00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:09.439
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. Money Miss Jason Newland,

2
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:15.240
please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

3
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.879
This is let me boil your pain away. So also

4
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.559
only listen to this when, first of all, you know

5
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:31.399
the cause of your chronic pain condition, and also you've

6
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.520
been diagnosed by a doctor and a doctor has given

7
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:44.039
you permission to listen to this particular recording. Now, what

8
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.200
I'll do before we go further to let you know,

9
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.000
I do have a Facebook page, Jason Newland's Boring Group.

10
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.200
I have a YouTube channel which is also got all

11
00:00:53.240 --> 00:01:01.600
my podcast episodes on It's at Jason Newland, and I

12
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.079
basically do six versions of each recording, one with music,

13
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.519
one without music, five and ten hours with and without music.

14
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:20.599
And the five and ten hours also have like affirmations,

15
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.760
counting down, body scans, relaxation, So it's you know, it's

16
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:29.239
you can have ten hours of me just talking softly

17
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.120
with or without music. So today what the main let's

18
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.040
give you like a summary of what these podcasts are.

19
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.560
Let Me Boil your Pain Away is something that I've

20
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.359
been doing for a while, but I think this is

21
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.799
the thirty first recording I started doing it. A bit

22
00:01:53.040 --> 00:02:00.319
more regularly and recently, so it's just here, me here

23
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.840
to help, to try and what as it says on

24
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.479
the tin, you know, let me bore your pain away.

25
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:16.439
I've actually got a lovely comment on my group, my

26
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:22.159
Jason Newland's Boring group on Facebook from Ali says, not

27
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.639
sure the best way to leave your feedback, but especially

28
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.000
after I I think Friday's recording where you admitted that

29
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.000
you have no idea if let Me Bore your Pain

30
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.120
Away was helping anyone, which is true. I have not

31
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:41.879
really had much feedback on these recordings, and Ali goes

32
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.199
on to say, I've been meaning to say something even

33
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.639
before you said that. These recordings especially have been helping

34
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.560
me enormously this year. I've had multiple health issues since

35
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.439
the start of the year and sphere nerve pain and

36
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.319
going too much detail, but since February. So I'm beyond

37
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:08.479
appreciate it appreciated for being bored to not feel the

38
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.159
pain so intensely. And please let you know that you're

39
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.319
helping so many people. Thank you, and love to Vinnie

40
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:17.719
as well, So thank you very much.

41
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:18.000
Ali.

42
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.280
I mean it's you know, for every I kind of

43
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.800
figured out years ago that for every one person that

44
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.840
does actually say something like say that it's useful. There's

45
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.360
going to be other people out there that also feel

46
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:33.919
the same way.

47
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:34.879
They just haven't.

48
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:41.639
Got round to leaving a message or sending a message

49
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.599
or leaving a comment. And a lot of that is

50
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:53.360
possibly due to even not wanting to. But also when

51
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.319
you're listening to me, because I'm guessing a lot of

52
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.599
people would be sitting or lying down with their eyes closed.

53
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:05.719
You're not going to want to jump up and so

54
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.680
let me have a look at my phone and post

55
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.680
a message because you're relaxing. So it's fine, but it's

56
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.360
lovely to hear messages like that or to read messages

57
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:22.000
like that. It does make a big difference to me

58
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:28.000
and give me more of a i don't know, more enthusiasm.

59
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.680
I guess to keep doing it. So, yeah, this is

60
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:41.000
number thirty one. So I've been doing it quite regularly recently.

61
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.040
And what I started, and I'm kind of playing around

62
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.240
with different ideas and I talk about various different chronic

63
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:59.000
pain relief techniques. So what I started yesterday is looking

64
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:04.839
through lots different books and so you've got hypnosis Chronic

65
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.319
Pain Management Therapist Guide by Mark P.

66
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:10.079
Jensen.

67
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.879
Entire book is on hypnosis for chronic pain, and it's

68
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.560
based on research at the University of Washington Pain Center.

69
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:31.319
It's got detailed hypnosis scripts and cognitive behavior techniques combined

70
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.600
with hypnotic methods, and there's a few books that's have

71
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.439
come up. So what I'm going to do. What I've

72
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.160
started doing is just focusing on that book. I've got

73
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.319
my bookshelf as well, but I've used chat GPT just

74
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:52.600
to scan through the book and go through various different things.

75
00:05:52.759 --> 00:06:00.199
So what stuck out mostly was if I can find mind,

76
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:08.480
it is the key techniques. So the key techniques of

77
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:18.399
this book pain dissociation, altered sensory experience, time distortion, pain blocking, imagery,

78
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:26.839
empowerment scripts, and post hypnotic cues. So what I'm going

79
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:32.480
to do is talk about each of those one at

80
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:38.000
a time. So yesterday I talked about pain dissociation. Today

81
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:44.519
I'm going to discuss altered sensory experience, which is changing

82
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:51.040
the feeling of pain into another sensation like warmth for coolness.

83
00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:00.720
So that's what I'm focusing on in this recording. Basically,

84
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:08.000
altered sensory experiences uses hypnotic suggestions to transform the felt

85
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:14.519
quality of pain into something neutral or even pleasant, which

86
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:20.759
dramatically reduces the emotional and sensory intensity of chronic pain.

87
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.720
So it's changing the feeling ultimately. And because our imaginations

88
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:33.800
are so powerful, and it's just amazing how powerful our

89
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:38.000
imaginations are. Now, we think about something and it's almost

90
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.199
like our brain doesn't even know the difference between what's

91
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.519
real and what's actually being imagined. You imagine they're having

92
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:50.560
your feet in a cold river. You're sitting on the

93
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.199
edge of a river bank and just got your feet

94
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.959
in the cold river. And the more you get into it,

95
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:02.879
the cooler your feet become. Because you know, even if

96
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.360
you had never done that, you've probably done something similar.

97
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.319
You know what it's like to have your feet in

98
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.360
cold water at some point, even if it's just stepping

99
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:23.160
into a getting into a swim swim pool, or paddling

100
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:27.040
in the sea, or getting into a bath that's a

101
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.920
bit cold. I think you have to wait until it's

102
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:35.639
heated up. And there's lots of different scenarios stepping into

103
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.080
a puddle, so we know what it feels like and

104
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:47.639
to have cold water on your foot, and when you

105
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.240
imagine that feeling, it's really weird. The more you talk

106
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.480
about it, the more you focus on it, the more

107
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:57.759
you start to have that coolness feeling in your feet,

108
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:03.320
And it's just weird. It's weird. It's kind of I

109
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.639
guess it's obvious that it's going to happen, but the

110
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.320
same side, it might feel a bit strange that it's happening,

111
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:18.120
because why we're just thinking about something cause the feelings,

112
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.159
the physical feelings in your feet to change.

113
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:24.320
But then.

114
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.960
It's the same thing with emotions, isn't it. When we

115
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:34.440
focus on something, the feelings get stronger. If you focus

116
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.799
on how much you care about someone, or you focus

117
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:46.799
about something that you're angry about, those emotions increase because

118
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:51.000
you're focused on it. So if you focus on just

119
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:56.159
like how you feel now emotionally, and now focus on

120
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.639
someone the absolutely adore. It could be grandchild, it could

121
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:07.000
be your parent, it could be your partner, it could

122
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.919
be your own child. It could be your dog, or

123
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.000
your cat, or your ferret or your goldfish, it could

124
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:20.919
be anything, any any kind of person, and focus on them,

125
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.840
and just focus on that person. You might be able

126
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.399
to see their face in your mind and your imagination.

127
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.720
Maybe you can kind of hear their voice, their smile.

128
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:36.399
Maybe it's just a feeling. You have a really strong feeling,

129
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:48.559
and maybe that feeling causes you to smile because it's pleasurable,

130
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.200
and maybe you're thinking about something funny that they did,

131
00:10:54.080 --> 00:11:04.960
something cute that they did, and it feels nice. I mean, technically,

132
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.039
you could perhaps move that feeling into the body part

133
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.519
that you've been having problems with, and notice what happens there.

134
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.519
I guess that's I'm going to move it into my

135
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.120
lower back. At the moment, it's kind of in my

136
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.240
head and my chest, so I can move it into

137
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.360
my lower back. It's strange.

138
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:31.960
It's just weird the.

139
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:41.159
Way it's kind of just moved. Ah. So it's changed.

140
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.840
And it's weird because it's not a feeling that I

141
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:56.000
can actually really verbalize, as in, you know, you've got comfort, discomfort.

142
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.639
Hot, cold.

143
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:04.480
This is an emotion, but it's also a feeling. I

144
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:15.600
suppose I'd describe it as a kind of a lightness, cool, uplifting, gentle,

145
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:38.399
very gentle, somewhere that only comfort could be Sometimes, I

146
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:45.679
think comfort can can only be comfortable when that comfort's there,

147
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.879
nothing else can really be there. I'm just trying to

148
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.519
think of like a little little child's hands, you know,

149
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.120
like a two year old child hands. Put their hands together,

150
00:12:55.159 --> 00:13:01.879
and you can maybe put a grape or maybe maybe

151
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.559
like a little pair can put in their hands and

152
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:10.080
they can hold it. But you put a watermelon in

153
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.679
it in their hands, and they're probably going to drop

154
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.879
it because their hands aren't really suitable for holding watermelons.

155
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.000
Weird analogy. I just realize it's quite a strange thing

156
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:23.879
to say. But at the same time, the hands are

157
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:33.639
not suited for that, suited for small, gentle things. And

158
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:40.960
when you've got a nice emotion moves into a part

159
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:49.799
of your body, then it feels different. The weird thing, though,

160
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:56.519
I find with nice feelings is even when it moves,

161
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.639
it's spread to my lower back, but it's spread to

162
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.200
all of my body. My whole body is feeling quite

163
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:01.960
good right now.

164
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:19.279
Oh that's nice. Ah, yeah, it's nice. It's nice sometimes

165
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:26.440
just to take some time to relax, you know, take

166
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.200
some time to just let go.

167
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:36.720
I got the window open. There's the birdies singing downstairs.

168
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:40.480
I haven't a bathroom refitted, so it's been it's been

169
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:44.039
a fair bit of noise down there. There's proper building

170
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:50.360
work going on. I'm hoping that it will be fairly calm.

171
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.759
It has been for the last hour or so, so

172
00:14:53.799 --> 00:15:00.600
I'm hoping it's going to be calm. If there is

173
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.480
background sound, it doesn't really matter because this is not

174
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:11.440
a sleep recording, or they may find yourself drifting off.

175
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.279
And if you don't like it sounds about birds in

176
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.600
the background, then you need to have a word with

177
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.480
the birds, because even if the window was closed, i'd

178
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:29.000
still hear them. They're very loud sometimes, but I'm a

179
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:36.480
big fan of birds singing. It's beautiful. I think I

180
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:40.600
did as someone complain once saying, I like your recordings.

181
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:44.519
This is a sleep recordings, and I like the recordings,

182
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:48.159
but will you shut them bloody birds up? Like, yeah,

183
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.200
I'm not supposed to shut It's hard because they're up

184
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.720
at like three in the morning in the summer, the

185
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.559
peak the peak hours. You know, they're up really early

186
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:07.960
until really late. And that tree was there long before

187
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.799
I was here, and I'm guessing that tree was possibly

188
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:16.360
there before this building was even here. This building's been

189
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:21.440
here since about nineteen seventy eight.

190
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:29.279
So basically.

191
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:39.080
You've got altered century experience, also known as century substitution

192
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:45.840
or transformation. So there's different ways of doing this really,

193
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.000
I mean, it's going to list some ways to do

194
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.759
it from the book, but I know about this anyway.

195
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:54.000
So this here's something I used to do.

196
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:55.840
So I used to.

197
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:08.000
Let's say someone's got a problem in their left one

198
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.359
part of their body. So for example, the left side

199
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:16.920
of my right if I focus, I can get the

200
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:20.119
pain back in my chronic in my lower back. I

201
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:26.960
focus on it, yeah, because arthritis, it's kind of it's there,

202
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:35.480
but I can like manipulate it a bit. So okay, right,

203
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.160
So I can't get it to be when I'm doing

204
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.960
his recordings, Opal, you don't bark, plase mate. When I

205
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:47.240
do these recordings, I can't get it to be high

206
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.640
because it just won't. Because when I'm making these recordings,

207
00:17:53.680 --> 00:18:00.480
I'm in a certain state of mind, very peaceful, calm,

208
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:09.799
relaxed mode, you know, mentally physically as well actually, to

209
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:10.559
be fair.

210
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.039
And.

211
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:21.039
There's very limited you're not much in a way as

212
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.599
stress going on in my body or my mind. My

213
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.920
mind does slow down, but it's also operating in you know,

214
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:37.319
in a way that that allows me to work to

215
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:45.200
talk m hm. So if I focus on my left

216
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.240
side of my back. This is something you can do

217
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:53.519
if you've got like a mirror to where you I say,

218
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.279
it's your left hand that was the problem, or your

219
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:01.000
left need it was a problem, or or your shoulders

220
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:06.640
or whatever. As an example. Doesn't have to be the

221
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.160
other side, doesn't have to be like you're right here,

222
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:13.519
you left knee like that, but it can be useful.

223
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.400
I mean, you can just do a completely different part

224
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.960
of your body if you want. So if someone had

225
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.079
a bad like a wrist, problems with their left wrist,

226
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:28.920
they could focus on I don't know, you could focus

227
00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.160
on your shoulder, you can focus on your lower back,

228
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.599
or you can focus on your jaw, doesn't really matter.

229
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.319
So you focus on the first part of your body,

230
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.920
the part that was problematic to start with before you

231
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:46.799
start listening to this, and then choose another part of

232
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:51.400
your body to focus on, a part that feels absolutely fine.

233
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:58.559
And this is a way where you can maybe start

234
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:04.400
to neutralize that physical sensation. So if I focus on

235
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.720
my lower back and then focusing, I'm gonna do it

236
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.079
with my hands. I focus on my lower back, then

237
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:19.240
focus on my right hand. Okay, focus on my lower back,

238
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.759
focus on my right hand, and I'm not trying to

239
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:30.839
do anything with my right hand. I'm not trying to

240
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.319
do anything on my left with my lower back either.

241
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:42.200
It's a technique with an outcome. We don't really need

242
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:48.960
to focus on the outcome, not really, although you know,

243
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:56.400
there's the benefits of expectation when you expect it to

244
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:01.200
be useful and to work. And they say, I focus

245
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:04.880
on the left side of my lower back, and then

246
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.359
I focus on the right side of my lower back,

247
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:13.240
and I expect that by doing that, I keep moving

248
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:18.200
between the different sides, that the left side will start

249
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:27.440
to become almost neutral. So there's that expectation. But I

250
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:32.559
think that even without the expectation, even without expecting what

251
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:38.119
I talk about to work really well for you, it

252
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.319
can still be useful because you're learning and finding out

253
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:47.039
for yourself what is useful for you. Because we're all differently,

254
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:53.119
and one thing might be more helpful than another thing.

255
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.160
You may find that as soon as you start listening

256
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.799
to my voice, that something changes within your mind and

257
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.480
your body. And the more often you listen to me,

258
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:09.799
whether it's to let me boil you to sleep or

259
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:13.839
let me buoil your pain away, whether it's whatever it is,

260
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:21.519
you might find that you just to automatically feel more relaxed.

261
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:30.640
And when you feel relaxed, those parts of your body

262
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:36.960
that maybe had a degree of discomfort before you started

263
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:44.119
listening to me start to automatically neutralize in their own

264
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:51.319
time without any effort on your part. But for the

265
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:56.039
sake of this recording, that's probably worth maybe focus now

266
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.799
on doing some of the exercises. But I'm not going

267
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:04.559
to ask you to do anything difficult, and I'm not

268
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.559
even going to ask you to necessarily do anything. It's

269
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:14.839
just about imagining. If you were to do it, I'm

270
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:17.519
going to do it, and I'll talk you through how

271
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.759
it feels for me. And if you want to join

272
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:31.799
in and participate, then of course you can. But it's

273
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:41.640
up to you. You may just decire to listen, wrap

274
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:48.599
your mind around the ideas, and some of these ideas

275
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.200
may stay.

276
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:50.519
With you.

277
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:57.680
So you can change. I mean, that's different ways of

278
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:04.039
doing this can change how it feels by not even

279
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:11.440
trying to change how it feels. So with that technique,

280
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:20.400
it's the time for bell I think. So for that technique,

281
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:25.839
I've just focusing on different parts of your body, like

282
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:29.079
you know, say, for me my lower back, left side,

283
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:33.319
then my right side, then my left side, then my

284
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:38.759
right side, left side, the right side. And what tends

285
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:51.279
to happen is changes occur naturally automatically without really I

286
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.480
mean you could say, well, I wasn't say without doing anything.

287
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.559
You are focusing, so I guess you are doing something,

288
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:07.839
and maybe the fact that you're expecting changes to occur

289
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:18.559
it is also having a positive effect on how you

290
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:26.240
feel differently. Now, it's not like we're trying to eliminate

291
00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:35.240
the physical discomfort directly. Instead, when you even focus on

292
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:41.640
changing the sensory qualities, and so you're focusing on maybe

293
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:47.480
changing or imagining, just imagining it's changing, so you can

294
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:54.880
focus on things like temperature changing hot to cool or

295
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:59.519
cold to warm, you know, whichever suits you. Then this

296
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:04.240
texture changing sharp to smooth.

297
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:07.319
And color.

298
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:11.440
This is something that I've done. One of my earliest

299
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:16.680
things I used to do with helping people with chronic

300
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:22.920
pain is changing the color. So I would start off

301
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.200
with the color that the person has already, So I

302
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:30.359
just get the person and get you to imagine that

303
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:36.119
part of your body just moving it out of your

304
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:41.079
body like it was a circle, like it was an object.

305
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:46.680
Just moving out in front of you and just noticing

306
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:54.960
what color is naturally as the bathroom continues to be built.

307
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.960
I hope you can't hear that too much. A lot

308
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:05.240
lot I can do about it. It's either do this.

309
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:08.599
I watch television, and I think this is a bit

310
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.880
more useful of my time. So you can imagine this

311
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.039
thing moving out of your body, the part of the

312
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:20.759
body that physical sensation. You can give it a color.

313
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.599
You could call it angry red and then change it,

314
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:29.559
or you can just what color is already naturally in

315
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.839
your mind. So you do this with your eyes closed.

316
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:37.240
If you can visualize of your eyes open, you could

317
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:38.640
do it with your eyes open. It's up to you.

318
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:44.640
And then just change the color. Change it from red

319
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:49.279
to blue. Then maybe change it for blue to yellow,

320
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:58.880
change it from yellow to green, green to orange, and

321
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:04.519
just changing it all time, moving around, just you know,

322
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:09.279
playing with the different colors. But there's more you can

323
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:12.319
do with that. So you've got it in front of you,

324
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:15.160
You've got this image in front of you. You can

325
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:19.440
change the shape. So if it comes out and it's

326
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:26.839
a triangle, or if it's spiky, spiky, you can change

327
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:33.960
that shape so it's a soft circle and then turns

328
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:40.599
into a triangle or a rectangle or just a blob.

329
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:48.799
Maybe it becomes fainter, so not quite as clear, like

330
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:54.960
you've changed the focus on the lens. And then you

331
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.480
can perhaps move it away so it's further away, and

332
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.079
as we all know, can have a big impact on

333
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.559
how you feel differently from what you did before when

334
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:16.000
that feeling is pushed away, and then you can move it.

335
00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:21.079
You can turn it around, if it's already spinning in

336
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:24.920
a certain direction, to stop it and turn it around

337
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:30.359
and spin it the other way, and notice how that feels,

338
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.640
because that can reverse the way you were feeling before.

339
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.400
So you can actually start by imagining the spinning wheel

340
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:47.640
it's a spinning wheel, and stopping it and spinning it

341
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:52.720
the other way, and just notice how that feels differently,

342
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.960
and you spin it the opposite way. You could even

343
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:02.359
speed up the spin in the opposite way, so the

344
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:12.599
feeling turns from neutral to even pleasurable. You can move

345
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:16.440
it even further away to the point where you can

346
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:21.960
you can nail it against the wall far away so

347
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.000
it can't move, nail it in so it's in the wall,

348
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.279
can't move. Maybe add some super glued to the back

349
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:36.480
of it first, and then you can turn around in

350
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:42.640
your mind and look at something else, focusing on something different,

351
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:53.319
noticing feeling relaxed. Maybe there's a sound connected to it.

352
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:59.240
Maybe you can hear buzzing or humming. So perhaps you

353
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:04.920
can just turn that volume down so it's silent, or

354
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:13.440
maybe change it from buzzing to humming. Maybe even give

355
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:22.000
that image a silly tune. So when you focus on

356
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:25.200
that image that you've pushed out of your body, or

357
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.880
whenever you think about that part of your body where

358
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:31.079
that discomfort used to be, you have a silly tune.

359
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:35.400
I always like to think of the Benny Hill theme tune.

360
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:37.119
You know, do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

361
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:42.759
Do Do Do do that one. But it can be anything.

362
00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:46.599
It can be the most sticky Barbie Girl. It could

363
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:54.920
be a song that you find silly. So this tricks

364
00:31:54.920 --> 00:32:01.079
the brain into reinterpreting the signal, which reduces stress and

365
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:07.079
often the physical intensity itself. It's like you're telling the brain,

366
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:12.799
this is not dangerous. This is something different. Now, it's

367
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:18.480
a different feeling. It's a different sensation because the brain

368
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:27.000
interprets that physical feeling based on context and meaning. It's

369
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:34.599
not a fixed experience, and we're always changing anyway. How

370
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:37.720
we feel is changing all the way through the day.

371
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.480
How you felt at the beginning of this recording, or

372
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:47.359
before you started listening to my squeaky voice, it's going

373
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:51.039
to feel different to how you feel now. Say now

374
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.519
about my voice, I feel like I might my voice

375
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:59.839
is getting a little bit. I don't know. We need

376
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:03.279
to water. Does feel a little bit? It just a

377
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:08.599
little bit. I feel like I'm turning into a daralek.

378
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:17.400
I wonder what, Yeah, you can relax relax, that's that

379
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:21.160
would be? Would it work? Come set, calm yourself down,

380
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:28.599
Focus on your mind, focus on your brain, relax. I

381
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:31.160
tell it's weird because I've done I've been doing body

382
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:36.640
scans for years and years and years, and someone found

383
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.839
out my telephone number somehow, and they left me a

384
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:43.480
message on my phone on my answer machine, and the

385
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:58.559
message was this, relax your face, relax your hands, relax,

386
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:02.160
and they started going through body parts that I wouldn't

387
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:06.599
normally talk about in a body scan, and they started

388
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:11.639
laughing hysterically and hung up. To this day, I still

389
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:17.920
do not know who it was. That was about wow,

390
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:26.280
thirteen years ago. So physical sensations. As I said, it's

391
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:33.199
always changing, always changing, and it involves multiple pain areas

392
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:36.639
or brain areas. The pain involves with multiple brain areas,

393
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:40.400
has done all other feelings always, It's not just one

394
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:46.239
particular part of your brain. So you've got the sensory cortex,

395
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:52.960
the emotion center, attention networks. So there's a lot more

396
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:56.960
going on, but again down to what you're focusing on

397
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:04.920
as well. And also by changing how or telling how

398
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:09.280
the brain how to label the feelings, such as when

399
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:15.159
you're changing it to warmth or tingling or vibration, it

400
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:23.039
then down grades or down regulates that physical perception changes

401
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:32.800
how you feel. Now you are retraining the brain to

402
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:37.920
reinterpret the signal. I mean, it's a little bit like

403
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:41.800
I talked about this thing maybe yesterday or the day before.

404
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:44.400
It's not my story. It's just a story that I've

405
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:47.719
heard multiple times about a man on a building's site

406
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:51.840
and he stands on a nail, goes through his boot.

407
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:57.719
He's screaming in agony, gets taken to the hospital and

408
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:04.239
you know, they to find basically like his boot filled

409
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:11.480
with blood because I had to remove the it was

410
00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:13.800
a really big It's one of those big spiky nails

411
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:18.079
that you got on building sites. Wasn't a small now anyway,

412
00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:20.880
when they actually cut his shoe off or his boot off,

413
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.039
they nail had gone through his between his big toe

414
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:27.639
and his and his first thing, yeah, the first finger,

415
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:34.719
the first toe hadn't even touched his toes, so in

416
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:42.559
that second his brain retrained. So his brain was being

417
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:51.039
retrained to reinterpret the signal like instantly. And the weird

418
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:56.159
thing about it is it's intro I just find that interesting.

419
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:00.920
But as soon as he saw his own eyes that

420
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:05.119
there is no damage. His foot had not even been touched.

421
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:10.320
And I don't know if he was wearing clown shoes

422
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:18.719
or something, but it's like didn't hurt anymore, which just

423
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:26.880
goes to show that our brain is responsible. And it

424
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:31.719
still blows my mind really, the fact that all physical

425
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.599
sensations come from the brain, but the brain has no

426
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:40.400
physical sensations in it. There are no nerve endings in

427
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:47.000
the brain, which has feeling. People can have brain surgery

428
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:49.360
while they're awake as long as I have local anesthetic,

429
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:56.360
they don't feel a single thing when the brain's being whatever.

430
00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:58.880
It's because they scooped out, but you know, whatever, they

431
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.960
do with the brain. No physical discomfort, no physical feelings.

432
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:13.079
They love emotions that have smells, they'll have sensations caused

433
00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:17.320
by different parts of the body being different parts of

434
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.199
the brain activating different things in the body. But there's

435
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:26.760
no pain sensation in the brain. So the part of

436
00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:29.400
the brain, the part of the body, causes the pain,

437
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:32.119
but there's no pain in the brain. Even though the

438
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:34.400
brain causes the pain, there's no pain in the brain.

439
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:38.199
It's just it's a weird concept. And I still struggle

440
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:42.480
with that one. It's not that difficult I suppose to understand,

441
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:48.320
but it still seems like weird. It's it's just strange.

442
00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:59.519
So retraining the brain, that's kind of a supposed part

443
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:05.119
of what we do here, what we're doing. And also

444
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:11.480
our opinions can change in an instant. Our feelings, our thoughts,

445
00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:20.920
our interpretations of something can change so quickly, you know,

446
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:25.239
if you sometimes just one little bit of information can

447
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:32.280
transform the situation. I remember Big Brother. I was watching

448
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:35.400
Big Brother years ago, and they're all in the garden.

449
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:40.360
You haven't seen it. It's a TV show like reality show,

450
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:44.880
cameras and stuff, so there's loads of them in the garden.

451
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:48.000
It's right at the early I think things just farted.

452
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:53.960
It could be me, but hopefully not. And they're all

453
00:39:54.000 --> 00:40:00.719
in the garden and they're talking about loss. She was

454
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:06.920
getting quite a heavy conversation, and one of the ladies said, my,

455
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:13.800
you know, my child drowned, and they were all like

456
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:19.360
cuddling her and like just she was crying and everyone

457
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:27.599
was like upset and crying. And then when all that finished,

458
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:34.840
she started saying about she's looking forward to seeing her

459
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:37.320
daughter again when she gets out. And they said, what,

460
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:39.400
how many daughters?

461
00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:39.719
You got?

462
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:44.840
Just one? But you said that she drowned. Said, oh, yes,

463
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:52.440
she did, but she she got resuscitated instantly. And I'm

464
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.599
talking within a second, with an instant, less than a second.

465
00:40:56.840 --> 00:41:00.679
All those people that were around her comfort to her,

466
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:06.840
that had all this emotion, it turned to anger because

467
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:13.400
they felt misled or manipulated or whatever. They turned to

468
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:19.760
anger because they felt that she had just blatantly lied.

469
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:24.320
She didn't start, you know. I mean, it's a heavy subject,

470
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:29.400
I know, but it was so interesting to see because

471
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:31.760
I drowned. I drowned in a swimming pool, but I

472
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:35.639
got resuscitated, so technically I did drown, but I didn't die.

473
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:41.159
But you know, it's a big difference, isn't there if

474
00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:44.159
you get saved. I imagine there's millions of people that

475
00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:49.119
have been saved over the years. But and I wasn't

476
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:51.960
in hospital. I just got you know. It was in

477
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.920
the seventies. There is a new new fad. We had

478
00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:59.639
wave machines in swimming pools, and I couldn't swim anyway,

479
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:03.599
so I was always at the side. But I got

480
00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:06.800
pulled away from the side by the wave machine and

481
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:09.840
I just went to the bottom of the just basically

482
00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:16.400
luckily someone had done. But I guess it's probably the

483
00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:21.079
swimming guard or whatever came and saved me. And I've

484
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:23.639
never really been able to I've never felt comfortable in

485
00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:28.840
water since, really above my chest, Like I'm okay, I'm

486
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:32.280
good at paddling. See, if I was really tall, i'd

487
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:35.360
be okay. If I was about, I don't know, twenty

488
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:39.719
foot tall, I'd love a swimming pool. Becaud still be

489
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:44.280
you know, above my chest, wouldn't it. I'd be above

490
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:47.360
my knees. I supposed to be fair or below my knees,

491
00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:54.159
below my chest, one of them. But they'd changed instantly,

492
00:42:55.280 --> 00:43:05.360
that extra little bit of information. Sometimes looking what else.

493
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:10.320
So you've got different things you can choose, like thermal shift,

494
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:14.760
which you kind of talked about earlier. Imagine in applying

495
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:22.320
cool gel, water, ice or warmth. So I do this

496
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:27.920
sometimes when it's hot. I imagine getting because you can

497
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:31.400
get those cool gel masks, can't you that you can

498
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:34.239
put on your eyes and stuff that you're put in

499
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.320
the freezer or fridge or whatever. I used to use

500
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:42.440
some years ago, And sometimes I just imagine it on

501
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:49.000
my forehead or on my eyes, a nice cool towel,

502
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:56.400
like a wet towel or something like that, or imagine

503
00:43:56.559 --> 00:44:05.239
ice melting on my forehead. Something I do like to

504
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:09.719
imagine is standing under a waterfall, but not like a

505
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:15.800
really big waterfall, just one that's it feels really nice

506
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:18.559
to stand under. I don't know, I'm not talking about

507
00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:24.199
Niagara falls or anything. It'd be harder just to stand

508
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:27.880
un under Niagara falls. You'd need some kind of a

509
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:33.440
safety now, I suppose, But just having that water falling

510
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:41.039
on top of your head gentle enough to be the

511
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:55.679
most amazing scalp message. That's really nice. You can use

512
00:44:55.760 --> 00:45:00.400
different textures, you know, because if you imagine sort of

513
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.199
a part of your body feeling like let's say, like sandpaper,

514
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:11.639
you can imagine it changing into a much softer material

515
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:19.679
like silk, or I suppose gentle rubber if you like rubber,

516
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:29.559
or just a smooth surface, maybe like leather. Leather can

517
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:40.639
be quite smooth. Because you know, if you're wearing uncomfortable shoes,

518
00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:47.519
when you take those shoes off, it feels so nice,

519
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:50.559
doesn't it. Or even if you're wearing comfortable shoes and

520
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:53.079
you've been walking around for ages or been wearing the

521
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:57.320
shoes for a long time, you get home or wherever

522
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:00.920
you are, you just take the shoes off and you

523
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:06.679
sit down in a comfortable chair. It's a feeling. It's

524
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:12.760
a real lovely feeling, and your feet feel so relaxed.

525
00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:17.079
In the same way as maybe you've got trousers on

526
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:19.960
and they're a little bit tight, and you take the

527
00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:23.360
trousers off, or you undo your belt under the top

528
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:27.800
button of the trousers. I've done this sometimes after I've

529
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:31.920
been eating, just undo the trousers a little bit, just

530
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:37.320
the top two or three buttons under the zip. Definitely

531
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:39.800
get rid of the belt, but just you know, just

532
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:44.000
pull me underpants, you know, pull them out a little bit,

533
00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:47.320
just a little bit of air get into the belly region.

534
00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:54.480
It can make such a difference for comfort you get

535
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:58.719
your band from restaurants, But other than that, it's pretty good.

536
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:02.559
But it's a nice feeling just you know, like getting

537
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:06.840
home from work and taking your tie off. If you

538
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:11.039
wear a tie, I'm doing the top button off your

539
00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:16.559
share or getting home taking your bra off. I know

540
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:19.760
I don't wear a bra anymore anymore, I don't wear

541
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:22.800
a bra, but I know a lot of people have

542
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:25.599
told me that it's one of the favorite part of

543
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:28.079
of the day, getting home and just taking that thing off.

544
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:37.920
So there's certain parts of all of our days where

545
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:42.440
we can experience you can experience a sense of comfort,

546
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:49.880
a sense of relief, a sense of a you know,

547
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:58.360
sense of just hmm. That's nice, even if it's only

548
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:06.440
for a short period of time. And that goes back

549
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:13.920
to the fact that our feelings our the way it

550
00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:28.880
feels always changing always. It's not a fixed experience, and

551
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:38.000
maybe sometimes it feels that every time you focus on

552
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:44.079
that nice feeling of comfort, relaxation, letting go. The more

553
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:48.599
you focus on those feelings, the more you're going to

554
00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:54.320
notice those feelings of comfort, and the more you're going

555
00:48:54.360 --> 00:49:02.119
to expect to experience more comfort and relaxation and sense

556
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:07.719
of peace of mind. And as you know, the more

557
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:10.119
you expect something to happen, the more likely it is

558
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:13.239
going to happen. Because we get what we focus on,

559
00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:19.119
We get more of what we focus on, which then

560
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:28.679
makes you wonder, Okay, what am I focusing on? Or

561
00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:33.679
what do you want more of? So instead of focusing

562
00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:39.119
on what you don't want, focus on what you do want.

563
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:43.760
It's quite I find it quite interesting. I don't know

564
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:48.719
about you, but it's it's an interesting old thing.

565
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:56.719
It's very it's.

566
00:49:56.639 --> 00:50:01.559
Quite a powerful concept, you know, being able to be

567
00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:06.199
aout to alter how you feel in your mind just

568
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:09.880
imagining it. To imagine that, you know, you focus on

569
00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:14.360
the part of your body. Imagine that that warm, a

570
00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:20.360
warm heading, light begins to surround that area slowly, and

571
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:23.800
as that light blends in, the sharpness starts to soften,

572
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:31.119
the heat fhades, the sensation becomes cooler, calmer, more like

573
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:35.880
a gentle breeze or a soft vibration. So you can

574
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:40.360
almost like introduce a feeling and then change that feeling

575
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:51.239
and test out the different feelings. And it's all imagination.

576
00:50:55.639 --> 00:51:04.760
But as you imagine your hands became heavier, you imagine

577
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:16.760
your hands becoming more relaxed. That's what happens to them,

578
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:22.840
especially when you've got a calm mind. You're relaxed and

579
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:28.440
you're not fighting against yourself. You're traveling in all in

580
00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:32.960
the right direction, the same direction, your mind, your brain,

581
00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:39.800
your emotions, your unconscious mind, everything's traveling in the same direction,

582
00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:48.239
wanting the same thing, which is comfort, peace. The sound

583
00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:52.159
of any tune on a bone in the background, something

584
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:56.119
we all want, don't alway, he has to do it.

585
00:51:56.199 --> 00:52:03.079
During a recording, you can change sharpness to smoothness, heat

586
00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:09.880
to coolness, pressure to floating, burning feelings to cool waves

587
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:17.079
or tingling sparks. You can imagine things like a cool

588
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:22.320
mountain stream flowing through the area that we've been focusing on,

589
00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:28.239
So that cool mountain stream flowing gently through that area,

590
00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:38.559
soothing each nerve, It touches and continues to flow, cleaning, cleansing, healing,

591
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:46.000
and you can visualize it. You can if you want to.

592
00:52:46.119 --> 00:52:49.239
You can see it in your mind flowing through that

593
00:52:49.320 --> 00:53:05.000
part of your body, or you could imagine someone's wrapped

594
00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:09.360
that part of your body in a soft blue cloud

595
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:27.119
of comfort, cool, calming and protective. You can imagine spreading

596
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:31.360
honey over that part of your body and just imagine

597
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:36.719
that honey soaking in deeply into that part of your body,

598
00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:50.679
slowly changing everything it touches, healing, relaxing. So how do

599
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:53.599
you feel now, How does that part of your body

600
00:53:53.599 --> 00:54:01.639
feel now? What's changed? And a good thing about it?

601
00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:05.280
Can you make more noise? Please, Penny. The good thing

602
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:07.519
about it is the more often you play around by

603
00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:11.559
this stuff, the easier it becomes. And then it starts

604
00:54:11.599 --> 00:54:19.320
to become automatic, because your brain starts to know that

605
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:27.920
when you have certain feelings, it's time to change them.

606
00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:37.760
Time to change those feelings, transforming that quality, that physical

607
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:45.440
quality into something neutral or even pleasant, reducing the emotional

608
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:56.039
and physical intensity, leaving your feeling calm, loose, and peaceful.

609
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:11.719
And that brings me to the end of this recording.

610
00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:16.440
I hope it's been mildly useful and I wish you well.

611
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:20.880
Thank you for listening. Sorry, if there's been a bit

612
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:23.760
of background sound with this, I can't do a lot

613
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:30.199
about that. As for Vinnie, well, he's the boss, So

614
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:33.000
thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself

615
00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:36.960
because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle

616
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:53.199
with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots of love bye,

617
00:55:53.800 --> 00:56:08.400
relax in a more deep and meaningful way, Maybe in

618
00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:14.000
a way that can not just allow you to feel

619
00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:24.599
calmer now and throughout the time we spend together here,

620
00:56:26.599 --> 00:56:32.320
not just relaxed at the end of the recording when

621
00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:39.000
it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort

622
00:56:39.159 --> 00:56:54.079
and peace, but also I think it would be nice

623
00:56:54.199 --> 00:57:14.000
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after

624
00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:24.639
the recording has ended, so that you can still benefit

625
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:34.800
from listening to my voice, maybe in a few hours time,

626
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:50.199
perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially if you

627
00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:55.039
find like some people do and myself as well. I

628
00:57:55.159 --> 00:58:01.920
sometimes I find one particular recording that really resonates with me,

629
00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:08.760
and I just listened to it over and over again

630
00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:23.960
every morning, every evening. There was this recording from We're

631
00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:29.719
going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis,

632
00:58:29.760 --> 00:58:35.079
but it was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,

633
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:42.760
and I managed to find it again and it still

634
00:58:42.840 --> 00:58:48.440
has the same effect on me. And part of it

635
00:58:48.599 --> 00:59:03.320
was the person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful,

636
00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:11.920
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

637
00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:22.719
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even

638
00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:31.960
pressing the play button that since I've done that, pressed

639
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:41.159
the play button. This was in the days of CD players,

640
00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:49.639
pressed the play button, if that it might have even

641
00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:53.880
been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on the

642
00:59:53.920 --> 01:00:07.360
bed and then even without necessarily listening to her words

643
01:00:10.679 --> 01:00:20.000
because I had to memorized. Really, it was as if

644
01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:31.280
my body knew exactly what to do, and the muscles

645
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:52.920
just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my

646
01:00:53.079 --> 01:01:07.000
mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening to

647
01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:16.320
this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis, and

648
01:01:16.559 --> 01:01:25.480
long before I ever made any videos or audio recordings myself,

649
01:01:26.679 --> 01:01:30.039
because I didn't start doing that till two thousand and six.

650
01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:52.599
But I knew, I knew how helpful I found being

651
01:01:52.639 --> 01:02:01.840
able to just let go, to have that trust in

652
01:02:01.920 --> 01:02:12.320
the person that I'm listening to, knowing that it's going

653
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:22.920
to be just as relaxing, if not more so. Each

654
01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:29.639
time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

655
01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:50.719
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,

656
01:02:51.440 --> 01:02:55.480
maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

657
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:03.760
but maybe people come back. Some people may be listen

658
01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:20.400
every day. That's something that I do which you may

659
01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:41.480
not realize by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now.

660
01:03:41.599 --> 01:03:54.119
For example, I also am affected by the words that

661
01:03:54.239 --> 01:04:05.800
I say. So if I said to you, focus on

662
01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:15.679
your feet, notice your feet relaxing, I will be focusing

663
01:04:15.760 --> 01:04:36.760
on my feet. I will be noticing my feet relaxing.

664
01:04:38.199 --> 01:04:44.400
If I said, focus on your hands, and maybe notice

665
01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:56.039
the difference between each hand, perhaps notice the the air

666
01:04:56.440 --> 01:05:01.159
in the room, the temperature of the room. On the

667
01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:13.000
backs of your hands, you may start to notice what

668
01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:20.440
almost feels like a very light breeze, even though there

669
01:05:21.239 --> 01:05:26.360
may not be any type of breeze at all where

670
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:40.000
you are right now. And as you become aware of

671
01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:53.360
your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed my hands

672
01:05:57.360 --> 01:06:19.719
are feeling now. And when it comes to potentially drifting

673
01:06:19.800 --> 01:06:24.880
off to sleep, which may be the reason you're listening,

674
01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:45.239
I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings. I

675
01:06:45.360 --> 01:07:03.800
also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times I've

676
01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:18.239
actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I carry

677
01:07:18.320 --> 01:07:29.559
on talking. And it's only when I listen back to

678
01:07:29.880 --> 01:07:38.920
do the editing. I hear snoring, and I think, I

679
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:49.639
don't remember snoring. I remember talking. This snoring was a

680
01:07:49.800 --> 01:07:56.519
pig turned up. That's why I sound like when I snare.

681
01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:15.159
Now I get really into the whole experience. I don't

682
01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:25.000
know how you feel, how relaxed you feel in your feet,

683
01:08:28.119 --> 01:08:51.039
how relaxed you feel in your hands. I have noticed

684
01:08:53.640 --> 01:09:09.880
more and more that the more relaxed, deeper level of

685
01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:27.439
comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost

686
01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:48.039
like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows you the

687
01:09:48.199 --> 01:10:14.119
breath easier without necessarily, yeah, focusing on your breath, however,

688
01:10:14.359 --> 01:10:43.079
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

689
01:10:43.319 --> 01:11:33.199
so naturally. You breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever

690
01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:51.640
I imagine my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed,

691
01:11:57.640 --> 01:12:10.520
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

692
01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:51.199
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice too,

693
01:12:52.800 --> 01:13:11.760
if nothing else, just taking some time and away from everything,

694
01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:55.600
enjoying that feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart.

695
01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:46.439
Time seems to just drip by so very slowly, relaxed,

696
01:14:52.319 --> 01:15:31.479
so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

697
01:15:31.640 --> 01:16:43.359
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.

698
01:16:44.319 --> 01:17:31.039
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

699
01:17:31.279 --> 01:17:47.399
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip

700
01:17:48.159 --> 01:18:01.560
out of your body, to appear out of every part

701
01:18:07.920 --> 01:18:32.680
of your body, being released from your brain, n your

702
01:18:32.800 --> 01:19:24.000
mind slowly but surely, the muscles sing, your legs relax

703
01:19:28.960 --> 01:20:19.159
res so very deeply, res so deeply, and the feelings,

704
01:20:21.760 --> 01:20:46.680
the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders, deepening each

705
01:20:47.039 --> 01:21:25.039
part of your body further and deeper and deeper. Noticing

706
01:21:28.359 --> 01:21:54.920
the feelings in the back of your neck, the feelings

707
01:21:55.079 --> 01:22:43.960
in your wrists, muscles, in front of your body. I

708
01:22:44.119 --> 01:23:33.199
all say, feeling deeply, there's a sense of peace spreads

709
01:23:33.600 --> 01:24:13.199
through your fairy core. Even when you focus on your mind.

710
01:24:25.079 --> 01:25:35.560
Your mind becomes eve and slower, even deeper, relaxing, so

711
01:25:36.199 --> 01:26:36.199
very slow, his stomach peace full in your stomach, You're back.

712
01:26:41.600 --> 01:27:10.439
Notice Notice how relaxed you'd know feel in the hole

713
01:27:10.800 --> 01:27:43.640
of your back. Your spy from your brain all the

714
01:27:43.720 --> 01:27:52.439
way down the middle of your back, sending and receiving

715
01:27:54.800 --> 01:29:23.800
millions of messages every day decomfort increasing deeply relaxed unslegs,

716
01:29:27.720 --> 01:29:37.000
spreading those signals down a spine or cord into air,

717
01:29:37.239 --> 01:29:56.680
every part of your body, your shins and your calf muscles,

718
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:57.560
with elbows, Feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your body,

719
01:30:58.399 --> 01:31:10.119
tips of your toes, y to your eyes, your fingers,

720
01:31:14.439 --> 01:32:16.920
all the way till you lower back. Lettinker readia, thinker drifting,

721
01:32:24.359 --> 01:32:52.840
mind just wandering away, happy to let go, let go completely,

722
01:32:55.279 --> 01:33:53.239
let go, so tranquil, the whole body enjoying a sense

723
01:33:53.239 --> 01:36:18.239
of listener heph more peace, enjoying the space, this space

724
01:36:21.279 --> 01:36:22.439
of peace.

And safety, so very.

726
01:36:57.840 --> 01:38:00.840
Relaxed, us.

727
01:38:28.560 --> 01:38:53.319
Letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the different

728
01:38:53.640 --> 01:39:28.439
parts of your body, just to notice you forehead and

729
01:39:28.680 --> 01:40:35.159
your eyes muture so loose, noticing the sense of complete freedom,

730
01:40:47.199 --> 01:42:42.359
absolute freedom, es y, peace for energy, peace to breathe,

731
01:42:43.439 --> 01:43:54.039
so much easier loose. You may have or may not

732
01:43:54.239 --> 01:45:01.479
have noticed. Mind drifting peaceful, may even more deeply in

733
01:45:01.600 --> 01:45:49.319
the direction of total blissful pace, bliss for pace, rafting

734
01:46:37.079 --> 01:47:47.880
out to pace, come so calm lett him go peace

735
01:47:48.680 --> 01:48:04.920
with mind, body.

736
01:48:21.880 --> 01:49:01.439
So relaxed, c relaxed, your body feel was almost.

737
01:49:02.479 --> 01:50:19.600
Invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so pace relax HM likes,

738
01:50:39.000 --> 01:50:45.279
and you could start to notice that you are feeling

739
01:50:45.640 --> 01:50:56.880
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind

740
01:50:57.840 --> 01:51:05.399
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

741
01:51:05.520 --> 01:51:17.359
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,

742
01:51:19.600 --> 01:51:26.800
and that could be almost in recognition of I guess

743
01:51:27.159 --> 01:51:39.720
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally

744
01:51:41.359 --> 01:51:52.399
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

745
01:51:52.439 --> 01:51:59.359
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

746
01:52:01.479 --> 01:52:09.039
take a break from your life as it is, and

747
01:52:09.119 --> 01:52:16.880
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

748
01:52:16.960 --> 01:52:22.560
some time off and to allow your body to relax

749
01:52:24.239 --> 01:52:32.439
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

750
01:52:34.760 --> 01:52:39.840
releases the tension and he stresses that you had in

751
01:52:39.880 --> 01:52:49.720
your body. It's almost as if the parts of your

752
01:52:49.760 --> 01:53:01.800
body just open up, allowing the negativity out and at

753
01:53:01.800 --> 01:53:10.079
the same time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy,

754
01:53:13.159 --> 01:53:17.800
which then fills your body up and your mind to

755
01:53:19.399 --> 01:53:37.880
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an

756
01:53:37.880 --> 01:53:55.000
almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through

757
01:53:55.039 --> 01:54:06.479
your body like a wave. Comfort, And all this comes

758
01:54:06.600 --> 01:54:18.640
and just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour,

759
01:54:19.079 --> 01:54:23.840
however long you want it to be, to just rest

760
01:54:29.199 --> 01:54:38.079
and allow your mind and your body to almost reset

761
01:54:38.760 --> 01:54:57.439
itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which

762
01:54:57.479 --> 01:55:10.600
allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to

763
01:55:10.920 --> 01:55:20.359
move around your body and into your mind, almost as

764
01:55:20.359 --> 01:55:29.520
if your mind and your body are sinking together, almost

765
01:55:29.840 --> 01:55:43.880
mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness. And

766
01:55:43.960 --> 01:55:51.279
it feels nice. It really does feel nice to know

767
01:55:51.520 --> 01:56:00.439
that you are the one that has allowed yourself to

768
01:56:00.680 --> 01:56:14.680
feel more comfort and to experience more of this deep

769
01:56:15.119 --> 01:56:31.159
relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus on

770
01:56:31.439 --> 01:56:37.159
each part of your body, you can notice that that

771
01:56:37.479 --> 01:56:54.159
part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

772
01:56:54.159 --> 01:57:03.840
It becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.

773
01:57:07.840 --> 01:57:13.960
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

774
01:57:16.319 --> 01:57:23.039
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

775
01:57:23.199 --> 01:57:30.840
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

776
01:57:30.880 --> 01:57:44.279
on or just automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation

777
01:57:44.640 --> 01:57:57.680
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going

778
01:57:57.720 --> 01:58:04.680
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware

779
01:58:05.000 --> 01:58:13.600
of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds

780
01:58:15.319 --> 01:58:20.239
like mister Herbert the Pigeon can just allow you to

781
01:58:20.399 --> 01:58:27.600
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

782
01:58:30.760 --> 01:58:37.840
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

783
01:58:39.560 --> 01:58:45.640
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

784
01:58:46.119 --> 01:58:56.640
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

785
01:58:56.880 --> 01:59:05.239
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

786
01:59:06.960 --> 01:59:15.680
only on my voice and that part of your body.

787
01:59:16.640 --> 01:59:26.359
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

788
01:59:27.399 --> 01:59:37.119
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

789
01:59:37.159 --> 01:59:43.600
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

790
01:59:43.840 --> 01:59:58.319
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

791
01:59:58.760 --> 02:00:05.399
your tongue, your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of

792
02:00:05.520 --> 02:00:20.560
your mouth relaxing, calm and lease. As you focus now

793
02:00:21.119 --> 02:00:28.000
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw

794
02:00:28.159 --> 02:00:32.600
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way

795
02:00:32.680 --> 02:00:36.199
up the size of your face to.

796
02:00:36.199 --> 02:00:50.800
Your ears, the hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed.

797
02:00:54.159 --> 02:01:00.399
And calm.

798
02:01:03.039 --> 02:01:12.199
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and

799
02:01:12.239 --> 02:01:25.279
your throat relaxing and loose and calm, the side of

800
02:01:25.359 --> 02:01:30.680
your neck, the right and left side of your neck

801
02:01:33.600 --> 02:01:37.119
relax and loose.

802
02:01:40.800 --> 02:01:54.039
And calm, And now the back of your neck. Focusing

803
02:01:54.319 --> 02:02:03.800
on the back of your neck, letting go of any

804
02:02:04.000 --> 02:02:10.880
tension that may have been there before, and enjoying that

805
02:02:13.560 --> 02:02:24.720
sense of increasing comfort and release that you can experience

806
02:02:25.800 --> 02:02:35.439
in the back of your neck. Moving down your back

807
02:02:37.840 --> 02:02:43.119
and moving either side of your spine right from the top.

808
02:02:42.960 --> 02:02:44.039
Of your back.

809
02:02:45.560 --> 02:02:49.239
All the way down to the bottom of your back

810
02:02:55.239 --> 02:03:06.560
down to your lower back. And as you move up

811
02:03:06.600 --> 02:03:15.439
and down your spine, you can feel the muscles either

812
02:03:15.560 --> 02:03:29.119
side of your spine relaxing even more. And as those

813
02:03:29.239 --> 02:03:38.720
muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards

814
02:03:40.239 --> 02:03:49.840
from your spine into both sides of your back, the

815
02:03:49.960 --> 02:03:53.479
top of your back, the middle and your lower back.

816
02:03:57.000 --> 02:04:03.800
And as you scan gen glee and slowly up and

817
02:04:03.840 --> 02:04:09.119
down your back, there's the muscles in the top of

818
02:04:09.239 --> 02:04:19.079
your back relax and become looser. The muscles in the

819
02:04:19.119 --> 02:04:26.279
middle of your back also seem to just almost divide

820
02:04:26.600 --> 02:04:39.840
from each other, separating and almost melting, and in your

821
02:04:39.920 --> 02:04:47.039
lower back there seems to be an extra special feeling

822
02:04:51.039 --> 02:05:02.560
of comfort. The spreads into your hips, sit down your

823
02:05:02.640 --> 02:05:10.680
lower back, into your hips, into the area where your

824
02:05:10.720 --> 02:05:19.720
coxsis are, and into your buttocks, and all those muscles

825
02:05:19.840 --> 02:05:28.840
that spread from your lower back into your hip area

826
02:05:31.920 --> 02:05:48.319
start to melt, start to really let go. I don't

827
02:05:48.359 --> 02:05:54.880
even know where about. To focus on your shoulders. Your

828
02:05:55.079 --> 02:06:06.520
back and your spine will continue to let go, continue

829
02:06:06.560 --> 02:06:22.039
to relax so calmly. And as you focus on your shoulders,

830
02:06:23.199 --> 02:06:38.560
you may notice that they're already feeling really loose, they're

831
02:06:38.600 --> 02:07:04.640
already feeding calm. The feeling of those muscles the move

832
02:07:05.079 --> 02:07:20.920
from your neck into your shoulders feel so soft and gentle,

833
02:07:25.000 --> 02:07:53.920
so smooth and calm, and the feeding in your shoulders

834
02:07:53.920 --> 02:08:01.399
seens to spread deep into your shoulders, that sense of

835
02:08:01.560 --> 02:08:14.039
relaxation not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also

836
02:08:14.399 --> 02:08:27.279
relaxing the bones and moving all the way to underneath

837
02:08:27.319 --> 02:08:35.760
your arms, relaxing that whole area between the tops of

838
02:08:35.880 --> 02:08:50.399
your shoulders and underneath your arms healing. You feel so

839
02:08:52.359 --> 02:09:06.439
relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sends that deep

840
02:09:07.239 --> 02:09:28.119
healing message into your arms, and you may feel almost

841
02:09:28.239 --> 02:09:33.000
as if your arms are not even there because they're

842
02:09:33.520 --> 02:10:16.520
so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm, so loose,

843
02:10:23.840 --> 02:10:35.520
not feeling, spreading all the way down your arms, two elbows,

844
02:10:38.800 --> 02:11:03.000
including your elbows circumforts, spreads all away m hm into

845
02:11:03.319 --> 02:11:21.520
rests of forearments and your rests being so heavy yet

846
02:11:21.720 --> 02:12:02.640
at the same time so light and gentle ford sip.

847
02:12:05.000 --> 02:12:06.119
Now on.

848
02:12:08.720 --> 02:13:02.359
Your hands, my hands, so peaceful in your hands, there's

849
02:13:02.399 --> 02:13:25.800
a sense of real peace. It just seems to feel

850
02:13:28.039 --> 02:14:04.399
so familiar when your hands relax deeply. Else the thing

851
02:14:04.720 --> 02:15:41.359
is a thing is sidles, your finger tips m moving

852
02:15:41.720 --> 02:16:00.000
your attention to the front of your body, so comfortable,

853
02:16:11.079 --> 02:17:37.840
move in your focus, you your legs, was muscles in

854
02:17:38.000 --> 02:18:31.879
your thighs, your knees so relaxed, you carved mussels and

855
02:18:32.159 --> 02:20:48.959
just shine compusia four and the fathing your feet so peaceful,

856
02:20:51.040 --> 02:21:49.840
so calm, so peaceful, sircom so peaceful, sycom so peace

857
02:21:50.280 --> 02:22:07.399
f h e s and peace for.

858
02:22:11.200 --> 02:22:20.120
So calm.

859
02:22:20.159 --> 02:22:27.319
Allowing that deep relaxation to spread your chest, in your

860
02:22:27.440 --> 02:22:58.520
stomach so real, letting go of everything. So I'm gonna

861
02:22:58.559 --> 02:23:10.479
start counting down there, from twenty down to one. You

862
02:23:10.479 --> 02:23:14.000
can imagine in a way it's like just walking down

863
02:23:14.120 --> 02:23:19.879
some steps and each step or twenty steps and Each

864
02:23:20.000 --> 02:23:32.680
step represents a level of comfort, Each step represents a

865
02:23:32.879 --> 02:23:45.399
deepening of that comfort, and the vervies you walk down

866
02:23:45.479 --> 02:23:57.719
those steps, the deeper and more relaxed you feel. So

867
02:23:58.360 --> 02:27:48.239
starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen sixteen three

868
02:28:31.000 --> 02:37:23.159
four four se too well five eight nine eight seven

869
02:36:01.280 --> 02:39:07.399
s five four.

870
02:40:09.079 --> 02:44:35.040
Four one.

871
02:44:37.479 --> 02:44:54.600
Now, as you focus on your eyes, we're gonna count

872
02:44:54.680 --> 02:45:06.520
down from ten douts one. Focus in just on your eyes,

873
02:45:10.239 --> 02:45:18.760
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye wolves themselves,

874
02:45:20.239 --> 02:45:37.319
our whole area that makes up your eye. And as

875
02:45:37.360 --> 02:45:45.799
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focus

876
02:45:45.879 --> 02:46:00.879
in on your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed with

877
02:46:01.239 --> 02:46:14.360
each number counting down, and you may find the all

878
02:46:14.399 --> 02:46:20.520
you want to do is just drift off to sleep.

879
02:46:23.479 --> 02:46:30.159
And if that's what you want, then just allow yourself

880
02:46:30.239 --> 02:46:44.920
to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going

881
02:46:45.000 --> 02:46:55.120
to begin counting down from ten down to one right now,

882
02:47:03.360 --> 02:50:07.520
two nine eight seven.

883
02:49:58.000 --> 02:52:04.200
Y five.

884
02:52:13.479 --> 02:56:17.760
Four three two one. So counting down from ten to

885
02:56:17.879 --> 02:56:42.319
one ten nine eight seven six five four three two.

886
02:56:44.200 --> 02:56:50.840
One.

887
02:56:51.440 --> 02:56:54.360
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

888
02:56:54.399 --> 02:56:58.360
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

889
02:56:58.639 --> 02:57:08.399
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

890
02:57:08.399 --> 02:57:12.000
little bit of pressure there, Like you're count it down

891
02:57:12.040 --> 02:57:15.120
from ten to one. Would you expect me to do man,

892
02:57:15.920 --> 02:57:20.520
expect me to stick gold floppy just because you're counting down.

893
02:57:26.079 --> 02:57:29.360
We could try it again, but this time I go

894
02:57:29.559 --> 02:57:36.920
this lower. This time, as you focus on the whole

895
02:57:37.000 --> 02:57:43.280
of your body before we focus on your legs. Just

896
02:57:43.479 --> 02:57:53.520
notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed

897
02:57:58.239 --> 02:58:52.520
with every number that I countdown ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

898
02:59:00.040 --> 02:59:51.440
three two one, And just notice how how you feel, generally,

899
02:59:51.840 --> 03:00:06.159
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

900
03:00:06.239 --> 03:00:13.520
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

901
03:00:14.719 --> 03:00:33.200
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

902
03:00:37.920 --> 03:00:43.120
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

903
03:00:43.280 --> 03:00:49.920
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So

904
03:00:50.600 --> 03:00:53.639
that opens up a space, you know, a bit of

905
03:00:53.680 --> 03:01:04.680
a space, a gap. And the more I camped down

906
03:01:04.719 --> 03:01:12.120
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

907
03:01:12.239 --> 03:01:24.639
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

908
03:01:24.760 --> 03:01:38.840
nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically

909
03:01:38.959 --> 03:01:51.600
or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you.

910
03:01:53.799 --> 03:01:54.399
To just.

911
03:01:57.319 --> 03:02:04.079
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

912
03:02:04.479 --> 03:02:14.719
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

913
03:02:14.760 --> 03:02:20.840
it's almost like the thestress and attention falls into the

914
03:02:20.879 --> 03:03:30.719
gap and gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five,

915
03:03:41.799 --> 03:04:51.879
four three two one. And how does your body feel.

916
03:04:53.760 --> 03:05:05.079
Now?

917
03:05:06.680 --> 03:05:21.959
Can you notice do you feeling calmer, the feeling more

918
03:05:22.399 --> 03:05:49.879
relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

919
03:06:05.760 --> 03:06:25.959
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

920
03:06:26.000 --> 03:06:30.920
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because

921
03:06:34.360 --> 03:06:37.079
I'm sure like most of your body is not a

922
03:06:37.120 --> 03:06:49.600
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

923
03:06:49.680 --> 03:06:56.079
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

924
03:06:56.200 --> 03:07:03.280
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

925
03:07:03.319 --> 03:07:08.200
and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh

926
03:07:08.319 --> 03:07:17.120
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

927
03:07:17.319 --> 03:07:31.360
your knee joint. Now, this is a big area. It's

928
03:07:31.399 --> 03:07:36.920
a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the strongest

929
03:07:37.879 --> 03:07:51.120
muscles in your body or in your thighs. But I

930
03:07:51.120 --> 03:07:59.559
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

931
03:08:05.360 --> 03:08:16.159
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

932
03:08:16.280 --> 03:08:37.000
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

933
03:08:37.000 --> 03:08:37.879
through our lives.

934
03:08:45.000 --> 03:08:46.159
And it may.

935
03:08:46.079 --> 03:08:51.399
Seem to sound really weird, but I think that all

936
03:08:51.479 --> 03:08:59.159
of our body parts, especially our thighs, need some TLC,

937
03:09:02.399 --> 03:09:15.079
a bit of love shone, a bit of acknowledgement. I

938
03:09:15.239 --> 03:09:26.479
thank you gratitude for what our thighs do for us.

939
03:09:30.840 --> 03:09:36.479
And I know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe

940
03:09:36.479 --> 03:09:39.239
you think, why am I sure that how I should

941
03:09:39.280 --> 03:09:44.159
be out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,

942
03:09:48.280 --> 03:09:50.600
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.

943
03:09:51.600 --> 03:09:53.879
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

944
03:09:53.879 --> 03:09:57.639
outside hugging a tree. Now I can't see the television

945
03:09:57.680 --> 03:10:06.399
from the tree. If you move down to your knees

946
03:10:08.159 --> 03:10:16.159
gain such an important part. And I think we don't

947
03:10:16.200 --> 03:10:24.120
necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate

948
03:10:25.840 --> 03:10:30.959
all that my knees do for me until I have

949
03:10:31.040 --> 03:10:34.440
a problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever

950
03:10:36.000 --> 03:10:40.000
maybe i'll pash it or it's aching for some reason.

951
03:10:41.680 --> 03:10:47.959
It's then that I realize how much it does. You know,

952
03:10:48.000 --> 03:10:54.000
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

953
03:10:55.719 --> 03:11:01.200
any kind of physical discomfort. Is that a beautiful thing

954
03:11:02.719 --> 03:11:10.399
that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know

955
03:11:10.479 --> 03:11:19.959
that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees, regardless

956
03:11:20.000 --> 03:11:25.559
of how your knees feel, you can have that sense

957
03:11:25.639 --> 03:11:31.639
of gratitude and love to your knees for all that

958
03:11:31.680 --> 03:11:44.000
they do for you, And you can still have that

959
03:11:44.079 --> 03:11:49.079
attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel.

960
03:11:51.200 --> 03:12:09.120
Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as

961
03:12:09.200 --> 03:12:14.719
you focus now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins,

962
03:12:15.479 --> 03:12:22.040
and your calf muscles, the bones between your knees and

963
03:12:22.079 --> 03:12:35.639
your feet, incorporating of course, your ankles so important. Anyone

964
03:12:35.719 --> 03:12:40.520
that's had even like the slightest sprain of an ankle

965
03:12:41.680 --> 03:12:48.280
knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

966
03:12:54.159 --> 03:12:56.200
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

967
03:12:56.239 --> 03:13:01.879
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

968
03:13:02.000 --> 03:13:06.879
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

969
03:13:06.920 --> 03:13:10.840
it doesn't can't see any problem with that because we're

970
03:13:10.920 --> 03:13:17.440
just picking stuff up. But our ankles so much thinner

971
03:13:18.600 --> 03:13:27.200
than the rest of our legs, and from a physics

972
03:13:27.239 --> 03:13:33.000
perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense that

973
03:13:33.120 --> 03:13:40.920
all this weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles

974
03:13:41.959 --> 03:13:55.399
then leading to your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

975
03:13:55.440 --> 03:14:01.200
it does so much great work support to supports our

976
03:14:01.239 --> 03:14:13.040
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, it helps

977
03:14:13.079 --> 03:14:25.639
you to get her around and be mobile. And there's

978
03:14:25.680 --> 03:14:33.600
the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I

979
03:14:33.639 --> 03:14:36.879
couldn't see the point in calf muscles. It didn't seem

980
03:14:36.879 --> 03:14:42.040
to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,

981
03:14:42.760 --> 03:14:46.639
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course

982
03:14:46.680 --> 03:14:50.840
that's not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever

983
03:14:50.879 --> 03:15:02.799
we use our legs and your shins there to protect

984
03:15:04.799 --> 03:15:13.479
your lower legs, shaped in a way almost as a

985
03:15:13.520 --> 03:15:25.840
protector for the bone, leading of course to your ankles

986
03:15:29.159 --> 03:15:35.799
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on

987
03:15:35.840 --> 03:15:38.040
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.

988
03:15:39.879 --> 03:15:44.559
And I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet

989
03:15:44.600 --> 03:15:49.280
it probably focusing on them anyway, that maybe I should

990
03:15:49.319 --> 03:15:55.319
focus on your feet a little bit. You can have

991
03:15:55.479 --> 03:16:00.719
them in your awareness the same as you have your

992
03:16:00.799 --> 03:16:05.079
thighs in your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing

993
03:16:05.719 --> 03:16:10.520
on your thighs for a few minutes, we've been focusing

994
03:16:10.639 --> 03:16:27.319
on your ankles, there's still that sensation of comfort in

995
03:16:27.360 --> 03:16:39.239
your thighs in this that movement of energy, because the

996
03:16:39.319 --> 03:16:46.959
thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles,

997
03:16:47.520 --> 03:16:51.680
the big strong muscles that we have in our thighs.

998
03:17:00.319 --> 03:17:06.079
But the skin on the outside of the thighs, as

999
03:17:06.120 --> 03:17:10.719
in the outside of all of our body, can be

1000
03:17:10.879 --> 03:17:28.600
very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature, and

1001
03:17:28.760 --> 03:17:37.159
inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,

1002
03:17:37.280 --> 03:17:43.520
the arch trees, to all this stuff that's inside your thighs.

1003
03:17:47.399 --> 03:17:50.559
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could

1004
03:17:50.600 --> 03:17:58.399
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and message, so

1005
03:17:58.479 --> 03:18:02.040
you can message on the outside, of course, but to

1006
03:18:02.079 --> 03:18:05.239
be able to get deep into the muscles, and to

1007
03:18:05.280 --> 03:18:10.399
be able to just massage inside your thighs, message in

1008
03:18:10.440 --> 03:18:19.200
the bones of your leg, massage in all the veins,

1009
03:18:19.280 --> 03:18:29.520
and just gently healing your thighs, and you could move

1010
03:18:29.680 --> 03:18:37.159
down message and inside your knees, just message in those bones.

1011
03:18:38.079 --> 03:18:45.159
But with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into

1012
03:18:45.200 --> 03:18:54.680
the joints of your knees. Of course, there's the back

1013
03:18:54.879 --> 03:18:59.760
of your your knee, you know, the inside crease where

1014
03:18:59.799 --> 03:19:07.280
you're knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Very it

1015
03:19:07.319 --> 03:19:11.360
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be

1016
03:19:11.360 --> 03:19:15.360
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

1017
03:19:17.360 --> 03:19:24.280
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1018
03:19:24.319 --> 03:19:31.680
It's almost like a part that has a sensitivity which

1019
03:19:31.719 --> 03:19:42.200
is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected by

1020
03:19:42.239 --> 03:19:53.680
your legs, so you can imagine putting your fingers into

1021
03:19:53.760 --> 03:20:03.520
that crease in your legs. Fold in between your legs.

1022
03:20:04.120 --> 03:20:08.799
You can just message with your fingertips, letting your fingertips

1023
03:20:08.840 --> 03:20:19.799
going inside, massage in the muscle tissue you can cause

1024
03:20:19.920 --> 03:20:28.399
field the bones of your knees, healing through your fingertips,

1025
03:20:33.959 --> 03:20:39.319
and then as you go down to your calf muscles.

1026
03:20:39.680 --> 03:20:41.479
Now that's the part I'd like to be able to

1027
03:20:42.200 --> 03:20:49.600
really put my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, massage

1028
03:20:49.680 --> 03:20:58.760
in every single tissue of that muscle, healing every part,

1029
03:21:04.680 --> 03:21:10.840
and then doing the same for my shins, massage in

1030
03:21:10.959 --> 03:21:18.559
and gently stroking the bones gently stroking them, healing in

1031
03:21:18.600 --> 03:21:25.799
a loving way, because they deserve to be treated as

1032
03:21:25.879 --> 03:21:29.920
the precious bones that they are, Because our legs are

1033
03:21:29.920 --> 03:21:34.399
so precious as in all the other parts of our body,

1034
03:21:36.239 --> 03:21:50.120
and more precious of any jure on the planet. When

1035
03:21:50.159 --> 03:22:02.440
you start to think about your legs in this way,

1036
03:22:02.520 --> 03:22:09.200
it can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

1037
03:22:12.319 --> 03:22:16.559
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

1038
03:22:17.440 --> 03:22:27.440
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1039
03:22:27.559 --> 03:22:31.600
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

1040
03:22:33.719 --> 03:22:40.159
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your

1041
03:22:40.159 --> 03:22:48.840
fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just to show

1042
03:22:50.559 --> 03:22:57.959
how much you care about your legs, how much you

1043
03:22:58.079 --> 03:23:06.680
care for what your legs do for you regularly, your knees,

1044
03:23:06.879 --> 03:23:19.760
your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering

1045
03:23:19.920 --> 03:23:24.479
how thin they are compared to the rest of your legs,

1046
03:23:24.600 --> 03:23:38.319
especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely

1047
03:23:38.520 --> 03:23:50.360
amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because of

1048
03:23:50.399 --> 03:24:01.719
what they do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless

1049
03:24:01.760 --> 03:24:05.799
of how what weight you are, even if you only

1050
03:24:06.159 --> 03:24:10.959
ate stone, there's still a lot of weight for these

1051
03:24:11.360 --> 03:24:19.040
little ankles. Now I'm a lot heavier than each stone

1052
03:24:19.440 --> 03:24:28.680
double down, yet my ankles support my body all the time,

1053
03:24:32.319 --> 03:24:35.360
although they do give off a sigh of relief when

1054
03:24:35.360 --> 03:24:40.479
I sit down, as in fact, my whole legs do.

1055
03:24:44.120 --> 03:24:49.600
My feet feet also go, my toes clap.

1056
03:24:50.760 --> 03:25:09.879
I'm so happy.

1057
03:25:11.280 --> 03:25:20.479
Your legs really are amazing. And I know that talking

1058
03:25:20.559 --> 03:25:27.000
about talking about your legs is probably possibly among the

1059
03:25:27.040 --> 03:25:32.639
most most boring things I've ever heard anyone say. Possibly,

1060
03:25:35.520 --> 03:25:42.239
but boring or not, everything I said is true. Your

1061
03:25:42.319 --> 03:26:02.920
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, they

1062
03:26:02.959 --> 03:26:15.600
deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time

1063
03:26:15.680 --> 03:26:39.319
out of the day to just let go completely. The

1064
03:26:39.520 --> 03:26:57.319
legs really can relax. And because the legs are so

1065
03:26:58.360 --> 03:27:03.200
such a most, you know, very important part of your body.

1066
03:27:04.440 --> 03:27:07.079
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body

1067
03:27:07.719 --> 03:27:26.319
also naturally follows in that a journey of comfort. I

1068
03:27:26.319 --> 03:27:31.559
can feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,

1069
03:27:34.799 --> 03:27:39.159
and also in my lower back as well. My lower

1070
03:27:39.200 --> 03:27:44.760
back really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just

1071
03:27:44.840 --> 03:27:51.120
sitting in a chair and there's no stretching. As far

1072
03:27:51.120 --> 03:27:54.280
as I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if

1073
03:27:54.280 --> 03:27:58.239
the muscles are just relaxed so much that there is

1074
03:27:58.360 --> 03:28:06.840
a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.

1075
03:28:23.200 --> 03:28:26.280
And I'm now going to count down from ten down

1076
03:28:26.319 --> 03:28:37.680
to one, and you can continue to feel wonderfully relaxed

1077
03:28:41.479 --> 03:29:24.600
ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four three two one relax.

1078
03:29:32.479 --> 03:29:36.319
So I'm just going to count down from five down

1079
03:29:36.360 --> 03:29:40.840
to one, and as a countdown, if you just focus

1080
03:29:40.879 --> 03:29:48.840
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1081
03:29:49.719 --> 03:29:57.760
how you feel in this moment as you hear the

1082
03:29:57.840 --> 03:30:05.959
numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent

1083
03:30:06.920 --> 03:30:16.000
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also

1084
03:30:18.239 --> 03:30:24.879
relaxing your mind. I just notice how you feel there's

1085
03:30:24.959 --> 03:30:30.760
nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to

1086
03:30:30.840 --> 03:31:22.360
think about, starting with number five, four three two one.

1087
03:31:23.120 --> 03:31:35.000
And as you notice the gradual letting go that the

1088
03:31:35.159 --> 03:31:42.799
tension in your body, you may also begin to notice

1089
03:31:42.879 --> 03:31:51.399
and be aware of how your mind is starting to

1090
03:31:51.440 --> 03:31:58.079
slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1091
03:32:00.639 --> 03:32:05.879
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1092
03:32:05.920 --> 03:32:11.879
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax

1093
03:32:13.440 --> 03:32:17.120
and the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1094
03:32:17.239 --> 03:32:27.840
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And is that

1095
03:32:29.000 --> 03:32:36.840
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

1096
03:32:36.879 --> 03:32:43.920
if there's background sounds either your side, online, it's still

1097
03:32:44.360 --> 03:32:49.680
going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got

1098
03:32:49.680 --> 03:32:54.840
the television on, there's no music in the background unless

1099
03:32:54.840 --> 03:33:02.319
you're listening to the recording. With music, of course, you're

1100
03:33:02.479 --> 03:33:04.600
very likely not going to be sitting in a room

1101
03:33:04.639 --> 03:33:09.280
with other people. Of course you might be, but generally

1102
03:33:09.399 --> 03:33:14.040
it's more ideal if you can do this on your own,

1103
03:33:14.200 --> 03:33:24.399
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1104
03:33:30.879 --> 03:33:41.159
relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts to grow,

1105
03:33:45.639 --> 03:33:52.399
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1106
03:33:52.719 --> 03:34:04.520
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1107
03:34:04.600 --> 03:34:14.879
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1108
03:34:14.920 --> 03:34:21.799
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1109
03:34:21.959 --> 03:34:25.879
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1110
03:34:25.920 --> 03:34:37.719
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

1111
03:34:37.959 --> 03:34:48.920
the process of this recording and others is simply two

1112
03:34:49.799 --> 03:35:00.760
allow you to take advantage of this space. This top time.

1113
03:35:03.159 --> 03:35:03.719
To just.

1114
03:35:07.760 --> 03:35:18.600
Let go, to just be here, to be in tune

1115
03:35:19.040 --> 03:35:31.159
with how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting

1116
03:35:31.399 --> 03:35:43.559
to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending

1117
03:35:43.760 --> 03:35:50.079
on what it is that you wish for yourself in

1118
03:35:50.120 --> 03:36:06.280
this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority of

1119
03:36:06.360 --> 03:36:11.159
the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part

1120
03:36:11.200 --> 03:36:19.479
is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed

1121
03:36:19.760 --> 03:36:41.920
you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. You can also,

1122
03:36:42.079 --> 03:36:52.200
if you choose stay focused on my voice and really

1123
03:36:52.639 --> 03:37:21.959
enjoy the process of gradually relaxing each muscle in your

1124
03:37:22.000 --> 03:37:56.559
body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.

1125
03:38:02.559 --> 03:38:10.200
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,

1126
03:38:11.440 --> 03:38:20.639
and you can notice your mind calming down more with

1127
03:38:21.040 --> 03:38:34.799
each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm

1128
03:38:35.200 --> 03:41:34.000
and slow and peaceful, six, five, four, three, two, one,

1129
03:41:34.479 --> 03:41:44.120
being aware of how your mind to slow right down,

1130
03:41:47.319 --> 03:42:10.760
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1131
03:42:11.040 --> 03:42:23.559
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,

1132
03:42:23.559 --> 03:42:33.120
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

1133
03:42:33.200 --> 03:42:48.399
your attention. So what you can do is send love

1134
03:42:48.639 --> 03:43:02.280
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love like all

1135
03:43:02.399 --> 03:43:08.079
petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals

1136
03:43:08.120 --> 03:43:15.360
filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts

1137
03:43:15.520 --> 03:43:22.399
know that you're not abandoned in them. You just need them.

1138
03:43:23.559 --> 03:43:34.680
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet

1139
03:43:35.000 --> 03:43:51.040
down for now. So as you focus on those remaining thoughts.

1140
03:43:52.200 --> 03:43:56.319
As we count down this time from seven down to one.

1141
03:43:57.840 --> 03:44:12.000
With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

1142
03:44:13.520 --> 03:44:25.399
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1143
03:44:26.799 --> 03:44:41.879
melt away and relax deeply. Of every number, those thoughts

1144
03:44:41.959 --> 03:45:50.680
will become more and more relaxed, starting with number seven, six, five, four,

1145
03:46:16.559 --> 03:47:38.040
three one. And as you now notice how relaxed you're

1146
03:47:38.040 --> 03:47:57.159
feeling in your body, we're going to focus on your

1147
03:47:57.360 --> 03:48:09.200
hands because the more relaxed your hands are, the more

1148
03:48:09.280 --> 03:48:12.639
relaxed your body and mind are.

1149
03:48:27.559 --> 03:48:28.000
And there.

1150
03:48:29.680 --> 03:48:39.879
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing

1151
03:48:40.360 --> 03:48:45.120
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or

1152
03:48:46.159 --> 03:48:56.479
tents in the fingers or anything like that. It's just

1153
03:48:56.959 --> 03:49:11.040
noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

1154
03:49:25.639 --> 03:49:36.280
Because the more relax your hands feel, the calmer your

1155
03:49:36.319 --> 03:49:48.239
mind feels, and the more comforts you feel throughout your body,

1156
03:49:53.440 --> 03:50:23.879
and you may have already noticed you mind is starting

1157
03:50:27.440 --> 03:50:50.000
to dress like sense just on your hands and fingers,

1158
03:50:54.879 --> 03:51:08.719
allowing them to experience are real deepening of that relaxation

1159
03:51:10.440 --> 03:51:13.159
in your hands and fingers.

1160
03:51:18.319 --> 03:51:19.520
More.

1161
03:51:21.840 --> 03:51:45.719
And more relaxed. With each number from eight down to one.

1162
03:51:46.360 --> 03:51:56.200
You can almost feel that healing and relaxing energy spreading

1163
03:51:57.399 --> 03:52:16.399
into your hands and as becoming year war relaxing with

1164
03:52:16.799 --> 03:52:18.440
each number.

1165
03:52:20.319 --> 03:52:21.120
You hear.

1166
03:52:24.879 --> 03:52:40.120
Going down from eight down to one, drifting, drifting again,

1167
03:52:45.079 --> 03:52:46.159
starting with.

1168
03:52:50.680 --> 03:54:31.719
Number eighth, seven, six.

1169
03:54:40.879 --> 03:56:52.559
Five, four, three, just being here now, nothing to think about,

1170
03:56:54.319 --> 03:57:05.760
nothing to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer.

1171
03:57:10.319 --> 03:57:17.799
And this is your natural state of being. This is

1172
03:57:18.079 --> 03:57:24.760
how you just normally feel when you take away all

1173
03:57:24.920 --> 03:57:31.879
that other stuff that we add, you know, things like

1174
03:57:32.280 --> 03:57:48.559
stress and worrying and overthinking, anxiety, tension, just generally thinking

1175
03:57:48.600 --> 03:57:54.680
about stuff. You take that away, which is what we do.

1176
03:57:55.479 --> 03:58:07.319
What we do now you're left with a real sense

1177
03:58:07.959 --> 03:58:20.479
of peacefulness, which comes to you very quickly because ultimately

1178
03:58:21.120 --> 03:58:35.040
it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort, almost as

1179
03:58:35.079 --> 03:58:39.159
if you've gone inside yourself, and you've found a special

1180
03:58:39.280 --> 03:58:52.959
place where everything is peaceful, a place where you can

1181
03:58:53.120 --> 03:59:03.719
feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort, a place

1182
03:59:03.799 --> 03:59:12.600
where you can be you, where you can accept yourself

1183
03:59:13.600 --> 03:59:18.680
for who you are, the place where you're not trying

1184
03:59:18.760 --> 03:59:29.120
to please anybody else ever, a place where you can

1185
03:59:30.840 --> 03:59:39.600
actually not just love yourself, but in some ways more importantly,

1186
03:59:40.200 --> 03:59:57.280
you can like yourself appreciate who you are. That sense

1187
03:59:57.360 --> 04:00:10.680
of gratitude is in the air all around you, and

1188
04:00:10.840 --> 04:00:18.639
that's also a place where you can actually feel the

1189
04:00:19.000 --> 04:00:34.280
healing energy soaking into your body. Heathing energy soaking into

1190
04:00:34.399 --> 04:00:44.360
your body, and the healing energy spreads through your veins,

1191
04:00:48.120 --> 04:00:55.000
traveling to each and every single part of your body.

1192
04:01:00.920 --> 04:01:05.520
And you start to realize that actually that healing energy,

1193
04:01:08.000 --> 04:01:14.399
it's not just entered into your brain, it's become part

1194
04:01:14.959 --> 04:01:26.200
of your brain, and that spinal fluid is now mixed

1195
04:01:26.319 --> 04:01:37.440
with healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so

1196
04:01:37.719 --> 04:01:49.559
much more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but also

1197
04:01:52.520 --> 04:02:00.120
you start to realize to actually, what's happening now with

1198
04:02:00.200 --> 04:02:09.840
that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body, It's actually

1199
04:02:10.280 --> 04:02:20.479
changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're going

1200
04:02:20.559 --> 04:02:27.360
to feel not just now, but tomorrow and the next day.

1201
04:02:29.280 --> 04:02:36.719
As your health improves, not just your physical health, but

1202
04:02:36.879 --> 04:02:44.280
your mental health. Things that used to bother you in

1203
04:02:44.399 --> 04:02:52.000
the past, for some reason, no longer have the effect

1204
04:02:52.479 --> 04:03:01.399
that they used to because something has changed deep within you.

1205
04:03:06.479 --> 04:03:12.879
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1206
04:03:16.719 --> 04:03:26.840
no longer have that power to control you the way

1207
04:03:26.920 --> 04:03:34.920
they seem to be able to before. As you realize

1208
04:03:35.959 --> 04:03:48.360
that you're the one who decides what affects you, you're

1209
04:03:48.879 --> 04:03:58.760
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm when

1210
04:03:59.639 --> 04:04:14.600
you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing

1211
04:04:17.200 --> 04:04:25.760
continuing to grow and improve your life day by day,

1212
04:04:31.680 --> 04:04:39.879
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier.

1213
04:04:44.840 --> 04:04:54.440
And sleeping is the most natural thing in the world

1214
04:04:55.879 --> 04:05:04.200
to you, because falling asleep is something that you've done

1215
04:05:07.239 --> 04:05:14.920
so many times in your life, and you know that

1216
04:05:15.159 --> 04:05:20.360
you were born, as we all were, with the ability

1217
04:05:22.000 --> 04:05:32.280
to fall asleep naturally. You were born with that ability

1218
04:05:35.280 --> 04:05:49.520
to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep. Even

1219
04:05:49.600 --> 04:05:54.319
when we're kids sometimes will fall asleep when we don't

1220
04:05:54.360 --> 04:06:00.360
even want to try to take us stay awake. Maybe

1221
04:06:00.440 --> 04:06:03.760
it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or

1222
04:06:04.639 --> 04:06:07.680
holiday or something we look forward to. We don't want

1223
04:06:07.719 --> 04:06:12.239
to go to sleep, but the more we want to

1224
04:06:12.280 --> 04:06:21.559
stay awake, the more we just start to drift. And

1225
04:06:21.719 --> 04:06:25.639
the more you fight drifting, the more you try to

1226
04:06:25.760 --> 04:06:30.719
stop yourself and drift in a safe the deeper and

1227
04:06:30.959 --> 04:06:42.520
stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not just with

1228
04:06:42.760 --> 04:06:49.159
the need to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep,

1229
04:06:52.399 --> 04:07:05.719
but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA, and

1230
04:07:05.959 --> 04:07:11.440
sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at times

1231
04:07:12.360 --> 04:07:25.319
we have forgotten that relaxing completely is not only a

1232
04:07:25.600 --> 04:07:49.840
wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very, very

1233
04:07:50.360 --> 04:07:56.040
easy to let go, because that's all it is. It

1234
04:07:56.120 --> 04:08:10.799
is just siding to let go. And when you press

1235
04:08:11.000 --> 04:08:19.159
the play button on my recordings, you have given permission

1236
04:08:21.520 --> 04:08:29.239
for my voice to relax you. When you press that

1237
04:08:29.399 --> 04:08:34.959
play button, you have given me permission for my words

1238
04:08:38.840 --> 04:08:49.239
to effect you in a positive, only a positive way.

1239
04:08:53.200 --> 04:09:16.719
Opening up your mind two useful and healing suggestions that

1240
04:09:16.920 --> 04:09:28.079
can have such an amazing effect on how you feel

1241
04:09:28.799 --> 04:09:42.959
right now, as well as those changes that continue long

1242
04:09:43.399 --> 04:09:53.639
after the recording ends. Those changes within you that continue

1243
04:09:53.920 --> 04:10:07.159
to flourish and grow, transforming your life in a positive,

1244
04:10:09.000 --> 04:10:18.600
beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in your life

1245
04:10:20.079 --> 04:10:34.840
in the direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling,

1246
04:10:37.639 --> 04:10:45.719
this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,

1247
04:10:53.479 --> 04:11:07.440
this feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

1248
04:11:15.360 --> 04:11:29.120
and that positivity grows within you each and every day.

1249
04:11:32.200 --> 04:11:42.000
Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed

1250
04:11:44.360 --> 04:11:56.680
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's

1251
04:11:56.760 --> 04:12:02.319
not that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind

1252
04:12:02.399 --> 04:12:14.280
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from

1253
04:12:14.399 --> 04:12:24.639
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're

1254
04:12:24.719 --> 04:12:35.520
going to start noticing when negativity arises and you can

1255
04:12:35.719 --> 04:12:49.639
just say stop, stop, and then negativity will turn around

1256
04:12:50.280 --> 04:13:09.639
and leave you alone. Stop and that negativity would disappear.

1257
04:13:17.799 --> 04:13:24.280
And as you notice that you feel way more relaxed

1258
04:13:25.719 --> 04:13:41.040
than you probably expected, you can now congratulate yourself because

1259
04:13:41.280 --> 04:13:47.639
you're the person that has done this. You are the

1260
04:13:47.799 --> 04:13:52.840
one that has opened your mind up to the simple

1261
04:13:53.079 --> 04:14:00.920
facts that you can feel more relaxed in your body

1262
04:14:01.680 --> 04:14:10.920
and in your mind. You've opened your mind up to

1263
04:14:13.280 --> 04:14:19.840
the birthright of being able to just fall asleep easily

1264
04:14:20.920 --> 04:14:34.959
when you choose. And that's a nice feeling. Don't you

1265
04:14:35.040 --> 04:14:46.600
think it feels nice? Doesn't it? To feel calm full,

1266
04:14:46.680 --> 04:14:51.239
That healing energy is spreading through your body in your

1267
04:14:51.360 --> 04:15:08.799
mind to spend time a special place where negativity can

1268
04:15:08.959 --> 04:15:21.680
no longer enter. Negativity is banned. It's bad, it's not

1269
04:15:21.760 --> 04:15:28.760
allowed entry. Doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here.

1270
04:15:29.120 --> 04:15:38.239
It doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place in your life,

1271
04:15:48.239 --> 04:15:57.719
which makes room for more comfort, more healing, more relaxation,

1272
04:16:02.600 --> 04:16:21.760
more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it?

1273
04:16:23.600 --> 04:16:27.799
Just the let go.

1274
04:16:29.719 --> 04:16:49.600
With everything. I'm gonna count down now from twenty down

1275
04:16:49.719 --> 04:16:59.079
to one. You can continue to relax. If you choose,

1276
04:16:59.360 --> 04:17:13.719
you drift to sleep. With every number you hear me say,

1277
04:17:18.040 --> 04:17:25.399
you can fill twice as relaxed, or if you choose,

1278
04:17:25.559 --> 04:18:33.399
you can fill twice to sleeping now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen,

1279
04:18:42.440 --> 04:19:41.319
thirteen to twelve. I left m ten nine eight seven, six.

1280
04:19:49.399 --> 04:19:56.959
Five four.

1281
04:20:00.040 --> 04:20:31.680
Yeah, this is your time.

1282
04:20:34.200 --> 04:20:48.520
To just take a break, your time to relax, to

1283
04:20:48.639 --> 04:21:00.799
allow your mind to slow down, to you your self

1284
04:21:01.000 --> 04:21:19.040
permission to take a break from everything, and you're the

1285
04:21:19.319 --> 04:21:22.920
only person that can make that decision.

1286
04:21:25.760 --> 04:21:26.440
You're the only.

1287
04:21:26.399 --> 04:21:34.520
Person that can actually tell your mind to just relax,

1288
04:21:42.680 --> 04:21:58.280
to just take some time off so that you can

1289
04:21:59.040 --> 04:22:04.479
focus on your body, getting in touch with how you

1290
04:22:04.639 --> 04:22:21.520
feel physically, and in the process of this buddy scan,

1291
04:22:21.920 --> 04:22:32.399
where you focus on different parts of your body, those

1292
04:22:32.719 --> 04:22:39.879
parts that you focus on and observe. Even though you're

1293
04:22:39.959 --> 04:22:48.760
not purposely requesting for those parts of your body to relax,

1294
04:22:51.040 --> 04:22:57.360
it's kind of expected. You expect when you listen to

1295
04:22:57.520 --> 04:23:10.200
my voice to feel more relaxed naturally, because when you're

1296
04:23:10.280 --> 04:23:20.479
listening to me, your attention is focused on my words,

1297
04:23:25.440 --> 04:23:36.319
and as my words guide you to focus on those

1298
04:23:36.559 --> 04:23:54.639
parts of your body, your focus increases, which actually calms

1299
04:23:54.879 --> 04:24:14.959
your mind. And when you wind calms down, your body relaxes.

1300
04:24:22.479 --> 04:24:23.840
And when your body.

1301
04:24:27.159 --> 04:24:46.920
Calms down, your mind relaxes, and eve though you have

1302
04:24:47.120 --> 04:24:55.920
not really started to focus on your body, it can

1303
04:24:56.559 --> 04:25:06.600
already feel that healing energy is spreading through your body,

1304
04:25:11.520 --> 04:25:18.680
pushing out stress and tension.

1305
04:25:22.440 --> 04:25:23.319
Healing.

1306
04:25:24.840 --> 04:25:31.639
All the parts of your body, including your skin, your bones,

1307
04:25:33.200 --> 04:25:39.360
your blood, all of your organs inside your body, all

1308
04:25:39.440 --> 04:25:48.079
of the muscles, all of the fat, all everything, every

1309
04:25:48.360 --> 04:25:54.000
hair on your body is filled with that healing energy.

1310
04:26:02.040 --> 04:26:09.760
And when your brain it fills with that healing energy,

1311
04:26:17.719 --> 04:26:42.239
the feeding of comforts of relaxation increases deeply, increases in

1312
04:26:42.360 --> 04:26:58.079
a way that your mind starts to fill perhaps bit drowsing.

1313
04:27:02.680 --> 04:27:08.600
Because it's not needed, and it may.

1314
04:27:08.840 --> 04:27:27.559
Start to drift if that's what's needed. So if you're

1315
04:27:27.680 --> 04:27:34.159
listening to this and what you need is deep relaxation.

1316
04:27:34.159 --> 04:27:38.639
That's what you get. If what you need is.

1317
04:27:40.360 --> 04:27:50.079
To fall asleep naturally easily, that your mind drifts, that's

1318
04:27:50.319 --> 04:28:04.120
also for what happened because by pressing that play button

1319
04:28:05.079 --> 04:28:10.000
on the podcast and listening to me, I give permission

1320
04:28:11.920 --> 04:28:22.479
for your body and your mind. In fact, you give

1321
04:28:22.600 --> 04:28:28.000
the command to your body and your mind to relax.

1322
04:28:31.280 --> 04:28:40.000
Deeply and to drift off to sleep if that's what

1323
04:28:40.440 --> 04:28:41.840
you want.

1324
04:28:45.280 --> 04:28:53.719
Need. And as I.

1325
04:28:54.000 --> 04:29:04.200
Focus on the different parts of your body, you may

1326
04:29:05.719 --> 04:29:07.799
start to just drift.

1327
04:29:11.920 --> 04:29:15.200
And then you come back again and do you hear.

1328
04:29:15.159 --> 04:29:19.719
Me talking And I'm focusing on a different parts of

1329
04:29:19.840 --> 04:29:33.879
your body, and you may find yourself drifting. You don't

1330
04:29:34.040 --> 04:29:42.280
realize you're drifting until you stop drifting, you're alert again

1331
04:29:43.280 --> 04:29:49.040
to my voice, focusing what a different parts of your

1332
04:29:49.120 --> 04:30:00.600
body starts to relax in detail, because that drifting, it's

1333
04:30:00.719 --> 04:30:03.000
basically you already.

1334
04:30:04.760 --> 04:30:06.000
In the sleep zone.

1335
04:30:12.520 --> 04:30:17.520
And the more you dreat, the longer you dread, and

1336
04:30:17.680 --> 04:30:25.719
the longer you dread. Eventually that drifting.

1337
04:30:25.440 --> 04:30:33.239
Continues into sleep, and.

1338
04:30:33.319 --> 04:30:35.360
That's the last you remember.

1339
04:30:37.000 --> 04:30:45.280
Until you wake up in your own time, when.

1340
04:30:45.159 --> 04:30:48.280
You experience the right amount of sleep.

1341
04:30:53.319 --> 04:30:58.840
Because when you do, and if you do all asleep, it's.

1342
04:31:01.440 --> 04:31:26.760
Strongly pleasant, so relaxing, so deep sleep. It feels so

1343
04:31:27.079 --> 04:31:39.319
nice to relax into the one body in mind as

1344
04:31:39.440 --> 04:31:47.159
you feel that heating energy is spreading through it. Relaxing

1345
04:31:47.399 --> 04:31:56.079
is so deeply relaxing is so.

1346
04:31:58.200 --> 04:31:59.280
So deeply.

1347
04:32:08.440 --> 04:32:22.079
We start to focus on your eyes, leave it down.

1348
04:32:24.719 --> 04:32:25.680
To you, sure.

1349
04:32:33.360 --> 04:32:35.159
Now till you make.

1350
04:32:42.440 --> 04:33:54.959
Assurdest oh hious, yes, yes boy you you.

1351
04:34:03.680 --> 04:34:14.040
You don't.

1352
04:34:31.880 --> 04:34:42.919
And the beginning spreading grime inside your body.

1353
04:34:45.439 --> 04:34:45.880
You are.

1354
04:34:48.759 --> 04:35:02.080
Now let's focus again on parts of your buddy folly

1355
04:35:02.159 --> 04:35:11.599
saved this time on your forehead. Now on your mouth,

1356
04:35:12.840 --> 04:35:32.880
your lips, the tongue, the foule of your mouth, fok you.

1357
04:35:33.000 --> 04:35:35.799
Then on your fingers.

1358
04:35:40.680 --> 04:35:44.759
And you really need it. Then your fingers a little

1359
04:35:44.840 --> 04:35:45.799
bits you can.

1360
04:35:46.759 --> 04:36:01.360
Focus on each one individually, both hands, and even though

1361
04:36:01.599 --> 04:36:03.119
if you focus on both of.

1362
04:36:03.159 --> 04:36:09.159
Your hands now they almost seem to just melt into one.

1363
04:36:14.479 --> 04:36:18.520
Maybe your right hand start in your left hand end

1364
04:36:22.040 --> 04:36:34.200
almost is it just mixed together? Now focusing on your knees,

1365
04:36:40.159 --> 04:36:43.840
just noticing how your knees fell.

1366
04:37:00.560 --> 04:37:02.279
Now, i'd descin and.

1367
04:37:02.360 --> 04:37:08.200
With elbows, ud be saying on both of your elbows,

1368
04:37:14.520 --> 04:37:22.520
just observing the feeling, noting with elbows.

1369
04:37:46.159 --> 04:38:04.520
Now fight be sin observing what am I energy?

1370
04:38:07.080 --> 04:38:55.080
The canting absurd of the e course, be aware.

1371
04:38:57.599 --> 04:40:12.919
It's a good sensations. See now the choice, let me

04:40:13.080 --> 04:40:13.919

1373
04:40:20.880 --> 04:40:27.400
Be aware now you choice.

1374
04:40:29.720 --> 04:40:34.599
F y now.

1375
04:41:05.439 --> 04:41:06.599
Ninety sen.

1376
04:41:16.759 --> 04:41:18.080
H e sire.

1377
04:41:19.360 --> 04:41:32.119
Body feels not to send.

1378
04:41:38.959 --> 04:41:40.040
You mind.

1379
04:41:43.159 --> 04:41:47.759
Feels now.

1380
04:42:05.720 --> 04:42:26.319
Let him go, lets him go, let's ye go.

1381
04:42:30.400 --> 04:43:05.520
Everything, let's him go, lets h go, let's go hum everything.

1382
04:43:20.919 --> 04:43:21.959
I'm going to start now.

1383
04:43:23.560 --> 04:43:26.040
And i'd likely just first of all, just to see

1384
04:43:26.080 --> 04:43:34.279
yourself lying down on the message table, lying on the front.

1385
04:43:35.520 --> 04:43:43.520
Your head is supported, your arms are supported, and you

1386
04:43:43.560 --> 04:43:49.759
feel comfortable and you're breathing. It's really easy, and you

1387
04:43:49.919 --> 04:43:56.520
feel you feel confident in how you look as well,

1388
04:43:56.680 --> 04:44:00.439
So there's none of that issue of body prop lungs

1389
04:44:00.560 --> 04:44:09.240
or shyness, because I'm a professional and this is a

1390
04:44:09.439 --> 04:44:18.319
therapy session, so none of that stuff matters whatsoever. This

1391
04:44:18.479 --> 04:44:25.880
is about you. This is about how you feel, how

1392
04:44:26.720 --> 04:44:33.919
you can enjoy that sense of comfort and relaxation that

1393
04:44:34.080 --> 04:44:40.439
comes from letting go and allow him my hands and

1394
04:44:40.599 --> 04:44:47.919
my fingers to relax you by a massagy your body.

1395
04:44:53.119 --> 04:44:58.400
Someone starts off just by placing my hands on the

1396
04:44:58.439 --> 04:45:03.360
back of your head, just gently, just you can feel

1397
04:45:03.520 --> 04:45:11.959
with my hands feel like really on you. So you

1398
04:45:12.040 --> 04:45:14.279
can maybe feel the warmth of my hands on the

1399
04:45:14.360 --> 04:45:19.639
back of your head. And with my hands to the

1400
04:45:19.799 --> 04:45:24.000
side of your head, not pressing, but just holding there

1401
04:45:24.119 --> 04:45:29.959
very gently, maybe over your ears, and a little bit

1402
04:45:30.040 --> 04:45:34.599
on your face, just so you can feel my hands

1403
04:45:36.720 --> 04:45:38.840
so you can become accustomed.

1404
04:45:39.880 --> 04:45:40.279
To them.

1405
04:45:48.919 --> 04:45:51.119
And now put my hands on the back of your

1406
04:45:51.159 --> 04:45:55.880
head again and gently let them slide down.

1407
04:45:58.240 --> 04:45:59.360
Onto the back of your neck.

1408
04:46:07.000 --> 04:46:16.599
You can feel my hands gently stroking the.

1409
04:46:16.639 --> 04:46:17.439
Back of your neck.

1410
04:46:17.520 --> 04:46:18.240
And start with.

1411
04:46:22.799 --> 04:46:24.119
Just so you can get used to.

1412
04:46:24.240 --> 04:46:29.720
The feeling my hands on your skin, get accustomed to

1413
04:46:33.720 --> 04:46:38.599
realize that you're safe, it's all good, it's all fine.

1414
04:46:45.000 --> 04:46:49.119
And we start gently messaging the muscles in.

1415
04:46:49.159 --> 04:46:58.639
The back of your neck with both your hands.

1416
04:47:04.759 --> 04:47:10.759
And this is a very trusting situation really, because our

1417
04:47:10.919 --> 04:47:15.560
next is so fragile. To have someone have their hands

1418
04:47:16.279 --> 04:47:21.240
around your neck in that way can sometimes be problematic

1419
04:47:21.360 --> 04:47:26.959
for people, which is why massages are quite good, because

1420
04:47:26.959 --> 04:47:35.520
it allows you to relax and to get in touch

1421
04:47:35.799 --> 04:47:53.400
with trust, to feel peaceful and calm. It's a massage

1422
04:47:53.680 --> 04:48:01.919
decides if your neck gently. You can from the bottom

1423
04:48:01.959 --> 04:48:05.639
of your neck, it could be sort of near where

1424
04:48:05.639 --> 04:48:08.840
you shoulders start, I guess, all the way up.

1425
04:48:10.840 --> 04:48:11.520
To your jaw.

1426
04:48:13.319 --> 04:48:16.840
It is kind of area that side of your neck.

1427
04:48:19.639 --> 04:48:22.200
Of course, there's a lot longer than the front of

1428
04:48:22.240 --> 04:48:38.360
your neck, and massage in the back of your neck,

1429
04:48:42.200 --> 04:48:51.000
especially that area where perhaps we hold tension, and it's

1430
04:48:51.040 --> 04:48:55.240
that area's massage. You can actually feel a.

1431
04:48:55.360 --> 04:48:57.799
Sense of release in the back of your neck.

1432
04:49:03.279 --> 04:49:05.040
And maybe you can breathe.

1433
04:49:04.720 --> 04:49:09.759
It out as well. Not just how it feels, they're

1434
04:49:09.840 --> 04:49:10.799
just how you feel.

1435
04:49:20.720 --> 04:49:24.319
Then moving down to that area between the neck and

1436
04:49:24.439 --> 04:49:32.439
your shoulders, that must the area starting to message.

1437
04:49:34.040 --> 04:49:35.520
That area on both sides.

1438
04:49:37.959 --> 04:49:40.319
This would be the area that a lot of people

1439
04:49:40.360 --> 04:49:43.159
would message if they were going to give you like

1440
04:49:43.360 --> 04:49:49.240
a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders, but

1441
04:49:49.400 --> 04:49:52.159
it's all the muscles that would lead to the shoulders.

1442
04:49:53.479 --> 04:49:54.319
And the neck.

1443
04:49:56.240 --> 04:50:00.200
And again making a whole attention and straight yes.

1444
04:50:01.880 --> 04:50:09.479
Massaged. Sometimes a my deep message is useful, and.

1445
04:50:09.759 --> 04:50:13.200
You decide how deep that message is.

1446
04:50:24.479 --> 04:50:29.880
And just allow my knuckles just to dig in.

1447
04:50:31.479 --> 04:50:34.319
To get to those muscles until really.

1448
04:50:37.439 --> 04:50:38.680
The next stop.

1449
04:50:40.840 --> 04:50:58.520
All the time being firmed yet, gentle d I'm just

1450
04:50:58.759 --> 04:51:00.680
stretching down the area.

1451
04:51:03.240 --> 04:51:05.159
To your act your shoulders.

1452
04:51:06.919 --> 04:51:16.799
Moving to the muscles of your shoulders and maybe initially just.

1453
04:51:18.360 --> 04:51:21.240
Clive up the shoulders a little bit off the table,

1454
04:51:22.599 --> 04:51:24.520
just to give you a little bit of a stretch.

1455
04:51:26.520 --> 04:51:37.680
Reachingly the muscles at the front of your shoulders besides

1456
04:51:38.040 --> 04:51:38.479
the back.

1457
04:51:46.639 --> 04:51:51.119
Okay, this is the part that really take quite a

1458
04:51:51.159 --> 04:51:54.000
bit of pressure, quite a bit of.

1459
04:51:57.759 --> 04:51:58.159
Leading.

1460
04:51:58.639 --> 04:52:01.400
If if you wish, you.

1461
04:52:03.479 --> 04:52:12.799
Release the tension, really get into those muscles and play

1462
04:52:12.799 --> 04:52:16.880
your fingers in there. It feel really, really nice.

1463
04:52:18.840 --> 04:52:26.400
Sometimes it's just been stoked gently, I've been messaged quite strongly.

1464
04:52:30.200 --> 04:52:40.240
Can all be benefic shore real social the muscles in

04:52:40.319 --> 04:52:41.040
