00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:07.440
Hello, and welcome to Jason Newland Vibe. As soon as

2
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.400
I start and he is on me. Yeah, welcome to

3
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:14.519
Jasonnewland dot com. I got this little wet nose sticking

4
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:18.760
in my pocket. What is it I got? Is nothing

5
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:23.600
in my pocket? Then? So yeah, this has let me

6
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.920
boy you to sleep. It's Trivia Tuesday, and please only

7
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:36.039
listen when you can safely close your eyes. And what

8
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.679
I thought to do, what I thought to do today,

9
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.399
what I thought i'd do today is I'm going to

10
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:44.560
focus on popes.

11
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:47.119
Now.

12
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.079
Just let you know, none of nothing I say is

13
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.079
going to be controversial or anything like that. It's just

14
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:59.079
I've looked for just trivia about popes. The problem I

15
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.719
had because I did this little bit of research yesterday

16
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.799
in preparation. Because I'm a good boy and I've done

17
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:13.640
all my I've done all my homework, but I try

18
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.400
to get them to put to Oh they did, they did, Okay,

19
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:23.079
here we go. I wanted to because they kept having

20
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.920
popes like Ivy and Evvy one one X and all

21
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.040
that stuff. I don't know all that is. I do

22
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.920
know what it is Roman numa roles, but I'm not

23
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:43.640
really a Roman numeral person. So I have saved it.

24
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:50.079
Where is it? Where is it? Popes, popes, popes, popes popes.

25
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:58.319
Why is it? That's weird? It should be in popes, popes,

26
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:07.159
popes per popes. That's really I saved it. I one

27
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.639
hundred percent saved it. Right, I'll download it again, download

28
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:18.560
it again, open file notebook, which is a bit rubbish.

29
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:24.680
So popes and their personal quirks to here we go.

30
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.639
So just let you know. I do have a Facebook

31
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.599
group called Jason Newland's Boring Group. I have a YouTube

32
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:38.280
channel call or, which is at Jason Newland. I'm also

33
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:44.919
in the middle in the process of putting together a

34
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:51.319
shop where you can download podcasts, episodes the links on

35
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.520
my website. But I'm not really going to publicize it.

36
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.240
I just just be working on it. It's taken forever,

37
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:06.680
for ever and ever never. So oh I did did

38
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:07.800
I did? I did?

39
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:08.560
I get some.

40
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:10.560
Yeah?

41
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:11.080
I did?

42
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.639
I got some messages. I'm going to read them out

43
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:22.719
because that's important to do that. Dude, do do do

44
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:29.759
do do? Here we go? Where are you? So? First

45
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:35.400
of all, I need to say hello to a new

46
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:42.560
member of the group, which is there's no other is

47
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:47.400
there or any others. No, okay, So there's a new person,

48
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:59.479
a new member of our group, Jason Newland's Boring Group. Sandy, Hi, Sandy,

49
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.000
thirty hours ago. So I have not all Wow, I

50
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.120
didn't even say aloa. That's weird. I do apologize. How

00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:18.519
can I have not said alone? So I'm welcome, Sangie

52
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:26.079
a better try and spell your name right, Sandy. Unless

53
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.240
there was someone else that added as well, that might

54
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.759
maybe that was at night when I was asleep. It

55
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.879
might have been. Yeah, perhaps perhaps I saw it, you know,

56
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.399
like got up in the night, looked at it and oh,

57
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:46.720
gus nice and then just fell asleep. That's possible. I

58
00:04:46.839 --> 00:05:01.360
got where is it? It's oh yeah, yesterday. I don't

59
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.680

I've seen on a different post that Molly posted, and

72
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.120

From Kate, Kathleen me to your treasure. Thank you, Thank

80
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:58.439
you very much. Figure that much. So back to popes now,

81
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.560
I hope this isn't I'm not doing this in bad

82
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.240
taste by the way. I'm doing it just as a

83
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.399
I think it's a be an interesting subject. But my

84
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:14.480
nan loved the pope and she was her pope. Well,

85
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.319
she had more than one pope, but the pope that

86
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.240
she had had was I think one of the longest

87
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.000
running pope's ever. It was a John Paul. Let's have

88
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:32.800
a look longest Pope Rain. I don't know if it

89
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:37.199
rains are the right word. Pious, Okay, fair enough, thirty

90
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:43.639
one years, but my name's Pope was definitely in there.

91
00:07:47.079 --> 00:08:00.399
Pope who, Pope, Peter, Pope, Pope John Paul, Yeah, John

92
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:07.639
Paul so he wow. So yeah, nineteen seventy eight to

93
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.319
two thousand and five. So my nun actually had a

94
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.480
picture of him next to her, next to her chair

95
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.399
in the bed, in the not the bedroom, the living room.

96
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.920
So from nineteen seventy eight, from the age of eight,

97
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:26.879
so really most of my adult life. I was going

98
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:32.799
to say two thousand and five to yeah, so four well, okay,

99
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.799
not for last twenty years. It hasn't been so for

100
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.039
quite a big time. Seventy eight, eighty eight, ninety eight,

101
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.639
two thousand, So twenty six years or twenty seven years.

102
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.480
It's quite a long time, isn't it. In fact, it

103
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.960
says it here exactly twenty six years, five months and

104
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:55.879
seventeen days. But the oldest or the longest running monk

105
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.000
monk Pope brother Saint Peter thirty four year year and

106
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:06.120
that's thirty sixty four AD to thirty three sixty seven ad.

107
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.360
I don't know what that means. It goes back a while,

108
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:23.720
doesn't it. WHOA Okay, so let's go to the list.

109
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:30.840
Let's see what sort of trivia there is. Pope Francis

110
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:38.120
two thousand and thirteen till now, he hasn't been pope

111
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.320
for that long, is he? I mean, I know he

112
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.799
passed away a couple of days ago, but I didn't

113
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.600
think he'd been PopEd for more than about five years time,

114
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:53.559
don't afly? So he became pope just before my men left?

115
00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:03.320
Oh so two thousand and thirty? Is it? Says present?

116
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.279
Because this is not up to date with what's gone

117
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.240
on this week. He was the first pope from Americas,

118
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:16.879
from the Americas, and the first Jesuit pope. I don't

119
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:18.919
know what that. I don't know what what is it.

120
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.480
I don't know what a Jesuit pope is, and I

121
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:26.320
don't know what I've from the Americas. So is that like, well,

122
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:27.279
where was he from then?

123
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:29.399
It was?

124
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.240
I don't know. I really don't know. I don't know

125
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.759
much about where people are from. I'm forty eight percent

126
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:41.519
Irish though. Pope John Paul Is second nineteen seventy eight

127
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.720
seventy eight to two thousand and five was an avid skier.

128
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.399
I'm sorry, I just had the image of him skiing

129
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.720
in his attire, which just put a weird image in

130
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.799
my head. It was an avid skier and continue to

131
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:05.600
hit the slopes well in to his papacy. So I'm

132
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:10.080
guessing the papacy is when he's the pope. So he

133
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.480
was a skiered before that. I mean, I don't know

134
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.799
why you'd need to stop well, I mean, the only

135
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.480
thing is a heck of a lot of the popes,

136
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.200
especially more recently, seemed to have been quite elderly when

137
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.919
they become pope, So I don't know if that's all

138
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:35.240
has been the case, to be fair. Pope Benedict Nope

139
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:40.519
x v I two thousand and five to twoenty thirteen

140
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.720
was known for his love of cats in classical music.

141
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:54.039
Ooh right, Pope John X I'm not even gonna I

142
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.720
can't even do it. I'm just going to put Pope

143
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:04.320
John because x x III nineteen fifty eight to nineteen

144
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:13.600
sixty three was affectionately nicknamed Good Pope John for his

145
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:19.360
warm personality. So I wonder how many popes my name's known.

146
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.279
Then I don't know if my name ever got to

147
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.679
meet the pope. Because she was a devout Catholic. She

148
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.480
used to go to Lord's quite regularly, and she used

149
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.080
to clean the church. And I used to go to

150
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:39.559
midnight mess with her on like Christmas time, and when

151
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.960
I lived in the same town as her, I used

152
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:47.639
to go to Yeah, quite not often, I suppose, but yeah,

153
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.639
over like my late teens, I'd go to church with

154
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:55.919
her on a Sunday and then we're going to get

155
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.000
tea and cakes and stuff in a coffee shop or something. Yeah,

156
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:06.480
it was nice, So I do that, and her sister

157
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.559
in law used to come along, so my granddad's sister

158
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.519
used to be there. She used to come. I might

159
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.159
have also done it in nineteen ninety yen, I don't know,

160
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:27.000
it's probably sixteen, seventeen, eighteen nineteen, yeah, period in twenty maybe,

161
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.679
and then I moved away, so I wasn't really around

162
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:34.159
anymore after that. I might have gone to church with

163
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:39.039
her other times. I definitely went, like midnight mess, but

164
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.879
when she after she broke her hip, she wasn't mobile

165
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.320
enough to be going, and her eyes went as well.

166
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.679
She didn't they didn't fall out when she fell over there.

167
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:53.519
I mean, her eyesight went so she couldn't see so

168
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:57.919
well at night. And I said a question about that.

169
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.279
She can't, I can't see anything any anytime. I said, Oh, okay,

170
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.240
just asking this, so so a you're going to go

171
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.159
during the day, she makes no difference what time I go. Okay,

172
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:15.679
I'm just offen to help, she laughed. So, yeah, I

173
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:19.200
went to the last time I went to midnight Mass

174
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:23.679
with her was in two thousand and four. After that,

175
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.120
she was never there again. She was never in that

176
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:35.320
town at Christmas, so she went probably about five days

177
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:40.679
before Christmas. She would go up to her daughter's with

178
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:45.000
my aunt, and she'd spent Christmas there and New Year,

179
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:51.200
and she did that every year until two thousand and four,

180
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:56.320
two thousand and fourteen, so for pretty much ten years

181
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.240
she did that, and that's where she she left us.

182
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:08.720
Was actually there when she was at my aunt's. So

183
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.559
I got quite fond memories of two thousand and four

184
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:17.320
Christmas because it was one of the better ones, one

185
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:22.679
of the ones where I suppose I felt more part

186
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:24.679
of a family in a way, you know. I was

187
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.279
staying with my nan, slept in the spare room with

188
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.440
my name my aunt and uncle were in the other room.

189
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:36.279
Mynn was in her room, and then I went to

190
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.960
we did midnight Mass, and we got home and then

191
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.840
I went to We opened some presents as well, because

192
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:47.279
my Auntie had a tradition of opening little presents Christmas Eve,

193
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.240
which is I think is a good one. Plus I

194
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.240
hadn't had any chocolate for about six months, or I

195
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:59.679
had some chocolate and it was wow. And then I

196
00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:04.840
went to my dad's for Christmas dinner, and then I

197
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:09.440
came home in the evening, had my Christmas evening thing

198
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:15.240
at my NaN's, and then Boxing Day, I think we

199
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:17.679
all went back to my dad's or my dad came

200
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:23.000
around to us, I can't remember exactly, probably one of them,

201
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:27.519
one of them. And then I went back the day

202
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:32.559
after Boxing Day. So it was a yeah, it was

203
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.399
a really good Christmas. That was two thousand and four.

204
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.480
Just I don't know, I just felt I think staying

205
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.159
at my NaN's that's kind of what I should have

206
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.000
done really all along, I say all along, but like

207
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:59.159
I did stay at hers a fair bit, but it

208
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:01.120
would have been easy. Yeah, I just would have been

209
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.119
better to me to stay there, like during the nineties,

210
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:11.759
probably didn't stay there. I did, I did, but I

211
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:16.720
can't remember. But it's weird because I'd be sleeping in

212
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.400
the same room that I had when I was seven

213
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:24.359
and eight, like the little room, because that's the house

214
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:26.480
that we used to live in before my Nanogrande took

215
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:32.119
it over, So that room always, that house always meant

216
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:36.920
something to me. If I ever won the lottery or

217
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:42.000
had some decent money come in, I would try and

218
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:49.599
buy that house. Yeah, definitely try and buy that house

219
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:56.240
just so I could go. And I don't know, I

220
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:57.920
don't know if i'd want to live in it even

221
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.039
but i'd definitely I'll probably would quite like to live

222
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:05.359
in it. I kind of like it. I mean, not

223
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.880
as a shrine to my men, but because it's not

224
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:12.359
going to look the same anymore. You know, all the

225
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.440
furniture is gone, it's not going to smell the same,

226
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.759
it's not going to be the same house that it

227
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:22.440
was when we lived there and when my nan lived there,

228
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.319
because it always felt like home, because it was home.

229
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.160
You know.

230
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:36.400
It was the first time pretty much since I was

231
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.079
It was the first time since I was three months

232
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:46.640
old or six months old that I lived in a

233
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:53.359
family home with two parents, and all my brothers all too,

234
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.119
my older brothers all together. It was the first time,

235
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.599
so I was like eight or seven, yeah, about seven,

236
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:06.599
So that was the first time. And then the house

237
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.240
kind of stayed the same. It changed, but it was still,

238
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:16.519
you know, still somewhere we went to regularly. Every single week.

239
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:21.720
I used to go and see my nan, and even

240
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.920
though my granddad was there, he didn't say hardly a

241
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.880
word to me. I think I just annoyed him. I

242
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:36.119
don't know why, but he was quite strict to my granddad,

243
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.279
but he didn't say much to me. I had a

244
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.720
couple of conversations with him. Mom was about boxing. I

245
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.359
think it was the lead up to Frank Bruno fight,

246
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.480
maybe when he fought Mike Tyson, so this would be

247
00:19:53.559 --> 00:20:02.000
like nineteen eighty nine. And because my granddad was next boxer,

248
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:08.519
actually a boxing champion in the army. And see, I

249
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:10.599
didn't even know this. I knew he was a boxer.

250
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:16.279
I knew that, but I didn't know until long after

251
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:19.000
he had passed away. And mynn was showing me. She's

252
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.160
going through stuff, showing me his medals and pictures of

253
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.599
him holding trophies, and I don't even know if that

254
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:28.440
was just in the army. He might have been a

255
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:32.039
schoolboy amateur champion as well. I really don't know, I

256
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:37.759
can't remember, but he was. Yeah, he was a champion

257
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:45.799
in whatever context of a boxing didn't become professional in

258
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:50.119
them days, BlimE me. I mean he left he left

259
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:54.839
the army at age twenty nine. I think the year

260
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:59.880
before about nineteen thirty eight, so I think it was

261
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.799
year before the Second World War started, so he was

262
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.359
twenty nine, which is bearing in mind he was only

263
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:12.839
a lightweight. He probably would have been maybe lightweight well,

264
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:17.079
orweight something like that, not that that's really thing, but

265
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:21.400
you definitely don't start a professional career at twenty nine generally.

266
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:24.960
I mean you can if you're an olympian, and some

267
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:28.720
people do do it, but generally in them days, you know,

268
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:36.000
he had well he didn't, because even if he had

269
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:39.079
turned professional, he'd only wond if he would have had

270
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.119
a year. And then he was in there, and you know,

271
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.680
he went back in the army again. He was there

272
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:49.920
the first people to get called back up, and so

273
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:59.720
he was what thirty thirty seven before all finished, and

274
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.440
then because he was missing an action as well, so

275
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:09.599
they presumed no longer, which is weird because my nan

276
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:13.599
actually spent half the war thinking he was gone, because

277
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:15.480
she got sent a letter saying that he was gone,

278
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.920
and then after the war finished, she got another letter

279
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:24.680
saying or telegram probably oh, we found him. He was

280
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:30.160
in It was in a camp, and so we found him,

281
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.799
but we can't. You can't see him because we have to.

282
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:37.039
We have to rehabilitate him, because we have because he's

283
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.119
basically we need to feed him and get him back

284
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:47.720
to being normal human size again. So they didn't. This

285
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.319
is I don't know why to talk about this, but

286
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:54.880
he this just like a kind of person he was.

287
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.000
He didn't want fuss, even at the end of his life,

288
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:04.000
he didn't want fuss at all. And so he was

289
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.119
taken to an army base in the UK to recoup.

290
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.119
I don't know if I'm sure my name was allowed

291
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.119
to visit him. I have no doubt that once he

292
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.039
was kind of on his way to recovery, she was allowed.

293
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:19.759
And they have to do debriefings and stuff like that,

294
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:22.799
I guess. But he was in one of the yeah,

295
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:28.920
one of the camps, so he they what do they do?

296
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.880
I think he had about three months, maybe six months

297
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:39.559
in there, and then she got told he's coming home.

298
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:43.160
He's coming home this weekend or this friday or whenever,

299
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.559
you know, not this Friday. Now, this is a long

300
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:51.440
time ago. This is nineteen forty five, forty six, whenever.

301
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.640
And I don't quite know what month in nineteen forty

302
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.759
five that the whole thing finished. I'm talking about the

303
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:02.559
Second World War now, And that was not going to

304
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:08.119
be my trivia Tuesday. Now, my trivia Tuesday is my granddad.

305
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.359
Tell me stuff about my granddad. I'll tell you a

306
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:14.039
bit more stuff about my granded if you want. I

307
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:19.079
don't mind. I've got There isn't any set script for

308
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:25.079
these recordings, to be fair, it's I don't normally mention him, really,

309
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.119
you know, I do. I've talked about my nan a

310
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:34.000
lot over the years, because she's the person I was

311
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:42.759
closest to. It's can I tell you something right? I

312
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:45.359
did something the other day.

313
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:45.759
Now.

314
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.480
I don't know why I did it. I don't know

315
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:50.039
if it was the right thing to do, or the

316
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:56.079
wrong thing to do, or just pointless. But here's what

317
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:58.799
I did. Don't worry. It's not going to be anything

318
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:05.480
too weird. It is a bit weird. I actually read

319
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:13.680
it out to you. Right there we.

320
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:26.160
Go, you go, here we go, here we go.

321
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:46.119
Oh okay, so is something I got details. I don't

322
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.000
know why. Again, because it was my dad's birthday on

323
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:54.160
the nineteenth, So on Friday, I sent him a card

324
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.279
and I sent him like a gift basket of beers

325
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:01.799
and lager and whatever stuff like that Moonpig, because I

326
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:03.759
couldn't get up there. I just couldn't face a travel

327
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.720
while I was on moon Pig. And this is not

328
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:16.039
an advert for moon Peg, by the way. If it

329
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:18.799
is that, I'm not getting paid anything. It's just what

330
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:26.680
I use. There are other places that you can use. Right.

331
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.519
I'm building this up to something, but it is kind

332
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:38.440
of something to me. I had an idea I start

333
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:43.240
because I've been thinking about my first step mom, you know,

334
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:48.880
recently I did a podcast about a little while ago,

335
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:56.920
and I thought to myself, m M. Because Moonpig said

336
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:06.400
anyone else, anyone else, and I thought, okay, I'll send

337
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:10.680
her a card happy Easter card. Now she lives with

338
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:13.000
my brother. My brother lives with her, so I know

339
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:21.519
the address anything else, And I ended up sending some

340
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:30.279
mixed tulips a bouquet. So and I thought, you know what,

341
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:36.880
I'll take this opportunity to say something nice. Bearing in

342
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:40.880
mind I haven't really seen her, had any regular contact

343
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:45.480
with us since nineteen eighty seven, which is quite a

344
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:51.799
long time, isn't It was that nearly forty years. Yeah,

345
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.079
about March nineteen eighty seven April nineteen eighty seven. I've

346
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.079
seen her a couple of times. There was once when

347
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:02.880
I did visit her. I think twice I tried. I

348
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:12.519
traveled up there and I stayed over, and another time

349
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.799
I started over one night. And this was probably around

350
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:24.599
that time, unless that was maybe that was eighty six

351
00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:27.559
before she moved up there. But I did travel up

352
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:30.559
there and I hitchhiked all the way there. It took

353
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:37.319
me about twelve hours, and she said I wasn't. She

354
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:39.920
did give me something something to eat, took me back

355
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:45.720
to the to the took me to the train station,

356
00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:47.960
and I think she might have even paid for me

357
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.799
to get back on the train. But there was no

358
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:54.160
room for me to stay because someone else from my

359
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:57.240
town where we were staying. So that was that was

360
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:00.359
a weird one. So that was an I think I

361
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:05.039
ever saw her again, really, other than when my dad

362
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:09.359
would go and visit my little brother. Sometimes they'd just

363
00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:13.680
kind of park up. It would be like a almost

364
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:19.559
like a like a kidnap, a hostage and swap, you know,

365
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:22.599
and like he'd get out of the car and she'd

366
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.400
get he'd get into her car and he'd drive off,

367
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:29.640
or she'd dry he'd get into our car and we'd

368
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:31.680
take him for the weekend. So I used to go

369
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:36.000
for the ride sometimes in my sort of seventeen eighteen,

370
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:42.319
nineteen eighteen, yeah, seventeen eighteen years old, just for the

371
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:48.599
just for the ride really. And I saw her when

372
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.279
my brother had appendicitis when he was in hospital as

373
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:58.480
appendix burst and so he yeah, sepsis. It was really bad,

374
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:02.279
but he survived, so it's good. This is back BlimE

375
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:05.880
me in the nineties, I'd say maybe early two thousands,

376
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:14.400
possibly late nineties, early two thousands, maybe late I can't remember.

377
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:19.000
I'd have to ask him. But and that was weird

378
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:21.240
because we're all in the we were in the hospital

379
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:27.240
room and she walks in. It's like it was an

380
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:31.559
uncomfortable experience. Really, I could see, like my dad's his

381
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:35.480
wife now. It was just it's an uncomfortable situation because

382
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:37.960
they're not they don't really know each other or anything.

383
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:41.039
But of course she's got every right to be there

384
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:43.079
because if someone was in hospital. So I'm not saying

385
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:48.519
anything about bad Bobby. But everyone left very quickly and

386
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:50.759
I had to follow, and I kind of wanted to

387
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:55.039
stay and spend some time with her, but I couldn't

388
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:57.519
because they were out of there as soon as she

389
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:05.400
got there, and that was my you know. So that's

390
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:07.599
the last time I saw her. So that was probably

391
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:14.519
twenty odd, twenty five, twenty five, thirty years ago or whatever.

392
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:22.079
Twenty five years ago, let's say, maybe more. And that

393
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:28.680
was briefly for what about three or four minutes, and

394
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:34.160
I had no contact with her, really nothing. I did

395
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.519
send her like Christmas, a big Christmas present thing once.

396
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.799
I think that might have been early early nineties when

397
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:44.400
I had a job and I just sort of sent

398
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:49.359
a big, a big thing, but or maybe it was

399
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:54.160
during the nineties and during the late eighties maybe, but

400
00:31:54.319 --> 00:32:01.200
since then nothing and that was it. So it's been

401
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:05.039
kind of weird, and she's had some health issues and things.

402
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:10.279
I'm not to go into details. But my little brothers

403
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:14.200
obviously it's really close. It's his mum, so he's super

404
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:20.839
close to her, and I had this conversation with my

405
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:27.039
friend Luke. You know, his attitude is well, his opinion

406
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:33.279
was just contact her. I said, I can't, I can't

407
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:35.640
do it. He said, well, if you leave it too late,

408
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:41.880
you regret it. Just do it. And I know he's right.

409
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.119
I knew, you know, I know that's the right thing

410
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.720
to do, but I didn't know how to do it.

411
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:50.279
Now I've kind of done it, but I've not done

412
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:55.279
it in a way that I've not really opened up

413
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:01.480
any dialogue. So but what i'd done so I sent

414
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:05.279
a card. I sent a bouquet of flowers. On the card,

415
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:13.759
I wrote, dear pooh head, No, I didn't where's my

416
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:17.160
bloody birthday presents for the last forty years?

417
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:17.720
Now?

418
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:19.319
I didn't. I didn't do that because I didn't swear

419
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:24.960
you owe me thirty eight years worth of Christmas presents,

420
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:30.400
not to mention the Easter eggs. Wow, all those presents

421
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:34.119
I never got. I basically saved a lot of money

422
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.480
in it, really thousands if you think about it over

423
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:43.039
the years. Even if like what spend twenty cod a year,

424
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:50.119
twenty quid forty quid, let's say fifty quid, fifty coud

425
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:56.000
a year on presents, you know, including birthdays, Christmas, including cards,

426
00:33:56.200 --> 00:34:00.920
maybe an Easter egg. So that's fifty for a year

427
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:09.280
times by ten years is five hundred pound. It's nearly

428
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:14.440
forty Well, it's nearly forty years. So let's say five

429
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:21.519
hundreds two thousand pound. Take off a couple of years,

430
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.559
so one thousand and nine hundred pound, about one thoy

431
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:33.400
nine hundred. She's saved. It's not bad, is it? And anyway,

432
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:36.320
so what I wrote I didn't know that was going

433
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:38.119
to come out of my mouth. What I wrote down

434
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:41.320
is go away with any please, thank you. I don't

435
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:43.559
know what she thought about that. Who's Vinnie? Why is

436
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:47.519
she saying? Why's he saying? Go away? Vinnie? He's staring

437
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:53.079
at me again? What what you got to play with?

438
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:53.480
Oh?

439
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:57.440
This is weird. He got to play with Archie earlier.

440
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:01.679
But I've got now. And neighbor gave me a long

441
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:06.400
lead in the one's extendable leads. Just go with it to me,

442
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:11.440
because Vinnie was trying to play with her dog and

443
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:14.559
he kept basically kept wrapping around. He couldn't do it

444
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:18.760
on the lead I had. So Vinny's is staring at

445
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.199
the food that's been out there too long now, So

446
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:26.119
the foods, I've seen him eat stuff off the floor,

447
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:29.199
which is just wrong. Yeah, he won't eat food that's

448
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:35.000
been out too long. I'll get you something in a minute, mate,

449
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.840
if you're that hungry, I will get you something, I promise.

450
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:41.880
But he's had loads of when he's out, he has treats,

451
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:48.000
but it's this dog food. It's not treats really. Oh yeah,

452
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:53.360
he's doing a poo right. Archie goes up and literally

453
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:59.079
sticks his nose just right where it's like, what are

454
00:35:59.119 --> 00:35:59.519
you doing?

455
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:00.519
Move?

456
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:04.800
It was weird. It was very very strange. I mean

457
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:06.639
they've got a very close relationship, but.

458
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:09.400
You know, m.

459
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:18.320
It's just a it was an unusual moment. So what

460
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:22.840
I wrote was, thank you for everything you did for

461
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.280
me when I was a kid. You were the bestest mummy.

462
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:29.079
I know you gave up a lot to take on

463
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:34.039
me and my brothers. I am grateful, So dear mum.

464
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:36.199
Happy used to love Jason. So that that was it.

465
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:42.119
Now there's not a lot of room on a moon

466
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:44.480
Peak card. You know, I'm going to write my life story.

467
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:50.880
But everything there was true. She was a great mum

468
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:52.800
and she did give up a lot. I mean, she

469
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:57.719
was twenty one years old when she took on three kids,

470
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.159
one who was seven, one who was nine, and when

471
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:05.800
it was eleven. And then within a year she had

472
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:08.280
another baby. She had a baby, you know, like I said,

473
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:11.239
she had four kids. So by the age of being

474
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:14.480
like twenty two, she had she went within one year

475
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:23.800
pretty much no kids to four kids. And then she

476
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:26.440
was looking at this massive house. Well it was a

477
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:28.880
big house because we were quite a lot light of us.

478
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:30.480
There was a lot of us. You know, we were

479
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.719
very messy if I can get the words out or

480
00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:38.719
what wolf? What's the what wolves mean? A lot of us.

481
00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:45.400
It was a lot to take on. And I think

482
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:48.559
at the time I didn't really appreciate it. I didn't

483
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:53.559
appreciate I mean, I adored her, I appreciated her. I

484
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:57.079
loved her to bits, but I didn't appreciate what I

485
00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:03.719
guess she was sacrifice and I guess I mean she

486
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:06.960
adopted us, so we were her you know, legal she

487
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:15.760
was my legal guardian. Yeah, so it's I mean she

488
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:23.280
was only like, what thirty when she moved away, or yeah, thirty,

489
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:33.679
because I lived with her from nineteen seventy seven till

490
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:41.199
nineteen eighty seven, but it's like less than that, so

491
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:47.239
it's just less than ten years we were together, so

492
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:51.679
nine years really, but nearly ten years I suppose technically,

493
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.480
so she was only like thirty thirty one. She was

494
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:04.440
just still young and she had grown up sons, because

495
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.079
at that point when she was thirty, when I say

496
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:13.039
nineteen eighty seven, when she left, I was sixteen. My

497
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.239
other brother was eighteen, and the other one was twenty.

498
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:20.880
So you know, to be thirty one with a twenty

499
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:24.760
year old, eighteen year old and a sixteen year old kid,

500
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:29.320
kids plus an eight year old as well, you know,

501
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:35.880
that's it's a lot. So I'm telling you, don't tell

502
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.000
anyone else. I'm just just sharing this with you. I

503
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.800
don't know why. I kind of keep forgetting about it,

504
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:48.280
and then I remember, and I didn't. I didn't put

505
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:51.239
my dress on there. I did put my name? Did

506
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:53.519
I put my name? I think I put my name.

507
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:56.239
I mean she might not know who I am. She

508
00:39:56.360 --> 00:40:02.639
might have forgotten. She should remember me, shouldn't she. That's

509
00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:10.719
ten years she should I mean I remember things. I

510
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:13.400
mean something that's happened for ten years, knowing someone for

511
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.960
ten years, I remember those I remember people from when

512
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:24.000
I was a kid, But I said, we're all different.

513
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:27.239
I mean, she's moved on. I might she might be thinking,

514
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:37.679
who the hell is this Jason? Yeah, and why is

515
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:41.400
there a picture of a cake and flowers? Why couldn't

516
00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:43.039
you just give me a picture of some flowers and

517
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:48.800
a nice big cake to eat? Yum yum, yum yum.

518
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:52.280
I don't know, but yeah, that's what I did again.

519
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:57.400
This is trivia Tuesday talking about popes. Believe it or not,

520
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:03.000
I really am. I'm talk about popes. Oh, my granddad.

521
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:09.840
He so he was coming back my nan or just

522
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:11.920
not mine, just like not just my name, but like

523
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:16.000
the whole street put on a street party, welcoming him,

524
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:25.320
welcome hing, welcome him, well, come in him back. Words

525
00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:34.079
are complicated today. So I think they put banners up

526
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:37.159
and all kinds of stuff because he was he grew

527
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.079
up in that area. I think, so he knew them.

528
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:44.039
They all knew him and everything. Maybe they knew his family.

529
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:50.559
So it was like, well, come back Ted. That was

530
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:54.239
his name, But I guess it would be his name,

531
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:56.599
wouldn't it if they were putting banners up, same way,

532
00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:59.000
if they put well, come back Bob, That would have

533
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:04.480
been weird, wouldn't it if it wasn't his name anyway?

534
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:09.320
And I don't know how much of a party it was,

535
00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:13.239
but I don't know, but it was, you know, he

536
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:16.199
was he was a hero. Like everyone that came back

537
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:19.400
from the Second World War, they were all heroes. It's

538
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:21.519
just he was. He was a bit late coming back,

539
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:28.920
so they they put a party on in the street,

540
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:31.159
party to welcome him back. He was supposed to come

541
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:34.800
back on her I think it's probably a Saturday afternoon

542
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:39.119
or whatever. He did come back on exactly the right day,

543
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:42.360
but he came in the back way, came in through

544
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:48.119
the back gate, and went straight upstairs to bed or

545
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:53.920
he didn't want the fuss. I remember my name telling

546
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:57.400
me that. She's like, he didn't want the fuss. He

547
00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:00.519
didn't even come and say hello to people. I'm sure

548
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:03.760
he did in his own time, probably individually, but he

549
00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:11.760
didn't want that fanfare, which is ultimately there's no way

550
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:14.719
of knowing how another person feels. That's how he felt,

551
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:20.519
and that's that's it. That's it, and it really, I mean,

552
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:22.960
I do suppose, yeah, he wouldn't expect him to be

553
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:27.599
doing you know, cartwheels, and stuff down the road. But

554
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:32.800
I'm guessing some of the neighbors would have been a

555
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.320
bit annoyed though, and you put on some effort. Yeah,

556
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:40.159
I don't know, but it was liked, a liked person.

557
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:46.000
It's one of these really neat and tidy. Always wore

558
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:56.800
trousers and a shirt, shoes, always polished. I remember my

559
00:43:56.920 --> 00:44:01.000
name was there and a dressing gown, and I said

560
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:03.800
that because I stayed over one. I stayed there for

561
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:07.519
a couple of weeks, no, a week when my stepmm

562
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:09.679
is on holiday on the state with her in the

563
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:15.079
flat before she moved away, and my nan was in

564
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.679
a dressing gown ready for bed, and I was getting

565
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:22.000
ready for bed, and I said to him, and they said,

566
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:24.719
I were going to bed. And I said, how come

567
00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:28.599
Grandad hasn't changed into his pajamas because he's standing there

568
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:40.519
with a shirt, trousers like brown, polished shoes, trillby hat, overcoat.

569
00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:44.679
And she said, no, that is his pajamas. So it

570
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:49.000
was Yeah, apparently he used to every time he woke up.

571
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:54.960
Maybe not every time he woke up, because anyone that's

572
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:59.119
older than thirty or whatever will know that sleeping all

573
00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:02.440
the way through was a thing due to we weiz.

574
00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:07.679
We either needs to do we wiz sometimes. But when

575
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:09.840
he got out of bed in the morning, he would

576
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:14.599
do press ups and sit ups right right, you know,

577
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:26.639
even when he was elderly. One thing I didn't realize

578
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:28.920
he did a really nice thing for me once, and

579
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:34.079
I didn't realize it was nice. I didn't realize he

580
00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:40.199
was kind of reaching out to me. Phinney's doing them.

581
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:43.960
Started to look around. Hinney's looks like he's trying to

582
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:49.800
about to do something, get something off the little table

583
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:56.760
next to the settee. I don't know why. You don't

584
00:45:56.760 --> 00:46:00.880
know why. Let's make it some noise. I was a

585
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.519
big brother tonight. It's on at nine o'clock, Big Brother

586
00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:09.360
of Viction and three people are being evicted. I've never

587
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:14.400
been so excited in my life. Three people.

588
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:16.079
Wow.

589
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:21.239
Yeah, thing, he's really playing up now for some reason.

590
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:28.360
So my granddad, I think I just moved into my flat,

591
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:34.960
my first flat, which was above this shop, the chip shop.

592
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:43.239
I'm falling asleep talking about it, and he gave me.

593
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:47.760
He took me into his shed. I thought I was

594
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:56.920
in trouble, and he said, can you hear him? How

595
00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:03.079
much noise can it's basically that's what he was trying

596
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:05.719
to get from the table. I gave it to him,

597
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:09.360
but it's a bag that had treats him. But the bag,

598
00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:13.400
it's an empty bag, but he's ripping it the bits.

599
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:23.400
He's not happy. It's really not And I didn't know.

600
00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:27.440
I knew my dad, my granddad, was really into gardening,

601
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:32.719
like really into it. And I do sometimes think that

602
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:37.599
that's noisy. I do think that perhaps that should have

603
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:44.599
been his career because he loved it so much. But

604
00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:46.679
he had a garden and he made it beautiful and

605
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:50.639
he had a shed thin he come on, mate, it's

606
00:47:50.679 --> 00:48:06.039
way too much noise. Please as if thanks completely ignores me, so.

607
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:11.800
Sh sh.

608
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:25.480
Sh okay. I don't know why it's funny. It's not

609
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:28.519
even like I mean, I know it's nice to hear

610
00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:32.760
him in the background sometimes just pit a pattern around,

611
00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:42.320
maybe having a drink for water, But if this is

612
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:45.599
a human being, you know, it's say if I had

613
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:49.599
a friend that was sitting over there and they didn't

614
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:51.440
want to be alone by it to make a recording.

615
00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:55.280
So so I'll just just sit there quietly. I'll I'll

616
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:58.039
just be half an hour, an hour or whatever. So

617
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:01.400
I'm talking, and they're doing that eating out some crisps

618
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:08.519
and crisp packet when I'm dancing. To be quiet, and

619
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:23.239
that's them being quiet as those that you that when

620
00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:26.880
you go to the cinema you like to, you know,

621
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:31.079
give some popcorn or some treats and sweets, and you've

622
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:36.280
got plastic bags. This is what the people around you

623
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:48.320
are hearing all the way through the movie. Make sure

624
00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:54.760
you almost want to be considerate, don't it. Well, I

625
00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:57.440
think this should be is the band on plastic. I

626
00:49:57.480 --> 00:49:59.679
mean there's a band on plastic nearly everywhere else. Now

627
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:08.960
have a band on plastic in cinemas. Just no plastic. Shample,

628
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:13.639
no plastic. He's finished now, good. So my granddad took

629
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:18.639
me into the shed and I never realized he was

630
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:30.480
a mister Meggie. Maggie mcgooney, mcgannymany mcganny. Yeah, like the

631
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:40.679
in Maggie, your Meggy, the karate kid in Meggie, Mister mcgaggy,

632
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:46.639
mister miyaggy, that's Meggy. He wasn't actually that person. It

633
00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:53.239
was my granddad. But he had bonze eye trees. I

634
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:59.280
thought it was a Japanese thing. I know, mister maaggiaggy

635
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:01.679
or MAEGGI had one had them in America, but I

636
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:04.679
didn't think we had Bonzie trees here. And I wasn't

637
00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:07.280
even sure they were a real ever, like it's on tea,

638
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:08.920
it's a movie. I didn't know if they were real.

639
00:51:11.760 --> 00:51:13.519
I thought, maybe it's a made up thing to make

640
00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:18.599
this story more interesting. But my grandther had these Bonzi

641
00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:25.320
trees that he'd spent years cultivating and he gave me.

642
00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:29.159
He gave me one of them. It was kind of

643
00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:32.400
like a flat warming because it was the first time

644
00:51:32.440 --> 00:51:34.280
I was living on my own, so I was sixteen.

645
00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:41.000
I never lived on my own really before that, and

646
00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:42.920
it was a lovely gift. I didn't look after it.

647
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:55.079
Yeah it's true I didn't, so it didn't last. But

648
00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:58.679
what it's just lovely. I didn't appreciate it at the time.

649
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:02.440
I didn't, you know. I wish I'd been a bit more.

650
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:08.079
I was sixteen, I get at the time, I was

651
00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:13.440
very immature from my age. I mean, I think I

652
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:16.840
hit puberty at about thirty two, you know, a very

653
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:22.320
very late developer. I said it lovely, Thanks Vinn, A

654
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:27.320
bit more noise please. He stops and listens to me

655
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:31.559
I know he's looking at me. If I look around,

656
00:52:33.639 --> 00:52:35.719
he's not only looking at me, he's staring at me.

657
00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:42.280
His tail's wagging, waggling, wiggling, waggling. Does your tam do

658
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:45.159
your tails do all kinds of weird things? Isn't it spinning?

659
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:55.480
Spinning around? So another pope, Pope Pious, had a personal

660
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:58.199
barber who was the only one allowed to cut his hair.

661
00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:06.159
So that was ninth. Oh, look at this, So I

662
00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:11.000
read a few of these out. Pope Paul the Ie

663
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:14.639
sixty three to seventy eight was the first pope to

664
00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:21.400
travel by plane. Pope Leo eighteen seventy eight to nineteen

665
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:24.400
oh three was the oldest pope living to the age

666
00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:30.480
of ninety three. Pope John Paul of First nineteen seventy

667
00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:35.800
eight had the shortest papacy of the twentieth century. Lasted

668
00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:45.440
only thirty three days. Uh dear did l dear? Pope

669
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:51.440
Leo I four forty to four sixty one, so it

670
00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:55.960
was only twenty one years old. He convinced Attila the

671
00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:59.159
Hunter turned back from invade in Italy and four point

672
00:53:59.159 --> 00:54:02.719
fifty two. It was a very young pope, wasn't he.

673
00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:17.639
Pope Gregory Pope Beneface nineteen twelve ninety four to thirteen

674
00:54:17.679 --> 00:54:21.079
O three declared the first jubilee year in thirteen hundred.

675
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:30.199
Pope Pius x IX eighteen forty six to eighteen seventy

676
00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:34.719
eight longest, serving for thirty one years. I mentioned it earlier,

677
00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:41.400
didn't I? John Pope the Second nineteen seventy eight to

678
00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:44.800
two thousand and five was the first non Italian pope

679
00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:51.880
in four hundred and fifty five years. Wasn't he German? Oh?

680
00:54:53.800 --> 00:55:01.920
I can't remember. Oh, Pope Julius Second fifteen oh three

681
00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:05.559
to fifteen thirteen. Oh, these are the years that there

682
00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:08.280
was pope, not the years he was around. I was

683
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:10.960
going to say that. Blow me now, So I was

684
00:55:11.039 --> 00:55:12.920
to think that bloke was like twenty three years old.

685
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:17.199
The other pope commissioned Michelangelo to paint the seedling of

686
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:29.199
the Sistine Chapel. Okay. Pope Sixtus I v fourteen seventy

687
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:33.840
one to fourteen and eighty four restored the Aqua Virgin Aqueduct,

688
00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:41.519
improving Rome's water supply. Pope Buyer Pius X one one

689
00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:46.239
or II thirty nine to fifty eight opened the Vatican

690
00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:52.320
Archives to scholars for the first time. Pope John Paul

691
00:55:53.400 --> 00:55:56.119
the Second nineteen seventy eight to two thousand and five.

692
00:55:56.519 --> 00:55:59.880
He visited one hundred and twenty nine countries during his papacy.

693
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:03.960
There was only one hundred and twenty three countries in

694
00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:07.320
the world, so that's not bad as a pope Francis.

695
00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:16.960
Pope Benedict x v I two thousand and five to

696
00:56:17.079 --> 00:56:22.920
twenty thirteen was the first pope to use Twitter. I

697
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:25.079
think he was one of the first popes to retire

698
00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:32.800
as well. I remember there's a big deal about that

699
00:56:33.079 --> 00:56:38.400
when he retired. Pope Paul v I was the first

700
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:43.679
pope to visit the Holy Land in modern times. Pope

701
00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:49.159
John x XIII nineteen fifty eight to sixty three sent

702
00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:54.920
a message to the moon Junior Pollo eleven mission. What

703
00:56:55.119 --> 00:57:02.000
kind of message? Pope Adrian First seven seventy two to

704
00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:05.920
seven ninety five, oldest pope at the time of his

705
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:15.199
election at aged eighty. Wow, Pope Urban v II, No,

706
00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:22.239
wait a minute. Pope Benedict x I X ten thirty

707
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:25.519
two to ten forty four, ten forty five, and then

708
00:57:26.039 --> 00:57:29.840
ten forty seven to ten forty eight. I don't know

709
00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:32.119
how I didn't realize you could be pope three times.

710
00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:37.199
That's that's I don't understand what that is. I'd have

711
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:39.480
to look into the into the reason for that. But

712
00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:44.719
I'm just not interested enough to be honest. But it's

713
00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:49.800
peque my interest mildly. He was the youngest pope, one

714
00:57:49.840 --> 00:57:57.599
of the youngest popes, possibly the youngest. Twelve. Pope John

715
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:01.480
x I I nine fifty five to nine sixty four

716
00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:08.079
elected poper around eighteen years old. So this now, they're generally,

717
00:58:08.599 --> 00:58:14.360
you know, fairly elderly. Wasn't what was the case. And

718
00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:16.280
he was a pope from nine to fifty five to

719
00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:22.920
nine sixty four, I mean, an eighteen year old. I

720
00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:29.400
just wonder what he got up to. This is Pope

721
00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:33.599
Martin IV twelve eighty one un to twelve eighty five

722
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:42.440
had a fondness for eels. Okay, Pope John the Second

723
00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:45.760
seventy eight to two thousand and five enjoyed a Polish

724
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:52.360
cream cake called cram wacka cramlca. Was he Polish? Wasn't German?

725
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:56.800
Wasn't he Polish? John Paul second, I'm just thinking, because

726
00:58:56.800 --> 00:58:59.920
if he enjoyed Polish cream cake, maybe he was Polish.

727
00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:04.960
But from the sounds of it, Kramalca. That sounds like

728
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:08.079
a really nice cake. So I don't think you know

729
00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:10.960
you'd need to be polish to enjoy it. I imagine

730
00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:15.440
i'd enjoy that cake myself. In fact, I've never wanted

731
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:17.239
to eat your cake as much as I do right now,

732
00:59:18.079 --> 00:59:22.480
And that's the only cake I ever want to eat. Cramalca. Oh,

733
00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:35.840
sounds lovely, Pope Benedict's it, says Pope Benedict. Pope Paul six,

734
00:59:36.559 --> 00:59:41.239
Pope Paul, Pope Paul the I nineteen sixty three to

735
00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:44.079
nineteen seventy eight preferred a light scotch and soda in

736
00:59:44.079 --> 00:59:56.079
the evenings. Wow, Pope Clement the I thirteen forty two

737
00:59:56.199 --> 01:00:01.840
to thirteen fifty two, this is interesting, enjoyed lavish meals,

738
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:04.960
but was the only one allowed to use a knife

739
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:12.400
at his table. Historical artistic endeavors let said, a look,

740
01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:17.039
Pope Innocent eight. Some of these names are pretty cool,

741
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:20.679
isn't they? So that he was the eighth Pope Innocent

742
01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:30.320
of fourteen eighty four to fourteen ninety two. That's a

743
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:34.800
long time ago, isn't it, fourteen fifteen sixty? I mean

744
01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:42.480
some of these like seven seven, how many years? When

745
01:00:42.599 --> 01:00:44.840
was the first pope, because it wasn't there one here

746
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:53.880
like seven four forty four forty, so it's four forty.

747
01:00:55.599 --> 01:00:59.840
I mean it's two outs. Just six hundred years ago,

748
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:06.199
is that right? Yeah? Six hundred years ago. Nearly six

749
01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:10.719
hundred years ago. BlimE me, that's a few lifetimes, isn't it.

750
01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:16.800
Pope Innocent eight eighteen forty eight to fourteen ninety two

751
01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:21.280
accepted a gift of chess men made of sugar from

752
01:01:21.639 --> 01:01:28.840
King Ferdinand of Spain and Pope Sixtus five fifteen eighty

753
01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:33.960
five to fifteen ninety once had really once had a

754
01:01:34.119 --> 01:01:37.760
fake mountain built in the Vatican gardens so he could

755
01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:44.280
climb it for exercise. Brilliant, that's just brilliant. You can't

756
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:51.320
knock that, and so I can't. That's just great. Yeah,

757
01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:55.400
if you can't get to the mountain, bring the mountain

758
01:01:55.480 --> 01:01:59.360
to you. There's an old saying, isn't it bring the

759
01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:04.320
mountainto the pope? If the pope can't get to the mountain.

760
01:02:07.599 --> 01:02:12.760
I haven't been to the Vatican, but I assume there's

761
01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:18.320
lots of stairs, lots of steps. But then I suppose

762
01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:21.239
if it's indoors, it's not the same as being outdoors,

763
01:02:21.320 --> 01:02:25.000
and you can't climb up a bigger loads of steps

764
01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:27.880
and feel like you've climbed a mountain, even though you

765
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:31.719
might have actually done the equivalent of that. So I

766
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:36.760
suppose having a mountain built in the garden was useful,

767
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:41.639
wasn't it. Oh that's something I would do. I like that,

768
01:02:49.280 --> 01:02:54.320
and so looks some historical highlights. Pope France is twenty

769
01:02:54.519 --> 01:02:58.000
thirteen to present used to take public buses in Buena

770
01:02:58.239 --> 01:03:03.159
Aris and still prefers modest living. Okay, this is the

771
01:03:03.239 --> 01:03:05.960
pope that has passed. Sorry it's saying to present. It's

772
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:10.760
not up to date. Here still prefers modest living quarters

773
01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:19.039
in the Vatican guesthouse. Pope John Paul second seventy eight

774
01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:22.239
to two thousand and five was the very first pope

775
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:32.159
to visit a synagogue, and Pope Benedict two thousand and

776
01:03:32.239 --> 01:03:36.840
five to twenty thirteen visited the Blue Mosque in Istanbul,

777
01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:46.320
fostering interfaith relations. Oh, I didn't know this. Pope Adrian

778
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:50.760
second eight sixty seven to eight seventy two was married

779
01:03:50.880 --> 01:03:53.920
before his election, and his wife and daughter lived with

780
01:03:54.039 --> 01:04:00.880
him in the Lateran Palace. They are like kings, aren't

781
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:07.079
they really the pope's almost like higher than kings, like

782
01:04:07.239 --> 01:04:13.679
the higher than royalty. Pope Benedict the ninth, Okay, that's

783
01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:19.400
already done that one. Pope John Is twenty second, which

784
01:04:19.559 --> 01:04:30.199
was thirteen sixteen to thirteen thirty four, once banned chess

785
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:34.400
from clergy, possibly because monks were gambling over it.

786
01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:35.880
Oh.

787
01:04:39.320 --> 01:04:44.199
Pope Adlexander the seventh sixteen fifty five to sixteen sixty

788
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:47.199
seven had a bed that could be folded up and

789
01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:50.760
hidden behind a curtain. It's good, though, because you never

790
01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:51.920
know when you need a nap.

791
01:04:54.239 --> 01:04:54.559
Pope.

792
01:04:59.199 --> 01:05:04.119
Pope in the the second sixteen seventy six to eighty nine,

793
01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:09.159
known for being extremely thrifty. He even reduced the Vatican's

794
01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:17.599
sugar allowance. And Pope Clement seven fifteen twenty three to

795
01:05:17.760 --> 01:05:23.119
thirty four had a personal astrologer and planned major events

796
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:27.199
according to the stars. I wonder if they knew at

797
01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:34.280
the time that he was doing that. And when is

798
01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:41.880
it going to be a female pope? That's just a question.

799
01:05:42.039 --> 01:05:43.559
I don't know. I don't know what the rules are

800
01:05:43.960 --> 01:05:46.320
when the rules are no female popes. I know because

801
01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:52.119
I looked at all the people that will be basically

802
01:05:52.320 --> 01:05:56.559
people will be voting for them all men. And there's

803
01:05:56.599 --> 01:05:59.840
never been, according to this, never been a female pope.

804
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:07.280
So I mean as a popees, I mean the one

805
01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:14.559
that was married was she He's I don't know, I

806
01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:24.719
don't know who knows all Pope Joan maybe there was. Oh,

807
01:06:25.159 --> 01:06:32.960
as I said that. Wow, Pope Joan legendary ninth century,

808
01:06:33.440 --> 01:06:37.719
so this might not be true. While likely a medieval legend,

809
01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:42.239
the tale of a woman who became pope disguised as

810
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:47.960
a man has intrigued storytellers for centuries. It still is

811
01:06:48.079 --> 01:06:49.679
intriguing people. It's intrigued me.

812
01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:50.000
Now.

813
01:06:51.519 --> 01:06:54.119
How ironic the fact that I was just talking about

814
01:06:56.719 --> 01:07:03.920
females not ever being a pope. Now that came up. Wow,

815
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:06.320
It's almost like I'm in sync with the screen in

816
01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:11.280
front of me. Maybe I just read it now, I didn't.

817
01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:21.599
I did read it, but not until afterwards. Pope Gregory

818
01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:26.840
nine twelve twenty seven to forty one had a papal

819
01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:32.519
PayPal papal bull that declared black cats were associated with satan.

820
01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:41.880
Oh that's good, Lisa, no superstition. Pope Nicholas the Fifth

821
01:07:42.239 --> 01:07:46.159
fourteen forty seven to fourteen fifty five loved books so

822
01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:56.960
much he began the Vatican Library. Wow. Pope Paul the

823
01:07:57.079 --> 01:08:01.239
Second fourteen sixty four to fourteen seventy one loved collecting

824
01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:20.000
classical statues and watermelons. Okay, right, there's a few. There's

825
01:08:20.039 --> 01:08:21.680
a few other bits in here that I won't read

826
01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:31.960
that just because it's not I kind of covered most

827
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:34.479
of the stuff on here. Actually, I thought there's more

828
01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:38.199
than that. I'm sure there was more. I went through

829
01:08:38.319 --> 01:08:53.640
quite a few earlier artistic endeavors, global influence, unique papal facts. Okay,

830
01:08:56.520 --> 01:09:06.800
global influence already kind of covered most of these artistic endeavors.

831
01:09:07.520 --> 01:09:18.119
Michelangelo one had done that. The viaduct, done that opening

832
01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:20.880
for the two scholars for the first time, done that one.

833
01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:30.680
Historical highlights. Pope Adrian I V was the only English

834
01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:37.039
pope born Nicholas Breakspear in Hertfordshire. Wow, I did not

835
01:09:37.239 --> 01:09:44.920
know that. Pope Clement V moved the papacy to Avignon, France,

836
01:09:45.560 --> 01:09:51.960
initiating the Avignon Papacy period. So the pope was in

837
01:09:52.079 --> 01:09:58.319
France for a while. Pope Pius v I I was

838
01:09:58.359 --> 01:10:01.720
imprisoned by Napoleon for ruper refuse him to anal his

839
01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:10.119
brother's marriage. Oh, I don't know about that. I don't

840
01:10:10.119 --> 01:10:18.199
know what that a knoll and also get sort of

841
01:10:18.439 --> 01:10:21.239
undo the marriage. I suppose that that that's what that means.

842
01:10:22.680 --> 01:10:24.199
Pope Leo x.

843
01:10:29.600 --> 01:10:29.880
H the.

844
01:10:31.840 --> 01:10:38.359
Pope Gregory x III introduced the Gregorian calendar in fifteen

845
01:10:38.399 --> 01:10:42.399
eighty two, which is still in use today. No idea

846
01:10:42.439 --> 01:10:50.800
what that means? Does that mean that the like January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, Noven, December,

847
01:10:53.079 --> 01:10:59.239
did what's the only name? What's the only first name

848
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:02.760
you can get out of if you go for the

849
01:11:02.920 --> 01:11:08.399
first letters of the calendar January, February, March, all the

850
01:11:08.399 --> 01:11:10.800
way down, So it's the only name that comes out

851
01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:15.199
of the calendar from January to December. If you look

852
01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:18.159
at the first letters, the only name that comes out

853
01:11:19.439 --> 01:11:31.960
shoul I touched, I spell out here. So you've got January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October,

854
01:11:32.359 --> 01:11:38.399
November Jason, the only name that is spelled with the

855
01:11:38.520 --> 01:11:54.760
first letters of the calendar. The only name Jason June, July, nothing, July, August, September, October, November,

856
01:11:54.800 --> 01:11:59.159
December Jason. But I don't think there's any name called Jason.

857
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:11.880
That might be January, February Duke and March April, May, March, April,

858
01:12:12.319 --> 01:12:23.760
mem that's not really your name, though, is it June? July? August, Yeah,

859
01:12:26.560 --> 01:12:33.800
November December, you know, so it's not October November, December.

860
01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:37.319
I mean, there might might be a name called odd

861
01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:43.439
Sond September, October, November, December, so there might be a

862
01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:50.560
name called Sond August. Maybe there is a name called Esson,

863
01:12:51.439 --> 01:12:54.039
but it's definitely not a name that I've heard of.

864
01:12:57.159 --> 01:13:00.720
Jason to the only one really, the only one any

865
01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:03.840
way that I've heard of. I mean, I you know,

866
01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:09.319
I have heard of that name. Jason, quite a good name.

867
01:13:09.359 --> 01:13:11.640
I don't know why more people don't call their kids Jason.

868
01:13:15.159 --> 01:13:20.239
Just seems like an opportunity missed. That's all I want.

869
01:13:20.279 --> 01:13:22.840
I don't want much for my listeners. I just want

870
01:13:22.880 --> 01:13:27.079
you to have babies and call your children Jason, regardless

871
01:13:27.119 --> 01:13:29.560
of their sex. Just call them Jason. Please, thank you.

872
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:34.960
Here's my daughter Jason. I don't care. Just just one person,

873
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:38.760
ONTs please call your kid Jason, and don't call it

874
01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:42.159
kid Jason because of some of you know, another reason

875
01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:45.880
and then pretend that you call it Jason for me.

876
01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:49.000
I want you to genuinely want to call your kid

877
01:13:49.119 --> 01:13:54.600
Jason because of me. Now, some would argue that's a

878
01:13:54.640 --> 01:14:07.119
bit egotistical, a bit naististic. You're probably right. Oh anyway,

879
01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:09.920
I think I've I mean, I know, I went off

880
01:14:10.239 --> 01:14:15.760
track a little bit. Pope's iner personal quirk quirks. Pope

881
01:14:15.840 --> 01:14:20.159
Leo X one one was the first Pope he filmed,

882
01:14:20.560 --> 01:14:24.000
appearing in a short silent movie in eighteen ninety six.

883
01:14:25.399 --> 01:14:34.399
I didn't know had movies back then. Pope Clement x

884
01:14:34.840 --> 01:14:39.439
I V was a skilled botanist and had a particular

885
01:14:39.640 --> 01:14:43.600
interest in the study of plants. Isn't that what a

886
01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:48.760
botanist is? Someone who studies plants? Or am I wrong?

887
01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:57.920
John Paul, Pope John Paul's second was an avid outsdoorman, outdoorman, outdoorsman,

888
01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:07.479
enjoying hiking. Pope Paul V I first pope to visit

889
01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:15.840
six continents, earning him the nickname the Pilgrim Pope. Pope

890
01:15:16.079 --> 01:15:20.800
Pius X one one had a passion for acting and

891
01:15:20.920 --> 01:15:31.279
performed in amateur dramatics before his ecclesiastical career. What Pope

892
01:15:31.359 --> 01:15:36.960
Francis Pope Francis is this our Pope Francis was a

893
01:15:37.079 --> 01:15:39.600
fan of the tango and even worked as a nightclub

894
01:15:39.680 --> 01:15:44.760
bouncer in his youth. Wow, I just don't see a pope.

895
01:15:44.800 --> 01:15:48.439
I think I bet he used to be a bouncer,

896
01:15:48.720 --> 01:15:50.279
but he used to be on the door of a nightclub.

897
01:15:50.760 --> 01:15:55.479
I've never never thought that, But then I think it's

898
01:15:56.560 --> 01:16:00.279
I think it's sometimes hard to even imagine someone used

899
01:16:00.359 --> 01:16:04.560
they used to be young, even though we've all we

900
01:16:04.720 --> 01:16:07.359
all were young with me, we were all little kids,

901
01:16:07.439 --> 01:16:20.560
once teenagers, young adults, middle aged. Pope Benedict's x V

902
01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:28.920
I was ac published penis pianist, often playing works by Mozart,

903
01:16:29.880 --> 01:16:43.479
his favorite composer. Wow, how cool culinary tales. I've already

904
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:52.479
kind of covered this, right, Global influence, artistic endeavors, historical highlights,

905
01:16:54.319 --> 01:16:58.359
popes and their personal quots are kind of I covered

906
01:16:58.520 --> 01:17:08.239
most of these or the yep, kind of all done.

907
01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:11.319
I've covered everything. I mean, I don't. I'm not saying

908
01:17:11.319 --> 01:17:14.520
I've covered every single thing about popes since the beginning

909
01:17:14.560 --> 01:17:18.279
of time. I haven't. Probably about ninety percent, but not

910
01:17:18.399 --> 01:17:22.760
all of it. So thank you for listening. I'm going

911
01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:29.880
to go now. Oh yes, it's half past eight, which

912
01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:33.680
means Big Brother will be on in about half an hour,

913
01:17:33.920 --> 01:17:36.520
less than half an hour. So what I'll do I

914
01:17:36.680 --> 01:17:41.720
probably will because it finishes at half ten. I'll probably

915
01:17:41.720 --> 01:17:46.680
go to bed then. So what I'll do is edit

916
01:17:46.800 --> 01:17:50.680
this process in the morning, so though it would be Wednesday,

917
01:17:50.720 --> 01:17:56.119
it will be early Wednesday, unless, of course, I decide

918
01:17:56.159 --> 01:17:59.880
to do it tonight. There's always a chance. You never know.

919
01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:04.119
I don't make I can't uch don't though I don't know.

920
01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:09.279
So thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to

921
01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:14.079
yourself because you do deserve to be happy. Be gentle

922
01:18:14.119 --> 01:18:21.279
with yourself, because you deserve to feel safe. Lots of love.

923
01:18:24.359 --> 01:18:39.079
Bye bye, bye bye. Relax in a more deep and

924
01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:50.279
meaningful way, Maybe in a way that can not just

925
01:18:50.640 --> 01:19:00.680
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time

926
01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:09.720
we spend together here, not just relaxed at the end

927
01:19:09.840 --> 01:19:14.239
of the recording when it's finished and you can enjoy

928
01:19:14.439 --> 01:19:31.800
that sense of comfort and peace, but also I think

929
01:19:31.880 --> 01:19:43.039
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation

930
01:19:45.439 --> 01:19:59.600
continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that

931
01:19:59.720 --> 01:20:08.800
you ca can still benefit from listening to my voice.

932
01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:23.319
Maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then

933
01:20:23.479 --> 01:20:31.399
by listening regularly, especially if you find like some people

934
01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:35.079
do and myself as well, I sometimes I find one

935
01:20:35.159 --> 01:20:45.479
particular recording that really resonates with me, and I just

936
01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:51.239
listen to it over and over again every morning, every evening.

937
01:20:58.920 --> 01:21:03.560
There was this record from We're going back to about

938
01:21:03.720 --> 01:21:08.680
nineteen ninety nine. It was it wasn't hypnosis, but it

939
01:21:08.800 --> 01:21:13.800
was a guided visualization, so it kind of was hypnosis, really,

940
01:21:16.319 --> 01:21:21.439
and I managed to find it again and it still

941
01:21:21.600 --> 01:21:27.000
has the same effect on me. And part of it

942
01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:42.039
was the person's voice relaxed me just felt so peaceful,

943
01:21:44.199 --> 01:21:50.600
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

944
01:21:50.760 --> 01:22:01.399
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even

945
01:22:02.199 --> 01:22:10.680
pressing the play button that since I've done that, pressed

946
01:22:10.720 --> 01:22:19.199
the play button. This was in the days of CD

947
01:22:19.439 --> 01:22:28.119
players press the play button. In fact, it might have

948
01:22:28.159 --> 01:22:32.479
even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on

949
01:22:32.560 --> 01:22:45.359
the bed and then even without necessarily listening to her

950
01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:58.520
words because I had them memorized. Really, it was as

951
01:22:58.560 --> 01:23:09.239
if my body knew exactly what to do, and the

952
01:23:09.439 --> 01:23:31.439
muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember

953
01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:45.600
my mind would slow down. Now now I was listening

954
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:52.279
to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,

955
01:23:55.000 --> 01:24:02.720
and long before I ever made any videos or audio

956
01:24:02.880 --> 01:24:07.439
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two

957
01:24:07.680 --> 01:24:25.600
thousand and six, I knew, I knew how helpful I

958
01:24:27.079 --> 01:24:37.319
found being able to just let go, to have that

959
01:24:37.720 --> 01:24:50.319
trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing that

960
01:24:50.439 --> 01:24:58.720
it's going to be just as relaxing, if not more so.

961
01:25:01.399 --> 01:25:08.359
Each time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

962
01:25:14.760 --> 01:25:21.760
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,

963
01:25:30.199 --> 01:25:34.199
maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

964
01:25:35.960 --> 01:25:42.479
but maybe people come back. Some people may be listen

965
01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:59.119
every day. That's something that I do which you may

966
01:25:59.279 --> 01:26:20.000
not realize. Yes, by listening is when I record these recordings. Now,

967
01:26:20.359 --> 01:26:32.840
for example, I also am affected by the words that

968
01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:44.479
I say. So if I said to you, focus on

969
01:26:44.600 --> 01:26:54.399
your feet, notice your feet relaxing, I will be focusing

970
01:26:54.520 --> 01:27:07.000
on my feet. I will be noticing my feet relaxing.

971
01:27:16.920 --> 01:27:23.119
If I said, focus on your hands, and maybe notice

972
01:27:23.279 --> 01:27:34.720
the difference between each hand, Perhaps notice the the air

973
01:27:35.199 --> 01:27:39.800
in the room, the temperature of the room, on the

974
01:27:39.960 --> 01:27:51.720
backs of your hands, you may start to notice what

975
01:27:51.880 --> 01:27:59.119
almost feels like a very light breeze, even though there

976
01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:05.039
may not be any type of breeze at all where

977
01:28:05.119 --> 01:28:17.319
you are right now. And as you become aware of

978
01:28:18.760 --> 01:28:32.079
your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed my hands

979
01:28:36.119 --> 01:28:58.399
our feeling now and when it comes to potentially drifting

980
01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:03.600
off to sleep, which may be the reason you're listening,

981
01:29:09.319 --> 01:29:23.880
I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings. I

982
01:29:24.119 --> 01:29:42.520
also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times I've

983
01:29:42.560 --> 01:29:56.960
actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I carry

984
01:29:57.039 --> 01:30:08.680
on talking. It's only when I listen back to do

985
01:30:08.880 --> 01:30:17.920
the editing I hear snoring and I think, I don't

986
01:30:17.960 --> 01:30:28.399
remember snoring. I remember talking. This snoring. It was a

987
01:30:28.520 --> 01:30:34.760
pig turned up. That's why I sound like when I

988
01:30:34.920 --> 01:30:53.560
snare and I get really into the whole experience. I

989
01:30:53.640 --> 01:31:03.079
don't know how you feel, how relaxed you feel in

990
01:31:03.159 --> 01:31:28.720
your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands. I

991
01:31:28.880 --> 01:31:43.079
have noticed more and more that the more relaxed, deeper

992
01:31:48.159 --> 01:31:58.439
level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.

993
01:32:05.039 --> 01:32:21.680
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows

994
01:32:21.760 --> 01:32:52.840
you the breve easier without necessarily focusing on your breath, however,

995
01:32:53.079 --> 01:33:21.840
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

996
01:33:22.079 --> 01:34:11.840
so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever

997
01:34:12.039 --> 01:34:30.359
I imagine my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed,

998
01:34:36.359 --> 01:34:49.239
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

999
01:34:49.520 --> 01:35:29.920
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice too,

1000
01:35:31.520 --> 01:35:50.479
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

1001
01:36:01.800 --> 01:36:34.319
enjoying that feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart.

1002
01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:25.159
Time name seems to just drip by so very slowly, relaxed,

1003
01:37:31.079 --> 01:38:10.199
so deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

1004
01:38:10.399 --> 01:39:14.760
this moment, completely free, notice that your mind has slowed down.

1005
01:39:23.079 --> 01:40:09.760
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

1006
01:40:10.039 --> 01:40:26.159
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip

1007
01:40:26.880 --> 01:40:40.359
out of your body, to appear out of every part

1008
01:40:46.680 --> 01:41:10.920
of your body, and being released from your brain, un

1009
01:41:11.239 --> 01:42:08.560
your mind slowly but surely, the muscle singlax, relax res

1010

1012
01:43:26.239 --> 01:44:07.159
of your body further and deeper and deeper. Noticine the

1013

in front of your body, I all say, feeling peaceful deeply,

1015
01:46:05.039 --> 01:46:15.319
there's a sense of peace spreads through your very core.

Rexed forty So relaxed, so relaxed. Your body feels almost invisible,

1042
02:11:57.319 --> 02:12:34.840
so very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so peaceful, real.

1043
02:12:41.800 --> 02:12:59.600
Liquam, so peaceful.

1044
02:13:17.760 --> 02:13:24.000
And you could start to notice that you are feeling

1045
02:13:24.399 --> 02:13:35.600
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind

1046
02:13:36.560 --> 02:13:44.119
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

1047
02:13:44.239 --> 02:13:53.359
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,

1048
02:13:58.319 --> 02:14:05.159
And that could be or most in recognition of I

1049
02:14:05.239 --> 02:14:17.640
guess my speech not being particularly fast, and things just

1050
02:14:17.960 --> 02:14:30.760
generally feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you

1051
02:14:30.920 --> 02:14:38.079
give yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

1052
02:14:40.239 --> 02:14:47.720
take a break from your life as it is and

1053
02:14:47.880 --> 02:14:55.600
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

1054
02:14:55.720 --> 02:15:01.279
some time off and to allow you body to relax

1055
02:15:03.000 --> 02:15:10.920
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

1056
02:15:13.520 --> 02:15:18.560
releases the tension and it stresses that you had in

1057
02:15:18.640 --> 02:15:28.439
your body. It's almost as if the parts of your

1058
02:15:28.520 --> 02:15:40.520
body just open up, allowing the negativity out and at

1059
02:15:40.560 --> 02:15:48.800
the same time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy,

1060
02:15:51.920 --> 02:15:56.520
which then fills your body up and your mind to

1061
02:15:58.159 --> 02:16:16.560
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an

1062
02:16:16.640 --> 02:16:33.719
almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through

1063
02:16:33.799 --> 02:16:44.440
your body like a wave of comfort. And all this

1064
02:16:44.799 --> 02:16:56.840
comes from just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half

1065
02:16:56.920 --> 02:17:00.719
an hour, however long you want it to be, to

1066
02:17:01.079 --> 02:17:14.879
just rest and allow your mind and your body to

1067
02:17:15.000 --> 02:17:31.600
almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

1068
02:17:35.920 --> 02:17:45.239
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness

1069
02:17:49.280 --> 02:17:58.120
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

1070
02:17:58.920 --> 02:18:03.520
as if your mind than your body are sinking together,

1071
02:18:07.760 --> 02:18:17.479
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness,

1072
02:18:22.520 --> 02:18:29.719
and it feels nice. It really does feel nice to

1073
02:18:29.959 --> 02:18:35.639
know that you are the one that has allowed yourself

1074
02:18:39.120 --> 02:18:51.280
to feel more comfort and to experience more of this

1075
02:18:53.120 --> 02:19:08.280
deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1076
02:19:09.840 --> 02:19:15.600
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1077
02:19:15.840 --> 02:19:30.319
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1078
02:19:30.319 --> 02:19:42.559
It becomes even more calm and comfortable. Just by focusing.

1079
02:19:46.600 --> 02:19:52.360
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1080
02:19:55.079 --> 02:20:00.319
the parts that you've already focused on will can you

1081
02:20:01.719 --> 02:20:08.799
to relax deeply and those parts that we've not yet

1082
02:20:09.000 --> 02:20:21.879
focused on or just automatically release any remain intension in

1083
02:20:22.040 --> 02:20:36.280
anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm

1084
02:20:36.319 --> 02:20:42.760
going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being

1085
02:20:42.920 --> 02:20:51.600
aware of the feelings of your forehead and any background

1086
02:20:51.840 --> 02:20:58.719
sounds like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you

1087
02:20:58.920 --> 02:21:06.360
to feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1088
02:21:09.520 --> 02:21:14.840
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1089
02:21:18.319 --> 02:21:24.360
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1090
02:21:24.879 --> 02:21:35.360
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1091
02:21:35.639 --> 02:21:43.399
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1092
02:21:45.719 --> 02:21:50.200
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1093
02:21:55.399 --> 02:22:03.680
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1094
02:22:06.159 --> 02:22:15.840
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1095
02:22:15.879 --> 02:22:22.360
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1096
02:22:22.600 --> 02:22:37.000
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1097
02:22:37.479 --> 02:22:44.120
your tongue, your teeth, and your gums, the whole of

1098
02:22:44.280 --> 02:22:59.040
your mouth relaxing, calm and loose, as you focus now

1099
02:22:59.799 --> 02:23:06.760
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw

1100
02:23:06.879 --> 02:23:11.319
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way

1101
02:23:11.399 --> 02:23:17.760
up the size of your face to your ears, that

1102
02:23:18.040 --> 02:23:29.399
hole of your jaw feeding more relaxed.

1103
02:23:32.879 --> 02:23:33.600
And calm.

1104
02:23:41.799 --> 02:23:50.879
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and

1105
02:23:51.000 --> 02:24:04.000
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The side of

1106
02:24:04.120 --> 02:24:09.399
your neck, the right and left side of your neck,

1107
02:24:12.319 --> 02:24:28.159
relax and loose and calm. And now the back of

1108
02:24:28.280 --> 02:24:41.120
your neck, focusing on the back of your neck, letting

1109
02:24:41.319 --> 02:24:45.959
go of any tension that may have been there before,

1110
02:24:47.760 --> 02:25:01.840
and enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that

1111
02:25:02.079 --> 02:25:12.520
you can experience in the back of your neck. Moving

1112
02:25:12.760 --> 02:25:19.319
down your back and moving either side of your spine

1113
02:25:20.639 --> 02:25:25.319
right from the top of your back all the way

1114
02:25:25.559 --> 02:25:38.239
down to the bottom of your back, down to your

1115
02:25:38.319 --> 02:25:48.879
lower back, and as you move up and down your spine.

1116
02:25:51.000 --> 02:25:55.440
You can feel the muscles either side of your spine

1117
02:25:57.639 --> 02:26:12.200
relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense

1118
02:26:12.319 --> 02:26:22.799
of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into

1119
02:26:23.000 --> 02:26:29.639
both sides of your back, the top of your back,

1120
02:26:30.479 --> 02:26:36.719
the middle, and your lower back. And as you scan

1121
02:26:38.440 --> 02:26:46.280
gently and slowly up and down your back, there's the

1122
02:26:46.399 --> 02:26:52.239
muscles in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1123
02:26:56.600 --> 02:27:02.600
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1124
02:27:02.719 --> 02:27:12.239
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,

1125
02:27:18.000 --> 02:27:23.959
And in your lower back it seems to be an

1126
02:27:24.040 --> 02:27:38.239
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips,

1127
02:27:40.520 --> 02:27:48.360
so down your lower back, into your hips, into the

1128
02:27:48.559 --> 02:27:57.319
area where your cosix are, and into your buttocks, and

1129
02:27:57.399 --> 02:28:03.879
all those muscles that spread it bring your lower back

1130
02:28:06.360 --> 02:28:18.600
into your hip area, start to melt, start to really

1131
02:28:19.799 --> 02:28:30.440
let go. I don't even know where about. To focus

1132
02:28:30.600 --> 02:28:37.680
on your shoulders. Your back and your spine will continue

1133
02:28:39.799 --> 02:28:58.280
to let go, continue to relax so calmly. And as

1134
02:28:58.319 --> 02:29:03.600
you focus on your shoulders, you may notice that they're

1135
02:29:03.840 --> 02:29:34.159
already feeling really loose. They're already feeding calm, and they're

1136
02:29:34.399 --> 02:29:47.319
feeling those muscles the move from your neck into your shoulders.

1137
02:29:53.879 --> 02:30:23.280
Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and

1138
02:30:23.479 --> 02:30:36.319
the feeding in your shoulders seens to spread deep into

1139
02:30:36.399 --> 02:30:46.799
your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1140
02:30:47.239 --> 02:31:04.200
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

1141
02:31:04.319 --> 02:31:12.559
all the way to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole

1142
02:31:12.760 --> 02:31:17.760
area between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your

1143
02:31:17.959 --> 02:31:37.719
arms healing. You feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders.

1144
02:31:41.239 --> 02:32:03.399
Who sends that deep healing message into your arms and

1145
02:32:03.600 --> 02:32:08.600
you may feel almost as if your arms are not

1146
02:32:08.760 --> 02:32:27.440
even there, because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so

1147
02:32:31.680 --> 02:33:08.239
so calm, so loose, not feeling spreading all the way

1148
02:33:08.479 --> 02:33:33.159
down your arms, two elbows, including your elbows circumforts spreads

1149
02:33:38.200 --> 02:33:54.799
or away into wrists, your forearments and your wrists feeling

1150
02:33:55.520 --> 02:34:15.799
so heavy. It's at the same time sunlight and gentle.

1151
02:34:40.520 --> 02:35:21.319
Focus Now on your hands, my hands, so peaceful in

1152
02:35:21.559 --> 02:35:59.719
your hands. There's a sense real peace. It just seems

1153
02:35:59.760 --> 02:36:13.440
to Yeah, I feel so familiar when your hands relax

1154
02:36:14.719 --> 02:37:17.239
deeply mhm feels your thing is h you things.

1155
02:37:19.840 --> 02:37:20.159
Slid.

1156
02:37:49.840 --> 02:38:23.319
You think it's hips moving your attention to the front

1157
02:38:23.479 --> 02:38:54.280
of your body, so comfortable, moving your focus to your legs,

1158
02:40:13.079 --> 02:40:40.360
A lot muscles in your thighs, your knees, so relaxed,

1159
02:41:07.639 --> 02:43:15.920
a carved mussels and just shins co puzzyly four and

1160
02:43:16.120 --> 02:43:37.399

1162
02:44:39.280 --> 02:44:46.680
sin peace fall.

1163
02:44:49.959 --> 02:44:51.360
S come.

1164
02:44:59.040 --> 02:45:06.639
Love that relaxation. Just spread your chest and your stomach,

1165
02:45:19.719 --> 02:45:20.680
letting go.

1166
02:45:24.840 --> 02:45:25.479
Everything.

1167
02:45:36.760 --> 02:45:42.760
So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down

1168
02:45:42.840 --> 02:45:50.920
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

1169
02:45:51.719 --> 02:45:58.200
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

1170
02:45:58.280 --> 02:46:07.360
and each step represents a level of comfort. Each step

1171
02:46:07.920 --> 02:46:23.440
represents a deepening of that comfort, and the fervies you

1172
02:46:23.600 --> 02:46:29.639
walk down those steps, the deeper and more relaxed you feel.

1173
02:46:36.360 --> 02:49:11.200
So starting with number twenty twenty nineteen, eighteen seventeen sicksting

1174
02:50:26.760 --> 02:57:35.799
eight fourteen four two too well five eight nine hey

1175
02:57:36.360 --> 03:01:29.120
seven tho five.

1176
03:02:47.799 --> 03:07:16.639
Four fo one hm. And now.

1177
03:07:21.040 --> 03:07:33.319
As you focus on your eyes, We're going to count

1178
03:07:33.440 --> 03:07:45.239
down from ten dout to one, focusing just on your eyes,

1179
03:07:48.959 --> 03:07:57.479
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1180
03:07:59.000 --> 03:08:16.000
our whole way that makes up your eye. And as

1181
03:08:16.120 --> 03:08:24.639
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focusing

1182
03:08:24.920 --> 03:08:40.280
on your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed with each

1183
03:08:40.719 --> 03:08:53.159
number counting down that you may find the all you

1184
03:08:53.440 --> 03:09:02.280
want to do is just drift off to sleep. And

1185
03:09:02.440 --> 03:09:09.000
if that's what you want, then just allow yourself to

1186
03:09:09.159 --> 03:09:23.600
do that. Now focus in on your eyes. I'm going

1187
03:09:23.719 --> 03:09:33.680
to begin counting down from ten down to one right now.

1188
03:09:42.280 --> 03:13:41.719
Ten nine eight seven four five.

1189
03:14:52.239 --> 03:17:10.840
Four one.

1190
03:17:11.799 --> 03:18:56.799
Two one. So count and down from ten to one

1191
03:18:58.879 --> 03:19:23.159
ten nine eight seven six five four three two one.

1192
03:19:30.200 --> 03:19:33.079
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1193
03:19:33.159 --> 03:19:37.079
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1194
03:19:37.399 --> 03:19:47.079
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1195
03:19:47.159 --> 03:19:51.000
little bit of pressure there, Like you're counting down from

1196
03:19:51.079 --> 03:19:53.719
ten to one. Would you expect me to do man,

1197
03:19:54.680 --> 03:19:59.239
expect me to stick gold floppy just because you're counting down.

1198
03:20:04.799 --> 03:20:08.920
We can try again, but this time I go this lower.

1199
03:20:11.120 --> 03:20:16.000
This time, as you focus on the whole of your

1200
03:20:16.040 --> 03:20:24.399
body before we focus on your legs, just notice how

1201
03:20:24.520 --> 03:20:38.600
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every

1202
03:20:38.760 --> 03:21:20.520
number that I count down ten nine, eight seven, six, five,

1203
03:21:30.959 --> 03:21:52.760
four three two.

1204
03:22:13.559 --> 03:22:13.799
One.

1205
03:22:25.159 --> 03:22:30.840
And just notice how how you feel generally, how your

1206
03:22:30.879 --> 03:22:45.719
body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting down from

1207
03:22:45.840 --> 03:22:53.479
ten to one. It's that space that you have, that

1208
03:22:56.120 --> 03:23:17.000
space between being active physically or mentally to just sitting

1209
03:23:17.280 --> 03:23:21.840
or lying down and just being there, not doing anything,

1210
03:23:22.040 --> 03:23:28.639
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So

1211
03:23:29.360 --> 03:23:32.360
that opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1212
03:23:32.399 --> 03:23:43.399
a space, a gap. And the more I came down

1213
03:23:43.440 --> 03:23:50.840
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1214
03:23:50.959 --> 03:24:03.360
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

1215
03:24:03.520 --> 03:24:17.559
nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically

1216
03:24:17.719 --> 03:24:29.840
or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you.

1217
03:24:32.559 --> 03:24:33.079
To just.

1218
03:24:36.079 --> 03:24:42.799
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

1219
03:24:43.200 --> 03:24:53.440
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1220
03:24:53.520 --> 03:24:59.559
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

1221
03:24:59.639 --> 03:25:17.479
gap and gives you that distance, that space.

1222
03:25:19.879 --> 03:25:25.360
Now ten.

1223
03:25:29.680 --> 03:27:26.680
Nine eight, seven, six, five four three two one. How

1224
03:27:26.760 --> 03:27:47.799
does your body feel now? Can you notice do you

1225
03:27:48.000 --> 03:28:25.280
feeling calmer, the feeling more relaxed. As we now focus

1226
03:28:25.399 --> 03:28:46.040
on your legs, just your legs. We're just gonna start

1227
03:28:46.200 --> 03:29:05.239
with focusing on your thighs. Of course, it's not the

1228
03:29:05.360 --> 03:29:13.840
most exciting thing to be doing, because I'm sure, like

1229
03:29:14.000 --> 03:29:16.520
most of your body, is not a lot going on

1230
03:29:16.719 --> 03:29:29.120
right now. Just focusing on the whole of your thighs,

1231
03:29:31.959 --> 03:29:35.680
the tops of your thighs, the sides of your thighs,

1232
03:29:37.879 --> 03:29:42.360
the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs, and your

1233
03:29:42.479 --> 03:29:47.680
inner thighs, basically the whole of your thigh that leads

1234
03:29:48.760 --> 03:30:04.280
into your hip and it goes down to your knee joints. Now,

1235
03:30:04.360 --> 03:30:11.360
this is a big area. It's a very heavy area,

1236
03:30:11.879 --> 03:30:17.840
it's very strong. Probably the strongest muscles in your body

1237
03:30:18.479 --> 03:30:32.840
are in your thighs. But I don't think we perhaps

1238
03:30:34.879 --> 03:30:47.559
give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge

1239
03:30:48.239 --> 03:31:07.639
how important our thighs are to our lives, how much

1240
03:31:10.280 --> 03:31:23.760
they actually do for us all through our lives. And

1241
03:31:23.879 --> 03:31:29.600
it may seem to sound really weird, but I think

1242
03:31:29.680 --> 03:31:36.600
that all of our body parts, especially our thighs, need

1243
03:31:36.799 --> 03:31:51.239
some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement.

1244
03:31:53.719 --> 03:32:03.040
I thank you gratitude for what our thighs do for us.

1245
03:32:09.600 --> 03:32:15.639
And I know this may sound is strange. Maybe you think,

1246
03:32:16.040 --> 03:32:18.399
why am I sure that I should be out in

1247
03:32:18.959 --> 03:32:27.479
the garden hugging a tree or something. Well, it's hard

1248
03:32:27.559 --> 03:32:30.680
to set a microphone up on a tree. That's why

1249
03:32:30.719 --> 03:32:33.399
I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be outside hugging

1250
03:32:33.440 --> 03:32:36.920
a tree. Now I can't see the television from the tree.

1251
03:32:43.600 --> 03:32:47.879
If you move down to your knees gaining such an

1252
03:32:47.959 --> 03:32:57.639
important part, and I think we don't necessarily I'll speak

1253
03:32:57.719 --> 03:33:05.040
for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all that my

1254
03:33:05.200 --> 03:33:10.399
knees do for me until I have a problem with

1255
03:33:10.520 --> 03:33:15.639
my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever maybe i'll bash it,

1256
03:33:15.959 --> 03:33:21.799
or it's aching for some reason. It's then that I

1257
03:33:22.000 --> 03:33:27.440
realize how much it does. You know, the benefit of

1258
03:33:27.559 --> 03:33:35.000
being able to use my legs without any kind of

1259
03:33:35.159 --> 03:33:43.520
physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated

1260
03:33:43.639 --> 03:33:54.680
until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort. But as

1261
03:33:54.719 --> 03:33:59.959
you focus on your knees, regardless of how your knees feel,

1262
03:34:00.159 --> 03:34:08.680
or you can have that sense of gratitude and love

1263
03:34:08.879 --> 03:34:11.120
to your knees for all that they do for you,

1264
03:34:21.600 --> 03:34:24.719
and you can still have that attention on your thighs

1265
03:34:25.360 --> 03:34:31.399
and maybe notice how your thighs feel maybe you've noticed

1266
03:34:31.680 --> 03:34:48.879
that they are relaxing more deeply as you focus now

1267
03:34:50.760 --> 03:34:54.479
on the bottoms of your legs, your shins, and your

1268
03:34:54.559 --> 03:35:00.959
calf muscles and the bones between your knees and your

1269
03:35:01.000 --> 03:35:14.000
feet incorporat and of course your ankles so important. You know,

1270
03:35:14.079 --> 03:35:18.840
anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain of an

1271
03:35:18.879 --> 03:35:27.000
ankle knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

1272
03:35:32.920 --> 03:35:34.879
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

1273
03:35:35.000 --> 03:35:40.600
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

1274
03:35:40.760 --> 03:35:45.559
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1275
03:35:45.680 --> 03:35:49.559
it doesn't can't see any problem with that because we're

1276
03:35:49.639 --> 03:35:56.079
just picking stuff up. But our ankles so much thinner

1277
03:35:57.319 --> 03:36:05.920
than the rest of our legs, and from a physics

1278
03:36:05.959 --> 03:36:11.680
perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense that

1279
03:36:11.879 --> 03:36:19.600
all this weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles

1280
03:36:20.719 --> 03:36:34.120
then leading to your feet, that thin area, a thin bone. Yeah,

1281
03:36:34.200 --> 03:36:39.879
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1282
03:36:40.000 --> 03:36:51.879
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps you

1283
03:36:52.040 --> 03:37:05.319
to get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1284
03:37:05.360 --> 03:37:13.000
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1285
03:37:13.079 --> 03:37:18.120
point in calf muscles, I didn't seem to do anything. Okay,

1286
03:37:19.239 --> 03:37:22.799
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles

1287
03:37:22.840 --> 03:37:26.360
get some work. But of course that's not true. The

1288
03:37:26.479 --> 03:37:30.879
calf muscles are being used whenever we use her legs

1289
03:37:36.479 --> 03:37:49.079
and your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped

1290
03:37:49.159 --> 03:37:53.840
in a way, almost as a protector for the bone,

1291
03:38:01.440 --> 03:38:13.319
leading of course to your ankles and your feet. But

1292
03:38:13.440 --> 03:38:15.360
we're not going to focus on your feet. We're just

1293
03:38:15.440 --> 03:38:21.559
going to focus on the legs. And I realize that

1294
03:38:21.719 --> 03:38:25.719
now that I've mentioned your feet, it probably focuses on

1295
03:38:25.879 --> 03:38:29.079
them anyway, So maybe I should focus on your feet

1296
03:38:29.120 --> 03:38:35.200
a little bit. You can have them in your awareness

1297
03:38:37.399 --> 03:38:41.079
the same as you have your thighs in your awareness.

1298
03:38:41.920 --> 03:38:45.799
Even though we haven't been focusing on your thighs for

1299
03:38:45.799 --> 03:38:56.799
a few minutes, we've been focusing on your ankles, there's

1300
03:38:56.840 --> 03:39:11.959
still that sensation of comfort in your thighs in this

1301
03:39:12.159 --> 03:39:21.360
that movement of energy, because the thighs hold lots of

1302
03:39:21.440 --> 03:39:27.680
different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles, the big straw

1303
03:39:27.840 --> 03:39:39.840
muscles that we have in our thighs, but the skin

1304
03:39:41.799 --> 03:39:46.239
on the outside of the thighs, as in the outside

1305
03:39:46.280 --> 03:39:55.680
of all of our body can be very sensitive, sensitive

1306
03:39:55.840 --> 03:40:12.000
to the touch, sensitive temperature. And inside your thighs the bones,

1307
03:40:12.360 --> 03:40:16.840
there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels, the arch trees,

1308
03:40:18.319 --> 03:40:26.319
it's all this stuff. It's inside your thighs, and I

1309
03:40:26.399 --> 03:40:29.879
guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could actually put

1310
03:40:29.920 --> 03:40:37.239
your fingers inside your thighs and a message, so you

1311
03:40:37.319 --> 03:40:40.840
can message on the outside, of course, but to be

1312
03:40:40.879 --> 03:40:44.040
able to get deep into the muscles, and to be

1313
03:40:44.120 --> 03:40:49.239
able to just message inside your thighs, message in the

1314
03:40:49.360 --> 03:40:58.040
bones of your leg message in all the veins, and

1315
03:40:58.280 --> 03:41:08.719
just gently healing your thighs, and you could move down

1316
03:41:10.760 --> 03:41:16.840
messaging inside your knees. Just message in those bones, but

1317
03:41:17.000 --> 03:41:24.000
with healing fingertips spreading that healing energy deep into the

1318
03:41:24.200 --> 03:41:33.680
joints of your knees. Of course, there's the back of

1319
03:41:33.799 --> 03:41:38.719
your your knee, you know, the inside crease where your

1320
03:41:38.799 --> 03:41:46.360
knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Very it feels

1321
03:41:46.479 --> 03:41:50.479
very nice when you stroke it. That might be because

1322
03:41:51.319 --> 03:41:56.280
it's an area that's not really touched very often. It's

1323
03:41:56.440 --> 03:42:03.200
almost like a hidden part that in your legs. It's

1324
03:42:03.280 --> 03:42:10.520
almost like a part that has a sensitivity which is

1325
03:42:10.559 --> 03:42:21.520
a little bit different. Of course, it's protected by your legs.

1326
03:42:28.879 --> 03:42:33.159
So you can imagine putting your fingers into that crease

1327
03:42:34.000 --> 03:42:42.920
in your legs, that fold in between your legs. You

1328
03:42:43.000 --> 03:42:48.719
can just message with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips going inside,

1329
03:42:50.440 --> 03:42:58.959
massage in the muscle tissue. You can of course feel

1330
03:42:59.040 --> 03:43:12.760
the bones of your knees healing through your fingertips. And

1331
03:43:12.840 --> 03:43:18.520
then as you go down to your calf muscles. Now

1332
03:43:18.600 --> 03:43:21.280
that's the part I'd like to be able to really

1333
03:43:22.159 --> 03:43:28.440
put my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, massage in

1334
03:43:28.879 --> 03:43:43.479
every single tissue of that muscle, healing every part, and

1335
03:43:43.559 --> 03:43:49.719
then doing the same for my shins, massage in and

1336
03:43:50.399 --> 03:43:57.399
gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a

1337
03:43:57.520 --> 03:44:04.639
loving way, because they deserve to be treated as the

1338
03:44:04.799 --> 03:44:08.719
precious bones that they are, because our legs are so

1339
03:44:08.920 --> 03:44:12.440
precious as in all the other parts of our body,

1340
03:44:14.959 --> 03:44:28.920
and more precious than anyture on the planet. When you

1341
03:44:29.159 --> 03:44:41.319
start to think about your legs in this way, it

1342
03:44:41.399 --> 03:44:51.040
can change your perspective. It might sound a bit a

1343
03:44:51.159 --> 03:44:56.440
bit silly to start with the idea of having love

1344
03:44:56.959 --> 03:45:06.360
for your legs, showing appreciate for your thighs, wanting to

1345
03:45:06.399 --> 03:45:13.040
be able to put your hands in your thighs, massage

1346
03:45:13.879 --> 03:45:19.399
the muscles and the bones, and to get your fingers

1347
03:45:19.719 --> 03:45:29.479
deep in there, releasing all tension. Just to show how

1348
03:45:29.639 --> 03:45:37.040
much you care about your legs, how much you care

1349
03:45:37.360 --> 03:45:45.360
for what your legs do for you regularly, your knees,

1350
03:45:45.639 --> 03:45:58.479
your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering

1351
03:45:58.680 --> 03:46:03.159
how they are compared to the rest of your legs,

1352
03:46:03.319 --> 03:46:17.000
especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely

1353
03:46:17.280 --> 03:46:29.079
amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because of

1354
03:46:29.159 --> 03:46:40.440
what they do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless

1355
03:46:40.479 --> 03:46:44.479
of how what weight you are, even if you only

1356
03:46:44.920 --> 03:46:49.639
ate stone, there's still a lot of weight for these

1357
03:46:50.079 --> 03:46:56.559
little ankles. Now, I'm a lot heavier than eight stone

1358
03:46:58.200 --> 03:47:06.879
double dot mhm, Yet my ankles support my body all

1359
03:47:06.959 --> 03:47:13.360
the time, or they do give off a sigh of

1360
03:47:13.520 --> 03:47:19.200
relief when I sit down, have my whole legs do

1361
03:47:22.879 --> 03:47:29.719
my feet feet also go and my toes clap. They're

1362
03:47:29.760 --> 03:47:58.200
so happy. Your legs really are amazing. And I know

1363
03:47:58.639 --> 03:48:05.040
they're talking about. Talking about your legs is probably possibly

1364
03:48:05.280 --> 03:48:11.360
among the most most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly,

1365
03:48:14.239 --> 03:48:20.920
but boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your

1366
03:48:21.079 --> 03:48:41.600
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, they

1367
03:48:41.719 --> 03:48:54.280
deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time

1368
03:48:54.399 --> 03:49:18.040
out of the day to just let go completely. The

1369
03:49:18.239 --> 03:49:36.040
legs really can relax. And because the legs are so

1370
03:49:37.120 --> 03:49:41.879
such a most, you know, very important part of your body.

1371
03:49:43.159 --> 03:49:45.760
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body

1372
03:49:46.440 --> 03:50:05.200
also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can

1373
03:50:05.319 --> 03:50:10.239
feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,

1374
03:50:13.559 --> 03:50:18.120
and also my lwer back as well. My lower back

1375
03:50:18.360 --> 03:50:23.879
really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting

1376
03:50:23.959 --> 03:50:29.959
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as

1377
03:50:30.000 --> 03:50:33.000
I'm aware that I'm doing. But it's almost as if

1378
03:50:33.040 --> 03:50:36.920
the muscles are just relaxed so much that there is

1379
03:50:37.079 --> 03:50:45.559
a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.

1380
03:51:01.920 --> 03:51:05.079
And I'm now going to count down from ten downs

1381
03:51:05.079 --> 03:51:16.399
to one, and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed

1382
03:51:20.200 --> 03:52:03.319
ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three two one relax.

1383
03:52:11.200 --> 03:52:15.040
So I'm just going to count down from five down

1384
03:52:15.079 --> 03:52:19.520
to one. And as a countdown, if you just focus

1385
03:52:19.639 --> 03:52:27.559
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down and notice

1386
03:52:28.479 --> 03:52:30.879
how you feel.

1387
03:52:33.159 --> 03:52:34.280
In this moment.

1388
03:52:35.760 --> 03:52:40.159
As you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those

1389
03:52:40.319 --> 03:52:53.399
numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer, not just in

1390
03:52:53.479 --> 03:53:01.840
your body, but also relaxing your mind. I just notice

1391
03:53:01.879 --> 03:53:07.920
how you feel. There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say,

1392
03:53:08.600 --> 03:53:46.399
there's nothing to think about starting with number five, four, three, two.

1393
03:53:52.200 --> 03:53:52.440
One.

1394
03:54:01.920 --> 03:54:13.719
And as you notice the gradual letting go that the

1395
03:54:13.920 --> 03:54:21.520
tension in your body, you may also begin to notice

1396
03:54:21.639 --> 03:54:28.879
and be aware of how your mind is starting to

1397
03:54:30.200 --> 03:54:36.799
slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1398
03:54:39.399 --> 03:54:44.600
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1399
03:54:44.680 --> 03:54:50.559
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax.

1400
03:54:52.159 --> 03:54:55.840
And the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1401
03:54:55.959 --> 03:55:06.440
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that

1402
03:55:07.760 --> 03:55:15.600
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

1403
03:55:15.639 --> 03:55:22.600
if there's background sounds either your side, online, it's still

1404
03:55:23.120 --> 03:55:28.399
going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got

1405
03:55:28.440 --> 03:55:33.600
the television on, there's no music in the background, unless

1406
03:55:33.600 --> 03:55:41.040
you're listening to the recording with music, of course, you're

1407
03:55:41.200 --> 03:55:43.319
very likely not going to be sitting in a room

1408
03:55:43.399 --> 03:55:47.959
with other people. Of course you might be, but generally

1409
03:55:48.159 --> 03:55:51.239
it's more ideal if you can do this on your own,

1410
03:55:52.959 --> 03:56:03.000
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1411
03:56:09.600 --> 03:56:19.879
relaxation automatically rises, a sense of comfort starts to grow,

1412
03:56:24.399 --> 03:56:31.079
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1413
03:56:31.479 --> 03:56:43.239
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1414
03:56:43.360 --> 03:56:54.360
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost the sense

1415
03:56:54.440 --> 03:57:01.280
of relaxing completely happens really when you put no effort

1416
03:57:01.600 --> 03:57:05.479
into it. It's not something that you can really force.

1417
03:57:08.120 --> 03:57:17.479
It's something that happens naturally. And part of the process

1418
03:57:17.879 --> 03:57:29.079
of this recording and others is simply two allow you

1419
03:57:31.479 --> 03:57:42.319
to take advantage of this space, this time, to just

1420
03:57:46.520 --> 03:57:54.079
let go, to just be here, to be in tune

1421
03:57:57.760 --> 03:58:09.879
with how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting

1422
03:58:10.159 --> 03:58:22.239
to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending

1423
03:58:22.520 --> 03:58:28.719
on what it is that you wish for yourself in

1424
03:58:28.840 --> 03:58:45.000
this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority of

1425
03:58:45.120 --> 03:58:49.719
the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part

1426
03:58:49.959 --> 03:58:58.159
is a tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed

1427
03:58:58.440 --> 03:59:20.000
do you become, the easier you find yourself drifting, you

1428
03:59:20.120 --> 03:59:27.120
can also if you choose stay focused on my voice

1429
03:59:28.920 --> 04:00:00.360
and really enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle in

1430
04:00:00.520 --> 04:00:27.799
your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting

1431
04:00:28.000 --> 04:00:43.600
go completely. This time, I'm going to count from six

1432
04:00:44.639 --> 04:00:53.799
down to one, and you can notice your mind.

1433
04:00:56.120 --> 04:00:58.000
Calming down more.

1434
04:00:59.280 --> 04:01:09.520
We've eaten sh number that you hear me say naturally,

1435
04:01:10.600 --> 04:03:52.079
feeling calm and slow and peaceful, six, five, four, three, two, one,

1436
04:04:13.239 --> 04:04:22.840
being aware of how your mind has slowed right down,

1437
04:04:26.079 --> 04:04:49.479
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1438
04:04:49.760 --> 04:04:59.719
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,

1439
04:05:02.319 --> 04:05:11.840
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

1440
04:05:11.920 --> 04:05:27.120
your attention. That's what you can do is send love

1441
04:05:27.360 --> 04:05:41.000
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love. Might all

1442
04:05:41.159 --> 04:05:46.799
petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals

1443
04:05:46.840 --> 04:05:54.079
filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts

1444
04:05:54.280 --> 04:06:01.079
know that you're not abandoned in them. You just need them.

1445
04:06:02.319 --> 04:06:14.319
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet down.

1446
04:06:17.920 --> 04:06:18.319
For now.

1447
04:06:26.239 --> 04:06:31.239
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts, as we

1448
04:06:31.399 --> 04:06:36.639
count down this time from seven down to one. With

1449
04:06:36.799 --> 04:06:50.680
each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

1450
04:06:52.280 --> 04:07:04.120
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1451
04:07:05.559 --> 04:07:20.559
melt away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts

1452
04:07:20.719 --> 04:09:47.360
will become more and more relaxed, starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, one.

1453
04:10:04.040 --> 04:10:20.959
And as you now notice how relaxed your feeling in

1454
04:10:21.159 --> 04:10:42.680
your body, we're going to focus on your hands, because

1455
04:10:42.840 --> 04:10:49.040
the more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your

1456
04:10:49.159 --> 04:10:51.360
body and mind are.

1457
04:11:06.280 --> 04:11:06.680
And there.

1458
04:11:08.440 --> 04:11:18.600
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing

1459
04:11:19.120 --> 04:11:23.840
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or

1460
04:11:24.920 --> 04:11:35.200
tents in the fingers or anything like that. It's just

1461
04:11:35.680 --> 04:11:49.719
noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

1462
04:12:04.399 --> 04:12:14.840
Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the calmer your

1463
04:12:15.079 --> 04:12:26.959
mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout your body.

1464
04:12:32.159 --> 04:12:33.000
And you.

1465
04:12:35.680 --> 04:13:07.000
May have already noticed you mind is starting to dress

1466
04:13:20.760 --> 04:13:36.159
faince just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to

1467
04:13:38.639 --> 04:13:50.120
experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands

1468
04:13:50.239 --> 04:14:16.280
and fingers more and more relaxed. With each number from

1469
04:14:16.479 --> 04:14:29.799
eight down to one, you can almost feel that healing

1470
04:14:31.280 --> 04:14:43.159
and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers becoming

1471
04:14:47.680 --> 04:15:00.440
year more relaxing. With each number you hear yah.

1472
04:15:03.639 --> 04:15:04.680
Going down.

1473
04:15:06.040 --> 04:15:18.360
From eight down to one, to drift in, to drifting

1474
04:15:18.479 --> 04:18:35.440
again starting with number eighth seven, six, five, four, three, two,

1475
04:19:24.440 --> 04:19:33.760
Just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1476
04:19:35.360 --> 04:19:49.319
nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer. And this

1477
04:19:49.600 --> 04:19:57.200
is your natural state of being. This is how you

1478
04:19:57.479 --> 04:20:04.399
just normally feel when you take away all that other

1479
04:20:04.799 --> 04:20:11.719
stuff that we add, you know, things like stress and

1480
04:20:11.959 --> 04:20:28.120
worrying and overthinking and anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff.

1481
04:20:30.120 --> 04:20:33.440
When you take that away, which is what we do

1482
04:20:34.200 --> 04:20:46.079
what we do now, you're left with a real sense

1483
04:20:46.719 --> 04:20:59.239
of peacefulness which comes to you very quickly because ultimately

1484
04:20:59.799 --> 04:21:13.479
it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort. It's almost

1485
04:21:13.639 --> 04:21:17.239
as if you've gone inside yourself and you've found a

1486
04:21:17.440 --> 04:21:31.360
special place where everything is peaceful, a place where you

1487
04:21:31.559 --> 04:21:42.079
can feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort, a

1488
04:21:42.200 --> 04:21:50.719
place where you can be you, where you can accept

1489
04:21:50.840 --> 04:21:56.879
yourself for who you are, a place where you're not

1490
04:21:57.079 --> 04:22:07.479
trying to ease anybody else ever, a place where you

1491
04:22:07.680 --> 04:22:17.239
can actually not just love yourself, but in some ways

1492
04:22:17.319 --> 04:22:26.440
more importantly, you can like yourself, appreciate who you are,

1493
04:22:35.319 --> 04:22:41.920
that sense of gratitude is in the air all around you.

1494
04:22:49.559 --> 04:22:57.399
That's also a place where you can actually feel the

1495
04:22:57.760 --> 04:23:13.040
healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into

1496
04:23:13.159 --> 04:23:23.120
your body, and that healing energy spreads through your veins,

1497
04:23:26.879 --> 04:23:33.760
traveling to each and every single part of your body,

1498
04:23:39.680 --> 04:23:44.280
and you start to realize that actually, that healing energy,

1499
04:23:46.760 --> 04:23:53.159
it's not just entered into your brain, it's become part

1500
04:23:53.680 --> 04:24:05.120
of your brain, and spinal fluid is now mixed with

1501
04:24:05.440 --> 04:24:16.639
healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so much

1502
04:24:16.920 --> 04:24:31.319
more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but also you

1503
04:24:31.479 --> 04:24:39.840
start to realize that actually, what's happening now with that healing,

1504
04:24:40.840 --> 04:24:50.479
relaxing energy spreading through your body, it's actually changing your life.

1505
04:24:55.639 --> 04:25:00.760
It's actually changing the way you're going to feel not

1506
04:25:01.040 --> 04:25:08.399
just now, but tomorrow and the next day. As your

1507
04:25:08.559 --> 04:25:16.600
health improves, not just your physical health, but your mental health.

1508
04:25:20.559 --> 04:25:25.760
Things that used to bother you in the past, for

1509
04:25:25.920 --> 04:25:31.959
some reason, no longer have the effect that they used

1510
04:25:32.000 --> 04:25:46.239
to because something has changed deep within you. Maybe things

1511
04:25:46.559 --> 04:25:56.239
that used to cause you to feel anger no longer

1512
04:25:56.600 --> 04:26:06.280
have that power to control you the way they seem

1513
04:26:06.399 --> 04:26:15.280
to be able to before. As you realize that you're

1514
04:26:15.399 --> 04:26:28.079
the one who decides what affects you. You're the one

1515
04:26:28.680 --> 04:26:39.120
who decides to feel relaxed and calm when you choose

1516
04:26:42.680 --> 04:26:57.200
to enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing, continuing to

1517
04:26:57.399 --> 04:27:11.760
grow and improve your life day by day, including of course,

1518
04:27:11.879 --> 04:27:24.639
your ability to relax so much easier and sleep in

1519
04:27:29.200 --> 04:27:34.879
It's the most natural thing in the world to you,

1520
04:27:39.399 --> 04:27:46.559
because falling asleep is something that you've done so many

1521
04:27:46.760 --> 04:27:54.559
times in your life, and you know that you were born,

1522
04:27:56.079 --> 04:28:02.680
as we all were, with the ability to fall asleep naturally.

1523
04:28:06.879 --> 04:28:17.600
We were born with that ability to just drift off

1524
04:28:18.360 --> 04:28:31.479
into a deep, healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes

1525
04:28:31.600 --> 04:28:36.000
we'll fall asleep when we don't even want to try

1526
04:28:36.079 --> 04:28:40.319
to take us stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in

1527
04:28:40.399 --> 04:28:44.559
the morning, or it's Christmas or holiday or something we

1528
04:28:44.719 --> 04:28:47.159
look forward to. We don't want to go to sleep.

1529
04:28:49.399 --> 04:28:54.360
But the more we want to stay awake, the more

1530
04:28:54.600 --> 04:29:02.920
we just start to drift. And the more you fight drifting,

1531
04:29:03.600 --> 04:29:05.959
the more you try to stop yourself and drift in

1532
04:29:06.040 --> 04:29:19.040
a shape, the deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because

1533
04:29:19.079 --> 04:29:24.520
we're born not just with the need to relax, deeply

1534
04:29:26.239 --> 04:29:36.079
and to naturally fall asleep. But it's our birthright, it's

1535
04:29:36.200 --> 04:29:46.719
part of our DNA, and sometimes as we get older

1536
04:29:46.799 --> 04:30:00.000
in life, perhaps at times we have forgotten that relaxing completely.

1537
04:30:02.000 --> 04:30:15.360
It's not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

1538
04:30:26.719 --> 04:30:34.239
It's very very easy to let go, because that's all

1539
04:30:34.319 --> 04:30:48.680
it is. It's just deciding to let go. And when

1540
04:30:48.799 --> 04:30:56.600
you press the play button on my recordings, you have

1541
04:30:56.840 --> 04:31:07.399
given permission for my voice to relax you. When you

1542
04:31:07.520 --> 04:31:12.920
press that play button, you've given me permission for my

1543
04:31:13.200 --> 04:31:28.000
words to affect you in a positive, only a positive way,

1544
04:31:31.959 --> 04:31:55.479
opening up your mind too useful and healing suggestions that

1545
04:31:55.639 --> 04:32:06.840
can have such an amazing effect on how you feel

1546
04:32:07.559 --> 04:32:21.719
right now, as well as those changes that continue long

1547
04:32:22.120 --> 04:32:32.399
after the recording ends, Those changes within you to continue

1548
04:32:32.680 --> 04:32:45.920
to flourish and grow, transforming your life in a positive,

1549
04:32:47.719 --> 04:32:57.360
beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in your life

1550
04:32:58.840 --> 04:33:13.599
in the direction you choose for yourself. And this feeling,

1551
04:33:16.360 --> 04:33:24.479
this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,

1552
04:33:32.240 --> 04:33:46.200
this feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

1553
04:33:54.119 --> 04:34:07.880
and that positivity grows within you each and every day

1554
04:34:10.959 --> 04:34:20.759
moving forward you're going to find that you're more relaxed

1555
04:34:23.080 --> 04:34:35.439
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's

1556
04:34:35.520 --> 04:34:41.040
not that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind

1557
04:34:41.159 --> 04:34:53.000
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from

1558
04:34:53.119 --> 04:35:03.400
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're

1559
04:35:03.479 --> 04:35:14.279
going to start noticing when negativity arises, and you can

1560
04:35:14.479 --> 04:35:28.400
just say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn around

1561
04:35:29.000 --> 04:35:48.400
and leave you alone. Stop and that negativity will disappear.

1562
04:35:56.560 --> 04:36:02.240
And as you notice that you fear or way more

1563
04:36:02.360 --> 04:36:18.680
relaxed than you probably expected, you can now congratulate yourself

1564
04:36:19.400 --> 04:36:26.279
because you're the person that has done this. You are

1565
04:36:26.360 --> 04:36:31.040
the one that has opened your mind up to the

1566
04:36:31.240 --> 04:36:39.279
simple facts that you can feel more relaxed in your

1567
04:36:39.360 --> 04:36:49.400
body and in your mind. You've opened your mind up

1568
04:36:49.639 --> 04:36:57.680
to the birthright of being able to just fall asleep

1569
04:36:58.080 --> 04:37:13.599
easily when you choose. And that's a nice feeling. Don't

1570
04:37:13.639 --> 04:37:23.479
you think it feels nice? Doesn't it? To feel calm?

1571
04:37:25.119 --> 04:37:29.720
All that healing energy is spreading through your body and

1572
04:37:29.840 --> 04:37:42.119
your mind to spend time in a special place where

1573
04:37:45.040 --> 04:37:58.680
negativity can no longer enter. Negativity is banned. It's bad,

1574
04:38:00.119 --> 04:38:06.880
it's not allowed entry. Doesn't. It doesn't. This doesn't deserve

1575
04:38:07.000 --> 04:38:15.159
to be here, doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place

1576
04:38:16.200 --> 04:38:33.000
in your life. Which makes room feel more comfort, more heathing,

1577
04:38:35.159 --> 04:39:02.400
more relaxation, more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it? Just

1578
04:39:05.880 --> 04:39:25.799
the let go with everything. I'm going to count down

1579
04:39:26.000 --> 04:39:34.680
now from twenty down to one. You can continue to relax.

1580
04:39:36.880 --> 04:39:48.400
If you choose, you can drift to sleep with every

1581
04:39:48.599 --> 04:39:59.360
number you hear me say you can fill twice is

1582
04:39:59.560 --> 04:40:07.880
relax next? Or if you choose you can fill twice sleepy.

1583
04:40:14.319 --> 04:40:14.520
Now?

1584
04:40:19.919 --> 04:42:28.799
Twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1585
04:42:35.360 --> 04:42:35.639
Four.

1586
04:43:09.000 --> 04:43:18.840
This is your time to just take a break, your

1587
04:43:19.000 --> 04:43:29.680
time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,

1588
04:43:38.400 --> 04:43:52.439
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything.

1589
04:43:57.200 --> 04:44:01.639
And you you're the only person that can make that decision.

1590
04:44:04.520 --> 04:44:07.240
You're the only person that can actually tell your mind

1591
04:44:12.040 --> 04:44:36.319
to just relax, to just take some time off so

1592
04:44:36.479 --> 04:44:41.319
that you can focus on your body, getting in touch

1593
04:44:41.639 --> 04:44:56.319
with how you feel physically and in the process of

1594
04:44:59.080 --> 04:45:03.840
this body's scan where you focus on different parts of

1595
04:45:03.919 --> 04:45:14.720
your body, those parts that you focus on and observe.

1596
04:45:17.680 --> 04:45:26.040
Even though you're not purposely requesting for those parts of

1597
04:45:26.119 --> 04:45:33.599
your body to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect

1598
04:45:35.000 --> 04:45:42.639
when you listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally,

1599
04:45:48.159 --> 04:45:56.599
because when you're listening to me, your attention is focused

1600
04:45:58.319 --> 04:46:09.520
on my words, and as my words guide you to

1601
04:46:09.680 --> 04:46:22.080
focus on those parts of your body, your focus increases,

1602
04:46:29.200 --> 04:46:45.520
which actually calms your mind. And when your mind calms down,

1603
04:46:50.400 --> 04:47:12.479
your body relaxes. And when your body calms down, your

1604
04:47:12.639 --> 04:47:29.479
mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started the

1605
04:47:29.639 --> 04:47:42.319
focus on your body, you can already feel that healing

1606
04:47:42.560 --> 04:47:57.040
energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,

1607
04:48:01.200 --> 04:48:08.479
healing all the parts of your body, including your skin,

1608
04:48:09.639 --> 04:48:16.520
your bones, your blood, all of your organs inside your body,

1609
04:48:17.959 --> 04:48:24.720
all of the muscles, all of the fat, all of everything,

1610
04:48:26.560 --> 04:48:32.759
every hair on your body is filled with that healing energy.

1611
04:48:40.799 --> 04:48:56.520
And when your brain fills with that healing energy, the

1612
04:48:56.759 --> 04:49:21.479
feeling of comfort vaxation increases, deeply increases in a way

1613
04:49:21.759 --> 04:49:41.759
that your mind starts to feel perhaps bit drowsy because

1614
04:49:41.840 --> 04:50:00.919
it's not needed, and it may start to drift if

1615
04:50:01.040 --> 04:50:09.560
that's what's needed. So, if you're listening to this, and

1616
04:50:09.680 --> 04:50:13.720
what you need is deep relaxation, that's what you get.

1617
04:50:15.959 --> 04:50:22.840
If what you need is to fall asleep naturally and

1618
04:50:23.040 --> 04:50:31.599
easily as your mind drifts, that's also what will happen.

1619
04:50:37.319 --> 04:50:45.040
Because by pressing that play button on the podcast and

1620
04:50:45.360 --> 04:50:51.639
listening to me, you give permission for your body and

1621
04:50:51.799 --> 04:51:03.799
your mind. In fact, you give the command to your

1622
04:51:03.880 --> 04:51:15.200
body and your mind to relax deeply and to drift

1623
04:51:15.319 --> 04:51:24.200
off to sleep if that's what you want or need.

1624
04:51:31.919 --> 04:51:37.560
And as I focus on the different parts of your body,

1625
04:51:42.520 --> 04:51:51.360
you may start to just drift. And then you come

1626
04:51:51.439 --> 04:51:56.720
back again and you hear me talking, and I'm focusing

1627
04:51:56.880 --> 04:52:05.279
on a different parts of your body, and you may

1628
04:52:07.400 --> 04:52:16.400
find yourself drifting. You don't realize you're drifting until you

1629
04:52:16.599 --> 04:52:24.959
stop drifting and you're alert again to my voice. Focusing

1630
04:52:26.119 --> 04:52:30.919
on a different part of your body starts to relax

1631
04:52:31.119 --> 04:52:43.599
even deeper, because that drifting is basically you already in

1632
04:52:43.720 --> 04:52:54.080
the sleep zone. And the more you drift, the longer

1633
04:52:54.159 --> 04:53:03.959
you drift, and the longer you drift, eventually that drifting

1634
04:53:04.200 --> 04:53:16.040
continues into sleep, and that's the last you remember until

1635
04:53:16.080 --> 04:53:25.080
you wake up in your own time. When you experience

1636
04:53:25.400 --> 04:53:33.000
the right amount of sleep, fear because when you do,

1637
04:53:34.919 --> 04:53:45.880
and if you do fall asleep, it's extremely pleasant. So relaxing,

1638
04:53:48.959 --> 04:54:06.159
so deep, healing sleep. I'm going to feel so nice

1639
04:54:08.360 --> 04:54:13.599
to relax into your own body and mind.

1640
04:54:17.119 --> 04:54:18.279
As you as you.

1641
04:54:18.479 --> 04:54:26.279
Feel that heating energy is spreading through you, relaxing us

1642
04:54:26.439 --> 04:54:48.000
so deeply, relaxing, use so so deeply. As we start

1643
04:54:48.200 --> 04:55:04.200
to focus on your eyes, move down to your chow,

1644
04:55:12.119 --> 04:56:01.560
down to your neck, your shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, your chest, stomach,

1645
04:56:08.840 --> 04:56:43.360
your back, your spine, you hips, your legs, your feet,

1646
04:56:52.200 --> 04:57:21.680
your choys and feelingeeings spreading and growing inside your body,

1647
04:57:23.599 --> 04:57:35.240
feeling you up. Now let's focus again on parts of

1648
04:57:35.319 --> 04:57:49.680
your body, focusing this time on your forehead. Now on

1649
04:57:49.840 --> 04:57:59.040
your mouth, your lips, your tongue, the whole of your mouth.

1650
04:58:11.240 --> 04:58:22.599
Focus then on your fingers. Maybe you could move your

1651
04:58:22.680 --> 04:58:28.279
fingers a little bit. You can focus on each one individually,

1652
04:58:34.520 --> 04:58:41.720
both hands, and even though as you focus on both

1653
04:58:41.759 --> 04:58:47.200
of your hands now they almost seem to just melt

1654
04:58:47.360 --> 04:58:55.319
into one, where there is your right hand start and

1655
04:58:55.400 --> 04:59:05.799
your left hand end, almost as if just mixed together.

1656
04:59:11.279 --> 04:59:22.639
Now focusing on your knees, just noticing how your knees feel.

1657
04:59:39.360 --> 04:59:46.959
Now focusing on your elbows, focusing on both of your elbows,

1658
04:59:53.240 --> 05:00:30.680
just obsurding the feeling your elbows. Now, focusing absurding the

1659
05:00:30.799 --> 05:00:46.319
back of your neck, feeding that energy on the back

1660
05:00:46.439 --> 05:01:36.919
of your neck, Observing your ankles, being aware of physical

1661
05:01:37.360 --> 05:02:47.919
sensations in your ankles, not to sin, No, you toos

1662
05:02:51.240 --> 05:02:52.639
on both for your feet.

1663
05:03:00.080 --> 05:03:00.439
You with.

1664
05:03:02.479 --> 05:03:55.560
How you to feel right now, h ninety Then how

1665
05:03:55.799 --> 05:04:45.159
your entire body feel, noticing your mind feels now letting go,

1666
05:04:53.959 --> 05:05:35.360
letting go, letting go everything, letting go, letting go, letting

1667
05:05:36.040 --> 05:06:03.319
go everything, everything start now. And I'd like you just,

1668
05:06:03.479 --> 05:06:09.119
first of all, just to see yourself lying down on

1669
05:06:09.240 --> 05:06:15.400
that message table, lying on your front. Your head is supported,

1670
05:06:15.840 --> 05:06:24.560
your arms are supported, and you feel comfortable and breathing.

1671
05:06:24.680 --> 05:06:34.159
It's really easy, and you feel you feel confident in

1672
05:06:34.279 --> 05:06:36.479
how you look as well. So there's none of that

1673
05:06:36.639 --> 05:06:43.400
issue of body problems or shyness, because I'm a professional

1674
05:06:44.560 --> 05:06:50.959
and this is a therapy session, so none of that

1675
05:06:51.119 --> 05:07:01.319
stuff matters whatsoever. This is about you. This is about

1676
05:07:01.720 --> 05:07:09.840
how you feel and how you can enjoy that sense

1677
05:07:09.959 --> 05:07:15.959
of comfort and relaxation that comes from letting go and

1678
05:07:16.159 --> 05:07:24.279
allowing my hands and my fingers to relax you by

1679
05:07:24.319 --> 05:07:32.799
a messaging your body. So I want to start off

1680
05:07:33.040 --> 05:07:37.919
just by placing my hands on the back of your head,

1681
05:07:39.360 --> 05:07:43.080
just gently, just so you can feel what my hands

1682
05:07:44.479 --> 05:07:51.520
feel like really on you, so you can maybe feel

1683
05:07:51.520 --> 05:07:53.840
the warmth of my hands on the back of your head.

1684
05:07:57.240 --> 05:07:59.400
And with my hands to the side of your head,

1685
05:08:00.400 --> 05:08:06.959
not pressing, but just holding there very gently, maybe over

1686
05:08:07.080 --> 05:08:10.720
your ears, and a little bit on your face, just

1687
05:08:10.840 --> 05:08:16.279
so you can feel my hands so you can become

1688
05:08:16.319 --> 05:08:29.319
accustomed to them. And now put my hands on the

1689
05:08:29.400 --> 05:08:34.080
back of your head again and gently let them slide

1690
05:08:34.159 --> 05:08:46.360
down onto the back of your neck. You can feel

1691
05:08:46.439 --> 05:08:56.439
my hands gently stroking the back of your neck to

1692
05:08:56.560 --> 05:09:03.040
start with, just so you can get used to the

1693
05:09:04.919 --> 05:09:08.439
feeling of my hands on your skin, get accustomed to

1694
05:09:12.439 --> 05:09:17.360
realize that you're safe and it's all good, it's all fine.

1695
05:09:23.759 --> 05:09:27.799
And I'm going to start gently messaging the muscles in

1696
05:09:27.919 --> 05:09:43.759
the back of your neck with both hands. Now, this

1697
05:09:43.880 --> 05:09:50.119
is a very trusting situation really, because our necks are

1698
05:09:50.200 --> 05:09:55.360
so fragile and to have someone have their hands around

1699
05:09:55.439 --> 05:10:00.560
your neck in that way can sometimes be problematic for people,

1700
05:10:01.799 --> 05:10:06.279
which is why massages are quite good because it allows

1701
05:10:06.319 --> 05:10:16.279
you to relax and to get in touch with trust,

1702
05:10:20.560 --> 05:10:32.439
to feel peaceful and calm, and there's a massage the

1703
05:10:32.759 --> 05:10:40.759
sides of your neck, gently moving from the bottom of

1704
05:10:40.840 --> 05:10:44.520
your neck. It would be sort of near where your

1705
05:10:44.599 --> 05:10:50.279
shoulders start, I guess, all the way up to your jaw,

1706
05:10:52.080 --> 05:10:55.599
your ears kind of area that side of your neck,

1707
05:10:58.360 --> 05:11:00.919
of course is a lot longer than the front of

1708
05:11:01.000 --> 05:11:17.080
your neck. And then message in the back of your neck,

1709
05:11:20.959 --> 05:11:29.720
especially that area where perhaps we hold tension, and there's

1710
05:11:29.799 --> 05:11:34.479
that area's message. You can actually feel a sense of

1711
05:11:34.639 --> 05:11:42.639
release in the back of your neck and maybe you

1712
05:11:42.799 --> 05:11:48.119
can breathe it out as well. Notice how it feels.

1713
05:11:48.360 --> 05:12:01.000
Notice how you feel. And then move down to that

1714
05:12:01.240 --> 05:12:06.560
area between your neck and your shoulders, that muscle area.

1715
05:12:09.240 --> 05:12:16.720
Starting to message that area on both sides. I mean,

1716
05:12:16.759 --> 05:12:19.040
this would be the area that a lot of people

1717
05:12:19.080 --> 05:12:21.959
would message if they were going to give you like

1718
05:12:22.080 --> 05:12:27.959
a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders, but

1719
05:12:28.119 --> 05:12:32.400
it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders from

1720
05:12:32.439 --> 05:12:38.840
the neck and again that can hold tension and stress.

1721
05:12:40.080 --> 05:12:45.040
And when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful,

1722
05:12:48.159 --> 05:13:03.560
and you decide how deep that message is and just

1723
05:13:03.759 --> 05:13:10.680
allow my knuckles just to dig in to get to

1724
05:13:10.840 --> 05:13:20.840
those muscles and to ready relaxed all the time being

1725
05:13:21.119 --> 05:13:38.599
fair yet gentle with you and just stroking down the

1726
05:13:38.799 --> 05:13:47.360
area to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of

1727
05:13:47.400 --> 05:13:58.560
your shoulders and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders

1728
05:13:58.560 --> 05:14:01.919
a little bit of the table just to give you

1729
05:14:02.000 --> 05:14:12.400
a little bit of a stretch, but very gently. And

1730
05:14:12.520 --> 05:14:15.040
you've got the muscles at the front of your shoulders,

1731
05:14:15.799 --> 05:14:16.880
the sides.

1732
05:14:16.680 --> 05:14:17.240
And the back.

1733
05:14:25.400 --> 05:14:29.799
Again, this is a part that can really take quite

1734
05:14:29.799 --> 05:14:37.560
a bit of pressure, quite a bit of needing if

1735
05:14:38.000 --> 05:14:45.880
if you wish to really release the tension to really

1736
05:14:46.000 --> 05:14:52.319
get into those muscles, and you can let your fingers

1737
05:14:52.439 --> 05:14:58.759
in there. They can feel really nice. Sometimes just being

1738
05:14:59.040 --> 05:15:09.279
stroked gently or being massaged quite strongly. It can all

1739
05:15:09.360 --> 05:15:19.000
be beneficial to the real ovisation. Put the muscles in

1740
05:15:19.080 --> 05:15:38.680
your shoulders. Now to move down your arms, we do

1741
05:15:38.880 --> 05:15:49.400
one arm at a time, starting with your right arm. Well,

1742
05:15:49.439 --> 05:15:54.279
ideas I just lift your arm up, just hold it

1743
05:15:54.400 --> 05:16:00.200
to the side of you that way it still be attached. Yeah,

1744
05:16:01.919 --> 05:16:16.599
and I just message the tops of your arms all

1745
05:16:16.639 --> 05:16:34.279
the way down to your forearms into your wrists, gently

1746
05:16:34.639 --> 05:16:47.599
massaging that parts. The softer part which is the underpart

1747
05:16:47.680 --> 05:16:53.200
of the arm, which leads to the crease in your

1748
05:16:53.240 --> 05:17:09.240
robo the inside. It's much more sensitive skin. Sometimes just

1749
05:17:09.360 --> 05:17:19.680
having that stroked can feel really nice, pleasurable and relaxing.

1750
05:17:28.439 --> 05:17:39.040
Now moving down to your right hand, just holding your

1751
05:17:39.200 --> 05:17:52.360
hand in both of my hands, just pressing gently on

1752
05:17:52.520 --> 05:17:59.680
the back of your hand and stretching your fingers ever

1753
05:17:59.799 --> 05:18:08.720
so lightly at the same time, pressing down and massaging

1754
05:18:09.400 --> 05:18:22.080
each finger, and then starting to massage the palms of

1755
05:18:22.200 --> 05:18:34.680
the hand. Just turning the hand gently, stretching it gently,

1756
05:18:40.000 --> 05:18:45.599
and actually having your hand held can really be an

1757
05:18:45.680 --> 05:18:53.400
emotional experience sometimes, even if it is a stranger, someone

1758
05:18:53.479 --> 05:18:57.840
you don't know very well, like a massage person or

1759
05:18:58.360 --> 05:19:11.080
a therapist, maybe because it's intimate and you can feel

1760
05:19:11.240 --> 05:19:23.759
nice and you can feel safe. And as I put

1761
05:19:23.880 --> 05:19:32.560
that right arm back down where it was, we did

1762
05:19:32.639 --> 05:19:44.240
the same with your left arm, exactly the same, massage

1763
05:19:44.479 --> 05:19:48.680
in the muscles in your arm all the way down

1764
05:19:49.880 --> 05:20:02.200
to your rest, stroking the inside of your arm, just

1765
05:20:02.319 --> 05:20:15.880
being gentle or as firm as you require, and then

1766
05:20:16.000 --> 05:20:32.439
massaging your left hand, stretching the fingers gently, massaging the

1767
05:20:32.720 --> 05:21:00.759
palm of your left hand. You can feel so so relaxing, comforting,

1768
05:21:14.799 --> 05:21:25.639
and just rest your left arm back down. Start to

1769
05:21:26.720 --> 05:21:37.400
massage your back, the biggest part of your body, starting

1770
05:21:37.479 --> 05:21:43.759
at the top, starting again where we already have been,

1771
05:21:44.520 --> 05:21:49.200
the area at the top in between your shoulders, near

1772
05:21:49.279 --> 05:21:54.439
your neck. Going back a message in that area again,

1773
05:21:55.599 --> 05:22:09.319
but this time moving downwards, taking a downward stroke to

1774
05:22:09.319 --> 05:22:15.840
the middle of your back, working from the outside inwards.

1775
05:22:17.040 --> 05:22:24.479
It's a massage in the your back, but the outsides

1776
05:22:24.840 --> 05:22:34.360
of your back, the parts where your arms would maybe

1777
05:22:34.840 --> 05:22:47.560
rest against, almost the path that connects your front to

1778
05:22:47.759 --> 05:23:05.680
your back. Just massaging down firmly but gently, as firm

1779
05:23:05.720 --> 05:23:13.919
as you want, moving down and moving across a little bed,

1780
05:23:13.959 --> 05:23:17.919
and moving all the way down again, being very gentle

1781
05:23:19.680 --> 05:23:30.880
yet firm as you choose. Eventually we get to the spine.

1782
05:23:32.240 --> 05:23:35.959
We can message the muscles and either side of your

1783
05:23:36.040 --> 05:23:39.919
spine from the top of your neck all the way

1784
05:23:40.119 --> 05:23:51.159
down to your lower back. We can do that a

1785
05:23:51.279 --> 05:24:01.919
few times. Sometimes people use the knuckle or the you know,

1786
05:24:02.360 --> 05:24:06.840
two fingers and just go your side of the spine

1787
05:24:08.000 --> 05:24:11.439
and almost just push down and go all the way

1788
05:24:11.520 --> 05:24:17.639
down to the bottom of the spine, each time releasing

1789
05:24:18.759 --> 05:24:28.840
tension and opening up the body. Stretching your body so

1790
05:24:29.040 --> 05:24:36.319
that you feel more relaxed but at the same time rejuvenated.

1791
05:24:47.680 --> 05:24:50.959
And now I'm going to move to one side, to

1792
05:24:51.080 --> 05:24:58.400
your right side, and from the bottom of your ribs

1793
05:25:00.319 --> 05:25:05.880
to your pelvis, I'm going to massage that area of

1794
05:25:06.040 --> 05:25:11.000
your back. I'll stretch over the other side and I

1795
05:25:11.040 --> 05:25:17.680
will pull the muscles gently and massage and push from

1796
05:25:17.720 --> 05:25:22.639
one end that side or way to my side to

1797
05:25:22.720 --> 05:25:27.400
the middle of fact to where your spine is. Massage

1798
05:25:27.439 --> 05:25:32.520
in that side of your spine the opposite side to

1799
05:25:32.560 --> 05:25:40.439
where I'm standing. It's almost like kneading bread. There's that

1800
05:25:40.639 --> 05:25:47.520
big area which is firm, yet lot's there to massage.

1801
05:25:52.720 --> 05:25:57.000
Potentially one of the most important places to actually have

1802
05:25:57.560 --> 05:26:04.959
a massage because you really feel it. You really feel

1803
05:26:05.159 --> 05:26:10.520
the release and the pleasure of having your lower back massaged.

1804
05:26:13.720 --> 05:26:19.360
It releases so much from your body that's not useful,

1805
05:26:22.599 --> 05:26:28.119
starting a healing process which will continue long after this

1806
05:26:28.360 --> 05:26:40.439
recording is over. The message in this part of your

1807
05:26:40.479 --> 05:26:45.880
body not only feels really good for you, it's actually

1808
05:26:46.000 --> 05:26:50.000
fun to do because it is, as I said, like

1809
05:26:50.240 --> 05:26:55.360
kneading bread. It's a part that you can really get

1810
05:26:55.560 --> 05:27:02.919
hold of and really massage deeply. If that's your choice,

1811
05:27:10.959 --> 05:27:12.840
then I'm going to move over to the other side

1812
05:27:12.880 --> 05:27:19.360
of your body and do the same with the opposite

1813
05:27:19.479 --> 05:27:28.799
part of your lawer back, kneading and messaging from your

1814
05:27:28.959 --> 05:27:35.599
sides all the way to the middle of your back

1815
05:27:36.200 --> 05:27:49.799
where your spine is pressing and kneading firm and gentle

1816
05:27:49.959 --> 05:27:59.799
at the same time. It feels so releasing this mixture

1817
05:27:59.840 --> 05:28:15.240
of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation or mixed together. Plus

1818
05:28:15.360 --> 05:28:19.759
there's that feeling from your stomach as it's being stretched.

1819
05:28:21.639 --> 05:28:24.799
Even though you're in your stomach now, you can feel

1820
05:28:24.840 --> 05:28:28.639
it being stretched because that whole area is connected to

1821
05:28:28.759 --> 05:28:40.080
your stomach. Now we're going to move or move further

1822
05:28:40.279 --> 05:28:44.959
up to your top of your body and I we

1823
05:28:45.119 --> 05:28:53.240
do the same this time, starting with your upper back.

1824
05:28:53.720 --> 05:28:58.919
Put my hands forward over and messing massage in that

1825
05:28:59.200 --> 05:29:05.919
area up to your spine, from the side of your

1826
05:29:05.959 --> 05:29:11.159
body up to your spine. So some of that massage area,

1827
05:29:11.840 --> 05:29:17.840
that muscle tissue or whatever fatty tissue even will be

1828
05:29:18.119 --> 05:29:23.360
possibly from your chest because all connected the chest and

1829
05:29:23.479 --> 05:29:30.040
the back connect together. I'm going to be massaging and

1830
05:29:30.200 --> 05:29:35.400
just pulling some of that skin from your side up

1831
05:29:37.080 --> 05:29:45.759
and massaging that area of your upper back all the

1832
05:29:45.840 --> 05:29:52.439
way to your spine. And then I'll move down a

1833
05:29:52.520 --> 05:29:55.400
bit and I'll continue with the middle of your back,

1834
05:29:55.560 --> 05:30:04.799
doing exactly the same thing as gentle, as deep as

1835
05:30:04.919 --> 05:30:18.080
you choose. Now move the other side again and do

1836
05:30:18.240 --> 05:30:21.639
the exact same thing with the top of your back

1837
05:30:22.560 --> 05:30:31.599
on the other side, from pretty much underneath your arm

1838
05:30:31.680 --> 05:30:45.000
area really to your spine. And then continue in that

1839
05:30:47.119 --> 05:30:51.919
all the way down, including your lower your middle of

1840
05:30:52.000 --> 05:31:10.520
your back. I'm gonna go to your thighs, the backs

1841
05:31:10.560 --> 05:31:20.159
of your thighs, and the sides of your thighs, starting

1842
05:31:20.240 --> 05:31:28.840
with your right leg. Massage in the back and the

1843
05:31:29.080 --> 05:31:37.639
sides of your thighs gently and firmly. There's a lot

1844
05:31:37.680 --> 05:31:41.159
of muscles there. It's an area that can be very

1845
05:31:41.319 --> 05:31:45.520
tense at times and maybe needs a little bit more

1846
05:31:45.599 --> 05:31:49.279
pressure than the rest of the body that's up to you.

1847
05:31:54.200 --> 05:32:00.240
You can gently stroke the back of your legs there,

1848
05:32:01.080 --> 05:32:06.000
you know, opposite your knee joint or underneath your knee joint,

1849
05:32:07.119 --> 05:32:19.240
very sensitive, gentle area. And then working down to your

1850
05:32:20.040 --> 05:32:28.360
calf muscles, Massage in your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply,

1851
05:32:29.479 --> 05:32:49.759
if you choose, using both hands, fingers digging deep to

1852
05:32:49.880 --> 05:32:55.959
your ankles, in the back of your back of your ankles,

1853
05:32:58.439 --> 05:33:10.159
just gently message in that area, maybe lifting the leg

1854
05:33:10.360 --> 05:33:25.759
and stretching a little bit. Moving to the right foot,

1855
05:33:33.759 --> 05:33:43.479
massage in the bottom of your feet and the side

1856
05:33:43.639 --> 05:33:55.000
of your feet gently but firm enough so they don't tickle,

1857
05:34:00.560 --> 05:34:06.040
and just allow the pleasure that you get from heaving

1858
05:34:06.119 --> 05:34:15.520
your feet massaged to just overtake you as I continue

1859
05:34:15.599 --> 05:34:22.200
to message your feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides,

1860
05:34:24.840 --> 05:34:30.560
your arches, your heel. You can put a lot of

1861
05:34:30.639 --> 05:34:36.479
pressure into your heel and it feels amazing, Yet the

1862
05:34:36.720 --> 05:34:44.799
arches need to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your

1863
05:34:44.919 --> 05:34:51.360
toes gently the message in the bottoms of your toes

1864
05:34:52.119 --> 05:35:07.400
with my fingers, each one individually, moving her to the

1865
05:35:07.560 --> 05:35:16.959
left leg to do exactly the same thing, starting at

1866
05:35:17.000 --> 05:35:21.439
the top of the thighs, work in the back of

1867
05:35:21.520 --> 05:35:29.080
the thighs and the sides, massaging deeply and gently the

1868
05:35:29.240 --> 05:35:43.279
whole area, working all the way down. And this is

1869
05:35:43.360 --> 05:35:49.479
an area that maybe you could like to spend more

1870
05:35:49.599 --> 05:35:58.240
time relaxing and massaging. So perhaps if you wanted like

1871
05:35:58.319 --> 05:36:03.639
a bigger future recording where spend more time on one

1872
05:36:03.720 --> 05:36:15.599
particular area as you move down to your calf muscles.

1873
05:36:21.560 --> 05:36:34.959
Massage in your calf muscles firmly and gently, moving down

1874
05:36:37.279 --> 05:36:43.639
your raincor into your feet, Massage in the backs of

1875
05:36:43.759 --> 05:36:54.159
your feet, the bottoms of your feet, stretching your toes,

1876
05:36:54.520 --> 05:37:01.439
and massage in each tone individually. That feeling of pleasure

1877
05:37:02.840 --> 05:37:07.319
and release that you experience when your having your feet

1878
05:37:07.680 --> 05:37:29.119
massaged feels really good. Now, she turn over in your mind.

1879
05:37:30.479 --> 05:37:40.200
Laying on your back, I'm just going to start again

1880
05:37:43.479 --> 05:37:58.159
for your neck area, in your shoulders, just to get

1881
05:37:58.279 --> 05:38:07.319
back in touch with that area. Yeah, and as you

1882
05:38:07.520 --> 05:38:19.599
move up, I can clean my hands, make them more fresh,

1883
05:38:20.319 --> 05:38:29.720
because now I'm gonna message your face gently, starting off

1884
05:38:29.840 --> 05:38:40.439
with your forehead. Your eyes are closed and I can

1885
05:38:40.639 --> 05:38:46.400
just stretch your eyes a little bit, pushing up on

1886
05:38:46.520 --> 05:39:05.200
your eyebrows, just massaging around just scalp, massaging down your cheeks,

1887
05:39:06.720 --> 05:39:19.159
around your ears, into your jaw, gently the sides of

1888
05:39:19.279 --> 05:39:36.880
your neck, your chin mm hmm, and just moving down

1889
05:39:41.080 --> 05:39:48.520
from your neck down to your chest, starting by massage

1890
05:39:48.599 --> 05:39:55.439
in the very top of your chest where the collar

1891
05:39:55.520 --> 05:40:09.000
bone is, either side of the collarbone, and then just

1892
05:40:09.400 --> 05:40:21.840
message in the whole of the chest, moving the chest

1893
05:40:22.000 --> 05:40:35.560
around because it's quite a large area. You can move

1894
05:40:35.759 --> 05:40:46.560
from one side to the next, moving my hands underneath

1895
05:40:46.840 --> 05:40:56.560
pretty much where your arms are stretching up, stretching some

1896
05:40:56.759 --> 05:41:04.560
of the muscles of your back in the process, moving

1897
05:41:04.720 --> 05:41:25.520
up over your chest and they're moving down again, and

1898
05:41:25.639 --> 05:41:31.080
then allowing my hands to just massage gently and slide

1899
05:41:31.400 --> 05:41:37.919
down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,

1900
05:41:41.360 --> 05:41:48.040
and then gradually my hands moving apart and massage in

1901
05:41:48.200 --> 05:41:57.279
and slide in at the same time, moving down to

1902
05:41:57.479 --> 05:42:13.159
just below your red cage, moving down, then messaging up again,

1903
05:42:15.959 --> 05:42:23.840
giving your chest all the attention that it needs to

1904
05:42:24.040 --> 05:42:36.279
feel completely relaxed. Remembering that I'm also going to be

1905
05:42:36.400 --> 05:42:42.400
focusing on your sides as well, an area that really

1906
05:42:42.680 --> 05:42:50.240
doesn't get much attention but feels really good when it's massaged.

1907
05:42:55.159 --> 05:42:59.159
Just stroking my hands down the sides of your body,

1908
05:43:03.000 --> 05:43:06.400
just below your arms, all the way down to your hips.

1909
05:43:16.040 --> 05:43:21.880
Now move into your stomach area. I'm going to stand

1910
05:43:22.040 --> 05:43:24.720
one side of you like I did when I did

1911
05:43:24.759 --> 05:43:30.000
your lower back. We're going to do a similar process

1912
05:43:31.000 --> 05:43:41.680
of just stretching the muscles from your side, gently massaging

1913
05:43:45.880 --> 05:43:47.479
from one side to the next.

1914
05:43:49.759 --> 05:43:50.200
Move in.

1915
05:43:52.759 --> 05:43:56.959
A whole area from below your ribs all the way

1916
05:43:57.080 --> 05:44:07.919
down to below your belly button, and then move around

1917
05:44:08.000 --> 05:44:10.639
to the other side of you and repeat that.

1918
05:44:17.240 --> 05:44:31.279
Process of relaxing deeply, calmly. You feel loose, you feel free.

1919
05:44:33.639 --> 05:44:38.360
And it's something about having your stomach message that's different

1920
05:44:38.439 --> 05:44:45.240
from any other part because we do have a tendency

1921
05:44:45.880 --> 05:44:49.799
of holding a different kind of stress in our stomachs

1922
05:44:51.159 --> 05:44:59.000
that we may not be aware of, as in our

1923
05:44:59.200 --> 05:45:09.360
message stomach in front of your stomach, making circles around

1924
05:45:09.680 --> 05:45:18.080
your belly button, and then going the other way around.

1925
05:45:24.639 --> 05:45:30.400
There's a gentleness and a freedom that comes from feeling

1926
05:45:31.040 --> 05:45:41.319
how you're feeling as a Now, move down the tops

1927
05:45:41.400 --> 05:45:48.159
of your thighs, the muscles, massaging them, and I can

1928
05:45:48.279 --> 05:45:54.240
do this two legs at the same time, pressing down,

1929
05:45:57.080 --> 05:46:03.240
massaging deeply those muscles in your thighs at front of

1930
05:46:03.319 --> 05:46:14.319
your thighs, and moving down to your knees, gently massaging

1931
05:46:14.400 --> 05:46:25.680
your knees, sliding down your shins, putting pressure on either

1932
05:46:25.840 --> 05:46:38.000
side of your shin gently, softly but firmly, moving down

1933
05:46:38.360 --> 05:46:53.040
to your ankles, stroking the tops of your feet, and

1934
05:46:53.200 --> 05:46:59.279
then with each foot in each hand, just gently messaging

1935
05:47:00.119 --> 05:47:08.400
the whole of the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel,

1936
05:47:08.919 --> 05:47:16.639
your ankle, your toes, message in every part of your feet.

1937
05:47:21.720 --> 05:47:27.720
Feels so good. Just to let go and enjoy the process.

1938
05:47:33.400 --> 05:47:52.240
Enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed. So much comfort and so

1939
05:47:52.439 --> 05:48:09.200
many feelings come just from touching your skin. And you

1940
05:48:09.319 --> 05:48:15.560
can just lie there for as long as you choose,

1941
05:48:19.520 --> 05:48:29.000
enjoying the feeling of deep comfort from being massaged.

1942
05:48:31.000 --> 05:48:31.319
By me.

1943
05:48:38.520 --> 05:48:59.759
Enjoy feeling deeply laxed. And all we're going to do

1944
05:49:00.439 --> 05:49:05.479
is blow out some candles.

1945
05:49:08.000 --> 05:49:23.040
In your mind, there are going to be a hundred candles,

1946
05:49:30.159 --> 05:49:35.959
and you're going to blow each one out individually, one

1947
05:49:36.319 --> 05:49:41.599
by one, starting at one hundred.

1948
05:49:42.680 --> 05:49:50.040
As I count down all the way down to one,

1949
05:49:54.560 --> 05:50:03.479
and each time I say a number, you can imagine

1950
05:50:03.520 --> 05:50:09.919
that candle in front of you, and I'd like you

1951
05:50:10.080 --> 05:50:29.360
to actually physically generally blow that candle out, just so

1952
05:50:29.479 --> 05:50:38.720
it's not big blows, just a gentle, and that candle

1953
05:50:40.200 --> 05:50:49.560
will extinguish. And then I'll say the next number to

1954
05:50:49.799 --> 05:50:58.759
move down, and you can just h blow that one

1955
05:50:58.840 --> 05:51:08.560
out as well. And as we move down the numbers,

1956
05:51:13.119 --> 05:51:21.799
you'll find yourself feeling more and more relaxed. If you

1957
05:51:21.959 --> 05:51:31.080
need to sleep, you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired

1958
05:51:32.279 --> 05:51:43.639
and sleepy. In fact, you may struggle to blow out

1959
05:51:43.799 --> 05:52:00.720
all one hundred of these candles as you feel more

1960
05:52:00.840 --> 05:52:28.479
and more deeply relaxed, more and more deeply tired, and

1961
05:52:28.919 --> 05:52:38.639
the further you go down, the more your mind starts

1962
05:52:39.119 --> 05:52:50.639
to drift. You may find that you stop listening to

1963
05:52:50.840 --> 05:53:03.319
me after a while. And even though there may be

1964
05:53:04.279 --> 05:53:12.279
background sounds where you are, you'll be aware of those

1965
05:53:12.479 --> 05:53:31.319
sounds at the moment, be may start to just not

1966
05:53:31.560 --> 05:53:50.639
even notice them at all, because they are unimportant. Where

1967
05:53:50.720 --> 05:53:57.680
I am, I've got the sounds of the birds, there's

1968
05:53:57.880 --> 05:54:06.000
horror to pigeon who likes to say hello sometimes, and

1969
05:54:06.159 --> 05:54:14.720
there's the odd plane that goes by, maybe traffic and

1970
05:54:16.200 --> 05:54:29.520
trains in the distance, But none of that scens important whatsoever.

1971
05:54:34.200 --> 05:54:48.799
More candles you blow out less important. Anything is. More

1972
05:54:49.200 --> 05:54:59.919
candles you blow out. The further you seem to move,

1973
05:55:00.040 --> 05:55:17.880
move away from sounds and from general date days, stuff

1974
05:55:19.560 --> 05:55:33.560
seems to just move away on its own. You feel

1975
05:55:34.119 --> 05:55:54.279
more calmer with every candle you blow out, guiding you

1976
05:55:57.560 --> 05:56:10.560
to the next number. Did you hear me say? And

1977
05:56:10.720 --> 05:56:28.599
then you blow that candle out to so easy, so simple.

1978
05:56:38.159 --> 05:56:52.000
We're going to start by introducing the first candle, which

1979
05:56:52.080 --> 05:57:10.759
is a hundred first candles one hundred. When you blow

1980
05:57:11.040 --> 05:57:30.639
that candle out, you'll find immediately a slight change in

1981
05:57:30.840 --> 05:57:39.080
how you feel, as well as a real sense of

1982
05:57:41.599 --> 05:58:09.639
positivity growing within you. Relaxation and sleepiness expand and starting

1983
05:58:10.319 --> 05:58:38.799

Foo and doy.

2014
06:54:40.520 --> 06:55:56.159
Seven two candle leto of all of those thoughts, worries

2015
06:55:56.479 --> 06:56:02.599
concerns about the past thoughts about the future, and even

2016
06:56:04.080 --> 06:56:08.400
things you've been thinking about today. Just let it all

2017
06:56:08.479 --> 06:56:14.720
go because none of it is useful in this moment.

2018
06:56:19.639 --> 06:56:35.000
This is your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed,

2019
06:56:39.319 --> 06:56:45.720
allowing yourself to get in touch with that natural sense

2020
06:56:47.840 --> 06:56:55.919
of peace that we all have within us. It's available

2021
06:56:56.040 --> 06:57:00.840
for everyone. It just sometimes takes a little bit of

2022
06:57:01.000 --> 06:57:08.400
effort to set up the right time and place in

2023
06:57:08.639 --> 06:57:14.880
order for you to just let go. Because when you

2024
06:57:15.119 --> 06:57:22.880
do decide to let go and relax, that's what your

2025
06:57:22.919 --> 06:57:31.639
body starts to do because you've chosen. You've chosen to

2026
06:57:32.080 --> 06:57:39.159
just allow your body to unwind and your mind starts

2027
06:57:39.279 --> 06:57:46.720
to slow down. And it's a nice feeling. It's a

2028
06:57:46.840 --> 06:57:51.040
nice feeling at the beginning, just to know that you

2029
06:57:51.560 --> 06:58:01.840
have chosen to decide to relax deeply, and because you've

2030
06:58:01.919 --> 06:58:10.439
made that decision, your body will just follow suit, because

2031
06:58:10.479 --> 06:58:15.119
sometimes all the muscles in your body need is just

2032
06:58:15.479 --> 06:58:24.720
permission from you to relax. Because so often we're busy,

2033
06:58:25.000 --> 06:58:29.159
we're going from here to there, we're walking around, and

2034
06:58:29.279 --> 06:58:36.599
we're doing stuff, and the body doesn't have any time

2035
06:58:36.880 --> 06:58:45.240
or space to really relax deeply, so it kind of

2036
06:58:45.360 --> 06:58:50.919
waits for you to lead the way waits for your permission.

2037
06:58:55.279 --> 06:59:01.759
And when you do give your permission, when you give

2038
06:59:01.840 --> 06:59:08.119
to say so we you say okay, it's time for

2039
06:59:08.240 --> 06:59:17.880
your body to let go completely and relax totally. Your

2040
06:59:17.919 --> 06:59:27.400
body just follows. It's like a breath of relief. Ah good,

2041
06:59:27.479 --> 06:59:34.400
I can now relax. That feeling at the end of

2042
06:59:34.479 --> 06:59:37.720
a day, of a very physical day that you may

2043
06:59:37.799 --> 06:59:41.639
experience in the past. But you get home and you

2044
06:59:41.840 --> 06:59:45.599
just sit down on a chair, maybe you kick your

2045
06:59:45.680 --> 06:59:51.919
shoes off, and ah, feels so nice knowing that you

2046
06:59:52.040 --> 06:59:56.159
don't have to get up again for a little while

2047
06:59:56.240 --> 06:59:59.880
at least if you choose you can just sit there

2048
07:00:00.119 --> 07:00:12.639
for maybe an hour to It feels blissful. And just

2049
07:00:12.799 --> 07:00:17.880
by sitting down like that, your body knows that it's

2050
07:00:18.000 --> 07:00:23.680
time to relax. Your body has been given permission from you.

2051
07:00:25.880 --> 07:00:36.200
Because it's a mindset in your mind, you're prepared to

2052
07:00:36.400 --> 07:00:45.759
let go of everything and just completely allow all of

2053
07:00:45.919 --> 07:00:56.520
thestress of your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just gradually.

2054
07:00:58.599 --> 07:00:58.959
Vanish.

2055
07:01:05.479 --> 07:01:17.159
It's almost like magic, really, because that sense of relaxation

2056
07:01:17.520 --> 07:01:23.479
in your body, it's a very natural state. It's not

2057
07:01:23.680 --> 07:01:28.520
something unusual. It may feel unusual when you first start

2058
07:01:28.599 --> 07:01:33.080
to relax, if you if you haven't really spent a

2059
07:01:33.159 --> 07:01:37.400
lot of time focusing and giving yourself this space to

2060
07:01:37.560 --> 07:01:42.880
let go completely and relax, they seem more most alien,

2061
07:01:44.720 --> 07:01:50.639
but it isn't. It's actually the most natural thing in

2062
07:01:50.720 --> 07:02:00.959
the world to let go completely, to relax totally, the

2063
07:02:01.119 --> 07:02:08.119
most natural thing in the world to allow yourself.

2064
07:02:12.040 --> 07:02:12.959
To feel.

2065
07:02:14.159 --> 07:02:20.799
Really calm in your mind. And it is almost like

2066
07:02:20.919 --> 07:02:30.520
a literal unwinding. It's like you press a button and

2067
07:02:30.720 --> 07:02:36.880
all the tension just releases, and it's like a wheel,

2068
07:02:37.279 --> 07:02:41.479
like a cog, like the inside of a clock, just unwinding,

2069
07:02:42.119 --> 07:02:46.040
and it's almost like you could see the little wind

2070
07:02:46.159 --> 07:02:52.000
up knob that's used just going the opposite way that

2071
07:02:52.119 --> 07:02:58.040
you choose to wind it up, and the energy that

2072
07:02:58.279 --> 07:03:08.479
fremetic stress for energy gradually winding down, losing its power,

2073
07:03:09.759 --> 07:03:17.200
losing its strength as a sense of relaxation becomes stronger

2074
07:03:18.400 --> 07:03:27.919
and deeper, and you may find a the more relaxed

2075
07:03:29.279 --> 07:03:40.599
you feel, that your mind starts to wonder, maybe seem

2076
07:03:40.720 --> 07:03:44.560
to stop listening to me for a while, and your

2077
07:03:44.680 --> 07:03:50.200
mind goes somewhere else, and then you realize you're listening

2078
07:03:50.279 --> 07:03:55.919
to me again, and that was just your mind drifting

2079
07:03:56.319 --> 07:04:06.200
to sleep, which is quite natural because sometimes when we're

2080
07:04:08.759 --> 07:04:14.159
stressed and tense, we're not mean I actually be aware

2081
07:04:14.479 --> 07:04:20.799
of what we need, what we physically or emotionally need

2082
07:04:21.279 --> 07:04:29.000
in this moment. But when you allow your body and

2083
07:04:29.279 --> 07:04:40.360
mind to relax completely and you let go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas,

2084
07:04:41.880 --> 07:04:46.400
all letting them go allow them to drop onto the floor.

2085
07:04:51.680 --> 07:04:57.680
When you start to get in touch with the feelings

2086
07:04:57.840 --> 07:05:09.360
of so to relaxation and feels so nice to be

2087
07:05:09.520 --> 07:05:16.240
in touch with the calmness of the different body parts

2088
07:05:16.400 --> 07:05:30.040
as they become looser and looser. Even your breathing seems

2089
07:05:31.799 --> 07:05:42.240
easier and more natural, effortless, as that cool odenters through

2090
07:05:42.279 --> 07:05:51.599
your mouth or nose into your lungs, breathing in comforts

2091
07:05:51.799 --> 07:05:59.720
and relaxation, and then just breathing out any excess through

2092
07:05:59.799 --> 07:06:06.000
me in intention or stress from every part of your

2093
07:06:06.040 --> 07:06:13.799
body and mind. And as you start to focus on

2094
07:06:13.959 --> 07:06:22.080
your mind, maybe you notice that things have come to

2095
07:06:22.240 --> 07:06:29.599
a standstill or maybe just much much lower than before,

2096
07:06:32.799 --> 07:06:39.759
because your mind is not really needed when listening to

2097
07:06:39.959 --> 07:06:49.560
my voice, which allows your mind to relax just as

2098
07:06:49.759 --> 07:06:59.639
deeply as your body and that's synchronicity between the relaxation

2099
07:07:00.759 --> 07:07:10.479
of your body and relaxation of your mind. Let you

2100
07:07:10.799 --> 07:07:23.479
know that feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed really is

2101
07:07:25.319 --> 07:07:41.319
a great healing experience fear and has so many positive

2102
07:07:41.639 --> 07:07:49.599
benefits for your body, mind, and your life. To be

2103
07:07:49.759 --> 07:07:58.159
able to let go over everything and to relax completely

2104
07:08:00.119 --> 07:08:08.479
in all parts of your body and mind. Even your

2105
07:08:08.599 --> 07:08:16.479
bones as are axed, all your muscles are re rexed,

2106
07:08:23.279 --> 07:08:37.680
even the skin that covers your body is relaxed. Every hair.

2107
07:08:40.560 --> 07:08:41.119
That you have.

2108
07:08:42.919 --> 07:09:00.319
Is also deeply relaxed, and your brain re star what's

2109
07:09:00.439 --> 07:09:02.759
to feel the benefits.

2110
07:09:04.080 --> 07:09:04.400
Of this.

2111
07:09:06.040 --> 07:09:18.200
Healing relaxation. And then as you focus on the inside

2112
07:09:18.360 --> 07:09:23.560
of your scalp where your brain is, you can start

2113
07:09:24.159 --> 07:09:38.599
to realize and notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply. Then,

2114
07:09:38.680 --> 07:09:50.119
as your brain continues to relax sends those messages to

2115
07:09:50.919 --> 07:09:56.200
the rest of your body and your mind.

2116
07:09:57.840 --> 07:10:03.040
To react even more.

2117
07:10:06.599 --> 07:10:25.720
Deeply, relaxy more completely, letting go of any remaining thoughts

2118
07:10:27.840 --> 07:10:34.720
or consers, allow them just to drop onto the floor

2119
07:10:36.919 --> 07:10:45.360
because they're no longer necessary in this moment, In this

2120
07:10:45.680 --> 07:10:55.599
moment of deep relaxation and calmness, filling.

2121
07:10:57.840 --> 07:10:58.799
Your brain.

2122
07:11:00.400 --> 07:11:23.560
With deep concentrated heathing, calming, relaxing every part of your brain,

2123
07:11:28.000 --> 07:11:44.560
feeling so loose and comfortable, so relaxed and be peaceful.

2124
07:11:47.840 --> 07:11:59.159
Your brain feels so light, that's so healthy in that

2125
07:11:59.479 --> 07:12:13.080
sense of deep deep comfort really does allow you to

2126
07:12:13.479 --> 07:12:24.799
enjoy those ever increase in sensations of comfort that are

2127
07:12:25.000 --> 07:12:38.279
spreading throughout your body, relaxing each and every muscle of

2128
07:12:38.400 --> 07:12:57.439
your body, and deeper and deeper, much more deeper than before,

2129
07:13:01.159 --> 07:13:16.720
much more comfifort spreading through your body, your mind, be

so that you feel amazing, so relaxed, so peaceful, sol

2141
07:16:17.560 --> 07:16:32.959
and peaceful, letting go every we're going to do a

2142
07:16:33.200 --> 07:16:40.919
body scan, focusing on firstly how you feel in your body,

2143
07:16:42.040 --> 07:16:47.680
not trying to change how you feel, not trying to relax,

2144
07:16:48.919 --> 07:16:53.919
not trying to move away from any discomfort or stress

2145
07:16:54.159 --> 07:17:01.159
or tension, just accepting, observing and accepting then how you

2146
07:17:01.319 --> 07:17:06.919
feel in the different parts of your body, just allowing

2147
07:17:07.000 --> 07:17:16.080
yourself to be exactly as you are, to notice, to

2148
07:17:16.200 --> 07:17:25.040
get in touch with how you actually feel in this moment.

2149
07:17:28.439 --> 07:17:35.040
So I'm going to start off by focusing on your hands.

2150
07:17:39.599 --> 07:17:47.319
Just be aware of your hands. I'd like you to

2151
07:17:47.560 --> 07:17:52.479
move your hands around, just maybe move your fingers a

2152
07:17:52.560 --> 07:18:00.639
little bit. I've been enclosing your hands very gently, just

2153
07:18:01.119 --> 07:18:06.520
so that you can get in touch with how your

2154
07:18:06.720 --> 07:18:29.560
hands and your fingers fell, very very slow movements. Focusing

2155
07:18:29.759 --> 07:18:36.919
now on your feet, and if you can just do

2156
07:18:37.880 --> 07:18:42.240
kind of an equivalent with your feet is you've just

2157
07:18:42.520 --> 07:18:50.720
done with your hands, Maybe turn in your ankles, moving

2158
07:18:50.799 --> 07:19:02.639
your feet around, moving your toes gently, only very gently

2159
07:19:02.919 --> 07:19:14.799
and very slowly, noticing how your feet feel in this moment.

2160
07:19:21.759 --> 07:19:27.880
Focusing now and your eyes, I like you to just

2161
07:19:29.560 --> 07:19:35.360
focus on your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close

2162
07:19:35.439 --> 07:19:39.639
your eyes a couple of times to really get in

2163
07:19:39.840 --> 07:19:43.919
touch with how you feel when you do close your eyes.

2164
07:19:46.080 --> 07:19:52.479
The muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them.

2165
07:19:55.319 --> 07:20:01.680
Maybe raising your eyebrows, stretch is the tops of your eyes,

2166
07:20:04.919 --> 07:20:13.360
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes just so

2167
07:20:13.479 --> 07:20:21.919
you can hear it again. Touch with all aspects of

2168
07:20:23.080 --> 07:20:41.240
how your eyes feel right now. Now focus in on

2169
07:20:41.439 --> 07:20:47.840
your thighs, and it just starts you to gently tense

2170
07:20:48.080 --> 07:20:58.000
your thighs, just very very gently, just enough so you

2171
07:20:58.119 --> 07:21:11.799
can because more attuned to the physical sensation of your

2172
07:21:11.919 --> 07:21:17.279
upper legs, the front of your thighs, and the backs

2173
07:21:17.360 --> 07:21:31.720
of your thigh noticing and observing how your thighs feel

2174
07:21:33.000 --> 07:21:45.959
right now, moving your focus to the back of your neck,

2175
07:21:49.639 --> 07:21:56.279
just noticing the back of your neck, the muscles, and

2176
07:21:56.400 --> 07:21:59.360
of course they lead to the side of your neck.

2177
07:22:00.880 --> 07:22:05.959
They also lead to the top of your back, which

2178
07:22:06.119 --> 07:22:11.520
leads to your shoulders. So as your focus on the

2179
07:22:11.680 --> 07:22:17.279
back of your neck, maybe you can move your head

2180
07:22:18.200 --> 07:22:25.919
gently upwards as if you're looking up, Maybe moving your

2181
07:22:26.040 --> 07:22:33.840
head down as if you're looking down. Perhaps moving your

2182
07:22:33.919 --> 07:22:43.880
head side to side, right to left, binly, very slowly

2183
07:22:45.759 --> 07:22:54.599
and very gently, not trying to force anything. It has

2184
07:22:54.759 --> 07:23:03.880
to be very very gentle, just so you can.

2185
07:23:05.439 --> 07:23:07.040
Be more.

2186
07:23:08.680 --> 07:23:18.080
In touch with the feelings, with the sensations, the physical

2187
07:23:19.479 --> 07:23:28.759
sensations of how the back of your neck feels. Right now,

2188
07:23:36.319 --> 07:23:44.279
as we now focus on the tops of your arms,

2189
07:23:46.680 --> 07:23:51.520
the parts where your biceps and your triceps are between

2190
07:23:51.560 --> 07:23:59.279
your elbow and your shoulders. Should focus on those parts,

2191
07:24:00.319 --> 07:24:05.959
the tops of your arms. You may like to just

2192
07:24:06.759 --> 07:24:18.080
tense them, but very very gently and slowly. See you're

2193
07:24:18.080 --> 07:24:27.560
not straining or put in any pressure whatsoever on your arms.

2194
07:24:30.240 --> 07:24:32.639
It's just so that you can.

2195
07:24:35.159 --> 07:24:42.360
Gain more of a sense of how your upper arms

2196
07:24:43.919 --> 07:24:55.840
are feeling in this moment and just noticing as you gently,

2197
07:24:58.000 --> 07:25:07.599
very gently and slowly tightening the muscles and then let go.

2198
07:25:11.880 --> 07:25:20.279
Notice how the tops of your arms feel right now.

2199
07:25:28.439 --> 07:25:39.240
As a now focus on your stomach, the area the

2200
07:25:39.360 --> 07:25:45.680
lower abdomen area below your belly button, moving all the

2201
07:25:45.759 --> 07:25:59.479
way down to your hips, just above your grind. Maybe

2202
07:25:59.680 --> 07:26:06.400
you are able to tense these muscles in the area

2203
07:26:07.119 --> 07:26:22.400
very very gently and slowly, if that's a difficult thing

2204
07:26:22.599 --> 07:26:28.959
to do, and maybe you can just move your body,

2205
07:26:31.639 --> 07:26:36.560
pushing your stomach up, maybe moving a little bit to

2206
07:26:36.680 --> 07:26:43.680
a side using your hips, just so you can get

2207
07:26:44.080 --> 07:26:56.479
more in tune with how you're lower apptomen area is

2208
07:26:57.599 --> 07:27:18.040
feeling in this moment. Just noticing the physical sensations of

2209
07:27:18.240 --> 07:27:37.479
your lower abdomen as you move your attention to your mouth,

2210
07:27:42.880 --> 07:27:51.040
noticing in your lips and inside your mouth, the teeth,

2211
07:27:52.159 --> 07:28:08.319
your guns, your tongue, Just noticing how your tongue and

2212
07:28:08.400 --> 07:28:18.080
your mouth feels. It may help by moving your tongue

2213
07:28:19.400 --> 07:28:26.360
around your mouth, moving it to your left, maybe pressing

2214
07:28:26.439 --> 07:28:33.159
it gently against the side of your mouth, and then

2215
07:28:33.599 --> 07:28:38.479
to the right, gently to the side of your mouth,

2216
07:28:41.560 --> 07:28:47.080
perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth, and

2217
07:28:47.200 --> 07:28:56.080
then down gently against the bottom of your mouth, always

2218
07:28:57.040 --> 07:29:12.479
very slowly and very very gentle, so that you can

2219
07:29:16.240 --> 07:29:28.520
be aware of how you feel in your mouth area.

2220
07:29:39.799 --> 07:30:00.400
Now I'm going to focus on your wrists and ask

2221
07:30:00.599 --> 07:30:09.159
you to maybe just rotate your wrists by moving your

2222
07:30:09.400 --> 07:30:22.279
hands in a circular motion very gently and slowly, just

2223
07:30:24.080 --> 07:30:40.959
so that you can feel the sensations that you are

2224
07:30:41.479 --> 07:30:57.279
currently experiencing in your wrists. Perhaps move in your hands.

2225
07:30:58.479 --> 07:30:59.919
Up and down.

2226
07:31:02.319 --> 07:31:29.639
The game very very gently and slowly, very gentzl and slow.

2227
07:31:43.119 --> 07:31:59.520
As you now start to observe you lower back, the

2228
07:31:59.759 --> 07:32:10.639
pack part is just above your hips, where your coxis

2229
07:32:10.759 --> 07:32:23.759
are a whole area which also really does include the

2230
07:32:24.119 --> 07:32:26.520
sides of your body.

2231
07:32:27.959 --> 07:32:37.560
Because those muscles are very much connected as those muscles

2232
07:32:38.479 --> 07:32:44.639
also move into your hip area, connecting to your buttocks

2233
07:32:47.720 --> 07:33:02.520
the sides of your hips, and if you're physically able

2234
07:33:02.720 --> 07:33:09.240
to do so, maybe you can very gently.

2235
07:33:10.959 --> 07:33:23.680
Just move your body ever so slightly, very slowly from

2236
07:33:23.919 --> 07:33:42.040
side to side, just enough e gauge how you feel

2237
07:33:44.439 --> 07:33:59.119
in your lower back. Perhaps it could even move your

2238
07:33:59.319 --> 07:34:13.919
hips gently up and down, gently and slowly in order to.

2239
07:34:18.479 --> 07:34:20.000
Be in touch.

2240
07:34:22.360 --> 07:34:45.759
With the physical sensations of your lower back. As we

2241
07:34:46.080 --> 07:35:01.880
now live, your attention to your jaw, that area from

2242
07:35:01.919 --> 07:35:07.159
your chin all the way up to near where your

2243
07:35:07.360 --> 07:35:23.680
ears are, the hole of your jaw, you can just

2244
07:35:25.799 --> 07:35:32.479
if it's okay to do so, gently open your mouth,

2245
07:35:35.400 --> 07:35:46.959
not wide, no stretching, just very gently and slowly opening

2246
07:35:47.119 --> 07:35:59.919
your mouth thing closing your mouth very gently and slow

2247
07:36:09.799 --> 07:36:27.080
so you can be in touch with how your jaw feels. Now,

2248
07:36:53.759 --> 07:37:09.360
I just sit now your chest area, and you don't

2249
07:37:09.560 --> 07:37:16.919
need to do anything to move your chest because it

2250
07:37:17.200 --> 07:37:28.119
moves every time you breathe, and it moves very gently

2251
07:37:30.000 --> 07:37:47.240
and slowly automatically with each breath you take. As you

2252
07:37:47.680 --> 07:38:34.759
focus on how your chest feels. When you pray, move

2253
07:38:34.959 --> 07:38:49.919
in your focus to your forearms, your elbows. Maybe you're

2254
07:38:50.000 --> 07:39:03.639
able to very gently and slowly tense the muscles in

2255
07:39:03.799 --> 07:39:10.720
your forearms, and when you do that, you can feel

2256
07:39:13.959 --> 07:39:45.799
your elbows as well, very gently and slowly, gently and

2257
07:39:46.439 --> 07:40:29.680
softly obsurd your forearms h and helpers no focus the

2258
07:40:29.880 --> 07:40:41.720
rest of your back, your upper back in the middle,

2259
07:40:43.279 --> 07:40:59.919
the middle of your back again, this part of your body.

2260
07:41:00.080 --> 07:41:14.360
It news Also every time you pray, you may not

2261
07:41:14.720 --> 07:41:28.799
notice that usually makes you observe your upper back in

2262
07:41:28.919 --> 07:41:38.799
the middle of your back. You can really feel that

2263
07:41:40.520 --> 07:42:35.799
gentle and slow movement moving your focus into your area,

2264
07:42:39.119 --> 07:42:50.919
your butts, your grain, those muscles, and those bones in

2265
07:42:51.040 --> 07:43:31.639
your midsection. Just noticing how your hips feel. Right now,

2266
07:43:39.119 --> 07:43:54.919
you can very very gently move your hips, maybe side

2267
07:43:55.119 --> 07:44:42.400
to side, very gently and h ND softly and slowly.

2268
07:44:47.720 --> 07:45:04.520
Everything starts to slow down, including the thoughts in your

2269
07:45:04.639 --> 07:45:16.400
mind and your mind itself just starts to gradually. It

2270
07:45:16.479 --> 07:45:22.840
doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting to

2271
07:45:24.240 --> 07:45:33.040
It's almost like time is storing chin. It's a slower

2272
07:45:33.200 --> 07:45:41.080
pace to maybe what you're used to in your day

2273
07:45:41.119 --> 07:46:03.159
to day life. It's a slower movement of energy, very

2274
07:46:07.520 --> 07:46:15.959
small movements which make up the larger movements, which is

2275
07:46:16.040 --> 07:46:23.799
always the case. Now, when you move your hand, it

2276
07:46:23.919 --> 07:46:26.639
might seem like it's one movement, but it's lots of

2277
07:46:27.479 --> 07:46:39.880
minute different muscles moving in accordance with each other. What

2278
07:46:40.200 --> 07:46:52.639
happens in this space that we're sharing is we move

2279
07:46:52.840 --> 07:47:13.520
from that big movement into those smaller movements. Starting to

2280
07:47:13.720 --> 07:47:24.759
focus on how your body feels, not just as a whole,

2281
07:47:26.119 --> 07:47:29.279
not just oh, i'm feel in this way. I'm feeling

2282
07:47:30.360 --> 07:47:36.319
stressed or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm, I'm

2283
07:47:36.400 --> 07:47:43.439
feeling this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice

2284
07:47:43.639 --> 07:47:55.840
that your body begins to present to you small feelings

2285
07:47:57.439 --> 07:48:14.680
around your body, small physical sensations in your legs, whether

2286
07:48:15.080 --> 07:48:27.880
pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting the temptation to label them

2287
07:48:30.799 --> 07:48:38.439
or to judge them, those feelings, just thinking them, thinking

2288
07:48:38.439 --> 07:48:51.639
about them as just being neutral, just feelings, not being

2289
07:48:52.680 --> 07:49:03.000
particularly concerned, but just noticing what your body he's telling you,

2290
07:49:10.799 --> 07:49:16.959
the feelings in your arms, instead of feeling the hole

2291
07:49:17.240 --> 07:49:27.000
of the arm, maybe notice those individual feelings, all those

2292
07:49:27.080 --> 07:49:38.840
different muscles and the skin, the hairs, of your arms,

2293
07:49:40.799 --> 07:49:54.840
all the internal parts of your arms, the veins, the bones,

2294
07:49:57.720 --> 07:50:03.759
just being aware of maybe your elbow on your right

2295
07:50:03.959 --> 07:50:14.560
arm has a certain feeling. Maybe your left wrist also

2296
07:50:14.840 --> 07:50:37.880
has its own individual physical sensation. What about your forearm

2297
07:50:38.919 --> 07:50:51.119
on your right arm, your right forearm. There may not

2298
07:50:51.279 --> 07:50:59.040
be any particular feeling that you could even give a

2299
07:50:59.159 --> 07:51:06.319
name to, may not feel like anything other than just

2300
07:51:06.919 --> 07:51:17.319
a feeling. You know, it's there. The feelings in your shoulders,

2301
07:51:20.159 --> 07:51:23.919
perhaps your shoulders when you think about them, kind of

2302
07:51:24.000 --> 07:51:29.000
almost like they're the same, you know, the same feeling,

2303
07:51:30.840 --> 07:51:34.159
almost like you both of your shoulders are just one thing.

2304
07:51:36.000 --> 07:51:47.080
Of course they're not. And when you focus on your

2305
07:51:47.159 --> 07:51:55.400
left shoulder and then on your right shoulder, maybe find

2306
07:51:55.560 --> 07:52:00.959
that you move the muscles a little bit, maybe tense

2307
07:52:01.040 --> 07:52:26.599
the muscles gently, noticing the difference in each shoulder. Your

2308
07:52:26.680 --> 07:52:42.599
lower back, the left side of your lower back and

2309
07:52:43.400 --> 07:52:54.119
the right side of your lower back of course that

2310
07:52:54.319 --> 07:53:06.720
connection to your buttocks and to your hips, and also

2311
07:53:06.959 --> 07:53:20.680
moving up into the middle of your back. And sometimes

2312
07:53:21.040 --> 07:53:24.520
like right now, actually when I focus on their part,

2313
07:53:25.919 --> 07:53:30.279
when I focused on my buttocks and then I focused

2314
07:53:30.319 --> 07:53:34.439
on the middle of my back, I almost felt like

2315
07:53:34.680 --> 07:53:39.439
the muscles in my lower back were being stretched very gently,

2316
07:53:44.200 --> 07:53:49.479
just stretched a little bit. Even though I wasn't doing

2317
07:53:49.560 --> 07:53:58.319
anything to try to stretch your lower back, it just

2318
07:53:58.439 --> 07:54:10.720
seemed to happen. The feeling of very gently stretching your

2319
07:54:10.799 --> 07:54:38.400
lower back comes along feeling in your chest. Just noticing

2320
07:54:42.759 --> 07:54:51.599
what sensations you are experiencing in your chest right now.

2321
07:55:04.040 --> 07:55:07.840
And there's so much of the chest. Obviously, there's the

2322
07:55:07.959 --> 07:55:12.159
collar bone leading to the chest. You've got the chest bone,

2323
07:55:15.439 --> 07:55:23.240
You've got the muscles in your chest. Of course, if

2324
07:55:23.240 --> 07:55:31.360
you're female, there's possibly the breasts. If you're male, you've

2325
07:55:31.439 --> 07:55:37.759
got the different well why not that different these days,

2326
07:55:37.799 --> 07:55:44.959
But there may be more muscles at the top of

2327
07:55:45.000 --> 07:55:52.639
the chest, but at the side underneath it's pretty much

2328
07:55:52.720 --> 07:55:56.159
the same. Whether you're a man or a woman. There's

2329
07:55:56.279 --> 07:56:03.080
muscles there, muscles that stretch out to your back as

2330
07:56:03.159 --> 07:56:06.959
well as breast tissue it stretches and moves into your back.

2331
07:56:11.880 --> 07:56:30.840
To just being aware of your chest, being with whatever

2332
07:56:31.080 --> 07:56:51.439
feeling there is in your chest. When I noticed I

2333
07:56:51.599 --> 07:56:59.560
focus on my chest, I feel it in my back,

2334
07:57:00.159 --> 07:57:04.240
upper back. I mean, I guess the obvious reason would

2335
07:57:04.279 --> 07:57:14.240
be because you know, I'll breathe in in, and it

2336
07:57:14.400 --> 07:57:17.799
stretches my chest and my back at the same time.

2337
07:57:25.720 --> 07:57:40.919
It feels it feels okay, it doesn't feel I got

2338
07:57:40.959 --> 07:57:47.200
a little bit of pain in my right chest, a

2339
07:57:47.279 --> 07:57:50.720
little bit not pain, but a little discomfort, maybe.

2340
07:57:52.200 --> 07:58:00.720
Stiffness possibly, I don't know. I notice my shows also

2341
07:58:02.400 --> 07:58:03.080
wanting to.

2342
07:58:05.400 --> 07:58:10.080
Flex for some reason. I think that's probably part of

2343
07:58:10.279 --> 07:58:18.560
my upper back, that connection between my shoulders and my

2344
07:58:18.639 --> 07:58:24.200
oper back, because I can move my shoulders and stretch

2345
07:58:24.360 --> 07:58:31.799
the muscles in my back, moving the shoulders backwards or up,

2346
07:58:33.840 --> 07:58:40.200
which then moves I think it's the scapulous in your back.

2347
07:58:50.240 --> 07:58:57.919
It feels quite nice. Actually, A good thing about this

2348
07:58:58.240 --> 07:59:03.000
is you can, if you want to, you can just

2349
07:59:06.560 --> 07:59:18.240
flex or stimulate the various muscles in your body gently

2350
07:59:19.720 --> 07:59:23.159
in order to get more of a sense of how

2351
07:59:23.240 --> 07:59:38.119
they feel. And when you're relaxing. When you do tense

2352
07:59:38.240 --> 07:59:42.159
and muscle and you let it go and you let

2353
07:59:42.240 --> 07:59:51.200
it relax, it relaxes way more than it would normally.

2354
07:59:56.360 --> 08:00:01.400
You have to feel that you're able to do that.

2355
08:00:03.040 --> 08:00:06.799
There's no point in doing it if there's an issue

2356
08:00:08.720 --> 08:00:14.360
with a part of your body. You need to be

2357
08:00:14.959 --> 08:00:27.919
gentle with yourself at all times when relaxing deeply, it's

2358
08:00:27.959 --> 08:00:43.759
important to be kind to yourself as you notice your mind.

2359
08:00:48.080 --> 08:00:55.080
How much has your mind slowed down since we started

2360
08:00:56.520 --> 08:01:21.759
this recording, How came and peaceful is your mind right

2361
08:01:21.840 --> 08:01:34.240
now with nothing to think about and just my voice

2362
08:01:34.520 --> 08:01:44.400
to listen to, Because you know the intention behind this

2363
08:01:44.680 --> 08:01:53.840
recording is relaxation. At the very least, for you to

2364
08:01:54.119 --> 08:01:59.000
feel more relaxed at the end of the recording than

2365
08:01:59.080 --> 08:02:11.720
you did beginning, at the very least, for your mind

2366
08:02:12.560 --> 08:02:28.520
to slow down because your body continues to relax, because

2367
08:02:28.840 --> 08:02:40.479
that's what you want to happen. That's what you expect

2368
08:02:44.840 --> 08:03:09.080
to happen. For relaxation to fill your body, maybe calm

2369
08:03:09.200 --> 08:03:17.799
in your mind to the point of boredom when you start,

2370
08:03:18.159 --> 08:04:06.319
maybe to drift away, almost as if you're moving further

2371
08:04:06.520 --> 08:04:14.759
away from your body in your mind, just leaving that there,

2372
08:04:22.759 --> 08:04:27.040
kind of liking it an escape pod in the spaceship

2373
08:04:27.439 --> 08:04:30.799
a movie, a space movie, you know, when they get

2374
08:04:30.840 --> 08:04:36.840
into a little pod in it, since the man far

2375
08:04:37.040 --> 08:05:06.119
away from the spaceship, safe to dream and continue to relax,

2376
08:05:26.319 --> 08:06:31.959
drifting so slow and pace so so relaxed and pie

2377
08:06:32.119 --> 08:07:07.080
soil and focusing on that feeving, but those individual parts

2378
08:07:07.720 --> 08:07:24.040
of your body that are relaxing one by one, you

2379
08:07:24.200 --> 08:07:36.520
may find that every now and then you realize that

2380
08:07:39.880 --> 08:07:48.479
you are listening to my voice because your mind started

2381
08:07:48.680 --> 08:08:03.200
to imagine something different, maybe started to almost move into

2382
08:08:04.119 --> 08:08:12.400
some kind of a dreamy state, and then you become

2383
08:08:12.479 --> 08:08:20.080
aware of my voice again. And even though you may

2384
08:08:22.119 --> 08:08:27.080
want to focus on my voice, you may also wish

2385
08:08:27.439 --> 08:08:40.799
to allow your mind to just drift naturally into that

2386
08:08:41.159 --> 08:09:03.360
space of comfort and safety. As you feel more comfort

2387
08:09:05.240 --> 08:09:19.000
spreading through your body like a warm blanket covering you gently,

2388
08:09:23.040 --> 08:09:41.119
keeping your body at just the perfect temperature. And even

2389
08:09:41.279 --> 08:09:53.279
if you can hear background sounds, they just don't seem

2390
08:09:53.439 --> 08:10:10.159
to matter anymore. There's that sense of peace spreads through

2391
08:10:10.279 --> 08:10:23.919
your mind like a gentle breeze, yet strong enough to

2392
08:10:24.119 --> 08:10:40.400
blow away all negativity, strong enough to remove from your

2393
08:10:40.520 --> 08:10:58.400
mind any anxiety or stress that was there before, and

2394
08:10:58.639 --> 08:11:09.319
blow away any other thoughts or feelings that just don't

2395
08:11:09.639 --> 08:11:33.880
fit with the sense relaxation that is feeling your body

2396
08:11:38.840 --> 08:11:59.240
and your mind. Unless you focus on your mind, count

2397
08:11:59.360 --> 08:12:05.479
down from ten down to one, and with each number

2398
08:12:06.000 --> 08:12:32.919
you hear, your mind will become slightly more relaxed, just

2399
08:12:33.360 --> 08:12:41.400
just slightly so from ten down to nine, just a

2400
08:12:41.720 --> 08:12:51.000
slight movement. From nine down to eight, just another small

2401
08:12:55.520 --> 08:13:08.159
change in how you feel. Eight down to seven. That

2402
08:13:08.520 --> 08:13:14.439
feelings is a gap, almost like a gap that starts

2403
08:13:14.759 --> 08:13:23.799
to get wider, the gap between those feelings that you

2404
08:13:24.080 --> 08:13:31.400
used to have in your mind compared to the feelings

2405
08:13:31.560 --> 08:13:39.439
you have the growing now feelings of comfort and security

2406
08:13:39.799 --> 08:13:51.080
and confidence, and the gap becomes wider. Eight down to seven,

2407
08:13:51.479 --> 08:14:00.360
seven down to six. When you get to five, your

2408
08:14:00.520 --> 08:14:14.119
mind will start to have a certain physical sensation, most

2409
08:14:14.319 --> 08:14:21.279
like there's a magnet outside of your head, sucking detension

2410
08:14:21.479 --> 08:14:27.240
and the stress and any remaining feelings that you don't want,

2411
08:14:29.279 --> 08:14:38.279
sucking them out through your skull. And in down to

2412
08:14:38.599 --> 08:14:46.000
four you can start to really experience that sense of

2413
08:14:47.560 --> 08:14:58.040
not just emptiness, but space, a place full of fresh air,

2414
08:15:03.080 --> 08:15:09.880
place where you can stretch. It's almost as if as

2415
08:15:09.959 --> 08:15:14.000
you go down to four and three, your mind is

2416
08:15:14.159 --> 08:15:28.680
expanding with this sense of peace and tranquility growing as

2417
08:15:28.720 --> 08:15:36.240
it moves down to When you get to one, your

2418
08:15:36.400 --> 08:15:48.159
mind just feels exactly how you want to feel. It's

2419
08:15:48.159 --> 08:16:03.840
almost perfect feeling, maybe the sensation that.

2420
08:16:05.439 --> 08:16:06.880
You'd like to keep.

2421
08:16:09.880 --> 08:16:20.680
A place that's safe where nothing can affect you at all,

2422
08:16:32.400 --> 08:16:37.080
and you can stay in that that space of comfort

2423
08:16:37.200 --> 08:16:46.919
and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this

2424
08:16:47.840 --> 08:16:53.840
space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind

2425
08:16:55.400 --> 08:17:05.080
just by counting in ten down to one. And this

2426
08:17:05.319 --> 08:17:09.680
is something that you can do yourself when you're on

2427
08:17:09.759 --> 08:17:17.520
your own, the time when you can maybe sit down,

2428
08:17:18.520 --> 08:17:29.360
maybe just for a few minutes, close your eyes, just

2429
08:17:29.680 --> 08:17:42.240
count slowly from ten down to one and re experience

2430
08:17:43.959 --> 08:17:54.279
these feelings in your mind. And when you feel that

2431
08:17:54.479 --> 08:18:09.639
way in your mind, your body copies your mind, and

2432
08:18:09.799 --> 08:18:16.119
a feeling is spread through your spine and your nervous

2433
08:18:16.240 --> 08:18:24.639
system into every part of your body, travels through your bloodstream,

2434
08:18:30.240 --> 08:18:50.720
heathing and relaxing every particle of your existence. Now we

2435
08:18:50.840 --> 08:18:59.639
can we can practice this a few times before the

2436
08:18:59.759 --> 08:19:04.840
end to recording, and then you can practice on your own.

2437
08:19:06.959 --> 08:19:16.680
And each time you count for ten about one, the

2438
08:19:16.880 --> 08:19:30.279
feelings of comfort, calmness, deep deep relaxation becomes stronger and

2439
08:19:31.040 --> 08:19:47.319
deeper feeling your mind and your brain. With these positive chemicals,

2440
08:19:49.119 --> 08:19:59.240
the spread throughout your body, relaxing you so quickly, relaxing

2441
08:19:59.400 --> 08:20:11.040
your whole body and mind so very very easy, just

2442
08:20:11.439 --> 08:20:14.680
by counting from ten.

2443
08:20:17.360 --> 08:20:25.840
Down to one, So we're going to do Now, I'm going.

2444
08:20:25.799 --> 08:20:29.759
To count from ten down to one. I'd like you

2445
08:20:30.040 --> 08:20:34.720
to repeat the number after me. So when I say ten,

2446
08:20:37.759 --> 08:20:49.599
you can just repeat to yourself ten. Just notice, be

2447
08:20:49.759 --> 08:20:58.919
aware of how you feel in your mind and your body.

2448
08:21:03.360 --> 08:21:09.759
Then when I say nine, you can repeat to yourself

2449
08:21:12.720 --> 08:21:27.479
nine a game, noticing the increase in comfort and calmness

2450
08:21:27.880 --> 08:21:38.119
in your mind and in your body, the same when

2451
08:21:38.200 --> 08:21:49.439
I say eight, when I say seven, six, when I

2452
08:21:49.520 --> 08:22:08.520
say five, four, when I say three, two, and lastly

2453
08:22:08.599 --> 08:22:14.080
you want to say one, you can bet that number.

2454
08:22:21.560 --> 08:22:21.680
Now.

2455
08:22:21.799 --> 08:22:27.360
Of course, when you do this on your own without

2456
08:22:27.479 --> 08:22:32.479
listening to me, you can say the numbers or whatever

2457
08:22:34.119 --> 08:22:42.560
speed that you feel is necessary for you, so you

2458
08:22:42.720 --> 08:22:48.639
can adapt. So you feel you want to say the

2459
08:22:48.799 --> 08:22:56.360
numbers ten down to one faster than I do, then

2460
08:22:56.400 --> 08:22:59.279
you go ahead and do that. Or if you feel

2461
08:23:00.119 --> 08:23:03.200
when you do it yourself that you'd like to have

2462
08:23:03.799 --> 08:23:12.919
more space between the numbers, maybe take a lot longer.

2463
08:23:13.759 --> 08:23:15.119
To get from ten.

2464
08:23:17.040 --> 08:23:25.279
All the way down to one, that's your choice also

2465
08:23:25.560 --> 08:23:37.680
to do. So I'm going to count from ten.

2466
08:23:37.759 --> 08:23:46.720
Down to one, and when I get to one, that

2467
08:23:46.880 --> 08:23:48.400
will be the end of.

2468
08:23:48.520 --> 08:23:55.240
This recording, unless, of course, you're listening with music, and

2469
08:23:55.360 --> 08:29:27.400
the music will continue nine eight, twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten,

2470
08:29:32.159 --> 08:30:22.479
nine eight, seven, six, five, four, three two one. Now

2471
08:30:22.599 --> 08:30:33.200
open your eyes, noticing how you physically feel having counted

2472
08:30:33.240 --> 08:30:40.959
down from twenty to one, allowing stress and tension to

2473
08:30:41.200 --> 08:30:45.639
leave through your fingertips and your tails. And as you

2474
08:30:45.759 --> 08:30:51.200
focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel a little bit tingly,

2475
08:30:53.520 --> 08:30:58.680
which is I suppose quite an understanding, considering attention has

2476
08:30:58.759 --> 08:31:08.759
been exit in your body through your fingertips. So now

2477
08:31:08.799 --> 08:31:11.119
I'm going to count from twenty down to one again.

2478
08:31:11.599 --> 08:31:20.040
This time you're going to feel relief of tension and

2479
08:31:20.200 --> 08:31:31.080
stress and the anxiety that you may have leaving through

2480
08:31:31.159 --> 08:31:37.080
your stomach. Just leaving through your stomach, almost as if

2481
08:31:37.639 --> 08:31:44.080
it's just releasing the whole of your stomach. You'll navel

2482
08:31:45.560 --> 08:31:48.520
to just above your chest or below your chest, rather

2483
08:31:49.639 --> 08:31:55.040
so surrounding your belly button area, the whole area. You

2484
08:31:55.159 --> 08:31:59.599
can feel the tension of your body wherever it's left

2485
08:32:00.799 --> 08:32:05.439
releasing from the area, and you may notice that your

2486
08:32:05.520 --> 08:32:12.040
stomach will become very relaxed. As I countdown from twenty

2487
08:32:13.040 --> 08:32:55.880
down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen,

2488
08:33:00.040 --> 08:33:40.080
well eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six die four three

2489
08:33:44.599 --> 08:33:56.759
two what And you can open your eyes again if

2490
08:33:56.799 --> 08:34:00.400
you choose, but I can just keep them closed because

2491
08:34:00.439 --> 08:34:07.240
it feels relaxing. Just notice how your stomach feels. I

2492
08:34:07.360 --> 08:34:11.119
notice as your focus, just do a little scan of

2493
08:34:11.240 --> 08:34:20.400
your body. Just notice how your body feels, focusing on

2494
08:34:20.560 --> 08:34:27.520
your upper body, back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,

2495
08:34:30.599 --> 08:34:37.479
Just noticing, and you know, you may start to feel

2496
08:34:40.000 --> 08:34:43.759
more of a sense of tiredness, which may be the

2497
08:34:43.880 --> 08:34:49.959
reason you're listening to this according because you would like

2498
08:34:50.200 --> 08:34:59.599
to let go completely of everything and dread moth into

2499
08:34:59.720 --> 08:35:14.720
a nice, natural, calm, relaxing sleep. So now we're going

2500
08:35:14.799 --> 08:35:24.240
to focus on your forehead, and if you choose, you

2501
08:35:24.360 --> 08:35:29.400
can incorporate your eyes in this focus as well. Your

2502
08:35:29.520 --> 08:35:36.080
forehead and your eyes, it's that whole area basically almost

2503
08:35:36.119 --> 08:35:38.639
as if you were wearing a mask.

2504
08:35:38.479 --> 08:35:39.080
You know, like a.

2505
08:35:41.040 --> 08:35:46.439
I don't know, a Batman mask or something, or I'm

2506
08:35:46.520 --> 08:35:49.279
trying to zorro or something. You know, the kind of

2507
08:35:49.400 --> 08:35:52.479
mask that covers your eyes but also covers quite a

2508
08:35:52.520 --> 08:35:59.279
lot of the forehead. I'm focusing on that area because

2509
08:35:59.279 --> 08:36:02.599
that's the area that we're now going to release tension

2510
08:36:02.840 --> 08:36:08.360
and stress from your mind and your brain, from your mind,

2511
08:36:08.479 --> 08:36:12.720
and any tension that you may have remaining in your face,

2512
08:36:13.759 --> 08:36:19.080
in your neck and your jawl, your eyes, your forehead,

2513
08:36:19.880 --> 08:36:26.200
or your scalp. So basically any tension within your head area,

2514
08:36:26.919 --> 08:36:34.000
including your mind and your brain, and that's going to

2515
08:36:34.040 --> 08:36:42.279
be released through your forehead and your eyes. As I

2516
08:36:42.400 --> 08:38:08.880
count down again from twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

2517
08:38:14.479 --> 08:38:44.119
war three two on noticin and she scan your face, theture,

2518
08:38:44.720 --> 08:38:53.520
your eyes, the cheap ons, your ears, your forehead, your scalp,

2519
08:38:55.159 --> 08:38:58.840
your neck, the back of your neck, in the front

2520
08:38:58.919 --> 08:39:02.720
of your neck, the side of your neck, and the throat.

2521
08:39:09.000 --> 08:39:20.080
Noticing being aware of the comfort, increased fee in the relaxation,

2522
08:39:22.240 --> 08:39:27.119
not just in your head and neck and mind, also

2523
08:39:27.599 --> 08:39:37.080
the rest of your body. Just notice how loose and

2524
08:39:37.400 --> 08:39:41.080
calm you feel, and how easily.

2525
08:39:42.799 --> 08:39:44.360
It is to just let go.

2526
08:39:47.159 --> 08:40:11.400
Completely, let go completely, how easily. So what I'm gonna

2527
08:40:11.439 --> 08:40:15.040
do about is I want to focus on the top

2528
08:40:15.119 --> 08:40:15.720
of your head.

2529
08:40:21.159 --> 08:40:21.759
That am We're going to.

2530
08:40:21.840 --> 08:40:30.919
Allow every last piece of tension or stress that might

2531
08:40:32.159 --> 08:40:38.200
be lingering or hiding in your body or mind or head.

2532
08:40:39.520 --> 08:40:39.919
To just.

2533
08:40:41.639 --> 08:40:48.520
Be sucked out at the top of your head, released.

2534
08:40:51.759 --> 08:40:52.400
Into the air.

2535
08:40:53.520 --> 08:40:59.840
I'm wanta sucked out into the clouds. Imagine a big cloud.

2536
08:41:00.119 --> 08:41:00.959
Put your head.

2537
08:41:02.759 --> 08:41:07.919
Al it's like a whirlpool, and this can suck that tension.

2538
08:41:09.080 --> 08:41:13.560
Now at the top of your head and just take

2539
08:41:13.639 --> 08:41:14.400
it away.

2540
08:41:16.000 --> 08:41:16.599
The good.

2541
08:41:19.599 --> 08:41:23.720
Your focus. Imagine an opening the top of your head

2542
08:41:25.080 --> 08:41:30.360
with that tension and stress and in remaining issues may

2543
08:41:30.400 --> 08:41:33.119
be worries of concerns that have no.

2544
08:41:33.479 --> 08:41:37.360
Use to you. Now you can all be sucked down

2545
08:41:37.400 --> 08:41:38.799
at the top of your head.

2546
08:41:40.279 --> 08:41:46.240
And taken away. As I count down again from twenty

2547
08:41:46.639 --> 08:43:25.360
down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, nine, eight, seven, six.

2548
08:43:29.319 --> 08:43:50.240
Five, four, three, one.

2549
08:44:00.360 --> 08:44:16.400
Breathe. I'm noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm

2550
08:44:18.400 --> 08:44:30.360
you physically and mentally feel right now, how beeace or

2551
08:44:32.560 --> 08:44:39.279
your mind feels. It feels so nice to just let go,

2552
08:44:41.560 --> 08:44:50.840
to give yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly,

2553
08:44:55.680 --> 08:45:00.240
and just to take a break from all that wait

2554
08:45:00.319 --> 08:45:06.040
less worry and concerns about things that you don't need

2555
08:45:06.159 --> 08:45:16.560
to think about right now, because this is your time

2556
08:45:16.919 --> 08:45:23.279
to let go. This is your space to enjoy feeling

2557
08:45:24.639 --> 08:45:32.119
deeply relaxed, peaceful in your mind, relaxed in your body.

2558
08:45:35.279 --> 08:45:44.159
They can feel so good, so nice to just not

2559
08:45:44.520 --> 08:45:53.560
have to do anything, to be able to really enjoy

2560
08:45:55.279 --> 08:46:04.040
that serenity that comes of letting go completely, that peacefulness

2561
08:46:04.279 --> 08:46:21.840
that comes with m being in this peaceful space. And

2562
08:46:22.119 --> 08:46:27.080
you can keep this sense of calmness for as long.

2563
08:46:26.919 --> 08:46:27.959
As you choose.

2564
08:46:36.000 --> 08:46:41.720
If you choose to drift off into a deep, healing,

2565
08:46:42.119 --> 08:46:50.840
natural sleep, then you can do that. It's completely up

2566
08:46:50.919 --> 08:46:58.840
to you, and you can keep this feeling of calmness

2567
08:47:00.240 --> 08:47:06.200
cleaning in your mind as long as you choose to

2568
08:47:06.400 --> 08:47:21.680
feel completely relaxed, completely relax And I'd like you to

2569
08:47:22.200 --> 08:47:36.080
make up your mind that you're going to relax, and

2570
08:47:36.119 --> 08:47:39.360
I want to explore that with you. What it feels

2571
08:47:39.479 --> 08:47:46.319
like when you actually decide that you're going to relax,

2572
08:47:48.000 --> 08:47:54.599
not forcing yourself, but giving yourself that. Yes, it is

2573
08:47:54.680 --> 08:47:59.639
a command, really, isn't it When you're telling yourself relax

2574
08:48:01.840 --> 08:48:07.119
in a gentle but firm way that only you can

2575
08:48:07.240 --> 08:48:12.119
really tell yourself in that way. You can't really have

2576
08:48:12.240 --> 08:48:16.880
someone else saying to you now it relax, relax, you know,

2577
08:48:17.880 --> 08:48:21.119
and it needs to be gentle, But you can't someone

2578
08:48:21.159 --> 08:48:28.159
else can't really have the same the same kind of

2579
08:48:28.799 --> 08:48:37.759
influence or power that you have over your own physicality,

2580
08:48:38.560 --> 08:48:48.240
over how you feel, because when you say it to yourself,

2581
08:48:49.520 --> 08:48:56.479
it means more. It's personal, and your brain and your

2582
08:48:56.919 --> 08:49:04.000
unconscious mind and your body sens to what you say. So,

2583
08:49:04.279 --> 08:49:08.040
for example, we'll test it out. We'll do a little test,

2584
08:49:08.200 --> 08:49:11.799
a few little tests along the way, and you can

2585
08:49:11.919 --> 08:49:18.200
get more of an idea of the force, a positive

2586
08:49:18.400 --> 08:49:24.799
force that you can have in creating a sense of

2587
08:49:25.119 --> 08:49:30.119
comfort and relaxation in your body and your mind quite

2588
08:49:30.200 --> 08:49:42.840
quickly just by you telling yourself to relax. So I

2589
08:49:42.959 --> 08:49:50.159
want to start by's focus on your hands. So focus

2590
08:49:50.200 --> 08:49:52.840
on your hands and just tell your hands to relax.

2591
08:49:54.119 --> 08:50:01.040
Just say relax. As you focus on your hands, you

2592
08:50:01.200 --> 08:50:05.639
could say my hands are relaxed, or I want my

2593
08:50:05.799 --> 08:50:09.919
hands to relax. But I think if you actually do

2594
08:50:10.000 --> 08:50:18.040
it directly by focusing and imagining that your hands can

2595
08:50:18.279 --> 08:50:19.479
hear what you're saying.

2596
08:50:19.599 --> 08:50:22.599
You know, they've got little ears, which is a little weird.

2597
08:50:25.200 --> 08:50:36.080
So talking to your hands and just say relax nodicin

2598
08:50:42.200 --> 08:50:57.319
now your hands start to relax. Now, focus on your

2599
08:50:57.400 --> 08:51:01.520
eyes and tell your eyes to relax. You're just saying

2600
08:51:01.599 --> 08:51:08.680
the same word relax. And find the right tone for you.

2601
08:51:11.240 --> 08:51:15.639
You know, I might say relax, but you you might

2602
08:51:15.759 --> 08:51:23.080
say relax or relax. You know, you might say it

2603
08:51:23.240 --> 08:51:30.880
differently to yourself, and that's important for you to gauge

2604
08:51:31.159 --> 08:51:36.479
what feels right for you. To just tell your eyes

2605
08:51:37.720 --> 08:51:41.880
to relax, whilst focusing on your eyes, your eyelids, the

2606
08:51:42.040 --> 08:51:47.479
muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and just tell your

2607
08:51:47.680 --> 08:52:22.439
eyes directly relax now. Now I just did that myself.

2608
08:52:22.799 --> 08:52:32.599
And sometimes you may feel that you need a bit

2609
08:52:32.720 --> 08:52:38.439
more time for the different parts to relax, you know,

2610
08:52:38.560 --> 08:52:43.040
because I start talking again and maybe that part hasn't

2611
08:52:43.119 --> 08:52:46.319
relaxed fully. But what will happen is that we'll just

2612
08:52:46.439 --> 08:52:51.119
continue to relax even though I'm talking. And that's happening

2613
08:52:51.200 --> 08:52:58.400
with my eyes. Something else I noticed is when I

2614
08:52:58.479 --> 08:53:02.720
started focusing on my eye, that actually almost became they

2615
08:53:02.759 --> 08:53:05.520
got worse before they got better. In a way. So

2616
08:53:05.880 --> 08:53:09.000
I felt a degree of tension growing in my eyes

2617
08:53:10.639 --> 08:53:15.000
and then disappearing. So I think what that was really

2618
08:53:15.240 --> 08:53:21.119
was just me becoming more aware of the tension that

2619
08:53:21.319 --> 08:53:25.400
was already there that I wasn't. I wasn't focused on

2620
08:53:25.520 --> 08:53:33.080
it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging it or really

2621
08:53:34.680 --> 08:53:48.080
conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes is still continuing

2622
08:53:48.119 --> 08:53:54.639
to relax, as well as my hands. Actually, my hands

2623
08:53:54.680 --> 08:54:00.840
have got a certain kind of energy like buzzing, but

2624
08:54:01.159 --> 08:54:05.759
I can kind of fewer a degree of energy in

2625
08:54:05.840 --> 08:54:11.919
my hands. Maybe that's where the tension is being released.

2626
08:54:13.799 --> 08:54:23.599
Maybe that's causing that, and it's part I think we

2627
08:54:23.680 --> 08:54:24.639
should focus.

2628
08:54:24.400 --> 08:54:25.319
On the back of the neck.

2629
08:54:26.040 --> 08:54:29.959
That's a part which is quite often, or for me,

2630
08:54:30.439 --> 08:54:33.639
holds tension. I don't know about for yourself, but I

2631
08:54:33.720 --> 08:54:40.479
think it's quite a standard place where tension is sometimes held. So,

2632
08:54:42.599 --> 08:54:45.720
and I'm doing exactly what you're doing as you do

2633
08:54:45.840 --> 08:54:49.400
it as well, so I'm telling my body parts to

2634
08:54:49.560 --> 08:54:50.400
relax as well.

2635
08:54:51.159 --> 08:54:53.319
So if you tell your neck the back of your.

2636
08:54:53.279 --> 08:54:55.880
Neck, focus on the back of your neck and just

2637
08:54:56.000 --> 08:55:03.200
say relax in your own words, in your own tone,

2638
08:55:03.560 --> 08:55:06.400
in your own voice, you can say out loud, or

2639
08:55:06.479 --> 08:55:10.880
you can just say it to yourself internally, but you're

2640
08:55:10.959 --> 08:55:15.040
focusing and you're saying it literally to the.

2641
08:55:15.080 --> 08:55:17.840
Back of your neck, as if the back of your

2642
08:55:17.919 --> 08:55:24.880
neck can actually hear what you're saying. So do that now,

2643
08:55:25.080 --> 08:55:28.159
just say it lacks to the back of your neck.

2644
08:55:29.319 --> 08:55:30.200
And I did the same.

2645
08:56:09.000 --> 08:56:12.520
Now, what I noticed and you may have that similar

2646
08:56:12.599 --> 08:56:17.080
thing is even though I was focusing on the back

2647
08:56:17.119 --> 08:56:28.040
of my neck, other parts started to I don't know,

2648
08:56:28.400 --> 08:56:31.799
showed themselves to me, or maybe because they want to

2649
08:56:31.840 --> 08:56:35.720
be relaxed as well. But I started noticing the feelings

2650
08:56:35.759 --> 08:56:39.200
in my shoulders, attention in my shoulders and in my

2651
08:56:39.319 --> 08:56:46.520
upper back. Whether that was because my back of my

2652
08:56:46.680 --> 08:56:52.159
neck was saying, well, I'm pretty much okay. It's the

2653
08:56:52.319 --> 08:57:01.799
other parts that need attention, but my lobe, my back

2654
08:57:01.840 --> 08:57:05.639
of my neck is still relaxing. But I just became

2655
08:57:05.720 --> 08:57:12.040
more aware of other parts that needed attention. Now, this

2656
08:57:12.279 --> 08:57:17.159
might happen, and it's not. It doesn't mean that it's

2657
08:57:17.200 --> 08:57:21.560
going any wrong. It just means you're being notified of

2658
08:57:22.520 --> 08:57:25.639
more places that also want.

2659
08:57:25.520 --> 08:57:26.439
To feel relaxed.

2660
08:57:29.720 --> 08:57:32.680
So I'm going to focus on my upper back.

2661
08:57:34.000 --> 08:57:37.919
So you can do the same. Even if you don't have.

2662
08:57:38.080 --> 08:57:43.400
Any feelings of tension that are obvious in your upper back.

2663
08:57:45.360 --> 08:57:50.200
You just focus on your back and the whole area

2664
08:57:50.360 --> 08:57:54.880
from the shoulder blades down to the middle of your

2665
08:57:54.919 --> 08:57:59.200
back and the spine. And with me, it's more the

2666
08:57:59.279 --> 08:58:00.279
shoulder blade.

2667
08:58:00.040 --> 08:58:09.680
It's more, Yeah, that's the parts that really sort of

2668
08:58:10.599 --> 08:58:11.080
giving me.

2669
08:58:12.799 --> 08:58:13.119
That not.

2670
08:58:15.040 --> 08:58:17.479
That it needs relax. In the sounds to ask that

2671
08:58:17.639 --> 08:58:20.919
part to relax, and you can do the same.

2672
08:58:20.799 --> 08:58:48.080
Now relaxing up the back. Something strange happened there, And

2673
08:58:48.240 --> 08:58:50.680
this often happens.

2674
08:58:50.759 --> 08:58:51.439
I've been doing this.

2675
08:58:51.560 --> 08:59:02.560
For sixteen years or something, and often once eyed but amazed,

2676
08:59:02.599 --> 08:59:08.520
really bad. There can be a feeling. So when I

2677
08:59:08.680 --> 08:59:12.000
was focusing on the back of my neck, my op

2678
08:59:12.200 --> 08:59:17.080
back was starting to feel quite stressed and in need

2679
08:59:17.240 --> 08:59:22.560
of attention. As soon as I started talking to you

2680
08:59:22.840 --> 08:59:28.439
about my upper back and talking about getting ready to

2681
08:59:28.759 --> 08:59:33.520
ask the opper back to relax, why the back already

2682
08:59:33.639 --> 08:59:39.360
started to relax. It's almost as if it doesn't need

2683
08:59:39.560 --> 08:59:49.520
to hear the words, just needs attention, just needs to

2684
08:59:49.639 --> 09:00:02.040
be noticed. And that is something that often happens in

2685
09:00:02.959 --> 09:00:09.840
this type of situation is when you start to relax

2686
09:00:11.400 --> 09:00:14.720
a couple of parts of your body as we've done

2687
09:00:14.799 --> 09:00:19.360
with our hands, the eyes and the eyelids.

2688
09:00:20.599 --> 09:00:27.560
And now back of the neck, top of the bag,

2689
09:00:29.520 --> 09:00:30.040
up the back.

2690
09:00:31.360 --> 09:00:35.360
The rest of the body seems to just take notice

2691
09:00:38.080 --> 09:00:46.360
and decide in its own way to start relaxing. Other

2692
09:00:46.479 --> 09:00:56.319
parts of your body start to just become looser. I

2693
09:00:56.439 --> 09:00:59.119
suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche.

2694
09:00:59.279 --> 09:01:04.040
You know, the little ball starts rolling and before you

2695
09:01:04.159 --> 09:01:07.159
know it, the whole of your body is completely relaxed

2696
09:01:07.200 --> 09:01:23.880
and can't And if you focus on your face, you

2697
09:01:24.040 --> 09:01:31.599
focus on your eyes, your eyelids, your eyebrows, and the

2698
09:01:31.720 --> 09:01:40.319
muscles around your eyes, maybe you start to notice that

2699
09:01:42.080 --> 09:01:47.159
your forehead is more relaxed than it was. Maybe your

2700
09:01:47.240 --> 09:01:53.040
face is more relaxed. I would say my entire face

2701
09:01:53.240 --> 09:02:07.799
is a lot more relaxed than it was. So we're

2702
09:02:07.840 --> 09:02:13.599
going to focus now on your shoulders the game. Just

2703
09:02:13.799 --> 09:02:18.680
like before. Just tell your shoulders. I mean, you can't

2704
09:02:18.720 --> 09:02:20.720
do them in the digity. You can do the right

2705
09:02:20.799 --> 09:02:21.959
shoulder and the shoulder.

2706
09:02:23.520 --> 09:02:25.680
I just didn't do both at the same time.

2707
09:02:27.720 --> 09:02:30.959
Just tell your shoulders as you focus on them in

2708
09:02:31.040 --> 09:02:36.880
your mind, focus on how if you feel, maybe you

2709
09:02:37.000 --> 09:02:44.840
can see them in your mind's eye. Just tell your shoulders.

2710
09:02:48.040 --> 09:03:27.759
To relax as nice as they relax.

2711
09:03:38.279 --> 09:03:46.520
I didn't notice me, especially with my back. Is the

2712
09:03:46.720 --> 09:03:52.520
connection between the different parts, the back, the shoulders, the

2713
09:03:52.759 --> 09:04:02.840
neck being all connected and being such a large part

2714
09:04:02.919 --> 09:04:08.919
of your body, it's almost hard to separate them from

2715
09:04:08.959 --> 09:04:17.439
each other. And when luller back has started to relax.

2716
09:04:17.080 --> 09:04:27.959
On the same maybe I'm going too slow and that

2717
09:04:28.080 --> 09:04:32.479
could be an issue because we will go different speeds.

2718
09:04:34.720 --> 09:04:38.799
And the idea at the beginning of this recording was

2719
09:04:38.880 --> 09:04:41.400
for you to be able to just say to yourself,

2720
09:04:44.959 --> 09:04:57.720
relax without focusing on any particular part of your body.

2721
09:05:00.000 --> 09:05:06.319
Because when you know that turning your hands to relax,

2722
09:05:10.080 --> 09:05:18.439
then your hand relax. You tell your eyelids and your eyes,

2723
09:05:19.360 --> 09:05:25.880
the muscles around your eyes and your eyebrows to relax,

2724
09:05:29.680 --> 09:05:30.520
and they relax.

2725
09:05:36.319 --> 09:05:38.840
You tell the back of your neck.

2726
09:05:42.000 --> 09:05:58.080
To relax, and it relaxes. You tell your upper back

2727
09:06:04.759 --> 09:06:05.919
to lights.

2728
09:06:15.279 --> 09:06:17.080
In different axes.

2729
09:06:24.239 --> 09:07:04.000
The telia's shoulders. If they relax, and you told your

2730
09:07:04.080 --> 09:07:07.279
hands to relax, they relaxed.

2731
09:07:07.199 --> 09:07:10.720
And they continued to relax.

2732
09:07:16.559 --> 09:07:22.199
And you told your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

2733
09:07:23.239 --> 09:07:28.599
your eyebrows to relax, they relaxed.

2734
09:07:31.680 --> 09:07:33.639
And continued.

2735
09:07:34.480 --> 09:07:35.080
To relax.

2736
09:07:41.440 --> 09:07:45.080
And you told the back of your neck, focused on

2737
09:07:45.199 --> 09:07:51.160
the back of your neck and told it to relax.

2738
09:07:55.480 --> 09:08:10.480
They relaxed and continued h to relax. And you told

2739
09:08:10.599 --> 09:08:23.480
your alpa back to relax, be relaxed. He continued to relax.

2740
09:08:31.839 --> 09:08:37.360
That's what your shoulders, He told your shoulders to relax.

2741
09:08:37.720 --> 09:08:38.279
In your.

2742
09:08:40.959 --> 09:08:42.639
Shoulders relaxed and.

2743
09:08:43.120 --> 09:09:00.720
Continued to relax. And it's not just that, it's.

2744
09:09:03.319 --> 09:09:07.760
That the rest of your body has also been listening,

2745
09:09:09.440 --> 09:09:15.559
and their relaxation has been spreading. So from your eyes,

2746
09:09:15.879 --> 09:09:23.080
the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face.

2747
09:09:23.040 --> 09:09:26.440
Into your skin, into your jaw.

2748
09:09:35.559 --> 09:09:39.720
Into the front and sides of the neck, all the

2749
09:09:39.800 --> 09:09:41.400
way down your chest.

2750
09:09:41.400 --> 09:09:42.519
And stuffach.

2751
09:09:49.000 --> 09:09:55.400
Relaxed hands and shoulders, and it up through.

2752
09:09:55.319 --> 09:10:05.199
Your arms, relaxing the full heart, sure out elbows, your wrists.

2753
09:10:08.360 --> 09:10:08.839
Let you go.

2754
09:10:16.440 --> 09:10:25.080
With a lower back, the hicks static exploiting, and.

2755
09:10:25.440 --> 09:10:32.000
Just start to the necks of the tiny even comfort

2756
09:10:33.639 --> 09:10:42.519
spreading through your legs all the way down to your.

2757
09:10:42.480 --> 09:10:52.040
Ankles, the tops of your feet, the side of your.

2758
09:10:52.000 --> 09:10:55.760
Feet, and the bottoms of your feet.

2759
09:10:59.559 --> 09:11:00.559
Ya see.

2760
09:11:03.959 --> 09:11:05.040
In your toes.

2761
09:11:08.839 --> 09:11:19.199
Each tone relaxing because please.

2762
09:11:31.199 --> 09:11:49.480
And If your body relaxes more, your mind becomes slower, peaceful.

2763
09:11:56.680 --> 09:11:58.360
To the point where.

2764
09:12:00.199 --> 09:12:12.519
Did he choose to all asleep? He can't easily do

2765
09:12:12.720 --> 09:12:28.519
that easy d doing because there's nothing going on in

2766
09:12:28.599 --> 09:12:29.080
your mind.

2767
09:12:32.800 --> 09:12:44.000
The prays peaceful, the body.

2768
09:12:44.199 --> 09:13:17.040
Your teams rites, and with that connection between.

2769
09:13:16.839 --> 09:13:23.199
Your body relaxing, the word you say to yourself.

2770
09:13:25.160 --> 09:13:36.239
Relates means that you don't need to focus on just

2771
09:13:36.559 --> 09:13:44.120
one part. You can just focus on your entire body,

2772
09:13:50.639 --> 09:14:08.879
saying the powerful words and deserve.

2773
09:14:09.959 --> 09:14:13.160
Those the menia.

2774
09:14:14.400 --> 09:14:18.120
Sensations of comfort.

2775
09:14:19.440 --> 09:14:33.120
Spreading throughout your body, loosening and calming, and the.

2776
09:14:33.400 --> 09:14:45.800
Eating every part to your body eating more.

2777
09:14:48.519 --> 09:14:49.199
Relaxed.

2778
09:15:04.360 --> 09:15:07.319
All we need to do from now on is.

2779
09:15:07.559 --> 09:15:28.559
Just tell yourself nice beeing completely.

2780
09:15:29.559 --> 09:15:29.720
Now.

2781
09:15:43.599 --> 09:15:50.800
Starting now with number twenty.

2782
09:15:57.800 --> 09:16:33.440
Nineteen, I think seven six.

2783
09:16:50.279 --> 09:17:13.800
Six four.

2784
09:18:19.080 --> 09:21:53.360
Well statsassatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata.

2785
09:21:17.800 --> 09:25:24.760
Y attatatatatto.

2786
09:29:38.199 --> 09:29:45.239
One two.

2787
09:29:53.319 --> 09:30:01.599
Counts down from ten to one two no, eight.

2788
09:30:04.279 --> 09:30:07.279
Seven six.

2789
09:30:09.239 --> 09:30:12.360
Five four.

2790
09:30:15.080 --> 09:30:29.839
Three two one. And maybe that was a bit too

2791
09:30:29.959 --> 09:30:34.720
quick in order to relax. Maybe it's a too fast

2792
09:30:35.040 --> 09:30:43.839
for you to notice the calming of your body. Maybe

2793
09:30:44.680 --> 09:30:48.879
even a little bit of pressure there. You're counting down

2794
09:30:48.959 --> 09:30:51.400
from ten to one. What do you expect me to do?

2795
09:30:51.720 --> 09:30:51.919
Man?

2796
09:30:52.879 --> 09:30:57.400
Expect me to stick a flood just because you're counting down.

2797
09:31:03.120 --> 09:31:09.919
You try again, but this time, go this lower this time,

2798
09:31:11.120 --> 09:31:16.360
and you focus on the hoold of your body before you.

2799
09:31:16.519 --> 09:31:17.639
Focus on your legs.

2800
09:31:20.120 --> 09:31:31.000
Just notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed.

2801
09:31:36.480 --> 09:31:39.360
Every number that I count down.

2802
09:31:42.559 --> 09:33:23.400
Ten nine, at eight, seven, six, five, four, three, I

2803
09:33:23.599 --> 09:33:24.839
just notice.

2804
09:33:24.639 --> 09:33:29.800
How how you feel generally, how your body feels.

2805
09:33:36.440 --> 09:33:36.720
It is not.

2806
09:33:36.879 --> 09:33:38.440
Necessarily even about.

2807
09:33:39.839 --> 09:33:44.080
Yea counting down from.

2808
09:33:44.000 --> 09:33:44.760
Ten to one.

2809
09:33:47.720 --> 09:34:01.120
It's that space that you have, that space between being

2810
09:34:04.680 --> 09:34:08.720
active physically or mentally.

2811
09:34:09.599 --> 09:34:10.120
It's just.

2812
09:34:14.839 --> 09:34:17.959
Sitting and lying down, just being there.

2813
09:34:18.559 --> 09:34:24.000
Not doing anything, not saying anything or deeding to think

2814
09:34:24.120 --> 09:34:30.000
about anything. So I opens up a space, you know,

2815
09:34:30.199 --> 09:34:39.519
a bit of a space, the gap. And the more

2816
09:34:40.800 --> 09:34:44.040
I count down for the tents of morn, the bigger

2817
09:34:44.120 --> 09:34:53.160
that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness, of

2818
09:34:53.360 --> 09:35:08.800
comfort and relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves

2819
09:35:10.360 --> 09:35:20.319
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.

2820
09:35:27.080 --> 09:35:28.080
Allows you.

2821
09:35:30.720 --> 09:35:31.239
To just.

2822
09:35:34.239 --> 09:35:35.080
Slow down.

2823
09:35:38.279 --> 09:35:40.959
And someone to count again from ten down to one,

2824
09:35:41.400 --> 09:35:51.599
and notice that gap widening, the gap, and this it widens.

2825
09:35:51.680 --> 09:35:57.400
It's almost like the stress and attention falls.

2826
09:35:57.279 --> 09:36:13.400
Into the gap. It gives you that distance.

2827
09:36:14.919 --> 09:36:16.040
And space.

2828
09:36:27.879 --> 09:37:07.720
Nine eight, seven, six, five.

2829
09:37:18.760 --> 09:37:37.559
Four three.

2830
09:38:12.599 --> 09:38:30.879
What how did you know? What do you do? Now?

2831
09:38:43.639 --> 09:38:43.879
Can you?

2832
09:38:44.000 --> 09:38:47.319
Lets just say you didn't come.

2833
09:38:55.760 --> 09:39:22.879
See the light? Now?

2834
09:39:23.080 --> 09:39:45.480
Focusing the less als. I'm just gonna start with focusing

2835
09:39:46.279 --> 09:40:05.680
one of fis. Of course, it's not the most exciting

2836
09:40:05.800 --> 09:40:12.480
thing to be doing, because I'm sure like most of

2837
09:40:12.559 --> 09:40:14.800
your body is not not going.

2838
09:40:14.639 --> 09:40:15.160
On like that.

2839
09:40:24.319 --> 09:40:30.639
Just focusing on the hole of your thighs, the tops

2840
09:40:30.680 --> 09:40:36.800
of your finds, the side of the fines, the bottoms

2841
09:40:36.839 --> 09:40:41.319
of your thighs, the outer of dimes and inner does

2842
09:40:43.519 --> 09:40:47.480
basically the hole of your thie that leads into.

2843
09:40:47.279 --> 09:40:47.919
Your head.

2844
09:40:51.879 --> 09:40:54.040
And goes down to.

2845
09:40:56.559 --> 09:40:57.400
Me joint.

2846
09:41:02.360 --> 09:41:10.319
That this is a big area in the area that

2847
09:41:10.559 --> 09:41:16.040
is strong but with the strongest muscles in the body,

2848
09:41:16.680 --> 09:41:33.440
and a bias, I don't be greenerhas and give them

2849
09:41:33.480 --> 09:41:46.599
up potention to her by perhaps we do knowledge how

2850
09:41:46.720 --> 09:42:08.519
important that bids are to a bish, how much I

2851
09:42:08.680 --> 09:42:09.800

2852
09:42:13.680 --> 09:42:15.080
Won't your wives.

2853
09:42:21.839 --> 09:42:29.400
And I always see themself really real I do by arts,

2854
09:42:32.360 --> 09:42:33.599
especially our life.

2855
09:42:34.559 --> 09:42:52.559
The answer, let's be honest, not thank me.

2856
09:42:55.599 --> 09:43:22.519
Corrected boy, my mother be upso.

2857
09:43:17.239 --> 09:43:42.319
