five minutes past five per what else woy would juicy information?

6
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:55.079
Can I tell you? I'm trying to think, Well, first

7
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:56.640
of all, I've got no idea what I'm going to

8
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:11.920
talk about. Yeah, I genuinely do not know what I'm

9
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.840
going to talk about. So before I do that, I'm

10
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:16.560
going to before I talk about what, I don't know

11
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.319

I hope you're doing okay, And let you know. I

13
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.560
do have a Facebook group called Jason Newland's Boring Group.

14
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:37.359
I have a YouTube channel at Jason Newland where it's

15
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.640
now my podcast, so I upload all the latest recordings.

16
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:48.799
I no longer have a sound Cloud account. Well, the

17
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:55.200
two SoundCloud accounts I got I deleted, which is caused

18
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.079
a little bit of a problem which I didn't kind

19
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.480
of think about unfourse, So apologies to anyone that was

20
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.319
listening to me on SoundCloud. I nearly said to anyone

21
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.599
that is listening to me on SoundCloud. But I mean

22
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.719
what you could do if you wanted to, You could

23
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.759
always start up a SoundCloud account yourself, download my recordings,

24
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.719
just upload them to SoundCloud for other people to listen to.

25
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:31.199
And that's something you could do on other platforms, so

26
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.759
you could share what I do. All my recordings are

27
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.960
on my website. I've been working over the weekend on

28
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:46.360
my website and I mean, alas, there's always work to do.

29
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.960
But what I've done is right at the top of

30
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.560
the page. There is a they call it a carousel,

31
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.680
so you can just click through and find each podcast

32
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:04.039

And Hypnosis is Sleeping Deeply, which is the main podcast

39
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:42.759
where everything is. So if you wanted and something might

40
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:47.039
be worth doing anyway is you can download the recording,

you can stream it on the website. We'll just download

42
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:55.800
it and play it at you. And if you wanted

43
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:01.159
to put together your own SoundCloud account or put together

00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:07.360
you know, a playlist online or dogs Bark can put it,

45
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.800
you can do that. All my stuff is available to download,

46
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.680
and I've got a list of podcasts which you can

47
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.959
click on, which would just show that the latest recordings

48
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:32.199
on there, or if you're really excited, I've got playlists

49
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:34.839

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.720
few playlists there you can click on there, and all

54
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.160
those recordings are also available for you to stream. So

55
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.600
they've broken into fifties categories of fifty. That was boring,

56
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.879
wasn't it. So yeah, it's all available. I realized that.

57
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:16.759
I mean, I've also I've been updating the podcast apps

58
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.160
so it's easier to find stuff as well. So if

59
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:28.120

so no go to k you can ask you anything.

75
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.519
There's no ask me no form on that one. I

76
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.680
just want to hear you. So yeah, it's a pretty

77
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:57.480
good website. Actually, it's getting more and more. More and

78
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:02.879
more people are down and streaming on the website than

79
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.920
ever before. Well, that has been a very quiet day

80
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.199
to day. It's a bank holiday Monday here, so maybe

81
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.839
that's why. Maybe it's a similar thing, or maybe it's

82
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.160
a fact that I haven't made a recording for two

83
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.759
days and you're only as good as your last recording.

84
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:27.560
Perhaps that's weird, just maybe it's just boring listening to

85
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:35.279
old stuff. But I just thought, you know, some podcasters

86
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.240
do one recording a week, and that's that's about average,

87
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:44.360
just about like the how kind of works out. But

88
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:45.879
if I did one a week, I don't know if

89
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.879
anyone would be listening, would anyone listen? I don't know.

90
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:59.399
Last week was weird? One was it was it Monday, Sunday, Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday,

91
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.680
tues Day Monday, so not last week with the week before.

92
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:12.000
So one day I had six hundred and three downloads,

93
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.759
which is, you know, it's very low. The next day

94
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:23.120
four thousand, three hundred and four, Yes, weird. And I

95
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.879
was hoping that people on the SoundCloud would just come

96
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.759
over and listen on the podcast st apps because there's

97
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.000
so many places to listen to me. And I'm just

98
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:39.639
trying to cut down expenses and being you know, it's

99
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.919
not a huge amount of money I'm saving, but it's

100
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:47.840
two hundred and what was it, two hundred and fifty

101
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:52.320
for a year that I'm saving and I've got It's

102
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.200
just my finance is a bit weird at the moment.

103
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.440
I'm going to they're changing me over to the old

104
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:05.679
different payment scheme, which means I have to go two

105
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.879
or three weeks possibly without any money while I change over.

106
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.759
So you know, I'm just being a little bit more frugal.

107
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:20.240
Is that the word fruity frugal? Maybe I don't know.

108
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.000
So let me see what am I going to do?

109
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:32.279
What is the subject? Can I I asked chet GPT

110
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:52.120
think of twenty strange, mundane, every day subjects, so it

111
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.080
might be able to come up with something. Because I've

112
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:56.919
been talking all the way through this, I haven't had

113
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:05.279
chance to think. See it comes up with stuff it

114
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.679
doesn't really fit what I do. The whispery fizz of

115
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:14.639
a just open can of sparkling water. I mean that

116
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:22.879
I'm not gonna street lamps, single socks, the fridge light.

117
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:31.440
Let's tell its own jokes here as well. Morning mirror fog.

118
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.759
Maybe I've run out of Monday boring objects. Maybe I've

119
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:45.840
run out of boring objects. Blind me. What's a boring subject?

120
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:51.480
Or what's an exciting subject that I find fascinating? But

121
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:58.919
maybe isn't that exciting? Although I do have just remembered

122
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:08.480
on Instagram I had a message on Instagram? Where is it?

123
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.120
I see these messages when I'm like half asleep and

124
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:29.360
I forget where are they? Where are they with? Oh dear,

125
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.120
I don't know. So I'm just really I was. I

126
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.799
was looking at it. I can you find where it is?

127
00:11:54.600 --> 00:12:01.600
But I had a message, where are you there? You are?

128
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:04.919
Is?

129
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:10.639
I have to go into Facebook on like on my

130
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:18.120
laptop and try and find it there. Okay, Hey, Jucy,

131
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.279
I was wondering if you could do a little something

132
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.519
on addiction, and I wonder this is Shanna. I'm wondering

133
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.759
if you if you could start a boring Instagram page

134
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:36.600
for people like me that aren't on Facebook. Oh, the

135
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:41.399
second one, I'll answer first. What you could do, Shana

136
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.159
is if you want to is actually just start on

137
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:52.320
yourself and run it. And the only reason I did

138
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.879
the I started the Facebook page because no one, no

139
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.600
one wanted to start it. I just no one knew

140
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.600
wo no one knew who I was. I've now found

141
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.799
two hundred and seventeen people that kind of know who

142
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:11.120
I am. So I'm feeling famous, very very famous. But

143
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.080
if you want one, you just start a page on

144
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.080
Instagram and if you're on TikTok, whoever's listening to this,

145
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:28.120
if you've got on TikTok and just run a page

146
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.799
posting my recordings or posting my latest stuff, if you

147
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:43.600
want toy brilliant, because I'm not very the right word is.

148
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.519
I kind of know my way around Facebook and YouTube,

149
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.279
but some of these apps, some of the you know,

150
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.759
the there's lots I'm not even on. Yeah, I'm not

151
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.879
really particularly apt at doing it. I'm not apt with

152
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.639
the apps. Oh BlimE me. That was a pun. I

153
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:12.200
didn't even see it coming. And I yeah, if you'd

154
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:15.279
like to do that, anyone that's listening, if you've got

155
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.399
our social network app or something online that you run

156
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:25.320
or that maybe you'd like to please just if you

157
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:30.360
let me know, not not for permission, just I'm interested.

158
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.080
I can join, or I can watch them sidelines. But yeah,

159
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:42.279
i'd probably join, but that would be good. Yeah. I

160
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:51.559
did do two recordings on addiction Now without getting you know,

161
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:55.279
all heavy and that I did them just after my

162
00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:01.600
best friend passed away and that was kind of the

163
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:12.519
cause of that. And the two recordings I did were

164
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:27.720
probably not very gentle. So I mean, I don't know, Yeah,

165
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.440
I don't know if I've even left them online. I

166
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.159
might have done, but they're kind of very well hidden,

167
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.320
if you know what I mean. They're kind of I

168
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.279
don't even know where they are. But I did two,

169
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:44.000
two recordings. I've got them on my computer, but a

170
00:15:44.159 --> 00:16:01.759
sub subot right, I've got Yeah, I did two recordings.

171
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:05.440
One helped with addiction and the second one one was

172
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.840
an introduction and one was the second one which is

173
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:10.720
called friends.

174
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:29.039
And really the number two you have a future, right, Okay,

175
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:29.919
So I did too.

176
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:37.039
I mean I've done things for addiction separate to that.

177
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:43.799
In it I say addiction habits. I've done a did

178
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:49.600
a recording for alcohol once. I don't know where was it?

179
00:16:52.480 --> 00:17:05.720
Alcohol alcohol alcohol, Okay, drink, drink okay. Hypnosis is twenty

180
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:15.400
fifteen hypnosis of binge eating and drinking. Mmmmmm mmmmmmmm Okay.

181
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:21.720
That was a request as well. So one of that's

182
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:30.000
in my requested thing because I've got a podcast for

183
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:44.000
requests which requested recordings eating binge eating. Yeah, yeah, I

184
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:49.480
got that. It's on there. In fact, I got two

185
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.640
binge eating and drinking, and I've got another one requested

186
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.640
by Claire help with other eating and binge eating. Nineteenth

187
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.400
of November two thousand and two as an eighteen So

188
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.599
Claire used to listen to me regularly and then stop listening.

189
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:15.680
So I don't know. I think I must have think

190
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.039
you got bored with me. I think some people get bored,

191
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.440
get bored of the boring person. That's going to happen,

192
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:31.799
isn't that, I guess? Or itchy shoulder. I'm just trying

193
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:41.160
to think what can I talk about today? Talk about bipolar?

194
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.119
But I said boring. You can talk about, you know,

195
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:49.759
boringly about that, but it's not really it's not the

196
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:53.240
more stop lefting subject, is it?

197
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:53.960
No?

198
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:09.519
Working in the bakery? What jobs have I never talked about?

199
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.279
There's got to be some jobs that I've never talked

200
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:19.880
about that I've had. If I talked about my security jobs,

201
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:25.039
being a security officer, I ever done that, I must

202
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.519
have talked about that. I would have talked about it.

203
00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:32.279
But did I ever let's talk about that being a

204
00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:35.680
security No? I did? I think I talked. Yeah, I

205
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:40.640
have talked about it recently. I think what other jobs

206
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:46.400
if I had? So I've gone through all the jobs

207
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:52.119
I've had pretty sure. I've been a cleaner, I've been

208
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.640
a traffic warden. I could talk about how I've never

209
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.720
been a traffic warden. I could just go through the

210
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:02.000
year years where I never worked as a traffic warden.

211
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.960
The first year of my life, I never worked as

212
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:19.319
a traffic warden. What are the jobs? Sales jobs? Okay,

213
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:25.440
and I'm not really including you know what, I was thinking,

214
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:33.359
I could put together a little sales book for people

215
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:41.279
working in call centers. Just a little, a little guide,

216
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:48.720
a little, a little something that may be really useful

217
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.400
to people that have never worked in a call center before.

218
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.680
Just a little bit of advice from someone that's you know,

219
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.640
I spent a good few years doing that kind of

220
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:07.519
work in four different companies, three insurance plus another one

221
00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:17.200
selling mobile phone contracts. So I've been thinking about doing

222
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.599
that as a book. In fact, this is going to

223
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.039
be my boring subject. I'm going to talk about this

224
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.039
sales book I'm thinking of in my imagination I'm thinking

225
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.160
of actually putting together, but in reality I probably won't

226
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:35.839
do anything. I'll write down as I talk about it.

227
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.200
What ideas do I have? All depends not working never mind.

228
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:46.079
So I think one of the things that I would

229
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:50.960
focus on if I would give advice to someone just

230
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.079
starting out in a call center. I suppose it would

231
00:21:54.160 --> 00:22:00.960
be how to conduct yourself or what to be prepared for,

232
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.799
what to lots of does and don'ts, And I did

233
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.279
most of the don'ts. I did a few of the dues.

234
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:14.640
I did enough of the does to get by, but

235
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.880
I did a lot of the don'ts. And some of

236
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:27.559
the don'ts I suppose would be. I suppose in the

237
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:32.920
core center environment, there's certain things you shouldn't do. Leaving

238
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.920
wet socks on the radiator, that's a definite no no.

239
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:43.279
So I've done that, This is true. And I used

240
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:45.880
to get soaked soaked walking to work, so I take

241
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:52.119
a spare set of socks with me and change into them.

242
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:58.519
And how how al isome? Yeah, I suppose it. This

243
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:04.400
thing's silly now, but yeah, at the time, it didn't

244
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:13.960
go down very well. Didn't go down very well other things.

245
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:18.200
I mean, someone, this is a little bit gross. But

246
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:24.160
I realized that in some call centers they're so strict,

247
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.200
or it used to be. It's probably got worse, to

248
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.519
be fair, it's got more strict. I can't mentionine it

249
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.200
was going in the other way, because it definitely wasn't

250
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.440
going in there. Yeah, it was definitely going towards being

251
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:46.279
really regimented and watching everything you do. If we go

252
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:48.880
every time you're on the phone, every time you're off

253
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.119
the phone, how long you're on a break for things

254
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.119
like that, You know, the first tide of time I

255
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.599
had a job in a call center, I could just

256
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.480
take a little break and no one seemed to notice

257
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:11.519
or bother about it. And remember the last time. So yeah,

258
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:16.319
sort of fifteen years later, in the last sales job

259
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:20.160
I had, I was on people knocking on the cubicle

260
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.359
door saying he came back to work. At some point

261
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.960
I'd look under the under the well. Sometimes I just

262
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.640
open the door, say what so don't it's open? Just

263
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:38.920
coming and they're come in Like I thought you, I

264
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:43.839
thought you'd be finished, and you ever trousers up. I said, well,

265
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:51.839
you're the one wearing a gas mask and the hassle you. Ah,

266
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:53.720
why are you in your dinner on a toilet And

267
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.440
I was like just really getting in your Yeah, but

268
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.720
like it's my business, don't bother me. There certain things

269
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.000
you can't do. I would sort of put like a

270
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.440
list of things not to do in the call center

271
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:15.160
environ meant I'm trying to think of some other things.

272
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.640
You have to be a lot more careful now verbally,

273
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:24.519
I mean there was a time when you may find

274
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:29.480
it hard to believe that. Sometimes I might not say

275
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:38.160
the right thing occasionally, and you've got to be a

276
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:49.160
little bit careful. Yeah, don't lend money. It's another thing.

277
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.799
Don't lend money to someone that's just been sacked. You

278
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.440
ain't going to see that money again. That happened to

279
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.000
me once. I mean, it's this lady got on really

280
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.480
rover like I did most of the people I worked with,

281
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:09.160
and she got fired because she wasn't selling. And she said, oh,

282
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:10.960
you can you lend me ten pounds so I can

283
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:13.200
get a bottle of wine. Yeah, sure, I'll get back

284
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:18.599
to you later. Yeah, okay, I generally thought she would. No,

285
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:31.960
I didn't see her again. I want him. I did. No, God,

286
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.799
your blinding. There was one. Yeah, I did see her again.

287
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:51.119
She was this is a few years later, and she

288
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:55.440
was it's like a country road. I was someone else's driving,

289
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.319
so I don't drive going down a country road. And

290
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:01.640
I saw this thing, these things in the air like

291
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:06.519
moving around, of course, and there was a horse in

292
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:13.160
the ditch upside down right, which is something you don't

293
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:22.880
see very often. Were going its legs and stuff. And

294
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:25.279
when we stopped laughing, we got out of the car

295
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.319
and we sort of like, that's strange. I didn't realize

296
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:36.920
there was someone, well, not underneath, but you know, kind

297
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:38.759
of trapped a little bit, just not not in a

298
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.279
bad way, just just a torso and no, just like

299
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:46.920
you underneath the horse at way, but not not injured

300
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:53.839
or anything. I heard this voice, and I've got a

301
00:27:53.960 --> 00:28:03.200
quite good memory for voices, and I said, Steve, is

302
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:11.640
that you? And she said no. I said Robert, She

303
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:25.519
said no, Andy, she said no, she said Zoe. At

304
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:28.119
this point, she's actually looking at me, because I could see, well,

305
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.640
I'm pointing. I'm just like a few inches away from

306
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:36.119
her face, but I was looking. That's why I find

307
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:39.640
the best way to look is by actually focusing your

308
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:43.759
eyes on the object. And because my eyes sighted and

309
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:45.640
so good, I have to get a little bit closer.

310
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:49.200
But she said, can you move back a bit? I said, okay, sorry,

311
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:55.440
what hi, Zoe? Are you right? He said yeah? I said,

312
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.960
how good, I'll see you so I'm not aim my look.

313
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:04.920
Look i I'm trapped. I said, oh yeah, you're only

314
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:09.920
ten pound. Can I get my ten pound back please,

315
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:17.640
she said, no, I don't have it. She said. I said, oh, okay,

316
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.160
no worries. Well, don't worry. We're going to go and

317
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.359
I'm just going to I'm going to call you, get

318
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:26.480
help for you on a call up and get help

319
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:32.000
for you. Okay, Yeah, they'll be here soon. Don't worry. Bye,

320
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:40.359
see ya. Don't know how she got on. I didn't

321
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:43.039
call any help, just oh I did. No, I didn't.

322
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:46.920
It was made up. Nothing, Nothing happened bicycles. So why

323
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:50.640
would I talk about bicycle bells? Now? How much I'm

324
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:53.319
going to talk, I'd like to spend a whole hour

325
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:59.480
talking about bicycle bells. The hole in bread dust motes.

326
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.759
I don't know what dust mote is. The exact moment

327
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:10.079
of kettle reaches boil water, finding its voice, then settling again.

328
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:13.599
It's like it's making its own jokes up the Fridgi

329
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:15.960
light that lives its whole life waiting for the door

330
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:22.279
to open, or parking, lots of seagulls, of patrol in land,

331
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:27.920
tarmac like this safeguard and an invisible shoreline. This is

332
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:30.359
not me. This is chatch Ebt coming up with this stuff.

333
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.200
That is not what I meant when I said twenty

334
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:38.640
strange Monday and everyday subjects. I mean socks, Okay, I

335
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:46.279
mentioned socks, street lamp halos pulling on wet pavement as

336
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:52.200
if each podle has its own private moon. It's getting

337
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.200
a little bit fragrant, a little bit cocky lately, chatch Ebt,

338
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:04.839
I found get a little bit full of itself. Stationary

339
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:10.640
escalators when broken, that transform instantly from effortless ride to

340
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:17.319
challenging staircase. That's true. That is very true, isn't it?

341
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.640
Because they're not easy to walk up, are they? Because

342
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:28.240
the escalators when you have to walk up them, they're

343
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:34.279
a little bit too high, a little bit too high.

344
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:39.359
I don't know why they make them so high. You know,

345
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:44.160
I quite like the escalators that you get in airports

346
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.440
that just go flat. You know, you literally just standing

347
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.759
on them for half an hour. It's like, Wow, why

348
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.880
can't we have these everywhere? Why can't we just have

349
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:05.240
them everywhere? Literally? Just who wouldn't need a buses? You

350
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:09.920
know for short journeys or even you know, I mean,

351
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:15.039
if it goes fast enough, it might be outside for

352
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:17.880
an hour, but you could get to town maybe in

353
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:22.720
an hour. Hour and a half, perhaps, you know, just

354
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.599
for people that maybe have a seat, if you want

355
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:27.839
to have a seat, you're said, it's the same as

356
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.039
having a bus or a train or a tram. But

357
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:33.240
the escalator is, you know, once you're on there, they

358
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:38.720
can go fairly fast, can't they, Because you can't providing

359
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:42.920
it's got safety, you can't go anywhere, can you. It's

360
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.759
not like you can fall off, unless, of course you

361
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:52.759
know you can fall off. But I think the main

362
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:57.200
thing I would say in this book is, as in

363
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:04.759
dos and don'ts, one of the main things this is

364
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:08.119
the big difference that I found because not only did

365
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:12.119
I do sales, I also listened to phone calls. And

366
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:14.720
I was listening to phone calls in the very first

367
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:18.000
job I had in two thousand and one. Well, it

368
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:19.680
was two thousand and two that I was listening to

369
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:32.200
the calls and two thousand and three, and that was

370
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:36.640
mainly because I wanted to find out what other sellers

371
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:39.440
are doing. I wanted to find out what their secrets

372
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:42.640
were and what they were saying that was getting them

373
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:45.200
all as sales. So I used to listen to the

374
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:51.920
top seller who was called Jodie, and it was great

375
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:55.000
on the phone. You can't be you can't not be

376
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:59.160
great and be the top seller, you know. So he

377
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.880
was the only person something is consistently better than me

378
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.440
sales wise. There was a few people that were really

379
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.039
good as well, but I'm just he was head and

380
00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:19.920
shouldered really above everyone. And but I also listened to

381
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:23.519
loads and loads and loads and hundreds and hundreds of calls,

382
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:28.880
hundreds and hundreds when I was doing that as a living,

383
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:34.679
listening to calls in the course center. And the one

384
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:48.159
stand out shout out obvious difference between on sales, the

385
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:52.360
difference between someone who, okay, let's forget so you've got

386
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:56.440
three brackets, right, I'm going to do a little thing.

387
00:34:56.559 --> 00:35:03.360
So you've got top sales or top sellers, so I

388
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:08.320
forget them. You know, that's a different bracket. So forgetting them,

389
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:15.880
and you've got the bottom the bottom sellers, which is

390
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:22.000
made up of two categories of people or probably three.

391
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:25.119
Actually this first of all is the people that are

392
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:27.960
just starting out. And there's no reason for it for

393
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:31.280
a new person to be a good seller because they're

394
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:34.199
just learning, they're still learning about the product, they're learning

395
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:36.320
a job. May never have worked in a core center

396
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:41.199
before so it takes people time. I know, some people

397
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:45.440
may have done it before so they'd be good straight away.

398
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:52.800
But anyway, so you've got the newbies, then you've got

399
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:58.599
the coasters. So there's them ones which are basically they

400
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:02.760
turn up. They don't care about a bonus. They're happy

401
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:07.679
with the basic salary, which in sales jobs is usually

402
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:18.840
fairly low. Oops. So some sales companies let them people

403
00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:23.840
get by. They leave them alone because they need to

404
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:33.039
have the telephone cause answered. And those coasters, the unenthusiastic

405
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:39.800
people that are just not interested at all in the job,

406
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.159
but they're happy to have a job. You know, they're

407
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:48.159
not they're not a problem. They're good at what they do.

408
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.199
These are the coasters. They're good at what they do.

409
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:55.159
They're nice, probably nice to be around. They're pleasant, and

410
00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:59.400
they make this they make the environment a nice, friendly place.

411
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:03.079
They're reliable, and they turn up every day, don't have

412
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:10.559
much sick time off, probably turn up on in January

413
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:15.000
beginning of January with all their holidays written down for

414
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:20.880
the year ahead, you know, very organized, and they're the

415
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:29.320
kind of I suppose really important people in a sense

416
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:35.480
of a lot of the companies they have contracts where

417
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:38.480
they have to fulfill answer in a certain amount of calls,

418
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:43.000
and they get another company that sends the course to them.

419
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:45.280
So it's you know, it's a lot going on there.

420
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:52.199
So they're they're important, but ultimately they won't care. The

421
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:55.280
newbies will care about you know what I'm about to say,

422
00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:59.320
The coasters got to be a little bit careful. The

423
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:03.000
coasters start hassling them and then probably start to look

424
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:08.079
for another job. Hassle those ones to get more sales

425
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:13.199
because they don't care about the bonus. But they're happy

426
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:17.639
to have a job. They just want to stress free,

427
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:25.679
relaxing environment to work in. And you know, as I said,

428
00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:28.239
without them, they're the ones that could be relied on

429
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:37.400
and they may stay for a long time. Then you've

430
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:42.000
got the ones that are just that don't want to

431
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:46.199
be there. So that's the fourth one on the bottom.

432
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.920
People that don't want to be there. Don't want to

433
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:54.559
be there. It's like a little lecture. It's like a

434
00:38:54.599 --> 00:39:00.400
Ted talk, a Jay talk. So don't want to be

435
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:05.880
there for whatever reason. And if I don't want to

436
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:10.519
be there, they're not going to be good sellers probably.

437
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:12.679
I mean, it's there are those people that are just

438
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:17.480
really good and while they're looking for somewhere else fair enough,

439
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:24.519
but someone that's just coming in, Yeah, I've been one

440
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:26.679
of them. I've been in that situation. I've been in

441
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:33.199
the newbie situation four times. I've been in that don't

442
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:41.079
want to be their situation one, two, three times, three

443
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:47.000
times or four times, sometimes temporarily, sometimes to the point

444
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:51.079
where I just had to had to get out or

445
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:56.840
change department. And then you've got the other ones who, well,

446
00:39:56.880 --> 00:40:00.559
you've got another side, the incompetent. I don't mean this

447
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:04.760
in a bad way, but they're just really bad at

448
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:09.840
the job. It's not suitable for them. Not everybody's suitable

449
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:15.960
for everything, are they. I mean not everybody can be

450
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:26.280
as perfect as I always felt the same. Say, yes,

451
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:28.599
some people just it's not it's not the right job

452
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:34.719
for them. And and you get that actually can break

453
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:38.199
that into different categories as well. So people that are incompetent,

454
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:41.639
I don't like the word incompetent, but not very good

455
00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:45.360
at the job. I mean I was incompetent when I

456
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:47.920
first started. So there's a lot of incompetent people in

457
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:51.440
the newbies, but that's because they don't know what they're

458
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:58.239
doing yet. But if after two months they're still incompetent,

459
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:02.440
or you know, a year there's still competent, then they're

460
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:06.840
the ones that won't probably still be working there. They're

461
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:14.159
the ones that will be got got rid of. But

462
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.480
then you can break that up because you've got incompetent

463
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:21.840
people that are both. I've known people that really love

464
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:26.480
what they're doing. They love it, they love doing it,

465
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:32.119
and they will sell loads of insurance, but I do

466
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:35.719
it wrongly. You know. There was this one lad he

467
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:41.280
was he was selling selling car insurance and it turned

468
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:46.519
out he had like a really really good week and

469
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:51.760
it's sold car insurance to a van company, some haulage company,

470
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:57.920
a delivery you know, and my company didn't ensure commercial vehicles.

471
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:02.639
But he sold Norton normal personal car insurance to this

472
00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:08.920
delivery company van which had like thirty vans, and he

473
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:15.679
ensured each of them individually. So he was, you know,

474
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:20.639
he was super excited, and everyone was saying how good

475
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:24.199
he'd done, because people didn't realize at the time until

476
00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:31.199
the information kind of went through, and because at them days,

477
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:35.159
I think they didn't seem to check necessarily and then

478
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:38.440
if there was a claim, they realized, well, you're not

479
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:42.440
covered because of the commercial vehicle, and then they're a

480
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:46.199
big who hah. I know I someddly did that and

481
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:51.880
they they got sacked for that. Someone actually got sacked.

482
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:56.760
The very first week I was working at church Hill

483
00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:04.199
Insurance Company. I was in training and the trainer came

484
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:09.039
in and one of the managers came in that's it

485
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:14.199
and told us all that they've had to sack someone. Now,

486
00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:16.559
bearing in mind, this is in two thousand and one,

487
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:23.000
so this is quite something that people were saying to

488
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:27.840
each other, you know at the time. Well, what happened

489
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:31.239
is this woman, the old man whoever it was that

490
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:40.559
was on the phone, said, we started being rude to

491
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:49.480
the the cour center staff member started being rude. And

492
00:43:56.079 --> 00:44:14.159
I can't remember what he said. What did he say,

493
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:23.880
m oh oh, I'm trying to fight right, So he's

494
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:32.519
been this custom was being a bit rude. So the

495
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.079
person in the course senter said it had enough and

496
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:42.480
he said, okay, sorry about this, but you are the

497
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:48.039
weakest link. Goodbye, and he put the phone down. She

498
00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:52.519
called back and they The weird thing about it is

499
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:56.679
the manager was laughing as he was telling us, and

500
00:44:56.719 --> 00:45:02.559
we were laughing, and I was thinking, why would you

501
00:45:03.079 --> 00:45:04.960
Why do you really have to sack it for that.

502
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:09.199
I know it's it's unprofessional to do that to a customer.

503
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:17.960
I get that, but maybe move them into a different

504
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:24.119
department or give them, put them back into training something

505
00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:33.239
rather than getting rid of them. I don't know anyway,

506
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:39.639
that's that's that happened. And so you've got the people

507
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:43.119
that are just really kind of not very good at

508
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:47.760
the job or you know, like selling car insurance to

509
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:57.119
the wrong people. It's like people with minibusses and tractors

510
00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:05.159
and stuff. And then you've got the people who I

511
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:09.320
think that's everything, the people who don't want to be there.

512
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:11.920
And you've got incompetent people. Yeah, that's kind of most

513
00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:17.280
of the ones at the bottom. With the incompetent ones

514
00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:21.719
training and it's more training, find out if they want

515
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:24.079
to be there, find out if they want to do

516
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:29.519
the job, and if they're enthusiastic teaching that newbies, they'll

517
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.360
be fine. There's always a percentage that won't and it's

518
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:38.199
just normal on it, but coasters need them. The ones

519
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:43.719
that don't want to be there, then they need to leave.

520
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:51.679
Because I've sat next to people that didn't want to

521
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:58.519
be there. It's hard, it's really really hard, really hard

522
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:06.559
to because they won't sell anything generally, and I've actually

523
00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:10.719
sat next to people it's moaning the whole time. It's like,

524
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:14.039
come on, you've got to if you're going to do sales,

525
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:17.559
you need to have a degree of positivity, a lot

526
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:22.400
of positivity in fact. But because you know, the older

527
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:27.199
big r is there all day long, the rejections, you know,

528
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:30.000
you have to get used to people saying no and

529
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:33.320
to still keep going, still keep talking to them and

530
00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:39.320
you know, try and turn it around. So the ones

531
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:44.079
that genuinely don't want to be there, they kind of

532
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:49.679
have to be let go. It's a shame. But there

533
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:55.280
it's it's not fair, and everyone else it's there, coasters

534
00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:04.880
providing their positive good newbies again that's just living it.

535
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:10.000
And then the incompetent people if they don't change, then

536
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:12.079
of course they have to go as well, because that

537
00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:18.320
could cost a company so much money and a bad reputation. Now,

538
00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:24.199
then it brings you down to the newbies and the coasters,

539
00:48:26.639 --> 00:48:29.800
and then you've got those that with the newbies, that's

540
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:31.559
going to break up between people are going to be

541
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:34.639
coasters people are going to just not want to be there.

542
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:40.719
People that are end up being really good sellers. Now,

543
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:45.519
the difference between someone like a coaster or at the

544
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:54.199
bottom that's say, not selling and selling especially something like

545
00:48:54.840 --> 00:49:00.599
an insurance or a core center environment. The differences between

546
00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:05.519
someone being in the bottom rank and in the middle

547
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:11.119
the main difference. Being in the top's a different thing,

548
00:49:12.159 --> 00:49:16.159
but being moving from the bottom to the middle in

549
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:21.840
sales only one major thing. Only one main difference that

550
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:25.760
I found after listening to hundreds and hundreds and hundreds

551
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:31.519
of calls over the years when I was doing that job,

552
00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:43.079
and that is simply asking for the business, even if

553
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:47.880
it's just so, do you want it. The amount of

554
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:52.800
people that are in the bottom category I say bottom,

555
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:55.159
you know, I'm talking about sales wise, not human wise.

556
00:49:56.480 --> 00:50:00.440
The ones that are kind of especially like the coast,

557
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.239
a lot of them won't even ask for the business.

558
00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:08.639
I remember hearing one bloke saying, he said, so you

559
00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:12.760
don't want an India. That was his sales tactic. You

560
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:17.360
don't want it here. It sounds rubbish, don't it. He

561
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:19.480
didn't say that, but it's like, you don't want it.

562
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:24.280
I remember hearing one person I think they were quite

563
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:31.800
new actually, but they gave the customer really good Most

564
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:36.800
people are pretty good on the phones. Okay, that would

565
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:44.480
be a separate thing. So phone voice. BlimE me, that's

566
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:48.079
a whole that's a whole bag of copproaches. That is

567
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:56.000
the phone voice. So there was this one person I

568
00:50:56.039 --> 00:51:03.519
remember hearing them, and they were saying, who did the quote?

569
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:09.880
Perfectly good quotation got on really well with the person

570
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:12.840
on the end of the phone. The other person's got

571
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:15.639
on with them, they like, you know, it's very good withpport.

572
00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:26.719
And gave a price which was way lower. It's like

573
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:29.639
two hundred pounds lower than what they were previously being

574
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:38.280
quoted for for the year. And the customer was saying,

575
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:42.199
that's brilliant. That saved me two hundred pounds. I've been

576
00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:45.280
phoning around all day long and the best price I

577
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:48.400
got was fifty pound cheaper. You've got a two hundred

578
00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:53.400
pound cheaper. That's amazing. And it comes with a breakdown. Wow.

579
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:57.199
And you could tell that they were clearly breakdancing on

580
00:51:57.239 --> 00:51:59.960
the phone. You could just by the voice. You could

581
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:03.079
how that the man was spinning on his head and

582
00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:08.599
the salesperson just said, oh, okay, well thanks by it's

583
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:22.559
just like, what thanks, according who's the sales job for? Like,

584
00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:27.920
it's thanks, I want to take it. No, that's all right.

585
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:33.039
I wouldn't take it fow you you let someone else

586
00:52:33.079 --> 00:52:37.960
do it. It's amazing the amount of people I heard.

587
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:39.760
He's like, wait, do you want the reference number?

588
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:43.559
You know?

589
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:47.039
What I did is a difference. Again, So the difference

590
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:51.480
is those that ask for the business and those that don't.

591
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:54.960
If you answer the business, if you don't askwer the business,

592
00:52:55.159 --> 00:53:00.400
you're in the bottom the bottom rack. What I say,

593
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:07.760
just by asking every single customer for the business, when

594
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:09.519
you get a good price, we'll just lay it that

595
00:53:09.599 --> 00:53:12.440
when you get a good price, that puts you into

596
00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:18.639
the middle bracket. Now to move into the top bracket,

597
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:23.119
you have to there's a lot more things you need

598
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:26.960
to do, but one thing, or you could say, let's

599
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:31.400
say there's a middle top between the middle and the top.

600
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:35.639
So another section, and that's the people that ask for

601
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:40.480
the business every time, regardless of price, regardless of how

602
00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:44.519
much it comes up as anything. Why would you do that?

603
00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:47.360
Someone has just said that the price for insurance is

604
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:50.559
five hundred and you come up at six point fifty.

605
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:53.760
They might have been lying. They might have been just

606
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:58.320
be teasing you, trying to get a cheaper price. They

607
00:53:58.440 --> 00:54:02.960
might be unhappy with a car insurance currently, you know

608
00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:06.000
there is it could be any kinds of things. So

609
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:11.440
also the benefit is it gets you used. This is good,

610
00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:13.559
this is going to be a good book in it.

611
00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:17.280
It gets you used to asking, because that seems to

612
00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:20.639
be the biggest hurdle for people at work in sales

613
00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:25.760
when they first start, is asking for the business. And

614
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:29.760
as I've listened, I listened to hundreds of calls. I

615
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:32.480
mean for the for about a year, what's a year

616
00:54:33.840 --> 00:54:44.320
one two thousand and six, two thousands, two thousand and

617
00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:47.159
four too fair far? For two thousand a year and

618
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:50.960
a half, that's all I did listening to phone calls,

619
00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:54.679
but all day, every day, well you know, work working

620
00:54:54.719 --> 00:54:57.519
hours for a year and a half, listening to phone calls,

621
00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:00.800
listening to sales calls as well as other departments, but

622
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:05.000
mainly mainly sales. So I've listened to so many calls,

623
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:08.519
and I've heard some of the weirdest things as well,

624
00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:14.760
plus my own phone calls that I've done, and also

625
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:18.039
listening to other people on the tables around me as

626
00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:24.280
well as in the other job in the first sales job,

627
00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:30.039
actually listening to people's calls because I was allowed Tom

628
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:31.599
not quite sure. They just let me because I was

629
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:42.239
one of the top sellers. So ask every time, ask

630
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:46.880
for the sale every single time. And it's not just

631
00:55:47.599 --> 00:55:51.079
you know, so, would you like to say that? Even

632
00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:54.159
if it's I used to, it's more fun if you

633
00:55:54.199 --> 00:55:58.840
get a price it's like seven hundred seven pounds. They

634
00:55:58.880 --> 00:56:01.280
say it's a twenty one year old and they've got

635
00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:04.760
you know, they've got a car that probably cost them

636
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:07.960
five hundred pound but it's one of the most expensive

637
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:10.039
cars to ensure for a twenty one year old or

638
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:13.000
a seventeen year old. And you give them the price, say, yeah,

639
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:15.079
it's going to be four and a half thousand pounds,

640
00:56:17.079 --> 00:56:21.760
So you want to take that, and it's fun. It's

641
00:56:21.800 --> 00:56:25.119
not fun giving someone a horrible high price, but it's

642
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:28.840
fun because it makes them laugh as well, because sometimes

643
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:33.079
the price is so ridiculous, just because maybe the company

644
00:56:33.079 --> 00:56:36.000
you're working for doesn't deal with those kind of people,

645
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:39.119
doesn't deal with young drivers, or doesn't deal with expensive

646
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:45.280
fast cars more aimed at the middle aged bracket. You know,

647
00:56:48.280 --> 00:56:57.119
so is that and then ja to j talks, so

648
00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:01.280
the Ted talks wow, and you've got the top sellers.

649
00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:05.119
So you don't say do you want to take that?

650
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:13.000
You go from asking, So you go from not asking

651
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:17.639
it all at the bottom in the middle, asking when

652
00:57:17.639 --> 00:57:21.199
it's a good price, because it's it's hard to ask

653
00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:23.400
when it's a crap price when you're just starting out.

654
00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:28.079
It really is, it really is. I mean, I don't

655
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:30.920
blame people for not asking at that point, but you

656
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:34.880
can skip the middle bit by doing that. It's a

657
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:38.559
confidence thing, I suppose. And then secondly, then you get

658
00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:42.920
to the top, the middle, between the top, the middle

659
00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:46.679
and the top, so that bracket which is asking every

660
00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:52.760
single time, So like, go ahead with that or should

661
00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:58.280
we get that set up? Horace is here, he's on

662
00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:03.000
the window still outside. Oh Horace. Horace has been visiting

663
00:58:03.039 --> 00:58:07.480
me for ten years now. He's gone and just a

664
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:13.440
little visit, just like says hello, right Jay, now to

665
00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:17.960
get up to the top sales bracket. This isn't the

666
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:20.519
only thing you do, but this is where the difference is.

667
00:58:21.519 --> 00:58:25.599
You don't not only do you obviously you ask for

668
00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:29.760
the business, not only do you also ask to the business,

669
00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:34.960
regardless of whether it's a good price or not. You

670
00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:37.400
don't say would you like to get that set up?

671
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:45.880
I mean you can, but generally you would say do

672
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:47.800
you want to do that on direct debit or just

673
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:52.440
do it on a card. Now you know, you give

674
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:58.519
them an option direct debit or card, and that assumes

675
00:58:58.639 --> 00:59:02.079
you assume they're going to take it, regardless of the price.

676
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:06.639
You assume they're going to take it. That's the difference

677
00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:08.920
between the top sellers. It's not the only do it's

678
00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:12.880
a lot more, but that's a big difference between the

679
00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:18.440
different brackets. You assume that they're going to take it

680
00:59:18.719 --> 00:59:23.039
all the way through, and everything you say to the

681
00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:28.159
customer is based upon you assuming that they're going to

682
00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:33.000
take it. And part of that is having that belief

683
00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:36.599
system that you're the best company, you have the best insurance,

684
00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:41.840
the best cover, and they'll be looked after. Now, that

685
00:59:41.880 --> 00:59:44.280
only works if you believe it to be fair, unless

686
00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:49.000
you can fool yourself. And it worked with Churchill because

687
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:53.559
they really were a good company. I generally believed in Churchill,

688
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:56.320
not that I didn't believe in the others, but it

689
00:59:56.400 --> 00:59:59.559
was much easier because I knew how good they were,

690
01:00:03.480 --> 01:00:14.199
so asking or assuming they're going to take it, and

691
01:00:14.239 --> 01:00:16.639
you'd be amazed at how many times the price comes

692
01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:20.679
up high and people say, okay, rather do a direct

693
01:00:20.679 --> 01:00:26.280
debit when it's come up at like, you know, a

694
01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:28.719
lot more than what the price they said, because you

695
01:00:28.840 --> 01:00:30.679
have written down the price on a piece of paper,

696
01:00:31.159 --> 01:00:32.800
you know, just to remind you of what you're looking

697
01:00:32.840 --> 01:00:38.840
to aim to get under if all possible. And there's

698
01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:42.280
two reasons for that, well, three reasons. I suppose I

699
01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:46.920
love my little categories, don't I. So the first reason

700
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:51.119
is perhaps they fibbed about the price to start with,

701
01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:55.800
and it is a good price that you've got, okay

702
01:00:56.599 --> 01:00:59.960
for whatever reason, so maybe you have beaten the price.

703
01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:04.960
The second reason is they might really like you. Now

704
01:01:04.960 --> 01:01:07.239
they're not going to spend hundreds and hundreds of pounds

705
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:09.320
more inning insurance if they just because they like you.

706
01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:15.920
Possibly they might, but generally not, but you know that's

707
01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:17.920
going to be a reason. Because they like you, and

708
01:01:18.519 --> 01:01:20.079
they might think they'll pay a little bit over the

709
01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:23.119
odds they don't care. They might have forgotten how much

710
01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:29.239
the other quotes was. And the other reason could be

711
01:01:29.719 --> 01:01:36.440
simply that they're fed up phoning around. They don't want

712
01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:39.480
to go through it. Anymore. And that used to be

713
01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:42.159
one of my tactics. I'd make the phone call. I

714
01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:44.480
didn't do this on purpose, by the way, but I

715
01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:48.320
would have the longest phone calls of anyone. Sometimes my

716
01:01:48.360 --> 01:01:51.119
phone calls would last forty minutes an hour. I had

717
01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:55.639
one lasted an hour and a half. I literally got

718
01:01:55.639 --> 01:02:00.360
in trouble. I got taken into the office, looked at

719
01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:02.239
your They didn't know at the time, they're not weren't

720
01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:05.920
really taking much notice. They said, you were on the

721
01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:09.719
phone for an hour and a half. Was that Was

722
01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:13.440
that a sales call? Or was it you just phone

723
01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:18.280
in your family? I mean, what are you doing? And

724
01:02:18.320 --> 01:02:20.639
I said, and I pulled out of my form, said,

725
01:02:20.679 --> 01:02:27.079
so who got the top sales conversion in that week

726
01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:32.000
for that month? And it was me who got the

727
01:02:32.039 --> 01:02:36.039
most call to sales? Me who got the most quote

728
01:02:36.079 --> 01:02:36.559
to sales?

729
01:02:36.880 --> 01:02:36.960
Me.

730
01:02:38.239 --> 01:02:41.840
So I might not I might not get the most sales,

731
01:02:42.679 --> 01:02:45.840
although I did get the most sales sometimes, but I

732
01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:49.400
was still right at the top. But no one beat

733
01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:55.239
me on quote to sales or call to sales consistently.

734
01:02:55.280 --> 01:03:01.079
I mean the odd week or so. So yeah, I

735
01:03:01.159 --> 01:03:05.559
might have only taken I might have got so for

736
01:03:05.679 --> 01:03:11.599
every four calls, I get sale? What every four quotes,

737
01:03:11.599 --> 01:03:17.079
I get sale? Other people that were doing really well sales,

738
01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:22.719
they'll get a conversion of maybe thirteen percent. And in

739
01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:25.480
my second sales job, I was actually, this is turning

740
01:03:25.559 --> 01:03:28.599
into bragging, isn't it. I don't mind the third the

741
01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:32.480
second job. I'll mentioned this before. The managers were in

742
01:03:32.519 --> 01:03:35.679
a meeting with the head manager of the building of

743
01:03:35.719 --> 01:03:40.119
the whole company who'd come from a different branch, and

744
01:03:40.159 --> 01:03:44.920
they came in and they said, the overall manager of

745
01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:48.599
the one I was working in, he said, we've just

746
01:03:48.639 --> 01:03:52.159
been talking about you over lunch. That had a big,

747
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:56.079
old long lunch, you know. I said, really, is it

748
01:03:56.079 --> 01:04:01.840
about the socks and they said, yes, that's that's something

749
01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:06.199
we'll talk about with HR. But no, this is something separate,

750
01:04:06.840 --> 01:04:11.079
and we were just decided that you are the perfect

751
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:17.360
employee for sales. I said, really, because that surprised me.

752
01:04:17.400 --> 01:04:22.360
I'm thinking life. They knew that they knew about all

753
01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:26.239
the stationary I was stealing, they probably think differently. And

754
01:04:26.280 --> 01:04:30.840
they said oh, I said why, and he said, well,

755
01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:35.480
it's based on It's not just on sales. We've got

756
01:04:35.519 --> 01:04:39.559
people that sell more than you. I said, okay, you're

757
01:04:39.559 --> 01:04:41.679
not really made me feel good right now, said They said, no,

758
01:04:41.719 --> 01:04:45.519
it's not not about that, but it's about conversion. It's

759
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:53.079
about customer satisfaction. How many times do you have things

760
01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:59.280
come back complaints or you've sold you know, car insurance?

761
01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:02.400
Is someone with a you know, none of that stuff.

762
01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:06.639
I said, okay, well was that once? And we laughed

763
01:05:07.800 --> 01:05:12.840
and sEH, you've got best conversion, got really good conversion,

764
01:05:13.000 --> 01:05:17.679
really good quality calls is so well. And you're also

765
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:26.199
do everything correctly, like compliance wise, everything every questions asked

766
01:05:26.239 --> 01:05:31.639
correctly in the correct way, no misleading, even accidentally nothing.

767
01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:34.599
He said, if we could get everyone to be like you,

768
01:05:36.239 --> 01:05:42.519
we would it would be a much better company. Of course,

769
01:05:42.559 --> 01:05:46.400
we'd have to air the place out a bit more

770
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:49.800
and maybe cover the radio is over with something to stop.

771
01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:51.880
I said, college, you have to keep talking about the

772
01:05:51.920 --> 01:05:55.760
socks and that was mentioned about an hour ago. I mean,

773
01:05:55.800 --> 01:05:58.920
it's I suppose slightly amusing to mention something that I

774
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:01.559
mentioned an hour ago, and I managed to ease it

775
01:06:01.639 --> 01:06:05.119
back into the conversation. I mean, it's there's a certain

776
01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:07.880
amount of skill involved in that, even though it was accidental.

777
01:06:08.719 --> 01:06:14.639
And he said, yeah, hmmm, you're mention in your podcast.

778
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:18.519
I said, I haven't started doing I wait a minute,

779
01:06:18.519 --> 01:06:21.239
I haven't. I I was remembering I had started doing

780
01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:24.679
podcasts at that point. He said, yeah, yeah, haven't you.

781
01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:27.000
I said, yeah, but I've not done I'm not doing

782
01:06:27.039 --> 01:06:29.760
the let me board to sleep once yet. I'm just

783
01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:32.840
in fact, they're not even really cool podcasts at this point.

784
01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:37.960
They're just recordings I do put them on podcasts and

785
01:06:38.039 --> 01:06:43.679
on YouTube and on MySpace, friends stuff, I don't know whatever.

786
01:06:43.719 --> 01:06:49.639
I was around at the time, and yeah, that was weird.

787
01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:55.000
So what else. So they're the things. You should see

788
01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:59.159
this piece of paper. It's brilliant. So there they're the

789
01:06:59.559 --> 01:07:04.719
signing my simple things ever talking to the customer though, right,

790
01:07:06.199 --> 01:07:08.519
the amount of people that would start and be like

791
01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:15.360
they put a telephone voice on, Hello, how are you today?

792
01:07:15.679 --> 01:07:19.800
Are you okay today? Can I help you today? And like, no,

793
01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:26.760
stop that, stop it now. You just need to be natural,

794
01:07:26.960 --> 01:07:32.320
just talk naturally but clearly. Has to be clear. But also,

795
01:07:32.679 --> 01:07:34.159
you know, it takes a while. It took me a

796
01:07:34.199 --> 01:07:39.360
while to start to be able to understand all the

797
01:07:39.360 --> 01:07:43.440
different accents because I was getting phone calls from literally

798
01:07:43.519 --> 01:07:46.000
all over the world, or people from all over the world,

799
01:07:46.960 --> 01:07:53.719
and there's some really strong accents out there around this country.

800
01:07:53.840 --> 01:08:02.920
So I was able to manage it quite well. I

801
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:05.039
was able to You kind of have to open your

802
01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:11.719
ears up a little bit and just focus. Really, I

803
01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:21.000
suppose just focus on what they're saying. But then there

804
01:08:21.039 --> 01:08:25.479
needs to be if you say, well, being positive, yeah,

805
01:08:25.800 --> 01:08:38.119
but also needs to be an expectation that everyone's calling

806
01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:44.760
to get insurance from you. Just expect it. Expect everyone

807
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:49.520
to take the insurance. Not in a way that you'd

808
01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:51.960
be disappointed if they don't or when they don't, because

809
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:54.800
not everyone's going to take it, but just expect it

810
01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:00.640
and include that. You add expectation into the phone called

811
01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:03.039
all the way through. So when we get this set

812
01:09:03.119 --> 01:09:06.359
up for you, and you know you're also talking about

813
01:09:06.439 --> 01:09:12.079
breakdown cover maybe or windshield cover like windscreen, you know,

814
01:09:12.119 --> 01:09:15.000
it's amazing with the insurance, they don't even have to

815
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:18.119
replace the wind screen anymore, just put a little carry

816
01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:23.319
bag over it. It's brilliant. That wasn't really an exact

817
01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:33.920
scientific fact, but includes stuff and there's certain things some

818
01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:38.800
salespeople are really good at I was never any good

819
01:09:38.800 --> 01:09:47.479
at this, but they would really get updated with sports.

820
01:09:49.840 --> 01:09:53.439
So that if they got someone on the phone and

821
01:09:54.760 --> 01:10:01.640
that was from Liverpool, they'd start talking about football, maybe

822
01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:03.520
ask you know who you were? Are you like Everton

823
01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:05.760
or Liverpool? Or or it was a good game this

824
01:10:05.840 --> 01:10:10.760
weekend was, wasn't it? Oh yeah, stuff like that. I

825
01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:18.760
could never do that because I think I just, yeah,

826
01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:22.039
I just wasn't my thing. I mean I could talk.

827
01:10:22.119 --> 01:10:27.399
What I'd do is talk about the weather and maybe

828
01:10:27.960 --> 01:10:29.800
talk about how I run out of toilet roll over

829
01:10:29.840 --> 01:10:34.439
the weekend, you know, just just human stuff that that

830
01:10:34.479 --> 01:10:36.119
didn't go down so well. So I didn't do that

831
01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:40.119
very often, and I made sure that I had enough

832
01:10:40.119 --> 01:10:45.239
toilet paper. I mean, I still remember my friend phoning

833
01:10:45.239 --> 01:10:49.119
me up from his office, phoning me up saying can

834
01:10:49.119 --> 01:10:51.319
you call the office please, and not answering the phone,

835
01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:54.159
and my phone's about to die because the battery's gone.

836
01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:57.039
I said yeah, So I said where are you? He said,

837
01:10:57.279 --> 01:11:01.119
I'm in the office. I said, yeah, something a toilet

838
01:11:01.319 --> 01:11:04.680
But don't you just go into the office. He said,

839
01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:08.239
I can't run out of a toilet roll. But I can't.

840
01:11:08.239 --> 01:11:10.079
They're not answering the phone, and my phone's about to

841
01:11:10.119 --> 01:11:12.279
die and I won't be able to get any toilet roll,

842
01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:14.279
so can you please phone the office now and asking

843
01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:18.239
to bring toilet roll in. He was the boss of

844
01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:22.439
the of the firm, so I phoned up. It was

845
01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:27.800
so funny. It was just really what a scenario. Everyone

846
01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:31.880
was just laughing because it was just such a funny,

847
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:40.640
funny moment. Just yeah, wow. I remember once I was

848
01:11:40.680 --> 01:11:43.279
in one of the Hinny's hassling me. What are you hassling?

849
01:11:43.319 --> 01:11:46.359
Before Vinny, I was in a toilet once and the

850
01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:51.079
cleaner was having a bit of a breakdown, and it

851
01:11:51.279 --> 01:11:54.359
was he mustn't have known I was in there because

852
01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:56.479
there was I think three or four cubicles in this

853
01:11:56.560 --> 01:12:00.680
toilet was a call center, and so I was sitting there,

854
01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:07.319
you know, eating the sandwiches, and all of he is

855
01:12:07.399 --> 01:12:16.600
bloke swearing, oh these messy We're really shouting loudly and proper,

856
01:12:16.680 --> 01:12:21.039
going on for about ten minutes. So I flush the

857
01:12:21.079 --> 01:12:23.640
toilet eventually and walk out and he's just looking at me.

858
01:12:25.119 --> 01:12:32.279
I'm pretty pretty certainly said sorry about that. It's weird.

859
01:12:34.000 --> 01:12:39.840
Vinnie is right now hassling me to take him out,

860
01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:43.800
which means I'm going to have to go. BlimE me.

861
01:12:47.159 --> 01:12:48.560
I thought I was going to tell you more about

862
01:12:48.600 --> 01:12:51.119
this book. I'm thinking this might be a good idea,

863
01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:59.560
you know, because something I know about, something that can

864
01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:02.560
be use, can be adapted for wherever you are. There's

865
01:13:02.560 --> 01:13:05.079
a few little sales techniques as well. I could add

866
01:13:05.399 --> 01:13:07.680
a few little things that I've noticed you can do

867
01:13:07.760 --> 01:13:10.920
that I did, that you can do that I did

868
01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:17.039
that you can do in it. Ah, I don't think

869
01:13:17.079 --> 01:13:21.119
I've ever been this excited before. Vinnie is hassling me?

870
01:13:21.199 --> 01:13:24.800
Why are you hassling me? VINNI is it Archie? He

871
01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:33.560
knows Archie's outside. Probably right. Well, I'm going so thank

872
01:13:33.600 --> 01:13:36.239
you for listening. It's been a bit of a strange

873
01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:40.560
let me boy you to sleep Monday. Boring objects a

874
01:13:40.560 --> 01:13:44.239
bit different from usual. But hey, difference is good, I

875
01:13:44.279 --> 01:13:51.560
think sometimes. So thank you for listening. And remember to

876
01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:54.039
be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be

877
01:13:54.079 --> 01:14:04.479
happy and be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe,

878
01:14:04.960 --> 01:14:24.800
lots of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and

879
01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:36.000
meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just

880
01:14:36.319 --> 01:14:46.399
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time

881
01:14:47.079 --> 01:14:55.399
we spend together here, not just relaxed. At the end

882
01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:59.880
of the recording when it's finished, and you can enjoy

883
01:15:00.159 --> 01:15:17.520
that sense of comfort and peace. But also I think

884
01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:28.760
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation

885
01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:45.319
continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that

886
01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:57.880
you can still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe

887
01:15:57.960 --> 01:16:09.319
in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by

888
01:16:09.439 --> 01:16:17.439
listening regularly, especially if you find like some people do

889
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:21.439
and myself as well. I sometimes I find one particular

890
01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:31.600
recording that really resonates with me, and I just listen

891
01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:36.960
to it over and over again every morning, every evening.

892
01:16:44.600 --> 01:16:49.239
There was this recording from We're going back to about

893
01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:54.319
nineteen ninety nine. It was it wasn't hypnosis, but it

894
01:16:54.439 --> 01:16:59.520
was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,

895
01:17:01.960 --> 01:17:07.159
and I managed to find it again and it still

896
01:17:07.239 --> 01:17:12.840
has the same effect on me. And part of it

897
01:17:13.000 --> 01:17:27.720
was the person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful,

898
01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:36.319
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

899
01:17:36.399 --> 01:17:47.119
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even

900
01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:56.359
pressing the play button that since I've done that pressed

901
01:17:56.359 --> 01:18:04.920
the play button. This was in the days of CD

902
01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:13.800
players press the play button. If that it might have

903
01:18:13.840 --> 01:18:18.199
even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on

904
01:18:18.239 --> 01:18:31.079
the bed, and then even without necessarily listening to her

905
01:18:31.279 --> 01:18:44.239
words because I had to memorized. Really, it was as

906
01:18:44.239 --> 01:18:54.920
if my body knew exactly what to do, and the

907
01:18:55.079 --> 01:19:16.640
muscles just I almost went into automatic relaxation, and I

908
01:19:16.680 --> 01:19:30.640
remember my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was

909
01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:38.119
listening to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,

910
01:19:40.680 --> 01:19:48.520
and long before I ever made any videos or audio

911
01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:53.319
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two

912
01:19:53.359 --> 01:20:12.640
thousand and six, I knew, I knew how helpful I

913
01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:23.199
found being able to just let go, to have that

914
01:20:23.399 --> 01:20:36.000
trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing that

915
01:20:36.119 --> 01:20:44.439
it's going to be just as relaxing, if not more so.

916
01:20:47.079 --> 01:20:54.079
Each time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

917
01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:15.119
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,

918
01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:19.880
maybe not solidly, obviously, not twenty four hours a day,

919
01:21:21.640 --> 01:21:28.720
but maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.

920
01:21:39.880 --> 01:21:47.880
And something that I do which you may not realize

921
01:21:48.279 --> 01:22:06.840
by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now, for example,

922
01:22:11.399 --> 01:22:23.520
I also am affected by the words that I say.

923
01:22:24.439 --> 01:22:33.760
So if I set you focus on your feet, notice

924
01:22:33.880 --> 01:22:41.239
your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

925
01:22:46.000 --> 01:23:03.359
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

926
01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:11.199
focus on your hands and maybe notice the difference between

927
01:23:11.239 --> 01:23:21.520
each hand. Perhaps notice the the air in the room,

928
01:23:22.039 --> 01:23:27.520
the temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.

929
01:23:34.640 --> 01:23:38.560
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

930
01:23:38.680 --> 01:23:46.640
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

931
01:23:47.159 --> 01:23:57.640
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

932
01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:10.840
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

933
01:24:11.199 --> 01:24:39.399
aware of how relaxed my hands our feeling now and

934
01:24:39.560 --> 01:24:46.479
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

935
01:24:46.560 --> 01:25:01.279
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

936
01:25:02.920 --> 01:25:16.439
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

937
01:25:24.319 --> 01:25:36.920
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing.

938
01:25:41.800 --> 01:25:50.880
And then I carry on talking. And it's only where

939
01:25:51.199 --> 01:25:59.920
I listen back to do the editing. I hear small

940
01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:09.520
boring and I think I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

941
01:26:12.319 --> 01:26:19.439
Is this snoring was a pick turned up? That's why

942
01:26:19.520 --> 01:26:27.239
I sound like when I snare how I get really

943
01:26:27.399 --> 01:26:40.840
into the whole experience. I don't know how you feel.

944
01:26:47.039 --> 01:26:53.600
How relaxed do you feel in your feet, how relaxed

945
01:26:57.399 --> 01:27:18.520
you feel in your hands? I have noticed more and

946
01:27:18.720 --> 01:27:37.680
more that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,

947
01:27:41.239 --> 01:27:55.079
the easier your breathing becomes. It's all almost like that

948
01:27:56.600 --> 01:28:13.880
additional muscle relaxation. So this allows you the bree easier

949
01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:39.479
without necessarily focusing on your breath, however, being able to

950
01:28:43.199 --> 01:29:23.439
notice the ease in which you breathe so naturally. You

951
01:29:23.640 --> 01:30:06.119
breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my

952
01:30:06.319 --> 01:30:22.680
breathing improving. When I've got my eyes closed, I tend

953
01:30:22.760 --> 01:30:43.279
to visualize a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing

954
01:30:43.399 --> 01:31:17.439
all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice to, if

955
01:31:17.560 --> 01:31:48.239
nothing else, just taking some time away from everything, enjoying

956
01:31:54.520 --> 01:32:45.720
that feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart. Time

957
01:32:46.159 --> 01:33:16.840
seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so

958
01:33:17.439 --> 01:33:56.880
deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment,

959
01:34:13.520 --> 01:35:09.680
completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed

960
01:35:09.760 --> 01:36:00.079
down because nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy

961
01:36:00.760 --> 01:36:12.960
the physical sensations of allowing the stress rip out of

962
01:36:13.079 --> 01:36:40.359
your body, to appear out of every part of your body,

963
01:36:43.079 --> 01:37:16.920
and being released from your brain in your mind slowly

964
01:37:21.520 --> 01:38:00.359
but surely. The muscles in your legs relax rex really

965
01:38:05.520 --> 01:38:46.239
so very deeply, rts so deeply, and the feelings, the

966
01:38:46.439 --> 01:39:11.760
pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders, deepening each part

967
01:39:11.920 --> 01:39:52.880
of your body further and deeper and deeper. Noticing the

968
01:39:53.000 --> 01:40:21.039
feelings in the back of your neck, feelings in your wrists,

969
01:40:53.720 --> 01:41:19.439
muscles in front of your body. H I also feeling

970
01:41:24.199 --> 01:41:59.920
peaceful deeply. There's a sense of peace spreads through your

971
01:42:00.239 --> 01:42:49.840
very cool even when you focus on your mind, your

972
01:42:49.880 --> 01:44:00.199
mind becomes ef and slower, ven deeper, relaxing, m a

973
01:44:00.640 --> 01:45:00.640
very slow your stomach. Peace fell in your stomach back.

974
01:45:06.000 --> 01:45:34.880
Notice Notice how relaxed you'd now feel in the hall

975
01:45:35.199 --> 01:46:08.000
of your back. In spy from your brain all the

976
01:46:08.119 --> 01:46:16.840
way down the middle of your back, sending and receiving

977
01:46:19.239 --> 01:47:21.800
millions of messages every day, deepcomfort, increasing deeply relaxed you knees,

978
01:47:52.119 --> 01:48:01.359
spreading these signals down a spine or cord into air,

979
01:48:01.640 --> 01:48:21.159
every part of your body, your sins, and your calf muscles.

980
01:48:48.279 --> 01:49:17.800
We're outbows, feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your body,

981
01:49:22.800 --> 01:49:39.039
tips of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers, all

982
01:49:39.079 --> 01:50:24.880
the way to your lower back letting go, datin peace,

01:54:38.199 --> 01:54:46.840

And safety, so firy fy relaxed, lessing God. Maybe we

988
01:57:12.439 --> 01:57:19.960
can just focus on the different parts of your body,

989
01:57:24.039 --> 01:57:51.800
just to notice your.

990
01:57:51.840 --> 01:58:54.600
Forehead and your eyes mutual so Louise, noticing the sense

991
01:58:54.680 --> 02:00:29.279
of complete freedom, absolute freedom, day, trading peace, full energy,

992
02:01:02.159 --> 02:02:17.840
peace to breathe much easier lest you may have you

993
02:02:18.079 --> 02:03:18.920
may not have noticed your mind drifting, peaceful, moveingly, even

994
02:03:19.199 --> 02:03:44.399
more deeply in the direction of total blissful pace, blissful peace,

995
02:04:13.039 --> 02:06:13.119
Christ total peace, com soap calm, letting go peace with

996
02:06:13.560 --> 02:07:24.680
mind relaxed forty, so relaxed, so relaxed. Your body feels

997
02:07:24.720 --> 02:07:55.880
almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so.

998
02:08:03.520 --> 02:08:57.279
Peace real liquor, so peaceful, son of fair face.

999
02:09:03.439 --> 02:09:09.680
And you could start to notice that you are feeling

1000
02:09:10.039 --> 02:09:21.439
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind

1001
02:09:22.239 --> 02:09:29.840
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

1002
02:09:29.920 --> 02:09:39.079
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,

1003
02:09:44.000 --> 02:09:51.239
and that could be almost in recognition of I guess

1004
02:09:51.600 --> 02:10:04.119
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally

1005
02:10:05.760 --> 02:10:16.800
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

1006
02:10:16.840 --> 02:10:23.800
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

1007
02:10:25.920 --> 02:10:33.439
take a break from your life as it is, and

1008
02:10:33.560 --> 02:10:41.319
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

1009
02:10:41.399 --> 02:10:46.960
some time off and to allow your body to relax

1010
02:10:48.640 --> 02:10:56.840
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

1011
02:10:59.199 --> 02:11:09.680
releases the tension any stresses that you had in your body.

1012
02:11:10.800 --> 02:11:14.720
It's almost as if the parts of your body just

1013
02:11:14.960 --> 02:11:26.720
open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same

1014
02:11:26.760 --> 02:11:38.079
time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then

1015
02:11:38.239 --> 02:11:47.520
fills your body up and your mind to also starts

1016
02:11:47.560 --> 02:12:05.039
to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,

1017
02:12:07.079 --> 02:12:21.159
positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like

1018
02:12:21.239 --> 02:12:31.520
a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just

1019
02:12:35.079 --> 02:12:43.880
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however

1020
02:12:43.960 --> 02:12:53.680
long you want it to be, to just rest and

1021
02:12:53.840 --> 02:13:03.920
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself

1022
02:13:06.720 --> 02:13:22.520
to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows

1023
02:13:22.840 --> 02:13:35.640
more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move

1024
02:13:36.119 --> 02:13:44.920
around your body and into your mind, almost as if

1025
02:13:45.000 --> 02:13:54.760
your mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring

1026
02:13:55.560 --> 02:14:08.479
each other, with that growing positivity and calmness, And it

1027
02:14:08.520 --> 02:14:16.239
feels nice. It really does feel nice to know that

1028
02:14:16.279 --> 02:14:25.520
you are the one that has allowed yourself to feel

1029
02:14:25.920 --> 02:14:40.560
more comfort and to experience more of this deep relaxation

1030
02:14:41.920 --> 02:14:56.159
spreading throughout your body. And as I focus on each

1031
02:14:56.520 --> 02:15:02.159
part of your body, you can notice that that part

1032
02:15:06.159 --> 02:15:18.640
becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it. It

1033
02:15:18.760 --> 02:15:32.439
becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing. And

1034
02:15:32.520 --> 02:15:38.399
as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1035
02:15:40.720 --> 02:15:47.479
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

1036
02:15:47.600 --> 02:15:55.279
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

1037
02:15:55.319 --> 02:16:08.720
on were just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation

1038
02:16:09.079 --> 02:16:22.079
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going

1039
02:16:22.159 --> 02:16:29.079
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware

1040
02:16:29.399 --> 02:16:38.000
of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds

1041
02:16:39.760 --> 02:16:44.639
like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to

1042
02:16:44.799 --> 02:16:52.079
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1043
02:16:55.159 --> 02:16:59.879
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the

1044
02:17:00.200 --> 02:17:08.120
world I live in. The countryside, so there's lots of

1045
02:17:09.639 --> 02:17:19.000
nature sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead,

1046
02:17:20.959 --> 02:17:26.440
just notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you

1047
02:17:28.600 --> 02:17:40.120
focus only on my voice and that part of your body.

1048
02:17:41.040 --> 02:17:49.360
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1049
02:17:51.799 --> 02:18:01.520
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1050
02:18:01.559 --> 02:18:08.040
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1051
02:18:08.280 --> 02:18:22.760
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1052
02:18:23.159 --> 02:18:29.840
your tongue, your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of

1053
02:18:29.959 --> 02:18:44.959
your mouth relaxing, calm and loose. As you focus now

1054
02:18:45.559 --> 02:18:52.680
on your jaw, not just the part of your jawney,

1055
02:18:52.799 --> 02:18:57.280
your mouth, and your chin, but all the way up

1056
02:18:57.959 --> 02:19:04.040
the side of your face to your ears, the hole

1057
02:19:04.680 --> 02:19:31.879
of your jaw feeding more relaxed and calm. Focusing on

1058
02:19:31.879 --> 02:19:37.319
your neck, the front of your neck and your throat

1059
02:19:39.520 --> 02:19:50.319
relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of your neck,

1060
02:19:52.319 --> 02:20:00.280
the right and left side of your neck, relaxed and

1061
02:20:00.799 --> 02:20:14.479
loose and calm. And now the back of your neck.

1062
02:20:17.760 --> 02:20:27.920
Focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of

1063
02:20:27.959 --> 02:20:34.879
any tension that may have been there before, and enjoying

1064
02:20:35.200 --> 02:20:48.200
that sense of increasing comfort and release that you can

1065
02:20:48.280 --> 02:20:59.399
experience in the back of your neck, moving down your

1066
02:20:59.520 --> 02:21:06.600
back and moving the either side of your spine right

1067
02:21:06.639 --> 02:21:11.600
from the top of your back all the way down

1068
02:21:12.200 --> 02:21:24.639
to the bottom of your back down to your lower back.

1069
02:21:29.680 --> 02:21:36.760
And as you move up and down your spine, you

1070
02:21:36.799 --> 02:21:44.000
can feel the muscles either side of your spine relaxing

1071
02:21:44.639 --> 02:21:58.040
even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense of

1072
02:21:58.280 --> 02:22:09.000
comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into both

1073
02:22:09.159 --> 02:22:16.360
sides of your back, the top of your back, the

1074
02:22:16.399 --> 02:22:24.799
middle and your lower back. And as you scan gently

1075
02:22:25.280 --> 02:22:32.680
and slowly up and down your back, there's the muscles

1076
02:22:32.840 --> 02:22:37.959
in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1077
02:22:42.280 --> 02:22:48.280
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1078
02:22:48.399 --> 02:22:57.920
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting.

1079
02:23:03.639 --> 02:23:09.680
And in your lower back it seems to be an

1080
02:23:09.680 --> 02:23:23.959
extra special feeling of comfort that spreads into your hips

1081
02:23:26.200 --> 02:23:34.120
sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

1082
02:23:34.239 --> 02:23:43.000
area where your cocksicks are, and into your buttocks, and

1083
02:23:43.079 --> 02:23:52.319
all those muscles that spread from your lower back into

1084
02:23:52.360 --> 02:24:05.959
your hip area start to melt, start to really let go,

1085
02:24:12.520 --> 02:24:19.799
and even nowhere about to focus on your shoulders, your back,

1086
02:24:20.079 --> 02:24:31.079
and your spine will continue to let go, continue to

1087
02:24:31.280 --> 02:24:46.479
relax so calmly, and as you focus on your shoulders,

1088
02:24:47.600 --> 02:25:02.760
you may notice that they're already feeling really loose, they

1089
02:25:02.799 --> 02:25:29.719
already feeding calm and feeding those muscles. Then move from

1090
02:25:29.799 --> 02:25:45.319
your neck into your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle,

1091
02:25:49.399 --> 02:26:18.319
so smooth and calm, and the feeling in your shoulders

1092
02:26:18.360 --> 02:26:26.879
seens to spread deep into your shoulders, that sense of relaxation,

1093
02:26:28.079 --> 02:26:39.600
not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing

1094
02:26:42.399 --> 02:26:52.399
the bones and moving all away to underneath your arms,

1095
02:26:55.120 --> 02:27:01.120
relaxing that whole area between the top of your shoulders

1096
02:27:02.399 --> 02:27:20.200
and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and

1097
02:27:20.440 --> 02:27:40.639
comfortable in your shoulders, which sends that deep healing message

1098
02:27:41.360 --> 02:27:53.280
into your arms. You may feel almost as if your

1099
02:27:53.600 --> 02:28:02.879
arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed, so

1100
02:28:04.440 --> 02:28:49.920
deeply relaxed, so so calm, so pose, not feeling, spreading

1101
02:28:52.719 --> 02:29:06.479
all the way down your arms to elbows, including your

1102
02:29:06.559 --> 02:29:32.799
elbows their comforts spreads or away into rests of forearments,

1103
02:29:33.280 --> 02:29:48.760
and your wrists so heavy yet at the same time

1104
02:29:56.319 --> 02:30:34.200
slight and gentle. Frey. You see now on your hands,

1105
02:30:55.959 --> 02:31:27.520
my hands, so peaceful, in your hands there's a sense

1106
02:31:27.680 --> 02:31:52.520
of real peace. It just seems to I feel so

1107
02:31:52.920 --> 02:32:29.319
familiar when your hands relax deeply. Yes, the thing is

1108
02:33:01.319 --> 02:34:05.799

02:40:56.040 --> 02:41:23.360
so RelA, letting go of everything. So I'm gonna start

1117
02:41:23.360 --> 02:41:35.040
counting down now, from twenty down to one. You can

1118
02:41:35.120 --> 02:41:38.600
imagine in a way it's like just walking down some

1119
02:41:38.879 --> 02:41:44.840
steps and each step or twenty steps, and each step

1120
02:41:45.000 --> 02:41:57.840
represents a level of comfort, each step represents a deepening

1121
02:41:59.760 --> 02:42:10.159
of that comfort, and the fervies you walk down those

1122
02:42:10.280 --> 02:42:22.159
steps that the deeper and more relaxed you feel. So

1123
02:42:22.760 --> 02:44:56.959
starting with number twenty twenty nineteen A same seventeen sixteen

1124
02:45:01.360 --> 02:53:19.600
US fifteen fourteen four see too well five eight nine

1125
02:53:21.239 --> 03:03:06.879
eighty seven thou five four two one. And now as

1126
03:03:06.920 --> 03:03:20.000
you focus on your eyes, we're gonna come down from

1127
03:03:20.200 --> 03:03:35.559
ten dout one, focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids,

1128
03:03:35.959 --> 03:03:44.799
the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves, our

1129
03:03:44.920 --> 03:04:01.840
whole area that makes up your eye. And as we

1130
03:04:02.040 --> 03:04:10.680
count down from ten down to one, whilst focusing on

1131
03:04:10.760 --> 03:04:26.040
your eyes, you will become twice is relaxed with each

1132
03:04:26.399 --> 03:04:39.040
number counting down that you may find the all you

1133
03:04:39.120 --> 03:04:48.079
want to do is just drift off to sleep. And

1134
03:04:48.120 --> 03:04:54.760
if that's what you want, then just allow yourself to

1135
03:04:54.840 --> 03:05:09.479
do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going to

1136
03:05:09.600 --> 03:05:25.959
begin counting down from ten down to one right now,

1137
03:05:27.920 --> 03:10:38.799
ten nine eight seven s five four.

1138
03:11:51.479 --> 03:14:45.040
Three two one. So counting down from ten to one ten.

1139
03:14:46.719 --> 03:15:15.959
Nine eight seven six five four three two one. And

1140
03:15:16.079 --> 03:15:19.479
maybe that was a bit too quick in order to relax.

1141
03:15:20.639 --> 03:15:24.920
Maybe it's a bit too fast for you to notice

1142
03:15:25.159 --> 03:15:33.280
the calming of your body, maybe even a little bit

1143
03:15:33.280 --> 03:15:37.399
of pressure there, Like you're counting down from ten to one.

1144
03:15:37.479 --> 03:15:40.920
Would you expect me to do man, expect me to

1145
03:15:40.959 --> 03:15:50.799
stick go floppy just because you're counting down. We could

1146
03:15:50.840 --> 03:15:54.559
try it again, but this time I go this slower

1147
03:15:56.799 --> 03:16:01.479
this time, as you focus on on the whole of

1148
03:16:01.520 --> 03:16:09.079
your body before we focus on your legs. Just notice

1149
03:16:09.920 --> 03:16:22.719
how your body does start to feel more relaxed with

1150
03:16:24.000 --> 03:17:37.760
every number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three,

1151
03:17:38.079 --> 03:18:15.840
two one, And just notice how how you feel, generally,

1152
03:18:16.239 --> 03:18:30.559
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

1153
03:18:30.680 --> 03:18:37.959
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

1154
03:18:39.120 --> 03:18:57.639
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

1155
03:19:02.319 --> 03:19:07.520
sitting or lying down and just being there, not doing anything,

1156
03:19:07.680 --> 03:19:14.360
not saying anything, not needing to think about anything. So

1157
03:19:15.000 --> 03:19:18.040
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1158
03:19:18.079 --> 03:19:29.079
a space, a gap. And the more I came down

1159
03:19:29.120 --> 03:19:36.520
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1160
03:19:36.639 --> 03:19:49.079
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

1161
03:19:49.159 --> 03:20:03.280
nice feeling, and it moves those dresses or discomforts physically

1162
03:20:03.399 --> 03:20:16.000
or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you.

1163
03:20:18.239 --> 03:20:18.840
To just.

1164
03:20:21.719 --> 03:20:28.479
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

1165
03:20:28.879 --> 03:20:39.120
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1166
03:20:39.159 --> 03:20:45.239
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

1167
03:20:45.319 --> 03:21:07.959
gap and gives you that this distance, that space. Now

1168
03:21:10.520 --> 03:23:12.000
ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three two one. Now,

1169
03:23:12.200 --> 03:23:16.319
how does your body feel.

1170
03:23:18.200 --> 03:23:28.319
Now?

1171
03:23:31.079 --> 03:23:46.360
Can you notice do you feeling calmer, the feeling more

1172
03:23:46.799 --> 03:24:14.280
relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

1173
03:24:30.159 --> 03:24:50.360
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

1174
03:24:50.440 --> 03:24:55.319
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because

1175
03:24:58.760 --> 03:25:01.479
I'm sure, like most of your body is not a

1176
03:25:01.559 --> 03:25:14.000
lot going on right now, Just focusing on the whole

1177
03:25:14.079 --> 03:25:20.520
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

1178
03:25:20.639 --> 03:25:27.680
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

1179
03:25:27.719 --> 03:25:32.680
and your inner thighs, basically the whole of your thigh

1180
03:25:32.760 --> 03:25:41.559
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

1181
03:25:41.719 --> 03:25:55.760
your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's

1182
03:25:55.799 --> 03:26:01.319
a very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest

1183
03:26:02.280 --> 03:26:15.520
muscles in your body are in your thighs. But I

1184
03:26:15.520 --> 03:26:23.920
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1185
03:26:29.799 --> 03:26:40.520
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1186
03:26:40.719 --> 03:27:01.399
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

1187
03:27:01.440 --> 03:27:11.920
through our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,

1188
03:27:11.959 --> 03:27:20.440
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

1189
03:27:20.479 --> 03:27:28.239
our thighs need some TLC, a bit of love shone,

1190
03:27:29.120 --> 03:27:47.159
a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what

1191
03:27:47.200 --> 03:27:56.319
our thighs do for us. And I know this may

1192
03:27:56.520 --> 03:28:02.799
sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I

1193
03:28:02.920 --> 03:28:05.639
surely how I should be out in the garden hugging

1194
03:28:05.680 --> 03:28:13.639
a tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a

1195
03:28:13.680 --> 03:28:17.360
microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.

1196
03:28:17.399 --> 03:28:20.959
Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. Now I

1197
03:28:21.000 --> 03:28:29.760
can't see the television from the tree. If you move

1198
03:28:29.840 --> 03:28:39.719
down to your knees gaining such an important part, and

1199
03:28:39.760 --> 03:28:44.399
I think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here,

1200
03:28:46.680 --> 03:28:51.799
I don't necessarily appreciate all that my knees do for

1201
03:28:51.920 --> 03:28:57.760
me until I have a problem with my knee. It's

1202
03:28:57.799 --> 03:29:03.440
occasionally if ivor maybe i'll pash it, or it's aching

1203
03:29:03.600 --> 03:29:10.040
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much

1204
03:29:10.120 --> 03:29:14.559
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to

1205
03:29:14.680 --> 03:29:24.680
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

1206
03:29:24.719 --> 03:29:33.559
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

1207
03:29:34.600 --> 03:29:41.680
You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

1208
03:29:43.719 --> 03:29:49.440
regardless of how your knees feel. You can have that

1209
03:29:49.639 --> 03:29:55.879
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all

1210
03:29:55.959 --> 03:30:08.280
that they do for you, and you can still have

1211
03:30:08.319 --> 03:30:12.520
that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your

1212
03:30:12.559 --> 03:30:24.479
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more

1213
03:30:26.239 --> 03:30:37.959
deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,

1214
03:30:38.319 --> 03:30:43.760
your shins and your calf muscles and the bones between

1215
03:30:43.920 --> 03:30:50.159
your knees and your feet incorporate, and of course your

1216
03:30:50.159 --> 03:31:04.360
ankles so important. It's had. Even the slightest sprain of

1217
03:31:04.399 --> 03:31:12.000
an ankle knows how how much we take our ankles

1218
03:31:12.079 --> 03:31:20.280
for granted. And it's kind of strange in a way

1219
03:31:20.319 --> 03:31:25.959
when you think that. You know, logically, our wrists are

1220
03:31:26.000 --> 03:31:30.079
a lot thinner than the rest of our arms, which

1221
03:31:30.159 --> 03:31:33.399
is okay, it doesn't I can't see any problem with

1222
03:31:33.440 --> 03:31:39.040
that because we're just picking stuff up. But our ankles

1223
03:31:40.680 --> 03:31:50.680
so much thinner than the rest of our legs, and

1224
03:31:50.719 --> 03:31:55.280
from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really

1225
03:31:55.360 --> 03:32:02.600
make sense that all this weight would ultimately be resting

1226
03:32:03.600 --> 03:32:13.639
on your ankles then leading to your feet. That thin area,

1227
03:32:14.799 --> 03:32:21.760
a thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work

1228
03:32:23.879 --> 03:32:33.600
supports us, supports our body for a lifetime, helps us

1229
03:32:34.079 --> 03:32:43.479
to balance, It helps you to get around and be mobile.

1230
03:32:49.760 --> 03:32:57.760
And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger,

1231
03:32:57.959 --> 03:33:01.040
I couldn't see the point in calf muscles. I didn't

1232
03:33:01.040 --> 03:33:06.440
seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,

1233
03:33:07.159 --> 03:33:11.040
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course

1234
03:33:11.079 --> 03:33:15.280
that's not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever

1235
03:33:15.319 --> 03:33:27.280
we use our legs, and your shins there to protect

1236
03:33:29.200 --> 03:33:37.879
your lower legs, shaped in a way almost as a

1237
03:33:37.920 --> 03:33:50.360
protector for the bone, leading of course to your ankles

1238
03:33:53.559 --> 03:34:00.239
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on

1239
03:34:00.280 --> 03:34:02.479
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.

1240
03:34:04.440 --> 03:34:09.079
I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet, it

1241
03:34:09.200 --> 03:34:14.159
probably focuses on them anyway. For maybe I should focus

1242
03:34:14.200 --> 03:34:20.040
on your feet a little bit. You can have them

1243
03:34:20.079 --> 03:34:25.879
in your awareness the same as you have your thighs

1244
03:34:25.920 --> 03:34:30.319
in your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing on

1245
03:34:30.360 --> 03:34:38.360
your thighs a few minutes, we'll be focusing on your ankles.

1246
03:34:42.239 --> 03:34:57.440
There's still that sensation of comfort in your thighs, and

1247
03:34:57.559 --> 03:35:07.000
there's that movement of energy because the thighs hold lots

1248
03:35:07.040 --> 03:35:12.639
of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles, the big

1249
03:35:12.879 --> 03:35:25.159
straw muscles that we have in our thighs. But the

1250
03:35:25.200 --> 03:35:31.200
skin on the outside of the thighs, as in the

1251
03:35:31.280 --> 03:35:36.920
outside of all of our body, can be very sensitive,

1252
03:35:40.760 --> 03:35:54.040
sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature. And inside your

1253
03:35:54.079 --> 03:36:01.559
thighs the bones, there's the muscle all there's the blood, vessels,

1254
03:36:01.680 --> 03:36:07.920
the arch trees, all this stuff. It's inside your thighs.

1255
03:36:11.799 --> 03:36:15.000
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could

1256
03:36:15.000 --> 03:36:20.639
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and a message,

1257
03:36:22.760 --> 03:36:26.319
so you can message on the outside, of course, but

1258
03:36:26.399 --> 03:36:29.520
to be able to get deep into the muscles and

1259
03:36:29.600 --> 03:36:34.719
to be able to just message inside your thighs, message

1260
03:36:34.760 --> 03:36:42.840
in the bones of your leg, massage in all the

1261
03:36:42.959 --> 03:36:53.639
veins and just gently heathing your thighs, and you could

1262
03:36:53.680 --> 03:37:01.520
move down message and inside your knees, massage in those bones,

1263
03:37:02.479 --> 03:37:09.559
but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into

1264
03:37:09.600 --> 03:37:19.079
the joints of your knees. Of course, there's the back

1265
03:37:19.319 --> 03:37:24.239
of your your knee, you know, the inside crease where

1266
03:37:24.280 --> 03:37:31.719
your knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Very it

1267
03:37:31.760 --> 03:37:35.760
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be

1268
03:37:35.760 --> 03:37:39.760
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

1269
03:37:41.760 --> 03:37:48.680
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1270
03:37:48.719 --> 03:37:55.799
It's almost it's like a part that has a sensitivity,

1271
03:37:55.879 --> 03:38:06.399
which is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected

1272
03:38:06.440 --> 03:38:17.760
by your legs. So you can imagine putting your fingers

1273
03:38:17.799 --> 03:38:27.239
into that crease in your legs, that fold in between

1274
03:38:27.280 --> 03:38:32.360
your legs. You can just message with your fingertips. Imagine

1275
03:38:32.399 --> 03:38:43.440
your fingertips going inside, massage in the muscle tissue. You

1276
03:38:43.520 --> 03:38:49.520
can of course field the bones of your knees heading

1277
03:38:49.760 --> 03:39:02.520
through your fingertips, and then as you go down to

1278
03:39:02.559 --> 03:39:05.360
your calf muscles. Now that's the part I'd like to

1279
03:39:05.399 --> 03:39:10.879
be able to really put my fingertips deep inside my

1280
03:39:11.040 --> 03:39:19.760
calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,

1281
03:39:21.319 --> 03:39:31.280
healing every part. And then doing the same for my shins,

1282
03:39:34.440 --> 03:39:41.360
massage in and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them,

1283
03:39:42.239 --> 03:39:46.440
healing in a loving way, because they deserve to be

1284
03:39:46.520 --> 03:39:53.760
treated as the precious bones that they are. Because our

1285
03:39:53.840 --> 03:39:57.440
legs are so precious as in all the other parts

1286
03:39:57.479 --> 03:40:05.159
of our body, the more precious of any jure on

1287
03:40:05.239 --> 03:40:21.680
the planet. When you start to think about your legs

1288
03:40:21.719 --> 03:40:32.840
in this way, it can change your perspective. It might

1289
03:40:33.040 --> 03:40:39.760
sound a bit a bit silly to start with the

1290
03:40:39.799 --> 03:40:47.959
idea of having love for your legs, showing appreciation for

1291
03:40:48.079 --> 03:40:54.159
your thighs, wanting to be able to put your hands

1292
03:40:55.079 --> 03:41:02.040
in your thighs and massage the muscle and the bones,

1293
03:41:03.840 --> 03:41:09.559
and to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

1294
03:41:12.399 --> 03:41:21.239
just to show how much you care about your legs,

1295
03:41:21.920 --> 03:41:25.719
how much you care for what your legs do for

1296
03:41:25.840 --> 03:41:39.479
you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength

1297
03:41:39.559 --> 03:41:47.639
of your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to

1298
03:41:47.760 --> 03:41:54.520
the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're

1299
03:41:54.600 --> 03:42:06.879
so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are

1300
03:42:10.719 --> 03:42:15.840
truly a gift because of what they do for you,

1301
03:42:21.280 --> 03:42:28.280
supporting all that weight, regardless of how what weight you are,

1302
03:42:29.399 --> 03:42:34.200
even if you only ate stone, there's still a lot

1303
03:42:34.239 --> 03:42:40.959
of weight for these little ankles. Now, I'm a lot

1304
03:42:41.120 --> 03:42:51.120
heavier than eight stone double dock, yet my ankles support

1305
03:42:51.159 --> 03:42:58.559
my body all the time. Although they do give off

1306
03:42:58.559 --> 03:43:04.120
a sigh of relief when a thing it down. As fact,

1307
03:43:04.159 --> 03:43:13.079
my whole legs do my feet feet also go and

1308
03:43:13.120 --> 03:43:40.879
my toes clap. We're so happy. Your legs really are amazing.

1309
03:43:43.479 --> 03:43:47.159
And I know that talking about talking about your legs

1310
03:43:47.239 --> 03:43:53.879
is probably possibly among the most most boring things you've

1311
03:43:53.879 --> 03:44:02.920
ever heard anyone say. Possibly a boring or not, everything

1312
03:44:02.959 --> 03:44:18.479
I said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs

1313
03:44:18.600 --> 03:44:38.159
deserve not just respect, they deserve to relax deeply. They

1314
03:44:38.239 --> 03:44:43.600
deserve to take some time out of the day to

1315
03:44:43.799 --> 03:45:19.959
just let go completely. Your legs really can relax. And

1316
03:45:20.079 --> 03:45:24.040
because the legs are so such a most you know,

1317
03:45:24.280 --> 03:45:30.239
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1318
03:45:30.280 --> 03:45:37.559
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that

1319
03:45:41.239 --> 03:45:52.159
journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

1320
03:45:53.479 --> 03:46:00.639
My hips feel really loose, and also my lower back

1321
03:46:00.680 --> 03:46:07.319
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1322
03:46:08.399 --> 03:46:11.479
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1323
03:46:11.520 --> 03:46:16.799
no stretching as far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1324
03:46:17.799 --> 03:46:20.479
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1325
03:46:20.680 --> 03:46:26.639
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension

1326
03:46:27.520 --> 03:46:48.799
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

1327
03:46:48.840 --> 03:46:58.280
down from ten down to one, and you can continue

1328
03:46:58.559 --> 03:47:24.879
to feel wonderfully relaxed. Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five

1329
03:47:29.479 --> 03:47:57.520
four three two one relax. So I'm just going to

1330
03:47:57.600 --> 03:48:03.239
count down for five down to one. And as a countdown,

1331
03:48:04.280 --> 03:48:09.319
if you just focus on the numbers, just the numbers

1332
03:48:10.680 --> 03:48:19.719
counting down, and notice how you feel in this moment

1333
03:48:21.440 --> 03:48:25.879
as you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those

1334
03:48:26.000 --> 03:48:39.120
numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer, not just in

1335
03:48:39.159 --> 03:48:47.680
your body, but also relaxing your mind. Just notice how

1336
03:48:47.760 --> 03:48:53.639
you feel. There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say,

1337
03:48:54.280 --> 03:49:11.360
there's nothing to think about, starting with number five, four

1338
03:49:20.840 --> 03:49:33.440
three two.

1339
03:49:37.879 --> 03:49:38.120
One.

1340
03:49:47.559 --> 03:49:59.399
Now, as you notice the gradual letting go of the

1341
03:49:59.559 --> 03:50:06.520
tension and in your body, you may also begin to

1342
03:50:06.760 --> 03:50:14.079
notice and be aware of how your mind is starting

1343
03:50:14.479 --> 03:50:23.600
to slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1344
03:50:25.079 --> 03:50:30.280
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1345
03:50:30.360 --> 03:50:36.280
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax.

1346
03:50:37.840 --> 03:50:41.520
And the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1347
03:50:41.639 --> 03:50:52.280
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And is that

1348
03:50:53.399 --> 03:51:01.440
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even if

1349
03:51:01.440 --> 03:51:09.040
there's background sounds either your side online, it's still going

1350
03:51:09.120 --> 03:51:14.200
to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got the

1351
03:51:14.280 --> 03:51:19.440
television on, there's no music in the background unless you're

1352
03:51:19.479 --> 03:51:27.079
listening to the recording. With music, of course, you're very

1353
03:51:27.200 --> 03:51:29.120
likely not going to be sitting in a room with

1354
03:51:29.200 --> 03:51:34.040
other people. Of course you might be, but generally it's

1355
03:51:34.680 --> 03:51:36.959
more ideal if you can do this on your own,

1356
03:51:38.639 --> 03:51:48.799
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1357
03:51:55.280 --> 03:52:05.600
relaxation automatically rises, a sense of comfort starts to grow,

1358
03:52:10.040 --> 03:52:16.799
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1359
03:52:17.159 --> 03:52:28.920
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1360
03:52:29.040 --> 03:52:40.040
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost the sense

1361
03:52:40.120 --> 03:52:46.920
of relaxing completely happens really when you put no effort

1362
03:52:47.280 --> 03:52:51.200
into it. It's not something that you can really force.

1363
03:52:53.799 --> 03:53:03.520
It's something that happens naturally. And part of the process

1364
03:53:03.559 --> 03:53:14.959
of this recording and others is simply to allow you

1365
03:53:17.159 --> 03:53:28.079
to take advantage of this space, this time, to just

1366
03:53:32.200 --> 03:53:43.040
let go, to just be here, to be in tune

1367
03:53:43.440 --> 03:53:55.559
with how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting

1368
03:53:55.840 --> 03:54:07.959
to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending

1369
03:54:08.159 --> 03:54:14.479
on what it is that you wish for yourself in

1370
03:54:14.520 --> 03:54:30.680
this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority of

1371
03:54:30.799 --> 03:54:35.559
the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part

1372
03:54:35.639 --> 03:54:43.920
is a tiny bit of the end. The deeper relaxed

1373
03:54:44.200 --> 03:55:06.360
you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. You can also,

1374
03:55:06.479 --> 03:55:16.600
if you choose, stay focused on my voice and really

1375
03:55:17.040 --> 03:55:46.360
enjoy the process of gradually relaxing each muscle in your

1376
03:55:46.399 --> 03:56:21.000
body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.

1377
03:56:26.959 --> 03:56:34.000
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,

1378
03:56:35.879 --> 03:56:45.040
and you can notice your mind calming down more with

1379
03:56:45.440 --> 03:57:00.639
each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calms

1380
03:57:04.319 --> 03:59:59.920
and peaceful, six, five, four, three, two, one, being away

1381
04:00:00.079 --> 04:00:12.239
care of how your mind has slowed right down, sinking

1382
04:00:14.840 --> 04:00:35.159
deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1383
04:00:35.440 --> 04:00:47.959
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,

1384
04:00:47.959 --> 04:00:57.520
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

1385
04:00:57.600 --> 04:01:12.840
your attention. So what you can do is send love

1386
04:01:13.040 --> 04:01:26.680
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love, like at

1387
04:01:26.840 --> 04:01:32.479
petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals

1388
04:01:32.520 --> 04:01:39.760
filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts

1389
04:01:39.959 --> 04:01:46.799
know that you're not abandoned in them. You just need them.

1390
04:01:48.000 --> 04:01:59.079
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet

1391
04:01:59.440 --> 04:02:14.840
down for now. So as you focus on those remaining

1392
04:02:15.000 --> 04:02:20.280
thoughts as we count down this time from seven down

1393
04:02:20.319 --> 04:02:29.440
to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower

1394
04:02:29.520 --> 04:02:48.639
petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which will

1395
04:02:48.639 --> 04:02:58.639
allow them to just melt away and relax deeply. With

1396
04:02:58.799 --> 04:03:13.040
every number, they thoughts would become more and more relaxed,

1397
04:03:18.600 --> 04:05:42.639
starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, two one.

1398
04:05:49.719 --> 04:06:06.760
The noted thing. Now, notice how relaxed you're feeling in

1399
04:06:06.799 --> 04:06:28.399
your body. We're going to focus on your hands, because

1400
04:06:28.479 --> 04:06:34.760
the more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your

1401
04:06:34.799 --> 04:06:37.040
body and mind are.

1402
04:06:51.959 --> 04:06:52.280
And this.

1403
04:06:54.079 --> 04:07:04.280
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing

1404
04:07:04.760 --> 04:07:09.479
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or

1405
04:07:10.559 --> 04:07:20.920
tents in the fingers or anything like that. It's just

1406
04:07:21.360 --> 04:07:35.440
noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

1407
04:07:50.040 --> 04:08:00.319
Because the more relaxed your hands feel, I can't may

1408
04:08:00.399 --> 04:08:11.719
your mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout

1409
04:08:12.000 --> 04:08:44.680
your body. You may have already noticed your mind is

1410
04:08:47.520 --> 04:09:14.479
starting to dress. Fixing just on your hands and fingers,

1411
04:09:19.280 --> 04:09:33.159
allowing them to experience a real deepening of that relaxation

1412
04:09:34.840 --> 04:09:52.760
in your hands and fingers, more and more relaxed with

1413
04:09:52.920 --> 04:10:11.639
each number from eight down to one. You can almost

1414
04:10:13.399 --> 04:10:23.159
feel that healing and relaxing energy spreading into your hands

1415
04:10:24.079 --> 04:10:44.799
and fingers, becoming yell more relaxing with each number you

1416
04:10:45.159 --> 04:11:04.520
hear going down from eight down to one, drifting twisting again,

1417
04:11:09.479 --> 04:14:20.959
starting with number eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two,

1418
04:15:10.120 --> 04:15:19.639
just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1419
04:15:21.040 --> 04:15:35.000
nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer. And this

1420
04:15:35.280 --> 04:15:43.000
is your natural state of being. This is how you

1421
04:15:43.159 --> 04:15:50.120
just normally feel when you take away all that other

1422
04:15:50.440 --> 04:15:57.559
stuff that we add, you know, things like stress and

1423
04:15:57.600 --> 04:16:13.879
worrying and overthinking and anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff.

1424
04:16:15.799 --> 04:16:19.319
When you take that away, which is what we do

1425
04:16:19.879 --> 04:16:31.799
what we do now, you're left with a real sense

1426
04:16:32.399 --> 04:16:44.959
of peacefulness which comes to you very quickly because ultimately

1427
04:16:45.559 --> 04:16:59.239
it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort. It's almost

1428
04:16:59.319 --> 04:17:02.959
as if you've got inside yourself and you've found a

1429
04:17:03.120 --> 04:17:17.159
special place where everything is peaceful, a place where you

1430
04:17:17.200 --> 04:17:27.760
can feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort, a

1431
04:17:27.840 --> 04:17:36.440
place where you can be you, where you can accept

1432
04:17:36.479 --> 04:17:42.680
yourself for who you are, a place where you're not

1433
04:17:42.760 --> 04:17:53.280
trying to please anybody else ever, a place where you

1434
04:17:53.319 --> 04:18:02.600
can actually not just love for yourself, but in some

1435
04:18:02.639 --> 04:18:12.159
ways more importantly, you can like yourself, appreciate who you are.

1436
04:18:20.959 --> 04:18:27.639
That sense of gratitude is in the air all around you.

1437
04:18:35.239 --> 04:18:43.120
That's also a place where you can actually feel the

1438
04:18:43.440 --> 04:18:58.760
healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into

1439
04:18:58.799 --> 04:19:08.920
your body, and that healing energy spreads through your veins,

1440
04:19:12.559 --> 04:19:23.479
traveling to each and every single part of your body,

1441
04:19:25.360 --> 04:19:30.000
and you start to realize that actually that healing energy,

1442
04:19:32.399 --> 04:19:38.840
it's not just entered into your brain, it's become part

1443
04:19:39.360 --> 04:19:50.639
of your brain, and that spinal fluid is now mixed

1444
04:19:50.719 --> 04:20:01.920
with healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so

1445
04:20:02.120 --> 04:20:14.040
much more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but also

1446
04:20:16.959 --> 04:20:24.479
you start to realize that actually, what's happening now with

1447
04:20:24.600 --> 04:20:35.280
that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body's actually changing

1448
04:20:35.600 --> 04:20:45.079
your life. It's actually changing the way you're going to

1449
04:20:45.200 --> 04:20:51.799
feel not just now, but tomorrow and the next day.

1450
04:20:53.680 --> 04:21:01.159
As your health improves, not just your physical health but

1451
04:21:01.280 --> 04:21:08.760
your mental health. Things that used to bother you in

1452
04:21:08.799 --> 04:21:16.399
the past for some reason, no longer have the effect

1453
04:21:16.920 --> 04:21:25.840
that they used to because something has changed deep within you.

1454
04:21:30.920 --> 04:21:37.360
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1455
04:21:41.159 --> 04:21:51.280
no longer have that power to control you the way

1456
04:21:51.319 --> 04:21:59.360
they seem to be able to before. As you realize

1457
04:22:00.360 --> 04:22:13.280
that you're the one who decides what affects you, you're

1458
04:22:13.319 --> 04:22:23.200
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm when

1459
04:22:24.120 --> 04:22:40.479
you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing,

1460
04:22:41.600 --> 04:22:50.920
continuing to grow and improve your life day by day,

1461
04:22:56.079 --> 04:23:04.319
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier

1462
04:23:09.280 --> 04:23:18.520
and sleep in. It's the most natural thing in the

1463
04:23:18.559 --> 04:23:28.239
world to you, because falling asleep is something that you've

1464
04:23:28.399 --> 04:23:39.120
done so many times in your life, and you know

1465
04:23:39.319 --> 04:23:44.159
that you were born, as we all were, with the

1466
04:23:44.280 --> 04:23:55.360
ability to fall asleep naturally. We were born with that

1467
04:23:56.159 --> 04:24:13.959
ability us drift off into a deep, healing sleep. Even

1468
04:24:14.000 --> 04:24:18.760
when we're kids. Sometimes we'll fall asleep when we don't

1469
04:24:18.760 --> 04:24:24.799
even want to try to take us stay awake. Maybe

1470
04:24:24.840 --> 04:24:28.239
it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or

1471
04:24:29.040 --> 04:24:32.120
holiday or something we look forward to. We don't want

1472
04:24:32.120 --> 04:24:36.680
to go to sleep, But the more we want to

1473
04:24:36.719 --> 04:24:46.040
stay awake, the more we just start to drift, and

1474
04:24:46.120 --> 04:24:50.040
the more you fight drifting. The more you try and

1475
04:24:50.159 --> 04:24:55.200
stop yourself and drift in a shape, the deeper and

1476
04:24:55.360 --> 04:25:07.000
stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not just with

1477
04:25:07.159 --> 04:25:13.600
the need to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep,

1478
04:25:16.840 --> 04:25:30.159
but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA, and

1479
04:25:30.399 --> 04:25:36.040
sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at times

1480
04:25:36.760 --> 04:25:49.799
we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's not only a

1481
04:25:50.000 --> 04:26:14.360
wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very very

1482
04:26:14.760 --> 04:26:20.600
easy to let go, because that's all it is. It's

1483
04:26:20.799 --> 04:26:35.479
just deciding to let go. And when you press the

1484
04:26:35.600 --> 04:26:45.959
play button on my recordings, you have given permission for

1485
04:26:46.159 --> 04:26:54.559
my voice to relax you. When you press that play button,

1486
04:26:55.559 --> 04:27:06.559
you've given me permission for my words to affect you

1487
04:27:07.200 --> 04:27:23.719
in a positive, only a positive way, opening up your

1488
04:27:23.840 --> 04:27:46.559
mind to useful and healing suggestions that can have such

1489
04:27:46.600 --> 04:27:58.719
an amazing effect on how you feel right now, as

1490
04:27:58.840 --> 04:28:09.719
well as those changes that continue long after the recording ends.

1491
04:28:11.440 --> 04:28:20.600
Those changes within you to continue to flourish and grow,

1492
04:28:25.120 --> 04:28:39.040
transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way, allowing you

1493
04:28:39.399 --> 04:28:45.760
to move forward in your life in the direction that

1494
04:28:46.040 --> 04:29:03.200
you choose for yourself. And this feeling, this feeling that

1495
04:29:03.360 --> 04:29:28.200
you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness just feels so nice.

1496
04:29:28.799 --> 04:29:41.559
It's such a healthy place to be, and that positivity

1497
04:29:42.879 --> 04:30:01.879
grows within you each and every day. Moving forward, you're

1498
04:30:02.000 --> 04:30:12.920
going to find that you're more relaxed physically and in

1499
04:30:12.959 --> 04:30:21.879
your mind is more relaxed. And it's not that you're

1500
04:30:21.920 --> 04:30:27.680
thinking slower. It's just that your mind will be less

1501
04:30:28.399 --> 04:30:40.040
clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from now on, your

1502
04:30:40.200 --> 04:30:49.959
mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're going to start

1503
04:30:50.159 --> 04:31:06.680
noticing when negativity arises, and you can just say stop, stop,

1504
04:31:09.360 --> 04:31:23.440
and that negativity will turn around and leave you alone.

1505
04:31:24.120 --> 04:31:43.479
Stop and that negativity will disappear. And as you notice

1506
04:31:43.719 --> 04:31:52.239
that you feel way more relaxed than you probably expect it,

1507
04:31:58.200 --> 04:32:07.799
you can now congratulate yourself because you're the person that

1508
04:32:07.920 --> 04:32:14.079
has done this. You are the one that has opened

1509
04:32:14.239 --> 04:32:21.959
your mind up to the simple facts that you can

1510
04:32:22.399 --> 04:32:31.319
feel more relaxed in your body and in your mind.

1511
04:32:33.200 --> 04:32:39.159
You've opened your mind up to the birthright of being

1512
04:32:39.200 --> 04:32:56.079
able to just fall asleep easily when you choose. And

1513
04:32:56.159 --> 04:33:03.159
that's a nice feeling. Don't you think it feels nice?

1514
04:33:03.239 --> 04:33:12.639
Doesn't it to feel calm all that healing energy is

1515
04:33:12.720 --> 04:33:23.639
spreading through your body and your mind to spend time

1516
04:33:25.880 --> 04:33:41.840
a special place where negativity can no longer enter. Negativity

1517
04:33:42.000 --> 04:33:51.000
is banned. It's bad, it's not allowed entry doesn't it doesn't.

1518
04:33:51.040 --> 04:33:55.040
This doesn't deserve to be here. It doesn't belong here.

1519
04:33:58.720 --> 04:34:13.639
Negativity has no place in your life. Which makes room

1520
04:34:13.799 --> 04:34:44.840
feel more comfort, more heathing, more relaxation, more peace. It

1521
04:34:44.880 --> 04:35:10.360
feels nice, doesn't it. Just let go with everything. I'm

1522
04:35:10.400 --> 04:35:18.040
gonna count down now from twenty down to one. You

1523
04:35:18.159 --> 04:35:28.119
can continue to relax. If you choose, you can drift

1524
04:35:29.279 --> 04:35:42.560
to sleep. With every number you hear me say, you

1525
04:35:42.639 --> 04:35:50.040
can fill twice as relaxed, or if you choose, you

1526
04:35:50.119 --> 04:38:03.880
can feel twice as sleepy. Now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven,

1527
04:38:04.919 --> 04:38:59.240
six five. Ooh, this is your time to just take

1528
04:38:59.279 --> 04:39:14.400
a break, your time to relax, to allow your mind

1529
04:39:14.560 --> 04:39:31.240
to slow down, to give yourself a permission to take

1530
04:39:31.680 --> 04:39:45.560
a break from everything. And you're the only person that

1531
04:39:45.680 --> 04:39:51.680
can make that decision. You're the only person that can

1532
04:39:51.720 --> 04:40:11.400
actually tell your mind to just relax, to just take

1533
04:40:11.520 --> 04:40:24.720
some time off so that you can focus on your body,

1534
04:40:25.680 --> 04:40:40.639
getting in touch with how you feel physically, and in

1535
04:40:40.720 --> 04:40:48.520
the process of this body scan, where you focus on

1536
04:40:48.680 --> 04:40:58.840
different parts of your body, those parts that you focus

1537
04:40:58.919 --> 04:41:10.680
on and deserve, even though you're not purposely requesting for

1538
04:41:10.840 --> 04:41:16.880
those parts of your body to relax, it's kind of expected.

1539
04:41:18.439 --> 04:41:24.080
You expect when you listen to my voice to feel

1540
04:41:25.000 --> 04:41:38.759
more relaxed naturally, because when you're listening to me, your

1541
04:41:38.759 --> 04:41:51.159
attention is focused on my words, and as my words

1542
04:41:52.000 --> 04:42:03.799
guide you to focus on those parts of your body,

1543
04:42:06.000 --> 04:42:28.159
your focus increases, which actually calms your mind. And when

1544
04:42:28.200 --> 04:42:47.560
your mind calms down, your body relaxes. And when your

1545
04:42:47.599 --> 04:43:11.439
body calms down, your mind relaxes. And even though we've

1546
04:43:11.520 --> 04:43:20.400
not really started the focus on your body, you can

1547
04:43:21.000 --> 04:43:36.400
already feel that healing energy spreading through your body, pushing

1548
04:43:36.599 --> 04:43:50.880
out stress and tension, healing All the parts of your body,

1549
04:43:52.759 --> 04:44:00.520
including your skin, your bones, your blood, all of your

1550
04:44:00.639 --> 04:44:06.400
organs inside your body, all of the muscles, all of

1551
04:44:06.439 --> 04:44:13.959
the fat, all of everything, every hair on your body

1552
04:44:16.080 --> 04:44:27.439
is filled with that healing energy. And when your brain

1553
04:44:32.040 --> 04:44:45.240
fills with that healing energy, the feeling of comfort and

1554
04:44:45.439 --> 04:44:59.919
relaxation increases, deeply increase.

1555
04:45:00.000 --> 04:45:00.479
This is.

1556
04:45:06.599 --> 04:45:20.319
In a way that your mind starts to feel perhaps

1557
04:45:20.520 --> 04:45:33.680
bit drowsy because it's not needed, and it may start

1558
04:45:36.959 --> 04:45:52.560
to drift if that's what's needed. So if you're listening

1559
04:45:52.799 --> 04:45:58.799
to this and what you need is deep relaxation, that's

1560
04:45:58.840 --> 04:46:05.319
what you'll get. If what you need is to fall

1561
04:46:05.400 --> 04:46:15.159
asleep naturally and easily as your mind drifts, that's also

1562
04:46:16.599 --> 04:46:29.560
what will happen. Because by pressing that play button on

1563
04:46:29.639 --> 04:46:36.680
the podcast and listening to me, you give permission your

1564
04:46:36.720 --> 04:46:47.680
body and your mind. In fact, you give the command

1565
04:46:49.159 --> 04:47:00.159
to your body and your mind to rerect deeply and

1566
04:47:00.279 --> 04:47:06.000
to drift off to sleep if that's what you want

1567
04:47:09.439 --> 04:47:21.919
or need. And as I focus on the different parts

1568
04:47:22.279 --> 04:47:36.439
of your body, you may start to just drift. And

1569
04:47:36.479 --> 04:47:40.319
then you come back again and you hear me talking

1570
04:47:40.560 --> 04:47:48.799
and I'm focusing on a different part of your body.

1571
04:47:50.520 --> 04:47:59.439
You may find yourself drifting, but you don't realize you're

1572
04:47:59.520 --> 04:48:07.759
drifting until you stop drifting and you're alert again to

1573
04:48:07.880 --> 04:48:13.919
my voice. Focusing on a different part of your body

1574
04:48:15.159 --> 04:48:25.720
starts to relax even deeper, because that drifting is basically

1575
04:48:25.880 --> 04:48:38.240
you already in the sleep zone. And the more you drift,

1576
04:48:39.000 --> 04:48:47.200
the longer you drift. And the longer you drift, eventually

1577
04:48:48.880 --> 04:48:58.840
that drifting continues into sleep, and that's the last you

1578
04:48:58.919 --> 04:49:09.520
remember until you wake up in your own time. When

1579
04:49:09.560 --> 04:49:18.360
you experience the right amount of sleep. Fear, because when

1580
04:49:18.360 --> 04:49:23.240
you do and if you do fall asleep.

1581
04:49:22.840 --> 04:49:37.720
It's extremely pleasant, so relaxing, so deep, healing.

1582
04:49:39.680 --> 04:49:57.560
Sleep. It feels so nice to relax into your own

1583
04:49:57.720 --> 04:49:59.200
body and mind.

1584
04:50:02.799 --> 04:50:04.040
As you as you.

1585
04:50:04.159 --> 04:50:11.919
Feel that heating energy is spreading through it, relaxing us

1586
04:50:12.119 --> 04:50:33.680
so deeply, relaxing us so so deeply. As we start

1587
04:50:33.840 --> 04:50:49.880
to focus on your eyes, moving down to your jaw,

1588
04:50:57.799 --> 04:51:40.240
down to your neck, your shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, your chest,

1589
04:51:46.279 --> 04:52:21.000
your stomach, your back, your spine, your hips, your legs,

1590
04:52:28.159 --> 04:52:38.360
your feet, your.

1591
04:52:38.520 --> 04:52:58.080
Choice, and I'm feeding.

1592
04:53:00.159 --> 04:53:10.400
Things, spreading and growing inside your body, feeling you up.

1593
04:53:13.159 --> 04:53:26.720
Now let's focus again on parts of your body, focusing

1594
04:53:26.840 --> 04:53:37.919
this time on your forehead. Now on your mouth, your lips,

1595
04:53:39.880 --> 04:53:59.799
your tongue, the whole of your mouth. Focusing on your fingers.

1596
04:54:05.159 --> 04:54:09.799
Maybe you could move your fingers a little bit. You

1597
04:54:09.919 --> 04:54:25.560
can focus on each one individually, both hands, and even

1598
04:54:25.599 --> 04:54:29.400
though if you focus on both of your hands now

1599
04:54:30.959 --> 04:54:39.159
they almost seem to just melt into one where there

1600
04:54:39.240 --> 04:54:43.000
is your right hand start and your left hand end,

1601
04:54:46.520 --> 04:54:58.680
almost as if just mixed together. Now, focusing on your knees,

1602
04:55:04.560 --> 04:55:27.599
just noticing how your knees feel. Now, focusing on your elbows,

1603
04:55:30.279 --> 04:55:45.200
focusing on both of your elbows, just observing the feeling

1604
04:55:45.400 --> 04:56:17.360
of your elbows. Now focusing absurding the back of your neck,

1605
04:56:27.279 --> 04:57:05.080
feeding the energy on the back of your neck, Observing

1606
04:57:07.279 --> 04:57:26.680
your ankles, being aware of physical sensations in your ankles,

1607
04:58:26.680 --> 04:58:45.759
noticin now your toes, on both of your feet, being

1608
04:58:45.840 --> 04:59:41.360
aware how you toes feel right now, Notice thin high

1609
04:59:42.159 --> 05:00:31.040
entire body fails, noticing your mind feels now letting go,

1610
05:00:39.599 --> 05:01:21.000
letting go, letting go everything, letting go, letting go, letting

1611
05:01:21.680 --> 05:01:48.319
go everything everything. I'm going to start now, and I

1612
05:01:48.319 --> 05:01:50.439
would like you just, first of all, just to see

1613
05:01:50.479 --> 05:01:58.720
yourself lying down on the message table, lying on your front.

1614
05:01:59.840 --> 05:02:07.799
You your head is supported, your arms are supported, and

1615
05:02:07.880 --> 05:02:14.200
you feel comfortable and breathing is really easy, and you

1616
05:02:14.360 --> 05:02:21.040
feel you feel confident in how you look as well.

1617
05:02:21.080 --> 05:02:25.959
So there's none of that issue of body problems or shyness,

1618
05:02:26.639 --> 05:02:34.799
because I'm a professional and this is a therapy session,

1619
05:02:35.560 --> 05:02:43.639
so none of that stuff matters whatsoever. This is about you.

1620
05:02:46.360 --> 05:02:52.240
This is about how you feel and how you can

1621
05:02:53.599 --> 05:02:59.400
enjoy that sense of comfort and relaxation that comes from

1622
05:03:00.599 --> 05:03:05.840
letting go and allow him my hands and my fingers

1623
05:03:06.200 --> 05:03:17.520
to relax you by a message in your body. So

1624
05:03:17.560 --> 05:03:20.520
I want to start off just by placing my hands

1625
05:03:22.599 --> 05:03:26.959
on the back of your head, just gently, just so

1626
05:03:27.040 --> 05:03:31.680
you can feel. Will my hands feel like really on you,

1627
05:03:36.119 --> 05:03:38.520
so you can maybe feel the warmth of my hands

1628
05:03:38.520 --> 05:03:43.919
on the back of your head. And with my hands

1629
05:03:43.919 --> 05:03:47.240
to the side of your head, not pressing, but just

1630
05:03:47.599 --> 05:03:53.959
holding there very gently, maybe over your ears, and a

1631
05:03:54.000 --> 05:03:57.560
little bit on your face, just so you can feel

1632
05:03:58.400 --> 05:04:13.439
my hands so you can become accustomed to them. And

1633
05:04:13.520 --> 05:04:15.799
now put my hands on the back of your head

1634
05:04:15.799 --> 05:04:23.279
again and gently let them slide down onto the back

1635
05:04:23.319 --> 05:04:40.680
of your neck. You can feel my hands gently stroke

1636
05:04:40.759 --> 05:04:47.279
in the back of your neck to start with, just

1637
05:04:47.319 --> 05:04:51.319
so you can get used to the the feeling of

1638
05:04:51.319 --> 05:04:58.880
my hands on your skin, get accustomed to realize that

1639
05:04:59.360 --> 05:05:09.479
you're safe and it's all good, it's all fine. And

1640
05:05:09.520 --> 05:05:13.680
I'm going to start gently massaging the muscles in the

1641
05:05:13.680 --> 05:05:29.599
back of your neck with both hands. Now, this is

1642
05:05:29.639 --> 05:05:36.080
a very trusting situation, really because our necks are so

1643
05:05:36.240 --> 05:05:41.279
fragile and to have someone have their hands around your

1644
05:05:41.360 --> 05:05:46.319
neck in that way can sometimes be problematic for people,

1645
05:05:47.479 --> 05:05:51.959
which is why massages are quite good because it allows

1646
05:05:52.000 --> 05:06:02.599
you to relax and to get in touch with trust,

1647
05:06:06.240 --> 05:06:18.159
to feel peaceful and calm. And there's a massage the

1648
05:06:18.439 --> 05:06:26.479
sides of your neck gently moving from the bottom of

1649
05:06:26.479 --> 05:06:30.240
your neck. It would be sort of near where your

1650
05:06:30.240 --> 05:06:36.000
shoulders start, I guess, all the way up to your jaw,

1651
05:06:37.759 --> 05:06:41.319
your ears, kind of area that side of your neck.

1652
05:06:44.040 --> 05:06:46.639
Of course it's a lot longer than the front of

1653
05:06:46.680 --> 05:07:02.799
your neck. Then message in the back of your neck,

1654
05:07:06.599 --> 05:07:15.400
especially that area where perhaps we hold tension, and as

1655
05:07:15.479 --> 05:07:20.159
that area's message, you can actually feel a sense of

1656
05:07:20.279 --> 05:07:28.360
release in the back of your neck, and maybe you

1657
05:07:28.479 --> 05:07:33.840
can breathe it out as well. Notice how it feels.

1658
05:07:34.040 --> 05:07:46.720
Notice how you feel. And then moving down to that

1659
05:07:46.880 --> 05:07:52.240
area between your neck and your shoulders, that musty area,

1660
05:07:54.919 --> 05:08:02.400
starting to message that area on both sides. I mean,

1661
05:08:02.400 --> 05:08:04.759
this would be the area that a lot of people

1662
05:08:04.759 --> 05:08:07.680
would message if they were going to give you like

1663
05:08:07.759 --> 05:08:13.680
a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders, but

1664
05:08:13.799 --> 05:08:18.080
it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders. From

1665
05:08:18.119 --> 05:08:24.520
the neck and a game that can hold tension and stress.

1666
05:08:25.720 --> 05:08:30.799
And when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful,

1667
05:08:33.799 --> 05:08:49.279
and you decide how deep that message is, and just

1668
05:08:49.439 --> 05:08:56.400
allow my knuckles just to dig in to get to

1669
05:08:56.479 --> 05:09:06.520
those muscles and to realy relaxed all the time being

1670
05:09:06.759 --> 05:09:24.279
firm yet gentle with you and just stroking down the

1671
05:09:24.479 --> 05:09:33.040
area to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of

1672
05:09:33.080 --> 05:09:44.240
your shoulders and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders

1673
05:09:44.240 --> 05:09:47.599
a little bit off the table, just to give you

1674
05:09:47.680 --> 05:09:58.119
a little bit of a stretch, but very gently. And

1675
05:09:58.200 --> 05:10:00.840
you've got the muscles at the front of your shoulders,

1676
05:10:01.479 --> 05:10:12.439
the sides and the back. Again, this is a part

1677
05:10:12.599 --> 05:10:18.000
that can really take quite a bit of pressure, quite

1678
05:10:18.000 --> 05:10:26.119
a bit of needing. If if you wish to really

1679
05:10:27.919 --> 05:10:33.439
release the tension to really get into those muscles and

1680
05:10:36.840 --> 05:10:40.200
you can let your fingers in there, you can feel

1681
05:10:40.360 --> 05:10:47.119
really nice. Sometimes it's just being stroked gently or being

1682
05:10:47.720 --> 05:10:58.520
massaged quite strongly. It can all be beneficial to the relaxation.

1683
05:11:03.639 --> 05:11:16.759
Put the muscles in your shoulders. Now to move down

1684
05:11:16.799 --> 05:11:27.240
your arms. Could do one arm at a time, starting

1685
05:11:27.360 --> 05:11:38.040
with your right arm, wild DearS, I just lift your

1686
05:11:38.159 --> 05:11:40.959
arm up just hold it to the side of you

1687
05:11:44.159 --> 05:11:49.000
by way it still be attached, and I just message

1688
05:11:50.479 --> 05:12:03.240
the tops of your arms all the way down to

1689
05:12:03.360 --> 05:12:30.319
your forearms, into your wrists, gently massaging that parts, the

1690
05:12:30.360 --> 05:12:37.159
softer part which is the underpart of the arm, which

1691
05:12:37.319 --> 05:12:42.240
leads to the crease in your elbow, the inside it's

1692
05:12:42.439 --> 05:13:03.240
much more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked really nice,

1693
05:13:03.680 --> 05:13:18.080
pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down to your right hand,

1694
05:13:23.599 --> 05:13:35.799
just holding your hand in both of my hands, just

1695
05:13:35.840 --> 05:13:42.200
pressing gently on the back of your hand and stretching

1696
05:13:42.319 --> 05:13:53.080
your fingers ever so lightly at the same time pressing

1697
05:13:53.200 --> 05:14:06.560
down and messaging each finger, and then starting to massage

1698
05:14:06.639 --> 05:14:17.240
the palms of the hand. Just turning the hand gently,

1699
05:14:18.959 --> 05:14:29.240
stretching it gently, and actually having your handheld can really

1700
05:14:29.319 --> 05:14:36.840
be an emotional experience sometimes even if it is a stranger,

1701
05:14:38.799 --> 05:14:42.520
so when you don't know very well, like a massage

1702
05:14:42.759 --> 05:14:56.240
person or a therapist, maybe because it's intimate and it

1703
05:14:56.319 --> 05:15:09.439
can feel nice and feel safe. And as I put

1704
05:15:09.560 --> 05:15:18.279
that right arm back down where it was, we did

1705
05:15:18.279 --> 05:15:29.959
the same with your left arm, exactly the same, massage

1706
05:15:30.080 --> 05:15:34.400
in the muscles in your arm all the way down.

1707
05:15:35.560 --> 05:15:47.919
Do you rest stroking the inside of your arm, just

1708
05:15:47.959 --> 05:16:01.560
being gentle or as firm as you require, and then

1709
05:16:01.680 --> 05:16:18.159
massaging your left hand, stretching the fingers, gently massaging the

1710
05:16:18.360 --> 05:16:37.840
palm of your left hand. And you feel so so relaxing,

1711
05:16:45.479 --> 05:17:03.439
so comforting, and I just rest your left down, back down.

1712
05:17:10.799 --> 05:17:21.720
Start to massage your back, the biggest part of your body,

1713
05:17:22.520 --> 05:17:29.400
starting at the top, starting again where we already have been,

1714
05:17:30.200 --> 05:17:34.919
the area at the top in between his shoulders, near

1715
05:17:34.959 --> 05:17:40.159
your neck. Going back the message in that area again,

1716
05:17:41.240 --> 05:17:55.000
but this time moving downwards, taking a downward stroke to

1717
05:17:55.040 --> 05:18:01.520
the middle of your back, working from the side inwards.

1718
05:18:02.720 --> 05:18:10.560
It's a massage in your back, but the outsides of

1719
05:18:10.680 --> 05:18:21.319
your back, the parts where your arms would maybe rest against,

1720
05:18:28.400 --> 05:18:33.880
almost the path that connects your front to your back.

1721
05:18:43.439 --> 05:18:52.240
Just messaging down firmly but gently, as firm as you want,

1722
05:18:55.639 --> 05:18:59.919
moving down and moving across a little bit, and move

1723
05:19:00.119 --> 05:19:06.119
all the way down again, be very gentle yet firm

1724
05:19:06.360 --> 05:19:18.000
as you choose. Eventually we get to the spine. We

1725
05:19:18.080 --> 05:19:22.200
can message the muscles and either side of your spine

1726
05:19:23.040 --> 05:19:26.080
from the top of your neck all the way down

1727
05:19:28.880 --> 05:19:37.880
to your lower back. We can do that a few times.

1728
05:19:40.840 --> 05:19:48.279
Sometimes people use the knuckle or the you know two

1729
05:19:48.400 --> 05:19:54.240
fingers and just go your side to the spine almost

1730
05:19:54.639 --> 05:19:57.720
just push down, go all the way down to the

1731
05:19:57.720 --> 05:20:06.360
bottom of the spine, each time releasing tension and opening

1732
05:20:06.439 --> 05:20:15.560
up the body, stretching your body so that you feel

1733
05:20:16.240 --> 05:20:33.720
more relaxed but at the same time rejuvenated. And now

1734
05:20:33.759 --> 05:20:42.040
I'm going to move to one side, to your right side,

1735
05:20:42.439 --> 05:20:47.319
and from the bottom of your ribs to your pelvis,

1736
05:20:48.040 --> 05:20:54.319
I'm going to massage that area of your back. I'll

1737
05:20:54.400 --> 05:20:57.439
stretch over the other side and i will pull the

1738
05:20:57.560 --> 05:21:04.400
muscles gently and massage and push from one end that

1739
05:21:04.599 --> 05:21:08.880
side or the way to my side to the middle

1740
05:21:08.919 --> 05:21:14.680
of fact to where your spine is. Massaging that side

1741
05:21:14.720 --> 05:21:19.119
of your spine the opposite side to where I'm standing.

1742
05:21:21.479 --> 05:21:27.479
It's almost like kneading bread. There's that big area which

1743
05:21:27.560 --> 05:21:39.360
is firm yet lots there to message. Potentially one of

1744
05:21:39.360 --> 05:21:46.040
the most important places to actually have a message, because

1745
05:21:46.080 --> 05:21:51.959
you really feel it. You really feel the release and

1746
05:21:52.040 --> 05:22:00.200
the pleasure of having your lower back massaged. Release. This

1747
05:22:00.240 --> 05:22:08.759
is so much from your body that's not useful starting

1748
05:22:08.840 --> 05:22:14.639
a healing process which will continue long after this recording

1749
05:22:14.759 --> 05:22:26.520
is over. The message in this part of your body

1750
05:22:27.000 --> 05:22:31.919
not only feels really good for you. It's actually fun

1751
05:22:32.000 --> 05:22:37.240
to do because it is, as I said, like kneading bread,

1752
05:22:39.159 --> 05:22:41.680
it's a part that you can really get hold of

1753
05:22:43.200 --> 05:22:56.959
and really massage deeply. If that's your choice, then I'm

1754
05:22:56.959 --> 05:22:58.759
going to move over to the other side of your

1755
05:22:58.840 --> 05:23:08.919
body and same with the opposite part of your lawer back,

1756
05:23:11.520 --> 05:23:20.400
kneeding and messaging from your sides or way to the

1757
05:23:20.439 --> 05:23:28.520
middle of your back where your spine is pressing and

1758
05:23:28.639 --> 05:23:39.639
kneading firm and gentle at the same time. It feels

1759
05:23:39.720 --> 05:23:52.279
so releasing this mixture of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation

1760
05:23:53.639 --> 05:24:03.599
or mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your stomach

1761
05:24:04.040 --> 05:24:09.159
as it's been stretched. Even though you're in your stomach now,

1762
05:24:09.639 --> 05:24:13.439
you can feel it being stretched because that whole area

1763
05:24:13.560 --> 05:24:24.680
is connected to your stomach. Now we're going to move

1764
05:24:24.959 --> 05:24:29.759
or move further up to your top of your body

1765
05:24:30.360 --> 05:24:38.000
and I we do the same this time, starting with

1766
05:24:38.080 --> 05:24:43.520
your upper back. Put my hands forward over and mass

1767
05:24:43.759 --> 05:24:50.840
massage in that area up to your spine, from the

1768
05:24:50.959 --> 05:24:55.119
side of your body up to your spine. So some

1769
05:24:55.279 --> 05:25:01.959
of that message area, the muscle tissue or whatever faty

1770
05:25:02.040 --> 05:25:07.479
tissue even will be possibly from your chest because or

1771
05:25:07.560 --> 05:25:14.479
connected the chest and the back connect together. I'm going

1772
05:25:14.560 --> 05:25:18.159
to be massaging and just pulling some of that skin

1773
05:25:19.439 --> 05:25:28.799
from your side up and massaging that area of your

1774
05:25:28.880 --> 05:25:37.360
upper back all the way to your spine. And then

1775
05:25:37.400 --> 05:25:40.200
I'll move down a bit and I'll continue with the

1776
05:25:40.240 --> 05:25:47.040
middle of your back doing exactly the same thing as

1777
05:25:47.159 --> 05:26:00.959
gentle or as deep as you choose our move or

1778
05:26:01.119 --> 05:26:05.360
the other side again and do the exact same thing

1779
05:26:06.000 --> 05:26:09.159
with the top of your back on the other side,

1780
05:26:10.200 --> 05:26:26.759
from pretty much underneath your arm area really to your spine,

1781
05:26:29.400 --> 05:26:36.279
and then continuing that all the way down, including your

1782
05:26:36.279 --> 05:26:53.639
lower your middle of your back. I'm gonna go to

1783
05:26:53.720 --> 05:27:00.520
your thighs, the backs of your thighs and the of

1784
05:27:00.599 --> 05:27:11.520
your thighs, starting with your right leg. Massage in the

1785
05:27:11.639 --> 05:27:20.639
back and the sides of your thighs gently and firmly.

1786
05:27:22.759 --> 05:27:26.240
There's a lot of muscles there. It's an area that

1787
05:27:26.279 --> 05:27:30.479
can be very tense at times and maybe needs a

1788
05:27:30.560 --> 05:27:33.040
little bit more pressure than the rest of the body

1789
05:27:34.040 --> 05:27:41.799
that's up to you. You can gently stroke the back

1790
05:27:44.560 --> 05:27:48.919
of your legs where you know, opposite your knee joint

1791
05:27:50.200 --> 05:28:03.159
or underneath your knee joint, very sensitive, Gentle area, and

1792
05:28:03.159 --> 05:28:10.560
then working down to your calf muscles. Massage in your

1793
05:28:10.599 --> 05:28:19.959
half muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose, using both

1794
05:28:20.119 --> 05:28:38.799
hands and fingers, digging deep to your ankles, in the

1795
05:28:38.840 --> 05:28:45.720
back of your back of your ankles, just gently massage

1796
05:28:45.759 --> 05:28:57.639
in that area, maybe lifting the leg and stretching out

1797
05:28:57.639 --> 05:29:20.240
a little bit. Moving to the right foot, massage in

1798
05:29:22.799 --> 05:29:29.599
the bottom of your feet and the size of your

1799
05:29:29.599 --> 05:29:46.319
feet gently but firm enough so they don't tickle, and

1800
05:29:46.479 --> 05:29:51.919
just allow the pleasure that you get from having your

1801
05:29:51.959 --> 05:30:01.360
feet massaged to just overtake you as I continue to

1802
05:30:01.479 --> 05:30:07.919
message your feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides,

1803
05:30:10.520 --> 05:30:16.279
your arches, your heel. You can put a lot of

1804
05:30:16.319 --> 05:30:22.240
pressure into your heel and it feels amazing, yet the

1805
05:30:22.400 --> 05:30:30.520
arches need to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your

1806
05:30:30.599 --> 05:30:37.119
toes gently the message in the bottoms of your toes

1807
05:30:37.799 --> 05:30:53.119
with my fingers, each one individually. Moving over to the

1808
05:30:53.240 --> 05:31:00.479
left leg to do exactly the same thing. Start in

1809
05:31:02.520 --> 05:31:07.000
at the top of the thighs, work in the back

1810
05:31:07.080 --> 05:31:12.599
of the thighs and the sides, massaging deeply and gently

1811
05:31:14.680 --> 05:31:28.720
the whole area, working all the way down. And this

1812
05:31:28.919 --> 05:31:34.840
is an area that maybe you could like to spend

1813
05:31:34.919 --> 05:31:43.759
more time relaxing and messaging. So perhaps if you wanted,

1814
05:31:43.880 --> 05:31:48.759
I could big a future recording. Want's spend more time

1815
05:31:48.840 --> 05:32:00.319
on one particular area. As you move down to your

1816
05:32:00.319 --> 05:32:14.240
calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles firmly and gently,

1817
05:32:19.919 --> 05:32:28.759
move down your aincor into your feet. Massage in the

1818
05:32:28.799 --> 05:32:38.880
backs of your feet, the bottoms of your feet, stretching

1819
05:32:39.119 --> 05:32:45.439
your toes, and massage in each tone individually. And the

1820
05:32:45.840 --> 05:32:51.279
feeling of pleasure and release that you experience when you're

1821
05:32:51.360 --> 05:33:13.080
having your feet massaged feels really good. H Now, she

1822
05:33:13.319 --> 05:33:24.680
turn over in your mind. Laying on your back, I'm

1823
05:33:24.759 --> 05:33:38.240
just gonna start again for your neck area, in your shoulders,

1824
05:33:42.200 --> 05:33:52.599
just to get back in touch with that area. And

1825
05:33:52.759 --> 05:34:04.400
as you move up, I can clean my hands, make

1826
05:34:04.439 --> 05:34:10.919
them more fresh, because now I'm gonna message your face gently,

1827
05:34:14.680 --> 05:34:25.840
starting off with your forehead. Your eyes are closed and

1828
05:34:25.840 --> 05:34:31.720
I can just stretch your eyes a little bit, pushing

1829
05:34:31.840 --> 05:34:48.720
up on your eyebrows, just massaging around your scalp, massaging

1830
05:34:48.880 --> 05:34:59.159
down your cheeks, around your ears, into your chaw, gently

1831
05:35:04.119 --> 05:35:21.520
the side of your neck, your chin hmm. Then just

1832
05:35:21.680 --> 05:35:33.119
moving down from your neck down to your chest, starting

1833
05:35:33.319 --> 05:35:40.680
by message in the very top of your chest where

1834
05:35:40.680 --> 05:35:54.279
the collar phone is either side of the collarbone, and

1835
05:35:54.279 --> 05:36:06.959
then just message in the hole of the chest, moving

1836
05:36:07.040 --> 05:36:20.639
the chest around. Because it's quite a large area, you

1837
05:36:20.680 --> 05:36:28.479
can move from one side to the next, moving my

1838
05:36:28.639 --> 05:36:39.439
hands underneath pretty much where your arms are stretching up,

1839
05:36:41.560 --> 05:36:44.639
stretching some of the muscles of your back in the process,

1840
05:36:49.880 --> 05:36:58.560
moving up over your chest and they're moving down again,

1841
05:37:11.159 --> 05:37:15.959
and then allowing my hands to just massage gently and

1842
05:37:16.240 --> 05:37:23.000
slide down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of

1843
05:37:23.080 --> 05:37:32.720
your chest, and then gradually my hands moving apart and

1844
05:37:32.959 --> 05:37:38.599
massage in and slide in at the same time, moving

1845
05:37:38.759 --> 05:37:57.520
down to just below your red cage, moving down, then

1846
05:37:57.599 --> 05:38:06.880
massaging up again, giving your chest all the attention that

1847
05:38:07.000 --> 05:38:21.479
it needs to feel completely relaxed, remembering them. I'm also

1848
05:38:21.599 --> 05:38:26.880
going to be focusing on your sides as well, an

1849
05:38:26.959 --> 05:38:33.279
area that really doesn't get much attention but feels really

1850
05:38:33.360 --> 05:38:43.720
good when it's massaged. Just stroking my hands down the

1851
05:38:43.759 --> 05:38:50.720
sides of your body, just below your arms, all the

1852
05:38:50.759 --> 05:39:04.200
way down to your hips. Now move into your stomach area.

1853
05:39:06.240 --> 05:39:09.639
We're going to stand one side of you like I

1854
05:39:09.680 --> 05:39:14.240
did when I did your lower back. We're gonna do

1855
05:39:14.279 --> 05:39:23.560
a similar process of just stretching the muscles from your side,

1856
05:39:23.799 --> 05:39:41.000
gently massaging from one side to the next, move in.

1857
05:39:38.439 --> 05:39:42.680
The whole area from below your ribs all the way

1858
05:39:42.720 --> 05:39:53.599
down to below your belly button, and then move around

1859
05:39:53.680 --> 05:39:54.759
to the other side.

1860
05:39:54.520 --> 05:40:10.040
Of you and repeat that process of relaxing deeply, calmly.

1861
05:40:13.159 --> 05:40:20.360
You feel loose, You feel free. And it's something about

1862
05:40:20.439 --> 05:40:25.319
having your stomach message that's different from any other part

1863
05:40:28.799 --> 05:40:33.360
because we do have a tendency of holding a different

1864
05:40:33.439 --> 05:40:37.520
kind of stress in our stomach that we may not

1865
05:40:37.599 --> 05:40:48.599
be aware of. As I now message your stomach in

1866
05:40:48.720 --> 05:40:56.200
front of your stomach, making circles around your belly button,

1867
05:41:01.959 --> 05:41:11.639
and then going the other way around, there's a gentleness

1868
05:41:11.680 --> 05:41:17.680
and a freedom that comes from feeling how you're feeling.

1869
05:41:23.200 --> 05:41:28.000
As I now move down the tops of your thighs

1870
05:41:29.639 --> 05:41:35.479
the muscles massaging them, and I can do this two

1871
05:41:35.599 --> 05:41:45.919
legs at the same time, pressing down massaging deeply those

1872
05:41:46.040 --> 05:41:55.159
muscles in your thighs at front of your thighs, and

1873
05:41:55.279 --> 05:42:06.479
moving down to your knees, gently massaging your knees, sliding

1874
05:42:06.639 --> 05:42:12.159
down your shins, putting pressure on either side of your

1875
05:42:12.200 --> 05:42:25.080
shin gently, softly but firmly, moving down to your ankles,

1876
05:42:29.959 --> 05:42:39.680
stroking the tops of your feet, and then with each

1877
05:42:40.959 --> 05:42:46.439
foot in each hand, just gently messaging the whole of

1878
05:42:46.479 --> 05:42:55.279
the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel, your ankle,

1879
05:42:56.119 --> 05:43:07.159
your toes, massage in every part of your feet. It

1880
05:43:07.360 --> 05:43:13.439
feels so good just to let go and enjoy the process.

1881
05:43:19.080 --> 05:43:37.959
Enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed, so much comfort, and so

1882
05:43:38.119 --> 05:43:54.680
many feelings that come just from touching your skin. And

1883
05:43:54.840 --> 05:44:00.560
you can just lie there. There's a lot long as

1884
05:44:00.599 --> 05:44:13.200
you choose enjoying the feeling of deep comfort from being

1885
05:44:13.319 --> 05:44:45.080
massaged by me. Enjoy feeling deeply raxed. And all we're

1886
05:44:45.119 --> 05:44:54.319
gonna do is blow out some candles. In your mind,

1887
05:45:05.880 --> 05:45:16.159
there are going to be one hundred candles, and you're

1888
05:45:16.159 --> 05:45:24.319
going to blow each one out individually, one by one,

1889
05:45:25.119 --> 05:45:34.799
starting at one hundred. As I count down all the

1890
05:45:34.880 --> 05:45:42.680
way down to one, and each time I say a number,

1891
05:45:48.159 --> 05:45:55.040
you can imagine that candle in front of you, and

1892
05:45:55.040 --> 05:46:04.000
I'd like you to actually physically, h gently blow that

1893
05:46:04.200 --> 05:46:18.880
candle out, just so it's not big blows, just a gentle,

1894
05:46:23.279 --> 05:46:32.840
and that candle will extinguish. And then I'll say the

1895
05:46:32.840 --> 05:46:40.040
next number as we move down, and you can just

1896
05:46:41.599 --> 05:46:52.400
h blow that one out as well. And as we

1897
05:46:52.520 --> 05:47:02.639
move down the numbers, you'll find just of feeling more

1898
05:47:02.799 --> 05:47:11.159
and more relaxed, and if you need to sleep, you'll

1899
05:47:11.159 --> 05:47:23.119
also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact,

1900
05:47:23.200 --> 05:47:33.279
you may struggle to blow out all one hundred of

1901
05:47:33.400 --> 05:47:51.880
these candles as you feel more and more deeply relaxed,

1902
05:47:58.479 --> 05:48:16.880
more and more deep tired, And the further you go down,

1903
05:48:19.119 --> 05:48:32.799
the more your mind starts to drift. You may find

1904
05:48:33.159 --> 05:48:47.599
that you stop listening to me after a while. And

1905
05:48:47.759 --> 05:48:52.080
even though there may be background sounds where you are,

1906
05:48:56.799 --> 05:49:08.000
you'll be aware of those sounds at the moment be

1907
05:49:08.360 --> 05:49:23.840
me start to just not even notice them at all,

1908
05:49:26.360 --> 05:49:40.400
because they're unimportant. Where I am, I've got the sounds

1909
05:49:40.400 --> 05:49:47.279
of the birds, there's horrors, the pigeon who likes to

1910
05:49:47.319 --> 05:49:53.880
say hello sometimes, and there's the odd plane that goes by,

1911
05:49:56.919 --> 05:50:10.279
maybe traffic, you can trains in the distance, But none

1912
05:50:10.279 --> 05:50:22.639
of that seems important whatsoever. More candles you blow out,

1913
05:50:24.639 --> 05:50:37.240
less important anything is. From more candles you blow out,

1914
05:50:41.400 --> 05:50:47.119
the further you seem to move away.

1915
05:50:52.680 --> 05:51:06.479
From sounds and from general date Day's stuff, seems to just.

1916
05:51:08.439 --> 05:51:27.000
Move away on its own. You feel more calmer with

1917
05:51:27.240 --> 05:51:45.040
every candle you blow out, guiding you the next number,

1918
05:51:47.799 --> 05:51:57.479
do you hear me say? And then you blow that

1919
05:51:57.680 --> 05:52:25.119
candle out to So easy, so simple. We're gonna start

1920
05:52:25.639 --> 05:52:43.560
by introducing the first candle, which is a hundred. First

1921
05:52:44.000 --> 05:53:05.040
candles one hundred. When you blow that candle out, you'll

1922
05:53:05.119 --> 05:53:22.680
find immediately a slight change in how you feel, as

1923
05:53:22.799 --> 05:53:30.799
well as a real sense of positivity growing within you,

1924
05:53:36.840 --> 05:53:56.159
relaxation and sleepiness expanding. Starting with.

1925
05:54:02.520 --> 05:54:47.919
One hundred, my candle now ninety nine, candle ninety eight,

1926

1956
06:51:42.159 --> 06:51:48.240
concerns about the past, thoughts about the future, and even

1957
06:51:49.720 --> 06:51:54.080
things you've been thinking about today. Just let it all

1958
06:51:54.159 --> 06:52:00.400
go because none of it is useful in this moment.

1959
06:52:05.279 --> 06:52:20.680
This is your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed,

1960
06:52:24.959 --> 06:52:31.400
allowing yourself to get in touch with that natural sense

1961
06:52:33.479 --> 06:52:41.599
of peace that we all have within us. It's available

1962
06:52:41.680 --> 06:52:46.520
for everyone, it just sometimes takes a little bit of

1963
06:52:46.639 --> 06:52:54.080
effort to set up the right time and place in

1964
06:52:54.319 --> 06:53:00.560
order for you to just let go. Is when you

1965
06:53:00.759 --> 06:53:08.560
do decide to let go and relax, that's what your

1966
06:53:08.560 --> 06:53:17.279
body starts to do because you've chosen, You've chosen to

1967
06:53:17.720 --> 06:53:24.840
just allow your body to unwind and your mind starts

1968
06:53:24.919 --> 06:53:32.400
to slow down. And it's a nice feeling. It's a

1969
06:53:32.520 --> 06:53:36.720
nice feeling at the beginning, just to know that you

1970
06:53:37.240 --> 06:53:47.479
have chosen to decide to relax deeply, and because you've

1971
06:53:47.599 --> 06:53:56.080
made that decision, your body will just follow suit. Because

1972
06:53:56.159 --> 06:54:00.799
sometimes all the muscles in your body need is just

1973
06:54:01.159 --> 06:54:10.360
permission from you to relax. Because so often we're busy,

1974
06:54:10.639 --> 06:54:14.840
we're going from here to there, we're walking around and

1975
06:54:14.959 --> 06:54:22.279
we're doing stuff and the body doesn't have any time

1976
06:54:22.520 --> 06:54:30.919
or space to really relax deeply, so it kind of

1977
06:54:31.040 --> 06:54:36.599
waits for you to lead the way, waits for your permission.

1978
06:54:40.919 --> 06:54:47.439
And when you do give your permission, when you give

1979
06:54:47.479 --> 06:54:53.799
the say so, when you say okay, it's time for

1980
06:54:53.880 --> 06:55:03.560
your body to let go completely and relax totally, your

1981
06:55:03.599 --> 06:55:13.080
body just follows. It's like a breath of relief. Ah. Good,

1982
06:55:13.159 --> 06:55:20.080
I can now relax. That feeling at the end of

1983
06:55:20.159 --> 06:55:23.400
a day, of a very physical day that you may

1984
06:55:23.479 --> 06:55:27.319
experience in the past, where you get home and you

1985
06:55:27.520 --> 06:55:31.240
just sit down on a chair, maybe you kick your

1986
06:55:31.360 --> 06:55:37.599
shoes off, and ah, feels so nice knowing that you

1987
06:55:37.720 --> 06:55:41.840
don't have to get up again for a little while

1988
06:55:41.880 --> 06:55:45.599
at least if you choose, you can just sit there

1989
06:55:45.720 --> 06:55:58.279
for maybe an hour to It feels blissful. And just

1990
06:55:58.479 --> 06:56:03.520
by sitting down like that, your body knows that it's

1991
06:56:03.639 --> 06:56:09.319
time to relax. Your body has been given permission from you.

1992
06:56:11.560 --> 06:56:21.840
Because it's a mindset. In your mind, you're prepared to

1993
06:56:22.040 --> 06:56:31.639
let go of everything and just completely allow all the

1994
06:56:31.919 --> 06:56:40.680
stress of your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just

1995
06:56:41.080 --> 06:57:00.479
gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really, because that's sense

1996
06:57:00.720 --> 06:57:06.959
of relaxation in your body. It's a very natural state.

1997
06:57:08.840 --> 06:57:13.439
It's not something unusual. It may feel unusual when you

1998
06:57:13.599 --> 06:57:16.880
first start to relax, if you if you haven't really

1999
06:57:18.319 --> 06:57:22.200
spent a lot of time focusing and giving yourself this

2000
06:57:22.400 --> 06:57:27.439
space to let go completely and relax, they seem are

2001
06:57:27.599 --> 06:57:35.880
most alien, but it isn't. It's actually the most natural

2002
06:57:36.000 --> 06:57:44.560
thing in the world to let go completely, to relax totally,

2003
06:57:46.560 --> 06:57:53.279
the most natural thing in the world to allow yourself

2004
06:57:57.680 --> 06:58:04.840
to feel really really calm in your mind. And it

2005
06:58:05.000 --> 06:58:12.919
is almost like a literal unwinding. It's like you press

2006
06:58:12.959 --> 06:58:21.680
a button and all the tension just releases, and it's

2007
06:58:21.840 --> 06:58:25.439
like a wheel, like a cog, like the inside of

2008
06:58:25.479 --> 06:58:29.360
a clock, just unwinding. And it's almost like you could

2009
06:58:29.520 --> 06:58:35.479
see the little wind up knob that's used just going

2010
06:58:35.599 --> 06:58:39.360
the opposite way that you choose to wind it up,

2011
06:58:42.159 --> 06:58:51.479
and the energy that fremetic stress for energy gradually winding down,

2012
06:58:52.759 --> 06:59:00.159
losing its power, losing its strength as a sense of

2013
06:59:00.279 --> 06:59:12.080
relaxation becomes stronger and deeper, and you may find a

2014
06:59:12.200 --> 06:59:18.919
the more relaxed you feel, that your mind starts to

2015
06:59:19.119 --> 06:59:27.919
wonder maybe just seemed to stop listening to me for

2016
06:59:28.040 --> 06:59:33.759
a while, and your mind goes somewhere else and then

2017
06:59:33.840 --> 06:59:39.680
you realize you're listening to me again, and that was

2018
06:59:39.880 --> 06:59:48.439
just your mind drifting to sleep, which is quite natural,

2019
06:59:50.000 --> 06:59:57.919
because sometimes when we're stressed and tense, we're not mean

2020
06:59:58.000 --> 07:00:02.439
I actually be aware of what we need, what we

2021
07:00:02.599 --> 07:00:11.279
physically or emotionally need in this moment. But when you

2022
07:00:12.000 --> 07:00:19.119
allow your body and mind to relax completely and you

2023
07:00:19.319 --> 07:00:28.439
let go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas, all letting

2024
07:00:28.520 --> 07:00:37.479
them go, allow them to drop onto the floor, when

2025
07:00:37.599 --> 07:00:43.560
you start to get in touch with the feelings of

2026
07:00:45.439 --> 07:00:55.799
such relaxation, this feels so nice, to be in touch

2027
07:00:56.240 --> 07:01:05.639
with the calmness, the different body parts as they become

2028
07:01:06.000 --> 07:01:22.000
looser and looser. Even your breathing seems easier and more natural, effortless,

2029
07:01:25.240 --> 07:01:29.200
as that cool air enters through your mouth or nose

2030
07:01:30.439 --> 07:01:41.439
into your lungs, breathing in comforts and relaxation, and then

2031
07:01:41.599 --> 07:01:49.759
just breathing out any excess remain intension or stress from

2032
07:01:49.880 --> 07:01:52.360
every part of your body.

2033
07:01:53.599 --> 07:01:54.080
And might.

2034
07:01:57.759 --> 07:02:00.119
And as you start to focus on your mind, and

2035
07:02:01.959 --> 07:02:10.360
maybe you noticed that things come to a standstill or

2036
07:02:10.520 --> 07:02:19.599
maybe just much much lower than before, because your mind

2037
07:02:19.840 --> 07:02:30.319
is not really needed when listening to my voice, which

2038
07:02:30.439 --> 07:02:36.880
allows your mind to relax just as deeply as your body.

2039
07:02:39.639 --> 07:02:47.919
And that's synchronicity between the relaxation of your body and

2040
07:02:50.680 --> 07:03:04.439
relaxation of your mind. Let you know that feeling completely calm, loose,

2041
07:03:04.799 --> 07:03:19.000
and relaxed real is a great healing experience fear and

2042
07:03:19.279 --> 07:03:31.759
has so many positive benefits for your body, mind, and

2043
07:03:31.880 --> 07:03:40.560
your life. To be able to let go everything and

2044
07:03:40.799 --> 07:03:51.159
to relax completely in all parts of your body and mind.

2045
07:03:53.560 --> 07:04:02.159
Even your bones has araxed, all your mind, souls are relaxed,

2046
07:04:08.880 --> 07:04:22.360
Even the skin that covers your body is relaxed. Every

2047
07:04:22.959 --> 07:04:40.000
hair that you have is also deeply relaxed. And your

2048
07:04:40.200 --> 07:04:53.639
brain really starts to feel the benefits of this healing relaxation.

2049
07:04:58.959 --> 07:05:04.919
And as you focus on the inside of your scalp

2050
07:05:05.400 --> 07:05:11.159
where your brain is, you can start to realize and

2051
07:05:11.479 --> 07:05:24.520
notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply. Then it's

2052
07:05:24.599 --> 07:05:35.799
your brain continues to relax, it sends those messages to

2053
07:05:36.599 --> 07:05:43.880
the rest of your body and your mind to re

2054
07:05:44.959 --> 07:06:06.560
relax even more deeply, relax in more completely, letting go

2055
07:06:06.799 --> 07:06:18.520
of any remaining force or concerns, allow them just to

2056
07:06:18.840 --> 07:06:26.319
drop onto the floor because they're no longer necessary in

2057
07:06:27.040 --> 07:06:38.159
this moment, In this moment of deep relaxation and calmness,

2058
07:06:40.479 --> 07:07:07.119
filling your brain with deep, concentrated healing, calming, relaxing every

2059
07:07:07.799 --> 07:07:24.919
part of your brain, feeling so loose and comfortable, so

2060
07:07:26.200 --> 07:07:40.360
relaxed and be peaceful. Your brain feels so light and

2061
07:07:40.759 --> 07:07:51.840
so healthy in that sense of deep deep comfort really

2062
07:07:52.759 --> 07:08:05.880
does allow you to enjoy those ever increasing sensations of

2063
07:08:07.840 --> 07:08:21.919
comfort that are spreading throughout your body, relaxing each and

2064
07:08:22.560 --> 07:08:25.040
every muscle of your body.

2065
07:08:27.119 --> 07:08:27.200
E.

2066
07:08:29.279 --> 07:08:48.479
Deeper and deeper, much more deeper than before, much more

2067
07:08:50.520 --> 07:08:59.360
comfort spreading through your body and your mind.

2068
07:09:02.360 --> 07:09:04.240
Be so.

2069
07:09:06.119 --> 07:09:22.200
Peaceful and calm, so very very peaceful in every part

2070
07:09:24.840 --> 07:09:42.119
of your body, letting go a everything averything, so peaceful

and comfort spreading through your body and mind, deeper and deeper,

07:11:35.159 --> 07:11:51.880
your body, so that you feel amazing, so relaxed, so

2079
07:11:52.520 --> 07:12:18.119
peace so so relaxed and peaceful, letting go. I'm going

2080
07:12:18.159 --> 07:12:24.520
to do a body scan, focusing on firstly how you

2081
07:12:24.720 --> 07:12:30.319
feel in your body, not trying to change how you feel,

2082
07:12:31.479 --> 07:12:36.439
not trying to relax, not trying to move away from

2083
07:12:36.520 --> 07:12:45.080
any discomfort or stress or tension. Just accepting, observing and

2084
07:12:45.279 --> 07:12:49.919
accepting how you feel in the different parts of your body,

2085
07:12:51.880 --> 07:13:00.919
Just allowing yourself to be exactly as you are, to notice,

2086
07:13:01.720 --> 07:13:09.840
to get in touch with how you actually feel in

2087
07:13:10.000 --> 07:13:19.919
this moment. I'm going to start off by focusing on

2088
07:13:20.080 --> 07:13:32.599
your hands. Just be aware of your hands. I'd like

2089
07:13:32.720 --> 07:13:37.119
you to move your hands around, just maybe move your

2090
07:13:37.360 --> 07:13:44.599
fingers a little bit. I've been enclosing your hands very gently,

2091
07:13:46.240 --> 07:13:51.880
just so that you can get in touch with how

2092
07:13:52.040 --> 07:14:06.240
your hands and your fingers feel, very very slow movements.

2093
07:14:14.639 --> 07:14:22.400
Focusing now on your feet, and if you can just

2094
07:14:22.560 --> 07:14:27.680
do kind of an equivalent with your feet is you've

2095
07:14:27.880 --> 07:14:34.080
just done with your hands, Maybe turn in your ankles,

2096
07:14:36.040 --> 07:14:44.400
moving your feet around, moving your toes gently, but only

2097
07:14:45.599 --> 07:14:57.439
very gently and very slowly, noticing how your feet fell

2098
07:14:59.479 --> 07:15:09.400
in this moment. Focusing now and your eyes.

2099
07:15:12.400 --> 07:15:13.599
I'd like you to just.

2100
07:15:15.200 --> 07:15:21.000
Focus on your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close

2101
07:15:21.080 --> 07:15:25.279
your eyes a couple of times to really get in

2102
07:15:25.520 --> 07:15:29.560
touch with how you feel when you do close your eyes.

2103
07:15:31.720 --> 07:15:38.159
The muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them,

2104
07:15:41.000 --> 07:15:47.360
maybe raising your eyebrows. It stretches the tops of your eyes,

2105
07:15:50.599 --> 07:15:59.000
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes, just so

2106
07:15:59.159 --> 07:16:08.959
you can here again touch with all aspects of how

2107
07:16:10.759 --> 07:16:27.799
your eyes feel. Right now, now focusing on your thighs,

2108
07:16:30.159 --> 07:16:34.400
and it just starts you to gently tense your thighs,

2109
07:16:35.799 --> 07:16:45.639
just very very gently, just enough so you can become

2110
07:16:47.240 --> 07:16:58.279
more atchuned to the physical sensation of your upper legs,

2111
07:17:00.520 --> 07:17:03.319
the front of your thighs, and the backs of your

2112
07:17:03.400 --> 07:17:19.119
thigh noticing and observing how your thighs fear. Right now,

2113
07:17:27.200 --> 07:17:35.360
moving your focus to the back of your neck, just

2114
07:17:35.720 --> 07:17:42.119
noticing the back of your neck the muscles, and of

2115
07:17:42.240 --> 07:17:46.599
course they lead to the side of your neck. They

2116
07:17:46.680 --> 07:17:52.040
also lead to the top of your back, which leads

2117
07:17:52.080 --> 07:17:57.599
to your shoulders. So as your focus on the back

2118
07:17:57.680 --> 07:18:04.319
of your neck, maybe you can move your head gently

2119
07:18:04.720 --> 07:18:11.919
upwards as if you're looking up, Maybe moving your head

2120
07:18:12.080 --> 07:18:19.479
down as if you were looking down. Perhaps moving your

2121
07:18:19.560 --> 07:18:29.520
head side to side, right to left only very slowly,

2122
07:18:32.000 --> 07:18:40.240
very gently. I'm not trying to force anything. It has

2123
07:18:40.400 --> 07:18:51.119
to be very very gentle, just so you can be

2124
07:18:52.240 --> 07:19:02.919
more in touch with the feelings, with the sensations, the

2125
07:19:03.240 --> 07:19:12.080
physical sensations of how the back of your neck feels.

2126
07:19:13.840 --> 07:19:29.240
Right now, as we now focus on the tops of

2127
07:19:29.360 --> 07:19:35.599
your arms, the parts where your biceps and your triceps

2128
07:19:35.680 --> 07:19:43.759
are between your elbow and your shoulders. Should focus on

2129
07:19:44.000 --> 07:19:51.200
those parts the tops of your arms. You may like

2130
07:19:51.319 --> 07:20:03.439
to just tense them, but very very gently, slowly, so

2131
07:20:03.560 --> 07:20:13.200
you're not straining or putting any pressure whatsoever on your arms.

2132
07:20:15.919 --> 07:20:18.319
It's just so that you can.

2133
07:20:20.840 --> 07:20:28.000
Gain more of a sense of how your upper arms

2134
07:20:29.599 --> 07:20:41.479
are feeling in this moment, and just noticing as you gently,

2135
07:20:43.639 --> 07:20:53.240
very gently and slowly tighten the muscles and then let go.

2136
07:20:57.520 --> 07:21:05.919
Notice how the tops of your arms feel right now,

2137
07:21:14.119 --> 07:21:17.040
as now focus.

2138
07:21:19.799 --> 07:21:27.360
On your stomach, the area the lower abdomen area below

2139
07:21:27.400 --> 07:21:36.200
your bellygotton moving all the way down to your hips,

2140
07:21:37.319 --> 07:21:48.560
just above your grind. Maybe you're able to tense these

2141
07:21:48.759 --> 07:22:06.360
muscles in the area very very gently and slowly, if

2142
07:22:06.520 --> 07:22:10.599
that's a difficult thing to do, and maybe you can

2143
07:22:10.799 --> 07:22:21.479
just move your body pushing your stomach up, maybe moving

2144
07:22:21.520 --> 07:22:26.720
a little bit to the side using your hips, just

2145
07:22:27.279 --> 07:22:35.279
so you can get more in tune with how your

2146
07:22:36.200 --> 07:22:55.080
lower aptomen area is feeling in this moment. Just noticing

2147
07:22:56.599 --> 07:23:16.680
the physical sense sations or your lower abdomen as you

2148
07:23:16.959 --> 07:23:32.240
move your attention to your mouth, noticing your lips and

2149
07:23:32.439 --> 07:23:50.279
inside your mouth, your teeth, your guns, your tongue, just

2150
07:23:50.599 --> 07:23:59.200
noticing how your tongue in your mouth feels. It may

2151
07:23:59.439 --> 07:24:08.159
help by moving your tongue around your mouth, moving it

2152
07:24:08.720 --> 07:24:16.119
to your left, maybe pressing it gently against the side

2153
07:24:16.279 --> 07:24:22.520
of your mouth, and then to the right, gently to

2154
07:24:22.680 --> 07:24:29.319
the side of your mouth, perhaps pressing up against the

2155
07:24:30.639 --> 07:24:37.439
top of your mouth, and then down gently against the

2156
07:24:37.520 --> 07:24:48.680
bottom of your mouth, always very slowly, in a very

2157
07:24:51.319 --> 07:25:08.599
very gentle so that you can beware of how you

2158
07:25:09.040 --> 07:25:31.200
feel in your mouth area. Now I'm going to focus

2159
07:25:33.479 --> 07:25:48.200
on your wrists, and I'll ask you to maybe just

2160
07:25:49.400 --> 07:25:57.880
routine your wrists by moving your hands in a circular

2161
07:25:58.240 --> 07:26:17.119
motion gently and slowly, just so that you can feel

2162
07:26:23.119 --> 07:26:35.840
the sensations that you are currently experiencing in your risks.

2163
07:26:39.919 --> 07:26:42.919
Perhaps move in your hands.

2164
07:26:44.159 --> 07:26:45.599
Up and down.

2165
07:26:48.000 --> 07:27:15.319
Again very very gently and slowly, very gentzo and slow.

2166
07:27:28.799 --> 07:27:45.200
As we now start to observe your lower back. The

2167
07:27:45.560 --> 07:27:55.439
bad part is just above of your hips, where your

2168
07:27:55.599 --> 07:28:08.599
coxsis are a whole area which also really does include

2169
07:28:09.400 --> 07:28:15.639
the side of your body because those muscles are very

2170
07:28:15.759 --> 07:28:27.439
much connected as those muscles also move into your hip area,

2171
07:28:28.439 --> 07:28:43.799
connecting to your buttocks the sides of your hips, and

2172
07:28:43.959 --> 07:28:52.439
if you're physically able to do so, maybe you can

2173
07:28:53.360 --> 07:29:06.040
very gently just move your body evice slightly, very slowly

2174
07:29:09.119 --> 07:29:27.080
from side to side, just enough to gauge how you

2175
07:29:27.400 --> 07:29:44.400
feel in your lower back. Perhaps you could even move

2176
07:29:44.639 --> 07:29:59.319
your hips gently up and down gently slowly in order

2177
07:29:59.520 --> 07:30:13.279
to be in touch with the physical sensations of your

2178
07:30:13.439 --> 07:30:43.000
lower back. As we know live your attention to your jaw,

2179
07:30:46.279 --> 07:30:51.919
the area from your chin all the way up to

2180
07:30:52.159 --> 07:30:58.439
near where your ears are, the hole of your jaw,

2181
07:31:08.720 --> 07:31:15.560
you can just yeah, it's okay to do so. Gently

2182
07:31:17.040 --> 07:31:26.880
open your mouth, not wide, no stretching, just very gently

2183
07:31:27.279 --> 07:31:41.439
and slowly opening your mouth thing closing your mouth very

2184
07:31:41.759 --> 07:31:56.360
gently and slowly, so you can.

2185
07:31:59.279 --> 07:32:00.479
Be entire much.

2186
07:32:07.000 --> 07:32:40.799
With how your jaw feels. Now know to sit now

2187
07:32:43.680 --> 07:32:56.560
the chest area, and you don't need to do anything

2188
07:32:58.479 --> 07:33:05.360
to move your chest because it moves every time you breathe,

2189
07:33:10.479 --> 07:33:24.560
and it moves very gently and slowly automatically relieve breath

2190
07:33:24.959 --> 07:33:44.919
you take as you focus on how your chest feels

2191
07:33:50.200 --> 07:34:25.200
when you breathe. Move in your focus to your forearms,

2192
07:34:27.759 --> 07:34:43.919
your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently and slowly

2193
07:34:46.319 --> 07:34:54.880
tense the muscles in your forearms, and when you do that,

2194
07:34:55.360 --> 07:35:28.520
you can feel your always as well, very gently and slowly, gently.

2195
07:35:31.439 --> 07:35:32.720
And softly.

2196
07:35:36.880 --> 07:35:48.639
I'm sad your forearms and delpos.

2197
07:35:58.599 --> 07:35:58.840
Yeah.

2198
07:36:00.200 --> 07:36:00.319
Hm.

2199
07:36:07.639 --> 07:36:21.759
Focus of the rest of your back, your upper back

2200
07:36:26.240 --> 07:36:43.680
and the middle the middle of your back again, this

2201
07:36:44.360 --> 07:36:54.400
part of your body. News. Also, every time you pray,

2202
07:36:59.400 --> 07:37:10.279
you mean, will you notice that usually makes you observe

2203
07:37:12.880 --> 07:37:19.880
your upper back in the middle of your back. You

2204
07:37:20.240 --> 07:38:16.880
can really feel that gentle and moment moving your focus

2205
07:38:18.880 --> 07:38:31.759
into your hip area, the butte as your grain. There's

2206
07:38:32.000 --> 07:39:09.000
muscles and those bones in your midsection. Just noticing how

2207
07:39:09.560 --> 07:39:30.279
your hips feel. Right now, you can very very gently

2208
07:39:33.000 --> 07:39:44.799
move your hips maybe side to side, very gently and

2209
07:39:47.880 --> 07:40:48.400
sl ya softly, and everything starts to slow down, including

2210
07:40:48.599 --> 07:40:56.799
the thoughts in your mind, and your mind itself just

2211
07:40:57.400 --> 07:41:03.520
starts to gratulate. It doesn't have to be instant, but

2212
07:41:03.720 --> 07:41:13.880
just gradually starting too. It's almost like time is streng chin.

2213
07:41:17.799 --> 07:41:23.759
It's a slower pace to maybe what you're used to

2214
07:41:26.080 --> 07:41:34.040
in your day to day life. It's a slower movement

2215
07:41:37.159 --> 07:41:59.759
of energy, very small movements which make up the larger movements,

2216
07:42:01.360 --> 07:42:07.799
which is always the case. Now, when you move your hand,

2217
07:42:09.400 --> 07:42:12.200
it might seem like it's one movement, but it's lots

2218
07:42:12.279 --> 07:42:20.159
of minute different muscles moving in accordance with each other.

2219
07:42:25.520 --> 07:42:37.840
What happens in this space that we're sharing is we

2220
07:42:38.080 --> 07:42:59.000
move from that big movement into those smaller movements. Starting

2221
07:42:59.119 --> 07:43:09.959
to focus on how your body feels, not just as

2222
07:43:10.000 --> 07:43:14.279
a whole, not just oh, i'm feel in this way.

2223
07:43:14.360 --> 07:43:20.479
I'm feeling stressed or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm.

2224
07:43:21.799 --> 07:43:28.400
I'm feeling this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to

2225
07:43:28.639 --> 07:43:39.840
notice that your body begins to present to you small

2226
07:43:40.959 --> 07:43:57.319
feelings around your body, small physical sensations in your legs,

2227
07:44:00.119 --> 07:44:13.279
whether pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting the temptation to label

2228
07:44:13.400 --> 07:44:22.919
them or to judge them those feelings, just thinking them,

2229
07:44:23.840 --> 07:44:36.799
thinking about them is just being neutral, just feelings, not

2230
07:44:37.040 --> 07:44:48.119
being particularly concerned, but just noticing what your body is

2231
07:44:48.240 --> 07:45:01.959
telling you, the feelings in your arms, instead of feeling

2232
07:45:02.080 --> 07:45:10.759
the whole of the arm. Maybe notice those individual feelings

2233
07:45:12.240 --> 07:45:22.959
for all those different muscles and the skin, the hairs

2234
07:45:23.680 --> 07:45:28.720
of your arms, all the internal parts of your arms,

2235
07:45:28.880 --> 07:45:48.119
the veins, the bones, just being aware of maybe your

2236
07:45:48.240 --> 07:45:56.400
elbow on your right arm has a certain feeling. Maybe

2237
07:45:56.680 --> 07:46:09.799
your left wrist also has its own individual physical sensation.

2238
07:46:22.240 --> 07:46:28.959
What about your forearm on your right arm, your right forearm,

2239
07:46:36.319 --> 07:46:42.400
there may not be any particular feeling that you could

2240
07:46:42.439 --> 07:46:50.319
even give a name to, may not feel like anything

2241
07:46:51.319 --> 07:47:01.560
other than just a feeling. You know, it's there. The

2242
07:47:01.639 --> 07:47:07.520
feelings in your shoulders, perhaps your shoulders when you think

2243
07:47:07.599 --> 07:47:12.400
about them, kind of almost like they're the same, you know,

2244
07:47:13.639 --> 07:47:18.560
the same feeling, almost like you both of your shoulders

2245
07:47:18.599 --> 07:47:31.520
are just one thing. Of course they're not. And when

2246
07:47:31.560 --> 07:47:36.880
you focus on your left shoulder and then on your

2247
07:47:37.040 --> 07:47:43.880
right shoulder, maybe find that you move the muscles a

2248
07:47:43.959 --> 07:47:56.119
little bit, maybe tense the muscles gently, noticing the difference

2249
07:47:59.279 --> 07:48:27.040
in each shoulder. Your lower back, the left side of

2250
07:48:27.159 --> 07:48:30.880
your lower back and the right side of your lower

2251
07:48:30.959 --> 07:48:43.040
back of course that connection to your buttocks and to

2252
07:48:43.200 --> 07:48:55.000
your hips, and also moving up into the middle of

2253
07:48:55.080 --> 07:49:08.959
your back. And sometimes like right now, actually when I

2254
07:49:09.040 --> 07:49:13.159
focus on their part. When I focused on my buttocks,

2255
07:49:15.040 --> 07:49:18.759
and then I focused on the middle of my back,

2256
07:49:19.159 --> 07:49:21.919
it almost felt like the muscles in my lower back

2257
07:49:22.000 --> 07:49:31.840
were being stretched very gently, just stretched a little bit.

2258
07:49:33.759 --> 07:49:40.520
Even though I wasn't doing anything to try to stretch

2259
07:49:42.560 --> 07:49:46.880
your lower back, it just seemed to happen. The feeling

2260
07:49:47.560 --> 07:50:07.560
of very gently stretching your lower back comes along. I

2261
07:50:07.639 --> 07:50:32.439
have feeling in your chest, just noticing what sensations you

2262
07:50:33.200 --> 07:50:50.159
are experiencing in your chest right now. And there's so

2263
07:50:50.400 --> 07:50:54.840
much of the chest. Obviously, there's the collar bone leading

2264
07:50:55.040 --> 07:51:01.400
to the chest. You've got the chest bone, You've got

2265
07:51:01.479 --> 07:51:09.599
the muscles in your chest. Of course, if you're female,

2266
07:51:10.279 --> 07:51:20.680
there's possibly the breasts your male you've got the different

2267
07:51:21.799 --> 07:51:23.560
well might not that different these days, but.

2268
07:51:25.720 --> 07:51:26.880
There may be more.

2269
07:51:28.599 --> 07:51:34.919
Muscles at the top of the chest, but at the

2270
07:51:35.080 --> 07:51:39.959
side underneath, it's pretty much the same. Whether you're a

2271
07:51:40.040 --> 07:51:45.080
man or a woman. There's muscles there, muscles that stretch

2272
07:51:45.200 --> 07:51:50.159
out to your back as well as breast tissue which

2273
07:51:50.240 --> 07:51:58.520
stretches and moves into your back. To just being aware

2274
07:51:58.560 --> 07:52:19.119
of your chest, being with whatever feeling there is in

2275
07:52:19.279 --> 07:52:37.799
your chest. And when I noticed that, I focus on

2276
07:52:37.959 --> 07:52:45.599
my chest. I feel it in my back and my

2277
07:52:45.799 --> 07:52:49.919
upper back. I mean, I guess the obvious reason would

2278
07:52:49.919 --> 07:52:59.919
be because you know, I'll breathe in in, and it's

2279
07:53:00.080 --> 07:53:03.439
stretches my chest and my back at the same time.

2280
07:53:11.360 --> 07:53:26.599
It feels it feels okay, it doesn't feel I got

2281
07:53:26.639 --> 07:53:32.880
a little bit of pain in my right chest, A

2282
07:53:32.919 --> 07:53:39.040
little bit, not pain, but little discomfort. Maybe stiffness possibly,

2283
07:53:39.599 --> 07:53:48.720
I don't know. I notice my shoulders also wanting to

2284
07:53:51.080 --> 07:53:55.759
flex for some reason. I think that's probably part of

2285
07:53:55.919 --> 07:54:04.880
my upper back. That connection between my shoulders mapa back.

2286
07:54:06.720 --> 07:54:10.759
Because I can move my shoulders and stretch the muscles

2287
07:54:11.520 --> 07:54:19.720
in my back, moving the shoulders backwards or up, which

2288
07:54:19.840 --> 07:54:23.360
then moves I think it's the scapulous.

2289
07:54:25.240 --> 07:54:25.840
In your back.

2290
07:54:35.919 --> 07:54:43.560
It feels quite nice. Actually, a good thing about this

2291
07:54:43.919 --> 07:54:48.639
is you can, if you want to, you can just

2292
07:54:52.200 --> 07:55:03.919
flex or stimulate the various muscles in your body gently

2293
07:55:05.360 --> 07:55:08.799
in order to get more of a sense of how

2294
07:55:08.919 --> 07:55:23.799
they feel. And when you're relaxing. When you do tense

2295
07:55:23.880 --> 07:55:27.840
and muscle and you let it go and you let

2296
07:55:27.880 --> 07:55:36.880
it relax, it relaxes way more than it would normally.

2297
07:55:41.840 --> 07:55:46.840
That you have to feel that you're able to do

2298
07:55:47.040 --> 07:55:52.040
that there's no point in doing it if there's an

2299
07:55:52.080 --> 07:55:59.720
issue with the per part of your body. You need

2300
07:55:59.759 --> 07:56:10.360
to be gentle with yourself at all times when relaxing deeply.

2301
07:56:13.400 --> 07:56:28.599
It's important to be kind to yourself. As you notice

2302
07:56:28.799 --> 07:56:39.919
your mind. How much has your mind slowed down since

2303
07:56:40.000 --> 07:57:06.200
we started this recording? How came arm and peaceful? It's

2304
07:57:06.279 --> 07:57:16.040
your mind right now. We have nothing to think about

2305
07:57:18.560 --> 07:57:25.759
and just my voice to listen to. Because you know,

2306
07:57:26.279 --> 07:57:37.240
the intention behind this recording is relaxation. At the very least,

2307
07:57:38.799 --> 07:57:43.360
for you to feel more relaxed at the end of

2308
07:57:43.400 --> 07:57:51.639
the recording than you did at the beginning, at the

2309
07:57:51.799 --> 07:58:03.439
very least, for your mind just slowed down because your

2310
07:58:03.560 --> 07:58:19.919
body continues to relax, because that's what you want to happen.

2311
07:58:23.880 --> 07:58:42.279
That's what you expect to happen, for relaxation to fill

2312
07:58:44.919 --> 07:58:57.840
your body, maybe calm in your mind to the point

2313
07:58:58.040 --> 07:59:45.439
of boredom. When you start maybe to drift away, it's

2314
07:59:45.639 --> 07:59:55.360
almost as if you're moving further away from your body

2315
07:59:55.599 --> 08:00:09.200
in your mind, just leaving them there. Kind of liking it.

2316
08:00:09.680 --> 08:00:15.560
And Escape Pod and the spaceship and movie a space movie.

2317
08:00:15.680 --> 08:00:17.639
You know when they get into a little part in it,

2318
08:00:19.520 --> 08:00:35.599
since the man far away from the spaceship, safe to

2319
08:00:35.759 --> 08:01:46.000
dream and continue to relax, drifting so slow and be

2320
08:01:46.479 --> 08:02:43.279
so so relax and peace and focusing on the feeling

2321
08:02:48.840 --> 08:03:01.439
of those individual parts your body that's or relaxing. One

2322
08:03:01.520 --> 08:03:18.279
by one. You may find that every now and then

2323
08:03:21.159 --> 08:03:32.360
you realize that you aren't listening to my voice because

2324
08:03:32.400 --> 08:03:43.919
your mind started to imagine something different, maybe started to

2325
08:03:46.159 --> 08:03:57.319
almost move into something kind of a dreamy state, and

2326
08:03:57.400 --> 08:04:03.959
then you become aware of my voice again. And even

2327
08:04:04.119 --> 08:04:10.840
though you may want to focus on my voice, you

2328
08:04:11.000 --> 08:04:18.959
may also wish to allow your mind to just drift

2329
08:04:22.119 --> 08:04:38.560
naturally into that space of comfort and safety. As you

2330
08:04:39.439 --> 08:04:56.520
feel more comfort spreading through your body like a warm

2331
08:04:56.720 --> 08:05:13.360
blanket covering you gently, keeping your body at just the

2332
08:05:13.680 --> 08:05:30.759
perfect temperature, and even if you can hear background sounds,

2333
08:05:36.360 --> 08:05:48.840
they just don't seem to matter anymore. Has that sensor

2334
08:05:51.560 --> 08:06:08.400
peace spreads through your mind like a gentle breeze, yet

2335
08:06:08.599 --> 08:06:21.040
strong enough to blow away all negativity, strong enough to

2336
08:06:24.520 --> 08:06:34.639
remove from your mind any anxiety or stress that was

2337
08:06:34.840 --> 08:06:49.919
there before, and blow away any other thoughts or feelings

2338
08:06:50.319 --> 08:07:15.720
that just don't fit with the sense relaxation that is

2339
08:07:16.000 --> 08:07:41.319
feeling your body and your mind. Unless you focus on

2340
08:07:41.479 --> 08:07:47.919
your mind and count down from ten down to one,

2341
08:07:49.279 --> 08:07:59.639
and with each number you hear, your mind will become

2342
08:08:05.720 --> 08:08:25.319
slightly more relaxed, just just slightly se from ten down

2343
08:08:25.439 --> 08:08:32.520
to nine, just a slight movement, from nine down to eight,

2344
08:08:33.759 --> 08:08:50.200
just another small change in how you feel. Eight down

2345
08:08:50.319 --> 08:08:58.200
to seven. That feeling is a gap, almost like a

2346
08:08:58.680 --> 08:09:04.560
gap that starts to get the wider, the gap between

2347
08:09:05.680 --> 08:09:12.159
those feelings that you used to have in your mind

2348
08:09:15.479 --> 08:09:22.759
compared to the feelings you have there growing now, feelings

2349
08:09:22.799 --> 08:09:33.720
of comfort and security and confidence, and the gap becomes wider.

2350
08:09:35.400 --> 08:09:42.599
Eight down to seven, seven down to six, And when

2351
08:09:42.639 --> 08:09:48.880
you get to five, the mind will start to have

2352
08:09:49.080 --> 08:10:02.560
a certain physical sensation. Most likely there's a magnet outside

2353
08:10:02.680 --> 08:10:08.720
of your head sucking the tension and the stress and

2354
08:10:08.840 --> 08:10:16.000
any remaining feelings that you don't want, sucking them out

2355
08:10:16.479 --> 08:10:26.799
through your skull. And then down to four you can

2356
08:10:27.000 --> 08:10:35.279
start to really experience that sense of not just emptiness,

2357
08:10:35.520 --> 08:10:49.040
but space, a place full of fresh air, the place

2358
08:10:49.119 --> 08:10:55.639
where you can stretch. It's almost as if as you

2359
08:10:55.799 --> 08:11:00.759
go down to four and three, your mind is ex expanding,

2360
08:11:01.400 --> 08:11:14.439
with this sense of peace and tranquility growing as it

2361
08:11:14.599 --> 08:11:22.360
moves down to When you get to one, your mind

2362
08:11:25.720 --> 08:11:34.279
just feels exactly how you want to feel. It's almost

2363
08:11:37.360 --> 08:11:49.479
perfect feeling, maybe a sensation that.

2364
08:11:51.119 --> 08:11:52.479
It'd like to keep.

2365
08:11:55.560 --> 08:12:06.360
A place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,

2366
08:12:18.080 --> 08:12:22.759
and you can stay in that that space of comfort

2367
08:12:22.880 --> 08:12:32.599
and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this

2368
08:12:33.520 --> 08:12:39.520
space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind

2369
08:12:41.080 --> 08:12:51.000
just by counting ten down to one. And this is

2370
08:12:51.119 --> 08:12:55.560
something that you can do yourself when you're on your

2371
08:12:55.639 --> 08:13:04.439
own the time when you can maybe sit down, maybe

2372
08:13:04.599 --> 08:13:15.040
just for a few minutes, close your eyes. It just

2373
08:13:15.360 --> 08:13:27.880
counts slowly from ten down to one and re experience

2374
08:13:29.639 --> 08:13:39.959
these feelings in your mind. And when you feel that

2375
08:13:40.159 --> 08:13:55.319
way in your mind, your body copies your mind, and

2376
08:13:55.439 --> 08:14:01.759
that feeling is spread through your spine and your nervous

2377
08:14:01.880 --> 08:14:09.319
system into every part of your body, travels through your

2378
08:14:09.439 --> 08:14:23.400
blood stream, healing and relaxing every particle of your existence.

2379
08:14:36.119 --> 08:14:40.119
Now we can we can practice this a few times

2380
08:14:44.840 --> 08:14:47.799
before the end of the recording, and then you can

2381
08:14:49.319 --> 08:14:55.240
practice on your own and each time you count for

2382
08:14:55.560 --> 08:15:10.319
ten about one, the feelings of comfort, calmness, deep deep

2383
08:15:10.919 --> 08:15:27.439
relaxation becomes stronger and deeper feeling your mind and your

2384
08:15:27.639 --> 08:15:37.000
brain with these positive chemicals, the spread throughout your body,

2385
08:15:38.560 --> 08:15:47.240
relaxing you so quickly, relaxing your whole body and mind

2386
08:15:50.159 --> 08:16:03.799
so very very easily, just by counting down to one.

2387
08:16:08.959 --> 08:16:11.919
So we're gonna do it now. I'm going to count

2388
08:16:12.040 --> 08:16:16.439
from ten down to one. I'd like you to repeat

2389
08:16:16.599 --> 08:16:23.479
the number after me. So when I say ten, you

2390
08:16:23.520 --> 08:16:35.959
can just repeat to yourself ten. Just notice, be aware

2391
08:16:37.279 --> 08:16:44.560
of how you feel in your mind and your body.

2392
08:16:49.040 --> 08:16:55.439
Then when I say nine, you can repeat to yourself

2393
08:16:58.360 --> 08:17:13.159
nine a game, noticing the increase in comfort and calmness

2394
08:17:13.520 --> 08:17:23.799
in your mind and in your body. The same when

2395
08:17:23.880 --> 08:17:35.119
I say eight, when I say seven, six, when I

2396
08:17:35.200 --> 08:17:54.200
say five, four, when I say three, two, and lastly

2397
08:17:54.319 --> 08:17:59.720
when I say one, you can repeat that number.

2398
08:18:07.200 --> 08:18:07.319
Now.

2399
08:18:07.439 --> 08:18:13.040
Of course, when you do this on your own without

2400
08:18:13.159 --> 08:18:18.159
listening to me, you can say the numbers or whatever

2401
08:18:19.759 --> 08:18:28.240
speed that you feel is necessary for you, so you

2402
08:18:28.360 --> 08:18:34.159
can adapt. So if you feel you want to say

2403
08:18:34.279 --> 08:18:40.119
the numbers ten down to one faster than I do,

2404
08:18:41.880 --> 08:18:44.439
then you go ahead and do that. Or if you

2405
08:18:44.639 --> 08:18:48.639
feel when you do it yourself that you'd like to

2406
08:18:48.840 --> 08:18:57.200
have more more space between the numbers, maybe take a

2407
08:18:57.279 --> 08:19:05.279
lot longer to get ten all the way down to one.

2408
08:19:09.479 --> 08:19:22.799
That's your choice also to do. So I'm going to count.

2409
08:19:22.599 --> 08:19:31.000
From ten down to one, and when I get to one,

2410
08:19:32.319 --> 08:19:34.080
that will be the end of.

2411
08:19:34.159 --> 08:19:40.880
This recording, unless, of course, you're listening with music, and

2412
08:19:41.040 --> 08:21:57.360
the music will continue. Ten nine eight five s Foy

2413
08:24:22.040 --> 08:25:07.880
twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen twelve eleven

2414
08:25:12.840 --> 08:25:53.119
ten nine eight, seven, six, five, four three two.

2415
08:25:59.360 --> 08:25:59.599
One.

2416
08:26:08.000 --> 08:26:18.360
Now open your eyes, noticing how you physically feel having

2417
08:26:18.479 --> 08:26:26.080
counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress and tension

2418
08:26:26.599 --> 08:26:31.240
to leave through your fingertips and your toes. And as

2419
08:26:31.279 --> 08:26:35.959
you focus on your fingertips maybe they feel a little

2420
08:26:36.040 --> 08:26:43.080
bit tingly, which is I suppose quite an understanding considering

2421
08:26:43.159 --> 08:26:47.680
the tension has been exiting your body through your fingertips.

2422
08:26:54.119 --> 08:26:56.119
So now I'm going to count from twenty down to

2423
08:26:56.240 --> 08:27:04.040
one again. This time you can feel relief of tension

2424
08:27:05.680 --> 08:27:16.759
and stress, any anxiety that you may have leaving through

2425
08:27:16.799 --> 08:27:22.759
your stomach, just leaving through your stomach, almost as if

2426
08:27:23.319 --> 08:27:29.720
it's just releasing the whole of your stomach and navel

2427
08:27:31.240 --> 08:27:34.200
to just above your chest or below your chest, rather

2428
08:27:35.319 --> 08:27:38.560
so surround in your belly by an area, the whole area.

2429
08:27:40.680 --> 08:27:45.279
You can feel the tension of your body wherever it's left.

2430
08:27:45.560 --> 08:27:50.840
Just releasing from that area, and you may notice that

2431
08:27:51.000 --> 08:27:57.240
your stomach will become very relaxed. As I countdown from

2432
08:27:57.319 --> 08:29:04.639
twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight,

2433
08:29:08.759 --> 08:29:26.000
seven six, five ooh three.

2434
08:29:30.279 --> 08:29:35.840
Two what.

2435
08:29:40.759 --> 08:29:42.959
And you can open your eyes again if you choose,

2436
08:29:43.520 --> 08:29:47.159
or you can just keep them closed because it feels relaxing.

2437
08:29:49.479 --> 08:29:54.599
Just notice how your stomach feels. I notice as your focus,

2438
08:29:54.840 --> 08:30:00.279
just do a little scan of your body. It's nat say,

2439
08:30:00.319 --> 08:30:13.200
your body feels focusing on upper body, in your back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,

2440
08:30:16.240 --> 08:30:23.159
just noticing, and you know, you may start to feel

2441
08:30:25.639 --> 08:30:29.439
more of a sense of tiredness, which may be the

2442
08:30:29.560 --> 08:30:35.599
reason you're listening to this recording because you would like

2443
08:30:35.840 --> 08:30:45.319
to let go completely of everything and drift off into

2444
08:30:45.400 --> 08:31:00.439
a nice, natural, calm, relaxing sleep. So now we're going

2445
08:31:00.479 --> 08:31:09.919
to focus on your forehead, and if you choose, you

2446
08:31:10.000 --> 08:31:15.080
can incorporate your eyes in this focus as well. Your

2447
08:31:15.159 --> 08:31:21.720
forehead and your eyes. It's that whole area basically almost

2448
08:31:21.799 --> 08:31:24.520
as if you were wearing a mask, you know, like

2449
08:31:24.680 --> 08:31:29.799
a I don't know, a Batman mask or something, or

2450
08:31:31.919 --> 08:31:34.599
I'm trying to fa zorro or something, you know, the

2451
08:31:34.720 --> 08:31:37.799
kind of mask that covers your eyes but also covers

2452
08:31:37.880 --> 08:31:43.639
quite a lot of the forehead. I'm focusing on that

2453
08:31:43.840 --> 08:31:46.479
area because that's the area that we're now going to

2454
08:31:46.560 --> 08:31:52.919
release tension and stress from your mind and your brain.

2455
08:31:53.200 --> 08:31:56.759
From your mind, and any tension that you may have

2456
08:31:57.080 --> 08:32:01.200
remaining in your face, in your neck and your jewel,

2457
08:32:02.520 --> 08:32:08.959
your eyes, your forehead, or your scalp. So basically, any

2458
08:32:09.279 --> 08:32:15.240
tension within your head area, including your mind and your brain,

2459
08:32:19.040 --> 08:32:23.080
and that's going to be released through your forehead and

2460
08:32:23.159 --> 08:32:31.000
your eyes. As I count down again from twenty down

2461
08:32:31.080 --> 08:33:50.119
to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

2462
08:33:54.279 --> 08:34:27.799
five or three. What noticing and she scanned your face

2463
08:34:29.240 --> 08:34:37.360
with jaw, your eyes, the cheap bones, your ears, your forehead,

2464
08:34:38.360 --> 08:34:39.680
your scalp.

2465
08:34:40.840 --> 08:34:44.479
Your neck, the back of your neck, in the front

2466
08:34:44.560 --> 08:34:45.319
of your neck.

2467
08:34:46.040 --> 08:34:48.360
The side of your neck, and your throat.

2468
08:34:49.919 --> 08:34:51.560
H m hmmm.

2469
08:34:54.680 --> 08:35:05.759
Noticing being aware of the comfort increased feeling that relaxation

2470
08:35:07.919 --> 08:35:12.799
not just in your head and neck and mind, also

2471
08:35:13.279 --> 08:35:20.680
the rest of your body. Just know it is how

2472
08:35:20.880 --> 08:35:26.759
loose and calm you feel, and how easily.

2473
08:35:28.479 --> 08:35:30.000
It is to just let go.

2474
08:35:32.840 --> 08:35:48.560
Completely, let go completely, how easily.

2475
08:35:56.240 --> 08:35:59.439
That's what I'm gonna do now, is I want to

2476
08:35:59.599 --> 08:36:08.159
focus on the top of your head, and we're gonna allow.

2477
08:36:09.520 --> 08:36:17.880
Every last piece of tension or stress that might be

2478
08:36:18.200 --> 08:36:23.840
lingering or hiding in your body or mind or head.

2479
08:36:25.200 --> 08:36:25.599
To just.

2480
08:36:27.319 --> 08:36:30.799
Be sucked out on the top of your head.

2481
08:36:32.959 --> 08:36:39.520
And released. And yeah, I'm.

2482
08:36:39.680 --> 08:36:45.959
Sucked out into the clouds. Imagine to be aloud of God,

2483
08:36:46.000 --> 08:36:51.119
your head and it's like a whirlpool and this is

2484
08:36:51.319 --> 08:36:52.319
gonna suck.

2485
08:36:52.240 --> 08:36:56.439
That at tension our at top of your head.

2486
08:36:58.599 --> 08:37:08.119
And just take away good your focus. Imagine an opening

2487
08:37:08.279 --> 08:37:08.439
on the.

2488
08:37:08.520 --> 08:37:12.360
Top of your head with a tension.

2489
08:37:12.040 --> 08:37:17.919
And stress and in remaining issues maybe worries of concerns

2490
08:37:18.119 --> 08:37:18.479
that have.

2491
08:37:18.720 --> 08:37:22.720
No use to you. Now you can all be sucked

2492
08:37:22.799 --> 08:37:24.439
down at the top of your head.

2493
08:37:25.959 --> 08:37:31.880
And taken away. As I count down again from twenty

2494
08:37:32.319 --> 08:38:52.240
down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine,

2495
08:38:58.680 --> 08:39:10.959
eight seven six.

2496
08:39:14.959 --> 08:39:21.360
Five four.

2497
08:39:25.200 --> 08:40:01.360
Three one. Bree, I'm noticing how you feel relax and

2498
08:40:01.720 --> 08:40:16.080
calm you physically and mentally feel right now, how peaceful

2499
08:40:18.240 --> 08:40:24.959
your mind feels. It feels so nice to just let go,

2500
08:40:27.240 --> 08:40:36.520
to give yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly,

2501
08:40:41.639 --> 08:40:46.720
just to take a break from all that pointless worry

2502
08:40:47.000 --> 08:40:52.200
and concerns about things that you don't need to think

2503
08:40:52.279 --> 08:41:03.119
about right now, because this is your time to let go.

2504
08:41:04.479 --> 08:41:14.240
This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful

2505
08:41:14.400 --> 08:41:21.680
in your mind, relaxed in your body. They can feel

2506
08:41:22.240 --> 08:41:32.040
so good, so nice to just not have to do anything,

2507
08:41:34.360 --> 08:41:43.279
to be able to really enjoy that serenity that comes

2508
08:41:44.799 --> 08:41:57.880
of letting go completely, that peacefulness that comes with being

2509
08:41:58.560 --> 08:42:09.840
in this peaceful space. And you can keep this sense

2510
08:42:10.040 --> 08:42:21.919
of calmness for as long as you choose. If you

2511
08:42:22.159 --> 08:42:28.799
choose to drift off into a deep, healing, natural sleep,

2512
08:42:30.119 --> 08:42:36.799
then you can do that. It's completely up to you,

2513
08:42:41.599 --> 08:42:46.319
and you can keep this feeling of calmness physically in

2514
08:42:46.560 --> 08:42:54.799
your mind as long as you choose to feel completely relaxed,

2515
08:43:00.520 --> 08:43:09.279
completely relax And I'd like you to make up your

2516
08:43:09.520 --> 08:43:22.159
mind that you're going to relax. And I want to

2517
08:43:22.279 --> 08:43:25.680
explore that with you what it feels like when you

2518
08:43:25.840 --> 08:43:34.880
actually decide that you're going to relax, not forcing yourself,

2519
08:43:35.000 --> 08:43:41.200
but giving yourself that. Yes, it is a command, really,

2520
08:43:41.279 --> 08:43:48.200
isn't it. When you're telling yourself relax in a gentle

2521
08:43:48.319 --> 08:43:55.360
but firm way that only you can really tell yourself

2522
08:43:55.799 --> 08:43:58.639
in that way. You can't really have someone else saying

2523
08:43:58.680 --> 08:44:01.720
to you, now it relax, relax.

2524
08:44:02.360 --> 08:44:02.599
You know.

2525
08:44:04.759 --> 08:44:07.000
It needs to be gentle, but you can't. Someone else

2526
08:44:07.080 --> 08:44:15.119
can't really have the same the same kind of influence

2527
08:44:16.319 --> 08:44:24.479
or power that you have over your own physicality, over

2528
08:44:24.680 --> 08:44:33.880
how you feel, because when you say it to yourself,

2529
08:44:35.159 --> 08:44:42.159
it means more. It's personal, and your brain and your

2530
08:44:42.599 --> 08:44:49.639
unconscious mind and your body listens to what you say. So,

2531
08:44:49.959 --> 08:44:53.720
for example, we'll test it out and do a little test,

2532
08:44:53.840 --> 08:44:57.479
a few little tests along the way, and you can

2533
08:44:57.599 --> 08:45:03.840
get more of an idea of the force, the positive

2534
08:45:04.080 --> 08:45:10.479
force that you can have in creating a sense of

2535
08:45:10.759 --> 08:45:15.759
comfort and relaxation in your body and your mind quite

2536
08:45:15.880 --> 08:45:28.599
quickly just by you telling yourself to relax. So I'm

2537
08:45:28.639 --> 08:45:35.360
going to start by it's focus on your hands. To

2538
08:45:35.479 --> 08:45:38.479
focus on your hands and just tell your hands to relax,

2539
08:45:39.520 --> 08:45:44.400
and just say relax. As you focus on your hands.

2540
08:45:46.680 --> 08:45:51.240
You could say my hands are relaxed, or I want

2541
08:45:51.279 --> 08:45:55.479
my hands to relax. But I think if you actually

2542
08:45:55.560 --> 08:46:02.520
do it directly by focus and imagining that your hands

2543
08:46:03.560 --> 08:46:05.919
can hear what you're saying, you know, like they've got

2544
08:46:05.959 --> 08:46:11.680
little ears, which is a little weird. So talking to

2545
08:46:11.880 --> 08:46:28.000
your hands and just say relax, you know, disin now

2546
08:46:28.080 --> 08:46:43.439
your hands start to relax. Now focus on your eyes

2547
08:46:43.959 --> 08:46:47.279
and tell your eyes to relax. You're just saying the

2548
08:46:47.400 --> 08:46:54.319
same word relax. And find the right tone for you.

2549
08:46:54.319 --> 08:47:01.000
You know, I might say relax, but you you, you

2550
08:47:01.159 --> 08:47:08.680
might say relax or relax. You know, you might say

2551
08:47:08.720 --> 08:47:15.799
it differently to yourself, and that's important for you to

2552
08:47:16.119 --> 08:47:21.599
gauge what feels right for you. To just tell your

2553
08:47:21.759 --> 08:47:27.360
eyes to relax, whilst focusing on your eyes, your eyelids,

2554
08:47:27.520 --> 08:47:32.880
the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and just tell

2555
08:47:32.959 --> 08:48:08.080
your eyes directly relax now. Now, I just did that myself,

2556
08:48:08.479 --> 08:48:18.279
And sometimes you may feel that you need a bit

2557
08:48:18.400 --> 08:48:24.119
more time for the different parts to relax, you know,

2558
08:48:24.240 --> 08:48:28.720
because I start talking again and maybe that part hasn't

2559
08:48:28.799 --> 08:48:32.000
relaxed fully. But what will happen is that we'll just

2560
08:48:32.119 --> 08:48:36.759
continue to relax even though I'm talking. And that's happened

2561
08:48:36.880 --> 08:48:44.080
with my eyes. Something else I noticed is when I

2562
08:48:44.159 --> 08:48:48.360
started focusing on my eyes, that actually almost became they

2563
08:48:48.439 --> 08:48:51.200
got worse before they got better in a way. So

2564
08:48:51.560 --> 08:48:54.639
I felt a degree of tension growing in my eyes

2565
08:48:56.279 --> 08:49:00.759
and then disappearing. So I think what was really it

2566
08:49:00.880 --> 08:49:06.759
was just me becoming more aware of the tension that

2567
08:49:06.959 --> 08:49:11.080
was already there that I wasn't. I wasn't focused on

2568
08:49:11.200 --> 08:49:18.759
it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging it or really

2569
08:49:20.360 --> 08:49:33.720
conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes is still continuing

2570
08:49:33.799 --> 08:49:40.279
to relax, as well as my hands. Actually, my hands

2571
08:49:40.319 --> 08:49:46.240
have got a certain kind of energy, like not buzzing,

2572
08:49:46.439 --> 08:49:51.439
but I can kind of funeral degree of energy in

2573
08:49:51.520 --> 08:49:57.599
my hands. Maybe that's where the tension is being released.

2574
08:49:59.439 --> 08:50:09.279
Maybe that's causing that. The next part, I think we

2575
08:50:09.360 --> 08:50:10.279
should focus.

2576
08:50:10.040 --> 08:50:12.919
On the back of the neck. That's a part which quite.

2577
08:50:12.759 --> 08:50:17.560
Often, well for me, holds tension. I don't know about

2578
08:50:17.560 --> 08:50:21.880
it for yourself, but I think it's quite a standard

2579
08:50:21.959 --> 08:50:24.520
place where tension is sometimes held.

2580
08:50:26.080 --> 08:50:29.240
So and I'm doing.

2581
08:50:29.360 --> 08:50:31.959
Exactly what you're doing as you do it, as well.

2582
08:50:32.119 --> 08:50:36.040
So I'm telling my body parts to relax as well.

2583
08:50:36.840 --> 08:50:38.680
So if you tell your neck at the back of

2584
08:50:38.759 --> 08:50:41.319
your neck, focus on the back of your neck, and

2585
08:50:41.520 --> 08:50:48.840
just say relax in your own words, in your own tone,

2586
08:50:49.240 --> 08:50:50.119
in your own voice.

2587
08:50:50.799 --> 08:50:51.720
You can say out.

2588
08:50:51.599 --> 08:50:56.200
Loud, or you can just say to yourself internally. But

2589
08:50:56.360 --> 08:50:59.720
you're focusing and you're saying it literally.

2590
08:50:59.680 --> 08:51:03.040
To the back of your neck. Is this the back

2591
08:51:03.119 --> 08:51:06.360
of your neck. You can actually hear what you're saying.

2592
08:51:09.759 --> 08:51:13.360
So do that now, Just say relax to the back

2593
08:51:13.400 --> 08:51:15.880
of your neck, and I'll do the same.

2594
08:51:54.639 --> 08:51:58.400
And what I noticed and you may have that similar thing,

2595
08:51:59.639 --> 08:52:02.720
do you. Even though I was focusing on the back

2596
08:52:02.799 --> 08:52:13.720
of my neck, other parts started to I don't know,

2597
08:52:14.080 --> 08:52:17.479
showed themselves to me or maybe because they want to

2598
08:52:17.520 --> 08:52:21.400
be relaxed as well. But I started noticing the feelings

2599
08:52:21.439 --> 08:52:24.840
in my shoulders, attention in my shoulders and in my

2600
08:52:24.959 --> 08:52:31.279
upper back. Whether that was because my.

2601
08:52:31.799 --> 08:52:35.639
Back of my neck was saying, well, I'm pretty much okay,

2602
08:52:37.240 --> 08:52:46.040
it's the other parts that need attention, but.

2603
08:52:46.200 --> 08:52:49.000
My low my back of my neck is still relaxing.

2604
08:52:50.479 --> 08:52:52.799
But I just became more aware of the other parts

2605
08:52:52.880 --> 08:53:00.240
that needed attention. Now this might happen and it's not.

2606
08:53:01.799 --> 08:53:04.360
It doesn't mean that it's going wrong. It just means

2607
08:53:05.159 --> 08:53:11.240
you're being notified with more places that also want to

2608
08:53:11.279 --> 08:53:18.080
feel relaxed. So I'm going to focus on my upper

2609
08:53:18.119 --> 08:53:23.080
back so you can do the same. Even if you

2610
08:53:23.159 --> 08:53:28.439
don't have any feelings of tension that obvious in your

2611
08:53:28.560 --> 08:53:35.119
upper back. You just focus on your back and the

2612
08:53:35.200 --> 08:53:40.240
whole area from the shoulder blades down to the middle

2613
08:53:40.279 --> 08:53:44.479
of your back and the spine. And with me, it's

2614
08:53:44.639 --> 08:53:46.560
more the shoulder blades more.

2615
08:53:51.279 --> 08:53:56.759
Yeah, that's the parts that really sort of giving me.

2616
08:53:58.439 --> 08:53:59.159
The nod.

2617
08:54:00.680 --> 08:54:02.520
That it needs to relax in the soul. I was

2618
08:54:02.520 --> 08:54:05.840
going to ask that part to relax, and you can

2619
08:54:05.880 --> 08:54:06.799
do the same now.

2620
08:54:17.840 --> 08:54:33.759
Relaxed up the back. There's something strange happened there, and

2621
08:54:33.919 --> 08:54:36.360
this often happens.

2622
08:54:36.439 --> 08:54:37.319
I've been doing this for.

2623
08:54:39.840 --> 08:54:48.200
Over sixteen years or something, and often I'm one surprised, amazed,

2624
08:54:48.279 --> 08:54:54.159
really bad. There can be a feeling. So when I

2625
08:54:54.319 --> 08:54:57.720
was focusing on the back of my neck, my other

2626
08:54:57.880 --> 08:55:02.759
back was starting to feel quite stressed and in need

2627
08:55:02.919 --> 08:55:08.240
of attention. As soon as I started talking to you

2628
08:55:08.520 --> 08:55:14.080
about my upper back and talking about getting ready to

2629
08:55:14.439 --> 08:55:19.200
ask the upper back to relax. Why the back already

2630
08:55:19.279 --> 08:55:25.040
started to relax. It's almost as if it doesn't need

2631
08:55:25.200 --> 08:55:35.200
to hear the words, just needs attention, just needs to

2632
08:55:35.279 --> 08:55:47.720
be noticed. And that is something that often happens in

2633
08:55:48.599 --> 08:55:55.520
this type of situation is when you start to relax

2634
08:55:57.040 --> 08:56:00.400
a couple of parts of your body, as we done

2635
08:56:00.479 --> 08:56:06.319
with their hands, their eyes and their eyelids, and.

2636
08:56:06.560 --> 08:56:13.479
Now back of the neck, top of the back.

2637
08:56:15.119 --> 08:56:18.479
Of the back, the rest of the body seems to

2638
08:56:18.720 --> 08:56:27.360
just take notice and decide in its own way to

2639
08:56:27.599 --> 08:56:34.639
start relaxing. Other parts of your body start to just

2640
08:56:36.439 --> 08:56:43.799
become looser. I suppose it's kind of like a bit

2641
08:56:43.840 --> 08:56:48.360
of an avalanche, you know, the little ball starts rolling,

2642
08:56:48.560 --> 08:56:51.560
and before you know it, the whole of your body.

2643
08:56:51.400 --> 08:56:53.680
Is completely relaxed and can't.

2644
08:57:02.560 --> 08:57:10.159
And if you focus on your face, you focus on

2645
08:57:10.240 --> 08:57:18.880
your eyes, your eyelids, your eyebrowns, and the muscles around

2646
08:57:18.959 --> 08:57:28.479
your eyes, maybe you start to notice that your forehead

2647
08:57:28.799 --> 08:57:33.439
is more relaxed than it was. Maybe your face is

2648
08:57:33.560 --> 08:57:40.240
more relaxed. I would say, my entire face is a

2649
08:57:40.319 --> 08:57:53.680
lot more relaxed than it was. So we're going to

2650
08:57:53.759 --> 08:58:01.400
focus now on your shoulders again, just like before, Just

2651
08:58:01.599 --> 08:58:04.759
tell your shoulders. I mean you can't do them in

2652
08:58:04.840 --> 08:58:07.639
the digity. You can do the right shoulder and you shoulder.

2653
08:58:09.200 --> 08:58:11.319
I just can't do both at the same time.

2654
08:58:13.400 --> 08:58:16.639
Just tell your shoulders as you focus on them in

2655
08:58:16.720 --> 08:58:22.840
your mind, focus on how you feel. Maybe you can

2656
08:58:23.200 --> 08:58:29.919
see them in your mind's eye. Just tell your shoulders

2657
08:58:33.680 --> 08:59:25.159
to relax as nice as they relax. But I do notice,

2658
08:59:26.799 --> 08:59:33.560
I mean, especially with my bank, is the connection between

2659
08:59:33.799 --> 08:59:38.720
the different parts the back, the shoulders.

2660
08:59:38.159 --> 08:59:38.840
The neck.

2661
08:59:44.200 --> 08:59:48.639
Being all connected and being such a large part of

2662
08:59:48.680 --> 08:59:55.000
your body, it's always hard to separate them from each other.

2663
09:00:00.479 --> 09:00:03.319
And my lower back is starting to relax on the saone.

2664
09:00:09.479 --> 09:00:10.639
Maybe you're going too.

2665
09:00:10.639 --> 09:00:16.599
Slow, and that could be an issue because we all

2666
09:00:16.720 --> 09:00:23.080
go at different speeds. And the idea at the beginning

2667
09:00:23.159 --> 09:00:25.520
of this recording was for you to be able to

2668
09:00:25.759 --> 09:00:42.119
just say to yourself, relax without focusing on any particular

2669
09:00:42.319 --> 09:00:48.119
part of your body. Because when you know that tenving

2670
09:00:48.200 --> 09:01:00.560
your hands to relax, and your hands relax. Tell your

2671
09:01:01.439 --> 09:01:08.759
eyelids and your eyes and muscles around your eyes and

2672
09:01:08.880 --> 09:01:16.200
your eyebrows to relax, and they relax.

2673
09:01:21.959 --> 09:01:24.520
You tell the back of your neck.

2674
09:01:27.680 --> 09:01:43.720
To relax and it relaxes. You tell your alpha back

2675
09:01:50.400 --> 09:02:02.200
to relax in their relaxis.

2676
09:02:09.919 --> 09:02:10.639
You tell your.

2677
09:02:10.680 --> 09:02:25.439
Shoulders to relax, and they relaxed.

2678
09:02:48.840 --> 09:02:50.400
Then you tell your hands.

2679
09:02:50.159 --> 09:02:52.959
To relax, They relaxed.

2680
09:02:52.840 --> 09:02:54.680
And they continued.

2681
09:02:55.759 --> 09:02:56.400
To relax.

2682
09:03:02.240 --> 09:03:07.840
When you told your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

2683
09:03:08.880 --> 09:03:14.279
your eyebrows, to relax, they relaxed.

2684
09:03:17.319 --> 09:03:19.200
And continued.

2685
09:03:20.119 --> 09:03:20.680
To relax.

2686
09:03:27.159 --> 09:03:30.759
When you told the back of your neck, focused on

2687
09:03:30.840 --> 09:03:31.880
the back of your neck.

2688
09:03:35.360 --> 09:03:41.240
And told it to relax, he.

2689
09:03:41.360 --> 09:03:57.279
Relaxed and continued to relax. And you told your alpa

2690
09:03:57.360 --> 09:04:17.680
back to relax, be relaxed and continued to relax. That's

2691
09:04:17.759 --> 09:04:23.439
with your shoulders. You told your shoulders to relax, in

2692
09:04:23.599 --> 09:04:35.720
your shoulders relaxed and continued to relax.

2693
09:04:41.360 --> 09:04:46.319
And it's not just that, It's.

2694
09:04:49.000 --> 09:04:53.439
That the rest of your body has also been listening,

2695
09:04:55.119 --> 09:05:01.200
and no relaxation has been spreading. So from your eyes,

2696
09:05:01.560 --> 09:05:08.959
the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face, into

2697
09:05:09.040 --> 09:05:22.840
your skin, into your jaw, into the front and sides

2698
09:05:23.000 --> 09:05:27.759
of your neck, all the way down your chest and stomach.

2699
09:05:34.439 --> 09:05:37.400
Your relaxed hands and shoulders.

2700
09:05:38.840 --> 09:05:49.479
Meet up through your arms, relaxing the farms, your upper arms, elbows,

2701
09:05:49.680 --> 09:06:08.000
your wrists, letting your give lower back, the hips static

2702
09:06:08.000 --> 09:06:17.680
explin and just start to relax and continue and comfort

2703
09:06:19.319 --> 09:06:27.120
spreading through your legs all the way down.

2704
09:06:27.800 --> 09:06:37.400
To your ankles, the tops of your feet, the side of.

2705
09:06:37.440 --> 09:06:46.599
Your feet, and the bottoms of your feet, relexing.

2706
09:06:49.599 --> 09:06:50.720
Into your toes.

2707
09:06:54.519 --> 09:07:01.040
Each tone relaxing, come.

2708
09:07:04.279 --> 09:07:34.599
Loose, and if your body relaxes more, your mind becomes slower, peaceful,

2709
09:07:42.319 --> 09:07:43.319
to the point.

2710
09:07:43.480 --> 09:07:56.239
Where if you choose to fall asleep, you can.

2711
09:07:56.959 --> 09:08:13.480
Easily do that, he said, drift doing, because there's nothing

2712
09:08:13.599 --> 09:08:29.319
going on in your life to praise speaceful your body.

2713
09:08:29.839 --> 09:08:35.319
You tease to rise.

2714
09:08:59.239 --> 09:09:06.440
With that action between your body relaxing. The word that

2715
09:09:06.760 --> 09:09:19.319
you say to yourself, relax means that you don't need

2716
09:09:20.760 --> 09:09:26.440
to focus on just one part. You can just focus on.

2717
09:09:28.440 --> 09:09:36.919
Your entire body, saying.

2718
09:09:37.120 --> 09:09:38.680
The powerful word.

2719
09:09:42.760 --> 09:09:43.360
Relates.

2720
09:09:53.080 --> 09:09:53.800
And there's a.

2721
09:09:55.680 --> 09:10:14.720
Those familiar sensations of comfort spreading throughout your body, using

2722
09:10:15.160 --> 09:10:16.559
and calming.

2723
09:10:18.519 --> 09:10:19.839
And the eating.

2724
09:10:23.440 --> 09:10:34.839
Every power to your body, eating more relaxed.

2725
09:10:49.559 --> 09:10:53.239
And all you need to do from now on is just.

2726
09:10:55.120 --> 09:11:15.559
Telling yourself about eighteen.

2727
09:11:15.199 --> 09:11:15.360
Now.

2728
09:11:29.279 --> 09:12:18.839
So starting now with number twenty nineteen eighteen seven six

2729
09:12:35.919 --> 09:12:59.199
six four.

2730
09:13:29.839 --> 09:14:50.000
Yes, well, y.

2731
09:15:00.279 --> 09:18:27.720
Attatatatatastasattattatatatatatatatas u.

2732
09:21:00.279 --> 09:25:24.360
Attataty one.

2733
09:25:30.440 --> 09:25:55.519
Son captain down from ten to one, ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

2734
09:25:57.519 --> 09:26:01.279
Four three.

2735
09:26:03.879 --> 09:26:06.959
Two one.

2736
09:26:14.040 --> 09:26:16.919
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

2737
09:26:17.000 --> 09:26:20.919
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

2738
09:26:21.239 --> 09:26:30.919
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

2739
09:26:31.000 --> 09:26:34.839
little bit of pressure there, like you're counting down from

2740
09:26:34.879 --> 09:26:37.559
ten to one. What do you expect me to do? Man,

2741
09:26:38.519 --> 09:26:42.000
expect me to just to go with floppy just because

2742
09:26:42.000 --> 09:26:51.639
you're counting down. If you try it again, but this time,

2743
09:26:51.760 --> 09:26:58.160
I'll go this slower this time, and you focus on

2744
09:26:59.040 --> 09:27:03.319
the whole of your boy before we focus on your legs.

2745
09:27:05.760 --> 09:27:16.040
Just notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed.

2746
09:27:20.800 --> 09:28:04.319
M every number that I count down ten nine, at, eight, seven, six, one,

2747
09:28:14.800 --> 09:29:13.959
four three one, you just notice how how you feel generally,

2748
09:29:14.400 --> 09:29:25.760
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about yeah,

2749
09:29:28.279 --> 09:29:35.519
counting down from ten to one. It's that space that

2750
09:29:35.680 --> 09:29:54.400
you have, that space between being active physically or mentally.

2751
09:29:55.279 --> 09:29:55.800
It's just.

2752
09:30:00.480 --> 09:30:05.680
Sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

2753
09:30:05.879 --> 09:30:12.480
not saying anything or deeding to think about anything. So

2754
09:30:12.599 --> 09:30:16.199
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

2755
09:30:16.239 --> 09:30:27.239
a space, the gap. And the more I camped down

2756
09:30:27.279 --> 09:30:31.599
for the tents of while, the bigger that gap becomes.

2757
09:30:34.639 --> 09:30:41.000
So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort and relaxation.

2758
09:30:46.959 --> 09:30:59.279
It's a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or

2759
09:30:59.760 --> 09:31:13.720
this comforts physically or emotionally, moves them away, allows you.

2760
09:31:16.400 --> 09:31:16.919
To just.

2761
09:31:19.919 --> 09:31:25.959
Slow down. So I'm going to count again from ten

2762
09:31:26.040 --> 09:31:34.400
down to one, and notice that gap widening, the gap

2763
09:31:36.199 --> 09:31:40.599
and this it widens. It's almost like that the stress

2764
09:31:40.800 --> 09:31:43.720
and attention falls into the gap.

2765
09:31:57.199 --> 09:31:59.080
It gives you that distance.

2766
09:32:00.559 --> 09:32:01.319
In space.

2767
09:32:03.680 --> 09:32:03.720
No.

2768
09:32:08.639 --> 09:33:04.839
Ten nine, fight, seven, six, five, four.

2769
09:33:22.959 --> 09:34:16.519
Three, And how did you What do you feel now?

2770
09:34:29.279 --> 09:34:30.160
Can you notice?

2771
09:34:31.480 --> 09:34:44.480
Do you feel in calm? Do you feeling more?

2772
09:34:45.160 --> 09:35:12.360
Last, as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

2773
09:35:28.360 --> 09:35:31.760
You're just gonna start with focusing.

2774
09:35:31.959 --> 09:35:33.160
One of your thighs.

2775
09:35:48.000 --> 09:35:51.959
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be

2776
09:35:52.080 --> 09:35:59.279
doing because I'm sure like most of your body is

2777
09:35:59.440 --> 09:36:12.120
not unlock all right now, just focusing on the hole

2778
09:36:12.239 --> 09:36:18.599
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the side

2779
09:36:18.760 --> 09:36:22.559
of your fires, the bottoms of.

2780
09:36:22.639 --> 09:36:29.839
Your thighs, out of thighs, and inner thighs basically a

2781
09:36:29.959 --> 09:36:37.519
hole of your thigh that leads into your hip and

2782
09:36:37.680 --> 09:36:48.440
it goes down to your knee joints. Now, this is

2783
09:36:48.519 --> 09:36:54.440
a big area. It's a very.

2784
09:36:54.480 --> 09:37:01.279
Heavy area based strong probably the strongest muscles in your

2785
09:37:01.360 --> 09:37:03.279
body and in your thighs.

2786
09:37:13.480 --> 09:37:14.360
I don't think we.

2787
09:37:16.160 --> 09:37:21.959
Perhaps will give enough attention to advise.

2788
09:37:27.959 --> 09:37:30.639
Perhaps we think they.

2789
09:37:30.680 --> 09:37:51.120
Acknowledge how important that an thighs are to alliance, how

2790
09:37:51.279 --> 09:37:55.559
much they actually do to us.

2791
09:37:59.440 --> 09:38:10.199
Or lives. It may seems sound really weird, but.

2792
09:38:13.080 --> 09:38:19.080
I think that all of our body parts, especially advice,

2793
09:38:20.239 --> 09:38:21.639
needs some TLC.

2794
09:38:24.959 --> 09:38:27.800
I did love Sha a bit of that.

2795
09:38:34.279 --> 09:38:35.000
Acknowledgement.

2796
09:38:37.800 --> 09:38:38.199
Thank you.

2797
09:38:41.319 --> 09:38:46.839
Gratitude for what advice difference.

2798
09:38:53.440 --> 09:38:58.959
And I know this may sound as strange and make

2799
09:38:59.040 --> 09:39:02.160
you think, am I surely I should be able to

2800
09:39:02.599 --> 09:39:11.319
in the garden hugging a tree or something. It's hard

2801
09:39:11.400 --> 09:39:15.559
to set my crophone up on a tree. I do stoors.

2802
09:39:15.559 --> 09:39:19.360
Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. I can't

2803
09:39:19.400 --> 09:39:28.239
see the television from the tree. You move down to

2804
09:39:28.360 --> 09:39:29.239
your knees.

2805
09:39:30.760 --> 09:39:39.400
Gain such an important part, and that be don't necessarily

2806
09:39:40.800 --> 09:39:47.319
I want to speak to myself here. I don't necessarily appreciate.

2807
09:39:48.440 --> 09:39:53.519
All that my needs deep for me until I have

2808
09:39:53.639 --> 09:39:59.480
a problem with my me occasionally either a bash it

2809
09:39:59.800 --> 09:40:05.639
or it's taking for some reason. It's then that I

2810
09:40:05.839 --> 09:40:11.800
realize how much it does. The benefit I've been able

2811
09:40:11.839 --> 09:40:20.440
to use my legs without in kind of physical discomfort

2812
09:40:22.040 --> 09:40:23.959
is a beautiful thing.

2813
09:40:25.319 --> 09:40:31.599
That's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

2814
09:40:32.760 --> 09:40:34.160
You know that's comfort.

2815
09:40:38.319 --> 09:40:43.400
Don't you focus on needs regardless of how your needs

2816
09:40:43.440 --> 09:40:51.160
to feel. We can have that sense of gratitude.

2817
09:40:52.000 --> 09:40:55.000
And love to your needs for all they believe you.

2818
09:41:05.599 --> 09:41:09.599
You can still have the attention and your figs. Maybe

2819
09:41:09.800 --> 09:41:16.080
notice how your fires feel. Maybe you notice that they

2820
09:41:16.959 --> 09:41:35.360
are relaxing more deeply as you've focus now on the bottoms.

2821
09:41:35.400 --> 09:41:40.400
If you rex miss and your cart bottoms, the bones

2822
09:41:41.360 --> 09:41:51.279
between needs, your feet incorporate. And course your ankles so

2823
09:41:51.599 --> 09:42:00.400
important said, even like.

2824
09:42:00.480 --> 09:42:03.080
The slightest spray of an ankle.

2825
09:42:04.040 --> 09:42:05.239
Who knows how.

2826
09:42:06.760 --> 09:42:16.760
How much we take now our includs were granted. And

2827
09:42:16.879 --> 09:42:19.199
it's kind of strange in a way when you think that.

2828
09:42:21.760 --> 09:42:24.199
You know, logically our wrists are a.

2829
09:42:24.279 --> 09:42:26.839
Lot of dinner. That will the rest of our arms,

2830
09:42:28.000 --> 09:42:31.480
which is okay, it doesn't I don't see any calling

2831
09:42:31.599 --> 09:42:38.879
that you know, we're just picking stuff up incourse so

2832
09:42:39.120 --> 09:42:49.199
much in the rest of our legs, and from that

2833
09:42:49.319 --> 09:42:55.519
physics perspective, logical even it doesn't really make sense that

2834
09:42:55.720 --> 09:43:03.440
all this weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles

2835
09:43:04.519 --> 09:43:18.000
and leading to your feet in an area didn't b Yeah,

2836
09:43:18.040 --> 09:43:23.599
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports o

2837
09:43:23.839 --> 09:43:35.680
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps you

2838
09:43:35.919 --> 09:43:49.160
to get around and do my wiles the cord Muss.

2839
09:43:49.199 --> 09:43:56.839
Of course, Well, I'm a younger. I couldn't see the

2840
09:43:56.919 --> 09:43:58.080
point of Clark muscles.

2841
09:43:58.879 --> 09:43:59.639
I didn't seem to do.

2842
09:44:00.040 --> 09:44:07.279
Yeah, okay to retictoes, then what clock muscles got work?

2843
09:44:08.800 --> 09:44:10.000
The course, that's not true.

2844
09:44:10.160 --> 09:44:14.160
The car muscles are being used and they will use

2845
09:44:14.239 --> 09:44:32.879
their legs and your shoes. Let's protect with legs, shape

2846
09:44:32.919 --> 09:44:33.760
them away.

2847
09:44:35.519 --> 09:44:35.720
Muss.

2848
09:44:35.959 --> 09:44:49.000
A protector the pi leading cause to rentals.

2849
09:44:51.839 --> 09:44:52.199
M hm.

09:44:57.199 --> 09:45:07.080
We focus the papers ns wise, I picture you think

2851
09:45:07.199 --> 09:45:12.239
you would be the same and maybe understood that the

2852
09:45:12.319 --> 09:45:29.160
same happens the same from your thoughts focusing on addis

2853
09:45:29.919 --> 09:45:43.680
huns ensst that sensation.

2854
09:45:49.760 --> 09:45:56.599
M happen.

2855
09:45:59.000 --> 09:46:02.720
Energy with the boys do.
