00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:06.160
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:23.839
Jason Newland and hello, Hello, how are you good? It's

3
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:31.320
hot so hot in here. Today is the twenty fifth

4
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:39.240
of June two thousand and twenty five, and it is

5
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:48.039
six thirty four pum. So please only listen when you

6
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:49.679
can safely closerize.

7
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.719
Oh tired, very tired.

8
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:09.959
Oh so something on there? Why is that not giving

9
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:19.640
me analytics? That's strange. It's very strange. It's going on podcasts,

10
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.319
so I've got multiple podcasts. Why is it not give

11
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.840
me analytics? So I'm just looking at the analytics, get

12
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:35.680
insights about your website, visiting our stats. Okay, it's not

13
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:37.599
given me any of the moment. It doesn't matter. It

14
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:44.799
doesn't don't matter. When I got my website back. The

15
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.040
person who runs the podcast or I don't know, telling

16
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.519
me off. You can't keep stopping, you can't keep you

17
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.920
deleting it because otherwise, you know, I can't keep There's

18
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.519
a lot of work to get it back. It's okay,

19
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.079
you need to joining annual. So I can't afford anal.

20
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.239
I said, well you need to. You have to pay

21
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.199
for anal because it it's basically we need to know

22
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.240
that you can stay for the full year, and I said, well,

23
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.520
I can't afford. I can't do that. I can do monthly.

24
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.319
And in the end he said, okay, then monthly is

25
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.680
So that was all right. I'm going to go on

26
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.879
to Facebook because I had a few comments. I'm going

27
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.039
to read out some of the messages that I've had

28
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:41.560
on Facebook. My back is hurting. I think with all

29
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.639
the car journeys and the bus journeys, there's a lot

30
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:50.759
of jolting around on the roads. They're not very smooth,

31
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.560
a lot of them. I've noticed that's kind of jolted

32
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.039
my back quite a lot, and I'm not used to it.

33
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:04.719
So I'm not sure what else whatever reasons reasons, I

34
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:11.960
don't know what they are from my back is so.

35
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:16.560
So look, I did do a recording. Actually I did

36
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.400
a recording. According to this, I did a recording on

37
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:24.560
Saturday as well, which I don't remember doing. And it

38
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:31.120
was a deep sleep whisper hypnosis recording which I did

39
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:44.080
on the twenty second of June, which was indeed Sunday.

40
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.319
Twenty second of June was Sunday, all right, so I

41
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.840
did it. I don't remember doing recording on Sunday. How

42
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:54.840
did I manage to do that?

43
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:57.560
Weird?

44
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:03.360
Strange? So technically, so this is the third one of

45
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.159
the week because I did do one Sunday, did one Monday. No,

46
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.039
I didn't do one Monday. I did one yesterday, which

47
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:17.319
was Tuesday. And it's kind of strange. It's all being

48
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.800
a bit weird. It's just been weird. It's been a

49
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.360
weird week. Weird, weird, weird, weird. If you want to

50
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.079
know more about that, then I suggest you listened to

51
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.759
yesterday's recording to save me go through it again and

52
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:36.319
boring those that already have ingested the boringness of yesterday's

53
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.800
a recording just to say that I've been visiting a

54
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:46.000
neighbor in hospital and that would be yeah, that's kind

55
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.920
of been the whole week so far. So Friday night

56
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.399
and then Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, so six days

57
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.439
in a row. I've been going up and back and

58
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:05.360
forward to the hospital. Six So it's what twelve journeys

59
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:15.759
or thirteen fourteen fifteen maybe if you include the buses,

60
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.519
sixteen seventeen eighteen journeys, because the buses, it's two journeys

61
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:28.199
to get here. But I genuinely cannot remember which days

62
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.680
I got a taxi, which days I have got bus,

63
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.560
Which days I got a lift from a neighbor, paid

64
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:34.839
them ten pounds to take me.

65
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.680
It's it's a bit of a blur, a bit a blur.

66
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:50.439
Today I got a taxi there and back because it

67
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.399
took me two hours to get home last night or

68
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:59.079
yesterday afternoon on the bus or two different buses with

69
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.040
the walk in the waiting and the journeys, it's the

70
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.839
two hour journey. And I just I just think of

71
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.920
a little Vinnie waiting here for me because it doesn't

72
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.839
eat his dinner, doesn't It's like lazier pining for me.

73
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.879
I imagine he doesn't doesn't like it when to go out,

74
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:27.000
really doesn't like it when I go out, really really

75
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:34.240
doesn't like it. And I found there that's weird breakfast

76
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:40.519
cereal in the middle of the settee buttocks, you know,

77
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:52.600
been between the two buttocks of the city increase. Yeah,

78
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.439
I'm just going to try to remember what happened today.

79
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:59.879
What happened today. Last night was weird. Okay, this is

80
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:07.279
very strange, Vinnie. So I had a sleep in the afternoon,

81
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.720
like I just did, just now as well. So I

82
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.000
had probably about an hour an hour and a half

83
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:17.120
sleep and then he started barking summon in the garden.

84
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.160
So what I did is I went to bed. It

85
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.279
wasn't an early night last night, funny enough, probably about eleven,

86
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.680
maybe half eleven, even because I did the recording, which

87
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.399
was nearly towards an hour and forty minutes before going

88
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:42.879
to bed. And yeah, it's just just the way it went,

89
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.560
I guess because my sleeping is a little bit out

90
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.800
because really ever since Friday, because normally I'm up on

91
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:56.680
I go to bed about ten o'clock, sometimes eleven, sometimes nine,

92
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.000
you know, on a weekend, if it's boxing on, i'd

93
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.439
go to bed after the box and finishes, and sometimes

94
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:07.120
that can be about half eleven twelve. But generally, and

95
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.839
it's not because I have to, I don't go to

96
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.000
bed at ten because that's my bedtime and I get

97
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.800
in trouble if I don't. I don't have anyone coming

98
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:18.160
in checking that my eyes are closed. It's nothing that

99
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.079
would be really weird, wouldn't it, especially as I live alone.

100
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.439
So I choose to do that, and that's kind of

101
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:33.559
been my routine for the last couple of years. Really. Friday,

102
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.879
I was up till I was at the hospital to

103
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:42.720
about half three in the morning. I'd already gone to

104
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:47.320
bed at ten and kind of, yeah, that didn't work out.

105
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.679
So I ended up in the hospital with my neighbor,

106
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.679
and then I got home probably just after four. It

107
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.559
was quite a quick journey because there was no traffic

108
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:02.399
on the roads, really, but I was too or I

109
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.960
was tired. I was too awake to go to sleep,

110
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.879
and I was also really hungry because I hadn't eaten

111
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:14.279
since probably six o'clock in the evening, so I needed

112
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.799
I had some breakfast seal, which is all I needed really,

113
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.759
just something, just a little bit of food. So I

114
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:24.440
didn't go to bed hungry, and I eventually went to sleep.

115
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.960
I fell asleep in the chair here, woke up about

116
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:34.279
eight nine, about eight o'clock year and then I went Saturday,

117
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:36.799
I just started again. I think I left at eleven

118
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.519
or midday Saturday to go to the hospital, and I've

119
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.600
been back and forward every day. But I don't seem

120
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.720
to have caught up my sleep, which is probably a

121
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.960
bit weird. But I kind of don't, yeah, kind of

122
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.720
a bit. And there isn't it that whole theory that

123
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.360
you can never catch up on your sleep. I don't know.

124
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:03.360
Last night.

125
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.320
I went to bed a bit later than I normally do,

126
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.039
which is fine because I'd had a sleep in the afternoon.

127
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.480
It's usually this is going to sound weird. I quite

128
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:21.279
often have an afternoon nap in my normal day to day,

129
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.720
but I haven't had that, you know, for the last week.

130
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.840
I'm not sure if it's a good thing or about

131
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.120
or a neutral thing. I don't know, just it just

132
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.120
hasn't happened. So I'd like a late or early evening

133
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:44.080
nap instead. Last night, Vinnie wouldn't we would not get

134
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:50.240
on the bed with me. He refused to get on

135
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:59.960
the bed, and I didn't really understand why. It just

136
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.159
wouldn't like he refused to point blank to get on

137
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:09.320
the bed with me. So I took him, I think,

138
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.240
and then he did get on eventually eventually did but

139
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.240
he was being really weird about it. And then at

140
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:24.080
two o'clock this morning, he was on the floor looking

141
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.320
up at me from the floor, you know. And I

142
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.720
don't know. I guess he must have been making some

143
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.399
noise or scratching at the bed or something to wake

144
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:36.919
me up, and I said, what is it Lassie? And nothing? So,

145
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.399
I mean, Lassie is such a ridiculous TV show. If

146
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:47.440
anyone ever watched it, dogs communicating and letting you know.

147
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.320
If Lassie was a Jack Russell like Minnie, that show

148
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.519
would last for five minutes and the end, in the end,

149
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.240
that just that'd be it. It'd be like, what is it?

150
00:11:59.279 --> 00:11:59.759
What is it?

151
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:00.440
Oh?

152
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.360
You want to you want to treat Okay, that's it.

153
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.519
And he just jumped up when I said that. So

154
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.399
about two o'clock, I don't know what's going on, so

155
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.399
I give him some food. I thought maybe it's hungry.

156
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.159
He eats the food and I go and lay down again,

157
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:25.799
and he's still standing there or sitting down staring at me. Now,

158
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.279
I don't have any treats. Run out of treats for him.

159
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.799
I still got these little bony things that he can

160
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.399
have chew on, but I've got no treats. He's got

161
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.279
through them. I haven't been able to do any shopping

162
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:42.159
this week yet. Got some milk from the hospitals. That's

163
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.159
kind of all I've got. I've got been trying to

164
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.480
eat when I've been out, and I have crumpets for

165
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.919
my dinner. Tonight, so that's good. I got them from

166
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:55.639
the hospital as well. And I can't believe the restaurant's closed.

167
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.559
I was going to have a meal because when my

168
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.440
neighbor's having his meal, I go and go and get

169
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.799
something to eat. And so far as just being costers

170
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.759
like a toasted sandwich thing, a toasty or whatever they

171
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:16.679
call them. But I thought, oh, I'll try out the restaurants.

172
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.320
It was closed at the weekend, I'll try that out.

173
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.360
And I went along and turns out it's being refurbished,

174
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:29.639
so it's just not open for anyone, including the stuff.

175
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:32.440
I think the stuff for taking sandwiches in.

176
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:34.080
Well.

177
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.399
Actually, I did see a lot of the nurses and

178
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.279
doctors in costers, so I imagine they're getting quite a

179
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.559
good amount of money coming in. I hope that they

180
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:50.279
get a discount. I really do. And in fact, without

181
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:56.919
getting political political nurses, doctors, they shouldn't pay a damn thing.

182
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.440
Anyone who works in the hospital should get free food,

183
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.200
or school kids or school kids and teachers should get

184
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:10.039
free food. I'm going further, everyone should get free food. Okay,

185
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:16.600
I'm now back, so i I've got some messages to

186
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:18.559
read out. Okay, So I'm going to do that in

187
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:23.440
a minute. The I just didn't know what to do.

188
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.799
I didn't what what what is it? What is it?

189
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:26.159
Vinnie?

190
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:26.679
What is it?

191
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.879
I didn't you can really figure it out. It was

192
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.559
bugging me. But he wasn't being obvious of what he wanted.

193
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.840
He wasn't running towards the front door. He wasn't looking

194
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.519
at the kitchen door. He wasn't, you know, he wasn't

195
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.240
doing anything particular. So in the end, I thought, maybe

196
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.759
he needs a wee wi or something else, you know,

197
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.639
so I'll take him outside into the garden. For some reason,

198
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:59.360
it wasn't really that dark out there. It means normally

199
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.639
dark at two clock in the morning, but it was

200
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.039
relatively light, so I went out there. He does go

201
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.080
for a weed, but that's not what he wanted. And

202
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:15.600
he kept looking at the doorway of the other building.

203
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.919
And I don't even know why. I'm not, just like

204
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:25.519
why two o'clock in the morning. And then he I

205
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:29.879
dropped the hand you know, the handle for the lead,

206
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:31.600
because I have to have my lead on his inner

207
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:34.639
garden otherwise he will just run off. I dropped the

208
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.240
lead on the floor and it made a big old bang.

209
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.399
Like bang actually was less of a bang, more of

210
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:52.039
a splat or clap, you know, plastic concrete and a

211
00:15:52.039 --> 00:16:01.879
bit like I imagine Pamela Anderson doing some break dancing anyway.

212
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.679
So that's quite a really old reference, isn't it. Really,

213
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.879
that's like a nineties reference. I mean both of them

214
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.679
are kind of nineteen I mean breakdancing more nineteen eighties,

215
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.639
isn't it. I love breakdancing the movie Breakdancing or is

216
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:26.200
it Breakdancing A Breakdancer? It was one of the best

217
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:32.960
movies ever at the time. And when do you see

218
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.799
it ever played? Not in this country. I've don't think

219
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:39.679
I've ever seen it on TV. It's like a forgotten movie.

220
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.840
And it was absolutely brilliant. It was uplifting, it was

221
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:50.039
and the dance techniques were phenomenal. It was new, you know,

222
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.080
and that wasn't new new. I suppose anything that goes

223
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.080
into a cinema would have probably been around for years.

224
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.759
I've seen footage of Michael Jackson doing the robot walk

225
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:07.160
in the seventies, like in seventy five, seventy six, So

226
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:13.680
it wasn't a new a new new thing, but it

227
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:18.039
was amazing, and there's a couple of those movies that

228
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:28.039
are really good. Now, I've realized a few things over

229
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.039
the years. Over the years, I've learned a few things.

230
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.799
First of all, I can't listen to someone like me.

231
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.720
But my neighbor is kind of a little bit like me.

232
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.400
But when it comes to sport, he will talk about sport,

233
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:53.359
sport or politics. That's his thing, and he can talk

234
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:58.839
about it. I think he could do twelve hours straight

235
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:03.880
and you just keep talking. And he's very passionate.

236
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.680
It's very.

237
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.319
Yeah, he's excited, he gets excited, and he's just loves

238
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:20.440
loves talking about stuff. And I struggle, struggled because I'm

239
00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:25.039
not interested. If it's a subject i'm not interested in,

240
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:30.200
my eyes do glaze over and I can't. I can't listen. Now,

241
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.680
it took me many years to realize that people's eyes

242
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:39.400
were glazing over when I was talking because I so

243
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.319
much Now, you know, I suppose ever since I learned

244
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:44.599
to be a counselor, I kind of learned a bit

245
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:51.000
more communication skills, human communication skills. And also when I

246
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.359
was a excuse me, when I was a salesperson on

247
00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:59.240
the phones, working in a call center. So it's a

248
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:06.319
you know, it's a conversation. So I had twenty years

249
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.240
of learning to do that stuff. Twenty five years of

250
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.359
learning to do that stuff, I guess now twenty years,

251
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:20.640
ten years, I don't know however many years. But my

252
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.119
favorite is probably just the monologu where I just talk

253
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.400
at people, but I know I can't do that apart

254
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:38.000
from what I do, these wecord things and I learned

255
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.640
years ago. Like I remember seeing people's eyes glaze over.

256
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.559
I didn't ask doing it, and I didn't notice the glaze,

257
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:52.079
the glazing of their eyes until I started learning about hypnosis,

258
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.119
and I started at that time, I started playing around

259
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:59.720
with it because I'd move from what I was talking

260
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.920
about out to something completely different and they didn't even notice.

261
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:12.160
That's when I realized that I was naturally a hypnotist,

262
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:18.440
like my natural Like I was hypnotizing people without even

263
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.759
realizing O came not maybe not hypnotizing, putting them into

264
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:27.240
a trance, about realizing I was doing it and making

265
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:33.319
a focus and then almost drift, you know, not really

266
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.559
be there, be there, but not be there. It's kind

267
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.160
of a weird, weird one. And so what I started

268
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:45.039
doing is playing with it. Sometimes I have to have

269
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:53.440
a drink sometimes and this is in the late nineties. Okay,

270
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:58.200
when I was in full hypnotic mode, I would start

271
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:02.119
talking to someone and then I would just lead and

272
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:04.759
I just keep talking, and they just look at me

273
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.759
and I just keep talking and they just keep talking

274
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.240
and see how long I could talk a complete nonsense

275
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.720
before they realized I was just talking complete nonsense. And

276
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.160
sometimes I could go on for like ten minutes and

277
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.839
I'd ask them a question and be like, huh, and

278
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.640
they had gone, They'd been somewhere else. They like, really well,

279
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:32.039
they weren't there. And I used to play with that

280
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.119
just because for fun. I wasn't doing it in a

281
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:38.240
harmful way. I wasn't giving them suggestions or anything. I

282
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:44.480
was just distracting them and then started talking about lawn

283
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:51.839
mowers and gremlins and pizza and I just think things

284
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.519
that had nothing to do with why we were actually

285
00:21:54.559 --> 00:22:01.400
having a conversation. I was like, wow, I mean, technically,

286
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:05.519
I could have started these podcasts in the late nineties.

287
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:07.839
I could have started Let Me Bore You to Sleep

288
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:16.039
in nineteen ninety nine, ninety eight, ninety nine, which would

289
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:21.079
make me one of the longest podcasts of all time.

290
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.640
But I didn't. I mean podcasts, I don't think we're

291
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.079
even really around them. But you know, I could have

292
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.920
made audios. There were ways of listening to audio online

293
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:44.119
back then. So yeah, it's too late now. But it's

294
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.160
too late now. I can't go back and start it earlier.

295
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:50.119
I mean, it's the old saying, isn't it. When's the

296
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:51.359
best time to start something?

297
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:52.279
Now?

298
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.160
There's never a good time, and the best time is now.

299
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.319
I thought, don't ever wait. You can wait and wait

300
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.720
and wait. I used to know something like that. It

301
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.319
was always, oh, I'm going to do this when this happens,

302
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.319
and then you end up like, still haven't done it

303
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:14.039
thirty years later. And I've been like that many times

304
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:20.400
over the years, and I probably still will be. I'm

305
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:25.519
a bit like that with vacuuming the carpet. I'll do it.

306
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:29.039
I was gonna say, I'm going to do it next week.

307
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:32.599
I'm going to do it in the next two weeks.

308
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.000
I started off I'm going to do it this afternoon.

309
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:38.640
Then no, I'm going to do it tomorrow. I'll do

310
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:43.240
it before Saturday. I'll do it next week. I'll do

311
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:46.839
it over the weekend. I'll do it next week and

312
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:48.599
now I'm kind of like I'm gonna I'm going to

313
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:53.640
vacuum before I'm sixty, you know, kind of the the

314
00:23:53.680 --> 00:24:00.559
deadlines kind of extended somewhat. Now I'm going to read

315
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.160
these messages out because there was a point to what

316
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:08.200
I was saying, and I've forgotten what it is. Here's

317
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:13.599
one message from yesterday. Sebastian, believe it or not, left

318
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:17.640
another weird message. So let's have a look. What did

319
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:23.200
Sebastian right? Stop producing when you're feeling unwell. You own

320
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:27.160
me sex, but not daily recordings. No need to risk

321
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:31.759
a blip. You did well with helping your neighbor. I'll

322
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:34.599
just put question marks to answer that one.

323
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:40.200
The thing is, it's.

324
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:50.920
I'd rather make a recording. I still talk boringly. Think

325
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.759
about it. How often do I actually I think you

326
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:56.000
can hear that dog in the background. How often do

327
00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.160
I actually do anything? I rarely leave the flat. I

328
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.839
don't really go out and do much. So this has

329
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:09.519
given me stuff to talk about. So it's kind of,

330
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:15.599
you know, from that sense, I know it's kind of

331
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.240
a weird subject, hospitals and stuff, and he wants to

332
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.000
hear about hospitals. But I'm not going to go into

333
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:24.960
detail about anything about hospital. It's just somewhere that I'm

334
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:32.960
actually visiting at the moment. So you know, I understand

335
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:43.480
kind of where seb asked Sebastian is coming from. But yeah,

336
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:49.000
so part of that was nice. But yeah, like I

337
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:56.480
owe him what? So he writes what to Sebastian and

338
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:01.000
to me, are these additional services now being offered to you?

339
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:06.759
They are? But not to him says oh yes, but Sebastian, no,

340
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:12.839
definitely not. And then Sebastia decided that the picture looked

341
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:18.079
like Harvey Kai tell on my image, and Christine says,

342
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.160
it was really interesting and could understand your situation and

343
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:24.119
now I know what to do if I was in

344
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.440
your position. You are an amazing neighbor and friend, a

345
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:31.559
good person. We could do with more kind, caring people

346
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.240
like you. You'll be exhausted after all that. Thank you

347
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:37.480
for sharing his story and I wish you your friend well.

348
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:43.240
Thank you, Christine. Yeah, it has been exhausting. I think

349
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:47.720
weird today. He was being awkward today. He was being

350
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:53.720
a little bit aggressive verbally not I don't know, it's

351
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.880
hard to explain, but he was getting a little bit antsy.

352
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:06.359
Is that a word antsy, a little bit argumentative. So

353
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:10.599
I don't really know what was going on with him. Well,

354
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:12.960
I can guess, you know what's going on. I know

355
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:14.960
what's going on with him, but I can guess that

356
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:20.039
he just may I don't know. It was a weird

357
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:23.640
one because he's he seems to be a little bit

358
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:30.160
different each day. He's very calm, very softly spoken, but

359
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.359
then when he gets going, he's he kind of started

360
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:40.039
getting a bit angry like that, like expressive expressive. Yeah,

361
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:43.599
maybe not towards me, a little bit towards me, but

362
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:50.960
towards what he was talking about and like complaining about something.

363
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:56.799
It was like, okay, it's like a maybe a different

364
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:02.119
side to him that I've not really seen much of. Perhaps,

365
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:08.759
So yeah, it was a bit weird. I mean, I

366
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:11.880
kind of at one point he was saying, well, you

367
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.160
go and get back to Vinnie. I think he was

368
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:20.319
almost trying to kick me out. I think I'd annoyed

369
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:22.559
him at some point I said something that must have

370
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:24.880
annoyed him, So I think he might be thinking that

371
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:27.680
I'm the one that was being annoying, and I'm thinking

372
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:29.920
that he was the one being not annoying. I don't know,

373
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:34.519
there was one point where we walked through the hospital

374
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:37.920
because I take him out every day, and I don't

375
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:43.359
think he I'm not sure if he really appreciates going out,

376
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:46.240
but all the other people in his ward are not

377
00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:51.599
allowed out. He's allowed out because he's got he's got

378
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:54.039
his mobility and he's got me and I kind of

379
00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:58.839
take him and he's not walk. It's weird, but he's

380
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:02.839
not walking away. He used to walk. He's very he's

381
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:05.200
getting on a bit, but he's he's been walking to

382
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:10.799
the petro station every day since I've known him, and

383
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:13.240
now said he's walking like one foot in front of

384
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:17.839
the other, very slowly and almost holding on to me

385
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:21.759
at times. But he's physically fine, he says. So I'm

386
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:25.720
kind of a little bit confused. But so we're walking

387
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.839
really slowly through the hospital. Reminded me a little bit

388
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:33.279
about when my nan had doesn't say when she had

389
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:36.000
her hip, but she always she always had two hips,

390
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:41.839
but when she'd like her that damaged her hip. And

391
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:46.000
he tripped up on some lino that was sticking up,

392
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:50.119
which was in the middle of a doorway it which

393
00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:54.960
is quite close to the exit and the entrance, and

394
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:57.240
some people on the left hand side. I don't know

395
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:03.359
what they were doing, but they laughed. He didn't fall over,

396
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:07.559
so I grabbed him, but he didn't fall over anyway

397
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.119
because he you know, he kind of got his foot.

398
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:13.319
In and.

399
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:24.279
I the thing is, the people that laughed might have

400
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:26.920
just been laughing anyway. They might have just been in

401
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:31.720
the middle of a conversation. So I just I had

402
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.920
to blank that out. My natural reaction is to possibly

403
00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:39.839
say something, so I no, no, no, no. So I turned

404
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:43.319
to the reception because there's literally a help desk right

405
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:47.920
next to where he tripped, and I said to him

406
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:51.720
that he's literally a bit of lino sticking up off

407
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:56.200
the floor and he tripped, luckily didn't fall over, But

408
00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.000
that's an accident waiting to happen, and a lady beyond account.

409
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:04.359
I said, okay, I'll get the whatever to fix it.

410
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.039
Still wasn't fixed when I left. I mean it was

411
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:09.200
only like an hour or two hours later, or an

412
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:13.319
hour and a half that I left later. But it's like,

413
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.279
that's a health and safety issue. It needs to be

414
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:21.559
done quickly because thousands of people are walking through there

415
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:30.119
every day, thousands and thousands. But it was weird because

416
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:37.640
even though he's only I mean, he's very light. I imagine

417
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:42.119
compared to me, he can't wait very much. Even then

418
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:46.799
it's someone falls, it's hard to stop them from falling,

419
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:51.200
isn't it. I'll stop him, you know, even if it

420
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:53.599
means he lands on me. I will stop him from falling.

421
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.839
But at the same time, I don't want him to

422
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:01.559
get hurt. And it was weird because putting his arm

423
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:05.680
out to just generally always were walking sort of almost

424
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:09.119
like to keep his balance. I'm kind of I'm just

425
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:10.759
a little bit confused with the whole thing because I've

426
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:18.119
never seen him do that before. So we're outside, and

427
00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:25.559
he's we've been out every day. I took him outside,

428
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:28.480
and a lot of people don't get to go out

429
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:34.640
in the sun, you know, they're kind of stuck inside

430
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.359
the ward. And all the people in his ward are

431
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:41.880
just they haven't been able to leave for days, some

432
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:45.319
of them. One's waiting to go home, I think soon.

433
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:52.039
And he spent six days without going outside until his

434
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:58.400
daughter came and took him out. So I think it's

435
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.559
good to take him out. But then he he kind

436
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.160
of doesn't want to go out. It's almost like, let's go,

437
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.480
let's go for a little walk, go into the because

438
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:11.279
there's see it's lots of seating outside, and there's lovely days.

439
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:13.880
Been nice every day this week, even when it was

440
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:18.759
windy and cloudy, it was still nice. You know, it's

441
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:23.640
still a nice temperature. But he's got like, okay, just

442
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:26.599
just wait, it's fine. So I don't know. I don't

443
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:30.759
know if he's struggling with the with the walk and

444
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:36.759
he's just not mentioning. I don't know, really, I don't know.

445
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:41.759
I am turning into a fuss pot. Now. I was

446
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:45.000
a fuss pot with Luke and he got annoyed with me.

447
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:51.119
But I haven't needed to be a fusspot since that time.

448
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:55.799
And over the last six months I've turned into a

449
00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:59.440
bit of a fuss spot with my neighbor that's in hospital,

450
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.599
just with helping him with his bills, helping him with

451
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:06.000
his just finding out stuff that he's ignored, trying to

452
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:10.599
help him to get it sorted. But over the last

453
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:16.280
month I haven't needed to really do anything, or maybe

454
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:19.760
the last two months even because he's just been happily

455
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:23.239
doing his thing. I see him when I see him,

456
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:26.039
usually see him a couple of times a week, maybe

457
00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:29.639
three times a week. He asked me, if he needs

458
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:35.559
me to do something, I'll do it. And really the

459
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:40.000
only reason he contacted me not contacting I see him

460
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:45.559
fairly regularly, but he contacted me to because he phones

461
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:49.880
me like once twice a week even though I'm just opposite.

462
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.920
But he like if he wants to just talk about

463
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:57.159
sport or something, and that's when I don't answer the phone.

464
00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:58.400
That's terrible.

465
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:06.760
But he needed my help with some stuff regarding the

466
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:09.760
bathroom being done, so I said I was going to

467
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:11.519
help him, just that he wanted to get the flat

468
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:14.559
prepared before they builders came in and stuff like that,

469
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:18.519
and we were going to try and talk to electrician

470
00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:24.840
to try and disconnect his cooker and maybe also see

471
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:29.599
if we can get someone the plumber to connect his

472
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:33.480
washing machine. Neither of those things have happened to be

473
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:39.880
fair because it's other things have come up. But now

474
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:45.320
the last week I seemed to be I'm not I'm not,

475
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.480
I'm okay, I'm not seeming to be a fussy a

476
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:50.800
fuss pot. I have been a fusspot and I know it,

477
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:53.320
and I know it's annoying because I wouldn't like someone

478
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:58.599
doing it to me. I don't know why why I

479
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:05.719
am like that. It's almost like I'm concerned, and I

480
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:11.519
can't hide being concerned, and I can't hide caring and

481
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:14.840
wanting him to be okay and making sure that he's okay,

482
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:18.719
knowing that he wouldn't tell me if he wasn't. That's

483
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:27.639
the thing. And I think in the process of annoying, annoying,

484
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:34.000
annoying him, I did the same with my friend Luke downstairs.

485
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:35.920
I used to annoy the hell out of him sometimes.

486
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:43.280
Is so yeah, it's one of those things. I mean

487
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:45.800
when I left today, I left it too, and I

488
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.480
didn't want to go back, like ever again. I was

489
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:52.320
going to go back, but I was. I told Hi,

490
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:55.840
I'm not coming back tomorrow. So I haven't been able

491
00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:57.719
to do my shopping. I haven't really been able to

492
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.679
do much here. I need to get bit of I

493
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:03.760
made you to do some washing the other day and

494
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:13.880
some laundry. But yeah, I thought, tomorrow's Thursday, and I

495
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:19.039
can get some get a few bits done here and

496
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.519
get my just have a day off to be fair,

497
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:25.159
just have a lie in, not have to do anything.

498
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:31.239
And then my neighbor called A different neighbor called up

499
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:34.199
about an hour ago, saying, do I want to lift tomorrow?

500
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:37.679
So I asked her, I give her ten pounds to

501
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.199
take me when she can shed take me once. And

502
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:47.400
it's really she she'll offer when she's going out herself,

503
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.400
so she's not going there specifically for me, but she's

504
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:53.159
going anywhere near there to the hospital. She'll give me

505
00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:57.760
a lift. And she called me up and said, I

506
00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:00.639
can take you tomorrow morning. So I thought, well, okay,

507
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:05.480
I'll do that. And I called up my neighbor the

508
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:08.199
I'm trying not to say his name, my neighbor opposite

509
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:11.880
me who's in hospital. I called him up just to

510
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:16.599
see have you had any other you know, just like

511
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:20.119
I'll buy the one coming tomorrow, he said, really, So

512
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:23.239
he seemed like he was quite pleased that I was coming,

513
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:26.639
which is weird because he seemed really pleased that I

514
00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:32.840
was leaving today earlier. It's just weird. I think I

515
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:34.039
just annoying him, I think.

516
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:35.719
And so.

517
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:40.400
He's still got a bit of resentment, I think towards me,

518
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:42.320
because he wouldn't be in there if it wasn't for me,

519
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:50.079
and even though he needs to be in there, and

520
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.559
some people would argue the other way, but you know,

521
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:58.000
generally if he hadn't he had joined this. You know,

522
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:01.360
he needed to be in hospital. He needed treatment for jaundice.

523
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:03.480
He wouldn't have got any if he hadn't, if I

524
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:08.119
hadn't called the paramedics, even if he could get treated

525
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:13.800
at home, you know, he I'm not sure if Jordice

526
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:15.760
goes away on his own. To be fair, I don't

527
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:18.920
know enough about it, but I do know that it's

528
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:29.679
basically it's serious. So I think he holds that resentment

529
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.960
because I've this whole thing is to turn his life

530
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:39.719
upside down, not just temporarily, so he's got that. Yeah,

531
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:41.679
I think I think he'd quite like to punch me.

532
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:46.719
I think I think is that I think he's kind

533
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:53.159
of he's he's probably happy that I'm there and that

534
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:55.880
he's got a neighbor that cares and whatever. I guess.

535
00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:58.480
Partly I'm sure that I'm guessing that might be in

536
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:01.719
his mind, but there also that like part of him thinking,

537
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.760
you know, I'm not sure if he makes that sound

538
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.400
in his brain, but that as part of him. I

539
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:14.320
think that just I actually actually I've asked him it.

540
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:18.199
I'm quite blatant. I do ask people stuff I said,

541
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:21.320
like today, I said, you're angry today. You're angry with me,

542
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:26.159
aren't you? And he was just because he started talking

543
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:33.760
about politics, and I said, and he was really stuck

544
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:36.920
on this particular story. And he carried it on all

545
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:39.760
the way from when we was outside to when we

546
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:44.159
got back inside and he was eating his dinner, and

547
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:46.400
then after he's eating his dinner, he's still talking about

548
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:51.199
it to the neighbor, his neighbor and the bed next

549
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:55.000
to him. And I'm not sure if the neighbor next

550
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:57.719
to him even knew what he was talking about, because

551
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.920
he doesn't produce a subject again like me. This is

552
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:09.440
kind of if I started talking about and working in

553
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:13.840
the meter factory where we used to make meters. It's

554
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.400
a bit like that. It's like I'm talking about a

555
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:21.360
hospital and now I'm talking about making the boxes, and

556
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:23.760
you're going to think, well, am I still talking about

557
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:27.519
a hospital? Because what boxes would you make in the hospital?

558
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:35.400
And it's hard to follow sometimes, But I don't just

559
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:38.880
sit there passively and listen because it is a conversation

560
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:42.159
because as a person's there with me, and I question,

561
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.320
like what you Perhaps I shouldn't be, Perhaps I should

562
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.199
be I don't know. I just say what you're talking about, like,

563
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:53.199
not in a horrible way, but like what. I don't say,

564
00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:54.440
what are you talking about?

565
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:55.159
Now?

566
00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:57.800
What on earth are you going on about?

567
00:41:58.360 --> 00:41:58.920
Now?

568
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:05.119
I don't do that, but I do say, uh, wha,

569
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:09.119
where you want? What?

570
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:09.519
What?

571
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:10.320
Where you want?

572
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:18.880
And at one point he said, because I asked him something,

573
00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:22.119
I don't know if I was talking about the lunch

574
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.239
that he just had, and he said, he or some

575
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:28.559
question or whatever, and he said, you're trying to distract

576
00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:31.760
me from what I'm talking about. Because I've been doing

577
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:37.400
that lately. I'm quite good at distracting people to bring

578
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:41.920
them back to a different subject. Not I suppose it is.

579
00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:43.880
Maybe it's a little bit controlling. I don't mean it

580
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:49.079
in a controlling way, but it's a way. There's a

581
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:52.039
certain skill that I learned as a counselor and in

582
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:58.360
hypnosis sort of therapeutic manner is when someone goes off track,

583
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:04.039
and sometimes that can be really useful, other times not

584
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:08.719
so much so bringing it back to the reason they're there.

585
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:15.280
So if someone's coming because let's say someone's coming because

586
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:24.280
of uh yeah, maybe exam, you know, when I was

587
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:28.519
exam anxiety or something like that, and they'll be coming

588
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.199
for counseling because they were just struggling with that stuff

589
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:36.320
or something similar, I don't know, And then they'd start

590
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:45.519
be talking. They'd be talking about spaceships, and you know,

591
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:48.599
these were like, I'm talking about adult people, not like

592
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:52.119
little kids, although I did used to see I used

593
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:55.480
to counsel kids as well. But sometimes you have to

594
00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:58.519
kind of bring it back to what the focus is

595
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:03.480
because in Connsolin there is I don't know what the

596
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:09.960
correct term is, where people maybe not purposely, maybe not

597
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:18.840
like consciously move to a different subject to avoid I

598
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:21.239
guess it's avoidance, isn't I suppose that's probably the word,

599
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:23.360
isn't it. What do they what's it called when they

600
00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:24.239
avoid things?

601
00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:24.920
Oh?

602
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:31.760
Avoidance? So it is something. It's kind of something. As

603
00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:34.440
a therapist, I think it might can be useful to

604
00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:38.800
kind of bring them back to notice that, maybe to

605
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:42.280
even mention it as well. I noticed you've come here

606
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:48.800
because you had an issue with you know, when you

607
00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:52.320
had that holiday and things didn't go quite well. But

608
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:56.280
I'm wondering what that's got to do with that lego

609
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:59.760
set that you had when you were nine. It might

610
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:04.079
have something to do with it. It may well do

611
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:12.039
it might be an analogy for their experience, so you know,

612
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:16.840
it's it's I used to really, I used to Here's

613
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:18.320
what I used to do when I was a counselor.

614
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:27.400
I used to be real. I don't understand people. I

615
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:32.679
don't pretend that I understand people, so I ask. So

616
00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:35.280
the only way I can understand someone is by asking

617
00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:42.519
them questions, spending time with them, and genuinely asking them

618
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:45.679
what's going on in your mind. I can't mind read.

619
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:50.679
I don't pretend to be able to mind read. I

620
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:54.440
don't know what someone's thinking by their facial expressions. I

621
00:45:54.480 --> 00:46:01.079
can kind of guess, but I will ask, but even

622
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:03.519
then I still don't know if it's true, because people

623
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:06.639
sometimes people don't even seem to know themselves what they're

624
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:10.079
thinking or what they're feeling. So that that was the

625
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:14.559
way I kind of approached counseling. I didn't go I

626
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:17.960
had the knowledge. You know, I studied, I had a degree,

627
00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:20.599
and you know, I had a lot of background in

628
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:25.239
studying for for fun, psychology and stuff like that, and

629
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:28.960
also the hypnosis background, and a lot of that is

630
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:38.400
based in psychology and therapy. But I didn't go into

631
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:45.760
the session thinking I was an expert on the human condition.

632
00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:52.239
I never had that. I didn't even for me. It

633
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:55.679
wasn't about other people. It was just about that one person.

634
00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:02.639
It wasn't about were would the way that they were

635
00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:08.079
acting was it fitting in with a specific behavioral criteria

636
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:12.280
you know? That fits in that that's kind of explains

637
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:15.559
the actions, like, Okay, they're doing this, doing that, doing that.

638
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:18.840
Therefore they are this because other people that do that,

639
00:47:18.840 --> 00:47:22.599
that that that are this. I just take them as

640
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:25.880
they were. I wasn't there to diagnose. I'm not a doctor,

641
00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:34.159
not yet anyway. Oh anyway, but my how was a

642
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:37.159
distraction itself was that I'm talking about distractions and then

643
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:47.239
I avoidance. I so my neighbor in the hospital, he said,

644
00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:50.760
are you trying to distract me from talking about that thing?

645
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.119
But it already he told a story three times so

646
00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:58.639
at this point kind of to three different people, and

647
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:03.119
I'll say, no, I'm just trying to get you to

648
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:13.119
focus on now and how you are, which is the

649
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:18.039
reason I'm visiting you. And that didn't go down very well.

650
00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:21.559
I mean, perhaps that wasn't I didn't mean it harshly.

651
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:24.880
I just it's the truth. I'm visited him. I'm visiting

652
00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:28.760
him because of I want to know how he is.

653
00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:33.679
I want to know what he's feeling. And technically it's

654
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:35.880
none of my business how he is or how he's feeling,

655
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:39.760
so I can see that side as well. But earlier

656
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:43.480
in the week he was opening up and he's sort

657
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:47.360
of closed down again. This is weird. I don't know.

658
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:55.119
I just I mean, my counseling skills are probably pretty

659
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:59.440
much disappeared because I haven't been a counselor for a

660
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:07.199
long time. But I can listen if someone's talking about

661
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:15.159
something real. I really I find it. See I don't

662
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:23.800
get bored with real stuff, like a real conversation about

663
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:26.159
real things, you know, feelings and how do I feel

664
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:33.840
about this? And opinions? Less interested in that because he

665
00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:37.039
did say something about, oh do you do you feel

666
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:39.199
educated now? Because he was talking about politics, I said,

667
00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:41.519
what do you mean? So you look you learned something new,

668
00:49:41.519 --> 00:49:44.760
haven't you. I said, well, I've learned what your opinion

669
00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:49.639
is on that subject. That's probably nothing that annoyed him. Actually,

670
00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:55.000
I said, it's just opinions. It's not a fact. These

671
00:49:55.039 --> 00:49:58.360
aren't facts, it's just what you believe. You you're on

672
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:01.880
one side of the fence. You believe this about your

673
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:11.519
political party, and and it's really just that's an opinion.

674
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.559
And because he's got a degree in politics, he's like, no,

675
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:17.400
it's not an agreement. It's not just an opinion.

676
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:17.840
It's true.

677
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:21.599
And he's saying, I can teach you, I can teach

678
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:26.920
you about politics. I said, well, I've got my own interests. Besides,

679
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:29.679
I do know a little bit about politics. I do

680
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:34.000
you know, I've not been I'm not completely oblivious to

681
00:50:34.519 --> 00:50:38.400
what's going on in politics. I go through peers when

682
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:42.719
I'm really interested in it, and then i'm not. But

683
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:52.639
he we were talking about how one one political party

684
00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:57.079
always goes on about the other political party and what

685
00:50:57.119 --> 00:50:59.840
they did last time there was in power, and however

686
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.639
it's their their fault that the place is like it

687
00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:06.760
is now. And I just said to him, that's human.

688
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:12.280
That the tapping into the human nature. It's human nature

689
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:17.480
to blame others, to want to blame other people. It's

690
00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:21.280
just a natural human instinct. So the politicians are just

691
00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:27.199
tapping into that. It's I mean, I don't know if

692
00:51:27.239 --> 00:51:32.079
it's a natural human instinct all around the world, but

693
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:34.400
I'm pretty safe to say, I feel safe to say

694
00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:39.559
it's a national and it's a national pastimes. It seems

695
00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:43.360
to be a natural instinct in this country too. I'm

696
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:45.119
not saying everyone does it and everyone does it all

697
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:50.079
the time, but in a kind of majority way, it

698
00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:53.079
seems to be. I love blaming other people. I try

699
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:57.360
not to, but it's just or blaming the weather, or

700
00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:03.119
blaming the blaming as she seems to be almost like

701
00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:10.880
inherited when you're born in this country. I mean, it

702
00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:13.639
might be. I'm guessing it's not an English thing. I'm

703
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:20.079
pretty sure it's a worldwide thing. Anyway. I annoyed him,

704
00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:22.800
That's what I was just trying to say, and Zoe

705
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:32.679
called me, so I got no idea what I was

706
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:34.599
really saying there, to be honest.

707
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:45.960
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

708
00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:49.639
So I saw just now before I started doing this,

709
00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:52.599
I had to go around. I saw my neighbor to

710
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:56.159
discuss her give me a lift, and then I saw

711
00:52:56.320 --> 00:53:04.559
Archie's mum and I haven't seen her all week. I

712
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:07.920
told her about the situation and she offered four Vinnie

713
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:11.360
to stay there tomorrow because she's got a day off.

714
00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:15.880
So she said they could. Archie could be where because

715
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:19.360
there's two dogs. There's Archie and another dog that's there,

716
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:24.559
and Vinnie like he likes both of them. He loves Archie.

717
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:27.360
But they've got a garden, or she's got a garden.

718
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:29.920
So she said that you can figu him around and

719
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:33.159
he can stay here. So what I did is, I said, well,

720
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:37.599
I'll like brilliant so instead of him being on his own,

721
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:40.840
so I'm going to take him around at ten o'clock

722
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:45.639
tomorrow and she lives up the opposite the person that's

723
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:49.599
going to give me a lift, and then I'll try

724
00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:51.880
and get back, I think, and get back by two,

725
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:54.519
so I won't be able to spend a huge amount

726
00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:59.000
of time at the hospital because hopefully i'll get there

727
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:01.800
by eleven and I might have to leave at one.

728
00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:04.679
But it's still two hours better than no hours, isn't it.

729
00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:13.159
But it's still has like four hours of the neighbor

730
00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:17.079
looking after him after looking after Vinnie, and he's never

731
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:19.880
been to her house. So what I'm going to do,

732
00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:22.360
I'm going to give her my key to my flat

733
00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:26.159
and she knows where I live, so I'll just say

734
00:54:26.199 --> 00:54:31.920
that if he's being an absolute I don't know, if

735
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:36.039
he's been really really naughty, then You're welcome just to

736
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:39.559
bring him back and just stick him in the flat.

737
00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:46.800
You know, that's fine, because who knows. He's never ever, never, ever,

738
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:52.159
ever ever ever since I've had him, since i've had him,

739
00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:58.079
he's never stayed around a stranger's house before. I mean,

740
00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:01.800
this person's not a stranger and his so I've seen

741
00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:04.679
her for the last two two and a half years

742
00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:11.480
walking Vinnie so, but he's never he's never been. There's

743
00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:15.159
a video of him and Archie on YouTube, but they've

744
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:21.760
never Actually, he's never stayed over and he's never really

745
00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:26.559
he's not stayed with anyone other than his former mum

746
00:55:26.760 --> 00:55:28.719
like that he used to live with. He stayed with

747
00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:33.599
her a few times. So this is different. So I

748
00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:35.400
don't know how. I don't know if he's going to

749
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:38.079
behave I don't if he's going to be a good boy.

750
00:55:38.159 --> 00:55:42.320
I hope he will be. I think he'll love it personally.

751
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:47.239
I think he'll absolutely love it. Because but then there's

752
00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:51.440
one thing walking and playing around and stuff with Archie.

753
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:56.000
But there's another thing. Will he try and take control

754
00:55:56.079 --> 00:55:58.039
of being in the garden? Will he be naughty? Will

755
00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:01.079
he try and escape from the garden. That's the thing.

756
00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:03.119
And if he does, I'm not going to be around

757
00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:08.199
to look for him. I just I hope, I hope, hope,

758
00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:14.360
hope that he behaves. But you know what this is more,

759
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:18.320
this is going to be good for him because he

760
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:22.280
hasn't had a chance to run around with any dogs

761
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:30.199
off the lead for or since September really and now June.

762
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:35.119
So and they've got a big garden so for him

763
00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:37.920
to run around. Actually that's not true. He did run

764
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:41.440
around another neighbor's house who's got a dog, but that

765
00:56:41.559 --> 00:56:44.760
was a few Sundays ago. That was very brief though,

766
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:48.639
and he did run out of the front door, so

767
00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:51.960
that wasn't so good. So I'll make sure. I'll just

768
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:53.800
let her know don't open the front door because he

769
00:56:53.840 --> 00:57:00.760
will try and escape. He's so naughty, and because he

770
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:02.840
knows where we are, he might try and run home

771
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:07.400
thinking I'm there, although I don't think he really, I

772
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:12.400
don't think he would, but I kind of think of

773
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:16.800
it the if you toss it up in a sense

774
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:22.159
of if I take him to the guard, I'll take

775
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:27.639
him thet neighbors to play in the garden. It's like

776
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:32.440
a ninety nine percent positive thing, possibly one hundred percent

777
00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:35.519
positive thing because he's getting to do what he wants

778
00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:38.119
to do, which is running around with his friend, his

779
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:43.039
best friend, Archie and Noodles. They're his two best friends,

780
00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:46.119
and he can't run around with either of them anymore

781
00:57:47.599 --> 00:57:50.960
off the lead. Noodles is the dog that he got

782
00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:54.639
into trouble with at the same time, and they're very

783
00:57:54.719 --> 00:57:57.039
naughty when they get together. They kind of lead each

784
00:57:57.079 --> 00:58:05.320
other astray a little bit, Archie less so, but still

785
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:09.360
I've seen there's been a few dogs that if they

786
00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:12.000
run out of the out of the park venue, will

787
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:17.440
just follow. So there's that thing, you know, It's happened

788
00:58:17.480 --> 00:58:19.920
a few times over the years. I should have learned

789
00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:25.039
from it, really, but I just I so wanted him

790
00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:30.119
to be able to have that freedom, and he's so happy.

791
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:33.960
I can see how happy he is when he's running

792
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.800
around with his doggie friends. And he's got a few

793
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:41.480
dog friends that he really likes. But I think Archie

794
00:58:41.800 --> 00:58:43.880
and Noodles there like at the top of the pack

795
00:58:44.639 --> 00:58:50.079
of because they're both little and they're both kind of

796
00:58:50.159 --> 00:58:54.039
all both got the same kind of energy as him,

797
00:58:54.079 --> 00:58:57.639
and about the same same age really as well, so yeah,

798
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:01.239
they kind of, yeah, they've got a definite body like

799
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:05.199
instant bond they had. And they've known each other for

800
00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:09.880
what a couple of years. I don't know how Yeah,

801
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:12.920
probably a couple of years. Both of them actually noodles

802
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:16.480
an Archie. I think Archie was first. I tell you

803
00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:20.920
something about Archie. This is weird. Archie's a proper fascist. No,

804
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:26.239
he's not Archie. He's got questionable political No, I do

805
00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:35.719
what I'm saying. It doesn't click stamps either. Archie I

806
00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:38.400
used to see so I'd see Archie in the evening,

807
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:42.360
like six I don't wait a time that his mom

808
00:59:42.360 --> 00:59:46.360
would be walking in with the two dogs. And once

809
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:49.679
I said to this lady, the one the neighbor, I said,

810
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:53.360
you know what, he's got another friend who looks just

811
00:59:53.440 --> 01:00:00.239
like Archie. And they they don't run around, but because

812
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:02.599
he was always on the lead, but we see him

813
01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:06.639
during the day. This is this, This is form about

814
01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:08.599
a year and I was saying to her, I know,

815
01:00:08.679 --> 01:00:14.400
he's got another friend. And after I don't know if

816
01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:17.239
it's a year, maybe nearly a year, it turned out

817
01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:25.400
as the same dog. And it was different because it

818
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:28.719
was her mum was taking the dog out or taking

819
01:00:28.840 --> 01:00:31.679
Archie out during the day and I said to her,

820
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:34.360
and we were talking, I said, you know what, he's

821
01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:37.760
got a friend just like that one. Because I didn't

822
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:39.639
see her that often. I saw the other one in

823
01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:42.280
the evenings fairly regular the one during the day I

824
01:00:42.280 --> 01:00:48.639
didn't see very often. And she said, this is Archie.

825
01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:52.360
I said, I can't believe you've got two dogs with

826
01:00:52.480 --> 01:01:02.599
the same name, the same kind of dogs. And she said, oh, okay,

827
01:01:03.559 --> 01:01:05.880
and then I said goodbye to her. Then I said

828
01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:08.760
the same thing to the lady in the evening. I said,

829
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:10.000
there's another woman.

830
01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:10.199
You know.

831
01:01:10.199 --> 01:01:12.039
I told you that the woman has got a dog

832
01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:17.559
that's just like Archie. His name's also Archie. And she

833
01:01:17.679 --> 01:01:21.079
looked at me. I think she must have thought I

834
01:01:21.199 --> 01:01:23.079
was a bit dim.

835
01:01:25.480 --> 01:01:26.280
Or I was like.

836
01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:32.440
Joking around or something. She said, really, I said, yeah,

837
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:36.159
it's the same. She still mentions it now, like, how

838
01:01:36.199 --> 01:01:37.840
can you not know that there was the same dog

839
01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:41.920
for a year. Vinnie was playing the same dog, the

840
01:01:41.960 --> 01:01:45.000
same name for a year. Two different dogs, but it's

841
01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:49.760
one dog. I don't know. There's so many names, I

842
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:54.639
don't keep track, but it's only Archie in the arch

843
01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:57.320
the evening Archie. I know both of them were Archie,

844
01:01:57.320 --> 01:02:00.159
but the afternoon. Archie never used to run around with

845
01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:03.480
any it's always on the lead. But even in Archie

846
01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:08.079
used to run around, so I kind of learned his

847
01:02:08.199 --> 01:02:24.360
name a bit. It's weird, right, Yeah. I am going

848
01:02:24.440 --> 01:02:28.199
to do a Q and A Friday this week. Now,

849
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:33.079
whether I do it Friday or I do it Saturday, oh,

850
01:02:33.639 --> 01:02:38.440
I know, I'm definitely not going to. I'm not going to.

851
01:02:38.719 --> 01:02:42.079
I'm not going to the hospital on Sunday because the

852
01:02:42.119 --> 01:02:46.360
buses are just ridiculous. They're like every two hours if

853
01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:49.960
at all. So I'm not I'm not traveling on Sunday,

854
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:54.519
so I won't be going there on a Sunday. I'm

855
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:59.840
there tomorrow. What I might do is maybe take Friday

856
01:02:59.920 --> 01:03:02.920
or off, or go Friday and have the weekend off.

857
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:07.639
And if his other friend, because he's got someone else

858
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:11.199
visiting him now, is going to go and see him

859
01:03:11.199 --> 01:03:13.079
at the weekend, and that can kind of do that.

860
01:03:13.639 --> 01:03:17.840
I do really don't know. I'll play it by I'll

861
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:19.920
play it by ear or by eye or buy foot

862
01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:24.679
or whatever. I'll just see what happens, you know. But

863
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:26.760
I'm going to do a Q and A Friday this week.

864
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:39.119
Oh wow, So I did post a recording two days ago. Hi,

865
01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:40.840
or I might not be able to make a recording

866
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:43.119
this week because I'm back and forward to a hospital.

867
01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:46.719
So I posted that I have had some comments, but

868
01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:49.679
I didn't have time to really reply to them. So

869
01:03:49.719 --> 01:03:51.599
I'm going to reply to them now. I'm going to

870
01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:56.039
read them out, and I'm going to reply to them now. Unfortunately,

871
01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:57.960
some people listen to this and might have just fallen

872
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:00.239
asleep through boredom, which is a bit of a food

873
01:04:01.280 --> 01:04:05.519
But hey, Christine writes, I hope you and your neighbor

874
01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:08.440
feel a bit better soon. We'll all be here when

875
01:04:08.519 --> 01:04:11.480
you feel well enough. Take care and thank you for

876
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:16.599
taking the time to let us know. So thank you, Christine.

877
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:25.199
And I didn't after the Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. By

878
01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:28.679
the end of Monday, I really just I didn't think

879
01:04:28.719 --> 01:04:33.119
I could be making any recordings. But then yesterday, for

880
01:04:33.199 --> 01:04:38.880
some reason, I just felt okay to do one. So

881
01:04:38.920 --> 01:04:44.960
I'm just gonna Oh, it really is time to go

882
01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:48.599
to sleep soon. I don't know what time it is.

883
01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:54.360
It's probably about seven o'clock, Okay, it's twenty to eight.

884
01:04:56.360 --> 01:04:59.800
Hope wrote take care of you. I hope your neahbor

885
01:04:59.840 --> 01:05:02.800
get better. Soon. Thank you, Thank you, Hope. So I

886
01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:07.079
put a love heart there as well. Just so, why

887
01:05:07.159 --> 01:05:10.400
does it not allow me to look up the that's weird?

888
01:05:10.920 --> 01:05:17.400
There it's go. Maria writes, take care of yourself, Jason.

889
01:05:18.480 --> 01:05:21.400
I hope your neighbor makes a full recovery soon. Thanks

890
01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:28.920
for letting us know. Thank you, Maria. Why is this

891
01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:29.639
not working?

892
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:30.320
Okay?

893
01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:34.159
There we go? I just wanted to know that I

894
01:05:34.159 --> 01:05:39.800
haven't read your messages. I just haven't. I was reading

895
01:05:39.800 --> 01:05:46.239
them in the hospital actually, and Tammy writes, we so

896
01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:46.800
well for me?

897
01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:53.800
What does that say?

898
01:05:54.239 --> 01:05:55.159
We so well for me?

899
01:05:56.199 --> 01:05:56.639
Email?

900
01:05:56.840 --> 01:06:09.239
Going out for health and safety? Okay, I'm not sure

901
01:06:09.239 --> 01:06:11.719
what that means. I'm I'm I think my brain's going

902
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:15.199
a little bit slow today. Sorry, but thanks your message.

903
01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:15.480
I'm not.

904
01:06:18.519 --> 01:06:24.960
N knee mail going out for health and safety. That

905
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:28.239
probably makes sense, but it's not my brain. Honestly. I'm

906
01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:37.840
just I'm not on full full capacity at the moment. Ah.

907
01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:40.480
But saying that, I'm not sure if I've ever been

908
01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:46.639
on full capacity. Jackie writes, yeah, I can imagine neckering indeed,

909
01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:51.440
But you know something you have to do. Good on

910
01:06:51.519 --> 01:06:54.440
your mate, don't stress in your own time. Best wishes

911
01:06:54.440 --> 01:07:05.639
to your neighbor. Thank you, Jackie. Yeah, yeah, it's been

912
01:07:05.639 --> 01:07:08.079
an accurate it. I think part of it is because

913
01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:13.079
I'm just not used to being around people, and I'm

914
01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:16.480
seeing more people in a day now than I would

915
01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:25.280
do for a whole year, way more. Yeah, yeah, more

916
01:07:25.320 --> 01:07:28.079
than I would do in a whole year, because there's

917
01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:32.280
literally thousands upon thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people

918
01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:37.480
that I'm seeing outside the hospital, inside the hospital, walking

919
01:07:37.519 --> 01:07:41.800
through the wards. It's just thousands of people. So it's

920
01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:47.159
a little bit overload, I think, which is okay, I

921
01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:50.159
know what it is. Yeah, it's all right, It's just

922
01:07:50.760 --> 01:07:55.039
it is what it is. Ing says specialis switches to

923
01:07:55.079 --> 01:07:57.320
your neighbor, take care of yourself and take a break

924
01:07:57.559 --> 01:08:03.400
for as long as you need to. Thank you. It's

925
01:08:03.559 --> 01:08:07.079
one of those situations. I'm going to while he's in there.

926
01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:09.519
I can't. I'm going to make recordings when I can,

927
01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:13.719
and I'm not going to push myself to do anything really,

928
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:15.760
but it's just going to I do them when I

929
01:08:15.800 --> 01:08:19.239
feel up to it. And it's just tiredness, that's all

930
01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:23.960
it is. Really. It's not anything else. Maybe a little

931
01:08:23.960 --> 01:08:27.319
bit more, but you know, it's just mainly tiredness. So

932
01:08:29.760 --> 01:08:39.039
I it's just it's disrupted my routine, but you know what,

933
01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:48.760
it's disrupted his routine as well, and so my routine

934
01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:51.760
is not really that important right now. So it's okay,

935
01:08:53.039 --> 01:08:55.880
as long as I don't want to go like long

936
01:08:55.960 --> 01:09:01.239
periods of time without making a recording, because as it is,

937
01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:04.520
if I go, well, i'll tell you actually, I'll come

938
01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:08.960
back to this in a minute. Here's here's how the

939
01:09:09.000 --> 01:09:19.960
stats go. Okay, so what is it now? It's Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday, Saturday, Friday. Okay,

940
01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:27.920
So Thursday two one hundred and thirty six two, one

941
01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:36.239
hundred and fifty three downloads, Saturday Friday one thousand, seven

942
01:09:36.319 --> 01:09:45.079
hundred and ninety five downloads, Friday seven hundred and four downloads,

943
01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:51.239
Saturday five hundred and forty, five hundred and forty one downloads,

944
01:09:52.199 --> 01:09:58.840
Sunday three hundred and fifty downloads. That's not right, Wednesday.

945
01:09:59.479 --> 01:10:02.079
So I've got five hundred and fifty today so far,

946
01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:06.920
but two hundred and twenty seven yesterday. Two hundred and

947
01:10:06.960 --> 01:10:13.000
twenty seven is the amount I'd be getting. I mean,

948
01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:17.159
that would be bad ten years ago. In a day,

949
01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:18.880
two hundred and two as like one of the worst

950
01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:22.279
days I could ever have because I've not been making

951
01:10:22.359 --> 01:10:31.199
new recordings. So Tuesday Monday three hundred and fifty listens.

952
01:10:31.279 --> 01:10:35.560
These downloads are listens, so three hundred is ridiculously low,

953
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:43.119
really low. So Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday five hundred and

954
01:10:43.119 --> 01:10:51.720
forty one, Saturday seven hundred and four. It's just gone down.

955
01:10:52.319 --> 01:10:54.680
I mean today, I did do a recording this morning

956
01:10:54.880 --> 01:11:00.000
or last night. I uploaded it this morning, so it's

957
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:06.159
a rise, but it's still a small amount, which is

958
01:11:06.279 --> 01:11:10.439
kind of weird, how I mean, yeah, I was making

959
01:11:10.800 --> 01:11:15.720
like two plus recordings a day last week or the

960
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:21.039
week before, I can't remember. But the weird thing about

961
01:11:21.039 --> 01:11:28.560
it is, I it's a little bit like sales you

962
01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:32.960
run as good as your last sale, or in sports,

963
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:35.239
you run as good as your last football game, or

964
01:11:35.239 --> 01:11:37.680
you are you know, it's only only as good as

965
01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:42.640
your last performance, which is come on, which is seems

966
01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:52.119
a bit harsh. But it seems that we're podcasting. As

967
01:11:52.159 --> 01:11:56.439
soon as I stopped making recordings, people stopped listening, not

968
01:11:56.439 --> 01:12:02.760
not completely, but I I don't like seeing, you know,

969
01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:09.600
like yesterday two hundred and twenty seven downloads so that's

970
01:12:09.600 --> 01:12:14.359
two hundred and twenty seven plays. Admittedly a lot of

971
01:12:14.399 --> 01:12:17.680
those would be ten hour recordings, so that's just one person.

972
01:12:18.159 --> 01:12:23.800
They're not like listening to multiple recordings, and hopefully a

973
01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:28.479
couple of people have found it useful. But to go

974
01:12:28.560 --> 01:12:33.399
from two thousand plus down to two hundred and twenty seven,

975
01:12:33.439 --> 01:12:37.800
it's a bit of a I mean, if the weird

976
01:12:37.800 --> 01:12:40.039
thing is I've only just looked at the stats. Now,

977
01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:42.000
I didn't look at this. I've not looked at the

978
01:12:42.039 --> 01:12:49.479
stats for probably a few days. I've not really taken

979
01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:51.279
much notice of the stats because I knew it was

980
01:12:51.279 --> 01:12:55.039
going to go down, because it always does. It's weird though,

981
01:12:55.039 --> 01:12:58.720
because sometimes then it just shoots up and I get

982
01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:04.239
like three four thousand in a day. Is strange the

983
01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:09.000
way it goes. But I know this. That's part of

984
01:13:09.039 --> 01:13:11.680
the reason why I don't go too many days without

985
01:13:11.720 --> 01:13:16.680
making a recording, because it's almost like people just forget

986
01:13:16.680 --> 01:13:27.439
about me or forget about the podcast rather start crying.

987
01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:34.199
Don't make me cry. You wouldn't like me want to cry. Yeah, So,

988
01:13:37.640 --> 01:13:39.439
I mean it's still well, it's near the end of

989
01:13:39.479 --> 01:13:42.399
the day, really, isn't It's ten to eight, nine, ten

990
01:13:42.439 --> 01:13:45.880
eleven twelve. Well, it's it's five hours left of the

991
01:13:45.920 --> 01:13:48.079
stats because it goes to one o'clock in the morning

992
01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:52.800
for some reason. So you know, I'll probably end up

993
01:13:52.840 --> 01:13:58.840
with maybe seven hundred eight hundred. It's still just such

994
01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:02.439
a small amount when you think about it, when you

995
01:14:02.479 --> 01:14:08.479
think compared comparisons aren't always use so are they in

996
01:14:08.920 --> 01:14:18.279
two thousand and twenty one, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,

997
01:14:19.319 --> 01:14:28.239
twenty twenty one. Yeah, it was twenty twenty one. I

998
01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:30.680
think I had one month, Well, it might have been

999
01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:36.239
twenty twenty. Maybe it was December. I had over nine

1000
01:14:36.399 --> 01:14:45.279
hundred thousand views in one month, just under Yeah, it's

1001
01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:47.840
just under a million. Let me see if I can

1002
01:14:47.880 --> 01:14:50.880
find it. Seriously, you think I'm lying.

1003
01:14:50.920 --> 01:14:51.640
I'm not lying.

1004
01:14:52.000 --> 01:14:54.359
I'm not. I'm not. I can find it for you.

1005
01:14:55.279 --> 01:14:57.479
Let me have a look. So let's go for the

1006
01:14:57.560 --> 01:15:01.640
dates I was five year years ago. Isn't it? Oh no,

1007
01:15:02.239 --> 01:15:07.560
it won't allow it. It will not allow it.

1008
01:15:07.560 --> 01:15:11.279
It won't allow it. Why won't allow it? Damn?

1009
01:15:12.880 --> 01:15:17.319
Okay, let me see if I can find it a

1010
01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:21.600
different way. There's always different ways of finding stuff.

1011
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:34.119
No, how annoying, you're annoying I wonder.

1012
01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:44.720
If there's stat's for that. If I go back, Okay,

1013
01:15:44.760 --> 01:15:46.000
there's another way of doing it.

1014
01:15:46.119 --> 01:15:47.159
Let me look.

1015
01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:58.960
December twenty twenty, DoD DoD do December two than oh no,

1016
01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:11.520
wait a minute, December twenty twenty to December twenty twenty. Right,

1017
01:16:11.840 --> 01:16:16.199
this doesn't seem to be working very well. December sort

1018
01:16:16.199 --> 01:16:28.039
of go that there. December twoy twenty Okay, December twenty twenty.

1019
01:16:28.359 --> 01:16:39.720
So no, that was not the month. But it was

1020
01:16:39.760 --> 01:16:43.439
a very very busy month, it really was. But it

1021
01:16:43.520 --> 01:16:47.800
was not the month at all that I'm thinking about.

1022
01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:52.720
So maybe it's January twenty twenty one. Might have been

1023
01:16:54.520 --> 01:17:00.880
January twenty twenty one. No, maybe it's two twenty two.

1024
01:17:03.359 --> 01:17:07.520
Maybe it's December twenty twenty two. Maybe I'm just completely

1025
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:11.840
getting it all wrong. Maybe it's two did I say

1026
01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:17.560
to Maybe it's two thousand and twenty one December? Yeah,

1027
01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:21.880
that must be the one that makes more sense. Actually,

1028
01:17:22.920 --> 01:17:28.079
for some reason, that's the one. Wow, that was the

1029
01:17:28.119 --> 01:17:34.600
biggest month I ever had, and I had just under

1030
01:17:37.079 --> 01:17:39.760
I've not got the exact number because it won't give

1031
01:17:39.800 --> 01:17:49.359
it to me. Twelfth of December was the biggest day.

1032
01:17:51.840 --> 01:17:52.279
I had.

1033
01:17:52.319 --> 01:17:58.359
I had something like seventy over seventy thousand listens or

1034
01:17:58.399 --> 01:18:02.600
downloads on that day, and overall I had nearly a

1035
01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:13.800
million downloads for the whole month of December twoenty twenty one,

1036
01:18:14.560 --> 01:18:21.840
and then it changed. It went a little bit. Yeah,

1037
01:18:21.880 --> 01:18:25.279
it kind of it's not that the bubble, the bubble

1038
01:18:25.279 --> 01:18:34.560
didn't burst, but the downloads pretty much half. I think

1039
01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:38.079
the most I got was about thirty maybe thirty five

1040
01:18:38.159 --> 01:18:41.800
thousand in one day, and again that was was that

1041
01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:45.600
on the twelfth, that was the tenth, don't know what

1042
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:49.439
it is about the tenth and the twelfth, so that

1043
01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:56.159
went down to like half, and then the February twenty

1044
01:18:56.199 --> 01:19:05.560
twenty two, again it's starting to go down. I had

1045
01:19:05.560 --> 01:19:09.800
a couple of days that were above about forty thousand,

1046
01:19:10.239 --> 01:19:13.600
but it's a lot less. It was looking roughly about

1047
01:19:13.640 --> 01:19:25.199
six hundred thousand on that month, and then March it's

1048
01:19:25.279 --> 01:19:33.560
going down, so looking at like twenty seven thousand a day,

1049
01:19:34.439 --> 01:19:41.279
twenty thousand, seventeen thousand, things like that. So I ended

1050
01:19:41.359 --> 01:19:47.680
up probably getting probably about it's hard to work out,

1051
01:19:47.720 --> 01:19:53.000
maybe four hundred thousand for the month. And then April

1052
01:19:53.039 --> 01:20:04.840
twenty twenty two, it was, yeah, went down even further then,

1053
01:20:05.119 --> 01:20:08.680
so I was roughly probably getting about fifteen thousand a

1054
01:20:08.760 --> 01:20:16.279
month a day rather fourteen thousand, eleven twelve, you know, varying,

1055
01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:20.079
so looking probably about three hundred, between two hundred and

1056
01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:25.039
fifty and three hundred thousand for the month. Then May

1057
01:20:25.640 --> 01:20:28.640
twenty twenty two, it just shows you how different it

1058
01:20:28.680 --> 01:20:34.079
is now, you know, it's and it goes down again.

1059
01:20:34.439 --> 01:20:40.319
I'm getting Yeah, it's not too bad, So roughly eleven

1060
01:20:40.920 --> 01:20:45.319
twelve A few days which were so probably about twelve thousand,

1061
01:20:46.079 --> 01:20:51.079
ten to twelve thousand a month a day rather, so

1062
01:20:51.159 --> 01:20:54.439
for a while, ten thousand was kind of the optimum

1063
01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:57.800
amount that I would get in a day. I kind

1064
01:20:57.800 --> 01:21:00.319
of got used to it. This is before I lost

1065
01:21:00.319 --> 01:21:03.560
my podcast, by the way, because they had music and

1066
01:21:03.600 --> 01:21:07.960
they took them off. I actually lost the podcast. I

1067
01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:15.560
had to start again. And then we've got June twenty

1068
01:21:15.640 --> 01:21:21.439
twenty two. It's a lot less, about about two hundred thousand,

1069
01:21:21.640 --> 01:21:24.640
maybe a lot less than that. So I'm getting probably

1070
01:21:24.720 --> 01:21:28.880
roughly about seven seven thousand a day, sometimes a little

1071
01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:35.039
bit more, but it's still, you know, still a nice amount.

1072
01:21:38.479 --> 01:21:43.600
And then July twenty twenty four, for some reason, the

1073
01:21:43.680 --> 01:21:48.880
summer is quieter than the winter with podcasting for me anyway,

1074
01:21:50.279 --> 01:21:53.239
and probably because there's more to do. You know, it's lighter,

1075
01:21:53.319 --> 01:21:57.880
it's more more daylight, more things to do than when

1076
01:21:57.920 --> 01:22:03.560
it's this rain. And you know, maybe maybe I don't know,

1077
01:22:04.640 --> 01:22:07.239
I had some this was an okay mark. So I

1078
01:22:07.279 --> 01:22:14.239
probably had about two hundred thousand possibly and a few

1079
01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:18.319
really good days where I had like maybe thirteen to

1080
01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:22.600
fifteen thousand a day, but a few other days where

1081
01:22:22.640 --> 01:22:26.119
I was getting maybe four thousand. So back then four

1082
01:22:26.159 --> 01:22:29.960
thousands and four thousand was a really bad day. It

1083
01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:35.159
was a really low day. Anything pretty much below three

1084
01:22:35.279 --> 01:22:39.560
thousand was really I suppose really anything below five thousand

1085
01:22:39.800 --> 01:22:45.760
was class is quite a bad day. Really back then.

1086
01:22:47.279 --> 01:22:52.159
Then you got August twenty twenty two that was starting

1087
01:22:52.199 --> 01:22:56.840
to get busier again, which is weird. So we're looking

1088
01:22:56.880 --> 01:23:01.239
probably about three hundred thousand a few days when it

1089
01:23:01.359 --> 01:23:07.600
was less than four thousand. But yeah, it's hard to

1090
01:23:07.880 --> 01:23:11.920
it might it might be less than three hundred thousand. Again,

1091
01:23:12.039 --> 01:23:14.920
I'm just guessing. I'm looking at the stats, but it's

1092
01:23:15.000 --> 01:23:18.760
it's quite difficult from what I'm looking at. But it's

1093
01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:24.960
it's like a guess. Really, an educated guess. Then the

1094
01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:27.479
next month I can just see like from a pie chart,

1095
01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:30.640
if that makes sense. So it's a lot less again

1096
01:23:31.800 --> 01:23:39.640
in September twenty twenty two, and yeah, so it builds

1097
01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:42.760
up near the end of the month, and then at

1098
01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:47.199
some point, I don't know if it's October, things go

1099
01:23:49.479 --> 01:23:57.439
poopool oh not yet, so October it's still okay, but

1100
01:23:58.000 --> 01:24:01.239
all no, So October that's when it went. Yeah, when

1101
01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:03.880
it went kind of wrong and I had to start,

1102
01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:09.159
I think over again. And because I was uploading so

1103
01:24:09.359 --> 01:24:12.520
much stuff, I was getting a lot of downloads, because

1104
01:24:12.520 --> 01:24:21.119
I was uploading the whole lot again. But yeah, it

1105
01:24:21.159 --> 01:24:25.079
wasn't I was probat of getting one hundred thousand probably

1106
01:24:25.079 --> 01:24:33.359
in that month. And then November twoy twenty two sort

1107
01:24:33.399 --> 01:24:34.520
of grew a little bit more.

1108
01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:34.880
So.

1109
01:24:35.039 --> 01:24:38.199
The winter is always a bit busier. I mean, even

1110
01:24:39.159 --> 01:24:46.680
if I look at this stats from last year, the

1111
01:24:47.840 --> 01:24:53.399
I'm pretty sure like December November, December kind of time

1112
01:24:53.560 --> 01:24:57.840
is generally a lot busier. So if I go November

1113
01:24:57.960 --> 01:25:08.199
last year, no, November last year, no, not particularly. But

1114
01:25:08.600 --> 01:25:10.720
actually the reason for that is because I was using

1115
01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:15.119
SoundCloud for half the month, but the days when I

1116
01:25:15.279 --> 01:25:20.279
was on using Speaker. I was getting pretty good days

1117
01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:36.000
December December, right, only one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

1118
01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:39.920
Only twelve days of December did I have my podcast

1119
01:25:40.039 --> 01:25:42.960
on here. But at the same time, the rest of

1120
01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:46.159
the month I had on SoundCloud. So that's not a

1121
01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:49.000
good example of a day. I wonder why that was.

1122
01:25:50.199 --> 01:25:52.039
Is that when they said we could have music again.

1123
01:25:52.199 --> 01:25:58.319
Was that another one of those situations, because yeah, I've

1124
01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:06.399
had a few problems with that jarnyery this year. Yeah,

1125
01:26:06.399 --> 01:26:09.720
that was a bit better. It's weird. It's up and down.

1126
01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:12.640
To be fair, it's up and down. I think the

1127
01:26:13.640 --> 01:26:19.279
inconsistency when it came to losing the podcasts and maybe

1128
01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:21.000
some of the things that I do, you know, putting

1129
01:26:21.000 --> 01:26:25.199
it onto SoundCloud. Then it's back on to Speaker. Although

1130
01:26:25.239 --> 01:26:28.960
it doesn't really make a huge difference to the podcast

1131
01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:34.479
because it's still available on the same places. It's probably

1132
01:26:34.800 --> 01:26:39.800
a little bit yeah, you know, maybe it doesn't. It's

1133
01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:45.680
not good. Hope, right, I hope your neighbors. How is

1134
01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:48.439
your neighbor doing? So I'm just going to put Love

1135
01:26:48.680 --> 01:26:52.720
because I've talked about it in this podcast. So Rick

1136
01:26:53.399 --> 01:26:55.319
says said in Love and good vibes to your neighbor.

1137
01:26:55.720 --> 01:27:00.159
How nice of you to support her. Just let it

1138
01:27:00.159 --> 01:27:03.079
it's a man. I've not mentioned who it is. It's

1139
01:27:03.119 --> 01:27:07.000
a man. It doesn't make any difference, a man or woman.

1140
01:27:07.119 --> 01:27:10.359
I call him her he It makes no difference to me.

1141
01:27:11.399 --> 01:27:16.279
And just let you know. So it's he's a seventy

1142
01:27:16.359 --> 01:27:31.119
eight in about what's it now? He's seventy eight years old. Wednesday?

1143
01:27:32.279 --> 01:27:35.760
So not next Wednesday, next Friday, he will be seventy

1144
01:27:35.800 --> 01:27:39.079
eight years old, not this Friday.

1145
01:27:39.079 --> 01:27:39.359
Coming.

1146
01:27:41.680 --> 01:27:47.640
Wow, can you believe right? It's near the end of June.

1147
01:27:47.840 --> 01:27:50.800
It's near the end of June. It's nearly the end

1148
01:27:50.840 --> 01:27:56.439
of June. It's weird. I mean, the first of July

1149
01:27:56.600 --> 01:28:04.359
is on Tuesday. I just I don't know. I don't

1150
01:28:04.399 --> 01:28:08.600
know why. Why am I surprised? This is just normal,

1151
01:28:08.640 --> 01:28:09.920
isn't it.

1152
01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:10.560
So?

1153
01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:19.960
I think I've answered. I've read out these questions, these things,

1154
01:28:22.319 --> 01:28:25.319
so thank you very much. If I haven't read them

1155
01:28:25.319 --> 01:28:32.159
all out, I'm sorry, I'm just scrolling through. So my

1156
01:28:32.239 --> 01:28:38.439
website is back. However, however, there's a bit of an

1157
01:28:38.479 --> 01:28:42.039
issue because they've because I did delete it, they're allowed

1158
01:28:42.039 --> 01:28:47.079
for it to come back. But some of it is

1159
01:28:47.119 --> 01:28:50.680
not how it should be. I haven't got time to

1160
01:28:50.920 --> 01:28:53.399
work on it at the moment, but I will get

1161
01:28:53.399 --> 01:28:59.359
it sorted. I promise I will. It's just going to

1162
01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:02.800
take a little while. Well, I don't have the time

1163
01:29:02.840 --> 01:29:07.079
at the moment to work on the website, but as

1164
01:29:07.079 --> 01:29:10.039
soon as I've got the time, I will make those fixes.

1165
01:29:10.439 --> 01:29:13.760
I mean, at the moment, at the moment, it's working fine. Generally.

1166
01:29:14.479 --> 01:29:18.960
It's all the only playlists I've got without music. I

1167
01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:23.960
sorted that out so that it was obvious to see,

1168
01:29:24.720 --> 01:29:27.880
but it's put it back to how it was before.

1169
01:29:28.560 --> 01:29:30.880
So I'm not sure. I've not even had time to

1170
01:29:31.000 --> 01:29:35.760
really properly examine the website to make sure that everything works,

1171
01:29:36.960 --> 01:29:39.000
all the pages work, or the links work. I've not

1172
01:29:39.039 --> 01:29:44.479
done any of that, and I hope it does. However,

1173
01:29:44.640 --> 01:29:49.479
if you do go to the website, there are let

1174
01:29:49.520 --> 01:30:01.880
me have a look right on my website, from all

1175
01:30:01.880 --> 01:30:05.439
the different podcasts that are on there, there's six thousand,

1176
01:30:05.800 --> 01:30:16.680
six hundred episodes. Okay, so there's twenty. There's sixty four podcasts,

1177
01:30:19.399 --> 01:30:23.760
one video channel, three blog posts. I don't know what

1178
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:26.039
that is. I know what blog post is, but I

1179
01:30:26.079 --> 01:30:29.439
don't know what I've done. It's a six thousand, six

1180
01:30:29.560 --> 01:30:33.239
hundred and four always let me look click on that.

1181
01:30:33.319 --> 01:30:36.079
I wonder what's going to show me? Right, that's a

1182
01:30:36.119 --> 01:30:51.319
different podcasts on the summer. I don't know how many

1183
01:30:52.960 --> 01:31:05.319
there are. Well, okay, so there's one hundred, one hundred

1184
01:31:05.399 --> 01:31:11.079
times by thirteen, so one thousand and three hundred episodes.

1185
01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:14.960
This does include the different you know, the ones with music,

1186
01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:19.319
ones without music, ten hours, five hours. But there's one

1187
01:31:19.439 --> 01:31:25.079
three hundred recordings that you can actually scroll through on

1188
01:31:25.119 --> 01:31:32.760
the very first page of the website if you're willing

1189
01:31:32.840 --> 01:31:35.840
to kind of go through all that is because it's

1190
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:38.960
it takes a while, but you can also search for stuff.

1191
01:31:43.800 --> 01:31:49.199
So basically, if you go into the website, you've got one, two, three,

1192
01:31:49.399 --> 01:31:53.920
four different boxes at the top podcasts, playlists, podcast apps,

1193
01:31:53.960 --> 01:31:59.640
and contact. Then you've got two boxes below that, ones

1194
01:31:59.720 --> 01:32:04.279
for PayPal, the other ones join the Boring Jason Newland's

1195
01:32:04.279 --> 01:32:08.560
Boring group on Facebook. And then below that is the

1196
01:32:08.640 --> 01:32:17.439
latest recordings. So there's six versions of most recordings. If

1197
01:32:18.680 --> 01:32:23.319
for some reason, yes, sometimes I'll only do two recordings.

1198
01:32:23.439 --> 01:32:26.319
So I did a deep sleep whisper, and maybe it's

1199
01:32:26.319 --> 01:32:28.439
because it was a Sunday, and I was busy, but

1200
01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:31.600
I just did two versions, one with music, one without.

1201
01:32:32.520 --> 01:32:35.039
I think partly is because it was so such a

1202
01:32:35.079 --> 01:32:42.000
low volume that I just it was just easier just

1203
01:32:42.039 --> 01:32:45.239
to do one with music, one without, rather than editing

1204
01:32:45.279 --> 01:32:47.880
it five and ten hours, because I think it would

1205
01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:49.520
have taken a while and I didn't really have the

1206
01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:54.720
time to do it. But most of the recordings I

1207
01:32:54.840 --> 01:33:01.279
do there'll still be six versions, So there's quite a

1208
01:33:01.319 --> 01:33:05.279
few recordings I don't know. In fact, I don't know now,

1209
01:33:05.319 --> 01:33:07.279
but I can tell you how far it goes back

1210
01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:11.960
because it's the pot the recorded. All the podcasts on

1211
01:33:12.039 --> 01:33:22.159
the first page are basically yeah, wow, according to this,

1212
01:33:22.199 --> 01:33:25.000
I've got one five hundred and ninety two episodes on

1213
01:33:25.039 --> 01:33:30.279
this podcast, which means I see if I can skip

1214
01:33:30.319 --> 01:33:31.920
down to the end and tell you when the first

1215
01:33:31.960 --> 01:33:37.640
one was, because it's not that far ago. It's not

1216
01:33:37.680 --> 01:33:43.640
it's not a long long time ago, long long time ago.

1217
01:33:44.640 --> 01:33:48.319
I can still remember when the music used to make

1218
01:33:48.479 --> 01:33:59.279
me smile bitter beer right or April. I do appreciate

1219
01:33:59.399 --> 01:34:06.199
the night comments that you've left. It's very very extremely

1220
01:34:06.279 --> 01:34:22.640
pleasant of you. And what other things, I'm not sure

1221
01:34:22.680 --> 01:34:26.479
if I'm up to date with SoundCloud. I might be

1222
01:34:26.600 --> 01:34:36.199
a little bit behind on that one. So now in February,

1223
01:34:36.479 --> 01:34:42.920
I wonder how far back it goes. It's going to

1224
01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:45.920
be last year. And when did I get this for

1225
01:34:46.119 --> 01:34:48.640
this website? When did I start building this version?

1226
01:34:50.279 --> 01:34:53.319
Was it last year? Oh?

1227
01:34:53.359 --> 01:35:02.199
Yeah, I'm in December now, last year December? Oh man,

1228
01:35:02.239 --> 01:35:05.119
it might be two years worth. Maybe, I don't know.

1229
01:35:05.560 --> 01:35:15.479
I'm not sure, probably not, because this is when I yeah,

1230
01:35:15.560 --> 01:35:17.680
because I had to start the podcast again. I think

1231
01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:20.880
they got taken off because of the music, and then

1232
01:35:20.880 --> 01:35:25.720
they got brought back on again. More I deleted the

1233
01:35:25.720 --> 01:35:28.319
podcast and I had to restart it something like that.

1234
01:35:28.520 --> 01:35:34.680
I can't really remember exactly at the moment. So the

1235
01:35:34.760 --> 01:35:39.159
very first recording that I did on this podcast, which

1236
01:35:39.239 --> 01:35:42.680
is my main podcast now other than They Let Me

1237
01:35:42.720 --> 01:35:52.359
Boy to Sleep, was ah this it's October eighth, twenty

1238
01:35:52.439 --> 01:35:58.479
twenty four. That's when this podcast was created. But I've

1239
01:35:58.479 --> 01:36:02.279
got recordings going back to twenty ninth of July twenty

1240
01:36:02.479 --> 01:36:10.880
twenty four. I can't even remember October last year, So

1241
01:36:10.920 --> 01:36:15.600
I don't know how I ended up starting this new

1242
01:36:15.640 --> 01:36:19.760
podcast or what happened to the old one. I really

1243
01:36:19.840 --> 01:36:26.279
don't know. Oh, well, so there's a few recordings there.

1244
01:36:28.680 --> 01:36:35.640
I got another message. Okay, there's a few messages coming

1245
01:36:35.760 --> 01:36:46.760
for the Q and a Friday. There's two do do

1246
01:36:46.760 --> 01:36:48.800
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

1247
01:36:48.520 --> 01:36:50.720
Do Do Do Do Do Do do do do?

1248
01:36:54.239 --> 01:36:56.279
Uh?

1249
01:36:57.479 --> 01:37:01.039
All right, I need to look up at something here.

1250
01:37:06.720 --> 01:37:07.000
Hmm.

1251
01:37:07.239 --> 01:37:13.720
That's weird. That shouldn't happen now, I'm just looking at something.

1252
01:37:13.760 --> 01:37:37.880
I've just been optimized, right. I think I've just saw

1253
01:37:37.920 --> 01:37:42.479
it in an issue that I didn't know there was there.

1254
01:37:44.119 --> 01:37:48.159
So there's been a message. It's basically i'll read the

1255
01:37:48.159 --> 01:37:50.800
message out again at the time, but there was a

1256
01:37:50.800 --> 01:37:56.640
message about the podcast and adverts being played in the middle.

1257
01:37:56.840 --> 01:37:59.239
And there shouldn't be any adverts being played in the

1258
01:37:59.239 --> 01:38:02.319
middle of any pot casts ever in my opinion, but

1259
01:38:02.399 --> 01:38:08.800
especially not mine, but apparently there were, and I've just

1260
01:38:08.960 --> 01:38:10.960
sort of I've just seen the problem and I'm going

1261
01:38:11.000 --> 01:38:15.399
to sort out that problem. I can see what it is.

1262
01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:20.279
So I don't know why. I think it just because

1263
01:38:20.279 --> 01:38:26.239
I've started these new podcasts for like playlists like one

1264
01:38:26.279 --> 01:38:29.079
to fifty and one hundred and one to one hundred

1265
01:38:29.079 --> 01:38:37.079
and fifty for four different podcasts. The there's a standard

1266
01:38:37.920 --> 01:38:44.279
it automatically sets it to play adverts in the middle,

1267
01:38:44.920 --> 01:38:47.079
and I did not set it for that. It's basically

1268
01:38:47.159 --> 01:38:52.039
auto optimized ads on this podcast, so get rid of it.

1269
01:38:56.359 --> 01:39:01.760
That's weird sores. There shouldn't ever be adverts. If there's

1270
01:39:01.760 --> 01:39:03.560
everyone ad a lot on YouTube? Is there any I

1271
01:39:03.600 --> 01:39:06.279
don't even have adverts on YouTube, But if there is,

1272
01:39:06.720 --> 01:39:15.920
it's YouTube. It's not me. It's YouTube. Because they banned

1273
01:39:15.960 --> 01:39:24.439
me and banned me from playing adverts because I think

1274
01:39:24.479 --> 01:39:31.319
I annoyed them. I don't know who I'm guessing. I'm

1275
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:33.239
not quite sure what it was, but they said no,

1276
01:39:33.359 --> 01:39:43.159
you can't have adverts, so well, oh well never mind.

1277
01:39:43.880 --> 01:39:47.000
So I will sort that out gradually over the next

1278
01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:52.640
few days. But my plan, here's my plan, is to

1279
01:39:53.119 --> 01:40:02.479
if I go to back to my website, I will

1280
01:40:03.319 --> 01:40:09.920
with the playlists. Currently there's let Me Boys Sleep, ASMR,

1281
01:40:09.960 --> 01:40:15.279
Deep Sleep, Whisper Hypnosis, relaxing and sleep hypnosis daily and

1282
01:40:15.399 --> 01:40:20.680
relaxation for stress and panic attacks. So the let Me

1283
01:40:20.720 --> 01:40:27.119
Boy to Sleep is broken into without music, without music,

1284
01:40:27.199 --> 01:40:31.760
with music, five hours without music, five hours with music,

1285
01:40:31.840 --> 01:40:35.199
ten hours without music, ten hours with music. The only

1286
01:40:35.319 --> 01:40:38.000
link that works the image that works is the one

1287
01:40:38.079 --> 01:40:41.840
without music, and then I've got broken up into fifty

1288
01:40:42.520 --> 01:40:46.640
categories of fifty one to fifty, fifty, one undred, one hundred,

1289
01:40:46.680 --> 01:40:48.880
one hundred and one hundred and fifty, et cetera, all

1290
01:40:48.920 --> 01:40:53.520
the way down two one thousand, three hundred and fifty

1291
01:40:53.600 --> 01:40:59.720
one to fourteen hundred. But it goes down they're all

1292
01:40:59.760 --> 01:41:05.039
with music. It goes the one that works. Yeah, the

1293
01:41:05.119 --> 01:41:08.199
latest one that actually clicks on is to two hundred

1294
01:41:08.199 --> 01:41:12.039
and fifty one to oney three hundred. Still working on

1295
01:41:12.079 --> 01:41:20.159
that one. So my plan over time is to have

1296
01:41:21.640 --> 01:41:24.279
with music five hours ten hours and have all of

1297
01:41:24.359 --> 01:41:27.920
those available, but only the ones that I've already done,

1298
01:41:28.439 --> 01:41:31.119
not going back and adding music to ones that I've

1299
01:41:31.159 --> 01:41:35.239
done in the past that didn't have music on. So

1300
01:41:35.319 --> 01:41:46.479
this will be pretty much for the last Yeah, it

1301
01:41:46.520 --> 01:41:49.760
can only be ones where Spreaker as a loud music,

1302
01:41:50.680 --> 01:41:52.640
but it's their music, so it won't be any of

1303
01:41:52.680 --> 01:41:55.079
the old ones that had ad music that I used

1304
01:41:55.079 --> 01:42:00.279
to use. The Kevin McLeod music can't use them, so

1305
01:42:01.039 --> 01:42:05.439
Speaker wond allow it. So I I will try and

1306
01:42:05.640 --> 01:42:12.039
update all the ones with music that I have, and

1307
01:42:12.079 --> 01:42:15.960
then going forward all the recordings apart from the one,

1308
01:42:16.000 --> 01:42:20.039
so I just do one without music, one with music.

1309
01:42:21.159 --> 01:42:23.600
They'll all have the five one, the five different, six

1310
01:42:23.640 --> 01:42:29.680
different versions. Rather, I was sending myself to sleep. It's incredible.

1311
01:42:31.760 --> 01:42:38.000
Let's see if I've had any Oh, my sister's birthday

1312
01:42:38.079 --> 01:42:39.079
is coming up in July.

1313
01:42:39.239 --> 01:42:52.159
Okay, oh, I want to get rid of some of this.

1314
01:42:55.119 --> 01:43:07.319
Junk now, bah ooh ooh, right, that's done, b.

1315
01:43:10.159 --> 01:43:13.920
B big oh yes, Sphinnia's waking me up. Two thirty

1316
01:43:13.960 --> 01:43:18.399
this morning, we go outside. I dropped down the lead

1317
01:43:18.600 --> 01:43:22.439
on the floor. Pick it up. It's like Pamela Anderson breakdancing.

1318
01:43:22.920 --> 01:43:29.760
I got distracted after that point, and out of the

1319
01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:33.199
doorway comes this big figure, which was a little bit

1320
01:43:33.199 --> 01:43:35.000
of a shock because I didn't expect anyone to come

1321
01:43:35.039 --> 01:43:37.479
through the doorway. And it was the lad who lives

1322
01:43:37.520 --> 01:43:41.560
over there over the over the road. So I've lived

1323
01:43:41.600 --> 01:43:45.199
here ten years, is now twenty one or whatever. So

1324
01:43:45.239 --> 01:43:46.920
he was a kid, a little kid when I first

1325
01:43:47.000 --> 01:43:50.479
moved in, and he's he's a man. He's a grown

1326
01:43:50.560 --> 01:43:53.800
grown man now. But he was he locked and he

1327
01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:55.760
didn't lock himself out. I think he lost the key

1328
01:43:57.039 --> 01:44:01.800
and his mum was away, so I tried to help him.

1329
01:44:01.800 --> 01:44:05.760
I said, well, what can you what's your options? Because

1330
01:44:05.760 --> 01:44:08.640
he was literally just waiting around. He didn't know what

1331
01:44:08.720 --> 01:44:12.279
to do, and I said, what are your options? I said, well,

1332
01:44:12.319 --> 01:44:16.800
he said, I can knock on the neighbor opposite. He's

1333
01:44:16.800 --> 01:44:21.039
got a key, but he's he'll be asleep. I said,

1334
01:44:21.039 --> 01:44:24.000
well to wake him up. Then he didn't want to

1335
01:44:24.000 --> 01:44:25.479
wake him up, and I said, look, that's the whole

1336
01:44:25.520 --> 01:44:30.479
point of having a key. It's for emergencies. It's if

1337
01:44:30.520 --> 01:44:34.840
you locked yourself out at two in the morning, that's

1338
01:44:34.880 --> 01:44:39.640
an emergency. And that's the whole point. Really, that's you know,

1339
01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:43.920
that's that's my it's an opinion, but you know, that's

1340
01:44:43.960 --> 01:44:49.279
how I kind of see it. And so he knocked

1341
01:44:49.359 --> 01:44:52.720
on the door. I knocked on the door. There's no answer,

1342
01:44:53.640 --> 01:44:57.119
and we weren't going to not make a huge amount

1343
01:44:57.119 --> 01:44:59.560
of noise because he don't want to startle the person,

1344
01:44:59.600 --> 01:45:02.079
you know, So it's kind of okay, let's leave it.

1345
01:45:02.640 --> 01:45:06.439
I took him upstairs, brought him upstairs here, and I said, well,

1346
01:45:06.640 --> 01:45:13.520
I'll call a council to get the key, get the

1347
01:45:13.560 --> 01:45:17.239
locksmith in. And then it turned out that it's not

1348
01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:21.880
with the council, so they couldn't do that. And I said, well,

1349
01:45:21.920 --> 01:45:23.840
you can stay here if you want, You can sit

1350
01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:28.079
down and wait until a good time to knock on

1351
01:45:28.119 --> 01:45:30.880
your neighbor's door when he's awake. So I think he's

1352
01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:34.399
quite early. He gets up fairly early, and he didn't

1353
01:45:34.399 --> 01:45:37.439
want to do that, I understand, to be fair, because

1354
01:45:37.520 --> 01:45:40.640
he doesn't really know me very well. But I just

1355
01:45:41.319 --> 01:45:47.680
the idea of leaving someone outside in the garden. And

1356
01:45:47.720 --> 01:45:52.800
it's admittedly it wasn't cold out there, you know, even

1357
01:45:52.840 --> 01:45:55.000
at two point thirty or whatever time it was, it

1358
01:45:55.039 --> 01:45:59.960
wasn't cold, but there's going to come a time when

1359
01:46:00.039 --> 01:46:02.800
it isn't warm that when it gets you know, by

1360
01:46:02.960 --> 01:46:06.720
like maybe four three four, there's a there's a certain

1361
01:46:06.760 --> 01:46:12.840
time at night that he really can get chilli, especially

1362
01:46:12.960 --> 01:46:20.119
July August, but June, you know, anytime really. But it

1363
01:46:20.279 --> 01:46:23.560
just happened to be really really light evening that evening

1364
01:46:23.680 --> 01:46:28.159
last night, so he just went back downstairs and went

1365
01:46:28.199 --> 01:46:32.279
and sat in the garden waited so and his mum

1366
01:46:32.359 --> 01:46:35.319
was away or whatever, so he couldn't couldn't get hold

1367
01:46:35.319 --> 01:46:38.680
of her. So I've not seen him to ask him

1368
01:46:38.680 --> 01:46:42.279
if he's okay, But I think that's why Vinnie was

1369
01:46:43.159 --> 01:46:46.119
basically trying to get me, get my attention, because he could.

1370
01:46:46.279 --> 01:46:51.399
He could probably hear hear him down there, but he

1371
01:46:51.439 --> 01:46:58.039
didn't bark or anything. I'm not talking about the neighbor.

1372
01:46:58.039 --> 01:47:00.880
I'm talking about him. He didn't vinne, he didn't bark.

1373
01:47:00.960 --> 01:47:06.800
He just like wanted my attention. But then I'm thinking

1374
01:47:07.239 --> 01:47:09.039
the fact that he's been left on his own for

1375
01:47:09.119 --> 01:47:15.159
most of the day, and then when I'm here, he's

1376
01:47:15.199 --> 01:47:18.039
going out. He's still getting out. I'm still taking him

1377
01:47:18.079 --> 01:47:23.159
out three times a day for his w alk. So

1378
01:47:23.199 --> 01:47:25.119
he goes for one in the morning, then he goes

1379
01:47:25.159 --> 01:47:27.000
for one to get back, then he goes for another

1380
01:47:27.039 --> 01:47:31.359
one later on, so he's had three today already. It

1381
01:47:31.479 --> 01:47:37.920
probably I might just just take him in the garden

1382
01:47:38.039 --> 01:47:40.319
for five minutes before I go to bed tonight, because

1383
01:47:40.359 --> 01:47:44.479
it's half past eight now I do need to eat something.

1384
01:47:44.760 --> 01:47:51.000
And then yeah, I'll be in bed by ten hopefully,

1385
01:47:51.840 --> 01:47:55.520
So I'll take him out for go for doo weewiez

1386
01:47:55.800 --> 01:48:00.880
in the garden. Yeah, I'll do, and then I'll get up.

1387
01:48:01.399 --> 01:48:06.479
I'll wake up whatever time I'll wake up in the morning.

1388
01:48:07.239 --> 01:48:11.159
I've got I've got enough milk for my ready break

1389
01:48:11.199 --> 01:48:17.600
in the morning and then that's it. So what I

1390
01:48:17.720 --> 01:48:21.479
need to do when I get home is order some food,

1391
01:48:22.239 --> 01:48:29.479
get a delivery that tomorrow and then just basics milk, breakfast, cereal,

1392
01:48:29.560 --> 01:48:34.560
a few bits and bobs. Yeah, that would be I

1393
01:48:34.600 --> 01:48:42.039
need to do that. Yeah, So tomorrow's kind of booked,

1394
01:48:42.199 --> 01:48:50.840
Tomorrow's planned, and Friday, I just don't know, to be honest,

1395
01:48:52.800 --> 01:48:55.800
I just don't know. I don't know. I really don't know.

1396
01:48:56.039 --> 01:48:58.399
I'm going to do a Q and a Friday, but

1397
01:48:58.439 --> 01:49:03.000
other than that, I'm just gonna see how things are

1398
01:49:03.039 --> 01:49:06.199
tomorrow because there has been a little bit of a

1399
01:49:06.239 --> 01:49:11.800
progression today since I left. He's been visited and he's

1400
01:49:11.840 --> 01:49:17.520
had some conversations with people about his situation. So I'll

1401
01:49:17.560 --> 01:49:23.560
catch up with him tomorrow and then just see see

1402
01:49:23.600 --> 01:49:28.279
what what what I was gonna say, what what perspires?

1403
01:49:28.880 --> 01:49:32.079
I don't know, whatever the word is. So right now

1404
01:49:32.880 --> 01:49:38.439
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna have myself some crumpets, some

1405
01:49:38.479 --> 01:49:44.399
toasted crumpets with a margarine and a cup of tea

1406
01:49:45.399 --> 01:49:51.560
or a nass cup of tea, and that's it.

1407
01:49:51.640 --> 01:49:51.920
Really.

1408
01:49:52.800 --> 01:50:00.239
I might treat myself to a cornetto oh, yeah.

1409
01:49:59.359 --> 01:50:06.800
Ice cream, ice cream, So thank you for listening.

1410
01:50:07.439 --> 01:50:10.159
Remember to be kind to yourself, because you do deserve

1411
01:50:10.239 --> 01:50:14.119
to be happy and be gentle with yourself, be deserved

1412
01:50:14.159 --> 01:50:16.880
to feel safe. Lots of love.

1413
01:50:18.640 --> 01:50:29.600
Bye. Relax in a more.

1414
01:50:30.359 --> 01:50:35.560
Deep and.

1415
01:50:35.079 --> 01:50:42.479
Meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just

1416
01:50:42.760 --> 01:50:52.840
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time

1417
01:50:53.520 --> 01:51:01.920
we've spend together here, not just relaxed at the end

1418
01:51:01.960 --> 01:51:06.359
of the recording when it's finished and you can enjoy

1419
01:51:06.560 --> 01:51:23.960
that sense of comfort and peace, but also I think

1420
01:51:24.000 --> 01:51:35.199
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation

1421
01:51:37.520 --> 01:51:51.760
continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that

1422
01:51:51.920 --> 01:52:04.359
you can still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe

1423
01:52:04.399 --> 01:52:15.800
in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by

1424
01:52:15.920 --> 01:52:23.880
listening regularly, especially if you find like some people do

1425
01:52:24.239 --> 01:52:27.880
and myself as well. I sometimes I find one particular

1426
01:52:28.000 --> 01:52:38.000
recording that really resonates with me, and I just listen

1427
01:52:38.119 --> 01:52:43.399
to it over and over again every morning, every evening.

1428
01:52:51.039 --> 01:52:55.680
There was this recording from We're going back to about

1429
01:52:55.800 --> 01:53:01.079
nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hit, but it was a

1430
01:53:01.199 --> 01:53:10.640
guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis really, and I

1431
01:53:10.720 --> 01:53:14.039
managed to find it again and it still has the

1432
01:53:14.079 --> 01:53:23.279
same effect on me, and part of it was the

1433
01:53:23.359 --> 01:53:36.680
person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful, and I'd

1434
01:53:36.680 --> 01:53:39.840
look forward to listening to her.

1435
01:53:42.520 --> 01:53:44.640
In the morning and in the evening.

1436
01:53:51.039 --> 01:54:00.119
And I knew before even pressing the play button that

1437
01:54:00.399 --> 01:54:04.800
since I've done that, pressed the play button. This was

1438
01:54:05.159 --> 01:54:16.159
in the days of CD players pressed the play button.

1439
01:54:19.560 --> 01:54:22.439
In fact, it might have even been a tape tape recorder.

1440
01:54:23.680 --> 01:54:32.039
I'd lie down on the bed and then even without

1441
01:54:32.600 --> 01:54:45.560
necessarily listening to her words because I had them memorized. Really,

1442
01:54:50.239 --> 01:54:56.239
it was as if my body knew exactly what to do,

1443
01:55:01.000 --> 01:55:22.840
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and

1444
01:55:22.960 --> 01:55:28.000
I remember my mind would slow down.

1445
01:55:33.640 --> 01:55:34.039
Now.

1446
01:55:36.000 --> 01:55:42.640
Now, I was listening to this recording in the early

1447
01:55:42.800 --> 01:55:50.640
days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made

1448
01:55:51.159 --> 01:55:58.520
any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start

1449
01:55:58.560 --> 01:56:08.359
doing that till too fat thousand and six, I knew,

1450
01:56:12.239 --> 01:56:25.359
I knew how helpful I found being able to just

1451
01:56:25.520 --> 01:56:33.560
let go, to have that trust in the person that

1452
01:56:33.560 --> 01:56:47.439
I'm listening to, knowing that it's going to be just

1453
01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:54.800
as relaxing, if not more so. Each time you hear

1454
01:56:54.880 --> 01:57:00.720
my voice, you may feel the same.

1455
01:57:06.880 --> 01:57:08.159
Some people.

1456
01:57:10.279 --> 01:57:22.600
Have been listening to me for over a decade. Maybe

1457
01:57:22.720 --> 01:57:28.119
not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day, but

1458
01:57:30.279 --> 01:57:35.159
maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.

1459
01:57:46.359 --> 01:57:54.319
There's something that I do which you may not realize

1460
01:57:54.720 --> 01:58:13.319
by listening, is when I record these recordings now, for example,

1461
01:58:17.840 --> 01:58:30.000
I also am affected by the words that I say.

1462
01:58:30.920 --> 01:58:40.199
So if I set you focus on your feet, notice

1463
01:58:40.319 --> 01:58:47.680
your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1464
01:58:52.439 --> 01:59:09.399
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I have

1465
01:59:09.560 --> 01:59:16.159
said focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference

1466
01:59:17.199 --> 01:59:27.960
between each hand. Perhaps notice the the air in the room,

1467
01:59:28.479 --> 01:59:33.960
the temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.

1468
01:59:41.079 --> 01:59:45.000
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

1469
01:59:45.119 --> 01:59:53.079
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1470
01:59:53.600 --> 01:59:58.520
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

1471
02:00:06.680 --> 02:00:17.279
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

1472
02:00:17.640 --> 02:00:29.399
aware of how relaxed my hands our feeling.

1473
02:00:30.760 --> 02:00:40.720
Now.

1474
02:00:45.760 --> 02:00:51.600
And when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep,

1475
02:00:52.680 --> 02:01:05.279
which may be the reason you're listening, I also feel

1476
02:01:05.439 --> 02:01:19.680
drowsy when I make these recordings. I also notice my

1477
02:01:19.960 --> 02:01:36.239
mind drifting. In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep

1478
02:01:41.840 --> 02:01:56.319
without even noticing, and then I carry on talking. It's

1479
02:01:56.399 --> 02:02:05.399
only where I listen back to do the editing. I

1480
02:02:05.560 --> 02:02:14.840
hear snoring, and I think, I don't remember snoring. I

1481
02:02:14.880 --> 02:02:25.760
remember talking. This snoring was a pig turned up. That's

1482
02:02:25.760 --> 02:02:33.239
why I sound like when I snare and I get

1483
02:02:33.279 --> 02:02:47.279
really into the whole experience. I don't know how you feel.

1484
02:02:53.479 --> 02:02:59.880
How relaxed do you feel in your feet, How relaxed

1485
02:03:03.880 --> 02:03:24.960
you feel in your hands. I have noticed more and

1486
02:03:25.159 --> 02:03:44.119
more that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,

1487
02:03:47.720 --> 02:04:03.880
the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional

1488
02:04:07.039 --> 02:04:28.000
muscle relaxation. So this allows you the bree easier without

1489
02:04:29.479 --> 02:04:56.800
necessarily focusing on your breath, however, being able to notice

1490
02:05:00.800 --> 02:05:02.319
the ease.

1491
02:05:05.119 --> 02:05:06.039
In which.

1492
02:05:13.239 --> 02:05:36.039
You breathe so naturally. You breathe so very easily and smoothly.

1493
02:06:03.600 --> 02:06:22.479
Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed,

1494
02:06:28.520 --> 02:06:41.399
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

1495
02:06:41.640 --> 02:07:21.920
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice to,

1496
02:07:23.640 --> 02:07:42.600
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

1497
02:07:53.920 --> 02:08:26.720
enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity with a joyful heart.

1498
02:08:51.800 --> 02:09:17.319
Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

1499
02:09:23.199 --> 02:10:02.319
so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

1500
02:10:02.520 --> 02:11:14.239
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.

1501
02:11:15.199 --> 02:12:01.920
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

1502
02:12:02.159 --> 02:12:18.279
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip

1503
02:12:19.000 --> 02:12:32.920
out of your body, to appear out of every part

1504
02:12:38.800 --> 02:13:03.039
of your body, and being released from your brain. Long

1505
02:13:03.359 --> 02:14:06.880
your mind slowly but surely, the muscle sinlex relax acts, really,

1506
02:14:12.000 --> 02:14:52.720
so very deeply, res so deeply, and the feelings, the

1507
02:14:52.880 --> 02:15:18.239
pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders, deepening each part

1508
02:15:18.359 --> 02:15:59.319
of your body further and deeper and deeper. Noticing the

1509
02:15:59.399 --> 02:16:26.079
feedings in the back of your neck, my feelings in

1510
02:16:26.119 --> 02:17:14.799
your wrists, muscles in the front of your body. I

1511
02:17:15.000 --> 02:18:04.440
also feeling peaceful deeply. There's a sense of peace spreads

1512
02:18:04.479 --> 02:18:20.200
through your very core.

1513
02:18:37.959 --> 02:18:39.520
Even when you.

1514
02:18:42.399 --> 02:19:43.879
Focus on your mind, your mind becomes beve and slowerven, deeper, relaxing,

1515
02:20:06.360 --> 02:21:07.159
so very slow. His stomach, he's fallin's stomach, your back.

1516
02:21:12.479 --> 02:21:41.319
Notice Notice how relaxed you'd now fear in the hole

1517
02:21:41.639 --> 02:21:42.559
of your back.

1518
02:22:07.600 --> 02:22:08.799
Your spy.

1519
02:22:12.479 --> 02:22:17.239
From your brain all the way down the middle of

1520
02:22:17.280 --> 02:22:37.000
your back, sending and receiving millions of messages every day.

1521
02:22:40.000 --> 02:24:00.239
Deep comfort increasing, deeply relaxed, n spreading those you can

1522
02:24:00.280 --> 02:24:09.079
almost down your spine or cord into air, every part

1523
02:24:09.479 --> 02:24:55.719
of your body, your shins and your calf muscles. We're elbows.

1524
02:25:12.200 --> 02:25:29.639
Feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your body, tips

1525
02:25:29.639 --> 02:25:45.639
of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers, all the

1526
02:25:45.639 --> 02:26:31.319
way to your lower back. Letting go, reit thinker, peace,

1527
02:26:47.120 --> 02:27:14.000
drifting mind just wandering away, happy to let go.

1528
02:27:16.959 --> 02:27:18.399
Let go.

1529
02:27:22.719 --> 02:28:49.440
Completely, let go, so tranquil the whole body enjoying a censor, lett.

And safety.

1535
02:31:20.239 --> 02:31:21.680
So fury.

1536
02:31:28.719 --> 02:33:23.479
Relaxed. Yes, yuh. Maybe we can just focus on the

1537
02:33:23.639 --> 02:33:59.000
different parts of your body, just to notice your forehead

1538
02:33:59.239 --> 02:35:00.520
and your franks. Mutual so lous mut say, in a

1539
02:35:00.719 --> 02:36:31.399

letting go peace with mind relaxed forty so relaxed, so relaxed.

1545
02:43:28.959 --> 02:43:55.840
Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful,

1546
02:44:02.159 --> 02:45:10.200
so peace real liquor, so peaceful, so fair. And you

1547
02:45:10.200 --> 02:45:17.399
could start to notice that you are feeling more relaxed,

1548
02:45:20.399 --> 02:45:30.239
even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon that

1549
02:45:31.479 --> 02:45:37.600
sense of physical comfort that is growing within you throughout

1550
02:45:37.639 --> 02:45:50.559
your body, and your mind starts to slow down, and

1551
02:45:50.600 --> 02:45:58.120
that could be almost in recognition of I guess my

1552
02:45:58.360 --> 02:46:13.200
speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer.

1553
02:46:16.639 --> 02:46:24.639
Just by listening to my voice, you give yourself an

1554
02:46:24.639 --> 02:46:32.680
opportunity to take a break from the day, take a

1555
02:46:32.680 --> 02:46:40.360
break from your life as it is, and to give

1556
02:46:40.399 --> 02:46:48.520
yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time

1557
02:46:48.639 --> 02:46:56.239
off and to allow your body to relax and allow

1558
02:46:56.280 --> 02:47:07.239
your mind to slow down, which in turn releases the tension,

1559
02:47:08.639 --> 02:47:17.840
any stresses that you had in your body. It's almost

1560
02:47:17.879 --> 02:47:22.120
as if the parts of your body just open up,

1561
02:47:23.319 --> 02:47:35.000
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing

1562
02:47:35.799 --> 02:47:45.360
that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then fills your

1563
02:47:45.399 --> 02:47:57.280
body up and your mind to also starts to appreciate

1564
02:47:58.120 --> 02:48:16.520
those feelings of increasing confidence and almost uplifting, feeling positive, healing,

1565
02:48:19.680 --> 02:48:28.280
an energy that spreads through your body like a wave

1566
02:48:30.559 --> 02:48:42.719
of comfort, and all this comes and just allowing yourself

1567
02:48:45.520 --> 02:48:50.760
a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however long you

1568
02:48:50.840 --> 02:49:03.479
want it to be, to just rest and allow your

1569
02:49:03.520 --> 02:49:14.079
mind and your body to almost reset itself to the

1570
02:49:14.120 --> 02:49:30.000
settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more room

1571
02:49:30.479 --> 02:49:43.559
for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around your

1572
02:49:43.600 --> 02:49:52.040
body and into your mind, almost as if your mind

1573
02:49:52.120 --> 02:50:02.799
and your body are sinking together, most mirroring each other

1574
02:50:03.760 --> 02:50:18.040
with that growing positivity and calmness, and it feels nice.

1575
02:50:18.239 --> 02:50:24.239
It really does feel nice to know that you are

1576
02:50:24.280 --> 02:50:34.479
the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort

1577
02:50:37.719 --> 02:50:40.680
and to experience.

1578
02:50:42.280 --> 02:50:43.600
More of this.

1579
02:50:45.239 --> 02:51:00.440
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1580
02:51:01.959 --> 02:51:08.159
on each part of your body, you can notice that.

1581
02:51:07.920 --> 02:51:08.959
That part.

1582
02:51:12.600 --> 02:51:25.079
Becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it. It

1583
02:51:25.200 --> 02:51:38.879
becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing. And

1584
02:51:38.959 --> 02:51:44.920
as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1585
02:51:47.159 --> 02:51:53.920
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

1586
02:51:54.040 --> 02:52:01.719
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

1587
02:52:01.760 --> 02:52:15.159
on or just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation

1588
02:52:15.520 --> 02:52:28.520
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going

1589
02:52:28.600 --> 02:52:35.559
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware

1590
02:52:35.879 --> 02:52:44.479
of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds

1591
02:52:46.200 --> 02:52:51.120
like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to

1592
02:52:51.239 --> 02:52:58.520
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1593
02:53:01.600 --> 02:53:07.000
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1594
02:53:10.399 --> 02:53:16.479
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1595
02:53:17.000 --> 02:53:27.520
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1596
02:53:27.760 --> 02:53:36.120
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1597
02:53:37.840 --> 02:53:46.559
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1598
02:53:47.479 --> 02:53:55.799
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1599
02:53:58.239 --> 02:54:07.959
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1600
02:54:08.000 --> 02:54:16.159
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing.

1601
02:54:17.280 --> 02:54:17.959
Completely.

1602
02:54:22.639 --> 02:54:30.360
Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1603
02:54:31.520 --> 02:54:39.479
your teeth, and your gumbs in the whole of your mouth, relaxing,

1604
02:54:42.959 --> 02:54:53.280
calm and loose as you focus now on your jaw,

1605
02:54:56.280 --> 02:54:59.840
not just the part of your jaw near your mouth

1606
02:55:00.639 --> 02:55:04.959
and your chin, but all the way up the size

1607
02:55:05.000 --> 02:55:11.520
of your face to your ears, the hole of your

1608
02:55:11.600 --> 02:55:38.920
jaw feeding more relaxed and calm, focusing on your neck,

1609
02:55:41.559 --> 02:55:48.760
the front of your neck and your throat relaxing and

1610
02:55:48.840 --> 02:55:59.319
loose and calm. The sides of your neck, the right

1611
02:55:59.479 --> 02:56:07.920
and left side of your neck relax and loose.

1612
02:56:11.639 --> 02:56:20.959
And calm. And now the back of your neck.

1613
02:56:24.200 --> 02:56:34.360
Focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of

1614
02:56:34.399 --> 02:56:41.319
any tension that may have been there before, and enjoying

1615
02:56:41.639 --> 02:56:54.680
that sense of increasing comfort and release that you can

1616
02:56:54.719 --> 02:57:05.879
experience in the back of your neck. Moving down your

1617
02:57:05.959 --> 02:57:13.319
back and moving either side of your spine right from

1618
02:57:13.360 --> 02:57:14.040
the top of.

1619
02:57:13.959 --> 02:57:14.760
Your back.

1620
02:57:16.399 --> 02:57:18.399
All the way down.

1621
02:57:18.639 --> 02:57:31.079
To the bottom of your back, down to your lower back.

1622
02:57:36.120 --> 02:57:43.200
And as you move up and down your spine, you

1623
02:57:43.280 --> 02:57:51.040
can feel the muscles either side of your spine relaxing

1624
02:57:51.079 --> 02:58:04.559
even more. And there's those muscles relax That sense of

1625
02:58:04.760 --> 02:58:15.440
comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into both

1626
02:58:15.600 --> 02:58:22.799
sides of your back, the top of your back, the

1627
02:58:22.840 --> 02:58:31.239
middle and your lower back. And as you scan gently

1628
02:58:31.760 --> 02:58:39.120
and slowly up and down your back, there's the muscles

1629
02:58:39.280 --> 02:58:44.399
in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1630
02:58:48.719 --> 02:58:54.719
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1631
02:58:54.840 --> 02:59:04.360
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,

1632
02:59:10.120 --> 02:59:16.120
and in your lower back it seems to be an

1633
02:59:16.159 --> 02:59:30.399
extra special feeling of comfort that spreads into your hips.

1634
02:59:32.639 --> 02:59:40.600
Sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

1635
02:59:40.680 --> 02:59:49.479
area where your cosicks are, and into your buttocks, and

1636
02:59:49.520 --> 02:59:58.760
all those muscles that spread from your lower back into

1637
02:59:58.799 --> 03:00:12.399
your hip area start to melt, start to really let go,

1638
03:00:18.959 --> 03:00:25.760
and even nowhere about to focus on your shoulders, your

1639
03:00:25.920 --> 03:00:37.319
back and your spine will continue to let go, continue

1640
03:00:37.399 --> 03:00:52.959
to relax so calmly, and as you focus on your shoulders,

1641
03:00:54.040 --> 03:00:57.239
you may notice that they're already.

1642
03:00:58.399 --> 03:01:00.399
Feeding hm.

1643
03:01:02.120 --> 03:01:32.159
Really loose, they're already feeding calm and feeling. Those muscles

1644
03:01:34.920 --> 03:01:47.280
then move from your neck into your shoulders. Feel so

1645
03:01:47.280 --> 03:02:16.319
soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and the feeling

1646
03:02:16.479 --> 03:02:29.360
in your shoulders seens to spread deep into your shoulders,

1647
03:02:31.399 --> 03:02:40.680
that sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply into your muscles,

1648
03:02:44.120 --> 03:02:57.319
but also relaxing the bones and moving all away to

1649
03:02:57.559 --> 03:03:06.520
underneath your arms, relaxing a whole area between the tops

1650
03:03:06.600 --> 03:03:15.239
of your shoulders and underneath your arms, healing.

1651
03:03:20.600 --> 03:03:21.360
You feel so.

1652
03:03:23.200 --> 03:03:37.319
Relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders. Who sends that deep

1653
03:03:38.120 --> 03:03:59.000
healing message into your arms, and you may feel almost

1654
03:03:59.079 --> 03:04:03.520
as if you are arms are not even there because

1655
03:04:03.639 --> 03:04:40.280
they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm, so.

1656
03:04:47.000 --> 03:04:56.959
Loose, not feeling spreading.

1657
03:04:59.120 --> 03:05:23.440
All way down your arms, two elbows, including your elbows,

1658
03:05:23.479 --> 03:05:26.879
circumforts spreads.

1659
03:05:30.319 --> 03:05:31.079
Or away.

1660
03:05:33.440 --> 03:05:49.760
Into your wrists, your forearments and your wrists feeing so heavy.

1661
03:05:52.120 --> 03:06:33.440
Yet at the same time, sunlight and gentle fercu say,

1662
03:06:35.879 --> 03:07:15.799
now on your hands, my hands, so peaceful in your hands,

1663
03:07:33.040 --> 03:07:52.079
there's a sense of real peace. It just seems to

1664
03:07:56.319 --> 03:08:17.280
feel so familiar. Yeah, when your hands relax deeply. Yes,

1665
03:08:34.719 --> 03:09:43.239
your thing is h you things, sidles, you finger tips,

1666
03:10:11.799 --> 03:10:31.000
moving your attention to the front of your body, so comfortable,

1667
03:10:41.959 --> 03:12:07.600
moving your focus to your legs, a muscles.

1668
03:12:08.639 --> 03:12:27.520
In your thighs, your knees.

1669
03:12:31.159 --> 03:15:08.040
So relaxed, half musculs and just sens copusy four and

1670
03:15:08.239 --> 03:15:29.520

03:16:20.079 --> 03:16:31.840

1673
03:16:36.959 --> 03:16:56.200
Peace fall, so calm, loving that deep relaxation, to spread

1674
03:16:56.440 --> 03:16:57.879
your chest in.

1675
03:16:58.000 --> 03:17:29.799
Your stumm, letting go of everything. So I'm gonna start

1676
03:17:29.799 --> 03:17:41.520
counting down now from twenty down to one. You can

1677
03:17:41.600 --> 03:17:45.040
imagine in a way it's like just walking down some

1678
03:17:45.319 --> 03:17:51.319
steps and each step or twenty steps, and each step

1679
03:17:51.440 --> 03:18:04.280
represents a level of comfort, each step represents a deepening

1680
03:18:06.239 --> 03:18:16.600
of that comfort, and the fervies you walk down those

1681
03:18:16.719 --> 03:18:28.600
steps that the deeper and more relaxed you feel. So

1682
03:18:29.200 --> 03:22:19.120
starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen six Stemne

1683
03:23:01.879 --> 03:24:03.479
fourteen four teen.

1684
03:25:09.079 --> 03:27:20.000
Too well five eight.

1685
03:28:25.120 --> 03:32:59.879
Nine hey seven four.

1686
03:33:20.600 --> 03:34:40.719
Five four.

1687
03:35:57.719 --> 03:39:14.959
Two one, And now as you focus on your eyes,

1688
03:39:24.520 --> 03:39:33.879
we're going to count down from ten dout to one,

1689
03:39:34.200 --> 03:39:43.840
focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around

1690
03:39:43.920 --> 03:39:55.360
your eyes, your eye walls themselves, our whole area that

1691
03:39:55.559 --> 03:40:09.680
makes up your eye. And as we count down from

1692
03:40:09.840 --> 03:40:17.840
ten down to one, whilst focus in on your eyes,

1693
03:40:24.120 --> 03:40:36.120
you'll become twice is relaxed with each number counting down

1694
03:40:39.159 --> 03:40:46.319
that you may find the all you want to do

1695
03:40:46.639 --> 03:40:55.760
is just drift off to sleep. And if that's what

1696
03:40:55.879 --> 03:41:08.600
you want, then just allow yourself to do that. Now,

1697
03:41:11.319 --> 03:41:17.760
focusing on your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down

1698
03:41:19.280 --> 03:42:35.920
from ten down to one right now, ten nine eight

1699
03:43:29.319 --> 03:50:47.600
seven four five four three two one. So count and

1700
03:50:47.680 --> 03:51:03.479
down from ten to one, ten nine, eight, seven, six, five,

1701
03:51:05.799 --> 03:51:23.559
four three two one. And maybe that was a bit

1702
03:51:23.600 --> 03:51:27.760
too quick in order to relax. Maybe it's a bit

1703
03:51:27.799 --> 03:51:34.319
too fast for you to notice the calming of your body,

1704
03:51:37.479 --> 03:51:42.079
maybe even a little bit of pressure there, like you're

1705
03:51:42.120 --> 03:51:44.920
counting down from ten to one. Would you expect me

1706
03:51:45.000 --> 03:51:48.520
to do man, expect me to just to go with floppy

1707
03:51:49.799 --> 03:51:57.959
just because you're counting down. We could try it again,

1708
03:51:59.280 --> 03:52:05.280
but this time I'll go this slower. This time, as

1709
03:52:05.280 --> 03:52:10.239
you focus on the whole of your body before we

1710
03:52:10.440 --> 03:52:17.520
focus on your legs. Just notice how your body does

1711
03:52:19.239 --> 03:52:32.399
start to feel more relaxed with every number that I

1712
03:52:32.559 --> 03:53:44.200
count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four three

1713
03:53:44.520 --> 03:54:22.280
two one, And just notice how how you feel, generally,

1714
03:54:22.680 --> 03:54:37.000
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

1715
03:54:37.120 --> 03:54:44.399
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

1716
03:54:45.559 --> 03:55:04.079
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

1717
03:55:08.760 --> 03:55:14.000
sitting or lying down and just being there, not doing anything,

1718
03:55:14.120 --> 03:55:20.799
not saying anything, not needing to think about anything. So

1719
03:55:21.440 --> 03:55:24.520
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1720
03:55:24.520 --> 03:55:35.520
a space, a gap. And the more I came down

1721
03:55:35.559 --> 03:55:42.959
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1722
03:55:43.079 --> 03:55:55.520
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

1723
03:55:55.600 --> 03:56:09.719
nice feeling and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically

1724
03:56:09.840 --> 03:56:28.879
or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you to just slow down,

1725
03:56:32.479 --> 03:56:35.440
someone to count again from ten down to one, and

1726
03:56:35.600 --> 03:56:45.600
notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1727
03:56:45.600 --> 03:56:51.680
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

1728
03:56:51.760 --> 03:58:01.520
gap and gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five,

1729
03:58:12.639 --> 03:59:09.760
four three two.

1730
03:59:06.479 --> 03:59:10.600
One.

1731
03:59:18.639 --> 03:59:23.559
How does your body feel.

1732
03:59:24.639 --> 03:59:35.440
Now?

1733
03:59:37.520 --> 03:59:52.799
Can you notice do you feeling calmer, the feeling more

1734
03:59:53.239 --> 04:00:20.680
relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

1735
04:00:36.600 --> 04:00:56.799
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

1736
04:00:56.879 --> 04:01:01.760
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing because

1737
04:01:05.239 --> 04:01:07.799
I'm sure, like most of your body, there is not

1738
04:01:07.840 --> 04:01:20.079
a lot going on right now. Just focusing on the

1739
04:01:20.120 --> 04:01:26.239
whole of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the

1740
04:01:26.479 --> 04:01:33.159
sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your

1741
04:01:33.239 --> 04:01:38.600
outer thighs, and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of

1742
04:01:38.639 --> 04:01:46.479
your thigh that leads into your hip and it goes

1743
04:01:47.440 --> 04:02:01.040
down to your knee joints. Now, this is a big area.

1744
04:02:02.040 --> 04:02:07.040
It's a very heavy area, it's very strong. Probably the

1745
04:02:07.120 --> 04:02:21.840
strongest muscles in your body are in your thighs. But

1746
04:02:21.879 --> 04:02:33.520
I don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1747
04:02:36.239 --> 04:02:47.000
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1748
04:02:47.159 --> 04:03:07.840
our lives, how much they actually do for us, all

1749
04:03:07.879 --> 04:03:18.360
for our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,

1750
04:03:18.399 --> 04:03:26.879
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

1751
04:03:26.920 --> 04:03:35.719
our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown, a.

1752
04:03:35.680 --> 04:03:36.040
Bit of.

1753
04:03:42.559 --> 04:03:54.719
Acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what our thighs do

1754
04:03:54.799 --> 04:04:06.639
for us. And I know this may sound a bit strange.

1755
04:04:07.079 --> 04:04:10.239
Maybe you think, why am I Surely I should be

1756
04:04:10.239 --> 04:04:15.000
out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,

1757
04:04:19.159 --> 04:04:21.600
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.

1758
04:04:22.479 --> 04:04:24.719
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

1759
04:04:24.760 --> 04:04:28.680
outside hugging a tree. I can't see the television from

1760
04:04:28.719 --> 04:04:39.319
the tree. If you move down to your knees gaining

1761
04:04:39.600 --> 04:04:47.760
such an important part, and I think we don't necessarily

1762
04:04:49.239 --> 04:04:56.920
I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all

1763
04:04:56.959 --> 04:05:01.799
that my knees do for me. Un or I have

1764
04:05:01.920 --> 04:05:05.319
a problem with my knee. It's occasionally if I ever

1765
04:05:06.879 --> 04:05:10.879
maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching for some reason.

1766
04:05:12.559 --> 04:05:18.799
It's then that I realize how much it does. You know,

1767
04:05:18.840 --> 04:05:24.840
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1768
04:05:26.559 --> 04:05:33.840
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's

1769
04:05:34.040 --> 04:05:42.479
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.

1770
04:05:46.520 --> 04:05:51.200
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1771
04:05:51.239 --> 04:05:59.600
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude

1772
04:06:00.239 --> 04:06:02.920
and love to your knees for all that they do

1773
04:06:03.040 --> 04:06:16.120
for you, And you can still have that attention on

1774
04:06:16.200 --> 04:06:22.399
your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe

1775
04:06:22.639 --> 04:06:40.079
you've noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as you

1776
04:06:40.239 --> 04:06:45.600
focus now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins

1777
04:06:46.319 --> 04:06:52.040
and your calf muscles and the bones between your knees

1778
04:06:52.760 --> 04:07:00.600
and your feet incorporate, and of course your ankles so hortant.

1779
04:07:06.000 --> 04:07:10.639
You know, anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain

1780
04:07:10.719 --> 04:07:17.840
of an ankle knows how how much we take our

1781
04:07:17.920 --> 04:07:26.479
ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange in a

1782
04:07:26.520 --> 04:07:32.159
way when you think that you know Logically, our wrists

1783
04:07:32.280 --> 04:07:35.559
are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms,

1784
04:07:36.239 --> 04:07:39.719
which is okay, it doesn't I can't see any problem

1785
04:07:39.760 --> 04:07:44.719
with that because we're just picking stuff up. But our

1786
04:07:44.760 --> 04:07:50.639
ankles so much thinner than the rest of our legs,

1787
04:07:57.000 --> 04:08:01.760
and from a physics perspective, logical even it doesn't really

1788
04:08:01.799 --> 04:08:09.079
make sense that all this weight would ultimately be resting

1789
04:08:10.040 --> 04:08:20.079
on your ankles then leading to your feet. That thin area,

1790
04:08:21.239 --> 04:08:28.239
a thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work.

1791
04:08:30.319 --> 04:08:40.000
Supports us, supports our body for a lifetime, helps us

1792
04:08:40.520 --> 04:08:49.920
to balance, helps you to get around and be mobile.

1793
04:08:56.200 --> 04:09:04.239
And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger,

1794
04:09:04.399 --> 04:09:07.479
I couldn't see the point in calf muscles. It didn't

1795
04:09:07.479 --> 04:09:12.920
seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,

1796
04:09:13.600 --> 04:09:17.479
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course

1797
04:09:17.520 --> 04:09:21.719
that's not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever

1798
04:09:21.760 --> 04:09:33.719
we use our legs, and your shins there to protect

1799
04:09:35.639 --> 04:09:44.319
your lower legs, shaped in a way almost as a

1800
04:09:44.360 --> 04:09:57.760
protector for the bone, leading of course to your ankles

1801
04:10:00.079 --> 04:10:06.680
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on

1802
04:10:06.719 --> 04:10:08.920
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.

1803
04:10:10.760 --> 04:10:15.399
And I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet,

1804
04:10:15.479 --> 04:10:20.159
it probably focusing on them anyway, So maybe I should

1805
04:10:20.200 --> 04:10:26.200
focus on your feet a little bit. You can have

1806
04:10:26.319 --> 04:10:31.600
them in your awareness the same as you have your

1807
04:10:31.639 --> 04:10:35.920
thighs in your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing

1808
04:10:36.600 --> 04:10:41.399
on your thighs for a few minutes, we've been focusing

1809
04:10:41.479 --> 04:10:58.200
on your ankles, there's still that sensation of comfort in

1810
04:10:58.239 --> 04:10:59.440
your thighs.

1811
04:11:03.840 --> 04:11:08.000
And this that movement of energy.

1812
04:11:09.639 --> 04:11:16.719
Because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1813
04:11:16.760 --> 04:11:21.559
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1814
04:11:21.719 --> 04:11:35.079
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of

1815
04:11:35.120 --> 04:11:40.479
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1816
04:11:41.239 --> 04:11:53.399
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature.

1817
04:11:59.399 --> 04:11:59.959
And insight.

1818
04:12:00.040 --> 04:12:08.000
Hired your thighs, the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,

1819
04:12:08.120 --> 04:12:14.079
the ar trees. It's all this stuff that's inside your thighs.

1820
04:12:18.239 --> 04:12:21.440
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could

1821
04:12:21.440 --> 04:12:27.040
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and a message,

1822
04:12:29.200 --> 04:12:32.760
so you can message on the outside, of course, but

1823
04:12:32.840 --> 04:12:35.959
to be able to get deep into the muscles and

1824
04:12:36.040 --> 04:12:41.200
to be able to just message inside your thighs, message

1825
04:12:41.200 --> 04:12:43.760
in the bones of your leg.

1826
04:12:45.719 --> 04:12:46.399
Massage in.

1827
04:12:48.959 --> 04:12:59.520
All the veins and just gently healing your thighs, and

1828
04:12:59.639 --> 04:13:06.239
you could moved down message and inside your knees, just

1829
04:13:06.280 --> 04:13:13.040
a message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading

1830
04:13:13.079 --> 04:13:18.959
that healing energy deep into the joints of your knees.

1831
04:13:24.280 --> 04:13:25.200
Of course, there's.

1832
04:13:25.040 --> 04:13:28.959
The back of your your knee, you know, the inside

1833
04:13:29.120 --> 04:13:36.520
crease where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area.

1834
04:13:37.280 --> 04:13:41.680
Very it feels very nice when you stroke it. That

1835
04:13:41.799 --> 04:13:45.520
might be because it's an area that's not really touched

1836
04:13:45.680 --> 04:13:52.280
very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that crease

1837
04:13:54.360 --> 04:14:00.840
in your legs. It's almost like a part that has

1838
04:14:01.159 --> 04:14:11.920
a sensitivity which is a little bit different. Of course,

1839
04:14:11.959 --> 04:14:22.479
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

1840
04:14:23.319 --> 04:14:33.000
your fingers into that crease in your legs, that fold

1841
04:14:33.120 --> 04:14:37.280
in between your legs. You can just massage with your fingertips.

1842
04:14:38.440 --> 04:14:49.040
Imagine your fingertips going inside, massage in the muscle tissue.

1843
04:14:49.799 --> 04:14:54.200
You can of course feel the bones of your knees

1844
04:14:55.559 --> 04:15:06.079
heading through your fingertips, and then as you go down

1845
04:15:08.879 --> 04:15:11.719
to your calf muscles. Now that's the part i'd like

1846
04:15:11.799 --> 04:15:16.520
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1847
04:15:17.239 --> 04:15:26.200
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,

1848
04:15:27.760 --> 04:15:37.719
healing every part, and then doing the same for my shins,

1849
04:15:40.879 --> 04:15:47.799
massage in and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them,

1850
04:15:48.680 --> 04:15:52.879
healing in a loving way, because they deserve to be

1851
04:15:52.959 --> 04:16:00.639
treated as the precious bones that they are. Our legs

1852
04:16:00.639 --> 04:16:04.040
are so precious as in all the other parts of

1853
04:16:04.079 --> 04:16:12.280
our body, and more precious of amyture on the planet.

1854
04:16:20.799 --> 04:16:32.079
When you start to think about your legs in this way,

1855
04:16:33.399 --> 04:16:36.200
it can change your perspective.

1856
04:16:38.920 --> 04:16:40.280
It might sound a bit.

1857
04:16:43.159 --> 04:16:47.440
A bit silly to start with the idea of having

1858
04:16:48.280 --> 04:16:58.319
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1859
04:16:58.440 --> 04:17:02.440
to be able to put your hands in your thighs

1860
04:17:04.280 --> 04:17:10.760
and massage the muscles and the bones, and to get

1861
04:17:10.799 --> 04:17:20.200
your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just to show.

1862
04:17:21.440 --> 04:17:22.799
How much you care.

1863
04:17:25.840 --> 04:17:31.000
About your legs, how much you care for what your

1864
04:17:31.079 --> 04:17:43.159
legs do for you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles,

1865
04:17:45.040 --> 04:17:52.840
the strength of your ankles, considering how thin they are

1866
04:17:52.920 --> 04:17:56.760
compared to the rest of your legs, especially your thighs,

1867
04:18:00.440 --> 04:18:12.159
yet they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your

1868
04:18:12.239 --> 04:18:21.959
ankles are truly a gift because of what they do

1869
04:18:22.040 --> 04:18:33.840
for you, supporting all that weight. Regardless of how what

1870
04:18:34.000 --> 04:18:39.959
weight you are, even if you only ate stone, there's

1871
04:18:40.000 --> 04:18:46.760
still a lot of weight for these little ankles. Now,

1872
04:18:46.799 --> 04:18:54.600
I'm a lot heavier than eight stone double dot, yet

1873
04:18:54.639 --> 04:19:03.319
my ankles support my body all the time. H or

1874
04:19:03.399 --> 04:19:06.280
they do give off a sigh of relief when I

1875
04:19:06.399 --> 04:19:17.079
sit down. That's my whole legs do. My feet feet

1876
04:19:17.079 --> 04:19:42.319
also go and my toes clap. They're so happy. Your

1877
04:19:42.440 --> 04:19:51.840
legs really are amazing. And I know that talking about

1878
04:19:52.280 --> 04:19:58.159
talking about your legs is probably possibly among the most

1879
04:19:59.040 --> 04:20:03.479
most boring things. Have you ever heard anyone say? Possibly

1880
04:20:06.360 --> 04:20:13.079
there boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your

1881
04:20:13.200 --> 04:20:33.760
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, They

1882
04:20:33.840 --> 04:20:35.399
deserve to relax.

1883
04:20:36.760 --> 04:20:47.479
Deeply. They deserve to take some time out of the

1884
04:20:47.600 --> 04:21:18.760
day to just let go completely. The legs really can relax.

1885
04:21:26.319 --> 04:21:30.520
And because the legs are so such a most you know,

1886
04:21:30.719 --> 04:21:36.680
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1887
04:21:36.760 --> 04:21:44.000
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that

1888
04:21:47.680 --> 04:21:58.559
journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips

1889
04:22:00.200 --> 04:22:07.520
hips feel really loose, and also my lower back as well.

1890
04:22:09.520 --> 04:22:10.520
My lower back.

1891
04:22:10.479 --> 04:22:16.040
Really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting

1892
04:22:16.079 --> 04:22:22.079
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as

1893
04:22:22.120 --> 04:22:25.079
I'm aware that I'm doing, but it's almost as if

1894
04:22:25.159 --> 04:22:29.120
the muscles are just relaxed so much that there is

1895
04:22:29.200 --> 04:22:37.719
a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.

1896
04:22:54.040 --> 04:22:57.159
And I'm now going to count down from ten down

1897
04:22:57.200 --> 04:23:08.559
to one, and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed

1898
04:23:12.319 --> 04:23:54.239
ten nine eight seven six, five four three two one.

1899
04:23:54.799 --> 04:23:55.520
Relax.

1900
04:24:03.319 --> 04:24:07.159
So I'm just going to count down from five down

1901
04:24:07.200 --> 04:24:11.680
to one, and as a countdown, if you just focus

1902
04:24:11.760 --> 04:24:19.719
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1903
04:24:20.559 --> 04:24:28.600
how you feel in this moment as you hear the

1904
04:24:28.719 --> 04:24:36.840
numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent

1905
04:24:37.760 --> 04:24:46.840
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also

1906
04:24:49.079 --> 04:24:56.280
relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel. There's nothing

1907
04:24:56.959 --> 04:25:02.319
to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about,

1908
04:25:05.360 --> 04:25:54.360
starting with number five, four three two one. Now, as

1909
04:25:54.360 --> 04:26:09.360
you notice the gradual letting go the tension in your body,

1910
04:26:10.920 --> 04:26:16.719
you may also begin to notice and be aware of

1911
04:26:16.760 --> 04:26:25.799
how your mind is starting to slow down. This is

1912
04:26:25.879 --> 04:26:32.520
just a natural thing that happens. It's not really a

1913
04:26:32.639 --> 04:26:39.719
special procedure. It's just natural because as your body relaxes,

1914
04:26:39.879 --> 04:26:45.360
your mind also starts to relax. And the more your

1915
04:26:45.399 --> 04:26:48.680
mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's just a

1916
04:26:48.799 --> 04:27:01.399
continuous circle of relaxation. And is that halmness that comes

1917
04:27:01.520 --> 04:27:08.799
from relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background

1918
04:27:09.000 --> 04:27:15.159
sounds either your side, online, it's still.

1919
04:27:15.239 --> 04:27:19.639
Going to be quite calm.

1920
04:27:19.760 --> 04:27:22.440
You know, you haven't got the television on, there's no

1921
04:27:22.719 --> 04:27:26.959
music in the background unless you're listening to the recording.

1922
04:27:27.000 --> 04:27:34.440
With music, of course, you're very likely not going to

1923
04:27:34.479 --> 04:27:37.559
be sitting in a room with other people. Of course

1924
04:27:37.639 --> 04:27:42.159
you might be, but generally it's more ideal if you

1925
04:27:42.200 --> 04:27:53.159
can do this on your own, so no distractions, and

1926
04:27:53.200 --> 04:28:08.399
when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises. A

1927
04:28:08.559 --> 04:28:19.319
sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying to

1928
04:28:19.319 --> 04:28:30.280
build it up into something fantastical or something magical, this

1929
04:28:30.440 --> 04:28:43.040
is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish.

1930
04:28:43.200 --> 04:28:50.680
In fact, it's almost the sense of relaxing completely happens

1931
04:28:50.719 --> 04:28:55.559
really when you put no effort into it. It's not

1932
04:28:55.680 --> 04:29:04.239
something that you can really force, is something that happens naturally,

1933
04:29:07.159 --> 04:29:14.479
and part of the process of this recording and others

1934
04:29:16.000 --> 04:29:26.000
is simply two allow you to take advantage of this

1935
04:29:27.120 --> 04:29:43.360
space this time, to just let go, to just be here,

1936
04:29:44.680 --> 04:29:57.600
to be in tune with how you feel, yet with

1937
04:29:58.319 --> 04:30:10.159
the intention of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even

1938
04:30:11.799 --> 04:30:16.280
to fall asleep, depending on what it is that you

1939
04:30:17.319 --> 04:30:30.440
wish for yourself in this moment. As we know, relaxing

1940
04:30:32.120 --> 04:30:40.280
is the majority of the process of falling asleep. The

1941
04:30:40.319 --> 04:30:44.479
actual falling asleep part is the tiny bit at the end.

1942
04:30:47.840 --> 04:30:59.680
The deeper relaxed do you become, the easier you find

1943
04:31:01.200 --> 04:31:17.360
yourself drifting. You can also if you choose stay focused

1944
04:31:18.399 --> 04:31:36.079
on my voice and really enjoy the process of gradually

1945
04:31:41.600 --> 04:32:08.639
relaxing each muscle in your body effortlessly and just observing

1946
04:32:13.079 --> 04:32:34.399
the sensation of letting go completely. This time, I'm going

1947
04:32:34.520 --> 04:32:42.959
to count from six down to one, and you can

1948
04:32:43.079 --> 04:32:54.879
notice your mind calming down more with each number that

1949
04:32:55.040 --> 04:36:04.880
you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm and slow and peaceful, six, five, four, three, two, one,

1950
04:36:05.360 --> 04:36:15.000
being aware of how your mind has slowed right down,

1951
04:36:18.200 --> 04:36:41.639
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1952
04:36:41.880 --> 04:36:54.400
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,

1953
04:36:54.439 --> 04:37:03.639
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason and perhaps

1954
04:37:03.799 --> 04:37:18.799
need your attention. So what you can do is send

1955
04:37:19.000 --> 04:37:32.799
love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love, like

1956
04:37:32.959 --> 04:37:38.119
all petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

1957
04:37:38.400 --> 04:37:45.720
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those

1958
04:37:45.759 --> 04:37:52.319
thoughts know that you're not abandoned in them. You just

1959
04:37:52.680 --> 04:37:58.799
need them. You require them to just.

1960
04:37:58.919 --> 04:38:06.759
Calm down, slow down, quiet down.

1961
04:38:10.040 --> 04:38:10.599
For now.

1962
04:38:18.319 --> 04:38:23.360
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts, as we

1963
04:38:23.520 --> 04:38:28.759
count down this time from seven down to one. With

1964
04:38:28.880 --> 04:38:44.360
each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

1965
04:38:44.360 --> 04:38:56.279
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1966
04:38:57.639 --> 04:39:12.720
melt away and relaxed deeply. With every number, those thoughts

1967
04:39:12.799 --> 04:41:53.639
would become more and more relaxed, starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, two.

1968
04:41:39.200 --> 04:41:57.319
One. And is it now?

1969
04:42:01.400 --> 04:42:22.599
Notice how relaxed your feeling in your body. We're going

1970
04:42:22.720 --> 04:42:36.439
to focus on your hands, because the more relaxed your

1971
04:42:36.599 --> 04:42:44.759
hands are, the more relaxed your body and mind are.

1972
04:42:58.639 --> 04:43:10.240
This you focus on your hands and your fingers there's

1973
04:43:10.279 --> 04:43:15.639
nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists

1974
04:43:15.919 --> 04:43:27.119
or tents in the fingers or anything like that. It's

1975
04:43:27.279 --> 04:43:41.880
just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

1976
04:43:56.479 --> 04:44:07.080
Because the more lasted your hands feel, the calmer your

1977
04:44:07.200 --> 04:44:19.119
mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout your body.

1978
04:44:25.040 --> 04:44:59.319
You may have already noticed your mind is starting to dressed,

1979
04:45:12.799 --> 04:45:28.279
facing just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to

1980
04:45:30.759 --> 04:45:42.319
experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands

1981
04:45:42.360 --> 04:45:44.000
and fingers.

1982
04:45:49.200 --> 04:46:09.159
More and more relaxed. With each knocking number from eight.

1983
04:46:11.319 --> 04:46:23.599
Down to one, you can almost feel that healing and

1984
04:46:23.680 --> 04:46:43.880
relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming.

1985
04:46:39.799 --> 04:46:41.759
Year more.

1986
04:46:43.279 --> 04:46:49.240
Relaxing with each number.

1987
04:46:51.200 --> 04:46:56.959
You hear, going down.

1988
04:46:58.159 --> 04:47:17.279
From eight down to one, drifting, drifting again, starting.

1989
04:47:16.880 --> 04:47:23.080
With number.

1990
04:47:29.040 --> 04:51:19.680
Eighth, seven, six, five, four, three foo, just being here now,

1991
04:51:22.279 --> 04:51:28.400
nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,

1992
04:51:32.520 --> 04:51:43.680
and everything just feels calmer. And this is your natural

1993
04:51:43.799 --> 04:51:51.759
state of being. This is how you just normally feel

1994
04:51:52.479 --> 04:52:00.919
when you take away all that other stuff that we add,

1995
04:52:02.080 --> 04:52:13.759
you know, things like stress and worrying and overthinking and anxiety, tension,

1996
04:52:18.000 --> 04:52:23.759
just generally thinking about stuff when you take that away,

1997
04:52:24.720 --> 04:52:33.799
which is what we do. What we do now, you're

1998
04:52:33.919 --> 04:52:45.159
left with a real sense of peacefulness which comes to

1999
04:52:45.200 --> 04:52:58.799
you very quickly, because ultimately it's just a feeling, a

2000
04:52:59.040 --> 04:53:07.159
feeling of comfort. It's almost as if you've gone inside

2001
04:53:07.200 --> 04:53:19.400
yourself and you've found a special place where everything is peaceful,

2002
04:53:22.319 --> 04:53:27.799
a place where you can feel relaxed and your natural

2003
04:53:29.840 --> 04:53:36.200
sense of comfort, a place where you can be you,

2004
04:53:40.880 --> 04:53:47.919
where you can accept yourself for who you are, a

2005
04:53:48.000 --> 04:53:54.599
place where you're not trying to please anybody else ever,

2006
04:53:58.520 --> 04:54:07.119
a place where you can actually not just love yourself,

2007
04:54:07.200 --> 04:54:12.720
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself

2008
04:54:15.159 --> 04:54:32.520
appreciate who you are. That sense of gratitude is in

2009
04:54:32.560 --> 04:54:43.720
the air all around you. That's also a place where

2010
04:54:43.759 --> 04:54:56.840
you can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.

2011
04:55:00.720 --> 04:55:12.159
Healing energy soaking into your body, and that healing energy

2012
04:55:12.520 --> 04:55:22.840
spreads through your veins, traveling to each and every single

2013
04:55:23.200 --> 04:55:33.720
part of your body, and you start to realize that

2014
04:55:33.919 --> 04:55:41.279
actually that healing energy, it's not just entered into your brain,

2015
04:55:44.080 --> 04:55:54.080
it's become part of your brain, and that spinal fluid

2016
04:55:56.200 --> 04:56:07.200
is now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you

2017
04:56:07.279 --> 04:56:15.319
to feel so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment.

2018
04:56:19.759 --> 04:56:29.240
But also you start to realize to actually, what's happening

2019
04:56:29.400 --> 04:56:39.319
now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body

2020
04:56:40.000 --> 04:56:50.759
is actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way

2021
04:56:50.799 --> 04:56:57.439
you're going to feel not just now, but tomorrow and

2022
04:56:57.520 --> 04:57:06.479
the next day. As your health improves, not just your

2023
04:57:06.560 --> 04:57:14.400
physical health, but your mental health. Things that used to

2024
04:57:14.479 --> 04:57:20.639
bother you in the past, for some reason, no longer

2025
04:57:21.919 --> 04:57:28.520
have the effect that they used to because something has

2026
04:57:28.919 --> 04:57:41.959
changed deep within you. Maybe things that used to cause

2027
04:57:42.080 --> 04:57:54.040
you to feel anger no longer have that power to

2028
04:57:54.200 --> 04:57:59.799
control you the way they seem to be able to before.

2029
04:58:03.520 --> 04:58:14.439
As you realize that you're the one who decides what

2030
04:58:14.639 --> 04:58:26.360
affects you, You're the one who decides to feel relaxed

2031
04:58:27.200 --> 04:58:31.720
and calm when you choose.

2032
04:58:34.799 --> 04:58:35.959
To enjoy.

2033
04:58:37.080 --> 04:58:52.680
Noticing these natural developments of healing continuing to grow and

2034
04:58:52.799 --> 04:59:04.200
improve your life day by day, including of course, your

2035
04:59:04.200 --> 04:59:21.520
ability to relax so much easier and sleeping. It is

2036
04:59:21.560 --> 04:59:31.919
the most natural thing in the world to you, because

2037
04:59:32.159 --> 04:59:39.360
falling asleep is something that you've done so many times

2038
04:59:41.040 --> 04:59:48.040
in your life, and you know that you were born

2039
04:59:48.159 --> 04:59:54.840
as we all were, with the ability to fall asleep naturally.

2040
04:59:59.040 --> 05:00:09.759
We were born with that ability to just drift off

2041
05:00:10.479 --> 05:00:23.639
into a deep, healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes

2042
05:00:23.680 --> 05:00:28.119
will fall asleep when we don't even want to try

2043
05:00:28.200 --> 05:00:32.479
to tell you stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in

2044
05:00:32.520 --> 05:00:36.680
the morning, or it's Christmas or holiday or something we

2045
05:00:36.840 --> 05:00:37.599
look forward to.

2046
05:00:38.040 --> 05:00:39.319
We don't want to go to sleep.

2047
05:00:41.520 --> 05:00:46.520
But the more we want to stay awake, the more

2048
05:00:46.720 --> 05:00:55.040
we just start to drift. And the more you fight drifting,

2049
05:00:55.720 --> 05:00:58.560
the more you try to stop yourself and drift in asleep,

2050
05:01:00.720 --> 05:01:11.799
the deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born

2051
05:01:12.759 --> 05:01:18.639
not just with the need to relax deeply and to

2052
05:01:18.759 --> 05:01:28.680
naturally fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of

2053
05:01:28.720 --> 05:01:40.400
our DNA. And sometimes as we get older in life,

2054
05:01:40.720 --> 05:01:54.319
perhaps at times we have forgotten that relaxing completely is

2055
05:01:54.400 --> 05:02:16.319
not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

2056
05:02:18.840 --> 05:02:26.400
It's very very easy to let go, because that's all

2057
05:02:26.400 --> 05:02:26.840
it is.

2058
05:02:26.880 --> 05:02:27.439
It's just.

2059
05:02:30.880 --> 05:02:42.319
Deciding to let go. And when you press the play

2060
05:02:42.400 --> 05:02:52.680
button on my recordings, you have given permission for my

2061
05:02:52.919 --> 05:03:01.040
voice to relax you. When you press that play button,

2062
05:03:02.000 --> 05:03:07.159
you've given me permission for my words.

2063
05:03:09.720 --> 05:03:11.000
To affect.

2064
05:03:12.959 --> 05:03:24.840
You in a positive, only a positive way, opening up

2065
05:03:30.000 --> 05:03:37.560
your mind too useful.

2066
05:03:38.479 --> 05:03:41.040
And healing.

2067
05:03:42.119 --> 05:03:58.240
Suggestions that can have such an amazing effect on how

2068
05:03:58.319 --> 05:04:10.439
you feel right now, as well as those changes that

2069
05:04:10.720 --> 05:04:20.759
continue long after the recording ends. Those changes within you

2070
05:04:23.599 --> 05:04:36.880
to continue to flourish and grow, transforming your life in

2071
05:04:36.919 --> 05:04:48.919
a positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in

2072
05:04:48.959 --> 05:04:55.599
your life in the direction that you choose for yourself.

2073
05:05:04.560 --> 05:05:16.639
And this feeling, this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,

2074
05:05:24.360 --> 05:05:38.360
This feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

2075
05:05:46.200 --> 05:06:02.040
and that positivity grows within you each and every day.

2076
05:06:03.080 --> 05:06:12.880
Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed

2077
05:06:15.200 --> 05:06:27.560
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's

2078
05:06:27.639 --> 05:06:33.200
not that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind

2079
05:06:33.279 --> 05:06:45.159
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from

2080
05:06:45.240 --> 05:06:55.520
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're

2081
05:06:55.560 --> 05:07:06.439
going to start noticing when negativity arises and you can

2082
05:07:06.560 --> 05:07:20.599
just say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn around

2083
05:07:21.119 --> 05:07:40.560
and leave you alone. Stop and that negativity will disappear.

2084
05:07:48.639 --> 05:07:55.159
And as you notice that, you feel way more relaxed

2085
05:07:56.560 --> 05:07:58.479
than you probably expected.

2086
05:08:04.639 --> 05:08:05.880
You can now.

2087
05:08:09.159 --> 05:08:15.119
Congratulate yourself because you're the person that has done this.

2088
05:08:16.759 --> 05:08:22.279
You are the one that has opened your mind up

2089
05:08:22.919 --> 05:08:31.000
to the simple facts that you can feel more relaxed

2090
05:08:31.080 --> 05:08:40.759
in your body and in your mind. You've opened your

2091
05:08:40.880 --> 05:08:46.400
mind up to the birthright of being able to just

2092
05:08:49.040 --> 05:09:03.919
fall asleep easily when you choose. And that's a nice feeling.

2093
05:09:05.479 --> 05:09:13.119
Don't you think it feels nice? Doesn't it?

2094
05:09:13.159 --> 05:09:17.080
To feel calm?

2095
05:09:17.240 --> 05:09:21.880
All that healing energy is spreading through your body and

2096
05:09:21.959 --> 05:09:34.279
your mind to spend time in a special place where

2097
05:09:37.159 --> 05:09:50.840
negativity can no longer enter. Negativity is banned. It's bad,

2098
05:09:52.240 --> 05:09:59.000
it's not allowed entry. Doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve

2099
05:09:59.080 --> 05:10:07.360
to be here, doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place

2100
05:10:08.319 --> 05:10:25.159
in your life. Which makes room feel more comfort, more heathing,

2101
05:10:27.279 --> 05:10:34.279
more relaxation, more peace.

2102
05:10:51.159 --> 05:10:58.840
It feels nice, doesn't it? Just let go.

2103
05:11:00.560 --> 05:11:20.479
With everything. I'm going to count down now from twenty.

2104
05:11:20.240 --> 05:11:23.279
Down to one.

2105
05:11:24.400 --> 05:11:31.439
You can continue to relax. If you choose, you can

2106
05:11:34.119 --> 05:11:44.599
drift to sleep. With every number you hear me say,

2107
05:11:48.919 --> 05:11:56.319
you can fill twice as relaxed, or if you choose,

2108
05:11:56.439 --> 05:14:11.880
you can feel twice a sleepy. Now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, tteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

2109
05:14:20.279 --> 05:15:09.919
five four. This is your time to just take a break,

2110
05:15:10.759 --> 05:15:21.840
your time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,

2111
05:15:30.479 --> 05:15:44.599
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything.

2112
05:15:49.319 --> 05:15:53.799
And you're the only person that can make that decision.

2113
05:15:56.639 --> 05:15:59.400
You're the only person that can actually tell your mind

2114
05:16:04.159 --> 05:16:28.560
to just relax, to just take some time off so

2115
05:16:28.599 --> 05:16:33.479
that you can focus on your body, getting in touch

2116
05:16:33.720 --> 05:16:48.599
with how you feel physically. And in the process of

2117
05:16:51.200 --> 05:16:56.000
this body scan, where you focus on different parts of

2118
05:16:56.040 --> 05:17:06.840
your body, those parts that you focus on and observe,

2119
05:17:09.799 --> 05:17:18.159
even though you're not purposely requesting for those parts of

2120
05:17:18.200 --> 05:17:25.799
your body to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect

2121
05:17:27.119 --> 05:17:34.799
when you listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally,

2122
05:17:40.279 --> 05:17:48.759
because when you're listening to me, your attention is focused

2123
05:17:50.439 --> 05:18:01.680
on my words, and as my words guide you to

2124
05:18:01.799 --> 05:18:14.200
focus on those parts of your body, your focus increases,

2125
05:18:21.279 --> 05:18:38.680
which actually calms your mind. And when your mind calms down,

2126
05:18:42.520 --> 05:19:04.639
your body relaxes. And when your body calms down, your

2127
05:19:04.759 --> 05:19:21.639
mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started the

2128
05:19:21.759 --> 05:19:34.479
focus on your body, you can already feel that healing

2129
05:19:34.680 --> 05:19:49.200
energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,

2130
05:19:53.279 --> 05:20:00.599
healing all the parts of your body, including your skin,

2131
05:20:01.759 --> 05:20:08.720
your bones, your blood, all of your organs inside your body,

2132
05:20:10.080 --> 05:20:16.880
all of the muscles, all of the fat, all of everything,

2133
05:20:18.680 --> 05:20:31.680
every hair on your body is filled with that healing energy.

2134
05:20:32.880 --> 05:20:34.200
And when your brain.

2135
05:20:38.520 --> 05:20:51.799
Fills with that healing energy, the feeling of comfort and

2136
05:20:51.880 --> 05:21:17.599
relaxation increases deeply, increases in a way that in your

2137
05:21:17.720 --> 05:21:35.159
mind starts to feel perhaps bit drowsy because it's not needed,

2138
05:21:38.520 --> 05:21:54.840
and it may start to drift if that's what's needed.

2139
05:21:57.959 --> 05:22:02.720
So if you're listening to this and what you need

2140
05:22:02.799 --> 05:22:05.919
is deep relaxation, that's what you'll get.

2141
05:22:08.040 --> 05:22:12.880
If what you need is to fall asleep.

2142
05:22:14.119 --> 05:22:23.159
Naturally and easily as your mind drifts, that's also what

2143
05:22:23.200 --> 05:22:36.159
will happen. Because by pressing that play button on the

2144
05:22:36.279 --> 05:22:43.119
podcast and listening to me, you give permission for your

2145
05:22:43.159 --> 05:22:54.200
body and your mind. In fact, you give the command

2146
05:22:55.599 --> 05:23:06.560
to your body and your mind to relax deeply and

2147
05:23:06.680 --> 05:23:12.479
to drift off to sleep if that's what you want

2148
05:23:15.919 --> 05:23:28.360
or need. And as I focus on the different parts

2149
05:23:28.720 --> 05:23:42.880
of your body, you may start to just drift and

2150
05:23:42.919 --> 05:23:46.680
then you come back again and you hear me talking,

2151
05:23:47.040 --> 05:23:56.919
and I'm focusing on a different part of your body.

2152
05:23:56.959 --> 05:24:05.880
You may find yourself drifting, but you don't realize you're

2153
05:24:05.959 --> 05:24:14.200
drifting until you stop drifting and you're alert again to

2154
05:24:14.319 --> 05:24:20.360
my voice focusing on a different part of your body,

2155
05:24:21.599 --> 05:24:32.159
starts to relax even deeper, because that drifting is basically

2156
05:24:32.319 --> 05:24:44.680
you already in the sleep zone. And the more you drift,

2157
05:24:45.439 --> 05:24:53.639
the longer you drift, and the longer you drift, eventually

2158
05:24:55.360 --> 05:25:05.279
that drifting continues into sleep, and that's the last you

2159
05:25:05.360 --> 05:25:15.959
remember until you wake up in your own time. When

2160
05:25:16.040 --> 05:25:24.799
you experience the right amount of sleep. Fear, because when

2161
05:25:24.840 --> 05:25:34.240
you do, and if you do fall asleep, it's extremely pleasant.

2162
05:25:36.919 --> 05:25:44.240
So relaxing, so deep healing.

2163
05:25:46.159 --> 05:25:46.560
Sleep.

2164
05:25:56.360 --> 05:26:03.680
I'm going to feel so nice to relax into your

2165
05:26:03.759 --> 05:26:11.240
own body and mind as you as you feel that

2166
05:26:12.360 --> 05:26:25.919
heating energy is spreading through you, relaxing, use so deeply, relaxing,

2167
05:26:26.200 --> 05:26:43.119
use so so deeply. As we start to focus on

2168
05:26:43.159 --> 05:27:05.840
your eyes, moving down to your jaw, down to your neck,

2169
05:27:13.319 --> 05:28:01.599
your shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, your chest, your stomach, you back,

2170
05:28:08.119 --> 05:28:45.880
your spine, your hips, your legs, your feet, your chays

2171
05:29:02.759 --> 05:29:16.840
and feelingeings spreading and growing inside your body, filling you up.

2172
05:29:19.639 --> 05:29:33.159
Now let's focus again on parts of your body, focusing

2173
05:29:33.319 --> 05:29:44.360
this time on your forehead. Now on your mouth, your lips,

2174
05:29:46.319 --> 05:30:05.520
your tongue, the whole of your mouth. Focus in on

2175
05:30:05.560 --> 05:30:15.639
your fingers. Maybe you could move your fingers a little

2176
05:30:15.680 --> 05:30:27.560
bit so you can focus on each one individually, both hands,

2177
05:30:31.560 --> 05:30:34.040
and even though as you focus on both of.

2178
05:30:34.000 --> 05:30:36.159
Your hands now.

2179
05:30:37.400 --> 05:30:45.639
They almost seem to just melt into one, where there

2180
05:30:45.680 --> 05:30:51.400
is your right hand start and your left hand end,

2181
05:30:52.759 --> 05:31:04.479
it's almost as if just mixed together. Now focusing on

2182
05:31:04.520 --> 05:31:32.520
your knees, just noticing how your knees feel. Now, focusing

2183
05:31:33.040 --> 05:31:47.319
on your elbows, focusing on both of your elbows, just observing.

2184
05:31:48.479 --> 05:31:53.000
The feeling of your elbows.

2185
05:32:17.040 --> 05:32:35.200
Now focusing and absurving the back of your neck, feeling the.

2186
05:32:35.040 --> 05:32:39.200
Energy on the back of your neck.

2187
05:33:10.520 --> 05:33:33.119
Observing your ankles, being aware of physical sensations in your ankles.

2188
05:34:33.119 --> 05:34:44.599
Noticing now your toes on both of your.

2189
05:34:44.439 --> 05:34:53.159
Feet, being aware.

2190
05:34:54.599 --> 05:34:58.599
How your toes.

2191
05:35:00.599 --> 05:35:51.520
Fear right now.

2192
05:35:36.279 --> 05:36:14.520
Ninety then high entire body fails, noticing your mind feels

2193
05:36:18.279 --> 05:37:16.240
now letting go, letting go, letting go everything, letting go,

2194
05:37:17.919 --> 05:37:52.840
letting go, letting go everything everything. I'm going to start now,

2195
05:37:54.439 --> 05:37:56.360
and I would like you just, first of all, just

2196
05:37:56.360 --> 05:38:04.479
to see yourself lying down on that message table, lying

2197
05:38:04.520 --> 05:38:12.680
on your front. Your head is supported, your arms are supported,

2198
05:38:14.159 --> 05:38:20.479
and you feel comfortable and breathing. It's really easy, and

2199
05:38:20.560 --> 05:38:27.479
you feel you feel confident in how you look as well.

2200
05:38:27.520 --> 05:38:32.400
So there's none of that issue of body problems or shyness,

2201
05:38:33.080 --> 05:38:41.240
because I'm a professional and this is a therapy session,

2202
05:38:42.000 --> 05:38:45.319
so none of that stuff matters whatsoever.

2203
05:38:49.119 --> 05:38:54.000
This is about you. This is about.

2204
05:38:53.840 --> 05:39:02.000
How you feel and how you can joy that sense

2205
05:39:02.040 --> 05:39:08.200
of comfort and relaxation that comes from letting go and

2206
05:39:08.279 --> 05:39:16.439
allowing my hands and my fingers to relax you by

2207
05:39:16.439 --> 05:39:25.000
a message your body. So I want to start off

2208
05:39:25.159 --> 05:39:30.119
just by placing my hands on the back of your head,

2209
05:39:31.520 --> 05:39:37.119
just gently, just you can feel what my hands feel like.

2210
05:39:37.200 --> 05:39:38.159
Really on you.

2211
05:39:42.560 --> 05:39:44.959
So you can maybe feel the warmth of my hands

2212
05:39:45.000 --> 05:39:50.479
on the back of your head. With my hands to

2213
05:39:50.520 --> 05:39:54.520
the side of your head, not pressing, but just holding

2214
05:39:54.520 --> 05:40:00.720
there very gently, maybe over your ears, and a little

2215
05:40:00.720 --> 05:40:06.159
bit on your face, just so you can feel my hands.

2216
05:40:07.599 --> 05:40:09.799
So you can become accustomed.

2217
05:40:10.720 --> 05:40:21.680
To them. And now put my hands on the back

2218
05:40:21.720 --> 05:40:27.639
of your head again and gently let them slide down

2219
05:40:29.080 --> 05:40:38.639
onto the back of your neck. You can feel my

2220
05:40:38.840 --> 05:40:48.599
hands gently stroke in the back of your neck to

2221
05:40:48.639 --> 05:40:56.799
start with, just so you can get used to the

2222
05:40:57.000 --> 05:41:00.439
feeling of my hands on your skin, get a custom

2223
05:41:00.560 --> 05:41:08.720
to realize that you're safe and it's all good, it's

2224
05:41:08.799 --> 05:41:18.959
all fine, and I'm going to start gently massaging the

2225
05:41:19.119 --> 05:41:35.799
muscles in the back of your neck with both hands. Now,

2226
05:41:35.799 --> 05:41:42.119
this is a very trusting situation, really, because our necks

2227
05:41:42.119 --> 05:41:46.599
are so fragile and to have someone have their hands

2228
05:41:47.119 --> 05:41:52.159
around your neck in that way can sometimes be problematic

2229
05:41:52.240 --> 05:41:57.799
for people, which is why massages are quite good, because

2230
05:41:57.840 --> 05:42:06.439
it allows you to relax and to get in touch

2231
05:42:06.639 --> 05:42:23.560
with trust, to feel peaceful and calm. And there's a

2232
05:42:23.639 --> 05:42:32.400
massage the sides of your neck, gently moving from the

2233
05:42:32.439 --> 05:42:36.279
bottom of your neck. It would be sort of near

2234
05:42:36.319 --> 05:42:39.680
where your shoulders start, I guess, all the way up

2235
05:42:41.680 --> 05:42:47.159
to your jaw, your ears, kind of area that side

2236
05:42:47.159 --> 05:42:52.240
of your neck. Of course, it's a lot longer than

2237
05:42:52.560 --> 05:43:08.599
the front of your neck. The message in the back

2238
05:43:08.639 --> 05:43:17.319
of your neck, especially that area where perhaps we hold tension,

2239
05:43:21.520 --> 05:43:26.080
and as that area's message, you can actually feel a

2240
05:43:26.200 --> 05:43:34.159
sense of release in the back of your neck and

2241
05:43:34.319 --> 05:43:39.639
maybe you can breathe it out as well. Notice how

2242
05:43:39.680 --> 05:43:52.720
it feels, Notice how you feel. And then moving down

2243
05:43:52.880 --> 05:43:57.680
to that area between your neck and your shoulders, that

2244
05:43:57.799 --> 05:44:06.439
muscle area, starting to message that area on both sides.

2245
05:44:08.599 --> 05:44:10.840
I mean, this would be the area that a lot

2246
05:44:10.840 --> 05:44:13.040
of people would message if they were going to give

2247
05:44:13.080 --> 05:44:16.599
you like a shoulder message.

2248
05:44:16.959 --> 05:44:18.040
Even that's not.

2249
05:44:18.119 --> 05:44:21.680
Technically the shoulders, but it's all the muscles that lead

2250
05:44:21.720 --> 05:44:23.319
to the shoulders.

2251
05:44:24.360 --> 05:44:25.240
From the neck.

2252
05:44:27.080 --> 05:44:32.680
And again that can hold tension and stress, and when

2253
05:44:32.720 --> 05:44:40.680
massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful. And you

2254
05:44:40.880 --> 05:44:58.159
decide how deep that message is, and just allow my

2255
05:44:58.279 --> 05:45:03.959
knuckles to to dig in to get to those muscles

2256
05:45:04.040 --> 05:45:14.400
and to really relaxed all the time being firm yet

2257
05:45:14.799 --> 05:45:34.119
gentle with you and just stroking down that area to

2258
05:45:34.240 --> 05:45:46.799
your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of your shoulders.

2259
05:45:46.200 --> 05:45:47.759
And maybe initially just.

2260
05:45:49.200 --> 05:45:52.119
Pulling up the shoulders a little bit off the table,

2261
05:45:53.479 --> 05:45:55.439
just to give you a little bit of a stretch,

2262
05:45:57.159 --> 05:46:05.880
but very gently. And you've got the muscles at the

2263
05:46:05.919 --> 05:46:08.880
front of your shoulders, the sides and.

2264
05:46:08.959 --> 05:46:09.599
The back.

2265
05:46:17.520 --> 05:46:21.919
Again, this is a part that can really take quite

2266
05:46:21.959 --> 05:46:29.759
a bit of pressure, quite a bit of needing if

2267
05:46:30.119 --> 05:46:38.040
if you wish to really release the tension to really

2268
05:46:38.080 --> 05:46:44.479
get into those muscles, and you can let your fingers

2269
05:46:44.560 --> 05:46:50.919
in there. They can feel really nice. Sometimes just being

2270
05:46:51.119 --> 05:47:01.439
stroked gently or being massaged quite strongly, it can all

2271
05:47:01.479 --> 05:47:11.919
be beneficial to the relaxation of the muscles in your shoulders.

2272
05:47:21.799 --> 05:47:31.639
Now you move down your arms. We do one arm

2273
05:47:31.680 --> 05:47:42.080
at a time, starting with your right arm. My ideas

2274
05:47:42.240 --> 05:47:47.000
I just lift your arm up, just hold it to the.

2275
05:47:46.880 --> 05:47:47.479
Side of you.

2276
05:47:50.599 --> 05:47:55.479
By way it still be attached, and I just message

2277
05:47:56.919 --> 05:48:09.720
the tops of your arms all the way down to

2278
05:48:09.799 --> 05:48:36.759
your forearms into your wrists, gently massaging that parts, the

2279
05:48:36.799 --> 05:48:40.279
softer part which is the under part of the arm,

2280
05:48:43.360 --> 05:48:47.400
which leads to the crease in your elbow. The inside.

2281
05:48:48.520 --> 05:49:03.400
It's much more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked

2282
05:49:05.959 --> 05:49:21.680
can feel really nice, pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down

2283
05:49:23.040 --> 05:49:35.439
to your right hand, just holding your hand in both

2284
05:49:35.479 --> 05:49:45.119
of my hands, just pressing gently on the back of

2285
05:49:45.159 --> 05:49:56.080
your hand and stretching your fingers ever so lightly at

2286
05:49:56.080 --> 05:50:10.959
the same time pressing down message in each finger, and

2287
05:50:11.000 --> 05:50:21.680
then starting to massage the palms of the hand. Just

2288
05:50:21.880 --> 05:50:33.000
turning the hand gently stretching it gently and actually having

2289
05:50:33.080 --> 05:50:40.319
your hand held can really be an emotional experience sometimes

2290
05:50:41.279 --> 05:50:46.119
even if it is a stranger, someone you don't know

2291
05:50:46.360 --> 05:50:53.439
very well, like a massage person or a therapist, maybe

2292
05:50:53.720 --> 05:51:06.400
because it's intimate and you can feel nice and you

2293
05:51:06.439 --> 05:51:17.080
can feel safe. And as I put that right arm

2294
05:51:17.240 --> 05:51:25.439
back down where it was, we did the same with

2295
05:51:25.520 --> 05:51:38.200
your left arm, exactly the same. Massage in the muscles.

2296
05:51:38.799 --> 05:51:40.840
In your arm all the way down.

2297
05:51:42.000 --> 05:51:48.639
Do you rest, stroking the inside of your.

2298
05:51:48.599 --> 05:51:59.119
Arm, just being gentle or as firm as you require,

2299
05:52:07.680 --> 05:52:21.000
and then massaging your left hand, stretching the fingers, gently

2300
05:52:23.520 --> 05:52:39.439
massaging the palm of your left hand, and you can

2301
05:52:39.599 --> 05:53:08.159
feel so so relaxing, so comforting, and just rest your

2302
05:53:08.240 --> 05:53:22.240
left arm back down. Start to massage your back, the

2303
05:53:22.319 --> 05:53:33.919
biggest part of your body, starting at the top, starting

2304
05:53:33.959 --> 05:53:37.520
again where we already have been, the area at the

2305
05:53:37.560 --> 05:53:40.119
top in between his shoulders.

2306
05:53:41.040 --> 05:53:41.840
And near your neck.

2307
05:53:43.560 --> 05:53:48.040
Going back, a massage in that area again, but this

2308
05:53:48.360 --> 05:53:58.799
time moving downwards, taking a downward stroke.

2309
05:54:01.400 --> 05:54:02.080
To the middle of.

2310
05:54:02.080 --> 05:54:10.240
Your back, working from the outside inwards. It's a massage

2311
05:54:10.279 --> 05:54:17.599
in the your back, but the the outsides of your back,

2312
05:54:21.720 --> 05:54:35.360
the parts where your arms would maybe rest against almost

2313
05:54:37.439 --> 05:54:49.639
the part that connects your front to your back, and

2314
05:54:49.919 --> 05:54:51.759
just massaging down.

2315
05:54:53.599 --> 05:54:58.159
Firmly but gently, as firm as.

2316
05:54:58.080 --> 05:55:05.840
You want, moving down, and then moving across a little

2317
05:55:05.880 --> 05:55:09.560
bed and moving all the way down again, being very

2318
05:55:09.639 --> 05:55:22.319
gentle yet firm as you choose. Eventually we get to

2319
05:55:22.360 --> 05:55:27.799
the spine. We can message the muscles on either side

2320
05:55:27.840 --> 05:55:31.479
of your spine from the top of your neck all

2321
05:55:31.680 --> 05:55:43.000
the way down to your lower back. We can do

2322
05:55:43.040 --> 05:55:53.200
that a few times. Sometimes people use the knuckle or

2323
05:55:53.240 --> 05:55:59.799
the two fingers and just go your side of the spine,

2324
05:56:00.279 --> 05:56:03.919
almost just pushed down and go all the way down

2325
05:56:03.959 --> 05:56:11.319
to the bottom of the spine, each time releasing tension

2326
05:56:12.000 --> 05:56:21.240
and opening up the body, stretching your body so that

2327
05:56:21.319 --> 05:56:38.000
you feel more relaxed but at the same time rejuvenated.

2328
05:56:39.799 --> 05:56:43.119
And now I'm going to move to one side, to

2329
05:56:43.200 --> 05:56:50.639
your right side, and from the bottom of your ribs

2330
05:56:52.439 --> 05:56:58.040
to your pelvis, I'm going to massage that area of

2331
05:56:58.159 --> 05:57:03.159
your back. I'll stretch over the other side and i

2332
05:57:03.159 --> 05:57:09.799
will pull the muscles gently and massage and push from

2333
05:57:09.840 --> 05:57:14.759
one end that side or way to my side to

2334
05:57:14.840 --> 05:57:19.560
the middle of fact to where your spine is. Massage

2335
05:57:19.560 --> 05:57:24.639
in that side of your spine the opposite side to

2336
05:57:24.680 --> 05:57:32.599
where I'm standing. It's almost like kneading bread. There's that

2337
05:57:32.720 --> 05:57:43.919
big area which is firm yet lots there to massage.

2338
05:57:44.840 --> 05:57:49.279
Potentially one of the most important places to actually have

2339
05:57:49.680 --> 05:57:57.119
a massage because you really feel it. You really feel

2340
05:57:57.279 --> 05:58:02.680
the release and the pleasure of having your lower back massaged.

2341
05:58:05.799 --> 05:58:11.599
It releases so much from your body that's not useful,

2342
05:58:14.680 --> 05:58:20.279
starting a healing process which will continue long after this

2343
05:58:20.479 --> 05:58:32.560
recording is over. The message in this part of your

2344
05:58:32.599 --> 05:58:38.080
body not only feels really good for you, it's actually

2345
05:58:38.119 --> 05:58:42.159
fun to do because it is, as I said, like

2346
05:58:42.319 --> 05:58:47.479
kneading bread. It's a part that you can really get

2347
05:58:47.680 --> 05:59:02.360
hold of and really massage deeply. If that's your choice,

2348
05:59:03.080 --> 05:59:04.959
then I'm going to move over to the other side

2349
05:59:05.000 --> 05:59:11.520
of your body and do the same with the opposite

2350
05:59:11.599 --> 05:59:20.959
part of your lower back, kneading and messaging from your

2351
05:59:21.080 --> 05:59:27.759
sides all the way to the middle of your back

2352
05:59:28.319 --> 05:59:41.959
where your spine is pressing and kneading firm and gentle

2353
05:59:42.080 --> 05:59:51.959
at the same time. It feels so releasing. This mixture

2354
05:59:52.000 --> 06:00:07.439
of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation or mixed together. Plus

2355
06:00:07.479 --> 06:00:11.919
there's that feeling from your stomach as it's being stretched.

2356
06:00:13.759 --> 06:00:15.680
Even though you're in your stomach.

2357
06:00:15.319 --> 06:00:19.560
Now you can feel it being stretched because that whole

2358
06:00:19.599 --> 06:00:30.720
area is connected to your stomach. Now we're going to

2359
06:00:30.840 --> 06:00:36.240
move or move further up to your top of your body,

2360
06:00:36.799 --> 06:00:44.439
and I we do the same this time, starting with

2361
06:00:44.520 --> 06:00:50.000
your upper back. Put my hands forward over and mess

2362
06:00:50.040 --> 06:00:57.159
it massage in that area up to your spine, from

2363
06:00:57.200 --> 06:01:01.400
the side of your body up to your spine. So

2364
06:01:01.520 --> 06:01:07.840
some of that massage area, the muscle tissue or whatever

2365
06:01:08.040 --> 06:01:13.639
fatty tissue even will be possibly from your chest because

2366
06:01:13.799 --> 06:01:20.799
all connected the chest and the back connect together. I'm

2367
06:01:20.840 --> 06:01:24.040
going to be massaging and just pulling some of that

2368
06:01:24.279 --> 06:01:35.000
skin from your side up and massaging that area of

2369
06:01:35.080 --> 06:01:43.599
your upper back all the way to your spine. And

2370
06:01:43.680 --> 06:01:46.400
then I'll move down a bit and I'll continue with

2371
06:01:46.520 --> 06:01:49.400
the middle of your back, doing exactly the same thing

2372
06:01:53.279 --> 06:01:57.040
as gentle or as deep.

2373
06:01:56.759 --> 06:02:00.319
As you choose mhm.

2374
06:02:06.319 --> 06:02:10.439
Now I'll move the other side again and do the

2375
06:02:10.520 --> 06:02:14.759
exact same thing with the top of your back on

2376
06:02:14.840 --> 06:02:24.119
the other side, from pretty much underneath your arm area

2377
06:02:24.240 --> 06:02:39.400
really to your spine, and then continue in that all

2378
06:02:39.439 --> 06:02:44.520
the way down including your lower your middle of your back.

2379
06:02:58.200 --> 06:03:03.520
I'm gonna go to your thighs, the backs of your thighs,

2380
06:03:06.040 --> 06:03:13.479
and the sides of your thighs, Starting with your right leg,

2381
06:03:15.759 --> 06:03:23.319
massage in the back and the sides of your thighs

2382
06:03:25.599 --> 06:03:32.040
gently and firmly. There's a lot of muscles there. It's

2383
06:03:32.080 --> 06:03:35.360
an area that can be very tense at times and

2384
06:03:35.520 --> 06:03:38.919
maybe needs a little bit more pressure than the rest

2385
06:03:38.919 --> 06:03:47.119
of the body. That's up to you. You can gently

2386
06:03:47.240 --> 06:03:54.520
stroke the back of your legs where you know, opposite

2387
06:03:54.599 --> 06:04:00.000
your knee joint or underneath your knee joint, very sensitive,

2388
06:04:00.080 --> 06:04:13.040
the gentle area. And then working down to your calf muscles.

2389
06:04:15.919 --> 06:04:22.400
Massage in your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose,

2390
06:04:25.799 --> 06:04:42.720
using both hands and fingers, digging deep to your ankles,

2391
06:04:44.959 --> 06:04:50.639
in the back of your back of your ankles, just

2392
06:04:50.919 --> 06:05:02.720
gently massage in that area, maybe lifting the leg and

2393
06:05:03.360 --> 06:05:26.680
stretching a little bit. Moving to the right foot, massaging

2394
06:05:29.240 --> 06:05:36.040
the bottom of your feet and the side of your

2395
06:05:36.040 --> 06:05:52.759
feet gently but firm enough so they don't tickle, and

2396
06:05:52.919 --> 06:05:58.360
just allow the pleasure that you get from having your

2397
06:05:58.400 --> 06:06:07.799
feet massaged to just overtake you as I continue to

2398
06:06:07.959 --> 06:06:14.360
message your feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides

2399
06:06:16.959 --> 06:06:22.720
your arches your heel. You can put a lot of

2400
06:06:22.759 --> 06:06:28.720
pressure into your heel and it feels amazing. Yet the

2401
06:06:28.840 --> 06:06:36.959
arches need to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your

2402
06:06:37.040 --> 06:06:43.599
toes gently, the message in the bottoms of your toes

2403
06:06:44.240 --> 06:06:59.560
with my fingers, each one individually. Moving over to the

2404
06:06:59.639 --> 06:07:09.119
left leg to do exactly the same thing. Starting at

2405
06:07:09.159 --> 06:07:13.599
the top of the thighs, work in the back of

2406
06:07:13.639 --> 06:07:21.159
the thighs and the sides, massaging deeply and gently that

2407
06:07:21.360 --> 06:07:35.439
whole area, working all the way down. And this is

2408
06:07:35.479 --> 06:07:41.639
an area that maybe you could like to spend more

2409
06:07:41.720 --> 06:07:50.400
time relaxing and massaging. So perhaps if you wanted, I

2410
06:07:50.400 --> 06:07:54.840
could make a future recording. I want to spend more

2411
06:07:54.880 --> 06:08:06.479
time on one particular area as you move down to

2412
06:08:06.560 --> 06:08:20.680
your calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles firmly and gently,

2413
06:08:26.360 --> 06:08:35.200
moving down your encor into your feet. Massage in the

2414
06:08:35.279 --> 06:08:45.360
backs of your feet, the bottoms of your feet, stretching

2415
06:08:45.599 --> 06:08:51.880
your toes and massage in each tone individually. And the

2416
06:08:52.279 --> 06:08:57.799
feeling of pleasure and release that you experience when you're

2417
06:08:57.799 --> 06:09:19.520
having your feet mess arched feels really good. Now, she

2418
06:09:19.759 --> 06:09:31.159
turn over in your mind. Laying on your back, I'm

2419
06:09:31.200 --> 06:09:43.720
just going to start again for your neck area, in

2420
06:09:43.840 --> 06:09:51.599
your shoulders, just to get back in touch with that

2421
06:09:51.799 --> 06:10:09.400
area and lets you move up. I can clean my hands,

2422
06:10:10.680 --> 06:10:14.520
make them more fresh, because now I'm gonna message your

2423
06:10:14.560 --> 06:10:30.439
face gently, starting off with your forehead. Your eyes are

2424
06:10:30.479 --> 06:10:36.759
closed and I can just stretch your eyes a little bit,

2425
06:10:37.759 --> 06:10:48.799
pushing up on your eyebrows, just massaging around, just scalp,

2426
06:10:54.479 --> 06:11:05.599
massaging down your cheeks, around your ear, into your jaw, gently,

2427
06:11:10.560 --> 06:11:11.520
the sides.

2428
06:11:11.240 --> 06:11:16.520
Of your neck, your chin.

2429
06:11:23.360 --> 06:11:34.479
Mm hmm. Then just moving down from your neck down

2430
06:11:34.560 --> 06:11:42.319
to your chest, starting by massage in the very top

2431
06:11:42.360 --> 06:11:51.159
of your chest where the collar bone is, either side

2432
06:11:51.200 --> 06:12:03.000
of the collarbone, and then just message in the whole

2433
06:12:03.159 --> 06:12:24.080
of the chest, moving the chest around, because it's quite

2434
06:12:24.080 --> 06:12:29.040
a large area. You can move from one side to

2435
06:12:29.080 --> 06:12:39.880
the next, moving my hands underneath pretty much where your

2436
06:12:40.000 --> 06:12:49.639
arms are stretching up, stretching some of the muscles of

2437
06:12:49.720 --> 06:13:03.479
your back in the process, moving up over your chest.

2438
06:13:03.560 --> 06:13:05.040
And they're moving down again.

2439
06:13:17.599 --> 06:13:22.439
And then allow my hands to just massage gently and

2440
06:13:22.680 --> 06:13:29.439
slide down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of

2441
06:13:29.520 --> 06:13:39.159
your chest, and then gradually my hands moving apart and

2442
06:13:39.439 --> 06:13:45.040
massage in and slide in at the same time, moving

2443
06:13:45.200 --> 06:14:03.959
down to just below your rib cage, moving down, then

2444
06:14:04.080 --> 06:14:09.439
messaging up again, giving your chest.

2445
06:14:10.599 --> 06:14:14.279
All the attention that it needs.

2446
06:14:15.919 --> 06:14:28.319
To feel completely relaxed. Remembering that I'm also going to

2447
06:14:28.360 --> 06:14:34.000
be focusing on your sides as well, an area that

2448
06:14:34.200 --> 06:14:41.439
really doesn't get much attention but feels really good when

2449
06:14:41.439 --> 06:14:50.759
it's massaged. Just stroking my hands down the sides of

2450
06:14:50.799 --> 06:14:57.759
your body, just below your arms, all the way down

2451
06:14:57.799 --> 06:15:12.799
to your hips. Now move into your stomach area. I'm

2452
06:15:12.840 --> 06:15:16.360
going to stand one side of you like I did

2453
06:15:16.400 --> 06:15:20.680
when I did your lower back. We're going to do

2454
06:15:20.720 --> 06:15:29.959
a similar process of just stretching the muscles from your side,

2455
06:15:30.240 --> 06:15:44.840
gently massaging from one side to the next, move in

2456
06:15:44.880 --> 06:15:49.119
a whole area from below your ribs all the way

2457
06:15:49.159 --> 06:15:59.919
down to below your belly button, and then move around

2458
06:16:00.159 --> 06:16:10.040
to the other side of you and repeat that process

2459
06:16:10.319 --> 06:16:23.439
of relaxing, deeply, calmly. You feel loose, you feel free.

2460
06:16:25.759 --> 06:16:30.919
And it's something about having your stomach message that's different.

2461
06:16:30.520 --> 06:16:36.240
From any other part because we do.

2462
06:16:36.479 --> 06:16:41.040
Have a tendency of holding a different kind of stress

2463
06:16:41.080 --> 06:16:44.759
in our stomachs that we may not be aware of.

2464
06:16:50.560 --> 06:16:56.360
As a Now message your stomach in front of your stomach,

2465
06:16:58.279 --> 06:17:09.279
making circles around your belly button, and then going the

2466
06:17:09.319 --> 06:17:19.200
other way around. There's a gentleness and a freedom that

2467
06:17:19.360 --> 06:17:30.759
comes from feeling how you're feeling. As I now move

2468
06:17:31.240 --> 06:17:39.840
down the tops of your thighs, the muscles, massaging them,

2469
06:17:39.880 --> 06:17:43.360
and I can do this two legs at the same time,

2470
06:17:45.479 --> 06:17:54.799
pressing down, massaging deeply those muscles in your thighs, the

2471
06:17:54.959 --> 06:18:03.799
front of your thighs, and moving down to your knees,

2472
06:18:04.599 --> 06:18:17.279
gently massaging your knees, Sliding down your shins, putting pressure

2473
06:18:17.360 --> 06:18:25.119
on either side of your shin gently softly but firmly,

2474
06:18:29.240 --> 06:18:39.119
moving down to your ankles, stroking the tops of your feet,

2475
06:18:45.119 --> 06:18:50.520
and then with each foot in each hand, just gently

2476
06:18:50.720 --> 06:18:59.080
messaging the whole of the foot, the top, the bottom,

2477
06:18:59.759 --> 06:19:07.880
your heal your ankle, your toes, message in every part

2478
06:19:08.080 --> 06:19:16.599
of your feet. Feel so good just to let go

2479
06:19:17.919 --> 06:19:41.840
and enjoy the process, Enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed. So

2480
06:19:42.119 --> 06:19:49.560
much comfort and so many feelings come just from touching

2481
06:19:49.720 --> 06:20:02.000
your skin, and you can just.

2482
06:20:03.040 --> 06:20:03.919
Lie there.

2483
06:20:05.840 --> 06:20:14.599
For as long as you choose, enjoying the feeling of

2484
06:20:14.919 --> 06:20:21.200
deep comfort from being massaged.

2485
06:20:23.119 --> 06:20:23.479
By me.

2486
06:20:30.639 --> 06:20:52.040
Enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, and all we're going to do

2487
06:20:52.560 --> 06:21:12.560
is blow out some candles. In your mind, there are

2488
06:21:12.599 --> 06:21:22.799
going to be a hundred candles, and you're going to

2489
06:21:22.880 --> 06:21:33.119
blow each one out individually, one by one, starting at

2490
06:21:33.159 --> 06:21:41.720
one hundred. As I count down all the way down

2491
06:21:41.759 --> 06:21:54.680
to one, and each time I say a number, you

2492
06:21:54.759 --> 06:22:01.799
can imagine that candle in front of you, and I'd

2493
06:22:01.840 --> 06:22:04.200
like you to actually physically.

2494
06:22:07.959 --> 06:22:17.759
Generally blow that candle out, just.

2495
06:22:21.479 --> 06:22:25.319
So it's not a big blow, its just a gentle,

2496
06:22:29.720 --> 06:22:39.279
and that candle will extinguish. And then I'll say the

2497
06:22:39.319 --> 06:22:46.479
next number as we move down, and you can just

2498
06:22:50.200 --> 06:22:59.240
blow that one out as well. And as we move

2499
06:22:59.599 --> 06:23:10.680
down the numbers, you'll find yourself feeling more and more relaxed,

2500
06:23:13.520 --> 06:23:19.040
and if you need to sleep, you'll also find yourself

2501
06:23:19.119 --> 06:23:32.360
becoming incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact, you may struggle

2502
06:23:35.080 --> 06:23:48.040
to blow out all one hundred of these candles as

2503
06:23:48.119 --> 06:24:07.319
you feel more and more deeply relaxed, more and more

2504
06:24:10.319 --> 06:24:27.040
deeply tired, and the further you go down, the more

2505
06:24:27.759 --> 06:24:40.000
your mind starts to drift. You may find that you

2506
06:24:41.279 --> 06:24:54.880
stop listening to me after a while. And even though

2507
06:24:54.880 --> 06:25:03.639
there may be background sounds where you are you'll be

2508
06:25:03.680 --> 06:25:18.840
aware of those sounds at the moment, be may start

2509
06:25:19.159 --> 06:25:34.520
to just not even notice them at all because they're unimportant.

2510
06:25:42.479 --> 06:25:47.759
Where I am, I've got the sounds of the birds,

2511
06:25:49.560 --> 06:25:55.240
there's horrors, the pigeon who likes to say hello sometimes,

2512
06:25:58.159 --> 06:26:03.840
and there's the odd playing in the coast by maybe

2513
06:26:06.000 --> 06:26:16.959
traffic and trains in the distance. But none of that

2514
06:26:17.200 --> 06:26:31.360
scens important whatsoever. More candles you blow out, the less

2515
06:26:31.439 --> 06:26:48.000
important anything is. The more candles you blow out, the

2516
06:26:48.119 --> 06:27:03.880
further you seem to move away from downs and from

2517
06:27:04.240 --> 06:27:18.759
general date days. Stuff seems to just move away on

2518
06:27:18.799 --> 06:27:23.840
its own.

2519
06:27:24.599 --> 06:27:26.840
You feel more.

2520
06:27:29.040 --> 06:27:49.680
Calmer with every candle you blow out, guiding you to

2521
06:27:49.880 --> 06:28:03.000
the next number. Do you hear me say? And then

2522
06:28:03.040 --> 06:28:05.119
you blow that candle.

2523
06:28:04.680 --> 06:28:05.840
Out to.

2524
06:28:14.119 --> 06:28:37.880
So easy, so simple. We're gonna start by introducing the

2525
06:28:37.919 --> 06:28:56.240
first candle, which is a hundred. First candle is one hundred.

2526
06:29:01.080 --> 06:29:15.799
When you blow that candle out, you'll find immediately a

2527
06:29:15.880 --> 06:29:29.959
slight change in how you feel, as well as a

2528
06:29:30.040 --> 06:29:52.200
real sense of positivity growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding.

2529
06:30:01.000 --> 06:30:48.520
Starting with one hundred, blow out that candle, now ninety nine,

Or let go.

2564
07:27:44.599 --> 07:27:50.799
Of all of those thoughts, worries, concerns about the past,

2565
07:27:51.799 --> 07:27:57.119
thoughts about the future, and even things you've been thinking

2566
07:27:57.159 --> 07:28:04.799
about today. Just let it all go because none of

2567
07:28:04.799 --> 07:28:14.720
it is useful in this moment. This is your opportunity

2568
07:28:19.279 --> 07:28:33.919
to just focus on feeling relaxed, allowing yourself to get

2569
07:28:33.959 --> 07:28:43.400
in touch with that natural sense of peace that we

2570
07:28:43.560 --> 07:28:50.360
all have within us. It's available for everyone, it just

2571
07:28:50.400 --> 07:28:55.599
sometimes takes a little bit of effort to set up

2572
07:28:55.680 --> 07:29:01.639
the right time and place in order for you to

2573
07:29:01.959 --> 07:29:10.840
just let go, because when you do decide to let

2574
07:29:10.959 --> 07:29:16.279
go and relax, that's what your body starts to do

2575
07:29:19.400 --> 07:29:26.959
because you've chosen. You've chosen to just allow your body

2576
07:29:27.319 --> 07:29:35.560
to unwind and your mind starts to slow down. And

2577
07:29:35.639 --> 07:29:40.520
it's a nice feeling. It's a nice feeling at the beginning,

2578
07:29:40.759 --> 07:29:49.520
just to know that you have chosen to decide to

2579
07:29:49.639 --> 07:29:57.439
relax deeply, and because you've made that decision, your body

2580
07:29:58.639 --> 07:30:04.720
will just follow suit. Because sometimes all the muscles in

2581
07:30:04.759 --> 07:30:10.520
your body need is just permission from you to relax.

2582
07:30:14.520 --> 07:30:19.360
Because so often we're busy, we're going from here to there,

2583
07:30:19.479 --> 07:30:25.279
we're walking around, and we're doing stuff, and the body

2584
07:30:25.319 --> 07:30:33.400
doesn't have any time or space to really relax deeply.

2585
07:30:36.840 --> 07:30:39.520
So it kind of waits for you to lead the way,

2586
07:30:41.639 --> 07:30:51.720
waits for your permission. And when you do give your permission,

2587
07:30:53.360 --> 07:30:56.040
when you give the say so, when you say okay,

2588
07:30:57.200 --> 07:30:58.200
it's time.

2589
07:31:00.200 --> 07:31:01.240
For your body.

2590
07:31:02.479 --> 07:31:11.439
To let go completely and relax totally, your body just follows.

2591
07:31:14.439 --> 07:31:19.680
It's a like a breath of relief. Ah good, I

2592
07:31:19.720 --> 07:31:26.959
can now relax. That feeling at the end of a day,

2593
07:31:27.040 --> 07:31:30.799
of a very physical day that you may experience in

2594
07:31:30.840 --> 07:31:34.439
the past, but you get home and you just sit

2595
07:31:34.599 --> 07:31:38.560
down on a chair, maybe you kick your shoes off,

2596
07:31:38.599 --> 07:31:45.240
and ah, feels so nice knowing that you don't have

2597
07:31:45.319 --> 07:31:48.840
to get up again for a little while at least

2598
07:31:49.959 --> 07:31:52.639
if you choose, you can just sit there for maybe

2599
07:31:52.639 --> 07:31:53.360
an hour to.

2600
07:31:55.599 --> 07:32:04.319
It feels.

2601
07:32:04.360 --> 07:32:09.119
And just by sitting down like that, your body knows

2602
07:32:09.639 --> 07:32:14.639
that it's time to relax. Your body has been given

2603
07:32:14.720 --> 07:32:22.240
permission from you. Because it's a mindset in your mind,

2604
07:32:24.959 --> 07:32:35.439
you're prepared to let go of everything and just completely

2605
07:32:36.599 --> 07:32:45.360
allow all the stress of your body to evaporate. Any

2606
07:32:45.599 --> 07:32:48.720
tensions can just gradually.

2607
07:32:50.720 --> 07:32:57.279
Vanish.

2608
07:32:57.599 --> 07:33:09.360
It's almost like magic, really, because that sense of relaxation

2609
07:33:09.599 --> 07:33:15.680
in your body, it's a very natural state. It's not

2610
07:33:15.799 --> 07:33:20.639
something unusual. It may feel unusual when you first start

2611
07:33:20.720 --> 07:33:25.240
to relax, if you if you haven't really spent a

2612
07:33:25.279 --> 07:33:29.520
lot of time focusing and giving yourself this space to

2613
07:33:29.680 --> 07:33:35.000
let go completely and relax, may seem are most alien,

2614
07:33:36.840 --> 07:33:42.799
but it isn't. It's actually the most natural thing in

2615
07:33:42.840 --> 07:33:53.080
the world to let go completely, to relax totally, the

2616
07:33:53.200 --> 07:34:04.240
most natural thing in the world to allow yourself to

2617
07:34:04.439 --> 07:34:12.319
feel really calm in your mind. And it is almost

2618
07:34:12.840 --> 07:34:19.959
like a literal unwinding. It's like you press a button

2619
07:34:22.599 --> 07:34:29.040
and all the tension just releases, and it's like a wheel,

2620
07:34:29.400 --> 07:34:33.639
like a cog, like the inside of a clock, just unwinding.

2621
07:34:34.240 --> 07:34:38.200
And it's almost like you could see the little wind

2622
07:34:38.279 --> 07:34:44.159
up knob that's used just going the opposite way that

2623
07:34:44.240 --> 07:34:50.159
you choose to wind it up, and the energy that

2624
07:34:50.400 --> 07:35:00.599
frenetic stress for energy gradually winding down, losing its power,

2625
07:35:01.759 --> 07:35:08.520
believes in its strength as a sense of relaxation becomes

2626
07:35:08.759 --> 07:35:11.880
stronger and deeper.

2627
07:35:14.919 --> 07:35:15.919
And you may.

2628
07:35:17.279 --> 07:35:24.240
Find a the more relaxed you feel, that your mind

2629
07:35:24.680 --> 07:35:34.040
starts to wonder, maybe just seemed to stop listening to

2630
07:35:34.080 --> 07:35:38.560
me for a while, and your mind goes somewhere else,

2631
07:35:39.919 --> 07:35:45.840
and then you realize you're listening to me again, and

2632
07:35:45.880 --> 07:35:52.560
that was just your mind drifting to sleep, which is

2633
07:35:52.680 --> 07:36:03.959
quite natural, because sometimes when we're stressed and tense, were not,

2634
07:36:04.240 --> 07:36:08.720
may I actually be aware of what we need? What

2635
07:36:08.880 --> 07:36:17.639
we physically or emotionally need in this moment. But when

2636
07:36:17.680 --> 07:36:24.240
you allow your body and mind to relax completely.

2637
07:36:25.319 --> 07:36:27.639
And you let go of all.

2638
07:36:27.520 --> 07:36:36.959
Thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas, all letting them go, allowing them

2639
07:36:37.000 --> 07:36:47.360
to drop onto the floor, you start to get in

2640
07:36:47.520 --> 07:36:58.439
touch with the feelings of such relaxation, and this feels

2641
07:36:58.560 --> 07:37:06.639
so nice to be in touch with the calmness of

2642
07:37:06.759 --> 07:37:13.959
the different body parts as they become looser.

2643
07:37:14.759 --> 07:37:15.520
And looser.

2644
07:37:19.720 --> 07:37:31.919
Even your breathing seems easier and more natural effortless, as

2645
07:37:31.959 --> 07:37:37.200
that cool air enters through your mouth or nose into

2646
07:37:37.240 --> 07:37:48.119
your lungs, breathing in comforts and relaxation, and in just

2647
07:37:48.279 --> 07:37:56.279
breathing out any excess remain in tension or stress from

2648
07:37:56.319 --> 07:38:04.639
every part of your body and mind. And as you

2649
07:38:04.720 --> 07:38:10.479
start to focus on your mind, maybe you notice that

2650
07:38:10.759 --> 07:38:18.799
things have come to a standstill or maybe just much

2651
07:38:19.200 --> 07:38:27.360
much lower than before, because your mind is not really

2652
07:38:28.599 --> 07:38:38.040
needed when listening to my voice, which allows your mind

2653
07:38:38.200 --> 07:38:46.560
to relax just as deeply as your body. And that's

2654
07:38:46.639 --> 07:38:59.240
synchronicity between the relaxation of your body and relaxation of

2655
07:38:59.279 --> 07:39:02.119
your mind.

2656
07:39:02.200 --> 07:39:03.599
Let you know that.

2657
07:39:05.599 --> 07:39:18.080
Feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed really is a great

2658
07:39:19.000 --> 07:39:36.080
healing experience fear and has so many positive benefits for

2659
07:39:36.159 --> 07:39:38.240
your body, mind.

2660
07:39:38.159 --> 07:39:40.799
And your life.

2661
07:39:41.520 --> 07:39:45.959
To be able to let go over everything.

2662
07:39:46.959 --> 07:39:55.680
And to relax completely in all parts of your body

2663
07:39:57.000 --> 07:40:07.599
and mind. Even your bones are relaxed, all your muscles

2664
07:40:07.639 --> 07:40:23.279
are relaxed. Even the skin that covers your body is relaxed.

2665
07:40:28.400 --> 07:40:29.919
Every hair.

2666
07:40:32.680 --> 07:40:33.599
That you have.

2667
07:40:35.000 --> 07:40:53.159
Is also deeply relaxed, and your brain restarts to feel

2668
07:40:53.520 --> 07:41:06.840
the benefits of this healing relaxation. Then, as you focus

2669
07:41:08.799 --> 07:41:12.959
on the inside of your scalp where your brain is,

2670
07:41:14.680 --> 07:41:22.520
you can start to realize and notice the benefits of

2671
07:41:22.639 --> 07:41:34.360
your brain relaxing deeply. Then, as your brain continues to

2672
07:41:34.479 --> 07:41:44.599
relax sends those messages to the rest of your body

2673
07:41:46.520 --> 07:42:02.840
and your mind to rely, relax even more deeply, relaxing

2674
07:42:05.119 --> 07:42:21.119
more completely, letting go of any remaining thoughts or concerns,

2675
07:42:23.479 --> 07:42:29.919
allow them just to drop onto the floor because they're

2676
07:42:29.959 --> 07:42:38.479
no longer necessary in this moment. In this moment of

2677
07:42:38.799 --> 07:42:47.799
deep relaxation and calmness, filling.

2678
07:42:49.919 --> 07:43:05.000
Your brain with deep, concentrated healing, calming.

2679
07:43:09.520 --> 07:43:28.159
Relaxing, every part of your brain feeling so loose and comfortable,

2680
07:43:31.319 --> 07:43:34.319
so relaxed.

2681
07:43:35.360 --> 07:43:36.680
And be peaceful.

2682
07:43:39.959 --> 07:43:44.880
Your brain feels so light.

2683
07:43:46.799 --> 07:43:48.520
And so healthy.

2684
07:43:51.119 --> 07:44:01.599
In that sense of deep, deep comfort really does allow you.

2685
07:44:05.159 --> 07:44:06.560
To enjoy.

2686
07:44:08.200 --> 07:44:19.959
Those ever increasing sensations of comfort that are spreading throughout

2687
07:44:20.080 --> 07:44:31.159
your body. Relaxing each and every muscle of your body

2688
07:44:33.560 --> 07:44:49.560
e and deeper and deeper, much more deeper than before,

2689
07:44:53.279 --> 07:45:05.799
much more comfort spreading through your body and your mind,

2690
07:45:08.799 --> 07:45:17.959
feed so peaceful and calm, so.

2691
07:45:20.279 --> 07:45:35.200
Very very peaceful in every part of your body. Letting go.

2692
07:45:36.799 --> 07:45:56.439
Of a everything, averything, so peaceful and calm, so relax.

2693
07:46:00.520 --> 07:46:08.880
A very second the passes you feel.

2694
07:46:10.759 --> 07:46:38.880
D per, dper relaxed, dper and deper relax calm, so calm.

2695
07:46:40.279 --> 07:46:41.959
Peace for.

2696
07:46:44.759 --> 07:46:54.159
So very peace, from your head down to your ties.

2697
07:46:57.159 --> 07:47:10.919
Such peace, comfort growing all all the time, Such peace

2698
07:47:11.799 --> 07:47:13.520
and comfort.

2699
07:47:15.799 --> 07:47:28.599
Spreading through your body and mind, deeper and deeper, Such

2700
07:47:29.279 --> 07:47:34.000
comfort spreading.

2701
07:47:34.520 --> 07:47:36.919
And sinking deeper.

2702
07:47:38.959 --> 07:47:50.599
Into airy muscle of your body, so that you feel amazing,

2703
07:47:53.560 --> 07:48:15.639
so relaxed, so peaceful, so peaceful, letting go.

2704
07:48:19.119 --> 07:48:20.200
Everything.

2705
07:48:24.279 --> 07:48:30.560
We're going to do a body scan, focusing on firstly

2706
07:48:30.680 --> 07:48:35.720
how you feel in your body, Not trying to change

2707
07:48:36.080 --> 07:48:41.759
how you feel, not trying to relax, not trying to

2708
07:48:41.880 --> 07:48:49.080
move away from any discomfort or stress or tension, just accepting,

2709
07:48:50.599 --> 07:48:55.720
observing and accepting how you feel in the different parts

2710
07:48:55.759 --> 07:49:02.479
of your body, Just allowing yourself to be exactly as

2711
07:49:02.520 --> 07:49:14.040
you are, to notice to get in touch with how

2712
07:49:14.080 --> 07:49:21.479
you actually feel in this moment. I'm going to start

2713
07:49:21.599 --> 07:49:32.639
off by Focusing on your hands. Just be aware of

2714
07:49:32.680 --> 07:49:41.000
your hands. I'd like you to move your hands around.

2715
07:49:42.400 --> 07:49:47.959
Just maybe move your fingers a little bit. I've been

2716
07:49:48.040 --> 07:49:54.119
and closing your hands very gently, just so that you

2717
07:49:54.279 --> 07:50:02.279
can get in touch with how your hands and your

2718
07:50:02.319 --> 07:50:23.680
fingers fell, very very slow movements. Focusing now on your feet,

2719
07:50:27.759 --> 07:50:31.080
and if you can just do kind of an equivalent

2720
07:50:31.720 --> 07:50:36.119
with your feet is you've just done with your hands,

2721
07:50:37.400 --> 07:50:46.319
Maybe turn in your ankles, moving your feet around, moving

2722
07:50:46.400 --> 07:50:56.439
your toes gently, but only very gently and very slowly,

2723
07:50:59.360 --> 07:51:14.959
noticing how your feet feel in this moment. Focusing now

2724
07:51:15.000 --> 07:51:15.880
and your eyes.

2725
07:51:18.880 --> 07:51:20.119
I like you to just.

2726
07:51:21.639 --> 07:51:27.439
Focus on your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close

2727
07:51:27.520 --> 07:51:31.759
your eyes a couple of times to really get in

2728
07:51:31.959 --> 07:51:36.159
touch with how you feel when you do close your eyes.

2729
07:51:38.200 --> 07:51:47.279
The muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them.

2730
07:51:47.439 --> 07:51:53.919
Maybe raising your eyebrows, which stretches the tops of your eyes,

2731
07:51:57.040 --> 07:52:05.360
perhaps quint in your eyes, scrunching up your eyes just

2732
07:52:05.439 --> 07:52:12.799
so you can hear it again. Touch with all aspects

2733
07:52:14.000 --> 07:52:33.479
of how your eyes feel right now. Now, focusing on

2734
07:52:33.520 --> 07:52:37.959
your thighs, and you know it just starts you to

2735
07:52:38.520 --> 07:52:48.560
gently tense your thighs, just very very gently, just enough

2736
07:52:49.840 --> 07:53:01.840
so you can become more attuned to the physical sensation

2737
07:53:03.560 --> 07:53:08.799
of your upper legs, the front of your thighs, in

2738
07:53:08.840 --> 07:53:22.319
the backs of your thighs, noticing and observing how your

2739
07:53:22.360 --> 07:53:37.439
thighs fear. Right now, moving your focus to the back

2740
07:53:37.520 --> 07:53:44.119
of your neck, just noticing the back of your neck,

2741
07:53:45.560 --> 07:53:50.240
the muscles, and of course they lead to.

2742
07:53:50.200 --> 07:53:51.520
The side of your neck.

2743
07:53:52.959 --> 07:53:58.119
They also lead to the top of your back, which

2744
07:53:58.240 --> 07:53:59.520
leads to your shoulders.

2745
07:54:01.040 --> 07:54:03.240
So as your focus.

2746
07:54:03.040 --> 07:54:08.759
On the back of your neck, maybe you can move

2747
07:54:08.799 --> 07:54:16.759
your head gently upwards as if you're looking up. Maybe

2748
07:54:17.560 --> 07:54:25.279
moving your head down as if you're looking down. Perhaps

2749
07:54:25.479 --> 07:54:30.040
moving your head side to side, right to left.

2750
07:54:31.479 --> 07:54:32.400
But only.

2751
07:54:33.799 --> 07:54:45.240
Very slowly, very gently. I'm not trying to force anything.

2752
07:54:46.319 --> 07:54:55.279
It has to be very very gentle, just so that

2753
07:54:55.439 --> 07:54:56.840
you can.

2754
07:54:57.520 --> 07:54:59.240
Be more.

2755
07:55:00.799 --> 07:55:10.240
In touch with the feelings, with the sensations, the physical

2756
07:55:11.599 --> 07:55:21.159
sensations of how the back of your neck feels. Right now,

2757
07:55:28.439 --> 07:55:36.759
as we now focus on the tops of your arms,

2758
07:55:38.759 --> 07:55:43.639
the parts where your biceps and your triceps are between

2759
07:55:43.680 --> 07:55:51.439
your elbow and your shoulders, should focus on those parts,

2760
07:55:52.400 --> 07:55:58.119
the tops of your arms. You may like to just

2761
07:55:58.880 --> 07:56:10.159
tense them, but very very gently and slowly so you're

2762
07:56:10.200 --> 07:56:17.959
not straining or put in any pressure whatsoever.

2763
07:56:18.759 --> 07:56:27.599
On your arms. It's just so that you can gain

2764
07:56:28.119 --> 07:56:30.240
more of a sense.

2765
07:56:30.000 --> 07:56:40.479
Of how your upper arms are feeling in this moment,

2766
07:56:43.479 --> 07:56:51.599
and just noticing as you gently, very gently.

2767
07:56:53.040 --> 07:56:54.840
And slowly.

2768
07:56:55.959 --> 07:57:06.720
Tighten the muscles and then let a yeah, notice how

2769
07:57:06.880 --> 07:57:21.000
the tops of your arms feel right now, as in

2770
07:57:21.720 --> 07:57:32.479
now focus on your stomach, the area the lower abdomen

2771
07:57:32.560 --> 07:57:38.479
area below your belly button, moving all the way down

2772
07:57:41.840 --> 07:57:52.439
to your hips, just above your grind. Maybe you're able

2773
07:57:52.560 --> 07:57:56.479
to tense these muscles.

2774
07:57:57.599 --> 07:58:02.919
In that area very very gently.

2775
07:58:05.880 --> 07:58:16.279
And slowly, if that's a difficult thing to do, and

2776
07:58:16.439 --> 07:58:25.479
maybe you can just move your body, pushing your stomach up,

2777
07:58:27.119 --> 07:58:33.040
maybe moving a little bit to a side using your hips,

2778
07:58:33.159 --> 07:58:33.880
just so.

2779
07:58:34.439 --> 07:58:36.880
You can get more.

2780
07:58:38.119 --> 07:58:51.520
In tune with how your lower aptomen area is feeling

2781
07:58:52.919 --> 07:59:10.560
in this moment. Just noticing the physical sensations or your

2782
07:59:10.639 --> 07:59:12.599
lower abdomen.

2783
07:59:22.840 --> 07:59:23.880
As you move.

2784
07:59:25.560 --> 07:59:39.639
Your attention to your mouth, noticing your lips and inside

2785
07:59:39.759 --> 07:59:58.560
your mouth, your teeth, your guns, your tongue, just noticing

2786
07:59:59.360 --> 08:00:02.319
how your hung in your mouth feels.

2787
08:00:05.279 --> 08:00:06.880
It may help by.

2788
08:00:08.720 --> 08:00:16.000
Moving your tongue around your mouth, moving it to your left,

2789
08:00:17.720 --> 08:00:23.479
maybe pressing it gently against the side of your mouth,

2790
08:00:24.959 --> 08:00:26.759
and then to the right.

2791
08:00:28.000 --> 08:00:30.880
Gently to the side of your mouth.

2792
08:00:33.680 --> 08:00:39.279
Perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth, and

2793
08:00:39.319 --> 08:00:48.919
then down gently against the bottom of your mouth, always

2794
08:00:49.159 --> 08:00:51.279
very slowly.

2795
08:00:54.159 --> 08:00:55.400
And a very.

2796
08:00:57.759 --> 08:01:07.840
Very gentle so that you can.

2797
08:01:08.360 --> 08:01:09.520
Be aware.

2798
08:01:14.319 --> 08:01:36.520
Of how you feel in your mouth area. Now I'm

2799
08:01:36.599 --> 08:01:37.000
going to.

2800
08:01:37.200 --> 08:01:53.240
Focus on your wrists, and I'm gonna ask you to

2801
08:01:53.439 --> 08:01:56.880
maybe just routine.

2802
08:01:57.959 --> 08:01:59.200
Your wrists.

2803
08:02:00.520 --> 08:02:08.599
By moving your hands in a circular motion very gently

2804
08:02:10.520 --> 08:02:32.200
and slowly, just soly you can feel the sensations that

2805
08:02:32.400 --> 08:02:47.959
you are currently experiencing in your wrists. Perhaps move in

2806
08:02:48.080 --> 08:03:05.560
your hands up and down again very very okay, and slowly,

2807
08:03:14.520 --> 08:03:40.840
very gentle and slow. As we now start to observe

2808
08:03:44.919 --> 08:03:56.000
you lower back. The bad part is just above of

2809
08:03:56.279 --> 08:04:12.919
your hips, where your coxis are a whole area which

2810
08:04:13.000 --> 08:04:20.400
also really does include the sides of your body, because

2811
08:04:20.479 --> 08:04:31.000
those muscles are very much connected as those muscles also

2812
08:04:31.240 --> 08:04:37.840
move into your hip area, connect into your buttocks.

2813
08:04:39.840 --> 08:04:53.479
The sides of your hips, and if you're physically.

2814
08:04:54.240 --> 08:05:01.680
Able to do so, maybe you can fair very gently

2815
08:05:03.080 --> 08:05:15.599
just move your body ever so slightly, very slowly, some

2816
08:05:16.040 --> 08:05:34.240
side to side, just enough to gauge how you feel

2817
08:05:36.560 --> 08:05:51.279
in your lower back. Perhaps it could even move your

2818
08:05:51.479 --> 08:06:05.959
hips gently up and down, gentle, slowly in order to.

2819
08:06:10.560 --> 08:06:12.200
Be in touch.

2820
08:06:14.479 --> 08:06:19.240
With the physical sensations.

2821
08:06:19.319 --> 08:06:39.279
Of your lower back. As we now move.

2822
08:06:43.680 --> 08:06:45.119
Your attention.

2823
08:06:48.520 --> 08:06:56.279
To your jaw, an area from your chin all the

2824
08:06:56.319 --> 08:07:03.720
way up to near way your ears ah, the hole

2825
08:07:04.119 --> 08:07:04.919
of your jaw.

2826
08:07:15.159 --> 08:07:19.119
You can just if it's okay to.

2827
08:07:19.159 --> 08:07:29.840
Do sid gently open your mouth, not wide, no stretching,

2828
08:07:31.119 --> 08:07:43.919
just very gently and slowly opening your mouth. I thing,

2829
08:07:44.200 --> 08:08:03.759
closing your mouth very gently and slowly so you can.

2830
08:08:05.720 --> 08:08:07.080
Be in touch.

2831
08:08:13.400 --> 08:08:16.119
With how your jaw feels.

2832
08:08:19.000 --> 08:08:26.240
Now.

2833
08:08:46.080 --> 08:09:02.159
Noticing now your chest area, and you don't need to

2834
08:09:02.279 --> 08:09:10.520
do anything to move your chest because it moves every

2835
08:09:10.599 --> 08:09:23.520
time you breathe, and it moves very gently and slowly

2836
08:09:25.919 --> 08:09:44.080
automatically re each breath you take. As you focus on how.

2837
08:09:44.319 --> 08:09:46.080
Your chest.

2838
08:09:50.840 --> 08:10:31.880
Feels when you breathe, move in your focus to your forearms,

2839
08:10:34.000 --> 08:10:49.040
in your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently and

2840
08:10:49.680 --> 08:11:00.880
slowly tense the muscles in your forearms, and when you

2841
08:11:01.000 --> 08:11:03.240
do that, you can feel.

2842
08:11:06.080 --> 08:11:18.279
Your elbows as well, very.

2843
08:11:18.040 --> 08:11:35.119
Gently and slowly, gently.

2844
08:11:37.919 --> 08:11:39.919
And softly.

2845
08:11:43.360 --> 08:12:13.799
Observing your forearms and elbows. H No, I think a

2846
08:12:14.119 --> 08:12:28.240
focus on the rest of your back, your upper back

2847
08:12:32.720 --> 08:12:50.159
in the middle, the middle of your back. Again, this

2848
08:12:50.799 --> 08:13:01.080
part of your body moves also every time aime you breathe.

2849
08:13:05.880 --> 08:13:19.520
You may not notice that. Usually these you observe your

2850
08:13:19.680 --> 08:13:22.599
upper back in the middle of your back.

2851
08:13:26.279 --> 08:13:42.560
You can really feel that gentle and slow.

2852
08:13:45.959 --> 08:14:27.799
Movement moving your focus.

2853
08:14:25.360 --> 08:14:39.080
Into your hip area, your butte as, your grain, those muscles,

2854
08:14:39.240 --> 08:15:17.439
and those bones in your midsection. Just noticing how your hips.

2855
08:15:19.520 --> 08:15:19.919
Feel.

2856
08:15:23.040 --> 08:15:40.919
Right now, you can very very gently move your hips,

2857
08:15:45.840 --> 08:16:25.319
maybe side to side, very gently and slow gently, softly

2858
08:16:33.080 --> 08:16:56.279
and slowly, everything starts to slow down, including the thoughts

2859
08:16:56.319 --> 08:17:06.520
in your mind and your mind itself just starts to gradually.

2860
08:17:08.479 --> 08:17:15.040
It doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting too.

2861
08:17:16.360 --> 08:17:25.240
It's almost like time is storing chin. It's a slower

2862
08:17:25.279 --> 08:17:30.240
pace to maybe what you're.

2863
08:17:29.880 --> 08:17:36.479
Used to in your day to day life.

2864
08:17:37.159 --> 08:18:01.040
It's a slower movement of energy, very small all movements

2865
08:18:03.919 --> 08:18:12.360
which make up the larger movements, which is always the case. Now,

2866
08:18:12.439 --> 08:18:17.040
when you move your hand, it might seem like it's

2867
08:18:17.119 --> 08:18:22.880
one movement, but it's lots of minute different muscles moving

2868
08:18:25.000 --> 08:18:34.159
in accordance with each other. And what happens in this

2869
08:18:35.880 --> 08:18:45.759
space that we're sharing is we move from.

2870
08:18:48.040 --> 08:18:50.919
That big.

2871
08:18:55.119 --> 08:19:12.240
Movement into those smaller movements, starting to focus on how

2872
08:19:12.279 --> 08:19:19.599
your body feels, not just as a whole, not just oh,

2873
08:19:19.639 --> 08:19:23.919
i'm feel in this way. I'm feeling stressed or tense,

2874
08:19:24.159 --> 08:19:29.599
or I'm feeling relaxed and calm. I'm feeling this way,

2875
08:19:29.720 --> 08:19:36.599
I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice that your body

2876
08:19:40.919 --> 08:19:50.599
begins to present to you small feelings around your body,

2877
08:19:57.080 --> 08:20:09.200
small physical sensations in your legs, whether pleasurable or not.

2878
08:20:14.560 --> 08:20:23.680
Maybe resisting the temptation to label them or to judge

2879
08:20:23.720 --> 08:20:31.159
them those feelings, just thinking them, thinking about them is

2880
08:20:31.360 --> 08:20:48.279
just being neutral, just feelings, not being particularly concerned, but

2881
08:20:48.520 --> 08:21:03.639
just noticing what your body is telling you, the feelings

2882
08:21:03.639 --> 08:21:10.840
in your arms, instead of feeling the whole of the arm,

2883
08:21:11.400 --> 08:21:20.360
Maybe notice those individual feelings for all those different muscles

2884
08:21:20.560 --> 08:21:33.279
and the skin, the hairs of your arms, all the

2885
08:21:33.360 --> 08:21:50.080
internal parts of your arms, the veins, the bones, just.

2886
08:21:50.040 --> 08:21:51.119
Being aware of.

2887
08:21:54.040 --> 08:22:00.479
Maybe your elbow on your right arm has a certain feeling.

2888
08:22:02.520 --> 08:22:16.279
Maybe your left wrist also has its own individual physical sensation.

2889
08:22:28.680 --> 08:22:35.439
What about your forearm on your right arm, your right forearm,

2890
08:22:42.759 --> 08:22:48.880
there may not be any particular feeling that you could

2891
08:22:48.919 --> 08:22:56.799
even give a name to may not feel like anything

2892
08:22:57.759 --> 08:23:08.599
other than just a feeling. Yeah, it's there. The feelings

2893
08:23:08.599 --> 08:23:14.639
in your shoulders, perhaps your shoulders when you think about them,

2894
08:23:15.599 --> 08:23:18.880
you're kind of almost like they're the same, you know,

2895
08:23:20.080 --> 08:23:25.040
the same feeling, almost like you both of your shoulders

2896
08:23:25.040 --> 08:23:38.000
are just one thing. Of course they're not. And when

2897
08:23:38.040 --> 08:23:43.400
you focus on your left shoulder and then on your

2898
08:23:43.479 --> 08:23:50.400
right shoulder, maybe find that you move the muscles a

2899
08:23:50.400 --> 08:24:00.479
little bit, maybe tense the muscles gently. It is in

2900
08:24:01.880 --> 08:24:32.840
the difference in each shoulder, your lower back, the left

2901
08:24:33.000 --> 08:24:36.840
side of your lower back and the right side of

2902
08:24:36.919 --> 08:24:48.200
your lower back of course that connection to your buttocks

2903
08:24:49.200 --> 08:25:01.040
and to your hips, and also moving up into the

2904
08:25:01.080 --> 08:25:14.360
middle of your back. And sometimes like right now, actually

2905
08:25:15.159 --> 08:25:18.880
when I focus on that part, when I focused on

2906
08:25:18.919 --> 08:25:24.759
my buttocks and then I focused on the middle of

2907
08:25:24.799 --> 08:25:27.720
my back, I almost felt like the muscles in my

2908
08:25:27.799 --> 08:25:37.840
lower back were being stretched very gently, just stretched a

2909
08:25:37.880 --> 08:25:46.040
little bit. Even though I wasn't doing anything to try

2910
08:25:46.279 --> 08:25:51.479
to stretch your lower back, it just seemed to happen.

2911
08:25:52.639 --> 08:25:54.159
The feeling of.

2912
08:25:56.279 --> 08:26:14.200
Very gently diretching your lower back comes along. I have

2913
08:26:14.400 --> 08:26:39.759
feeling in your chest, just noticing what sensations you are

2914
08:26:39.959 --> 08:26:57.159
experiencing in your chest right now, and there's so much

2915
08:26:57.279 --> 08:27:01.560
of the chest. Obviously there's the collar bone lead into

2916
08:27:01.680 --> 08:27:08.000
the chest. You've got the chest bone, You've got the

2917
08:27:08.119 --> 08:27:16.040
muscles in your chest, and of course, if you're female,

2918
08:27:16.720 --> 08:27:27.159
there's possibly the breasts. You're male, you've got the different

2919
08:27:28.279 --> 08:27:32.520
well why not that different these days, But there may

2920
08:27:32.560 --> 08:27:41.040
be more muscles at the top of the chest, but

2921
08:27:41.119 --> 08:27:46.240
at the side underneath it's pretty much the same. Whether

2922
08:27:46.240 --> 08:27:50.880
you're a man or a woman. There's muscles there, muscles

2923
08:27:50.880 --> 08:27:55.959
that stretch out to your back as well as breast

2924
08:27:55.959 --> 08:28:04.319
tissue which stretches and moves into your back. To just

2925
08:28:04.360 --> 08:28:23.959
being aware of your chest, being with whatever feeling there

2926
08:28:24.040 --> 08:28:43.560
is in your chest. And when I noticed that, I

2927
08:28:43.720 --> 08:28:51.759
focus on my chest, I feel it in my back,

2928
08:28:52.000 --> 08:28:56.119
my upper back. I mean, I guess the obvious reason

2929
08:28:56.159 --> 08:29:06.159
would be because you know, I'll breathe in in and

2930
08:29:06.319 --> 08:29:09.919
it stretches my chest and my back at the same time.

2931
08:29:17.799 --> 08:29:33.159
It feels it feels okay, doesn't feel I've got a

2932
08:29:33.159 --> 08:29:39.680
little bit of pain in my right chest, A little

2933
08:29:39.680 --> 08:29:46.159
bit not pain, but little discomfort, maybe stiffness, possibly, I

2934
08:29:46.200 --> 08:29:57.959
don't know. I noticed my shoulders also wanting to flex

2935
08:29:58.040 --> 08:30:02.520
for some reason. I think that's probably part of my

2936
08:30:02.680 --> 08:30:13.439
upper back, that connection between my shoulders myrper back, because

2937
08:30:13.439 --> 08:30:18.040
I can move my shoulders and stretch the muscles in

2938
08:30:18.119 --> 08:30:24.240
my back, moving the shoulders backwards or up.

2939
08:30:25.919 --> 08:30:31.799
Which then moves the I think it's the scapulous in

2940
08:30:31.880 --> 08:30:32.360
your back.

2941
08:30:42.360 --> 08:30:50.119
It feels quite nice. Actually, A good thing about this

2942
08:30:50.360 --> 08:30:55.159
is you can, if you want to, you can just

2943
08:30:58.680 --> 08:31:09.080
flex or or stimulate the various muscles in your body

2944
08:31:09.959 --> 08:31:15.000
gently in order to get more of a sense of

2945
08:31:15.119 --> 08:31:29.680
how they feel. And when you're relaxing, when you do

2946
08:31:29.919 --> 08:31:34.040
tense and muscle and you let it go and you

2947
08:31:34.119 --> 08:31:37.919
let it relax, it relaxes.

2948
08:31:39.880 --> 08:31:41.200
Way more.

2949
08:31:42.400 --> 08:31:52.479
Than it would normally. But you have to feel that

2950
08:31:52.560 --> 08:31:53.639
you're able to do that.

2951
08:31:55.200 --> 08:31:58.720
There's no point doing it if there's an.

2952
08:31:58.560 --> 08:32:06.200
Issue with the per part of your body. You need

2953
08:32:06.279 --> 08:32:16.880
to be gentle with yourself at all times when relaxing deeply,

2954
08:32:19.840 --> 08:32:35.080
It's important to be kind to yourself. As you notice

2955
08:32:35.279 --> 08:32:46.400
your mind. How much has your mind slowed down since

2956
08:32:46.439 --> 08:33:12.880
we started this recording. How calm and peaceful is your

2957
08:33:12.959 --> 08:33:25.119
mind right now? We have nothing to think about and

2958
08:33:25.360 --> 08:33:32.880
just my voice to listen to. Because you know, the

2959
08:33:32.959 --> 08:33:43.720
intention behind this recording is relaxation. At the very least,

2960
08:33:45.240 --> 08:33:49.840
for you to feel more relaxed at the end of

2961
08:33:49.840 --> 08:33:58.119
the recording than you did at the beginning, at the

2962
08:33:58.240 --> 08:34:09.919
very least, fe your mind to slow down as your

2963
08:34:10.000 --> 08:34:26.400
body continues to relax, because that's what you want to happen.

2964
08:34:30.319 --> 08:34:45.880
That's what you expect to happen, for relaxation.

2965
08:34:48.119 --> 08:34:49.000
To fill.

2966
08:34:51.360 --> 08:35:04.319
Your body, maybe calm in your mind to the point

2967
08:35:04.479 --> 08:35:38.080
of boredom. When you start maybe to drift away. Drifting

2968
08:35:51.720 --> 08:35:56.759
it's almost as if you're.

2969
08:35:57.000 --> 08:35:59.439
Moving further away.

2970
08:35:59.279 --> 08:36:06.919
From your body in your mind, just leaving that there,

2971
08:36:14.880 --> 08:36:19.200
kind of liking it an escape pod in a spaceship

2972
08:36:19.560 --> 08:36:22.959
a movie, a space movie. You know, when they get

2973
08:36:23.000 --> 08:36:29.520
into a little pod in it sends them far away

2974
08:36:29.880 --> 08:36:57.840
from the spaceship, safe to dream and continue.

2975
08:36:57.479 --> 08:36:58.240
To relax.

2976
08:37:18.439 --> 08:38:24.520
Drifting so slow and peace so so relax and peaceful,

2977
08:38:45.439 --> 08:39:00.200
and focusing on the feeding of those individual parts your

2978
08:39:00.319 --> 08:39:06.479
body that are relaxing.

2979
08:39:07.720 --> 08:39:15.599
One by one.

2980
08:39:16.080 --> 08:39:19.639
You may find that.

2981
08:39:23.680 --> 08:39:33.360
Every now and then you realize that you weren't listening

2982
08:39:35.080 --> 08:39:45.400
to my voice because your mind started to imagine something different,

2983
08:39:46.799 --> 08:39:57.200
maybe started to almost move into some kind of a

2984
08:39:57.479 --> 08:40:06.400
dreamy state and then you become aware of my voice again,

2985
08:40:10.000 --> 08:40:16.599
and even though you may want to focus on my voice,

2986
08:40:17.240 --> 08:40:24.720
you may also wish to allow your mind to just

2987
08:40:25.040 --> 08:40:44.919
drift naturally into that space of comfort and safety. As

2988
08:40:45.000 --> 08:41:02.479
you feel more comfort spreading through your body like a

2989
08:41:02.639 --> 08:41:17.080
warm blanket covering you gently, keeping your body at just

2990
08:41:19.759 --> 08:41:37.919
the perfect temperature. And even if you can hear background sounds,

2991
08:41:42.799 --> 08:41:55.159
they just don't seem to matter anymore, as that sense

2992
08:41:55.279 --> 08:42:14.439
of peace spreads through your mind like a gentle breeze,

2993
08:42:14.639 --> 08:42:27.360
yet strong enough to blow away all negativity, strong enough

2994
08:42:27.479 --> 08:42:40.759
to remove from your mind any anxiety or stress that

2995
08:42:41.040 --> 08:42:55.520
was there before, and blow away any other thoughts or

2996
08:42:55.560 --> 08:42:56.919
feelings that.

2997
08:42:59.279 --> 08:43:08.119
Just don't fit with the sense.

2998
08:43:15.200 --> 08:43:46.799
Relaxation that is filling your body and your mind. Unless

2999
08:43:46.840 --> 08:43:53.200
you focus on your mind and count down from ten

3000
08:43:53.560 --> 08:44:02.000
down to one, and with each number you hear, your

3001
08:44:02.119 --> 08:44:30.279
mind will become slightly more relaxed, just just slightly so,

3002
08:44:30.439 --> 08:44:37.560
from ten down to nine, just a slight movement. From

3003
08:44:37.680 --> 08:44:50.000
nine down to eight, just another small change in how

3004
08:44:50.080 --> 08:45:03.400
you feel. Eight down to seven. That feeling is a gap,

3005
08:45:04.040 --> 08:45:09.599
almost like a gap that starts to get wider, the

3006
08:45:09.720 --> 08:45:18.040
gap between those feelings that you used to have in

3007
08:45:18.080 --> 08:45:27.200
your mind compared to the feelings you have there growing now,

3008
08:45:28.759 --> 08:45:38.680
feelings of comfort and security and confidence, and the gap

3009
08:45:38.959 --> 08:45:45.159
becomes wider. Eight down to seven, seven, down to six,

3010
08:45:48.759 --> 08:45:53.799
and when you get to five, your mind will start

3011
08:45:53.919 --> 08:46:06.919
to have a certain physical sensation, almost like there's a

3012
08:46:07.159 --> 08:46:13.799
magnet outside of your head sucking the tension and the

3013
08:46:14.080 --> 08:46:21.759
stress and any remaining feelings that you don't want, sucking

3014
08:46:21.840 --> 08:46:23.840
them out through your skull.

3015
08:46:29.599 --> 08:46:31.240
And in down to four.

3016
08:46:32.919 --> 08:46:39.840
You can start to really experience that sense of not

3017
08:46:40.000 --> 08:46:50.240
just emptiness, but space, a place full of fresh air,

3018
08:46:55.040 --> 08:47:01.799
a place where you can stretch. It's almost as if

3019
08:47:01.840 --> 08:47:05.919
as you go down to four and three your mind

3020
08:47:06.080 --> 08:47:10.439
is expanding, with this sense.

3021
08:47:12.959 --> 08:47:14.400
Of peace.

3022
08:47:15.639 --> 08:47:26.000
And tranquility growing as it moves down to When you

3023
08:47:26.080 --> 08:47:35.560
get to one, your mind just feels exactly how you

3024
08:47:35.840 --> 08:47:51.560
want to feel. It's almost a perfect feeling, maybe a

3025
08:47:54.680 --> 08:48:03.759
sensation that you'd like to keep a place that's safe,

3026
08:48:04.759 --> 08:48:25.080
where nothing can affect you at all, and you can

3027
08:48:25.240 --> 08:48:34.200
stay in that that space of comfort and confidence, confident

3028
08:48:34.360 --> 08:48:40.919
in your own ability to create this space and this

3029
08:48:42.159 --> 08:48:48.119
feeling of comfort within your own mind just by.

3030
08:48:48.080 --> 08:48:56.759
Counting and ten down to one.

3031
08:48:56.959 --> 08:49:01.520
And this is something that you can do yourself when

3032
08:49:01.520 --> 08:49:08.840
you're on your own, the time when you can maybe

3033
08:49:09.000 --> 08:49:17.240
sit down, maybe just for a few minutes, close your

3034
08:49:17.279 --> 08:49:31.720
eyes and just count slowly from ten down to one

3035
08:49:32.720 --> 08:49:37.840
and re experience these feelings.

3036
08:49:38.680 --> 08:49:45.159
In your mind.

3037
08:49:45.279 --> 08:49:45.959
And when you.

3038
08:49:45.919 --> 08:49:56.400
Feel that way in your mind, your body copies your mind,

3039
08:50:01.720 --> 08:50:07.639
and that feeling is spread through your spine and your

3040
08:50:07.759 --> 08:50:15.639
nervous system into every part of your body, travels through

3041
08:50:15.639 --> 08:50:29.919
your blood stream, heathing and relaxing every particle of your existence.

3042
08:50:42.560 --> 08:50:46.639
And we can we can practice this a few times

3043
08:50:51.279 --> 08:50:54.479
before the end of the recording, and then you can

3044
08:50:55.759 --> 08:51:01.880
practice on your own. And each time you count from

3045
08:51:02.000 --> 08:51:13.639
ten about one, the feelings of comfort, calmness.

3046
08:51:13.119 --> 08:51:14.919
And deep.

3047
08:51:16.520 --> 08:51:33.680
Deep relaxation become stronger and deeper, filling your mind and

3048
08:51:33.720 --> 08:51:43.479
your brain with these positive chemicals that spread throughout your body,

3049
08:51:45.000 --> 08:51:55.319
relaxing you so quickly, relaxing your whole body and mind.

3050
08:51:56.639 --> 08:52:06.959
So very very easily just by counting from ten.

3051
08:52:09.439 --> 08:52:16.919
Down to one. So we're going to do it now.

3052
08:52:17.520 --> 08:52:21.520
I'm going to count from ten down to one. I'd

3053
08:52:21.639 --> 08:52:26.000
like you to repeat the number after me, So when

3054
08:52:26.000 --> 08:52:33.080
I say ten, you can just repeat to yourself.

3055
08:52:34.360 --> 08:52:34.720
Ten.

3056
08:52:40.200 --> 08:52:45.520
Just notice, be aware of how you feel.

3057
08:52:49.240 --> 08:52:58.919
In your mind and your body. Then when I say nine,

3058
08:52:59.200 --> 08:53:14.799
you can repeat to yourself nine again, noticing the increase

3059
08:53:15.119 --> 08:53:23.360
in comfort and calmness in your mind end in your body,

3060
08:53:29.319 --> 08:53:30.159
the same.

3061
08:53:30.080 --> 08:53:35.319
When I say eight, when I say.

3062
08:53:34.959 --> 08:53:58.639
Seven, six, when I say five, four, when I say three, two,

3063
08:54:00.080 --> 08:54:01.080
and lastly you want to.

3064
08:54:01.119 --> 08:54:06.240
Say one, you can repeat that number.

3065
08:54:13.639 --> 08:54:13.840
Now.

3066
08:54:13.919 --> 08:54:19.520
Of course, when you do this on your own without

3067
08:54:19.599 --> 08:54:24.400
listening to me, you can say the numbers.

3068
08:54:24.080 --> 08:54:25.240
Or whatever.

3069
08:54:26.240 --> 08:54:34.720
Speed that you feel is necessary for you, so you

3070
08:54:34.799 --> 08:54:40.680
can adapt. So if you feel you want to say

3071
08:54:40.720 --> 08:54:46.599
the numbers ten down to one faster than I do,

3072
08:54:48.360 --> 08:54:51.000
then you go ahead and do that. Or if you

3073
08:54:51.080 --> 08:54:55.119
feel when you do it yourself that you'd like to

3074
08:54:55.319 --> 08:55:03.720
have more more space between the numbers, maybe take a

3075
08:55:03.759 --> 08:55:06.000
lot longer to.

3076
08:55:06.040 --> 08:55:07.319
Get from ten.

3077
08:55:09.119 --> 08:55:17.400
All the way down to one, that's your choice also

3078
08:55:17.680 --> 08:55:30.159
to do. So I'm going to count from ten down

3079
08:55:30.200 --> 08:55:39.200
to one, and when I get to one, that will

3080
08:55:39.279 --> 08:55:45.000
be the end of this recording, unless, of course, you're

3081
08:55:45.040 --> 08:56:04.279
listening with music, then the music will continue.

3082
08:55:56.680 --> 08:57:03.799
Ten nine, eight, four.

3083
08:58:03.520 --> 08:59:51.159
Five, fy.

3084
09:00:28.479 --> 09:01:37.520
Twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen twelve eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven.

3085
09:01:38.319 --> 09:01:39.040
Six.

3086
09:01:44.000 --> 09:02:10.759
Five four, three, two.

3087
09:02:05.840 --> 09:02:22.799
One, and now open your eyes, noticing how you physically

3088
09:02:22.840 --> 09:02:31.919
feel having counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress

3089
09:02:31.959 --> 09:02:35.880
and tension to leave through your fingertips and your toes.

3090
09:02:37.400 --> 09:02:42.080
And as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel

3091
09:02:42.119 --> 09:02:48.919
a little bit tingly, which is I suppose quite understanding,

3092
09:02:49.040 --> 09:02:54.200
considering the tension has been exiting your body through your fingertips.

3093
09:03:00.599 --> 09:03:02.639
So now I'm going to count from twenty down to

3094
09:03:02.680 --> 09:03:03.240
one again.

3095
09:03:03.680 --> 09:03:04.680
This time.

3096
09:03:08.560 --> 09:03:15.799
You're can feel relief of tension and stress and the anxiety.

3097
09:03:15.200 --> 09:03:16.119
That you may have.

3098
09:03:20.439 --> 09:03:28.880
Leaving through your stomach, just leaving through your stomach, almost

3099
09:03:28.880 --> 09:03:34.680
as if it's just releasing the whole of your stomach.

3100
09:03:35.400 --> 09:03:39.919
You will navel to just above your chest or below

3101
09:03:39.959 --> 09:03:44.240
your chest, rather so surrounding your belly button area, the

3102
09:03:44.360 --> 09:03:50.360
whole area. You can feel the tension of your body

3103
09:03:50.880 --> 09:03:56.439
wherever it's left, just releasing from that area, and you

3104
09:03:56.479 --> 09:04:01.439
may notice that your stomach will become very relaxed as

3105
09:04:01.720 --> 09:05:01.400
I countdown from twenty down to one. Now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten,

3106
09:05:05.759 --> 09:05:47.279
nine eight seven, six, five, four, three two one, and

3107
09:05:47.400 --> 09:05:50.000
you can open your eyes again if you choose, or

3108
09:05:50.040 --> 09:05:53.639
you can just keep them closed because it feels relaxing.

3109
09:05:55.919 --> 09:05:58.240
Just notice how your stomach feels.

3110
09:05:59.279 --> 09:06:02.959
I notice as your focus, just do a little scan

3111
09:06:03.200 --> 09:06:03.840
of your body.

3112
09:06:05.919 --> 09:06:08.000
Just notice how your body feels.

3113
09:06:09.160 --> 09:06:19.680
Focusing on your upper body, your back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,

3114
09:06:22.680 --> 09:06:29.680
just noticing, and you know, you may start to feel

3115
09:06:32.120 --> 09:06:35.919
more of a sense of tiredness, which may be the

3116
09:06:36.000 --> 09:06:42.080
reason you're listening to this recording because you would like

3117
09:06:42.319 --> 09:06:51.800
to let go completely of everything and drift off into

3118
09:06:51.879 --> 09:06:58.959
a nice, natural, calm, relaxing sleep.

3119
09:07:06.080 --> 09:07:08.279
So now we're going to focus.

3120
09:07:10.519 --> 09:07:17.360
On your forehead, and if you choose, you can incorporate

3121
09:07:17.400 --> 09:07:18.519
your eyes.

3122
09:07:18.120 --> 09:07:19.680
In this focus as well.

3123
09:07:21.239 --> 09:07:26.919
So your forehead and your eyes, it's that whole area basically,

3124
09:07:27.800 --> 09:07:29.879
almost as if you.

3125
09:07:29.279 --> 09:07:33.559
Were wearing a mask, you know, like a I don't know,

3126
09:07:33.559 --> 09:07:36.360
a Batman mask or something, or.

3127
09:07:38.400 --> 09:07:41.080
I'm trying to fa zorro or something, you know, the

3128
09:07:41.160 --> 09:07:44.279
kind of mask that covers your eyes but also covers

3129
09:07:44.319 --> 09:07:50.120
quite a lot of the forehead. And focusing on that

3130
09:07:50.279 --> 09:07:52.959
area because that's the area that we're now going to

3131
09:07:53.000 --> 09:07:59.400
release tension and stress from your mind, from your brain

3132
09:07:59.519 --> 09:08:03.080
and from your mind and any tension that you may

3133
09:08:03.199 --> 09:08:08.559
have remaining in your face, in your neck and your jawl,

3134
09:08:08.839 --> 09:08:09.360
in your.

3135
09:08:09.199 --> 09:08:13.360
Eyes, your forehead, and all your scalp.

3136
09:08:14.440 --> 09:08:20.639
So basically any tension within your head area, including your mind.

3137
09:08:20.959 --> 09:08:26.040
And your brain, and that's.

3138
09:08:25.879 --> 09:08:30.319
Going to be released through your forehead and your eyes.

3139
09:08:34.120 --> 09:08:39.839
As I count down again from twenty down to one

3140
09:08:40.360 --> 09:10:01.319
now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.

3141
09:10:06.599 --> 09:10:07.080
War.

3142
09:10:10.959 --> 09:10:30.559
Three two. What noticing.

3143
09:10:32.360 --> 09:10:39.000
As you scan your face, your jaw, your eyes, your

3144
09:10:39.080 --> 09:10:45.400
cheap bones, your ears, your forehead, your.

3145
09:10:45.160 --> 09:10:50.440
Scalp, your neck, the back of your neck and.

3146
09:10:50.480 --> 09:10:53.959
The front of your neck, the side of your neck,

3147
09:10:54.080 --> 09:10:54.839
and your throat.

3148
09:10:57.400 --> 09:11:08.839
Mm hmmm, noticing being aware of the comfort, increased feeling,

3149
09:11:09.040 --> 09:11:17.879
the relaxation, not just in your head and neck and mind,

3150
09:11:18.839 --> 09:11:27.680
also the rest of your body. Just notice how loose

3151
09:11:29.160 --> 09:11:33.279
and calm you feel, and how easily.

3152
09:11:34.919 --> 09:11:36.639
It is to just let go.

3153
09:11:39.279 --> 09:12:03.360
Completely, let go completely, how easily. So what I'm going

3154
09:12:03.440 --> 09:12:06.879
to do now is I want to focus on the

3155
09:12:06.919 --> 09:12:16.480
top of your head, and we're going to allow every

3156
09:12:17.120 --> 09:12:25.199
last piece of tension or stress that might be lingering

3157
09:12:25.440 --> 09:12:32.120
or hiding in your body or mind or head to just.

3158
09:12:33.760 --> 09:12:39.480
Be sucked out at the top of your head and

3159
09:12:39.680 --> 09:12:48.000
released into the air. Am sucked out into the clouds.

3160
09:12:50.599 --> 09:12:56.440
Imagine a big cloud above your head, almost like a whirlpool,

3161
09:12:57.239 --> 09:13:00.120
and this is going to suck that tension.

3162
09:13:01.239 --> 09:13:06.599
Out the top of your head and just take it away.

3163
09:13:08.120 --> 09:13:12.400
The good your focus.

3164
09:13:13.319 --> 09:13:17.599
Imagine an opening in the top of your head without

3165
09:13:17.919 --> 09:13:23.319
tension and stress and any remaining issues may be worries

3166
09:13:23.440 --> 09:13:26.120
or concerns that are no use to you.

3167
09:13:26.279 --> 09:13:28.760
Now you can all.

3168
09:13:28.519 --> 09:13:31.000
Be sucked out at the top of your head.

3169
09:13:32.440 --> 09:13:38.680
And taken away. As I count down again from twenty

3170
09:13:38.720 --> 09:15:35.919
down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three,

3171
09:15:36.360 --> 09:16:08.559
two three, noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm

3172
09:16:10.519 --> 09:16:23.279
you physically and mentally feel right now, how peaceful.

3173
09:16:24.680 --> 09:16:26.239
Your mind feels.

3174
09:16:28.839 --> 09:16:34.040
It feels so nice to just let go, to give

3175
09:16:34.040 --> 09:16:47.879
yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly, and

3176
09:16:48.080 --> 09:16:53.239
just to take a break from all that pointless worry

3177
09:16:53.400 --> 09:16:58.680
and concerns about things that you don't need to think

3178
09:16:58.720 --> 09:17:09.680
about right now, because this is your time to let go.

3179
09:17:10.959 --> 09:17:20.760
This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful

3180
09:17:20.839 --> 09:17:28.279
in your mind, relaxed in your body. They can feel

3181
09:17:28.680 --> 09:17:37.480
so good, so nice to just not have to do

3182
09:17:38.000 --> 09:17:49.279
anything to be able to really enjoy that serenity that

3183
09:17:49.360 --> 09:17:57.279
comes with letting go completely, that peacefulness.

3184
09:17:56.360 --> 09:18:05.720
That comes with being in this.

3185
09:18:07.279 --> 09:18:17.559
Peaceful space. And you can keep this sense of calmness

3186
09:18:18.199 --> 09:18:19.319
for as long.

3187
09:18:19.080 --> 09:18:20.160
As you choose.

3188
09:18:28.120 --> 09:18:33.879
If you choose to drift off into a deep, healing,

3189
09:18:34.199 --> 09:18:43.000
natural sleep, then you can do that. It's completely up

3190
09:18:43.040 --> 09:18:51.160
to you, and you can keep this feeling of calmness

3191
09:18:51.919 --> 09:18:56.239
physically and in your mind for as long as you

3192
09:18:56.440 --> 09:19:13.440
choose to feel completely relaxed, completely relax. And I'd like

3193
09:19:13.519 --> 09:19:19.599
you to make up your mind that you're going to relax,

3194
09:19:28.160 --> 09:19:31.040
and I want to explore that with you. What it

3195
09:19:31.120 --> 09:19:38.480
feels like when you actually decide that you're going to relax,

3196
09:19:40.120 --> 09:19:46.760
not forcing yourself, but giving yourself that. Yes, it is

3197
09:19:46.760 --> 09:19:48.080
a command, really, isn't it.

3198
09:19:48.120 --> 09:19:49.839
When you're telling yourself.

3199
09:19:51.319 --> 09:19:58.919
Relax in a gentle but firm way that only you

3200
09:19:59.040 --> 09:20:04.199
can really tell yourself in that way. You can't really

3201
09:20:04.199 --> 09:20:05.480
have someone else saying to you.

3202
09:20:05.519 --> 09:20:11.360
Now it relax, relax, you know, and it.

3203
09:20:11.360 --> 09:20:13.760
Needs to be gentle. But you can't someone else can't

3204
09:20:13.800 --> 09:20:23.120
really have the same the same kind of influence or

3205
09:20:23.160 --> 09:20:31.360
power that you have over your own physicality, over how

3206
09:20:31.519 --> 09:20:41.720
you feel, because when you say it to yourself it

3207
09:20:41.919 --> 09:20:49.800
means more. It's personal, and your brain and your unconscious

3208
09:20:49.959 --> 09:20:56.160
mind and your body listens to what you say. So,

3209
09:20:56.400 --> 09:20:59.959
for example, we'll test it out. We'll do a little test,

3210
09:21:00.319 --> 09:21:04.000
a few little tests along the way, and you can

3211
09:21:04.040 --> 09:21:10.360
get more of an idea of the force, the positive

3212
09:21:10.519 --> 09:21:16.959
force that you can have in creating a sense of

3213
09:21:17.239 --> 09:21:22.239
comfort and relaxation in your body and your mind quite

3214
09:21:22.319 --> 09:21:34.959
quickly just by you telling yourself to relax. So I

3215
09:21:35.080 --> 09:21:42.279
want to start by focus on your hands. So focus

3216
09:21:42.319 --> 09:21:45.000
on your hands and just tell your hands to relax.

3217
09:21:45.959 --> 09:21:50.959
I'd just say relax. As you focus on your hands,

3218
09:21:53.160 --> 09:21:57.720
you could say my hands are relaxed, or I want

3219
09:21:57.720 --> 09:21:58.919
my hands to relax.

3220
09:22:00.839 --> 09:22:02.160
But I think if you actually do.

3221
09:22:02.160 --> 09:22:03.480
It directly.

3222
09:22:05.839 --> 09:22:10.839
By focusing and imagining that your hands can hear what

3223
09:22:10.879 --> 09:22:13.000
you're saying, you know, like they've got little.

3224
09:22:12.760 --> 09:22:15.160
Ears, which is a bit weird.

3225
09:22:17.279 --> 09:22:28.199
So talking to your hands and just say relax, noticing

3226
09:22:34.319 --> 09:22:49.480
now your hands start to relax, now focus on your

3227
09:22:49.519 --> 09:22:51.959
eyes and tell your eyes to relax.

3228
09:22:53.080 --> 09:22:54.400
You're just saying the same.

3229
09:22:54.160 --> 09:23:03.519
Word relax, and find the right tone for you. You know,

3230
09:23:03.680 --> 09:23:07.639
I might say relax, but you you.

3231
09:23:07.599 --> 09:23:13.599
Might say relax or relax.

3232
09:23:14.080 --> 09:23:18.279
You know, you might say it differently to yourself, and

3233
09:23:19.239 --> 09:23:23.440
that's important for you to gauge.

3234
09:23:23.239 --> 09:23:28.319
What feels right for you. To just tell your.

3235
09:23:28.199 --> 09:23:33.839
Eyes to relax whilst focusing on your eyes, your eyelids,

3236
09:23:33.959 --> 09:23:39.360
the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and just tell

3237
09:23:39.440 --> 09:23:41.599
your eyes directly.

3238
09:23:43.800 --> 09:24:15.120
Relax. Now. Now, I just did that myself.

3239
09:24:14.919 --> 09:24:24.760
And sometimes you may feel that you need a bit

3240
09:24:24.839 --> 09:24:30.639
more time for the different parts to relax, you know,

3241
09:24:30.680 --> 09:24:35.199
because I start talking again and maybe that part hasn't

3242
09:24:35.239 --> 09:24:38.319
relaxed fully. But what will happen is that it will

3243
09:24:38.400 --> 09:24:42.800
just continue to relax even though I'm talking. And that's

3244
09:24:42.839 --> 09:24:50.440
happened with my eyes. Something else I noticed is when

3245
09:24:50.480 --> 09:24:54.639
I started focusing on my eyes, that actually almost became

3246
09:24:54.720 --> 09:24:56.959
They got worse before they got better in a way.

3247
09:24:57.599 --> 09:25:00.720
So I felt a degree of tension growing in my

3248
09:25:00.800 --> 09:25:06.839
eyes and then disappearing. So I think what that was

3249
09:25:06.879 --> 09:25:12.080
really was just me becoming more aware of the tension

3250
09:25:13.160 --> 09:25:17.480
that was already there. That I wasn't. I wasn't focused

3251
09:25:17.480 --> 09:25:22.720
on it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging it or

3252
09:25:24.919 --> 09:25:39.639
really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes are still

3253
09:25:39.680 --> 09:25:46.360
continuing to relax, as well as my hands. Actually, my

3254
09:25:46.480 --> 09:25:52.720
hands have got a certain kind of energy, like not buzzing,

3255
09:25:52.879 --> 09:25:57.800
but I can kind of feel a degree of energy

3256
09:25:57.839 --> 09:26:04.080
in my hands. Maybe that's where the tension is being released.

3257
09:26:05.919 --> 09:26:07.319
Maybe that's the cause in that.

3258
09:26:14.480 --> 09:26:16.720
The next part, I think we should focus on the

3259
09:26:16.760 --> 09:26:19.559
back of the neck. That's a part which quite often,

3260
09:26:21.559 --> 09:26:23.319
well for me, holds tension.

3261
09:26:23.360 --> 09:26:23.839
I don't know.

3262
09:26:23.760 --> 09:26:28.400
About for yourself, but I think it's quite a standard

3263
09:26:28.440 --> 09:26:35.559
place where tension is sometimes held. So, and I'm doing

3264
09:26:35.800 --> 09:26:38.480
exactly what you're doing as you do it as well,

3265
09:26:38.559 --> 09:26:42.599
so I'm telling my body parts to relax as well.

3266
09:26:43.279 --> 09:26:45.239
So if you tell your neck the back of.

3267
09:26:45.199 --> 09:26:47.879
Your neck, focus on the back of your neck, and

3268
09:26:47.959 --> 09:26:55.360
just say relax in your own words, in your own tone,

3269
09:26:55.680 --> 09:26:58.559
in your own voice. You can say out loud, or

3270
09:26:58.599 --> 09:27:03.680
you can just say it to yourself internally, but you're focusing,

3271
09:27:04.040 --> 09:27:07.959
and you're saying it literally to the back of your neck,

3272
09:27:08.760 --> 09:27:11.360
as if the back of your neck can actually hear

3273
09:27:12.080 --> 09:27:18.879
what you're saying, so do that now, just say relax

3274
09:27:19.360 --> 09:28:01.319
to the back of your neck and I'll do the same. Now,

3275
09:28:01.319 --> 09:28:06.440
what I noticed, and you may have had a similar thing, is,

3276
09:28:07.160 --> 09:28:09.800
even though I was focusing on the back of my neck,

3277
09:28:14.800 --> 09:28:21.440
other parts started to I don't know, show themselves to

3278
09:28:21.559 --> 09:28:24.959
me or maybe because they want to be relaxed as well.

3279
09:28:25.000 --> 09:28:29.760
But I started noticing the feelings in my shoulders, attention

3280
09:28:29.919 --> 09:28:35.559
in my shoulders and in my upper back. Whether that

3281
09:28:35.680 --> 09:28:41.040
was because my back of my neck was saying, well,

3282
09:28:41.040 --> 09:28:46.080
I'm pretty much okay. It's the other parts that need attention,

3283
09:28:52.440 --> 09:28:55.480
but my low back of my neck is still relaxing.

3284
09:28:56.919 --> 09:28:59.400
But I just became more aware of other parts that

3285
09:28:59.599 --> 09:29:08.360
needed attention. Now, this might happen and it's not. It

3286
09:29:08.360 --> 09:29:11.839
doesn't mean that it's going wrong. It just means you're

3287
09:29:11.879 --> 09:29:17.480
being notified of more places that also.

3288
09:29:17.360 --> 09:29:18.599
Want to feel relaxed.

3289
09:29:21.800 --> 09:29:24.839
So I'm going to focus on my upper back.

3290
09:29:26.120 --> 09:29:29.879
So you can do the same, even if you don't

3291
09:29:29.959 --> 09:29:34.919
have any feelings of tension that are obvious in your

3292
09:29:35.000 --> 09:29:39.040
upper back. If you just focus on your back and

3293
09:29:41.519 --> 09:29:46.440
the whole area from his shoulder blades down to the

3294
09:29:46.440 --> 09:29:50.639
middle of your back down his spine, and with me,

3295
09:29:50.760 --> 09:29:54.680
it's more the shoulder blades that are more.

3296
09:29:57.760 --> 09:30:03.279
Yeah, that's the parts that are really sort of giving me.

3297
09:30:04.879 --> 09:30:05.239
The not.

3298
09:30:07.160 --> 09:30:09.480
That it needs to relax in the Sun's gonna ask

3299
09:30:09.559 --> 09:30:12.839
that part to relax, and you can do the same.

3300
09:30:12.919 --> 09:30:25.599
Now relax up the back.

3301
09:30:38.000 --> 09:30:42.839
Something strange happened there, and this often happens.

3302
09:30:42.879 --> 09:30:43.639
I've been doing this.

3303
09:30:43.720 --> 09:30:52.559
For sixteen years or something, and often I'm I'm surprised,

3304
09:30:53.400 --> 09:31:00.239
but amazed really that there can be a feeling. So

3305
09:31:00.360 --> 09:31:03.000
when I was focusing on the back of my neck,

3306
09:31:03.839 --> 09:31:08.000
my upper back was starting to feel quite stressed and

3307
09:31:08.720 --> 09:31:10.000
in need of attention.

3308
09:31:12.440 --> 09:31:14.599
As soon as I started talking to.

3309
09:31:14.639 --> 09:31:19.440
You about my upper back and talking about, you know,

3310
09:31:19.800 --> 09:31:24.720
getting ready to ask the upper back to relax, my

3311
09:31:24.760 --> 09:31:30.559
other back already started to relax. It's almost as if

3312
09:31:30.599 --> 09:31:36.239
it doesn't need to hear the words, just needs attention,

3313
09:31:41.000 --> 09:31:52.400
just needs to be noticed. And that is something that

3314
09:31:52.639 --> 09:31:59.599
often happens in this type of situation, is when you

3315
09:31:59.680 --> 09:32:05.080
star aren't to relax a couple of parts of your body,

3316
09:32:06.120 --> 09:32:08.559
as we've done with our hands.

3317
09:32:09.040 --> 09:32:11.879
Our eyes and eyelids.

3318
09:32:12.720 --> 09:32:19.680
And now back of the neck, top of the back,

3319
09:32:21.639 --> 09:32:25.239
upper back, the rest of the body seems to just

3320
09:32:26.599 --> 09:32:36.480
take notice and decide in its own way to start relaxing.

3321
09:32:38.279 --> 09:32:41.239
Other parts of your body start to just.

3322
09:32:42.879 --> 09:32:43.720
Become looser.

3323
09:32:48.440 --> 09:32:51.279
I suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche,

3324
09:32:51.400 --> 09:32:56.160
you know, the little ball starts rolling, and before you

3325
09:32:56.279 --> 09:32:59.279
know it, the whole of your body is completely relaxed

3326
09:32:59.319 --> 09:33:16.000
and can't And if you focus on your face, you

3327
09:33:16.120 --> 09:33:23.720
focus on your eyes, your eyelids, your eyebrows, and the

3328
09:33:23.839 --> 09:33:32.720
muscles around your eyes, maybe you start to notice that.

3329
09:33:34.199 --> 09:33:36.720
Your forehead is more relaxed.

3330
09:33:36.239 --> 09:33:43.519
Than it was. Maybe your face is more relaxed. I

3331
09:33:43.519 --> 09:33:47.959
would say my entire face is.

3332
09:33:46.639 --> 09:34:02.360
A lot more relaxed than it was. Focus now on your.

3333
09:34:02.160 --> 09:34:09.800
Shoulders again, just like before, Just tell your shoulders. I

3334
09:34:09.839 --> 09:34:12.559
mean you can do them individually. You can do the

3335
09:34:12.680 --> 09:34:14.120
right shoulder, left shoulder.

3336
09:34:15.639 --> 09:34:17.839
I just generally do both at the same time.

3337
09:34:19.599 --> 09:34:23.000
And just tell your shoulders as you focus on them

3338
09:34:23.040 --> 09:34:29.040
in your mind, focus on how they feel. Maybe you

3339
09:34:29.120 --> 09:34:36.959
can see them in your mind's eye. Just tell your shoulders.

3340
09:34:40.120 --> 09:35:19.919
To relax as nice as they relax.

3341
09:35:30.319 --> 09:35:35.440
But I do notice, I mean, especially with my back,

3342
09:35:38.040 --> 09:35:45.160
is the connection between the different parts the back, the shoulders.

3343
09:35:44.599 --> 09:35:45.360
The neck.

3344
09:35:50.639 --> 09:35:55.120
Being all connected and being such a large part of

3345
09:35:55.160 --> 09:36:01.080
your body, it's always hard to set parade them from

3346
09:36:01.080 --> 09:36:09.160
each other. And my lower back has started to relax

3347
09:36:09.199 --> 09:36:09.800
on its own.

3348
09:36:15.959 --> 09:36:17.720
Maybe I'm going too slow.

3349
09:36:19.879 --> 09:36:23.319
And that could be an issue because we all go

3350
09:36:23.360 --> 09:36:29.720
at different speeds. And the idea at the beginning of

3351
09:36:29.760 --> 09:36:32.360
this recording was for you to be able to just

3352
09:36:32.599 --> 09:36:49.080
say to yourself, relax without focusing on any particular part

3353
09:36:49.199 --> 09:36:54.800
of your body. Because when you know that tenving your

3354
09:36:55.120 --> 09:37:07.879
hands to relax and your hands relax. You tell your

3355
09:37:07.919 --> 09:37:15.199
eyelids and your eyes, the muscles around your eyes and

3356
09:37:15.319 --> 09:37:22.680
your eyebrows to relax, and they relax.

3357
09:37:28.360 --> 09:37:31.040
You tell the back of your neck.

3358
09:37:34.120 --> 09:37:50.440
To relax, and it relaxes. You tell your upper back.

3359
09:37:56.879 --> 09:38:08.760
To relax, and it relaxes.

3360
09:38:16.360 --> 09:38:18.279
You tell your shoulders.

3361
09:38:19.639 --> 09:38:56.559
To relax, and they relax. When you told your hands

3362
09:38:56.599 --> 09:39:01.040
to relax, they relaxed, and they can tell you need.

3363
09:39:02.199 --> 09:39:02.879
To relax.

3364
09:39:08.639 --> 09:39:09.760
When you told your.

3365
09:39:09.639 --> 09:39:17.559
Eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows to relax,

3366
09:39:19.519 --> 09:39:34.480
they relaxed and continue to relax. When you told the

3367
09:39:34.519 --> 09:39:37.879
back of your neck, focus on the back of your

3368
09:39:37.919 --> 09:39:51.680
neck and told it to relax, they relaxed and continued

3369
09:39:53.160 --> 09:40:08.239
to relax. And you told your up back to relax,

3370
09:40:10.199 --> 09:40:25.199
be relaxed, and continued to relax. As with your shoulders,

3371
09:40:27.599 --> 09:40:34.239
you told your shoulders to relax, and your shoulders relaxed

3372
09:40:34.680 --> 09:40:37.440
and continued.

3373
09:40:41.440 --> 09:40:53.319
To relax. And it's not just that, it's.

3374
09:40:55.440 --> 09:40:59.879
That the rest of your body has also been listening,

3375
09:41:01.559 --> 09:41:07.720
and the relaxation has been spread in so from your eyes,

3376
09:41:08.000 --> 09:41:15.440
the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face, into

3377
09:41:15.519 --> 09:41:18.319
your skin, into your jaw,
