00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:09.519
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. Well my name

2
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:10.160
is Jason.

3
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:11.199
What that was?

4
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:12.679
Oh?

5
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:13.080
Itchy?

6
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:18.719
Bum My name's Jason Newland. Police. Only listen to this

7
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:24.160
when you can safely close your eyes. And today is

8
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:31.280
Trivia Tuesday. Oh yeah, it's a nineteenth of August two

9
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:40.159
thousand and twenty five. I have already made a recording today,

10
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:46.200
but that was just a oh really itchy. The problem

11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.119
with having Vinnie cuddled up to me on the sofa

12
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:54.039
here is when I start scratching myself, you know, I

13
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.399
get itchy. Sometimes he doesn't like it and he jumps

14
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.520
off and he growls at me because I just disturbed

15
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:08.760
in So there you go. And so before we go

16
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.359
any further, I'm just going to quickly I realize I

17
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.640
can actually use my phone while I'm using it, while

18
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:23.480
I'm using it to record. So today's Trivia Tuesday question

19
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:35.640
or subject comes from Anne. Hello Anne, Everyone say hello Anne.

20
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:44.799
Altogether one, two, three, Hello Anne. Thank you for the recommendation.

21
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.920
So if you have an idea of what you would

22
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.920
like me to talk about next week's Trivia Tuesday or

23
00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:01.599
future Trivia Tuesdays, maybe just send me a message on

24
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:08.159
my website. Yeah, there's a contact form on my website.

25
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.879
Just just let me know what then you know what

26
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:17.159
you're asking for. I know, I I'm not necessarily going

27
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.680
to do the recording, you know. I mean today I'm

28
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.319
doing one and I'm thinking, I don't know if I

29
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:26.439
should do this subject because it's not m I don't know,

30
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.919
but I'm going to do I'm going to do it anyway.

31
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:36.400
It's about medical stuff, and yeah, I feel I'm not

32
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.080
going to do it because I'm just thinking it's probably

33
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.120
not a good thing to go to sleep with. Yeah,

34
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.039
all right, That's what I'm going to do. Is I've

35
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.360
changed my mind. I'm going to I'm going to basically,

36
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:59.240
Anne gave me a choice. I've changed my mind. Now

37
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:13.000
I'm going to focus on Teddy Bears. So I'm going

38
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:19.120
to do look through trivia facts about Teddy Bears. So, yeah,

39
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:25.680
what's going to be on dental and medical unusual medical

40
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:32.000
and dental instruments. But after looking through the list, it's

41
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:39.479
I don't know, it's none of it's particularly ear friendly

42
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.919
as it were, I don't think i'd want to really

43
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:48.879
hear that stuff, especially the oh the dental stuff. Oh no,

44
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:54.240
no thanks. So I'm going to do Teddy Bears. If

45
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.400
you go down do do with dody Ah. That song

46
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.400
is in my mind because when I was about nine,

47
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.199
I was on the Rolf Harris Show and my whole

48
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:15.120
score was and it's on YouTube actually that particular episode.

49
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.040
If you want the link, I can send it to you,

50
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.920
and I'm on it. I'm on it. But I'm like,

51
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:29.480
I'll say a little kid, And one of the songs

52
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.920
was you know if you go down to the woods today,

53
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.279
you sure have a big surprised. If you go down

54
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.639
to the woods today, you better go in disguise. For

55
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.439
every bed that ever there was or children today to day.

56
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.360
The deady bears have the pigicnic. And then there was

57
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.600
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts there they are

58
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.000
only now. And then there was another one Mad Mad,

59
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.560
Glory is mad. There's nothing quite like it for cooling

60
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.600
the blood. So follow me, follow down to the hollow

61
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:14.199
and they let us want inglorious Smart. They are the

62
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:20.759
three songs that I remember from that particular television episode

63
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:29.079
which I partiqued. So yeah, I did it recording this morning.

64
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.920
I woke up quite early, had an early night. I

65
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:33.639
could already do.

66
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:35.160
It.

67
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:46.240
I was connecked last night after going out and you know,

68
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.639
during the day. If you want to know what I

69
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.439
go up to yesterday, just check out my early recording.

70
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.600
I think I called it I had to go out

71
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:02.000
something like that. I had to go outside. So you know,

72
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.199
that's all the update of what happened yesterday today so far,

73
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.959
other than making and recording all the editing and processing

74
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.600
and uploading, I haven't really done a lot. I've been

75
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.160
asleep a lot of the day. I didn't feel very

76
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.600
well earlier. I feel much better now. I don't know.

77
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.560
I think it's just pretty a bit of stress in that.

78
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:31.399
But it's now four minutes to four pm in the afternoon,

79
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:43.000
and I've taken Vinnie out twice today so far, and

80
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.120
I have to do my forms for the PIP the

81
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.560
PIP form. I have to do that at some point tomorrow.

82
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:57.519
I think once that's done, I can kind of relax

83
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:08.639
a little bit. It's then, yeah, nothing else really is

84
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:15.160
going on, which is good. I've just I tell one

85
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:22.920
figure it's it confuses me a little bit. Okay, So

86
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.040
I've been doing this let Me Boy to Sleep podcast

87
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:35.800
since two thousand and eighteen. So was that nineteen, twenty four,

88
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.319
twenty five, so seven over seven years. I think I

89
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.319
started in March, so over seven years I've been doing these.

90
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:49.040
So let me boy to sleep recordings, and I'm up

91
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:55.959
to well. The last record, oh no, it wasn't. I'd

92
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.360
have to go outside. The last record I did this

93
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:05.160
morning was mental health review. Don't worry. It's not quite

94
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.720
as serious as it sounds. Not is no, not that's serious.

95
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:22.160
No o okay, but that was number MBYT. Yes, I'll

96
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.879
let me probably sleep number one thousand and four hundred

97
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:30.519
and fourteen. So this is number one thousand, four hundred

98
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:37.440
and fifteen, and probably about half an hour ago, maybe

99
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.879
twenty minutes ago, maybe even eighteen minutes ago, I was

100
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:50.440
online just looking for the best boring sleep recordings, and

101
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:57.159
I'm pretty much nowhere to be seen, and I just

102
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:02.399
I'm kind of I'm not sure why. I mean, I'm

103
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.320
not saying that I should be in the list of

104
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.559
the best, but I thought i'd be in at least

105
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.279
a top fifty if there was a list of fifty

106
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:20.360
sleep podcast or fifty boring podcasts. I don't know, I

107
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.240
thought i'd be in the top fifty. Is that egotistic?

108
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:30.759
I don't know. See, I wouldn't be surprised, right, it wouldn't.

109
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:32.960
It wouldn't surprise me if I was in no lists

110
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:42.600
like that, if nobody listened to my podcasts. But the

111
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:49.320
fact is people do listen to my podcasts every single day.

112
00:09:52.559 --> 00:10:00.799
So I'm like, okay, I'm confused. These These are not

113
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:07.000
statistics like the the top fifty. This is just websites

114
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.360
that have put down what they think of the top

115
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:14.039
podcasts for going to sleep too or for being bored,

116
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.720
and I just I don't It's like, oh, I don't.

117
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.919
I just don't know. I mean, I'm wondering those all

118
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.879
the ones that were listed are they Are they getting

119
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.720
as many views as me? Or are they getting loads?

120
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:42.360
Because according to when I go into my stats, and

121
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.519
I don't why, I'm not going to go into the stats,

122
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.440
you're safe. But when I look into it, how many

123
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:53.519
I'm getting, I'm in the top five percent of all

124
00:10:53.600 --> 00:11:00.320
podcasts in the world statistically wise as far as listeners.

125
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.519
So I was just like, why, whoa why is It's like,

126
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.399
no one knows about me yet people are listening. I

127
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:19.600
don't understand. I mean, on my oh okay, excuse me,

128
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:27.960
on my dashboard for all my podcasts on Spreaker since

129
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:32.480
twenty eighteen, bearing in mind I've had other podcasts as

130
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:36.399
well during that time. But I've got a total downloads

131
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:40.039
here of fifteen million, two hundred and ninety six thousand

132
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:45.480
and six hundred and four fifteen million, two hundred ninety

133
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.080
six thousand, six hundred and four with forty two total

134
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:53.200
live plays. They don't do live plays anymore for some reason.

135
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:07.519
And I'm just confused, used, confused, confused, confused. So yeah,

136
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:13.039
I don't know. I just want to I just want

137
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:17.759
to know what what's what? If you know what I mean?

138
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:20.039
That's why?

139
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:20.720
What a my?

140
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:28.039
What am I doing wrong? I mean, so far on Spreaker,

141
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.519
I've had two hundred and seventy five thousand and seventy

142
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:41.039
two downloads. That's on Spreaker. Spotify is a different, different

143
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:52.519
thing altogether. So you can add on another five thirty fifteen,

144
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.159
fifteen to twenty thousand a month added on to that

145
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:05.799
with Spotify in fact, since last year, I think, not

146
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:14.480
Spotify shop SoundCloud. That's what I meant SoundCloud. So if

147
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:18.200
I going to one of the soundclouds, so which one

148
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.279
comes up? This is Yeah, this is the main one

149
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:27.360
I got to I got the two different podcasts. I've

150
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:31.879
got Hypnosis A Sleeping Deeply, and there's the let Me

151
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:36.840
Boy to Sleep one. So today, so far I've had

152
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:42.480
one hundred and sixty three plays for the month five,

153
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:47.600
five hundred and ninety nine and then the other one,

154
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.000
so you know, mix them together. But if I look

155
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:58.679
for the last twelve months, it's actually not ty. It's

156
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:05.159
not told since September. Since last September, which was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

157
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.919
eight nine, ten. Well, yeah, it's literally this twelve months

158
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.120
is not now becaus August. So the last twelve months

159
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.480
I had four hundred and fifty one thousand, nine hundred

160
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:22.159
and forty plays on Soundclouds. I've actually had a lot

161
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:28.639
more there than I have on Speaker, But then I

162
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.240
spent quite a lot of time on SoundCloud, on Yah SoundCloud,

163
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.440
so I kind of I didn't use Speaker much for

164
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:44.080
a while, but for all time, because I also had

165
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:48.120
some time two thousand and four to twenty four, twenty

166
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:53.960
twenty three all time, two million, five hundred and seven thousand,

167
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.759
four hundred and seventy eight that's on that one podcast,

168
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.600
so probably that another million and a half on the

169
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.360
let me boil asleep. And the question, maybe from you,

170
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:12.279
is didn't you just say you weren't going to talk

171
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.919
about the stats? Do you just tell us we were

172
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.799
safe from hearing about the statistics? I did. I do apologize.

173
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:29.720
I'm not sorry, but I do apologize, you know. I mean,

174
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:35.000
I don't care, but I'm just apologize. See, it's nothing

175
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:40.919
to be worried about. Have I never talked about teddy

176
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.600
bears before? Should I give you a story about my

177
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:51.879
teddy bear? I had a teddy bear when I was

178
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.840
about eight seven eight years old. I know definitely at

179
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.679
eight because when I was eight years old, I went

180
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.360
to have when I was in hospital having my adenoids removed,

181
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.320
which is probably why I got such a wonderful calm voice.

182
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:14.399
I don't like that it might know, so yeah, that's

183
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.840
if I still have my adnoids, I probably would be

184
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:24.799
very very bunged up sounding. But that's not the reason

185
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.120
they were removed is because I was deaf in one

186
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:37.039
ear or partially deaf in one ear. So I had

187
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.159
my teddy bear with me and he was my best

188
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:49.320
friend and I felt safe when I cuddled him and

189
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:55.519
I slept with him in bed I might get myself

190
00:16:55.559 --> 00:17:00.879
a teddy bear, just someone to cut because Vinny don't

191
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.799
want to cuddle me. He cuddles up to me, but

192
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.039
he doesn't want me like put my arm around him

193
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.519
and like hugging him. Doesn't like that. But he will

194
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.599
like cuddle up to me and I can put my

195
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:15.839
arm on it. Like now I put my arm on

196
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.519
him and I can't stroke him, and he's fine with that.

197
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:26.440
In bed not so much. You know, it's he tried

198
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.680
to explain it to me the other day. He said, well,

199
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.640
when we're up and you know, i'm sun sety, I'm

200
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.720
not really sleeping. I'm just chilling out. But when I

201
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.640
come to bed, I come to sleep, not to be

202
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.640
fondled by you. And I said, Vinnie, the word fondled

203
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:46.640
is not the correct word in this situation. He said,

204
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.839
why not. Said, I'm not going to go into it,

205
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:56.200
but it's just cuddling. You're, you know, my my little puppy.

206
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.240
He said, I'm a big boy. Now, I'm not a puppy.

207
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.960
I said, this is still the same size as a puppy.

208
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:06.440
And that's when he just jumped off the bed, gave

209
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:10.279
me a very very dirty look and run out just showering.

210
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.440
You're not my real dad. He does it every now

211
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:18.880
and then that ten minutes later is like jumps on

212
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.079
the bed, prodded me. I said, what, Finn? He said,

213
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.319
can I have a treat? It's like, wow, I had

214
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:27.880
to get out of bed to give him a treat

215
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:38.640
rewarding his bad behavior. That's why he never learns, never learns.

216
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.319
It's not that I think I should be, you know,

217
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:52.000
in the top category of any I do sometimes in

218
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.680
the statistics, come up quite high in the rankings of

219
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.759
different categories and have done over the last you know,

220
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:05.640
twenty years, nineteen years at different times, especially like two

221
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:14.000
thousand kind of period two thousand and one. But it's

222
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.759
it just be nice. I don't know why websites they

223
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:20.880
and they just put these little lists together, and quite

224
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.960
often they just put the same podcasts in the same list,

225
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.559
and I don't notice, Like, am I invisible?

226
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:31.519
Am?

227
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.480
I know I'm invisible to women now, but I didn't.

228
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:36.519
Why do I got to be invisible to the internet.

229
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:46.400
It's not fair. So yeah, I think what happened to

230
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:49.960
my teddy bear is he was put in a washing

231
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:54.359
machine to get washed, which I didn't. I wasn't particularly

232
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:59.880
pleased with. But the washing machine ruined him. I don't

233
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:05.880
mean as in, you know, he didn't want to spend

234
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:07.880
told me anymore. He's wanted to stay with the washing

235
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.519
machine because he had so much fun. I didn't mean

236
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:18.240
ruined him in that way, but he was, Yeah, it

237
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:20.480
didn't do I mean, it's not going to do it.

238
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.799
You don't put a little Teddy Bear in a washing machine.

239
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:27.319
Come on, it's ridiculous. Completely. It would have been a

240
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:33.000
horrible for him. And so yeah, and I said, it

241
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:39.880
doesn't matter. I'm a big boy now I can. I'll

242
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:46.880
be all right. I'll be all right. And Sata went

243
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.960
upstairs to my room and a bit of a cry.

244
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:53.720
Then I.

245
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.319
Looked at the time realized I was late for work. Okay,

246
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:04.640
Teddy I didn't have any over Teddy. I was the

247
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.079
only Teddy Bear I ever had. I do believe I

248
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.839
didn't have any Teddy Bears when I was little that

249
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:16.720
I remember. I might well have added Teddy Bear when

250
00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:19.599
I was one. Two, I don't know three even I

251
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:28.960
don't know, but I don't remember them. So here's some

252
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:37.480
I've got a hundred trivia facts about Teddy Bears thanks

253
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:42.640
to Anne. Come on, everyone altogether one, two, three. Thank

254
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:49.279
you Anne for your trivia suggestion for Teddy Bears. Come on,

255
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:55.519
thank you. He's not playing along today, are you?

256
00:21:59.759 --> 00:21:59.799
So?

257
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:07.720
I didn't do Monday's Boring Objects yesterday. I apologize. I'm

258
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.119
not sorry, but I do apologize. I was intending to

259
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:18.599
do it, but I was so tired, and I kind

260
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:26.440
of feel a little bit that the routte that I

261
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:31.759
have been kind of organizing over the last year or so,

262
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.359
the routine of doing Q and A Friday, which I

263
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:39.839
didn't do on this Friday, just gone because I only

264
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:45.079
had one question. Oh great, never got someone in a

265
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:49.920
or a motorbike outside. I hope he's not going to

266
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:52.480
do that thing where he just keeps the motorbike going

267
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:57.960
for like three hours while he, I don't know, just

268
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.119
admires the saddle, maybe melts it. I don't know. I

269
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:04.839
don't know what he does dout there three house sniff

270
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.559
in his saddle. I don't know if that's I'm sure

271
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:12.440
he doesn't do that, but I'm not going to let

272
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:19.359
it stop me from doing a recording. Well though, yesterday

273
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.720
there was someone riding up and down the road really fast,

274
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:28.559
really loud, on a motorbike like about twenty times, up

275
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.599
and down, up and down, up and down. And the

276
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:35.279
kids around here that, let's face it, they don't look

277
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:39.400
when they cross the road. I mean I probably didn't either,

278
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:47.279
and this bike's going so fast. Some kind of I

279
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.400
think I saw the same person today because I didn't

280
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:54.039
see them, I could just hear them from here. It's

281
00:23:54.200 --> 00:24:00.519
very loud, it's very like rare like that. And I

282
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:06.160
heard what sounded like the same motorbike. So I waited,

283
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:08.160
and I just wait, you know, for what i'd watch

284
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.400
to see if it was And it was revving up

285
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.240
and it came past, and I just watched it go past.

286
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.000
I didn't recognize the person because you know, it pretty

287
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:19.680
much covered up other than just a little bit of

288
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:27.920
the face. I thought, okay, let's just wait here, see

289
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:30.640
if they come back past again, because it means it

290
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.359
probably is then that person that did it yesterday. And

291
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.960
they came past again, this time in heat. It might be.

292
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.839
A woman nodded at me, so I nodded back, you know,

293
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:48.599
and then they kind of it did it once morning

294
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.200
were gone, So I don't know. I just wanted to

295
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:52.920
see who it was.

296
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.279
I just.

297
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:01.079
So I'm okay, because I'm very very particularly I say

298
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:04.319
I'm okay, but generally I'm very meticulous when it comes

299
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.400
acrossing the road. I'm very careful, especially with this little one,

300
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:12.559
because he will just run out if he gets a chance.

301
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:15.960
And I've been trying to teach him the green Cross

302
00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:24.200
code for you know, nearly three years, three years and

303
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:28.440
four months, three years in four months, not and four months.

304
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.640
So in December, I'll have had him for three whole

305
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:40.000
long long to ask him. It's been very long, boring years,

306
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:48.079
three years, and he's still I'm sure he's still not

307
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:54.319
used to me yet. I'm yeah, it takes a while,

308
00:25:54.400 --> 00:26:01.680
I think, an acquired taste, as they say. So. The

309
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:08.839
Teddy Bear is named after the US President, Theodore Teddy Roosevelt.

310
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:20.920
Really though, really, the only reason I'm saying that is

311
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:25.759
because I'm pretty sure I've seen antique teddy bears from

312
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:32.400
hundreds of years ago. Maybe they didn't call them teddy

313
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:39.119
bears back then. I don't know, but I'm just gonna

314
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.119
some of this stuff may be true. It may be

315
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:49.160
absolute horsepoo. I don't know. Let's just assume it may

316
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.559
be true and may not. I'm going to read it

317
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:57.640
out anyway. So, as I say in previous recordings, try

318
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.559
not to get into a conversation or an argument with someone,

319
00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:05.119
and don't use these trivia facts that you hear me

320
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:09.240
tell you in an argument to back up your you know,

321
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.920
your point, because it might all be just complete drivel.

322
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:25.839
And maybe on that occasion if the subject of teddy bears, well,

323
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:27.400
first of all, do you really want to be getting

324
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:33.960
into an argument about teddy bears? And secondly, on this occasion,

325
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.559
if you do get into an argument about teddy bears,

326
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:41.799
you may choose to be happy rather than to be right.

327
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:47.000
You know, just just try it out. You might like it.

328
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:55.559
So apparently it all started. This is the origins and

329
00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:02.880
the history all started in nineteen two, after Roosevelt refused

330
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:11.319
to shoot a bear. Okay, I don't really know much

331
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:16.319
about that story. A political cartoon about Roosevelt's kindness inspired

332
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:24.519
the toy. Maurice Mitchen, a Brooklyn shop owner, made the

333
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:29.839
first Teddy's Bear. Oh so it wasn't called a Teddy bear.

334
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:37.799
It was called Teddy's Bear. And at the same time,

335
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:47.160
in Germany, Richard Steiffe or Stiffy Stiff stiff Stuve stuff

336
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:57.319
designed adjointed plush bear, so completely independent, but they probably

337
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:02.759
didn't call him Teddy. I don't know what a German

338
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:09.359
German version for Teddy would be. I don't know. I'm no,

339
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:10.920
I'm not going to do the accident. I don't know

340
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:19.799
what it would be and ask what's his name? What's

341
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:23.680
his name? That ah? If you know a German person

342
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:26.599
asked them. If this is a German person, listen, welcome

343
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:32.920
and what did you call what do you call teddy

344
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:40.640
bears in Germany? Maybe I could say put that out

345
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.480
to all countries. What do you call it teddy bear

346
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:49.240
in the country you live? And is it a different

347
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.759
name or is it just teddy bear in your language?

348
00:29:54.680 --> 00:30:02.519
If that makes sense, I think it does. Steiff bears, Oh,

349
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:06.359
they called them stiff bears, were displayed at the Leipzig

350
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:12.759
Toy Fair in nineteen oh three, and a US buyer

351
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:19.559
ordered three thousand stiff bears on the spot, and the

352
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:27.079
first stiffed Teddy bears had long, pointed snouts and the

353
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:35.480
earliest bears were stuffed with Excelsior wood shavings. Excelsior, isn't

354
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:51.119
that in a carrol? Oh? The little with Excelsior wood

355
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:59.839
shavings okay, collectibles and value some antiques. Stiff bears sulfur

356
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:10.319
about one hundred grand. What if my bear was an antique? Okay?

357
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:14.359
The most of the world's most expensive teddy Bear was

358
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.799
called Teddy Girl, sold for one hundred and seventy one thousand,

359
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:28.640
six hundred OUR dollars nineteen ninety four. Is it weird

360
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:42.079
that that's thirty nearly twenty nine years ago and there's

361
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:44.920
not been any other Teddy Bears sold for more than that.

362
00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:54.640
Wait a minute, Howard's once sold at Louis Verton teddy

363
00:31:54.680 --> 00:32:00.400
Bear for two point one million. So why does saying

364
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:04.240
the world's most extense expensive teddy Bear was was one

365
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:09.720
hundred and seventy one grand when right underneath this saying

366
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:12.920
that there was a Louis Vuton teddy Bear for two

367
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:21.319
point one million. That makes no sense. Collectors of Teddy

368
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:30.160
Bears called themselves atra files to be fair. I don't

369
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:35.720
think the word files really, I don't know. It just

370
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:41.160
doesn't sound right anymore against anything. So either it's a

371
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:44.960
rec nophile or he I don't know whatever, it's just

372
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.400
it just perhaps we just started getting rid of the

373
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:53.640
name the word piles par files spelled like piles with

374
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:59.960
an h per piles. It means Greek for bear lovers exactly.

375
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:08.599
It sounds dodgy, don't it. Some bears have while some

376
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:14.839
bears have passports and travel the world with owners. That

377
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:30.359
sounds ridiculous. Passports maybe as a joke, like a jokey passport,

378
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:38.079
but I'm pretty certain you wouldn't actually have to show

379
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:44.920
a passport when traveling abroad with a Teddy Bear. You

380
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:48.839
might have to let them scan the teddy Bear to

381
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:55.599
make sure that it's nothing weird inside on my washing

382
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:59.759
machines going, just in case it's not going, it's working.

383
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.839
Just started to just heard it go boo shaken a bit.

384
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:19.039
Limited edition bears often rise in value faster than gold. Wow.

385
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:26.360
I mean to be fair things that the less the

386
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:31.119
less of something, the more it is to be worth.

387
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:36.440
Maybe that's why my podcasts are just so worthless, because

388
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:41.719
there's too many of them. I make too many podcasts, that's.

389
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:42.000
What it is.

390
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:47.639
If I need one a month, one a year, one

391
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:55.679
episode every ten years, maybe it'd be worth something. Okay,

392
00:34:55.920 --> 00:35:05.440
what's over there? Oh, the rarest stiff bears have button

393
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:14.800
in ear trademarks. Button in the air. Okay, some collectors

394
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:20.159
ensure their Teddy Bears. Some collectors ensure their teddy Bear

395
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:26.800
collections like fine art. I wonder what the biggest Teddy

396
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:34.599
Bear collection in the world is. Hm. And before I'd

397
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:41.800
say that out loud, Beanie Babies briefly rivaled Teddy Bears

398
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:47.639
in collectibility. Yep, I remember that. Remember the cabbage Patch

399
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:53.440
dolls in the nineties they were so popular. I think,

400
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:58.039
cabbage Patch dolls, Wow? And then you god, the Telly Tubbies,

401
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:04.320
didn't you. They were really poppy as well. And celebrity

402
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:12.239
owned bears like Elvis's. Elvis Presley's fetched crazy prices at auction.

403
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:18.079
Elvis Presley had a Teddy Bear. I wonder how much

404
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:22.800
that was worth. I'd have thought something like that was

405
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.920
a bit squeaky, wasn't it. I'd have thought that something

406
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:30.360
like Elvis Presley's Teddy Bear would be cherished by the

407
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.800
family because he's still got his wife's still alive, and

408
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:43.519
he's still got grandkids, probably got distant relatives as well.

409
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:48.119
I thought that maybe that would be would probably be

410
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:51.840
in Graceland, wouldn't it the house that he used to

411
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:59.039
live in. So Winnie the Pooh was inspired by a

412
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:05.079
real Teddy Bear owned by A. A. Milneers Milner's son,

413
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:14.800
and Paddington Bear was named after Paddington Station in London. Really, oh,

414
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:21.920
I thought it was the other way around. I thought

415
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.519
Paddington Bear was like one hundred years old, two hundred

416
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:35.320
years old. Clearly not Rupert Bear. Ruper Rupert de Bear.

417
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:42.320
Everyone loves his name. His name is Ruper Rupert de Bear.

418
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:48.360
Everyone knows his name dere and they're glad that he

419
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:53.440
came something like that. Rupert Bear first appeared in a

420
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:59.880
British newspaper in nineteen twenty. And then you've got Smoky Bear,

421
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:06.599
the fire pretention, the fire Lili, the fire prevention mascot.

422
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:14.559
Smoky Bear was created in nineteen forty four. Then you

423
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:18.480
had the care Bears. The care Bears I forgot about.

424
00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:22.159
The care Bears were invented in nineteen eighties as greeting

425
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:27.840
card characters. Teddy rock Spin nineteen eighty five was the

426
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:35.239
first talking Teddy Bear. Why do I remember that Teddy Ruckspin.

427
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:41.360
Did he like say, Hi, I'm Teddy ruck Spin. Hi,

428
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:49.679
I'm Teddy Ruckspin. I'm Teddy ruck Spin. I'm sure it

429
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.320
did stuff like that. Did I have that little cord

430
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.760
that you pulled in the back of it, and they say,

431
00:38:55.280 --> 00:39:01.519
I'm teddy rasc raspin. I mean, yeah, I wonder what

432
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:05.960
else it said. I can't remember. I'm sure I saw one, though,

433
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:10.760
because the good thing about toys is even if I mean,

434
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.320
you know, as a kid, you can't have every single toy,

435
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:17.639
nor would I want every single toy, but I kind

436
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:20.360
of got to see most of the toys, even if

437
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:24.159
it was especially like girls stuff. I know it could

438
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:26.679
be controversial to say that, but back when I was

439
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:30.199
a kid, there was toys for girls and toys for boys,

440
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:34.360
and then ones that kind of both were allowed allowed

441
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:40.599
both would play, and the girl next door shared a

442
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:43.800
lot of girls stuff. And I had cousins that had

443
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:47.719
female cousins that had stuff. So I got to see

444
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:51.519
some of the not in ninet eighty five, but before

445
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:55.280
that got to see some of the different things, but

446
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:58.760
also other friends that I had at school, I'd see

447
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:02.239
stuff that they had. Again, not nineteen eighty five, because

448
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:05.119
I had left school by that point, was nearly left school.

449
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:09.960
I left in nineteen eighty six, so I wasn't buying bears.

450
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:16.440
But my little brother in nineen eighty five was seven,

451
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:21.639
So he might have had a Teddy Ruckspin Teddy bear.

452
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:24.960
Now I would ask him, but he probably doesn't want

453
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:34.960
to talk about it. He's probably forgotten. And twenty seven okay,

454
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:42.760
mister Bean's Teddy, simply called Teddy is iconic worldwide, and

455
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:49.079
in Japan, Kawai culture made Teddy Bears super popular again.

456
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:54.960
I'm not quite sure what that is. All build a

457
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:58.440
bear workshop lets kids design their own teddies. We have

458
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:01.920
one of those in this town. I've never been in

459
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:04.760
a build a Bear workshop. I don't think I might

460
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:12.119
have done. Did I? I don't think I have. I

461
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:15.039
think I might have done. Actually, like twenty five years ago,

462
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.880
I might have gone in there with with someone. I'm

463
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:23.719
not sure. I think I might have done briefly, just

464
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:27.400
to have a look. No, I don't think I would

465
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:33.840
have done, would I? It's possible. In two thousands, a

466
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:44.039
Teddy Bear was sent into space. Brilliant. Why when they

467
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:48.840
said sent into space, it was just released into space?

468
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:56.960
Do they really spend all that money launching a rocket

469
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:01.719
to send a Teddy Bear into space? That's a lot

470
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:06.519
of money. Each one of those rockets must cost at

471
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:11.920
least two or three thousand pounds to send up. You know,

472
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:19.079
funning quirky bits. Okay, these are funning quirky bits. The

473
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:24.239
world's smallest teddy is only five millimeters tall. It's not

474
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:29.679
small five millimeters. They really don't know. What's the world's

475
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:34.119
largest teddy is over sixty three feet and it's in Mexico.

476
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.880
I mean really, I mean that is massive. Let's face it,

477
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.880
sixty three feet. I mean that's the size of a building,

478
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:48.920
isn't it pretty much? In fact? No, that's sixty three feet.

479
00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:57.039
That's like a is that a tower block? Maybe? Maybe

480
00:42:57.079 --> 00:42:59.159
they built it. They just put the little the world's

481
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:04.920
they put another teddy bear on its head with a

482
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.480
little in a little hat, maybe with a spring. So

483
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:11.320
when he had finished building the one in Mexico sixty

484
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:15.760
three feet long tall wether, they just released the other

485
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:17.679
one from the hat and it just pushed it into

486
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:21.239
space because only like another few feet away. Wasn't it

487
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:27.360
to be in space? Yeah? I went to school, you see,

488
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:33.599
I know a lot about space. Some teddy bears come

489
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:43.199
with building heartbeats for comfort. Okay, it's comforting, great, but

490
00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:46.960
what about when the batteries run out? I imagine the

491
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:53.079
feelings a lot different from comfort. You know, you little

492
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.440
kids like, oh, it's comforting, I can feel it. Then

493
00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:01.199
you wake up like, aha, the heartbeat stopped. It's just

494
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:09.559
the batteries. Don't worry some teddy bears. Okay, a teddy

495
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:12.760
bear once parachuted from a plane as a stunt. No,

496
00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.199
a teddy bear was chucked out of a plane with

497
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:22.119
a parachute on The teddy bear didn't parachute out on

498
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:28.440
his own. Come on, ridiculous. Teddy Bears don't do stuff

499
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:35.440
like that. They're scared of heights. A soldier in WW

500
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:46.519
one carried tiny teddy bears in their pockets. Okay, it's

501
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:50.639
a bit random, isn't it. Some teddy bears are designed

502
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:57.400
with hot water bottles inside. Good idea. It's a very

503
00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:02.760
good idea. In fact, it's possibly the best idea that's

504
00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:08.880
ever happened ever anyway, any anywhere in the world. Because

505
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:14.199
you're going to have the teddy bear, you know, in

506
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:18.559
your bed, and you want to feel warm and cozy,

507
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:25.679
have it inside the teddy bear. It makes sense. The

508
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:27.559
problem is, when I was a kid, I actually thought

509
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:31.039
my teddy bear was alive. So the idea of like

510
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:33.559
opening it up and putting a big hot water bottle

511
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:36.880
inside him. Didn't really you know, wouldn't have I wouldn't

512
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.719
have liked that. Would you done to him?

513
00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:40.960
You know?

514
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:44.639
Bad enough? You keep sticking him in a washing machine?

515
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:49.840
And some teddy bears Okay, teddy bears are banned in

516
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:55.199
some hospitals for carrying germs. What about the nurses? Then?

517
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:59.719
What about all the other patients? The visitors. Visitors aren't

518
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:02.480
bad and they got following more germs and a teddy

519
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:07.840
bear that have Leave the teddy bears alone. I've seen

520
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:11.719
I'm not being horrible about care workers, but I've seen

521
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:15.800
and you must have seen this as well, right, care

522
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:25.320
workers walking to work with their uniform on. Okay, their

523
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:30.039
uniform already on, and they're getting on a bus, getting

524
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:36.159
on a train, walking down the street with their uniform,

525
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:42.159
with their you know, like you know, t all about germs.

526
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.039
They don't get to hospital in their normal clothes, or

527
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:48.880
some of them might, but it's not this big, absolute

528
00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:55.400
like zero germ area where everyone gets undressed and gets

529
00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:00.639
sprayed down with disinfectant like in the movies or ET

530
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:05.519
or whatever. Going back a bit and I and you know,

531
00:47:05.760 --> 00:47:07.760
or like in space movies, you know, when they go

532
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.400
in and they get all like washed off so that

533
00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:13.480
they can be germ free, and then they get put

534
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:19.360
into their new clothes and they're you know, no germs

535
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:25.079
are going in our hospital all the time. Man's leave

536
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:29.079
the teddy bears alone. That's all I'm saying. You know,

537
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:33.400
I'm not choosing teddy bears over care workers, because obviously

538
00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:38.360
care workers are so important and they're amazing. Not having

539
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:40.519
to go to care workers. I'm just saying, you know,

540
00:47:41.079 --> 00:47:43.440
if we're going to go on about germs, leave the

541
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:47.199
teddy bears alone. That's all I'm saying. I'm just sticking

542
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:49.960
up for the teddy Bears. I'm not in any corner

543
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:52.800
except that I am in the corner of the teddy Bears,

544
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:55.679
not having to go at nurses or doctors or anything

545
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:58.920
like that. But leave the teddy bears alone. That's all

546
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:04.480
I'm saying. Okay, you know, if you I'm one million

547
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:08.840
percent behind doctors, nurses, care workers, the cleaners in hospital,

548
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:15.039
everyone in hospitals, you know, it's amazing. We are so lucky.

549
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:21.400
Anyone that has a hospital is lucky. It's very fortunate

550
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:23.519
that there's people that are willing to do that work.

551
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:27.760
You know, from my heart genuinely, having spent the last

552
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:31.559
or six weeks in and out of hospital visiting someone,

553
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:39.440
you know, they are angels. However, if you mess with

554
00:48:39.559 --> 00:48:44.239
Teddy Bears, that's the line I won't cross, and I

555
00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:47.639
won't allow anyone else to cross either, because I choose

556
00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:51.480
a Teddy Bear over doctors every time, and as of

557
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:54.000
course I was in the hospital, then I'd probably choose

558
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:58.039
a doctor, you know, basically. But you know, I'm just saying,

559
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.159
leave the Teddy Bears alone. That's all I'm saying. In

560
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:07.599
all I'm trying to say, and it's becial, not even

561
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.599
just for kids. I mean, come on, taking away kids

562
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:16.079
Teddy Bear when they're in hospital just seems wrong. But

563
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:22.159
taking away anyone's Teddy Bear when they're in hospital, you know,

564
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:29.559
it's just come on, leave the Teddy Bear alone. So

565
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:33.519
that was a reference from the wanderers in case you're wondering,

566
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:38.119
In case you're wondering, Teddy Bear is a band, Okay,

567
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:43.599
Queen Elizabeth the Second had a Teddy Bear collection into adulthood.

568
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:49.400
Why are you mocking Queen Elizabeth? See clearly this is

569
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:56.119
like an anti royal place. The queen is my finger.

570
00:49:57.400 --> 00:50:00.719
The Queen who's now passed now got king. But the

571
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:05.599
queen can do what the queen wants to do. That's

572
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:12.440
as simple as that. Leave the queen, leave the queen alone.

573
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:18.920
So leave her alone and her teddy bear collection. Stop

574
00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:22.239
picking on the queen and her teddy bear collection. Or

575
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:24.519
she had them into adulthood, so what.

576
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:27.000
So what.

577
00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:30.800
Was she not allowed to have teddy bears?

578
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:31.000
Now?

579
00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:35.159
Is it against the law? I don't know. Is this

580
00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:39.320
somewhere in religious scriptures that says teddy bears are not allowed?

581
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:45.199
Not allowed? No, leave the teddy bears alone and leave

582
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:50.880
queen alone. It's weird because you know, being my age now,

583
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.480
there's only ever going to be one queen. I know,

584
00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:55.719
there's been loads of queens in the past and be

585
00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:58.679
loads of queens in the future. Only one queen in

586
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:07.360
my life. That's it. Queen Elizabeth's ID or was it

587
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:11.400
the third? I don't know whichever queen we had throughout

588
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:17.039
the entirety of my life. That's the thing. Until like

589
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:23.679
three years ago she was was it three years two

590
00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:26.960
years ago? Wow? I don't know. However long years ago,

591
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:35.800
three years ago she was the Queen ka Easy. Michael

592
00:51:35.880 --> 00:51:43.199
Jackson reportedly owned over one hundred Teddy Bears. Yeah, should

593
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:49.079
we move on? It's like yeah, but they weren't all

594
00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:53.000
for him. It's like, okay, yeah, should we still move on? Elvis?

595
00:51:53.400 --> 00:52:01.360
I mean, yeah, Elvis Presley gifted Priscilla a giant teddy Bear. Okay,

596
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:15.840
leave Elvis Presley alone and Priscilla. I imagine he probably

597
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:20.119
had to have it purposely made because they were married

598
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:25.280
in the fifties, weren't they And I don't know if

599
00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:29.639
I was still married in the sixties as well, but

600
00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:34.440
I reckon in them days you had to have them made. Specially.

601
00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:44.360
Did Priscilla Presley live in Graceland with Elvis all the

602
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:50.159
time or did she move out when they parted? I

603
00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:50.519
don't know.

604
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:55.159
Oh.

605
00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:59.880
Look, Teddy Bear days and events. September ninth is nat

606
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:04.559
or Teddy Bear Day in the United States, and October

607
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:11.079
is National Teddy bed Day in the UK. I've got

608
00:53:11.159 --> 00:53:15.679
nothing to say about that. It's like, why teddy Bear

609
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:24.360
picnics are celebrated worldwide? Really they're not. I don't This

610
00:53:24.559 --> 00:53:29.559
is my first knowledge of that. I've never mean, I've

611
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:32.280
heard about the Teddy Bears if you can go the

612
00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:36.079
Teddy Bears, I have in the I've heard the song,

613
00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:39.519
but I've never seen it in reality. I've never walked

614
00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:43.039
through the woods and seen teddy bears well, you know,

615
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:48.159
sitting on a big blanket with a basket full of

616
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:54.719
stuff that they wouldn't normally eat, sitting around uncomfortable, Wish

617
00:53:54.800 --> 00:54:00.679
they had had chairs, wish had stayed at home. You know,

618
00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:07.400
I've never seen that. Australia has an annual Teddy Bear's

619
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:13.360
Picnic Day, Guinness World Records has multiple Teddy Bear categories,

620
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:23.840
and Germany holds Teddy Bear festivals. Sebastian wonder what Sebastian

621
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:24.719
has to say about this?

622
00:54:26.400 --> 00:54:26.480
Now?

623
00:54:26.559 --> 00:54:28.880
I know Sebastian is not the only person that listens

624
00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:32.679
to me from Germany, but he's the only person I've

625
00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:38.679
ever had contact with that I know of, and he

626
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:45.559
imagine he knows everything about children's toys. Some charities hold

627
00:54:46.119 --> 00:54:51.559
host Teddy Bear hospital events for children, and in Finland

628
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:55.480
there's a Teddy Bear museum with one thousand plus bears.

629
00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:05.440
Oh Denmark has a dedicated Teddy Bear art gallery. Amsterdam

630
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:09.679
has a gallery as well, has a museum and it's

631
00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:15.039
full of wit. No, it's not bears, Okay, let's move on.

632
00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:26.639
Japan hosts teddy Bear exhibitions mixing fashion and bears. Okay,

633
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:30.960
all right, cool, this is going well. A teddy bear

634
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:37.679
once survived what a teddy bear once survived the Titanic sinking?

635
00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:42.159
It was owned by a child. I don't know why

636
00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:45.639
to put that in brackets? Is sure it wasn't a

637
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:51.880
captain's one? No, sure it wasn't. Actually it was driving

638
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:55.400
the ship. That's why it's sunk. Don't put up teddy

639
00:55:55.440 --> 00:56:02.360
bear in charge of a very shit thing. There's a

640
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:04.840
way to put it. A teddy bear once survived it

641
00:56:04.960 --> 00:56:06.480
was not going to survive it twice?

642
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:06.760
Is it?

643
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:21.920
Some WW one soldiers believed teddy bear has brought luck? Yeah?

644
00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:26.760
I wonder how many thought that after the war if

645
00:56:26.800 --> 00:56:32.000
they just I wonder how long they thought that. How

646
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:36.320
many people were in hospital just like shouting at their

647
00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:43.800
teddy Bears. In nineteen twenty four, a teddy bear ran

648
00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:48.119
for mayor of Oxford as a joke. No, a person

649
00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:52.920
ran a teddy bear for mayor of Oxford, and a

650
00:56:53.000 --> 00:57:00.760
teddy bear can't do on its own, can it? NASA before? Wow,

651
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:03.400
I'm surprised so allowed to get away with that. Things

652
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:05.360
were a lot more serious back then, as far as

653
00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:10.760
I know, NASA astronauts have flown teddy Bears into all

654
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:14.639
but that's kind of been covered already, isn't it. A

655
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:17.199
teddy Bear was the first toy ever taking. Yeah, but

656
00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:20.239
you were talking about the space thing. Are you talked

657
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:25.480
about that? Some teddy Bears have built in cameras for security,

658
00:57:26.800 --> 00:57:31.119
and I don't know what else that's got. It's kind

659
00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:38.400
of a good idea. And also, m I did think

660
00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:44.440
about putting a spy camera into uncle's sausages, he said,

661
00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:49.000
hotel room, the hospital room, because he was really saying

662
00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:52.559
stuff that people were kidnapping him. I know they weren't,

663
00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:57.360
but I still like I had this kind of just

664
00:57:57.800 --> 00:58:01.840
maybe it was loud, wasn't it. Dog's barking very loudly,

665
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:06.840
normally barks for a few times before it stops. Never

666
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:12.079
used the bark at all until it moved in. In

667
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:17.000
two thousand and eight, a British teddy Bear was kidnapped

668
00:58:17.079 --> 00:58:25.920
by pirates. True story apparently. I don't know. I'm just

669
00:58:26.159 --> 00:58:33.079
I don't know. That just doesn't sound that sounds weird. Yeah,

670
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:39.639
I mean, if a teddy Bear was used with built

671
00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:42.800
in cameras for security, does that mean that they would

672
00:58:42.840 --> 00:58:46.760
be called up in a trial. They'll be put on

673
00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:53.840
the stand and questioned, just a question. Chernobyl has abandoned

674
00:58:54.000 --> 00:59:01.119
teddy bears. Still Chernobyl had abandoned te Oh god, that's that's,

675
00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:04.760
That's why I don't stop it. Some teddy bears are

676
00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:13.039
made with alpaka fur instead of mohair. H Teddy bears

677
00:59:13.079 --> 00:59:17.079
have been used as therapy tools since w W one.

678
00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:22.880
I mean just cuddling something that doesn't pull away from

679
00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:25.039
you like this little one. He pulls away from me

680
00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:29.639
and growls and bites me if I try and cuddle him. So,

681
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:33.519
I don't know how I ended up with a dog

682
00:59:33.639 --> 00:59:42.400
that is just so doesn't like intimacy like cuddling. But

683
00:59:42.519 --> 00:59:45.159
some dogs absolutely love being cuddled. That's all they want

684
00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:47.480
to do is sit on the lap and be cuddled.

685
00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:50.639
I don't want him one man app all the time,

686
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:55.400
but it'd be nice to have like a little cuddle.

687
00:59:56.159 --> 00:59:59.039
And although he is cuddled up to me and I

688
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:01.679
have got my arm on and I'm stroking in my hand,

689
01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:05.920
I'm just you know, it's not the same as a

690
01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:13.400
proper cuddle. I don't know. Maybe I expect too much

691
01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:17.800
of him. The world's biggest Teddy Bear collection belongs to

692
01:00:18.039 --> 01:00:25.360
Jackie Miley over eight thousand, and the tallest Teddy Bear

693
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:31.519
ever made stands taller than a giraffe. Teddy Bears have

694
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:36.840
been made from denim, leather, and even gold thread. And

695
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:41.599
some Teddy Bears have diamond eyes. Wow, mind didn't.

696
01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:43.320
So.

697
01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:49.440
The first animated film star Teddy was The Teddybears nineteen

698
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:53.639
oh seven, Teddy Bears appearing over one hundred feature films.

699
01:00:55.280 --> 01:01:02.480
There's a first Teddy Bear museum opened in Petersville Field, Petersfield, UK,

700
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:08.159
nineteen eighty four. And that what There are hotel Teddy

701
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:14.679
Bear hotels in Japan where kids bears get pampered. Wow,

702
01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:21.239
yeah cool? I mean yeah, I don't know. A Teddy

703
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:25.280
Bear once completed the London Marathon strapped to a runner.

704
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:30.119
I mean technically they're saying that, but what about how

705
01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:35.239
many bits of chewing gum? You know, whatever is in

706
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:38.760
your pocket if you're doing a marathon has also completed

707
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:45.159
the marathon. So a pair of socks, underpants, used condom,

708
01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:47.639
I don't know whatever that's in your pocket or on

709
01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:54.599
your foot, you know, a necklace, a brasier, a thong,

710
01:01:56.199 --> 01:02:01.760
a hat, a wig, nell parley polish now varnish or whatever.

711
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:13.199
Fake nails, fake eyelashes, piercings, you know, just like ear

712
01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:17.880
rings or nipple rings or nose rings or whatever. You

713
01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:21.440
could just change Teddy Bears for any of those things

714
01:02:21.519 --> 01:02:25.559
and say a piece of chewing gum. Once completed the

715
01:02:25.639 --> 01:02:30.760
London Marathon, strapped to a runner or a cough cough

716
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:36.280
tablet or I don't know what kinds of things people

717
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:40.320
a bag of feathers. I don't know what people take.

718
01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:49.039
I mean, probably not a barbell, because you don't want

719
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:52.840
to take weights with you. Ankle weights. Yeah, probably that's

720
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:56.960
never been used in a marathon. I imagine. I used

721
01:02:57.000 --> 01:03:00.480
to have ankle weights when I was a kid. I

722
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:03.440
used to use them when I was practicing kicking, and

723
01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:07.599
also when I used to go running, And it was

724
01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:10.480
weird because I'd go running in them and then I'd

725
01:03:10.599 --> 01:03:14.320
take them off and I'd float away. It was funny.

726
01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:21.400
Early Teddy Bears had real bear claws as accessories. I

727
01:03:21.519 --> 01:03:27.320
don't know why why. Some nineteen hundreds bears were filled

728
01:03:27.360 --> 01:03:33.239
with sawdust, and certain Teddy Bears squeak instead of growl.

729
01:03:34.519 --> 01:03:37.039
I didn't have my Teddy Bear didn't make any sounds.

730
01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:47.679
German Steve bears originally had shoe button eyes, and safety

731
01:03:47.719 --> 01:03:54.559
plastic eyes didn't appear until the nineteen fifties. Some teddy

732
01:03:54.599 --> 01:04:00.599
bears had real horse hair stuffing, and growler Bear made

733
01:04:00.639 --> 01:04:08.639
a roaring sound when tipped that sounds familiar. Turning the

734
01:04:08.679 --> 01:04:13.920
bear upside down so it growls might not can do

735
01:04:13.960 --> 01:04:17.559
that with Vinnie's got to pick him up and he growls.

736
01:04:19.079 --> 01:04:25.599
Inflatable teddy bears were once soldiers, travel companions, oh and

737
01:04:26.639 --> 01:04:34.280
WW two bears were made from recycled uniforms. Blimey. Some

738
01:04:34.480 --> 01:04:40.840
teddy bears are knitted instead of sewn, so this section

739
01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:46.239
is global love. In Russia, teddy bears are considered symbols

740
01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:52.719
of strength. In Japan, teddy bears are given to brides

741
01:04:52.760 --> 01:04:58.559
for luck, and in China teddy bears are exchanged as apologies.

742
01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:10.960
France has luxury teddy bear courtiers, and in Germany stiff

743
01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:18.239
bears are seen international icons. South Korea has a teddy

744
01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:27.719
bear museum in jew Jedju Island, and some African tribes

745
01:05:28.400 --> 01:05:31.920
carved teddy bear like figures from wood. Not as cuddly

746
01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:34.559
though when it's in wood is it not quite as cuddly.

747
01:05:36.119 --> 01:05:38.480
In the Middle East, teddy bears were banned in some

748
01:05:38.679 --> 01:05:43.599
places as Western toys not a Western toy.

749
01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:45.079
No.

750
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:53.760
In Sweden, teddy bears are often given at graduations, and

751
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:59.679
in Mexico, giant teddy bears are parade floats because that

752
01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:05.519
was where the biggest sixty two feet or inches, wasn't

753
01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:10.039
it the biggest one ever in Mexico? So this is

754
01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:16.119
the last ten strange facts. In nineteen twenty six, According

755
01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:19.719
to this, a teddy bear saved a child by cushioning

756
01:06:19.840 --> 01:06:24.880
a fall. Wow, how big was the teddy bear or

757
01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:29.079
how small was the child? Because that it'd have to

758
01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:31.920
be quite a lot bigger than a person wouldn't to really,

759
01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:37.960
I don't know. Well, I'm glad anyway, I'm good. Good.

760
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:41.719
A teddy bear once got knighted in a school ceremony.

761
01:06:42.679 --> 01:06:47.599
I'm not sure it's really valid though, getting knighted at school.

762
01:06:48.679 --> 01:06:52.159
You know, even as a human. You know, if I

763
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:56.119
got knighted in a school ceremony and I was called

764
01:06:58.159 --> 01:07:07.719
sir or or knighted, I probably wouldn't be walking around saying, yeah,

765
01:07:07.800 --> 01:07:15.719
my name's sir, Lancelot Jason or whatever, like no, lord,

766
01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:21.360
my name's Lord JJ, when did that happen? When did

767
01:07:21.400 --> 01:07:25.480
you get When did you get knighted? I was fourteen,

768
01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:31.000
and it was during a very quiet period, the last

769
01:07:31.000 --> 01:07:34.079
week of school, and I was bored. We were all

770
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:38.400
very bored, so we united each other in a school ceremony.

771
01:07:39.199 --> 01:07:43.119
So please from now on call me Lord. That would

772
01:07:43.119 --> 01:07:45.920
be the end of that conversation, wouldn't it. In fact,

773
01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:50.639
I would hasten to add, it's just a guess that

774
01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:57.480
the job application would be unsuccessful. So some hospitals let

775
01:07:57.679 --> 01:08:03.199
kids dressed teddy bears in surgical scrubs. I mean, that's

776
01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:15.239
that's going the opposite way, isn't it surgical scrubs. I

777
01:08:15.280 --> 01:08:17.680
don't know why that's funny. It's just I don't know.

778
01:08:17.800 --> 01:08:22.199
It's got a visual of that. It's like some hospitals

779
01:08:22.239 --> 01:08:24.279
won't let you have teddy bears at all, and the

780
01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:27.439
other one like, like, well, you can use them as

781
01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:29.880
a doctor if you like, We'll use them as a doctor.

782
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:36.359
We use them in surgery. A teddy bear wants to

783
01:08:36.359 --> 01:08:40.399
travel to the top of Mount Everest, I'm guessing it

784
01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:43.319
gain attached to someone. So the same you could use

785
01:08:43.439 --> 01:08:49.119
for a pair of hiking boots and a tent a.

786
01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:54.279
You know all kinds of things that you travel. I

787
01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:57.600
mentioned if youse climbing Mount Everest, there'd be quite a

788
01:08:57.640 --> 01:09:03.840
few different things you'd need with you. A little television, definitely,

789
01:09:04.039 --> 01:09:11.039
a little television, a laptop, stuff like that, and some cheese.

790
01:09:13.199 --> 01:09:17.600
Got a bit of cheese. In twenty twelve, a teddy

791
01:09:17.640 --> 01:09:23.560
Bear went viral after being left on a train. I

792
01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:29.560
don't remember that, thankfully. How did that go viral? A

793
01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:33.760
teddy Bear being left on a train? I'm surprised they're

794
01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:39.239
not made a movie about it. Whoever they are, please

795
01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:41.640
sometimes use teddy Bears to Okay, I'm not going to

796
01:09:41.680 --> 01:09:46.000
read that one out. A teddy Bear once broke eBay

797
01:09:46.119 --> 01:09:53.760
records for online auction price cool. A teddy Bear themed

798
01:09:54.079 --> 01:10:04.840
cruise ship exists. Oh that's nice, and yeah, that's it. Really,

799
01:10:05.079 --> 01:10:08.119
there's one about some psychologists and stuff, but I'm not

800
01:10:08.159 --> 01:10:10.920
going to read that out. Let's keep it light, baby,

801
01:10:11.159 --> 01:10:19.920
nice and light yet and that's it.

802
01:10:20.199 --> 01:10:20.600
That is.

803
01:10:22.279 --> 01:10:24.760
All of the one hundred apart from the couple I

804
01:10:24.880 --> 01:10:31.880
missed out teddy Bear facts or teddy Bear trivia facts.

805
01:10:35.399 --> 01:10:39.880
I don't know about you, but I'm excited. That's excited me.

806
01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:43.840
In a way that I didn't expect. Mmm mmmmm. So

807
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:51.199
thank you very much for listening, and remember, I'll finish

808
01:10:51.279 --> 01:10:53.840
now this at the end of the recording. Remember to

809
01:10:53.920 --> 01:10:56.399
be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy.

810
01:10:58.039 --> 01:11:05.520
Be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots

811
01:11:05.560 --> 01:11:27.399
of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and meaningful way,

812
01:11:29.920 --> 01:11:34.880
maybe in a way that can not just allow you

813
01:11:35.439 --> 01:11:45.399
to feel calmer now and throughout the time we spend

814
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:53.479
together here, not just relaxed at the end of the

815
01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:58.920
recording when it's finished and you can enjoy that sense

816
01:11:59.079 --> 01:12:15.680
of comfort and peace, but also I think it would

817
01:12:15.680 --> 01:12:31.560
be nice to have those feelings of relaxation continue for

818
01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:43.600
longer after the recording has ended, so that you can

819
01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:55.880
still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe in a

820
01:12:56.000 --> 01:13:08.439
few hours time, perhaps to tomorrow, and then by listening regularly,

821
01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:16.159
especially if you find like some people do and myself

822
01:13:16.239 --> 01:13:20.760
as well. I sometimes I find one particular recording that

823
01:13:21.039 --> 01:13:29.640
really resonates with me, and I just listen to it

824
01:13:29.800 --> 01:13:42.640
over and over again every morning, every evening. There was

825
01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:48.359
this recording from We're going back to about nineteen ninety nine.

826
01:13:50.079 --> 01:13:55.600
It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It

827
01:13:55.720 --> 01:14:02.880
kind of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to find

828
01:14:02.920 --> 01:14:06.960
it again and it still has the same effect on me.

829
01:14:09.600 --> 01:14:19.319
And part of it was the person's voice relaxed me,

830
01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:30.000
just felt so peaceful, and I'd look forward to listening

831
01:14:30.560 --> 01:14:42.439
to her in the morning and in the evening. And

832
01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:52.079
I knew before even pressing the play button that since

833
01:14:52.199 --> 01:14:56.560
I've done that, pressed the play button. This is in

834
01:14:56.680 --> 01:15:11.239
the days of CD players, pressed the play button. In fact,

835
01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:15.239
it might have even been a tap tape recorder. I'd

836
01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:25.000
lie down on the bed and then even without necessarily

837
01:15:26.199 --> 01:15:36.880
listening to her words because I had them memorized. Really,

838
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:47.399
it was as if my body knew exactly what to do,

839
01:15:52.359 --> 01:16:14.039
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and

840
01:16:14.319 --> 01:16:19.319
I remember my mind would slow down.

841
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:25.159
Now.

842
01:16:27.359 --> 01:16:34.000
Now, I was listening to this recording in the early

843
01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:41.920
days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made

844
01:16:42.520 --> 01:16:49.800
any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start

845
01:16:49.920 --> 01:17:03.640
doing that till two thousand and six, I knew, I

846
01:17:03.760 --> 01:17:17.199
knew how helpful I found being able to just let go,

847
01:17:20.279 --> 01:17:25.640
to have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

848
01:17:33.359 --> 01:17:41.439
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if

849
01:17:41.520 --> 01:17:50.880
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you

850
01:17:50.960 --> 01:18:02.520
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

851
01:18:02.680 --> 01:18:16.520
me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not

852
01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:22.880
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

853
01:18:24.760 --> 01:18:38.560
Some people maybe listen every day. There's something that I

854
01:18:39.880 --> 01:18:55.840
do which you may not realize by listening, is when

855
01:18:56.159 --> 01:19:11.600
I record these recordings now, for example, I also am

856
01:19:11.920 --> 01:19:16.920
affected by the words that I say.

857
01:19:22.239 --> 01:19:22.800
So if I.

858
01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:33.079
Set to you focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing.

859
01:19:36.560 --> 01:19:44.279
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be

860
01:19:44.600 --> 01:20:02.640
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,

861
01:20:05.479 --> 01:20:14.960
and maybe notice the difference between each hand, perhaps notice

862
01:20:15.119 --> 01:20:21.159
the the air in the room, the temperature of the room.

863
01:20:23.039 --> 01:20:33.399
On the backs of your hands. You may start to

864
01:20:34.039 --> 01:20:42.039
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even

865
01:20:42.159 --> 01:20:46.319
though there may not be any type of breeze at

866
01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:59.319
all where you are right now. And as you become

867
01:21:00.119 --> 01:21:14.399
aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed

868
01:21:14.720 --> 01:21:38.439
my hands our feeling now and when it comes to

869
01:21:40.039 --> 01:21:46.039
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason

870
01:21:46.359 --> 01:22:02.560
you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.

871
01:22:07.319 --> 01:22:23.720
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times

872
01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:39.920
I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I

873
01:22:40.119 --> 01:22:51.399
carry on talking. And it's only where I listen back

874
01:22:51.640 --> 01:23:00.600
to do the editing. I hear snoring, and I think,

875
01:23:01.039 --> 01:23:10.840
I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. Is this snoring

876
01:23:11.199 --> 01:23:17.880
was a pick turned up? That's why I sound like

877
01:23:17.960 --> 01:23:29.039
when I snare and I get really into the whole experience.

878
01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:45.960
I don't know how you feel. How relaxed do you

879
01:23:46.159 --> 01:23:57.079
feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands.

880
01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:24.359
I have noticed more and more that the more relaxed,

881
01:24:26.119 --> 01:24:41.920
deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.

882
01:24:48.479 --> 01:25:05.159
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows

883
01:25:05.239 --> 01:25:36.279
you the breve easier without necessarily focusing on your breath. However,

884
01:25:36.560 --> 01:26:05.279
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

885
01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:55.319
so naturally. You breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever

886
01:26:55.479 --> 01:27:13.800
I imagine my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed,

887
01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:32.720
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

888
01:27:32.960 --> 01:28:06.960
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice

889
01:28:13.239 --> 01:28:33.920
to if nothing else just taking some time away from everything,

890
01:28:45.279 --> 01:29:17.800
enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity with a joyful heart.

891
01:29:43.159 --> 01:30:08.640
Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

892
01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:53.680
so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

893
01:30:53.840 --> 01:31:58.199
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.

894
01:32:06.520 --> 01:32:53.199
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

895
01:32:53.520 --> 01:33:10.600
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress drip out

896
01:33:10.680 --> 01:33:30.199
of your body, to appear out of every part of

897
01:33:30.359 --> 01:33:54.840
your body and being released from your brain in your

898
01:33:55.000 --> 01:35:04.960
mind slowly but surely, the muscles lax, relax so very deeply,

899
01:35:14.800 --> 01:35:45.800
relax so deeply, and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

900
01:35:45.920 --> 01:36:10.399
your arms and shoulders, deepening each part of your body

901
01:36:13.760 --> 01:36:52.119
further and deeper and deeper. Noticing the feelings in the

902
01:36:52.239 --> 01:37:54.239
back of your neck, feelings in your wrists, muscles in

903
01:37:54.560 --> 01:38:48.720
front of your body. I also feeling peaceful deeply. There's

904
01:38:48.800 --> 01:39:30.079
a sense of peace spreads through your very core. Even

905
01:39:30.319 --> 01:39:57.239
when you focus on your mind, your mind becomes bef

906
01:39:57.439 --> 01:41:19.399
and slower, heven deep, relaxing, so very slow his stomach

907
01:41:33.520 --> 01:41:36.039
PA's for in your stomach.

908
01:41:57.720 --> 01:41:58.359
Hook back.

909
01:42:03.800 --> 01:42:32.680
Notice Notice how relaxed you'd now fear in the hole

910
01:42:33.000 --> 01:43:05.560
of your back. Your spy h from your brain all

911
01:43:05.760 --> 01:43:13.359
the way down the middle of your back, sending and

912
01:43:13.880 --> 01:43:48.920
receiving millions of messages every day, deep comfort, increasing deeply relaxed,

913
01:44:19.000 --> 01:44:53.640
your knees, legs, spreading those signals down a spine or

914
01:44:53.760 --> 01:45:17.119
cord into air every ah. If you're body, your shins,

915
01:45:17.319 --> 01:46:08.039
and your calf muscles, we're outbursts feelings of peace and

916
01:46:08.239 --> 01:46:26.239
tranquility spreading through your body, tips of your toes, to

917
01:46:26.399 --> 01:46:50.800
your eyes, your fingers, all the way to your lower back, lettinger,

918
01:46:53.159 --> 01:48:03.199
radiating peace, drifting, mind just warmed in a way, happy

919
01:48:04.079 --> 01:48:44.479

01:49:08.680 --> 01:49:45.920
the whole body, enjoying a sensor listing go, he even

921
01:49:46.159 --> 01:51:48.760
more he enjoying the space, this space of peace and safety,

922
01:52:11.600 --> 01:54:10.720
so fury fey, relaxed, letting go. Maybe we can just

923
01:54:13.640 --> 01:54:22.439
focus on the different parts of your body, just to

924
01:54:22.760 --> 01:55:51.600
notice your forehead and your eyes mutual, so loose, noticing

925
01:55:51.800 --> 01:57:27.039
the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, trading peace for energy,

926
01:58:00.039 --> 01:59:12.119
pease to breathe so much easier. Lease. You may have

927
01:59:15.600 --> 02:00:16.279
you may not have noticed your mind drifting, peaceful, moveingly,

928
02:00:16.399 --> 02:00:36.600
even more deeply in the direction of total blissful peace,

929
02:00:40.800 --> 02:02:44.399
blissful peace terrest two two peace, com so calm, letting

930
02:02:44.560 --> 02:03:12.000
go peace with mind.

931
02:03:21.359 --> 02:04:25.560
Relaxed forty so relaxed, so relaxed. Your body feels almost invisible,

932
02:04:40.800 --> 02:05:43.039
so very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so peace real liquor so peaceful,

933
02:05:48.920 --> 02:06:03.600
so fair, fair peace. And you could start to notice

934
02:06:04.039 --> 02:06:13.039
that you are feeling more relaxed, even though I've not

935
02:06:14.760 --> 02:06:25.479
purposely focused your mind upon that sense of physical comfort

936
02:06:26.199 --> 02:06:33.039
that is growing within you throughout your body, and your

937
02:06:33.159 --> 02:06:43.720
mind starts to slow down, and that could be almost

938
02:06:43.920 --> 02:06:53.439
in recognition of I guess my speech not being particularly fast,

939
02:07:00.079 --> 02:07:02.239
and things just generally.

940
02:07:03.560 --> 02:07:14.560
Feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

941
02:07:14.640 --> 02:07:21.520
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

942
02:07:23.720 --> 02:07:31.199
take a break from your life as it is, and

943
02:07:31.359 --> 02:07:39.079
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

944
02:07:39.199 --> 02:07:44.720
some time off, and to allow your body to relax

945
02:07:46.439 --> 02:07:54.359
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

946
02:07:57.000 --> 02:08:02.600
releases the tension any stresses that you had in your body.

947
02:08:08.600 --> 02:08:12.479
It's almost as if the parts of your body just

948
02:08:12.760 --> 02:08:24.439
open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same

949
02:08:24.560 --> 02:08:35.840
time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then

950
02:08:36.039 --> 02:08:45.159
fills your body up and your mind to also starts

951
02:08:45.359 --> 02:09:02.000
to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence and almost uplifting

952
02:09:02.399 --> 02:09:17.800
feeling positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body

953
02:09:18.880 --> 02:09:28.920
like a wave of comfort. And all this comes from

954
02:09:29.239 --> 02:09:40.800
just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour,

955
02:09:41.279 --> 02:09:46.000
however long you want it to be, to just rest

956
02:09:51.399 --> 02:09:59.640
and allow your mind and your body to almost rea

957
02:10:00.079 --> 02:10:15.079
set itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

958
02:10:19.359 --> 02:10:28.720
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness

959
02:10:32.760 --> 02:10:41.560
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

960
02:10:42.359 --> 02:10:46.960
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,

961
02:10:51.239 --> 02:11:00.920
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness,

962
02:11:06.000 --> 02:11:13.199
And it feels nice. It really does feel nice to

963
02:11:13.399 --> 02:11:19.079
know that you are the one that has allowed yourself

964
02:11:22.560 --> 02:11:34.760
to feel more comfort and to experience more of this

965
02:11:36.560 --> 02:11:51.720
deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

966
02:11:53.319 --> 02:11:59.079
on each part of your body, you can notice that

967
02:11:59.279 --> 02:12:13.800
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

968
02:12:16.359 --> 02:12:26.000
It becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing.

969
02:12:30.039 --> 02:12:35.800
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

970
02:12:38.520 --> 02:12:45.199
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

971
02:12:45.399 --> 02:12:53.039
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

972
02:12:53.079 --> 02:13:06.439
on were just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation

973
02:13:06.840 --> 02:13:19.880
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going

974
02:13:19.960 --> 02:13:26.840
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware

975
02:13:27.159 --> 02:13:35.760
of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds

976
02:13:37.560 --> 02:13:42.399
like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to

977
02:13:42.600 --> 02:13:49.840
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

978
02:13:52.960 --> 02:13:58.319
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

979
02:14:01.760 --> 02:14:07.800
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

980
02:14:08.319 --> 02:14:18.800
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

981
02:14:19.079 --> 02:14:26.840
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

982
02:14:29.159 --> 02:14:33.640
only on my voice and that part of your body.

983
02:14:38.840 --> 02:14:47.119
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

984
02:14:49.600 --> 02:14:59.279
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

985
02:14:59.319 --> 02:15:05.800
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

986
02:15:06.039 --> 02:15:20.479
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

987
02:15:20.960 --> 02:15:27.600
your tongue, your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of

988
02:15:27.760 --> 02:15:42.520
your mouth relaxing, calm and loose as you focus now

989
02:15:43.359 --> 02:15:50.199
on your jaw, not just the part of your jaw

990
02:15:50.319 --> 02:15:54.760
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way

991
02:15:54.880 --> 02:16:01.239
up the size of your face to your ears, the

992
02:16:01.520 --> 02:16:25.960
hole of your jaw, feeling more relaxed and calm. Focusing

993
02:16:29.439 --> 02:16:34.600
on your neck, the front of your neck and your

994
02:16:34.760 --> 02:16:48.040
throat relaxing and loose and calm. The side of your neck,

995
02:16:50.120 --> 02:16:57.079
the right and left side of your neck relax and

996
02:16:58.639 --> 02:17:12.239
lease and calm. And now the back of your neck.

997
02:17:15.559 --> 02:17:25.559
Focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of

998
02:17:25.760 --> 02:17:32.639
any tension that may have been there before, and enjoying

999
02:17:33.000 --> 02:17:45.920
that sense of increasing comfort and release that you can

1000
02:17:46.079 --> 02:17:57.159
experience in the back of your neck. Moving down your

1001
02:17:57.319 --> 02:18:04.600
back and moving either side of your spine right from

1002
02:18:04.680 --> 02:18:10.040
the top of your back all the way down to

1003
02:18:10.159 --> 02:18:22.399
the bottom of your back, down to your lower back.

1004
02:18:27.479 --> 02:18:34.520
And as you move up and down your spine, you

1005
02:18:34.600 --> 02:18:41.760
can feel the muscles either side of your spine relaxing

1006
02:18:42.440 --> 02:18:55.799
even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense of

1007
02:18:56.079 --> 02:19:06.760
comfort starts to spread woods from your spine into both

1008
02:19:06.959 --> 02:19:14.000
sides of your back, the top of your back, the

1009
02:19:14.200 --> 02:19:22.520
middle and your lower back. And as you scan gently

1010
02:19:23.079 --> 02:19:30.440
and slowly up and down your back, there's the muscles

1011
02:19:30.639 --> 02:19:35.719
in the top of your back, relax and become looser.

1012
02:19:40.079 --> 02:19:46.040
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1013
02:19:46.159 --> 02:19:55.680
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting.

1014
02:20:01.440 --> 02:20:07.440
And in your lower back it seems to be an

1015
02:20:07.479 --> 02:20:21.680
extra special feeling of comfort that spreads into your hips.

1016
02:20:24.000 --> 02:20:31.799
Sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

1017
02:20:32.000 --> 02:20:40.760
area where your cosicks are, and into your buttocks, and

1018
02:20:40.879 --> 02:20:50.079
all those muscles that spread from your lower back into

1019
02:20:50.159 --> 02:21:03.600
your hip area start to melt, start to really let go.

1020
02:21:10.319 --> 02:21:17.079
Don't even nowhere about to focus on your shoulders. Your

1021
02:21:17.280 --> 02:21:27.920
back and your spine will continue to let go, continue

1022
02:21:28.760 --> 02:21:43.639
to relax so calmly, and as you focus on your shoulders,

1023
02:21:45.399 --> 02:22:00.680
you may notice that they're already feeling really loose. They're

1024
02:22:00.760 --> 02:22:27.479
already feeding, calm and feeding those muscles. Then move from

1025
02:22:27.600 --> 02:22:43.120
your neck into your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle,

1026
02:22:47.200 --> 02:23:08.840
so smooth and calm, and the feeling in your shoulders

1027
02:23:16.120 --> 02:23:23.559
seens to spread deep into your shoulders, that sense of

1028
02:23:23.760 --> 02:23:36.200
relaxation not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also

1029
02:23:36.600 --> 02:23:50.079
relaxing the bones and moving all away to underneath your arms,

1030
02:23:52.920 --> 02:23:58.879
relaxing that whole area between the tops of your shoulders

1031
02:24:00.239 --> 02:24:17.959
and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and

1032
02:24:18.239 --> 02:24:33.799
comfortable in your shoulders, which sends that deep healing message

1033
02:24:39.159 --> 02:24:50.799
into your arms. And you may feel almost as if

1034
02:24:50.879 --> 02:24:57.360
your arms are not even there because they're so relaxed,

1035
02:25:00.600 --> 02:25:31.559
so deeply relaxed, so so calm, so.

1036
02:25:38.239 --> 02:25:38.639
Pose.

1037
02:25:46.040 --> 02:25:57.200
The feeling spreading all the way down your arms, two elbows,

1038
02:26:01.000 --> 02:26:26.079
including your elbows circumforts, spreads or away into your wrists,

1039
02:26:29.000 --> 02:26:44.280
your forearments, and your wrists so heavy, yet at the

1040
02:26:44.639 --> 02:26:46.760
same time.

1041
02:26:54.120 --> 02:26:54.879
So light.

1042
02:26:57.920 --> 02:27:28.239
And gentle. Frek. See now on.

1043
02:27:30.920 --> 02:27:54.959
Your hands, my hands.

1044
02:28:00.840 --> 02:28:30.440
So peaceful in your hands, there's a sense of real peace.

1045
02:28:42.200 --> 02:28:55.239
It just seems to I feel so familiar when your

1046
02:28:55.479 --> 02:30:00.239
hands relax deeply. Yes, the thing is a thing, Yes,

1047
02:30:03.280 --> 02:31:06.760
sadly your finger tips. Moving your attention to the front

1048
02:31:06.959 --> 02:31:37.719
of your body, so comfortable, moving your focus to your legs.

1049
02:32:56.559 --> 02:33:23.840
Whey's my souls in your thighs, your knees so relaxed,

1050
02:33:51.159 --> 02:35:59.680
the calf muscles and just shins, com pussy hey fy yes,

1051
02:36:00.040 --> 02:36:02.600
heathen and your feet.

1052
02:36:04.920 --> 02:36:59.040
Yeah, sir, peaceful, so calm, so peaceful, so calm, sir,

1053
02:36:59.600 --> 02:37:09.440
peace peaceful, so calm, so.

1054
02:37:11.440 --> 02:37:23.200
Peace fall RelA sin.

1055
02:37:28.319 --> 02:37:43.040
Peace fall, so calm, loving that.

1056
02:37:43.440 --> 02:37:55.440
Deep relaxation, to spread your chest, in your stomach, so relax,

1057
02:38:03.200 --> 02:38:04.159
letting go.

1058
02:38:08.280 --> 02:38:08.959
Everything.

1059
02:38:20.239 --> 02:38:26.200
So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down

1060
02:38:26.280 --> 02:38:34.399
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

1061
02:38:35.200 --> 02:38:41.639
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

1062
02:38:41.719 --> 02:38:50.840
and each step represents a level of comfort. Each step

1063
02:38:51.360 --> 02:39:06.920
represents a deepening of that comfort, and the fairvies you

1064
02:39:07.079 --> 02:39:12.360
walk down those steps that the deeper and more relaxed

1065
02:39:12.639 --> 02:40:28.440
you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty nineteen eight

1066
02:40:28.559 --> 02:46:00.920
came seventeen sixteen U fifteen fourteen four t too well

1067
02:47:00.079 --> 02:54:12.520
five two nine hey seven six five.

1068
02:55:31.280 --> 02:59:10.120
Four one.

1069
02:59:59.639 --> 03:00:00.200
No oh.

1070
03:00:04.520 --> 03:00:17.159
As you focus on your eyes, we're gonna come down

1071
03:00:17.520 --> 03:00:28.680
from ten down to one. Focusing just on your eyes,

1072
03:00:32.440 --> 03:00:40.920
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1073
03:00:42.440 --> 03:00:59.479
our whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1074
03:00:59.559 --> 03:01:07.200
we can on down from ten down to one, whilst

1075
03:01:07.479 --> 03:01:19.799
focus in on your eyes, you will become twice is

1076
03:01:20.000 --> 03:01:31.840
relaxed with each number counting down, and you may find

1077
03:01:36.040 --> 03:01:41.760
the all you want to do is just drift off

1078
03:01:42.120 --> 03:01:51.239
to sleep. And if that's what you want, then just

1079
03:01:51.399 --> 03:02:04.520
allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes.

1080
03:02:06.600 --> 03:02:12.040
I'm going to begin counting down from ten down to

1081
03:02:12.200 --> 03:07:35.959
one right now, ten nine eight seven four five four

1082
03:08:49.280 --> 03:09:55.680
three two.

1083
03:11:23.479 --> 03:11:23.760
One.

1084
03:11:30.040 --> 03:11:46.719
So counting down from ten to one ten nine eight

1085
03:11:49.559 --> 03:12:14.360
seven six five four three two one. And maybe that

1086
03:12:14.559 --> 03:12:18.639
was a bit too quick in order to relax. Maybe

1087
03:12:18.680 --> 03:12:23.000
it's a bit too fast for you to notice the

1088
03:12:24.319 --> 03:12:31.120
calming of your body, maybe even a little bit of

1089
03:12:31.239 --> 03:12:35.159
pressure there, Like you're counting down from ten to one.

1090
03:12:35.280 --> 03:12:38.680
Would you expect me to do man, expect me to

1091
03:12:38.760 --> 03:12:48.559
stick go floppy just because you're counting down. We could

1092
03:12:48.639 --> 03:12:52.360
try it again, but this time I go, this's lower

1093
03:12:54.600 --> 03:12:59.479
this time, as you focus on the whole of your

1094
03:12:59.520 --> 03:13:07.879
body before we focus on your legs. Just notice how

1095
03:13:07.959 --> 03:13:22.079
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every

1096
03:13:22.200 --> 03:13:55.239
number that I count down ten nine eight seven six

1097
03:14:03.719 --> 03:15:12.639
five four three two one. And just notice how how

1098
03:15:12.719 --> 03:15:22.799
you feel, generally, how your body feels. It's not necessarily

1099
03:15:22.920 --> 03:15:33.280
even about counting down from ten to one. It's that

1100
03:15:33.600 --> 03:15:53.280
space that you have, that space between being active physically

1101
03:15:53.479 --> 03:16:02.280
or mentally to just sitting or lying down and just

1102
03:16:02.520 --> 03:16:08.440
being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, not needing

1103
03:16:08.680 --> 03:16:14.159
to think about anything. So it opens up a space

1104
03:16:15.120 --> 03:16:24.280
you know, a bit of a space, a gap, And

1105
03:16:24.399 --> 03:16:28.959
the more I came down from ten to one, the

1106
03:16:29.040 --> 03:16:37.000
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

1107
03:16:38.440 --> 03:16:54.079
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves

1108
03:16:55.680 --> 03:17:05.559
those stresses or discover foots physically or emotionally, moves them away.

1109
03:17:12.360 --> 03:17:13.319
Allows you.

1110
03:17:16.000 --> 03:17:16.559
To just.

1111
03:17:19.520 --> 03:17:26.239
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

1112
03:17:26.680 --> 03:17:36.920
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1113
03:17:36.959 --> 03:17:43.000
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

1114
03:17:43.120 --> 03:19:04.239
gap and gives you that distance. That's space now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

1115
03:19:22.600 --> 03:20:29.040
three two one. How does your body feel now? Can

1116
03:20:29.120 --> 03:20:45.159
you notice do you feeling calmer, the feeling more relaxed

1117
03:21:07.639 --> 03:21:11.959
as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

1118
03:21:27.959 --> 03:21:48.079
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

1119
03:21:48.239 --> 03:21:53.120
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing because

1120
03:21:56.559 --> 03:21:59.399
I'm sure like most of your body is not not

1121
03:21:59.559 --> 03:22:11.920
going on right now. Just focusing on the whole of

1122
03:22:12.000 --> 03:22:18.440
your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides of

1123
03:22:18.559 --> 03:22:25.399
your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

1124
03:22:25.520 --> 03:22:30.399
and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh

1125
03:22:30.559 --> 03:22:39.280
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

1126
03:22:39.520 --> 03:22:53.559
your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's

1127
03:22:53.600 --> 03:22:59.079
a very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest

1128
03:23:00.120 --> 03:23:13.200
muscles in your body are in your thighs. But I

1129
03:23:13.319 --> 03:23:21.600
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1130
03:23:27.559 --> 03:23:38.319
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1131
03:23:38.520 --> 03:23:54.559
our lives, how much they actually do.

1132
03:23:54.760 --> 03:23:55.159
For us.

1133
03:23:58.959 --> 03:24:09.000
All through our lives. And it may seem to sound

1134
03:24:09.079 --> 03:24:14.719
really weird, but I think that all of our body parts,

1135
03:24:17.639 --> 03:24:25.920
especially our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,

1136
03:24:26.879 --> 03:24:45.120
a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for our

1137
03:24:45.280 --> 03:24:54.600
thighs do for us. And I know this may sound

1138
03:24:54.680 --> 03:25:01.040
a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I? Surely

1139
03:25:01.079 --> 03:25:03.920
I should be out in the garden hugging a tree

1140
03:25:04.079 --> 03:25:12.200
or something. Well, it's hard to set a microphone up

1141
03:25:12.239 --> 03:25:15.600
on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise

1142
03:25:15.639 --> 03:25:19.000
I would be outside hugging a tree. Now I can't

1143
03:25:19.000 --> 03:25:27.799
see the television from the tree. If you move down

1144
03:25:27.840 --> 03:25:37.559
to your knees, gain such an important part. And I

1145
03:25:37.680 --> 03:25:44.520
think we don't necessarily. I'll speak for myself here. I

1146
03:25:44.600 --> 03:25:49.760
don't necessarily appreciate all that my knees do for me

1147
03:25:51.000 --> 03:25:56.159
until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,

1148
03:25:56.239 --> 03:26:01.200
if I ever maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching

1149
03:26:01.399 --> 03:26:07.760
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much

1150
03:26:07.920 --> 03:26:11.520
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to

1151
03:26:12.479 --> 03:26:21.680
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

1152
03:26:22.520 --> 03:26:31.239
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

1153
03:26:32.360 --> 03:26:39.360
You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

1154
03:26:41.520 --> 03:26:47.159
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that

1155
03:26:47.440 --> 03:26:53.600
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all

1156
03:26:53.760 --> 03:27:05.959
that they do for you. And you can still have

1157
03:27:06.120 --> 03:27:10.280
that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your

1158
03:27:10.360 --> 03:27:22.239
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more

1159
03:27:24.040 --> 03:27:35.639
deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,

1160
03:27:36.120 --> 03:27:41.479
your shins, and your calf muscles, and the bones between

1161
03:27:41.719 --> 03:27:48.520
your knees and your feet, incorporating, of course, your ankles

1162
03:27:50.840 --> 03:28:02.120
so important. Anyone that's had even the slightest sprain of

1163
03:28:02.200 --> 03:28:10.479
an ankle knows how much we take our ankles for granted,

1164
03:28:16.360 --> 03:28:18.360
and it's kind of strange in a way when you

1165
03:28:18.440 --> 03:28:24.040
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

1166
03:28:24.200 --> 03:28:29.040
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1167
03:28:29.120 --> 03:28:32.840
it doesn't I can't see any problem with that because

1168
03:28:32.879 --> 03:28:38.879
we're just picking stuff up. But our ankles so much

1169
03:28:39.159 --> 03:28:48.799
thinner than the rest of our legs, and from a

1170
03:28:48.920 --> 03:28:53.760
physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense

1171
03:28:55.120 --> 03:29:02.479
that all this weight would ultimately be resting on your

1172
03:29:02.559 --> 03:29:17.559
ankles then leading to your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

1173
03:29:17.639 --> 03:29:23.360
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1174
03:29:23.440 --> 03:29:35.319
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps you

1175
03:29:35.479 --> 03:29:48.799
to get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1176
03:29:48.840 --> 03:29:56.440
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1177
03:29:56.520 --> 03:30:01.600
point in calf muscles. It didn't seem to do anything. Okay,

1178
03:30:02.719 --> 03:30:06.239
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my craft muscles

1179
03:30:06.319 --> 03:30:09.799
get some work. But of course that's not true. The

1180
03:30:09.959 --> 03:30:14.319
calf muscles are being used whenever we use her legs

1181
03:30:19.920 --> 03:30:32.559
and your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped

1182
03:30:32.600 --> 03:30:37.319
in a way almost as a protector for the bone,

1183
03:30:44.879 --> 03:30:56.799
leading of course to your ankles and your feet. But

1184
03:30:56.879 --> 03:30:58.799
we're not going to focus on your feet. We're just

1185
03:30:58.879 --> 03:31:05.000
going to focus on the legs. Yes, I realize that

1186
03:31:05.159 --> 03:31:08.879
now that I've mentioned your feet, it will be focusing

1187
03:31:09.159 --> 03:31:12.239
on them anyway, So maybe I should focus on your

1188
03:31:12.280 --> 03:31:18.120
feet a little bit. You can have them in your

1189
03:31:18.159 --> 03:31:24.559
awareness the same as you have your thighs in your awareness.

1190
03:31:25.399 --> 03:31:29.239
Even though we haven't been focusing on your thighs for

1191
03:31:29.239 --> 03:31:40.239
a few minutes, we've been focusing on your ankles, there's

1192
03:31:40.280 --> 03:31:55.520
still that sensation of comfort in your thighs, and there's

1193
03:31:55.639 --> 03:32:04.840
that movement of energy because the thighs hold lots of

1194
03:32:04.920 --> 03:32:11.120
different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles, the big straw

1195
03:32:11.280 --> 03:32:23.319
muscles that we have in our thighs. But the skin

1196
03:32:25.239 --> 03:32:29.680
on the outside of the thighs, as in the outside

1197
03:32:29.719 --> 03:32:39.120
of all of our body, can be very sensitive, sensitive

1198
03:32:39.280 --> 03:32:52.280
to the touch, sensitive to temperature, and inside your thighs

1199
03:32:54.760 --> 03:32:59.840
the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels, the arch,

1200
03:33:01.799 --> 03:33:09.760
it's all this stuff that's inside your thighs. And I

1201
03:33:09.840 --> 03:33:13.319
guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could actually put

1202
03:33:13.360 --> 03:33:20.719
your fingers inside your thighs and a message, so you

1203
03:33:20.799 --> 03:33:24.280
can message on the outside, of course, but to be

1204
03:33:24.360 --> 03:33:27.520
able to get deep into the muscles and to be

1205
03:33:27.559 --> 03:33:32.680
able to just message inside your thighs, message in the

1206
03:33:32.799 --> 03:33:41.520
bones of your leg massage in all the veins, and

1207
03:33:41.719 --> 03:33:52.159
just gently healing your thighs, and you could move down

1208
03:33:54.200 --> 03:33:59.239
message and inside your knees, just message in those bones,

1209
03:34:00.280 --> 03:34:07.280
but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into

1210
03:34:07.399 --> 03:34:16.799
the joints of your knees. Of course, there's the back

1211
03:34:17.079 --> 03:34:22.000
of your your knee, you know, the inside crease where

1212
03:34:22.040 --> 03:34:29.479
your knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Very it

1213
03:34:29.520 --> 03:34:33.399
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be

1214
03:34:33.559 --> 03:34:37.520
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

1215
03:34:39.559 --> 03:34:46.440
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1216
03:34:46.520 --> 03:34:53.840
It's almost like a part that has a sensitivity which

1217
03:34:53.920 --> 03:35:04.360
is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected by

1218
03:35:04.440 --> 03:35:15.840
your legs. So you can imagine putting your fingers into

1219
03:35:15.959 --> 03:35:25.639
that crease in your legs, that fold in between your legs.

1220
03:35:26.360 --> 03:35:30.959
You can just massage with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips

1221
03:35:31.079 --> 03:35:41.559
going inside, massage in the muscle tissue. You can of

1222
03:35:41.680 --> 03:35:44.840
course feel the bones.

1223
03:35:44.680 --> 03:35:45.760
Of your knees.

1224
03:35:46.920 --> 03:35:57.360
Heading through your fingertips, and then as you go down

1225
03:36:00.239 --> 03:36:03.040
to your calf muscles. Now that's the part. I'd like

1226
03:36:03.120 --> 03:36:07.799
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1227
03:36:08.600 --> 03:36:17.520
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,

1228
03:36:19.120 --> 03:36:29.040
healing every part, and then doing the same for my shins,

1229
03:36:32.239 --> 03:36:39.120
massage in and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them,

1230
03:36:40.000 --> 03:36:44.120
healing in a loving way, because they deserve to be

1231
03:36:44.319 --> 03:36:51.559
treated as the precious bones that they are. Because our

1232
03:36:51.639 --> 03:36:55.200
legs are so precious as in all the other parts

1233
03:36:55.280 --> 03:37:02.920
of our body, and more precious than any your on

1234
03:37:03.040 --> 03:37:19.360
the planet. When you start to think about your legs

1235
03:37:19.520 --> 03:37:30.639
in this way, it can change your perspective. It might

1236
03:37:30.840 --> 03:37:37.399
sound a bit a bit silly to start with the

1237
03:37:37.600 --> 03:37:45.760
idea of having love for your legs, showing appreciation for

1238
03:37:45.879 --> 03:37:51.920
your thighs, wanting to be able to put your hands

1239
03:37:52.879 --> 03:37:59.760
in your thighs and massage the muscles and the bones,

1240
03:38:01.639 --> 03:38:07.319
and to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

1241
03:38:10.200 --> 03:38:18.840
just to show how much you care about your legs,

1242
03:38:19.719 --> 03:38:23.440
how much you care for what your legs do for

1243
03:38:23.600 --> 03:38:37.200
you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength

1244
03:38:37.360 --> 03:38:45.399
of your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to

1245
03:38:45.520 --> 03:38:52.239
the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're

1246
03:38:52.399 --> 03:39:04.159
so strong, so flexible, as comsoletely amazing things. Your ankles

1247
03:39:04.479 --> 03:39:13.600
are truly a gift because of what they do for you,

1248
03:39:19.079 --> 03:39:26.000
supporting all that weight. Regardless of how what weight you are,

1249
03:39:27.200 --> 03:39:32.000
even if you only ate stone, there's still a lot

1250
03:39:32.040 --> 03:39:38.680
of weight for these little ankles. Now, I'm a lot

1251
03:39:38.920 --> 03:39:48.879
heavier than eight stone double down, Yet my ankles support

1252
03:39:48.959 --> 03:39:56.319
my body all the time. Although they do give off

1253
03:39:56.360 --> 03:40:01.799
a sigh of relief when I sit down, I have

1254
03:40:01.920 --> 03:40:10.840
my whole legs do my feet feet also go and

1255
03:40:10.920 --> 03:40:38.639
my toes clap. They're so happy. Your legs really are amazing.

1256
03:40:41.239 --> 03:40:44.920
And I know that talking about talking about your legs

1257
03:40:45.040 --> 03:40:51.639
is probably possibly among the most most boring things I've

1258
03:40:51.680 --> 03:40:59.840
ever heard anyone say. Possibly there boring or not, m h.

1259
03:41:00.319 --> 03:41:15.799
Everything I said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your

1260
03:41:15.879 --> 03:41:28.479
legs deserve not just respect, They deserve to relax deeply.

1261
03:41:35.760 --> 03:41:39.120
They deserve to take some time out of the day

1262
03:41:41.319 --> 03:42:10.040
to just let go completely. Your legs really can relax.

1263
03:42:17.680 --> 03:42:21.799
And because the legs are so such a most you know,

1264
03:42:22.040 --> 03:42:28.000
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1265
03:42:28.079 --> 03:42:35.319
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that

1266
03:42:39.040 --> 03:42:49.879
journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

1267
03:42:51.280 --> 03:42:58.399
My hips feel really loose, and also my lwer back

1268
03:42:58.479 --> 03:43:05.079
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1269
03:43:06.159 --> 03:43:09.239
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1270
03:43:09.319 --> 03:43:14.559
no stretching as far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1271
03:43:15.600 --> 03:43:18.239
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1272
03:43:18.479 --> 03:43:24.399
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension

1273
03:43:25.280 --> 03:43:46.559
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

1274
03:43:46.639 --> 03:43:54.479
down from ten down to one, and you can continue

1275
03:43:56.360 --> 03:43:59.840
to feel wonderfully relaxed.

1276
03:44:00.040 --> 03:44:00.319
Mhm.

1277
03:44:03.680 --> 03:44:19.440
Ten nine eight, seven, six.

1278
03:44:22.319 --> 03:44:31.440
Five four three.

1279
03:44:35.239 --> 03:44:56.000
Two one. Relax. So I'm just going to count down

1280
03:44:57.520 --> 03:45:02.200
for five down to one, and this a countdown if

1281
03:45:02.239 --> 03:45:09.319
you just focus on the numbers, just the numbers counting down,

1282
03:45:10.399 --> 03:45:19.520
and notice how you feel in this moment as you

1283
03:45:19.680 --> 03:45:27.200
hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting

1284
03:45:27.280 --> 03:45:37.399
down represent you feeling calmer, not just in your body,

1285
03:45:37.600 --> 03:45:45.959
but also relaxing your mind. And just notice how you feel.

1286
03:45:46.840 --> 03:45:52.719
There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing

1287
03:45:52.879 --> 03:46:18.879
to think about. Starting with number five life four three

1288
03:46:29.479 --> 03:46:54.559
two one. Now as you notice the gradual letting go

1289
03:46:56.959 --> 03:47:03.879
of the tension in your body. You may also begin

1290
03:47:04.200 --> 03:47:10.200
to notice and be aware of how your mind is

1291
03:47:11.280 --> 03:47:19.079
starting to slow down. This is just a natural thing

1292
03:47:19.600 --> 03:47:26.959
that happens. It's not really a special procedure. It's just

1293
03:47:27.159 --> 03:47:33.399
natural because as your body relaxes, your mind also starts

1294
03:47:33.440 --> 03:47:38.159
to relax and the more your mind relaxes, the more

1295
03:47:38.200 --> 03:47:43.440
your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle of relaxation.

1296
03:47:49.479 --> 03:47:58.000
And is that calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know,

1297
03:47:58.159 --> 03:48:03.760
even even if there's background and sounds either your side online,

1298
03:48:05.479 --> 03:48:11.399
it's still going to be quite calm. You know, you

1299
03:48:11.440 --> 03:48:16.120
haven't got the television on, there's no music in the

1300
03:48:16.159 --> 03:48:19.399
background unless you're listening to the recording. With music, of course,

1301
03:48:24.280 --> 03:48:26.440
you're very likely not going to be sitting in a

1302
03:48:26.559 --> 03:48:29.680
room with other people. Of course you might be, but

1303
03:48:30.959 --> 03:48:34.239
generally it's more ideal if you can do this on

1304
03:48:34.360 --> 03:48:45.680
your own, so no distractions, and when you stop thinking

1305
03:48:45.760 --> 03:49:03.319
about stuff, relaxation automatically rises and circumfort starts to grow.

1306
03:49:07.840 --> 03:49:14.520
And without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1307
03:49:14.920 --> 03:49:26.680
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1308
03:49:26.840 --> 03:49:37.000
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1309
03:49:37.120 --> 03:49:44.000
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1310
03:49:44.159 --> 03:49:48.000
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1311
03:49:48.120 --> 03:49:59.719
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

1312
03:50:00.200 --> 03:50:10.399
the process of this recording and others is simply two

1313
03:50:12.000 --> 03:50:22.360
allow you to take advantage of this space this time,

1314
03:50:25.360 --> 03:50:36.239
to just let go, to just be here, to be

1315
03:50:36.920 --> 03:50:50.319
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

1316
03:50:52.559 --> 03:51:04.000
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,

1317
03:51:05.200 --> 03:51:10.360
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself

1318
03:51:12.120 --> 03:51:27.159
in this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority

1319
03:51:28.399 --> 03:51:32.879
of the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep

1320
03:51:32.959 --> 03:51:39.719
part is the tiny bit of the end. The deeper

1321
03:51:41.040 --> 03:52:03.440
relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. You

1322
03:52:03.559 --> 03:52:10.600
can also, if you choose stay focused on my voice

1323
03:52:12.360 --> 03:52:39.159
and really enjoy the process of gradually relaxing each muscle

1324
03:52:43.760 --> 03:53:10.680
in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of

1325
03:53:10.920 --> 03:53:26.520
letting go completely. This time, I'm going to count from

1326
03:53:26.760 --> 03:53:36.920
six down to one, and you can notice your mind

1327
03:53:39.559 --> 03:53:52.959
calming down more with each number that you hear me say, naturally,

1328
03:53:54.040 --> 03:56:35.559
feeling calm, and slow, peaceful six five four three two one,

1329
03:56:56.719 --> 03:57:10.040
being aware how your mind has slowed right down, sinking

1330
03:57:12.639 --> 03:57:32.920
deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1331
03:57:33.239 --> 03:57:43.200
you may notice that there were some thoughts still there,

1332
03:57:45.760 --> 03:57:55.319
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

1333
03:57:55.399 --> 03:58:10.600
your attention. So what you can do is send love

1334
03:58:10.840 --> 03:58:24.479
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love like all

1335
03:58:24.600 --> 03:58:30.239
petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals

1336
03:58:30.319 --> 03:58:37.520
filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts

1337
03:58:37.760 --> 03:58:44.559
know that you're not abandoned in them. You just need them.

1338
03:58:45.760 --> 03:58:57.719
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet down.

1339
03:59:01.399 --> 03:59:01.760
For now.

1340
03:59:09.680 --> 03:59:14.680
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts, as we

1341
03:59:14.879 --> 03:59:20.079
count down this time from seven down to one. With

1342
03:59:20.239 --> 03:59:34.120
each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

1343
03:59:35.719 --> 03:59:47.559
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1344
03:59:49.000 --> 04:00:04.000
melt away and relax deeply. With every number, the thoughts

1345
04:00:04.159 --> 04:00:21.600
would become more and more relaxed. Starting with number seven

1346
04:00:40.840 --> 04:01:13.079
six five four.

1347
04:01:38.719 --> 04:02:12.000
Three two.

1348
04:02:30.559 --> 04:02:30.840
One.

1349
04:02:47.399 --> 04:03:05.159
I needing now notice how relaxed feeling in your body.

1350
04:03:13.559 --> 04:03:26.760
We're going to focus on your hands, because the more

1351
04:03:26.879 --> 04:03:33.920
relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body and

1352
04:03:34.239 --> 04:03:34.799
mind are.

1353
04:03:49.760 --> 04:03:50.079
And this.

1354
04:03:51.879 --> 04:04:02.040
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing

1355
04:04:02.559 --> 04:04:07.280
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or

1356
04:04:08.360 --> 04:04:18.639
tents in the fingers or anything like that. It's just

1357
04:04:19.159 --> 04:04:33.200
noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

1358
04:04:47.840 --> 04:04:58.319
Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the calmer your

1359
04:04:58.559 --> 04:05:10.399
mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout your body.

1360
04:05:16.360 --> 04:05:50.440
You may have already noticed your mind is starting to dressed,

1361
04:06:04.159 --> 04:06:19.600
facing just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to

1362
04:06:22.079 --> 04:06:33.559
experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands

1363
04:06:33.680 --> 04:06:35.040
and fingers.

1364
04:06:40.520 --> 04:06:41.159
More.

1365
04:06:44.040 --> 04:07:03.520
And more relaxed. With each number from eight down to one,

1366
04:07:08.559 --> 04:07:18.399
you can almost feel that healing and relaxing energy spreading

1367
04:07:19.639 --> 04:07:27.159
into your hands and fingers, becoming.

1368
04:07:31.120 --> 04:07:32.719
Yell more.

1369
04:07:34.639 --> 04:07:50.319
Relaxing with each number you hear, going down from eight

1370
04:07:51.159 --> 04:11:18.760
down to one, drifting twist in again starting with number eight, seven, five, four, three, two,

1371
04:12:07.920 --> 04:12:17.200
just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1372
04:12:18.840 --> 04:12:32.760
nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer. And this

1373
04:12:33.040 --> 04:12:40.639
is your natural state of being. This is how you

1374
04:12:40.959 --> 04:12:47.879
just normally feel when you take away all that other

1375
04:12:48.239 --> 04:12:55.200
stuff that we add, you know, things like stress, and

1376
04:12:55.399 --> 04:13:10.760
worrying and overthink in and anxiety, tension, just generally thinking

1377
04:13:10.840 --> 04:13:16.520
about stuff. When you take that away, which is what

1378
04:13:16.639 --> 04:13:28.559
we do what we do now, you're left with a

1379
04:13:28.680 --> 04:13:37.520
real sense of peacefulness which comes to you very quickly

1380
04:13:41.719 --> 04:13:52.559
because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort.

1381
04:13:56.159 --> 04:13:59.440
It's almost as if you've gone inside yourself and you've

1382
04:13:59.600 --> 04:14:14.200
found a special place where everything is peaceful, a place

1383
04:14:14.440 --> 04:14:22.319
where you can feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort,

1384
04:14:25.479 --> 04:14:32.879
a place where you can be you, where you can

1385
04:14:33.600 --> 04:14:40.239
accept yourself for who you are, a place where you're

1386
04:14:40.319 --> 04:14:50.760
not trying to please anybody else ever, a place where

1387
04:14:50.920 --> 04:15:00.319
you can actually not just love yourself, but in some

1388
04:15:00.440 --> 04:15:09.920
ways more importantly, you can like yourself appreciate who you are.

1389
04:15:18.760 --> 04:15:25.399
That sense of gratitude is in the air all around you.

1390
04:15:33.040 --> 04:15:40.879
That's also a place where you can actually feel the

1391
04:15:41.200 --> 04:15:56.479
healing energy soaking into your body. Heathing energy soaking into

1392
04:15:56.600 --> 04:16:06.600
your body, and that healing energy spreads through your veins,

1393
04:16:10.360 --> 04:16:17.200
traveling to each and every single part of your body,

1394
04:16:23.159 --> 04:16:27.760
and you start to realize that actually that healing energy

1395
04:16:30.200 --> 04:16:36.600
it's not just entered into your brain, it's become part

1396
04:16:37.159 --> 04:16:48.440
of your brain and that spinal fluid is now mixed

1397
04:16:48.520 --> 04:16:59.639
with healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so

1398
04:16:59.840 --> 04:17:11.159
much much more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but

1399
04:17:11.399 --> 04:17:20.959
also you start to realize that actually, what's happening now

1400
04:17:22.159 --> 04:17:31.399
with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body, it's

1401
04:17:31.600 --> 04:17:42.360
actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're

1402
04:17:42.440 --> 04:17:48.920
going to feel not just now, but tomorrow and the

1403
04:17:49.040 --> 04:17:58.760
next day. As your health improves, not just your physical health,

1404
04:17:58.920 --> 04:18:06.280
but your mental health. Things that used to bother you

1405
04:18:06.479 --> 04:18:13.600
in the past, for some reason, no longer have the

1406
04:18:13.719 --> 04:18:22.639
effect that they used to because something has changed deep

1407
04:18:23.120 --> 04:18:33.760
within you. Maybe things that used to cause you to

1408
04:18:33.920 --> 04:18:46.200
feel anger no longer have that power to control you

1409
04:18:48.719 --> 04:18:55.000
the way they seem to be able to before. As

1410
04:18:55.159 --> 04:19:05.600
you realize that you are the one who decides what

1411
04:19:05.959 --> 04:19:17.680
affects you, you're the one who decides to feel relaxed

1412
04:19:18.520 --> 04:19:31.319
and calm when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural

1413
04:19:32.360 --> 04:19:45.680
developments of healing continuing to grow and improve your life

1414
04:19:47.079 --> 04:19:58.959
day by day, including of course, your ability to relax

1415
04:19:59.559 --> 04:20:13.280
so much much easier and sleep in. It's the most

1416
04:20:13.559 --> 04:20:24.559
natural thing in the world to you, because falling asleep

1417
04:20:24.760 --> 04:20:33.079
is something that you've done so many times in your life,

1418
04:20:36.360 --> 04:20:40.360
and you know that you were born, as we all were,

1419
04:20:41.200 --> 04:20:51.120
with the ability to fall asleep naturally. We were born

1420
04:20:52.479 --> 04:21:02.879
with that ability to just drift off into a deep,

1421
04:21:04.200 --> 04:21:15.959
healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes we'll fall asleep

1422
04:21:16.040 --> 04:21:19.959
when we don't even want to try to tell you

1423
04:21:20.159 --> 04:21:24.559
stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in the morning, or

1424
04:21:24.600 --> 04:21:28.799
it's Christmas or holiday or something we look forward to.

1425
04:21:29.399 --> 04:21:33.440
We don't want to go to sleep. But the more

1426
04:21:34.000 --> 04:21:38.920
we want to stay awake, the more we just start

1427
04:21:39.000 --> 04:21:47.319
to drift. And the more you fight drifting, the more

1428
04:21:47.360 --> 04:21:52.079
you try and stop yourself and drift in asleep, the

1429
04:21:52.280 --> 04:22:04.120
deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not

1430
04:22:04.440 --> 04:22:10.520
just with the need to relax deeply and to naturally

1431
04:22:10.680 --> 04:22:20.840
fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA.

1432
04:22:27.879 --> 04:22:32.920
And sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at

1433
04:22:33.159 --> 04:22:46.280
times we have forgotten that relaxing completely is not only

1434
04:22:47.520 --> 04:23:11.000
a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very

1435
04:23:11.840 --> 04:23:18.040
very easy to let go, because that's all it is.

1436
04:23:18.200 --> 04:23:33.000
It's just deciding to let go. And when you press

1437
04:23:33.200 --> 04:23:41.360
the play button on my recordings, you have given permission

1438
04:23:43.719 --> 04:23:51.440
for my voice to relax you. When you press that

1439
04:23:51.639 --> 04:24:01.079
play button, You've given me permission for my words to

1440
04:24:01.280 --> 04:24:15.840
affect you in a positive, only a positive way, opening

1441
04:24:16.000 --> 04:24:39.239
up your mind to useful and healing suggestions that can

1442
04:24:39.520 --> 04:24:51.559
have such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,

1443
04:24:56.319 --> 04:25:06.120
as well as those changes that continue long after the

1444
04:25:06.280 --> 04:25:16.920
recording ends, those changes within you to continue to flourish

1445
04:25:17.799 --> 04:25:32.360
and grow, transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way,

1446
04:25:35.479 --> 04:25:42.479
allowing you to move forward in your life in the

1447
04:25:42.639 --> 04:25:59.799
direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling, this

1448
04:26:00.159 --> 04:26:15.799
feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness, just

1449
04:26:16.040 --> 04:26:29.680
feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

1450
04:26:37.559 --> 04:26:51.319
and that positivity grows within you each and every day

1451
04:26:54.440 --> 04:27:10.360
moving forward to find that you're more relaxed physically and

1452
04:27:10.559 --> 04:27:19.239
in your mind is more relaxed. And it's not that

1453
04:27:19.360 --> 04:27:24.879
you're thinking slower. It's just that your mind will be

1454
04:27:25.120 --> 04:27:36.920
less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from now on,

1455
04:27:37.639 --> 04:27:47.239
your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're trying to

1456
04:27:47.399 --> 04:28:04.280
start noticing when negativity arises and you can just say stop, stop,

1457
04:28:07.159 --> 04:28:13.920
and that negativity will turn around and leave you alone.

1458
04:28:21.920 --> 04:28:41.239
Stop and that negativity will disappear. And as you notice

1459
04:28:41.520 --> 04:28:49.840
that you feel way more relaxed than you probably expected,

1460
04:28:55.959 --> 04:29:05.559
you can now congratulate yourself because you're the person that

1461
04:29:05.719 --> 04:29:11.799
has done this. You are the one that has opened

1462
04:29:12.040 --> 04:29:19.719
your mind up to the simple facts that you can

1463
04:29:20.200 --> 04:29:24.799
feel more relaxed in your body and in your mind.

1464
04:29:31.000 --> 04:29:36.920
You've opened your mind up to the birthright of being

1465
04:29:36.959 --> 04:29:53.840
able to just fall asleep easily when you choose. And

1466
04:29:53.959 --> 04:30:00.920
that's a nice feeling. Don't you think it feels nice?

1467
04:30:01.040 --> 04:30:10.360
Doesn't it? To feel calm? All that healing energy is

1468
04:30:10.479 --> 04:30:21.360
spreading through your body and your mind to spend time

1469
04:30:21.600 --> 04:30:32.399
in a special place where negativity can no longer enter.

1470
04:30:38.840 --> 04:30:48.040
Negativity is banned. It's bad, it's not allowed entry. Doesn't

1471
04:30:48.319 --> 04:30:51.799
it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here. It doesn't

1472
04:30:51.959 --> 04:31:10.680
belong here. Negativity has no place in your life. Which

1473
04:31:10.799 --> 04:31:25.559
makes room feel more comfort, more healing, more relaxation, more peace.

1474
04:31:42.440 --> 04:31:43.959
It feels nice, doesn't it.

1475
04:31:45.799 --> 04:31:50.000
Just Let go.

1476
04:31:51.920 --> 04:32:11.360
With everything. I'm going to count down now from twenty

1477
04:32:11.600 --> 04:32:21.280
down to one. You can continue to relax if you choose.

1478
04:32:21.680 --> 04:32:22.399
You can.

1479
04:32:25.440 --> 04:32:35.920
Drift to sleep With every number you hear me say,

1480
04:32:40.239 --> 04:32:47.600
you can feel twice as relaxed, or if you choose,

1481
04:32:47.760 --> 04:34:53.959
you can feel twice as sleepy now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, tteenelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven,

1482
04:35:02.720 --> 04:35:57.040
six five Ooh, this is your time to just take

1483
04:35:57.080 --> 04:36:12.159
a break, your time to relax, to allow your mind

1484
04:36:12.360 --> 04:36:29.520
to slow down, to give yourself permission to take a

1485
04:36:29.680 --> 04:36:43.639
break from everything. And you're the only person that can

1486
04:36:43.799 --> 04:36:49.840
make that decision. You're the only person that can actually

1487
04:36:49.959 --> 04:37:09.360
tell your mind to just relax, to just take some

1488
04:37:09.680 --> 04:37:22.479
time off so that you can focus on your body,

1489
04:37:23.479 --> 04:37:38.400
getting in touch with how you feel physically. And in

1490
04:37:38.520 --> 04:37:46.279
the process of this body scan, where you focus on

1491
04:37:46.479 --> 04:37:56.560
different parts of your body, those parts that you focus

1492
04:37:56.720 --> 04:38:08.479
on and observe, even though you're not purposely requesting for

1493
04:38:08.639 --> 04:38:14.639
those parts of your body to relax, it's kind of expected.

1494
04:38:16.240 --> 04:38:21.799
You expect when you listen to my voice to feel

1495
04:38:22.799 --> 04:38:36.520
more relaxed naturally, because when you're listening to me, your

1496
04:38:36.560 --> 04:38:48.840
attention is focused on my words, and as my words

1497
04:38:49.799 --> 04:38:59.919
guide you to focus on those parts of your body,

1498
04:39:03.799 --> 04:39:25.919
your focus increases, which actually calms your mind. And when

1499
04:39:25.959 --> 04:39:45.319
your mind calms down, your body relaxes, and when your

1500
04:39:45.400 --> 04:40:09.159
body calms down, your mind relaxes, and even though we've

1501
04:40:09.319 --> 04:40:18.119
not really started the focus on your body, you can

1502
04:40:18.799 --> 04:40:34.159
already feel that healing energy spreading through your body, pushing

1503
04:40:34.400 --> 04:40:48.639
out stress and tension, healing all the parts of your body,

1504
04:40:50.560 --> 04:40:58.240
including your skin, your bones, your blood, all of your

1505
04:40:58.439 --> 04:41:04.159
organs inside your body, all of the muscles, all of

1506
04:41:04.240 --> 04:41:11.680
the fat, all of everything, every hair on your body

1507
04:41:13.880 --> 04:41:25.200
is filled with that healing energy. And when your brain

1508
04:41:29.840 --> 04:41:43.040
fills with that healing energy, the feeling of comfort and

1509
04:41:43.240 --> 04:42:09.360
relaxation increases deeply, increases in a way that your mind

1510
04:42:12.959 --> 04:42:26.479
starts to feel perhaps bit drowsy because it's not needed,

1511
04:42:29.840 --> 04:42:46.119
and it may start to drift if that's what's needed.

1512
04:42:49.279 --> 04:42:53.880
So if you're listening to this and what you need

1513
04:42:54.159 --> 04:42:59.840
is deep relaxation, that's what you get. If what you

1514
04:43:00.080 --> 04:43:08.119
you need is to fall asleep naturally and easily as

1515
04:43:08.159 --> 04:43:21.560
your mind drifts, that's also what will happen. Because by

1516
04:43:24.400 --> 04:43:29.639
pressing that play button on the podcast and listening to me,

1517
04:43:30.880 --> 04:43:39.400
you give permission for your body and your mind. In fact,

1518
04:43:44.319 --> 04:43:48.639
you give the command to your body and your mind

1519
04:43:48.919 --> 04:44:01.319
to relax deeply and to drift off to sleep, if

1520
04:44:01.560 --> 04:44:03.799
that's what you want.

1521
04:44:07.240 --> 04:44:07.680
Or need.

1522
04:44:15.360 --> 04:44:21.000
Then as I focus on the different parts of your body,

1523
04:44:26.000 --> 04:44:34.799
you may start to just drift, and then you come

1524
04:44:34.919 --> 04:44:40.159
back again and you hear me talking, and I'm focusing

1525
04:44:40.319 --> 04:44:42.560
on a different part of your body.

1526
04:44:48.279 --> 04:44:48.919
You may.

1527
04:44:50.840 --> 04:44:59.759
Find yourself drifting, but you don't realize you're drifting until

1528
04:44:59.759 --> 04:45:06.360
you stop drifting and you're alert again to my voice.

1529
04:45:07.759 --> 04:45:13.680
Focusing on a different part of your body starts to

1530
04:45:13.840 --> 04:45:24.680
relax even deeper, because that drifting is basically you already

1531
04:45:27.000 --> 04:45:36.840
in the sleep zone. And the more you drift, the

1532
04:45:37.040 --> 04:45:46.720
longer you drift, and the longer you drift, eventually that

1533
04:45:46.959 --> 04:45:57.159
drifting continues into sleep, and that's the last you remember

1534
04:45:59.240 --> 04:46:07.400
until you wait up in your own time when you

1535
04:46:07.720 --> 04:46:16.439
experience the right amount of sleep. Fear because when you do,

1536
04:46:18.360 --> 04:46:29.360
and if you do fall asleep, it's extremely pleasant. So relaxing,

1537
04:46:32.400 --> 04:46:49.599
so deep, healing sleep. I'm going to feel so nice

1538
04:46:51.799 --> 04:47:00.880
to relax into your own body and mind. If you

1539
04:47:01.959 --> 04:47:09.720
feel that heathing energy is spreading through you, relaxing, use

1540
04:47:09.919 --> 04:47:31.439
so deeply, relaxing, use so so deeply. As we start

1541
04:47:31.639 --> 04:47:47.680
to focus on your eyes, moving down to your jaw,

1542
04:47:55.599 --> 04:48:38.000
down to your neck, your shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, your chest,

1543
04:48:44.080 --> 04:49:18.119
your stomach, your back, yes, fine, your hips, your legs,

1544
04:49:26.000 --> 04:50:01.000
your feet, your toes, and I'm feeling heetings spreading and

1545
04:50:01.279 --> 04:50:15.279
growing inside your body, feeling you up. Now let's focus

1546
04:50:15.400 --> 04:50:25.319
again on parts of your body. Focusing this time on

1547
04:50:25.400 --> 04:50:38.279
your forehead. Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1548
04:50:41.479 --> 04:51:03.279
the whole of your mouth. Focusing on your fingers. Maybe

1549
04:51:03.639 --> 04:51:07.840
you could move your fingers a little bit. You can

1550
04:51:08.959 --> 04:51:23.599
focus on each one individually, both hands, and even though

1551
04:51:23.840 --> 04:51:28.840
if you focus on both of your hands now they

1552
04:51:28.919 --> 04:51:37.080
almost seem to just melt into one, where there is

1553
04:51:37.159 --> 04:51:44.759
your right hand start and your left hand end, almost

1554
04:51:44.919 --> 04:51:56.439
as if just mixed together. Now focusing on your knees,

1555
04:52:02.360 --> 04:52:25.319
just noticing how your knees feel. Now, focusing on your elbows,

1556
04:52:28.080 --> 04:52:40.520
focusing on both of your elbows, just observing the feeling

1557
04:52:43.200 --> 04:53:15.119
of your elbows. Now focusing observing the back of your neck,

1558
04:53:25.080 --> 04:54:02.759
feeding the energy on the back of your neck. Observing

1559
04:54:05.080 --> 04:54:24.439
your ankles, being aware of physical sensations in your ankles,

1560
04:55:24.479 --> 04:55:43.400
noticing now your toes on both of your feet, being

1561
04:55:43.599 --> 04:56:39.159
aware how you toes fear right now nottice thin high

1562
04:56:39.240 --> 04:57:28.639
you entire body fails. Noticing your mind feels now letting go,

1563
04:57:37.400 --> 04:58:18.799
letting go, letting go everything, letting go, letting go, letting

1564
04:58:19.479 --> 04:58:46.119
go everything, everything. I'm going to start now, and I

1565
04:58:46.119 --> 04:58:48.240
would like you just, first of all, just to see

1566
04:58:48.279 --> 04:58:56.479
yourself lying down on that message table, lying on your front.

1567
04:58:57.720 --> 04:59:05.680
Your head is supported, your arms are supported, and you

1568
04:59:05.759 --> 04:59:12.439
feel comfortable, and breathing is really easy, and you feel

1569
04:59:15.959 --> 04:59:18.919
you feel confident in how you look as well. So

1570
04:59:19.360 --> 04:59:23.520
there's none of that issue of body problems or shyness,

1571
04:59:24.400 --> 04:59:32.520
because I'm a professional and this is a therapy session,

1572
04:59:33.360 --> 04:59:41.279
so none of that stuff matters whatsoever. This is about you.

1573
04:59:44.159 --> 04:59:49.919
This is about how you feel and how you can

1574
04:59:51.400 --> 04:59:57.000
enjoy that sense of comfort and relaxation that comes from

1575
04:59:58.400 --> 05:00:03.479
letting go and allow in my hands and my fingers

1576
05:00:04.000 --> 05:00:15.360
to relax you by a message your body. So I

1577
05:00:15.479 --> 05:00:20.439
want to starts off just by placing my hands on

1578
05:00:20.560 --> 05:00:24.840
the back of your head, just gently, just so you

1579
05:00:25.000 --> 05:00:29.439
can feel, well, my hands feel like really on you,

1580
05:00:33.919 --> 05:00:36.240
so you can maybe feel the warmth of my hands

1581
05:00:36.319 --> 05:00:41.680
on the back of your head. And with my hands

1582
05:00:41.720 --> 05:00:44.959
to the side of your head, not pressing, but just

1583
05:00:45.400 --> 05:00:51.720
holding there very gently, maybe over your ears and a

1584
05:00:51.799 --> 05:00:55.279
little bit on your face, just so you can feel

1585
05:00:56.200 --> 05:01:02.520
my hands so you can become a customed to them.

1586
05:01:11.159 --> 05:01:13.319
And now put my hands on the back of your

1587
05:01:13.400 --> 05:01:20.799
head again and gently let them slide down onto the

1588
05:01:20.880 --> 05:01:37.840
back of your neck. You can feel my hands gently

1589
05:01:38.119 --> 05:01:40.400
stroke in the back of your neck to start with,

1590
05:01:45.000 --> 05:01:48.759
just so you can get used to the the feeling

1591
05:01:48.959 --> 05:01:52.080
of my hands on your skin, get accustomed to it,

1592
05:01:55.919 --> 05:02:00.799
realize that you're safe and so all good. It's all fine,

1593
05:02:07.200 --> 05:02:11.279
And I'm going to start gently massaging the muscles in

1594
05:02:11.360 --> 05:02:27.200
the back of your neck with both hands. Now, this

1595
05:02:27.360 --> 05:02:33.560
is a very trusting situation, really, because our necks are

1596
05:02:33.680 --> 05:02:38.840
so fragile and to have someone have their hands around

1597
05:02:38.919 --> 05:02:44.040
your neck in that way can sometimes be problematic for people,

1598
05:02:45.279 --> 05:02:49.720
which is why massages are quite good, because it allows

1599
05:02:49.799 --> 05:02:59.720
you to relax and to get in touch with trust,

1600
05:03:04.040 --> 05:03:15.919
to feel peaceful and calm. And there's a massage the

1601
05:03:16.240 --> 05:03:24.200
sides of your neck, gently moving from the bottom of

1602
05:03:24.279 --> 05:03:27.959
your neck. It would be sort of near where your

1603
05:03:28.040 --> 05:03:33.360
shoulders start, I guess, all the way up to your

1604
05:03:33.520 --> 05:03:39.080
jaw your ears kind of area that side of your neck.

1605
05:03:41.799 --> 05:03:44.400
Of course, it's a lot longer than the front of

1606
05:03:44.479 --> 05:04:00.560
your neck. And then massage in the back of your neck,

1607
05:04:04.400 --> 05:04:13.200
especially that area where perhaps we hold tension, and as

1608
05:04:13.279 --> 05:04:17.919
that area's message, you can actually feel a sense of

1609
05:04:18.080 --> 05:04:26.119
release in the back of your neck and maybe you

1610
05:04:26.279 --> 05:04:31.560
can breathe it out as well. Notice how it feels,

1611
05:04:31.840 --> 05:04:44.439
Notice how you feel. And then moving down to that

1612
05:04:44.680 --> 05:04:50.000
area between your neck and your shoulders, that musty area,

1613
05:04:52.720 --> 05:05:00.159
starting to massage that area on both sides. I mean,

1614
05:05:00.240 --> 05:05:02.520
this would be the area that a lot of people

1615
05:05:02.560 --> 05:05:05.439
would message if they were going to give you, like

1616
05:05:05.520 --> 05:05:11.439
a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders, but

1617
05:05:11.599 --> 05:05:15.880
it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders from

1618
05:05:15.919 --> 05:05:22.279
the neck, and again that can hold tension and stress.

1619
05:05:23.520 --> 05:05:28.520
And when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful.

1620
05:05:31.599 --> 05:05:47.040
And you decide how deep that message is, and just

1621
05:05:47.200 --> 05:05:54.159
allow my knuckles just to dig in to get to

1622
05:05:54.279 --> 05:06:04.279
those muscles and to realy extent, all the time being

1623
05:06:04.560 --> 05:06:22.080
fair yet gentle with you and just stroking down the

1624
05:06:22.279 --> 05:06:30.799
area to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of

1625
05:06:30.880 --> 05:06:42.000
your shoulders, and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders

1626
05:06:42.040 --> 05:06:45.360
a little bit off the table, just to give you

1627
05:06:45.479 --> 05:06:55.840
a little bit of a stretch, but very gently, and

1628
05:06:55.959 --> 05:06:58.520
you've got the muscles at the front of your shoulders

1629
05:06:59.279 --> 05:07:00.080
the side.

1630
05:07:00.159 --> 05:07:00.680
In the back.

1631
05:07:08.840 --> 05:07:13.279
Again, this is a part that can really take quite

1632
05:07:13.279 --> 05:07:21.000
a bit of pressure, quite a bit of needing. If

1633
05:07:21.439 --> 05:07:29.319
if you wish to really release the tension to really

1634
05:07:29.439 --> 05:07:35.799
get into those muscles, and you can let your fingers

1635
05:07:35.880 --> 05:07:42.240
in there. They can feel really nice. Sometimes just being

1636
05:07:42.479 --> 05:07:52.720
stroked gently or being messaged quite strongly, it can all

1637
05:07:52.799 --> 05:08:03.240
be beneficial to the relaxation. Put the muscles in your shoulders.

1638
05:08:13.119 --> 05:08:22.520
Now as we move down your arms, we do one

1639
05:08:22.799 --> 05:08:32.720
arm at a time, starting with your right arm. My

1640
05:08:32.880 --> 05:08:37.759
ideas I just lift your arm up, just hold it

1641
05:08:37.840 --> 05:08:43.360
to the side of you by way it still be attached,

1642
05:08:45.360 --> 05:09:00.119
and I just message the tops of your arms all

1643
05:09:00.119 --> 05:09:17.720
the way down to your forearms into your wrists, gently

1644
05:09:18.119 --> 05:09:31.040
massaging that part, the softer part, which is the underpart

1645
05:09:31.119 --> 05:09:37.119
of the arm, which leads to the crease in your elbow.

1646
05:09:37.680 --> 05:09:53.119
The inside. It's much more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having

1647
05:09:53.200 --> 05:10:12.080
that stroked I feel really nice, pleasurable and relaxing. Now,

1648
05:10:12.240 --> 05:10:22.959
moving down to your right hand, just holding your hand

1649
05:10:26.279 --> 05:10:36.000
in both of my hands, just pressing gently on the

1650
05:10:36.080 --> 05:10:43.959
back of your hand and stretching your fingers ever so lightly,

1651
05:10:47.240 --> 05:10:54.159
at the same time pressing down and messaging each finger

1652
05:11:02.200 --> 05:11:06.240
and then starting to massage the palms of the hand.

1653
05:11:12.919 --> 05:11:23.959
Just turning the hand gently, stretching it gently, and actually

1654
05:11:24.080 --> 05:11:30.520
having your hand held can really be an emotional experience

1655
05:11:30.959 --> 05:11:36.959
sometimes even if it is a stranger. So when you

1656
05:11:37.040 --> 05:11:42.599
don't know very well, like a massage person or a therapist,

1657
05:11:42.759 --> 05:11:57.680
maybe because it's intimate and you can feel nice, you

1658
05:11:57.759 --> 05:11:58.680
can feel safe.

1659
05:12:00.200 --> 05:12:00.319
Hm.

1660
05:12:06.479 --> 05:12:09.400
And as I put that right arm back down where

1661
05:12:09.439 --> 05:12:17.639
it was, we're gonna do the same with your left arm,

1662
05:12:21.040 --> 05:12:30.840
exactly the same. Massage in the muscles in your arm

1663
05:12:31.319 --> 05:12:39.360
all the way down. Do you rest, stroking the inside

1664
05:12:39.479 --> 05:12:48.959
of your arm, just being gentle or as firm as

1665
05:12:49.080 --> 05:13:08.959
you require. And then message in your left hand, stretching

1666
05:13:09.040 --> 05:13:18.479
the fingers gently, massaging the palm of your left hand.

1667
05:13:30.520 --> 05:13:58.439
You can feel so so relaxing, so comforting, And I

1668
05:13:58.639 --> 05:14:10.759
just rest your left are back down. Start to massage

1669
05:14:11.279 --> 05:14:21.080
your back, the biggest part of your body, starting at

1670
05:14:21.119 --> 05:14:27.240
the top, starting again where we already be have been,

1671
05:14:28.000 --> 05:14:32.639
the area at the top in between your shoulders, near

1672
05:14:32.720 --> 05:14:37.919
your neck. Going back with a massage in that area again,

1673
05:14:39.040 --> 05:14:52.799
but this time moving downwards, taking a downward stroke to

1674
05:14:52.799 --> 05:14:59.319
the middle of your back, working from the outside inwards

1675
05:15:00.520 --> 05:15:07.919
it's a massage in the your back, but the outsides

1676
05:15:08.279 --> 05:15:17.840
of your back, the parts where your arms would maybe

1677
05:15:18.319 --> 05:15:31.000
rest against, almost the part that connects your front to

1678
05:15:31.200 --> 05:15:49.119
your back. Just messaging down firmly but gently, as firm

1679
05:15:49.200 --> 05:15:56.840
as you want, moving down, and then moving across a

1680
05:15:56.919 --> 05:16:00.439
little bed and moving all the way down again, be

1681
05:16:00.720 --> 05:16:13.520
very gentle yet firm as you choose. Eventually we get

1682
05:16:13.599 --> 05:16:18.639
to the spine. We can message the muscles and either

1683
05:16:18.799 --> 05:16:22.119
side of your spine from the top of your neck

1684
05:16:22.560 --> 05:16:34.040
all the way down to your lower back. We can

1685
05:16:34.200 --> 05:16:43.560
do that a few times. Sometimes people use the knuckle

1686
05:16:44.479 --> 05:16:49.639
or the two fingers and just go your side of

1687
05:16:49.720 --> 05:16:54.880
the spine almost just push down, go all the way

1688
05:16:55.000 --> 05:17:01.119
down to the bottom of the spine, each time releasing

1689
05:17:02.200 --> 05:17:12.319
tension and opening up the body, stretching your body so

1690
05:17:12.479 --> 05:17:19.799
that you feel more relaxed but at the same time rejuvenated.

1691
05:17:31.159 --> 05:17:34.400
And now I'm going to move to one side, to

1692
05:17:34.560 --> 05:17:41.880
your right side, and from the bottom of your ribs

1693
05:17:43.799 --> 05:17:49.360
to your pelvis, I'm going to massage that area of

1694
05:17:49.479 --> 05:17:54.479
your back. I'll stretch over the other side and i

1695
05:17:54.520 --> 05:18:01.119
will pull the muscles gently and massage and push from

1696
05:18:01.159 --> 05:18:04.000
one end that side or the way to my side,

1697
05:18:06.040 --> 05:18:08.919
to the middle of fact to where your spine is

1698
05:18:10.319 --> 05:18:15.959
massaging that side of your spine the opposite side to

1699
05:18:16.040 --> 05:18:23.880
where I'm standing. It's almost like kneading bread. There's that

1700
05:18:24.080 --> 05:18:31.000
big area which is firm yet lots there to message.

1701
05:18:36.159 --> 05:18:40.479
Potentially one of the most important places to actually have

1702
05:18:41.040 --> 05:18:48.439
a message because you really feel it. You really feel

1703
05:18:48.639 --> 05:18:54.000
the release and the pleasure of having your lower back massaged.

1704
05:18:57.200 --> 05:19:02.799
It releases so much from your body that's not useful,

1705
05:19:06.040 --> 05:19:11.599
starting a healing process which will continue long after this

1706
05:19:11.799 --> 05:19:23.880
recording is over. The message in this part of your

1707
05:19:23.959 --> 05:19:29.319
body not only feels really good for you, it's actually

1708
05:19:29.439 --> 05:19:33.479
fun to do because it is, as I said, like

1709
05:19:33.680 --> 05:19:38.840
kneading bread. It's a part that you can really get

1710
05:19:39.040 --> 05:19:46.400
hold of and really message deeply. If that's your choice,

1711
05:19:54.400 --> 05:19:56.319
then I'm going to move over to the other side

1712
05:19:56.360 --> 05:20:02.799
of your body and do the same with the opposite

1713
05:20:02.919 --> 05:20:12.240
part of your lower back. Kneeding and messaging from your

1714
05:20:12.439 --> 05:20:19.880
sides or way to the middle of your back where

1715
05:20:19.919 --> 05:20:33.560
your spine is pressing and kneading firm and gentle at

1716
05:20:33.599 --> 05:20:48.840
the same time. It feels so releasing this mixture of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness,

1717
05:20:49.200 --> 05:21:00.840
relaxation or mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your

1718
05:21:00.919 --> 05:21:06.040
stomach as it's been stretched. Even though you're in your

1719
05:21:06.159 --> 05:21:10.439
stomach now, you can feel it being stretched because that

1720
05:21:10.599 --> 05:21:21.959
whole area is connected to your stomach. Now we're going

1721
05:21:22.040 --> 05:21:26.959
to move or move further up to your top of

1722
05:21:27.040 --> 05:21:31.479
your body, and I we do the same this time,

1723
05:21:32.799 --> 05:21:39.599
starting with your upper back. Put my hands forward over

1724
05:21:40.880 --> 05:21:47.080
and mess massage in that area up to your spine,

1725
05:21:48.279 --> 05:21:50.880
from the side of your body up to your spine.

1726
05:21:52.680 --> 05:21:58.840
So some of that message area, the muscle, tissue or

1727
05:21:58.840 --> 05:22:02.880
whatever fatity you even will be possibly from your chest

1728
05:22:04.720 --> 05:22:08.799
because all connected the chest and the back connect together.

1729
05:22:11.959 --> 05:22:15.240
I'm going to be massaging and just pulling some of

1730
05:22:15.319 --> 05:22:23.279
that skin from your side up and massaging that area

1731
05:22:26.279 --> 05:22:30.439
of your upper back all the way to your spine.

1732
05:22:34.880 --> 05:22:37.080
And then I'll move down a bit and I'll continue

1733
05:22:37.680 --> 05:22:40.439
with the middle of your back doing exactly the same

1734
05:22:40.560 --> 05:22:57.840
thing as gentle or as deep as you choose. Now

1735
05:22:57.959 --> 05:23:02.279
I'll move the other side again and do the exact

1736
05:23:02.479 --> 05:23:06.200
same thing with the top of your back on the

1737
05:23:06.279 --> 05:23:15.840
other side, from pretty much underneath your arm area really

1738
05:23:21.240 --> 05:23:30.799
to your spine, and then continue in that all the

1739
05:23:30.880 --> 05:23:35.840
way down, including your lower your middle of your back.

1740
05:23:49.520 --> 05:23:54.680
I'm gonna go to your thighs, the backs of your thighs,

1741
05:23:57.400 --> 05:24:04.799
and the sides of your thighs, starting with your right leg.

1742
05:24:07.119 --> 05:24:14.479
Massage in the back and the sides of your thighs

1743
05:24:16.959 --> 05:24:23.360
gently and firmly. There's a lot of muscles there. It's

1744
05:24:23.400 --> 05:24:26.639
an area that can be very tense at times and

1745
05:24:26.840 --> 05:24:30.240
maybe needs a little bit more pressure than the rest

1746
05:24:30.279 --> 05:24:38.439
of the body that's up to you. You can gently

1747
05:24:38.599 --> 05:24:45.880
stroke the back of your legs where you know, opposite

1748
05:24:45.919 --> 05:24:51.479
your knee joint or underneath your knee joint, very sensitive,

1749
05:24:51.759 --> 05:25:04.360
gentle area. And then working down to your calf muscles.

1750
05:25:07.279 --> 05:25:13.639
Massage in your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose,

1751
05:25:17.119 --> 05:25:34.040
using both hands and fingers, digging deep to your ankles,

1752
05:25:36.319 --> 05:25:41.959
in the back of your back of your ankles, just

1753
05:25:42.279 --> 05:25:53.840
gently massage in that area, maybe lifting the leg and

1754
05:25:54.720 --> 05:26:09.240
stretching out a little bit. Moving to the right foot,

1755
05:26:17.240 --> 05:26:26.919
massage in the bottom of your feet and the side

1756
05:26:27.080 --> 05:26:38.479
of your feet gently but firm enough so they don't tickle,

1757
05:26:44.000 --> 05:26:49.479
and just allow the pleasure that you get from having

1758
05:26:49.560 --> 05:26:58.959
your feet message to just overtake you. As I continue

1759
05:26:59.080 --> 05:27:05.639
to message feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides,

1760
05:27:08.319 --> 05:27:14.000
your arches, your heel. You can put a lot of

1761
05:27:14.119 --> 05:27:19.959
pressure into your heel and it feels amazing, Yet the

1762
05:27:20.200 --> 05:27:28.240
arches need to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your

1763
05:27:28.400 --> 05:27:34.840
toes gently, the message in the bottoms of your toes

1764
05:27:35.599 --> 05:27:50.880
with my fingers, each one individually. Moving over to the

1765
05:27:51.040 --> 05:28:00.439
left leg to do exactly the same thing. Starting at

1766
05:28:00.479 --> 05:28:04.919
the top of the thighs. Work in the back of

1767
05:28:05.000 --> 05:28:13.439
the thighs and sides, massaging deeply and gently that whole area,

1768
05:28:17.919 --> 05:28:27.279
working all the way down. And this is an area

1769
05:28:27.400 --> 05:28:35.439
that maybe you could like to spend more time relaxing

1770
05:28:35.560 --> 05:28:42.080
and massaging. So perhaps if you wanted, I could big

1771
05:28:42.159 --> 05:28:48.200
a future recording wants spend more time on one particular area.

1772
05:28:53.959 --> 05:29:06.279
As you move down to your calf muscles, massaging your

1773
05:29:06.400 --> 05:29:21.959
calf muscles firmly and gently, moving down your aincor into

1774
05:29:22.040 --> 05:29:29.639
your feet, Massage in the backs of your feet, the

1775
05:29:29.799 --> 05:29:38.959
bottoms of your feet, stretching your toes, and massage in

1776
05:29:39.080 --> 05:29:47.000
each toe individually. And the feeling of pleasure and release

1777
05:29:47.279 --> 05:29:54.040
that you experience when your having your feet massaged feels

1778
05:29:54.560 --> 05:30:14.240
really good. Now she turn over in your mind laying

1779
05:30:14.319 --> 05:30:27.000
on your back. I'm just going to start again for

1780
05:30:27.080 --> 05:30:41.919
your neck area, in your shoulders, just to get back

1781
05:30:42.000 --> 05:30:51.479
in touch with that area. And as you move up,

1782
05:30:59.279 --> 05:31:04.119
I can clean my hands, make them more fresh, because

1783
05:31:04.159 --> 05:31:13.200
now I'm going to massage your face gently, starting off

1784
05:31:13.279 --> 05:31:23.919
with your forehead. Your eyes are closed and I can

1785
05:31:24.119 --> 05:31:29.840
just stretch your eyes a little bit, pushing up on

1786
05:31:30.000 --> 05:31:48.680
your eyebrows, just massaging around your scalp, massaging down your cheeks,

1787
05:31:50.200 --> 05:32:02.599
around your ears, into your chaw, gently the side of

1788
05:32:02.720 --> 05:32:24.720
your neck, your chin. M then just moving down from

1789
05:32:24.840 --> 05:32:32.119
your neck down to your chest, starting by message in

1790
05:32:32.240 --> 05:32:39.240
the very top of your chest where the collar phone

1791
05:32:39.360 --> 05:32:53.479
is either side of the collarbone, and then just message

1792
05:32:53.639 --> 05:33:05.840
in the hole of the chest, moving the chest around,

1793
05:33:14.639 --> 05:33:19.400
because it's quite a large area. You can move from

1794
05:33:19.479 --> 05:33:30.599
one side to the next, moving my hands underneath pretty

1795
05:33:30.680 --> 05:33:40.240
much where your arms are stretching up, stretching some of

1796
05:33:40.319 --> 05:33:48.279
the muscles of your back in the process, moving up

1797
05:33:49.439 --> 05:34:09.240
over your chest and they're moving down again, and then

1798
05:34:09.319 --> 05:34:15.159
allowing my hands to just massage gently and slide down

1799
05:34:16.479 --> 05:34:21.400
towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,

1800
05:34:24.880 --> 05:34:31.479
and then gradually my hands moving apart and massage in

1801
05:34:31.680 --> 05:34:40.759
and slide in at the same time, moving down to

1802
05:34:40.959 --> 05:34:56.639
just below your rib cage, moving down, then massaging up again,

1803
05:34:59.400 --> 05:35:07.319
giving your chests all the attention that it needs to

1804
05:35:07.520 --> 05:35:19.720
feel completely relaxed. Remembering that I'm also going to be

1805
05:35:19.840 --> 05:35:25.840
focusing on your sides as well, an area that really

1806
05:35:26.159 --> 05:35:33.720
doesn't get much attention but feels really good when it's massaged.

1807
05:35:38.639 --> 05:35:42.639
Just stroking my hands down the sides of your body,

1808
05:35:46.439 --> 05:35:49.840
just below your arms, all the way down to your hips.

1809
05:35:59.479 --> 05:36:05.360
Now move into your stomach area. I'm going to stand

1810
05:36:05.599 --> 05:36:08.159
one side of you like I did when I did

1811
05:36:08.240 --> 05:36:14.479
your lower back. We're gonna do a similar process of

1812
05:36:14.720 --> 05:36:29.520
just stretching the muscles from your side, gently massaging from

1813
05:36:29.599 --> 05:36:37.200
one side to the next, move in a whole area

1814
05:36:38.279 --> 05:36:42.200
from below your ribs all the way down to below

1815
05:36:42.279 --> 05:36:51.880
your belly button, and then move around to the other

1816
05:36:52.000 --> 05:37:07.799
side of you and repeat that process of relaxing deeply, calmly.

1817
05:37:10.959 --> 05:37:18.119
You feel loose, you feel free. And it's something about

1818
05:37:18.240 --> 05:37:23.080
having your stomach message that's different from any other part

1819
05:37:26.599 --> 05:37:31.080
because we do have a tendency of holding a different

1820
05:37:31.240 --> 05:37:35.279
kind of stress in our stomachs that we may not

1821
05:37:35.400 --> 05:37:46.400
be aware of, as in our message your stomach, in

1822
05:37:46.520 --> 05:37:54.000
front of your stomach, making circles around your belly button,

1823
05:38:00.040 --> 05:38:09.520
and going the other way around. There's a gentleness and

1824
05:38:09.639 --> 05:38:21.159
a freedom that comes from feeling how you're feeling. As

1825
05:38:21.240 --> 05:38:28.159
I now move down the tops of your thighs, the muscles,

1826
05:38:28.799 --> 05:38:33.880
massaging them, and I can do this two legs at

1827
05:38:33.919 --> 05:38:44.560
the same time, pressing down, massaging deeply those muscles in

1828
05:38:44.639 --> 05:38:53.919
your thighs, the front of your thighs, and moving down

1829
05:38:54.240 --> 05:39:05.599
to your knees, gently massaging your knees, Sliding down your shins,

1830
05:39:07.720 --> 05:39:15.040
putting pressure on either side of your shin gently, softly

1831
05:39:15.680 --> 05:39:29.400
but firmly, moving down to your ankles, stroking the tops

1832
05:39:29.639 --> 05:39:40.319
of your feet, and then with each foot in each hand,

1833
05:39:41.200 --> 05:39:49.520
just gently messaging the whole of the foot, the top,

1834
05:39:49.799 --> 05:39:58.479
the bottom, your heel, your ankle, your toes, messaging every

1835
05:39:58.919 --> 05:40:00.000
part of your feet.

1836
05:40:00.000 --> 05:40:00.200
Eat.

1837
05:40:04.919 --> 05:40:09.959
It feels so good just to let go and enjoy

1838
05:40:10.439 --> 05:40:34.439
the process, enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed, so much comfort

1839
05:40:34.680 --> 05:40:41.639
and so many feelings to come just from touching your skin.

1840
05:40:52.400 --> 05:40:58.319
And you can just lie there for as long as

1841
05:40:58.400 --> 05:41:10.959
you choose, enjoying the feeling of deep comfort from being

1842
05:41:11.119 --> 05:41:42.880
massaged by me. Enjoy feeling deeply raxed, And all we're

1843
05:41:42.919 --> 05:41:52.080
gonna do is blow out some candles. In your mind,

1844
05:42:03.680 --> 05:42:13.919
there are going to be one hundred candles, and you're

1845
05:42:13.959 --> 05:42:20.279
going to blow each one out individually, one by one,

1846
05:42:22.919 --> 05:42:32.560
starting at one hundred. As I count down all the

1847
05:42:32.639 --> 05:42:40.439
way down to one, and each time I say a number,

1848
05:42:45.919 --> 05:42:52.799
you can imagine that candle in front of you, and

1849
05:42:52.840 --> 05:43:05.799
I'd like you to actually physically generally blow that candle out, H.

1850
05:43:08.959 --> 05:43:17.680
Just so it's not big blows, just a gentle h.

1851
05:43:21.080 --> 05:43:30.520
And that candle will extinguish. And then I'll say the

1852
05:43:30.639 --> 05:43:34.119
next number, So we moved down.

1853
05:43:37.119 --> 05:43:37.840
And you can just.

1854
05:43:39.400 --> 05:43:50.080
H blow that one out as well. And as we

1855
05:43:50.319 --> 05:44:00.639
move down the numbers, you'll find yourself feeding more and

1856
05:44:00.840 --> 05:44:09.279
more relaxed, and if you need to sleep, you'll also

1857
05:44:09.479 --> 05:44:21.040
find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact, you

1858
05:44:21.240 --> 05:44:31.439
may struggle to blow out all one hundred of these

1859
05:44:31.680 --> 05:44:56.560
candles as you feel more and more deeply relaxed, more

1860
05:44:56.840 --> 05:45:14.279
and more deep tired, And the further you go down,

1861
05:45:16.919 --> 05:45:30.560
the more your mind starts to drift. You may find

1862
05:45:30.959 --> 05:45:45.360
that you stop listening to me after a while. And

1863
05:45:45.560 --> 05:45:49.720
even though there may be background sounds where you are.

1864
05:45:54.599 --> 05:46:00.720
You'll be aware of those sounds the moment.

1865
05:46:05.759 --> 05:46:06.240
Be me.

1866
05:46:09.759 --> 05:46:24.560
Start to just not even notice them at all, because

1867
05:46:24.680 --> 05:46:38.240
they're unimportant. Where I am, I've got the sounds of

1868
05:46:38.360 --> 05:46:45.319
the birds, there's horrors, the pigeon who likes to say

1869
05:46:45.400 --> 05:46:51.680
hello sometimes, and there's the odd plane that goes by,

1870
05:46:54.720 --> 05:47:08.119
maybe traffic and trains in the distance, But none of

1871
05:47:08.200 --> 05:47:22.279
that scenes important whatsoever. More candles you blow out, the

1872
05:47:22.439 --> 05:47:25.880
less important anything.

1873
05:47:27.080 --> 05:47:27.119
Is.

1874
05:47:31.759 --> 05:47:40.799
The more candles you blow out, the further you seem

1875
05:47:41.200 --> 05:47:56.400
to move away from sounds and from general.

1876
05:47:59.439 --> 05:47:59.639
Date.

1877
05:48:00.200 --> 05:48:10.639
Day's stuff seems to just move away on its own.

1878
05:48:15.959 --> 05:48:18.119
You feel more.

1879
05:48:20.360 --> 05:48:41.240
Calma with every candle you blow out, guiding you the

1880
05:48:41.479 --> 05:48:54.439
next number. Do you hear me say? And then you

1881
05:48:54.639 --> 05:49:21.799
blow that candle out too? So easy, so simple. We're

1882
05:49:21.880 --> 05:49:36.360
gonna start by introducing the first candle, which is a hundred.

1883
05:49:40.799 --> 05:49:54.560
First candle, this is one hundred. When you blow that

1884
05:49:54.959 --> 05:50:14.479
candle out, you'll find immediately a slight change in how

1885
05:50:14.599 --> 05:50:25.959
you feel, as well as the real sense of positivity

1886
05:50:26.880 --> 05:51:01.279
growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding. Starting with one hundred,

1887
05:51:04.200 --> 05:51:59.919

1923
06:48:39.919 --> 06:48:46.040
concerns about the past, thoughts about the future, and even

1924
06:48:47.520 --> 06:48:51.880
things you've been thinking about today. Just let it all

1925
06:48:51.959 --> 06:48:58.200
go because none of it is useful in this moment.

1926
06:49:03.080 --> 06:49:18.479
This is your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed,

1927
06:49:22.759 --> 06:49:29.200
allowing yourself to get in touch with that natural sense

1928
06:49:31.279 --> 06:49:39.400
of peace that we all have within us. It's available

1929
06:49:39.479 --> 06:49:44.319
for everyone. It just sometimes takes a little bit of

1930
06:49:44.439 --> 06:49:51.880
effort to set up the right time and place in

1931
06:49:52.119 --> 06:49:58.319
order for you to just let go, because when you

1932
06:49:58.560 --> 06:50:06.319
do decide to let go and relax, that's what your

1933
06:50:06.360 --> 06:50:15.080
body starts to do because you've chosen, You've chosen to

1934
06:50:15.520 --> 06:50:22.639
just allow your body to unwind and your mind starts

1935
06:50:22.720 --> 06:50:30.200
to slow down. And it's a nice feeling. It's a

1936
06:50:30.279 --> 06:50:34.520
nice feeling at the beginning, just to know that you

1937
06:50:35.000 --> 06:50:45.279
have chosen to decide to relax deeply, and because you've

1938
06:50:45.400 --> 06:50:53.880
made that decision, your body will just follow suit. Because

1939
06:50:53.959 --> 06:50:58.599
sometimes all the muscles in your body need is just

1940
06:50:58.919 --> 06:51:08.159
permission from you to relax. Because so often we're busy,

1941
06:51:08.439 --> 06:51:12.639
we're going from here to there, we're walking around and

1942
06:51:12.759 --> 06:51:20.080
we're doing stuff, and the body doesn't have any time

1943
06:51:20.360 --> 06:51:28.720
or space to really relax deeply. So it kind of

1944
06:51:28.840 --> 06:51:34.400
waits for you to lead the way, waits for your permission.

1945
06:51:38.720 --> 06:51:45.200
And when you do give your permission, when you give

1946
06:51:45.279 --> 06:51:51.560
the say so, when you say okay, it's time for

1947
06:51:51.680 --> 06:52:01.360
your body to let go completely and relax totally, your

1948
06:52:01.400 --> 06:52:10.840
body just follows. It's like a breath of relief. Ah, good,

1949
06:52:10.959 --> 06:52:17.880
I can now relax. That feeling at the end of

1950
06:52:17.919 --> 06:52:21.200
a day, of a very physical day that you may

1951
06:52:21.279 --> 06:52:25.119
experience in the past, where you get home and you

1952
06:52:25.319 --> 06:52:29.040
just sit down on a chair, maybe you kick your

1953
06:52:29.159 --> 06:52:35.400
shoes off, and ah, feels so nice knowing that you

1954
06:52:35.520 --> 06:52:39.639
don't have to get up again for a little while

1955
06:52:39.680 --> 06:52:43.400
at least if you choose, you can just sit there

1956
06:52:43.560 --> 06:52:56.080
for maybe an hour to It feels blissful. And just

1957
06:52:56.279 --> 06:53:01.319
by sitting down like that, your body knows that it's

1958
06:53:01.439 --> 06:53:07.119
time to relax. Your body has been given permission from you.

1959
06:53:09.360 --> 06:53:19.639
Because it's a mindset in your mind. You're prepared to

1960
06:53:19.840 --> 06:53:29.400
let go of everything and just completely allow all the

1961
06:53:29.720 --> 06:53:38.479
stress of your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just

1962
06:53:38.880 --> 06:53:58.240
gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really, because that sense

1963
06:53:58.520 --> 06:54:04.759
of real relaxation in your body, it's a very natural state.

1964
06:54:06.639 --> 06:54:11.240
It's not something unusual. It may feel unusual when you

1965
06:54:11.400 --> 06:54:14.680
first start to relax, if you if you haven't really

1966
06:54:16.119 --> 06:54:20.000
spent a lot of time focusing and giving yourself this

1967
06:54:20.200 --> 06:54:25.240
space to let go completely and relax may seem are

1968
06:54:25.400 --> 06:54:33.680
most alien, but it isn't. It's actually the most natural

1969
06:54:33.799 --> 06:54:42.360
thing in the world to let go completely, to relax totally,

1970
06:54:44.360 --> 06:54:51.080
the most natural thing in the world to allow yourself

1971
06:54:55.479 --> 06:55:02.840
to feel really calm in your mind, and it is

1972
06:55:03.119 --> 06:55:10.799
almost like a literal unwinding. It's like you press a

1973
06:55:10.919 --> 06:55:19.680
button and all the tension just releases, and it's like

1974
06:55:19.799 --> 06:55:23.759
a wheel, like a cog, like the inside of a clock,

1975
06:55:23.959 --> 06:55:27.799
just unwinding. And it's almost like you could see the

1976
06:55:28.799 --> 06:55:34.119
little wind up knob that's used just going the opposite

1977
06:55:34.200 --> 06:55:40.159
way that you choose to wind it up, and the

1978
06:55:40.439 --> 06:55:51.000
energy that frenetic stress for energy gradually winding down, losing

1979
06:55:51.119 --> 06:55:58.919
its power, losing its strength as a sense of relaxation

1980
06:55:59.279 --> 06:56:10.040
becomes stronger and deeper, and you may find a the

1981
06:56:10.279 --> 06:56:17.240
more relaxed you feel, that your mind starts to wonder,

1982
06:56:20.400 --> 06:56:26.240
maybe just seemed to stop listening to me for a while,

1983
06:56:26.400 --> 06:56:33.000
and your mind goes somewhere else, and then you realize

1984
06:56:33.040 --> 06:56:38.040
you're listening to me again, and that was just your

1985
06:56:38.200 --> 06:56:48.919
mind drifting to sleep, which is quite natural, because sometimes

1986
06:56:49.159 --> 06:56:56.200
when we're stressed and tense, we're not may not actually

1987
06:56:56.319 --> 06:57:01.240
be aware of what we need, what we physically your

1988
06:57:01.319 --> 06:57:11.560
emotionally need in this moment. But when you allow your

1989
06:57:11.639 --> 06:57:17.400
body and mind to relax completely and you let go

1990
06:57:17.560 --> 06:57:26.560
of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas, all letting them go,

1991
06:57:27.599 --> 06:57:36.200
allowing them to drop onto the floor. You start to

1992
06:57:38.360 --> 06:57:48.439
get in touch with the feelings of such relaxation. This

1993
06:57:49.240 --> 06:57:55.919
feels so nice to be in touch with the calmness

1994
06:57:57.880 --> 06:58:06.840
of the different body parts. Day become looser and looser.

1995
06:58:11.080 --> 06:58:23.240
Even your breathing seems easier and more natural, effortless, as

1996
06:58:23.319 --> 06:58:28.479
that cool air enters through your mouth or nose into

1997
06:58:28.599 --> 06:58:39.439
your lungs, breathing in comforts and relaxation, and then just

1998
06:58:39.599 --> 06:58:48.000
breathing out any excess remain intension or stress from every

1999
06:58:48.639 --> 06:58:56.520
part of your body and mind. As you start to

2000
06:58:56.639 --> 06:59:02.520
focus on your mind, me be, you noticed that things

2001
06:59:04.959 --> 06:59:10.759
have come to a standstill or maybe just much much

2002
06:59:11.319 --> 06:59:20.400
lower than before because your mind is not really needed

2003
06:59:21.919 --> 06:59:29.560
when listening to my voice, which allows your mind to

2004
06:59:29.799 --> 06:59:39.000
relax just as deeply as your body. And that's synchronicity

2005
06:59:39.919 --> 06:59:51.200
between the relaxation of your body and relaxation of your mind.

2006
06:59:53.560 --> 07:00:04.200
Let you know that feeling completely arm, loose, and relaxed.

2007
07:00:05.959 --> 07:00:06.959
Real is.

2008
07:00:08.759 --> 07:00:24.759
A great healing experience fear and has so many positive

2009
07:00:25.119 --> 07:00:33.080
benefits for your body, mind, and your life. To be

2010
07:00:33.200 --> 07:00:43.599
able to let go everything and to relax completely in

2011
07:00:44.479 --> 07:00:52.599
all parts of your body and mind. Even your bones

2012
07:00:53.000 --> 07:01:08.959
are relaxed, all your muscles are even the skin that

2013
07:01:09.360 --> 07:01:21.200
covers your body is relaxed. Every hair.

2014
07:01:24.040 --> 07:01:24.639
That you have.

2015
07:01:26.360 --> 07:01:44.520
Is also deeply relaxed. And your brain restarts to feel

2016
07:01:44.880 --> 07:01:46.279
the benefits.

2017
07:01:47.560 --> 07:01:47.880
Of this.

2018
07:01:49.479 --> 07:02:01.840
Healing relaxation. And as you focus on the inside of

2019
07:02:01.959 --> 07:02:07.639
your scalp where your brain is, you can start to

2020
07:02:07.959 --> 07:02:17.439
realize and notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply,

2021
07:02:21.799 --> 07:02:31.880
and it's your brain continues to relax sends those messages

2022
07:02:33.560 --> 07:02:42.240
to the rest of your body and your mind to rely,

2023
07:02:42.759 --> 07:03:04.360
relax even more deeply, relax and more completely, letting go

2024
07:03:04.639 --> 07:03:16.319
of any remaining thoughts or concerns, allow them just to

2025
07:03:16.639 --> 07:03:24.119
drop onto the floor because they're no longer necessary in

2026
07:03:24.840 --> 07:03:35.959

Everything.

2049
07:09:15.639 --> 07:09:21.840
We're going to do a body scan, focusing on firstly

2050
07:09:22.000 --> 07:09:26.720
how you feel in your body, not trying to change

2051
07:09:27.439 --> 07:09:33.040
how you feel, not trying to relax, not trying to

2052
07:09:33.240 --> 07:09:40.400
move away from any discomfort or stress or tension, just accepting,

2053
07:09:41.959 --> 07:09:47.040
observing and accepting how you feel in the different parts

2054
07:09:47.119 --> 07:09:53.799
of your body, Just allowing yourself to be exactly as

2055
07:09:53.880 --> 07:10:05.319
you are, to notice to get into touch with how

2056
07:10:05.400 --> 07:10:12.799
you actually feel in this moment. I'm going to start

2057
07:10:12.959 --> 07:10:23.840
off by focusing on your hands. Just be aware of

2058
07:10:24.000 --> 07:10:32.279
your hands. I'd like you to move your hands around,

2059
07:10:33.720 --> 07:10:39.279
just maybe move your fingers a little bit. I've been

2060
07:10:39.400 --> 07:10:45.400
and closing your hands very gently, just so that you

2061
07:10:45.639 --> 07:10:53.479
can get in touch with how your hands and your

2062
07:10:53.680 --> 07:11:15.000
fingers feel, very very slow movements. Focusing now on your feet,

2063
07:11:19.080 --> 07:11:22.400
and if you can just do kind of an equivalent

2064
07:11:23.080 --> 07:11:27.439
with your feet is you've just done with your hands,

2065
07:11:28.759 --> 07:11:37.639
Maybe turn in your ankles, moving your feet around, moving

2066
07:11:37.759 --> 07:11:47.759
your toes gently, but only very gently and very slowly,

2067
07:11:50.720 --> 07:12:06.159
noticing how your feet feel in this moment. Focusing now

2068
07:12:06.360 --> 07:12:13.560
and your eyes. I like you to just focus on

2069
07:12:13.720 --> 07:12:19.479
your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close your eyes

2070
07:12:19.639 --> 07:12:24.000
a couple of times to really get in touch with

2071
07:12:24.880 --> 07:12:29.560
how you feel when you do close your eyes. The

2072
07:12:29.720 --> 07:12:35.919
muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them.

2073
07:12:38.799 --> 07:12:45.159
Maybe raising your eyebrows, which stretches the tops of your eyes,

2074
07:12:48.400 --> 07:12:56.799
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes, just so

2075
07:12:56.959 --> 07:13:06.759
you can really again to with all aspects of how

2076
07:13:08.560 --> 07:13:25.599
your eyes feel. Right now, now focusing on your thighs,

2077
07:13:27.959 --> 07:13:32.240
and it just starts you to gently tense your thighs,

2078
07:13:33.599 --> 07:13:43.439
just very very gently, just enough so you can become

2079
07:13:45.000 --> 07:13:56.080
more attuned to the physical sensation of your upper legs,

2080
07:13:58.319 --> 07:14:01.479
the front of your thighs, on the backs of your thigh,

2081
07:14:06.040 --> 07:14:25.439
noticing and observing how your thighs fear. Right now, moving

2082
07:14:25.680 --> 07:14:34.119
your focus to the back of your neck, just noticing

2083
07:14:34.279 --> 07:14:40.319
the back of your neck, the muscles, and of course

2084
07:14:40.479 --> 07:14:44.759
they lead to the side of your neck. They also

2085
07:14:45.080 --> 07:14:49.919
lead to the top of your back, which leads to

2086
07:14:50.000 --> 07:14:55.520
your shoulders. So there's your focus on the back of

2087
07:14:55.599 --> 07:15:04.319
your neck. Maybe can move your head gently upwards, as

2088
07:15:04.360 --> 07:15:11.720
if you're looking up. Maybe moving your head down as

2089
07:15:11.759 --> 07:15:18.159
if you were looking down. Perhaps moving your head side

2090
07:15:18.360 --> 07:15:30.720
to side, right to left, but only very slowly, very gently.

2091
07:15:33.240 --> 07:15:38.439
I'm not trying to force anything. It has to be

2092
07:15:38.959 --> 07:15:47.319
very very gentle, just so that you can.

2093
07:15:48.880 --> 07:15:50.560
Be more.

2094
07:15:52.159 --> 07:16:01.560
In touch with the feelings, with the sense, the physical

2095
07:16:02.959 --> 07:16:12.240
sensations of how the back of your neck feels. Right now,

2096
07:16:19.799 --> 07:16:27.759
as we now focus on the tops of your arms,

2097
07:16:30.119 --> 07:16:34.959
the parts where your biceps and your triceps are between

2098
07:16:35.000 --> 07:16:42.720
your elbow and your shoulders. To focus on those parts

2099
07:16:43.759 --> 07:16:49.439
the tops of your arms, you may like to just

2100
07:16:50.200 --> 07:17:01.520
tense them, but very very gently and slowly. See you're

2101
07:17:01.560 --> 07:17:09.240
not straining or putting any pressure whatsoever.

2102
07:17:10.080 --> 07:17:11.000
On your arms.

2103
07:17:13.680 --> 07:17:20.360
It's just so that you can gain more of a

2104
07:17:20.680 --> 07:17:31.799
sense of how your upper arms are feeling in this moment,

2105
07:17:34.840 --> 07:17:45.560
and just noticing as you gently, very gently and slowly

2106
07:17:47.319 --> 07:17:58.279
tighten the muscles and then let go. Notice how the

2107
07:17:58.479 --> 07:18:00.680
tops of your arms feel.

2108
07:18:03.240 --> 07:18:03.880
Right now.

2109
07:18:11.880 --> 07:18:22.680
As a now focus on your stomach, the area the

2110
07:18:22.799 --> 07:18:29.159
lower abdomen area below your belly button, moving all the

2111
07:18:29.240 --> 07:18:42.959
way down to your hips, just above your grind. Maybe

2112
07:18:43.159 --> 07:18:50.799
you're able to tense these muscles in that area very

2113
07:18:53.040 --> 07:19:06.319
very gently and slowly. If that's a difficult thing to do,

2114
07:19:07.599 --> 07:19:15.799
and maybe you can just move your body, pushing your

2115
07:19:15.880 --> 07:19:20.759
stomach up, maybe moving a little bit to the side

2116
07:19:21.360 --> 07:19:29.520
using your hips, just so you can get more in

2117
07:19:29.919 --> 07:19:41.840
tune with how your lower abdomen area is feeling.

2118
07:19:44.279 --> 07:19:45.200
In this moment.

2119
07:19:51.799 --> 07:20:14.360
Just noticing the physical sensations of your lower abdomen as

2120
07:20:14.479 --> 07:20:28.000
you move your attention to your mouth, noticing your lips

2121
07:20:30.000 --> 07:20:38.479
and inside your mouth, your teeth, your guns, your tongue.

2122
07:20:48.040 --> 07:20:56.680
Just noticing how your tongue in your mouth feels. It

2123
07:20:56.840 --> 07:21:05.840
may help buy moving your tongue around your mouth, moving

2124
07:21:05.919 --> 07:21:13.319
it to your left, maybe pressing it gently against the

2125
07:21:13.599 --> 07:21:19.759
side of your mouth, and then to the right, gently

2126
07:21:20.279 --> 07:21:26.959
to the side of your mouth, perhaps pressing up against

2127
07:21:27.080 --> 07:21:35.080
the top of your mouth, and then down gently against

2128
07:21:35.200 --> 07:21:45.680
the bottom of your mouth, always very slowly, in a

2129
07:21:46.240 --> 07:21:56.080
very very gentle so that you can.

2130
07:21:59.639 --> 07:22:00.599
Be where.

2131
07:22:05.639 --> 07:22:27.880
Of how you feel in your mouth area. Now I'm

2132
07:22:27.919 --> 07:22:43.439
going to focus on your wrists, and I'm going to

2133
07:22:43.599 --> 07:22:52.400
ask you to maybe just routate your wrists by moving

2134
07:22:52.520 --> 07:23:02.919
your hands in a circular motion very gently and slowly,

2135
07:23:05.720 --> 07:23:23.759
just so that you can feel the sensations that you

2136
07:23:24.279 --> 07:23:40.720
are currently experiencing in your wrists. Perhaps move in your hands.

2137
07:23:41.959 --> 07:23:43.400
Up and down.

2138
07:23:45.799 --> 07:24:08.479
Again very very gently and slowly, very gentle.

2139
07:24:11.799 --> 07:24:13.159
And slow.

2140
07:24:26.599 --> 07:24:43.119
As we now start to observe your lower back. Their

2141
07:24:43.319 --> 07:24:53.240
back part is just above of your hips where your

2142
07:24:53.400 --> 07:25:06.400
copsis are a whole area which also really does include

2143
07:25:07.200 --> 07:25:13.439
the sides of your body, because those muscles are very

2144
07:25:13.560 --> 07:25:24.799
much connected as those muscles also move into your hip

2145
07:25:24.919 --> 07:25:33.040
aia connect into your buttocks the sides of your hips,

2146
07:25:41.560 --> 07:25:49.919
and if you're physically able to do so, maybe you

2147
07:25:50.080 --> 07:26:00.400
can very gently just move your body eversus life lightly,

2148
07:26:02.680 --> 07:26:19.279
very slowly some side to side, just enough to gauge

2149
07:26:24.560 --> 07:26:37.840
how you feel in your lower back. Perhaps it could

2150
07:26:38.000 --> 07:26:51.840
even move your hips gently up and down, gently and

2151
07:26:52.639 --> 07:26:57.400
slowly in order to.

2152
07:27:01.919 --> 07:27:03.520
Be in touch.

2153
07:27:05.840 --> 07:27:29.240
With the physical sensations of your lower back. As we

2154
07:27:29.560 --> 07:27:45.319
now move your attention to your jaw, the area from

2155
07:27:45.400 --> 07:27:50.599
your chin all the way up to near where your

2156
07:27:50.840 --> 07:28:06.799
ears are, the hole of your jaw, and you can,

2157
07:28:07.119 --> 07:28:15.959
just if it's okay to do so, gently open your mouth,

2158
07:28:18.840 --> 07:28:30.279
not wide, no stretching, just very gently and slowly open

2159
07:28:30.439 --> 07:28:43.639
in your mouth thing closing your mouth very gently and slowly,

2160
07:28:53.240 --> 07:28:54.159
so you can.

2161
07:28:57.080 --> 07:28:58.279
Be in touch.

2162
07:29:04.799 --> 07:29:42.680
With how your jaw feels. Now noticing now your chest area,

2163
07:29:52.200 --> 07:29:57.080
and you don't need to do anything to move your

2164
07:29:57.360 --> 07:30:08.520
chest because it moves every time you breathe, and it

2165
07:30:08.759 --> 07:30:23.279
moves very gently and slowly automatically with each breath you take.

2166
07:30:30.319 --> 07:30:32.360
As you focus on.

2167
07:30:34.880 --> 07:30:37.319
How your chest.

2168
07:30:42.159 --> 07:31:23.040
Feels when you breathe, move in your focus to your forearms,

2169
07:31:25.560 --> 07:31:41.759
your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently and slowly

2170
07:31:44.159 --> 07:31:52.680
tense the muscles in your forearms, and when you do that,

2171
07:31:53.159 --> 07:32:16.720
you can feel your elbows as well, very gently and slowly,

2172
07:32:25.200 --> 07:33:04.799
gently and softly observing your forearms and delpoys. No, I

2173
07:33:04.880 --> 07:33:18.680
think you focus on the rest of your back, your

2174
07:33:18.880 --> 07:33:28.439
upper back in the middle, the middle of your back,

2175
07:33:40.119 --> 07:33:50.639
and again this part of your body moves also every

2176
07:33:51.080 --> 07:34:07.040
time you preathe. You may not notice that. Usually these

2177
07:34:07.200 --> 07:34:13.919
you observe your upper back in the middle of your back.

2178
07:34:17.599 --> 07:35:13.360
You can really feel that gentle and slow moment moving

2179
07:35:13.599 --> 07:35:26.639
your focus into your hip area, your butty, as your grain.

2180
07:35:29.360 --> 07:36:04.159
There's muscles and those bones in your midsection. Just noticing

2181
07:36:06.560 --> 07:36:26.880
how your hips feel. Right now, you can very very

2182
07:36:27.479 --> 07:36:42.240
gently move your hips, maybe side to side, very gently

2183
07:36:42.520 --> 07:37:39.159
and slow, fair softly and slowly. Everything starts to slow down,

2184
07:37:45.639 --> 07:37:51.319
including the thoughts in your mind and your mind itself

2185
07:37:54.560 --> 07:38:01.200
just starts to gradually. It doesn't have to be instant,

2186
07:38:01.279 --> 07:38:09.279
but just gradually starting too. It's almost like time is

2187
07:38:09.720 --> 07:38:20.840
storing chin. It's a slower pace to maybe what you're

2188
07:38:21.200 --> 07:38:28.840
used to in your day to day life. It's a

2189
07:38:29.080 --> 07:38:56.040
slower movement of energy, very small movements which make up

2190
07:38:56.360 --> 07:39:03.959
the larger movements, which is always the case. Now, when

2191
07:39:04.000 --> 07:39:09.159
you move your hand, it might seem like it's one movement,

2192
07:39:09.279 --> 07:39:17.200
but it's lots of minute different muscles moving in accordance

2193
07:39:17.319 --> 07:39:28.840
with each other. What happens in this space that we're

2194
07:39:28.959 --> 07:39:48.200
sharing is we move from that big movement into those

2195
07:39:48.479 --> 07:40:05.319
smaller movements. Starting to focus on how your body feels,

2196
07:40:07.159 --> 07:40:11.439
not just as a whole, not just oh, i'm feel

2197
07:40:11.479 --> 07:40:16.159
in this way. I'm feeling stressed or tense, or I'm

2198
07:40:16.200 --> 07:40:21.560
feeling relaxed and calm. I'm feeling this way, I'm feeling

2199
07:40:21.680 --> 07:40:32.840
that way. Starting to notice that your body begins to

2200
07:40:32.959 --> 07:40:49.919
present to you small feelings around your body, small physical

2201
07:40:50.240 --> 07:41:09.200
sensations in your legs, whether pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting

2202
07:41:09.319 --> 07:41:17.560
the temptation to label them or to judge them those feelings,

2203
07:41:19.840 --> 07:41:24.360
just thinking them, thinking about them is just being neutral,

2204
07:41:26.959 --> 07:41:42.279
just feelings, not being particularly concerned, but just noticing what

2205
07:41:42.479 --> 07:41:55.759
your body is telling you. The feelings in your arms.

2206
07:41:58.759 --> 07:42:03.720
Instead of feeling the hole of the arm, maybe notice

2207
07:42:03.959 --> 07:42:16.799
those individual feelings for all those different muscles and the skin,

2208
07:42:20.040 --> 07:42:25.880
the hairs of your arms, all the internal parts of

2209
07:42:25.959 --> 07:42:42.279
your arms, the veins, the bones. Just being aware of

2210
07:42:45.360 --> 07:42:51.799
maybe your elbow on your right arm has a certain feeling.

2211
07:42:53.880 --> 07:43:07.599
Maybe your left wrist also has its own individual physical sensation.

2212
07:43:20.040 --> 07:43:26.000
What about your forearm on your right arm, your right

2213
07:43:26.240 --> 07:43:39.880
forearm there may not be any particular feeling that you

2214
07:43:40.000 --> 07:43:47.560
could even give a name to, may not feel like

2215
07:43:47.680 --> 07:43:59.319
anything other than just a feeling. Yeah, it's there. The

2216
07:43:59.439 --> 07:44:05.959
feelings your shoulders, perhaps your shoulders when you think about them,

2217
07:44:06.919 --> 07:44:10.200
you're kind of almost like they're the same, you know,

2218
07:44:11.439 --> 07:44:16.360
the same feeling, almost like you both of your shoulders

2219
07:44:16.400 --> 07:44:29.319
are just one thing. Of course they're not. And when

2220
07:44:29.360 --> 07:44:34.680
you focus on your left shoulder and then on your

2221
07:44:34.840 --> 07:44:41.680
right shoulder, maybe find that you move the muscles a

2222
07:44:41.759 --> 07:44:53.919
little bit, maybe tense the muscles gently, noticing the difference

2223
07:44:57.080 --> 07:45:24.840
in each shoulder. Your lower back, the left side of

2224
07:45:24.959 --> 07:45:28.680
your lower back and the right side of your lower

2225
07:45:28.759 --> 07:45:40.799
back of course that connection to your buttocks and to

2226
07:45:41.000 --> 07:45:52.799
your hips, and also moving up into the middle of

2227
07:45:52.880 --> 07:46:06.759
your back. And sometimes like right now, actually, when I

2228
07:46:06.840 --> 07:46:10.959
focus on their part, when I focused on my buttocks

2229
07:46:12.840 --> 07:46:16.560
and then I focused on the middle of my back,

2230
07:46:16.959 --> 07:46:19.720
it almost felt like the muscles in my lower back

2231
07:46:19.799 --> 07:46:29.639
were being stretched very gently, just stretched a little bit.

2232
07:46:31.560 --> 07:46:38.319
Even though I wasn't doing anything to try to stretch

2233
07:46:40.360 --> 07:46:44.680
your lower back, it just seemed to happen. The feeling

2234
07:46:45.360 --> 07:47:05.360
of very gently stretching your lower back comes along. I

2235
07:47:05.439 --> 07:47:30.240
have feeling in your chest. Just noticing what sensations you

2236
07:47:30.959 --> 07:47:48.000
are experiencing in your chest right now. And there's so

2237
07:47:48.200 --> 07:47:52.639
much of the chest. Obviously there's the collar bone leading

2238
07:47:52.840 --> 07:47:59.200
to the chest. You've got the chest bone, You've got

2239
07:47:59.279 --> 07:48:07.400
the muscles in your chest. Of course, if you're female,

2240
07:48:08.080 --> 07:48:15.279
there's possibly the breasts. If you're male, you've got the

2241
07:48:18.119 --> 07:48:21.479
different well why not that different these days.

2242
07:48:21.279 --> 07:48:21.360
But.

2243
07:48:23.520 --> 07:48:28.919
There may be more muscles at the top of the chest,

2244
07:48:32.279 --> 07:48:36.560
but at the side underneath it's pretty much the same.

2245
07:48:37.360 --> 07:48:40.400
Whether you're a man or a woman. There's muscles there,

2246
07:48:41.759 --> 07:48:46.880
muscles that stretch out to your back as well as

2247
07:48:47.000 --> 07:48:55.360
breast tissue. It stretches and moves into your back. To

2248
07:48:55.560 --> 07:49:14.919
just being aware of your chest, being with whatever feeling

2249
07:49:15.119 --> 07:49:34.919
there is in your chest. When I noticed that, I

2250
07:49:35.080 --> 07:49:43.040
focus on my chest. I feel it in my back,

2251
07:49:43.360 --> 07:49:47.439
my upper back. I mean, I guess the obvious reason

2252
07:49:47.479 --> 07:49:57.520
would be because you know, I'll breathe in in and

2253
07:49:57.680 --> 07:50:01.240
it stretches my chest and my back at the same time.

2254
07:50:09.159 --> 07:50:24.400
It feels it feels okay, it doesn't feel I've got

2255
07:50:24.400 --> 07:50:30.680
a little bit of pain in my right chest, a

2256
07:50:30.720 --> 07:50:36.840
little bit not pain, but little discomfort, maybe stiffness, possibly

2257
07:50:37.400 --> 07:50:46.520
I don't know. I notice my shoulders also wanting to

2258
07:50:48.880 --> 07:50:53.560
flex for some reason. I think that's probably part of

2259
07:50:53.720 --> 07:51:02.680
my upper back that can connection between my shoulders marper back.

2260
07:51:04.520 --> 07:51:08.520
Because I can move my shoulders and stretch the muscles

2261
07:51:09.319 --> 07:51:17.520
in my back, moving the shoulders backwards or up, which

2262
07:51:17.639 --> 07:51:23.639
then moves the I think it's the scapulous in your back.

2263
07:51:33.720 --> 07:51:41.360
It feels quite nice. Actually, a good thing about this

2264
07:51:41.680 --> 07:51:44.959
is you can, if you want to, you.

2265
07:51:45.159 --> 07:51:46.479
Can just.

2266
07:51:50.000 --> 07:52:01.720
Flex or stimulate the various muscles in your body gently

2267
07:52:03.159 --> 07:52:06.599
in order to get more of a sense of how

2268
07:52:06.720 --> 07:52:21.599
they feel. And when you're relaxing, when you do tense

2269
07:52:21.680 --> 07:52:25.599
and muscle and you let it go and you let

2270
07:52:25.680 --> 07:52:34.680
it relax, it relaxes way more than it would normally.

2271
07:52:39.639 --> 07:52:44.880
But you have to feel that you're able to do that.

2272
07:52:46.520 --> 07:52:52.240
There's no point doing it if there's an issue with

2273
07:52:52.400 --> 07:52:58.840
the per part of your body. Need to be gentle

2274
07:52:59.000 --> 07:53:12.200
with yourself at all times when relaxing deeply. It's important

2275
07:53:15.799 --> 07:53:27.200
to be kind to yourself. As you notice your mind.

2276
07:53:31.560 --> 07:53:38.560
How much has your mind slowed down since we started

2277
07:53:39.959 --> 07:54:05.479
this recording. How came and peaceful is your mind right now?

2278
07:54:12.360 --> 07:54:17.720
We have nothing to think about and just my voice

2279
07:54:17.959 --> 07:54:27.840
to listen to, because you know the intention behind this

2280
07:54:28.159 --> 07:54:37.279
recording is relaxation, at the very least, for you to

2281
07:54:37.560 --> 07:54:42.560
feel more relaxed at the end of recording than you

2282
07:54:42.799 --> 07:54:54.639
did at the beginning, at the very least, for your

2283
07:54:54.880 --> 07:55:06.200
mind to slow down if your body continues to relax,

2284
07:55:11.599 --> 07:55:22.439
because that's what you want to happen, that's what you

2285
07:55:23.159 --> 07:55:51.840
expect to happen, for relaxation to fill your body, maybe

2286
07:55:52.240 --> 07:56:00.400
calm in your mind to the point of boredom. When

2287
07:56:00.479 --> 07:56:44.439
you start maybe to drift away. Drifting it's almost as

2288
07:56:44.479 --> 07:56:54.080
if you're moving further away from your body in your mind,

2289
07:56:56.479 --> 07:57:08.360
just leaving that there, kind of liking it an escape

2290
07:57:08.439 --> 07:57:13.680
pod in the spaceship a movie, a space movie. You know,

2291
07:57:13.799 --> 07:57:17.680
when they get into a little part in it sends

2292
07:57:17.799 --> 07:57:42.479
them far away from the spaceship, safe to dream and

2293
07:57:42.720 --> 07:58:44.400
continue to relax. Drift down, so slow and peace for

2294
07:59:00.599 --> 07:59:46.680
so relax and peaceful and focusing on the feeling of

2295
07:59:46.880 --> 07:59:59.240
those individual parts of your body. That's a relaxing. One

2296
07:59:59.319 --> 08:00:16.080
by one, you may find that every now and then

2297
08:00:18.959 --> 08:00:30.159
you realize that you weren't listening to my voice because

2298
08:00:30.200 --> 08:00:41.720
your mind started to imagine something different, maybe started to

2299
08:00:43.959 --> 08:00:55.119
almost move into some kind of a dreamy state, and

2300
08:00:55.200 --> 08:01:01.759
then you become aware of my voice again. And even

2301
08:01:01.880 --> 08:01:08.639
though you may want to focus on my voice, you

2302
08:01:08.799 --> 08:01:16.720
may also wish to allow your mind to just drift

2303
08:01:19.919 --> 08:01:36.400
naturally into that space of comfort and safety. As you

2304
08:01:37.240 --> 08:01:54.319
feel more comfort spreading through your body like a warm

2305
08:01:54.520 --> 08:02:11.119
blanket covering you gently, keeping your body at just the

2306
08:02:11.439 --> 08:02:28.599
perfect temperature. And even if you can hear background sounds,

2307
08:02:34.159 --> 08:02:46.520
they just don't seem to matter anymore. There's that sense

2308
08:02:46.639 --> 08:03:03.040
of peace spreads through your mind like a gentle breeze,

2309
08:03:06.000 --> 08:03:18.680
yet strong enough to blow away all negativity, strong enough

2310
08:03:18.799 --> 08:03:32.119
to remove from your mind any anxiety or stress that

2311
08:03:32.360 --> 08:03:46.639
was there before, and blow away any other thoughts or

2312
08:03:46.919 --> 08:03:53.599
feelings that just don't fit.

2313
08:03:57.479 --> 08:03:59.400
With the sense of.

2314
08:04:06.560 --> 08:04:38.159
Relaxation that is feeling your body and your mind. Unless

2315
08:04:38.200 --> 08:04:44.560
you focus on your mind and count down from ten

2316
08:04:44.919 --> 08:04:53.279
down to one, and with each number you hear, your

2317
08:04:53.479 --> 08:05:21.639
mind will become slightly more relaxed, just just slightly so,

2318
08:05:21.799 --> 08:05:28.840
from ten down to nine, just a slight movement. From

2319
08:05:29.000 --> 08:05:41.279
nine down to eight, just another small change in how

2320
08:05:41.400 --> 08:05:54.439
you feel. Eight down to seven. That feeling is a gap,

2321
08:05:55.360 --> 08:06:00.919
almost like a gap that starts to get wider, the

2322
08:06:01.080 --> 08:06:09.319
gap between those feelings that you used to have in

2323
08:06:09.439 --> 08:06:18.360
your mind compared to the feelings you have though growing now,

2324
08:06:20.080 --> 08:06:29.919
feelings of comfort and security and confidence, and the gap

2325
08:06:30.319 --> 08:06:36.439
becomes wider. Eight down to seven, seven, down to six,

2326
08:06:40.119 --> 08:06:45.119
and when you get to five, your mind will start

2327
08:06:45.240 --> 08:06:58.200
to have a certain physical sensation, almost like there's a

2328
08:06:58.520 --> 08:07:04.959
magnet outside side of your head sucking the tension and

2329
08:07:05.080 --> 08:07:10.720
the stress and any remaining feelings that you don't want,

2330
08:07:12.720 --> 08:07:21.759
sucking them out through your skull. And then down to

2331
08:07:22.040 --> 08:07:29.479
four you can start to really experience that sense of

2332
08:07:31.000 --> 08:07:41.520
not just emptiness, but space, a place full of fresh air,

2333
08:07:46.360 --> 08:07:53.080
a place where you can stretch. It's almost as if

2334
08:07:53.200 --> 08:07:57.240
as you go down to four and three your mind

2335
08:07:57.400 --> 08:08:01.680
is expanding, with this sense.

2336
08:08:04.319 --> 08:08:05.639
Of peace.

2337
08:08:07.000 --> 08:08:17.319
And tranquility growing as it moves down to When you

2338
08:08:17.439 --> 08:08:26.840
get to one, your mind just feels exactly how you

2339
08:08:27.200 --> 08:08:42.880
want to feel. It's almost a perfect feeling, maybe a

2340
08:08:46.040 --> 08:08:55.080
sensation that you'd like to keep a place that's safe,

2341
08:08:56.119 --> 08:09:16.400
where nothing can affect you at all, and you can

2342
08:09:16.599 --> 08:09:25.560
stay in that that space of comfort and confidence, confident

2343
08:09:25.680 --> 08:09:32.159
in your own ability to create this space and this

2344
08:09:33.520 --> 08:09:39.880
feeling of comfort within your own mind. Just by counting

2345
08:09:40.639 --> 08:09:49.599
and ten down to one. And this is something that

2346
08:09:49.799 --> 08:09:58.560
you can do yourself when you're on your own the

2347
08:09:58.720 --> 08:10:02.439
time when you can meet be sit down, maybe just

2348
08:10:02.520 --> 08:10:14.560
for a few minutes, close your eyes, just count slowly

2349
08:10:15.240 --> 08:10:28.400
from ten down to one and re experience these feelings

2350
08:10:30.040 --> 08:10:38.360
in your mind. And when you feel that way in

2351
08:10:38.479 --> 08:10:54.040
your mind, your body copies your mind, and that feeling

2352
08:10:54.240 --> 08:11:00.200
is spread through your spine and your nervous system, them

2353
08:11:00.799 --> 08:11:08.119
into every part of your body, travels through your bloodstream,

2354
08:11:13.680 --> 08:11:34.159
healing and relaxing every particle of your existence. And we

2355
08:11:34.319 --> 08:11:43.479
can practice this a few times before the end of

2356
08:11:43.560 --> 08:11:48.319
the recording, and then you can practice on your own.

2357
08:11:50.400 --> 08:11:55.439
And each time you count from ten down to one,

2358
08:12:00.119 --> 08:12:11.240
the feelings of comfort, calmness, and deep deep relaxation becomes

2359
08:12:11.560 --> 08:12:27.439
stronger and deeper, filling your mind and your brain with

2360
08:12:27.680 --> 08:12:37.159
these positive chemicals. The spread throughout your body, relaxing you

2361
08:12:39.159 --> 08:12:48.639
so quickly, relaxing your whole body and mind so very

2362
08:12:50.360 --> 08:12:56.240
very easily, just by counting.

2363
08:12:57.319 --> 08:12:58.159
From ten.

2364
08:13:00.799 --> 08:13:08.000
Down to one. So we're going to do it now.

2365
08:13:08.880 --> 08:13:12.799
I'm going to count from ten down to one. I'd

2366
08:13:13.000 --> 08:13:17.319
like you to repeat the number after me. So when

2367
08:13:17.360 --> 08:13:25.959
I say ten, you can just repeat to yourself ten.

2368
08:13:31.560 --> 08:13:40.880
Just notice, be aware of how you feel in your

2369
08:13:41.040 --> 08:13:50.560
mind and your body. Then when I say nine, you

2370
08:13:50.680 --> 08:14:06.520
can repeat to yourself nine again, noticing the increase in

2371
08:14:06.720 --> 08:14:14.680
comfort and calmness in your mind end in your body.

2372
08:14:20.639 --> 08:14:30.080
The same when I say eight, when I say seven, six,

2373
08:14:32.639 --> 08:14:46.959
when I say five, four, when I say three, two,

2374
08:14:51.360 --> 08:14:57.520
and lastly when I say one, it can repeat that number.

2375
08:15:05.000 --> 08:15:05.159
Now.

2376
08:15:05.240 --> 08:15:10.840
Of course, when you do this on your own without

2377
08:15:10.959 --> 08:15:15.959
listening to me, you can say the numbers or whatever

2378
08:15:17.560 --> 08:15:26.000
speed that you feel is necessary for you, so you

2379
08:15:26.159 --> 08:15:31.959
can adapt. So if you feel you want to say

2380
08:15:32.080 --> 08:15:37.919
the numbers ten down to one faster than I do,

2381
08:15:39.680 --> 08:15:42.759
then go ahead and do that. Or if you feel

2382
08:15:43.560 --> 08:15:46.720
when you do it yourself that you'd like to have

2383
08:15:47.279 --> 08:15:55.279
more more space between the numbers, maybe take a lot

2384
08:15:55.479 --> 08:16:03.080
longer to get from ten all the way down to one,

2385
08:16:07.279 --> 08:16:19.799
that's your choice also to do. So I'm going to

2386
08:16:19.959 --> 08:16:28.319
count from ten down to one, and when I get

2387
08:16:28.400 --> 08:16:35.639
to one, that will be the end of this recording, unless,

2388
08:16:35.680 --> 08:16:39.639
of course, you're listening with music, then the music will

2389
08:16:39.720 --> 08:18:55.360
continue ten nine, eight, seven s four.

2390
08:19:28.880 --> 08:20:05.759
Es three.

2391
08:21:19.840 --> 08:22:45.479
Twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three,

2392
08:22:50.520 --> 08:23:14.080
two one. Now open your eyes, noticing how you physically

2393
08:23:14.200 --> 08:23:23.200
feel having counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress

2394
08:23:23.319 --> 08:23:27.200
and tension to leave through your fingertips and your toes.

2395
08:23:28.720 --> 08:23:33.439
And as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel

2396
08:23:33.439 --> 08:23:40.880
a little bit tingly, which is suppose quite understanding considering

2397
08:23:40.959 --> 08:23:45.479
the tension has been exiting your body through your fingertips.

2398
08:23:51.919 --> 08:23:53.919
So now I'm going to count from twenty down to

2399
08:23:54.040 --> 08:24:04.080
one again, this time to feel relief of tension and stress,

2400
08:24:05.520 --> 08:24:15.240
any anxiety that you may have leaving through your stomach,

2401
08:24:17.840 --> 08:24:21.560
just leaving through your stomach, almost as if it's just

2402
08:24:22.560 --> 08:24:29.680
releasing the whole of your stomach. You'll navel to just

2403
08:24:29.799 --> 08:24:34.000
above your chest or below your chest, rather so surrounding

2404
08:24:34.119 --> 08:24:39.279
your belly button area, the whole area. You can feel

2405
08:24:39.479 --> 08:24:44.880
the tension of your body wherever it's left, just releasing

2406
08:24:46.040 --> 08:24:49.360
from that area, and you may notice that your stomach

2407
08:24:49.400 --> 08:24:55.520
will become very relaxed as I count down from twenty

2408
08:24:56.479 --> 08:26:10.639
down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

2409
08:26:13.799 --> 08:26:39.439
five four three two one, And you can open your

2410
08:26:39.479 --> 08:26:42.040
eyes again if you choose, or you can just keep

2411
08:26:42.080 --> 08:26:48.240
them closed because it feels relaxing. Just notice how your

2412
08:26:48.319 --> 08:26:53.639
stomach feels. I notice as your focus, just do a

2413
08:26:53.680 --> 08:26:59.040
little scan of your body. Just notice how your body feels,

2414
08:27:00.520 --> 08:27:11.000
focusing on your upper body, your back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,

2415
08:27:14.040 --> 08:27:20.959
just noticing, and you know, you may start to feel

2416
08:27:23.439 --> 08:27:27.240
more of a sense of tiredness, which may be the

2417
08:27:27.360 --> 08:27:33.400
reason you're listening to this recording, because you would like

2418
08:27:33.639 --> 08:27:43.080
to let go completely of everything and drift off into

2419
08:27:43.200 --> 08:27:58.200
a nice, natural, calm, relaxing sleep. So now we're going

2420
08:27:58.279 --> 08:28:07.720
to focus on your forehead, and if you choose, you

2421
08:28:07.799 --> 08:28:12.639
can incorporate your eyes in this focus as well. So

2422
08:28:12.759 --> 08:28:18.200
your forehead, in your eyes, it's that whole area basically

2423
08:28:19.159 --> 08:28:22.080
almost as if you were wearing a mask, you know,

2424
08:28:22.279 --> 08:28:26.639
like a I don't know, a Batman mask or something,

2425
08:28:27.560 --> 08:28:32.279
or I'm trying to fin zorro or something, you know,

2426
08:28:32.360 --> 08:28:35.119
the kind of mask that covers your eyes but also

2427
08:28:35.279 --> 08:28:41.319
covers quite a lot of the forehead. And focusing on

2428
08:28:41.400 --> 08:28:44.159
that area because that's the area that we're now going

2429
08:28:44.240 --> 08:28:50.360
to release tension and stress from your mind, from your

2430
08:28:50.439 --> 08:28:54.040
brain and from your mind, and any tension that you

2431
08:28:54.200 --> 08:28:58.360
may have remaining in your face, in your neck, and

2432
08:28:58.479 --> 08:29:04.159
your jaw, in your eyes, your forehead, all your scalp.

2433
08:29:05.799 --> 08:29:11.119
So basically any tension within your head area, including your

2434
08:29:11.279 --> 08:29:18.200
mind and your brain, and that's going to be released

2435
08:29:19.799 --> 08:29:26.400
through your forehead and your eyes. As I count down

2436
08:29:26.479 --> 08:30:58.159
again from twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

2437
08:31:02.319 --> 08:31:27.599
three two one, noticing then you scan your face, your jaw,

2438
08:31:28.159 --> 08:31:37.000
your eyes, your cheap bones, your ears, your forehead, your scalp,

2439
08:31:38.639 --> 08:31:42.279
your neck, the back of your neck, in the front

2440
08:31:42.360 --> 08:31:46.159
of your neck, the sides of your neck, and your throat.

2441
08:31:48.759 --> 08:31:49.360
Mm hmmm.

2442
08:31:52.479 --> 08:32:03.560
Noticing being aware of the comfort increased the ear in relaxation,

2443
08:32:05.720 --> 08:32:10.560
not just in your head and neck and mind, also

2444
08:32:11.080 --> 08:32:20.560
the rest of your body. Just notice how loose and

2445
08:32:20.880 --> 08:32:24.560
calm you feel, and how easily.

2446
08:32:26.279 --> 08:32:27.799
It is to just let go.

2447
08:32:30.639 --> 08:32:54.720
Completely, let go completely, how easily That's what I'm going

2448
08:32:54.799 --> 08:32:58.000
to do now, is I want me to focus on

2449
08:32:58.119 --> 08:33:05.200
the top of your head. That am We're going to

2450
08:33:05.279 --> 08:33:14.400
allow every last piece of tension or stress that might

2451
08:33:15.639 --> 08:33:21.000
be lingering or hiding in your body or mind or

2452
08:33:21.200 --> 08:33:27.840
head to just be sucked out at the top of

2453
08:33:27.959 --> 08:33:38.439
your head and released into the air, sucked out into

2454
08:33:38.560 --> 08:33:46.639
the clouds. Imagine a big cloud above your head, almost

2455
08:33:46.759 --> 08:33:50.959
like a whirlpool, and this is gonna suck that tension

2456
08:33:52.599 --> 08:33:57.040
out of the top of your head and just take

2457
08:33:57.080 --> 08:34:06.119
it away the goods your focus. Imagine an opening in

2458
08:34:06.200 --> 08:34:10.799
the top of your head without tension and stress and

2459
08:34:11.840 --> 08:34:16.240
any remaining issues may be worries or concerns that are

2460
08:34:16.520 --> 08:34:19.520
no use to you now can.

2461
08:34:19.520 --> 08:34:22.240
All be sucked out at the top of your head.

2462
08:34:23.759 --> 08:34:29.680
And taken away? As I count down again from twenty

2463
08:34:30.080 --> 08:36:08.799
down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six.

2464
08:36:12.799 --> 08:36:19.080
Five, four.

2465
08:36:23.000 --> 08:36:28.119
Three two.

2466
08:36:33.119 --> 08:36:44.319
War bree.

2467
08:36:49.159 --> 08:37:02.639
Noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm you physically

2468
08:37:03.680 --> 08:37:17.520
and mentally fail right now, how peaceful your mind feels.

2469
08:37:20.159 --> 08:37:25.360
It feels so nice to just let go, to give

2470
08:37:25.400 --> 08:37:39.200
yourself some space, to breathe easily, to think calmly, and

2471
08:37:39.400 --> 08:37:44.520
just to take a break from all that pointless worry

2472
08:37:44.799 --> 08:37:50.000
and concerns about things that you don't need to think

2473
08:37:50.080 --> 08:38:00.439
about right now, because this is your time and to

2474
08:38:00.639 --> 08:38:09.479
let go, This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed,

2475
08:38:11.560 --> 08:38:19.040
peaceful in your mind, relaxed in your body. They can

2476
08:38:19.159 --> 08:38:28.360
feel so good, so nice to just not have to

2477
08:38:28.560 --> 08:38:39.759
do anything, to be able to really enjoy that serenity

2478
08:38:40.479 --> 08:38:48.439
that comes with letting go completely, that peacefulness that comes

2479
08:38:48.639 --> 08:39:06.319
with being in this peaceful space. And you can keep

2480
08:39:06.799 --> 08:39:10.599
this sense of calmness for as long.

2481
08:39:10.360 --> 08:39:11.439
As you choose.

2482
08:39:19.479 --> 08:39:25.200
If you choose to drift off into a deep, healing,

2483
08:39:25.560 --> 08:39:34.319
natural sleep, then you can do that. It's completely up

2484
08:39:34.400 --> 08:39:42.279
to you, and you can keep this feeling of calmness

2485
08:39:43.279 --> 08:39:47.560
physically and in your mind for as long as you

2486
08:39:47.799 --> 08:40:04.720
choose to feel completely relaxed, completely relax And I'd like

2487
08:40:04.840 --> 08:40:10.919
you to make up your mind that you're going to relax,

2488
08:40:19.520 --> 08:40:22.279
and I want to explore that with you. What it

2489
08:40:22.439 --> 08:40:29.799
feels like when you actually decide that you're going to relax,

2490
08:40:31.439 --> 08:40:38.040
not forcing yourself, but giving yourself that. Yes, it is

2491
08:40:38.119 --> 08:40:43.119
a command, really, isn't it. When you're telling yourself relax

2492
08:40:45.319 --> 08:40:50.560
in a gentle but firm way that only you can

2493
08:40:50.680 --> 08:40:55.599
really tell yourself in that way, you can't really have

2494
08:40:55.680 --> 08:41:00.240
someone else saying to you, now it relax, relax. You

2495
08:41:00.319 --> 08:41:04.599
know it needs to be gentle, but you can't. Someone

2496
08:41:04.639 --> 08:41:11.639
else can't really have the same the same kind of

2497
08:41:12.279 --> 08:41:21.200
influence or power that you have over your own physicality,

2498
08:41:22.040 --> 08:41:31.040
over how you feel, because when you say it to

2499
08:41:31.159 --> 08:41:39.560
yourself it means more. It's personal, and your brain and

2500
08:41:39.799 --> 08:41:47.439
your unconscious mind and your body listens to what you say. So,

2501
08:41:47.720 --> 08:41:51.520
for example, we'll test it out. We'll do a little test,

2502
08:41:51.639 --> 08:41:55.279
a few little tests along the way, and you can

2503
08:41:55.400 --> 08:42:01.639
get more of an idea of the four the positive

2504
08:42:01.880 --> 08:42:08.279
force that you can have in creating a sense of

2505
08:42:08.560 --> 08:42:13.560
comfort and relaxation in your body and your mind quite

2506
08:42:13.680 --> 08:42:26.279
quickly just by you telling yourself to relax. So I

2507
08:42:26.400 --> 08:42:33.159
want to start by it's focus on your hands. To

2508
08:42:33.279 --> 08:42:36.319
focus on your hands and just tell your hands to relax.

2509
08:42:37.319 --> 08:42:42.240
I just say relax. As you focus on your hands,

2510
08:42:44.479 --> 08:42:49.040
you could say my hands are relaxed, or I want

2511
08:42:49.080 --> 08:42:53.360
my hands to relax. I think if you actually do

2512
08:42:53.479 --> 08:43:00.319
it directly by focusing and imagining that your hair hands

2513
08:43:01.360 --> 08:43:03.720
can hear what you're saying, you know, like they've got

2514
08:43:03.759 --> 08:43:09.479
little ears, which is a bit weird. So talking to

2515
08:43:09.680 --> 08:43:26.439
your hands and just say relax, noticing how your hands

2516
08:43:26.479 --> 08:43:42.080
start to relax. Now focus on your eyes and tell

2517
08:43:42.080 --> 08:43:45.400
your eyes to relax. You just say in the same

2518
08:43:45.520 --> 08:43:54.840
word relax and find the right tone for you. You know,

2519
08:43:55.000 --> 08:44:01.959
I might say relax, but you you might say relax

2520
08:44:03.080 --> 08:44:08.439
or relax. You know, you might say it differently to yourself,

2521
08:44:09.439 --> 08:44:15.959
and that's important for you to gauge what feels right

2522
08:44:16.360 --> 08:44:22.639
for you. To just tell your eyes to relax, whilst

2523
08:44:22.799 --> 08:44:26.799
focusing on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

2524
08:44:27.680 --> 08:44:35.599
your eyebrows, and just tell your eyes directly relax.

2525
08:44:37.520 --> 08:44:37.680
Now.

2526
08:45:04.479 --> 08:45:14.639
Now, I just did that myself, And sometimes you may

2527
08:45:14.759 --> 08:45:19.400
feel that you need a bit more time for the

2528
08:45:19.520 --> 08:45:23.200
different parts to relax, you know, because I start talking

2529
08:45:23.279 --> 08:45:28.560
again and maybe that part hasn't relaxed fully. But what

2530
08:45:28.639 --> 08:45:31.000
will happen is that it will just continue to relax

2531
08:45:31.119 --> 08:45:35.360
even though I'm talking. And that's happened with my eyes.

2532
08:45:38.279 --> 08:45:42.880
Something else I noticed is when I started focusing on

2533
08:45:43.000 --> 08:45:46.959
my eyes, that actually almost became they got worse before

2534
08:45:46.959 --> 08:45:49.759
they got better in a way. So I felt a

2535
08:45:49.880 --> 08:45:55.159
degree of tension growing in my eyes and then disappearing.

2536
08:45:56.919 --> 08:45:58.880
So I think what that was really it was just

2537
08:45:59.040 --> 08:46:04.799
me becoming more were aware of the tension that was

2538
08:46:04.880 --> 08:46:09.400
already there that I wasn't. I wasn't focused on it before,

2539
08:46:10.680 --> 08:46:18.799
so I wasn't really acknowledging it or really conscious to

2540
08:46:19.040 --> 08:46:32.119
those feelings. Yeah, my eyes is still continuing to relax,

2541
08:46:32.759 --> 08:46:38.439
as well as my hands. Actually, my hands have got

2542
08:46:38.479 --> 08:46:44.319
a certain kind of energy, like not buzzing, but.

2543
08:46:44.639 --> 08:46:45.319
I can kind of.

2544
08:46:47.680 --> 08:46:53.560
Feel a degree of energy in my hands. Maybe that's

2545
08:46:53.599 --> 08:47:05.880
where the tensions being released. Maybe that's causing that. The

2546
08:47:06.000 --> 08:47:08.279
next part, I think we should focus on the back

2547
08:47:08.319 --> 08:47:13.080
of the neck. That's a part which quite often, well

2548
08:47:13.200 --> 08:47:15.959
for me, holds tension. I don't know about for yourself,

2549
08:47:16.880 --> 08:47:21.119
but I think it's quite a standard place where tension

2550
08:47:21.279 --> 08:47:28.000
is sometimes held. So, and I'm doing exactly what you're

2551
08:47:28.080 --> 08:47:30.680
doing as you do it as well, So I'm telling

2552
08:47:30.799 --> 08:47:34.959
my body parts to relax as well. So if you

2553
08:47:35.040 --> 08:47:37.880
tell your neck at the back of your neck, focus

2554
08:47:38.000 --> 08:47:43.000
on the back of your neck, and just say relax

2555
08:47:44.639 --> 08:47:47.319
in your own words, in your own tone, in your

2556
08:47:47.360 --> 08:47:50.159
own voice. You can say out loud, or you can

2557
08:47:50.319 --> 08:47:55.439
just say it to yourself internally, but you're focusing and

2558
08:47:55.520 --> 08:47:59.279
you're saying it literally to the back of your neck,

2559
08:48:00.119 --> 08:48:02.599
as if the back of your neck can actually hear

2560
08:48:03.439 --> 08:48:10.200
what you're saying. So do that now, just say relax

2561
08:48:10.720 --> 08:48:52.599
to the back of your neck and I'll do the same. Now,

2562
08:48:52.680 --> 08:48:57.720
what I noticed, and you may have had similar thing is,

2563
08:48:58.520 --> 08:49:01.119
even though I was focusing on the back of my neck,

2564
08:49:06.119 --> 08:49:12.759
other parts started to I don't know, show themselves to

2565
08:49:12.919 --> 08:49:16.240
me or maybe because they want to be relaxed as well.

2566
08:49:16.360 --> 08:49:21.119
But I started noticing the feelings in my shoulders, attention

2567
08:49:21.279 --> 08:49:26.759
in my shoulders and in my upper back. Whether that

2568
08:49:27.040 --> 08:49:32.360
was because my back of my neck was saying, well,

2569
08:49:32.400 --> 08:49:37.360
I'm pretty much okay. It's the other parts that need attention,

2570
08:49:43.759 --> 08:49:46.799
but my low back of my neck is still relaxing.

2571
08:49:48.240 --> 08:49:50.720
But I just became more aware of other parts that

2572
08:49:51.000 --> 08:49:59.599
needed attention. Now, this might happen and it's not. It

2573
08:49:59.680 --> 08:50:03.159
doesn't mean that it's going wrong. It just means you're

2574
08:50:03.240 --> 08:50:09.919
being notified with more places that also want to feel relaxed.

2575
08:50:13.159 --> 08:50:17.520
So I'm going to focus on my upper back. So

2576
08:50:17.759 --> 08:50:21.360
you can do the same, even if you don't have

2577
08:50:21.520 --> 08:50:26.840
any feelings of tension that are obvious in your upper back,

2578
08:50:28.639 --> 08:50:33.240
if you just focus on your back and the whole

2579
08:50:33.360 --> 08:50:38.119
area from his shoulder blades down to the middle of

2580
08:50:38.200 --> 08:50:42.560
your back, down your spine, and with me, it's more

2581
08:50:42.599 --> 08:50:44.000
the shoulder blades.

2582
08:50:43.720 --> 08:50:44.639
That are more.

2583
08:50:49.080 --> 08:50:54.520
Yeah, that's the parts that are really sort of giving me.

2584
08:50:56.240 --> 08:50:56.919
The nod.

2585
08:50:58.479 --> 08:51:00.959
That it needs relaxing. I was going to ask that

2586
08:51:01.119 --> 08:51:04.439
part to relax, and you can do the same now,

2587
08:51:15.639 --> 08:51:34.159
relaxed upper back. Something strange happened there, and this often happens.

2588
08:51:34.240 --> 08:51:35.119
I've been doing this for.

2589
08:51:38.040 --> 08:51:44.759
Sixteen years or something, and often I'm I'm surprised, but

2590
08:51:45.439 --> 08:51:51.880
amazed really that there can be a feeling. So when

2591
08:51:51.919 --> 08:51:55.200
I was focusing on the back of my neck, my

2592
08:51:55.360 --> 08:52:00.159
upper back was starting to feel quite stressed and in

2593
08:52:00.360 --> 08:52:05.840
need of attention. As soon as I started talking to

2594
08:52:06.000 --> 08:52:10.639
you about my upper back and talking about, you know,

2595
08:52:11.159 --> 08:52:16.159
getting ready to ask the upper back to relax, why

2596
08:52:16.279 --> 08:52:21.880
the back already started to relax. It's almost as if

2597
08:52:21.919 --> 08:52:27.560
it doesn't need to hear the words, just needs attention,

2598
08:52:32.360 --> 08:52:44.360
just needs to be noticed. That is something that often

2599
08:52:44.599 --> 08:52:51.560
happens in this type of situation, is when you start

2600
08:52:52.639 --> 08:52:57.639
to relax a couple of parts of your body, as

2601
08:52:57.680 --> 08:53:02.240
we've done with our hands, our eyes and their eyelids,

2602
08:53:04.040 --> 08:53:10.759
and now back of the neck, top of the.

2603
08:53:10.799 --> 08:53:13.479
Back, upper back.

2604
08:53:14.799 --> 08:53:18.799
The rest of the body seems to just take notice

2605
08:53:21.560 --> 08:53:29.799
and decide in its own way to start relaxing. Other

2606
08:53:29.959 --> 08:53:39.799
parts of your body start to just become looser. I

2607
08:53:39.919 --> 08:53:42.599
suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche,

2608
08:53:42.759 --> 08:53:47.479
you know, the little ball starts rolling, and before you

2609
08:53:47.639 --> 08:53:50.599
know it, the whole of your body is completely relaxed

2610
08:53:50.680 --> 08:53:51.200
and calm.

2611
08:54:00.360 --> 08:54:00.759
And if you.

2612
08:54:00.880 --> 08:54:11.759
Focus on your face, you focus on your eyes, your eyelids,

2613
08:54:12.840 --> 08:54:22.520
your eyebrows, and the muscles around your eyes. Maybe you

2614
08:54:22.639 --> 08:54:27.680
start to notice that your forehead is more relaxed than

2615
08:54:27.759 --> 08:54:35.119
it was. Maybe your face is more relaxed. I would

2616
08:54:35.159 --> 08:54:39.319
say my entire face is a lot more relaxed than

2617
08:54:39.400 --> 08:54:53.360
it was. So we're going to focus now on your

2618
08:54:53.520 --> 08:55:00.360
shoulders again, just like before, just till your show orders.

2619
08:55:01.040 --> 08:55:03.639
I mean, you can do them individuity. You can do

2620
08:55:03.799 --> 08:55:08.240
the right shoulder, left shoulder. I just generally do both

2621
08:55:08.319 --> 08:55:13.200
at the same time. And just tell your shoulders as

2622
08:55:13.240 --> 08:55:17.279
you focus on them in your mind, focus on how

2623
08:55:17.400 --> 08:55:22.959
they feel. Maybe you can see them in your mind's eye.

2624
08:55:26.520 --> 08:56:10.319
Just tell your shoulders to relax. I feel as nice

2625
08:56:10.319 --> 08:56:26.040
as they relax. But I do notice, I mean, especially

2626
08:56:26.119 --> 08:56:32.560
with my back, is the connection between the different parts

2627
08:56:34.040 --> 08:56:43.759
the back, the shoulders, the neck, being all connected and

2628
08:56:44.040 --> 08:56:50.279
being such a large part of your body, it's all

2629
08:56:50.400 --> 08:56:58.520
it's hard to separate them from each other. And my

2630
08:56:58.680 --> 08:57:07.560
lower back has started to relax on its own. Maybe

2631
08:57:07.639 --> 08:57:12.360
I'm going too slow and that could be an issue

2632
08:57:13.279 --> 08:57:20.040
because we all go at different speeds. And the idea

2633
08:57:20.159 --> 08:57:22.799
at the beginning of this recording was for you to

2634
08:57:22.880 --> 08:57:38.400
be able to just say to yourself, relax without focusing

2635
08:57:38.520 --> 08:57:44.159
on any particular part of your body. Because when you

2636
08:57:44.319 --> 08:57:55.200
know that telling your hands to relax and your hand relax,

2637
08:57:57.720 --> 08:58:04.400
you tell your eyelids and your eyes, the muscles around

2638
08:58:04.560 --> 08:58:08.400
your eyes and your eyebrows.

2639
08:58:08.639 --> 08:58:14.000
To relax, and they relax.

2640
08:58:19.720 --> 08:58:30.919
You tell the back of your neck to relax, and

2641
08:58:31.439 --> 08:58:58.759
it relaxes. You tell your upper back to relax, and

2642
08:58:59.040 --> 08:59:22.240
it relaxed. Yes, you tell your shoulders to relax and

2643
08:59:22.400 --> 08:59:50.159
they relaxed. And you told your hands to relax, they relaxed,

2644
08:59:50.639 --> 08:59:52.479
and they continued.

2645
08:59:53.560 --> 08:59:54.200
To relax.

2646
09:00:00.040 --> 09:00:05.639
When you told your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

2647
09:00:06.680 --> 09:00:18.560
your eyebrows to relax, they relaxed and continue to relax.

2648
09:00:24.959 --> 09:00:28.560
When you told the back of your neck, focus on

2649
09:00:28.639 --> 09:00:34.639
the back of your neck and told it to relax.

2650
09:00:38.919 --> 09:00:54.240
They relaxed and continued to relax. And you told your

2651
09:00:54.799 --> 09:01:06.919
upper back to relax, be relaxed and continued to relax.

2652
09:01:15.279 --> 09:01:20.840
As with your shoulders. You told your shoulders to relax,

2653
09:01:21.200 --> 09:01:33.520
and your shoulders relaxed and continued to relax.

2654
09:01:39.159 --> 09:01:44.119
And it's not just that, it's.

2655
09:01:46.799 --> 09:01:51.240
That the rest of your body has also been listening

2656
09:01:52.919 --> 09:01:59.000
and no relaxation has been spreading. So from your eyes

2657
09:01:59.360 --> 09:02:06.240
to relax stations spread to your forehead, around your face,

2658
09:02:06.520 --> 09:02:20.040
into your skin, into your jaw, into the front and

2659
09:02:20.319 --> 09:02:24.560
sides of your neck, all the way down your chest

2660
09:02:24.880 --> 09:02:38.720
and stomach, your relaxed hands and shoulders leat up through

2661
09:02:38.759 --> 09:02:48.200
your arms, relaxing your forearms, your upper arms, elbows, your wrists,

2662
09:02:51.840 --> 09:03:08.639
letting go the lower back, your hips, buttocks grind, or

2663
09:03:08.880 --> 09:03:17.599
just start to relax. So continue even more comfort spreading

2664
09:03:17.720 --> 09:03:26.520
through your legs all the way down to your ankles,

2665
09:03:31.759 --> 09:03:35.759
the tops of your feet, the side of your feet,

2666
09:03:37.599 --> 09:03:48.520
and the bottoms of your feet, relaxing into your toes,

2667
09:03:52.319 --> 09:04:17.159
each toe relaxing, calm, loose, And as your body relaxes more,

2668
09:04:17.680 --> 09:04:41.560
your mind becomes slower, more peaceful, to the point where

2669
09:04:43.720 --> 09:04:55.959
if you choose to fall asleep. You can easily do

2670
09:04:56.159 --> 09:05:11.959
that easy drift away because there's nothing going on in

2671
09:05:12.040 --> 09:05:29.200
your mind. Your brain is peaceful, your body continues.

2672
09:05:32.400 --> 09:05:32.959
To rise.

2673
09:05:56.799 --> 09:06:02.119
And with that connection between in your body relaxing and

2674
09:06:02.319 --> 09:06:16.120
the word that you say to yourself relax, means that

2675
09:06:16.239 --> 09:06:22.879
you don't need to focus on just one part. You

2676
09:06:22.959 --> 09:06:27.879
can just focus on your entire body.

2677
09:06:34.080 --> 09:06:51.639
Saying the powerful word relax, and there's.

2678
09:06:53.480 --> 09:07:12.599
Those familiar sensations of comfort spreading throughout your body, loosening

2679
09:07:12.959 --> 09:07:27.160
and calming and healing every part of your body, feeding.

2680
09:07:28.800 --> 09:07:49.879
More relaxed, so that all you need to do from

2681
09:07:50.000 --> 09:07:51.040
now on is just.

2682
09:07:52.919 --> 09:08:27.120
Tell yourself relax and observe feeding completely comfortable and come So,

2683
09:08:31.879 --> 09:09:34.839
starting now with number twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen.

2684
09:09:56.800 --> 09:10:24.440
Fourteen, assassatas.

2685
09:10:27.680 --> 09:11:02.959
Ye well.

2686
09:11:47.519 --> 09:15:32.879
Easy attatatatatas.

2687
09:15:18.519 --> 09:15:22.000
As a.

2688
09:15:25.959 --> 09:19:33.120
Stucco wh.

2689
09:20:00.199 --> 09:21:13.919
Statists us.

2690
09:22:21.599 --> 09:22:42.959
One. So counted down from ten to one ten nine

2691
09:22:44.639 --> 09:23:02.000
eight seven, six five four three two.

2692
09:23:04.599 --> 09:23:04.800
One.

2693
09:23:11.839 --> 09:23:14.720
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

2694
09:23:14.800 --> 09:23:18.720
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

2695
09:23:19.040 --> 09:23:28.720
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

2696
09:23:28.800 --> 09:23:32.599
little bit of pressure there, Like you're counting down from

2697
09:23:32.720 --> 09:23:35.360
ten to one. Would you expect me to do? Man,

2698
09:23:36.319 --> 09:23:40.000
expect me to stick go with floppy just because you're

2699
09:23:40.080 --> 09:23:41.120
counting down.

2700
09:23:45.239 --> 09:23:45.440
Two.

2701
09:23:46.440 --> 09:23:49.760
If you try it again, but this time, I'll go

2702
09:23:49.919 --> 09:23:50.959
this slower.

2703
09:23:52.760 --> 09:23:57.639
This time, and you focus on the whole of your

2704
09:23:57.680 --> 09:24:04.279
body before we if it's on your legs. Just notice

2705
09:24:05.919 --> 09:24:18.639
how your body does start to feel more relaxed with

2706
09:24:19.959 --> 09:25:02.160
every number that I count down ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

2707
09:25:12.599 --> 09:25:34.440
four three two.

2708
09:25:55.199 --> 09:25:55.440
One.

2709
09:26:01.000 --> 09:26:12.360
Wow, And just notice how how you feel generally, how

2710
09:26:12.400 --> 09:26:26.519
your body feels. It's not necessarily even about yeah, counting

2711
09:26:26.639 --> 09:26:33.760
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

2712
09:26:35.080 --> 09:26:58.680
that space between being active physically or mentally, just sitting

2713
09:26:58.919 --> 09:27:03.720
or lying down, just being there, not doing anything, not

2714
09:27:04.000 --> 09:27:11.000
saying anything, not deeding to think about anything. So it

2715
09:27:11.120 --> 09:27:14.680
opens up a space, you know, a bit of a space,

2716
09:27:15.680 --> 09:27:25.239
a gap. And the more I camped down for the

2717
09:27:25.360 --> 09:27:32.959
tental one, the bigger that gap becomes. So there's that

2718
09:27:33.199 --> 09:27:49.480
gap of calmness, of comfort and relaxation. It's a nice feeling, yeah,

2719
09:27:51.360 --> 09:27:59.879
And it moves those stresses or discomforts physically or emotional,

2720
09:28:00.760 --> 09:28:11.519
moves them away. Allows you.

2721
09:28:14.199 --> 09:28:14.720
To just.

2722
09:28:17.720 --> 09:28:18.360
Slow down.

2723
09:28:22.040 --> 09:28:23.160
Someone to count.

2724
09:28:22.919 --> 09:28:29.519
Again from ten down to one. And notice that gap widening,

2725
09:28:31.720 --> 09:28:36.160
the gap, and as it widens, it's almost like the

2726
09:28:37.879 --> 09:28:55.440
stress and attention falls into the gap. It gives you

2727
09:28:55.519 --> 09:28:59.120
that distance, that space.

2728
09:29:01.519 --> 09:29:01.559
No.

2729
09:29:06.440 --> 09:29:51.360
Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

2730
09:30:02.199 --> 09:30:21.319
Four three.

2731
09:30:37.400 --> 09:30:56.279
Two one.

2732
09:31:07.839 --> 09:31:27.319
And how does your body you feel now? Can you

2733
09:31:27.519 --> 09:31:43.319
notice that? Do you feeling calmer? Are you feeling more relaxed?

2734
09:32:05.800 --> 09:32:10.160
As we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

2735
09:32:26.160 --> 09:32:30.959
You're just going to start with focusing on your thighs.

2736
09:32:45.800 --> 09:32:50.120
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be done,

2737
09:32:50.879 --> 09:32:57.239
because I'm sure like most of your body is not

2738
09:32:57.559 --> 09:33:09.919
not going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

2739
09:33:10.040 --> 09:33:16.440
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

2740
09:33:16.599 --> 09:33:23.599
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

2741
09:33:23.680 --> 09:33:28.599
and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh

2742
09:33:28.720 --> 09:33:38.000
that leads into your hip and it goes down to your.

2743
09:33:39.959 --> 09:33:40.639
Knee joints.

2744
09:33:45.800 --> 09:33:53.000
Now, this is a big area. It's a very heavy area.

2745
09:33:53.519 --> 09:33:59.480
It's very strong, probably the strongest muscles in your body.

2746
09:34:00.160 --> 09:34:01.080
Bring your thighs.

2747
09:34:11.279 --> 09:34:12.160
But I don't think we.

2748
09:34:13.919 --> 09:34:26.480
Perhaps would give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we

2749
09:34:26.639 --> 09:34:37.279
don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to our lives,

2750
09:34:48.800 --> 09:34:58.199
how much they actually do for us all through our lives.

2751
09:35:05.360 --> 09:35:10.919
And it may seem to sound really weird, but I

2752
09:35:11.080 --> 09:35:12.239
think that all of our.

2753
09:35:12.160 --> 09:35:23.160
Body parts, especially adviies, need some TLC, a bit of.

2754
09:35:23.279 --> 09:35:25.480
Love shown, a bit of.

2755
09:35:32.040 --> 09:35:44.680
Acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for what advis do for us.

2756
09:35:51.239 --> 09:35:54.040
And I know this may sound and a strange.

2757
09:35:56.599 --> 09:35:59.680
Maybe you think, why am I Surely I should be

2758
09:35:59.720 --> 09:36:02.720
able to in the garden hugging a tree or something.

2759
09:36:08.680 --> 09:36:10.959
It's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.

2760
09:36:12.000 --> 09:36:14.199
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

2761
09:36:14.279 --> 09:36:18.040
outside hugging a tree. Now I can't see the television

2762
09:36:18.040 --> 09:36:28.800
from the tree. You move down to your knees gain

2763
09:36:29.120 --> 09:36:37.199
such an important part, And I think we don't necessarily

2764
09:36:38.720 --> 09:36:45.120
I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate.

2765
09:36:46.199 --> 09:36:49.839
All that my needs do for me until.

2766
09:36:51.080 --> 09:36:54.559
I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally if

2767
09:36:54.599 --> 09:36:54.919
I either.

2768
09:36:56.400 --> 09:36:59.040
Maybe i'll pash it or it's.

2769
09:36:59.040 --> 09:37:04.760
Aching for some reason. It's then that I realize.

2770
09:37:05.360 --> 09:37:06.480
How much it does.

2771
09:37:08.120 --> 09:37:11.360
You know, the benefit of being able to use my

2772
09:37:11.639 --> 09:37:21.279
legs without any kind of physical discomfort. Is a beautiful

2773
09:37:21.360 --> 09:37:29.400
thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

2774
09:37:30.559 --> 09:37:32.480
You know that's comfort.

2775
09:37:36.080 --> 09:37:40.680
Do as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

2776
09:37:40.760 --> 09:37:48.919
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude.

2777
09:37:49.760 --> 09:37:52.360
And love to your needs for all that they do

2778
09:37:52.599 --> 09:38:03.760
for you, and you can.

2779
09:38:03.760 --> 09:38:08.000
Still have that attention on your thighs. Maybe you notice

2780
09:38:08.080 --> 09:38:14.959
how your thighs feel, maybe you've noticed that they are

2781
09:38:16.800 --> 09:38:33.160
relaxing more deeply as you focus now on the bottoms

2782
09:38:33.199 --> 09:38:37.639
of your legs machines and your car muscles and the

2783
09:38:37.720 --> 09:38:40.160
bones between.

2784
09:38:39.879 --> 09:38:43.199
Your knees and your feet.

2785
09:38:44.519 --> 09:38:46.120
Incorporate and course.

2786
09:38:45.919 --> 09:38:50.000
Your ankles so important.

2787
09:38:55.440 --> 09:39:00.319
Can anyone that's had even like the slightest spin of

2788
09:39:00.400 --> 09:39:00.879
an ankle?

2789
09:39:01.839 --> 09:39:07.360
Who knows how how much we take our.

2790
09:39:07.440 --> 09:39:16.000
Ankles are granted, And it's kind of strange in a

2791
09:39:16.040 --> 09:39:21.599
way when you think that. You know, logically, our wrists

2792
09:39:21.800 --> 09:39:24.639
are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms,

2793
09:39:25.760 --> 09:39:29.279
which is okay, it doesn't I can't see any problem

2794
09:39:29.319 --> 09:39:29.440
with that.

2795
09:39:30.839 --> 09:39:31.360
You know, we're just.

2796
09:39:31.440 --> 09:39:32.279
Picking stuff up.

2797
09:39:33.919 --> 09:39:40.080
Our ankles so much thinner than the rest of our legs,

2798
09:39:46.519 --> 09:39:50.959
and from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't

2799
09:39:51.000 --> 09:39:57.000
really make sense that all this weight will ultimately be

2800
09:39:58.120 --> 09:40:03.800
resting on your ankles then leading to your feet.

2801
09:40:08.120 --> 09:40:16.519
At the thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does so

2802
09:40:16.760 --> 09:40:17.680
much great work.

2803
09:40:19.839 --> 09:40:29.480
Supports us, supports our body for a lifetime, helps us.

2804
09:40:30.040 --> 09:40:39.400
To balance, helps you to get around and be mobile.

2805
09:40:45.720 --> 09:40:53.080
And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when I was.

2806
09:40:53.160 --> 09:40:55.879
Younger then I couldn't see the point in calf muscles

2807
09:40:56.760 --> 09:40:57.879
didn't seem to do anything.

2808
09:40:59.440 --> 09:41:03.599
Okay, if I walked around my tiptoes, then my.

2809
09:41:03.720 --> 09:41:07.800
Calf muscles get some work. But of course that's not true.

2810
09:41:07.959 --> 09:41:12.760
The calf muscles are being used whenever we use our legs.

2811
09:41:18.120 --> 09:41:30.720
And your shins. There to protect your lower legs, shaped

2812
09:41:30.760 --> 09:41:35.080
in a way at most is a protector with a

2813
09:41:35.160 --> 09:41:46.160
bone leading of course to your ankles.

2814
09:41:49.599 --> 09:41:56.639
In your feet, I'm not going to focus on your feet.

2815
09:41:56.760 --> 09:41:58.319
You're just going to focus on the legs.

2816
09:42:00.400 --> 09:42:01.639
I realize.

2817
09:42:03.319 --> 09:42:05.080
Now that I've mentioned your feet it.

2818
09:42:05.160 --> 09:42:09.239
Could be a decision on them anywhere. But maybe I

2819
09:42:09.319 --> 09:42:15.519
should focus on your feet a little bit. You can

2820
09:42:15.639 --> 09:42:21.959
have them awareness the same as you have your thighs.

2821
09:42:21.879 --> 09:42:22.720
In your awareness.

2822
09:42:23.599 --> 09:42:24.879
Even though we haven't been.

2823
09:42:24.879 --> 09:42:30.360
Focusing on your thighs for a few minutes and you're

2824
09:42:30.400 --> 09:42:44.839
focusing on your ankles. They still that sensation of comfort

2825
09:42:47.559 --> 09:42:55.279
in your thighs, and its that movement.

2826
09:42:56.360 --> 09:43:04.319
Of energy because of fire is hold lots of different sensations.

2827
09:43:05.800 --> 09:43:09.720
Of course, there's the muscles, the big straw.

2828
09:43:09.480 --> 09:43:21.800
Muscles that we have in our eyes. But the skin.

2829
09:43:23.400 --> 09:43:27.879
On the outside of the dice as in the outside

2830
09:43:27.879 --> 09:43:32.879
of it, all of our body can be very sensitive,

2831
09:43:36.760 --> 09:43:37.559
sensitive to.

2832
09:43:37.680 --> 09:43:42.839
The touch, sensitive to temperature.

2833
09:43:48.919 --> 09:43:56.680
And inside you dies bones, there's the muscle, there's.

2834
09:43:56.480 --> 09:43:58.760
The blood, vessel of the art trees.

2835
09:44:00.080 --> 09:44:09.480
To all this stuff inside your thighs. I guess sometimes.

2836
09:44:09.720 --> 09:44:12.279
It'd be nice if you can actually put your fingers

2837
09:44:13.559 --> 09:44:20.639
inside your eyes and message. Take a message on the outside,

2838
09:44:20.879 --> 09:44:24.519
of course, but able to get deep into the muscles,

2839
09:44:25.559 --> 09:44:26.120
to be able.

2840
09:44:25.959 --> 09:44:31.480
To just message inside your byes, message in the bones

2841
09:44:32.360 --> 09:44:38.879
of your legs, all.

2842
09:44:38.720 --> 09:44:49.239
The aims and just gimle even of thyes, and you

2843
09:44:49.319 --> 09:44:56.440
can move it down message and inside your less message

2844
09:44:56.480 --> 09:45:06.959
your bones with healing this spirit on that yet.

2845
09:45:05.440 --> 09:45:14.599
To the choice means loose is the.

2846
09:45:14.720 --> 09:45:19.279
Back me inside crease.

2847
09:45:20.519 --> 09:45:21.360
Me this.

2848
09:45:23.440 --> 09:45:31.480
This sensitive m that's advice who was stricken? That might

2849
09:45:31.559 --> 09:45:43.000
be because it's the name of most.

2850
09:45:38.480 --> 09:45:44.440
I can keep him at mm hmm.

2851
09:45:47.559 --> 09:45:48.400
That part.

2852
09:45:50.319 --> 09:46:01.559
Is a sensitive to PS.

2853
09:46:01.639 --> 09:46:02.959
You take the pang it
