00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:11.320
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:17.920
Jason Newland and this is let me pull you to sleep.

3
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.239
Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

4
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:38.280
Blah blah blah. So yeah, it's Sunday, the seventeenth of

5
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:54.079
August two thousand and twenty five. Yeah, it's been I mean,

6
00:00:54.240 --> 00:01:01.000
technically it's been quite a busy week, but really just

7
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:08.079
because of all the recordings I made, but I only

8
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:15.359
made like since Monday, I've only made to let me

9
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:20.680
buoy you to sleep recordings. I didn't do a Q

10
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:26.200
and A Friday this week because or last week? Where

11
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.519
do you want to call it? You know, this previous

12
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:36.000
Friday because I got one question. I know, perhaps I

13
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.040
left it a little bit late to post on the

14
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:45.879
Facebook group, you know, any questions. But maybe I should

15
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.159
just stop doing the Q and A Friday if no

16
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:53.040
one's if there's no more questions, then there's no more answers.

17
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.480
I can't answer questions that are not asked. So yeah,

18
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.439
if you want me to continue to do the Q

19
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.480
and A Friday, then please, I mean, you can send

20
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.919
a question in via my website if you want, and

21
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.280
I'll just add it to a list of questions. Just

22
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.039
let me know it's for this coming Q and A Friday,

23
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.520
and I'll add it because there's a contact form on

24
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:30.000
my website, or you can you know, when I post

25
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.319
any Q and A questions for Q and A Friday

26
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.840
on my Facebook group, which is Jason Newland's Bording group,

27
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:47.159
you can maybe leave a question there as well, or

28
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:53.719
instead of you know whatever. But yeah, I can't. I'm

29
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.960
not going to do it if there's no questions, because

30
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.000
it seems a little bit I mean, there was one question.

31
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.719
I mean, in all fairness, I probably could have made

32
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.479
that one question last for about an hour, but the

33
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:15.280
question really was whether or not I preferred personal questions

34
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:21.800
or non personal questions? And has there been any times

35
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.800
that I haven't answered a question because it was too personal?

36
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.599
So I can kind of answer that here in a

37
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:38.800
sense of generally, I'm open to most questions. If it's

38
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.879
a question that I don't really want to answer, then

39
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:50.400
I will be purposefully vague, I suppose, or I will

40
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.840
distract myself and move on to something else. I don't know,

41
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:03.159
it's I'm not I'm not great with family questions because

42
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.479
that is personal. But also I don't really have much

43
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:16.399
in a way of family to talk about. Really, Yeah,

44
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.560
as long as it's about me, it's fine. I'm okay.

45
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.959
You know, I talk about myself. That's the only thing

46
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.600
I've really got any right to talk about, really, isn't

47
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.800
it in a sense? I mean, you know, I've done

48
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:36.399
a few done some podcasts about step moms and stuff,

49
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.720
but that was all nice things that I talked about.

50
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:46.839
So yeah, generally, if it's about me, that's kind of

51
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.319
what the the Q and a Friday's for. But it

52
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.399
can be about you as well. It could be like

53
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.480
you could ask me my opinion on something. You could

54
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:03.519
ask me because I've been a life for so long.

55
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:11.000
You can ask me about world events maybe that's happened

56
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:17.439
during my lifetime. Asked me about English culture. If you

57
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:28.560
live in another country, you could ask me jobs, places

58
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:41.279
I've lived, girlfriends, hobbies, interests, TV programs that I liked, music,

59
00:05:44.560 --> 00:06:02.279
movies I've seen boom. Yeah. Really, it's I think sometimes

60
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:07.480
I'm better at some of the older stuff because it's

61
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:13.240
something because let's say, if I went to someone slamming

62
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:19.040
the doors downstairs like constantly, and I really don't know

63
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.120
why I've been doing it for about twenty minutes, just

64
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.680
slamming it, well, letting it slam over and over and

65
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.560
over again, which is very sure. I never got a

66
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:36.600
dog dog barking. That's why these recordings are so much

67
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.079
better than hypnosis recordings, because I can't I have to

68
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.839
stop talking. If a dog barks in the background. With

69
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.839
these recordings, all sounds are fine. I mean, maybe not

70
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:57.240
for you, but generally it's in a distance, it's in

71
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:04.079
the background, and it's either make a recording or don't

72
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:13.240
make a recording. Can you hear that? No. One of

73
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.439
the things that starts that dog off and also starts

74
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:22.319
vinnioff and also starts another dog around the corner off

75
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.759
or across the road off is this cat. This lady

76
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:32.120
that lives in a building opposite she's put bells on

77
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.800
her cat's collars. Now, I thought she did it just

78
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.439
to annoy the dogs, but she didn't. She did it

79
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.480
to warn birds. So actually she's done it for a

80
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.199
really nice reason. But the side effect of this particular

81
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:58.639
medication is dogs hear it. I mean he can hear

82
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.680
it in the middle of the night, and he starts

83
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.439
barking sometimes or growling, and I don't know what I

84
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:10.839
look out the window, I can just make out the cat,

85
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.480
and the cat's just standing in the garden staring up

86
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:23.160
at the window. Proper wind up merchant that one. So

87
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:28.560
it's weird, isn't it. It's what she's doing is a

88
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.559
really good thing to have, because I really love birds.

89
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:42.919
But there's always there's a it seems to be a

90
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.200
what do they call that thing? Not a brush off,

91
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:58.799
a playoff the downside, I don't know. Yeah, it's not

92
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.120
a win win situation. It's a win win situation for

93
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.519
the birds, which I'm really pleased about. It's not a

94
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:12.679
win win situation for the cat. So the cat doesn't

95
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.840
get to catch birds, which is good, But a cat

96
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.720
does get to get some pleasure from annoying the dogs,

97
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.799
which I imagine is quite pleasant for it. Now, it's not

98
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.360
a win situation for the dogs, unless, of course, the

99
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:34.879
dogs getting excited. So Vinnie might actually be enjoying barking

100
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.000
when he hears the cat. It's more excitement than anger

101
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:54.559
or anything, so bless him. Yeah, So Uncle's Sausages funeral

102
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.960
has been changed. It was on the toy It's supposed

103
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.200
to be on the twenty first of August, but they

104
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:04.960
haven't got the birth the death certificate yet, so it's

105
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:12.639
been put off till another week. So that was that's weird.

106
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:25.440
The had to get the counseling for the mouse exterminator people.

107
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:31.799
I'm not sure what you call them, animal prevention unit.

108
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:38.360
I don't know, vermin control, something like that, and they

109
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:45.200
came in last Friday and they put down bait, and

110
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.279
they came back this Friday and said that there's nothing

111
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.320
in there. There's no They put stuff in the into

112
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:59.480
the lofts and everything, and there's nothing, no sign, not

113
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:08.320
a single sausage, excuse the pun. And it's all the

114
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:12.519
the residue, all the leftovers from the previous mister there.

115
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:21.879
So it's not Yeah, it's old historic, he said, which

116
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.159
is good. It's not good in a sense, but it's

117
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.919
good obviously for the rest of the building because we

118
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.840
don't want those things running around. But it's not it's

119
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.559
like he was living with all that stuff around and

120
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:44.879
he didn't even know it. So the I'm thinking that

121
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.879
the counts are going to come in and start emptying

122
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:55.440
his place, probably in the next week or so, so

123
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.639
I've still got his key to let them in and

124
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.440
then that'll be the whole process coming and emptying it

125
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:10.320
and painting and all that stuff, and getting a place

126
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:15.679
ready for the next tenant, and a new adventure begins,

127
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:23.679
hopefully a quiet adventure, but we'll see. Yeah I could, really,

128
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.759
I really don't need a new neighbor opposite me.

129
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:28.440
You know.

130
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.759
It's the noisy ones, the ones downstairs, and then there's

131
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.320
a couple, well one's moved out now, but there was

132
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:42.440
a couple that slammed the door continuously downstairs. Now it

133
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:47.240
shakes the building. It's really loud, echoes through the hallway

134
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:52.559
and stuff. And it's one thing downstairs, but here, if

135
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.120
I had the same thing happening opposite me, it's going

136
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:06.519
to be I think it will be disturbable, disturbable, disturbably loud,

137
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.159
and I don't Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that

138
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:15.080
because there seems to be two types of people in

139
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:20.399
this world, those that know how to close doors and

140
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.840
those that don't know how to close doors. I didn't

141
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:31.000
think it'd be too complicated, you know, and so considerate

142
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:36.120
people and inconsiderate people. But I also realized as I

143
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.559
got older, that inconsiderate people aren't actually quite often doing

144
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:47.720
it too be harmful to other people. They're just not thinking.

145
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:52.000
They're just they're just going about their business, going about

146
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.039
their life. They're not even noticing that the doors slamming

147
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:02.000
when they leave, and perhaps not noticing they've got loud

148
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.919
music at night, or you know, they're just they're not

149
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:11.679
doing it purposefully to cause problems. I think some people

150
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:18.639
just they're just not aware of that, or not aware,

151
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:23.080
but not aware that other people are around they can hear.

152
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.960
Maybe they assume that they're everything they can hear is

153
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.720
just for their ears and no one else can hear it.

154
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:40.000
Have you ever seen someone on public transport talking about

155
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:47.320
someone else and they're literally like ten foot away, but

156
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:51.240
that person can hear you. I can hear you, and

157
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:57.440
I'm in the next town. It seems to Yes, it's

158
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:03.159
kind of weird. One no one can hear me. Yeah,

159
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:09.480
they can hear you, you know, when we're not not everybody.

160
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:16.559
But so that would be interesting. I mean, I hope

161
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.720
it will take a while before they get anyone in there,

162
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.720
and I hope when they do, it's not going to

163
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:31.240
be you know, it's going to be a yeah, well,

164
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.240
I hope it's going to be a nice person, that's all.

165
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:43.720
Someone that's idea is someone that's older, someone that's maybe,

166
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.080
but I don't think it really matters about ages. That

167
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:53.279
they're nice, nice and quiet. That'd be nice, Yeah, nice

168
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.559
and quiet. How many people have I had lived here,

169
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.360
not in my flat, but live in this building since

170
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:06.039
I've been here for ten years, ten and a half

171
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:14.759
years now. Oh, so when I moved in, we had

172
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:24.799
her him, him, him, So there was someone when I

173
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:31.720
moved in, there was Uncle's Sausages. He's been here the

174
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:39.679
whole he was here the whole time until recently. And

175
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:43.960
then next to him there was someone that was there

176
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:49.879
for a while and then he moved out, and then

177
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.559
someone else moved in. I didn't realize it was a

178
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.879
different person. But he's been in there for a long time,

179
00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:59.120
and I'll get on really well with him as well,

180
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:09.160
So he's cool. He's about eighty. And then so this

181
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.400
has kind of been the same for a long time,

182
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.119
the last probably eight years. This has pretty much been

183
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:27.640
the same upstairs until now. Downstairs there's someone that's been

184
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:29.240
there the whole time as well as she was here

185
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.680
when I moved in, not below me, but one of

186
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:44.720
the flats downstairs, and then in the other flat next

187
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.000
to the one I was just talking about downstairs. That

188
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:54.079
was where my friend Luke lived, and he was I

189
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:58.160
think he's been there for like two, two or three

190
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.839
years before I moved in, at least a couple of

191
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:08.400
years before I moved in, so, and he was here

192
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:15.519
until what month is it now, August, September, October, November,

193
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.960
so it will be two years in November that he left.

194
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:32.279
Let me shut up. I do wonder if she just

195
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:35.400
the owner of that doctor's prods it to make it

196
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:42.640
bark because it's too quiet and we need noise. Bark.

197
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.279
That's good. I haven't got to think now, just make

198
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:48.200
lot noise.

199
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:49.160
We need noise.

200
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:57.880
So when he left, the counsel came, did their thing

201
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:04.680
and all that stuff. But it did take quite a

202
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:15.759
long time before anyone moved in, so it was a

203
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:25.720
good I don't know if I just got a feeling

204
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:31.240
it was last summer, but maybe kind of April May time,

205
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:37.440
so December, January, February, March April, so at least five

206
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:43.359
or six months before someone moved in there. Yeah, so

207
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:47.400
it wasn't it might have been March April. It was

208
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:51.759
all I know. It's very very sunny, so maybe four

209
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:58.000
or five months, so it's quite that's quite a long time.

210
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.519
I mean, the longer the better. The longer it takes,

211
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:05.279
the better, I think. Not for people that are waiting

212
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:10.279
for housing, obviously, it's not good for them, just for

213
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:20.160
the tenants, you know, just have that little break. That's

214
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:23.720
I don't know, a bit selfish, isn't I suppose. Sorry,

215
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.680
I give myself permission to be selfish once a day,

216
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:38.680
and that was my little selfish moment. So and then

217
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:43.640
so soone moved in there into to Luke's flat about

218
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:50.880
I don't know. I'm sure it's about May, but there

219
00:20:50.960 --> 00:21:03.920
might have been earlier. And then she's moved out already

220
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:06.920
as far as I know, she's moved out a couple

221
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.640
of weeks ago. So that tenant's gone. So there's now

222
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:16.400
another flat empty, but the council haven't come in to

223
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:22.960
refurbish it. So I'm not sure what's going on. All

224
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.960
I know is she moved I've been told that she's

225
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:28.400
moved out.

226
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:33.039
And then.

227
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:38.160
Downstairs, so we've got two flats empty at the moment,

228
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:45.160
but both kind of just been lived in it as

229
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:47.720
it were, you know, so they need to be what

230
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.920
the counts would normally do you know, if there's stuff

231
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:54.960
in there, like there was still some stuff in there

232
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.759
with Luke. They come in and they take all the

233
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:00.680
stuff out and they put it to the back of

234
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:10.839
a like a lorry van thing, you know, those cage vans.

235
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:16.559
And I don't know obviously where you live, I'm not

236
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.480
sure what it's like, but they kind of they use

237
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:25.240
quite often for cutting, like you know, the grass cutters

238
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.319
are doing parks and stuff, and they chuck stuff in

239
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:29.519
the back there. So it's got a cage. It's not

240
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:31.920
it's not got a top on it, but it's got

241
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:35.880
a cage at the side, so then it doesn't you know,

242
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.240
they can open it at the back and put stuff

243
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.119
on and wheel stuff into it. I mean, it's probably

244
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:46.319
used in building sites that kind of things. Well I

245
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:51.119
don't know, but I imagine, well they use that's what

246
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.519
they generally seem to use, so they chuck stuff on there.

247
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:03.319
Then there's a while because I guess the process depends

248
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:08.480
well how quick the process is depends on how many

249
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:15.440
flats need to be done, because they've got limited workers

250
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:20.839
to do it, I imagine. So you know, if suddenly

251
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:26.279
one hundred flats become available, a hundred properties become available

252
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.839
in one month. They're going to struggle to do that

253
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.920
many It's going to take a while, I guess. But

254
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.839
there I don't be honest, I don't really know what

255
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:44.759
the council actually do to the property. I mean, once

256
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:50.039
they take everything out, which they I know, they take

257
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:54.319
the carpet out as well. The only way you get

258
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:57.400
to have a carpet is if you do a council

259
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.599
swap with someone else. So, for example, I'd love to

260
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:09.519
live in Talkie. It's a long way away, but I

261
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:16.480
just think it's beautiful place or maybe something like Cornwall

262
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:22.799
or you know, somewhere that's just nice visually nice with

263
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:28.920
a beach. And yeah, I'm not, I'm not. I mean,

264
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:34.480
this is okay as a base, but it's not. I'm

265
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:43.680
very secluded here and I do like beaches and I've

266
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:46.839
lived on a well, I've lived in towns with beaches

267
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:58.079
three times, including Buttlings. I mean technically, well it's not.

268
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:01.920
Technically there was a beach there, but I think I

269
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:05.640
only went to it twice and it was winter, so

270
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:12.920
it wasn't really I'm pretty sure the beach was. I

271
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:14.880
think that part of the beach might have been private,

272
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.240
just for no, it wouldn't have been private with it.

273
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:25.759
I don't know anyway. I remember I did go there

274
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.440
a couple of times at late at night, and it's

275
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:37.160
very windy, very cold, very rainy. Yeah, I do quite

276
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:39.880
like beaches. I lived in South End when I was

277
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:46.240
a little kid, and back then South End was a

278
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:54.160
very popular place for holiday goes. And I mean it

279
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:59.799
probably I think Blackpool was always the most popular. I think,

280
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:05.200
but I think what happened and I might be I'm

281
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:09.920
partly making this up. Is depending on where you lived

282
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:16.799
in the country, when it came to a holiday, you'd

283
00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:22.640
go to the popular place that's in that part of

284
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:28.319
the country. So if you lived in I suppose Liverpool

285
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:36.279
or Manchester and stuff like that, you perhaps travel to Blackpool.

286
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:42.680
If you lived in London, perhaps you travel to South

287
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:47.559
End or to Clacton. And if you're in Essex, maybe

288
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.400
Clacton or South End because both of those are in

289
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:58.119
South End. So and it's probably the same in other places,

290
00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:04.000
you know where you'd go to a place where there's

291
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:09.240
I was trying to think the East coast Yarmouth. Yarmouth

292
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:13.079
was a very popular place. Yarmouth Beach is one of

293
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:16.160
the nicest beaches I ever went to in this country.

294
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:19.960
It was a long time ago. I went on a

295
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:27.200
school trip. Was this a school trip? Wow? Why's my

296
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:35.559
voice gone sweaky? Why did I go to Yarmouth? I

297
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:45.160
went on a trip with someone, but I don't know

298
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:50.319
why I went. Maybe it was with the see Cadets,

299
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:59.640
or maybe it was a school trip. Might be the

300
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:05.759
school trip, might have been the Cecredets. But I've got

301
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.119
a memory of it, and I think one of the blokes,

302
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:11.839
one of the kids, met a girl while he was there,

303
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:15.559
and he was not in the Cecredets, So I think

304
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:20.119
it was just a school trip and we went to

305
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:25.519
Yarmouth for some reason for the day and stuff like that.

306
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:30.799
It's brilliant and yeah, probably that's what's a memory I

307
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:45.000
forgot about. Yeah. I remember running on the beach and

308
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:49.880
just like the sea coming up and I'm kissing my

309
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:55.319
girlfriend and she's like, we're upset because she's going back.

310
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.519
She's on holidays. She was going back to Australia and

311
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.240
I to go back to school. I wait a minute.

312
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:06.880
As speaking of Greece, no, but there was definitely a beach.

313
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.400
There was a beach. I'll tell you another beach, really lovely,

314
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:17.119
really lower Stuft, So the East Coast if you ever

315
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:21.079
do come to if you live up north, or you

316
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:24.480
live in Scotland or Wales or the middle of the

317
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:30.160
country Norwige, I mean if you if you live in

318
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.839
the South area, you're probably going to know about the

319
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:40.640
East Coast. But there's some really nice beaches here. Now,

320
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.880
I don't think anyone's going to come from Wales to

321
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:49.279
go visiting beaches other parts of the UK because Wales

322
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:52.480
has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

323
00:29:54.480 --> 00:30:02.720
I think I covered myself there. Good. Does Scotland have beaches?

324
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.880
I said, does Scotland have Wales? See? I have been

325
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:10.279
to Scotland, but I was a tiny kid. I think

326
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:15.720
I lived there for a while. I'd like to go. Well,

327
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.039
do I say Scotland. I'd like to go to Scotland.

328
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:21.640
I'd like to It's one of those places like I've

329
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:25.319
been to Wales multiple times over the years. I've been

330
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:27.279
to England. I live in England, but I've been to

331
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:34.079
lots and lots of places in England. I lived in Newcastle,

332
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:39.079
lived in South End, lived in East Anglia, lived in Essex,

333
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:48.359
lived in London. Yes, I lived in the northeast. In

334
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:57.519
the south, I've been to you know, a lot of

335
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:08.160
the places I've been to Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Bolton and

336
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.400
most of the towns in this on the east coast area,

337
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:21.559
you know, all those different like Beccles and Lowest Staffed Yarmouth,

338
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.319
all those places at Norfolk as well. I've been to

339
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:31.599
lots of places in Norfolk over the years in the past,

340
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:43.279
not recently, and I just haven't really as an adult

341
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:45.799
or as a like a because when I was there,

342
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:47.640
I was too young to really know where I was.

343
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:52.640
When I was in Scotland, that is so my oldest

344
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.559
brother said, we lived in Scotland for a while, but

345
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:59.559
I don't recollect it. I don't remember it because I

346
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:02.799
was I might have even been a baby, not a baby,

347
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:06.759
but like two years old or something, which is still

348
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:17.000
a baby, isn't it really? And hmm, I'd like to

349
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.599
go to Scotland just to visit and because I would

350
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:24.319
be a tourist like my dad is literally not literally

351
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:29.359
because there was a while back, but Protty about two

352
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:35.599
months ago for sus yeah, Putty, about two months ago

353
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:40.200
he was in Scotland on holiday and he did a

354
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:46.359
little tour of Scotland, and I'm not sure where he

355
00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:51.960
went because I've got family and well, my ancestry or

356
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.960
down forty eight percent Irish. I am about two percent

357
00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:01.640
Scottish or four percent Scottish, so you know, my Celtic

358
00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:09.799
percentage is quite high Irish and Scottish. And I don't

359
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:17.039
notice any or whales in me now, just god, we

360
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:19.519
have visual would you want? And well? Or well? And

361
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:21.559
you would, but yeah, I don't know if I've got

362
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:28.720
any We're all mixed, and we ultimately there is The

363
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:32.759
idea is that there's a pure breed human out there.

364
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:38.240
Shut up, shut up, doesn't exist, you silly, silly person.

365
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:44.480
I'm pure me. No you're not. Maybe pure of mind,

366
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:48.200
Ma'm a pure breed. No, there's no such thing. There's

367
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:50.960
not even such thing as a pure breed dog, because

368
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:54.720
most dogs have just created. You know, you've got a

369
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:57.319
dog and then you say, Okay, I like this, I

370
00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.559
like this little mixture we've got. Let's make more of

371
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:04.160
just this mixture and we'll call it a pure breed,

372
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:06.880
even though the original wasn't a pure breed. It was

373
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:11.840
just a mixture. No, that's not how it works. Something

374
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:16.360
beside saying, oh is it Jack Russell? And he was

375
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:20.880
the bloke that tried to sell selling many to me.

376
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:25.679
He's a pure breed, you know, I said, okay, and

377
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:28.400
I did a bit of research. Now, Jack Russell's were

378
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:32.920
created on purpose by mixing a bunch of dogs together

379
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:43.280
to create hunters. So it's nothing pure a pounp hair.

380
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:49.440
It's like, you know, it's weird. There's definitely no pure

381
00:34:49.440 --> 00:35:03.199
breed humans. Is that controversal? No, but it's true. Ah. Yeah,

382
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:08.760
So Scotland, I reckon it would be quite a nice

383
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:12.960
place to visit. Wales. I'd like to go back to

384
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:19.239
Wales and visit again. Yeah, I'd like to see the

385
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.280
beaches again, just to see if they are what I remember.

386
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:25.559
I'm going to be smaller than I remember, because I

387
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:28.039
was tiny when I went there, you know, because we

388
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:32.719
used to go camping in Wales every year for quite

389
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:45.760
a few years, and I didn't like camping. I'll be

390
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:50.000
honest with you. I didn't like it. It's just not

391
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:53.760
my I mean, you haven't got to be an adult

392
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:55.840
to know what you do and don't like, have you.

393
00:35:56.039 --> 00:36:01.280
I Mean I knew from the very first time that

394
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.199
I was standing there in the rain, putting a tent up,

395
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:11.159
that I didn't enjoy the process, and that I didn't

396
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:17.000
really want to do it again. And I would say,

397
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:21.079
the only nice thing and this is going to be weird.

398
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:25.920
Actually there's two things. The only I didn't mind sleeping

399
00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:33.679
in a tent, but I didn't like it, however, weird

400
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:38.119
that is. That's what I liked, is laying down in

401
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:43.480
the tent. And because we're in Wales, there's the obligatory

402
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:47.079
rain has to occur. I mean this was in the

403
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:51.400
peak of the season, peak of the summer. Beautiful for beautiful,

404
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:55.840
beautiful weather, but also you know some rain as well

405
00:36:55.840 --> 00:37:02.920
now then, which is why it's such a luscious country.

406
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:09.400
And that sound of the rain on the lid of

407
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:15.840
the tent was just so nice. It was I mean,

408
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:22.519
I don't personally, I probably did get tingles. It was

409
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:29.320
maybe that's my ASMR thing. I just found it very relaxing.

410
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:36.039
But being inside the tent when it was happening. I've

411
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:40.559
always enjoyed hearing rain, unless I have to go out

412
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:46.840
in it, then I don't enjoy it. And wind and weather.

413
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:53.800
I like weather. I'm kind of used to it. If

414
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:57.599
you ever lived, if you lived in this country. All

415
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:09.079
we have is weather. It's just continuous. Yes, So I

416
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:18.880
don't know. I think, yeah, laying down, I don't know

417
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:28.519
where everyone was because there was like what one, two, three, four, five,

418
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:34.039
and myself there was six of us, way too many

419
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:38.480
people to spend time together. But we did. And you know,

420
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:50.000
it was, it was what it was. Can't change it now. Yeah,

421
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:55.280
parts of it were lovely. Is I liked the the

422
00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:03.880
sandy beaches. And because in Wales, like I'm like a

423
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:08.440
tourist guy, don't I If you've never been to Wales

424
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:15.400
and if you thought about all go or not, I'd

425
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:24.760
recommend going, maybe be prepared to travel around because you know,

426
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:27.599
it's not that Wales is a huge area. I mean

427
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:32.239
it's not tiny, but it's still it's there's you know,

428
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:35.719
there's still quite a lot. There's quite a few beautiful beaches.

429
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:47.639
You've got Snowdonia the mountain, and I went up there twice,

430
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:51.159
I think maybe three times. I think it's twice. Went

431
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:54.880
up by train once and went up like walked up

432
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:59.840
to the top. So did the journey. I think it

433
00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:05.559
was twice. Train's a lot quicker, so I wouldn't try

434
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:13.519
and not in a not even in a No, I

435
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.400
wouldn't try and walk up it now. I mean, there

436
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.800
are parts of it that you kind of it's an

437
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:25.599
up hill walk, but it's not steep the whole way.

438
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:28.800
There's parts of it that feel almost flat, and then

439
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:31.679
it sort of gradually, you know, you end up and

440
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:34.360
I think you kind of walk around the thing. I think,

441
00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:42.400
but in my memory it might not be true. But yeah,

442
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.400
not really, not really for me anymore. I would go

443
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:47.039
up by it. I probably. I don't know if i'd

444
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:52.119
even bother going up by train, because I've done it.

445
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:53.639
I did it years ago, I did it when I

446
00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:56.159
was a kid. Wouldn't be that bothered to do it again.

447
00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.199
But if you haven't done it, it's definitely worth it,

448
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:04.719
I would say, because I mean, I don't know about

449
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:06.760
your life, but how often do you get to stand

450
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:12.079
at the top of a mountain? I mean some people would,

451
00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:15.360
I guess every day if you live on a mountain, obviously,

452
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:24.679
but I yeah, it's quite not, yeah, it's quite. Maybe

453
00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:28.039
I would do it again. I'd go by train, and

454
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:32.800
the trains were old, really made of wood, kind of

455
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:46.400
proper old trains. It's like that. And my dad's saying

456
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:49.519
to me, Jason, can you stop that? I said, but

457
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:51.480
it makes fun. It makes it more fun if I

458
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:58.280
had some sound effects. But yeah, I quite liked it. Yeah,

459
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:03.119
that was all right. Also went to some slate places,

460
00:42:03.639 --> 00:42:09.239
so basically just old minds where they used to dig

461
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:12.400
for slate. We did also go to a couple of

462
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:18.800
coal mines, old coal mines, and I think what really

463
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:26.480
surprised me. I don't know why I was surprised, but

464
00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:41.920
how big they are like underneath really, I mean, I

465
00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:45.079
do kind of think that if you're going to build

466
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:48.360
a hole like that, you're going to dig a hole.

467
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:51.760
When you finish, you need to fill the hole in.

468
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:57.360
That seems to be the obvious thing. You don't leave

469
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:02.719
a big, massive whole all in the ground. I'm not

470
00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:09.159
talking about the entrance or the exit. Maybe U class

471
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:12.400
it is the entrance or the exits, probably both, isn't it,

472
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:21.559
But all of the space inside because that's going sideways,

473
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:26.039
and you know there's a lot of ground that's basically

474
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:31.519
underneath the place where people are walking. This big, massive

475
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:41.960
gap of empty space sort of made sense. I don't know,

476
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:49.880
to me do something with that space. I don't know

477
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:59.039
what build, build like a shelter or some kind of

478
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:06.679
I don't know it, you know it just so it's supported.

479
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:11.679
So it's really really well supported for the ground. And

480
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:14.000
you can tell I know, I know nothing about what

481
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:17.880
I'm talking about, but doesn't that sense stopped me before?

482
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:22.440
So why should it stop me now? Hey? Why there's

483
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:35.119
no mauson? So yeah, I'd like to go to Scotland.

484
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:39.920
I'm not sure where though, because I do I'd like

485
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:45.760
to go to Ireland again as well. I mean I'm

486
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:51.000
a sole traveler generally, but if I went to Ireland,

487
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:55.239
it's I could visit a couple of people that I know, well,

488
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:59.079
three people that I know on the whole of the island,

489
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:02.159
including a northern Ireland.

490
00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:03.519
And.

491
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:15.119
That with Scotland i'd quite like to go to. Trying

492
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:19.840
to think of Scottish place they've got. They've got towns

493
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:28.599
in Scotland, don't they. Do you have houses there? Yeah?

494
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.239
I don't know. I just I just like to visit

495
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:38.000
and just have a look around. Really, there's no specific

496
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:48.199
place necessarily. I mean, i'd like to go to Edinburgh,

497
00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:52.840
but i'd like to go during the Edinburgh Festival, so

498
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:59.840
that would be cool. Glasgow is another place i'd like

499
00:45:59.880 --> 00:46:07.159
to visit. Yeah, outside of that, I can't think of

500
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:17.960
any other places. Edinburgh Glasgow, hmm, that probably. I'm not

501
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:21.039
saying that's that's all, but that I guess that there

502
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:26.039
are two of the main places. Glasgow. Just I don't

503
00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:29.360
know is somewhere that I wanted to visit for a

504
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:36.079
long time, Edinburgh, solely because of the Edinburgh Festival, the

505
00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:40.480
Fringe Festival. So where the comedy and stuff is on

506
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:44.679
a I think it's in August. I think it's now. Actually,

507
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:58.760
probably I've not been to the Isle of Wight. Now.

508
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:01.599
I have family on the Eye of White, not that

509
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:05.000
I know. I just I've got like distant relatives that

510
00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:07.360
live there, as I do on the Isle of Man.

511
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:15.920
And well, one of my close relatives, my auntie, used

512
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:18.440
to live on the Isle of Man. She doesn't anymore,

513
00:47:18.840 --> 00:47:21.480
so that's that's not a distant relative that she's my auntie,

514
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:27.519
but she's my daddy's sister or she's my granny's daughter,

515
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:31.920
so her and her daughter lived on the Isle of Man.

516
00:47:33.239 --> 00:47:38.639
The isl of Wit is more distant, distant distant relations

517
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:47.079
sort of my NaN's relatives relatives, and I'd like to

518
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:50.159
visit the Isle of White I think it's best to

519
00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:52.559
be quite a decent place to go, quite a nice place,

520
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:57.440
So maybe go there because these are more like closer places,

521
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:05.159
aren't they, rather than traveling across the world. What about here?

522
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:09.599
About all the places that there are to visit here?

523
00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:16.800
That I could visit here? Yeah, I don't know, just

524
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:22.840
maybe maybe could go and have a look around, have

525
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:30.400
a little wonder. But then you've got lots of islands,

526
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:36.320
haven't you around the local islands like Bergerac you're there,

527
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:43.199
and is Love Sheppy is it? There's some Scottish islands

528
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:50.000
that I could visit, and I think there's like one

529
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:54.480
hundred and twenty one different little islands around the UK.

530
00:48:56.079 --> 00:48:58.119
There's a few, anyway, I don't know if there's that many.

531
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:02.280
I made that up, but there's a few. There's definitely

532
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:08.800
a few islands with small amounts of people, you know,

533
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:13.519
So I think it'd be quite cool to visit some

534
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:17.599
of those places. And again, it's just a ferry, isn't it,

535
00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:23.119
And maybe another boat to take me to the island,

536
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:26.599
as long as I don't have to get in the water,

537
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:32.519
you know, if it's a small boat like from a

538
00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:36.320
ferry or a ship and then a small boat. There

539
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:40.320
needs to be at least a jetty, you know, and

540
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:43.039
someone to help me off the boat. I don't want

541
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:47.199
to be like having to jump in the sea and

542
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:51.960
walk up and get all wet. No, I don't no,

543
00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:55.679
stop asking me to do that. I don't want to.

544
00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:04.360
So yeah, so there's lots of places i'd quite like

545
00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:15.599
to visit in the foreseeable kind of surroundings, I suppose,

546
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:20.480
you know, because none of this is particularly far away.

547
00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:26.559
It's a few hours, a few hours, I mean, the

548
00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:28.400
Isle of Man is quite on the Isle of Wight

549
00:50:28.639 --> 00:50:33.039
is a fair distance because I don't know about the

550
00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:35.719
Isle of White. But with the Isle of Man, i'd

551
00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:40.280
have to go to Liverpool, I think, to get the

552
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:44.920
ferry from there to the Isle of Man. So Liverpool.

553
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:48.440
To get from here to Liverpool is probably about five

554
00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:55.079
hours on a train, if not more, five hours, maybe less,

555
00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:59.679
maybe more, maybe six hours, and then the ferry over.

556
00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:04.159
If I've got a nighttime one's going to take all

557
00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:11.320
night to get there. Daytime daytimes usually travel quicker, don't they,

558
00:51:11.719 --> 00:51:16.800
But at nighttime, and I do like a nighttime journey

559
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:23.639
a nighttime ferry, but I like a daytime fairy as well.

560
00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:28.119
I think there's the benefits of a daytime as you

561
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:30.159
can see, you can go out on the deck and

562
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:35.440
you can see stuff. At night, you can't really see

563
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:43.159
that much, but it is more slow and more relaxed,

564
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:48.000
and there's less people the nighttime. In my experience, I've

565
00:51:48.039 --> 00:51:53.599
done a few nighttime firies over the years, and it's

566
00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:56.480
just less people around in the nighttime. I think the

567
00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:00.239
I guess in the majority of people prefer to travel

568
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:07.639
during the day, especially when it comes to or in

569
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:15.199
the past, going to Belgium, there was a very popular

570
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:20.920
past time for people and they would travel from England

571
00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:28.199
to Belgium or England to France and basically get off

572
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:38.239
the ferry, go to the duty duty free place, buy

573
00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:41.199
lots of alcohol and cigarettes and then get on the

574
00:52:41.239 --> 00:52:44.880
next ferry, back load their lorry not the lowry, load

575
00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:51.360
their van or their car with stuff and pretend that

576
00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:54.880
it was for personal use and then get back and

577
00:52:54.920 --> 00:52:59.559
sell it in the pubs. Now, that was something that

578
00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:03.920
people would did for years and years and years. And

579
00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:05.599
I mean there was a time we didn't even need

580
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:09.719
a passport to go to to go abroad. You could

581
00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:12.840
get like a little part like a day a day passport,

582
00:53:13.239 --> 00:53:18.119
a day pass and because I didn't have my I

583
00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:24.559
went abroad. I didn't get my first passport until nineteen

584
00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:31.559
ninety four, and so before that time I traveled to

585
00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:41.159
Belgium multiple times, to France, and I flew to Spain

586
00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:46.639
and I didn't have a passport, just got a like

587
00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:50.559
a I was just allowed to go, which is a

588
00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:54.159
bit weird because everywhere I have been since then, they've

589
00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:57.960
alway asked to see my passport and this is you know,

590
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:02.119
this is I've well, yeah, I don't think I've left.

591
00:54:03.239 --> 00:54:11.000
Have I left the country since Yeah, it's not to

592
00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:18.599
do with us leaving Europe because a few years back

593
00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:25.119
we we basically put our little sales up and we

594
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:28.639
moved away from Europe. We moved the whole country away,

595
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:35.760
floated away, we did. It's weird, very strange. We actually

596
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:38.920
see the sun moving to the side as we moved.

597
00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:44.440
So yeah, so if you do travel to England, just

598
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:46.400
be aware that we're not in the same place he was.

599
00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:49.920
They haven't changed all the maps because they take ages

600
00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:57.599
and it's expensive. So plus England is such a dot

601
00:54:57.639 --> 00:55:01.119
on the map anyway, you almost miss if it was

602
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:05.000
the scale, so it doesn't really matter of fact that

603
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:13.079
we've moved a few thousand miles. So yeah, well now

604
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:15.360
in China you didn't know that, No, you didn't know

605
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:21.079
it nowhere near Hong Kong. Yeah, so we moved out

606
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:26.639
of Europe a few years ago and the weather's changed.

607
00:55:27.159 --> 00:55:32.360
It's a lot warmer now. Yeah. The thing is the

608
00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:36.679
problem is I didn't they didn't plan it very well

609
00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:40.360
because they managed to get it set, but anchorage there

610
00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:45.039
wasn't enough. Anchorage didn't have enough anchors. So we keep

611
00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:47.239
kind of just you wake up. You never know when

612
00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:49.920
you where you could have ended up. The other day.

613
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:55.559
I was in Spain, woke up, looked out Spain. Three

614
00:55:55.599 --> 00:56:00.760
weeks ago, I was in Somalia. You don't, I don't know.

615
00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:13.239
So yeah, and so this is my Sunday afternoon. Sunday afternoon.

616
00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:20.440
There was a time in England where everything was closed

617
00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:27.639
on a Sunday. I'm talking everything. The only thing opened.

618
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:31.480
Two things are opened as far as for public, okay,

619
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:35.679
other than you know, going out and stuff. You know,

620
00:56:35.719 --> 00:56:38.960
there was still amusements and all those kinds of things

621
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:43.800
were open on the weekends for people and maybe a

622
00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:53.199
Sunday market, but newsagents opened on a Sunday morning and

623
00:56:53.239 --> 00:57:00.719
then on a Sunday lunch time off license could open

624
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:04.079
for about an hour and a half, then they closed,

625
00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:06.039
and then they'd open up. I think they were allowed

626
00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:08.119
to open up in the evening for about an hour

627
00:57:08.119 --> 00:57:12.679
and a half then they close, not one hundred percent

628
00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:16.760
sure that's true. And pubs would be allowed to open

629
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:20.039
up for a short period of time, probably being between

630
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:24.920
eleven and one or eleven and two. The pubs would

631
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:28.400
open and then they'd open again in the evening for

632
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:36.000
about seven till ten or six till ten. They closed.

633
00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:40.360
They close at ten o'clock. That's what that's honestly, that's

634
00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:45.000
what Sundays used to be like in this country. No supermarkets,

635
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:52.079
no anything walking around is just not everyone to be

636
00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:57.880
at home, apart from those that weren't. And it was

637
00:57:57.960 --> 00:58:00.119
kind of like an official day off. I mean, and

638
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:06.159
it's not official, it was that's the reason, wasn't it

639
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:10.360
so that people can have the day off working, So

640
00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:14.360
probably the majority of people in the country wouldn't work

641
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:21.320
on a Sunday.

642
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:22.639
Yeah, a lot.

643
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:36.039
Different back then, and it still was like that when

644
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:41.719
I'm pretty sure, I'm not sure how relaxed things got

645
00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:46.119
but I'm pretty sure it was still like that when

646
00:58:46.159 --> 00:58:49.480
I when I moved to London, because I lived in

647
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:53.119
a small town at that time. Then I moved to London,

648
00:58:54.440 --> 00:59:04.679
and things are different because shops were open. Some shops

649
00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:11.400
were open all the time, like all the time, and

650
00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:14.000
I've never seen that before. Like you could just get

651
00:59:14.039 --> 00:59:18.119
stuff whenever you wanted, any time of the day or night.

652
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:22.239
Not everywhere, but there were places that you could get stuff.

653
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:30.199
And there was when I lived in forest Gate, there

654
00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:36.000
was this little shop right on the corner. Worst shop

655
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:40.320
in the world. It was on the corner and you

656
00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:43.440
had to ring the doorbell for them to let you in.

657
00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:48.639
So it's basically it's almost like they'd converyed their front room,

658
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:57.039
their living room into a shop and it sold groceries, suits,

659
00:59:57.440 --> 01:00:02.360
just bits like that. Yeah, everything was behind the counter,

660
01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:06.360
so you couldn't just take what you wanted and put

661
01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:11.239
it on. They had to get it for you and

662
01:00:11.239 --> 01:00:14.559
you had to ring their doorbell and they would come

663
01:00:14.599 --> 01:00:21.920
and open the door. To me, that was someone that

664
01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:25.599
did not want my money. They did not want to work,

665
01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:29.800
they didn't want to be open. So I just I

666
01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:32.880
wouldn't go there. I'd walk I'd walk two miles away

667
01:00:33.360 --> 01:00:35.719
to get stuff. I just refused to go in there.

668
01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:40.280
I was very young, I was very I was very

669
01:00:40.280 --> 01:00:44.920
political back then, I was very stupid back then. I

670
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:47.920
just it annoyed me because a couple of times I

671
01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:49.360
did try and get in there and they just wouldn't

672
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:55.079
answer the door. We're busy, Come on, I just want

673
01:00:55.079 --> 01:01:00.280
to can of coke. We're busy. Couldn't you just come

674
01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:06.679
I just want one can of coke. We're in bed. Really,

675
01:01:08.079 --> 01:01:09.559
can't you just give me a can of coke?

676
01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:12.679
It's four in the morning. We're going to call the

677
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:14.960
police if you don't go away.

678
01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:21.760
We know where you live, Okay, fair enough. So yeah,

679
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:23.880
I understand they didn't want to open the door four

680
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:31.760
in the morning. But it's I remember when seven eleven opened. Now,

681
01:01:31.800 --> 01:01:40.320
that changed the world in this country because suddenly or

682
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:45.119
they were open, because everything, even during the week everything

683
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:48.440
was closed, you know. I think the pubs had to

684
01:01:48.480 --> 01:01:55.039
be closed by eleven or half ten. I think maybe

685
01:01:55.079 --> 01:01:58.039
they could open a bit later at the weekends. But

686
01:01:58.159 --> 01:02:01.519
the whole kind of being open late late didn't happen

687
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:10.840
till late nineties, I think maybe two thousands. Yeah, wow,

688
01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:16.679
a lot of changes a lot of changes over the years,

689
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:21.159
but seven and eleven that was so good, and I don't

690
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:24.440
know why it didn't. I mean it might still be

691
01:02:24.519 --> 01:02:31.599
around parts of the country, I don't know, probably maybe

692
01:02:31.719 --> 01:02:35.599
in London, if they're all cities, maybe, but it didn't

693
01:02:35.679 --> 01:02:39.159
last very long there and I never understood it because

694
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:43.559
it was the perfect place. They had everything. Everything you

695
01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:46.840
could possibly want in it of an evening. I mean,

696
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:50.840
unless you wanted to buy some underpants or something, then

697
01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:53.599
they didn't have that. If you wanted to buy a

698
01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:57.000
you know, a game of chess, they didn't have that either.

699
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:03.199
You know, a packet of screws. No, didn't have that.

700
01:03:03.559 --> 01:03:11.840
But they had like basic things like biscuits, cakes, drinks, alcohol, cigarettes,

701
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:22.039
and chocolates. I suppose it's like basic. I think they

702
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:25.400
might have had a few basic groceries also, yeah, they

703
01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:28.000
probably did. Yeah, they did have basic groceries, so like

704
01:03:28.119 --> 01:03:32.159
tins of beans and coffee, tea, you know, the kind

705
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:34.599
of stuff that you'd probably find in in any seven

706
01:03:34.639 --> 01:03:42.800
eleven around the world, because there's lots of them. It

707
01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:48.400
was brilliant. I loved it now. I used to go

708
01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:51.639
when it first started. I'd go in there when it

709
01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:55.360
first opened them, I'd say, what time you're closing, They'd

710
01:03:55.360 --> 01:03:58.360
say eleven. I mean to start with, it was like, oh,

711
01:03:58.360 --> 01:04:02.199
eleven o'clock. After the fifteenth time of going in there,

712
01:04:02.840 --> 01:04:07.559
like every day in a row, they said, it's still

713
01:04:07.800 --> 01:04:12.159
eleven o'clock. Then after about three weeks of doing it,

714
01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:18.400
they took me outside and pointed to the sign and

715
01:04:19.159 --> 01:04:21.840
what I think they thought I was making fun of them,

716
01:04:22.039 --> 01:04:26.920
but it wasn't, because I really I drew up seeing

717
01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:31.000
everything close early, like my whole life up to the

718
01:04:31.039 --> 01:04:36.679
age of sixteen, seventeen whatever. It was, everything closed early

719
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:43.920
in the evening on a Sunday, everything, and I just

720
01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:48.719
couldn't believe that something was open late till eleven at night.

721
01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:56.800
It was unheard of. And I kind of because of

722
01:04:56.840 --> 01:04:58.800
the because I was working in a chip shop at

723
01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:03.679
the time, and I didn't finish work till probably ten

724
01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:06.280
half ten sometimes if it was a really busy lot

725
01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:09.480
to do and stuff ten o'clock, I don't know, and

726
01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:12.639
I'd go and check in that because I wanted to

727
01:05:12.639 --> 01:05:15.360
make sure I could go in and get myself maybe

728
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:19.920
some drinks or some chocolate bars or something. So i'd

729
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.440
go in, you know, like earlier in the day, what

730
01:05:22.599 --> 01:05:27.760
time you closing? I'd I'd try and get a like

731
01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:31.719
a different member of staff. I always get the same answer,

732
01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:36.440
eleven o'clock Jason. And so I thought, well, I'm going

733
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:41.239
to start doing is phoning them. So I phoned them up. Now,

734
01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:48.480
if you go somewhere regularly and then you start to

735
01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:52.039
phone them, it's a good idea to put on a

736
01:05:52.039 --> 01:05:54.559
different voice if you can, because they just knew it

737
01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:59.559
as me straight away, because I said to Hi, it's

738
01:05:59.639 --> 01:06:02.280
Jason from the chip shop, what time have you closed today?

739
01:06:03.400 --> 01:06:10.400
Eleven o'clock? Like every other day, it's eleven o'clock seven eleven.

740
01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:14.360
It means seven in the morning to eleven at night,

741
01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:17.440
you know, and seemed to want to know what time

742
01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:24.079
we open. We open at seven. The clues in the sign,

743
01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:31.760
the clues in the name. Thank you for calling Jason.

744
01:06:33.239 --> 01:06:35.239
Now my problem is I should have put on a

745
01:06:35.239 --> 01:06:40.800
different voice. Clearly, Hi, it's Jason from the chip shop.

746
01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:47.159
What time you closing today? See, I just didn't think

747
01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:52.320
on my feet. It was bek a lot easier, but

748
01:06:52.360 --> 01:06:56.840
I just thought it out first, like could do with

749
01:06:56.880 --> 01:07:00.800
these recordings. I mean, you wouldn't believe Eve that I

750
01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:04.800
spend probably six seven hours a day, you know, putting

751
01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:07.320
all this script together what I'm going to say, and

752
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:13.000
you know, practice in for a good two hours before

753
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:20.239
I start the recording, and then it sounds so natural. Wow.

754
01:07:20.400 --> 01:07:24.719
Can you imagine if I did that? Well, yeah, you

755
01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:29.719
can imagine, because it'd probably be really well presented instead

756
01:07:29.719 --> 01:07:34.880
of this whatever it is that I do. But this

757
01:07:35.119 --> 01:07:39.800
is what you get. This is me. My name's Jason

758
01:07:40.920 --> 01:07:48.440
l la la la la l l L. So yeah,

759
01:07:48.840 --> 01:07:51.280
that's it. Really, it's me talking about Sundays and what

760
01:07:51.400 --> 01:07:57.639
I had. The church used to be open on a

761
01:07:57.679 --> 01:08:01.840
Sunday evening, I think it did. I know it used

762
01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:06.719
to be opening on a Sunday morning because I would

763
01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:09.920
often go to church with my nan. Were often, but

764
01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:12.880
quite a fair few times I'd go to church for

765
01:08:13.039 --> 01:08:20.159
my nan when I was a teenager sort of six fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, whatever,

766
01:08:21.439 --> 01:08:27.359
and then we'd go and because there'd be a coffee place,

767
01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:29.800
so there'd be a place you could get some coffee

768
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:32.199
or was that during the week. That might have been

769
01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:36.600
on a Wednesday. Maybe if she went to church on

770
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:38.359
a Wednesday and I'd go to church with her.

771
01:08:38.319 --> 01:08:38.640
Then.

772
01:08:40.039 --> 01:08:48.880
Maybe it was a Sunday. I'm not sure. Maybe it

773
01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:51.600
was a Sunday. We'd go and get a cup of

774
01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:58.479
tea and a cake, and then I think we'd walk back.

775
01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:02.119
There wasn't a cute, huge walker. This is a fair distance,

776
01:09:02.199 --> 01:09:06.840
but it wasn't a huge walk. Or maybe my dad

777
01:09:06.840 --> 01:09:11.319
would come and pick her up. I don't know. I

778
01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:21.520
don't remember exactly how much of this is true. I

779
01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:26.079
did used to go to quite yeah, quite a few times.

780
01:09:26.119 --> 01:09:31.119
I went to midnight Mass with her at midnight, but

781
01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:34.560
then they also had an early midnight mass for people

782
01:09:34.560 --> 01:09:40.039
that couldn't get there, you know, for midnight, which makes sense.

783
01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:43.079
It doesn't make sense the way I said it, but

784
01:09:44.199 --> 01:09:50.079
some people and it wasn't you know, walking around at

785
01:09:50.119 --> 01:09:54.039
midnight wasn't really ideal. So they did like an early

786
01:09:54.079 --> 01:09:57.359
one at about seven or eight in the evening, and

787
01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:04.880
once one day got a bit older, i'd probably say

788
01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:13.920
from yeah, the last twenty years, No, the last two

789
01:10:13.960 --> 01:10:27.079
thousand and four two four, wow, the last ten years. No,

790
01:10:27.319 --> 01:10:29.840
because that's the thing because after two thousand and four,

791
01:10:31.159 --> 01:10:33.279
because I went to midnight mess with her, but it

792
01:10:33.399 --> 01:10:37.560
was early one. It was about eight o'clock, so I know

793
01:10:37.640 --> 01:10:42.760
my auntie was there, and she wanted to go to

794
01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:45.840
her church because she my name's a Catholic and she

795
01:10:46.000 --> 01:10:48.880
had her own church that she wanted to go to,

796
01:10:49.000 --> 01:10:51.960
So I'm not sure what it was that she went to,

797
01:10:53.840 --> 01:10:55.479
and she wanted to go to there as well to

798
01:10:55.520 --> 01:11:03.319
do the actual midnight service. And it's still one of

799
01:11:03.399 --> 01:11:07.239
my favorite Christmases as an adult. Two thousand and four.

800
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:12.159
It's weird, but there's something special about it to me.

801
01:11:13.279 --> 01:11:18.239
And I was staying at my nun's house in the

802
01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:20.600
spare room, the room that I used to have for

803
01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:25.760
myself when I was eight years old. I'm my own bedroom.

804
01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:28.479
It was brilliant, and I was back sleeping in there.

805
01:11:30.279 --> 01:11:33.840
My aunt and uncle were in the other room, which

806
01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:38.039
was that's where my two brothers used to sleep in

807
01:11:38.079 --> 01:11:43.199
bunk beds. And in my nun's bedroom was where my

808
01:11:44.199 --> 01:11:47.760
parents used to sleep and that's where her and her husband,

809
01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:55.760
my granddad, that was their room from nineteen seventy nine,

810
01:11:56.800 --> 01:12:01.439
you know, onwards. So I had that room for about

811
01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:04.600
a year, my little room, but I wasn't there for

812
01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:06.560
a year in two thousand and four, just there for

813
01:12:06.640 --> 01:12:11.399
one night, probably two or three nights. So because I

814
01:12:11.439 --> 01:12:13.359
was living in a different town. So I come over

815
01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:20.199
probably Christmas Eve because I was working. Yeah, I was working.

816
01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:25.000
So I come over Christmas Eve, I go out to

817
01:12:29.039 --> 01:12:32.000
I go out to church to midnight Mass, but it's

818
01:12:32.039 --> 01:12:35.039
early with my nan because she couldn't have said she

819
01:12:35.039 --> 01:12:37.239
couldn't go to the late one. It was too late

820
01:12:37.279 --> 01:12:41.600
for by that time because she was you know, she

821
01:12:41.760 --> 01:12:47.319
had like a disability because of her hip and stuff,

822
01:12:48.079 --> 01:12:51.439
so she needed a walk and stick and stuff, so

823
01:12:51.560 --> 01:12:54.720
you know, walking around at night wasn't really ideal. Although

824
01:12:54.760 --> 01:12:58.800
she would have got a lift, you know. And then

825
01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:06.199
I say she would have got She did get a lift,

826
01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:07.680
but she would have got a lift back if it

827
01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:11.279
was late anyway, So she got a lift anyway. So

828
01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:16.399
we went up with my aunt and uncle, and then

829
01:13:16.439 --> 01:13:19.279
we came back and my aunt and uncle my Auntie

830
01:13:19.359 --> 01:13:22.000
wanted to go to the other thing, but I don't

831
01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:24.039
think they went in the end because they spent too

832
01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:26.239
much time talking about it and discussed with we not

833
01:13:26.319 --> 01:13:30.119
to go. And by that time it was Boxing day

834
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:34.520
by the time I finished, and my AUNTI did something

835
01:13:34.640 --> 01:13:38.680
that I've never done before, or she's sort of introduced

836
01:13:38.680 --> 01:13:43.960
a new, a new Christmas Eve thing. So she went

837
01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:46.640
and she got some presents off the tree and gave

838
01:13:46.680 --> 01:13:49.279
me a present Christmas Eve.

839
01:13:49.800 --> 01:13:54.359
I said, but Auntie, it's Christmas Eve. It's not time

840
01:13:54.399 --> 01:13:58.720
for presents. That's supposed to be on Christmas Day.

841
01:13:59.520 --> 01:14:04.000
Sure, she said, no, we give presents Christmas Eve. It's

842
01:14:04.039 --> 01:14:07.199
just one present off the tree. It's just something we

843
01:14:07.319 --> 01:14:07.960
do every year.

844
01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:12.520
But how's father Christmas delivered him if he hasn't been yet?

845
01:14:13.239 --> 01:14:17.199
She said, you're thirty four years old. Shut up, Like, Wow,

846
01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:26.199
it's a bit harsh, isn't it. So she's It was

847
01:14:26.239 --> 01:14:29.880
just sweets. Basically, it was like candy you would call

848
01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:33.479
it maybe if you call it that in your country.

849
01:14:33.520 --> 01:14:39.560
But the thing is, I hadn't had any chocolate since

850
01:14:39.600 --> 01:14:47.600
the summer, so I'd lost a lot of weight on

851
01:14:47.720 --> 01:14:51.079
purpose because I kind of I needed to get fitter.

852
01:14:51.199 --> 01:14:54.760
So during the Dune two thousand and four, I kind

853
01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:58.960
of got myself nice and physically fit. I was working

854
01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:05.840
on the mental fitness as well. And I hadn't had

855
01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:12.880
any chocolate since the summer. So we're talking what July, August, September, October,

856
01:15:12.920 --> 01:15:18.079
November for at least four or five months. So Christmas Eve,

857
01:15:18.239 --> 01:15:21.319
I'm here with these and it was one of those

858
01:15:21.520 --> 01:15:28.319
chocolate things that sparkle on your tongue, and I was

859
01:15:28.880 --> 01:15:33.520
just it was heavenly. It was a pleasure that I

860
01:15:33.600 --> 01:15:42.279
just didn't realize I needed. It was so nice. Oh

861
01:15:43.800 --> 01:15:46.199
and it was like being a kid again. It was

862
01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:52.680
just really because I remember. I'll tell you one of

863
01:15:52.720 --> 01:15:59.000
the benefits of being of my childhood is a lot

864
01:15:59.039 --> 01:16:01.119
of the nice stuff happened when I was I know,

865
01:16:01.159 --> 01:16:03.960
it's good to have nice stuff happen when you're young,

866
01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:06.960
when you're really young. But one of the benefits of

867
01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:09.439
it happened when it happens for the first time when

868
01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:12.880
you're kind of seven or eight, is I can still

869
01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:17.399
remember it now, so certain things like chocolate that I'd

870
01:16:17.399 --> 01:16:22.560
never eaten before, or riding my first bike. You know,

871
01:16:22.800 --> 01:16:24.640
a lot of kids had their first bike when they

872
01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:28.439
had had two, three, four, you know, So my first

873
01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:32.000
bike was when I was just four A was what seven?

874
01:16:32.039 --> 01:16:35.640
I think I was, Yeah, I was seven, So I

875
01:16:35.680 --> 01:16:41.840
remember that. So it's quite nice to have those little memories. Now.

876
01:16:41.880 --> 01:16:45.119
I wasn't four in two thousand and four or seven

877
01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:49.439
in two thousand and four, but it was a little

878
01:16:49.439 --> 01:16:51.920
bit like that. It's like, Okay, this is nice, this

879
01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:55.239
is like a It's not that I'd never had it before.

880
01:16:55.399 --> 01:16:59.359
It it was almost like for the first time because

881
01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:04.760
I'd gone five months about any chocolate, And trust me,

882
01:17:05.000 --> 01:17:08.159
that was a long time for me back then to

883
01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:10.520
go about chocolate. I've always been a little bit of

884
01:17:10.520 --> 01:17:17.199
a chocolate e person. It's part of the culture in

885
01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:21.880
this country, eating chocolate, sugar, all that stuff. It's part

886
01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:30.600
of the national pastime, part of my national identity. Stuff

887
01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:42.000
myself full of sugar. Mmmmmm. So yeah, that was just

888
01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:45.319
a really that was a nice Christmas. Actually, so I

889
01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:47.520
got to see my nan, got to see me Uncle

890
01:17:47.520 --> 01:17:50.479
an ant got to see me Dad and that side

891
01:17:50.520 --> 01:17:53.479
of the family because I went there for Christmas dinner

892
01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:57.119
and then went back to my NaN's in the evening

893
01:17:57.880 --> 01:18:01.920
and then had Boxing Day with my nan and Christmas

894
01:18:01.960 --> 01:18:05.800
dinner and Boxing Day dinner. So yeah, it was cool.

895
01:18:07.079 --> 01:18:09.600
That was a nice Christmas. I mean, it's not the

896
01:18:09.600 --> 01:18:13.319
only Christmas I spent at my nun's, but is the

897
01:18:13.359 --> 01:18:18.600
most memorable one. Yeah, there was another Christmas I spent

898
01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:24.199
there in My NaN's brother was there, Uncle Antony, and

899
01:18:25.039 --> 01:18:29.000
he was I think he was a little bit younger

900
01:18:29.039 --> 01:18:32.359
than her. He was a younger brother by probably about

901
01:18:32.399 --> 01:18:41.439
four years, three or four years, and maybe maybe older brother.

902
01:18:41.479 --> 01:18:41.840
I don't know.

903
01:18:41.880 --> 01:18:45.720
I think younger brother. I think I might be wrong,

904
01:18:47.279 --> 01:18:51.359
but marginally younger. I think she had about twelve brothers

905
01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:52.479
and sisters my name.

906
01:18:53.840 --> 01:18:54.239
And.

907
01:18:56.680 --> 01:19:01.119
He it was funny. It was not funny funny, but

908
01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:04.640
he'd watched the TV downstairs and he'd have it on

909
01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:10.399
so loud. I literally was just there all night try

910
01:19:10.840 --> 01:19:15.079
I struggled to sleep because the TV was blaring out

911
01:19:15.239 --> 01:19:17.800
because he couldn't hear it. It's as simple as that

912
01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:21.079
wasn't what he wasn't being inconsiderate. He just couldn't hear

913
01:19:21.119 --> 01:19:24.680
the TV, so you had to turn it up in

914
01:19:24.800 --> 01:19:28.119
order to hear it. And I think my men went

915
01:19:28.199 --> 01:19:33.159
down there and told him off because she was concerned

916
01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:37.640
about the neighbors, because she always had a really good

917
01:19:37.680 --> 01:19:42.039
relationship with the next door neighbor, him and his family

918
01:19:42.600 --> 01:19:45.800
or the couple and their family. And it was still

919
01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:47.920
it was the same next door neighbor that they had

920
01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:51.600
that we had when we lived there before they moved in,

921
01:19:52.720 --> 01:19:57.640
and we kept I say we, I and my family

922
01:19:57.800 --> 01:20:03.079
was still in contact with that next door I mean

923
01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:09.119
I was still in contact with that family. I was

924
01:20:09.159 --> 01:20:16.119
still visiting, going around there in nineteen ninety. In fact, no,

925
01:20:16.279 --> 01:20:19.640
I was still going around there. Wow, I was still

926
01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:22.359
going around there in the early nineties. When i'd visit.

927
01:20:22.399 --> 01:20:25.039
I still go in there because I was friends with

928
01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:28.319
a boy and I really liked the girl. I was

929
01:20:28.359 --> 01:20:31.840
friends with her as well, and I got on well

930
01:20:31.920 --> 01:20:34.199
with the parents because I've known her since I was

931
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:37.600
seven or eight years old, seven and a half eight,

932
01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:42.199
so they'd known me kind of almost all my life

933
01:20:42.199 --> 01:20:45.880
in a way, you think, from seven and a half

934
01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:54.279
to twenty twenty one, twenty two whatever, that's a long time.

935
01:20:56.279 --> 01:21:00.640
And they lived there and they loved my well, I

936
01:21:00.720 --> 01:21:03.199
love my nanny granddad, but you know, they looked out

937
01:21:03.239 --> 01:21:06.800
for my nan when she lived there on her own,

938
01:21:06.960 --> 01:21:15.319
and really nice people. And it's weird. It's like, I

939
01:21:15.399 --> 01:21:17.000
don't want to sort of say too much, but I

940
01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:22.119
don't even know what this situation is anymore. But the

941
01:21:22.479 --> 01:21:26.880
lady that lived there was a nurse. I'm not sure

942
01:21:26.880 --> 01:21:28.880
what a husband did. I think he might have worked

943
01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:35.439
on the docks. And I was at school with both

944
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:38.800
the kids. So I was at school with the boy

945
01:21:39.439 --> 01:21:42.039
who was the same age as my brother, my first

946
01:21:42.079 --> 01:21:55.880
older brother, and then his sister, who was probably two

947
01:21:55.960 --> 01:22:02.079
years younger than me, maybe three years, two years probably,

948
01:22:02.199 --> 01:22:04.840
I don't know. I kind of noticed her when I

949
01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:08.560
was twenty. I knew her, but I kind of like,

950
01:22:08.720 --> 01:22:14.760
suddenly it was weird because she was very beautiful, that's

951
01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:21.640
not the weird part. But she had a birthmark on

952
01:22:21.680 --> 01:22:25.920
her face, which did not take away her beauty, you

953
01:22:25.960 --> 01:22:28.079
know what I mean. She was a very beautiful face,

954
01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:32.479
and I always liked it, write from when I was

955
01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:35.640
a kid, because she's, you know, only marginally younger than me.

956
01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:40.319
So I always liked her as a because when I

957
01:22:40.359 --> 01:22:42.239
was I don't know, when I was ten, she was eight,

958
01:22:42.319 --> 01:22:46.359
you know. But she had it removed. She had the

959
01:22:46.399 --> 01:22:49.960
birthmark removed, and it was just like a brown birthmark

960
01:22:50.079 --> 01:22:59.600
or something. It changed her personality. So I'm not saying

961
01:22:59.640 --> 01:23:03.800
she's being sweet, because she was a very sweet girl.

962
01:23:03.960 --> 01:23:07.720
She she was still sweet in her own way, but

963
01:23:08.560 --> 01:23:17.039
she became very confident and she enjoyed all the attention

964
01:23:17.840 --> 01:23:21.600
that she was getting from the boys, which is natural.

965
01:23:23.560 --> 01:23:28.279
But to me, she didn't look any different really. I mean,

966
01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:31.840
it's only because she told me that she'd had it

967
01:23:31.880 --> 01:23:36.399
removed that I really noticed it. Because you know, I said,

968
01:23:36.399 --> 01:23:38.640
I've known her for a long long time, a long

969
01:23:38.680 --> 01:23:47.479
long time. And it's weird because I remember her because

970
01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:51.079
there was like four years between her and her oldest brother.

971
01:23:51.920 --> 01:23:55.840
She her oldest her oldest brother's friends would come round

972
01:23:57.039 --> 01:24:01.479
and I remember her saying, oh, can I come with you?

973
01:24:02.119 --> 01:24:04.399
Because they'd all go out, and she said, no, go away,

974
01:24:04.840 --> 01:24:07.720
because I didn't want this little girl coming around. He

975
01:24:07.760 --> 01:24:11.800
didn't want her pestuing them. And the other his friends

976
01:24:11.840 --> 01:24:14.119
would say go away, go away. They didn't want a

977
01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:19.960
pest in them. And then when she was about fifteen sixteen,

978
01:24:22.880 --> 01:24:26.880
they didn't seem to mind her hanging around anymore. And

979
01:24:30.079 --> 01:24:34.159
I remember when I think she's about seventeen or eighteen,

980
01:24:34.359 --> 01:24:39.840
and there was literally a cue of men or boys

981
01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:46.359
trying to win her heart. It was seriously like knocking

982
01:24:46.399 --> 01:24:50.279
on the door and following her around like little puppies.

983
01:24:51.680 --> 01:24:58.079
It was very funny, and that boost of confidence. I mean,

984
01:24:58.119 --> 01:25:05.359
that would have been happening any way. But I guess

985
01:25:05.600 --> 01:25:17.800
the that personality change just from having one like Mark removed.

986
01:25:18.079 --> 01:25:27.039
One thing changed which made her feel different. And there's

987
01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:31.720
a whole book called cybernetics. It's cybernetics it's a very

988
01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:38.079
famous book about a plastic surgeon, and he's written by

989
01:25:38.079 --> 01:25:42.439
a plastic surgeon, and he noticed that the personality changes

990
01:25:42.479 --> 01:25:46.960
in people that had work done, and how it was.

991
01:25:48.560 --> 01:25:55.920
He couldn't believe the transformation. It could have not on

992
01:25:55.960 --> 01:25:59.520
someone's appearance, because that wouldn't surprise him because that's what

993
01:25:59.520 --> 01:26:01.800
he did for a lot. But he was surprised at

994
01:26:01.840 --> 01:26:07.279
the transformation and personality, and he wrote a whole book

995
01:26:07.319 --> 01:26:11.000
about it, Cybernetics, and I used to have it. I've

996
01:26:11.239 --> 01:26:14.640
read it a few times, and it's quite a big

997
01:26:14.720 --> 01:26:22.159
book in the self help like literature library thing. It's cybernetics,

998
01:26:22.239 --> 01:26:27.560
cyber cybernetics, something like that. Yeah, it's a good book.

999
01:26:29.000 --> 01:26:32.039
It's very interesting. I mean, it kind of makes sense.

1000
01:26:32.119 --> 01:26:42.079
But at the same time, it's like, really, maybe maybe

1001
01:26:42.079 --> 01:26:45.560
that's what I should have done. Maybe if I had

1002
01:26:45.560 --> 01:26:54.520
a bit of surgery, I could increase my confidence, have

1003
01:26:54.640 --> 01:26:57.680
it shortened or something. You know, it's just too big.

1004
01:26:58.159 --> 01:27:02.239
I don't know, just to have my nose. Yeah, but

1005
01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:12.760
I don't know. Maybe I don't know what i'd have

1006
01:27:12.800 --> 01:27:14.680
to as there's a few things I could probably do.

1007
01:27:19.960 --> 01:27:21.520
In fact, I'm pretty sure if I went to a

1008
01:27:21.520 --> 01:27:28.560
plastic surgeon and said, just list all the things that

1009
01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:36.000
I need doing. Would be there for a while. You'd

1010
01:27:36.039 --> 01:27:38.439
have to cancel all his clients for about a week

1011
01:27:39.039 --> 01:27:40.840
just so he could list off all the things that

1012
01:27:40.880 --> 01:27:48.159
I needed doing. Probably, but I won't be having anything.

1013
01:27:49.279 --> 01:27:51.520
I don't think i'll have anything done in the future.

1014
01:27:55.640 --> 01:28:01.600
I don't know. Yeah, I could have done in the

1015
01:28:01.640 --> 01:28:05.920
past if I wanted to, didn't really. I guess the

1016
01:28:05.960 --> 01:28:11.439
way I see it is take me for what I am,

1017
01:28:12.119 --> 01:28:17.640
take me for how I am. And I'm not going

1018
01:28:17.680 --> 01:28:22.880
to wear, you know, tall shoes to make myself look taller.

1019
01:28:23.720 --> 01:28:27.720
I'm not going to dye my hair to pretend that

1020
01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:31.319
I'm not going gray. I'm not going to get a

1021
01:28:31.399 --> 01:28:37.199
hair transplant in my bald spots. Not there's anything wrong

1022
01:28:37.199 --> 01:28:38.960
with doing any of those things, but I'm just not

1023
01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:43.399
going to do any of that stuff. And I'm not

1024
01:28:43.439 --> 01:28:50.039
going to pretend I'm a different age. Things I can do,

1025
01:28:50.680 --> 01:28:58.720
I suppose practical logical things is take better care of myself,

1026
01:28:59.520 --> 01:29:08.800
eat a better diet, exercise more. Yeah, those kinds of things.

1027
01:29:10.439 --> 01:29:19.039
Basic stuff, really, isn't it. But I found that one

1028
01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:26.880
way it's a shortcut with dieting wear bigger clothes. Seriously,

1029
01:29:26.920 --> 01:29:30.239
if you wear bigger tops, really like large tops, extra

1030
01:29:30.279 --> 01:29:35.680
extra extra large, almost looks like you've lost weight. It works.

1031
01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:42.239
I do it. I literally do that now, although some

1032
01:29:42.319 --> 01:29:44.960
of my tops are just a bit bagger, because I

1033
01:29:45.000 --> 01:29:49.680
have actually lost weight, not recently, but last year I did.

1034
01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:53.600
I lost the stone and I haven't put it back

1035
01:29:53.640 --> 01:29:57.439
on because I stopped having sugar in my tea and

1036
01:29:57.600 --> 01:29:59.960
I cut down. I stopped having I didn't don't drink

1037
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:07.680
hook anymore, and I have minimum minimum amount chocolate. I

1038
01:30:07.760 --> 01:30:16.680
used to eat chocolate every single day. So yeah, and

1039
01:30:16.760 --> 01:30:25.199
that I do believe. Laddies and gentlemen is the end

1040
01:30:25.439 --> 01:30:27.960
of this recording.

1041
01:30:29.039 --> 01:30:30.920
Me me, me, me, me.

1042
01:30:32.479 --> 01:30:36.640
So thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to

1043
01:30:36.680 --> 01:30:41.680
yourself because you do deserve to be happy and be

1044
01:30:41.760 --> 01:30:48.880
gentle of yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots of love.

1045
01:30:51.800 --> 01:30:57.399
Bye.

1046
01:30:58.039 --> 01:31:12.640
Relax in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in

1047
01:31:12.680 --> 01:31:18.239
a way that can not just allow you to feel

1048
01:31:19.600 --> 01:31:28.840
calmer now and throughout the time we spend together here,

1049
01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:36.560
not just relaxed at the end of the recording when

1050
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:43.239
it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort

1051
01:31:43.399 --> 01:31:58.319
and peace, but also I think it would be nice

1052
01:31:58.439 --> 01:32:18.239
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after

1053
01:32:18.319 --> 01:32:28.880
the recording has ended, so that you can still benefit

1054
01:32:31.760 --> 01:32:39.039
from listening to my voice, maybe in a few hours time,

1055
01:32:40.960 --> 01:32:54.439
perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially if you

1056
01:32:54.600 --> 01:32:59.279
find like some people do and myself as well. I

1057
01:32:59.359 --> 01:33:06.159
sometimes I've find one particular recording that really resonates with me,

1058
01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:13.000
and I just listened to it over and over again

1059
01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:28.199
every morning, every evening. There was this recording from We're

1060
01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:32.880
going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It was it

1061
01:33:32.920 --> 01:33:37.960
wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It kind

1062
01:33:37.960 --> 01:33:45.079
of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to find it

1063
01:33:45.159 --> 01:33:49.039
again and it still has the same effect on me,

1064
01:33:51.640 --> 01:34:01.399
And part of it was the person's voice relaxed me,

1065
01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:12.039
just felt so peaceful, and I'd look forward to listening

1066
01:34:12.600 --> 01:34:24.840
to her in the morning and in the evening. And

1067
01:34:25.039 --> 01:34:34.159
I knew before even pressing the play button that since

1068
01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:38.640
I'd done that pressed the play button. This is in

1069
01:34:38.680 --> 01:34:53.079
the days of CD players, pressed the play button, if

1070
01:34:53.119 --> 01:34:55.800
that it might have even been a tape tape recorder.

1071
01:34:57.079 --> 01:35:05.439
I'd lie down on the bed and then even without

1072
01:35:05.960 --> 01:35:18.960
necessarily listening to her words, because I had them memorized. Really,

1073
01:35:23.600 --> 01:35:29.600
it was as if my body knew exactly what to do,

1074
01:35:34.399 --> 01:35:56.239
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and

1075
01:35:56.359 --> 01:36:10.359
I remember my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I

1076
01:36:10.399 --> 01:36:16.640
was listening to this recording in the early days of

1077
01:36:16.760 --> 01:36:27.439
learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made any videos

1078
01:36:27.560 --> 01:36:32.279
or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that

1079
01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:46.239
till two thousand and six. But I knew, I knew

1080
01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:59.319
how helpful I found being able to just let go,

1081
01:37:02.319 --> 01:37:07.720
to have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

1082
01:37:15.399 --> 01:37:23.439
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if

1083
01:37:23.560 --> 01:37:32.920
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you

1084
01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:44.640
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

1085
01:37:44.720 --> 01:37:58.640
me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not

1086
01:37:58.640 --> 01:38:04.960
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

1087
01:38:06.800 --> 01:38:21.880
Some people maybe listen every day. That's something that I

1088
01:38:21.920 --> 01:38:37.920
do which you may not realize by listening, is when

1089
01:38:38.199 --> 01:38:53.680
I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also am

1090
01:38:53.920 --> 01:39:07.760
affected by the words that I say. So if I

1091
01:39:07.760 --> 01:39:15.119
said to you, focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,

1092
01:39:18.600 --> 01:39:26.520
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be

1093
01:39:26.640 --> 01:39:44.199
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your

1094
01:39:44.279 --> 01:39:56.479
hands and maybe notice the difference between each hand. Perhaps

1095
01:39:56.520 --> 01:40:03.239
notice the the in the room, the temperature of the room.

1096
01:40:05.079 --> 01:40:15.479
On the backs of your hands. You may start to

1097
01:40:16.039 --> 01:40:24.119
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even

1098
01:40:24.159 --> 01:40:28.399
though there may not be any type of breeze at

1099
01:40:28.439 --> 01:40:41.439
all where you are right now. And as you become

1100
01:40:42.079 --> 01:40:56.439
aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed

1101
01:40:56.760 --> 01:41:20.520
my hands our feeling now and when it comes to

1102
01:41:22.039 --> 01:41:28.079
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason

1103
01:41:28.399 --> 01:41:44.720
you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.

1104
01:41:49.359 --> 01:42:05.960
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times

1105
01:42:07.840 --> 01:42:22.000
I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I

1106
01:42:22.159 --> 01:42:33.479
carry on talking. And it's only when I listen back

1107
01:42:33.680 --> 01:42:42.680
to do the editing I hear snoring and I think,

1108
01:42:43.079 --> 01:42:53.279
I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. This snoring was

1109
01:42:53.840 --> 01:43:00.079
a pig turned up. That's why I sound like on

1110
01:43:00.199 --> 01:43:11.119
a snow How I get really into the whole experience,

1111
01:43:19.039 --> 01:43:28.079
I don't know how you feel. How relaxed do you

1112
01:43:28.199 --> 01:43:39.119
feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands.

1113
01:43:54.199 --> 01:44:06.439
I have noticed more and more that the more relaxed,

1114
01:44:08.159 --> 01:44:25.960
deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.

1115
01:44:30.520 --> 01:44:47.199
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows

1116
01:44:47.279 --> 01:45:18.359
you the breath easier without necessarily focusing on your breath, however,

1117
01:45:18.600 --> 01:45:47.399
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

1118
01:45:47.560 --> 01:46:37.439
so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever

1119
01:46:37.520 --> 01:46:55.880
I imagine my breathing improving. When I've got my eyes closed,

1120
01:47:01.880 --> 01:47:14.800
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

1121
01:47:15.000 --> 01:47:55.439
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice too,

1122
01:47:57.039 --> 01:48:16.000
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

1123
01:48:27.279 --> 01:48:59.760
enjoying that feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart.

1124
01:49:25.199 --> 01:49:50.680
Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

1125
01:49:56.560 --> 01:50:35.720
so deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

1126
01:50:35.880 --> 01:51:46.159
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.

1127
01:51:48.560 --> 01:52:35.279
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

1128
01:52:35.520 --> 01:52:51.560
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip

1129
01:52:52.399 --> 01:53:12.199
out of your body, reappearing out of every part of

1130
01:53:12.359 --> 01:53:47.199
your body, being released from your brain in your mind.

1131
01:53:56.000 --> 01:54:45.479
Slowly but surely, the muscle sing legs relax x so

1132
01:54:45.920 --> 01:55:26.079
very deep thing rex so deeply, and the feelings, the

1133
01:55:26.279 --> 01:55:51.600
pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders, deepening each part

1134
01:55:51.720 --> 01:56:20.920
of your body further and deeper and deeper. M mhm.

1135
01:56:28.720 --> 01:56:58.359
Noticing the feelings in the back of your neck, the

1136
01:56:58.560 --> 01:57:39.000
feelings in your rear, vests, muscles, in front of your body,

1137
01:57:48.119 --> 01:58:31.439
I all say, feeling peace, for deeply there's a sense

1138
01:58:31.560 --> 01:59:12.840
of peace spreads through your fairy core. Even when you

1139
01:59:15.800 --> 01:59:40.680
focus on your mind, your mind becomes eve and slower,

1140
01:59:56.479 --> 02:01:16.159

1171
02:25:49.079 --> 02:26:00.200
feeling more relaxed, even though if not purposely focused to

1172
02:26:00.399 --> 02:26:08.559
your mind upon that sense of physical comfort that is

1173
02:26:08.760 --> 02:26:18.040
growing within you throughout your body, and your mind starts

1174
02:26:18.120 --> 02:26:27.639
to slow down, and that could be almost in recognition

1175
02:26:28.239 --> 02:26:42.079
of I guess my speech not being particularly fast and

1176
02:26:42.280 --> 02:26:53.120
things just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice,

1177
02:26:56.239 --> 02:27:03.159
you give yourself an opportunity to take a break from

1178
02:27:03.239 --> 02:27:09.719
the day, take a break from your life as it is,

1179
02:27:13.159 --> 02:27:20.760
and to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to

1180
02:27:20.920 --> 02:27:26.159
take some time off and to allow your body to

1181
02:27:26.280 --> 02:27:36.000
relax and allow your mind to slow down, which in

1182
02:27:36.159 --> 02:27:43.920
turn releases the tension and he stresses that you had

1183
02:27:44.000 --> 02:27:53.719
in your body. It's almost as if the parts of

1184
02:27:53.840 --> 02:28:05.760
your body just open up, allowing the negativity out and

1185
02:28:05.879 --> 02:28:14.280
at the same time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy,

1186
02:28:17.399 --> 02:28:22.000
which then fills your body up and your mind to

1187
02:28:23.639 --> 02:28:42.040
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an

1188
02:28:42.120 --> 02:28:59.200
almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through

1189
02:28:59.280 --> 02:29:09.959
your body like a wave of comfort, and all this

1190
02:29:10.280 --> 02:29:22.319
comes and just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half

1191
02:29:22.399 --> 02:29:26.239
an hour, however long you want it to be, to

1192
02:29:26.559 --> 02:29:40.399
just rest and allow your mind and your body to

1193
02:29:40.520 --> 02:29:57.120
almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

1194
02:30:01.399 --> 02:30:10.719
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness

1195
02:30:14.799 --> 02:30:23.600
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

1196
02:30:24.399 --> 02:30:29.000
as if your mind and your body are sinking together

1197
02:30:33.280 --> 02:30:42.959
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness,

1198
02:30:48.040 --> 02:30:55.239
and it feels nice. It really does feel nice to

1199
02:30:55.440 --> 02:31:01.120
know that you are the one that has allowed yourself

1200
02:31:04.600 --> 02:31:13.959
to feel more comfort and to experience.

1201
02:31:15.680 --> 02:31:16.840
More of this.

1202
02:31:18.600 --> 02:31:33.760
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1203
02:31:35.319 --> 02:31:41.079
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1204
02:31:41.319 --> 02:31:55.840
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1205
02:31:58.399 --> 02:32:08.040
It becomes even more or calm and comfortable just by focusing.

1206
02:32:12.079 --> 02:32:17.840
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1207
02:32:20.559 --> 02:32:27.239
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

1208
02:32:27.440 --> 02:32:35.079
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

1209
02:32:35.120 --> 02:32:48.440
on were just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation

1210
02:32:48.879 --> 02:33:02.040
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm gonna

1211
02:33:02.120 --> 02:33:09.239
start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of

1212
02:33:09.520 --> 02:33:19.639
the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds like

1213
02:33:19.840 --> 02:33:24.920
mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel

1214
02:33:25.079 --> 02:33:35.040
even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment. This

1215
02:33:35.200 --> 02:33:40.360
isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1216
02:33:43.799 --> 02:33:49.840
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1217
02:33:50.360 --> 02:34:00.840
sounds around, so as you focus on your forehead. Just

1218
02:34:01.120 --> 02:34:08.879
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1219
02:34:11.200 --> 02:34:15.680
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1220
02:34:20.879 --> 02:34:29.159
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1221
02:34:31.639 --> 02:34:41.319
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1222
02:34:41.399 --> 02:34:47.840
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1223
02:34:48.079 --> 02:35:02.520
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1224
02:35:03.000 --> 02:35:09.600
your tongue, your teeth, and your combs, the whole of

1225
02:35:09.760 --> 02:35:24.559
your mouth relaxing, calm and lease. As you focus now

1226
02:35:25.360 --> 02:35:32.239
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw

1227
02:35:32.399 --> 02:35:36.799
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way

1228
02:35:36.879 --> 02:35:40.360
up the size of your face to.

1229
02:35:40.440 --> 02:35:54.959
Your ears, that hole of your jaw feeding more relaxed.

1230
02:35:58.399 --> 02:36:15.760
And calm. Focusing on your neck, the front of your

1231
02:36:15.920 --> 02:36:28.360
neck and your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The

1232
02:36:28.719 --> 02:36:34.319
sides of your neck, the right and left side of

1233
02:36:34.440 --> 02:36:52.959
your neck relax and loose and calm. And now the

1234
02:36:53.200 --> 02:37:00.319
back of your neck. Focusing on the back of your neck,

1235
02:37:06.280 --> 02:37:11.440
letting go of any tension that may have been there before,

1236
02:37:13.280 --> 02:37:27.360
and enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that

1237
02:37:27.600 --> 02:37:38.000
you can experience in the back of your neck. Moving

1238
02:37:38.239 --> 02:37:44.799
down your back and moving either side of your spine,

1239
02:37:46.120 --> 02:37:50.799
right from the top of your back all the way

1240
02:37:51.040 --> 02:38:03.719
down to the bottom of your back, down to your

1241
02:38:03.799 --> 02:38:14.360
lower back, and as you move up and down your spine,

1242
02:38:16.520 --> 02:38:20.920
you can feel the muscles either side of your spine

1243
02:38:23.159 --> 02:38:37.719
relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense

1244
02:38:37.799 --> 02:38:48.280
of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into

1245
02:38:48.479 --> 02:38:55.120
both sides of your back, the top of your back,

1246
02:38:55.959 --> 02:38:56.760
the middle, and.

1247
02:38:56.879 --> 02:39:02.559
Your lower back. And as you scan.

1248
02:39:03.920 --> 02:39:11.760
Gently and slowly up and down your back, there's the

1249
02:39:11.879 --> 02:39:17.760
muscles in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1250
02:39:22.079 --> 02:39:28.079
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1251
02:39:28.200 --> 02:39:37.719
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,

1252
02:39:43.479 --> 02:39:49.479
And in your lower back there seems to be an

1253
02:39:49.520 --> 02:40:03.719
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips,

1254
02:40:06.040 --> 02:40:13.840
sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

1255
02:40:14.040 --> 02:40:22.799
area where your cosicks are, and into your buttocks, and

1256
02:40:22.920 --> 02:40:26.120
all these muscles that spread.

1257
02:40:28.360 --> 02:40:29.559
From your lower back.

1258
02:40:31.840 --> 02:40:44.079
Into your hip area start to melt, start to really

1259
02:40:45.280 --> 02:40:56.159
let go. Don't even know where about to focus on

1260
02:40:56.280 --> 02:41:05.920
your shoulders, your back, your spine will continue to let go,

1261
02:41:09.000 --> 02:41:24.600
continue to relax so calmly, and as you focus on

1262
02:41:24.760 --> 02:41:37.680
your shoulders. You may notice that they're already feeling really loose,

1263
02:41:42.520 --> 02:41:52.799
they're already feeding calm.

1264
02:42:00.079 --> 02:42:00.200
Ye.

1265
02:42:04.520 --> 02:42:12.799
Those muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders.

1266
02:42:19.399 --> 02:42:48.760
Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and

1267
02:42:48.959 --> 02:43:01.799
the feeding in your shoulders seens to spread deep into

1268
02:43:01.920 --> 02:43:12.319
your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1269
02:43:12.719 --> 02:43:29.680
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

1270
02:43:29.799 --> 02:43:38.600
all away to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area

1271
02:43:38.799 --> 02:43:43.719
between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms.

1272
02:43:48.040 --> 02:44:03.239
He Then you feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders,

1273
02:44:06.760 --> 02:44:29.120
which sends that deep healing message into your arms. You

1274
02:44:29.319 --> 02:44:35.000
may feel almost as if your arms are not even there,

1275
02:44:36.520 --> 02:44:58.399
because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm,

1276
02:45:13.520 --> 02:45:35.399
so loose, not feeling spreading all the way down your arms,

1277
02:45:38.120 --> 02:45:45.760
two elbows, including.

1278
02:45:46.079 --> 02:46:04.440
Your elbows their comforts spreads or away.

1279
02:46:06.840 --> 02:46:08.799
Into wrists.

1280
02:46:11.040 --> 02:46:13.200
Of forearments, and.

1281
02:46:13.360 --> 02:46:28.879
Your wrists being so heavy yet at the same time.

1282
02:46:36.159 --> 02:46:36.920
So light.

1283
02:46:39.959 --> 02:47:10.280
And gentle. Frek sive. Now on.

1284
02:47:12.959 --> 02:47:37.000
Your hands, my hands.

1285
02:47:42.879 --> 02:47:45.639
So peaceful.

1286
02:47:46.760 --> 02:47:47.840
In your hands.

1287
02:48:06.399 --> 02:48:07.559
There's a sense of.

1288
02:48:11.040 --> 02:48:30.319
Real peace. It just seems to I feel.

1289
02:48:32.280 --> 02:48:41.079
So familiar. When your hands relax deeply.

1290
02:48:50.000 --> 02:50:16.559
Feels a thing is you, things sold les, your finger tips.

1291
02:50:45.200 --> 02:51:04.280
Moving your attention to the front, to your body, so comfortable,

1292
02:51:15.319 --> 02:52:39.920
Move on your focus to your legs. Why my souls

1293

I'm going to start counting down now from twenty down

1301
02:58:08.319 --> 02:58:16.440
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

1302
02:58:17.239 --> 02:58:23.680
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

1303
02:58:23.760 --> 02:58:32.879
and each step represents a level of comfort. Each step

1304
02:58:33.399 --> 02:58:48.959
represents a deepening of that comfort, and the fervies you

1305
02:58:49.120 --> 02:58:54.399
walk down those steps that are deeper and more relaxed

1306
02:58:54.680 --> 03:00:10.840
you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty nineteen eighteen

seventeen sicksting three four four se too well five eight

1308
03:08:58.520 --> 03:12:38.639
ninete eight seven s.

1309
03:13:54.000 --> 03:16:31.360
Five four four yo.

1310
03:18:51.639 --> 03:19:58.079
One And now as you focus on your eyes, we're

1311
03:19:58.120 --> 03:20:08.239
gonna count down from tend down to one. Focus in

1312
03:20:09.559 --> 03:20:17.799
just on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

1313
03:20:20.879 --> 03:20:29.520
your eye walls themselves, a whole area that makes up

1314
03:20:29.639 --> 03:20:45.680
your eye. And as we count down from ten down

1315
03:20:45.760 --> 03:20:58.719
to one, whilst focus in on your eyes, you'll become

1316
03:21:00.799 --> 03:21:12.879
twice is relaxed with each number counting down, and you

1317
03:21:13.079 --> 03:21:20.600
may find the all you want to do is just

1318
03:21:22.639 --> 03:21:29.799
drift off to sleep. And if that's what you want,

1319
03:21:32.840 --> 03:21:45.799
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

1320
03:21:46.000 --> 03:21:53.280
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten

1321
03:21:53.680 --> 03:21:54.719
down to one.

1322
03:21:58.680 --> 03:21:59.159
Right now.

1323
03:22:07.639 --> 03:22:34.879
Two nine.

1324
03:23:08.840 --> 03:28:31.959
Eight fourn four five four three.

1325
03:29:37.319 --> 03:31:05.719
Two one.

1326
03:31:12.079 --> 03:31:28.760
So counting down from ten to one ten nine eight

1327
03:31:31.600 --> 03:31:42.920
seven six five four three.

1328
03:31:45.520 --> 03:31:57.559
Two one. And maybe that was a bit too quick

1329
03:31:58.159 --> 03:32:02.040
in order to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast

1330
03:32:02.360 --> 03:32:11.159
for you to notice the calming of your body, maybe

1331
03:32:12.000 --> 03:32:15.760
even a little bit of pressure there. Like you'll count

1332
03:32:15.799 --> 03:32:18.239
it down from ten to one. Would you expect me

1333
03:32:18.399 --> 03:32:23.200
to do? Man, expect me to stick gold floppy just

1334
03:32:23.319 --> 03:32:32.719
because you're counting down. We could try it again, but.

1335
03:32:32.799 --> 03:32:34.399
This time I go this lower.

1336
03:32:36.639 --> 03:32:41.879
This time, as you focus on the whole of your body,

1337
03:32:43.079 --> 03:32:50.120
before we focus on your legs. Just notice how your

1338
03:32:50.200 --> 03:33:04.559
body does start to feel more relaxed with every number

1339
03:33:05.559 --> 03:33:06.680
that I count down.

1340
03:33:09.920 --> 03:33:46.360
Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1341
03:33:56.440 --> 03:34:55.600
Four three two one. I just notice how how you feel, generally,

1342
03:34:56.079 --> 03:35:10.360
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

1343
03:35:10.479 --> 03:35:17.600
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

1344
03:35:18.959 --> 03:35:37.399
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

1345
03:35:42.159 --> 03:35:47.319
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

1346
03:35:47.520 --> 03:35:54.120
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So

1347
03:35:54.840 --> 03:35:57.840
that opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1348
03:35:57.920 --> 03:36:08.639
a space, a gap, yahm. And the more I camped

1349
03:36:08.719 --> 03:36:13.239
down from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes.

1350
03:36:16.280 --> 03:36:28.760
So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's

1351
03:36:28.799 --> 03:36:42.440
a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts

1352
03:36:42.520 --> 03:36:45.639
physically or emotionally, moves them.

1353
03:36:47.239 --> 03:36:47.600
Away.

1354
03:36:54.399 --> 03:36:58.559
Allows you to just.

1355
03:37:01.559 --> 03:37:08.280
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

1356
03:37:08.719 --> 03:37:18.920
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

1357
03:37:19.000 --> 03:37:25.040
it's almost like the thestress and attention falls into the

1358
03:37:25.120 --> 03:37:43.000
gap and gives you that distance, that space.

1359
03:37:45.360 --> 03:39:05.120
Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four three.

1360
03:39:21.239 --> 03:39:40.120
Two one.

1361
03:39:52.040 --> 03:39:52.799
How does your.

1362
03:39:54.840 --> 03:40:22.719
Body fel Can you notice? Do you feeling calmer? The

1363
03:40:23.120 --> 03:40:51.559
feeling more relaxed as we now focus on your legs,

1364
03:40:53.280 --> 03:41:13.719
just your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on

1365
03:41:14.159 --> 03:41:33.319
your thighs. Of course, it's not the most exciting thing

1366
03:41:33.479 --> 03:41:40.000
to be doing, because I'm sure, like most of your

1367
03:41:40.040 --> 03:41:51.719
body is not a lot going on right now. Just

1368
03:41:51.920 --> 03:41:58.040
focusing on the whole of your thighs, the tops of

1369
03:41:58.120 --> 03:42:04.840
your thighs, if your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs,

1370
03:42:06.360 --> 03:42:11.799
your outer thighs, and your inner thighs, basically the whole

1371
03:42:11.879 --> 03:42:13.559
of your thigh that leads.

1372
03:42:14.239 --> 03:42:21.879
Into your hip and it goes down to your.

1373
03:42:23.799 --> 03:42:35.680
Knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's a

1374
03:42:35.799 --> 03:42:42.600
very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest muscles

1375
03:42:42.680 --> 03:42:55.559
in your body are in your thighs. But I don't

1376
03:42:55.639 --> 03:43:10.159
think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps

1377
03:43:10.319 --> 03:43:21.120
we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to our lives,

1378
03:43:32.639 --> 03:43:42.079
how much they actually do for us all through our lives.

1379
03:43:49.239 --> 03:43:54.799
And it may seem to sound really weird, but I

1380
03:43:54.920 --> 03:44:00.879
think that all of our body parts specctually, our thighs

1381
03:44:01.879 --> 03:44:09.200
need some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit

1382
03:44:09.280 --> 03:44:16.719
of acknowledgement.

1383
03:44:19.239 --> 03:44:19.840
I thank you.

1384
03:44:22.959 --> 03:44:35.280
Gratitude for what our thighs do for us. And I

1385
03:44:35.440 --> 03:44:41.120
know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think,

1386
03:44:41.559 --> 03:44:44.319
why am I sure? How I should be out in

1387
03:44:44.440 --> 03:44:53.000
the garden hugging a tree or something. Well, it's hard

1388
03:44:53.040 --> 03:44:56.159
to set a microphone up on a tree. That's why

1389
03:44:56.200 --> 03:44:58.879
I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be outside hugging

1390
03:44:58.920 --> 03:45:02.360
a tree. No, I can't see the television from the tree.

1391
03:45:09.079 --> 03:45:13.360
If you move down to your knees gain such an

1392
03:45:13.440 --> 03:45:23.159
important part. And I think we don't necessarily I'll speak

1393
03:45:23.200 --> 03:45:30.559
for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all that my

1394
03:45:30.680 --> 03:45:35.920
knees do for me until I have a problem with

1395
03:45:36.040 --> 03:45:41.120
my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever maybe i'll pash it,

1396
03:45:41.440 --> 03:45:47.280
or it's aching for some reason. It's then that I

1397
03:45:47.479 --> 03:45:52.959
realize how much it does. You know, the benefit of

1398
03:45:53.040 --> 03:46:00.520
being able to use my legs without any kind of

1399
03:46:00.639 --> 03:46:09.000
physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated

1400
03:46:09.159 --> 03:46:20.159
until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort. But as

1401
03:46:20.200 --> 03:46:25.559
you focus on your knees, regardless of how your knees feel,

1402
03:46:28.680 --> 03:46:34.399
you can have that sense of gratitude and love to

1403
03:46:34.520 --> 03:46:47.120
your knees for all that they do for you, and

1404
03:46:47.280 --> 03:46:50.920
you can still have that attention on your thighs and

1405
03:46:51.040 --> 03:46:57.719
maybe notice how your thighs feel, Maybe notice that they

1406
03:46:58.639 --> 03:47:16.440
are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on the

1407
03:47:16.520 --> 03:47:20.920
bottoms of your legs, your shins, and your calf muscles,

1408
03:47:21.280 --> 03:47:29.120
and the bones between your knees and your feet, incorporating

1409
03:47:29.200 --> 03:47:41.520
of course, your ankles, so important. Anyone that's had even

1410
03:47:41.920 --> 03:47:48.559
like the slightest sprain of an ankle knows how how

1411
03:47:48.840 --> 03:47:58.959
much we take our ankles for granted. And it's kind

1412
03:47:58.959 --> 03:48:04.479
of strange in a way when you think that. You know, logically,

1413
03:48:04.840 --> 03:48:07.920
our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of

1414
03:48:07.959 --> 03:48:12.639
our arms, which is okay, it doesn't I can't see

1415
03:48:12.680 --> 03:48:16.159
any problem with that because we're just picking stuff up

1416
03:48:17.760 --> 03:48:23.360
by our ankles so much thinner than the rest of

1417
03:48:23.440 --> 03:48:34.280
our legs. And from a physics perspective or logical even

1418
03:48:34.399 --> 03:48:40.079
it doesn't really make sense that all this weight would

1419
03:48:40.159 --> 03:48:47.040
ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading to your

1420
03:48:47.079 --> 03:49:01.159
feet that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, so much great

1421
03:49:01.280 --> 03:49:13.000
work supports us, supports our body for a lifetime, helps

1422
03:49:13.120 --> 03:49:22.440
us to balance, It helps you to get around and

1423
03:49:22.559 --> 03:49:36.559
be mobile and there's the calf muscles. Of course, when

1424
03:49:36.639 --> 03:49:39.239
I was younger, I couldn't see the point in calf

1425
03:49:39.319 --> 03:49:45.239
muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked

1426
03:49:45.239 --> 03:49:48.959
around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get some work.

1427
03:49:50.360 --> 03:49:52.920
But of course that's not true. The calf muscles are

1428
03:49:52.959 --> 03:50:02.840
being used whenever we use our legs and your shins

1429
03:50:06.120 --> 03:50:15.120
there to protect your lower legs, shaped in a way,

1430
03:50:16.959 --> 03:50:29.079
almost as a protector for the bone, leading of course

1431
03:50:29.159 --> 03:50:34.120
to your ankles and your feet.

1432
03:50:38.799 --> 03:50:40.760
But we're not going to focus on your feet. We're

1433
03:50:40.799 --> 03:50:42.159
just going to focus on the legs.

1434
03:50:44.239 --> 03:50:48.879
I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet, it

1435
03:50:49.040 --> 03:50:53.920
probably focusing on them anyway, So maybe I should focus

1436
03:50:54.000 --> 03:50:54.799
on your feet.

1437
03:50:54.600 --> 03:50:55.079
A little bit.

1438
03:50:59.120 --> 03:51:03.559
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1439
03:51:03.639 --> 03:51:08.000
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1440
03:51:08.120 --> 03:51:12.079
haven't been focusing on your thighs for a few minutes,

1441
03:51:13.879 --> 03:51:24.680
we've been focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation

1442
03:51:24.959 --> 03:51:32.600
of comfort in your thighs.

1443
03:51:37.239 --> 03:51:39.040
And this that movement.

1444
03:51:40.239 --> 03:51:41.280
Of energy.

1445
03:51:43.040 --> 03:51:50.079
Because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1446
03:51:50.120 --> 03:51:54.879
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1447
03:51:55.120 --> 03:51:55.799
in our thighs.

1448
03:52:04.559 --> 03:52:10.280
But the skin on the outside of the thighs, as

1449
03:52:10.360 --> 03:52:14.879
in the outside of all of our body, can be

1450
03:52:15.120 --> 03:52:32.799
very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature. And

1451
03:52:33.000 --> 03:52:41.360
inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,

1452
03:52:41.520 --> 03:52:47.319
the arch trees, all this stuff that's inside your thighs.

1453
03:52:51.639 --> 03:52:54.799
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could

1454
03:52:54.840 --> 03:52:59.959
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and mess up

1455
03:53:02.559 --> 03:53:06.120
so you can message on the outside, of course, but

1456
03:53:06.200 --> 03:53:09.319
to be able to get deep into the muscles and

1457
03:53:09.399 --> 03:53:14.520
to be able to just massage inside your thighs, message

1458
03:53:14.559 --> 03:53:19.760
in the bones of your leg, massage in.

1459
03:53:22.360 --> 03:53:32.920
All the veins, and just gently healing your thighs, and

1460
03:53:33.040 --> 03:53:39.600
you could move down message and inside your knees, just

1461
03:53:39.840 --> 03:53:46.520
message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that

1462
03:53:46.920 --> 03:53:49.200
healing energy deep.

1463
03:53:49.040 --> 03:53:52.200
Into the joints of your knees.

1464
03:53:57.639 --> 03:54:01.319
Of course, there's the back of your your knee, you know,

1465
03:54:01.440 --> 03:54:07.440
the inside crease where your knee is. It's a very

1466
03:54:07.639 --> 03:54:13.520
sensitive area, very it feels very nice when you stroke it.

1467
03:54:14.920 --> 03:54:18.280
That might be because it's an area that's not really

1468
03:54:18.479 --> 03:54:26.000
touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part that crease.

1469
03:54:27.760 --> 03:54:28.440
In your legs.

1470
03:54:28.559 --> 03:54:29.479
It's almost.

1471
03:54:31.280 --> 03:54:36.000
It's like a part that has a sensitivity, which is

1472
03:54:36.040 --> 03:54:37.000
a little bit different.

1473
03:54:44.840 --> 03:54:54.760
Of course, it's protected by your legs, So you can

1474
03:54:54.840 --> 03:55:00.000
imagine putting your fingers into that crease in your legs,

1475
03:55:05.600 --> 03:55:09.479
that fold in between your legs. You can just message

1476
03:55:09.559 --> 03:55:16.639
with your fingertips, letting your fingertips going inside, massage in

1477
03:55:16.760 --> 03:55:18.600
the muscle tissue.

1478
03:55:23.200 --> 03:55:24.879
You can of course field.

1479
03:55:24.559 --> 03:55:38.239
The bones of your knees heading through your fingertips, and

1480
03:55:38.319 --> 03:55:43.959
then as you go down to your calf muscles, and

1481
03:55:44.079 --> 03:55:46.799
that's the part I'd like to be able to really

1482
03:55:47.639 --> 03:55:53.959
put my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, massage in

1483
03:55:54.399 --> 03:56:08.959
every single tissue of that muscle, healing every part. And

1484
03:56:09.079 --> 03:56:16.280
then doing the same for my shins, massage in gently

1485
03:56:16.520 --> 03:56:23.600
stroking the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a loving way,

1486
03:56:24.920 --> 03:56:31.319
because they deserve to be treated as the precious bones

1487
03:56:31.360 --> 03:56:36.120
that they are. Our legs are so precious as in

1488
03:56:36.200 --> 03:56:41.319
all the other parts of our body, and more precious

1489
03:56:41.399 --> 03:56:42.520
of any jure.

1490
03:56:44.920 --> 03:57:00.879
On the planet. When you start to think about your

1491
03:57:01.040 --> 03:57:12.360
legs in this way, it can change your perspective. It

1492
03:57:12.520 --> 03:57:13.520
might sound a bit.

1493
03:57:16.520 --> 03:57:20.799
A bit silly to start with, the idea of having

1494
03:57:21.680 --> 03:57:31.680
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1495
03:57:31.799 --> 03:57:35.719
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

1496
03:57:37.959 --> 03:57:44.280
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your

1497
03:57:44.399 --> 03:57:52.920
fingers deep in there, releasing all tension. Just to show

1498
03:57:54.840 --> 03:58:02.200
how much you care about your legs, how much you

1499
03:58:02.319 --> 03:58:10.879
care for what your legs do for you regularly, your knees,

1500
03:58:11.120 --> 03:58:23.959
your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering

1501
03:58:24.159 --> 03:58:28.639
how thin they are compared to the rest of your legs,

1502
03:58:28.840 --> 03:58:42.479
especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely

1503
03:58:42.760 --> 03:58:44.040
amazing things.

1504
03:58:45.319 --> 03:58:55.000
Your ankles are truly a gift because of what they

1505
03:58:55.120 --> 03:59:06.840
do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless of how

1506
03:59:07.000 --> 03:59:11.000
what weight you are, even if you only eat ate stone,

1507
03:59:13.120 --> 03:59:20.120
there's still a lot of weight for these little ankles. Now,

1508
03:59:20.159 --> 03:59:28.120
I'm a lot heavier than each stone double down, yet.

1509
03:59:28.040 --> 03:59:37.000
My ankles support my body all the time. Although they

1510
03:59:37.079 --> 03:59:40.280
do give off a sigh of relief when I sit down,

1511
03:59:43.639 --> 03:59:44.719
you have my whole legs do.

1512
03:59:48.399 --> 03:59:55.760
My feet feet also go, my toes clap. I'm so happy.

1513
04:00:15.520 --> 04:00:24.719
Your legs really are amazing, and I know that talking

1514
04:00:24.760 --> 04:00:31.200
about talking about your legs is probably possibly among the

1515
04:00:31.280 --> 04:00:36.840
most most boring things I've ever heard anyone say. Possibly

1516
04:00:39.760 --> 04:00:46.440
you're boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your

1517
04:00:46.559 --> 04:01:07.559
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve just respect. They deserve

1518
04:01:07.680 --> 04:01:10.520
to relax deeply.

1519
04:01:17.799 --> 04:01:21.159
They deserve to take some time out of the day

1520
04:01:23.360 --> 04:01:52.079
to just let go completely. Relics really can relax.

1521
04:01:59.680 --> 04:02:03.840
And because the legs are so such a most, you know,

1522
04:02:04.079 --> 04:02:10.040
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1523
04:02:10.120 --> 04:02:17.360
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that

1524
04:02:21.079 --> 04:02:31.920
journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

1525
04:02:33.319 --> 04:02:40.440
My hips feel really loose, and also my lower back

1526
04:02:40.479 --> 04:02:47.079
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1527
04:02:48.200 --> 04:02:51.239
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1528
04:02:51.360 --> 04:02:52.840
no stretching.

1529
04:02:55.000 --> 04:02:56.600
As far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1530
04:02:57.639 --> 04:03:00.280
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1531
04:03:00.520 --> 04:03:06.440
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension

1532
04:03:07.319 --> 04:03:28.600
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

1533
04:03:28.680 --> 04:03:37.120
down from ten down to one, and you can continue.

1534
04:03:38.399 --> 04:03:39.200
To feel.

1535
04:03:40.719 --> 04:03:41.879
Wonderfully relaxed.

1536
04:03:45.719 --> 04:04:01.479
Ten nine, eight, seven, six.

1537
04:04:04.360 --> 04:04:09.760
Five, four.

1538
04:04:12.920 --> 04:04:17.760
Three two.

1539
04:04:21.840 --> 04:04:28.799
One relax.

1540
04:04:36.680 --> 04:04:40.959
So I'm just going to count down five down to one,

1541
04:04:41.719 --> 04:04:46.280
and as a countdown. If you just focus on the numbers,

1542
04:04:47.959 --> 04:04:56.360
just the numbers counting down, and notice how you feel.

1543
04:04:58.680 --> 04:05:03.239
In this moment as you hear the numbers counting down,

1544
04:05:04.319 --> 04:05:06.639
knowing that those numbers.

1545
04:05:08.799 --> 04:05:19.440
Counting down represents you feeling calmer, not just in your body,

1546
04:05:19.600 --> 04:05:27.959
but also relaxing your mind. I just notice how you feel.

1547
04:05:28.840 --> 04:05:34.760
There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing

1548
04:05:34.920 --> 04:06:17.959
to think about, starting with number five, four, three, two one.

1549
04:06:27.399 --> 04:06:33.760
And as you notice the gradual.

1550
04:06:36.040 --> 04:06:45.000
Letting go the tension in your body, you may also

1551
04:06:45.600 --> 04:06:51.079
begin to notice and be aware of how your mind

1552
04:06:52.159 --> 04:06:59.920
is starting to slow down. This is just a natural

1553
04:07:00.159 --> 04:07:02.280
or thing that happens.

1554
04:07:04.920 --> 04:07:07.360
It's not really a special procedure.

1555
04:07:08.719 --> 04:07:13.840
It's just natural because as your body relaxes, your mind

1556
04:07:13.959 --> 04:07:19.719
also starts to relax. And the more your mind relaxes,

1557
04:07:19.840 --> 04:07:24.479
the more your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle

1558
04:07:24.559 --> 04:07:35.120
of relaxation. And there is that calmness that comes from

1559
04:07:37.120 --> 04:07:42.840
relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background sounds

1560
04:07:44.280 --> 04:07:51.479
either your side, online, it's still going to be quite calm.

1561
04:07:53.159 --> 04:07:55.760
You know, you haven't got the television on, there's no

1562
04:07:56.079 --> 04:08:00.319
music in the background unless you're listening to the recording

1563
04:08:00.399 --> 04:08:00.920
with music.

1564
04:08:01.079 --> 04:08:01.680
Of course.

1565
04:08:06.319 --> 04:08:08.479
You're very likely not going to be sitting in a

1566
04:08:08.600 --> 04:08:11.719
room with other people. Of course you might be, but

1567
04:08:13.000 --> 04:08:16.280
generally it's more ideal if you can do this on

1568
04:08:16.399 --> 04:08:27.719
your own, so no distractions, and when you stop thinking

1569
04:08:27.760 --> 04:08:43.239
about stuff, relaxation automatically rises, a sense of comfort.

1570
04:08:44.559 --> 04:08:49.959
Starts to grow, and.

1571
04:08:51.760 --> 04:08:57.000
Without trying to build it up into something fantastical or

1572
04:09:00.399 --> 04:09:09.079
something magical, this is just a natural process, something that's

1573
04:09:10.280 --> 04:09:20.000
easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost the sense of

1574
04:09:20.280 --> 04:09:27.520
relaxing completely happens really when you put no effort into it.

1575
04:09:28.559 --> 04:09:34.239
It's not something that you can really force. It's something

1576
04:09:34.399 --> 04:09:37.559
that happens naturally.

1577
04:09:40.520 --> 04:09:47.760
And part of the process of this recording and others

1578
04:09:49.399 --> 04:09:50.959
is simply.

1579
04:09:52.239 --> 04:10:04.360
Two allow you to take advantage of this space, this time,

1580
04:10:07.399 --> 04:10:18.319
to just let go, to just be here, to be.

1581
04:10:18.920 --> 04:10:19.959
In tune.

1582
04:10:23.280 --> 04:10:35.360
With how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting

1583
04:10:35.639 --> 04:10:47.760
to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending

1584
04:10:48.000 --> 04:10:52.879
on what it is that you wish for yourself.

1585
04:10:54.159 --> 04:10:54.959
In this moment.

1586
04:11:01.959 --> 04:11:11.200
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process

1587
04:11:11.440 --> 04:11:16.600
of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is the

1588
04:11:16.719 --> 04:11:24.520
tiny bit at the end. The deeper, relaxed you become

1589
04:11:28.479 --> 04:11:29.920
the easier.

1590
04:11:32.440 --> 04:11:33.319
You find.

1591
04:11:34.600 --> 04:11:50.639
Yourself drifting. You can also, if you choose stay focused

1592
04:11:51.799 --> 04:12:09.399
on my voice and really enjoy the process of gradually

1593
04:12:14.959 --> 04:12:42.000
relaxing each muscle in your body effortlessly and just observing

1594
04:12:46.479 --> 04:12:48.000
the sensation.

1595
04:12:52.639 --> 04:13:00.760
Of letting go completely.

1596
04:13:06.799 --> 04:13:10.840
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,

1597
04:13:15.680 --> 04:13:19.280
and you can notice your mind.

1598
04:13:21.600 --> 04:13:26.879
Calming down more with each number.

1599
04:13:28.200 --> 04:13:29.360
That you hear me.

1600
04:13:29.600 --> 04:13:40.399
Say, naturally, feeling calm and slow.

1601
04:13:44.159 --> 04:16:39.040
And be peaceful six, five, four, three, two, one, being

1602
04:16:39.399 --> 04:16:55.159
aware how your mind to slow right down, sinking deeply

1603
04:16:57.959 --> 04:17:15.319
into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind, you

1604
04:17:18.840 --> 04:17:20.079
may notice that.

1605
04:17:22.000 --> 04:17:29.760
There are some thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts

1606
04:17:29.959 --> 04:17:45.239
that for some reason perhaps need your attention. So what

1607
04:17:45.440 --> 04:17:46.280
you can do is.

1608
04:17:51.879 --> 04:18:04.360
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love

1609
04:18:06.120 --> 04:18:10.319
like a petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

1610
04:18:11.799 --> 04:18:18.920
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those

1611
04:18:19.159 --> 04:18:25.559
thoughts know that you're not abandoned in them. You just

1612
04:18:26.079 --> 04:18:26.559
need them.

1613
04:18:27.799 --> 04:18:39.040
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiets

1614
04:18:39.239 --> 04:18:43.799
down for now.

1615
04:18:51.719 --> 04:18:56.719
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts as we

1616
04:18:56.879 --> 04:19:02.959
count down this time from seven to one. With each number,

1617
04:19:05.959 --> 04:19:18.479
just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude

1618
04:19:21.760 --> 04:19:31.319
over those thoughts, which will allow them to just melt

1619
04:19:31.360 --> 04:19:46.399
away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts will

1620
04:19:46.479 --> 04:19:52.840
become more and more relaxed.

1621
04:19:58.440 --> 04:22:12.840
Starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, one.

1622
04:22:29.559 --> 04:22:46.440
And as you now notice how relaxed you're feeling in

1623
04:22:46.639 --> 04:23:08.360
your body, wegan to focus on your hands because the

1624
04:23:08.600 --> 04:23:14.959
more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body

1625
04:23:15.920 --> 04:23:16.840
and mind are.

1626
04:23:31.799 --> 04:23:32.239
And there.

1627
04:23:33.920 --> 04:23:44.079
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing

1628
04:23:44.600 --> 04:23:49.319
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or

1629
04:23:50.399 --> 04:24:00.680
dents in the fingers or anything like that. It's just

1630
04:24:01.200 --> 04:24:30.520
noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel, because.

1631
04:24:30.399 --> 04:24:31.280
The more.

1632
04:24:33.239 --> 04:24:43.639
Relax your hands feel, the calmer your mind feels, and

1633
04:24:44.000 --> 04:24:44.959
the more.

1634
04:24:47.559 --> 04:24:58.479
Comforts you feel throughout your body. And you.

1635
04:25:01.159 --> 04:25:32.440
May have already noticed you mind is starting to dress

1636
04:25:46.239 --> 04:26:00.520
like him, just on your hands and fingers, allowing than

1637
04:26:01.600 --> 04:26:15.040
to experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your

1638
04:26:15.200 --> 04:26:17.000
hands and fingers.

1639
04:26:22.600 --> 04:26:23.159
More.

1640
04:26:26.079 --> 04:26:42.440
And more relaxed. With each number from eight.

1641
04:26:44.680 --> 04:26:51.000
Down to one, you can.

1642
04:26:50.959 --> 04:27:02.159
Almost feel that healing and relaxing energy written into your

1643
04:27:02.360 --> 04:27:09.200
hands and fingers, becoming.

1644
04:27:13.159 --> 04:27:30.239
Year and more relaxing with each number you hear, going down.

1645
04:27:32.079 --> 04:27:50.319
Eight, down to one, drifting, drifting again starting with.

1646
04:27:54.879 --> 04:29:45.680
Number eight seven, six, four.

1647
04:30:09.959 --> 04:30:30.399
Four three.

1648
04:31:00.680 --> 04:31:01.159
Shah.

1649
04:31:49.959 --> 04:31:51.360
Just being here.

1650
04:31:51.799 --> 04:32:01.760
Now, nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,

1651
04:32:05.920 --> 04:32:10.000
and everything just feels calmer.

1652
04:32:14.600 --> 04:32:22.040
And this is your natural state of being. This is

1653
04:32:22.319 --> 04:32:25.000
how you just normally.

1654
04:32:24.760 --> 04:32:33.120
Feel when you take away all that other stuff that

1655
04:32:33.239 --> 04:32:47.120
we add, you know, things like stress and worrying and overthinking, anxiety, tension,

1656
04:32:51.360 --> 04:32:53.559
just generally thinking about stuff.

1657
04:32:55.639 --> 04:33:00.120
And you take that away, which is what we do do.

1658
04:33:00.399 --> 04:33:07.799
Now you're left with.

1659
04:33:10.520 --> 04:33:19.040
A real sense of peacefulness, which comes to you very

1660
04:33:19.159 --> 04:33:34.599
quickly because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort,

1661
04:33:38.520 --> 04:33:41.959
almost as if you've gone inside yourself and you've found

1662
04:33:42.680 --> 04:33:56.680
a special place where everything is peaceful, a place where

1663
04:33:56.759 --> 04:34:01.439
you can feel relaxed and your natural.

1664
04:34:03.240 --> 04:34:07.599
Sense of comfort, a.

1665
04:34:07.680 --> 04:34:16.200
Place where you can be you, where you can accept

1666
04:34:16.319 --> 04:34:22.400
yourself for who you are, the place where you're not

1667
04:34:22.599 --> 04:34:33.000
trying to please anybody else ever, the place where you

1668
04:34:33.159 --> 04:34:42.720
can actually not just love yourself, but in some ways

1669
04:34:42.799 --> 04:34:51.959
more importantly, you can like yourself, appreciate who you are.

1670
04:35:00.799 --> 04:35:07.400
A sense of gratitude is in the air all around you,

1671
04:35:14.880 --> 04:35:21.200
and that's also a place where you can actually feel

1672
04:35:22.840 --> 04:35:36.919
the healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking

1673
04:35:38.159 --> 04:35:48.599
into your body, and the healing energy spreads through your veins,

1674
04:35:52.400 --> 04:35:59.240
traveling to each and every single part of your body,

1675
04:36:05.159 --> 04:36:10.040
and you start to realize that actually that healing energy.

1676
04:36:12.240 --> 04:36:17.840
It's not just entered into your brain, it's.

1677
04:36:17.720 --> 04:36:29.639
Become part of your brain, and that spinal fluid is

1678
04:36:29.759 --> 04:36:40.680
now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you to

1679
04:36:41.040 --> 04:36:44.000
feel so much more relaxed.

1680
04:36:45.479 --> 04:36:54.159
And healthy in this moment, but also.

1681
04:36:56.759 --> 04:37:05.319
You start to realize to actually, what's happening now without healing,

1682
04:37:06.360 --> 04:37:16.000
relaxing energy spreading through your body is actually changing your life.

1683
04:37:21.119 --> 04:37:26.240
It's actually changing the way you're going to feel not

1684
04:37:26.560 --> 04:37:33.919
just now, but tomorrow and the next day. As your

1685
04:37:34.040 --> 04:37:42.119
health improves, not just your physical health but your mental health.

1686
04:37:46.080 --> 04:37:51.240
Things that used to bother you in the past, for

1687
04:37:51.400 --> 04:37:57.439
some reason, no longer have the effect that they used

1688
04:37:57.479 --> 04:38:11.759
to because something has changed deep within you. Maybe things

1689
04:38:12.080 --> 04:38:21.680
that used to cause you to feel anger no longer

1690
04:38:22.080 --> 04:38:31.759
have that power to control you the way they seem

1691
04:38:31.880 --> 04:38:40.759
to be able to before. As you realize that you're

1692
04:38:40.880 --> 04:38:53.560
the one who decides what affects you. You're the one

1693
04:38:54.200 --> 04:39:01.479
who decides to feel relaxed and calm.

1694
04:39:02.799 --> 04:39:05.000
When you choose.

1695
04:39:08.200 --> 04:39:22.720
To enjoy noticing these natural developments and healing, continuing to.

1696
04:39:22.880 --> 04:39:37.240
Grow and improve your life day by day, including of course,

1697
04:39:37.360 --> 04:39:38.639
your ability.

1698
04:39:40.200 --> 04:39:55.319
To relax so much easier and sleeping. It's the most

1699
04:39:55.599 --> 04:40:06.560
natural thing in the world to you, because falling asleep

1700
04:40:06.799 --> 04:40:08.279
is something that you've.

1701
04:40:08.200 --> 04:40:13.119
Done so many times.

1702
04:40:14.439 --> 04:40:20.040
In your life, and you know that you were born,

1703
04:40:21.560 --> 04:40:22.560
as we all were.

1704
04:40:23.240 --> 04:40:25.080
With the ability.

1705
04:40:26.240 --> 04:40:39.560
To fall asleep naturally. You're born with that ability to

1706
04:40:40.000 --> 04:40:41.360
just drift.

1707
04:40:42.799 --> 04:40:47.520
Off into a deep, healing sleep.

1708
04:40:53.479 --> 04:40:58.279
Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep when we

1709
04:40:58.360 --> 04:41:02.919
don't even want to try and tell you to stay awake.

1710
04:41:04.319 --> 04:41:07.759
Maybe it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas

1711
04:41:07.959 --> 04:41:09.919
or holiday.

1712
04:41:09.599 --> 04:41:10.840
Or something we look forward to.

1713
04:41:11.479 --> 04:41:15.479
I don't want to go to sleep. But the more

1714
04:41:16.080 --> 04:41:20.959
you want to stay awake, the more we just start

1715
04:41:21.040 --> 04:41:21.599
to drift.

1716
04:41:25.759 --> 04:41:29.439
And the more you fight it drifting, the more you

1717
04:41:29.560 --> 04:41:34.119
try to stop yourself from drift in a safe the

1718
04:41:34.319 --> 04:41:46.159
deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not

1719
04:41:46.479 --> 04:41:52.560
just with the need to relax deeply and to naturally

1720
04:41:52.720 --> 04:42:02.880
fall asleep. But it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA,

1721
04:42:09.919 --> 04:42:14.959
and sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at

1722
04:42:15.200 --> 04:42:28.319
times we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's not only

1723
04:42:29.520 --> 04:42:39.279
a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's.

1724
04:42:39.119 --> 04:42:40.840
Also really easy.

1725
04:42:52.240 --> 04:42:59.680
It's very very easy to let go, because that's all

1726
04:42:59.759 --> 04:42:59.919
it is.

1727
04:43:00.279 --> 04:43:00.720
It's just.

1728
04:43:04.240 --> 04:43:15.680
Deciding to let go. And when you press the play

1729
04:43:15.759 --> 04:43:23.959
button on my recordings, you have given permission.

1730
04:43:25.759 --> 04:43:28.959
For my voice to relax you.

1731
04:43:32.639 --> 04:43:36.919
When you press that play button, you've given me permission

1732
04:43:38.159 --> 04:43:51.840
for my words to effect you in a positive, only

1733
04:43:52.400 --> 04:43:58.240
a positive way. Opening up.

1734
04:44:03.360 --> 04:44:16.360
The mind. Two useful and healing suggestions.

1735
04:44:20.919 --> 04:44:21.599
They can have.

1736
04:44:26.159 --> 04:44:33.560
Such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,

1737
04:44:38.319 --> 04:44:48.159
as well as those changes that continue long after the

1738
04:44:48.279 --> 04:44:58.919
recording ends, those changes within you, they continue to flourish

1739
04:44:59.759 --> 04:45:14.400
and grow, transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way,

1740
04:45:17.479 --> 04:45:24.520
allowing you to move forward in your life in the

1741
04:45:24.680 --> 04:45:26.880
direction that you choose.

1742
04:45:28.080 --> 04:45:28.880
For yourself.

1743
04:45:37.959 --> 04:45:49.959
And this feeling, this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,

1744
04:45:57.720 --> 04:46:11.680
this feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

1745
04:46:19.599 --> 04:46:33.400
and that positivity grows within you each and every day,

1746
04:46:36.479 --> 04:46:49.119
moving forward, you had to find you're more relaxed physically

1747
04:46:52.319 --> 04:47:01.040
and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's not

1748
04:47:01.240 --> 04:47:06.880
that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind would

1749
04:47:06.880 --> 04:47:18.959
be less unlocked up if unnecessary negativity. Because from now on.

1750
04:47:19.639 --> 04:47:23.400
Your mind rejects negativity.

1751
04:47:27.400 --> 04:47:29.360
From now on, you're going.

1752
04:47:29.240 --> 04:47:46.319
To start noticing when negativity arises. You can just say stop, stop,

1753
04:47:49.200 --> 04:47:55.959
and then negativity will turn around and leave you alone.

1754
04:48:03.919 --> 04:48:10.599
Stop and that negativity.

1755
04:48:12.959 --> 04:48:27.159
Would disappear. And as you notice that, you feel way

1756
04:48:27.479 --> 04:48:45.279
more relaxed than you probably expected. Now, congratulate yourself because

1757
04:48:45.479 --> 04:48:51.880
you're the person that has done this. You are the

1758
04:48:52.040 --> 04:48:57.759
one that has opened your mind up to the simple facts.

1759
04:49:01.200 --> 04:49:06.240
You can feel more relaxed in your body and in

1760
04:49:06.319 --> 04:49:18.360
your mind. You've opened your mind up to the birthright

1761
04:49:18.560 --> 04:49:27.119
of being able to just fall asleep easily when you choose.

1762
04:49:35.799 --> 04:49:37.599
And that's a nice feeling.

1763
04:49:38.880 --> 04:49:39.479
Don't you think?

1764
04:49:42.240 --> 04:49:43.479
Who's nice? Doesn't it.

1765
04:49:46.560 --> 04:49:53.599
To feel calm for the healing energies spreading through your

1766
04:49:53.680 --> 04:50:03.639
body in your mind, spend time.

1767
04:50:05.720 --> 04:50:07.880
A special place where.

1768
04:50:10.560 --> 04:50:24.159
Negativity can no longer enter. Negativity is bad, it's bad,

1769
04:50:25.599 --> 04:50:32.520
it's not allowed. Entrigue doesn't doesn't this doesn't deserve to

1770
04:50:32.599 --> 04:50:34.840
be here, doesn't belong here.

1771
04:50:38.560 --> 04:50:53.680
Negativity has no place in your life, which makes room.

1772
04:50:53.639 --> 04:51:07.599
For more comfort, more heathing, more relaxation, more peace.

1773
04:51:24.720 --> 04:51:26.000
Whom's nice? Doesn't it?

1774
04:51:27.840 --> 04:51:32.040
Just the neck.

1775
04:51:35.720 --> 04:51:54.360
Everything? The count down now from twenty down to one.

1776
04:51:57.799 --> 04:51:59.479
He can continue to.

1777
04:52:02.599 --> 04:52:04.479
He choose, you can.

1778
04:52:07.439 --> 04:52:10.000
True not to sleep.

1779
04:52:13.360 --> 04:52:23.119
A definite number. He d me say, you can feel

1780
04:52:24.240 --> 04:52:29.880
twice is relaxed, or you choose.

1781
04:52:29.799 --> 04:52:33.360
You can feel not wise to sleeping.

1782
04:52:39.840 --> 04:54:14.840
Now. Twenty ninety eight, seventeen six World.

1783
04:54:11.479 --> 04:54:19.520
Day, No

1784
04:54:27.599 --> 04:54:27.799
Hey,
