
is quite a traditional Friday meal Religiously, I do believe,

1407
01:55:32.960 --> 01:55:39.359
or at least fishes on a Friday, because I think

1408
01:55:39.399 --> 01:55:42.800
it's the Jesus powerable, isn't it. I think that's when

1409
01:55:42.840 --> 01:55:47.239
he he turned up. It was a Friday, wasn't it.

1410
01:55:48.119 --> 01:55:53.760
And he turned up, and the chip van turned up,

1411
01:55:54.640 --> 01:55:59.000
and there's loads of chips, and he said, okay, now

1412
01:55:59.000 --> 01:56:00.720
I've talked to you for a little bit. We're all here.

1413
01:56:01.760 --> 01:56:04.119
Let's go and let's get some chips out. Let's fish

1414
01:56:04.159 --> 01:56:08.479
and chips. And the fish fan said oops, and he said,

1415
01:56:08.760 --> 01:56:13.319
what is it? He said, Jesus, sorry about this? He said, okay,

1416
01:56:13.600 --> 01:56:17.600
what so I'm a bit embarrassed. We've got loads of chips,

1417
01:56:18.560 --> 01:56:23.640
but we forgot the fish. And then someone showered from

1418
01:56:23.640 --> 01:56:27.399
the back. And wait a minute, we've got one fish.

1419
01:56:27.520 --> 01:56:29.920
He said, he got one fish. All those chips but

1420
01:56:30.159 --> 01:56:34.239
one fish. And Jesus said, I just hand it here,

1421
01:56:34.479 --> 01:56:38.720
and you know the rest is history. But that was

1422
01:56:38.720 --> 01:56:41.720
on a Friday, because Fridays when fish and chips was

1423
01:56:41.760 --> 01:56:47.800
a thing back in Jerusalem that the bathing machine was

1424
01:56:47.840 --> 01:56:53.680
a common sight on the nineteenth century beaches. I feel

1425
01:56:53.720 --> 01:56:57.199
we need more information about that, don't you. The bathing

1426
01:56:57.720 --> 01:57:07.000
machine a machine that bathes you. That sounds very pleasant.

1427
01:57:08.720 --> 01:57:19.399
It sounds almost oh, the bathing machine, unless it's kind

1428
01:57:19.399 --> 01:57:22.000
of like a thing with just a shower that just

1429
01:57:22.119 --> 01:57:25.960
showers you from different angles. But even that sounds nice,

1430
01:57:26.000 --> 01:57:34.199
doesn't it if it's at a decent temperature. I've got to

1431
01:57:34.199 --> 01:57:36.479
look this up. I'm sorry, this is one of those

1432
01:57:36.479 --> 01:57:43.399
moments where I can't not look it up. Bathing machine

1433
01:57:45.039 --> 01:57:48.800
eighteen hundreds. I'm going to look up images just so

1434
01:57:48.840 --> 01:57:54.880
I can look at it. What right, it's only showing

1435
01:57:54.920 --> 01:58:01.359
you the outside of it. The bathing machine Collection of

1436
01:58:01.520 --> 01:58:11.600
Ouque Bathing Machine eighteen hundreds, Victorian bathing machine. But why

1437
01:58:11.680 --> 01:58:15.600
is it not shown inside? Maybe it was one of

1438
01:58:15.600 --> 01:58:27.000
those things. Ah, it looks to me, it was just

1439
01:58:27.359 --> 01:58:31.960
somewhere that you can jump into the water from. That

1440
01:58:32.039 --> 01:58:36.600
doesn't that doesn't sound like a bathing machine. Let's read

1441
01:58:36.640 --> 01:58:41.880
out what it says. You search the web for bathing machines,

1442
01:58:42.119 --> 01:58:49.479
says Google, being AI whatever. The victorian of bathing machine

1443
01:58:50.159 --> 01:58:57.279
was in an innovative mobile changing room designed to allow swimmers,

1444
01:58:57.920 --> 01:59:02.399
particularly women, to maintain in their modesties while bathing at

1445
01:59:02.520 --> 01:59:07.279
the seaside. Okay, so it's basically a changing room. It's

1446
01:59:07.319 --> 01:59:14.039
a changing room. Historical context, the bathing machine emerged during

1447
01:59:14.079 --> 01:59:18.720
the eighteenth century as the popularity of seaside resorts grew

1448
01:59:18.880 --> 01:59:23.760
in Britain, at a time when swimming costumes were not

1449
01:59:23.880 --> 01:59:31.319
yet common and modesty was paramount, especially for women. These

1450
01:59:31.359 --> 01:59:37.640
wooden carts served as both changing rooms and a means

1451
01:59:37.760 --> 01:59:43.760
to discreetly enter the water. The legal requirements for men

1452
01:59:43.840 --> 01:59:48.760
and women to bathe separately fostered the need for these machines,

1453
01:59:49.279 --> 01:59:55.239
allowing females to change into their bathing attire while remaining

1454
01:59:55.319 --> 02:00:03.119
hidden from public view. Okay, so they the car. They

1455
02:00:03.119 --> 02:00:07.880
were carts on wheels, six foot high eight foot wide,

1456
02:00:08.159 --> 02:00:12.720
and they were pulled into the sea by horses and

1457
02:00:12.840 --> 02:00:16.520
babies could just jump into the water about being seen,

1458
02:00:17.039 --> 02:00:25.279
and maybe curtains or umbrellas to keep their modesty. Oh

1459
02:00:25.319 --> 02:00:28.920
look at this. Women used these machines. Mainly men were

1460
02:00:28.960 --> 02:00:31.560
allowed to bathe naked until the nineteenth century.

1461
02:00:32.960 --> 02:00:46.000
Oh hmm, right.

1462
02:00:46.640 --> 02:00:52.520
And the bathing costumes were ridiculous. It wasn't like I mean,

1463
02:00:52.600 --> 02:00:58.279
they were proper, full on, full on old attire. It

1464
02:00:58.439 --> 02:01:03.279
was the men always had to have stripy ones and

1465
02:01:03.680 --> 02:01:10.279
the it doesn't look fun. And there's a woman there

1466
02:01:10.039 --> 02:01:12.279
were in a bathing costume. It looks like she's getting

1467
02:01:12.319 --> 02:01:20.640
ready to climb a mountain. H wow, that's interesting, kind

1468
02:01:20.680 --> 02:01:27.560
of I know, it's not supposed to be sorry about that.

1469
02:01:27.640 --> 02:01:32.039
The bucket and spades sets have been popular since the

1470
02:01:32.119 --> 02:01:42.920
early nineteen hundreds. I should like bucket and spades, yeah,

1471
02:01:42.960 --> 02:01:50.079
I did. I should like to I should like to

1472
02:01:50.119 --> 02:01:56.960
make sand castles because it's fun, wasn't it If anyone

1473
02:01:56.960 --> 02:02:03.239
did it, it's just fun. And my brother equally liked

1474
02:02:03.319 --> 02:02:11.720
to just step on mine. For some reason. I did

1475
02:02:11.760 --> 02:02:14.159
think about trying to get hold of some explosions, but

1476
02:02:14.279 --> 02:02:16.640
she couldn't get any It's very hard when you're seven,

1477
02:02:17.159 --> 02:02:20.600
the cold of explosions explosives. I was going to put

1478
02:02:20.600 --> 02:02:23.199
some underneath the sand and when he stepped on it.

1479
02:02:23.920 --> 02:02:27.319
I'll teach him not to do that again. But yeah,

1480
02:02:27.319 --> 02:02:32.159
I couldn't get any spent a lot of my childhood

1481
02:02:32.159 --> 02:02:37.920
in prison. That was weird, and I was the youngest

1482
02:02:38.000 --> 02:02:43.239
terrorist in history. Ice Cream vans became widespread in the

1483
02:02:43.319 --> 02:02:50.439
nineteen fifties. Oh, ice cream vans. I loved myself some

1484
02:02:50.560 --> 02:02:55.000
ice cream. Having been to an ice cream van for

1485
02:02:55.039 --> 02:03:01.119
a long, long, long, long time. It amazes me that

1486
02:03:01.159 --> 02:03:04.079
they come out in all weathers. I saw one. It

1487
02:03:04.119 --> 02:03:07.039
was freezing cold and it came out because it was

1488
02:03:07.039 --> 02:03:11.279
a Saturday, because it was in June. It was raining

1489
02:03:11.479 --> 02:03:13.800
and it was very cold and windy. It was like

1490
02:03:13.840 --> 02:03:17.399
a winter's day out there, and they just decided, well

1491
02:03:17.680 --> 02:03:21.159
to second of June, let's go out. It's officially summer.

1492
02:03:23.640 --> 02:03:27.560
Fly just landed on a microphone. Punch and Judy shows

1493
02:03:27.560 --> 02:03:32.000
were classic seaside entertainment. I don't think they're allowed anymore.

1494
02:03:32.840 --> 02:03:40.439
That's study Gate. Blackpool Illuminations, though not autumnal, used to

1495
02:03:40.520 --> 02:03:50.920
start in late summer, so Blackpool Illuminations very very popular. Blackpool, well,

1496
02:03:50.960 --> 02:03:55.840
I think it was once classed as the Las Vegas

1497
02:03:55.920 --> 02:04:03.800
of England that like sinos and all kinds of stuff

1498
02:04:03.840 --> 02:04:08.560
in Blackpool, And I would have loved to have gone

1499
02:04:08.600 --> 02:04:14.760
there when it was busy, not busy busy, but that

1500
02:04:14.800 --> 02:04:16.920
in its kind of peak, just to see what it's like,

1501
02:04:17.880 --> 02:04:21.159
because I never did. I don't know what it's like now.

1502
02:04:21.199 --> 02:04:24.359
If it still gets really busy. I hope it does

1503
02:04:24.600 --> 02:04:28.159
for the people that you know, work there and have businesses.

1504
02:04:30.800 --> 02:04:32.960
But I went there once and it was on the

1505
02:04:33.000 --> 02:04:37.079
way to the Isle of Man and it was the

1506
02:04:37.119 --> 02:04:45.800
windiest day in history. It was probably August July August time,

1507
02:04:46.600 --> 02:04:54.800
really windy, and we were going to Liverpool to catch

1508
02:04:54.840 --> 02:05:00.119
the ferry to the Isle of Man. The faerry was canceled,

1509
02:05:02.079 --> 02:05:04.319
but because we'd been in a car and we've been

1510
02:05:04.359 --> 02:05:07.640
traveling for ten minutes, my dad decided to continue the

1511
02:05:07.720 --> 02:05:13.680
journey anyway in a almost hurricane wind, which is why

1512
02:05:13.720 --> 02:05:15.640
the fairy had been canceled.

1513
02:05:18.119 --> 02:05:18.319
You know.

1514
02:05:18.680 --> 02:05:23.520
He decided, well, we've been going for ten minutes because

1515
02:05:23.560 --> 02:05:26.840
his sister, who would visit my auntie who we were visiting,

1516
02:05:27.479 --> 02:05:32.720
said don't bother coming. There's no fairies. There is absolutely

1517
02:05:32.720 --> 02:05:38.199
tremendous weather here and the fairies are canceled for the formidable,

1518
02:05:38.239 --> 02:05:46.359
future formidable, formidable future formidable. It's very formidable. Formidable was

1519
02:05:46.439 --> 02:05:55.880
like war that's quite good formidable for dimmable bidable hm hm. Anyway,

1520
02:05:55.920 --> 02:06:02.560
they were canceled, but my dad said nah, and we

1521
02:06:02.760 --> 02:06:08.159
stopped at Blackpool because it's on the way to Liverpool.

1522
02:06:10.720 --> 02:06:12.680
And I was quite happy because I thought, all go

1523
02:06:12.720 --> 02:06:16.840
to see Blackpool Blackpool Tower. There was no lights on.

1524
02:06:19.039 --> 02:06:24.119
Everything seemed to be closed because the wind was it

1525
02:06:24.199 --> 02:06:28.199
was almost hurricane level. It was really strong. I mean,

1526
02:06:28.239 --> 02:06:31.560
we don't generally get hurricanes in this country, but we

1527
02:06:31.640 --> 02:06:34.279
do get very strong winds sometimes, and this is one

1528
02:06:34.279 --> 02:06:40.239
of those really really really windy days. My name nearly

1529
02:06:40.279 --> 02:06:50.439
blew away and she went into one of these toilets

1530
02:06:52.560 --> 02:07:02.119
and it was a what was it. It was a toilet.

1531
02:07:04.039 --> 02:07:08.640
It's like a porter toilet. Okay, it was heavy enough

1532
02:07:08.640 --> 02:07:10.119
so it wasn't being blown around, but it was a

1533
02:07:10.119 --> 02:07:13.279
portter toilet. She went in there and she got locked in.

1534
02:07:13.399 --> 02:07:18.920
She couldn't get out, and my dad got a phone

1535
02:07:18.960 --> 02:07:23.840
call from my auntie saying, it looks like the next

1536
02:07:23.880 --> 02:07:28.439
ferry is going to be The winds calm down enough

1537
02:07:28.600 --> 02:07:31.000
on their end that they can sort of send the

1538
02:07:31.039 --> 02:07:36.039
ferry out, so we had to. I had to leave Menanda,

1539
02:07:37.000 --> 02:07:38.960
And yeah, she's still there as far as I know.

1540
02:07:40.640 --> 02:07:43.640
That was twenty twenty one years ago. I hope she's

1541
02:07:43.680 --> 02:07:49.520
all right. I've heard it. They're quite comfortable places, those

1542
02:07:50.680 --> 02:07:57.039
porter toilets, porter potty. She did actually get locked in.

1543
02:07:58.880 --> 02:08:01.600
It was funny, but in the same sense, obviously it

1544
02:08:01.680 --> 02:08:05.880
wasn't funny, but it was funny. We got out, We

1545
02:08:05.960 --> 02:08:09.079
got her out. We managed to do the lot from

1546
02:08:09.079 --> 02:08:13.399
the outside. I think I knew how to do that.

1547
02:08:13.439 --> 02:08:15.920
And my dad looked at me very strangely that I

1548
02:08:15.960 --> 02:08:18.279
was able to open a toilet, a public toilet from

1549
02:08:18.319 --> 02:08:20.800
the outside that was locked from the inside. But it

1550
02:08:20.880 --> 02:08:25.439
was just like a coin. It was very simple and

1551
02:08:25.479 --> 02:08:30.079
a drill. I happened to have the tools on me.

1552
02:08:30.680 --> 02:08:36.359
Don't judge me. Lie dose or outdoor pools gained popularity

1553
02:08:36.479 --> 02:08:43.760
in the nineteen thirties. Yeah, they were popular. They were popular.

1554
02:08:43.960 --> 02:08:45.479
I was going to say they're popular in my day.

1555
02:08:45.520 --> 02:08:51.680
But outdoor pool like little pools, like the blow up

1556
02:08:51.840 --> 02:08:57.439
ones and the lie dose, and they like the big beds,

1557
02:08:58.039 --> 02:09:02.439
floaty beds made of plastic. They were quite popular even

1558
02:09:02.479 --> 02:09:06.880
when I was a kid, because you could you could

1559
02:09:07.239 --> 02:09:13.279
lay on them on in the garden, and then you

1560
02:09:13.279 --> 02:09:19.840
can lay on them on the water as well. You've

1561
02:09:19.840 --> 02:09:25.560
got beach huts in places like south Wold and Bourne

1562
02:09:25.680 --> 02:09:30.920
Mouth are worth tens of thousands of pounds. Now that

1563
02:09:31.079 --> 02:09:34.039
surprised me, because that doesn't surprise me. I already knew

1564
02:09:34.039 --> 02:09:38.279
that because where my dad lives, the peach, the beach

1565
02:09:38.319 --> 02:09:44.359
huts are like thirty grand, thirty five grand. There's not

1566
02:09:44.520 --> 02:09:48.399
enough room to do anything in them, hardly. Literally. You

1567
02:09:48.439 --> 02:09:55.039
can you can sit in it, that's it. You can't

1568
02:09:55.079 --> 02:09:56.960
sleep in it. I suppose you could, but you're not

1569
02:09:57.000 --> 02:10:07.680
allowed to sleep in it, not overnight. You can't have

1570
02:10:07.800 --> 02:10:14.359
braves agriculture and nature. Some is a I don't think

1571
02:10:14.359 --> 02:10:17.239
you even own the land, so it'd be different if

1572
02:10:17.239 --> 02:10:21.800
you owned the land and you bought all those beach

1573
02:10:21.920 --> 02:10:28.399
huts along the prom Technically you could perhaps own enough

1574
02:10:28.479 --> 02:10:32.560
land to start building on it. I don't know, put

1575
02:10:32.600 --> 02:10:36.279
a fence up or something. Some it is peak harvest

1576
02:10:36.359 --> 02:10:40.000
season for many English crops. I didn't know that. I

1577
02:10:40.039 --> 02:10:47.279
don't know a lot about crops. If we if AI

1578
02:10:48.279 --> 02:10:57.560
manages to extend life to almost infinity, you know, so

1579
02:10:57.760 --> 02:11:02.520
that all organs can be replaced with pished, and you

1580
02:11:02.560 --> 02:11:05.000
know that we just like could stay a life forever.

1581
02:11:06.960 --> 02:11:13.439
I'm going to study about harvests and crop growing because

1582
02:11:13.479 --> 02:11:16.520
it does interest me, but not that much. I don't

1583
02:11:16.560 --> 02:11:18.439
think I'm going to have enough time in my life

1584
02:11:18.479 --> 02:11:22.720
to really put too much effort into it. But it's

1585
02:11:22.840 --> 02:11:27.680
something that is I know it's really important, but I just, yeah,

1586
02:11:27.840 --> 02:11:31.199
I'd like a bit more time. I'd like a bit more,

1587
02:11:32.159 --> 02:11:34.479
a bit more time added to my sentence so that

1588
02:11:34.520 --> 02:11:39.680
I could actually, you know, devote that time to studying

1589
02:11:40.079 --> 02:11:48.439
English crops and harvest seasons. The next one is strawberry picking.

1590
02:11:49.520 --> 02:11:53.399
Strawberry picking became a popular summer pastime in the twentieth century.

1591
02:11:54.479 --> 02:11:56.279
Did you know this? This is something that you probably

1592
02:11:56.319 --> 02:11:58.439
never heard before. I don't know who told me this,

1593
02:11:58.560 --> 02:12:02.399
but apparently straw brees ripen much quicker when it's hot.

1594
02:12:05.800 --> 02:12:09.000
The smell of cut grass is a nostalgic trigger for

1595
02:12:09.119 --> 02:12:17.159
many Brits. Yeah, there's definitely a certain smell, isn't there

1596
02:12:17.199 --> 02:12:21.840
connected to that cut and grass. You're not like grass

1597
02:12:21.840 --> 02:12:33.600
in the garden I'm talking about. Hmmm, So what we

1598
02:12:33.720 --> 02:12:47.119
got here? Hay fever, known medically as allergic rhinitis rhinoceros

1599
02:12:47.199 --> 02:12:53.319
spikes in English sellar dudes of pollen. I think that's

1600
02:12:53.359 --> 02:12:59.159
the same everywhere, isn't it? What else has we got here?

1601
02:12:59.680 --> 02:13:05.199
Blue bells? Blue bells finish blooming by early summer. Blooming

1602
02:13:05.319 --> 02:13:16.319
blue bells finish blooming by early summer in English woodlands. Ooh, Butterflies,

1603
02:13:16.680 --> 02:13:25.000
especially the red admiral and peacock, are abundant in English summers.

1604
02:13:25.920 --> 02:13:28.920
That's good. I love myself a bit of butterfly action.

1605
02:13:30.720 --> 02:13:33.560
That sounds wrong, doesn't it. I really love butterflies though

1606
02:13:34.840 --> 02:13:38.000
they're so beautiful. And moths I like moths as well.

1607
02:13:38.680 --> 02:13:41.640
To me, a butterfly is just a moth. It's a

1608
02:13:41.720 --> 02:13:46.760
daytime moth, and a moth is a nighttime butterfly. It's

1609
02:13:46.800 --> 02:13:52.439
the same, isn't it? For me? Just how I see it?

1610
02:13:53.720 --> 02:13:57.159
I suppose to me, a moth is like a a

1611
02:13:57.199 --> 02:14:02.479
butterfly thats been bitten by a vampire maybe, or a

1612
02:14:02.520 --> 02:14:09.159
butterfly that's mated with a bat. You know that's that

1613
02:14:09.199 --> 02:14:14.920
would be messy. H The English oak releases most of

1614
02:14:14.960 --> 02:14:21.720
its pollen in the summer. Oh thanks. Hedgehogs are more

1615
02:14:21.840 --> 02:14:27.279
visible in summer evenings. Most things are more visible in

1616
02:14:27.359 --> 02:14:32.439
summer evenings because you can see because it's lighter. Even

1617
02:14:32.439 --> 02:14:36.600
a lampposts are more visible. The hedges are more visible,

1618
02:14:36.960 --> 02:14:40.319
the trees are more visible, the grass is more visible,

1619
02:14:42.000 --> 02:14:50.439
the ladybirds are more visible. But my roller skates are

1620
02:14:50.479 --> 02:14:57.720
more you know. The dog's barking again, so yeah, it's hedgehogs.

1621
02:14:58.600 --> 02:15:02.520
Wish that dog would stop. I managed to stop Vinney

1622
02:15:02.560 --> 02:15:08.359
from barking. He did start, and I said to him, Oh,

1623
02:15:08.439 --> 02:15:12.399
come on, baby, don't be doing that. Man, little baby boy,

1624
02:15:13.159 --> 02:15:14.760
we don't want to do that. We don't want to

1625
02:15:14.800 --> 02:15:18.880
be barking, do we. We don't want to be barking

1626
02:15:19.000 --> 02:15:22.319
because you're such a good boy. You are a good boy,

1627
02:15:22.319 --> 02:15:25.439
aren't you. You're my favoritest little boy in the whole

1628
02:15:25.479 --> 02:15:31.840
wide world. You are my little son, my little Vinnie Minilli,

1629
02:15:32.439 --> 02:15:38.399
Yes you are. The English oak releases most of its pollic. Okay,

1630
02:15:38.399 --> 02:15:41.279
I would have done that. One. Wasp season peaks in

1631
02:15:41.399 --> 02:15:49.000
late summer, particularly August. Brilliant summer thunderstorms help cool the air,

1632
02:15:49.359 --> 02:15:52.560
but often follow hot whom it spells.

1633
02:15:54.000 --> 02:15:54.239
Well.

1634
02:15:54.960 --> 02:15:57.399
It probably wouldn't help cool the air if the air

1635
02:15:57.439 --> 02:15:59.359
was already cool with it, so it kind of has

1636
02:15:59.439 --> 02:16:03.199
to follow a hot, humid spells. It sort of makes sense,

1637
02:16:03.680 --> 02:16:06.720
I think, or might just be im pedantic.

1638
02:16:09.119 --> 02:16:09.319
Right.

1639
02:16:11.640 --> 02:16:18.000
Historical events, the Spanish Armada was defeated in the summer

1640
02:16:18.039 --> 02:16:23.680
of fifteen eighty eight. The Great Fire of London began

1641
02:16:23.800 --> 02:16:27.439
during a dry summer of nine eight of sixteen sixty six.

1642
02:16:30.119 --> 02:16:32.200
None of this is nice stuff, so I'm gonna just

1643
02:16:33.719 --> 02:16:36.760
leave that. It's all at wars and stuff. The Queen

1644
02:16:36.840 --> 02:16:48.159
Victoria regularly summered in the Isle of Wight. That's nice

1645
02:16:48.440 --> 02:16:52.959
food and drink. Eaton mess is a summer dessert originated

1646
02:16:53.040 --> 02:17:00.120
at Eton College. So is that what Eton musk drinks

1647
02:17:02.200 --> 02:17:06.239
or eats. Pim's Number one cup is traditionally served with

1648
02:17:06.280 --> 02:17:14.120
fruit and mint. Okay, cream cream teas are a summer

1649
02:17:14.159 --> 02:17:24.600
staple in Devon and corn Wall. I knew that Devon cream. Yeah.

1650
02:17:24.719 --> 02:17:30.200
Cucumber sand witches became popular as a cooling summer treat,

1651
02:17:32.399 --> 02:17:43.600
and barbecues became fashionable in English gardens in the nineteen eighties. Okay,

1652
02:17:43.959 --> 02:17:48.920
barbecues became fashionable in the nineteen eighties. I was around

1653
02:17:48.959 --> 02:17:53.040
in the nineteen eighties, so were they not popular before that?

1654
02:17:53.159 --> 02:17:57.360
I just thought everyone I remember the early eighties. I

1655
02:17:57.399 --> 02:18:04.639
remember even the late seventies seeing barbecues. Oh, it's interesting.

1656
02:18:05.639 --> 02:18:07.879
I just thought it was something that's been around for ages,

1657
02:18:08.479 --> 02:18:15.719
and it has now, But before then, ice cream cones

1658
02:18:16.000 --> 02:18:24.319
regularly gained popularity in England after w W One. Rhubarb

1659
02:18:24.399 --> 02:18:30.159
and gooseberries are commonly harvested in early summer. Rhubarb rubab

1660
02:18:30.280 --> 02:18:35.520
is one of those. I mean, isn't it technically a

1661
02:18:35.600 --> 02:18:42.760
vegetable because it's a root, isn't it? But it's a fruit?

1662
02:18:43.840 --> 02:18:45.799
Is it? If? I don't know, I think it's a vegetable.

1663
02:18:46.000 --> 02:18:53.159
But anyway, rubarb is both disgusting and beautiful. It's weird now,

1664
02:18:53.239 --> 02:19:01.719
it's sour and like funny face making taste. If it's

1665
02:19:01.799 --> 02:19:03.959
not done in a way that I like it, I've

1666
02:19:03.959 --> 02:19:07.959
got to just talk for myself really, But if it

1667
02:19:08.000 --> 02:19:11.879
has the right amount of sugar in taste and it's

1668
02:19:11.920 --> 02:19:16.639
in a rubarb crumble, okay, the difference of rubob pie

1669
02:19:16.879 --> 02:19:19.639
can be a little bit sour rubob crumble, but it's

1670
02:19:19.639 --> 02:19:25.319
done properly, the most beautiful. Oh, I can't even say

1671
02:19:25.319 --> 02:19:29.479
the word. I'm so excited, Oh, honestly, and with some

1672
02:19:29.680 --> 02:19:38.200
cream or ice cream, absolutely gorgeous Summer puddings made with

1673
02:19:38.319 --> 02:19:43.319
berries and bread are a traditional dessert. I've got funny

1674
02:19:43.319 --> 02:19:48.799
story for one of my neighbors and asked me for

1675
02:19:48.840 --> 02:19:51.120
some bread the other day, and I said, you've got

1676
02:19:51.120 --> 02:19:57.760
any bread? Texted me. I said, yeah, all right, yeah,

1677
02:19:58.879 --> 02:20:00.559
and then she said, I wait a minute, I'm not

1678
02:20:00.600 --> 02:20:05.639
allowed to have bread because I'm diabetic. I said, okay,

1679
02:20:06.159 --> 02:20:07.719
I've got a pizza in the freeze if you want to.

1680
02:20:07.840 --> 02:20:14.520
She said, oh, that'd be nice, and pizza's many bread,

1681
02:20:14.520 --> 02:20:16.559
isn't it. So just that's what I was trying to

1682
02:20:20.639 --> 02:20:23.479
I think the can I have some bread? That was

1683
02:20:23.520 --> 02:20:26.639
the equiminal saying oh, can I some bread? And water?

1684
02:20:27.840 --> 02:20:30.479
Thinking I'd say, no, wait a minute, let me let

1685
02:20:30.520 --> 02:20:35.760
me order your take out. Yeah, no I can't. I'm

1686
02:20:35.799 --> 02:20:37.520
unable to. I'd like to be able to do that,

1687
02:20:38.200 --> 02:20:43.319
but I can't. I can you do it? Lemon barley

1688
02:20:43.319 --> 02:20:48.680
water was made famous by wimbled Dune. Some are puddings

1689
02:20:48.719 --> 02:20:52.680
made with berries and bread. Okay, it's traditional dessert, berries

1690
02:20:52.719 --> 02:20:56.879
and bread, But that's bread and butter pudding, though, isn't it.

1691
02:20:56.879 --> 02:21:01.399
It's saying summerre puddings, but bread and butter pudding, bread

1692
02:21:01.639 --> 02:21:06.680
and butter, jelly and ice cream remain a nostalgic summer

1693
02:21:07.200 --> 02:21:17.040
party favorite. The phrase British summer began in nineteen sixteen

1694
02:21:17.159 --> 02:21:22.559
with daylight saving okay, fair enough as they changed ordinary.

1695
02:21:22.600 --> 02:21:26.920
Then BBC weather forecasts for summer holidays became part of

1696
02:21:27.079 --> 02:21:32.520
family planning, and the nineteen sixties saw a surge in

1697
02:21:32.799 --> 02:21:38.280
seaside postcard humor. Ah, so that's when it started. I

1698
02:21:38.280 --> 02:21:40.079
should love all those because it used to just be

1699
02:21:40.239 --> 02:21:45.159
rude and lots of rude pictures. Last of the Summer

1700
02:21:45.200 --> 02:21:49.680
Wine a sitcom man from nineteen seventy three to twenty ten.

1701
02:21:51.159 --> 02:21:53.239
It's just got some in a title that's not really

1702
02:21:53.280 --> 02:21:57.799
relevant to what I'm talking about. But this next bit

1703
02:21:58.200 --> 02:22:01.840
is Summer Holiday Cliff Richard. It's a Cliff Richard movie

1704
02:22:02.719 --> 02:22:07.000
from nineteen sixty three, like we are going on a

1705
02:22:07.159 --> 02:22:12.879
Summahanaday normal working for week or two. I love that song.

1706
02:22:14.000 --> 02:22:18.879
Gaverness Stacy's Barry Island scenes became iconic summer TV moments.

1707
02:22:19.399 --> 02:22:21.600
I've got no idea what that is. I know Gavin

1708
02:22:21.600 --> 02:22:25.319
and Stacey, but I don't know the moment they're talking about.

1709
02:22:27.120 --> 02:22:29.680
And they're just talking about things like Love Island, Top

1710
02:22:29.719 --> 02:22:34.760
of the Pops, the Radio one road show, Doctor Who's

1711
02:22:34.799 --> 02:22:38.120
Summer Specials, just things that be on TV in the summer.

1712
02:22:39.520 --> 02:22:42.440
Summer is probably one of the worst times on English television.

1713
02:22:43.680 --> 02:22:45.920
They just don't put a lot on TV. There's a

1714
02:22:45.959 --> 02:22:50.520
bit of sport for those that love sport, Wimbledon and

1715
02:22:51.719 --> 02:22:54.360
the World Cup or the European Cup if that's song

1716
02:22:54.479 --> 02:22:59.559
of that year. So there's things like that, cricket, but

1717
02:23:00.079 --> 02:23:04.799
as far as entertainment programs, there's not always a huge

1718
02:23:04.840 --> 02:23:10.559
amount on that kind of starts in autumn. Oh then

1719
02:23:10.559 --> 02:23:15.840
it's got outdoor activities. It's got crickets, tennis of course,

1720
02:23:17.479 --> 02:23:20.760
kite flying, I don't know. Kite flying is something you

1721
02:23:20.760 --> 02:23:24.840
need a lot of wind. For a lot of wind wind.

1722
02:23:26.239 --> 02:23:31.200
Bicycle cells spike every summer. Well, we all buy things

1723
02:23:31.200 --> 02:23:35.079
we don't use that caravan and there's a classic English

1724
02:23:35.159 --> 02:23:40.520
summer tradition. Paddle Boats on lakes became popular in the

1725
02:23:40.600 --> 02:23:48.639
Victorian era, and children's summer camps began growing in popularity

1726
02:23:49.200 --> 02:23:57.680
post WW two. Village fates with tombolas and coconut shies

1727
02:23:58.120 --> 02:24:04.120
are summer traditions, and schools out for summer signals. Mass

1728
02:24:04.159 --> 02:24:10.120
family holidays starting in July, so it's July to one today.

1729
02:24:11.000 --> 02:24:14.600
This is quite apt, isn't it really? For talking about?

1730
02:24:18.239 --> 02:24:24.360
What are we actually talking about? What is the subject? Oh, summers? Okay,

1731
02:24:24.399 --> 02:24:30.239
we're talking about summers right all. The term staycation became

1732
02:24:30.319 --> 02:24:37.959
popular during summer's post two thousand and eight staycation. I

1733
02:24:38.000 --> 02:24:40.840
think it got to the point where going abroad was

1734
02:24:40.879 --> 02:24:45.200
no longer a really really cheap option as much as

1735
02:24:45.239 --> 02:24:47.520
it used to be in the past. It used to

1736
02:24:47.559 --> 02:24:49.399
be a cheaper option in it. I think it just

1737
02:24:49.440 --> 02:24:54.239
became more expensive. Maybe I don't know. Butlin's holiday camps

1738
02:24:54.239 --> 02:24:58.719
were summer institution from the nineteen thirties. I used to

1739
02:24:58.719 --> 02:25:02.399
work at Butlin's for a season in the winter of

1740
02:25:03.079 --> 02:25:08.120
some time in the nineties. My tummy's gurgling for some reason.

1741
02:25:09.040 --> 02:25:14.239
Cornwall and Devon have been popular summer destinations for centuries.

1742
02:25:16.200 --> 02:25:22.159
It's a beautiful coven. Cornwall and Devon lovely places. Never

1743
02:25:22.239 --> 02:25:25.159
been to Lake District. I'd like to go there. It

1744
02:25:25.239 --> 02:25:28.760
sees the peaking visits during the summer. I've never been there.

1745
02:25:28.760 --> 02:25:32.920
It'd be nice. The Great British q can be seen

1746
02:25:32.959 --> 02:25:36.239
at every seaside chip shop in July. Yeah, I'm not

1747
02:25:36.239 --> 02:25:38.440
a big fan of the old queue in I'll be

1748
02:25:38.479 --> 02:25:44.200
honest with you. Nah, rail excursions to the coast became

1749
02:25:44.360 --> 02:25:51.319
common in the eighteen hundreds, so yeah, that guess because

1750
02:25:51.319 --> 02:25:54.520
we had railway tracks end didn't we Before that? We

1751
02:25:54.559 --> 02:26:00.680
had to go by horse and cart, I suppose or

1752
02:26:00.760 --> 02:26:08.639
ride on sheep. Caravans and motor homes often clog English

1753
02:26:08.799 --> 02:26:12.840
roads in August. I was just wondering, Like with horses,

1754
02:26:12.879 --> 02:26:14.639
you put a carroat in front of them, so they run.

1755
02:26:15.079 --> 02:26:18.440
What would you put in front of a sheep? What

1756
02:26:18.520 --> 02:26:22.799
does sheep eat grass? So I suppose you could. You

1757
02:26:22.840 --> 02:26:25.360
could travel on a cow and just put like some

1758
02:26:25.479 --> 02:26:30.000
grass or a little plant or something dangling in front

1759
02:26:30.000 --> 02:26:31.719
of it, and they just follow that try and get

1760
02:26:31.760 --> 02:26:40.120
to the grass. Maybe bank holiday weekends are peak travel periods.

1761
02:26:40.280 --> 02:26:46.000
That's true. It says caravans and motor homes often clog

1762
02:26:46.120 --> 02:26:50.000
English roads in August. Okay, we don't ever go at them.

1763
02:26:50.280 --> 02:26:53.600
It's not their fault, is it. Why are having to

1764
02:26:53.600 --> 02:26:56.920
go at people in caravans and motor homes. They don't

1765
02:26:56.959 --> 02:27:01.680
take up a huge amount more space and cars. It

1766
02:27:01.760 --> 02:27:04.079
is that, you know, Like the other day I went

1767
02:27:04.079 --> 02:27:07.840
into Okay, I want to you about that, but okay,

1768
02:27:09.040 --> 02:27:12.959
I was in the hospital. I needed the toilet. I

1769
02:27:13.159 --> 02:27:14.959
needed the toilet but it was just a weir read

1770
02:27:15.000 --> 02:27:19.239
but I needed to go. Went to the men's toilets

1771
02:27:20.200 --> 02:27:24.440
it and I walked past I think five disabled toilets

1772
02:27:24.920 --> 02:27:28.559
to get to the men's toilets. It was blocked off

1773
02:27:28.559 --> 02:27:31.920
because it was being cleaned. I went back. There was

1774
02:27:32.040 --> 02:27:38.559
multiple disabled toilets, but I were empty, so I went

1775
02:27:38.600 --> 02:27:44.440
in one did my quick wee wee came out as guaranteed.

1776
02:27:44.479 --> 02:27:47.319
There was a lady there in a wheelchair waiting, and

1777
02:27:47.360 --> 02:27:49.159
the woman that was with her was looking at me

1778
02:27:49.319 --> 02:27:55.319
like I just committed every crime in history upon her person. Honestly,

1779
02:27:55.319 --> 02:27:58.559
it was like really, And I said, oh, was sorry

1780
02:27:58.559 --> 02:28:02.520
about that. I just needed to go, And neither of

1781
02:28:02.520 --> 02:28:09.159
the master answered me even acknowledge my existence. And honestly,

1782
02:28:09.280 --> 02:28:12.319
I was there for I was in there maybe twenty seconds,

1783
02:28:12.840 --> 02:28:16.079
half a minute, so it wasn't a long time. So

1784
02:28:16.200 --> 02:28:19.079
I didn't feel great. I'll be honest. I mean, I

1785
02:28:19.120 --> 02:28:22.799
am registered, I'm technically disabled anyway, I'm disabled, but not

1786
02:28:22.879 --> 02:28:30.840
just not physically. And I start thinking and I'm a

1787
02:28:30.879 --> 02:28:37.239
little bit inside as I'm walking out. I'm just thinking,

1788
02:28:37.280 --> 02:28:45.760
you know what, Okay, disabled toilets there for disabled people,

1789
02:28:47.000 --> 02:28:54.959
fair enough. However, in what world does anyone expect to

1790
02:28:55.000 --> 02:28:57.000
be able to just walk up the toilet, open the door,

1791
02:28:57.040 --> 02:29:00.239
and go in without queuing, without waiting, without some else

1792
02:29:00.280 --> 02:29:06.559
being in there. No one does that with the men's

1793
02:29:06.600 --> 02:29:10.120
toilets or for the women's toilets. I can't believe there's

1794
02:29:10.120 --> 02:29:12.159
someone in there. Why are you in there? It should

1795
02:29:12.159 --> 02:29:14.959
be available for me just to walk in. I suppose

1796
02:29:14.959 --> 02:29:17.239
I shouldn't use the word walking, but just to use

1797
02:29:17.280 --> 02:29:24.879
the toilet without having to wait. I mean, firstly I

1798
02:29:24.920 --> 02:29:27.920
have to wait. It's like, I mean, she was sitting

1799
02:29:27.959 --> 02:29:36.520
down waiting, and why would she have to be what?

1800
02:29:36.760 --> 02:29:39.200
It's just it's just kind of like, wait a minute.

1801
02:29:40.040 --> 02:29:41.920
If I was in there for hours, or if I

1802
02:29:41.959 --> 02:29:45.559
was in there doing a long long time, but why

1803
02:29:45.600 --> 02:29:51.200
should it Why should that toilet be available instantly when

1804
02:29:53.079 --> 02:29:57.799
I also need to go to the toilet. It's just

1805
02:29:57.959 --> 02:30:00.000
that's I started to think. They're like, wait a minute,

1806
02:30:00.200 --> 02:30:02.479
I'm feeling bad here, but I don't need to really,

1807
02:30:03.200 --> 02:30:08.479
because if there is a queue of people, let's say,

1808
02:30:08.600 --> 02:30:12.959
abled bodied people queuing outside as so there as two

1809
02:30:13.040 --> 02:30:17.040
people queueing outside the disabled then she's within her right

1810
02:30:17.159 --> 02:30:20.879
to say, oh, bug her off, this is for this

1811
02:30:20.959 --> 02:30:23.440
is for me, this is my toilet. I own this toilet,

1812
02:30:23.799 --> 02:30:26.559
this toilet is built just for me, and she's got

1813
02:30:26.559 --> 02:30:31.520
a right to kind of I don't know, run them over.

1814
02:30:31.559 --> 02:30:36.559
I guess in a chair she wants. But that wasn't

1815
02:30:36.559 --> 02:30:41.719
the situation. So the idea that she should be just

1816
02:30:41.760 --> 02:30:45.600
spelled to just open the door and go in and

1817
02:30:45.719 --> 02:30:50.040
never ever have to wait to use a toilet. That's

1818
02:30:50.120 --> 02:30:52.799
not real real life, is it. Sometimes we have to

1819
02:30:52.840 --> 02:30:55.520
wait to use a toilet because there's other people on

1820
02:30:55.559 --> 02:31:03.239
the planet. So I felt less guilty. I would have

1821
02:31:03.280 --> 02:31:05.520
felt less guilty if I hadn't actually said that to her,

1822
02:31:06.479 --> 02:31:11.959
and then I felt more guilty, But you know, we live,

1823
02:31:12.120 --> 02:31:16.959
we learn sometimes. But I did think about that, like, Okay,

1824
02:31:17.479 --> 02:31:21.360
I needed the toilet. It's either that or go into

1825
02:31:21.360 --> 02:31:26.000
the women's toilets, and these days that's round upon. But

1826
02:31:26.040 --> 02:31:29.159
there was only one woman's toilet, there's only one men's toilet.

1827
02:31:30.280 --> 02:31:35.920
There was I think four four or five what's it

1828
02:31:36.000 --> 02:31:39.200
name toilets, because you can go in there as well

1829
02:31:39.239 --> 02:31:41.319
if you've got a baby to change as well, so

1830
02:31:42.000 --> 02:31:48.520
you know, it's not just for disabled people. And I

1831
02:31:48.520 --> 02:31:51.399
did a quick weewie. I didn't go there, and I

1832
02:31:51.440 --> 02:31:56.639
wasn't in there, knitting a jumper for Vinnie, drinking a

1833
02:31:56.680 --> 02:32:00.360
cup of coffee, watching the I don't know, Wimbledon tennis

1834
02:32:01.239 --> 02:32:06.120
on my phone. I wasn't in there for ages. I

1835
02:32:06.159 --> 02:32:08.799
was just there was a quick zip in there, unzip

1836
02:32:10.639 --> 02:32:14.399
and then zip up again. Actually there's no zipping because

1837
02:32:14.399 --> 02:32:21.559
I was wearing what's it tracksuit bottoms. It was more

1838
02:32:21.559 --> 02:32:26.079
of a shake kind of not wanting drippage anyway more

1839
02:32:26.120 --> 02:32:27.639
than you need to know, so it was a little

1840
02:32:27.680 --> 02:32:30.600
bit of shaking. It's just, you know, just washing my

1841
02:32:30.680 --> 02:32:37.040
hands and stuff like that. And then I and I

1842
02:32:37.159 --> 02:32:40.040
left open the door because the thing is they were

1843
02:32:40.040 --> 02:32:43.000
trying to open the door. I kept pulling it, rattling

1844
02:32:43.040 --> 02:32:45.920
the door like anything. It's okay, it's not opening now.

1845
02:32:45.959 --> 02:32:47.879
It's not going to open if you keep pulling it.

1846
02:32:48.559 --> 02:32:54.319
There's clearly someone in there, and seemed like quite an

1847
02:32:54.319 --> 02:32:58.760
angry person, both of them. Really. I think seeing my

1848
02:32:58.920 --> 02:33:05.600
lovely face didn't help when I opened the door. And

1849
02:33:07.440 --> 02:33:09.840
it's the first time I've ever felt bad for not

1850
02:33:11.040 --> 02:33:14.559
being in a wheelchair. It was like, it's not my

1851
02:33:14.719 --> 02:33:18.680
fault that I've also got to do weewies. I can't

1852
02:33:18.680 --> 02:33:20.680
do it in the hallway, can't do it in the bin.

1853
02:33:21.360 --> 02:33:25.079
We're in a hospital, supposed to be kind of sanitary,

1854
02:33:25.120 --> 02:33:29.280
isn't it. And it's quick. It's not like I had

1855
02:33:29.319 --> 02:33:33.600
to sit down, you know, I didn't. It's just like

1856
02:33:35.680 --> 02:33:41.000
probably half a minute if that. And they were nowhere

1857
02:33:41.040 --> 02:33:43.479
to be seen when I went in there, so I'm

1858
02:33:43.479 --> 02:33:47.559
taking I'm figuring it probably took them at least fifteen

1859
02:33:47.639 --> 02:33:51.239
seconds to get there, So they were waiting for fifteen seconds,

1860
02:33:51.760 --> 02:33:57.040
because that's that door started rattling, probably thirteen or fourteen

1861
02:33:57.120 --> 02:33:59.920
seconds before I'd finished. So at this point I was

1862
02:34:00.120 --> 02:34:06.719
in the shaken section of the adventure. I needed to

1863
02:34:06.799 --> 02:34:08.799
wash my hands, so I washed my hands. In anyway,

1864
02:34:08.840 --> 02:34:11.639
being in a hospital, I might have blowed me nose

1865
02:34:11.680 --> 02:34:13.600
as well, So maybe I didn't need to do that.

1866
02:34:13.719 --> 02:34:16.399
But it's always nice to get prepared for when I

1867
02:34:16.440 --> 02:34:22.479
go outside, just to make myself look nice and make

1868
02:34:22.520 --> 02:34:26.360
sure there's no drippages and stuff, and just yeah, make

1869
02:34:26.399 --> 02:34:28.600
sure my shirt covers that area in case there is.

1870
02:34:29.520 --> 02:34:31.959
And then I walk out and I'm faced with these

1871
02:34:32.239 --> 02:34:37.959
two angry faces. It's like, Okay, I think it's the

1872
02:34:38.000 --> 02:34:42.520
first time ever in my life that I've been caught.

1873
02:34:43.879 --> 02:34:48.760
And the weird thing about it, right is, I think

1874
02:34:48.920 --> 02:34:52.879
two days earlier or now remembe it was last week.

1875
02:34:53.200 --> 02:34:58.120
I went to use the toilet and the cleaner said,

1876
02:34:58.200 --> 02:35:01.000
I'll just choose the disabled ones. When these are closed,

1877
02:35:01.040 --> 02:35:06.120
you just have to use the sobered ones. And everyone

1878
02:35:06.200 --> 02:35:10.879
going in there was just every people, including nurses, doctors,

1879
02:35:10.920 --> 02:35:13.840
just anyone going in there and using them because there's

1880
02:35:13.920 --> 02:35:16.920
four empty toilets or five empty toilets, not just going

1881
02:35:16.959 --> 02:35:22.280
to leave walk the other side of the hospital, because

1882
02:35:22.319 --> 02:35:25.399
this is right near the exit of the building or

1883
02:35:25.440 --> 02:35:32.200
the entrance to the buildings exit and entrance. Yeah, this

1884
02:35:32.399 --> 02:35:41.440
is I mean, I I tell you, sand in your

1885
02:35:41.440 --> 02:35:48.120
sandwiches is an avoidable, unavoidable British beach memory and donkeys

1886
02:35:48.120 --> 02:35:56.520
on the beach are an English summer tradition. British people

1887
02:35:56.760 --> 02:35:59.840
rushed to the garden at the first site of so

1888
02:36:01.600 --> 02:36:03.719
I think you're getting a little bit caught up in

1889
02:36:04.079 --> 02:36:08.159
British people. Every single person in England they see some

1890
02:36:08.319 --> 02:36:10.719
sudden they rush into the garden. I'm not sure if

1891
02:36:10.719 --> 02:36:16.319
that's true. Socks and sandals are an infamous or infamous

1892
02:36:16.719 --> 02:36:27.200
English summer fashion fo par or fox pass. I don't.

1893
02:36:28.200 --> 02:36:32.120
I don't think there's anything wrong with having socks. What

1894
02:36:32.319 --> 02:36:37.639
I think it's discovered the stir the little old fly again,

1895
02:36:37.760 --> 02:36:43.760
bless him. Pubs spill out on pavements every summer evening.

1896
02:36:45.239 --> 02:36:50.079
That can happen, I definitely can happen. I remember there

1897
02:36:50.120 --> 02:36:52.840
was a pub in London just knew where the comedy

1898
02:36:52.840 --> 02:36:58.200
club that I used to be regularly at, and it

1899
02:36:58.280 --> 02:37:01.799
would be jam backed and this is a little road

1900
02:37:02.360 --> 02:37:04.319
that went all the way down and it was it

1901
02:37:04.440 --> 02:37:07.959
wasn't a big road, but the people would stand outside

1902
02:37:07.959 --> 02:37:13.120
the pub and there'd be hundreds of people outside. I'm

1903
02:37:13.200 --> 02:37:17.319
talking to a lot of people, and I went in

1904
02:37:17.319 --> 02:37:19.840
the pub once. I thought, it's got to be a

1905
02:37:19.840 --> 02:37:23.040
big pub if all those people are inside, then they

1906
02:37:23.079 --> 02:37:26.200
come outside in the summer. It wasn't big inside at all.

1907
02:37:26.520 --> 02:37:30.000
They just had more people visiting in the summer. And

1908
02:37:30.360 --> 02:37:34.639
it wasn't locals because it wasn't It was in the

1909
02:37:35.200 --> 02:37:41.079
middle of what's just near the the city center kind

1910
02:37:41.079 --> 02:37:44.559
of you know, the financial place near Liverpool Street. So

1911
02:37:44.639 --> 02:37:50.079
that wasn't a particularly residential place. It was the city,

1912
02:37:50.159 --> 02:37:54.879
it was the financial district, although Canary warforso was. But

1913
02:37:57.239 --> 02:37:59.239
there wasn't a lot going on at the weekend. Generally,

1914
02:37:59.360 --> 02:38:02.799
especially during the day, super busy during a week in

1915
02:38:02.840 --> 02:38:07.760
the daytime. Sometimes on a Saturday morning, you'd see oddly anyone.

1916
02:38:10.319 --> 02:38:13.719
People moan when it's cold, and they moan when it's

1917
02:38:13.760 --> 02:38:19.159
too hot. Yeah, I'm sure that's not just an English thing.

1918
02:38:21.360 --> 02:38:29.479
It's called moaning, although I imagine English people did invent it.

1919
02:38:30.239 --> 02:38:35.959
To be fair. Fans sell out in shops every time

1920
02:38:36.000 --> 02:38:40.040
there's a mini heat wave. Yeah, we're very it's a

1921
02:38:40.120 --> 02:38:48.239
very short term in this country. It's yeah, is if

1922
02:38:48.280 --> 02:38:51.200
you if you want to if the government right, if

1923
02:38:51.200 --> 02:38:55.600
there was suddenly a huge amount of bread, too much

1924
02:38:55.639 --> 02:39:00.559
bread's being made, and you know, I mean millions and

1925
02:39:00.639 --> 02:39:05.760
millions and millions of pounds worth of bread over made,

1926
02:39:05.920 --> 02:39:08.520
and all the bakeries got together and said, look what

1927
02:39:08.559 --> 02:39:10.440
we're going to do, because we're going to lose millions

1928
02:39:10.440 --> 02:39:13.520
of pounds over the next two days, because we're never

1929
02:39:13.559 --> 02:39:15.639
going to sell all this bread that we've accidentally made.

1930
02:39:16.200 --> 02:39:18.079
And they went to the government and told them, and

1931
02:39:18.159 --> 02:39:24.479
the government put out a warning saying bread shortage. Every

1932
02:39:26.840 --> 02:39:30.239
every single shop would sell out our bread. Within a

1933
02:39:30.239 --> 02:39:36.920
few hours, there'd be no bread left. So it's quite

1934
02:39:36.920 --> 02:39:42.479
clever the way it works. Water fights with host pipes

1935
02:39:42.559 --> 02:39:45.879
or balloons or a childhood staple. I tell you what

1936
02:39:46.040 --> 02:39:48.399
me and my two brother my two older brothers used

1937
02:39:48.440 --> 02:39:52.680
to do. There was this pond where used to have

1938
02:39:52.799 --> 02:39:54.799
like a boat rides in that down near the beach.

1939
02:39:55.239 --> 02:39:58.120
So we used to have buckets and we'd fill the

1940
02:39:58.440 --> 02:40:03.319
buckets up and just pour water over each other. And

1941
02:40:05.200 --> 02:40:07.319
sometimes we do it in the summer. It was great.

1942
02:40:09.440 --> 02:40:12.479
Paddling pools and ice lollies make even the simplest summer

1943
02:40:12.559 --> 02:40:18.719
day feel magical. Yeah, I suppose it's something I don't

1944
02:40:18.719 --> 02:40:23.159
really do because i don't have a paddling pool, and

1945
02:40:23.200 --> 02:40:27.799
I've got a kind of share a garden with the

1946
02:40:27.840 --> 02:40:31.079
other people that live in this area, so it's a

1947
02:40:31.120 --> 02:40:34.559
communal garden and it's not really a place to put

1948
02:40:34.559 --> 02:40:38.280
a paddling pool. Really, Whether I did, I did think

1949
02:40:38.319 --> 02:40:42.879
about doing something like that for this little one. I

1950
02:40:42.920 --> 02:40:44.799
thought it might be nice, But it's a lot of water,

1951
02:40:44.959 --> 02:40:50.440
isn't it to be fair? And I don't know if

1952
02:40:50.440 --> 02:40:55.399
it'd even want to do it because it doesn't like baths.

1953
02:40:56.120 --> 02:40:58.760
He avoids puddles. He will drink out of puddles, but

1954
02:40:58.799 --> 02:41:01.719
he doesn't he won't walk in a So I'm wondering

1955
02:41:01.760 --> 02:41:03.360
whether or not you'd even want to get into the

1956
02:41:03.399 --> 02:41:06.719
paddling pool? Would you? Would you get in the paddling pool?

1957
02:41:07.639 --> 02:41:09.120
Would you be a good girl and get in the

1958
02:41:09.120 --> 02:41:16.440
paddling pool with your auntie JJ? Would you? That? I

1959
02:41:16.479 --> 02:41:19.440
do believe is everything. I managed to get through all

1960
02:41:19.440 --> 02:41:23.639
one hundred pretty much. I missed out a couple that

1961
02:41:23.719 --> 02:41:26.920
were like there, but yeah, most of them are done.

1962
02:41:29.520 --> 02:41:33.879
So I want to say thank you for listening. And

1963
02:41:35.399 --> 02:41:37.040
I am going to do a Q and A Friday

1964
02:41:37.040 --> 02:41:42.079
this week, so maybe i'll put up I'll probably post

1965
02:41:42.120 --> 02:41:46.520
something on Wednesday tomorrow asking for questions on my Jason

1966
02:41:46.559 --> 02:41:52.000
Newland's boying group on Facebook. So thank you for listening.

1967
02:41:52.159 --> 02:41:56.000
Remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve

1968
02:41:56.040 --> 02:42:13.319
to be happy. Lots of love. Bye. Relax in a

1969
02:42:13.399 --> 02:42:24.280
more deep and meaningful way, Maybe in a way that

1970
02:42:24.440 --> 02:42:33.920
can not just allow you to feel calmer now and

1971
02:42:35.000 --> 02:42:43.360
throughout the time we spend together here, not just relaxed.

1972
02:42:45.600 --> 02:42:49.840
At the end of the recording, when it's finished, and

1973
02:42:49.879 --> 02:42:59.680
you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace. But

1974
02:42:59.799 --> 02:43:13.360
also I think it would be nice to have those

1975
02:43:13.719 --> 02:43:30.639
feelings of relaxation continue for longer after the recording has ended,

1976
02:43:35.719 --> 02:43:47.479
so that you can still benefit from listening to my voice,

1977
02:43:48.280 --> 02:43:59.680
maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then

1978
02:43:59.799 --> 02:44:07.879
by listening regularly, especially if you find like some people

1979
02:44:07.959 --> 02:44:12.200
do and myself as well. Sometimes I find one particular

1980
02:44:12.280 --> 02:44:22.319
recording that really resonates with me, and I just listen

1981
02:44:22.399 --> 02:44:27.680
to it over and over again every morning, every evening.

1982
02:44:35.319 --> 02:44:39.959
There was this recording from We're going back to about

1983
02:44:40.120 --> 02:44:45.360
nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a

1984
02:44:45.479 --> 02:44:54.920
guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really, and I

1985
02:44:55.000 --> 02:44:58.319
managed to find it again and it still has the

1986
02:44:58.360 --> 02:45:07.559
same effect on me. And part of it was the

1987
02:45:07.639 --> 02:45:20.959
person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful, and I'd

1988
02:45:20.959 --> 02:45:28.200
look forward to listening to her in the morning and

1989
02:45:28.280 --> 02:45:39.360
in the evening. And I knew before even pressing the

1990
02:45:39.399 --> 02:45:47.920
play button that since I've done that pressed the play button.

1991
02:45:48.680 --> 02:45:59.639
This was in the days of CD players pressed the

1992
02:45:59.680 --> 02:46:05.079
play button. In fact, it might have even been a

1993
02:46:05.159 --> 02:46:09.680
tap tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed, and

1994
02:46:09.719 --> 02:46:28.200
then even without necessarily listening to her words because I

1995
02:46:28.280 --> 02:46:35.799
had them memorized. Really, it was as if my body

1996
02:46:37.680 --> 02:46:51.079
knew exactly what to do, and the muscles just almost

1997
02:46:51.200 --> 02:47:11.600
went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind would

1998
02:47:11.680 --> 02:47:23.040
slow down. Now. Now, I was listening to this recording

1999
02:47:26.399 --> 02:47:32.440
in the early days of learning hypnosis, and long before

2000
02:47:34.040 --> 02:47:42.120
I ever made any videos or audio recordings myself, because

2001
02:47:42.120 --> 02:47:45.200
I didn't start doing that till two thousand and six,

2002
02:47:52.079 --> 02:48:08.040
I knew, I knew how helpful I found being able

2003
02:48:08.079 --> 02:48:17.159
to just let go, to have that trust in the

2004
02:48:17.239 --> 02:48:27.639
person that I'm listening to, knowing that it's going to

2005
02:48:27.680 --> 02:48:38.479
be just as relaxing, if not more so. Each time

2006
02:48:38.719 --> 02:48:51.239
you hear my voice, you may feel the same. Some

2007
02:48:51.559 --> 02:49:05.840
people have been listening to me for over a decade,

2008
02:49:06.600 --> 02:49:10.639
maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

2009
02:49:12.360 --> 02:49:22.239
but maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.

2010
02:49:30.639 --> 02:49:38.639
That's something that I do which you may not realize

2011
02:49:39.000 --> 02:49:57.600
by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now, for example,

2012
02:50:02.120 --> 02:50:14.200
I also am affected by the words that I say.

2013
02:50:15.200 --> 02:50:24.520
So if I set you focus on your feet, notice

2014
02:50:24.639 --> 02:50:31.840
your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet

2015
02:50:36.719 --> 02:50:54.120
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

2016
02:50:54.239 --> 02:51:01.879
focus on your hands and maybe notice the difference between

2017
02:51:02.000 --> 02:51:12.239
each hand. Perhaps notice the the air in the room,

2018
02:51:12.760 --> 02:51:24.360
the temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.

2019
02:51:25.399 --> 02:51:29.280
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

2020
02:51:29.399 --> 02:51:37.360
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

2021
02:51:37.879 --> 02:51:48.600
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

2022
02:51:50.959 --> 02:52:01.600
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

2023
02:52:01.920 --> 02:52:30.120
aware of how relaxed my hands our feeling now and

2024
02:52:30.280 --> 02:52:37.239
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

2025
02:52:37.280 --> 02:52:52.799
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

2026
02:52:53.680 --> 02:53:07.159
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

2027
02:53:15.040 --> 02:53:27.639
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

2028
02:53:32.520 --> 02:53:43.559
and then I carry on talking. It's only where I

2029
02:53:43.639 --> 02:53:53.079
listen back to do the editing, I hear snoring, and

2030
02:53:53.120 --> 02:54:00.360
I think I don't remember snoring. I remember taking can

2031
02:54:03.040 --> 02:54:10.040
is this snaw? Amy was a pig turned up? That's

2032
02:54:10.040 --> 02:54:17.520
why it sounds like when I snaw, how I get

2033
02:54:17.559 --> 02:54:31.600
really into the whole experience. I don't know how you feel.

2034
02:54:37.760 --> 02:54:44.360
How relaxed do you feel in your feet, How relaxed

2035
02:54:48.159 --> 02:55:09.280
you feel in your hands. I have noticed more and

2036
02:55:09.479 --> 02:55:28.399
more that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,

2037
02:55:32.000 --> 02:55:48.159
the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional

2038
02:55:51.319 --> 02:56:12.280
muscle relaxation. So this allows you h debreath easier without

2039
02:56:13.760 --> 02:56:44.639
necessarily focusing on your breath, however, being able to notice

2040
02:56:45.120 --> 02:57:14.879
the ease in which you breathe so naturally. You breathe

2041
02:57:15.399 --> 02:58:00.360
so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, HM,

2042
02:58:04.799 --> 02:58:18.159
when I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize

2043
02:58:20.280 --> 02:58:34.639
a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that

2044
02:58:36.680 --> 02:59:09.479
life giving oxygen. It feels nice two if nothing else,

2045
02:59:12.680 --> 02:59:46.799
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling

2046
02:59:47.200 --> 03:00:37.680
of peace serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to

2047
03:00:37.959 --> 03:01:13.079
just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply peaceful,

2048
03:01:23.000 --> 03:02:31.520
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

2049
03:02:32.239 --> 03:03:00.799
noticing that your mind has slowed down, slowed boded down

2050
03:03:23.239 --> 03:03:51.760
because nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the

2051
03:03:51.760 --> 03:04:03.719
physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip out of

2052
03:04:03.799 --> 03:04:23.840
your body, d appear out of every part of your body,

2053
03:04:33.799 --> 03:04:59.639
and being released from your brain in your mind m

2054
03:05:06.920 --> 03:05:50.840
slowly but surely, the muscles, sing, legs relax res re

2055
03:05:56.280 --> 03:06:37.000
so very deeply, relas so deeply, and the feelings, the

2056
03:06:37.159 --> 03:07:02.520
pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders, deepening each part

2057
03:07:02.639 --> 03:07:43.600
of your body further and deeper and deeper. Noticing the

2058
03:07:43.719 --> 03:08:45.079
feelings in the back of your neck, feelings in your wrists, muscles,

2059
03:08:47.159 --> 03:09:37.920
in front of your body. I also mhm feeling peaceful deeply.

2060
03:09:41.440 --> 03:09:51.719
There's a sense of peace spreads through your very core.

2061
03:10:22.280 --> 03:10:23.799
Even when you.

2062
03:10:26.719 --> 03:10:42.879
Focus on your mind, your mind becomes.

2063
03:10:49.520 --> 03:12:11.440
Be and slower, heven, deeper, relaxing, so very slow his

2064
03:12:11.840 --> 03:13:08.079
stomach pas for in your stomach, look back. Notice notice

2065
03:13:08.280 --> 03:13:26.680
how relaxed you'd now feel in the hole of your back.

2066
03:13:51.879 --> 03:13:53.040
Your spy.

2067
03:13:56.760 --> 03:14:01.520
Form your brain all the way down the middle of

2068
03:14:01.559 --> 03:14:13.280
your back, sending and receiving millions of messages every day,

2069
03:14:24.319 --> 03:15:44.079
deep comfort, increasing deeply relaxed, your knees, les, spreading those

2070
03:15:44.200 --> 03:15:53.440
signals down a spine or cord into air, every part

2071
03:15:53.799 --> 03:16:40.280
of your body, your shins and your calf muscles. We're outbos.

2072
03:16:56.479 --> 03:17:08.559
Feelings of peace mm hmm, and tranquility spreading through your body,

2073
03:17:13.520 --> 03:17:29.799
tips of your toes to your eyes, your fingers all

2074
03:17:29.799 --> 03:18:32.079
the way to your lower back. Lettinger retinker, peace, drifting

2075
03:18:39.520 --> 03:19:08.040
mind just wandering away. Happy to let go, Let go completely,

2076
03:19:10.399 --> 03:20:08.479

2078
03:22:32.079 --> 03:24:44.239
this space of peace and safety, so fury relaxed, letting go.

2079
03:25:02.319 --> 03:25:09.920
Maybe we can just focus on the different parts of

2080
03:25:10.040 --> 03:25:44.719
your body, just to notice your forehead and your eyes

2081
03:26:17.479 --> 03:28:17.719
uture so loose, noticing the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, drest, peace.

2082
03:28:17.479 --> 03:28:17.559
For.

2083
03:28:19.600 --> 03:30:04.200
Energy, peace to breathe, so much ease, Yeah LEAs you

2084
03:30:04.399 --> 03:30:54.280
may have or may not have noticed your mind drifting, peaceful,

2085
03:31:08.280 --> 03:31:29.600
move even more deeply in the direction of total blissful pace,

2086
03:31:33.760 --> 03:33:25.600
blissful pace, terreft go to pace. Come on, so cam

2087
03:33:36.959 --> 03:34:38.719
let him go, peace with mind rexed forty so relaxed,

2088
03:34:47.280 --> 03:35:35.680
so relaxed. Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed.

2089
03:35:39.120 --> 03:36:54.239
I'm peaceful, so pa so h leka or fair. And

2090
03:36:54.360 --> 03:37:01.680
you could start to notice that you feeling more relaxed,

2091
03:37:04.680 --> 03:37:14.520
even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon that

2092
03:37:15.760 --> 03:37:21.879
sense of physical comfort that is growing within you throughout

2093
03:37:21.959 --> 03:37:34.840
your body, and your mind starts to slow down and

2094
03:37:34.879 --> 03:37:42.399
that could be almost in recognition of I guess my

2095
03:37:42.639 --> 03:37:57.479
speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer.

2096
03:38:00.920 --> 03:38:08.920
Just by listening to my voice, you give yourself an

2097
03:38:08.920 --> 03:38:16.959
opportunity to take a break from the day, take a

2098
03:38:17.000 --> 03:38:24.639
break from your life as it is, and to give

2099
03:38:24.680 --> 03:38:32.840
yourself a rest, given yourself permission to take some time

2100
03:38:32.920 --> 03:38:40.520
off and to allow your body to relax and allow

2101
03:38:40.559 --> 03:38:50.920
your mind to slow down, which in turn releases the

2102
03:38:51.079 --> 03:39:00.440
tension and he stresses that you had in your body.

2103
03:39:01.520 --> 03:39:05.440
It's almost as if the parts of your body just

2104
03:39:05.680 --> 03:39:17.440
open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same

2105
03:39:17.520 --> 03:39:28.799
time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then

2106
03:39:29.000 --> 03:39:38.239
fills your body up and your mind to also starts

2107
03:39:38.280 --> 03:39:55.760
to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,

2108
03:39:57.799 --> 03:40:11.879
positive healing, an energy the spreads through your body like

2109
03:40:11.959 --> 03:40:22.280
a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just

2110
03:40:25.799 --> 03:40:34.600
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however

2111
03:40:34.680 --> 03:40:44.440
long you want it to be, to just rest and

2112
03:40:44.559 --> 03:40:54.600
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself

2113
03:40:57.440 --> 03:41:13.239
to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows

2114
03:41:13.600 --> 03:41:26.360
more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness. To move

2115
03:41:26.840 --> 03:41:35.680
around your body and into your mind, almost as if

2116
03:41:35.719 --> 03:41:45.520
your mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring

2117
03:41:46.280 --> 03:41:59.200
each other, with that growing positivity and calmness. And it

2118
03:41:59.239 --> 03:42:06.440
feels nice. Yes, it really does feel nice to know

2119
03:42:06.680 --> 03:42:15.600
that you are the one that has allowed yourself to

2120
03:42:15.799 --> 03:42:29.840
feel more comfort and to experience more of this deep

2121
03:42:30.239 --> 03:42:46.319
relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus on

2122
03:42:46.559 --> 03:42:52.280
each part of your body, you can notice that that

2123
03:42:52.600 --> 03:43:09.280
part becomes e and more relaxed just by focusing on it.

2124
03:43:09.280 --> 03:43:18.959
It becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing.

2125
03:43:23.000 --> 03:43:29.079
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

2126
03:43:31.440 --> 03:43:38.200
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

2127
03:43:38.360 --> 03:43:46.000
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

2128
03:43:46.040 --> 03:43:59.440
on or just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation

2129
03:43:59.719 --> 03:44:12.799
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going

2130
03:44:12.879 --> 03:44:19.840
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware

2131
03:44:20.120 --> 03:44:28.760
of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds

2132
03:44:30.479 --> 03:44:35.399
like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to

2133
03:44:35.520 --> 03:44:42.799
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

2134
03:44:45.920 --> 03:44:53.280
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

2135
03:44:54.719 --> 03:45:00.760
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

2136
03:45:01.280 --> 03:45:11.840
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

2137
03:45:12.040 --> 03:45:22.079
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

2138
03:45:22.120 --> 03:45:30.000
only on my voice and that part of your body.

2139
03:45:31.799 --> 03:45:41.520
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

2140
03:45:42.559 --> 03:45:52.280
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

2141
03:45:52.280 --> 03:45:58.760
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

2142
03:45:59.000 --> 03:46:13.479
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

2143
03:46:13.879 --> 03:46:20.559
your tongue, your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of

2144
03:46:20.680 --> 03:46:35.719
your mouth relaxing, calm and loose. As you focus now

2145
03:46:36.280 --> 03:46:43.159
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw

2146
03:46:43.319 --> 03:46:47.719
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way

2147
03:46:47.840 --> 03:46:54.159
up the side of your face to your ears, the

2148
03:46:54.440 --> 03:47:20.040
hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed and calm. Focusing

2149
03:47:22.399 --> 03:47:27.600
on your neck, the front of your neck and your

2150
03:47:27.680 --> 03:47:41.040
throat relaxing and loose and calm. The side of your neck,

2151
03:47:43.079 --> 03:47:51.360
the right and left side of your neck, relax and

2152
03:47:51.559 --> 03:48:05.239
loose and calm. And now the back of your neck.

2153
03:48:08.479 --> 03:48:18.520
Focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of

2154
03:48:18.680 --> 03:48:25.600
any tension that may have been there before, and enjoying

2155
03:48:25.959 --> 03:48:38.959
that sense of increasing comfort and release that you can

2156
03:48:39.000 --> 03:48:50.159
experience in the back of your neck, moving down your

2157
03:48:50.239 --> 03:48:57.600
back and moving either side of your spine right from

2158
03:48:57.639 --> 03:48:58.319
the top of.

2159
03:48:58.239 --> 03:48:59.200
Your back.

2160
03:49:00.719 --> 03:49:04.360
All the way down to the bottom of your back

2161
03:49:10.360 --> 03:49:21.639
down to your lower back. And as you move up

2162
03:49:21.719 --> 03:49:30.559
and down your spine, you can feel the muscles either

2163
03:49:30.680 --> 03:49:44.280
side of your spine relaxing even more. And as those

2164
03:49:44.399 --> 03:49:53.840
muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards

2165
03:49:55.399 --> 03:50:01.159
from your spine into both sides eads of your back,

2166
03:50:04.920 --> 03:50:08.639
the top of your back, the middle and your lower back.

2167
03:50:12.120 --> 03:50:19.319
And as you scan gently and slowly up and down

2168
03:50:19.479 --> 03:50:24.559
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your

2169
03:50:24.639 --> 03:50:34.600
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle

2170
03:50:34.600 --> 03:50:41.959
of your back also seem to just almost divide from

2171
03:50:42.000 --> 03:50:55.479
each other, separating and almost melting. And in your lower

2172
03:50:55.479 --> 03:51:06.239
back it seems to be an extra special feeling of

2173
03:51:06.440 --> 03:51:18.479
comfort that spreads into your hips sit down your lower back,

2174
03:51:18.760 --> 03:51:26.760
into your hips, into the area where your cosicks are,

2175
03:51:30.319 --> 03:51:37.799
and into your buttocks, and all those muscles that spread

2176
03:51:39.239 --> 03:51:48.959
from your lower back into your hip area start to melt,

2177
03:51:53.440 --> 03:52:06.360
start to really let go, and even nowhere about to

2178
03:52:06.440 --> 03:52:13.200
focus on your shoulders, your back and your spine will

2179
03:52:13.239 --> 03:52:34.479
continue to let go, continue to relax so calmly, and

2180
03:52:34.559 --> 03:52:39.760
as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice that

2181
03:52:39.760 --> 03:53:10.000
they're already feeding, really loose. They're already feeding ya calm

2182
03:53:10.120 --> 03:53:22.840
and fearing. Those muscles then move from your neck into

2183
03:53:22.879 --> 03:53:59.760
your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm.

2184
03:53:59.760 --> 03:54:12.760
The feeding in your shoulders seens to spread deep into

2185
03:54:12.799 --> 03:54:23.239
your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

2186
03:54:23.639 --> 03:54:40.600
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

2187
03:54:40.719 --> 03:54:49.520
all away to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area

2188
03:54:49.719 --> 03:54:54.799
between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms.

2189
03:54:58.920 --> 03:54:59.639
He Then.

2190
03:55:04.879 --> 03:55:17.920
You feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which

2191
03:55:18.159 --> 03:55:40.399
sends that deep healing message into your arms. You may

2192
03:55:40.639 --> 03:55:45.920
feel almost as if your arms are not even there,

2193
03:55:47.440 --> 03:56:39.520
because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm.

2194
03:56:24.399 --> 03:56:24.559
So.

2195
03:56:31.200 --> 03:56:46.319
Loose, not feeling spreading all the way down your arms,

2196
03:56:49.040 --> 03:57:18.079
two elbows, including your elbows circumforts spreads or away into

2197
03:57:18.120 --> 03:57:37.239
the rests of forearments, induists so heavy. Yet at the

2198
03:57:37.600 --> 03:58:24.959
same time, sunlight and gentle fork seve now on your hands,

2199
03:58:46.600 --> 03:59:18.239
my hands, so peaceful, in your hands. There's a sense

2200
03:59:18.399 --> 03:59:43.239
of real peace. It just seems to I feel so

2201
03:59:43.639 --> 04:00:19.920
familiar when your hands relax deeply fies. I thing is

2202
04:00:52.040 --> 04:01:57.639
you fingers slids you thing you tips, moving your attention

2203
04:01:59.000 --> 04:02:27.840
to the front, your body so comfortable, moving in your focus,

2204
04:02:29.879 --> 04:04:11.440
your legs, why my souls in your thighs, your knees,

2205
04:04:15.440 --> 04:06:53.239

04:06:54.840 --> 04:07:53.399

04:07:57.079 --> 04:08:27.440

2208
04:08:35.440 --> 04:08:42.479
loving that deep relaxation, to spread your chest in your

2209
04:08:42.559 --> 04:09:14.079
storch so RelA, letting go everything. So I'm gonna start

2210
04:09:14.120 --> 04:09:25.799
counting down now, from twenty down to one. You can

2211
04:09:25.879 --> 04:09:29.479
imagine in a way it's like just walking down some

2212
04:09:29.600 --> 04:09:35.559
steps and each step or twenty steps, and each step

2213
04:09:35.760 --> 04:09:48.600
represents a level of comfort. Each step represents a deepening

2214
04:09:50.520 --> 04:10:01.559
of that comfort, and the furvies walk down those steps,

2215
04:10:01.680 --> 04:10:14.159
the deeper and more relaxed you feel. So starting with

2216
04:10:14.360 --> 04:14:47.079
number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, s inteen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen,

2217
04:15:46.280 --> 04:23:49.719
four two two five eight nine hey, hey seven four

2218
04:25:04.879 --> 04:30:58.559
five four fo one. And now as you focus on

2219
04:30:58.600 --> 04:31:18.120
your eyes, we're gonna count down from ten down to one,

2220
04:31:18.479 --> 04:31:28.120
focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around

2221
04:31:28.200 --> 04:31:39.639
your eyes, your eye walls themselves, our whole area that

2222
04:31:39.840 --> 04:31:53.959
makes up your eye. And as we count down from

2223
04:31:54.079 --> 04:32:02.120
ten down to one, just to focus in on your eyes,

2224
04:32:08.440 --> 04:32:20.440
you'll become twice is relaxed with each number counting down,

2225
04:32:23.440 --> 04:32:30.559
and you may find the all you want to do

2226
04:32:30.920 --> 04:32:40.040
is just drift off to sleep. And if that's what

2227
04:32:40.159 --> 04:32:52.959
you want, then just allow yourself to do that. Now,

2228
04:32:55.639 --> 04:33:02.040
focus in on your eyes, omkay, to begin counting down

2229
04:33:03.559 --> 04:34:20.000
from ten down to one? Right now? Ten nine eight

2230
04:35:13.599 --> 04:42:32.240
seven four five four three two one. So counting down

2231
04:42:32.279 --> 04:42:47.799
from ten to one ten nine eight seven six five

2232
04:42:50.080 --> 04:43:07.840
four three two one. And maybe that was a bit

2233
04:43:07.880 --> 04:43:12.040
too quick in order to relax. Maybe it's a bit

2234
04:43:12.080 --> 04:43:20.799
too fast for you to notice the calming of your body,

2235
04:43:21.759 --> 04:43:26.360
maybe even a little bit of pressure there, like you're

2236
04:43:26.400 --> 04:43:29.200
counting down from ten to one. Would you expect me

2237
04:43:29.319 --> 04:43:32.799
to do? Man, expect me to stick go with floppy

2238
04:43:34.080 --> 04:43:42.240
just because you're counting down. We could try it again,

2239
04:43:43.560 --> 04:43:49.560
but this time I go this slower. This time as

2240
04:43:49.599 --> 04:43:54.560
you focus on the whole of your body before we

2241
04:43:54.720 --> 04:44:01.799
focus on your legs. Just notice how your body does

2242
04:44:03.520 --> 04:44:16.680
start to feel more relaxed with every number that I

2243
04:44:16.840 --> 04:45:23.360
count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four three.

2244
04:45:28.840 --> 04:46:01.720
Two one, And.

2245
04:46:01.840 --> 04:46:08.360
Just notice how how you feel, generally, how your body feels.

2246
04:46:14.680 --> 04:46:25.360
It's not necessarily even about counting down from ten to one.

2247
04:46:25.959 --> 04:46:40.279
It's that space that you have, that space between being

2248
04:46:42.919 --> 04:46:54.520
active physically or mentally to just sitting or lying down,

2249
04:46:55.159 --> 04:46:59.919
just being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, not

2250
04:47:00.799 --> 04:47:07.119
needing to think about anything. So it opens up a space,

2251
04:47:08.080 --> 04:47:17.240
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And

2252
04:47:17.319 --> 04:47:21.919
the more I came down from ten to one, the

2253
04:47:21.959 --> 04:47:30.159
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

2254
04:47:31.360 --> 04:47:47.520
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves

2255
04:47:48.599 --> 04:48:02.560
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.

2256
04:48:05.279 --> 04:48:18.040
Allows you to just slow down, someone to count again

2257
04:48:18.119 --> 04:48:24.360
from ten down to one, and notice that gap widening,

2258
04:48:26.479 --> 04:48:30.919
the gap, And as it widens, it's almost like the

2259
04:48:32.639 --> 04:48:50.240
stress and attention falls into the gap and gives you

2260
04:48:50.279 --> 04:49:32.759
that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six,

2261
04:49:45.479 --> 04:50:16.159
five four three.

2262
04:50:32.119 --> 04:51:01.840
Two one.

2263
04:51:02.560 --> 04:51:22.759
Now, how does your body feel now, can you notice

2264
04:51:23.000 --> 04:52:00.799
that the feeling calmer, the feeling more relaxed as we

2265
04:52:00.959 --> 04:52:21.279
now focus on your legs, just your legs. We're just

2266
04:52:21.319 --> 04:52:41.080
going to start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

2267
04:52:41.159 --> 04:52:46.040
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because

2268
04:52:49.520 --> 04:52:52.240
I'm sure, like most of your body is not a

2269
04:52:52.279 --> 04:53:04.720
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

2270
04:53:04.799 --> 04:53:11.240
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

2271
04:53:11.360 --> 04:53:18.439
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

2272
04:53:18.439 --> 04:53:23.360
and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh

2273
04:53:23.479 --> 04:53:32.279
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

2274
04:53:32.479 --> 04:53:46.479
your knee joint. Now, this is a big area. It's

2275
04:53:46.520 --> 04:53:52.080
a very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest

2276
04:53:53.000 --> 04:54:06.200
muscles in your body are in your thighs. But I

2277
04:54:06.279 --> 04:54:14.880
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

2278
04:54:20.520 --> 04:54:31.279
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

2279
04:54:31.439 --> 04:54:52.080
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

2280
04:54:52.159 --> 04:55:02.639
for our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,

2281
04:55:02.720 --> 04:55:11.200
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

2282
04:55:11.200 --> 04:55:18.840
our thighs, need some TLC a bit of love shown

2283
04:55:19.840 --> 04:55:37.799
a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what

2284
04:55:37.919 --> 04:55:47.080
our thighs do for us. And I know this may

2285
04:55:47.240 --> 04:55:53.959
sound is strange. Maybe you think, why am I surely

2286
04:55:53.959 --> 04:55:56.520
how I should be out in the garden hugging a

2287
04:55:56.599 --> 04:56:04.959
tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a microphone

2288
04:56:05.040 --> 04:56:08.119
up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.

2289
04:56:08.159 --> 04:56:11.680
Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. Now I

2290
04:56:11.720 --> 04:56:20.479
can't see the television from the tree. If you move

2291
04:56:20.560 --> 04:56:30.479
down to your knees getting such an important part, and

2292
04:56:30.479 --> 04:56:35.119
I think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here,

2293
04:56:37.400 --> 04:56:42.599
I don't necessarily appreciate all that my knees do for

2294
04:56:42.639 --> 04:56:49.159
me until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,

2295
04:56:49.159 --> 04:56:54.159
if I ever maybe i'll bash it or it's aching

2296
04:56:54.319 --> 04:57:00.799
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much

2297
04:57:00.840 --> 04:57:05.279
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to

2298
04:57:05.400 --> 04:57:15.400
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

2299
04:57:15.439 --> 04:57:24.279
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

2300
04:57:25.319 --> 04:57:32.439
You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

2301
04:57:34.479 --> 04:57:40.159
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that

2302
04:57:40.400 --> 04:57:46.599
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all

2303
04:57:46.680 --> 04:57:59.000
that they do for you, and you can still have

2304
04:57:59.040 --> 04:58:03.279
that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your

2305
04:58:03.319 --> 04:58:15.200
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more

2306
04:58:16.959 --> 04:58:28.720
deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,

2307
04:58:29.080 --> 04:58:34.520
your shins and your calf muscles and the bones between

2308
04:58:34.680 --> 04:58:40.880
your knees and your feet incorporate, and of course your

2309
04:58:40.919 --> 04:58:54.919
ankles so important. Anyone that's had even the slightest sprain

2310
04:58:55.040 --> 04:59:02.119
of an ankle knows how how much we take our

2311
04:59:02.200 --> 04:59:10.759
ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange in a

2312
04:59:10.799 --> 04:59:16.439
way when you think that. You know, logically, our wrists

2313
04:59:16.560 --> 04:59:19.880
are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms,

2314
04:59:20.520 --> 04:59:24.159
which is okay, it doesn't can't see any problem with

2315
04:59:24.159 --> 04:59:29.759
that because we're just picking stuff up. But our ankles

2316
04:59:31.400 --> 04:59:41.400
so much thinner than the rest of our legs, and

2317
04:59:41.479 --> 04:59:46.040
from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really

2318
04:59:46.080 --> 04:59:53.360
make sense that all this weight would ultimately be resting

2319
04:59:54.360 --> 05:00:04.360
on your ankles then leading to your feet. That thin area,

2320
05:00:05.520 --> 05:00:12.639
a thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work,

2321
05:00:14.599 --> 05:00:24.319
supports us, supports our body for a lifetime, helps us

2322
05:00:24.799 --> 05:00:34.200
to balance, helps you to get around and be mobile.

2323
05:00:40.520 --> 05:00:48.479
And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger,

2324
05:00:48.680 --> 05:00:51.759
I couldn't see the point in calf muscles. It didn't

2325
05:00:51.759 --> 05:00:57.200
seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,

2326
05:00:57.880 --> 05:01:01.759
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course

2327
05:01:01.799 --> 05:01:06.000
that's not true. The carved muscles are being used whenever

2328
05:01:06.040 --> 05:01:18.000
we use our legs, and your shins there to protect

2329
05:01:19.919 --> 05:01:28.599
your lower legs, shaped in a way, almost as a

2330
05:01:28.639 --> 05:01:41.080
protector for the bone, leading of course to your ankles

2331
05:01:44.319 --> 05:01:50.959
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on

2332
05:01:51.000 --> 05:01:53.200
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.

2333
05:01:55.040 --> 05:01:59.680
And I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet

2334
05:02:00.000 --> 05:02:04.880
probably focusing on them anyway, So maybe I should focus

2335
05:02:04.919 --> 05:02:10.799
on your feet a little bit. You can have them

2336
05:02:10.799 --> 05:02:16.599
in your awareness the same as you have your thighs

2337
05:02:16.639 --> 05:02:21.040
in your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing on

2338
05:02:21.080 --> 05:02:25.919
your thighs for a few minutes, let me focusing on

2339
05:02:25.959 --> 05:02:43.279
your ankles. There's still that sensation of comfort in your thighs,

2340
05:02:48.159 --> 05:02:55.520
and this that movement of energy because the thighs hold

2341
05:02:57.439 --> 05:03:03.000
lots of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles, the

2342
05:03:03.040 --> 05:03:15.560
big straw muscles that we have in our thighs. But

2343
05:03:15.680 --> 05:03:21.799
the skin on the outside of the thighs, as in

2344
05:03:21.840 --> 05:03:27.639
the outside of all of our body, can be very sensitive,

2345
05:03:31.479 --> 05:03:44.680
sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature. And inside your

2346
05:03:44.840 --> 05:03:52.319
thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,

2347
05:03:52.439 --> 05:04:00.119
the ar trees, it's all this stuff that's inside your thighs.

2348
05:04:02.520 --> 05:04:05.720
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could

2349
05:04:05.759 --> 05:04:11.360
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and a message,

2350
05:04:13.479 --> 05:04:17.040
so you can message on the outside, of course, but

2351
05:04:17.119 --> 05:04:20.240
to be able to get deep into the muscles, and

2352
05:04:20.319 --> 05:04:25.479
to be able to just message inside your thighs, message

2353
05:04:25.479 --> 05:04:33.560
in the bones of your leg, massage in all the

2354
05:04:33.720 --> 05:04:44.360
veins and just gently healing your thighs, and you could

2355
05:04:44.400 --> 05:04:51.360
move down message and inside your knees, just message in

2356
05:04:51.439 --> 05:04:58.799
those bones, but with healing fingertips spreading that healing energy

2357
05:04:59.520 --> 05:05:09.000
deep in to the joints of your knees. Of course,

2358
05:05:09.080 --> 05:05:12.439
there's the back of your your knee, you know, the

2359
05:05:12.560 --> 05:05:20.799
inside crease where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area,

2360
05:05:21.560 --> 05:05:25.959
very it feels very nice when you stroke it. That

2361
05:05:26.080 --> 05:05:29.799
might be because it's an area that's not really touched

2362
05:05:29.959 --> 05:05:36.560
very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that crease

2363
05:05:38.639 --> 05:05:43.159
in your legs. It's almost it's like a part that

2364
05:05:44.919 --> 05:05:56.200
has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,

2365
05:05:56.240 --> 05:06:06.759
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

2366
05:06:07.599 --> 05:06:17.279
your fingers into that crease in your legs, that fold

2367
05:06:17.400 --> 05:06:21.599
in between your legs. You can just message with your fingertips.

2368
05:06:22.720 --> 05:06:31.000
Imagine your fingertips going inside message in the muscle tissue.

2369
05:06:34.080 --> 05:06:38.560
You can of course feel the bones of your knees

2370
05:06:39.840 --> 05:06:50.360
heading through your fingertips, and then as you go down

2371
05:06:53.159 --> 05:06:56.000
to your calf muscles. Now that's the part I'd like

2372
05:06:56.080 --> 05:07:00.799
to be able to really put my fingertips de inside

2373
05:07:01.520 --> 05:07:10.520
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,

2374
05:07:12.040 --> 05:07:22.000
healing every part, and then doing the same for my shins,

2375
05:07:25.159 --> 05:07:32.080
massage in and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them,

2376
05:07:32.959 --> 05:07:37.159
healing in a loving way, because they deserve to be

2377
05:07:37.279 --> 05:07:44.520
treated as the precious bones that they are. Because our

2378
05:07:44.599 --> 05:07:48.200
legs are so precious as in all the other parts

2379
05:07:48.200 --> 05:07:55.880
of our body, they're more precious than any jure on

2380
05:07:56.000 --> 05:08:12.400
the planet. When you start to think about your legs

2381
05:08:12.439 --> 05:08:23.560
in this way, it can change your perspective. It might

2382
05:08:23.759 --> 05:08:30.479
sound a bit a bit silly to start with the

2383
05:08:30.520 --> 05:08:38.720
idea of having love for your legs, showing appreciation for

2384
05:08:38.799 --> 05:08:44.919
your thighs, wanting to be able to put your hands

2385
05:08:45.840 --> 05:08:52.720
in your thighs and massage the muscles and the bones,

2386
05:08:54.560 --> 05:08:59.599
and to get your fingers deep in there releasing add

2387
05:09:03.159 --> 05:09:11.959
just to show how much you care about your legs,

2388
05:09:12.639 --> 05:09:16.439
how much you care for what your legs do for

2389
05:09:16.560 --> 05:09:30.200
you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles. The strength

2390
05:09:30.319 --> 05:09:38.400
of your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to

2391
05:09:38.479 --> 05:09:45.240
the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're

2392
05:09:45.319 --> 05:09:57.639
so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are

2393
05:10:01.439 --> 05:10:06.720
truly a gift because of what they do for you,

2394
05:10:12.000 --> 05:10:19.000
supporting all that weight, regardless of how what weight you are,

2395
05:10:20.159 --> 05:10:24.720
even if you only eat ate stone, it's still a

2396
05:10:24.759 --> 05:10:31.400
lot of weight for these little ankles. Now, I'm a

2397
05:10:31.439 --> 05:10:39.639
lot heavier than eight stone double dout, yet my ankles

2398
05:10:41.400 --> 05:10:49.040
support my body all the time. Although they do give

2399
05:10:49.119 --> 05:10:54.840
off a sigh of relief when I sit down at

2400
05:10:54.880 --> 05:11:03.799
my whole legs do my feet fee also go and

2401
05:11:03.880 --> 05:11:31.639
my toes clap. They're so happy. Your legs really are amazing.

2402
05:11:34.200 --> 05:11:37.880
And I know that talking about talking about your legs

2403
05:11:37.959 --> 05:11:44.599
is probably possibly among the most most boring things you've

2404
05:11:44.599 --> 05:11:53.680
ever heard anyone say. Possibly they're boring or not, everything

2405
05:11:53.680 --> 05:12:09.279
I said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs

2406
05:12:09.319 --> 05:12:28.880
deserve not just respect, they deserve to relax deeply. They

2407
05:12:29.000 --> 05:12:34.319
deserve to take some time out of the day to

2408
05:12:34.520 --> 05:13:10.720
just let go completely. Your legs really can relax. And

2409
05:13:10.799 --> 05:13:14.799
because the legs are so such a most, you know,

2410
05:13:15.000 --> 05:13:20.959
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

2411
05:13:21.040 --> 05:13:28.279
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that

2412
05:13:32.000 --> 05:13:42.880
journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

2413
05:13:44.200 --> 05:13:51.360
My hips feel really loose, and also my lower back

2414
05:13:51.400 --> 05:13:58.040
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

2415
05:13:59.119 --> 05:14:02.240
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

2416
05:14:02.279 --> 05:14:07.560
no stretching as far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

2417
05:14:08.520 --> 05:14:11.119
But it's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed

2418
05:14:11.159 --> 05:14:16.759
so much that there is a natural stretch as the

2419
05:14:16.880 --> 05:14:39.200
tension has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to

2420
05:14:39.240 --> 05:14:46.759
count down from ten down to one, and you can

2421
05:14:46.799 --> 05:15:30.919
continue to feel wonderfully relaxed. Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two.

2422
05:15:32.799 --> 05:15:38.479
One.

2423
05:15:39.080 --> 05:15:51.080
Relax. So I'm just going to count down for five

2424
05:15:51.200 --> 05:15:55.479
down to one. And as a countdown, if you just

2425
05:15:55.560 --> 05:16:03.400
focus on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and

2426
05:16:03.560 --> 05:16:12.799
notice how you feel in this moment as you hear

2427
05:16:12.840 --> 05:16:20.479
the numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down

2428
05:16:20.599 --> 05:16:30.720
represent you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but

2429
05:16:30.759 --> 05:16:40.040
also relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel. There's

2430
05:16:40.119 --> 05:16:45.919
nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to

2431
05:16:46.000 --> 05:17:37.479
think about, starting with number five, four, three two one.

2432
05:17:38.479 --> 05:17:50.720
As you notice the gradual letting go of the tension

2433
05:17:50.959 --> 05:17:58.159
in your body, you may also begin to notice and

2434
05:17:58.240 --> 05:18:07.279
be aware of how your mind is starting to slow down.

2435
05:18:09.759 --> 05:18:16.119
This is just a natural thing that happens. It's not

2436
05:18:16.319 --> 05:18:21.560
really a special procedure. It's just natural because as your

2437
05:18:22.799 --> 05:18:28.880
body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax. And the

2438
05:18:28.880 --> 05:18:32.639
more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's

2439
05:18:32.680 --> 05:18:43.000
just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there is that

2440
05:18:44.159 --> 05:18:52.040
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

2441
05:18:52.040 --> 05:18:58.560
if there's background sounds either your side or mind, it's

2442
05:18:58.720 --> 05:19:04.639
still going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't

2443
05:19:04.639 --> 05:19:09.639
got the television on. There's no music in the background

2444
05:19:09.680 --> 05:19:12.439
unless you're listening to the recording. With music, of course,

2445
05:19:17.240 --> 05:19:19.400
you're very likely not going to be sitting in a

2446
05:19:19.520 --> 05:19:22.680
room with other people. Of course you might be, but

2447
05:19:23.919 --> 05:19:27.240
generally it's more ideal if you can do this on

2448
05:19:27.279 --> 05:19:38.639
your own, so no distractions, and when you stop thinking

2449
05:19:38.680 --> 05:19:55.880
about stuff, relaxation automatically rises, a sense of comfort starts

2450
05:19:55.919 --> 05:20:04.720
to grow, and without trying to build it up into

2451
05:20:04.759 --> 05:20:17.240
something fantastical or something magical, this is just a natural process,

2452
05:20:19.240 --> 05:20:30.000
something that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost know.

2453
05:20:30.080 --> 05:20:36.959
The sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

2454
05:20:37.080 --> 05:20:41.000
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

2455
05:20:41.080 --> 05:20:52.840
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

2456
05:20:53.119 --> 05:21:03.319
the process of this recording and others is simply two

2457
05:21:04.919 --> 05:21:15.400
allow you to take advantage of this space, this time,

2458
05:21:18.319 --> 05:21:29.240
to just let go, to just be here, to be

2459
05:21:29.840 --> 05:21:43.279
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

2460
05:21:45.479 --> 05:21:56.919
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,

2461
05:21:58.119 --> 05:22:03.360
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself

2462
05:22:05.040 --> 05:22:20.159
in this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority

2463
05:22:21.360 --> 05:22:25.840
of the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep

2464
05:22:25.880 --> 05:22:32.880
part is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper

2465
05:22:34.000 --> 05:22:46.799
relaxed do you become, the easier you find yourself drifting.

2466
05:22:56.400 --> 05:23:03.040
You can also, if you choose stay focused on my

2467
05:23:03.200 --> 05:23:31.240
voice and really enjoy the process of gradually relaxing each

2468
05:23:31.720 --> 05:23:58.319
muscle in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation

2469
05:24:03.560 --> 05:24:19.240
of letting go completely. This time, I'm going to count

2470
05:24:19.279 --> 05:24:29.360
from six down to one, and you can notice your

2471
05:24:29.560 --> 05:24:39.880
mind calming down more with each number that you hear

2472
05:24:40.200 --> 05:27:28.520
me say, naturally, feeling calm and slow and peaceful, six, five, four, three, one,

2473
05:27:49.639 --> 05:27:59.279
being aware of how your mind to slowed right down,

2474
05:28:02.479 --> 05:28:25.919
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

2475
05:28:26.159 --> 05:28:38.680
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,

2476
05:28:38.720 --> 05:28:48.279
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

2477
05:28:48.360 --> 05:29:03.560
your attention. That's what you can do is send love

2478
05:29:03.759 --> 05:29:17.400
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love like all

2479
05:29:17.560 --> 05:29:23.240
petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals

2480
05:29:23.240 --> 05:29:30.520
filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts

2481
05:29:30.680 --> 05:29:37.520
know that you're not abandoned in them. You just need them.

2482
05:29:38.720 --> 05:29:49.840
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet,

2483
05:29:50.159 --> 05:30:05.560
down for now, So as you focus on those remaining

2484
05:30:05.720 --> 05:30:11.000
thoughts as we count down this time from seven down

2485
05:30:11.040 --> 05:30:20.159
to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower

2486
05:30:20.279 --> 05:30:39.360
petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which will

2487
05:30:39.400 --> 05:30:49.400
allow them to just melt away and relax deeply. With

2488
05:30:49.520 --> 05:31:03.799
every number, those thoughts will become more and more relaxed,

2489
05:31:09.360 --> 05:33:35.119
starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

2490
05:33:40.439 --> 05:34:04.599
and needing. Now, notice how relaxed your feeling in your body.

2491
05:34:06.520 --> 05:34:19.720
We're going to focus on your hands, because the more

2492
05:34:19.840 --> 05:34:26.919
relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body and

2493
05:34:27.159 --> 05:34:48.880
mind are. And you focus on your hands and your fingers,

2494
05:34:54.279 --> 05:34:59.040
there's nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching of

2495
05:34:59.319 --> 05:35:11.400
fists or dancing the fingers or anything like that. It's

2496
05:35:11.560 --> 05:35:26.200
just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

2497
05:35:40.759 --> 05:35:51.400
Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the calmer your

2498
05:35:51.479 --> 05:36:07.360
mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout your body.

2499
05:36:09.319 --> 05:36:43.400
You may have already noticed your mind is starting to dressed,

2500
05:36:57.080 --> 05:37:12.599
facing just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to

2501
05:37:15.040 --> 05:37:26.599
experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands

2502
05:37:26.639 --> 05:37:52.720
and fingers more and more relaxed. With each number from

2503
05:37:52.840 --> 05:38:06.279
eight down to one, you can almost feel that healing

2504
05:38:07.680 --> 05:38:23.599
and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming

2505
05:38:24.040 --> 05:38:40.919
year more relaxing with each number you hear, going down

2506
05:38:42.439 --> 05:39:01.200
from eight down to one, drifting, drifting again, starting with

2507
05:39:05.759 --> 05:43:01.479
number eight, seven, six, five, four three thoo. Just being

2508
05:43:01.799 --> 05:43:12.159
here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing

2509
05:43:12.240 --> 05:43:26.119
to say, and everything just feels calmer. And this is

2510
05:43:27.159 --> 05:43:33.959
your natural state of being. This is how you just

2511
05:43:35.040 --> 05:43:41.680
normally feel when you take away all that other stuff

2512
05:43:43.959 --> 05:43:48.840
that we add, you know, things like stress and worrying

2513
05:43:49.040 --> 05:44:04.599
and overthinking and anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff.

2514
05:44:06.520 --> 05:44:10.040
When you take that away, which is what we do

2515
05:44:10.599 --> 05:44:22.560
what we do now, you're left with a real sense

2516
05:44:23.119 --> 05:44:35.680
of peacefulness which comes to you very quickly because ultimately

2517
05:44:36.279 --> 05:44:49.959
it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort. It's almost

2518
05:44:50.040 --> 05:44:53.680
as if you've gone inside yourself and you've found a

2519
05:44:53.840 --> 05:45:07.880
special place where everything is peaceful, a place where you

2520
05:45:07.959 --> 05:45:18.520
can feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort, a

2521
05:45:18.599 --> 05:45:27.159
place where you can be you, where you can accept

2522
05:45:27.240 --> 05:45:33.400
yourself for who you are, a place where you're not

2523
05:45:33.479 --> 05:45:44.000
trying to please anybody else ever, a place where you

2524
05:45:44.080 --> 05:45:53.720
can actually not just love yourself, but in some ways

2525
05:45:53.720 --> 05:46:02.880
more importantly, you can like yourself appreciate who you are,

2526
05:46:11.560 --> 05:46:17.759
and that sense of gratitude is in the air all

2527
05:46:17.799 --> 05:46:31.319
around you. That's also a place where you can actually

2528
05:46:31.759 --> 05:46:46.400
feel the healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy

2529
05:46:47.360 --> 05:46:58.720
soaking into your body, and that healing energy spreads through

2530
05:46:58.759 --> 05:47:09.639
your veins, traveling to each and every single part of

2531
05:47:09.680 --> 05:47:19.520
your body, and you start to realize that actually that

2532
05:47:19.799 --> 05:47:28.560
healing energy, it's not just entered into your brain, it's

2533
05:47:28.639 --> 05:47:40.599
become part of your brain, and that spinal fluid is

2534
05:47:40.680 --> 05:47:51.639
now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you to

2535
05:47:51.959 --> 05:47:59.599
feel so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment,

2536
05:48:04.040 --> 05:48:13.520
but also you start to realize to actually, what's happening

2537
05:48:13.720 --> 05:48:24.319
now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body's

2538
05:48:24.520 --> 05:48:35.319
actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're

2539
05:48:35.400 --> 05:48:41.880
going to feel not just now, but tomorrow and the

2540
05:48:41.959 --> 05:48:51.400
next day. As your health improves, not just your physical

2541
05:48:51.439 --> 05:48:59.080
health but your mental health. Things that used to bother

2542
05:48:59.159 --> 05:49:06.279
you in the past, for some reason, no longer have

2543
05:49:06.479 --> 05:49:13.799
the effect that they used to because something has changed

2544
05:49:15.319 --> 05:49:26.560
deep within you. Maybe things that used to cause you

2545
05:49:26.639 --> 05:49:39.000
to feel anger. No longer have that power to control

2546
05:49:39.119 --> 05:49:44.119
you the way they seem to be able to before,

2547
05:49:47.759 --> 05:49:58.720
as you realize that you're the one who decides what

2548
05:49:58.919 --> 05:50:10.639
affects you, You're the one who decides to feel relaxed

2549
05:50:11.479 --> 05:50:24.360
and calm when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural

2550
05:50:25.319 --> 05:50:38.680
developments of healing, continuing to grow and improve your life

2551
05:50:40.040 --> 05:50:51.919
day by day, including of course, your ability to relax

2552
05:50:52.520 --> 05:51:07.040
so much easier and sleep in. It's the most natural

2553
05:51:07.200 --> 05:51:17.840
thing in the world to you, because falling asleep is

2554
05:51:17.880 --> 05:51:28.639
something that you've done so many times in your life,

2555
05:51:29.279 --> 05:51:33.360
and you know that you were born, as we all were,

2556
05:51:34.119 --> 05:51:44.319
with the ability to fall asleep naturally. We were born

2557
05:51:45.400 --> 05:51:55.880
with that ability to just drift off into a deep,

2558
05:51:57.119 --> 05:52:08.919
healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep

2559
05:52:08.959 --> 05:52:12.880
when we don't even want to try to take a

2560
05:52:13.119 --> 05:52:17.520
stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in the morning, or

2561
05:52:17.520 --> 05:52:21.880
it's Christmas or holiday or something we look forward to.

2562
05:52:22.360 --> 05:52:26.439
We don't want to go to sleep. But the more

2563
05:52:26.959 --> 05:52:31.880
we want to stay awake, the more we just start

2564
05:52:31.959 --> 05:52:40.279
to drift. And the more you fight drifting, the more

2565
05:52:40.319 --> 05:52:45.080
you try and stop yourself and drift in asleep, the

2566
05:52:45.240 --> 05:52:57.200
deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not

2567
05:52:57.400 --> 05:53:03.560
just with the need to relax deeply and to naturally

2568
05:53:03.639 --> 05:53:13.799
fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA.

2569
05:53:20.840 --> 05:53:25.919
And sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at

2570
05:53:26.080 --> 05:53:39.279
times we have forgotten that relaxing completely is not only

2571
05:53:40.439 --> 05:54:04.639
a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very,

2572
05:54:04.759 --> 05:54:11.080
very easy to let go, because that's all it is.

2573
05:54:11.159 --> 05:54:25.959
It's just deciding to let go. And when you press

2574
05:54:26.159 --> 05:54:34.319
the play button on my recordings, you have given permission

2575
05:54:36.680 --> 05:54:44.400
for my voice to relax you. When you press that

2576
05:54:44.560 --> 05:54:54.080
play button, you've given me permission for my words to

2577
05:54:54.240 --> 05:55:08.840
affect you in a positive, only a positive way, opening

2578
05:55:08.919 --> 05:55:32.240
up your mind to useful and healing suggestions that can

2579
05:55:32.479 --> 05:55:44.639
have such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,

2580
05:55:49.240 --> 05:55:59.119
as well as those changes that continue long after the

2581
05:55:59.200 --> 05:56:10.599
recording ends. Those changes within you to continue to flourish

2582
05:56:10.720 --> 05:56:25.319
and grow, transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way,

2583
05:56:28.400 --> 05:56:35.560
allowing you to move forward in your life in the

2584
05:56:35.560 --> 05:56:52.840
direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling, this

2585
05:56:53.119 --> 05:57:08.759
feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness, just

2586
05:57:08.959 --> 05:57:22.639
feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

2587
05:57:30.520 --> 05:57:47.319
and that positivity grows within you each and every day.

2588
05:57:47.360 --> 05:57:57.159
Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed

2589
05:57:59.479 --> 05:58:11.840
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's

2590
05:58:11.919 --> 05:58:17.479
not that you're thinking slower. It's just that your mind

2591
05:58:17.560 --> 05:58:29.439
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from

2592
05:58:29.520 --> 05:58:39.799
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're

2593
05:58:39.840 --> 05:58:50.720
going to start noticing when negativity arises, and you can

2594
05:58:50.880 --> 05:59:04.880
just say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn around

2595
05:59:05.400 --> 05:59:24.840
and leave you alone. Stop and that negativity will disappear.

2596
05:59:32.959 --> 05:59:39.439
And as you notice that you feel way more relaxed

2597
05:59:40.840 --> 05:59:56.240
than you probably expected, you could now congratulate yourself because

2598
05:59:56.400 --> 06:00:02.840
you're the person that has done this. You are the

2599
06:00:02.919 --> 06:00:08.040
one that has opened your mind up to the simple

2600
06:00:08.240 --> 06:00:16.200
facts that you can feel more relaxed in your body

2601
06:00:16.799 --> 06:00:26.119
and in your mind. You've opened your mind up to

2602
06:00:28.439 --> 06:00:35.040
the birthright of being able to just fall asleep easily

2603
06:00:36.040 --> 06:00:50.119
when you choose. And that's a nice feeling. Don't you

2604
06:00:50.159 --> 06:01:00.360
think it feels nice? Doesn't it to feel calm mm hmm.

2605
06:01:01.520 --> 06:01:06.200
All that healing energy is spreading through your body and

2606
06:01:06.240 --> 06:01:18.560
your mind to spend time in a special place where

2607
06:01:21.439 --> 06:01:35.080
negativity can no longer enter. Negativity is banned. It's bad,

2608
06:01:36.520 --> 06:01:43.319
it's not allowed entry doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve

2609
06:01:43.400 --> 06:01:50.959
to be here. It doesn't belong here. Negativity has no

2610
06:01:51.240 --> 06:02:06.400
place in your life. Which makes room feel more comfort,

2611
06:02:08.319 --> 06:02:38.319
more healing, more relaxation, more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it.

2612
06:02:38.759 --> 06:03:02.240
Just let go with everything. I'm going to count down

2613
06:03:02.400 --> 06:03:11.119
now from twenty down to one. You can continue to relax,

2614
06:03:13.119 --> 06:03:24.360
and if you choose, you can drift to sleep. With

2615
06:03:24.479 --> 06:03:35.680
every number you hear me say, you can fill twice

2616
06:03:35.720 --> 06:03:42.880
as relaxed, or if you choose, you can feel twice

2617
06:03:43.119 --> 06:05:27.759
a sleepy now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thteen, eleven.

2618
06:05:22.439 --> 06:06:05.200
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.

2619
06:06:11.720 --> 06:06:54.200
Foh, this is your time to just take a break,

2620
06:06:55.040 --> 06:07:11.479
your time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,

2621
06:07:14.799 --> 06:07:28.880
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything.

2622
06:07:33.720 --> 06:07:38.040
En you. You're the only person that can make that decision.

2623
06:07:40.919 --> 06:07:44.159
You're the only person that can actually tell your mind

2624
06:07:48.439 --> 06:08:12.840
to just relax, to just take some time off so

2625
06:08:12.880 --> 06:08:17.759
that you can focus on your body, getting in touch

2626
06:08:18.000 --> 06:08:35.439
with how you feel physically, and in the process of

2627
06:08:35.479 --> 06:08:40.279
this body scan where you focus on different parts of

2628
06:08:40.319 --> 06:08:51.119
your body, those parts that you focus on and observe,

2629
06:08:54.080 --> 06:09:02.479
even though you're not purposely requesting for those parts of

2630
06:09:02.520 --> 06:09:10.080
your body to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect

2631
06:09:11.400 --> 06:09:19.080
when you listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally,

2632
06:09:24.560 --> 06:09:33.040
because when you're listening to me, your attention is focused

2633
06:09:34.720 --> 06:09:45.959
on my words, and as my words guide you to

2634
06:09:46.080 --> 06:09:58.479
focus on those parts of your body, your focus increases,

2635
06:10:05.560 --> 06:10:22.000
which actually calms your mind. And when your mind calms down,

2636
06:10:26.799 --> 06:10:48.919
your body relaxes. And when your body calms down, your

2637
06:10:49.040 --> 06:11:05.919
mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started the

2638
06:11:06.040 --> 06:11:18.759
focus on your body, you can already feel that healing

2639
06:11:18.959 --> 06:11:33.479
energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,

2640
06:11:37.599 --> 06:11:44.919
healing all the parts of your body, including your skin,

2641
06:11:46.040 --> 06:11:53.000
your bones, your blood, all of your organs inside your body,

2642
06:11:54.360 --> 06:12:01.159
all of the muscles, all of the fat, or of everything,

2643
06:12:02.959 --> 06:12:15.720
every hair on your body is filled with that healing energy.

2644
06:12:17.200 --> 06:12:32.959
And when your brain fills with that healing energy, the

2645
06:12:33.159 --> 06:12:57.599
feeling of comfort and relaxation increases deeply increases in a

2646
06:12:57.680 --> 06:13:17.119
way that your mind starts to feel perhaps bit drowsy,

2647
06:13:17.840 --> 06:13:28.360
because it's not needed, and it may start to drift

2648
06:13:37.159 --> 06:13:44.040
if that's what's needed. So if you're listening to this

2649
06:13:45.919 --> 06:13:50.200
and what you need is deep relaxation, that's what you'll get.

2650
06:13:52.360 --> 06:13:59.279
If what you need is to fall asleep naturally and

2651
06:13:59.400 --> 06:14:08.040
easily as your mind drifts, that's also what will happen.

2652
06:14:13.720 --> 06:14:21.479
Because by pressing that play button on the podcast and

2653
06:14:21.759 --> 06:14:28.119
listening to me, you give permission for your body and

2654
06:14:28.200 --> 06:14:40.240
your mind. In fact, you give the command to your

2655
06:14:40.279 --> 06:14:51.599
body and your mind to relax deeply and to drift

2656
06:14:51.720 --> 06:15:00.799
off to sleep if that's what you want or need.

2657
06:15:08.319 --> 06:15:17.720
And as I focus on the different parts of your body,

2658
06:15:18.919 --> 06:15:27.799
you may start to just drift. And then you come

2659
06:15:27.840 --> 06:15:33.119
back again and you hear me talking, and I'm focusing

2660
06:15:33.279 --> 06:15:44.119
on a different part of your body. You may find

2661
06:15:44.240 --> 06:15:52.840
yourself drifting, but you don't realize you're drifting until you

2662
06:15:53.040 --> 06:16:01.400
stop drifting and you're alert again to my voice. Focusing

2663
06:16:02.520 --> 06:16:07.360
on a different part of your body starts to relax

2664
06:16:07.520 --> 06:16:20.040
even deeper, because that drifting is basically you already in

2665
06:16:20.119 --> 06:16:31.200
the sleep zone. And the more you drift, the longer you drift,

2666
06:16:32.639 --> 06:16:43.319
and the longer you drift, eventually that drifting continues into sleep,

2667
06:16:48.319 --> 06:16:53.200
and that's the last you remember until you wake up

2668
06:16:57.599 --> 06:17:02.799
in your own time, when you experience the right amount

2669
06:17:02.880 --> 06:17:11.880
of sleep. Fear, because when you do and if you

2670
06:17:11.959 --> 06:17:26.119
do fall asleep, it's extremely pleasant, so relaxing, so deep

2671
06:17:27.560 --> 06:17:45.599
healing sleep. I'm going to feel so nice to relax

2672
06:17:45.840 --> 06:17:54.680
into your own body and mind as you as you

2673
06:17:54.880 --> 06:18:02.799
feel that healing energy is spreading through you. Relaxing is

2674
06:18:02.840 --> 06:18:24.400
so deeply relaxing new, so so deeply. As we start

2675
06:18:24.599 --> 06:18:40.639
to focus on your eyes, moving down to your jaw,

2676
06:18:48.520 --> 06:19:30.959
down to your neck, your shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, your chest,

2677
06:19:37.000 --> 06:20:11.400
his stomach, your back, his spine, your hips, your legs,

2678
06:20:18.919 --> 06:20:54.720
your feet, your toes, and feeling iseings spreading and groaning

2679
06:20:56.279 --> 06:21:08.680
inside your body, feeling you up. Now let's focus again

2680
06:21:10.959 --> 06:21:18.319
on parts of your body. Okay, focusing this time on

2681
06:21:18.360 --> 06:21:31.279
your forehead. Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

2682
06:21:34.439 --> 06:21:56.279
the whole of your mouth. Focusing on your fingers. Maybe

2683
06:21:56.599 --> 06:22:02.360
you could move your fingers a little. You can focus

2684
06:22:02.400 --> 06:22:16.959
on each one individually, both hands, and even though as

2685
06:22:17.000 --> 06:22:22.240
you focus on both of your hands now they almost

2686
06:22:22.360 --> 06:22:30.599
seem to just melt into one. Where is your right

2687
06:22:30.639 --> 06:22:38.279
hand start and your left hand end? Almost as if

2688
06:22:40.959 --> 06:22:57.400
just mixed together. Now, focusing on your knees, just noticing

2689
06:22:57.680 --> 06:23:21.680
how your knees fell. Now, focusing on your elbows, focusing

2690
06:23:21.919 --> 06:23:36.200
on both of your elbows, just observing the feeling of

2691
06:23:36.400 --> 06:24:08.119
your elbows. Now focusing and observing the back of your neck,

2692
06:24:18.040 --> 06:24:55.799
feeding the energy on the back of your neck, Observing

2693
06:24:58.040 --> 06:25:17.400
your ankles, being aware of physical sensations in your ankles,

2694
06:26:17.400 --> 06:26:36.479
noticing now your toes on both of your feet, being

2695
06:26:36.560 --> 06:27:21.599
aware how your toes fear. Right now, m NTE sin

2696
06:27:31.799 --> 06:28:03.080
hw you entire body feels noticing your mind fails. Now

2697
06:28:20.840 --> 06:29:03.479
letting go, letting go, letting go everything, letting go, letting go,

2698
06:29:11.200 --> 06:29:38.799
letting go everything everything. I'm going to start now, and

2699
06:29:39.040 --> 06:29:40.720
I would like you just, first of all, just to

2700
06:29:40.919 --> 06:29:48.919
see yourself lying down on that message table, lying on

2701
06:29:48.959 --> 06:29:53.959
your front. Your head is supported, your arms are supported,

2702
06:29:58.439 --> 06:30:04.759
and you feel comfortable and breathing. It's really easy, and

2703
06:30:04.880 --> 06:30:11.759
you feel you feel confident in how you look as well.

2704
06:30:11.799 --> 06:30:16.759
So there's none of that issue of body problems or shyness,

2705
06:30:17.360 --> 06:30:25.520
because I'm a professional and this is a therapy session,

2706
06:30:26.279 --> 06:30:34.279
so none of that stuff matters whatsoever. This is about you.

2707
06:30:37.080 --> 06:30:43.000
This is about how you feel and how you can

2708
06:30:44.319 --> 06:30:50.119
enjoy that sense of comfort and relaxation that comes from

2709
06:30:51.319 --> 06:30:57.080
letting go and allowing my hands and my fingers to

2710
06:30:57.119 --> 06:31:08.560
relax you by a message your body. So I want

2711
06:31:08.599 --> 06:31:13.560
to start off just by placing my hands on the

2712
06:31:13.599 --> 06:31:18.799
back of your head, just gently, just so you can feel, well,

2713
06:31:18.880 --> 06:31:27.360
my hands feel like really on you. So you can

2714
06:31:27.360 --> 06:31:29.720
maybe feel the warmth of my hands on the back

2715
06:31:29.759 --> 06:31:35.240
of your head. And with my hands to the side

2716
06:31:35.279 --> 06:31:39.880
of your head, not pressing, but just holding there very gently,

2717
06:31:42.840 --> 06:31:45.880
maybe over your ears, and a little bit on your face,

2718
06:31:47.080 --> 06:31:52.360
just so you can feel my hands so you can

2719
06:31:52.400 --> 06:32:05.639
become accustomed to them. And now put my hands on

2720
06:32:05.680 --> 06:32:09.959
the back of your head again and gently let them

2721
06:32:10.080 --> 06:32:22.439
slide down onto the back of your neck. You can

2722
06:32:22.479 --> 06:32:32.599
feel my hands gently stroking the back of your neck

2723
06:32:32.799 --> 06:32:39.279
to start with, just so you can get used to

2724
06:32:39.400 --> 06:32:44.759
the feeling with my hands on your skin, get accustomed

2725
06:32:44.840 --> 06:32:53.000
to realize that you're safe and it's all good, it's

2726
06:32:53.080 --> 06:33:03.279
all fine. And I'm going to start gently massaging the

2727
06:33:03.400 --> 06:33:20.080
muscles in the back of your neck with both hands. Now,

2728
06:33:20.080 --> 06:33:26.400
this is a very trusting situation, really, because our necks

2729
06:33:26.400 --> 06:33:30.880
are so fragile and to have someone have their hands

2730
06:33:31.439 --> 06:33:36.439
around your neck in that way can sometimes be problematic

2731
06:33:36.520 --> 06:33:42.119
for people, which is why massages are quite good because

2732
06:33:42.119 --> 06:33:50.759
it allows you to relax and to get in touch

2733
06:33:50.919 --> 06:34:07.840
with trust, to feel peaceful and calm. And there's a

2734
06:34:07.919 --> 06:34:16.680
massage the sides of your neck gently moving from the

2735
06:34:16.720 --> 06:34:20.560
bottom of your neck. It would be sort of near

2736
06:34:20.599 --> 06:34:23.959
where your shoulders start, I guess, all the way up

2737
06:34:25.959 --> 06:34:31.439
to your jaw, your ears, kind of area that side

2738
06:34:31.439 --> 06:34:36.520
of your neck. Of course, it's a lot longer than

2739
06:34:36.840 --> 06:34:51.880
the front of your neck. And then message in the

2740
06:34:52.639 --> 06:35:00.439
back of your neck, especially that area where as we

2741
06:35:00.560 --> 06:35:08.680
hold tension and as that area's message, you can actually

2742
06:35:08.759 --> 06:35:12.599
feel a sense of release in the back of your

2743
06:35:12.639 --> 06:35:20.799
neck and maybe you can breathe it out as well.

2744
06:35:23.279 --> 06:35:36.040
Notice how it feels. Notice how you feel. And then

2745
06:35:36.119 --> 06:35:40.400
moving down to that area between your neck and your shoulders,

2746
06:35:41.759 --> 06:35:50.720
that muscle area, starting to message that area on both sides.

2747
06:35:52.880 --> 06:35:55.119
I mean, this would be the area that a lot

2748
06:35:55.159 --> 06:35:57.319
of people would message if they were going to give

2749
06:35:57.360 --> 06:36:03.840
you like a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders,

2750
06:36:04.319 --> 06:36:06.919
but it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders

2751
06:36:08.639 --> 06:36:15.279
from the neck and again that can hold tension and stress,

2752
06:36:16.479 --> 06:36:21.520
and when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful,

2753
06:36:24.520 --> 06:36:40.000
and you decide how deep that message is, and just

2754
06:36:40.159 --> 06:36:47.119
allow my knuckles just to dig in, to get to

2755
06:36:47.200 --> 06:36:57.279
those muscles and to really relaxed all the time being

2756
06:36:57.479 --> 06:37:15.040
firm yet gentle with you and just stroking down the

2757
06:37:15.200 --> 06:37:23.759
area to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of

2758
06:37:23.799 --> 06:37:34.959
your shoulders, and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders

2759
06:37:34.959 --> 06:37:38.360
a little bit of the table just to give you

2760
06:37:38.400 --> 06:37:48.840
a little bit of a stretch, but very gently. And

2761
06:37:48.919 --> 06:37:51.479
you've got the muscles at the front of your shoulders,

2762
06:37:52.200 --> 06:38:03.159
the sides and the back. Again, this is a part

2763
06:38:03.319 --> 06:38:08.720
that can really take quite a bit of pressure, quite

2764
06:38:08.720 --> 06:38:16.840
a bit of needing if if you wish to really

2765
06:38:18.639 --> 06:38:24.159
release the tension to really get into those muscles, and

2766
06:38:27.560 --> 06:38:30.919
you can let your fingers in there. They can feel

2767
06:38:31.080 --> 06:38:39.159
really nice. Sometimes just being stroked gently or being massaged

2768
06:38:40.599 --> 06:38:49.319
quite strongly, it can all be beneficial to the relaxation

2769
06:38:54.400 --> 06:39:07.479
of the muscles in your shoulders. Now you move down

2770
06:39:07.520 --> 06:39:18.000
your arms. We do one arm at a time, starting

2771
06:39:18.080 --> 06:39:26.919
with your right arm. Well, I, dear is, I just

2772
06:39:28.240 --> 06:39:31.439
lift your arm up, just hold it to the side

2773
06:39:31.479 --> 06:39:38.799
of you the way still be attached, and I just

2774
06:39:39.159 --> 06:39:53.720
message the tops of your arms all the way down

2775
06:39:53.919 --> 06:40:18.279
to your forearms, into your wrists, gently massaging that part,

2776
06:40:20.880 --> 06:40:27.599
the softer part, which is the underpart of the arm,

2777
06:40:27.639 --> 06:40:31.720
which leads to the crease in your elbow. The inside.

2778
06:40:32.840 --> 06:40:47.680
It's much more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked

2779
06:40:50.279 --> 06:41:05.959
can feel really nice, pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down

2780
06:41:07.319 --> 06:41:19.720
to your right hand, just holding your hand in both

2781
06:41:19.759 --> 06:41:29.400
of my hands, just pressing gently on the back of

2782
06:41:29.439 --> 06:41:40.360
your hand and stretching your fingers ever so lightly at

2783
06:41:40.360 --> 06:41:55.240
the same time, pressing down and massaging each finger, and

2784
06:41:55.319 --> 06:41:59.200
then starting to massage the palms of their hand.

2785
06:42:05.880 --> 06:42:17.360
Just turning the hand gently, stretching it gently, and actually.

2786
06:42:17.000 --> 06:42:24.599
Having your hand held can really be an emotional experience sometimes,

2787
06:42:25.560 --> 06:42:30.240
even if it is a stranger, so when you don't

2788
06:42:30.319 --> 06:42:35.599
know very well, like a massage person or a therapist,

2789
06:42:35.680 --> 06:42:50.479
maybe because it's intimate and you can feel nice and

2790
06:42:50.599 --> 06:43:01.000
you can feel safe and that's a But that right

2791
06:43:01.159 --> 06:43:09.560
arm back down where it was. We did the same

2792
06:43:09.639 --> 06:43:21.240
with your left arm, exactly the same, massage in the

2793
06:43:21.360 --> 06:43:26.439
muscles and your arm all the way down. Do you

2794
06:43:26.520 --> 06:43:39.599
arrest stroking the inside of your arm, just being gentle

2795
06:43:40.759 --> 06:43:53.840
or as firm as you require, and then massage in

2796
06:43:53.880 --> 06:44:09.520
your left hand, stretching the fingers gently messaging the palm

2797
06:44:10.319 --> 06:44:28.560
of your left hand. And you feel so so relaxing,

2798
06:44:36.200 --> 06:44:58.279
so comforting, and I just rest your left arm back down.

2799
06:45:01.560 --> 06:45:12.520
Start to massage your back, the biggest part of your body,

2800
06:45:13.240 --> 06:45:20.159
starting at the top, starting again where we already have been,

2801
06:45:20.919 --> 06:45:25.639
the area at the top in between your shoulders, near

2802
06:45:25.680 --> 06:45:30.880
your neck. Going back, the massage in that area again,

2803
06:45:32.000 --> 06:45:45.720
but this time moving downwards, taking a downward stroke to

2804
06:45:45.759 --> 06:45:53.680
the middle of your back, working from the outside inwards.

2805
06:45:53.680 --> 06:46:01.279
A massage in the your back, but the outsides of

2806
06:46:01.400 --> 06:46:12.080
your back, the parts where your arms would maybe rest against,

2807
06:46:19.119 --> 06:46:24.639
almost the part that connects your front to your back.

2808
06:46:34.200 --> 06:46:42.959
Just messaging down firmly but gently, as firm as you want,

2809
06:46:46.360 --> 06:46:51.000
moving down and moving across a little bed, moving all

2810
06:46:51.000 --> 06:46:57.319
the way down again, being very gentle yet firm as

2811
06:46:57.360 --> 06:47:09.040
you choose. Eventually you get to the spine. We can

2812
06:47:09.119 --> 06:47:14.000
message the muscles and either side of your spine, from

2813
06:47:14.040 --> 06:47:19.639
the top of your neck all the way down to

2814
06:47:19.759 --> 06:47:28.599
your lower back. We can do that a few times.

2815
06:47:31.599 --> 06:47:39.759
Sometimes people use the knuckle or the two fingers and

2816
06:47:39.959 --> 06:47:45.479
just go your side of the spine and almost just

2817
06:47:45.639 --> 06:47:48.439
push down and go all the way down to the

2818
06:47:48.439 --> 06:47:57.080
bottom of the spine, each time releasing tension and opening

2819
06:47:57.200 --> 06:48:06.319
up the body, stretching your body so that you feel

2820
06:48:07.000 --> 06:48:24.439
more relaxed but at the same time rejuvenated. And now

2821
06:48:24.479 --> 06:48:32.319
I'm going to move to one side, to your right side,

2822
06:48:33.159 --> 06:48:37.919
and from the bottom of your ribs to your pelvis,

2823
06:48:38.759 --> 06:48:45.040
I'm going to massage that area of your back. I'll

2824
06:48:45.119 --> 06:48:48.200
stretch over the other side and i will pull the

2825
06:48:48.279 --> 06:48:55.119
muscles gently and massage and push from one end that

2826
06:48:55.319 --> 06:48:59.599
side or the way to my side to the middle

2827
06:48:59.639 --> 06:49:05.360
of fact to where your spine is, massaging that sign

2828
06:49:05.439 --> 06:49:09.840
of your spine the opposite side to where I'm standing.

2829
06:49:12.200 --> 06:49:18.240
It's almost like kneading bread. There's that big area which

2830
06:49:18.279 --> 06:49:30.080
is firm yet lots there to message. Potentially one of

2831
06:49:30.119 --> 06:49:36.759
the most important places to actually have a message, because

2832
06:49:36.799 --> 06:49:42.720
you really feel it. You really feel the release and

2833
06:49:42.799 --> 06:49:51.000
the pleasure of having your lower back massaged. It releases

2834
06:49:51.319 --> 06:49:59.639
so much from your body that's not useful, starting a

2835
06:49:59.720 --> 06:50:05.360
heuree in process which will continue long after this recording

2836
06:50:05.479 --> 06:50:17.279
is over. The message in this part of your body

2837
06:50:17.720 --> 06:50:22.680
not only feels really good, for you. It's actually fun

2838
06:50:22.720 --> 06:50:27.560
to do because it is, as I said, like kneading bread,

2839
06:50:29.880 --> 06:50:32.439
it's a part that you can really get hold of

2840
06:50:33.919 --> 06:50:47.680
and really message deeply. If that's your choice, then I'm

2841
06:50:47.680 --> 06:50:49.520
going to move over to the other side of your

2842
06:50:49.560 --> 06:50:58.759
body and do the same with the opposite part of

2843
06:50:58.919 --> 06:51:06.080
your lower bang kneading and messaging from your sides or

2844
06:51:06.279 --> 06:51:13.439
way to the middle of your back where your spine

2845
06:51:13.560 --> 06:51:27.319
is pressing and kneading firm and gentle at the same time.

2846
06:51:29.240 --> 06:51:41.919
It feels so releasing this mixture of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness,

2847
06:51:42.119 --> 06:51:53.799
relaxation or mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your

2848
06:51:53.840 --> 06:51:59.040
stomach as it's being stretched. Even though you're in your

2849
06:51:59.080 --> 06:52:03.360
stomach now, you can feel it being stretched because that

2850
06:52:03.520 --> 06:52:14.919
whole area is connected to your stomach. Now we're going

2851
06:52:15.000 --> 06:52:19.919
to move or move further up to your top of

2852
06:52:19.959 --> 06:52:24.520
your body and I we do the same this time,

2853
06:52:25.720 --> 06:52:32.599
starting with your upper back. Put my hands forward over

2854
06:52:33.840 --> 06:52:40.799
and mess it massage in that area up to your spine,

2855
06:52:41.200 --> 06:52:45.319
from the side of your body up to your spine.

2856
06:52:45.599 --> 06:52:51.799
So some of that message area, the muscle tissue or

2857
06:52:51.799 --> 06:52:55.840
whatever fatty tissue even will be possibly from your chest

2858
06:52:57.759 --> 06:53:05.080
there's all connected chest and the back connect together. I'm

2859
06:53:05.119 --> 06:53:08.319
going to be massaging and just pulling some of that

2860
06:53:08.560 --> 06:53:19.319
skin from your side up and massaging that area of

2861
06:53:19.400 --> 06:53:27.880
your upper back all the way to your spine. And

2862
06:53:27.959 --> 06:53:30.720
then I'll move down a bit and I continue with

2863
06:53:30.840 --> 06:53:33.720
the middle of your back, doing exactly the same thing

2864
06:53:37.560 --> 06:53:51.119
as gentle or as deep as you choose. Now, I'll

2865
06:53:51.159 --> 06:53:55.279
move or the other side again and do the exact

2866
06:53:55.439 --> 06:53:59.200
same thing with the top of your back on the

2867
06:53:59.240 --> 06:54:08.799
other side, from pretty much underneath your arm area really

2868
06:54:14.200 --> 06:54:24.439
to your spine, and then continuing that all the way down,

2869
06:54:26.159 --> 06:54:43.279
including your lower your middle of your back. I'm gonna

2870
06:54:43.799 --> 06:54:50.360
go to your thighs, the backs of your thighs, and

2871
06:54:50.479 --> 06:54:57.759
the sides of your thighs, starting with your right leg.

2872
06:55:00.080 --> 06:55:07.560
Massage in the back and the sides of your thighs

2873
06:55:09.880 --> 06:55:16.319
gently and firmly. There's a lot of muscles there. It's

2874
06:55:16.360 --> 06:55:19.639
an area that can be very tense at times and

2875
06:55:19.799 --> 06:55:23.200
maybe needs a little bit more pressure than the rest

2876
06:55:23.200 --> 06:55:31.400
of the body that's up to you. You can gently

2877
06:55:31.520 --> 06:55:38.799
stroke the back of your legs where you know, opposite

2878
06:55:38.880 --> 06:55:44.439
your knee joint or underneath your knee joint, very sensitive

2879
06:55:44.680 --> 06:55:57.759
gentle area, and then working down to your calf muscles.

2880
06:56:00.240 --> 06:56:06.680
Massage in your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose,

2881
06:56:10.080 --> 06:56:27.040
using both hands and fingers, digging deep to your ankles,

2882
06:56:29.279 --> 06:56:34.919
in the back of your back of your ankles, just

2883
06:56:35.200 --> 06:56:46.840
gently massage in that area, maybe lifting the leg and

2884
06:56:47.639 --> 06:56:48.840
stretching it a little bit.

2885
06:56:58.959 --> 06:57:11.080
Moving to the right foot, massage in.

2886
06:57:13.520 --> 06:57:20.319
The bottom of your feet and the sides of your

2887
06:57:20.360 --> 06:57:37.040
feet gently but firm enough so they don't tickle, and

2888
06:57:37.200 --> 06:57:42.680
just allow the pleasure that you get from having your

2889
06:57:42.680 --> 06:57:52.080
feet massaged to just overtake you as I continue to

2890
06:57:52.240 --> 06:57:58.639
message your feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides,

2891
06:58:01.240 --> 06:58:06.959
your arches, your heel. You can put a lot of

2892
06:58:07.040 --> 06:58:13.000
pressure into your heel and it feels amazing, yet the

2893
06:58:13.119 --> 06:58:21.240
arches need to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your

2894
06:58:21.319 --> 06:58:27.799
toes gently the message in the bottoms of your toes

2895
06:58:28.520 --> 06:58:43.840
with my fingers, each one individually. Moving over to the

2896
06:58:43.959 --> 06:58:53.360
left leg to do exactly the same thing. Starting at

2897
06:58:53.439 --> 06:58:57.880
the top of the thighs, work in the back of

2898
06:58:57.919 --> 06:59:05.479
the thighs and the sides, massaging deeply and gently that

2899
06:59:05.639 --> 06:59:19.720
whole area, working all the way down, and this is

2900
06:59:19.759 --> 06:59:25.919
an area that maybe you could like to spend more

2901
06:59:26.000 --> 06:59:34.680
time relaxing and messaging. So perhaps if you wanted like

2902
06:59:34.759 --> 06:59:39.799
a bigger future recording, I want's spend more time on

2903
06:59:39.799 --> 06:59:52.040
one particular area. As you move down to your calf muscles,

2904
06:59:57.959 --> 07:00:10.840
Massage in your calf muscle us firmly and gently, move

2905
07:00:11.080 --> 07:00:19.959
down your aincor into your feet. Massage in the backs

2906
07:00:20.000 --> 07:00:30.720
of your feet, the bottoms of your feet, stretching your toes,

2907
07:00:30.919 --> 07:00:37.240
and massage in each tone individually. And the feeling of

2908
07:00:37.400 --> 07:00:43.360
pleasure and release that you experience when you're having your

2909
07:00:43.400 --> 07:01:04.639
feet massaged feels really good. Now, as she turn over

2910
07:01:04.840 --> 07:01:15.720
in your mind, laying on your back, I'm just going

2911
07:01:15.799 --> 07:01:28.959
to start again for your neck area, in your shoulders,

2912
07:01:32.919 --> 07:01:43.400
just to get back in touch with that area. And

2913
07:01:43.479 --> 07:01:55.119
as you move up, I can clean my hands, make

2914
07:01:55.200 --> 07:01:58.799
them are fresh because now I'm going to message your

2915
07:01:58.840 --> 07:02:14.720
face gently, starting off with your forehead. Your eyes are

2916
07:02:14.759 --> 07:02:21.040
closed and I can just stretch your eyes a little bit,

2917
07:02:22.040 --> 07:02:33.080
pushing up on your eyebrows, just massaging around your scalp,

2918
07:02:38.759 --> 07:02:48.240
massaging down your cheeks, around your ears, into your jaw,

2919
07:02:49.439 --> 07:03:12.040
gently the sides of your neck chin mm hmm. Then

2920
07:03:12.159 --> 07:03:19.599
just moving down from your neck down to your chest,

2921
07:03:23.319 --> 07:03:27.439
starting by message in the very top of your chest

2922
07:03:31.200 --> 07:03:36.439
where the collar bone is. Give a side of the collarbone,

2923
07:03:44.880 --> 07:03:48.159
and then just message in the hole of the chest,

2924
07:03:57.319 --> 07:04:10.520
moving the chest around. Because it's quite a large area,

2925
07:04:11.279 --> 07:04:18.759
you can move from one side to the next, moving

2926
07:04:19.119 --> 07:04:30.159
my hands underneath pretty much where your arms are stretching up,

2927
07:04:32.279 --> 07:04:35.360
stretching some of the muscles of your back in the process,

2928
07:04:40.639 --> 07:04:49.319
moving up over your chest and they're moving down again.

2929
07:05:01.919 --> 07:05:06.720
And then allow my hands to just massage gently and

2930
07:05:07.000 --> 07:05:13.720
slide down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of

2931
07:05:13.840 --> 07:05:23.400
your chest, and then gradually my hands moving apart and

2932
07:05:23.720 --> 07:05:29.360
massage in and slide in at the same time, moving

2933
07:05:29.479 --> 07:05:48.240
down to just below your rib cage, moving down, then

2934
07:05:48.360 --> 07:05:57.599
massaging up again, giving your chest all the attention that

2935
07:05:57.720 --> 07:06:12.200
it needs to feel completely relaxed. Remembering that I'm also

2936
07:06:12.319 --> 07:06:17.599
going to be focusing on your sides as well, an

2937
07:06:17.680 --> 07:06:24.040
area that really doesn't get much attention but feels really

2938
07:06:24.080 --> 07:06:34.319
good when it's massaged. Just stroking my hands down the

2939
07:06:34.479 --> 07:06:41.439
sides of your body, just below your arms, all the

2940
07:06:41.520 --> 07:06:54.919
way down to your hips. Now moving to your stomach area.

2941
07:06:56.919 --> 07:07:00.360
I'm going to stand one side of you like I

2942
07:07:00.439 --> 07:07:04.919
did when I did your lower back. We're gonna do

2943
07:07:05.000 --> 07:07:14.200
a similar process of just stretching the muscles from your side,

2944
07:07:14.560 --> 07:07:29.119
gently massaging from one side to the next, move in

2945
07:07:29.159 --> 07:07:33.400
a whole area from below your ribs all the way

2946
07:07:33.479 --> 07:07:44.360
down to below your belly button, and then move around

2947
07:07:44.400 --> 07:07:54.319
to the other side of you and repeat that process

2948
07:07:54.599 --> 07:08:09.479
of relaxing, deeply, calmly. You feel loose, you feel free.

2949
07:08:10.040 --> 07:08:14.799
And it's something about having your stomach massage that's different

2950
07:08:14.840 --> 07:08:21.680
from any other part because we do have a tendency

2951
07:08:22.279 --> 07:08:26.319
of holding a different kind of stress in our stomachs

2952
07:08:27.560 --> 07:08:35.400
that we may not be aware of. There's an our

2953
07:08:35.599 --> 07:08:43.880
message your stomach in front of your stomach, making circles

2954
07:08:45.319 --> 07:08:56.040
around your belly button, and then going the other way around.

2955
07:09:01.080 --> 07:09:06.799
There's a gentleness and a freedom that comes from feeling

2956
07:09:07.439 --> 07:09:17.759
how you're feeling. As I now move down the tops

2957
07:09:17.799 --> 07:09:24.560
of your thighs the muscles, massaging them, and I can

2958
07:09:24.680 --> 07:09:31.080
do this two legs at the same time, pressing down

2959
07:09:33.479 --> 07:09:39.639
massaging deeply those muscles in your thighs, the front of

2960
07:09:39.720 --> 07:09:50.720
your thighs, and moving down to your knees, gently massaging

2961
07:09:50.799 --> 07:10:02.119
your knees, Sliding down your shins, putting pressure on either

2962
07:10:02.240 --> 07:10:14.439
side of your shin gently, softly but firmly, moving down

2963
07:10:14.720 --> 07:10:29.560
to your ankles, stroking the tops of your feet, and

2964
07:10:29.599 --> 07:10:35.720
then with each foot in each hand, just gently messaging

2965
07:10:36.520 --> 07:10:44.840
the whole of the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel,

2966
07:10:45.279 --> 07:10:53.240
your ankle, your toes, messaging every part of your feet.

2967
07:10:58.080 --> 07:11:04.159
Feels so good to let go and enjoy the process.

2968
07:11:09.799 --> 07:11:28.680
Enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed. So much comfort and so

2969
07:11:28.840 --> 07:11:45.639
many feelings come just from touching your skin. And you

2970
07:11:45.720 --> 07:11:52.040
can just lie there for as long as you choose,

2971
07:11:55.919 --> 07:12:04.759
enjoying the feeling of deep color, comfort from being massaged

2972
07:12:07.360 --> 07:12:35.959
by me. Enjoy fearing deeply. Lights And all we're going

2973
07:12:36.000 --> 07:12:48.479
to do is blow out some candles. In your mind,

2974
07:12:56.599 --> 07:13:06.880
there are going to be a hundred candles, and you're

2975
07:13:06.919 --> 07:13:15.200
going to blow each one out individually, one by one,

2976
07:13:15.840 --> 07:13:25.599
starting at one hundred. As I count down all the

2977
07:13:25.599 --> 07:13:33.439
way down to one, and each time I say a number,

2978
07:13:38.880 --> 07:13:45.799
you can imagine that candle in front of you, and

2979
07:13:45.799 --> 07:13:55.599
I'd like you to actually physically generally blow that candle out,

2980
07:14:01.880 --> 07:14:14.080
just so it's not big blows, just a gentle, and

2981
07:14:14.279 --> 07:14:23.840
that candle will extinguish. And then I'll say the next

2982
07:14:23.959 --> 07:14:34.759
number as we move down, and you can just blow

2983
07:14:34.840 --> 07:14:44.240
that one out as well. And as we move down

2984
07:14:44.319 --> 07:14:54.959
the numbers, you'll find yourself feeding more and more relaxed,

2985
07:14:57.799 --> 07:15:03.319
and if you need to sleep, you'll also find yourself

2986
07:15:03.400 --> 07:15:16.639
becoming incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact, you may struggle

2987
07:15:19.360 --> 07:15:32.319
to blow out all one hundred of these candles as

2988
07:15:32.400 --> 07:15:52.959
you feel more and more deeply relaxed, more and more

2989
07:15:54.599 --> 07:16:11.200
deeply high. And the further you go down, the more

2990
07:16:12.040 --> 07:16:24.279
your mind starts to drift. You may find that you

2991
07:16:25.560 --> 07:16:39.159
stop listening to me after a while. And even though

2992
07:16:39.200 --> 07:16:48.319
there maybe background sounds where you are, you'll be aware

2993
07:16:48.319 --> 07:17:03.520
of those sounds at the moment, be me start to

2994
07:17:03.959 --> 07:17:18.799
just not even notice them at all, because they're unimportant.

2995
07:17:26.799 --> 07:17:32.040
Where I am, I've got the sounds of the birds,

2996
07:17:33.840 --> 07:17:40.119
there's horrors, the pigeon who likes to say hello sometimes,

2997
07:17:42.400 --> 07:17:50.840
and there's the odd plane that goes by, maybe traffic

2998
07:17:51.119 --> 07:18:01.919
and trains in the distance, But none of that scenems

2999
07:18:02.159 --> 07:18:16.400
important whatsoever. More candles you blow out, the less important

3000
07:18:17.880 --> 07:18:32.880
anything is. The more candles you blow out, the further

3001
07:18:33.080 --> 07:18:37.880
you seem to move away.

3002
07:18:43.400 --> 07:18:48.400
From sounds and from.

3003
07:18:48.520 --> 07:19:03.040
General date days stuff seems to just move away on

3004
07:19:03.080 --> 07:19:19.279
its own. You feel more calma with every candle you

3005
07:19:19.439 --> 07:19:38.840
blow out, guiding you to the next number. Do you

3006
07:19:39.040 --> 07:19:50.240
hear me say? And then you blow that candle out too?

3007
07:19:58.400 --> 07:20:22.040
So easy, so simple. I'm gonna start by introducing the

3008
07:20:22.200 --> 07:20:39.159
first candle, which is a hundred. First candle, This is

3009
07:20:39.599 --> 07:20:56.240
one hundred. When you blow that candle out, you'll find

3010
07:20:58.000 --> 07:21:13.759
immediately is slight change in how you feel, as well

3011
07:21:13.799 --> 07:21:30.119
as a real sense of positivity, growing revenue, relaxation, and

3012
07:21:30.400 --> 07:21:58.639
sleepiness expanding. Starting with one hundred, blow out that candle

3013
07:21:58.759 --> 07:23:08.200

08:19:32.880 --> 08:19:39.759
concerns about the past, thoughts about the future, and even

3040
08:19:40.479 --> 08:19:44.840
things you've been thinking about today. Just let it all

3041
08:19:44.880 --> 08:19:51.159
go because none of it is useful in this moment.

3042
08:19:56.000 --> 08:20:11.439
This is your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed,

3043
08:20:15.720 --> 08:20:22.200
allowing yourself to get in touch with that natural sense

3044
08:20:24.200 --> 08:20:32.360
of peace that we all have within us. It's available

3045
08:20:32.400 --> 08:20:37.319
for everyone. It just sometimes takes a little bit of

3046
08:20:37.400 --> 08:20:44.880
effort to set up the right time and place in

3047
08:20:45.040 --> 08:20:51.319
order for you to just let go. Because when you

3048
08:20:51.479 --> 08:20:59.279
do decide to let go and relax, that's what your

3049
08:20:59.319 --> 08:21:08.080
body starts to do because you've chosen, You've chosen to

3050
08:21:08.479 --> 08:21:15.599
just allow your body to unwind and your mind starts

3051
08:21:15.680 --> 08:21:23.159
to slow down. And it's a nice feeling. It's a

3052
08:21:23.240 --> 08:21:27.520
nice feeling at the beginning, just to know that you

3053
08:21:27.959 --> 08:21:38.279
have chosen to decide to relax deeply, and because you've

3054
08:21:38.360 --> 08:21:46.880
made that decision, your body will just follow suit. Because

3055
08:21:46.880 --> 08:21:51.599
sometimes all the muscles in your body need is just

3056
08:21:51.880 --> 08:22:01.159
permission from you to relax because so often we're busy,

3057
08:22:01.360 --> 08:22:05.639
we're going from here to there, we're walking around, and

3058
08:22:05.680 --> 08:22:13.080
we're doing stuff, and the body doesn't have any time

3059
08:22:13.279 --> 08:22:21.720
or space to really relax deeply. So it kind of

3060
08:22:21.759 --> 08:22:27.360
waits for you to lead the way, waits for your permission.

3061
08:22:31.680 --> 08:22:38.159
And when you do give your permission, when you give

3062
08:22:38.240 --> 08:22:44.560
the say so, when you say okay, it's time for

3063
08:22:44.639 --> 08:22:54.319
your body to let go completely and relax totally, your

3064
08:22:54.319 --> 08:23:00.880
body just follows. It's like a breath of relief.

3065
08:23:02.000 --> 08:23:03.279
Ah.

3066
08:23:03.560 --> 08:23:10.680
Good, I can now relax. That feeling at the end

3067
08:23:10.759 --> 08:23:13.919
of a day, of a very physical day that you

3068
08:23:14.000 --> 08:23:17.959
may experience in the past, where you get home and

3069
08:23:18.000 --> 08:23:21.799
you just sit down on a chair, maybe you kick

3070
08:23:21.880 --> 08:23:28.240
your shoes off, and ah, feels so nice knowing that

3071
08:23:28.279 --> 08:23:32.360
you don't have to get up again for a little

3072
08:23:32.360 --> 08:23:36.080
while at least, if you choose, you can just sit

3073
08:23:36.159 --> 08:23:48.840
there for maybe an hour to It feels blissful. And

3074
08:23:49.000 --> 08:23:54.000
just by sitting down like that, your body knows that

3075
08:23:54.119 --> 08:23:59.560
it's time to relax. Your body has been given permission

3076
08:23:59.680 --> 08:24:09.479
from you because it's a mindset. In your mind, you're

3077
08:24:09.560 --> 08:24:21.319
prepared to let go of everything and just completely allow

3078
08:24:21.680 --> 08:24:30.680
all the stress of your body to evaporate. Any tensions

3079
08:24:31.000 --> 08:24:49.840
can just gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really, because

3080
08:24:50.200 --> 08:24:56.759
that sense of relaxation in your body, it's a very

3081
08:24:56.880 --> 08:25:03.680
natural state. It's not something unusual. It may feel unusual

3082
08:25:03.959 --> 08:25:06.880
when you first start to relax, if you if you

3083
08:25:06.919 --> 08:25:12.200
haven't really spent a lot of time focusing and giving

3084
08:25:12.240 --> 08:25:17.520
yourself this space to let go completely and relax may

3085
08:25:17.639 --> 08:25:25.520
seem are most alien, but it isn't. It's actually the

3086
08:25:25.560 --> 08:25:30.599
most natural thing in the world to let go completely,

3087
08:25:32.240 --> 08:25:40.639
to relax totally, the most natural thing in the world

3088
08:25:42.720 --> 08:25:53.319
to allow yourself to feel really calm in your mind.

3089
08:25:55.360 --> 08:26:03.080
And it is almost like a literal unwinding. It's like

3090
08:26:03.200 --> 08:26:10.799
you press a button and all the tension just releases,

3091
08:26:12.159 --> 08:26:15.599
and it's like a wheel, like a cog, like the

3092
08:26:15.639 --> 08:26:19.560
inside of a clock, just unwinding. And it's almost like

3093
08:26:19.720 --> 08:26:24.919
you could see the little wind up knob that's used

3094
08:26:25.720 --> 08:26:29.279
just going the opposite way that you would choose to

3095
08:26:29.439 --> 08:26:37.479
wind it up. And the energy that frenetic stress for

3096
08:26:38.000 --> 08:26:47.520
energy gradually winding down, losing its power, losing its strength.

3097
08:26:49.959 --> 08:26:59.279
As a sense of relaxation becomes stronger and deeper, and

3098
08:26:59.560 --> 08:27:07.720
you may find a the more relaxed, you feel that

3099
08:27:07.799 --> 08:27:17.560
your mind starts to wonder, maybe just seem to stop

3100
08:27:17.680 --> 08:27:21.840
listening to me for a while, and your mind goes

3101
08:27:21.959 --> 08:27:27.319
somewhere else, and then you realize you're listening to me again,

3102
08:27:30.000 --> 08:27:36.720
and that is just your mind drifting to sleep, which

3103
08:27:36.759 --> 08:27:46.720
is quite natural, because sometimes when we're stressed and tense,

3104
08:27:47.919 --> 08:27:51.279
we're not I mean I actually be aware of what

3105
08:27:51.360 --> 08:27:58.520
we need or we physically, your emotionally need in this moment.

3106
08:28:01.360 --> 08:28:07.880
But when you allow your body and mind to relax completely,

3107
08:28:09.599 --> 08:28:16.840
and you let go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas,

3108
08:28:18.240 --> 08:28:22.880
all letting them go, allowing them to drop onto the floor,

3109
08:28:28.319 --> 08:28:36.119
you start to get in touch with the feelings of

3110
08:28:36.159 --> 08:28:46.000
such relaxation. And this feels so nice to be in

3111
08:28:46.200 --> 08:28:53.000
touch with the calmness of the different body parts as

3112
08:28:53.080 --> 08:29:08.799
they become looser and looser. Even your breathing seems easier

3113
08:29:09.439 --> 08:29:18.680
and more natural, effortless, as that cool air enters through

3114
08:29:18.680 --> 08:29:27.840
your mouth or nose into your lungs, breathing in comfort

3115
08:29:28.159 --> 08:29:36.520
and relaxation, and then just breathing out any excess remain

3116
08:29:36.720 --> 08:29:46.560
intension or stress from every part of your body and mind.

3117
08:29:48.479 --> 08:29:53.479
And as you start to focus on your mind, maybe

3118
08:29:53.599 --> 08:30:01.200
you notice that things have come to a standstill or

3119
08:30:01.240 --> 08:30:10.400
maybe just much much lower than before, because your mind

3120
08:30:10.560 --> 08:30:21.119
is not really needed when listening to my voice, which

3121
08:30:21.159 --> 08:30:27.680
allows your mind to relax just as deeply as your body.

3122
08:30:30.360 --> 08:30:40.400
And that's synchronicity between the relaxation of your body and

3123
08:30:41.400 --> 08:30:55.240
relaxation of your mind. Let you know that feeling completely calm, loose,

3124
08:30:55.520 --> 08:31:09.759
and relaxed really is a great healing experience fear and

3125
08:31:10.000 --> 08:31:22.520
has so many positive benefits for your body, mind, and

3126
08:31:22.599 --> 08:31:31.439
your life. To be able to let go everything and

3127
08:31:31.520 --> 08:31:42.479
to relax completely in all parts of your body and mind.

3128
08:31:44.279 --> 08:31:52.919
Even your bones are relaxed, all your muscles are relaxed,

3129
08:32:00.119 --> 08:32:13.119
and the skin that covers your body is relaxed. Every

3130
08:32:13.720 --> 08:32:30.880
hair that you have is also deeply relaxed. And your

3131
08:32:30.919 --> 08:32:44.439
brain restarts to feel the benefits of this healing relaxation.

3132
08:32:49.720 --> 08:32:55.680
And as you focus on the inside of your scalp

3133
08:32:56.119 --> 08:33:01.959
where your brain is, you can start to realize and

3134
08:33:02.200 --> 08:33:15.240
notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply, and it's

3135
08:33:15.319 --> 08:33:27.400
your brain continues to relax sends those messages to the

3136
08:33:27.560 --> 08:33:36.279
rest of your body and your mind to rely, relax

3137
08:33:37.279 --> 08:33:58.479
even more deeply, relax more completely, letting go of any

3138
08:34:00.319 --> 08:34:10.520
remaining thoughts or concerns, allow them just to drop onto

3139
08:34:10.599 --> 08:34:19.319
the floor because they're no longer necessary in this moment,

3140
08:34:21.560 --> 08:34:32.080
In this moment of deep relaxation and calmness, filling.

3141
08:34:34.200 --> 08:34:35.200
Your brain.

3142
08:34:36.799 --> 08:34:59.599
With deep, concentrated healing, calming, relaxing every part of your

3143
08:34:59.639 --> 08:35:20.959
brain feeling so loose and comfortable, so relaxed and be peaceful.

3144
08:35:24.240 --> 08:35:35.599
Your brain feels so light and so healthy in that

3145
08:35:35.959 --> 08:35:49.520
sense of deep deep comfort really does allow you to

3146
08:35:49.880 --> 08:36:03.560
enjoy those ever increasing sensations of comfort that is spreading

3147
08:36:03.599 --> 08:36:15.439
throughout your body, relaxing each and every muscle of your body,

3148
08:36:17.840 --> 08:36:33.840
eat and deeper and deeper, much more deeper than before,

3149
08:36:37.560 --> 08:36:50.119
much more comfort spreading through your body and your mind.

3150
08:36:53.080 --> 08:37:10.919
Fee so peaceful and calm, so very very peaceful in

3151
08:37:11.159 --> 08:37:27.040
every part of your body, letting go of a everything averything,

3152
08:37:30.680 --> 08:37:48.159
so peaceful and calm, so relax With every second the

3153
08:37:48.479 --> 08:38:03.040
passes you feel DPA, depath, relaxed.

3154
08:38:05.400 --> 08:38:14.119
Deeper and deeper, relax.

all all the time, Such peace and comfort spreading through

08:39:18.799 --> 08:39:30.279
and sinking deeper into avery muscle of your body, so

08:39:30.520 --> 08:39:50.360
that you feel amazing, so laxed, so peaceful, so relax

3161
08:39:53.959 --> 08:40:10.319
and peaceful, letting go. We're going to do a body scan,

3162
08:40:12.119 --> 08:40:18.599
focusing on firstly how you feel in your body, Not

3163
08:40:18.639 --> 08:40:24.080
trying to change how you feel, not trying to relax,

3164
08:40:25.319 --> 08:40:30.439
not trying to move away from any discomfort or stress

3165
08:40:30.560 --> 08:40:38.080
or tension. Just accepting, observing and accepting how you feel

3166
08:40:38.959 --> 08:40:43.959
in the different parts of your body, just allowing yourself

3167
08:40:45.279 --> 08:40:52.799
to be exactly as you are, to notice to get

3168
08:40:52.799 --> 08:41:01.479
in touch with how you actually feel in this moment.

3169
08:41:04.919 --> 08:41:11.520
So I'm going to start off by focusing on your hands.

3170
08:41:16.000 --> 08:41:23.759
Just be aware of your hands. I'd like you to

3171
08:41:23.919 --> 08:41:28.959
move your hands around, just maybe move your fingers a

3172
08:41:29.000 --> 08:41:35.360
little bit. I've been and closing your hands very gently,

3173
08:41:37.000 --> 08:41:42.680
just so that you can get in touch with how

3174
08:41:42.799 --> 08:41:57.080
your hands and your fingers fell with very very slow movements.

3175
08:42:05.360 --> 08:42:13.159
Focusing now on your feet, and if you can just

3176
08:42:13.279 --> 08:42:18.439
do kind of an equivalent with your feet is you've

3177
08:42:18.599 --> 08:42:27.119
just done with your hands, maybe turning your ankles, moving

3178
08:42:27.200 --> 08:42:39.040
your feet around, moving your toes gently but only very gently,

3179
08:42:39.319 --> 08:42:51.279
and very slowly, noticing how your feet fell in this moment.

3180
08:42:58.119 --> 08:43:04.040
Focusing now on your eyes, is I like you to

3181
08:43:04.240 --> 08:43:11.319
just focus on your eyelids. Maybe you can open and

3182
08:43:11.400 --> 08:43:15.959
close your eyes a couple of times to really get

3183
08:43:16.000 --> 08:43:19.840
in touch with how you feel when you do close

3184
08:43:19.880 --> 08:43:27.959
your eyes. The muscle changes in your eyes when you

3185
08:43:28.000 --> 08:43:37.000
do close them, maybe raising your eyebrows. It stretches the

3186
08:43:37.040 --> 08:43:47.919
tops of your eyes, perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up

3187
08:43:47.959 --> 08:43:53.000
your eyes, just so you can heally get in touch

3188
08:43:55.560 --> 08:44:06.319
with all aspects of how your eyes feel. Right now.

3189
08:44:15.520 --> 08:44:21.439
Now focus in on your thighs, and you know it

3190
08:44:21.479 --> 08:44:27.799
just starts you to gently tense your thighs, just very

3191
08:44:29.200 --> 08:44:41.040
very gently, just enough so you can become more attuned

3192
08:44:42.599 --> 08:44:51.799
to the physical sensation of your upper legs, the front

3193
08:44:51.840 --> 08:44:59.520
of your thighs, in the backs of your thighs, noticing

3194
08:45:01.720 --> 08:45:18.799
and observing how your thighs fear. Right now, moving your

3195
08:45:18.959 --> 08:45:27.360
focus to the back of your neck, just noticing the

3196
08:45:27.400 --> 08:45:33.599
back of your neck the muscles, and of course they

3197
08:45:33.759 --> 08:45:38.279
lead to the side of your neck. They also lead

3198
08:45:38.599 --> 08:45:44.200
to the top of your back, which leads to your shoulders.

3199
08:45:45.319 --> 08:45:49.040
So as your focus on the back of your neck,

3200
08:45:50.959 --> 08:45:57.680
maybe can move your head gently upwards as if you're

3201
08:45:57.720 --> 08:46:05.159
looking up, maybe moving your head down as if you're

3202
08:46:05.200 --> 08:46:13.319
looking down, perhaps moving your head side to side, right

3203
08:46:13.400 --> 08:46:26.560
to left, only very slowly and very gently. I'm not

3204
08:46:26.639 --> 08:46:35.279
trying to force anything. It has to be very very gentle,

3205
08:46:38.319 --> 08:46:47.279
just so that you can be more in touch with

3206
08:46:48.680 --> 08:46:59.439
the feelings, with the sensations, the physical sensations of how

3207
08:46:59.680 --> 08:47:15.439
back give your neck feels. Right now, as we now

3208
08:47:15.720 --> 08:47:24.080
focus on the tops of your arms, the parts where

3209
08:47:24.080 --> 08:47:28.759
your biceps and your triceps are between your elbow and

3210
08:47:28.799 --> 08:47:37.400
your shoulders. Should focus on those parts the tops of

3211
08:47:37.479 --> 08:47:44.880
your arms. You may like to just tense them, but

3212
08:47:45.560 --> 08:47:56.200
very very gently and slowly, so you're not straining or

3213
08:47:57.000 --> 08:48:07.159
put in any pressure whatsoever on your arms. It's just

3214
08:48:07.680 --> 08:48:16.479
solely you can gain more of a sense of how

3215
08:48:16.759 --> 08:48:28.240
your upper arms are feeling in this moment and just

3216
08:48:28.520 --> 08:48:35.959
noticing as you gently, very gently.

3217
08:48:37.319 --> 08:48:39.119
And slowly.

3218
08:48:40.240 --> 08:48:51.279
Tighten the muscles and then let go, notice how the

3219
08:48:51.400 --> 08:49:06.240
tops of your arms feel. Right now, as we now

3220
08:49:06.880 --> 08:49:17.360
focus on your stomach, the area the lower abdomen area

3221
08:49:17.759 --> 08:49:26.200
below your belly button, moving all the way down to

3222
08:49:26.279 --> 08:49:38.279
your hips, just above your grind, maybe you're able to

3223
08:49:38.319 --> 08:49:51.279
tense these muscles in the area very very gently and slowly.

3224
08:49:56.919 --> 08:50:01.319
If that's a difficult thing to do, maybe you can

3225
08:50:01.560 --> 08:50:12.240
just move your body, pushing your stomach up, maybe moving

3226
08:50:12.279 --> 08:50:17.520
a little bit to the side using your hips, just

3227
08:50:18.000 --> 08:50:26.040
so you can get more in tune with how your

3228
08:50:26.919 --> 08:50:46.759
lower abdomen area is feeling in this moment. Just noticing

3229
08:50:47.319 --> 08:51:07.959
the physical sensations or your lower abdomen as you move

3230
08:51:09.880 --> 08:51:23.919
your attention to your mouth, noticing your lips and inside

3231
08:51:24.040 --> 08:51:43.319
your mouth, your teeth, your guns, your tongue, just noticing

3232
08:51:43.639 --> 08:51:50.520
how your tongue and your mouth feels. It may help

3233
08:51:50.720 --> 08:51:59.520
by moving your tongue around your mouth, moving it to

3234
08:51:59.639 --> 08:52:07.119
your death, maybe pressing it gently against the side of

3235
08:52:07.159 --> 08:52:13.520
your mouth, and then to the right, gently to the

3236
08:52:13.720 --> 08:52:21.599
side of your mouth, perhaps pressing up against the top

3237
08:52:21.680 --> 08:52:28.680
of your mouth, and then down gently against the bottom

3238
08:52:28.720 --> 08:52:42.319
of your mouth, always very slowly and a very very

3239
08:52:42.520 --> 08:52:59.680
gentle so that you can be aware of how you

3240
08:52:59.720 --> 08:53:22.680
feel in your mouth area. Now we're going to focus.

3241
08:53:24.240 --> 08:53:36.360
On your wrists, and I'm.

3242
08:53:36.159 --> 08:53:41.159
Gonna ask you to maybe just routine.

3243
08:53:42.279 --> 08:53:45.200
Your wrists by.

3244
08:53:45.040 --> 08:53:55.880
Moving your hands in a circular motion very gently and slowly,

3245
08:53:58.639 --> 08:54:17.080
just so that you can feel the sensations that you

3246
08:54:17.240 --> 08:54:32.599
are currently experiencing in your wrists. Perhaps move in your

3247
08:54:32.799 --> 08:54:49.880
hands up and down again very very gently and slowly,

3248
08:54:58.840 --> 08:55:23.439
very gen it's all and slow. As we now start

3249
08:55:24.159 --> 08:55:39.279
to observe your lower back, that bad part is just

3250
08:55:39.680 --> 08:55:56.000
above your hips where your cocksix are a whole area

3251
08:55:56.919 --> 08:56:02.639
which also really does include the sides of your body,

3252
08:56:04.360 --> 08:56:14.119
because those muscles are very much connected as those muscles

3253
08:56:14.880 --> 08:56:21.279
also move into your hip aia connect into your buttocks

3254
08:56:24.119 --> 08:56:38.959
the sides of your hips, and if you're physically able

3255
08:56:39.080 --> 08:56:48.319
to do so, maybe you can very gently just move

3256
08:56:48.479 --> 08:57:04.560
your body ever sus slightly, very slowly side to side,

3257
08:57:05.240 --> 08:57:22.080
just enough to gauge how you feel in your lower back.

3258
08:57:29.639 --> 08:57:40.119
Perhaps it could even move your hips gently up and down,

3259
08:57:43.840 --> 08:57:58.799
gently and slowly in order to be in touch with

3260
08:57:59.000 --> 08:58:22.200
the physical your sensations of your law back. As we

3261
08:58:22.479 --> 08:58:38.319
now live, your attention to your jaw, the area from

3262
08:58:38.319 --> 08:58:43.599
your chin all the way up to near where your

3263
08:58:43.759 --> 08:58:59.880
ears are. The hole of your jaw. You can do,

3264
08:59:02.200 --> 08:59:08.919
if it's okay to do, sid gently open your mouth,

3265
08:59:11.759 --> 08:59:23.400
not wide, no stretching, just very gently and slowly opening

3266
08:59:23.520 --> 08:59:36.639
your mouth thing closing your mouth very gently and slowly

3267
08:59:46.200 --> 09:00:00.159
so you can be in touch with how your jaw feel. Yes,

3268
09:00:03.279 --> 09:00:45.439
now I to send now your chest area. And you

3269
09:00:45.520 --> 09:00:53.200
don't need to do anything to move your chest because

3270
09:00:53.279 --> 09:01:04.520
it moves every time you breathe. It moves very gently

3271
09:01:06.439 --> 09:01:23.639
and slowly automatically w each breath you take. As you

3272
09:01:24.080 --> 09:02:11.159
focus on how your chest feels when you breathe, move

3273
09:02:11.360 --> 09:02:26.319
in your focus to your forearms, your elbows. Maybe you're

3274
09:02:26.439 --> 09:02:40.080
able to very gently and slowly tense the muscles in

3275
09:02:40.200 --> 09:02:47.159
your forearms, and when you do that, you can feel

3276
09:02:50.360 --> 09:03:22.279
your elbows as well, very gently and slowly, gently and

3277
09:03:22.840 --> 09:03:58.919
softly obsiv your forearms and dilpos No. Make your focus

3278
09:04:05.799 --> 09:04:17.360
on the rest of your back, your upper back in

3279
09:04:17.400 --> 09:04:35.400
the middle, the middle of your back again this part

3280
09:04:35.599 --> 09:04:50.439
of your body. News. Also every time you breathe, you

3281
09:04:50.479 --> 09:05:04.279
may not notice that usually they should observe your upper

3282
09:05:04.439 --> 09:05:11.880
back in the middle of your back. You can really

3283
09:05:12.360 --> 09:05:31.279
feel that gentle and slow, moodier element.

3284
09:05:49.360 --> 09:05:49.520
Mm.

3285
09:06:05.840 --> 09:06:16.519
Moving your focus into your hip area, your butty as

3286
09:06:18.839 --> 09:06:28.519
your grain. There's muscles and those bones in your midsection.

3287
09:06:56.080 --> 09:07:16.559
Just noticing hell your hips feel right now you can

3288
09:07:18.599 --> 09:07:32.199
very very gently move your hips maybe side to side,

3289
09:07:33.720 --> 09:08:18.760
very gently and slow, very very sham softly and slowly,

3290
09:08:24.160 --> 09:08:40.919
everything starts to slow down, including the thoughts in your

3291
09:08:41.040 --> 09:08:52.839
mind and your mind itself just starts to gradually. It

3292
09:08:52.879 --> 09:09:00.080
doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting tom

3293
09:09:00.639 --> 09:09:09.559
It's almost like time is storing chin. It's a slower

3294
09:09:09.599 --> 09:09:17.480
pace to maybe what you're used to in your day

3295
09:09:17.519 --> 09:09:42.879
to day life. It's a slower movement of energy, very

3296
09:09:43.919 --> 09:09:52.400
small movements which make up the larger movements, which is

3297
09:09:52.440 --> 09:10:00.239
always the case. Now, when you move your hand, it

3298
09:10:00.319 --> 09:10:03.120
might seem like it's one movement, but it's lots of

3299
09:10:03.879 --> 09:10:16.319
minute different muscles moving in accordance with each other. What

3300
09:10:16.599 --> 09:10:29.080
happens in this space that we're sharing is we move

3301
09:10:29.239 --> 09:10:49.959
from that big movement into those smaller movements. Starting to

3302
09:10:50.120 --> 09:11:01.199
focus on how your body feels, not just as a whole,

3303
09:11:02.519 --> 09:11:05.720
not just oh, i'm feel in this way. I'm feeling

3304
09:11:06.760 --> 09:11:12.760
stressed or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm, I'm

3305
09:11:12.800 --> 09:11:19.879
feeling this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice

3306
09:11:20.040 --> 09:11:32.480
that your body begins to present to you small feelings

3307
09:11:33.879 --> 09:11:51.120
around your body, small physical sensations in your legs, whether

3308
09:11:51.480 --> 09:12:07.080
pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting the temptation to label them

3309
09:12:07.199 --> 09:12:14.839
or to judge them those feelings, just thinking them, thinking

3310
09:12:14.879 --> 09:12:28.040
about them is just being neutral, just feelings, not being

3311
09:12:29.080 --> 09:12:39.440
particularly concerned, but just noticing what your body is telling you,

3312
09:12:47.199 --> 09:12:53.400
the feelings in your arms, instead of feeling the whole

3313
09:12:53.639 --> 09:13:03.199
of the arm. Maybe notice those individual feelings for all

3314
09:13:03.199 --> 09:13:15.319
those different muscles and the skin, the hairs of your arms,

3315
09:13:17.199 --> 09:13:31.279
all the internal parts of your arms, the veins, the bones,

3316
09:13:34.120 --> 09:13:40.239
just being aware of maybe your elbow on your right

3317
09:13:40.360 --> 09:13:51.000
arm has a certain feeling. Maybe your left wrist also

3318
09:13:51.239 --> 09:14:14.839
has its own individual physical sensation. What about your forearm

3319
09:14:15.319 --> 09:14:27.559
on your right arm, your right forearm, there may not

3320
09:14:27.680 --> 09:14:35.440
be any particular feeling that you could even give a

3321
09:14:35.519 --> 09:14:42.760
name to, may not feel like anything other than just

3322
09:14:43.319 --> 09:14:53.839
a feeling. Yeah, it's there. The feelings in your shoulders,

3323
09:14:56.599 --> 09:15:00.360
perhaps your shoulders when you think about them, kind of

3324
09:15:00.400 --> 09:15:05.480
almost like they're the same, you know, the same feeling,

3325
09:15:07.279 --> 09:15:10.599
almost like you both of your shoulders are just one thing.

3326
09:15:12.400 --> 09:15:23.480
Of course they're not. And when you focus on your

3327
09:15:23.559 --> 09:15:31.800
left shoulder and then on your right shoulder, maybe find

3328
09:15:31.959 --> 09:15:37.360
that you move the muscles a little bit, maybe tense

3329
09:15:37.440 --> 09:16:03.080
the muscles, gently noticing the difference in each shoulder, your

3330
09:16:03.080 --> 09:16:19.000
lower back, the left side of your lower back, and

3331
09:16:19.800 --> 09:16:30.480
the right side of your lower back of course that

3332
09:16:30.720 --> 09:16:43.160
connection to your buttocks and to your hips, and also

3333
09:16:43.360 --> 09:16:57.120
moving up into the middle of your back, and sometimes

3334
09:16:57.440 --> 09:17:00.959
like right now, actually I want to folkocus on that part.

3335
09:17:02.319 --> 09:17:06.720
When I focused on my buttocks and then I focused

3336
09:17:06.760 --> 09:17:10.919
on the middle of my back, I almost felt like

3337
09:17:11.080 --> 09:17:15.839
the muscles in my lower back were being stretched very gently,

3338
09:17:20.599 --> 09:17:25.919
just stretched a little bit. Even though I wasn't doing

3339
09:17:25.959 --> 09:17:34.800
anything to try to stretch your lower back, it just

3340
09:17:34.839 --> 09:17:47.160
seemed to happen. The feeling of very gently stretching your

3341
09:17:47.199 --> 09:18:06.360
lower back comes along. I have feeling in your chest,

3342
09:18:13.919 --> 09:18:27.360
just noticing what sensations you are experiencing in your chest

3343
09:18:27.559 --> 09:18:43.879
right now. And there's so much of the chest. Obviously,

3344
09:18:43.919 --> 09:18:47.599
there's the collar bone leading to the chest. You've got

3345
09:18:47.599 --> 09:18:56.239
the chest bone, You've got the muscles in your chest.

3346
09:18:58.959 --> 09:19:05.040
Of course, if you feel there's possibly the breasts. If

3347
09:19:05.120 --> 09:19:13.279
you're male, you've got the different well my not that

3348
09:19:13.360 --> 09:19:20.879
different these days, but there may be more muscles at

3349
09:19:20.879 --> 09:19:27.120
the top of the chest, but at the side underneath

3350
09:19:28.279 --> 09:19:31.120
it's pretty much the same. Whether you're a man or

3351
09:19:31.120 --> 09:19:37.599
a woman, there's muscles there muscles that stretch out to

3352
09:19:37.680 --> 09:19:42.239
your back as well as breast tissue. It stretches and

3353
09:19:42.319 --> 09:19:50.040
moves into your back to just being aware of your chest,

3354
09:19:58.959 --> 09:20:26.040
being with whatever feeling there is in your chest. And

3355
09:20:26.120 --> 09:20:33.639
when I noticed that, I focus on my chest, I

3356
09:20:33.839 --> 09:20:38.879
feel it in my back and my upper back. I mean,

3357
09:20:38.919 --> 09:20:41.839
I guess the obvious reason would be because you know,

3358
09:20:41.879 --> 09:20:52.720
I'll breathe in in, and it stretches my chest and

3359
09:20:52.959 --> 09:21:12.839
my back at the same time. It feels it feels okay,

3360
09:21:13.599 --> 09:21:18.480
doesn't feel I've got a little bit of pain in

3361
09:21:18.519 --> 09:21:25.080
my right chest, a little bit not pain, but a

3362
09:21:25.120 --> 09:21:35.400
little discomfort, maybe stiffness, possibly, I don't know. I notice

3363
09:21:35.440 --> 09:21:43.120
my shoulders are also wanting to flex for some reason.

3364
09:21:45.279 --> 09:21:52.639
I think that's probably part of my upper back, that

3365
09:21:52.839 --> 09:21:57.800
connection between my shoulders and my upper back, because I

3366
09:21:57.800 --> 09:22:02.839
can move my shoulders and stretch the muscles in my back,

3367
09:22:05.319 --> 09:22:11.919
moving the shoulders backwards or up, which then moves I

3368
09:22:11.919 --> 09:22:28.080
think it's the scapulous in your back. It feels quite nice. Actually,

3369
09:22:33.400 --> 09:22:36.599
a good thing about this is you can, if you

3370
09:22:36.720 --> 09:22:50.680
want to, you can just flex or stimulate the various

3371
09:22:50.839 --> 09:22:58.360
muscles in your body gently in order to get more

3372
09:22:58.360 --> 09:23:08.680
of the sense of how they feel and when you're relaxing.

3373
09:23:13.480 --> 09:23:17.599
When you do tense and muscle and you let it

3374
09:23:17.680 --> 09:23:25.120
go and you let it relax, it relaxes way more

3375
09:23:26.720 --> 09:23:37.000
than it would normally. You have to feel that you're

3376
09:23:37.040 --> 09:23:41.080
able to do that. There's no point doing it if

3377
09:23:41.120 --> 09:23:48.680
there's an issue with the per part of your body.

3378
09:23:50.199 --> 09:23:56.800
You need to be gentle with yourself at all times.

3379
09:23:59.360 --> 09:24:10.959
When we're sin deeply, it's important to be kind to yourself.

3380
09:24:18.480 --> 09:24:26.959
As you notice your mind, how much has your mind

3381
09:24:27.279 --> 09:24:54.519
slowed down since we started this recording? How came and

3382
09:24:54.760 --> 09:25:06.440
peaceful is your mind right now with nothing to think

3383
09:25:06.480 --> 09:25:16.519
about and just my voice to listen to, Because you know,

3384
09:25:17.000 --> 09:25:28.040
the intention behind this recording is relaxation. At the very least,

3385
09:25:29.519 --> 09:25:34.120
for you to feel more relaxed at the end of

3386
09:25:34.160 --> 09:25:42.400
the recording than you did at the beginning, at the

3387
09:25:42.559 --> 09:25:54.199
very least, for your mind to slow down as your

3388
09:25:54.319 --> 09:26:10.680
body continues to relax, because that's what you want to happen,

3389
09:26:14.639 --> 09:26:33.040
that's what you expect to happen. For relaxation to fill

3390
09:26:35.639 --> 09:26:48.639
your body, maybe calm in your mind to the point

3391
09:26:48.800 --> 09:27:06.519
of boredom when you start, maybe to.

3392
09:27:01.000 --> 09:27:22.360
Drift away, drest in.

3393
09:27:35.959 --> 09:27:45.680
It's almost as if you're moving further away from your

3394
09:27:45.760 --> 09:27:59.440
body in your mind, just leaving them there, kind of

3395
09:27:59.480 --> 09:28:05.279
liking an escape pod and the spaceship a movie, a

3396
09:28:05.440 --> 09:28:07.879
space movie, you know when they get into a little

3397
09:28:07.919 --> 09:28:15.199
part in it, since the man far away from the spaceship,

3398
09:28:24.279 --> 09:29:23.680
safe to dream and continue to relax, drifting so slow.

3399
09:29:36.400 --> 09:29:54.879
And be so so rare.

3400
09:30:07.839 --> 09:30:42.639
And peace and focusing on the feeving of those individual

3401
09:30:42.959 --> 09:30:56.360
parts of your body. That's a relaxing One by one,

3402
09:31:00.360 --> 09:31:12.760
you may find that every now and then you realize

3403
09:31:12.879 --> 09:31:23.800
that you aren't listening to my voice because your mind

3404
09:31:24.360 --> 09:31:39.120
started to imagine something different, maybe started to almost move

3405
09:31:39.279 --> 09:31:48.400
into some kind of a dreamy state, and then you

3406
09:31:48.519 --> 09:31:56.239
become aware of my voice again. And even though you

3407
09:31:56.319 --> 09:32:02.519
may want to focus on my voice, you may also

3408
09:32:03.199 --> 09:32:17.080
wish to allow your mind to just drift naturally into

3409
09:32:17.160 --> 09:32:38.599
that space of comfort and safety. As you feel more

3410
09:32:39.199 --> 09:32:52.519
comfort spreading through your body like a warm blanket covering

3411
09:32:52.639 --> 09:33:06.639
you gently, keeping your body it just the perfect temperature.

3412
09:33:17.040 --> 09:33:27.440
And even if you can hear background sounds, they just

3413
09:33:28.839 --> 09:33:46.239
don't seem to matter anymore. There's that sensor peace spreads

3414
09:33:46.360 --> 09:34:00.000
through your mind like a gentle grease. Yes, strong enough

3415
09:34:00.319 --> 09:34:16.599
to blow away all negativity, strong enough to remove from

3416
09:34:16.639 --> 09:34:26.400
your mind any anxiety or stress that was there before,

3417
09:34:34.720 --> 09:34:43.639
and blow away any other thoughts or feelings that just

3418
09:34:45.440 --> 09:35:09.839
don't fit with the sense really station that's feeling your

3419
09:35:09.919 --> 09:35:32.760
body and your mind. Un As you focus on your mind,

3420
09:35:35.040 --> 09:35:40.279
you count down from ten down to one, and with

3421
09:35:40.639 --> 09:36:06.519
each number you hear, your mind will become slightly more relaxed,

3422
09:36:09.279 --> 09:36:17.800
just just slightly, from ten down to nine, just a

3423
09:36:18.120 --> 09:36:27.440
slight movement. From nine down to eight, just another small

3424
09:36:31.919 --> 09:36:44.559
change in how you feel. Eight down to seven. That

3425
09:36:44.919 --> 09:36:50.839
feeling is a gap, almost like a gap that starts

3426
09:36:51.160 --> 09:37:00.720
to get wider, the gap between those feelings you used

3427
09:37:00.760 --> 09:37:08.000
to have in your mind compared to the feelings you

3428
09:37:08.160 --> 09:37:19.440
have the growing now feelings of comfort and security and confidence,

3429
09:37:22.000 --> 09:37:28.199
and the gap becomes wider. Eight down to seven, seven

3430
09:37:28.360 --> 09:37:37.239
down to six. When you get to five, the mind

3431
09:37:37.360 --> 09:37:50.760
will start to have a certain physical sensation, most like

3432
09:37:50.879 --> 09:37:57.919
there's a magnet outside of your head, sucking detension and

3433
09:37:58.040 --> 09:38:03.639
the stress and any room meaning feelings that you don't want,

3434
09:38:05.680 --> 09:38:14.680
sucking them out through your skull. And then down to

3435
09:38:14.959 --> 09:38:22.400
four you can start to really experience that sense of

3436
09:38:23.919 --> 09:38:34.440
not just emptiness but space, place full of fresh air,

3437
09:38:39.319 --> 09:38:46.040
the place where you can stretch. It's almost as if

3438
09:38:46.120 --> 09:38:50.199
as you go down to four and three, your mind

3439
09:38:50.360 --> 09:38:54.639
is expanding with this sense.

3440
09:38:57.239 --> 09:38:58.559
Of the peace.

3441
09:39:00.040 --> 09:39:06.440
And tranquility growing to move down to.

3442
09:39:10.000 --> 09:39:13.440
When you get to one, in mind.

3443
09:39:16.440 --> 09:39:29.519
Just feels exactly how you want to feel, almost perfect feeling,

3444
09:39:35.360 --> 09:39:40.239
maybe the sensation that.

3445
09:39:41.839 --> 09:39:43.279
You'd like to keep.

3446
09:39:46.279 --> 09:39:49.519
A place that's safe, where.

3447
09:39:50.839 --> 09:40:09.440
Nothing can affect you at all, and you can.

3448
09:40:09.519 --> 09:40:18.680
Stay in that that space and confort, confidence, confident in

3449
09:40:18.800 --> 09:40:26.959
your own ability to create this space and this feeling

3450
09:40:27.199 --> 09:40:34.319
of comfort within your own mind just by counting ten.

3451
09:40:35.959 --> 09:40:36.639
Down to one.

3452
09:40:41.239 --> 09:40:44.599
And this is something that you can do yourself.

3453
09:40:45.599 --> 09:40:46.760
When you're on your own.

3454
09:40:51.440 --> 09:40:55.360
The time when you can maybe sit down, maybe just

3455
09:40:55.440 --> 09:41:06.480
for a few minutes, close your eyes. It just counts

3456
09:41:07.000 --> 09:41:20.559
slowly from ten down to one, and we experience these

3457
09:41:20.760 --> 09:41:30.800
feelings in your mind, or when you feel.

3458
09:41:30.639 --> 09:41:34.000
That way in your mind, your.

3459
09:41:33.959 --> 09:41:48.480
Body copies your mind, and the feeling is spread.

3460
09:41:48.279 --> 09:41:55.480
Through your spy and your nervous system into every part

3461
09:41:55.800 --> 09:42:00.480
of your body, travels through all.

3462
09:42:00.319 --> 09:42:09.279
That stream, feathing and relaxing.

3463
09:42:10.720 --> 09:42:14.160
Every particle of your existence.

3464
09:42:26.839 --> 09:42:30.480
And we can we can practice this a few.

3465
09:42:30.400 --> 09:42:37.760
Times before the end of the recording.

3466
09:42:37.919 --> 09:42:44.279
And then you can practice on your own. Each time

3467
09:42:45.160 --> 09:42:46.800
you comfort.

3468
09:42:46.279 --> 09:43:01.080
Ten about one. The feelings of comforts calms, deep, deep

3469
09:43:01.639 --> 09:43:15.080
relaxation becomes stronger, deeper, very.

3470
09:43:17.080 --> 09:43:19.080
Wide grain.

3471
09:43:20.319 --> 09:43:29.919
With these positive chemicals, the spread throughout your body, relaxing

3472
09:43:32.080 --> 09:43:37.319
so quickly, relaxing your whole body.

3473
09:43:37.160 --> 09:43:54.559
Of wind, so very very easily. Just accounting down to one.

3474
09:44:00.319 --> 09:44:03.559
Do now, I'm manaccount from ten.

3475
09:44:03.559 --> 09:44:07.919
Pounds of one. I'd like you to repeat the number

3476
09:44:08.160 --> 09:44:14.519
after me. Someone want to say ten, You can.

3477
09:44:14.519 --> 09:44:27.360
Just repeat to yourself dead you just notice, beware.

3478
09:44:28.199 --> 09:44:39.959
How you feel in your mind and your body. Don't

09:44:39.959 --> 09:44:46.599

3485
09:46:07.120 --> 09:46:07.160
