00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:07.240
Hello and welcome. My name's Jason Newland. This is going

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:19.800
to be a phobia recording. Yeah, a phobia recording. So

3
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.800
I don't know whether to focus on a particular phobia

4
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:32.200
or just generalize it. I will decide at some point

5
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:37.880
during a recording. So please only listen when you can

6
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:45.600
safety close your eyes. This isn't a sleep recording, although

7
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:52.079
you might find yourself falling asleep because apparently my voice

8
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:59.520
is not the most exciting voice. It's not well, a

9
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.840
different a stimulation maybe, but it's not doesn't apparently get

10
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:12.680
people feeling wide awake. Oh well, I'll put up with it.

11
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:22.359
I don't mind, so, h okay, I'm going to have that.

12
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:31.239
It's going to be a phobia of a phobia of snakes.

13
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:42.799
Let's do a phobia of snakes. So, of course I

14
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.599
don't know where the phobia. If you've got phobia snakes,

15
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.680
where it comes from. I'll put snake phobia in the title,

16
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.840
so don't worry. So I guess only people with snake

17
00:01:53.879 --> 00:02:01.519
phobias would listen. The first question is what's the likelihood

18
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:09.520
of you actually seeing a snake? Now, if you live

19
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.039
in the country where I live, it's really unlikely It's

20
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.840
about as likely as seeing an elephant. You know, it's

21
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:23.680
just not likely to happen. I mean, we do have snakes,

22
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.800
grass snakes and adders and things like that, but I

23
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.360
think I've only ever seen one in the wild once

24
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.319
when I was a kid. I say, in the wild,

25
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:38.879
but outside. But my friend downstad stairs he did have

26
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:46.280
two snakes, and that was the first time because I

27
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:53.560
hated snakes just but from my I do have a

28
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.039
phobia snake, I don't have it anymore. I have a

29
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:04.599
healthy wariness because I think it's good to be wary of.

30
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:11.479
Like it's still you know, you need to be wary

31
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.599
of something like a snake or maybe a you know,

32
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.639
you don't have to be scared of a lion, but

33
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.000
if you see, if you see a lion coming towards you,

34
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.560
then you need to be active. You need to be

35
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.400
aware of the situation. You know. I'm I'm not scared

36
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.439
of crocodiles, but it doesn't mean that if I see

37
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.159
a crocodile, I'm just going to go up and start

38
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:43.800
patting it on their head, you know. So you know,

39
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.080
if I was on a boat and I saw a

40
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.960
shark poking its nose up in the out of the water.

41
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.639
I wouldn't go to give it a kiss. You know,

42
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.039
I'm not scared of sharks, but in that scenario, i'd

43
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:05.039
have to kind of hopefully my brain would work. So,

44
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.120
you know, don't be picking up snakes if you don't

45
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.919
know anything about snakes. But then you could say that

46
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.680
same is like don't pick up a dog or a cat,

47
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.560
you know, unless you've got to know how to handle them,

48
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.439
or a monkey. I was going to say giraffe, but

49
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.519
I don't even know if you could pick a giraffe

50
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.800
up when it was born, when it's first born, because

51
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.639
they're probably the size of a horse, and they when

52
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:42.639
they're first born. I don't have very tall. Blimey. I

53
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.399
think it's the tallest animal I've ever seen. I had

54
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.120
a funny incident happened though, because I went to the zoo.

55
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.759
This is years ago, BlimE me. You got seven sixteen

56
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.480
years ago, fifteen years ago, and no, probably sixteen seventeen

57
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.519
years ago. So I went to the zoo and there

58
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.079
was they were cleaning the animals so that they had elephants

59
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.560
and then they had giraffes kind of within the same

60
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.240
kind of area, and they were hosing them down and stuff,

61
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.000
and there was a big part of school kids were

62
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.319
sort of watching and now I think they were feeding

63
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:32.160
the elephants or I don't know, something like that. So

64
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.319
I'm looking at the other side because on this bridge

65
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.800
so you could look down, so I was looking at

66
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.319
other stuff, and suddenly I he all these like, well

67
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.920
here the teachers laughing, and I hear the kids laughing.

68
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.920
So I'm like, okay, my trousers fallen down again, but

69
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.360
they hadn't, so I turned around to see what's going on,

70
00:05:54.399 --> 00:06:02.480
and there was two giraffes and one was getting it

71
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:10.319
on with the other one, and it was Yeah, it

72
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.800
was just very funny because it was so inappropriate, but

73
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.240
in the same side, like, it's just animals doing what

74
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:26.199
animals do, but it was very funny. Anyway, that's not

75
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:30.319
really relevant to the story, is it. He started off

76
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.040
talking about snake phobias and ended up talking about giraffes

77
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:41.639
making love and in a zoo like exhibitionists as well,

78
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.040
like h no, well yeah, but no, that's not what

79
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.480
I was kind of going to talk about. So part

80
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.720
of how I do what I do and why I

81
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:59.000
do what I do is to try and take away

82
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:05.439
some of the seriousiness of something like a phobia, because

83
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.360
you know, what does it get you, what does it

84
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:12.800
give you? What benefits are there? If the benefit is

85
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.560
to keep you safe, then you don't need to have

86
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:20.399
a phobia of it to keep you safe seeing a

87
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:25.160
picture of a snake. You don't need anything to keep

88
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:30.800
you safe from a picture. Hm, this isn't Jumanji is

89
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.079
in Jimanji jimandi Jimanji. You know it's not going to

90
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.720
not going to pop out of the book. You don't

91
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.199
need to keep safe from a video of a snake

92
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:48.120
or seeing snakes on television. You don't. You know, you

93
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:55.040
haven't got to feel safe for that because you are safe.

94
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:01.160
So the idea that a phobic response can be created

95
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:06.519
just by thinking about something that's not useful, how is

96
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:12.519
that helpful to you? It's just not, is it? I

97
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:34.080
mean generally, you know, realistically, it's seriously unuseful. So I

98
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.080
guess it's putting it into perspective in a sense of

99
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:46.080
you know, when is it useful to be concerned about snakes?

100
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.799
There is a time, you know, if it's a snake.

101
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.200
I guess just generally, you know, if you're traveling through

102
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.720
India or through a country where there's snakes that can

103
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.799
be poisonous, then yeah, you be careful, you see one,

104
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:11.480
you keep away from it. But it's not something that

105
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.360
we need to think about, is it? Like on a

106
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:22.120
regular basis. I don't even think regularly about things I like,

107
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:27.679
never mind things I don't like. You know, there's a

108
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.600
few things I like to do in life, but I'm

109
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:37.320
not thinking about it when I'm not doing it. Well generally,

110
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.639
I suppose that's the benefit of just focusing on what

111
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.120
you're doing when you're doing it and then moving on.

112
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.240
Perhaps you could change the phobia, swap it with something else.

113
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.240
What would be something that you'd be happy to be

114
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:05.559
scared of that you're never going to do, Like for me,

115
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:10.559
bungee jumping. I'm scared to bungee jump. I'm never going

116
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:15.960
to bungee jump. It will never happen ever, ever, never

117
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.039
going to happen. So I'm happy. I'm quite happy to

118
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.399
a bungee jump. In phobia. I wouldn't say it's a phobia,

119
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.720
it's a bungee jump, you know. It says something I'll

120
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.440
be scared to do, but I'm never going to do,

121
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.639
and I'd never see any reasonable point to doing it

122
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.000
in the same way I wouldn't jump out of a plane.

123
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.159
There's certain things I just wouldn't do, not because, yeah,

124
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:47.720
partly because I'm scared to do them. But logically it's

125
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:52.639
normal to be scared to do stuff like that. It's like,

126
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.720
what's the point? What benefit is there? I understand some

127
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.720
people get benefit by overcoming fears and stuff like that,

128
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.000
but I wouldn't see that as a benefit for me

129
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.519
personally because I'm never I'm never going to do it.

130
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:08.559
I'm never going to do it. It's as simple as that.

131
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.960
I'm never going to ride on the back of an alligator.

132
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:18.679
That's just not going to happen. I'm not going to

133
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:23.080
swim with sharks. That's not going to happen, hopefully, you know,

134
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:30.639
not not on purpose anyway. So in that situation, I

135
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:35.919
would be scared. And again, some people get something from that.

136
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.360
But what could you be scared of? What could you change?

137
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:45.320
What could you transfer that phobia to? My sam not

138
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.000
a weird idea, and it's possibly something that you've never

139
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:56.120
really thought about before, so you can make up right, Vinny, Thinny,

140
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:59.639
my little Jack Russell here is it looked like it

141
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.000
was about to just sit down and stare at me.

142
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.759
But I think it's time we went We're going to

143
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.679
go out again in a little while. Are we being

144
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:13.440
ah early? Start today? Six thirty this morning, wasn't it? Yeah?

145
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:18.440
Six thirty? But unfortunately, hey, you growl like me, a

146
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.799
little monkey. Unfortunately he saw a dog that he didn't

147
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:27.639
like and he barked, which is way too early, way

148
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:34.320
too early to be barking. Wasn't it a A yes?

149
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:43.639
So think of something really absurd that you would be

150
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:49.679
scared to do, not really absurd. It could be something

151
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:59.480
like eating the largest I don't know, I don't know

152
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:03.240
what it could be. It could be building the biggest

153
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:14.159
sand castle in history, digging the biggest trench. You could

154
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:26.919
be phobic against drinking nothing, but I don't know what

155
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.519
would be a weird thing to drink, bol drinking nothing

156
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.960
but bovril. So you could have a phobia of traveling

157
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.360
through a desert and drinking nothing but bovril, which is

158
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:49.759
the least the least hydrating drink. I would say there is,

159
00:13:51.159 --> 00:14:02.039
and it's like marmite but with liquid. So maybe you

160
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.679
can think of an idea for yourself, something that you

161
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.360
could be that's never going to happen. So it can

162
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.120
be something like jumping out of a plane, or it

163
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.840
could be swimming with sharks, something you've never been bothered

164
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:23.759
about before. But maybe you can have that phobia because

165
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:38.159
you're never going to do it. Have a phobia be

166
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:43.679
you know of like falling into a volcano. Unlikely it's

167
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.200
going to happen. I mean, if you're going to be

168
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:53.360
like balancing on the court on the edges of a volcano, yeah,

169
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:57.039
maybe it might happen. But I say edges, I don't know.

170
00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:02.080
How are they thin? The volcanoes had thin edges. I

171
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.159
don't know. I've never been on a volcano. I'm never

172
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:08.320
going to be on a volcano. The closest thing I'm

173
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.080
never going to be to a volcano is watching it

174
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:20.639
on Telly. So what would be an absolutely ridiculous phobia

175
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.679
that you can have to replace the snake phobia that

176
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.639
you used to have. What could be a nice replacement.

177
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.039
I think part of the snake phobia with humans is

178
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.840
there's that whole kind of with a lot of people

179
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:51.039
is the they've had a bad reputation, and they snakes

180
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:55.360
have had a bad reputation throughout history. A lot of

181
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:02.559
a lot of kind of historical. A lot of religiously

182
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.639
stories that have contained snakes, and they've never been good

183
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:10.200
guys of they he never really However, often do you

184
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:16.039
see a snake as the star of the show. I

185
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.360
mean it depends. Yeah, I'm in a natural snake, not

186
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:26.200
a person that Yeah, a n actual snake, mind you

187
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.440
the Jungle Book. I quite like that snake because it

188
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:36.320
was hypnotic. But yeah, who I want to be like you.

189
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:45.000
We used to have someone at work and he just

190
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:51.279
copied everyone. He copied everyone. It's almost like he didn't

191
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.720
have his own identity and he wanted I guess he

192
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:58.360
wanted to fit in stuff. But when everyone in anyone

193
00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:04.599
says something, he just copied it, okay, And so it

194
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.000
became so obvious that in the end, whenever he started

195
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.799
doing it, whenever he started copying someone, we'd all stop working,

196
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.799
turn around, start dancing and singing, Oh, I want to

197
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:19.000
be like you. Oh I want to walk like you,

198
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:24.359
talk like you. And then we just turned back and

199
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:30.440
carry on working. Because it's in the factory. To this day,

200
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:32.160
I don't think he even knew what was going on,

201
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:38.160
and I still don't think he understood that we was subtly,

202
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:44.480
subtly trying to subtily. Does some people pronounce that sub

203
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.240
to league because it's got to be in it. It's subtle,

204
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:57.640
not subtle. Ah. So on the snake phobia thing that

205
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.559
you add, what what is it? So we think a snake,

206
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:06.400
snaky snake, snake sake? What just imagine one in you

207
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.119
in your mind? What is it on a level of like?

208
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.599
Is it like ten? Is it a fifty? Is at

209
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:20.640
one hundred? Is it zero? Where is it on a scale?

210
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:27.720
I mean, how high does that scale of like absolute

211
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:31.759
let's say, not pleasure, non pleasure? How how high is

212
00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:34.559
it at the moment? How high was it before you

213
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:43.119
started listening to me biabling on about stuff? How high

214
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:47.559
was it then before I started being Some would argue

215
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:52.119
a bit of random random, don't worry, this is what

216
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.599
I do. It might seem strange if if you're listening

217
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:59.599
to me for the first time, If this is just

218
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:05.880
what I do, this isn't anything unusual. It's unusual, but

219
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:10.839
it's not unusual for me because it's how my brain works.

220
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:17.599
So unfortunately, and because I have to deal with it,

221
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:26.319
I share it with others. That's my punishment. So where

222
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.920
is it. What scale is it? Are you still bothered

223
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.960
the same way as you was? It's what we can do.

224
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:43.359
Imagine imagine someone that you really like, like a celebrity,

225
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:48.880
someone that you really okay, someone that you fancy, maybe

226
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:54.319
even someone that you find very attractive, or just perhaps

227
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:59.319
somebody that you've you've always wanted to meet. So if

228
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.880
you saw them, and let's say you were staying in

229
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:07.079
a hotel and you see them in the hotel lobby

230
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.920
and you think, what the heck? Why are they there?

231
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:14.279
How do you know there's there's a superstar? Why or

232
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.240
whatever it is? You want to go up and sayalo,

233
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:24.480
and you see that they've got a snake around the neck,

234
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:31.359
They've got off a pet snake. What do you do?

235
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:36.599
Do you still want to go and saylo? Do you

236
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:41.359
still what? How does that change? Do you know what

237
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.480
I mean? How does that? How is that a little

238
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:54.359
bit different? Realizing that actually there's motivation there because you

239
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:57.440
want to go and do you want to meet this person?

240
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.119
Someone maybe you've wanted to meet for decades, even since

241
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:05.640
she was a child, he wanted to meet It's like, oh,

242
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:11.039
I'd love to meet this person, but I have a

243
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.759
snake wrapped around their neck as a pet, of course.

244
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.359
Plus it's a good opener, isn't it. I excuse me.

245
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:21.839
I don't know if you noticed that. I hope not

246
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:23.519
to disturb you, but I just want to let you

247
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:27.000
know there's a snake around your neck. It's an opener,

248
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:31.079
isn't it. It's an opening line. I did that to

249
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.480
a neighbor the other day. I saw my neighbor go

250
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:35.960
out in his dressing gown and get in his car.

251
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:41.079
So he rode up the road and turned round and

252
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:43.400
started coming back, and I kind of got in front

253
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:47.880
of the car. They stopped and he said what I said,

254
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:54.160
I think you forgot to get dressed. And I think

255
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:55.480
it was we it too early in the morning, so

256
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.680
I think he got annoyed a little bit. But I

257
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.640
thought it was funny. I'm a delivery person. It was funny,

258
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.039
so but I just thought it was just I knew

259
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:05.480
what he was doing because he was just going to

260
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.880
park the car around the back. But it was like,

261
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:16.240
you on the way to work, you've forgotten to get dressed. Uh.

262
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.799
That was a bit more of a miss than to

263
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:24.079
hit that one. But it doesn't matter. But it's an opener,

264
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:33.920
isn't it maybe not very good, opener, I don't think so.

265
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:47.079
Say if if you want the lottery and to get

266
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:52.440
the money, he had to walk through a shop full

267
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.319
of snakes behind in glass cases, you know, but he

268
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.519
had to walk all the way through a big long

269
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:07.519
It's not an Auba twire, it avery ovary whatever. They're called,

270
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.359
the snakes living. But you goalk all the way through

271
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:18.799
that in order to collect the money. Would you do it? Motivation?

272
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:31.160
So it's a feeling, one feeling versus another feeling, that

273
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:36.200
feeling that you had before versus the feeling of being

274
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:47.200
extremely wealthy with life changing money. You could take it

275
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.640
a bit further, say, okay, once you get that this

276
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:54.119
so you can have the money. But if you look

277
00:23:54.160 --> 00:24:00.279
in a small print, you do have to stroke snake.

278
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:05.640
But you don't have to do it now. The money

279
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:09.720
will stay here. All you've got to do is stroke

280
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:19.039
the snake. Come back as often as you want. So

281
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:22.599
it sounded like there was more coming in that sentence.

282
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.960
Isn't it come back as often as you want? And no,

283
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:28.240
that was the end there was. That was a full stop.

284
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:32.000
So come back as often as you want. That will

285
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:36.279
do better on't it? So you can keep visiting there

286
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:41.599
every day with those millions and millions in a big

287
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:49.319
briefcase or whatever money comes in, but you're not allowed

288
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:54.200
that money. So you've walked through the aquarium. Is an

289
00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:58.640
aquarium a varium? I think avarium might be the word.

290
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:02.759
She walked through all these snakes on each side. Now

291
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:05.640
you're not even thinking about those anymore. That's not even

292
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:11.720
an issue. You're thinking about touching the snake, but you're

293
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:23.119
also thinking about the money. Yet, previous to this situation,

294
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.319
you would not have wanted to have walked. In fact,

295
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.480
you wouldn't have walked all the way through there with

296
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:35.200
those snakes in cases, glass cases either side. You wouldn't

297
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:38.759
have done that. But now that's almost like it's not

298
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:45.400
even relevant anymore. So you walk into the end. You've

299
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:49.359
got the person there. So what if the person is

300
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.319
there is the person that you really have always wanted

301
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:57.319
to see, always wanted to meet, a childhood hero, maybe

302
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:04.559
your favorite singer, your favorite actor. Maybe it's someone that

303
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:08.680
you've you've got you're secretly in love with. I don't know,

304
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:13.039
it could be anything. What would you do? Would you

305
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:25.480
would you stroke the snake? It's just about benefits. What

306
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:29.200
what would you do for the benefits. What benefits outweigh

307
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.480
or more stronger because it's emotions ultimately, isn't it? So

308
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:42.559
what emotions outweigh the old emotions, So that feeling as

309
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:48.160
you stand there, maybe there's a big table full of cash.

310
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.160
Maybe maybe it's not in a suitcase. It's just a big,

311
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:56.880
massive table full of cash like you're seeing those in Yeah,

312
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:59.880
you see it in movies, don't you, sometimes where they

313
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:02.240
go into a bank and a vault and it's just

314
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:08.720
on a like a crate or a palette, just full

315
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:15.440
of cash, millions and millions. But you can't even take

316
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:32.720
one banknote until you stroke that snake. It's just kind

317
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:39.799
of like, Okay, what would you do? What do you

318
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:43.400
imagine yourself doing? Do you mention this self like, no,

319
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:50.480
keep the money, I don't need money, or do you

320
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:59.519
see yourself motivated? Maybe you start to think perhaps the

321
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:05.720
idea of changing phobias, it's not a bad idea. Find

322
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:10.279
something you're never ever going to do ever in your life.

323
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:16.200
So have a phobia of walking on the moon when

324
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:19.000
you're ever going to walk on the moon. That's a

325
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:23.279
nice phobia to have as far as it's never going

326
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:26.759
to affect you. So now it's something you're never going

327
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:40.160
to have to do, traveling through space, digging down to

328
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.440
the Earth's core. You know, it's something that you're very

329
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:56.039
unlikely to ever do. So having a phobia for that

330
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:01.720
walking on the moon, that's not a bad phobia to

331
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:05.279
have if you swap it over, especially if it makes

332
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:10.359
you rich. But to be fair, even better than money

333
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:17.279
is to have that freedom, because once one phobia goes,

334
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:28.039
the others seem to just flip away, Like as I say, bingos,

335
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:35.599
but dominoes they can't bingos. Bingo cards, I mean bingo

336
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:44.440
cards are just flattened. They that makes no sense, So

337
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:54.960
it weakens it though. It's the old analogy, isn't it.

338
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.279
Like if you've got a bit of steel, you can

339
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:01.519
bend it, keep bending it, keep bending it. Eventually it

340
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:05.680
will just snap. When I say bend it, I'm not

341
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.119
talking about me bending it, but you know, sort of

342
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:15.599
probably machinery. But eventually it will snap because it becomes

343
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:22.880
a weak or weaker the more it's bent. So that

344
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:45.480
thing that was super solid it's now just gone. Accidentally,

345
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.160
sometimes because listening to this you might have thought, oh

346
00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:52.119
I just listened to this, This is going to be.

347
00:30:55.720 --> 00:31:00.799
Especially after first hearing me, you might thought, oh, this

348
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:04.079
is just ridiculous. He's just talking crap. He's talking a

349
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:08.559
bunch of crap. It sounds like he's you're on drugs

350
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:11.319
or something. I'm not. I'm on medication, but not I'm

351
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:20.720
on drugs. I'm on medication. Don't worry, You're safe. But

352
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:27.680
then sometimes listening to something like this can have almost

353
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:38.359
like an accidental benefit, because your mind changes in a way.

354
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:51.039
It can change the way that you view yourself and

355
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:57.160
the way you think about things, and those images and

356
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.119
maybe those little movie clips that you used to play

357
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:11.559
in the past about snakes seemed to have become a

358
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:20.200
little bit muffled. So I've got video tapes, I say videotapes,

359
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:23.359
got video that I made because I used to make

360
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:28.240
videos on YouTube, MySpace first, then YouTube, you know, nearly

361
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:34.960
twenty years ago, and some of those videos are just

362
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:41.599
worn out. It's even though it's digital, it's just terrible picture.

363
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:48.400
But at the time it wasn't that bad. And it's

364
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:54.440
a little bit like facts or not facts. A photocopy is.

365
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:58.039
I don't know if people usually they use photocopies anymore,

366
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:02.359
but you do the first photocopy is a really good picture.

367
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:07.559
But then when you take a photocopy of a photocopy,

368
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:11.920
then a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy, eventually

369
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:20.359
it's a terrible picture. And it's a little bit like

370
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:24.799
that with memories sometimes, because our memories get muddled together anyway,

371
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:32.079
that's been proven by psychology experts that even our memories

372
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:38.119
aren't exact or precise. Which is the same meaning really isn't.

373
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:46.559
I don't know why I said it twice? But how

374
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.440
you view yourself? How has it changed just in this

375
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:54.359
last little bit of time that were spent together, this

376
00:33:54.720 --> 00:34:04.599
quality time of nonsense. It goes back to the first question.

377
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:12.519
What benefit is there to have any kind of emotional

378
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:18.039
reaction to snakes? Where's the benefit? How does it improving

379
00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:30.159
your life? How's it improving your day to day? Is

380
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:36.639
it making you rich? Is it improving your health?

381
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.159
So?

382
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:51.440
How often would you need to go back to that table,

383
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:55.960
walking past the snakes in the glass cases that you're

384
00:34:55.960 --> 00:35:00.840
not even noticing anymore? How long would it take? How

385
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:04.559
often would you need to visit looking at that big

386
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:12.000
pile of money before you were able to stroke that snake?

387
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:24.800
How fed up. Would you keep visiting and leaving, especially

388
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:27.159
when you think about what you could do with that

389
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:43.000
money and how you could help others. So eventually he say, okay,

390
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:55.519
i'll I'll stroke the snake and you touch it. I'll

391
00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:02.920
touch the snake. I did. My friend at a snake.

392
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:11.079
I touched it. It was all right, didn't excite me,

393
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:18.599
didn't repulse me. I was neutral, you know, I touched it.

394
00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:25.960
I didn't suddenly want to start collecting snakes. You know,

395
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:28.519
every time I see a snake on TV, I don't

396
00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:33.039
do handstands. You know, I'm not that excited by it.

397
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:40.480
But I just I touched one. Yeah, it's just it's

398
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:48.599
a snake. But I wasn't. I didn't care about it

399
00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:53.320
anymore because you know, those snakes were in my friend's

400
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:57.960
flat downstairs. They weren't always in the case. Often they

401
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:04.480
were just he was holding them, and I just got

402
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:20.599
used to it. Almost didn't care. Really, Okay, he loved them.

403
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:24.599
I didn't really get that. I didn't really understand. But

404
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:30.119
then he didn't understand. Why what is it, Finny, I

405
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:35.199
was only rubbing your tummy. It was such a wallly.

406
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:39.599
Sometimes I was rubbing your tummy. You should be in

407
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:43.360
a good mood. You've had treats, You've been out, haven't you.

408
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:48.400
He I think it's a bit too warm for him today.

409
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:54.360
I think it's uh, it's cloudy outside, but it is

410
00:37:54.440 --> 00:38:00.320
still fairly warm. So yeah, it's kind of of one

411
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:13.639
of those things. It's amazing how easily our minds change.

412
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:16.679
I know, there's this whole thing, well it takes ages

413
00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:23.079
to change Mary mate, all that stuff, but actually sometimes

414
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:28.920
it can be instantly. I remember there was this, uh,

415
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:34.239
this female that worked in an office and I just

416
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:39.079
I took a dislike to her. I don't know why.

417
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:43.079
I just just she seemed I don't know, it's something

418
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:46.880
about I didn't like, and she just came didn't come

419
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:52.800
across as particularly nice person. There's no real reason for that.

420
00:38:55.679 --> 00:39:01.440
And then we had the annual ball, the company annual ball,

421
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:08.280
and I was seated next to her. She was lovely,

422
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:16.360
really nice person. We had a good laugh and we

423
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:19.199
just hadn't talked. We hadn't spoken to each other before.

424
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:23.360
She was in a different team to me, there was

425
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:27.079
no reason for us to really communicate. But I would

426
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:34.519
see a walk past and stick a finger up at me. No,

427
00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:42.719
she didn't didn't do that. But I kind of regreted

428
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:45.239
putting chew incumbing her hair after that, and I did

429
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.719
I didn't put che in coming a hair. I didn't.

430
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:55.400
But it's it's just how that way I felt changed.

431
00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:59.440
Oh another time I was when I worked in a

432
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:02.880
call center. I was talking to this man, the customer,

433
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:06.719
and he was an absolute ass all the way through

434
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:12.719
the recording, grumpy miserable, which is guess another word for grumpy,

435
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.599
isn't it. But he didn't want to answer any of

436
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:19.239
the questions. And with car insurance there's a lot of

437
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:24.559
questions and he was awkward all the way through. And

438
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:26.559
then right at the end, I asked him if you've

439
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:30.599
got any medical conditions, that's part of the questionnaire. He said, yeah,

440
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:36.519
he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's, only just diagnosed. As soon

441
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:46.400
as he said that, our relationship changed and we were

442
00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:51.840
just for something changed. It's like we got on, we

443
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:59.159
were laughing and we got married last year. No we didn't,

444
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:02.239
but yeah, it was that. Really, it's like completely changed.

445
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:11.280
His attitude towards me changed. My attitude towards him changed instantly,

446
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:20.440
like bang done. So changes. Don't have to take ages

447
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:27.280
and ages and ages in fact, there's ways of changing

448
00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:31.559
something a lot quicker than the length of this recording.

449
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:35.280
But I think it's worth heard a bit of fudd

450
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:36.000
along the way.

451
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:36.639
You know.

452
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.719
So, if you've got two images, putting one next to

453
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:51.960
each other, one's image of walking on the moon, the

454
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:58.920
other image is of a snake, we just have to

455
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:04.920
choose one. Choose one that you're not bothered by, Choose

456
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:10.960
one that you would not do. So it's not like

457
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:13.559
you're bothered by a picture of someone walking on the moon,

458
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:19.599
because ultimately, you know, what does it matter. It's just

459
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:21.800
a picture and you probably see it many times over

460
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:26.960
the years. But the idea of walking on the moon

461
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:28.880
yourself is not something that you're going to want to do.

462
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:35.039
Or you could go even sillier with it. Forget the

463
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:49.440
moon bit. Imagine trying to Yeah, so I'm just thinking

464
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:52.519
of a helicopter made of cheese. So trying to take

465
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:54.840
off in a helicopter made of cheese? Would you do it?

466
00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:59.000
So if someone said to it, I know it's ridiculous,

467
00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:05.000
but it's supposed to be. If someone said, oh, we're

468
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:08.840
going to take you in a helicopter, I said, okay,

469
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:16.039
helicopter ride, and and you walk up and it's you'd like,

470
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:19.960
wait a minute, that looks like it's made of cheese,

471
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.239
and they laugh and say, yeah, it is a it's

472
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:33.440
a new prototype. And you say, but it's made of cheese.

473
00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:41.719
I said, yeah, all of it, I said, yeah, yeah,

474
00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:46.400
apart from the engine. Unfortunately, the engine it just kept melting,

475
00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:51.760
so we didn't we couldn't couldn't have a cheesey engine.

476
00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:58.360
But everything else is cheese. And the good thing is

477
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:00.119
when you're inside, if you look a bit hungry, you

478
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.639
can just take a little bit off, have a little bite.

479
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:11.119
Some people bring their own bread lord toaster. I said,

480
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:15.840
what about the propellers, Yeah, propellers made of cheese? Would

481
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:18.079
you get into that? I mean, I'd get into it,

482
00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:21.199
but I wouldn't want to go up in it. I

483
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:23.480
don't have a little look. I mean, how could you

484
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:25.960
not want to have a little look? But would you

485
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:29.239
get up? Would you go up in that helicopter if

486
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:39.199
it was made all of cheese? Or if you're about

487
00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:41.599
to go on a big cruise and you got there,

488
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.480
you got to the ferry or wherever it was that

489
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:50.480
the ships are, and you saw your ship and instead

490
00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:54.079
of being like the normal ships, it was a huge,

491
00:44:56.280 --> 00:45:04.639
huge piece of paper shaped into a boat same size

492
00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.519
as a ship, but just one huge piece of paper,

493
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:13.880
and it was floating on the water and they said,

494
00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:16.880
that's your ship. Let me show you to your cabin.

495
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:24.159
Is a cabin made of cheese? By anyway? And how

496
00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:31.320
did you know? Would you get on that ship? So

497
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:33.920
may argue this is getting a bit absurd. What's this

498
00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:40.960
got to do with not caring about snakes? But I'm

499
00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:44.960
just thinking, if you think of an absurd situation that

500
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:47.960
you wouldn't be worried about because it's not going to

501
00:45:48.000 --> 00:46:03.360
happen anyway, I think of another thing. Let's think I

502
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:05.159
can't think that. There's lots of things, but I mean,

503
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:09.519
I don't want to get too caught up in absurdities.

504
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:20.679
But what would you choose? Maybe a train made of

505
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:26.719
match sticks? Match sticks do still exist, I think, so

506
00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:39.599
a train made of match sticks, an oven made of

507
00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:42.480
match sticks? Wow, that wouldn't be a good idea, but

508
00:46:42.599 --> 00:47:01.199
it get to use it once self lighting. So when

509
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:09.000
you think about snakes, what's changed? Be honest? What is

510
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:13.280
you're bothered by? It? Really bothered by a snake? Ooh

511
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:19.880
a snake? Is it that might come across as a

512
00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:24.719
bit mocking, but I guess it was supposed to it,

513
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:35.960
not a bad way, just in a mocking way, in

514
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:42.039
a way where it sounds like someone is doing a

515
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.000
washing up down there, but they're doing it angrily and

516
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:48.199
angry washer upper, don't we get that? You hear that,

517
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:52.599
and they're just smashing the plates down, which is funny

518
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:56.559
because the only one person lives down there. Maybe it's

519
00:47:56.559 --> 00:48:00.760
a month's worth of washing up. I did that once.

520
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:05.559
I had about twenty plates loads of stuff. In the end,

521
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.000
I had to do wash them in the bath to

522
00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:11.280
soak them in the bath because they were just solid.

523
00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:15.440
Everything on them was solid. Now I've only got one plate,

524
00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:21.159
two dishes, one plate, two spoons, one knife, one fork,

525
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:26.320
which means I can't I can't really get behind in

526
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:34.440
the washing up. You may wonder what's that got to

527
00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:42.960
do with not caring about not caring about the snakes

528
00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:47.360
washing up and how many plates I've got. I don't know.

529
00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:54.440
It might have something to do with it. I mean,

530
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:57.519
this is like, let me boil your phobia away, So.

531
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:01.119
It is.

532
00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:04.639
That's kind of what it is. Did I mention that

533
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:07.239
let me boil your phobia away? At the beginning. I

534
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:11.400
don't know if I did. Sorry. Yeah, so this is

535
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:13.400
when I just talk about a phobia and I just

536
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:19.280
waff along. I've actually got a podcast specifically for this.

537
00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:24.840
I believe it or not. Oh yes, I do, I

538
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:28.480
really really do. I can't believe it, but I do.

539
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:42.239
I might have some ice cream ice cream. That's a

540
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:44.079
good time about it. That's a good time. That's a

541
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:47.320
good thing about the time this time of year, because

542
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:54.119
I like to have the odd cornetto probably once a day.

543
00:49:55.679 --> 00:49:57.440
That might be a little bit too often, but yeah,

544
00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:00.840
I like to do like a little bit of ice cream.

545
00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:04.239
I do also need to be careful my sugar intake,

546
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:08.480
but I don't think there's any sugar in ice cream.

547
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:13.320
And the cone it's chocolate. There's no sugar in chocolate either,

548
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:17.639
I don't think, so it should be fine. I don't

549
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:22.599
know about the cone though, the cone, the cornetto cone,

550
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:24.559
I don't know if there's any sugar in that, but

551
00:50:24.599 --> 00:50:30.840
the rest of it should be fine. And the strawberry sauce,

552
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:32.920
well that's strawberries, so they're good for you, and they

553
00:50:33.840 --> 00:50:37.880
so imagine the sauce is just made of pure strawberries,

554
00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:42.639
perhaps melted strawberries, because when strawberries melt, they go or gooey,

555
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:52.000
don't they Or that's more, when they dissolve, if they

556
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:55.239
are frozen, or if you tread on them, they go

557
00:50:55.239 --> 00:51:06.440
gooby as well. How do you feel different to the

558
00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:13.840
way you felt before you decided to listen to my

559
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:25.079
squeaky voice talking maybe about random things throughout this recording,

560
00:51:26.920 --> 00:51:30.480
perhaps not as serious as you thought it was going

561
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:37.119
to be, possibly, but how do you feel though? That's

562
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:42.159
the thing that's the bottom line as far as I'm concerned,

563
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:46.400
regardless of what I do or say, It's about how

564
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:59.760
you feel different, how you could notice those changes with

565
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:11.519
the in yourself, and perhaps you're surprised at those changes.

566
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:36.400
Maybe just notice how relaxed you feel, and how you

567
00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:55.480
realize that your mind changes so easily. And once you

568
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:59.320
realize that you're no longer bothered by snakes, you know

569
00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:12.159
long above by them, it's that simple, and you can relax,

570
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:44.159
really really relax, let go completely, dissolve completely, And maybe

571
00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:49.480
maybe you've noticed, or maybe you haven't noticed, that your

572
00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:54.519
mind has slowed down. You breathe and slow down and

573
00:53:54.559 --> 00:54:10.880
become deeper naturally, your body is relaxed. Maybe you've noticed,

574
00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:17.199
or maybe you haven't noticed, that you're feeling good, you're

575
00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:24.719
feeling calm. Perhaps those parts of your body, there are

576
00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:28.119
parts of your body that feel pleasure, and perhaps that

577
00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:39.679
pleasure can spread and you can feel that sense of

578
00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:45.800
release not just in your muscles, but in your bones

579
00:54:48.679 --> 00:54:56.880
and your eyes, your face, and your shoulders and your back,

580
00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:07.480
your chest and your stomach, your neck, hands and fingers, arms,

581
00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:22.679
your hips, legs, feet and toes, all the way from

582
00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:30.159
the top of your head, moving down your spine, moving

583
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:46.280
through your nervous system to every single part of your body. Calming, loosening, relaxing, peaceful,

584
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:55.800
And that brings us to the end of this recording.

585
00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:01.480
So please remember to be to yourself because you do

586
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:06.119
deserve to be happy, and be gentle of yourself, because

587
00:56:06.159 --> 00:56:12.559
you deserve to feel safe. And you can listen to

588
00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:16.119
this as many times as you need to, and every

589
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:23.880
time you do listen, you become more relaxed and your

590
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:29.039
mind will open up and absorb more of the positivity.

591
00:56:33.199 --> 00:56:50.440
Lots of love. Bye, relax in a more deep and

592
00:56:53.440 --> 00:57:00.840
meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just

593
00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:11.199
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time.

594
00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:20.239
We spend together here, not just relaxed at the end

595
00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:24.719
of the recording when it's finished, and you can enjoy

596
00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:42.280
that sense of comfort and peace, but also I think

597
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:53.519
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation

598
00:57:55.880 --> 00:58:10.119
continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that

599
00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:22.639
you can still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe

600
00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:34.119
in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by

601
00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:42.199
listening regularly, especially if you find like some people do

602
00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:46.239
and myself as well. I sometimes I find one particular

603
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:56.360
recording that really resonates with me, and I just listen

604
00:58:56.440 --> 00:59:01.719
to it over and over again every morning, every evening.

605
00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:14.000
There was this recording from We're going back to about

606
00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:19.400
nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a

607
00:59:19.519 --> 00:59:28.960
guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really, and I

608
00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:32.360
managed to find it again and it still has the

609
00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:41.599
same effect on me. And part of it was the

610
00:59:41.719 --> 00:59:54.960
person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful, and I'd

611
00:59:55.039 --> 01:00:02.239
look forward to listening to her in the morning and

612
01:00:02.320 --> 01:00:13.400
in the evening. And I knew before even pressing the

613
01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:21.960
play button that since I've done that, pressed the play button.

614
01:00:22.719 --> 01:00:33.719
This is in the days of CD players, press the

615
01:00:33.800 --> 01:00:39.159
play button if that it might have even been a

616
01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:43.760
tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed and

617
01:00:43.800 --> 01:01:02.280
then even without necessarily listening to her words because I

618
01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:09.840
had them memorized. Really, it was as if my body

619
01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:25.199
knew exactly what to do, and the muscles just almost

620
01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:45.639
went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind would

621
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:46.360
slow down.

622
01:01:51.960 --> 01:01:52.400
Now.

623
01:01:54.320 --> 01:02:01.039
Now, I was listening to this recording in the early

624
01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:08.960
days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made

625
01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:16.840
any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start

626
01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:30.639
doing that till two thousand and six, I knew, I

627
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:44.280
knew how helpful I found being able to just let go,

628
01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:52.679
to have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

629
01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:08.400
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if

630
01:03:08.519 --> 01:03:17.880
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you

631
01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:29.639
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

632
01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:43.559
me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not

633
01:03:43.599 --> 01:03:49.920
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

634
01:03:51.760 --> 01:04:05.440
Some people may be listen every day. That's something that

635
01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:18.519
I do which you may not realize by listening, is

636
01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:37.599
when I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also

637
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:49.679
am affected by the words that I say. So if

638
01:04:49.719 --> 01:04:58.840
I said to you, focus on your feet, notice your

639
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:10.880
feet relaxed. I will be focusing on my feet. I

640
01:05:10.960 --> 01:05:28.719
will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus

641
01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:37.199
on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between each hand,

642
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:47.719
perhaps noticed the air in the room, the temperature of

643
01:05:47.760 --> 01:05:59.760
the room. On the backs of your hands, you may

644
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:08.159
are to notice what almost feels like a very light breeze,

645
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:12.920
even though there may not be any type of breeze

646
01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:25.880
at all where you are right now. And as you

647
01:06:25.960 --> 01:06:39.639
become aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how

648
01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:47.719
relaxed my hands are feeling.

649
01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:57.239
Now.

650
01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:09.920
And when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep,

651
01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:23.599
which may be the reason you're listening, I also feel

652
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:38.000
drowsy when I make these recordings. I also notice my

653
01:07:38.280 --> 01:07:54.599
mind drifting. In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep

654
01:08:00.199 --> 01:08:14.679
without even noticing, and then I carry on talking. It's

655
01:08:14.719 --> 01:08:23.800
only when I listen back to do the editing I

656
01:08:23.880 --> 01:08:33.159
hear snoring and I think, I don't remember snoring. I

657
01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:39.920
remember talking. Was this snoring was a pig turned up?

658
01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:51.319
That's why I sound like when I snare and I

659
01:08:51.359 --> 01:09:04.880
get really into the whole experience. I don't know how

660
01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:17.520
you feel, how relaxed you feel in your feet, how

661
01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:43.119
relaxed you feel in your hands. I have noticed more

662
01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:59.840
and more that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort

663
01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:17.000
you feel, the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like

664
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:37.840
that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows you to breathe

665
01:10:38.199 --> 01:11:04.119
easier without necessarily focusing on your breath, however, being able

666
01:11:04.199 --> 01:11:33.520
to notice the ease in which you breathe so naturally.

667
01:11:48.159 --> 01:12:30.479
You breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine

668
01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:46.920
my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed, I

669
01:12:47.119 --> 01:13:00.560
tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and flowers

670
01:13:07.399 --> 01:13:40.479
producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice two

671
01:13:42.000 --> 01:14:00.960
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

672
01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:44.800
enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity with a joyful heart.

673
01:15:10.119 --> 01:15:35.640
Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

674
01:15:41.520 --> 01:16:20.680
so deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

675
01:16:20.840 --> 01:17:32.560
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.

676
01:17:33.520 --> 01:18:20.239
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention, You can

677
01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:36.600
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip

678
01:18:37.359 --> 01:18:51.279
out of your body, to appear out of every part

679
01:18:57.119 --> 01:19:21.880
of your body, being released from your brain. Hung your

680
01:19:22.000 --> 01:20:13.199

681
01:20:18.119 --> 01:21:08.359

683
01:21:36.239 --> 01:22:17.279
part of your body further and deeper and deeper. Noticine,

684
01:22:17.560 --> 01:22:44.119

01:51:44.279 --> 01:51:53.279
focused your mind upon that sense of physical comfort that

721
01:51:53.439 --> 01:52:00.479
is growing within you throughout your body and You're mind

722
01:52:02.560 --> 01:52:11.000
starts to slow down, and that could be almost in

723
01:52:11.840 --> 01:52:20.479
recognition of I guess my speech not being particularly fast

724
01:52:27.000 --> 01:52:37.399
and things just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to

725
01:52:37.520 --> 01:52:46.199
my voice, you give yourself an opportunity to take a

726
01:52:46.239 --> 01:52:53.079
break from the day, take a break from your life

727
01:52:54.199 --> 01:53:02.680
as it is, and to give yourself a rest, giving

728
01:53:02.720 --> 01:53:10.319
yourself permission to take some time off and to allow

729
01:53:10.359 --> 01:53:16.560
your body to relax and allow your mind to slow down,

730
01:53:20.600 --> 01:53:28.399
which in turn releases the tension and he stresses that

731
01:53:28.439 --> 01:53:38.159
you had in your body. It's almost as if the

732
01:53:38.239 --> 01:53:43.279
parts of your body just open up, allowing the negativity

733
01:53:43.560 --> 01:53:55.479
out and at the same time replacing that negativity with

734
01:53:56.119 --> 01:54:05.800
positive heathing energy which then fills your body up and

735
01:54:05.880 --> 01:54:18.039
your mind to also starts to appreciate those feelings of

736
01:54:19.239 --> 01:54:38.760
increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy

737
01:54:39.119 --> 01:54:49.720
that spreads through your body like a wave of comfort,

738
01:54:54.520 --> 01:55:04.800
and all this comes and just allowing yourself a few minutes,

739
01:55:06.600 --> 01:55:09.680
maybe half an hour, however long you want it to be,

740
01:55:11.119 --> 01:55:13.439
to just rest.

741
01:55:18.399 --> 01:55:19.439
And allow.

742
01:55:21.560 --> 01:55:31.560
Your mind and your body to almost reset itself to

743
01:55:31.680 --> 01:55:47.880
the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more

744
01:55:48.039 --> 01:56:01.479
room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around

745
01:56:01.680 --> 01:56:09.920
your body and into your mind, almost as if your

746
01:56:10.039 --> 01:56:21.119
mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each other,

747
01:56:22.119 --> 01:56:36.399
with that growing positivity and calmness, And it feels nice.

748
01:56:36.560 --> 01:56:42.600
It really does feel nice to know that you are

749
01:56:42.640 --> 01:56:52.800
the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort

750
01:56:56.039 --> 01:57:09.560
and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout

751
01:57:09.640 --> 01:57:21.840
your body. And as I focus on each part of

752
01:57:21.920 --> 01:57:34.359
your body, you can notice that that part becomes even

753
01:57:35.359 --> 01:57:45.239
more relaxed just by focusing on it. It becomes even more

754
01:57:47.399 --> 01:57:58.119
calm and comfortable just by focusing. And as I move

755
01:57:58.520 --> 01:58:06.399
down your body, starting at your head, the parts that

756
01:58:06.439 --> 01:58:16.520
you've already focused on will continue to relax deeply, and

757
01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:22.760
those parts that we've not yet focused on or just

758
01:58:22.840 --> 01:58:35.239
automatically release any remain intention in anticipation of even more

759
01:58:35.840 --> 01:58:47.720
comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start by

760
01:58:47.760 --> 01:58:55.399
focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of the feelings

761
01:58:55.439 --> 01:59:05.760
of your forehead and any background sounds like mister Herbert

762
01:59:05.800 --> 01:59:11.359
the Pigeon can just allow you to feel even more relaxed.

763
01:59:15.239 --> 01:59:21.359
Just means you're in the moment. This isn't this isn't

764
01:59:21.359 --> 01:59:29.399
a sterile environment. This is the world. I live in

765
01:59:29.439 --> 01:59:41.800
the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around. So

766
01:59:41.840 --> 01:59:47.079
as you focus on your forehead, just notice how it

767
01:59:47.239 --> 01:59:57.159
becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on my

768
01:59:57.399 --> 02:00:06.960
voice and that part of your body. Moving down to

769
02:00:07.119 --> 02:00:20.199
your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your eyelids

770
02:00:20.279 --> 02:00:27.479
feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,

771
02:00:30.680 --> 02:00:41.359
and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely. Moving

772
02:00:41.479 --> 02:00:48.680
your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

773
02:00:49.880 --> 02:00:57.840
your teeth, and your gums, the whole of your mouth relaxing,

774
02:01:01.319 --> 02:01:11.720
calm and lease. As you focus now on your jawl

775
02:01:14.600 --> 02:01:18.199
not just the parts of your jaw near your mouth

776
02:01:18.960 --> 02:01:23.279
and your chin, but all the way up the size

777
02:01:23.319 --> 02:01:31.239
of your face to your ears, the hole of your jaw,

778
02:01:32.800 --> 02:01:59.880
feeding more relaxed and calm. Focusing on your neck, the

779
02:02:00.079 --> 02:02:07.600
front of your neck and your throat, relaxing and loose

780
02:02:08.279 --> 02:02:17.920
and calm. The sides of your neck, the right and

781
02:02:18.119 --> 02:02:36.760
left side of your neck, relax and loose and calm.

782
02:02:37.119 --> 02:02:44.000
And now the back of your neck. Focusing on the

783
02:02:44.079 --> 02:02:54.520
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

784
02:02:54.680 --> 02:03:03.600
may have been there before, and enjoying that sense of

785
02:03:04.560 --> 02:03:15.279
increasing comfort and release that you can experience in the

786
02:03:15.319 --> 02:03:27.600
back of your neck, moving down your back and moving

787
02:03:27.680 --> 02:03:32.079
the either side of your spine right from the top

788
02:03:32.159 --> 02:03:37.720
of your back all the way down to the bottom

789
02:03:37.760 --> 02:03:54.800
of your back down to your lower back. And as

790
02:03:54.840 --> 02:04:02.279
you move up and down your spine, you can feel

791
02:04:02.399 --> 02:04:10.159
the muscles either side of your spine relaxing even more.

792
02:04:17.640 --> 02:04:24.439
And as those muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts

793
02:04:24.479 --> 02:04:34.600
to spread outwards from your spine into both sides of

794
02:04:34.720 --> 02:04:41.720
your back, the top of your back, the middle, and

795
02:04:41.840 --> 02:04:51.359
your lower back. And as you scan gently and slowly

796
02:04:52.560 --> 02:04:57.880
up and down your back, there's the muscles in the

797
02:04:57.960 --> 02:05:07.800
top of your back relax and become looser. The muscles

798
02:05:07.920 --> 02:05:13.600
in the middle of your back also seem to just

799
02:05:14.000 --> 02:05:28.520
almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting, And

800
02:05:28.720 --> 02:05:34.800
in your lower back it seems to be an extra

801
02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:51.000
special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips, so

802
02:05:51.239 --> 02:05:59.319
down your lower back, into your hips, into the area

803
02:05:59.399 --> 02:06:08.000
where you're six are, and into your buttocks, and all

804
02:06:08.000 --> 02:06:17.279
those muscles that spread from your lower back into your

805
02:06:17.399 --> 02:06:30.760
hip area start to melt, start to really let go.

806
02:06:37.159 --> 02:06:38.600
I don't even know where.

807
02:06:39.439 --> 02:06:45.359
About to focus on your shoulders. Your back and your

808
02:06:45.439 --> 02:07:03.800
spine will continue to let go, continue to relax so calmly,

809
02:07:08.479 --> 02:07:13.439
and as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice

810
02:07:13.640 --> 02:07:43.920
that they're already feeding, really loose, they're already feeding calm,

811
02:07:44.159 --> 02:07:55.119
and they're feeding those muscles. Then move from your neck

812
02:07:56.520 --> 02:08:16.000
into your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth.

813
02:08:21.520 --> 02:08:33.960
And calm, and.

814
02:08:33.920 --> 02:08:46.800
The feeling in your shoulders seens to spread deep into

815
02:08:46.840 --> 02:08:57.319
your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

816
02:08:57.680 --> 02:09:14.640
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

817
02:09:14.760 --> 02:09:23.600
all away to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area

818
02:09:23.760 --> 02:09:33.560
between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms healing.

819
02:09:38.920 --> 02:09:51.840
You feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders. Who

820
02:09:52.199 --> 02:10:14.119
sends that deep healing message into your arms and you

821
02:10:14.239 --> 02:10:19.960
may feel almost as if your arms are not even there,

822
02:10:21.479 --> 02:10:58.199
because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm,

823
02:10:58.479 --> 02:11:20.399
so loose, not feeling spreading all the way down your arms,

824
02:11:23.079 --> 02:11:53.680
two elbows, including your elbows circumforts, spreads all away into wrists,

825
02:11:55.960 --> 02:11:59.760
your forearments, and your wrists.

826
02:12:05.960 --> 02:12:07.239
So heavy.

827
02:12:10.439 --> 02:12:51.640
Yet at the same time so light and gentle folds.

828
02:12:54.199 --> 02:13:51.560
Now on your hands, my hands, so peaceful in your hands,

829
02:13:51.399 --> 02:14:14.560
the sense of real peace. It just seems to I

830
02:14:14.640 --> 02:14:53.239
feel so familiar when your hands relax deeply ees your

831
02:14:53.359 --> 02:16:30.560
thingers you think it's sadly your finger tips m moving

832
02:16:30.880 --> 02:16:49.319
your attention to the front of your body, so comfortable,

833
02:17:00.280 --> 02:18:27.040
moving in your focus. You your legs, what muscles in

834
02:18:27.200 --> 02:19:21.079
your thighs, your knees, so relaxed, a carved mussels and

835
02:19:21.360 --> 02:21:29.600
just shames co pusedly. Four the feathing in your feet,

836
02:21:36.600 --> 02:22:27.520
so peaceful, so calm, so peaceful, so calm, so peaceful,

837
02:22:31.120 --> 02:23:09.000
so com so peace for re sing, peace for so calm.

838
02:23:09.319 --> 02:23:17.159
Allowing that deep relaxation to spread your chest, in your stomach,

839
02:23:20.840 --> 02:23:48.600
so letting go h everything. So I'm gonna start counting

840
02:23:48.719 --> 02:24:00.479
down now, from twenty down to one. You can imagine

841
02:24:00.479 --> 02:24:04.559
in a way it's like just walking down some steps

842
02:24:06.120 --> 02:24:10.479
and each step or twenty steps, and each step represents

843
02:24:11.760 --> 02:24:24.799
a level of comfort, each step represents a deepening of

844
02:24:24.840 --> 02:24:35.600
that comfort, and the furvies you walk down those steps,

845
02:24:35.719 --> 02:24:48.200
the deeper and more relaxed you feel. So starting with

846
02:24:48.399 --> 02:30:20.600
number twenty twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, three four four

847
02:30:21.040 --> 02:37:46.040
see too well five eight nine height seven.

848
02:37:04.879 --> 02:39:39.600
Four five.

849
02:40:58.280 --> 02:45:27.959
Four U s one. And now.

850
02:45:31.479 --> 02:45:43.799
As you focus on your eyes, we're going to count

851
02:45:43.879 --> 02:45:55.719
down from ten douts one, focusing just on your eyes.

852
02:45:59.399 --> 02:46:06.440
Your eye, it's the muscles around your eyes, your eye

853
02:46:06.680 --> 02:46:25.360
walls themselves, a whole area that makes up your eye.

854
02:46:26.040 --> 02:46:33.600
And as we count down from ten down to one,

855
02:46:33.840 --> 02:46:46.840
whilst focus in on your eyes, you'll become twice is

856
02:46:47.000 --> 02:46:59.479
relaxed with each number counting down, and you may find

857
02:47:03.000 --> 02:47:08.840
the all you want to do is just drift off

858
02:47:09.120 --> 02:47:18.280
to sleep. And if that's what you want, then just

859
02:47:18.399 --> 02:47:31.520
allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes,

860
02:47:33.600 --> 02:47:39.040
I'm going to begin counting down from ten down to

861
02:47:39.200 --> 02:53:03.200
one right now, ten nine eight seven y five four.

862
02:54:16.280 --> 02:56:58.079
Three two one two.

863
02:57:05.559 --> 02:57:19.639
Counting down from ten to one ten nine eight seven six.

864
02:57:21.520 --> 02:57:24.760
Five four.

865
02:57:27.319 --> 02:57:31.520
Three two.

866
02:57:33.399 --> 02:57:40.079
One.

867
02:57:40.639 --> 02:57:43.559
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

868
02:57:43.600 --> 02:57:47.559
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

869
02:57:47.879 --> 02:57:57.600
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

870
02:57:57.600 --> 02:58:01.479
little bit of pressure there, like you're counting down from

871
02:58:01.520 --> 02:58:04.319
ten to one. Would you expect me to do? Man?

872
02:58:05.120 --> 02:58:08.879
Expect me to stick go with floppy just because you're

873
02:58:08.879 --> 02:58:16.639
counting down. We could try it again.

874
02:58:17.600 --> 02:58:19.520
But this time I go this lower.

875
02:58:21.600 --> 02:58:26.479
This time, as you focus on the whole of your

876
02:58:26.520 --> 02:58:34.920
body before we focus on your legs. Just notice how

877
02:58:34.959 --> 02:58:49.079
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every

878
02:58:49.200 --> 03:00:02.600
number that I count down ten nine eight, seven, six, five, four, three,

879
03:00:02.879 --> 03:00:40.639
two one, And just notice how how you feel, generally,

880
03:00:41.000 --> 03:00:55.360
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

881
03:00:55.440 --> 03:01:02.680
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

882
03:01:03.920 --> 03:01:22.399
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

883
03:01:27.079 --> 03:01:32.319
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

884
03:01:32.479 --> 03:01:39.120
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So

885
03:01:39.799 --> 03:01:42.840
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

886
03:01:42.840 --> 03:01:53.879
a space, a gap. And the more I comed down

887
03:01:53.879 --> 03:02:01.319
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

888
03:02:01.440 --> 03:02:13.840
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

889
03:02:13.959 --> 03:02:28.040
nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically

890
03:02:28.159 --> 03:02:31.079
or emotionally, moves them.

891
03:02:32.200 --> 03:02:38.360
Away.

892
03:02:39.360 --> 03:02:40.799
Allows you.

893
03:02:43.000 --> 03:02:43.600
To just.

894
03:02:46.520 --> 03:02:53.280
Slow down. Someone to count again from ten down to one,

895
03:02:53.680 --> 03:03:03.920
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

896
03:03:03.959 --> 03:03:10.040
it's almost like the thestress and attention falls into the

897
03:03:10.079 --> 03:03:35.600
gap and gives you that distance, that space. Now ten

898
03:03:40.120 --> 03:04:31.760
nine eight, seven, six, five, four.

899
03:04:49.600 --> 03:05:32.040
Three two.

900
03:05:24.840 --> 03:05:41.079
One. Now, how does your body feel.

901
03:05:42.959 --> 03:05:54.600
Now?

902
03:05:55.840 --> 03:06:09.760
Can you notice that do you feeling calmer, the feeling

903
03:06:10.879 --> 03:06:38.319
more relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just

904
03:06:38.440 --> 03:06:59.840
your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs.

905
03:07:14.600 --> 03:07:18.959
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be doing,

906
03:07:19.719 --> 03:07:26.120
because I'm sure like most of your body is not

907
03:07:26.159 --> 03:07:38.440
a lot going on right now, Just focusing on the

908
03:07:38.479 --> 03:07:44.559
whole of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the

909
03:07:44.840 --> 03:07:51.520
sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your

910
03:07:51.559 --> 03:07:56.920
outer thighs, and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of

911
03:07:56.959 --> 03:08:04.799
your thigh that leads into your head and it goes

912
03:08:05.799 --> 03:08:19.399
down to your knee joints. Now, this is a big area.

913
03:08:20.399 --> 03:08:25.360
It's a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the

914
03:08:25.440 --> 03:08:40.159
strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs. But

915
03:08:40.200 --> 03:08:48.760
I don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.

916
03:08:54.559 --> 03:09:05.319
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

917
03:09:05.479 --> 03:09:26.200
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

918
03:09:26.200 --> 03:09:36.680
for our lives. And it may seem sound really weird,

919
03:09:36.760 --> 03:09:45.239
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

920
03:09:45.239 --> 03:09:52.879
our thighs needs some TLC, a bit of love shown,

921
03:09:53.879 --> 03:10:11.959
a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what

922
03:10:12.000 --> 03:10:21.120
our thighs do for us. And I know this may

923
03:10:21.280 --> 03:10:27.559
sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I

924
03:10:27.719 --> 03:10:30.559
sure that I should be in the garden hugging a

925
03:10:30.639 --> 03:10:39.000
tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a microphone

926
03:10:39.079 --> 03:10:42.159
up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.

927
03:10:42.159 --> 03:10:45.719
Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. Now I

928
03:10:45.760 --> 03:10:54.520
can't see the television from the tree. If you move

929
03:10:54.600 --> 03:11:04.520
down to your knees, getting such an important part, and

930
03:11:04.520 --> 03:11:09.040
I think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here.

931
03:11:11.479 --> 03:11:16.639
I don't necessarily appreciate all that my needs do for

932
03:11:16.680 --> 03:11:23.159
me until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,

933
03:11:23.239 --> 03:11:28.200
if I ever maybe i'll pash it, or it's aching

934
03:11:28.360 --> 03:11:34.840
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much

935
03:11:34.879 --> 03:11:39.319
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to

936
03:11:39.479 --> 03:11:48.719
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

937
03:11:49.520 --> 03:11:58.280
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.

938
03:11:59.360 --> 03:12:06.479
You know that comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

939
03:12:08.520 --> 03:12:14.200
regardless of how your knees feel. You can have that

940
03:12:14.440 --> 03:12:20.639
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all

941
03:12:20.719 --> 03:12:33.040
that they do for you, and you can still have

942
03:12:33.079 --> 03:12:37.319
that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your

943
03:12:37.360 --> 03:12:42.680
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that.

944
03:12:42.520 --> 03:12:44.000
They are.

945
03:12:45.600 --> 03:13:01.959
Relaxing more deeply as you focus now on the bottoms

946
03:13:02.000 --> 03:13:06.440
of your legs, your shins, and your calf muscles. The

947
03:13:06.520 --> 03:13:14.280
bones between your knees and your feet incorporate, and of

948
03:13:14.319 --> 03:13:27.000
course your ankles so important. Anyone that's had even like

949
03:13:27.120 --> 03:13:34.000
the slightest sprain of an ankle knows how how much

950
03:13:34.159 --> 03:13:44.000
we take our ankles for granted. And it's kind of

951
03:13:44.079 --> 03:13:49.479
strange in a way when you think that. You know, logically,

952
03:13:49.799 --> 03:13:52.879
our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of

953
03:13:52.920 --> 03:13:57.799
our arms, which is okay, it doesn't can't see any

954
03:13:57.799 --> 03:14:02.760
problem with that because we just picking stuff up. But

955
03:14:02.879 --> 03:14:08.959
our ankles so much thinner than the rest of our legs,

956
03:14:15.360 --> 03:14:19.799
and from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't

957
03:14:19.840 --> 03:14:26.000
really make sense that all this weight would ultimately be

958
03:14:26.920 --> 03:14:37.000
resting on your ankles then leading to your feet. That

959
03:14:37.520 --> 03:14:46.559
thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work,

960
03:14:48.639 --> 03:14:58.399
supports us supports our body for a lifetime, helps us

961
03:14:58.840 --> 03:15:07.479
to balance, it helps you to get her around and

962
03:15:07.520 --> 03:15:21.600
be mobile. And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when

963
03:15:21.600 --> 03:15:24.760
I was younger, I couldn't see the point in calf muscles.

964
03:15:25.559 --> 03:15:30.440
Didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked around

965
03:15:30.479 --> 03:15:35.399
on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get some work. But

966
03:15:35.440 --> 03:15:38.120
of course that's not true. The calf muscles are being

967
03:15:38.200 --> 03:15:51.319
used whenever we use our legs, and your shins there

968
03:15:51.399 --> 03:16:02.319
to protect your lower legs, shaped in all way, almost

969
03:16:02.399 --> 03:16:14.200
as a protector for the bone, leading of course to

970
03:16:14.280 --> 03:16:24.399
your ankles and your feet. But we're not going to

971
03:16:24.440 --> 03:16:26.639
focus on your feet. We're just going to focus on

972
03:16:26.680 --> 03:16:33.680
the legs. I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet,

973
03:16:33.799 --> 03:16:38.479
it probably focuses on them anyway, So maybe I should

974
03:16:38.520 --> 03:16:44.520
focus on your feet a little bit. You can have

975
03:16:44.639 --> 03:16:49.920
them in your awareness the same as you have your

976
03:16:50.000 --> 03:16:54.280
thighs in your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing

977
03:16:54.920 --> 03:16:59.719
on your thighs for a few minutes, we've been focusing

978
03:16:59.760 --> 03:17:16.520
on your ankles, there's still that sensation of comfort in

979
03:17:16.559 --> 03:17:28.440
your thighs, and there's that movement of energy because the

980
03:17:28.520 --> 03:17:36.159
thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles,

981
03:17:36.719 --> 03:17:41.120
the big straw muscles that we have in our thighs.

982
03:17:49.520 --> 03:17:55.280
But the skin on the outside of the thighs, as

983
03:17:55.319 --> 03:17:59.840
in the outside of all of our body, can be

984
03:18:00.159 --> 03:18:17.799
very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature. And

985
03:18:17.959 --> 03:18:26.360
inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,

986
03:18:26.479 --> 03:18:32.440
the arch trees, it's all this stuff that's inside your thighs.

987
03:18:36.600 --> 03:18:39.760
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could

988
03:18:39.799 --> 03:18:45.360
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and a message,

989
03:18:47.520 --> 03:18:51.120
so you can message on the outside, of course, but

990
03:18:51.159 --> 03:18:54.319
to be able to get deep into the muscles and

991
03:18:54.360 --> 03:18:59.479
to be able to just message inside your thighs, message

992
03:18:59.520 --> 03:19:08.319
in the bone of your leg, massage in or the veins,

993
03:19:08.479 --> 03:19:18.680
and just gently healing your thighs, and you could move

994
03:19:18.879 --> 03:19:26.319
down message and inside your knees, just message in those bones,

995
03:19:27.239 --> 03:19:34.360
but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into

996
03:19:34.399 --> 03:19:43.879
the joints of your knees. Of course, there's the back

997
03:19:44.079 --> 03:19:49.000
of your your knee, you know, the inside crease where

998
03:19:49.040 --> 03:19:56.520
your knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Very it

999
03:19:56.520 --> 03:20:00.959
feels very nice when you stroke it might be because

1000
03:20:01.760 --> 03:20:06.799
it's an area that's not really touched very often. It's

1001
03:20:06.920 --> 03:20:13.479
almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1002
03:20:13.520 --> 03:20:20.600
It's almost it's like a part that has a sensitivity,

1003
03:20:20.639 --> 03:20:31.159
which is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected

1004
03:20:31.200 --> 03:20:42.559
by your legs. So you can imagine putting your fingers

1005
03:20:42.600 --> 03:20:52.040
into that crease in your legs, that fold in between

1006
03:20:52.079 --> 03:20:57.159
your legs. You can just message with your fingertips. Imagine

1007
03:20:57.159 --> 03:21:08.200
your fingertips going inside, massage in the muscle tissue you

1008
03:21:08.280 --> 03:21:14.440
can cause, field the the bones of your knees, healing

1009
03:21:14.559 --> 03:21:27.319
through your fingertips, and then as you go down to

1010
03:21:27.360 --> 03:21:30.200
your calf muscles. Now that's the part I'd like to

1011
03:21:30.200 --> 03:21:35.639
be able to really put my fingertips deep inside my

1012
03:21:35.799 --> 03:21:44.559
calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,

1013
03:21:46.120 --> 03:21:56.040
healing every part, and then doing the same for my shins,

1014
03:21:59.200 --> 03:22:07.440
massage and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them, hearing

1015
03:22:07.639 --> 03:22:11.760
in a loving way, because they deserve to be treated

1016
03:22:14.799 --> 03:22:18.959
as the precious bones that they are. Because our legs

1017
03:22:18.959 --> 03:22:22.360
are so precious as in all the other parts of

1018
03:22:22.399 --> 03:22:27.479
our body, and more precious of any jure.

1019
03:22:29.879 --> 03:22:30.600
On the planet.

1020
03:22:39.120 --> 03:22:50.879
When you start to think about your legs in this way,

1021
03:22:51.719 --> 03:22:58.399
it can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

1022
03:23:01.479 --> 03:23:05.760
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

1023
03:23:06.639 --> 03:23:16.639
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1024
03:23:16.760 --> 03:23:20.840
to be able to put your hands in your thighs

1025
03:23:22.600 --> 03:23:29.120
and massage the muscles and the bones, and to get

1026
03:23:29.120 --> 03:23:38.559
your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just to show.

1027
03:23:39.760 --> 03:23:41.120
How much you care.

1028
03:23:44.200 --> 03:23:49.319
About your legs, how much you care for what your

1029
03:23:49.399 --> 03:23:59.399
legs do for you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles,

1030
03:24:03.360 --> 03:24:11.200
the strength of your ankles, considering how thin they are

1031
03:24:11.239 --> 03:24:19.000
compared to the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah,

1032
03:24:19.040 --> 03:24:31.319
they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles

1033
03:24:31.479 --> 03:24:40.719
are truly a gift because of what they do for you,

1034
03:24:46.079 --> 03:24:53.040
supporting all that weight, regardless of how what weight you are,

1035
03:24:54.200 --> 03:24:59.000
even if you only ate stone, there's still a lot

1036
03:24:59.040 --> 03:25:05.440
of weight for the these little ankles. Now, I'm a

1037
03:25:05.479 --> 03:25:13.719
lot heavier than eight snoon double down, yet my ankles

1038
03:25:15.440 --> 03:25:23.120
support my body all the time, or they do give

1039
03:25:23.159 --> 03:25:27.719
off a sigh of relief when I sit down, as

1040
03:25:28.559 --> 03:25:35.760
I've had my whole legs do my feet, feet, also

1041
03:25:35.920 --> 03:26:03.440
go my toes clap, We're so happy. Your legs really

1042
03:26:04.840 --> 03:26:05.680
are amazing.

1043
03:26:08.239 --> 03:26:11.639
And I know that talking about talking about your.

1044
03:26:11.559 --> 03:26:18.440
Legs is probably possibly among the most most boring things

1045
03:26:18.520 --> 03:26:25.719
you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly you're boring or not.

1046
03:26:27.280 --> 03:26:42.799
Everything I said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your

1047
03:26:42.879 --> 03:26:55.520
legs deserve not just respect, they deserve to relax deeply.

1048
03:27:02.760 --> 03:27:06.159
They deserve to take some time out of the day

1049
03:27:08.319 --> 03:27:37.079
to just let go completely. Your legs really can relax.

1050
03:27:44.680 --> 03:27:48.840
And because the legs are so such a most you know,

1051
03:27:49.040 --> 03:27:55.000
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1052
03:27:55.079 --> 03:28:02.319
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that

1053
03:28:06.040 --> 03:28:17.000
journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

1054
03:28:18.280 --> 03:28:25.399
My hips feel really loose, and also my lwer back

1055
03:28:25.440 --> 03:28:25.840
as well.

1056
03:28:27.840 --> 03:28:28.840
My lower back.

1057
03:28:28.840 --> 03:28:34.360
Really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting

1058
03:28:34.440 --> 03:28:40.440
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as

1059
03:28:40.479 --> 03:28:43.559
I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if the

1060
03:28:43.639 --> 03:28:47.639
muscles are just relaxed so much that there is a

1061
03:28:47.760 --> 03:29:12.479
natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot. And

1062
03:29:12.520 --> 03:29:20.000
I'm now going to count down from ten down to one,

1063
03:29:20.239 --> 03:29:50.040
and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed. Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1064
03:29:54.239 --> 03:30:13.799
Four three two Why relax?

1065
03:30:21.680 --> 03:30:25.520
So I'm just going to count down from fire down

1066
03:30:25.520 --> 03:30:30.040
to one. And as a countdown, if you just focus

1067
03:30:30.079 --> 03:30:38.040
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

1068
03:30:38.920 --> 03:30:46.959
how you feel in this moment as you hear the

1069
03:30:47.040 --> 03:30:55.159
numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent

1070
03:30:56.120 --> 03:31:05.159
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also

1071
03:31:07.440 --> 03:31:14.079
relaxing your mind. I just notice how you feel. There's

1072
03:31:14.159 --> 03:31:19.959
nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to

1073
03:31:20.040 --> 03:32:11.520
think about, starting with number five four three two one.

1074
03:32:12.520 --> 03:32:24.840
As you notice the gradual letting go of the tension

1075
03:32:25.000 --> 03:32:32.239
in your body, you may also begin to notice and

1076
03:32:32.319 --> 03:32:41.319
be aware of how your mind is starting to slow down.

1077
03:32:43.799 --> 03:32:50.200
This is just a natural thing that happens. It's not

1078
03:32:50.360 --> 03:32:55.559
really a special procedure. It's just natural because as your

1079
03:32:56.840 --> 03:33:02.920
body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax. And the

1080
03:33:02.959 --> 03:33:06.680
more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's

1081
03:33:06.719 --> 03:33:18.959
just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that calmness

1082
03:33:19.000 --> 03:33:26.200
that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even if

1083
03:33:26.239 --> 03:33:33.799
there's background sounds either your side online, it's still going

1084
03:33:33.879 --> 03:33:38.959
to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got the

1085
03:33:39.040 --> 03:33:44.239
television on, there's no music in the background unless you're

1086
03:33:44.239 --> 03:33:51.840
listening to the recording. With music, of course, you're very

1087
03:33:52.000 --> 03:33:53.920
likely not going to be sitting in a room with

1088
03:33:54.000 --> 03:33:58.799
other people. Of course you might be, but generally it's

1089
03:33:59.440 --> 03:34:01.719
more idea if you can do this on your own,

1090
03:34:03.399 --> 03:34:13.559
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1091
03:34:20.040 --> 03:34:30.360
relaxation automatically rises, a sense of comfort starts to grow,

1092
03:34:34.840 --> 03:34:41.600
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1093
03:34:41.920 --> 03:34:53.719
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1094
03:34:53.799 --> 03:35:04.200
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost know. The

1095
03:35:04.479 --> 03:35:11.239
sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put no

1096
03:35:11.360 --> 03:35:15.959
effort into it. It's not something that you can really force.

1097
03:35:18.600 --> 03:35:27.959
It's something that happens naturally. And part of the process

1098
03:35:28.360 --> 03:35:39.600
of this recording and others is simply two allow you

1099
03:35:41.920 --> 03:35:52.879
to take advantage of this space. This time. It's just.

1100
03:35:56.959 --> 03:35:57.559
Let go.

1101
03:36:00.399 --> 03:36:08.680
To just be here, to be in tune with how

1102
03:36:08.719 --> 03:36:22.120
you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax

1103
03:36:22.239 --> 03:36:33.600
deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what

1104
03:36:33.799 --> 03:36:39.959
it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.

1105
03:36:46.879 --> 03:36:56.280
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process

1106
03:36:56.360 --> 03:37:02.040
of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep is the tiny

1107
03:37:02.079 --> 03:37:13.520
bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become, the

1108
03:37:13.680 --> 03:37:31.399
easier you find yourself drifting. But you can also if

1109
03:37:31.440 --> 03:37:47.399
you choose, stay focused on my voice and really enjoy

1110
03:37:48.239 --> 03:38:11.559
the process, gradually lax in each muscle in your body

1111
03:38:16.559 --> 03:38:45.760
effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.

1112
03:38:51.760 --> 03:38:58.399
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,

1113
03:39:00.639 --> 03:39:09.840
and you can notice your mind calming down more with

1114
03:39:10.200 --> 03:39:24.000
each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm

1115
03:39:24.399 --> 03:39:30.840
and slow and be peaceful.

1116
03:39:36.079 --> 03:42:28.840
Sex five four, three one. Being aware of how your.

1117
03:42:28.879 --> 03:42:57.959
Mind to slowed, write down, sinking deeply into relaxation. And

1118
03:42:58.079 --> 03:43:04.719
as you focus on your mind, do you may notice

1119
03:43:04.959 --> 03:43:14.120
that there are some thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn

1120
03:43:14.280 --> 03:43:30.040
thoughts that for some reason perhaps need your attention. So

1121
03:43:30.120 --> 03:43:38.840
what you can do is send love to those thoughts.

1122
03:43:42.079 --> 03:43:44.799
Sprinkle those thoughts.

1123
03:43:48.760 --> 03:43:49.639
With love.

1124
03:43:51.040 --> 03:43:56.440
Like all petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

1125
03:43:56.760 --> 03:44:03.959
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those

1126
03:44:04.120 --> 03:44:10.600
thoughts know that you're not abandon in them. You just

1127
03:44:11.000 --> 03:44:21.479
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,

1128
03:44:23.399 --> 03:44:25.479
quiet down.

1129
03:44:28.360 --> 03:44:28.920
For now.

1130
03:44:36.680 --> 03:44:41.680
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts as we

1131
03:44:41.840 --> 03:44:47.079
count down this time from seven down to one. With

1132
03:44:47.239 --> 03:45:01.200
each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

1133
03:45:02.719 --> 03:45:14.600
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1134
03:45:16.000 --> 03:45:31.079
melt away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts

1135
03:45:31.159 --> 03:46:08.719
will become more and more relaxed, starting with number seven, six.

1136
03:46:26.040 --> 03:48:12.280
Five, four, three two.

1137
03:47:57.559 --> 03:48:07.079
One.

1138
03:48:00.040 --> 03:48:15.959
Yeah, And as you now.

1139
03:48:19.719 --> 03:48:40.959
Notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body, we're going

1140
03:48:41.040 --> 03:48:54.879
to focus on your hands because the more relaxed your

1141
03:48:54.920 --> 03:49:01.840
hands are, the more relaxed your body and mind are.

1142
03:49:16.719 --> 03:49:26.559
And there's you focus on your hands and your fingers.

1143
03:49:28.319 --> 03:49:33.079
There's nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching of

1144
03:49:33.360 --> 03:49:37.920
fists or dents in the fingers or anything like that.

1145
03:49:45.159 --> 03:49:59.399
It's just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing.

1146
03:49:59.239 --> 03:50:00.000
How they feel.

1147
03:50:14.840 --> 03:50:25.479
Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the calmer your

1148
03:50:25.520 --> 03:50:37.440
mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout your body.

1149
03:50:42.559 --> 03:50:46.520
And you may.

1150
03:50:48.760 --> 03:51:31.280
Have already noticed your mind is starting to dress like

1151
03:51:31.600 --> 03:51:46.639
sense just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to

1152
03:51:49.079 --> 03:52:00.680
experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands

1153
03:52:00.680 --> 03:52:26.760
and fingers, more and more relaxed. With each number from

1154
03:52:26.920 --> 03:52:41.000
eight down to one. You can almost feel that healing

1155
03:52:41.719 --> 03:52:53.639
and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming

1156
03:52:58.120 --> 03:53:14.520
year and more relaxing with each number you hear, going

1157
03:53:14.639 --> 03:53:35.280
down eight down to one, drifting, drifting again starting with

1158
03:53:39.840 --> 03:57:37.000
number eight, seven, six, five, four, three, just being here now,

1159
03:57:40.639 --> 03:57:46.719
nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,

1160
03:57:50.840 --> 03:58:02.040
and everything just feels calmer. And this is your natural

1161
03:58:02.120 --> 03:58:10.040
state of being. This is how you just normally feel

1162
03:58:10.799 --> 03:58:18.079
when you take away all of that other stuff that

1163
03:58:18.200 --> 03:58:32.079
we add, you know, things like stress and worrying and overthinking, anxiety, tension,

1164
03:58:36.319 --> 03:58:43.319
just generally thinking about stuff. You take that away, which

1165
03:58:43.319 --> 03:58:52.559
is what we do. What we do now you're left

1166
03:58:52.680 --> 03:59:03.600
with a real sense of peacefulness which comes to you

1167
03:59:03.840 --> 03:59:17.799
very quickly, because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling

1168
03:59:18.840 --> 03:59:26.159
of comfort, almost as if you've gone inside yourself and

1169
03:59:26.280 --> 03:59:40.719
you've found a special place where everything is peaceful, a

1170
03:59:40.840 --> 03:59:48.520
place where you can feel relaxed and your natural sense

1171
03:59:48.600 --> 03:59:59.479
of comfort, a place where you can be you, where

1172
03:59:59.520 --> 04:00:03.520
you can accept yourself for who you.

1173
04:00:03.479 --> 04:00:08.239
Are, the place where you're not trying.

1174
04:00:07.959 --> 04:00:18.719
To please anybody else ever, a place where you can

1175
04:00:20.040 --> 04:00:28.799
actually not just love yourself, but in some ways more importantly,

1176
04:00:29.399 --> 04:00:46.520
you can like yourself appreciate who you are. That sense

1177
04:00:46.559 --> 04:01:00.280
of gratitude is in the air all around you. That's

1178
04:01:00.360 --> 04:01:08.840
also a place where you can actually feel the healing

1179
04:01:09.239 --> 04:01:26.079
energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into your body,

1180
04:01:29.079 --> 04:01:38.040
and that healing energy spreads through your veins, traveling to

1181
04:01:38.360 --> 04:01:50.440
each and every single part of your body, and you

1182
04:01:50.559 --> 04:01:57.520
start to realize that actually that healing energy, it's not

1183
04:01:57.799 --> 04:02:05.280
just entered into your brain, it's become part of your brain,

1184
04:02:10.200 --> 04:02:21.440
and that spinal fluid is now mixed with healing energy,

1185
04:02:22.079 --> 04:02:28.399
not just allowing you to feel so much more relaxed

1186
04:02:30.440 --> 04:02:42.440
and healthy in this moment, but also you start to

1187
04:02:42.600 --> 04:02:52.000
realize to actually, what's happening now with that healing, relaxing

1188
04:02:53.079 --> 04:03:00.319
energy spreading through your body, It's actually changed.

1189
04:03:00.079 --> 04:03:05.280
In your life.

1190
04:03:06.079 --> 04:03:09.840
It's actually the change in the way you're going to

1191
04:03:09.959 --> 04:03:16.799
feel not just now, but tomorrow and the next day.

1192
04:03:18.440 --> 04:03:25.959
As your health improves, not just your physical health but

1193
04:03:26.079 --> 04:03:33.520
your mental health. Things that used to bother you in

1194
04:03:33.600 --> 04:03:41.239
the past for some reason no longer have the effect

1195
04:03:41.680 --> 04:03:50.639
that they used to because something has changed deep within you.

1196
04:03:55.680 --> 04:04:02.120
Maybe things that used to calls you to feel anger

1197
04:04:05.920 --> 04:04:16.079
no longer have that power to control you the way

1198
04:04:16.120 --> 04:04:24.280
they seem to be able to before. As you realize

1199
04:04:25.159 --> 04:04:37.600
that you're the one who decides what affects you, you're

1200
04:04:38.079 --> 04:04:48.000
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm when

1201
04:04:48.879 --> 04:05:03.840
you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing

1202
04:05:06.360 --> 04:05:15.000
continuing to grow and improve your life day by day,

1203
04:05:20.840 --> 04:05:29.120
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier

1204
04:05:34.079 --> 04:05:44.239
and sleeping. It's the most natural thing in the world

1205
04:05:45.079 --> 04:05:55.840
to you, because falling asleep is something that you've done

1206
04:05:56.440 --> 04:06:04.159
so many times in your life, and you know that

1207
04:06:04.319 --> 04:06:09.600
you were born, as we all were, with the ability

1208
04:06:11.200 --> 04:06:21.520
to fall asleep naturally. We were born with that ability

1209
04:06:24.440 --> 04:06:38.760
to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep. Even

1210
04:06:38.799 --> 04:06:43.559
when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep and we don't

1211
04:06:43.559 --> 04:06:49.600
even want to try to take a stay awake. Maybe

1212
04:06:49.639 --> 04:06:53.000
it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or

1213
04:06:53.840 --> 04:06:55.920
holiday or something we look forward to.

1214
04:06:56.399 --> 04:07:01.159
We don't want to go to sleep. The more we.

1215
04:07:01.200 --> 04:07:06.079
Want to stay awake, the more we just start to

1216
04:07:06.200 --> 04:07:14.399
drift and the more you fight drifting. The more you

1217
04:07:14.520 --> 04:07:19.120
try to stop yourself and drift in a safe the

1218
04:07:19.280 --> 04:07:31.159
deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not

1219
04:07:31.440 --> 04:07:37.600
just with the need to relax deeply and to naturally

1220
04:07:37.680 --> 04:07:54.559
fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA,

1221
04:07:54.879 --> 04:07:59.840
and sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at

1222
04:08:00.159 --> 04:08:13.319
times we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's not only

1223
04:08:14.479 --> 04:08:38.079
a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very

1224
04:08:38.799 --> 04:08:45.159
very easy to let go, because that's all it is.

1225
04:08:45.200 --> 04:09:00.200
It's just deciding to let go. And when you press

1226
04:09:00.239 --> 04:09:08.399
the play button on my recordings, you have given permission

1227
04:09:10.719 --> 04:09:18.479
for my voice to relax you. When you press that

1228
04:09:18.600 --> 04:09:24.200
play button, you have given me permission for my words

1229
04:09:28.040 --> 04:09:41.559
to effect you in a positive, only a positive way,

1230
04:09:42.399 --> 04:10:05.959
opening up your mind too useful and healing suggestions that

1231
04:10:06.079 --> 04:10:17.399
can have such an amazing effect on how you feel

1232
04:10:18.000 --> 04:10:32.280
right now, as well as those changes that continue long

1233
04:10:32.600 --> 04:10:43.079
after the recording ends, those changes within you that continue

1234
04:10:43.120 --> 04:10:56.399
to flourish and grow, transforming your life in a positive,

1235
04:10:58.200 --> 04:11:07.799
beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in your life

1236
04:11:09.280 --> 04:11:24.079
in the direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling,

1237
04:11:26.840 --> 04:11:34.959
this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness.

1238
04:11:42.680 --> 04:11:56.799
This feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

1239
04:12:04.559 --> 04:12:18.360
and that positivity grows within you each and every day.

1240
04:12:21.399 --> 04:12:31.239
Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed

1241
04:12:33.559 --> 04:12:45.879
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's

1242
04:12:45.959 --> 04:12:51.520
not that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind

1243
04:12:51.600 --> 04:13:03.520
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from

1244
04:13:03.559 --> 04:13:13.879
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're

1245
04:13:13.920 --> 04:13:24.760
going to start noticing when negativity arises, and you can

1246
04:13:24.920 --> 04:13:36.200
just say stop, stop, and that negativity.

1247
04:13:37.799 --> 04:13:53.760
Will turn around and leave you alone. Stop and that

1248
04:13:54.000 --> 04:13:58.879
negativity will disappear.

1249
04:14:07.000 --> 04:14:13.520
And as you notice that you feel way more relaxed

1250
04:14:14.879 --> 04:14:30.280
than you probably expected, you can now congratulate yourself because

1251
04:14:30.479 --> 04:14:36.879
you're the person that has done this. You are the

1252
04:14:37.000 --> 04:14:42.079
one that has opened your mind up to the simple

1253
04:14:42.280 --> 04:14:50.200
facts that you can feel more relaxed in your body

1254
04:14:50.879 --> 04:15:00.159
and in your mind. You've opened your mind up to

1255
04:15:02.479 --> 04:15:09.079
the birthright of being able to just fall asleep easily

1256
04:15:10.120 --> 04:15:22.239
when you choose. And that's a nice feeling.

1257
04:15:23.799 --> 04:15:27.920
Don't you think it feels nice?

1258
04:15:28.040 --> 04:15:37.360
Doesn't it to feel calm full, that healing energy is

1259
04:15:37.479 --> 04:15:48.399
spreading through your body in your mind to spend time

1260
04:15:50.639 --> 04:16:06.639
a special place where negativity can no longer enter. Negativity

1261
04:16:06.760 --> 04:16:15.799
is banned, it's barred, it's not allowed Entryue doesn't it doesn't.

1262
04:16:15.840 --> 04:16:24.280
This doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't belong here. Negativity

1263
04:16:24.479 --> 04:16:38.680
has no place in your life, which makes room for

1264
04:16:38.959 --> 04:17:10.479
more comfort, more heathing, more relaxation, more peace. It feels nice,

1265
04:17:10.600 --> 04:17:12.360
doesn't it.

1266
04:17:12.799 --> 04:17:21.319
Just let go with everything.

1267
04:17:34.959 --> 04:17:42.000
I'm gonna count down now from twenty down to one.

1268
04:17:42.719 --> 04:17:49.760
You can continue to relax, if you choose, you can

1269
04:17:52.440 --> 04:18:02.920
drift to sleep. With every number you hear me say,

1270
04:18:07.239 --> 04:18:14.680
you can fill twice as relaxed, or if you choose,

1271
04:18:14.760 --> 04:19:22.600
you can fill twice sleeping now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen,

1272
04:19:31.639 --> 04:20:30.600
thirteen toelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six.

1273
04:20:38.600 --> 04:20:46.159
Five war.

1274
04:21:00.079 --> 04:21:28.280
Yeah, this is your time to just take a break,

1275
04:21:29.120 --> 04:21:40.200
your time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,

1276
04:21:48.840 --> 04:22:02.920
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything.

1277
04:22:07.639 --> 04:22:09.959
And you you're the only person.

1278
04:22:10.239 --> 04:22:15.760
That can make that decision. You're the only.

1279
04:22:15.600 --> 04:22:23.760
Person that can actually tell your mind to just relax,

1280
04:22:31.879 --> 04:22:32.440
to just.

1281
04:22:35.959 --> 04:22:37.399
Take some time.

1282
04:22:38.959 --> 04:22:50.799
Off so that you can focus on your body, getting

1283
04:22:51.200 --> 04:22:54.559
in touch with how you feel.

1284
04:22:55.760 --> 04:23:07.159
Physically, and in the process of.

1285
04:23:09.559 --> 04:23:14.319
This body scan, where you focus on different parts of

1286
04:23:14.360 --> 04:23:25.200
your body, those parts that you focus on and observe,

1287
04:23:28.120 --> 04:23:36.520
even though you're not purposely requesting for those parts of

1288
04:23:36.559 --> 04:23:44.319
your body to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect

1289
04:23:45.440 --> 04:23:53.120
when you listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally,

1290
04:23:58.639 --> 04:24:07.120
because when you're listening to me, your attention is focused

1291
04:24:08.760 --> 04:24:20.000
on my words, and as my words guide you to

1292
04:24:20.159 --> 04:24:32.600
focus on those parts of your body, your focus increases,

1293
04:24:39.639 --> 04:24:56.120
which actually calms your mind. And when your mind calms down,

1294
04:25:00.879 --> 04:25:01.799
your body.

1295
04:25:03.520 --> 04:25:15.479
Relaxes. And when your body.

1296
04:25:16.360 --> 04:25:36.239
Calms down, your mind relaxes. And even though who have

1297
04:25:36.280 --> 04:25:45.120
not really started to focus on your body, you can

1298
04:25:45.799 --> 04:26:01.159
already feel that healing energy spreading through your body, pushing

1299
04:26:01.399 --> 04:26:16.520
out stress and tension, healing all the parts of your body,

1300
04:26:17.559 --> 04:26:25.319
including your skin, your bones, your blood, all of your

1301
04:26:25.440 --> 04:26:31.280
organs inside your body, all of the muscles, all.

1302
04:26:31.120 --> 04:26:39.120
Of the fat, all of everything, every hair on your body.

1303
04:26:40.879 --> 04:26:57.360
Is filled without healing energy. And when your brain fills

1304
04:26:57.440 --> 04:27:12.000
with that healing energy, the feeding of comfort and relaxation.

1305
04:27:14.959 --> 04:27:25.840
Increases, deeply increases.

1306
04:27:31.399 --> 04:27:45.159
In a way that your mind starts to feel perhaps

1307
04:27:45.319 --> 04:27:47.200
bit drowsing.

1308
04:27:51.879 --> 04:27:57.799
Because it's not needed, and it may.

1309
04:27:58.040 --> 04:28:16.799
Start to drift if that's what's needed. So if you're

1310
04:28:16.879 --> 04:28:22.600
listening to this and what you need is deep relaxation,

1311
04:28:23.360 --> 04:28:28.000
that's what you get. If what you need is.

1312
04:28:29.559 --> 04:28:36.920
To fall asleep naturally and easily, that your mind drifts,

1313
04:28:39.040 --> 04:28:40.319
that's also.

1314
04:28:41.479 --> 04:28:54.280
Or what happened. Accuse by pressing that play button on

1315
04:28:54.440 --> 04:29:01.360
the podcast and listening to me, I give permission your

1316
04:29:01.520 --> 04:29:13.120
body in your mind. In fact, you give the command

1317
04:29:13.959 --> 04:29:24.879
to your body in your mind to relax deeply and

1318
04:29:25.040 --> 04:29:31.120
to drift off to sleep, if that's what you want.

1319
04:29:34.239 --> 04:29:34.680
Or need.

1320
04:29:42.360 --> 04:29:44.079
And as I focus.

1321
04:29:45.280 --> 04:29:55.799
On the different parts of your body, you may start.

1322
04:29:55.680 --> 04:29:57.000
To just drest.

1323
04:30:01.120 --> 04:30:05.600
And then you come back again and you hear me talking,

1324
04:30:05.319 --> 04:30:15.200
and I'm focusing on a different parts of your body,

1325
04:30:14.360 --> 04:30:19.879
and you may find yourself drifting.

1326
04:30:22.760 --> 04:30:28.399
You don't realize you're drifting until you stop drifting.

1327
04:30:29.840 --> 04:30:36.840
And you're alert again to my voice. Focusing on a

1328
04:30:37.000 --> 04:30:42.399
different part of your body starts to relax in deeper,

1329
04:30:46.760 --> 04:30:54.040
because that drifting is basically you already in.

1330
04:30:54.159 --> 04:30:55.200
The sleep side.

1331
04:31:01.760 --> 04:31:06.719
And the more you drift, the longer you drift, and

1332
04:31:06.879 --> 04:31:17.360
the longer you dreat Eventually, that drifting continues into sleep,

1333
04:31:22.360 --> 04:31:23.079
and that's.

1334
04:31:22.840 --> 04:31:24.639
The last you remember.

1335
04:31:26.239 --> 04:31:34.479
Until you wake up in your own time, when.

1336
04:31:34.360 --> 04:31:37.840
You experience the right amount of sleep.

1337
04:31:42.520 --> 04:31:46.159
Because when you do, and if you do.

1338
04:31:46.520 --> 04:31:48.000
All asleep, it's.

1339
04:31:50.479 --> 04:32:04.840
Extremely pleasant. So relaxing, deep healing sleep.

1340
04:32:12.959 --> 04:32:22.319
H It was so nice to relax into your own

1341
04:32:22.479 --> 04:32:32.520
body in mind as you feel that healing energy spreading

1342
04:32:32.959 --> 04:32:48.520
through it, relaxing new so deeply, relaxing, so so deeply.

1343
04:32:57.680 --> 04:33:02.319
We start to focus on your eyes.

1344
04:33:09.959 --> 04:33:11.119
You down.

1345
04:33:13.919 --> 04:33:15.000
To your jewel.

1346
04:33:22.560 --> 04:33:33.319
Now to youll make you a shuldes.

1347
04:33:40.119 --> 04:33:48.000
A hand.

1348
04:33:56.200 --> 04:34:04.560
Pheneus.

1349
04:34:04.680 --> 04:34:45.319
Yes, yes, by you you ex.

1350
04:34:52.959 --> 04:34:54.159
You fat.

1351
04:35:00.200 --> 04:35:04.040
H your toes.

1352
04:35:21.080 --> 04:35:29.319
And bening being spreading and growing.

1353
04:35:30.319 --> 04:35:35.080
Inside your body being you are.

1354
04:35:37.959 --> 04:35:46.080
Now let's focus again and parts of your.

1355
04:35:45.919 --> 04:36:00.840
Body, focusing this time on your forehead. Now on your mouth,

1356
04:36:02.040 --> 04:36:22.159
your lips, your tongue, the hole of your mouth. Focus

1357
04:36:22.240 --> 04:36:31.040
then on your fingers. How do you being your kid,

1358
04:36:32.599 --> 04:36:36.560
move your fingers a little bitsy. You can focus on

1359
04:36:36.720 --> 04:36:45.840
each one individually, both hands.

1360
04:36:49.919 --> 04:36:52.479
And even though you focus on both.

1361
04:36:52.200 --> 04:37:02.040
Of your hands now it almost seems just melt into one.

1362
04:37:03.680 --> 04:37:07.560
Maybe your right hand start to live hand and.

1363
04:37:11.240 --> 04:37:12.479
No master is there.

1364
04:37:15.040 --> 04:37:16.680
Just mixed together.

1365
04:37:21.720 --> 04:37:33.080
Now focusing on your knees, just noticing how your knees fell.

1366
04:37:49.759 --> 04:38:03.639
Now focusing what elbos, focusing on both of your elbows.

1367
04:38:03.720 --> 04:38:39.319
Just absurding the feeling of your alms now, same absurving.

1368
04:38:41.200 --> 04:38:42.279
What can you make.

1369
04:38:52.119 --> 04:39:31.720
Feeling the energy, the backing back, absurd.

1370
04:39:32.080 --> 04:39:33.080
The angles.

1371
04:39:42.560 --> 04:39:50.080
Be aware these cool sensations.

1372
04:39:50.799 --> 04:41:27.680
As aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

1373
04:40:51.400 --> 04:40:52.439
What you see.

1374
04:41:01.880 --> 04:41:16.680
Both of your thinks being aware? Now your joys.

1375
04:41:18.919 --> 04:42:08.959
Feel right now, don't you say? I e sire, body

1376
04:42:10.119 --> 04:43:04.720
feels noticing you might feels. Now, let him go, let

1377
04:43:04.799 --> 04:43:37.560
him go, let's him go everything, Let's him go, letting go,

1378
04:43:45.240 --> 04:43:54.680
let him go everything.

1379
04:44:10.119 --> 04:44:13.840
I'm going to start now, And I'd like you just,

1380
04:44:13.959 --> 04:44:19.599
first of all, just to see yourself lying down on

1381
04:44:19.720 --> 04:44:23.479
that message table, lying on the front.

1382
04:44:24.720 --> 04:44:32.720
Your head is supported, your arms are supported, and you

1383
04:44:32.759 --> 04:44:35.000
feel comfortable and breathing.

1384
04:44:35.119 --> 04:44:44.639
It's really easy, and you feel you feel confident in

1385
04:44:44.720 --> 04:44:45.799
how you look as well.

1386
04:44:45.880 --> 04:44:49.919
So there's none of that issue of body problems or

1387
04:44:49.959 --> 04:44:59.560
shyness because I'm a professional and this is a therapy session,

1388
04:45:00.360 --> 04:45:03.639
so none of that stuff matters whatsoever.

1389
04:45:07.439 --> 04:45:08.479
This is about you.

1390
04:45:11.119 --> 04:45:17.040
This is about how you feel and how you can

1391
04:45:18.360 --> 04:45:24.200
enjoy that sense of comfort and relaxation that comes from

1392
04:45:25.400 --> 04:45:31.119
letting go and allowing my hands my finger is to

1393
04:45:31.159 --> 04:45:43.360
relax you by a massagy your body. Someone starts off

1394
04:45:43.479 --> 04:45:45.840
just by placing my hands.

1395
04:45:47.400 --> 04:45:51.959
On the back of your head, just generally, just you.

1396
04:45:51.959 --> 04:46:00.880
Can feel what my hands feel like really on you,

1397
04:46:00.919 --> 04:46:03.279
so you can maybe feel the warmth of my hands

1398
04:46:03.319 --> 04:46:08.720
in the back of your head. And with my hands

1399
04:46:08.720 --> 04:46:12.000
to the side of your head, not pressing, but just

1400
04:46:12.400 --> 04:46:18.759
holding there very gently, maybe over your ears, and a

1401
04:46:18.759 --> 04:46:22.000
little bit on your face, just so you can.

1402
04:46:21.959 --> 04:46:28.119
Feel my hands so you can become accustomed.

1403
04:46:29.080 --> 04:46:37.919
To them.

1404
04:46:38.119 --> 04:46:40.360
And now put my hands in the back of your

1405
04:46:40.360 --> 04:46:47.840
head again and gently let them slide down onto the

1406
04:46:47.840 --> 04:46:48.599
back of your neck.

1407
04:46:56.240 --> 04:46:57.040
You can feel my.

1408
04:46:57.159 --> 04:47:07.400
Hands gently stroking the back of your neck to start with,

1409
04:47:12.000 --> 04:47:15.799
just so you can get used to the the feeling

1410
04:47:16.119 --> 04:47:23.680
my hands on your skin, get accustomed to realize that

1411
04:47:24.119 --> 04:47:34.520
you're safe. It's all good, it's all fine. I'm going

1412
04:47:34.599 --> 04:47:38.520
to start gently messaging the muscles in the.

1413
04:47:38.479 --> 04:47:39.520
Back of your neck.

1414
04:47:46.919 --> 04:47:55.880
With both hands. And this is a very trusting.

1415
04:47:57.560 --> 04:48:03.279
Situation really because necks are so fragile and to have

1416
04:48:03.439 --> 04:48:07.720
someone have their hands around your neck in that way

1417
04:48:08.560 --> 04:48:13.560
and sometimes be problematic for people which is why massages

1418
04:48:13.680 --> 04:48:19.040
are quite good, because it allows you to relax and

1419
04:48:19.240 --> 04:48:41.360
to get in touch with trust, to feel peaceful and calm.

1420
04:48:41.599 --> 04:48:49.000
There's a massage the sides of your neck gently moving

1421
04:48:49.240 --> 04:48:51.560
from the bottom.

1422
04:48:51.159 --> 04:48:52.040
Of your neck.

1423
04:48:53.599 --> 04:48:55.000
Would be sort of near where.

1424
04:48:54.840 --> 04:49:00.159
Your shoulders start, I guess, all the way up to

1425
04:49:00.240 --> 04:49:00.759
your jaw.

1426
04:49:02.520 --> 04:49:09.279
It is kind of area that side of your neck. Of course,

1427
04:49:09.279 --> 04:49:11.840
there's a lot longer than the front of your neck,

1428
04:49:24.799 --> 04:49:31.840
and the message in the back of your neck, especially

1429
04:49:31.880 --> 04:49:40.319
that area where perhaps we hold tension, and there's that

1430
04:49:40.479 --> 04:49:41.599
area's message.

1431
04:49:41.959 --> 04:49:44.439
You can actually feel a.

1432
04:49:44.560 --> 04:49:49.520
Sense of release in the back of your neck h

1433
04:49:52.439 --> 04:49:57.360
and maybe you can breathe it out as well, not

1434
04:49:57.599 --> 04:49:58.319
just how it.

1435
04:49:58.159 --> 04:50:00.000
Feels, not just how you feel.

1436
04:50:09.919 --> 04:50:13.560
Then moving down to that area between your neck and

1437
04:50:13.639 --> 04:50:23.799
your shoulders, that muscle area starting to message the area

1438
04:50:23.840 --> 04:50:28.319
on both sides, and this would be the area that

1439
04:50:28.919 --> 04:50:30.840
a lot of people would message.

1440
04:50:30.400 --> 04:50:33.959
If they were going to give you like a shoulder message.

1441
04:50:35.279 --> 04:50:39.040
Even that's not technically the shoulders, but it's all the

1442
04:50:39.119 --> 04:50:41.599
muscles that lead to the shoulders.

1443
04:50:42.680 --> 04:50:43.599
From the neck.

1444
04:50:45.439 --> 04:50:49.279
And the game that can hold attention and stress.

1445
04:50:50.560 --> 04:50:55.919
And when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful.

1446
04:50:58.599 --> 04:51:02.439
And you decide how deep that message is.

1447
04:51:13.680 --> 04:51:14.919
And just allow.

1448
04:51:16.439 --> 04:51:19.159
My knuckles just to dig in.

1449
04:51:20.680 --> 04:51:21.799
To get to those.

1450
04:51:21.680 --> 04:51:31.880
Muscles until really relaxed up, all the time being firm

1451
04:51:32.479 --> 04:51:49.599
yet gentle, did you, and just stretching down the area

1452
04:51:52.439 --> 04:51:58.599
to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of your shoulders,

1453
04:52:04.520 --> 04:52:09.560
and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders a little.

1454
04:52:09.360 --> 04:52:13.119
Bit of the table just to give you a little.

1455
04:52:12.840 --> 04:52:16.360
Bit of a stretch the reaching me.

1456
04:52:22.840 --> 04:52:25.560
And that the muscles at the front of your shoulders

1457
04:52:26.240 --> 04:52:27.919
the sides of the back.

1458
04:52:35.840 --> 04:52:36.880
Again, this is the.

1459
04:52:37.000 --> 04:52:38.479
Part that youn really.

1460
04:52:39.680 --> 04:52:40.720
Take quite a bit of.

1461
04:52:40.680 --> 04:52:49.119
Pressure, quite a bit of needing if if you wish

1462
04:52:50.279 --> 04:52:54.360
to really release the tension.

1463
04:52:55.919 --> 04:52:57.360
And really get into.

1464
04:52:57.080 --> 04:53:03.520
Those muscles and play your fingers in there.

1465
04:53:04.360 --> 04:53:09.959
And you feel really nice. Sometimes it's just being stroked

1466
04:53:10.040 --> 04:53:20.560
gently or been massaged quite strongly. Cauld all be beneficial

1467
04:53:22.200 --> 04:53:40.599
to the reorganization. But the muscles in your shoulders. Now

1468
04:53:40.680 --> 04:53:50.159
to move down your arms, you do one arm at

1469
04:53:50.200 --> 04:53:52.599
a time, starting.

1470
04:53:52.119 --> 04:54:02.599
With your right arm. Well two is I just lift

1471
04:54:02.639 --> 04:54:05.680
your arm up, just told you to the side of it.

1472
04:54:08.959 --> 04:54:12.439
I wanted to be attacked, and.

1473
04:54:12.520 --> 04:54:27.400
I just message tops of your hearts all the way

1474
04:54:27.439 --> 04:54:51.720
down to your forearms into your wrists, gently messaging the

1475
04:54:52.000 --> 04:54:58.159
parts the solve the part which is the underpart of

1476
04:54:58.240 --> 04:55:01.560
the arm.

1477
04:55:01.759 --> 04:55:06.240
It leads to the crease in the road inside.

1478
04:55:06.880 --> 04:55:21.040
It's much more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that strike

1479
04:55:24.639 --> 04:55:41.439
you're really nice playing ball and relaxing. Now leaving down to.

1480
04:55:41.520 --> 04:55:54.479
Your right hand, holding my hand, the bath of my hand,

1481
04:56:00.400 --> 04:56:04.319
just pressing gently on the back of your haird.

1482
04:56:06.360 --> 04:56:11.520
Stretching of bigness very slightly.

1483
04:56:14.200 --> 04:56:15.479
At the same time.

1484
04:56:17.520 --> 04:56:30.560
Lessing down message and each thing and then starts and

1485
04:56:30.680 --> 04:56:44.400
left side paws hair, just telling let hail yildly, stretching

1486
04:56:44.400 --> 04:56:45.520
it gently.

1487
04:56:50.439 --> 04:56:51.720
And actually having your.

1488
04:56:51.720 --> 04:57:01.599
Hand to go an emotional experience sometimes even he's a stranger.

1489
04:57:03.599 --> 04:57:04.080
Something that.

1490
04:57:06.080 --> 04:57:10.000
Like a lesson much s mesal. The focus may be

1491
04:57:12.080 --> 04:57:25.759
because it's intimate. Nice you'll say.
