00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:10.480
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason Newland,

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:17.760
and please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

3
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:31.559
Close your eyes. Yeah, oh and what else? So this

4
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:42.000
is trivia Tuesday? Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes it is, yes,

5
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.640
it is. So. Basically what I do on Trivia Tuesday

6
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:55.759
is I think of a subject and then I ask

7
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:05.400
chat GPT to do the research for me and come

8
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:12.200
up with or ask for one hundred okay, or for

9
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:18.959
I think twenty to thirty facts about a subject. And

10
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.319
today I'm going to talk about hypnosis. I mean, I

11
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.439
could probably do quite a few facts off the top

12
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:31.400
of my head, but they might be wrong. The ones

13
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.760
I give you may also be wrong, so I'm not

14
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:41.239
you know, I take no responsibility for anything that is incorrect. However,

15
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:50.000
I thought it would make it a mildly interesting, boring recording. Yes,

16
00:01:52.159 --> 00:02:00.400
the thing is, I'm using the CHATCHPT Advanced Reasoning and

17
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.280
it's taken a whole I probably would have done it

18
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.080
by now if I just used a normal chat GBT four.

19
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.159
But I wanted to get I wanted to go a

20
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.840
little bit more in depth. If you know what I mean,

21
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:23.919
If you know what I mean it. So today is Tuesday,

22
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:30.599
the twenty seventh of May, twenty twenty five. Vinnie's in

23
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:37.120
the background, chumping on a bony thing. Been no windy today.

24
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.639
You might actually hear the wind in the background, because

25
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.080
I do have the window open. I was listening back

26
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.039
to a recording from yesterday, and I could hear the birds.

27
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.000
We'll just let you know how loud the birds are,

28
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.080
because the microphone doesn't generally pick up much in the

29
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.919
way of the birds singing. But it's that time of

30
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.560
the year when they're all out and having fun, which

31
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.599
is good. Well, it might be not having fun. They

32
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.719
might be rehearsing for an upcoming stage show, and they

33
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.439
might actually not be enjoying it at all. Might have

34
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:14.919
had enough and they just want to go to the pub.

35
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.000
I don't know. It's been raining as well. But luckily,

36
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.319
even though it's been raining on and off all day,

37
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.400
I've managed to miss the rain. So I've took Vinnie

38
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:31.680
out twice and I haven't I haven't got wet, had

39
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.120
a little bit of a little few specs on the specs,

40
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:44.919
but other than that, that's been all right. Did I

41
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:50.000
actually started the day off by doing a new recording,

42
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.080
which I don't normally do. I don't normally do a

43
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.639
recording first three in the morning, but for some reason

44
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.439
I had the the little urge, and what I did

45
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.039
is I did and let me Boil your Pain Away

46
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.639
called Pleasant Memories, and it was let Me Boil Your

47
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:22.040
Pain Away number thirty five. So yeah, I just did

48
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.439
that for those that would like to watch it or

49
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:31.319
listen to it. Rather yesterday I did two recordings as well.

50
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.800
Yeah I did. I did a body scan and I

51
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:42.600
also did Monday's Boil Objects dog walking. So yeah, so

52
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:50.439
today's going to be two recordings. Also, it's six thirty

53
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.680
seven PM, so I don't know if I'm gonna have

54
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.519
a chance to upload or edit and upload this. I

55
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:04.120
might do because I don't. I don't really watch much

56
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.439
TV in the evening, not really, I don't, you know.

57
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:15.439
I'm not really that routine that I used to have.

58
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.560
I want to talk about TV now, so we talk

59
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.759
about TV instead of hypnosis. Hypnosis is boring. Let's talk

60
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.800
about televisions. Oh no, it's it's done. All this work.

61
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.879
It seemed a shame not to go along with it.

62
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.399
Televisions I've had, in fact, that could be a future

63
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.839
boring objects recording. I can hear people no talk about

64
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.920
the television. It doesn't want to listen about hypnoisis stop

65
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:57.439
not allowed? No, So yeah I did that. Yeah. I

66
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:02.199
don't have my whole not my whole life. But you know,

67
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.920
when I was younger, most things happened back then. When

68
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:15.040
I was younger, I I had like an evening protocol. Yeah,

69
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.879
I'd get home from work depending on what time I

70
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.240
got home from work, depending on what I watched on TV.

71
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.399
But my whole evening would be based around watching TV.

72
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:31.079
So if I got home at six o'clock, I would

73
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.240
possibly watch the News, maybe I'd watch Home and Away.

74
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.399
If I got home at five point thirty, I'd watch

75
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.560
The Neighbors, then Home and Away, and then maybe Hollyoaks.

76
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:48.920
I think it's in my memory that was kind of

77
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.639
the order of the different programs, and then perhaps I'd

78
00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:01.120
watch Sometimes I would watch the four News at seven,

79
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.959
and then it's seven point thirty, I'd watched EastEnders, and

80
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.360
then depending on what time of the of my life

81
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.920
it was, it's a period, and I'd watched The Bill

82
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:19.319
at eight o'clock, And there was a period of time

83
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.279
when I'd watch Family guy at nine o'clock every night,

84
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.759
So that happened for a few years. That's when I

85
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:37.319
moved here. But for some reason, I just haven't.

86
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:38.279
I just.

87
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:41.879
You know, I mean, if I do like to check

88
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.279
the news just to see what's going on, generally I

89
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:51.639
don't get like hugely involved, just to see what's going on,

90
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:58.480
and I like, you know, if let's say I'm meeting

91
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.839
mid dinner, I'd stick the TV on and I'll look

92
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.560
through the channels to see if there's any old shows on,

93
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.199
like what Happened to The Likely Lads or the Kenny

94
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:14.000
Everidge Show or something from that the seventies and eighties,

95
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:22.360
just a bit of light relief. And if there's nothing on,

96
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.920
I'll probably go to YouTube and just have a look

97
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.199
at some of the channels I watch on YouTube, just

98
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.320
to see what's going on there. I mean, sometimes I'll

99
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:36.799
actually just go on YouTube to get the news anyway.

100
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:44.600
It depends really. According to my website, I've got six

101
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:51.600
thousand episodes, six thousand recordings that you can listen to,

102
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:59.200
although I'd pretty sure that probably includes the ten hour

103
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.720
ones and the five O ones, you know, so, but

104
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:09.120
six thousand it's quite a lot isn't it. I'm just

105
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:15.720
going to have a quick look what's the statistics. Right,

106
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:21.360
It's been a quiet day. I worked a little bit

107
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.960
on the back end doing some of the se O,

108
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:35.080
which is a search engine optimization stuff, you know, getting

109
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.799
some stuff transcribed and like all that stuff. But it's yeah,

110
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:52.000
it's all right, it's okay. Spose, spose, Nope, that's not on.

111
00:09:52.120 --> 00:10:02.120
To cancel that reset cancel. I wonder if the the

112
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:10.120
subscription transcription page. That's weird. Sorry, I'm just talking out loud.

113
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:19.240
There's a new video software Chords. What's it called PO

114
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.879
three LEO three, MEO three LEO three CO three to

115
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:29.600
three stuff like that, and it can make really amazing

116
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:34.039
quality videos, short videos, but really good quality in a

117
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.440
very short period of time. Something that would have took

118
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.480
hours and hours a couple of years ago just to

119
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.320
wait for it to come through and it still wouldn't

120
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:52.000
be that good quality is now available in seconds, which

121
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.919
means based on that, probably in a couple of years,

122
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.360
probably be able to put a movie together just by

123
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.679
putting in a correct prompt and in like an hour

124
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:09.080
to probably have a whole movie, which is I mean,

125
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.840
it might be involved putting in a whole script, you know.

126
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.159
But it's quite amazing because I do sometimes think after

127
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.639
I've watched a movie, I sometimes think to myself, I

128
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:26.159
need a we WI But that's not really relevant talking

129
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.879
about it. I sometimes think to myself, I would have

130
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.559
preferred for it to be different. I would have kept

131
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.039
that character in, maybe got rid of the other character,

132
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:41.960
maybe had them do something different, And almost like I

133
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.120
could have made that movie a bit better for me,

134
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:51.080
not for the overall audience, but I might have enjoyed

135
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:58.360
it more if something else had happened. But then, I'm

136
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.320
not a director. I'm not a movie director. And sometimes

137
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.200
I see these movies and I think, well, they get

138
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:11.879
bad ratings. But sometimes and I'm just thinking, but the

139
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:17.320
actors and the producers and the directors and the costume

140
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:23.559
designers and the writers, you know, all the people involved,

141
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:27.759
sometimes thousands of people, but at least quite a few

142
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:35.159
people involved in making putting a movie together. I think

143
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.200
it's good or think it's worthwhile. So on that basis,

144
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.000
I sometimes think to myself, well, it's worth giving it

145
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.120
a go to watch it, because a lot of efforts

146
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:55.399
been put in for this for it to be dismissed. Yeah,

147
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.159
I've got someone phone in me. Luckily my phone is

148
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:07.200
on mute. Oh dear, I don't know why I used

149
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.159
to love talking on the phone. I don't like it anymore.

150
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.120
We don't not, I don't like it all the time.

151
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:17.919
Depends who it is, but I just can't. I don't

152
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:22.080
answer the phone if I'm doing the recording anyway, unless

153
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.039
it's like an important vocal, you know. I mean, if

154
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:32.440
my if my dad wrong, i'd answer it, or my brother.

155
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:39.960
But outside of that, I wouldn't. Generally, what was I

156
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:45.840
talking about? Something I can't remember? So here we go, hypnosist.

157
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:56.240
How many facts have I got? How many trivia facts? Oh?

158
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.600
Did give me a hundred? Okay? Cool? So I might

159
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:08.919
be able to expand on more on it from my

160
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.960
own knowledge, but maybe not. I might just give you

161
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:24.320
the fact. So hypnosis is a nineteenth century word. Scottish

162
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:32.480
surgeon James Braid coined hypnotism the word hypnotism in eighteen

163
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:40.000
forty one after watching Mesmerists and deciding the state resembled

164
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:50.080
sleep and sleeping Greek is hypnos but actually focused attention.

165
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.879
So it resembles sleep but was actually focused attention. So

166
00:14:53.919 --> 00:15:00.759
he came up with the word hypnotism. He tried. He

167
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.960
tried to change the word twice, apparently because he didn't

168
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.759
like the word hypnotism or hypnosis. Didn't like it, even

169
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.960
though he kind of created it or coined it, made

170
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.919
it popular, and he tried to change it, but no

171
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.279
one was eminent. Nope, we like that word. We're going

172
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:23.000
to keep it now. Mesmerists. You may have heard of

173
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:29.879
the word mesmerism. It was it's named after France, France

174
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:39.799
Anton Mesmer, who treated patients with animal magnetism. So in

175
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:44.440
the late seventeen hundreds, what he did is he passed

176
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:53.360
magnets over people's bodies, sparking Europe's first medical hypnosis craze

177
00:15:53.840 --> 00:16:04.320
and given English the term mesmerize. So what happened to

178
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:11.639
him is he became very famous and was loved by

179
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:17.799
the royal family. I think he was French, and he's

180
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:29.559
loved by the French royal family and some experts. When

181
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.120
you when you bear in mind doctors in the late

182
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:41.879
seventeen hundreds, the average person probably knows more about the

183
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:49.840
body potentially and science than doctors did back then, just

184
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.799
you know, because of the knowledge we've got. I mean

185
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:58.600
they didn't they were still blood letting people. It's like,

186
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:03.080
that's what we're still going on back then. And what

187
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:09.160
he did is he started this is something, Oh, I've

188
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.880
got a memory of something I read. How it worked

189
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.480
is he was doing the magnets and he.

190
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.920
Put he was blood letting someone, and he put the

191
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.599
magnets over where the blood was coming out, and the

192
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:30.960
blood the bleeding stopped, and he thought, oh, and then

193
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:35.240
he started doing that and he used sticks, and I

194
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.640
think there was he do lots of people at the

195
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.000
same time, so to have them all holding on to.

196
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:48.519
Big metal rods and stuff. So yeah, it's but he

197
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:56.240
was very popular, and then he was challenged like prove

198
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.160
it because he started talking about it was the animal

199
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:06.759
magnetism in the person, and the doctors or the surgeons

200
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.799
at the time didn't agree. So he invited them, I

201
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.039
got one just find out for yourself, just you know,

202
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:20.359
do some research. I welcome you to do it. And

203
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:30.119
some notable people, including America's Benjamin Franklin, came along and

204
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.720
they pretty much poo pooed what he was doing, and

205
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:42.039
they said it was just suggestion, which kind of you know,

206
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:46.960
is still pretty much agreed, is a suggestion as far

207
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:53.680
as kind of is it in a way. And then

208
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:58.279
Franz Anton Mesmer left the country, I do believe, and

209
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:04.160
just had his own had his own following elsewhere. I

210
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:06.599
think he also liked eating ice cream, but I'm not

211
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:15.440
sure about that. Abe Farrier imported Oriental hypnosis to Paris.

212
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:25.200
This is eighteen thirteen. The Indo Portuguese priest demonstrated trance

213
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:30.000
without magnets in eighteen thirteen, arguing that it was all

214
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:40.519
in the subject's mind. Okay. And James Esdale, James Sysdale

215
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:47.000
was very famous in the hypnosis world because and this

216
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:51.039
is something I used to have his book. Actually he

217
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:59.400
performed it's saying dozens, but hundreds is the actual. According

218
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.920
to his book, he performed one hundreds of surgeries in

219
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:16.240
colonial India using only mesmerism, which was like doing using hypnosis.

220
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.839
So this is eighteen forty five to eighteen fifty. It

221
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:27.559
listed major operations including all kinds of stuff, and it

222
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:34.960
didn't have any kind of pain relief at their disposal.

223
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:39.079
So he came back, he wrote a book about it,

224
00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:43.759
and he's yeah, he's down as being a really big

225
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.039
especially when it comes to that pain relief, A big

226
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.759
person in that no one had ever done that before,

227
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.319
or at least he was the first person to become

228
00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:03.519
famous for it. Jon Martin Charco, So I find this

229
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:12.480
interesting turned hypnosis into a part Parisian spectacle. He weakly

230
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:16.559
demonstrated at the Salpetriere. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing

231
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:21.200
that right in eighteen eighties packed galleries with doctors, artists

232
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:34.000
and writers cementing hypnosis inside early neurology. So he was big.

233
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:35.720
I think he had a book as well. I think

234
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:39.160
I used to have that, and so he was a

235
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:47.720
What kind of surgeon was he? I forget so the British,

236
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:53.400
but that was in France. The British Medical Association backed

237
00:21:53.440 --> 00:22:00.279
hypnosis in nineteen fifty five and it's called trance, a

238
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:11.960
genuine phenomenon useful for pain, neurosis and obstetrics whatever. That is,

239
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:16.799
recommending every medical student learned the basics, which they didn't

240
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:20.599
and they still don't as far as I'm aware. And

241
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:31.079
according to books I've read and information from doctors and

242
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:35.519
all that stuff. During the training to become a doctor,

243
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:43.519
they may get like one day of focusing on chronic

244
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:47.240
pain or focusing on pain. I don't know how true

245
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:52.519
that is. It might have changed. But you'd think considering

246
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:57.680
most of medicine, most of the reasons people go to

247
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:04.039
the doctors is because of pain, you'd think that that

248
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.720
would be something that would be studied a bit more.

249
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:13.319
But you know, I'm not a doctor, so I don't

250
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:18.759
know if it's true or not. The British Medical Association,

251
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:23.519
so why is it repeating itself? Oh no, I'm repeating myself.

252
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:29.480
The American The American Medical Association followed. In nineteen fifty eight,

253
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:36.400
the AMA Council Review labeled hypnosis a legitimate therapeutic tool

254
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.720
and urged more research. Now, I think in America you

255
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.640
have to be part of an organization in order to

256
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.680
have a license in order to practice hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

257
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:57.519
In the UK you don't. It's not controlled in the UK,

258
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:04.680
and stage shows in Britain do require a license under

259
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:09.680
the Hypnotism Act nineteen fifty two. So the law arose

260
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:15.720
after sensational stunts raised safety worries, and local councils still

261
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:20.160
enforce it today. But you can practice as a hypnotherapist,

262
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:29.119
but you can't do a live hypnosis act without getting

263
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:33.240
a license to do it, so you have to get permission.

264
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.480
I think they're a little bit more open to it

265
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:43.279
these days, but for a while it's quite difficult. So

266
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:46.920
let's have a look. Milton Erickson. My mate, Milton Erickson

267
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:56.880
revolutionized indirect hypnosis. So he was from Arizona. He wasn't

268
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:03.079
from Arizona, but he lived in Arizona. Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona,

269
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:07.839
but he ended up living there. So the Arizona psychiatrist

270
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:17.319
used storytelling, metaphas, and permissive language techniques now copied in therapy, coaching,

271
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:24.960
and advertising. A huge, huge had a huge effect on

272
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.599
hypnosis and the way it was taught and the way

273
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:34.240
it was used. I've got probably about ten fifteen books

274
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:41.359
on the man, some written by him, some written about him.

275
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.519
The weird thing about with Milton Erickson is that I'm

276
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:46.319
just going to add my own little bit of information

277
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:49.160
I know about. He had polio as a child. He

278
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.119
had it again when he was in his fifties, I think,

279
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:55.680
so he ended up in a wheelchair. But when he

280
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:58.240
was a child, he had it and he was bedridden,

281
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:05.640
couldn't walk, couldn't do anything, and he couldn't talk or anything.

282
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.680
He completely was pretty much wasn't able to do very

283
00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:14.480
much for quite a while and he gained very good

284
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.440
He found he studied the ways people were because he

285
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:23.759
had a big family. He studied the way that people

286
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:27.880
in his family were interacting and communicating, and how often

287
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:31.279
they'd say one thing that would mean another thing, you

288
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:34.000
know that, or how some of his brothers and sisters

289
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.640
would lie or you know, and he studied that and

290
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:43.599
he realized that the unconscious communication is often different from

291
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:51.519
the verbal communication. You know, there's incongruence. And he also

292
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.960
found ways to get people to do things for him

293
00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:04.000
without talking. And he noticed also how people matched each other,

294
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:06.759
like rapport when you know, when people were getting on

295
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:10.039
really well, and maybe they moved their right hand, the

296
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:13.319
other person maybe removed moved their right hand. And when

297
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:15.319
one was not in yes, the other one might be

298
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:19.240
noding yes. And whenever one one started tap dancing, the

299
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:21.559
other one started tap dancing. You know, things like that

300
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.079
one fired the other one fired. That was his parents.

301
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:28.640
But you know, he just noticed those things. And then

302
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:33.799
he became a doctor. He actually what happened is he

303
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:40.960
he recovered and then he he became a doctor, and

304
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.039
he became and he had but he had pain all

305
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.359
his life due to the podio. So he found a

306
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:53.920
way to deal with the pain using hypnosis, and then

307
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:58.640
he you know, as a doctor, became a psychiatrist, started

308
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:04.720
using hypnosis with psychiatric patients before he was even allowed

309
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:08.319
to you know, that's before it was even kind of

310
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:11.759
accepted to do that, because this would probably be in

311
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:18.880
the I think he did stuff with he helped people with,

312
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:26.640
if I remember rightly, during the war, they used to

313
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:30.200
call it shell shock. Now it be called PTSD. There

314
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:34.720
was shell shocked, then it was there was another name

315
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:39.599
for it, and now it's PTSD. And he used to

316
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:42.920
help people with that, soldiers and you know, the army, navy,

317
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:49.519
et cetera. With that, I'm partly making up some of this,

318
00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:53.240
I think it's true. And then he went on to

319
00:28:53.400 --> 00:29:00.440
be he became a teacher and he became very famous.

320
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:04.599
He had very bad I think asthma, so he needed

321
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.119
to move to the desert because of the air. The

322
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.920
air was better for him. And he was in a

323
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:17.200
wheelchair for the last probably thirty years twenty five years

324
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:21.079
of his life. Always used to wear purple, that was

325
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:30.799
his favorite color, and constantly smiling. You know, he's there's

326
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:35.119
actually a local neighbor who I think he walks his dog,

327
00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:37.599
probably because I don't talk to people unless they have

328
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:43.880
dogs with them. Generally, it looks like Milton Erickson. I

329
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:45.559
said to him, you know, you look at some really

330
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:52.279
famous He said, what George Clooney. I said no, and

331
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:54.880
he walked off. But if he had stated I'd have

332
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:57.559
said no Milton Erickson, who he wouldn't have known who

333
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:01.680
Milton Erickson was. Probably he might done. I'm not the

334
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:03.880
only person in the entire world that knows who Milton

335
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:06.720
Erickson is. Now you know who he is, if he

336
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.960
didn't already he is. He's kind of like the Bruce

337
00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:17.759
Lee of martial arts, the Bruce Lee or the Bruce

338
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:20.000
Lee of hypnosis if you want to go. So, if

339
00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:22.440
you go to martial arts, no matter what martial light

340
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:25.160
you're in, Bruce Lee is kind of at the top,

341
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:30.359
even though he didn't do necessarily jiu jitsu and he

342
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.359
wasn't judo what you know, but you get into martial arts,

343
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:38.279
Bruce Lee, he's what Bruce Lee movies. It's the standard thing.

344
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:41.319
At least it used to be. I don't know if

345
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.119
it's that case anymore. If you get into boxing, Muhammad

346
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:50.400
Ali is kind of there. He's the top. There's no

347
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:55.119
one above Muhammad Ali in the boxing world history, regardless

348
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:57.400
of whether he was the best or not. He's the

349
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:06.240
most famous boxer that's pretty much ever been. And with hypnosis,

350
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.480
Milton Ericson or Milton Hates Erickson is the most famous

351
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:16.359
in hypnosis. In the same way, you could say from

352
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:26.200
a psychology perspective, Sigmund Freud was the most famous psychologist

353
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:31.920
or psychiatrist still even though he's been gone for he

354
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:37.440
passed away in nineteen thirty nine, he's still you know,

355
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.079
he's still the most famous and runners up would be

356
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:46.240
probably young. And then you go to counseling, the most

357
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:54.640
famous counselor Carl Rodgers. I mean, he almost invented counseling.

358
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:58.240
So yeah, it's just so that's where Milton Erickson is.

359
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:04.799
On my personal opinion. Other people may think, yeah, yeah,

360
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:08.720
and like somebody else, alc Roger is around the corner.

361
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:13.160
He's much better than Milton, and it might be better than

362
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:18.480
now and he but uh, yeah, he's he was an

363
00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:25.039
absolute phenomena. I've got audios of him and I've got yeah,

364
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:29.559
his videos of him on YouTube. Unfortunately, they're very old

365
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:37.359
videos and they're very not good quality. Also, because he'd

366
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.400
had the when he'd had the polio thing, and he

367
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:46.240
was getting older, he couldn't speak particularly clearly in a

368
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:51.240
way that he used to, so it's not always Perhaps

369
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:55.319
it wouldn't be easy for to hear what he's saying.

370
00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:58.599
I think it's easier if you was in the room

371
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.640
with him, But on a video it does come across

372
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:10.279
very well. So neuro linguistic program in NLP, which I

373
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:17.559
did study in, piggybacked on Ericsson's work. So co founder

374
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.920
Richard Bandler taught rapid inductions that borrowed heavily from Ericsonian's

375
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:28.799
pacing and language patterns. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes true

376
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:33.119
and YEH can't argue on that. One is no secret

377
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:39.240
to that. So it wasn't just I mean NLP. They

378
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:49.519
studied Fritz Pearls, they studied Milton Erickson, they studied who else?

379
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:57.200
Did they study? The family therapists I forget her name,

380
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:03.319
Richard Loveder, the family therapist lady, And so they studied

381
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:07.920
lots of different people, but neuro linguistic programming was very

382
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:13.159
much and they also studied language as well. So yeah,

383
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:21.880
so much of NLP is hypnosis and if you look

384
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.239
at some of the old books which I've got. I've

385
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:26.840
got some and I've had lots. I'd like to get

386
00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:32.840
my library back, my hypnosis library back, because what I

387
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.800
find amazing is you look back and you say, well,

388
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:41.000
it looks like it's new, Like this is an NLP.

389
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:44.280
It's only been around since the late seventies. I mean,

390
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:47.000
it's a long time now, I suppose. But if you

391
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:49.679
go back, that stuff was talked about in the nineteen

392
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:55.119
twenties and nineteen thirties and forties in hypnosis books. The

393
00:34:55.119 --> 00:35:04.920
idea of imagining something like on a screen and change it,

394
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:08.159
rewinding it and taking the color out, and things like

395
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:11.920
that to change a memory or change your reaction to

396
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:19.679
a memory. If this sounds like a lecture, sorry, it's trivia, baby,

397
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:27.000
It's trivia. So it's weird because I kind of realized

398
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:36.599
that I'm still interested in hypnosis. However, I don't want

399
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:41.840
to do hypnosis in the traditional way. I want to

400
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:46.800
I want to do my own thing. Hence the let

401
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:53.480
me boil your pain away, I don't. I don't want

402
00:35:53.519 --> 00:36:00.039
to have that restriction that I felt with hypnosis and

403
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.199
having it structured in that way. I quite like the

404
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:11.199
freedom of going in and out of focusing on a

405
00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:18.079
subject and then talking about flip flops if I want to,

406
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:20.679
or talking about all that's made me feel hungry, that

407
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:25.719
us talking about that and just still being myself, but

408
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:35.440
also having that focus and the suggestions. I don't think

409
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:42.960
we need people need to have super super strong suggestions.

410
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:51.000
In a sense of what Milton Erickson said is you

411
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:54.440
try and get the client or the patient to wrap

412
00:36:54.760 --> 00:37:00.800
their mind around an idea, wrap your mind around an idea,

413
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:04.880
and once that idea, especially if you go from lots

414
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:12.039
of different angles, which I tend to do, it it sticks,

415
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:16.239
something will stick, something will change, and we're constantly changing,

416
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:23.920
and you remember certain things. There might be something in

417
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:28.039
this recording that you might remember which might actually be useful,

418
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:32.239
even though it's just me talking about stuff that you

419
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:39.039
might not find particularly invigorating or interesting, which in a

420
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:42.159
sense you shouldn't be anyway, because it is a boring recording,

421
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:48.320
you know, let me boil you or a sleep. But

422
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:53.079
at the same time it might be useful other than

423
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:56.880
to just to send you off to no Land, notdy Land.

424
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.360
So this is thing that you might have heard of before.

425
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:09.920
Emily Cool's nineteen twenties, mantra became a self hypnosis staple.

426
00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:15.639
And I remember hearing this in Pink Panther movie and

427
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:23.880
it was the Inspector Cluso's boss who just has had

428
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:27.920
enough of Inspector Cluso. But I think it's the second

429
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:31.159
movie and he's back doing his job and he's trying

430
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:34.559
to keep calm, and I think he's looking in the mirror,

431
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:38.199
just repeating every day, in every way, I'm getting better

432
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:42.320
and better. That's the first time I ever heard that.

433
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:46.280
So when I actually read those words and I think

434
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:53.639
I've got Emily COO's books, it made me laugh because

435
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:56.480
I thought, Okay, it was hard to take it seriously

436
00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:59.559
because it was used in their comedy movie, so it

437
00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:04.280
was a it's basically auto suggestion. And he was the

438
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:09.880
first person to kind of really have done that. Charles

439
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:15.079
Dickens moonlighted as a mesmerist. Ooh, I didn't know this,

440
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:19.039
so this might first have I heard of this? Novelists

441
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:24.519
treated So the novelist Charles Dickins treated friends headaches with

442
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:31.159
hypnosis and once hypnotized his wife during a US lecture

443
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:36.079
Taur in eighteen forty two. Wow, I did not know that,

444
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:40.039
but hey, the Master of Words. I guess it would

445
00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:48.559
be Wow. I really didn't know. CIA Project MK Ultra

446
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:54.760
experimented with hypnosis. So declassified files show nineteen fifties efforts

447
00:39:54.800 --> 00:40:00.400
to combine trance with drugs for interrogation and covert missions. Yeah,

448
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.199
that's quite well known. They tried lots of different things, LSD,

449
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.280
all kinds of things to try and get people to

450
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:14.760
do stuff. Hypnotic testimony is usually barred from US courts,

451
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:21.000
so since the nineteen eighties, most states exclude hypnotically refreshed

452
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:28.440
memories as unreliable. I believed it was all because of

453
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:33.639
the false memory issue. So I actually thought that it

454
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:42.000
was never admissible or acceptable in any court of any country,

455
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:49.440
to be fair, But maybe I'm wrong. The UK Hypnotic

456
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:55.280
World Record Day happened online, so British hypnotist Chris Hughes

457
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:59.960
drew over thirty thousand participants to a Facebook trance session

458
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:06.840
on World Hypnotism Day two thy eleven. I was going

459
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:11.599
to try and do the biggest stop smoking Hypnosis Day

460
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:16.320
in two thousand and six, and I went to I

461
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:22.559
did all the advertising for it, okay, and I went

462
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:28.639
to rent out the hall which was where bands would

463
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:35.679
play big old place, and they wanted thouurs and of pounds,

464
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:39.639
so I had to call the whole thing off. And

465
00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:48.400
a fastest induction record claims a seven second handshake. Trance

466
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:56.119
speed hypnotist speed hypnosis specialist Jonathan Royle demonstrates the feet

467
00:41:56.360 --> 00:42:00.800
in a seminar videos. I did some aiming with Jonathan

468
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:13.199
Mile in nineteen ninety ninety five. I think next one

469
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:22.159
is chevrolets. Chevrolets or chevels. Pendulum predates pocket watches. So

470
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:31.079
chemist Michelle Eugene Chevrol eighteen thirty three showed small unconscious

471
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:37.559
muscle twitches can swing a suspended weight. Still taught in

472
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:43.119
hypnosis classes today. So it's a little bit different for

473
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:48.199
you know when people you know the old style, yeah,

474
00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:52.760
you know. She used the word trope where you swing

475
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:55.719
the watch in front of someone's eyes and saying we'll

476
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:59.800
focus on the watch. The march, Yeah, I feel is

477
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:06.320
the eee all that stuff. This was different. This was

478
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:12.639
basically asking your you just speak directly to your unconscious mind.

479
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.840
So you have this thing like a chain with a

480
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:18.920
little weight. Perhaps you could do it with a watch

481
00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:24.159
as well on a chain, and just sometimes you'd have

482
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:29.920
like a piece of paper on the desk with yes

483
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:33.599
and no a little bit wee gee to be fair,

484
00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:36.800
but you know you're not asking the spirits, just asking

485
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:41.960
yourself questions. Or you could just say, well, just switch

486
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:45.360
from side to side for yes and go round for no,

487
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:50.239
and you can ask yourself questions. And because it's you're

488
00:43:50.239 --> 00:44:00.199
not purposefully moving the you're not making any movements on

489
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:06.400
your own, it's micro movements. And the idea is you're

490
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:11.079
asking yourself questions in a sense because you might be

491
00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:13.920
wondering what kind of questions would you ask yourself? Where

492
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:18.719
did I leave the keys? No? Well maybe, but it's more,

493
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:26.519
is it okay? I want to stop doing this particular behavior?

494
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:29.679
Are you?

495
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:32.920
Are you willing for me to stop this? So you

496
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:37.360
could ask your unconscious mind so that you can be congruent.

497
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:41.079
So your conscious mind, your unconscious mind, your whole body,

498
00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:43.559
your mind, your thoughts, your brain, whatever, can all be

499
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:49.400
in sync with what you're wanting to do, and that

500
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:54.239
can have a positive effect. There's other things that we've

501
00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:58.639
done for it as well, but that's a whole recording

502
00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:01.480
on its own. In fact, there's a whole book I've

503
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:06.400
got Mind Body Connection or whatever, and it's a huge book,

504
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:12.360
and it's all about that, and you've got It's not

505
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:18.320
just idiomotor responses, they call it. This is like moving

506
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:21.960
your hand, moving a finger. Let the finger move if

507
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:24.679
it's a yes, or it's a no, or you know.

508
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:29.360
Sometimes like raising your hand up. Just let your hand

509
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:32.960
raise up on its own, but let your unconscious mind

510
00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:37.360
raise it up from your knee, for example, But don't

511
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:40.920
do it consciously. Let your unconscious mind just let it

512
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:44.719
and you talk to your unconscious mind, you know, do

513
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:48.119
let's say the other person. So just moveing that hand

514
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:53.360
up now, bit by bit slowly, but don't do it consciously,

515
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:56.800
and the hand moves, and then you can do something like, well,

516
00:45:57.280 --> 00:45:58.719
what are you going to do is move it up

517
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:02.119
to your face slowly, and when it touches your face

518
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:06.719
you'll become completely relaxed. Or you're gonna let it drop,

519
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:10.679
and when it drops down to your knee again, you'll

520
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:15.320
feel amazing. And you know, stuff like that. It can

521
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:19.440
be used for lots of different things. I fixation inductions

522
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:24.880
at our cinema classics for a reason. Staring at a

523
00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:33.039
fixed point exploits our natural optic fatigue, and was popularized

524
00:46:33.079 --> 00:46:39.760
by a Victorian surgeons. Well, I can't remember who it

525
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:50.079
was with that. There was a story. Was it James Braid?

526
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:54.519
There was I think it was a dentist. I forget

527
00:46:54.519 --> 00:47:01.840
who it was, but he left somebody. Yeah, he said,

528
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:04.480
I just got to go go next door and left

529
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:08.320
the person staring at the light and when he came

530
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:12.599
back in, the patient was gone, like completely zoked out.

531
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:18.239
And then he kind of experimented with it and got

532
00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:20.599
people to focus on a light or on a point

533
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:23.280
on the wall and stuff like that. And that's where

534
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:32.000
that kind of came from, Dear, dear, So that was

535
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:38.280
the eye fixation. It's it causes natural fatigue of your eyes.

536
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:43.000
It's you know, if you just like, okay, staring at

537
00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:47.079
a point on the wall, your eyelids will start to

538
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.239
get heavy and your need to blink. We all need

539
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:54.079
to blink. It's just natural, isn't it. But eventually the

540
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:58.599
more you blink, the more you want to close your eyes.

541
00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:03.000
And I'm feeling that now actually, which will be getting

542
00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:05.880
away a little bit because I can't see through my eyelids.

543
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:10.400
I can see the light through my eyelids, it's a

544
00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:14.360
different level of light because the eyelids are in the way,

545
00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:18.840
but I can't see the screen where all this juicy

546
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:28.519
information is. But it's definitely a way too. And the

547
00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:32.239
weird thing about it is by saying to someone and

548
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:35.159
as you stare at the wall, you'll notice your eyes

549
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:40.000
are getting heavier. Now, that's just going to happen naturally,

550
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:46.599
but it may seem like the hypnotist is almost creating

551
00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:53.119
that with their words, But actually, what else is going

552
00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:55.280
to happen. It's like saying someone, now, I want you

553
00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:59.599
to run around the building ten times and a more.

554
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:01.920
Every time you run around, you're going to get more

555
00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:05.119
and more tired. Like it's going to happen anyway, isn't it.

556
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:16.880
But the Speegel eye roll test predicts trance depth in

557
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:21.199
five seconds rolling the eyes upwards while closing the lids

558
00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:27.480
correctly classified hypnotizability in about seventy four percent of two

559
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:35.079
thousand psychotherapy tests. Places. Now there's a thing where you say,

560
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:41.000
close your eyes and look up. Now, try and open

561
00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:45.239
your eyes. That it's actually impossible to open your eyes

562
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:49.159
when you're looking up with your reballs. So by saying

563
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:51.320
I'm going to ask you in a minute to try

564
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:53.960
and close your eyes while you're looking up, So your

565
00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:57.760
your eyes closed. The longer they're closed, the more stuck

566
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:01.360
they'll be. And you look up with your eyeballs inside

567
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:04.480
your eyes. You're looking up, but you've noticed that your

568
00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:07.760
eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and you're going to

569
00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:09.719
try and open them in a minute. But you notice

570
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:11.639
that the more you try, the harder it is to

571
00:50:11.679 --> 00:50:14.800
open them. Blah blah, all that stuff. But the fact is,

572
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:19.599
if you're looking up, you can't open your eye lids.

573
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:23.800
Why you're looking up? It's actually physically impossible. Oh, they

574
00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:30.000
given the secrets to air. Oh, but part of that,

575
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:34.280
I think it's worth remembering if someone you know, it's

576
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:37.880
it's not so much manipulation a little bit, I suppose,

577
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:43.599
But if someone comes to a hypnotist or hypnotherapist wanting

578
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:51.440
help with something, then there's a degree of expectation that

579
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:55.719
that person may ask them to close their eyes and

580
00:50:56.880 --> 00:51:00.599
do kind of the test to prove that hit nosis

581
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:07.039
exists and they made the right decision by coming to

582
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:12.239
that person. Maybe so it can be useful. Group testing

583
00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:18.239
is possible. Harvard proved so nineteen sixty two. Harvard group

584
00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:23.039
scale let researchers rate dozens of volunteers all at once,

585
00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:30.960
paving away for mass screening studies. I mean group testing

586
00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:37.679
is done at the beginning of a live hypnosis show,

587
00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:42.480
like a stage hypnosis show, where some of the things

588
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:45.360
they do is to get peoples, for example, to put

589
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:51.159
their hands together, and you do certain things and tell

590
00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:53.360
the people you won't be able to hold your hands

591
00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:55.400
will stay stuck together, and you won't be able to

592
00:51:55.440 --> 00:52:00.639
pull them apart, and so everyone is end up and

593
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:03.760
do that, and those that can pull their hands apart

594
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:07.599
sit down, so the remaining people standing up, they're getting

595
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:11.000
to do something else until have done three or four,

596
00:52:11.079 --> 00:52:13.920
maybe five different things, and then you end up with

597
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:23.880
perhaps I don't know, twenty five people or twenty people left,

598
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:28.559
or four maybe I don't know, thirty people left. So

599
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:31.159
they get those thirty people on stage and they do

600
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:34.079
even more stuff, and eventually they win. They whittle it down,

601
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:38.719
so there's fifteen people are very very not just suggestible

602
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:44.960
but also suggestible suggestible, but also willing, and they want

603
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:46.840
to do it, and they want to enjoy themselves and

604
00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:49.559
they want to be part of the show. They don't

605
00:52:49.599 --> 00:52:54.400
want someone going up there who's trying to disprove it

606
00:52:55.079 --> 00:52:58.920
that wants to cause problems. So that's why those shows

607
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:03.079
are so much fun for the audience and for the

608
00:53:03.119 --> 00:53:06.519
participants as well. I guess I've never been to a

609
00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:12.840
show seen on TV. I kind of know the routine

610
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:17.320
of how it's done, but that was like twenty years ago.

611
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:19.639
I learned that and I've read it in books, but

612
00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:23.079
actually did a training course where they went through the

613
00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:28.400
whole the whole thing on how to you know, do

614
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:32.480
the training trained, and how to actually do the whole show,

615
00:53:33.480 --> 00:53:40.519
which was interesting. So science of suggestibility a Stanford scale

616
00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:50.840
remains the gold standard six decades on, and so recent

617
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:57.519
tests have shown that basically the the results they got

618
00:53:57.599 --> 00:54:02.880
six decades ago is still reliable. I did there was

619
00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:08.599
a book on this, and I didn't. I didn't like

620
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:14.719
it very much. It was very Yeah, I don't know,

621
00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:20.400
I just it's kind of sometimes when they do tests

622
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:27.400
testing people for their suggestibility is always a dog bucking almost.

623
00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:30.800
It seems a little bit like when they show a

624
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:34.400
comedy show, they get do a comedy screen into people

625
00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:41.119
that don't seem to like humor or you know, so

626
00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:46.559
this just choose the audience a bit more wisely. Sometimes

627
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:54.039
maybe genes meta according to this, a comt polymorphism tracks

628
00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:59.880
with hypnotizability. I didn't understand half of those words. Variantstead

629
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:06.480
influenced dopamine in the prefuntal core cortex partly explains why

630
00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:11.440
some people go deeper than others. Okay, so that's the science.

631
00:55:12.480 --> 00:55:18.280
Thea brain weighs rise in trance. EEG studies link hypnosis

632
00:55:18.320 --> 00:55:24.960
to increase theater and cheapbump altered gamma patterns tied to focus,

633
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:31.599
attention and imagery. So ultimately, the stuff's going on in

634
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:36.320
the brain, isn't it. That's what I take from that

635
00:55:36.360 --> 00:55:45.039
as my scientific opinion. That's my doctoral prognosis. Functional MRI

636
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:51.239
pinpoints of dorsal anterior circulate singulate. Wow, there's a lot

637
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:56.480
of very big words here during hypnotic analgesia. That's something

638
00:55:56.519 --> 00:56:00.800
I'm interested in, this pain process, in how quiets while

639
00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:09.199
century areas keep working. So basically the danger signals become

640
00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:15.719
safe signals, because that's all. Basically, pain is a danger signal,

641
00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:24.760
and when it's no longer experience that is danger. But

642
00:56:24.840 --> 00:56:31.719
as being safe, there's no problem. There's this person will

643
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:37.400
just be relaxed and not be bothered. Hypnosis can restructure

644
00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:43.079
neural connectivity. So reviews show changes in default mode and

645
00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:51.440
salience networks, hinting at neuroplastic benefits beyond placebo. Now, salience

646
00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:55.119
is a word that I haven't used before, So I'm

647
00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:57.800
going to look that up. I kind of know what

648
00:56:57.840 --> 00:56:59.360
it means, I think, but I'm going to look it

649
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:07.559
up anyway, ask co pilots. Salient come On, explains the

650
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:13.239
following texts. In the context of hypnosis, salience refers to

651
00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:19.119
the brain's ability to prioritize certain stimuli over others, determining

652
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:24.239
what stands out in a given moment. The surrounding page

653
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:30.119
content discusses how hypnosis interacts with the brain's salience network,

654
00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:37.880
which is responsible for filtering information and focusing attention. Research

655
00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:43.840
suggests that hypnosis can restructure neural connectivity, influencing the default

656
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:49.679
mode and salience networks. So, yeah, I hope that made

657
00:57:49.719 --> 00:57:57.679
sense to someone. I'm very interested in neuroplasticity because the idea,

658
00:57:58.079 --> 00:58:00.199
there was an idea, you know, years and years ago. Go,

659
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:05.559
I remember when I was growing up, and you know,

660
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:08.239
you're fixed. This is your brain, this is what it is,

661
00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:13.360
and you know you can't teach old dogs new tricks.

662
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:21.000
All those cliches when actually the brain isn't fixed, and

663
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:27.039
our brains are changing. The chemistry is changing, the neural

664
00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:32.239
networks are changing all the time. The change mine are changing.

665
00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:36.280
Now today while I'm doing this, I'm learning new things,

666
00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:41.360
and I realized this isn't I'm not doing this in

667
00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:45.679
order for me to learn new things, but I am anyway,

668
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:51.800
and it's changing. So the newer plasticity is happening. And

669
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:59.840
sometimes you can hear enough times you know the actually

670
00:59:01.679 --> 00:59:07.960
you can relax, and relaxing is easy, and falling asleep

671
00:59:08.079 --> 00:59:14.559
is easy, and turning that danger signal to safe can

672
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:21.119
happen or instantly, and sometimes just by hearing it enough times,

673
00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:27.599
you start to realize it's true, and you start to

674
00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:35.239
realize that actually relaxing is easy, and you perhaps weren't

675
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:40.679
aware before just how easily you can let go of

676
00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:44.599
everything and feel calm throughout your body and your mind,

677
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:52.599
and maybe even experience pleasure, physical pleasure and emotional pleasure.

678
00:59:56.559 --> 01:00:01.960
So you know, it's interesting stuff now. Or placebo and

679
01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:08.280
hot hypnosis overlap but differ, so both modulate pain, both

680
01:00:08.360 --> 01:00:12.679
modulate pain. Yet f m RI, F m RI, I

681
01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:15.920
don't know, I know what MRI is. I don't know

682
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:20.039
what f m R I shows. Placebo leans on limbic

683
01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:30.480
opiated Placebo leans on limbic opioid circuits, whereas hypnosis recruits

684
01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:38.440
occipital and basal ganglia pathways. I understand that I understood

685
01:00:38.480 --> 01:00:44.880
the word both in that sentence and whereas recruits that's

686
01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:48.039
a very big lot of words in that that sentence.

687
01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:53.880
That it was a big word. I can interpret it though. Hmm,

688
01:00:55.159 --> 01:01:00.159
so Placebo. There was this study, it's a fame a

689
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:07.559
study where this man was. It was in America and

690
01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:14.280
he had a very serious condition which was, you know,

691
01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:19.719
as serious as I can yet, and he saw on

692
01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:24.400
the TV, on the news that there was this new

693
01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:31.079
wonder drug that could be a cure for what he had,

694
01:01:33.239 --> 01:01:37.320
and he asked, he asked the doctors and said, can

695
01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:41.079
you just can you put me on this medication? You

696
01:01:41.119 --> 01:01:43.800
know that it just can you just test me, test

697
01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:46.119
me with it? And they said, well, it's not really

698
01:01:47.039 --> 01:01:49.159
you know, we do need you know, it's not ready

699
01:01:49.159 --> 01:01:52.320
for the public, but we do need people to do

700
01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:54.880
some research with. So they allowed him to do it

701
01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:59.760
because there was there's nothing to lose, really, and and

702
01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:02.239
he happy to be I don't want to say the

703
01:02:02.280 --> 01:02:04.480
word guinea pig, but you know, it was happy to

704
01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:09.000
be to be a test a part of the test

705
01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:15.159
pilot thing. It wasn't a pilot. It wasn't a test

706
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:18.320
pilot all. I don't know why I said that. Anyway,

707
01:02:19.039 --> 01:02:22.000
he might have been a test pilot, but he was

708
01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:26.079
at that point he wasn't. He was in hospital and

709
01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:32.599
he had this medication and it worked completely cleared up

710
01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:39.159
all his ailments, cleared up everything, His body reversed, kind

711
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:43.679
of went back to normal. You know, I don't want

712
01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:45.880
to go into details, but everything kind of went back

713
01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:50.239
to how it was, and it was a magic It

714
01:02:50.280 --> 01:02:54.760
was like a magic cure. He was still in hospital

715
01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:58.119
because he was like you know, he was just hadn't treatments,

716
01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:01.559
ready to leave, and as he was ready to leave,

717
01:03:01.760 --> 01:03:06.840
he was like thanking the nurses on the news came like, oh,

718
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:14.559
it doesn't work. After all, they've done the studies and

719
01:03:14.639 --> 01:03:23.519
most of the people didn't have any any use He

720
01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:27.239
went home and he was back in hospital within a week.

721
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:34.360
So what he got from that medication, which wasn't actually

722
01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:39.360
of any good, it wasn't useful, It wasn't it didn't

723
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:42.039
do the trick, but it did have a placebo effect

724
01:03:42.119 --> 01:03:44.719
on him. But as soon as he realized it was

725
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:54.719
a placebo, he yeah, it no longer had that effect.

726
01:03:55.400 --> 01:04:00.440
But they've also the placebo this. It's amazing amount of

727
01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:04.199
people that get tested with medication and the people with

728
01:04:04.280 --> 01:04:07.760
the policied that the cibo I often have just as

729
01:04:07.800 --> 01:04:10.599
much benefits as the ones so they get a sugar

730
01:04:10.599 --> 01:04:13.039
pill instead of the actual real pill, they have just

731
01:04:13.079 --> 01:04:16.039
as much benefit as the person with the real medication.

732
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:22.719
Phenomenal belief is I mean, you know I talked about

733
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:26.480
recently when I was working in a chip shop and

734
01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:31.440
the I went to my boss's house. We had like

735
01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:36.400
this party and they gave me alcohol free beer. I

736
01:04:36.440 --> 01:04:38.559
didn't realize it was alcohol three They were giving it

737
01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:42.119
to me in a glass and I was drunk, genuinely

738
01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:45.360
drunk until the end of the night when they all

739
01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:49.760
decided to laugh at me and tell me showed me

740
01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:52.519
all the cans that had been pouring in there. Everyone

741
01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:54.239
else had been on alcohol. I'd be the only one

742
01:04:54.239 --> 01:04:58.880
that was alcohol free, and I sobered up pretty quickly,

743
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:05.920
and that's something I always remember. I've remembered up till

744
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:08.760
now because I'm talking about it, don't I And I

745
01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:12.719
was what sixteen at the time, and it was something

746
01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:16.519
that I remember because it was apart from the fact

747
01:05:16.519 --> 01:05:21.119
that it was humiliating, it was also interesting from a

748
01:05:21.159 --> 01:05:29.280
psychological perspective because I really believed that I was drinking

749
01:05:29.559 --> 01:05:37.000
alcohol and I'd had probably four pints, five pints, which

750
01:05:37.320 --> 01:05:41.000
I knew would make me drunk. Back then, probably two

751
01:05:41.519 --> 01:05:47.280
or three pints would get me drunk. Yeah, And that

752
01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:51.280
stayed with me. That did. The rubber hand illusion gets

753
01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:57.400
stronger under trance, so highly hypnotizable. Volunteers reported greater ownership

754
01:05:57.800 --> 01:06:04.760
of a fake limb suggest in suggesting suggestion can hack

755
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:12.960
body maps? I'm not sure what that means, Harley am

756
01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:18.159
to report ownership of a fake limb. There is a

757
01:06:18.199 --> 01:06:22.719
way to actually, there's this it's probably not the same thing,

758
01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:32.079
but there's this technique where let's say someone's got pain

759
01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:38.159
in one hand. So what they do is, let's say

760
01:06:38.159 --> 01:06:41.480
it's in the right hand and left hand's fine. So

761
01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:45.639
what do they get a mirror so you can see

762
01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:48.480
the left hand in the mirror, So the mirrors opposite

763
01:06:48.519 --> 01:06:53.880
the left hand, and the person starts moving the hand,

764
01:06:56.119 --> 01:07:01.000
so and they would poke that someone else would like

765
01:07:01.039 --> 01:07:04.440
poke into the left hand with like not a needle,

766
01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:07.239
but like a little stick or something, and they realized

767
01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:13.840
that the hand's fine. There's no absolutely fine, and they

768
01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:17.239
do that. Not for some people also that had maybe

769
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:24.119
a missing limb. It's an amputee, it maybe had you know,

770
01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:27.639
phantom still a terrible phrase, but they call it phantom

771
01:07:27.679 --> 01:07:35.360
limb pain and the pain of go because the brain

772
01:07:35.719 --> 01:07:38.119
had been I don't want to say tricked, but the

773
01:07:38.199 --> 01:07:42.400
brain had sort of seen things in a way that

774
01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:48.639
kind of made sense, you know. So yeah, that's something

775
01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:50.960
that could be done. But I don't think that's what

776
01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:53.760
they're talking about the robber hand though. I suppose if

777
01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:56.239
someone's in a deep trance and you say, Okay, this

778
01:07:56.400 --> 01:08:00.960
hand is your hand, and yeah, mess around with that.

779
01:08:01.639 --> 01:08:07.159
Catalepsy isn't just a stage gag. So A twenty twenty

780
01:08:07.159 --> 01:08:13.960
four pilot cut functional neurological disorder symptoms after eight hypnosis

781
01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:23.880
catalepsy sessions. I don't know anything about this, so I'm

782
01:08:23.880 --> 01:08:29.920
going to look this up. This is the first I've

783
01:08:29.920 --> 01:08:34.560
heard of this anyone, anyone. This might be the longest

784
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:36.720
recording I ever do, because I'm only at number twenty eight.

785
01:08:38.039 --> 01:08:42.239
So okay. A twenty twenty four pilot study explored the

786
01:08:42.239 --> 01:08:48.399
effects of hypnosis combined with catalepsy. So catalypsy is pretty

787
01:08:48.479 --> 01:08:50.760
much where you just kind of I mean, you can

788
01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:55.720
have someone cataleptic where the arm is just sticking out

789
01:08:55.760 --> 01:08:58.319
and it won't it won't budge, it just stays there.

790
01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:05.159
And if you remember, remember the Robert de Niro movie

791
01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:11.039
and Robin Williams Awake Awakening I think it was called,

792
01:09:11.520 --> 01:09:16.239
And Robert de Niro was in a cataleptic state where

793
01:09:16.239 --> 01:09:22.159
he just sat there and Robin Williams found a cure

794
01:09:23.039 --> 01:09:24.800
before he found a cure, and he gave it to

795
01:09:25.520 --> 01:09:29.600
Robert de Niro, and we chucked the ball, and Robert

796
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:34.800
Denier had caught the ball. So a study used a

797
01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:39.920
waiting list control design with forty six patients diagnosed with

798
01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:46.800
FND functional neurological disorder. I don't know really much about that.

799
01:09:47.159 --> 01:09:54.079
Participants underwent eight hypnosis catalepsy sessions, which resulted in a

800
01:09:54.119 --> 01:10:01.319
significant reduction in the symptoms. For severity, the study measured

801
01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:12.000
symptoms verity use in the psychogenetic movement disorder blah blah blah. Okay,

802
01:10:12.439 --> 01:10:14.640
so that's it. As there's there's more to that, but

803
01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:16.319
I just thought I just looked that up because I'd

804
01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:23.199
never heard of that one before. Hypnosis can tweak immune

805
01:10:23.560 --> 01:10:29.199
cells so highly susceptible subjects show measurable shifts in B

806
01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:37.800
cell and helper T counts after a single session. There

807
01:10:37.880 --> 01:10:46.920
is a technique for certain disorders where this is going

808
01:10:46.960 --> 01:10:51.439
back years where they would imagine like a pac Man,

809
01:10:51.720 --> 01:10:54.920
you know the old Atari were they Atari, but they

810
01:10:54.920 --> 01:11:00.840
were like computer games pac Man eating the sets the

811
01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:05.560
bad cells or the cells that they didn't want in

812
01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:08.319
their body. And imagine the pack man going around and

813
01:11:08.359 --> 01:11:16.439
eating those and it helped with recovery and helped with

814
01:11:17.119 --> 01:11:20.680
the treatment that was being given to some of those individuals.

815
01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:25.319
There's a lot more to that I've never read. I

816
01:11:25.399 --> 01:11:28.479
don't think I've ever read a book specifically on that subject,

817
01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:36.800
but it is fascinating. I think co O M C

818
01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:47.680
O M T isn't the only gene what O O

819
01:11:47.880 --> 01:11:51.920
p r M one variates variants also linked to trance

820
01:11:52.000 --> 01:11:59.640
and pain. High hypnotizables often have an opioid receptor that

821
01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:06.920
blows drug analgesia hinting. Hypnosis using uses non opioid roots

822
01:12:09.119 --> 01:12:13.479
because that's the thing, isn't it Like we take medication

823
01:12:13.640 --> 01:12:19.119
and that it's still the brain that's doing the work.

824
01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:23.239
It just activates those parts of the brain that then

825
01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:27.720
gives those feelings or causes that healing to take place

826
01:12:27.840 --> 01:12:33.159
or inflammation to reduce and all that stuff. So it's

827
01:12:33.199 --> 01:12:42.319
not the actual hypnosis can trigger those same receptors, but

828
01:12:42.520 --> 01:12:48.359
through non drug routes, so manages to push those buttons,

829
01:12:48.640 --> 01:12:52.600
but without the same buttons that maybe I don't know,

830
01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:59.560
painkillers would press, but without the painkillers, without the medication,

831
01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:03.319
so it's a different route, but can still press those buttons,

832
01:13:03.399 --> 01:13:09.000
which causes the danger signal to turn into a safe signal.

833
01:13:10.359 --> 01:13:20.319
High suggestibility correlates with vivid imagery and absorption, So psychometric

834
01:13:20.439 --> 01:13:32.520
studies place hypnotizability alongside flow, daydreaming, and creative immersion traits.

835
01:13:32.720 --> 01:13:38.640
So flow. There's a really famous book called called Flow.

836
01:13:38.760 --> 01:13:44.159
By doing my sh check for Seve. It's very, very long.

837
01:13:44.760 --> 01:13:47.640
I think it's a Russian name, very long name. I

838
01:13:47.720 --> 01:13:52.680
can't pronounce it, and it's all about being in the moment,

839
01:13:52.840 --> 01:13:57.119
being in I'd be like me now, I'm very into

840
01:13:57.159 --> 01:14:01.720
what I'm doing right now, to the very focused on

841
01:14:01.840 --> 01:14:08.119
this and nothing else really, although I may be scratching

842
01:14:08.239 --> 01:14:10.680
my crotch at some point because there's a bit of

843
01:14:10.720 --> 01:14:14.279
a niche. I think the fleas all come back. So

844
01:14:14.319 --> 01:14:21.680
you've got daydreams another one, and it's a hypnosis daydreaming.

845
01:14:23.239 --> 01:14:29.119
It's kind of the same ballpark in a sense of imagination,

846
01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:35.039
focusing on something. And you know, if we daydream on

847
01:14:35.680 --> 01:14:42.439
feeling good and daydream about how nice it is to

848
01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:46.960
just relax, and you know, daydream and remembering times when

849
01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:52.920
you were relaxed, just start to become more relaxed. Hypnosis

850
01:14:53.039 --> 01:15:00.840
taps top down attention, not sleep. So sure what that means.

851
01:15:01.399 --> 01:15:06.840
Modern non state theories view trance as an agreed role

852
01:15:07.319 --> 01:15:15.079
that sharpens focus rather than induces unconsciousness. But it also

853
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:23.119
causes deep, deep relaxation, and deep deep relaxation can also

854
01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:29.640
lead to fallen asleep. So you know, there's quite a

855
01:15:29.680 --> 01:15:33.640
few people in the hypnosis world that would be very

856
01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:39.800
against the idea of hypnosis for sleep. But what hypnosis does.

857
01:15:42.840 --> 01:15:46.680
It causes you can have focus, but also causes can

858
01:15:46.760 --> 01:15:56.119
cause deep deep relaxation and falling asleep. Is ninety nine

859
01:15:56.279 --> 01:16:01.119
point nine point nine point nine point nine percent relaxation

860
01:16:02.800 --> 01:16:06.279
feeling calm, letting go, how your body relax your mind

861
01:16:06.399 --> 01:16:12.399
slows down, all that stuff. Maybe your mind wanders, that's

862
01:16:12.479 --> 01:16:21.039
part of relaxation, maybe daydreaming. So that's different from when

863
01:16:21.039 --> 01:16:29.199
you're focusing on something particular. You're not necessarily going to

864
01:16:29.279 --> 01:16:38.920
fall asleep during that situation. But when you're relaxed and

865
01:16:38.960 --> 01:16:43.000
you're feeling completely loose and floppy and all that stuff,

866
01:16:43.880 --> 01:16:50.000
then that's all really just leads to sleeping. So it's

867
01:16:50.039 --> 01:16:55.439
not really so much you know you will fall asleep.

868
01:16:55.600 --> 01:16:58.000
You must fall asleep. When I say this, you will

869
01:16:58.039 --> 01:17:03.159
fall asleep. That's not really really how well. I've never

870
01:17:03.279 --> 01:17:08.760
really operated in that way. It's about relaxing, and the

871
01:17:08.760 --> 01:17:15.359
more you relax, you just naturally if falling asleep is

872
01:17:15.359 --> 01:17:20.880
the right thing, and that's what will happen. And also

873
01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:25.239
in the same way as if you wanted to keep

874
01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:31.479
awake by keeping your mind busy, that that's a way

875
01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:35.520
to keep awake, isn't it. So if our minds are busy,

876
01:17:35.520 --> 01:17:39.279
and when we want to go to sleep, we calm

877
01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:45.319
the mind down and let go of stuff, let go

878
01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:51.239
of things, and when you focus, so use your focus.

879
01:17:51.279 --> 01:17:55.079
But if you start focusing on the different parts of

880
01:17:55.119 --> 01:17:59.319
your body. Your mind starts to get bored with that,

881
01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:08.119
which means your mind starts to slow down. And when

882
01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:10.399
you're focusing on your hands and then you're on your

883
01:18:10.479 --> 01:18:14.479
knees and on your hips and your shoulders and your eyes,

884
01:18:16.199 --> 01:18:21.359
or maybe you're focusing on my words for example, or

885
01:18:21.399 --> 01:18:25.279
some information that you've got no interest in it in

886
01:18:25.399 --> 01:18:30.199
like you know, hypnosis, even though it's something that for

887
01:18:30.239 --> 01:18:34.479
some reason I'm interested in, you may just find it

888
01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:40.960
completely boring and be of no relevance or interest to

889
01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:45.880
you whatsoever. I might as well be talking about my

890
01:18:46.039 --> 01:18:51.159
underpinning collection that I've been collected since I was five.

891
01:18:55.000 --> 01:19:06.600
Hypnosis amplifies memory and help to recall stuff, and so yeah,

892
01:19:07.199 --> 01:19:15.760
hypnotic depth and placebo responsiveness partially overlap. So some scientists

893
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:24.680
brand the intersection hypnobob or hypnobo hypnobo, suggesting ethical hypnosis

894
01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:35.760
may harvest placebo like benefits without deception. And yes, I

895
01:19:35.800 --> 01:19:41.279
mean it has been said that hypnosis might literally just

896
01:19:41.439 --> 01:19:49.800
be placebo in a sense of belief is so powerful

897
01:19:51.159 --> 01:19:55.079
and when you believe that, and also it's not just belief,

898
01:19:55.680 --> 01:20:00.840
it's based on previous experience. So there's a people that

899
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:04.279
have listened to me before. Who know that when you

900
01:20:04.399 --> 01:20:07.319
listen to me, at the very least, you're going to

901
01:20:07.359 --> 01:20:11.880
feel relaxed. You're going to feel calm, Your mind will

902
01:20:11.920 --> 01:20:16.119
slow down, your body will relax, and you know, maybe

903
01:20:16.279 --> 01:20:19.600
do you fall asleep. When you listen to me. You

904
01:20:19.640 --> 01:20:31.039
feel better, You feel calmer, the stress is released, which

905
01:20:31.119 --> 01:20:34.159
means when you listen to me again tomorrow, do a

906
01:20:34.199 --> 01:20:41.439
different recording, you'll listen with that expectation, with that belief

907
01:20:41.560 --> 01:20:52.399
system built on previous experience of feeling relaxed, feeling calm,

908
01:20:52.439 --> 01:21:00.359
feeling peaceful, and maybe even experiencing a world in a

909
01:21:00.560 --> 01:21:06.000
nicer way and feeling more positive during the day as well,

910
01:21:08.800 --> 01:21:19.720
they're sleeping more easily. Elite athletes use trance for recovery.

911
01:21:20.760 --> 01:21:28.840
So hypnotic scripts speed muscle relaxation, improve imagery rehearsal, and

912
01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:37.039
cut perceived exertion and controlled trials. Improved imagery rehearsal is

913
01:21:37.079 --> 01:21:41.319
definitely something that's been used for years. I've got books

914
01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:48.920
on helping people with golf, I think tennis, and they

915
01:21:49.079 --> 01:21:52.000
discovered so I say they, but it's been discovered that

916
01:21:53.359 --> 01:21:58.960
with trials that they've got someone that actually practices. For example,

917
01:21:59.119 --> 01:22:04.359
hitting a golf ball. Someone that practices physically and someone

918
01:22:04.399 --> 01:22:07.880
that practices in their imagination, in their mind, and a

919
01:22:07.960 --> 01:22:10.840
person that practices in their mind can have just as

920
01:22:10.920 --> 01:22:15.319
much benefit as a person who practices physically and a

921
01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:18.760
person who doesn't practice at all. Against someone that practices

922
01:22:18.760 --> 01:22:22.560
in their mind is worse off than the one that

923
01:22:22.600 --> 01:22:26.039
practices in their mind, performs better than the one that

924
01:22:26.119 --> 01:22:31.000
doesn't practice at all and doesn't practice in their mind either.

925
01:22:31.720 --> 01:22:39.720
So it's quite again down to belief, again, down to expectation.

926
01:22:40.880 --> 01:22:52.960
And someone would call that I suppose placebo. I don't know. Hypnosis,

927
01:22:53.119 --> 01:22:58.399
hypnotic suggestions can lower skin temperature, could also he touch

928
01:22:58.479 --> 01:23:03.039
skin temperature? It can They've done they've done research, they've

929
01:23:03.079 --> 01:23:09.039
done thermometers, And that's part of the bio is it

930
01:23:09.159 --> 01:23:16.039
biofeedback biofeedback thing where you can also reduce your pulse rate.

931
01:23:17.039 --> 01:23:22.119
You can reduce your temperature by imagining an ice cube

932
01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:26.119
resting on the back of your hand or on the

933
01:23:26.159 --> 01:23:29.920
palm of your hand will reduce the temperature of the

934
01:23:29.960 --> 01:23:33.920
palm of your hand. The more you focus, the more

935
01:23:33.960 --> 01:23:44.439
you just imagine it's there, and you can imagine. You

936
01:23:44.479 --> 01:23:51.439
can turn down the speed of your pulse or even

937
01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:54.680
I think blood pressure. You know, there's all kinds of

938
01:23:54.680 --> 01:24:04.399
things that they've tested on. Genetics, attention, style, and expectation

939
01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:10.000
explain about half of hypnotic variability. The rest remains a

940
01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:23.479
fertile mystery for cognitive neuroscience. I unstudy words individually. Ah oh, yesterday,

941
01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:30.039
I helped this neighbor cut some weeds from using one

942
01:24:30.119 --> 01:24:33.239
as fly moods, and I seem to have damaged my

943
01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:38.039
left bicep. It's weird. It's strange because I do wait

944
01:24:38.239 --> 01:24:41.840
quite regularly, but I must have used the arm in

945
01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:43.520
a different way.

946
01:24:44.159 --> 01:24:54.399
It's weird.

947
01:24:55.359 --> 01:25:00.560
It's A twenty nineteen review of experimental pain trials found

948
01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:12.600
hypnosis consistently outperformed no treatment controls okay, hypno birth and

949
01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:16.840
eases labor. So this is it's not new, but it's

950
01:25:16.880 --> 01:25:23.479
a relatively new thing. Hypno birth, in which basically you

951
01:25:23.520 --> 01:25:31.840
go through you rehearse before the the birth, you rehearse

952
01:25:31.960 --> 01:25:37.159
going through the whole thing, and generally people seem to

953
01:25:37.600 --> 01:25:41.039
have a shorter The whole thing seems to be fair

954
01:25:41.239 --> 01:25:51.960
shorter and needing less analgesia and also calmer parents. You've

955
01:25:51.960 --> 01:25:57.640
also got other things like hypno what do they call

956
01:25:57.760 --> 01:26:07.640
that weight loss thing, like hypnotic versions of those so

957
01:26:07.680 --> 01:26:11.920
instead of actually having the bloom put into your stomach,

958
01:26:12.039 --> 01:26:17.600
that actually they hypnotize as hypnosis, where you kind of

959
01:26:17.840 --> 01:26:26.840
imagine going through the process of having that done and

960
01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:30.079
then the you know, I've got some books on that

961
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:33.680
as well, going on about how that would you know,

962
01:26:34.319 --> 01:26:40.159
reduce appetite for those that needed to lose weight, and

963
01:26:40.760 --> 01:26:53.600
apparently it's very very helpful and useful. So yeah, there's

964
01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:57.079
a lot more here, but I think I've talked for

965
01:26:57.279 --> 01:27:06.159
way too much, man, So I got through about forty

966
01:27:06.840 --> 01:27:11.119
I think nearly yeah, about forty different ones out of

967
01:27:11.119 --> 01:27:13.199
one hundred that came up. I'm just gonna have a

968
01:27:13.239 --> 01:27:16.760
quick look if there's anything that's going to shoot out

969
01:27:16.840 --> 01:27:21.199
at me, that might be a virtual gastric band. So

970
01:27:21.239 --> 01:27:28.600
that's the one I was thinking about. Hypnosis melts, minopause

971
01:27:28.680 --> 01:27:40.560
or hot flushes even in men, and ninety four percent reduction, Ah,

972
01:27:41.159 --> 01:27:42.079
ninety four.

973
01:27:44.199 --> 01:27:56.760
Okay, So yeah, helps with phobias, helps.

974
01:27:56.479 --> 01:28:15.560
With so many things. Wow, wow, Okay, something I won't

975
01:28:15.640 --> 01:28:25.920
so it's just interesting, blimey. So yeah, there's a lot here.

976
01:28:26.239 --> 01:28:32.039
So much. Guy did hypnosis apps form a four hundred

977
01:28:32.039 --> 01:28:37.079
and eighty one million market in twenty twenty four, projected

978
01:28:37.079 --> 01:28:44.479
to double buy twenty thirty one. Where's more money? Well,

979
01:28:44.600 --> 01:28:48.840
I'm in the wrong game. Wait a minute, guy did

980
01:28:48.920 --> 01:28:59.039
hypnosis apps. There's a lot of famous people also that

981
01:28:59.119 --> 01:29:03.479
have had hypnosis that would have been probably more maybe

982
01:29:03.560 --> 01:29:10.479
more interesting for you to listen to if I was

983
01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:14.159
maybe talking about well, I'll be interested for me as well,

984
01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:20.159
talking about famous people that have had hypnosis to help

985
01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:31.800
with various different things. Chicken hypnosis is really tonic immobility,

986
01:29:32.399 --> 01:29:34.720
So draw a line from a beak outwards and a

987
01:29:34.760 --> 01:29:39.359
bird may freeze up to thirty minutes, described in sixteen

988
01:29:39.439 --> 01:29:46.520
forty six. So it's not it's not hypnosis, it's just

989
01:29:48.520 --> 01:29:52.279
something else. Sharks can be flipped into a trance like

990
01:29:52.319 --> 01:30:00.600
state too. Orcas exploit tonic immobility by inverting great whites. Okay,

991
01:30:00.640 --> 01:30:10.520
before having a snack Wow, Snake charmers aren't hypnotizing cobras.

992
01:30:10.560 --> 01:30:29.319
The snake's track, the flutes, notion motion, not the music. Okay, okay.

993
01:30:29.680 --> 01:30:36.119
The largest mindfulness session lesson record one hundred and seventeen

994
01:30:36.199 --> 01:30:42.680
people hints at a at a mess. Trance logistics, though

995
01:30:42.680 --> 01:30:46.119
it wasn't technically hypnosis, So that was a Guinness World

996
01:30:46.159 --> 01:30:53.119
Record in mindfulness is more what it's meditation rather than

997
01:30:53.560 --> 01:31:01.319
it's kind of in the middle. Really yeah, yeah, I'm

998
01:31:01.359 --> 01:31:06.279
just looking at this fast food as fast food ads

999
01:31:06.319 --> 01:31:11.640
sometimes hide ericsonian embedded commands. The technique lifted straight from

1000
01:31:11.720 --> 01:31:17.800
therapy handbooks. Yeah. The first people to use hypnosis really

1001
01:31:19.680 --> 01:31:26.039
like properly make use of hypnotic language was advertisers, especially

1002
01:31:26.039 --> 01:31:31.159
on radio and then television, in order to get people

1003
01:31:31.199 --> 01:31:39.239
to buy stuff. It's the language the the that's where psychology,

1004
01:31:40.880 --> 01:31:43.840
like the cutting edge psychology is used the most, and

1005
01:31:43.880 --> 01:31:51.479
that's in advertising, not just advertising, but also TV shows

1006
01:31:51.479 --> 01:31:56.920
as well to get people to watch. So, yeah, it's

1007
01:31:58.680 --> 01:32:03.600
it's worth knowing that stuff. I think it's very very

1008
01:32:03.760 --> 01:32:15.840
very interesting. Apparently, prestigious medical schools such as Harvard, Stanford,

1009
01:32:16.399 --> 01:32:31.439
UCL now offer elective hypnosis training. In the fifties, there

1010
01:32:31.520 --> 01:32:41.600
was a famous hypnotist forget his name now, it is terrible,

1011
01:32:41.640 --> 01:32:46.960
isn't it, But he used to specifically teach doctors and

1012
01:32:47.119 --> 01:32:54.920
dentists and surgeons hypnosis. Never told Elman, David Elman, he

1013
01:32:55.239 --> 01:32:59.039
never taught. He had a book that was green. He

1014
01:32:59.079 --> 01:33:01.960
wrote a book. I also used to have his audio

1015
01:33:02.000 --> 01:33:07.439
tapes as well, but I don't have them anymore. It'd

1016
01:33:07.439 --> 01:33:14.359
only teached doctors, wouldn't teach the public dentists and doctors

1017
01:33:14.399 --> 01:33:20.159
so that they could dentists especially really, but also to

1018
01:33:20.199 --> 01:33:24.960
help calm patients down and things like that. So yeah,

1019
01:33:25.000 --> 01:33:31.000
and he used to do much quicker chances, Yeah, quite

1020
01:33:31.119 --> 01:33:35.000
quick hypnosis because there wasn't time for long drawn out stuff,

1021
01:33:36.640 --> 01:33:40.960
you know, because patients maybe only get like fifteen minutes

1022
01:33:41.039 --> 01:33:44.439
or twenty minutes or whatever back then, maybe half an hour.

1023
01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:54.159
This was the fifties, fifties and sixties, maybe the forties, fifties,

1024
01:33:55.720 --> 01:33:59.920
probably fifties and sixties. I'd say Dave Ellman because he

1025
01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:06.159
used to be a radio presenter as well. I think

1026
01:34:06.159 --> 01:34:09.720
he had some kind of radio show about hobbies and

1027
01:34:09.960 --> 01:34:13.039
somebody came in to talk about the hobby, but their

1028
01:34:13.039 --> 01:34:21.159
hobby was hypnosis, and I think the person came in

1029
01:34:21.199 --> 01:34:26.600
and did and hypnotized someone on the radio, which it

1030
01:34:26.680 --> 01:34:29.239
probably didn't work. It's about the same as doing eventually

1031
01:34:29.279 --> 01:34:33.239
christ act. Isn't it on the radio? But he became

1032
01:34:33.600 --> 01:34:38.159
think fascinated and went to see this person on stage

1033
01:34:38.720 --> 01:34:41.000
when to see his training or whatever. I don't know,

1034
01:34:42.000 --> 01:34:49.479
and then got into hypnosis himself. Oh well, that's my

1035
01:34:49.560 --> 01:34:56.399
little memory of him. So I'm going to go. So

1036
01:34:56.560 --> 01:34:59.439
thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself

1037
01:34:59.479 --> 01:35:03.560
because you do you deserve to be happy. Be gentle

1038
01:35:03.600 --> 01:35:08.359
with yourself because you do deserve to feel safe. Lots

1039
01:35:08.359 --> 01:35:29.520
of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and meaningful way,

1040
01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:37.079
Maybe in a way that can not just allow you

1041
01:35:37.520 --> 01:35:47.560
to feel calmer now and throughout the time we've spend

1042
01:35:47.600 --> 01:35:55.600
together here, not just relaxed at the end of the

1043
01:35:55.680 --> 01:36:00.159
recording when it's finished and you can enjoy it that

1044
01:36:00.600 --> 01:36:17.520
sense of comfort and peace, but also I think it

1045
01:36:17.520 --> 01:36:33.319
would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation continue

1046
01:36:33.600 --> 01:36:45.399
for longer after the recording has ended, so that you

1047
01:36:45.520 --> 01:36:57.920
can still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe in

1048
01:36:57.960 --> 01:37:10.600
a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly,

1049
01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:18.319
especially if you find, like some people do and myself

1050
01:37:18.359 --> 01:37:22.920
as well. I sometimes I find one particular recording that

1051
01:37:23.119 --> 01:37:31.840
really resonates with me, and I just listen to it

1052
01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:44.760
over and over again every morning, every evening. There was

1053
01:37:44.760 --> 01:37:51.159
this recording from We're going back to about nineteen ninety nine.

1054
01:37:52.199 --> 01:37:57.520
It was it wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations.

1055
01:37:57.640 --> 01:38:04.640
It kind of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to

1056
01:38:04.720 --> 01:38:08.199
find it again and it still has the same effect

1057
01:38:08.720 --> 01:38:20.359
on me. And part of it was the person's voice

1058
01:38:20.760 --> 01:38:30.920
relaxed me just felt so peaceful, and I'd look forward

1059
01:38:31.399 --> 01:38:39.000
to listening to her in the morning and in the evening.

1060
01:38:44.520 --> 01:38:53.520
And I knew before even pressing the play button that

1061
01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:58.239
since I've done that pressed the play button. This was

1062
01:38:58.600 --> 01:39:09.600
in the days of CD players press the play button.

1063
01:39:13.000 --> 01:39:15.840
In fact, it might have even been a tape tape recorder.

1064
01:39:17.119 --> 01:39:25.479
I'd lie down on the bed and then even without

1065
01:39:26.039 --> 01:39:39.000
necessarily listening to her words because I had them memorized. Really,

1066
01:39:43.680 --> 01:39:49.680
it was as if my body knew exactly what to do,

1067
01:39:54.439 --> 01:40:16.279
and the muscles just most went into automatic relaxation, and

1068
01:40:16.399 --> 01:40:30.439
I remember my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I

1069
01:40:30.479 --> 01:40:36.720
was listening to this recording in the early days of

1070
01:40:36.800 --> 01:40:47.520
learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made any videos

1071
01:40:47.640 --> 01:40:52.359
or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that

1072
01:40:52.479 --> 01:41:06.920
till two thousand and six, I knew, I knew how

1073
01:41:08.680 --> 01:41:22.479
helpful I found being able to just let go, to

1074
01:41:22.560 --> 01:41:27.800
have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

1075
01:41:35.439 --> 01:41:42.199
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if

1076
01:41:43.600 --> 01:41:53.000
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you

1077
01:41:53.079 --> 01:42:04.720
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

1078
01:42:04.760 --> 01:42:18.680
me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not

1079
01:42:18.720 --> 01:42:25.039
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

1080
01:42:26.840 --> 01:42:41.920
Some people maybe listen every day. And something that I

1081
01:42:41.960 --> 01:42:57.960
do which you may not realize by listening is when

1082
01:42:58.239 --> 01:43:13.760
I record these recordings now, for example, I also am

1083
01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:27.800
affected by the words that I say. So if I

1084
01:43:27.840 --> 01:43:35.199
set you focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,

1085
01:43:38.680 --> 01:43:46.560
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be

1086
01:43:46.680 --> 01:44:04.760
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said focus on your hands,

1087
01:44:07.560 --> 01:44:17.079
and maybe notice the difference between each hand, perhaps notice

1088
01:44:17.199 --> 01:44:23.279
the the air in the room, the temperature of the room.

1089
01:44:25.159 --> 01:44:35.560
On the backs of your hands. You may start to

1090
01:44:36.119 --> 01:44:44.199
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even

1091
01:44:44.239 --> 01:44:48.479
though there may not be any type of breeze at

1092
01:44:48.520 --> 01:45:01.520
all where you are right now. And as you become

1093
01:45:02.119 --> 01:45:16.520
aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed

1094
01:45:16.800 --> 01:45:40.600
my hands are feeling now. And when it comes to

1095
01:45:42.119 --> 01:45:48.159
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason

1096
01:45:48.479 --> 01:46:04.760
you're listening, I also feel drowsy. When I make these recordings,

1097
01:46:09.439 --> 01:46:25.840
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times

1098
01:46:27.880 --> 01:46:42.079
I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing. And then I

1099
01:46:42.199 --> 01:46:53.520
carry on talking. And it's only where I listen back

1100
01:46:53.760 --> 01:47:02.439
to do the editing. I hears snare, sorry, and I

1101
01:47:02.479 --> 01:47:12.319
think I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. Is this

1102
01:47:12.479 --> 01:47:19.840
snoring was a pick turned up? That's why it sounds

1103
01:47:19.920 --> 01:47:29.600
like when I snare, how I get really into the

1104
01:47:29.640 --> 01:47:47.840
whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How relaxed

1105
01:47:47.920 --> 01:47:58.039
do you feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel

1106
01:47:58.239 --> 01:48:24.840
in your hands. I have noticed more and more that

1107
01:48:25.039 --> 01:48:41.239
the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel, the

1108
01:48:41.399 --> 01:49:02.039
easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation.

1109
01:49:06.359 --> 01:49:29.640
So this allows you debree easier without necessarily focusing on

1110
01:49:29.800 --> 01:49:58.800
your breath, however, being able to notice the ease in

1111
01:49:58.840 --> 01:50:26.039
which you breathe so naturally. You breathe so very easily

1112
01:50:27.600 --> 01:51:14.359
and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when I've

1113
01:51:14.359 --> 01:51:30.199
got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize a beautiful

1114
01:51:30.359 --> 01:51:47.439
field with trees and flowers producing all that life giving oxygen.

1115
01:52:07.680 --> 01:52:23.359
It feels nice to if nothing else, just taking some

1116
01:52:23.760 --> 01:53:06.520
time away from everything, enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity

1117
01:53:18.079 --> 01:53:50.319
with a joyful heart. Time seems to just drip by,

1118
01:53:54.840 --> 01:54:44.640
so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to

1119
01:54:45.560 --> 01:55:42.520
any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free, noticing that

1120
01:55:50.039 --> 01:56:36.640
your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because nothing really

1121
01:56:36.840 --> 01:57:07.399
requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical sensations of

1122
01:57:07.600 --> 01:57:20.600
allowing the stress drip out of your body, to appear

1123
01:57:20.880 --> 01:57:44.880
out of every part of your body and being released

1124
01:57:50.119 --> 01:58:29.840
from your brain. In your mind slowly but surely, the

1125
01:58:30.039 --> 01:59:23.880
muscles singles, relax res really, so very deeply, RCTs so deeply,

1126
01:59:41.680 --> 01:59:51.840
and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders,

1127
02:00:09.720 --> 02:00:34.279
deepening each part of your body further and deeper and deeper.

1128
02:00:48.800 --> 02:01:19.359
Noticing the feelings in the back of your neck, feelings

1129
02:01:19.359 --> 02:02:08.239
in your wrists, muscles in front of your body. I

1130
02:02:08.439 --> 02:02:57.520
also feeling peaceful deeply. There's a sense of peace spreads

1131
02:02:57.920 --> 02:03:37.479
through your very cool even when you focus on your mind,

1132
02:03:49.399 --> 02:05:00.159
your mind becomes ef and slower, n deeper, relaxing a

1133
02:05:00.520 --> 02:06:17.239
very slow his stomach he's fallin's stomach back. Notice, Notice

1134
02:06:17.439 --> 02:06:35.840
how relaxed you'd now feel in the hall of your back.

1135
02:07:01.039 --> 02:07:10.199
In spy from your brain all the way down the

1136
02:07:10.239 --> 02:07:20.920
middle of your back, sending and receiving millions of messages

1137
02:07:21.640 --> 02:08:52.640
every day, deep comfort, increasing deeply relaxed, your knees, spreading

1138
02:08:52.840 --> 02:09:01.920
these signals down a spine or cord into air, every

1139
02:09:02.239 --> 02:09:21.039
part of your body, your shins and your calf muscles.

1140
02:09:48.159 --> 02:10:17.680
We're outbursts feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your body,

1141
02:10:22.680 --> 02:10:38.960
tips of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers, all

1142
02:10:38.960 --> 02:11:24.800
the way to your lower back. Letting go, redating peace,

1143
02:11:40.600 --> 02:12:07.159
drifting mind just warmed in away, happy to let go,

1144

the space, this space of peace and safety, so fury fey, relaxed,

1147
02:17:52.840 --> 02:18:17.600
lessing God. Maybe we can just focus on the different

1148
02:18:17.959 --> 02:18:52.760
parts of your body, just to notice your forehead and

1149
02:18:52.959 --> 02:19:57.239
your eyes mutual, so loose, noticing in the sense of

1150
02:19:57.559 --> 02:22:02.399
complete freedom, absolute freedom day pre da Pea's energy. Peace

1151
02:22:03.079 --> 02:23:18.360
to breathe easier lest you may have. You may not

1152
02:23:18.559 --> 02:24:20.280
have noticed your mind drifting, peaceful move even more deeply

1153
02:24:25.719 --> 02:25:13.440
in the direction of total blissful pace, blissful peace, arrest,

1154
02:26:01.399 --> 02:27:13.040
total peace, come soap, calm, let him go peace with

1155
02:27:13.440 --> 02:28:24.559
mind relaxed forty so relaxed, so relaxed. Your body feels

1156
02:28:24.600 --> 02:29:27.959
almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so peace real liquor,

1157
02:29:44.079 --> 02:30:04.600
so peaceful, son of fair face. And you could start

1158
02:30:04.920 --> 02:30:14.479
to notice that you are feeling more relaxed, even though

1159
02:30:14.559 --> 02:30:25.799
I've not purposely focused your mind upon that sense of

1160
02:30:26.200 --> 02:30:31.639
physical comfort that is growing within you throughout your body,

1161
02:30:34.840 --> 02:30:44.520
and your mind starts to slow down, and that could

1162
02:30:44.559 --> 02:30:52.879
be almost in recognition of I guess my speech not

1163
02:30:53.040 --> 02:31:10.200
being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer. Just

1164
02:31:10.479 --> 02:31:19.040
by listening to my voice, you give yourself an opportunity

1165
02:31:20.760 --> 02:31:26.520
to take a break from the day, take a break

1166
02:31:26.600 --> 02:31:34.360
from your life as it is, and to give yourself

1167
02:31:34.360 --> 02:31:42.360
a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time off,

1168
02:31:44.520 --> 02:31:49.920
and to allow your body to relax and allow your

1169
02:31:50.079 --> 02:32:00.680
mind to slow down, which in turn releases the tension

1170
02:32:02.120 --> 02:32:11.280
any stresses that you had in your body. It's almost

1171
02:32:11.319 --> 02:32:15.559
as if the parts of your body just open up,

1172
02:32:16.760 --> 02:32:28.440
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing

1173
02:32:29.239 --> 02:32:38.799
that negativity with positive heathing energy which then fills your

1174
02:32:38.840 --> 02:32:50.719
body up and your mind to also starts to appreciate

1175
02:32:51.559 --> 02:33:09.959
those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing,

1176
02:33:13.120 --> 02:33:21.719
an energy that spreads through your body like a wave

1177
02:33:24.000 --> 02:33:36.159
of comfort. And all this comes and just allowing yourself

1178
02:33:38.959 --> 02:33:44.200
a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however long you

1179
02:33:44.280 --> 02:33:56.840
want it to be, to just rest and allow your

1180
02:33:56.959 --> 02:34:06.840
mind and your body to almost reset itself to the

1181
02:34:07.559 --> 02:34:23.440
settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more room

1182
02:34:23.920 --> 02:34:37.000
for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around your

1183
02:34:37.040 --> 02:34:45.479
body and into your mind, almost as if your mind

1184
02:34:45.559 --> 02:34:56.239
and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each other,

1185
02:34:57.200 --> 02:35:11.520
with that growing positivity and calmness. And it feels nice.

1186
02:35:11.680 --> 02:35:17.680
It really does feel nice to know that you are

1187
02:35:17.719 --> 02:35:27.920
the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort

1188
02:35:31.159 --> 02:35:44.639
and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout

1189
02:35:44.719 --> 02:35:56.959
your body. And as I focus on each part of

1190
02:35:57.040 --> 02:36:09.479
your body, you can notice that that part becomes even

1191
02:36:10.479 --> 02:36:19.799
more relaxed just by focusing on it. It becomes even

1192
02:36:20.000 --> 02:36:32.680
more calm and comfortable just by focusing. And as I

1193
02:36:32.920 --> 02:36:41.280
move down your body, starting at your head, the parts

1194
02:36:41.360 --> 02:36:48.799
that you've already focused on will continue to relax deeply,

1195
02:36:51.559 --> 02:36:57.600
and those parts that we've not yet focused on or

1196
02:36:57.760 --> 02:37:09.559
just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation of even

1197
02:37:09.959 --> 02:37:22.520
more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start

1198
02:37:22.600 --> 02:37:29.840
by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of the

1199
02:37:29.879 --> 02:37:40.200
feelings of your forehead and any background sounds like mister

1200
02:37:40.440 --> 02:37:45.399
Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel even

1201
02:37:45.520 --> 02:37:55.680
more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment. This isn't

1202
02:37:56.040 --> 02:38:03.959
this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world. I

1203
02:38:04.079 --> 02:38:11.520
live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around.

1204
02:38:16.799 --> 02:38:21.959
So as you focus on your forehead, just notice how

1205
02:38:22.000 --> 02:38:32.000
it becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on

1206
02:38:32.200 --> 02:38:41.799
my voice and that part of your body. Moving down

1207
02:38:42.000 --> 02:38:54.559
to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your

1208
02:38:54.600 --> 02:39:02.639
eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,

1209
02:39:05.799 --> 02:39:16.479
and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely. Moving

1210
02:39:16.559 --> 02:39:23.799
your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1211
02:39:24.959 --> 02:39:32.920
your teeth, and your gums, the whole of your mouth relaxing,

1212
02:39:36.399 --> 02:39:46.680
calm and loose as you focus now on your jaw,

1213
02:39:49.719 --> 02:39:54.120
not just the part of your jawney, your mouth, and

1214
02:39:54.239 --> 02:39:58.520
your chin, but all the way up the size of

1215
02:39:58.600 --> 02:40:06.360
your face to your ears, the hole of your jaw

1216
02:40:07.920 --> 02:40:35.120
feeding more relaxed and calm. Focusing on your neck, the

1217
02:40:35.159 --> 02:40:42.680
front of your neck and your throat relaxing and loose

1218
02:40:43.399 --> 02:40:53.040
and calm. The sides of your neck, the right and

1219
02:40:53.239 --> 02:41:11.840
left side of your neck relax and loose and calm.

1220
02:41:12.239 --> 02:41:19.120
And now the back of your neck. Focusing on the

1221
02:41:19.159 --> 02:41:29.639
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

1222
02:41:29.799 --> 02:41:38.680
may have been there before, and enjoying that sense of

1223
02:41:39.680 --> 02:41:50.399
increasing comfort and release that you can experience in the

1224
02:41:50.440 --> 02:42:02.719
back of your neck. Moving down your back and moving

1225
02:42:02.959 --> 02:42:07.440
either side of your spine right from the top.

1226
02:42:07.239 --> 02:42:08.200
Of your back.

1227
02:42:09.840 --> 02:42:13.520
All the way down to the bottom of your back,

1228
02:42:19.520 --> 02:42:30.840
down to your lower back. And as you move up

1229
02:42:30.879 --> 02:42:39.719
and down your spine, you can feel the muscles either

1230
02:42:39.840 --> 02:42:53.399
side of your spine relaxing even more. And as those

1231
02:42:53.559 --> 02:43:03.000
muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to bread outwards

1232
02:43:04.559 --> 02:43:14.200
from your spine into both sides of your back, the

1233
02:43:14.239 --> 02:43:17.799
top of your back, the middle and your lower back.

1234
02:43:21.280 --> 02:43:28.479
And as you scan gently and slowly up and down

1235
02:43:28.639 --> 02:43:33.719
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your

1236
02:43:33.760 --> 02:43:43.719
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle

1237
02:43:43.760 --> 02:43:51.120
of your back also seem to just almost divide from

1238
02:43:51.120 --> 02:44:04.600
each other, separating and almost melting. And in your lower

1239
02:44:04.639 --> 02:44:15.479
back it seems to be an extra special feeling of

1240
02:44:15.600 --> 02:44:27.639
comfort that spreads into your hips. Sit down your lower back,

1241
02:44:27.920 --> 02:44:35.920
into your hips, into the area where your cosicks are,

1242
02:44:39.479 --> 02:44:47.680
and into your buttocks, and all those muscles that spread

1243
02:44:48.440 --> 02:44:58.159
from your lower back into your hip area start to melt,

1244
02:45:02.600 --> 02:45:14.959
start to really let go, and even know where about

1245
02:45:15.040 --> 02:45:21.079
to focus on your shoulders. Your back and your spine

1246
02:45:22.120 --> 02:45:39.680
will continue to let go, continue to relax so calmly,

1247
02:45:43.600 --> 02:45:48.559
and as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice

1248
02:45:48.760 --> 02:46:19.280
that they're already feeling really loose, already feeding calm and

1249
02:46:19.959 --> 02:46:32.920
feeding those muscles. Then move from your neck into your shoulders.

1250
02:46:39.440 --> 02:47:08.959
Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and

1251
02:47:09.040 --> 02:47:21.920
the feeling in your shoulders seens to spread deep into

1252
02:47:21.959 --> 02:47:32.399
your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1253
02:47:32.799 --> 02:47:49.760
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

1254
02:47:49.879 --> 02:47:58.680
all away to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area

1255
02:47:58.879 --> 02:48:08.639
between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms. Healing.

1256
02:48:14.040 --> 02:48:27.200
You feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which

1257
02:48:27.319 --> 02:48:49.239
sends that deep healing message into your arms. And you

1258
02:48:49.360 --> 02:48:54.639
may feel almost as if your arms are not even

1259
02:48:54.840 --> 02:49:33.000
there because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm,

1260
02:49:33.559 --> 02:49:54.959
so please not feeling spreading all the way down your

1261
02:49:55.159 --> 02:50:25.840
arms to elbows, including your elbows, circumforts, spreads or away

1262
02:50:26.920 --> 02:50:45.799
into rests, your forearments, and your wrists so heavy, yet

1263
02:50:46.040 --> 02:51:26.520
at the same time so light and gentle. Frey. You

1264
02:51:26.680 --> 02:52:07.040
see now on your hands, my hands, so peaceful in

1265
02:52:07.079 --> 02:52:44.680
your hands. There's a sense of real peace. It just

1266
02:52:44.879 --> 02:53:10.799
seems to I feel so familiar when your hands relax deeply. Yes,

To spread your chest in your stumm so relat, letting

1277
03:02:06.159 --> 03:02:24.399
go of everything. So I'm gonna start counting down now

1278
03:02:27.040 --> 03:02:35.760
from twenty down to one. You can imagine in a

1279
03:02:35.799 --> 03:02:41.639
way it's like just walking down some steps and each

1280
03:02:41.799 --> 03:02:47.479
step or twenty steps, and each step represents a level

1281
03:02:48.000 --> 03:03:00.760
of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of the comfort

1282
03:03:07.360 --> 03:03:12.440
and the fervies you walk down those steps that the

1283
03:03:12.639 --> 03:03:23.799
deeper and more relaxed you feel. So starting with number

1284
03:03:23.879 --> 03:05:57.639
twenty twenty, nineteen, eight, seventeen, sixteen.

1285
03:06:01.040 --> 03:07:27.959
Us fifteen.

1286
03:07:55.319 --> 03:16:47.959
Fourteen four two too well five eight nine hey seven

1287
03:16:49.639 --> 03:24:07.719
sixty five four one, And now as you focus on

1288
03:24:07.760 --> 03:24:26.920
your eyes, we're gonna come down from ten out one,

1289
03:24:27.639 --> 03:24:37.280
focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around

1290
03:24:37.360 --> 03:24:48.799
your eyes, your eye walls themselves, a whole area that

1291
03:24:49.000 --> 03:25:03.120
makes up your eye. And as we count down from

1292
03:25:03.239 --> 03:25:17.959
ten down to one, whilst focusing on your eyes, you'll

1293
03:25:18.319 --> 03:25:32.879
become twice is relaxed. With each number counting down that

1294
03:25:32.879 --> 03:25:40.159
you may find the all you want to do is

1295
03:25:40.639 --> 03:25:49.200
just to drift off to sleep. And if that's what

1296
03:25:49.319 --> 03:26:02.040
you want, then just allow yourself to do that. Now,

1297
03:26:04.799 --> 03:26:11.559
focusing on your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down

1298
03:26:12.719 --> 03:27:29.479
from ten down to one right now, ten nine eight.

1299
03:27:37.120 --> 03:29:22.440
Seven ye.

1300
03:30:26.719 --> 03:35:41.879
Five four three two one. So counted down from ten

1301
03:35:42.000 --> 03:36:05.360
to one ten nine eight seven six five four three

1302
03:36:05.600 --> 03:36:17.680
two one. And maybe that was a bit too quick

1303
03:36:18.239 --> 03:36:22.159
in order to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast

1304
03:36:22.440 --> 03:36:31.280
for you to notice the calming of your body, maybe

1305
03:36:32.079 --> 03:36:35.920
even a little bit of pressure there, Like you're counting

1306
03:36:36.040 --> 03:36:38.559
down from ten to one. Would you expect me to

1307
03:36:38.760 --> 03:36:43.719
do man, expect me to stick go floppy just because

1308
03:36:43.719 --> 03:36:52.920
you're counting down. We could try it again, but this

1309
03:36:53.159 --> 03:36:59.680
time I go this lower. This time, as you focus

1310
03:36:59.760 --> 03:37:04.479
on the whole of your body before we focus on

1311
03:37:04.520 --> 03:37:14.920
your legs. Just notice how your body does start to

1312
03:37:15.399 --> 03:37:26.559
feel more relaxed with every number that I count down

1313
03:37:29.959 --> 03:39:10.079
ten nine eight seven six five four three two one.

1314
03:39:10.719 --> 03:39:16.440
And just notice how how you feel generally, how your

1315
03:39:16.440 --> 03:39:31.360
body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting down from

1316
03:39:31.399 --> 03:39:39.079
ten to one. It's that space that you have, that

1317
03:39:41.680 --> 03:40:02.600
space between being active physically or mentally to just sitting

1318
03:40:02.840 --> 03:40:07.440
or lying down and just being there, not doing anything,

1319
03:40:07.559 --> 03:40:14.239
not saying anything, not needing to think about anything. So

1320
03:40:14.879 --> 03:40:17.959
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1321
03:40:17.959 --> 03:40:28.959
a space, a gap, and the more I came down

1322
03:40:29.000 --> 03:40:36.399
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1323
03:40:36.520 --> 03:40:48.959
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

1324
03:40:49.040 --> 03:41:03.159
nice feeling, and it moves those dresses or discomforts physically

1325
03:41:03.280 --> 03:41:15.840
or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you.

1326
03:41:18.120 --> 03:41:18.719
To just.

1327
03:41:21.639 --> 03:41:28.079
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to

1328
03:41:28.159 --> 03:41:38.280
one and notice that gap widening, the gap. And as

1329
03:41:38.319 --> 03:41:44.440
it widens, it's almost like the stress and attention falls

1330
03:41:44.680 --> 03:42:03.079
into the gap and gives you that this that space

1331
03:42:05.440 --> 03:44:11.879
now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three two one. Now,

1332
03:44:12.079 --> 03:44:16.200
how does your body feel.

1333
03:44:18.079 --> 03:44:29.280
Now?

1334
03:44:30.959 --> 03:44:46.280
Can you notice do you feeling calmer, the feeling more

1335
03:44:46.680 --> 03:45:14.120
relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

1336
03:45:30.079 --> 03:45:50.239
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

1337
03:45:50.319 --> 03:45:55.200
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing because

1338
03:45:58.680 --> 03:46:01.399
I'm sure, like most of you body, there's not a

1339
03:46:01.440 --> 03:46:13.879
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

1340
03:46:13.959 --> 03:46:20.399
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

1341
03:46:20.520 --> 03:46:27.559
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

1342
03:46:27.600 --> 03:46:32.520
and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh

1343
03:46:32.639 --> 03:46:41.440
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

1344
03:46:41.600 --> 03:46:55.639
your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's

1345
03:46:55.680 --> 03:47:01.200
a very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest

1346
03:47:02.159 --> 03:47:15.399
muscles in your body are in your thighs. But I

1347
03:47:15.440 --> 03:47:23.799
don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

1348
03:47:29.680 --> 03:47:40.440
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1349
03:47:40.600 --> 03:48:01.280
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

1350
03:48:01.319 --> 03:48:11.799
through our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,

1351
03:48:11.840 --> 03:48:20.319
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

1352
03:48:20.360 --> 03:48:28.559
our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shone,

1353
03:48:29.000 --> 03:48:47.239
a bit of acknowledgment, thank you, gratitude for what our

1354
03:48:47.360 --> 03:48:56.719
thighs do for us. And I know this may sound

1355
03:48:56.799 --> 03:49:03.040
a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I sure

1356
03:49:03.079 --> 03:49:05.639
that I should be out in the garden hugging a

1357
03:49:05.719 --> 03:49:14.120
tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a microphone

1358
03:49:14.200 --> 03:49:17.280
up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.

1359
03:49:17.280 --> 03:49:20.840
Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. Now I

1360
03:49:20.879 --> 03:49:29.639
can't see the television from the tree. If you move

1361
03:49:29.719 --> 03:49:34.719
down to your knees, you're getting such an important part,

1362
03:49:39.000 --> 03:49:44.120
and I think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here,

1363
03:49:46.559 --> 03:49:51.719
I don't necessarily appreciate all that my knees do for

1364
03:49:51.799 --> 03:49:57.639
me until I have a problem with my knee. It's

1365
03:49:57.680 --> 03:50:03.319
occasionally if I maybe i'll bash it or it's aching

1366
03:50:03.479 --> 03:50:09.959
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much

1367
03:50:10.000 --> 03:50:14.440
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to

1368
03:50:14.559 --> 03:50:24.559
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

1369
03:50:24.600 --> 03:50:33.399
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

1370
03:50:34.479 --> 03:50:41.600
You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

1371
03:50:43.639 --> 03:50:49.319
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that

1372
03:50:49.559 --> 03:50:55.760
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all

1373
03:50:55.840 --> 03:51:08.159
that they do for you. And you can still have

1374
03:51:08.200 --> 03:51:12.440
that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your

1375
03:51:12.479 --> 03:51:24.360
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more

1376
03:51:26.120 --> 03:51:37.840
deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,

1377
03:51:38.239 --> 03:51:43.639
your shins and your calf muscles and the bones between

1378
03:51:43.799 --> 03:51:50.000
your knees and your feet incorporate, and of course your

1379
03:51:50.079 --> 03:52:03.200
ankles so important. Anyone has had even like the slightest

1380
03:52:03.600 --> 03:52:09.680
sprain of an ankle knows how how much we take

1381
03:52:10.959 --> 03:52:19.840
our ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange in

1382
03:52:19.879 --> 03:52:25.079
a way when you think that. You know, logically, our

1383
03:52:25.120 --> 03:52:29.000
wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms,

1384
03:52:29.680 --> 03:52:33.200
which is okay, it doesn't I can't see any problem

1385
03:52:33.200 --> 03:52:38.159
with that because we're just picking stuff up. But our

1386
03:52:38.200 --> 03:52:44.559
ankles so much thinner than the rest of our legs,

1387
03:52:50.440 --> 03:52:54.879
and from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't

1388
03:52:54.920 --> 03:53:00.959
really make sense that all this weight would ultimately be

1389
03:53:02.040 --> 03:53:12.079
resting on your ankles then leading to your feet, that

1390
03:53:12.639 --> 03:53:21.639
thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work.

1391
03:53:23.760 --> 03:53:33.479
Supports us, supports our body for a lifetime, helps us

1392
03:53:33.959 --> 03:53:43.360
to balance, It helps you to get around and be mobile.

1393
03:53:49.680 --> 03:53:57.639
And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger,

1394
03:53:57.840 --> 03:54:01.159
I couldn't see the point in calf muscles. Didn't seem

1395
03:54:01.200 --> 03:54:06.319
to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,

1396
03:54:07.040 --> 03:54:10.920
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course

1397
03:54:10.959 --> 03:54:15.159
that's not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever

1398
03:54:15.200 --> 03:54:27.159
we use our legs and your shins there to protect

1399
03:54:29.079 --> 03:54:37.760
your lower legs, shaped in a way almost as a

1400
03:54:37.799 --> 03:54:50.239
protector for the bone, leading of course to your ankles

1401
03:54:53.479 --> 03:55:00.159
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on

1402
03:55:00.200 --> 03:55:02.360
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs,

1403
03:55:04.319 --> 03:55:08.959
I realize, but now that I've mentioned your feet, you

1404
03:55:09.079 --> 03:55:14.040
probably focuses on them anyway, So maybe I should focus

1405
03:55:14.079 --> 03:55:14.920
on your feet.

1406
03:55:14.680 --> 03:55:15.200
A little bit.

1407
03:55:19.200 --> 03:55:23.680
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1408
03:55:23.719 --> 03:55:28.079
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1409
03:55:28.159 --> 03:55:32.200
haven't been focusing on your thighs for a few minutes,

1410
03:55:33.959 --> 03:55:44.760
let me focusing on your ankles. There's still that sensation

1411
03:55:45.040 --> 03:56:00.440
of comfort in your thighs and this that movement of

1412
03:56:00.719 --> 03:56:10.159
energy because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1413
03:56:10.200 --> 03:56:15.000
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1414
03:56:15.159 --> 03:56:28.520
in our thighs. But the skin on the outside of

1415
03:56:28.559 --> 03:56:33.920
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1416
03:56:34.680 --> 03:56:46.280
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1417
03:56:52.840 --> 03:57:00.399
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1418
03:57:00.440 --> 03:57:05.239
the blood, vessels, the ar trees, it's all this stuff

1419
03:57:05.319 --> 03:57:14.079
that's inside your thighs. And I guess sometimes it'd be

1420
03:57:14.159 --> 03:57:18.319
nice if you could actually put your fingers inside your

1421
03:57:18.360 --> 03:57:24.600
thighs and a message, so you can message on the outside,

1422
03:57:24.840 --> 03:57:27.760
of course, but to be able to get deep into

1423
03:57:27.799 --> 03:57:32.639
the muscles and to be able to just message inside

1424
03:57:32.680 --> 03:57:39.719
your thighs, message in the bones of your leg message

1425
03:57:39.760 --> 03:57:49.319
in all the veins, and just gently heaving your thighs

1426
03:57:52.920 --> 03:57:58.239
and you could move down message and inside your knees,

1427
03:58:00.120 --> 03:58:06.600
sarge in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that

1428
03:58:06.959 --> 03:58:18.159
healing energy deep into the joints of your knees. Of course,

1429
03:58:18.239 --> 03:58:21.639
there's the back of your your knee, you know, the

1430
03:58:21.719 --> 03:58:29.760
inside crease where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area.

1431
03:58:30.719 --> 03:58:35.120
Very it feels very nice when you stroke it. That

1432
03:58:35.239 --> 03:58:38.959
might be because it's an area that's not really touched

1433
03:58:39.120 --> 03:58:45.719
very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that crease

1434
03:58:47.799 --> 03:58:54.559
in your legs. It's almost like a part that has

1435
03:58:54.600 --> 03:59:05.360
a sensitivity which is a little bit different. Of course,

1436
03:59:05.399 --> 03:59:15.920
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

1437
03:59:16.760 --> 03:59:26.440
your fingers into that crease in your legs, that fold

1438
03:59:26.559 --> 03:59:30.719
in between your legs. You can just message with your fingertips.

1439
03:59:31.879 --> 03:59:40.239
Imagine your fingertips going inside massage in the muscle tissue.

1440
03:59:43.239 --> 03:59:47.639
You can of course field the bones of your knees

1441
03:59:49.000 --> 03:59:59.520
heading through your fingertips, and then as you go down

1442
04:00:02.319 --> 04:00:05.159
to your calf muscles, and that's the part. I'd like

1443
04:00:05.239 --> 04:00:09.959
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1444
04:00:10.680 --> 04:00:18.719
my calf muscles and massage in every single tissue of

1445
04:00:18.760 --> 04:00:30.120
that muscle, healing every part, and then doing the same

1446
04:00:30.280 --> 04:00:38.040
for my shins, massage in and gently stroking the bones,

1447
04:00:39.760 --> 04:00:45.479
gently stroking them, healing in a loving way, because they

1448
04:00:45.559 --> 04:00:52.040
deserve to be treated as the precious bones that they are.

1449
04:00:53.280 --> 04:00:56.559
Because our legs are so precious as in all the

1450
04:00:56.600 --> 04:01:02.360
other parts of our body, the more precious of anyture

1451
04:01:04.959 --> 04:01:21.000
on the planet. When you start to think about your

1452
04:01:21.079 --> 04:01:32.440
legs in this way, it can change your perspective. It

1453
04:01:32.559 --> 04:01:39.399
might sound a bit a bit silly to start with

1454
04:01:39.479 --> 04:01:45.879
the idea of having love for your legs, showing appreciation

1455
04:01:47.799 --> 04:01:53.479
for your thighs, wanting to be able to put your

1456
04:01:53.600 --> 04:02:01.879
hands in your thighs the massage the muscle and the bones,

1457
04:02:03.719 --> 04:02:09.440
and to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

1458
04:02:12.319 --> 04:02:21.120
just to show how much you care about your legs,

1459
04:02:21.799 --> 04:02:25.600
how much you care for what your legs do for

1460
04:02:25.719 --> 04:02:39.360
you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength

1461
04:02:39.479 --> 04:02:47.559
of your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to

1462
04:02:47.639 --> 04:02:54.399
the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're

1463
04:02:54.479 --> 04:03:06.760
so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are

1464
04:03:10.600 --> 04:03:15.600
truly a gift because of what they do.

1465
04:03:15.479 --> 04:03:16.040
For you.

1466
04:03:21.159 --> 04:03:28.159
Supporting all that weight, regardless of how what weight you are,

1467
04:03:29.319 --> 04:03:34.120
even if you only ate stone, there's still a lot

1468
04:03:34.120 --> 04:03:40.840
of weight for these little ankles. Now I'm a lot

1469
04:03:41.040 --> 04:03:51.000
heavier than eight stone doubled out, yet my ankles support

1470
04:03:51.040 --> 04:03:58.440
my body all the time, although they do give off

1471
04:03:58.440 --> 04:04:03.719
a sigh of relief when a six down as I

1472
04:04:03.840 --> 04:04:11.079
have my whole legs do my feet feet also go,

1473
04:04:13.000 --> 04:04:40.760
my toes clap, We're so happy. Your legs really are amazing.

1474
04:04:43.360 --> 04:04:47.040
And I know that talking about talking about your legs

1475
04:04:47.120 --> 04:04:53.760
is probably possibly among the most most boring things you've

1476
04:04:53.760 --> 04:05:02.840
ever heard anyone say, possibly the glory or not. Everything

1477
04:05:02.840 --> 04:05:18.360
I said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs

1478
04:05:18.479 --> 04:05:38.040
deserve not just respect, They deserve to relax deeply. They

1479
04:05:38.159 --> 04:05:43.479
deserve to take some time out of the day to

1480
04:05:43.680 --> 04:06:19.879
just let go completely. The legs really can relax. And

1481
04:06:19.959 --> 04:06:23.959
because the legs are so such a most you know,

1482
04:06:24.159 --> 04:06:30.120
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1483
04:06:30.200 --> 04:06:41.600
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that journey.

1484
04:06:41.680 --> 04:06:53.479
Of comfort. I can feel it in my hips. My

1485
04:06:53.600 --> 04:07:00.959
hips feel really loose, and also my heart back as well.

1486
04:07:02.959 --> 04:07:03.879
My low back.

1487
04:07:03.920 --> 04:07:09.479
Really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting

1488
04:07:09.520 --> 04:07:15.520
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as

1489
04:07:15.559 --> 04:07:18.520
I'm aware that I'm doing. But it's almost as if

1490
04:07:18.600 --> 04:07:22.559
the muscles are just relaxed so much that there is

1491
04:07:22.639 --> 04:07:31.159
a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.

1492
04:07:47.479 --> 04:07:50.600
And I'm now going to count down from ten down

1493
04:07:50.639 --> 04:08:02.000
to one, and you can continue to feel wonderfully relaxed.

1494
04:08:05.760 --> 04:08:21.680
Ten nine eight seven six.

1495
04:08:24.399 --> 04:08:30.000
Five four.

1496
04:08:32.959 --> 04:08:48.959
Three two one relax.

1497
04:08:56.760 --> 04:09:00.600
So I'm just going to count down, I ad down

1498
04:09:00.639 --> 04:09:05.120
to one, and as I countdown, if you just focus

1499
04:09:05.200 --> 04:09:13.159
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1500
04:09:14.040 --> 04:09:16.600
how you feel.

1501
04:09:18.719 --> 04:09:23.360
In this moment as you hear the numbers counting down,

1502
04:09:24.360 --> 04:09:36.959
knowing that those numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer,

1503
04:09:38.239 --> 04:09:44.239
not just in your body, but also relaxing your mind.

1504
04:09:46.479 --> 04:09:50.879
I'll just notice how you feel. There's nothing to do,

1505
04:09:51.799 --> 04:09:59.319
there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about. Starting

1506
04:10:00.079 --> 04:10:33.959
with number five four three two.

1507
04:10:37.760 --> 04:10:38.000
One.

1508
04:10:47.399 --> 04:10:59.319
Now, as you notice the gradual letting go, the de

1509
04:10:59.440 --> 04:11:07.120
tensure in your body. You may also begin to notice

1510
04:11:07.200 --> 04:11:15.719
and be aware of how your mind is starting to

1511
04:11:15.760 --> 04:11:22.440
slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1512
04:11:24.959 --> 04:11:30.200
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1513
04:11:30.239 --> 04:11:36.159
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax,

1514
04:11:37.719 --> 04:11:41.399
and the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1515
04:11:41.520 --> 04:11:52.159
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And is that

1516
04:11:53.280 --> 04:12:02.239
calmness that comes from relative quietness. Even if there's background

1517
04:12:02.440 --> 04:12:10.479
sounds either your side, online, it's still going to be

1518
04:12:10.639 --> 04:12:14.959
quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on,

1519
04:12:15.520 --> 04:12:19.799
there's no music in the background, unless you're listening to

1520
04:12:19.840 --> 04:12:27.559
the recorded with music. Of course, you're very likely not

1521
04:12:27.639 --> 04:12:29.760
going to be sitting in a room with other people.

1522
04:12:30.639 --> 04:12:35.280
Of course you might be, but generally it's more ideal

1523
04:12:35.319 --> 04:12:40.360
if you can do this on your own, so no distractions,

1524
04:12:46.520 --> 04:12:59.479
and when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises.

1525
04:13:01.799 --> 04:13:12.600
A sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying

1526
04:13:12.639 --> 04:13:21.559
to build it up into something fantastical or something magical,

1527
04:13:23.639 --> 04:13:34.200
this is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish.

1528
04:13:36.639 --> 04:13:44.120
In fact, it's almost the sense of relaxing completely happens

1529
04:13:44.159 --> 04:13:49.000
really when you put no effort into it. It's not

1530
04:13:49.120 --> 04:13:57.680
something that you can really force. It's something that happens naturally.

1531
04:14:00.559 --> 04:14:07.920
And part of the process of this recording and others

1532
04:14:09.479 --> 04:14:19.440
is simply to allow you to take advantage of this

1533
04:14:20.559 --> 04:14:36.680
space this time, to just let go, to just be here,

1534
04:14:38.120 --> 04:14:51.040
to be in tune with how you feel, yet with

1535
04:14:51.760 --> 04:15:03.760
the intention of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even

1536
04:15:05.239 --> 04:15:09.719
to fall asleep, depending on what it is that you

1537
04:15:10.760 --> 04:15:23.920
wish for yourself in this moment. As we know, relaxing

1538
04:15:25.559 --> 04:15:33.719
is the majority of the process of falling asleep. The

1539
04:15:33.760 --> 04:15:38.360
actual falling asleep part is the tiny bit at the end.

1540
04:15:41.280 --> 04:15:55.959
The deeper relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting.

1541
04:16:05.520 --> 04:16:12.200
You can also if you choose stay focused on my

1542
04:16:12.360 --> 04:16:41.280
voice and really enjoy the process gradually relaxing each muscle

1543
04:16:45.840 --> 04:17:12.760
in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of

1544
04:17:13.000 --> 04:17:28.680
letting go completely. This time, I'm going to count from

1545
04:17:28.840 --> 04:17:39.079
six down to one, and you can notice your mind

1546
04:17:41.680 --> 04:17:47.280
calming down more with each number.

1547
04:17:48.239 --> 04:17:49.760
That you hear me.

1548
04:17:49.680 --> 04:20:37.600
Say, naturally, feeling calm and peaceful, six, five, four, three, two, one,

1549
04:20:58.799 --> 04:21:08.440
being away and of how your mind has slowed right down,

1550
04:21:11.639 --> 04:21:35.079
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1551
04:21:35.319 --> 04:21:47.840
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,

1552
04:21:47.879 --> 04:21:57.440
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

1553
04:21:57.479 --> 04:22:12.719
your attention. So what you can do is send love

1554
04:22:12.920 --> 04:22:23.120
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts.

1555
04:22:23.879 --> 04:22:24.479
With love.

1556
04:22:26.159 --> 04:22:30.719
M all petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

1557
04:22:31.840 --> 04:22:39.079
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those

1558
04:22:39.200 --> 04:22:45.799
thoughts know that you're not abandon in them. You just

1559
04:22:46.120 --> 04:22:56.200
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,

1560
04:22:58.520 --> 04:23:13.440
quiet down for now. So as you focus on those

1561
04:23:14.120 --> 04:23:19.040
remaining thoughts, as we count down this time from seven

1562
04:23:19.920 --> 04:23:28.639
down to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those

1563
04:23:28.840 --> 04:23:48.319
flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which

1564
04:23:48.319 --> 04:23:54.959
will allow them to just melt away and relax deeply.

1565
04:23:58.479 --> 04:24:12.920
Of every number, they thoughts would become more and more relaxed,

1566
04:24:18.520 --> 04:24:43.719
starting with number seven, six.

1567
04:25:01.159 --> 04:26:13.920
Five, four, three, two.

1568
04:26:32.639 --> 04:27:06.680
What it ish now, Notice how relaxed you're feeling in

1569
04:27:06.719 --> 04:27:28.280
your body. We're going to focus on your hands. Is

1570
04:27:28.360 --> 04:27:34.639
the more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your

1571
04:27:34.680 --> 04:27:55.479
body and mind are. And this you focus on your

1572
04:27:55.639 --> 04:28:05.879
hands and your fingers. There's nothing needed to be done.

1573
04:28:06.840 --> 04:28:12.079
There's no clenching of fists or dancing the fingers or

1574
04:28:12.120 --> 04:28:26.559
anything like that. It's just noticing and focusing on your hands,

1575
04:28:33.520 --> 04:28:54.639
noticing how they feel. Because the more relaxed do your

1576
04:28:54.799 --> 04:29:02.200
hands feel, I can't may your mind feels.

1577
04:29:03.680 --> 04:29:05.040
And more.

1578
04:29:07.600 --> 04:29:12.559
Comfort you feel throughout your body.

1579
04:29:17.760 --> 04:29:21.639
And you may.

1580
04:29:23.840 --> 04:30:06.399
Have already noticed your mind is starting to dress like

1581
04:30:06.680 --> 04:30:21.760
sense just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to

1582
04:30:24.159 --> 04:30:35.760
experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands

1583
04:30:35.799 --> 04:31:01.879
and fingers, more and more relaxed. With each number from

1584
04:31:02.000 --> 04:31:16.120
eight down to one, you can almost feel that healing

1585
04:31:16.840 --> 04:31:28.719
and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers becoming

1586
04:31:33.200 --> 04:31:42.680
year row relaxing with each number.

1587
04:31:44.639 --> 04:31:45.440
You hear.

1588
04:31:49.200 --> 04:32:04.440
Going down from eight down to one, drifting, drifting again,

1589
04:32:09.360 --> 04:36:10.080
starting with nomber eight, seven, six, five, four, three, just

1590
04:36:10.319 --> 04:36:19.520
being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1591
04:36:20.919 --> 04:36:34.919
nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer. And this

1592
04:36:35.159 --> 04:36:42.880
is your natural state of being. This is how you

1593
04:36:43.040 --> 04:36:49.919
just normally feel when you take away all that other

1594
04:36:50.319 --> 04:36:57.319
stuff that we add, you know, things like stress and

1595
04:36:57.520 --> 04:37:13.720
worrying and overthinking, the anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff.

1596
04:37:15.880 --> 04:37:19.880
You take that away, which is what we do. What

1597
04:37:19.959 --> 04:37:32.520
we do now, you're left with a real sense of

1598
04:37:33.240 --> 04:37:45.639
peacefulness which comes to you very quickly, because ultimately it's

1599
04:37:45.880 --> 04:37:59.479
just a feeling, a feeling of comfort, almost as if

1600
04:37:59.520 --> 04:38:03.919
you've gone inside yourself and you've found a special place

1601
04:38:05.279 --> 04:38:17.759
where everything is peaceful, a place where you can feel

1602
04:38:18.959 --> 04:38:28.360
relaxed and your natural sense of comfort, a place where

1603
04:38:28.400 --> 04:38:37.959
you can be you, where you can accept yourself for

1604
04:38:38.080 --> 04:38:45.279
who you are, the place where you're not trying to

1605
04:38:45.400 --> 04:38:56.159
please anybody else ever, a place where you can actually.

1606
04:38:58.959 --> 04:39:03.200
Not just luck yourself, but in some ways more.

1607
04:39:03.080 --> 04:39:20.919
Importantly, you can like yourself, appreciate who you are. A

1608
04:39:21.240 --> 04:39:27.520
sense of gratitude is in the air all around you,

1609
04:39:34.959 --> 04:39:41.319
and that's also a place where you can actually feel

1610
04:39:42.919 --> 04:39:57.040
the healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking

1611
04:39:58.200 --> 04:40:08.799
into your body, and that healing energy spreads through your veins,

1612
04:40:12.439 --> 04:40:21.680
traveling to each and every single part of your body,

1613
04:40:25.240 --> 04:40:31.439
and you start to realize that actually that healing energy,

1614
04:40:32.319 --> 04:40:38.720
it's not just entered into your brain, it's become part

1615
04:40:39.240 --> 04:40:50.560
of your brain, and the spinal fluid is now mixed

1616
04:40:50.599 --> 04:41:01.799
with healing energy, not just telling you to feel so

1617
04:41:02.000 --> 04:41:13.919
much more relaxed and healthy in this moment. But also

1618
04:41:16.840 --> 04:41:24.319
you start to realize to actually, what's happening now with

1619
04:41:24.479 --> 04:41:34.200
that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body, It's actually

1620
04:41:34.560 --> 04:41:44.799
changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're going

1621
04:41:44.880 --> 04:41:51.880
to feel not just now, but tomorrow and the next day.

1622
04:41:53.560 --> 04:42:01.040
As your health improves, not just your physical health, but

1623
04:42:01.159 --> 04:42:08.639
your mental health. Things that used to bother you in

1624
04:42:08.720 --> 04:42:16.360
the past, for some reason, no longer have the effect

1625
04:42:16.799 --> 04:42:25.759
that they used to because something has changed deep within you.

1626
04:42:30.799 --> 04:42:37.240
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1627
04:42:41.040 --> 04:42:51.159
no longer have that power to control you the way

1628
04:42:51.200 --> 04:42:59.240
they seem to be able to before. As you realize

1629
04:43:00.279 --> 04:43:12.720
that you're the one who decides what affects you, You're

1630
04:43:13.200 --> 04:43:23.119
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm when

1631
04:43:24.000 --> 04:43:38.880
you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing

1632
04:43:41.479 --> 04:43:54.799
continuing to grow and improve your life day by day,

1633
04:43:55.959 --> 04:44:04.360
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier

1634
04:44:09.200 --> 04:44:18.400
and sleep in. It's the most natural thing in the

1635
04:44:18.439 --> 04:44:28.200
world to you, because falling asleep is something that you've

1636
04:44:28.279 --> 04:44:33.279
done so many times.

1637
04:44:34.479 --> 04:44:42.040
In your life, and you know that you were born as.

1638
04:44:41.880 --> 04:44:48.279
We all were, with the ability to fall asleep naturally.

1639
04:44:52.560 --> 04:45:05.040
You're born with that ability drift off into a deep,

1640
04:45:06.279 --> 04:45:18.080
healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep

1641
04:45:18.119 --> 04:45:23.040
and we don't even want to try to stay awake.

1642
04:45:24.360 --> 04:45:27.919
Maybe it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas

1643
04:45:28.040 --> 04:45:31.000
or holiday or something we look forward to.

1644
04:45:31.479 --> 04:45:32.720
We don't want to go to sleep.

1645
04:45:34.959 --> 04:45:39.959
But the more you want to stay awake, the more

1646
04:45:40.159 --> 04:45:47.639
we just start to drift. And the more you fight

1647
04:45:47.720 --> 04:45:50.919
it drifting, the more you try to stop yourself and

1648
04:45:51.119 --> 04:45:51.639
drift in.

1649
04:45:51.599 --> 04:45:52.279
A safe.

1650
04:45:54.159 --> 04:46:05.240
The deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born

1651
04:46:06.200 --> 04:46:12.080
not just with the need to relax deeply and to

1652
04:46:12.240 --> 04:46:22.119
naturally fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of

1653
04:46:22.159 --> 04:46:33.840
our DNA, and sometimes as we get older in life,

1654
04:46:34.159 --> 04:46:47.720
perhaps at times we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's

1655
04:46:47.840 --> 04:47:07.360
not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

1656
04:47:12.279 --> 04:47:17.400
It's very very easy to let go.

1657
04:47:19.000 --> 04:47:20.240
Because that's all it is.

1658
04:47:20.319 --> 04:47:20.880
It's just.

1659
04:47:24.319 --> 04:47:35.759
Deciding to let go. And when you press the play

1660
04:47:35.840 --> 04:47:46.119
button on my recordings, you have given permission for my

1661
04:47:46.360 --> 04:47:54.479
voice to relax you. When you press that play button,

1662
04:47:55.479 --> 04:48:06.439
you've given me permission for my words to effect you

1663
04:48:07.080 --> 04:48:23.599
in a positive, only a positive way, opening up your

1664
04:48:23.680 --> 04:48:36.479
mind too useful and healing suggestions.

1665
04:48:41.000 --> 04:48:42.080
They can have.

1666
04:48:46.200 --> 04:48:53.840
Such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,

1667
04:48:58.400 --> 04:49:08.279
as well as those changes that continue long after the

1668
04:49:08.360 --> 04:49:19.200
recording ends, those changes within you that continue to flourish

1669
04:49:19.880 --> 04:49:34.479
and grow, transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way,

1670
04:49:37.560 --> 04:49:44.680
allowing you to move forward in your life in the

1671
04:49:44.720 --> 04:50:02.159
direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling, it's

1672
04:50:02.279 --> 04:50:10.080
feeling that you in experience of safety, comfort and calmness.

1673
04:50:17.799 --> 04:50:31.680
This feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to.

1674
04:50:31.720 --> 04:50:42.560
Be, and that positivity.

1675
04:50:42.759 --> 04:51:01.799
Grows within you each and every day. Moving forward, you're

1676
04:51:01.880 --> 04:51:13.000
had to find you're more relaxed physically and in your

1677
04:51:13.040 --> 04:51:23.200
mind is more relaxed. And it's not that you're thinking slower,

1678
04:51:25.400 --> 04:51:29.040
it's just that your mind would be less unlocked up

1679
04:51:30.119 --> 04:51:43.479
if unnecessary negativity, because from now on, your mind rejects negativity.

1680
04:51:47.479 --> 04:51:55.720
From now on, you're going to start noticing when negativity arises.

1681
04:51:59.520 --> 04:52:11.319
You can say stop, stop and the negativity.

1682
04:52:12.919 --> 04:52:19.400
Will turn around and leave you alone.

1683
04:52:24.000 --> 04:52:30.799
Stop and that negativity.

1684
04:52:33.040 --> 04:52:33.959
Would disappear.

1685
04:52:42.119 --> 04:52:48.599
And as you notice that, you feel way more relaxed

1686
04:52:50.000 --> 04:53:05.400
than you probably expected. You can now congratulate yourself because

1687
04:53:05.560 --> 04:53:08.520
you're the person that has done this.

1688
04:53:10.200 --> 04:53:13.400
You are the one that has.

1689
04:53:13.439 --> 04:53:21.840
Opened your mind up to the simple facts. You can

1690
04:53:22.279 --> 04:53:26.919
feel more relaxed in your body and in your mind.

1691
04:53:33.119 --> 04:53:35.360
You've opened your mind up to.

1692
04:53:37.599 --> 04:53:38.599
The birthrights.

1693
04:53:38.599 --> 04:53:39.880
Have been able to just.

1694
04:53:42.520 --> 04:53:57.360
All asleep easily when you choose. And that's a nice feeling.

1695
04:53:58.959 --> 04:54:00.919
Don't you think.

1696
04:54:02.319 --> 04:54:03.439
It's nice? Doesn't?

1697
04:54:03.439 --> 04:54:06.680
It does?

1698
04:54:06.880 --> 04:54:10.439
Feel calm?

1699
04:54:10.680 --> 04:54:15.279
For that healing energy is spreading through your body in

1700
04:54:15.400 --> 04:54:31.439
your mind to spend time a special place where negativity

1701
04:54:32.959 --> 04:54:45.840
can no longer enter. Negativity is bad, It's bad. It's

1702
04:54:45.919 --> 04:54:52.639
not allowed. Intrigue doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to

1703
04:54:52.680 --> 04:55:00.759
be here. It doesn't belong here. Negativity hasn't no place

1704
04:55:01.759 --> 04:55:18.560
in your life, which makes room for more comfort, more heaving,

1705
04:55:20.720 --> 04:55:27.720
more relaxation, more peace.

1706
04:55:44.759 --> 04:55:46.040
It was nice, wasn't that?

1707
04:55:47.919 --> 04:55:48.000
Just?

1708
04:55:51.720 --> 04:55:52.119
Ne go.

1709
04:55:54.159 --> 04:55:56.400
H everything.

1710
04:56:10.080 --> 04:56:13.919
I'm gonna count down now from twenty.

1711
04:56:13.720 --> 04:56:14.479
Down to one.

1712
04:56:17.840 --> 04:56:20.240
He can continue to relax.

1713
04:56:22.400 --> 04:56:24.599
If he cheats, you can.

1714
04:56:27.479 --> 04:56:35.279
Career to sleep. Let renumber.

1715
04:56:36.959 --> 04:56:38.279
He give me say.

1716
04:56:42.360 --> 04:56:45.799
You can fill twice as relaxed.

1717
04:56:48.799 --> 04:56:50.840
Or if he cheat, you can feel.

1718
04:56:51.599 --> 04:57:16.400
Wise a sleeping twenty ninety.

Relax, to allow.

Your mind to slow down, to give.
