00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:09.519
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. Well my name

2
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:14.519
is Jason. What that was? Oh? Itchy? Bum My name's

3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:19.800
Jason Newland. Police. Only listen to this when you can

4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:28.480
safely close your eyes. And today is Trivia Tuesday. Oh yeah,

5
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:33.200
it's a nineteenth of August two thousand and twenty five.

6
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:40.799
I have already made a recording today, but that was

7
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.280
just a oh really itchy. The problem with having Vinnie

8
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.880
cuddled up to me on the sofa here is when

9
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.280
I start scratching myself, you know, I get itchy. Sometimes

10
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.920
he doesn't like it and he jumps off and he

11
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.600
growls at me because I just disturbed in So there

12
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:09.480
you go. And so before we go any further, I'm

13
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.719
just going to quickly I realize I can actually use

14
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.640
my phone while I'm using it, while I'm using it

15
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:29.760
to record. So today's Trivia Tuesday question or subject comes

16
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:37.680
from Anne. Hello Anne, Everyone say hello Anne. Altogether one, two, three,

17
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:46.040
Hello Anne. Thank you for the recommendation. So if you

18
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:50.879
have an idea of what you would like me to

19
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:56.920
talk about next week's Trivia Tuesday or future Trivia Tuesdays,

20
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.480
maybe just send me a message on my website. Yeah,

21
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.360
there's a contact form on my website. Just just let

22
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.919
me know what then you know what you're asking for.

23
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:18.159
I know, I I'm not necessarily going to do the recording,

24
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.599
you know. I mean today I'm doing one and I'm thinking,

25
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.719
I don't know if I should do this subject because

26
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.960
it's not m I don't know, but I'm going to

27
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.080
do I'm going to do it anyway. It's about medical stuff,

28
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.800
and yeah, I feel I'm not going to do it

29
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.759
because I'm just thinking it's probably not a good thing

30
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.159
to go to sleep with. Yeah, all right, That's what

31
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.479
I'm going to do. Is I've changed my mind. I'm

32
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.199
going to I'm going to basically, Anne gave me a choice.

33
00:02:54.719 --> 00:03:05.719
I've changed my mind. Now I'm going to focus on

34
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:15.000
Teddy Bears. So I'm going to do look through trivia

35
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.919
facts about Teddy Bears. So, yeah, what's going to be

36
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:28.800
on dental and medical unusual medical and dental instruments. But

37
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.080
after looking through the list, it's I don't know, it's

38
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:40.800
none of it's particularly ear friendly as it were, I

39
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:46.080
don't think i'd want to really hear that stuff, especially

40
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.439
the oh the dental stuff. Oh no, no thanks. So

41
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.120
I'm going to do Teddy Bears. If you go down

42
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:01.159
do do with dody Ah. That song is in my

43
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.680
mind because when I was about nine, I was on

44
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.960
the Rolf Harris Show and my whole score was and

45
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.800
it's on YouTube actually that particular episode. If you want

46
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:22.399
the link, I can send it to you, and I'm

47
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.639
on it. I'm on it. But I'm like, I'll say

48
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.120
a little kid, And one of the songs was you

49
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.120
know if you go down to the woods today, you

50
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.399
sure have a big surprised. If you go down to

51
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.120
the woods today, you better go in disguise. For every

52
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.439
bed that ever there was or children today to day.

53
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.360
The deady bears have the pigicnic. And then there was

54
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.600
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts there they are

55
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.000
only now. And then there was another one Mad Mad,

56
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.560
Glory is mad. There's nothing quite like it for cooling

57
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.600
the blood. So follow me, follow down to the hollow

58
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:14.199
and they let us want inglorious Smart. They are the

59
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:20.759
three songs that I remember from that particular television episode

60
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:29.079
which I partiqued. So yeah, I did it recording this morning.

61
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.920
I woke up quite early, had an early night. I

62
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:33.639
could already do.

63
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:35.160
It.

64
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:46.240
I was connecked last night after going out and you know,

65
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.639
during the day. If you want to know what I

66
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.439
go up to yesterday, just check out my early recording.

67
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.600
I think I called it I had to go out

68
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:02.000
something like that. I had to go outside. So you know,

69
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.199
that's all the update of what happened yesterday today so far,

70
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.959
other than making and recording all the editing and processing

71
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.600
and uploading, I haven't really done a lot. I've been

72
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.160
asleep a lot of the day. I didn't feel very

73
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.600
well earlier. I feel much better now. I don't know.

74
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.560
I think it's just pretty a bit of stress in that.

75
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:31.399
But it's now four minutes to four pm in the afternoon,

76
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:43.000
and I've taken Vinnie out twice today so far, and

77
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.120
I have to do my forms for the PIP the

78
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.560
PIP form. I have to do that at some point tomorrow.

79
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:57.519
I think once that's done, I can kind of relax

80
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:08.639
a little bit. It's then, yeah, nothing else really is

81
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:15.160
going on, which is good. I've just I tell one

82
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:22.920
figure it's it confuses me a little bit. Okay, So

83
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.040
I've been doing this let Me Boy to Sleep podcast

84
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:35.800
since two thousand and eighteen. So was that nineteen, twenty four,

85
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.319
twenty five, so seven over seven years. I think I

86
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.319
started in March, so over seven years I've been doing these.

87
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:49.240
So let me boy to sleep recordings, and I'm up to.

88
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:52.480
Well.

89
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.199
The last record, oh no, it wasn't. I'd have to

90
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.120
go outside. The last record I did this morning was

91
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.680
mental health review. Don't worry. It's not quite as serious

92
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:11.079
as it sounds. Not is no, not that's serious. No

93
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:22.360
o okay, but that was number MBYT. Yes, I'll let

94
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.879
me probably sleep number one thousand and four hundred and fourteen.

95
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.319
So this is number one thousand, four hundred and fifteen,

96
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:38.279
and probably about half an hour ago, maybe twenty minutes ago,

97
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:42.399
maybe even eighteen minutes ago, I was online just looking

98
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:51.159
for the best boring sleep recordings, and I'm pretty much

99
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:58.080
nowhere to be seen, and I just I'm kind of

100
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.960
I'm not sure why. I mean, I'm not saying that

101
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.200
I should be in the list of the best, but

102
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.480
I thought i'd be in at least a top fifty

103
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:14.120
if there was a list of fifty sleep podcast or

104
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:21.519
fifty boring podcasts. I don't know, I thought i'd be

105
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:28.360
in the top fifty. Is that egotistic? I don't know. See,

106
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.440
I wouldn't be surprised, right, it wouldn't. It wouldn't surprise

107
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:38.200
me if I was in no lists like that, if

108
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:44.600
nobody listened to my podcasts. But the fact is people

109
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:53.840
do listen to my podcasts every single day. So I'm like, okay,

110
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:03.279
I'm confused. These These are not statistics like the the

111
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.759
top fifty. This is just websites that have put down

112
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.200
what they think of the top podcasts for going to

113
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:19.679
sleep too or for being bored, and I just I

114
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:27.799
don't It's like, oh, I don't. I just don't know.

115
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.679
I mean, I'm wondering those all the ones that were

116
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.879
listed are they Are they getting as many views as me?

117
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:41.080
Or are they getting loads? Because according to when I

118
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.399
go into my stats, and I don't why, I'm not

119
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.039
going to go into the stats, you're safe. But when

120
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:51.639
I look into it, how many I'm getting, I'm in

121
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:54.879
the top five percent of all podcasts in the world

122
00:10:55.919 --> 00:11:04.320
statistically wise as far as listeners. So I was just like, why,

123
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:09.039
whoa why is It's like, no one knows about me

124
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:15.639
yet people are listening. I don't understand. I mean, on

125
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:26.159
my oh okay, excuse me, on my dashboard for all

126
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.159
my podcasts on Spreaker since twenty eighteen, bearing in mind

127
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.320
I've had other podcasts as well during that time. But

128
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.480
I've got a total downloads here of fifteen million, two

129
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.159
hundred and ninety six thousand and six hundred and four

130
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.799
fifteen million, two hundred ninety six thousand, six hundred and

131
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:51.440
four with forty two total live plays. They don't do

132
00:11:51.600 --> 00:12:04.960
live plays anymore for some reason. And I'm just confused, used, confused, confused, confused.

133
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:12.600
So yeah, I don't know. I just want to I

134
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:17.360
just want to know what what's what? If you know

135
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.039
what I mean? That's why?

136
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:20.720
What a my?

137
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:28.039
What am I doing wrong? I mean, so far on Spreaker,

138
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.519
I've had two hundred and seventy five thousand and seventy

139
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:41.039
two downloads. That's on Spreaker. Spotify is a different, different

140
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:52.519
thing altogether. So you can add on another five thirty fifteen,

141
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.159
fifteen to twenty thousand a month added on to that

142
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:05.799
with Spotify in fact, since last year, I think, not

143
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:14.480
Spotify shop SoundCloud. That's what I meant SoundCloud. So if

144
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:18.200
I going to one of the soundclouds, so which one

145
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.279
comes up? This is Yeah, this is the main one

146
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:27.360
I got to I got the two different podcasts. I've

147
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:31.879
got Hypnosis A Sleeping Deeply, and there's the let Me

148
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:36.840
Boy to Sleep one. So today, so far I've had

149
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:42.480
one hundred and sixty three plays for the month five,

150
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:47.600
five hundred and ninety nine and then the other one,

151
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.000
so you know, mix them together. But if I look

152
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:58.679
for the last twelve months, it's actually not ty. It's

153
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:05.159
not told since September. Since last September, which was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

154
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.919
eight nine, ten. Well, yeah, it's literally this twelve months

155
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.120
is not now becaus August. So the last twelve months

156
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.480
I had four hundred and fifty one thousand, nine hundred

157
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:22.159
and forty plays on Soundclouds. I've actually had a lot

158
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:28.639
more there than I have on Speaker, But then I

159
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.240
spent quite a lot of time on SoundCloud, on Yah SoundCloud,

160
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.440
so I kind of I didn't use Speaker much for

161
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:44.080
a while, but for all time, because I also had

162
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:48.120
some time two thousand and four to twenty four, twenty

163
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:53.960
twenty three all time, two million, five hundred and seven thousand,

164
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.759
four hundred and seventy eight that's on that one podcast,

165
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.600
so probably that another million and a half on the

166
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.360
let me boil asleep. And the question, maybe from you,

167
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:12.279
is didn't you just say you weren't going to talk

168
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.919
about the stats? Do you just tell us we were

169
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.799
safe from hearing about the statistics? I did. I do apologize.

170
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:29.720
I'm not sorry, but I do apologize, you know. I mean,

171
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:35.000
I don't care, but I'm just apologize. See, it's nothing

172
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:40.919
to be worried about. Have I never talked about teddy

173
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.600
bears before? Should I give you a story about my

174
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:51.879
teddy bear? I had a teddy bear when I was

175
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.840
about eight seven eight years old. I know definitely at

176
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.679
eight because when I was eight years old, I went

177
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.360
to have when I was in hospital having my adenoids removed,

178
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.320
which is probably why I got such a wonderful calm voice.

179
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:14.399
I don't like that it might know, so yeah, that's

180
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.840
if I still have my adnoids, I probably would be

181
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:24.799
very very bunged up sounding. But that's not the reason

182
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.120
they were removed is because I was deaf in one

183
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:37.039
ear or partially deaf in one ear. So I had

184
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.159
my teddy bear with me and he was my best

185
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:49.320
friend and I felt safe when I cuddled him and

186
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:55.519
I slept with him in bed I might get myself

187
00:16:55.559 --> 00:17:00.879
a teddy bear, just someone to cut because Vinny don't

188
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.799
want to cuddle me. He cuddles up to me, but

189
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.039
he doesn't want me like put my arm around him

190
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.519
and like hugging him. Doesn't like that. But he will

191
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.599
like cuddle up to me and I can put my

192
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:15.839
arm on it. Like now I put my arm on

193
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.519
him and I can't stroke him, and he's fine with that.

194
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:26.440
In bed not so much. You know, it's he tried

195
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.680
to explain it to me the other day. He said, well,

196
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.640
when we're up and you know, i'm sun sety, I'm

197
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.720
not really sleeping. I'm just chilling out. But when I

198
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.640
come to bed, I come to sleep, not to be

199
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.640
fondled by you. And I said, Vinnie, the word fondled

200
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:46.640
is not the correct word in this situation. He said,

201
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.839
why not. Said, I'm not going to go into it,

202
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:56.200
but it's just cuddling. You're, you know, my my little puppy.

203
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.240
He said, I'm a big boy. Now, I'm not a puppy.

204
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.960
I said, this is still the same size as a puppy.

205
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:06.440
And that's when he just jumped off the bed, gave

206
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:10.279
me a very very dirty look and run out just showering.

207
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.440
You're not my real dad. He does it every now

208
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:18.880
and then that ten minutes later is like jumps on

209
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.079
the bed, prodded me. I said, what, Finn? He said,

210
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.319
can I have a treat? It's like, wow, I had

211
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:27.880
to get out of bed to give him a treat

212
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:38.640
rewarding his bad behavior. That's why he never learns, never learns.

213
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.319
It's not that I think I should be, you know,

214
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:52.000
in the top category of any I do sometimes in

215
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.680
the statistics, come up quite high in the rankings of

216
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.759
different categories and have done over the last you know,

217
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:05.640
twenty years, nineteen years at different times, especially like two

218
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:14.000
thousand kind of period two thousand and one. But it's

219
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.759
it just be nice. I don't know why websites they

220
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:20.880
and they just put these little lists together, and quite

221
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.960
often they just put the same podcasts in the same list,

222
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.599
and I don't notice, Like, am I invisible? Am? I

223
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.759
know I'm invisible to women now, but I didn't. Why

224
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.799
do I got to be invisible to the internet. It's

225
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:46.519
not fair. So yeah, I think what happened to my

226
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.400
teddy bear is he was put in a washing machine

227
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.799
to get washed, which I didn't. I wasn't particularly pleased with.

228
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.720
But the washing machine ruined him. I don't mean as in,

229
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:06.680
you know, he didn't want to spend told me anymore.

230
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.279
He's wanted to stay with the washing machine because he

231
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:11.119
had so much fun. I didn't mean ruined him in

232
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:19.200
that way, but he was, Yeah, it didn't do I mean,

233
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.240
it's not going to do it. You don't put a

234
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:26.799
little Teddy Bear in a washing machine. Come on, it's ridiculous. Completely.

235
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:31.000
It would have been a horrible for him. And so yeah,

236
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.240
and I said, it doesn't matter. I'm a big boy

237
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:44.039
now I can. I'll be all right. I'll be all right.

238
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:49.279
And Sata went upstairs to my room and a bit

239
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:57.720
of a cry. Then I looked at the time realized

240
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:03.759
I was late for work. Okay, Teddy I didn't have

241
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:05.400
any over Teddy. I was the only Teddy Bear I

242
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.920
ever had. I do believe I didn't have any Teddy

243
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:14.519
Bears when I was little that I remember. I might

244
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.799
well have added Teddy Bear when I was one. Two,

245
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.960
I don't know three even I don't know, but I

246
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:30.279
don't remember them. So here's some I've got a hundred

247
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.759
trivia facts about Teddy Bears thanks to Anne. Come on,

248
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:44.440
everyone altogether one, two, three. Thank you Anne for your

249
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:54.279
trivia suggestion for Teddy Bears. Come on, thank you. He's

250
00:21:54.359 --> 00:22:01.200
not playing along today, are you? So? I didn't do

251
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:08.279
Monday's Boring Objects yesterday. I apologize. I'm not sorry, but

252
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:12.599
I do apologize. I was intending to do it, but

253
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:19.400
I was so tired, and I kind of feel a

254
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:28.839
little bit that the routte that I have been kind

255
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:34.160
of organizing over the last year or so, the routine

256
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.720
of doing Q and A Friday, which I didn't do

257
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:40.680
on this Friday, just gone because I only had one question.

258
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:46.880
Oh great, never got someone in a or a motorbike outside.

259
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:50.799
I hope he's not going to do that thing where

260
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:54.480
he just keeps the motorbike going for like three hours

261
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:59.680
while he, I don't know, just admires the saddle, maybe

262
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:01.640
melts it. I don't know. I don't know what he

263
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:05.920
does dout there three house sniff in his saddle. I

264
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.119
don't know if that's I'm sure he doesn't do that,

265
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:13.240
but I'm not going to let it stop me from

266
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:20.480
doing a recording. Well though, yesterday there was someone riding

267
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:24.240
up and down the road really fast, really loud, on

268
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:29.119
a motorbike like about twenty times, up and down, up

269
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:31.920
and down, up and down. And the kids around here that,

270
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.240
let's face it, they don't look when they cross the road.

271
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.240
I mean I probably didn't either, and this bike's going

272
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.559
so fast. Some kind of I think I saw the

273
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:51.000
same person today because I didn't see them, I could

274
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:55.680
just hear them from here. It's very loud, it's very

275
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:01.720
like rare like that. And I heard what sounded like

276
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:06.839
the same motorbike. So I waited, and I just wait,

277
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:09.440
you know, for what i'd watch to see if it

278
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:12.440
was And it was revving up and it came past,

279
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:16.119
and I just watched it go past. I didn't recognize

280
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.640
the person because you know, it pretty much covered up

281
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:25.559
other than just a little bit of the face. I thought, okay,

282
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:29.480
let's just wait here, see if they come back past again,

283
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.799
because it means it probably is then that person that

284
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:35.880
did it yesterday. And they came past again, this time

285
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.400
in heat. It might be. A woman nodded at me,

286
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.839
so I nodded back, you know, and then they kind

287
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:51.319
of it did it once morning were gone, So I

288
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:52.920
don't know. I just wanted to see who it was.

289
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.279
I just.

290
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:01.079
So I'm okay, because I'm very very particularly I say

291
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:04.319
I'm okay, but generally I'm very meticulous when it comes

292
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.400
acrossing the road. I'm very careful, especially with this little one,

293
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:12.559
because he will just run out if he gets a chance.

294
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:15.960
And I've been trying to teach him the green Cross

295
00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:24.200
code for you know, nearly three years, three years and

296
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:28.440
four months, three years in four months, not and four months.

297
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.640
So in December, I'll have had him for three whole

298
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:40.000
long long to ask him. It's been very long, boring years,

299
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:48.079
three years, and he's still I'm sure he's still not

300
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:54.319
used to me yet. I'm yeah, it takes a while,

301
00:25:54.400 --> 00:26:01.680
I think, an acquired taste, as they say. So. The

302
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:08.839
Teddy Bear is named after the US President, Theodore Teddy Roosevelt.

303
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:20.920
Really though, really, the only reason I'm saying that is

304
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:25.759
because I'm pretty sure I've seen antique teddy bears from

305
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:32.400
hundreds of years ago. Maybe they didn't call them teddy

306
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:39.119
bears back then. I don't know, but I'm just gonna

307
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.119
some of this stuff may be true. It may be

308
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:49.160
absolute horsepoo. I don't know. Let's just assume it may

309
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.559
be true and may not. I'm going to read it

310
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:57.640
out anyway. So, as I say in previous recordings, try

311
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.559
not to get into a conversation or an argument with someone,

312
00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:05.119
and don't use these trivia facts that you hear me

313
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:09.240
tell you in an argument to back up your you know,

314
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.920
your point, because it might all be just complete drivel.

315
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:25.839
And maybe on that occasion if the subject of teddy bears, well,

316
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:27.400
first of all, do you really want to be getting

317
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:33.960
into an argument about teddy bears? And secondly, on this occasion,

318
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.559
if you do get into an argument about teddy bears,

319
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:41.799
you may choose to be happy rather than to be right.

320
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:47.000
You know, just just try it out. You might like it.

321
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:55.559
So apparently it all started. This is the origins and

322
00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:02.880
the history all started in nineteen two, after Roosevelt refused

323
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:11.319
to shoot a bear. Okay, I don't really know much

324
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:16.319
about that story. A political cartoon about Roosevelt's kindness inspired

325
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:24.519
the toy. Maurice Mitchen, a Brooklyn shop owner, made the

326
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:29.839
first Teddy's Bear. Oh so it wasn't called a Teddy bear.

327
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:37.799
It was called Teddy's Bear. And at the same time,

328
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:47.160
in Germany, Richard Steiffe or Stiffy Stiff stiff Stuve stuff

329
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:57.319
designed adjointed plush bear, so completely independent, but they probably

330
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:02.759
didn't call him Teddy. I don't know what a German

331
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:09.359
German version for Teddy would be. I don't know. I'm no,

332
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:10.920
I'm not going to do the accident. I don't know

333
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:19.799
what it would be and ask what's his name? What's

334
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:23.680
his name? That ah? If you know a German person

335
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:26.599
asked them. If this is a German person, listen, welcome

336
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:32.920
and what did you call what do you call teddy

337
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:40.640
bears in Germany? Maybe I could say put that out

338
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.480
to all countries. What do you call it teddy bear

339
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:49.240
in the country you live? And is it a different

340
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.759
name or is it just teddy bear in your language?

341
00:29:54.680 --> 00:30:02.519
If that makes sense, I think it does. Steiff bears, Oh,

342
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:06.359
they called them stiff bears, were displayed at the Leipzig

343
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:12.759
Toy Fair in nineteen oh three, and a US buyer

344
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:19.559
ordered three thousand stiff bears on the spot, and the

345
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:27.079
first stiffed Teddy bears had long, pointed snouts and the

346
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:35.480
earliest bears were stuffed with Excelsior wood shavings. Excelsior, isn't

347
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:37.920
that in a carrol?

348
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:38.880
Oh?

349
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:55.039
The little with Excelsior wood shavings okay, collectibles and value

350
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:04.680
some antiques. Stiff bears sulfur about one hundred grand. What

351
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:11.079
if my bear was an antique? Okay? The most of

352
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.599
the world's most expensive teddy Bear was called Teddy Girl,

353
00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:19.599
sold for one hundred and seventy one thousand, six hundred

354
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:30.920
OUR dollars nineteen ninety four. Is it weird that that's

355
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:42.400
thirty nearly twenty nine years ago and there's not been

356
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:49.279
any other Teddy Bears sold for more than that. Wait

357
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:54.839
a minute, Howard's once sold at Louis Verton teddy Bear

358
00:31:54.960 --> 00:32:00.920
for two point one million. So why does saying the

359
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:04.599
world's most extense expensive teddy Bear was was one hundred

360
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:10.400
and seventy one grand when right underneath this saying that

361
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:13.200
there was a Louis Vuton teddy Bear for two point

362
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:21.680
one million. That makes no sense. Collectors of Teddy Bears

363
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:30.359
called themselves atra files to be fair. I don't think

364
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:36.119
the word files really, I don't know. It just doesn't

365
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:41.440
sound right anymore against anything. So either it's a rec

366
00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:45.200
nophile or he I don't know whatever, it's just it

367
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:47.680
just perhaps we just started getting rid of the name

368
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:53.880
the word piles par files spelled like piles with an

369
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:59.960
h per piles. It means Greek for bear lovers exactly.

370
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:08.599
It sounds dodgy, don't it. Some bears have while some

371
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:14.839
bears have passports and travel the world with owners. That

372
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:30.359
sounds ridiculous. Passports maybe as a joke, like a jokey passport,

373
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:38.079
but I'm pretty certain you wouldn't actually have to show

374
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:44.920
a passport when traveling abroad with a Teddy Bear. You

375
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:48.839
might have to let them scan the teddy Bear to

376
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:55.599
make sure that it's nothing weird inside on my washing

377
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:59.759
machines going, just in case it's not going, it's working.

378
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.839
Just started to just heard it go boo shaken a bit.

379
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:19.039
Limited edition bears often rise in value faster than gold. Wow.

380
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:26.360
I mean to be fair things that the less the

381
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:31.119
less of something, the more it is to be worth.

382
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:36.440
Maybe that's why my podcasts are just so worthless, because

383
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:41.719
there's too many of them. I make too many podcasts, that's.

384
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:42.000
What it is.

385
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:47.639
If I need one a month, one a year, one

386
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:55.679
episode every ten years, maybe it'd be worth something. Okay,

387
00:34:55.920 --> 00:35:05.440
what's over there? Oh, the rarest stiff bears have button

388
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:14.800
in ear trademarks. Button in the air. Okay, some collectors

389
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:20.159
ensure their Teddy Bears. Some collectors ensure their teddy Bear

390
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:26.800
collections like fine art. I wonder what the biggest Teddy

391
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:34.599
Bear collection in the world is. Hm. And before I'd

392
00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:41.800
say that out loud, Beanie Babies briefly rivaled Teddy Bears

393
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:47.639
in collectibility. Yep, I remember that. Remember the cabbage Patch

394
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:53.440
dolls in the nineties they were so popular. I think,

395
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:58.039
cabbage Patch dolls, Wow? And then you god, the Telly Tubbies,

396
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:04.320
didn't you. They were really poppy as well. And celebrity

397
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:12.239
owned bears like Elvis's. Elvis Presley's fetched crazy prices at auction.

398
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:18.079
Elvis Presley had a Teddy Bear. I wonder how much

399
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:22.800
that was worth. I'd have thought something like that was

400
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.920
a bit squeaky, wasn't it. I'd have thought that something

401
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:30.360
like Elvis Presley's Teddy Bear would be cherished by the

402
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.800
family because he's still got his wife's still alive, and

403
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:43.519
he's still got grandkids, probably got distant relatives as well.

404
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:48.119
I thought that maybe that would be would probably be

405
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:51.840
in Graceland, wouldn't it the house that he used to

406
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:59.039
live in. So Winnie the Pooh was inspired by a

407
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:05.079
real Teddy Bear owned by A. A. Milneers Milner's son,

408
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:14.800
and Paddington Bear was named after Paddington Station in London. Really, oh,

409
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:21.920
I thought it was the other way around. I thought

410
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.519
Paddington Bear was like one hundred years old, two hundred

411
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:35.320
years old. Clearly not Rupert Bear. Ruper Rupert de Bear.

412
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:42.320
Everyone loves his name. His name is Ruper Rupert de Bear.

413
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:48.360
Everyone knows his name dere and they're glad that he

414
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:53.440
came something like that. Rupert Bear first appeared in a

415
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:59.880
British newspaper in nineteen twenty. And then you've got Smoky Bear,

416
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:06.599
the fire pretention, the fire Lili, the fire prevention mascot.

417
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:14.559
Smoky Bear was created in nineteen forty four. Then you

418
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:18.480
had the care Bears. The care Bears I forgot about.

419
00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:22.159
The care Bears were invented in nineteen eighties as greeting

420
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:27.840
card characters. Teddy rock Spin nineteen eighty five was the

421
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:35.239
first talking Teddy Bear. Why do I remember that Teddy Ruckspin.

422
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:41.360
Did he like say, Hi, I'm Teddy ruck Spin. Hi,

423
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:49.679
I'm Teddy Ruckspin. I'm Teddy ruck Spin. I'm sure it

424
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.320
did stuff like that. Did I have that little cord

425
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.760
that you pulled in the back of it, and they say,

426
00:38:55.280 --> 00:39:01.519
I'm teddy rasc raspin. I mean, yeah, I wonder what

427
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:05.960
else it said. I can't remember. I'm sure I saw one, though,

428
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:10.760
because the good thing about toys is even if I mean,

429
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.320
you know, as a kid, you can't have every single toy,

430
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:17.639
nor would I want every single toy, but I kind

431
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:20.360
of got to see most of the toys, even if

432
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:24.159
it was especially like girls stuff. I know it could

433
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:26.679
be controversial to say that, but back when I was

434
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:30.199
a kid, there was toys for girls and toys for boys,

435
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:34.360
and then ones that kind of both were allowed allowed

436
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:40.599
both would play, and the girl next door shared a

437
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:43.800
lot of girls stuff. And I had cousins that had

438
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:47.719
female cousins that had stuff. So I got to see

439
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:51.519
some of the not in ninet eighty five, but before

440
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:55.280
that got to see some of the different things, but

441
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:58.760
also other friends that I had at school, I'd see

442
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:02.239
stuff that they had. Again, not nineteen eighty five, because

443
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:05.119
I had left school by that point, was nearly left school.

444
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:09.960
I left in nineteen eighty six, so I wasn't buying bears.

445
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:16.440
But my little brother in nineen eighty five was seven,

446
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:21.639
So he might have had a Teddy Ruckspin Teddy bear.

447
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:24.960
Now I would ask him, but he probably doesn't want

448
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:34.960
to talk about it. He's probably forgotten. And twenty seven okay,

449
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:42.760
mister Bean's Teddy, simply called Teddy is iconic worldwide, and

450
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:49.079
in Japan, Kawai culture made Teddy Bears super popular again.

451
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:54.960
I'm not quite sure what that is. All build a

452
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:58.440
bear workshop lets kids design their own teddies. We have

453
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:01.920
one of those in this town. I've never been in

454
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:04.760
a build a Bear workshop. I don't think I might

455
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:12.119
have done. Did I? I don't think I have. I

456
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:15.039
think I might have done. Actually, like twenty five years ago,

457
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.880
I might have gone in there with with someone. I'm

458
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:23.719
not sure. I think I might have done briefly, just

459
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:27.400
to have a look. No, I don't think I would

460
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:33.840
have done, would I? It's possible. In two thousands, a

461
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:44.039
Teddy Bear was sent into space. Brilliant. Why when they

462
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:48.840
said sent into space, it was just released into space?

463
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:56.960
Do they really spend all that money launching a rocket

464
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:01.719
to send a Teddy Bear into space? That's a lot

465
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:06.519
of money. Each one of those rockets must cost at

466
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:11.920
least two or three thousand pounds to send up. You know,

467
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:19.079
funning quirky bits. Okay, these are funning quirky bits. The

468
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:24.239
world's smallest teddy is only five millimeters tall. It's not

469
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:29.679
small five millimeters. They really don't know. What's the world's

470
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:34.119
largest teddy is over sixty three feet and it's in Mexico.

471
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.880
I mean really, I mean that is massive. Let's face it,

472
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.880
sixty three feet. I mean that's the size of a building,

473
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:48.920
isn't it pretty much? In fact? No, that's sixty three feet.

474
00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:57.039
That's like a is that a tower block? Maybe? Maybe

475
00:42:57.079 --> 00:42:59.159
they built it. They just put the little the world's

476
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:04.920
they put another teddy bear on its head with a

477
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.480
little in a little hat, maybe with a spring. So

478
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:11.320
when he had finished building the one in Mexico sixty

479
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:15.760
three feet long tall wether, they just released the other

480
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:17.679
one from the hat and it just pushed it into

481
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:21.239
space because only like another few feet away. Wasn't it

482
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:27.360
to be in space? Yeah? I went to school, you see,

483
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:33.599
I know a lot about space. Some teddy bears come

484
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:43.199
with building heartbeats for comfort. Okay, it's comforting, great, but

485
00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:46.960
what about when the batteries run out? I imagine the

486
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:53.079
feelings a lot different from comfort. You know, you little

487
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:55.440
kids like, oh, it's comforting, I can feel it. Then

488
00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:01.199
you wake up like, aha, the heartbeat stopped. It's just

489
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:09.559
the batteries. Don't worry some teddy bears. Okay, a teddy

490
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:12.760
bear once parachuted from a plane as a stunt. No,

491
00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.199
a teddy bear was chucked out of a plane with

492
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:22.119
a parachute on The teddy bear didn't parachute out on

493
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:28.440
his own. Come on, ridiculous. Teddy Bears don't do stuff

494
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:35.440
like that. They're scared of heights. A soldier in WW

495
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:46.519
one carried tiny teddy bears in their pockets. Okay, it's

496
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:50.639
a bit random, isn't it. Some teddy bears are designed

497
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:57.400
with hot water bottles inside. Good idea. It's a very

498
00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:02.760
good idea. In fact, it's possibly the best idea that's

499
00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:08.880
ever happened ever anyway, any anywhere in the world. Because

500
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:14.199
you're going to have the teddy bear, you know, in

501
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:18.559
your bed, and you want to feel warm and cozy,

502
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:25.679
have it inside the teddy bear. It makes sense. The

503
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:27.559
problem is, when I was a kid, I actually thought

504
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:31.039
my teddy bear was alive. So the idea of like

505
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:33.559
opening it up and putting a big hot water bottle

506
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:36.880
inside him. Didn't really you know, wouldn't have I wouldn't

507
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.719
have liked that. Would you done to him?

508
00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:40.960
You know?

509
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:44.639
Bad enough? You keep sticking him in a washing machine?

510
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:49.840
And some teddy bears Okay, teddy bears are banned in

511
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:55.199
some hospitals for carrying germs. What about the nurses? Then?

512
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:59.719
What about all the other patients? The visitors. Visitors aren't

513
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:02.480
bad and they got following more germs and a teddy

514
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:07.840
bear that have Leave the teddy bears alone. I've seen

515
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:11.719
I'm not being horrible about care workers, but I've seen

516
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:15.800
and you must have seen this as well, right, care

517
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:25.320
workers walking to work with their uniform on. Okay, their

518
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:30.039
uniform already on, and they're getting on a bus, getting

519
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:36.159
on a train, walking down the street with their uniform,

520
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:42.159
with their you know, like you know, t all about germs.

521
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.039
They don't get to hospital in their normal clothes, or

522
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:48.880
some of them might, but it's not this big, absolute

523
00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:55.400
like zero germ area where everyone gets undressed and gets

524
00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:00.639
sprayed down with disinfectant like in the movies or ET

525
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:05.519
or whatever. Going back a bit and I and you know,

526
00:47:05.760 --> 00:47:07.760
or like in space movies, you know, when they go

527
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.400
in and they get all like washed off so that

528
00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:13.480
they can be germ free, and then they get put

529
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:19.360
into their new clothes and they're you know, no germs

530
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:25.079
are going in our hospital all the time. Man's leave

531
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:29.079
the teddy bears alone. That's all I'm saying. You know,

532
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:33.400
I'm not choosing teddy bears over care workers, because obviously

533
00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:38.360
care workers are so important and they're amazing. Not having

534
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:40.519
to go to care workers. I'm just saying, you know,

535
00:47:41.079 --> 00:47:43.440
if we're going to go on about germs, leave the

536
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:47.199
teddy bears alone. That's all I'm saying. I'm just sticking

537
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:49.960
up for the teddy Bears. I'm not in any corner

538
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:52.800
except that I am in the corner of the teddy Bears,

539
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:55.679
not having to go at nurses or doctors or anything

540
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:58.920
like that. But leave the teddy bears alone. That's all

541
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:04.480
I'm saying. Okay, you know, if you I'm one million

542
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:08.840
percent behind doctors, nurses, care workers, the cleaners in hospital,

543
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:15.039
everyone in hospitals, you know, it's amazing. We are so lucky.

544
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:21.400
Anyone that has a hospital is lucky. It's very fortunate

545
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:23.519
that there's people that are willing to do that work.

546
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:27.760
You know, from my heart genuinely, having spent the last

547
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:31.559
or six weeks in and out of hospital visiting someone,

548
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:39.440
you know, they are angels. However, if you mess with

549
00:48:39.559 --> 00:48:44.239
Teddy Bears, that's the line I won't cross, and I

550
00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:47.639
won't allow anyone else to cross either, because I choose

551
00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:51.480
a Teddy Bear over doctors every time, and as of

552
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:54.000
course I was in the hospital, then I'd probably choose

553
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:58.039
a doctor, you know, basically. But you know, I'm just saying,

554
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.159
leave the Teddy Bears alone. That's all I'm saying. In

555
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:07.599
all I'm trying to say, and it's becial, not even

556
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.599
just for kids. I mean, come on, taking away kids

557
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:16.079
Teddy Bear when they're in hospital just seems wrong. But

558
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:22.159
taking away anyone's Teddy Bear when they're in hospital, you know,

559
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:29.559
it's just come on, leave the Teddy Bear alone. So

560
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:33.519
that was a reference from the wanderers in case you're wondering,

561
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:38.119
In case you're wondering, Teddy Bear is a band, Okay,

562
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:43.599
Queen Elizabeth the Second had a Teddy Bear collection into adulthood.

563
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:49.400
Why are you mocking Queen Elizabeth? See clearly this is

564
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:56.119
like an anti royal place. The queen is my finger.

565
00:49:57.400 --> 00:50:00.719
The Queen who's now passed now got king. But the

566
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:05.599
queen can do what the queen wants to do. That's

567
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:12.440
as simple as that. Leave the queen, leave the queen alone.

568
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:18.920
So leave her alone and her teddy bear collection. Stop

569
00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:22.239
picking on the queen and her teddy bear collection. Or

570
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:29.119
she had them into adulthood, so what so what was

571
00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:31.679
she not allowed to have teddy bears? Now? Is it

572
00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:35.840
against the law? I don't know. Is this somewhere in

573
00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:41.719
religious scriptures that says teddy bears are not allowed? Not allowed? No,

574
00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:48.719
leave the teddy bears alone and leave queen alone. It's

575
00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:51.440
weird because you know, being my age now, there's only

576
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:53.920
ever going to be one queen. I know, there's been

577
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:56.159
loads of queens in the past and be loads of

578
00:50:56.199 --> 00:50:59.199
queens in the future. Only one queen in my life.

579
00:51:03.159 --> 00:51:07.760
That's it. Queen Elizabeth's ID or was it the third?

580
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:12.559
I don't know whichever queen we had throughout the entirety

581
00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:17.639
of my life. That's the thing. Until like three years

582
00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:25.280
ago she was was it three years two years ago? Wow?

583
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:27.679
I don't know. However long years ago, three years ago

584
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:37.360
she was the Queen ka Easy. Michael Jackson reportedly owned

585
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:43.599
over one hundred Teddy Bears. Yeah, should we move on?

586
00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:50.559
It's like yeah, but they weren't all for him. It's like, okay, yeah,

587
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:54.920
should we still move on? Elvis? I mean, yeah, Elvis

588
00:51:55.000 --> 00:52:02.760
Presley gifted Priscilla a giant teddy Bear. Okay, leave Elvis

589
00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:16.079
Presley alone and Priscilla. I imagine he probably had to

590
00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:21.079
have it purposely made because they were married in the fifties,

591
00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:25.719
weren't they And I don't know if I was still

592
00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:30.440
married in the sixties as well, but I reckon in

593
00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:38.599
them days you had to have them made. Specially. Did

594
00:52:38.679 --> 00:52:44.719
Priscilla Presley live in Graceland with Elvis all the time

595
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:50.519
or did she move out when they parted? I don't know.

596
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:55.159
Oh.

597
00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:59.880
Look, Teddy Bear days and events. September ninth is nat

598
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:04.559
or Teddy Bear Day in the United States, and October

599
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:11.079
is National Teddy bed Day in the UK. I've got

600
00:53:11.159 --> 00:53:15.679
nothing to say about that. It's like, why teddy Bear

601
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:24.360
picnics are celebrated worldwide? Really they're not. I don't This

602
00:53:24.559 --> 00:53:29.559
is my first knowledge of that. I've never mean, I've

603
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:32.280
heard about the Teddy Bears if you can go the

604
00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:36.079
Teddy Bears, I have in the I've heard the song,

605
00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:39.519
but I've never seen it in reality. I've never walked

606
00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:43.039
through the woods and seen teddy bears well, you know,

607
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:48.159
sitting on a big blanket with a basket full of

608
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:54.719
stuff that they wouldn't normally eat, sitting around uncomfortable, Wish

609
00:53:54.800 --> 00:54:00.679
they had had chairs, wish had stayed at home. You know,

610
00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:07.400
I've never seen that. Australia has an annual Teddy Bear's

611
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:13.360
Picnic Day, Guinness World Records has multiple Teddy Bear categories,

612
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:23.840
and Germany holds Teddy Bear festivals. Sebastian wonder what Sebastian

613
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:27.480
has to say about this? Now? I know Sebastian is

614
00:54:27.519 --> 00:54:30.119
not the only person that listens to me from Germany,

615
00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:34.400
but he's the only person I've ever had contact with

616
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:40.440
that I know of, and he imagine he knows everything

617
00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:47.920
about children's toys. Some charities hold host Teddy Bear hospital

618
00:54:48.079 --> 00:54:52.760
events for children, and in Finland there's a Teddy Bear

619
00:54:52.880 --> 00:55:00.440
museum with one thousand plus bears. Oh Denmark has a

620
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:07.159
dedicated Teddy Bear art gallery. Amsterdam has a gallery as well,

621
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:12.239
has a museum and it's full of wit. No, it's

622
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:19.880
not bears, Okay, let's move on. Japan hosts teddy Bear

623
00:55:20.199 --> 00:55:28.119
exhibitions mixing fashion and bears. Okay, all right, cool, this

624
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:34.480
is going well. A teddy bear once survived what a

625
00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:39.119
teddy bear once survived the Titanic sinking? It was owned

626
00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:42.519
by a child. I don't know why to put that

627
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:46.800
in brackets? Is sure it wasn't a captain's one? No,

628
00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:52.960
sure it wasn't. Actually it was driving the ship. That's

629
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:56.079
why it's sunk. Don't put up teddy bear in charge

630
00:55:56.079 --> 00:56:03.039
of a very shit thing. There's a way to put it.

631
00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:05.320
A teddy bear once survived it was not going to

632
00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:06.480
survive it twice?

633
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:06.760
Is it?

634
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:21.920
Some WW one soldiers believed teddy bear has brought luck? Yeah?

635
00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:26.760
I wonder how many thought that after the war if

636
00:56:26.800 --> 00:56:32.000
they just I wonder how long they thought that. How

637
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:36.320
many people were in hospital just like shouting at their

638
00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:43.800
teddy Bears. In nineteen twenty four, a teddy bear ran

639
00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:48.119
for mayor of Oxford as a joke. No, a person

640
00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:52.920
ran a teddy bear for mayor of Oxford, and a

641
00:56:53.000 --> 00:57:00.760
teddy bear can't do on its own, can it? NASA before? Wow,

642
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:03.400
I'm surprised so allowed to get away with that. Things

643
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:05.360
were a lot more serious back then, as far as

644
00:57:05.400 --> 00:57:10.760
I know, NASA astronauts have flown teddy Bears into all

645
00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:14.639
but that's kind of been covered already, isn't it. A

646
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:17.199
teddy Bear was the first toy ever taking. Yeah, but

647
00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:20.239
you were talking about the space thing. Are you talked

648
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:25.480
about that? Some teddy Bears have built in cameras for security,

649
00:57:26.800 --> 00:57:31.119
and I don't know what else that's got. It's kind

650
00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:38.400
of a good idea. And also, m I did think

651
00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:44.440
about putting a spy camera into uncle's sausages, he said,

652
00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:49.000
hotel room, the hospital room, because he was really saying

653
00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:52.559
stuff that people were kidnapping him. I know they weren't,

654
00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:57.360
but I still like I had this kind of just

655
00:57:57.800 --> 00:58:01.840
maybe it was loud, wasn't it. Dog's barking very loudly,

656
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:06.840
normally barks for a few times before it stops. Never

657
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:12.079
used the bark at all until it moved in. In

658
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:17.000
two thousand and eight, a British teddy Bear was kidnapped

659
00:58:17.079 --> 00:58:25.920
by pirates. True story apparently. I don't know. I'm just

660
00:58:26.159 --> 00:58:33.079
I don't know. That just doesn't sound that sounds weird. Yeah,

661
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:39.639
I mean, if a teddy Bear was used with built

662
00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:42.800
in cameras for security, does that mean that they would

663
00:58:42.840 --> 00:58:46.760
be called up in a trial. They'll be put on

664
00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:53.840
the stand and questioned, just a question. Chernobyl has abandoned

665
00:58:54.000 --> 00:59:01.119
teddy bears. Still Chernobyl had abandoned te Oh god, that's that's,

666
00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:04.760
That's why I don't stop it. Some teddy bears are

667
00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:13.039
made with alpaka fur instead of mohair. H Teddy bears

668
00:59:13.079 --> 00:59:17.079
have been used as therapy tools since w W one.

669
00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:22.880
I mean just cuddling something that doesn't pull away from

670
00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:25.039
you like this little one. He pulls away from me

671
00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:29.639
and growls and bites me if I try and cuddle him. So,

672
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:33.519
I don't know how I ended up with a dog

673
00:59:33.639 --> 00:59:42.400
that is just so doesn't like intimacy like cuddling. But

674
00:59:42.519 --> 00:59:45.159
some dogs absolutely love being cuddled. That's all they want

675
00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:47.480
to do is sit on the lap and be cuddled.

676
00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:50.639
I don't want him one man app all the time,

677
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:55.400
but it'd be nice to have like a little cuddle.

678
00:59:56.159 --> 00:59:59.039
And although he is cuddled up to me and I

679
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:01.679
have got my arm on and I'm stroking in my hand,

680
01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:05.920
I'm just you know, it's not the same as a

681
01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:13.400
proper cuddle. I don't know. Maybe I expect too much

682
01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:17.800
of him. The world's biggest Teddy Bear collection belongs to

683
01:00:18.039 --> 01:00:25.360
Jackie Miley over eight thousand, and the tallest Teddy Bear

684
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:31.519
ever made stands taller than a giraffe. Teddy Bears have

685
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:36.840
been made from denim, leather, and even gold thread. And

686
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:41.599
some Teddy Bears have diamond eyes. Wow, mind didn't.

687
01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:43.320
So.

688
01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:49.440
The first animated film star Teddy was The Teddybears nineteen

689
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:53.639
oh seven, Teddy Bears appearing over one hundred feature films.

690
01:00:55.280 --> 01:01:02.480
There's a first Teddy Bear museum opened in Petersville Field, Petersfield, UK,

691
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:08.159
nineteen eighty four. And that what There are hotel Teddy

692
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:14.679
Bear hotels in Japan where kids bears get pampered. Wow,

693
01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:21.239
yeah cool? I mean yeah, I don't know. A Teddy

694
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:25.280
Bear once completed the London Marathon strapped to a runner.

695
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:30.119
I mean technically they're saying that, but what about how

696
01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:35.239
many bits of chewing gum? You know, whatever is in

697
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:38.760
your pocket if you're doing a marathon has also completed

698
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:45.159
the marathon. So a pair of socks, underpants, used condom,

699
01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:47.639
I don't know whatever that's in your pocket or on

700
01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:54.599
your foot, you know, a necklace, a brasier, a thong,

701
01:01:56.199 --> 01:02:01.760
a hat, a wig, nell parley polish now varnish or whatever.

702
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:13.199
Fake nails, fake eyelashes, piercings, you know, just like ear

703
01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:17.880
rings or nipple rings or nose rings or whatever. You

704
01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:21.440
could just change Teddy Bears for any of those things

705
01:02:21.519 --> 01:02:25.559
and say a piece of chewing gum. Once completed the

706
01:02:25.639 --> 01:02:30.760
London Marathon, strapped to a runner or a cough cough

707
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:36.280
tablet or I don't know what kinds of things people

708
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:40.320
a bag of feathers. I don't know what people take.

709
01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:49.039
I mean, probably not a barbell, because you don't want

710
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:52.840
to take weights with you. Ankle weights. Yeah, probably that's

711
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:56.960
never been used in a marathon. I imagine. I used

712
01:02:57.000 --> 01:03:00.480
to have ankle weights when I was a kid. I

713
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:03.440
used to use them when I was practicing kicking, and

714
01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:07.599
also when I used to go running, And it was

715
01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:10.480
weird because I'd go running in them and then I'd

716
01:03:10.599 --> 01:03:14.320
take them off and I'd float away. It was funny.

717
01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:21.400
Early Teddy Bears had real bear claws as accessories. I

718
01:03:21.519 --> 01:03:27.320
don't know why why. Some nineteen hundreds bears were filled

719
01:03:27.360 --> 01:03:33.239
with sawdust, and certain Teddy Bears squeak instead of growl.

720
01:03:34.519 --> 01:03:37.039
I didn't have my Teddy Bear didn't make any sounds.

721
01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:47.679
German Steve bears originally had shoe button eyes, and safety

722
01:03:47.719 --> 01:03:54.559
plastic eyes didn't appear until the nineteen fifties. Some teddy

723
01:03:54.599 --> 01:04:00.599
bears had real horse hair stuffing, and growler Bear made

724
01:04:00.639 --> 01:04:08.639
a roaring sound when tipped that sounds familiar. Turning the

725
01:04:08.679 --> 01:04:13.920
bear upside down so it growls might not can do

726
01:04:13.960 --> 01:04:17.559
that with Vinnie's got to pick him up and he growls.

727
01:04:19.079 --> 01:04:25.599
Inflatable teddy bears were once soldiers, travel companions, oh and

728
01:04:26.639 --> 01:04:34.280
WW two bears were made from recycled uniforms. Blimey. Some

729
01:04:34.480 --> 01:04:40.840
teddy bears are knitted instead of sewn, so this section

730
01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:46.239
is global love. In Russia, teddy bears are considered symbols

731
01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:52.719
of strength. In Japan, teddy bears are given to brides

732
01:04:52.760 --> 01:04:58.559
for luck, and in China teddy bears are exchanged as apologies.

733
01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:10.960
France has luxury teddy bear courtiers, and in Germany stiff

734
01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:18.239
bears are seen international icons. South Korea has a teddy

735
01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:27.719
bear museum in jew Jedju Island, and some African tribes

736
01:05:28.400 --> 01:05:31.920
carved teddy bear like figures from wood. Not as cuddly

737
01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:34.559
though when it's in wood is it not quite as cuddly.

738
01:05:36.119 --> 01:05:38.480
In the Middle East, teddy bears were banned in some

739
01:05:38.679 --> 01:05:48.719
places as Western toys not a Western toy. No. In Sweden,

740
01:05:49.400 --> 01:05:54.599
teddy bears are often given at graduations, and in Mexico,

741
01:05:55.679 --> 01:06:00.000
giant teddy bears are parade floats because that was where

742
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:05.679
the biggest sixty two feet or inches, wasn't it the

743
01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:10.480
biggest one ever in Mexico? So this is the last

744
01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:16.360
ten strange facts. In nineteen twenty six, According to this,

745
01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:21.800
a teddy bear saved a child by cushioning a fall. Wow,

746
01:06:22.960 --> 01:06:25.679
how big was the teddy bear or how small was

747
01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:29.519
the child? Because that it'd have to be quite a

748
01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:35.480
lot bigger than a person wouldn't to really, I don't know. Well,

749
01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:39.599
I'm glad anyway, I'm good. Good. A teddy bear once

750
01:06:39.719 --> 01:06:44.079
got knighted in a school ceremony. I'm not sure it's

751
01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:49.920
really valid though, getting knighted at school. You know, even

752
01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:53.119
as a human. You know, if I got knighted in

753
01:06:53.239 --> 01:07:02.800
a school ceremony and I was called sir or or knighted,

754
01:07:05.199 --> 01:07:09.239
I probably wouldn't be walking around saying, yeah, my name's sir,

755
01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:17.679
Lancelot Jason or whatever, like no, lord, my name's Lord JJ,

756
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:22.360
when did that happen? When did you get When did

757
01:07:22.440 --> 01:07:29.079
you get knighted? I was fourteen, and it was during

758
01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:31.719
a very quiet period, the last week of school, and

759
01:07:31.840 --> 01:07:35.039
I was bored. We were all very bored, so we

760
01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:39.920
united each other in a school ceremony. So please from

761
01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:43.440
now on call me Lord. That would be the end

762
01:07:43.480 --> 01:07:47.440
of that conversation, wouldn't it. In fact, I would hasten

763
01:07:47.559 --> 01:07:52.079
to add, it's just a guess that the job application

764
01:07:52.199 --> 01:07:59.159
would be unsuccessful. So some hospitals let kids dressed teddy

765
01:07:59.199 --> 01:08:04.039
bears in surgical scrubs. I mean, that's that's going the

766
01:08:04.079 --> 01:08:15.719
opposite way, isn't it surgical scrubs. I don't know why

767
01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:18.159
that's funny. It's just I don't know. It's got a

768
01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:22.720
visual of that. It's like some hospitals won't let you

769
01:08:22.800 --> 01:08:25.640
have teddy bears at all, and the other one like, like, well,

770
01:08:26.680 --> 01:08:28.359
you can use them as a doctor if you like,

771
01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:32.159
We'll use them as a doctor. We use them in surgery.

772
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:37.359
A teddy bear wants to travel to the top of

773
01:08:37.479 --> 01:08:41.840
Mount Everest, I'm guessing it gain attached to someone. So

774
01:08:42.279 --> 01:08:44.880
the same you could use for a pair of hiking

775
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:52.880
boots and a tent a. You know all kinds of

776
01:08:52.960 --> 01:08:57.000
things that you travel. I mentioned if youse climbing Mount Everest,

777
01:08:57.039 --> 01:08:59.880
there'd be quite a few different things you'd need with you.

778
01:09:02.199 --> 01:09:06.600
A little television, definitely, a little television, a laptop, stuff

779
01:09:06.680 --> 01:09:14.239
like that, and some cheese. Got a bit of cheese.

780
01:09:16.039 --> 01:09:19.119
In twenty twelve, a teddy Bear went viral after being

781
01:09:19.239 --> 01:09:27.399
left on a train. I don't remember that, thankfully. How

782
01:09:27.479 --> 01:09:30.800
did that go viral? A teddy Bear being left on

783
01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:35.000
a train? I'm surprised they're not made a movie about it.

784
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:41.199
Whoever they are, please sometimes use teddy Bears to Okay,

785
01:09:41.239 --> 01:09:43.279
I'm not going to read that one out. A teddy

786
01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:50.640
Bear once broke eBay records for online auction price cool.

787
01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:58.800
A teddy Bear themed cruise ship exists. Oh that's nice,

788
01:10:01.039 --> 01:10:07.279
and yeah, that's it. Really, there's one about some psychologists

789
01:10:07.319 --> 01:10:08.880
and stuff, but I'm not going to read that out.

790
01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:19.479
Let's keep it light, baby, nice and light yet and

791
01:10:19.600 --> 01:10:24.199
that's it. That is all of the one hundred apart

792
01:10:24.199 --> 01:10:29.560
from the couple I missed out teddy Bear facts or

793
01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:36.319
teddy Bear trivia facts. I don't know about you, but

794
01:10:36.960 --> 01:10:40.359
I'm excited. That's excited me. In a way that I

795
01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:46.199
didn't expect. Mmm mmmmm. So thank you very much for listening,

796
01:10:47.840 --> 01:10:51.960
and remember, I'll finish now this at the end of

797
01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:55.239
the recording. Remember to be kind to yourself, because you

798
01:10:55.319 --> 01:11:01.239
do deserve to be happy. Be gentle with yourself. You

799
01:11:01.399 --> 01:11:20.199
deserve to feel safe, lots of love. Bye. Relax in

800
01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:31.000
a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in a way

801
01:11:31.199 --> 01:11:39.720
that can not just allow you to feel calmer now

802
01:11:40.880 --> 01:11:49.479
and throughout the time we spend together here, not just

803
01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:55.359
relaxed at the end of the recording when it's finished

804
01:11:55.439 --> 01:12:01.960
and you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace,

805
01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:19.359
but also I think it would be nice to have

806
01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:37.039
those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after the recording

807
01:12:37.119 --> 01:12:50.560
has ended, so that you can still benefit from listening

808
01:12:51.479 --> 01:13:00.359
to my voice, maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow,

809
01:13:06.439 --> 01:13:14.239
and then by listening regularly, especially if you find like

810
01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:17.880
some people do and myself as well. I sometimes I

811
01:13:18.039 --> 01:13:28.520
find one particular recording that really resonates with me, and

812
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:33.840
I just listen to it over and over again every morning,

813
01:13:34.039 --> 01:13:46.600
every evening. There was this recording from We're going back

814
01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:51.880
to about nineteen ninety nine. It was it wasn't hypnosis,

815
01:13:51.960 --> 01:13:57.239
but it was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,

816
01:13:59.720 --> 01:14:04.920
and I managed to find it again and it still

817
01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:10.439
has the same effect on me. And part of it

818
01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:25.479
was the person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful,

819
01:14:27.640 --> 01:14:34.079
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

820
01:14:34.199 --> 01:14:44.880
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even

821
01:14:45.640 --> 01:14:54.119
pressing the play button that since I've done that pressed

822
01:14:54.159 --> 01:15:02.680
the play button. This was in the days of CD

823
01:15:02.920 --> 01:15:11.560
players pressed the play button. If fact, it might have

824
01:15:11.640 --> 01:15:16.079
even been a tape recorder. I'd lie down on the

825
01:15:16.159 --> 01:15:29.520
bed and then even without necessarily listening to her words

826
01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:42.159
because I had them memorized. Really, it was as if

827
01:15:42.279 --> 01:15:53.479
my body knew exactly what to do, and the muscles

828
01:15:53.760 --> 01:16:15.079
just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my

829
01:16:15.279 --> 01:16:29.159
mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening to

830
01:16:29.279 --> 01:16:38.479
this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis, and

831
01:16:38.760 --> 01:16:47.600
long before I ever made any videos or audio recordings myself,

832
01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:52.199
because I didn't start doing that till two thousand and six,

833
01:16:59.119 --> 01:17:15.039
I knew, I knew how helpful I found being able

834
01:17:15.159 --> 01:17:24.159
to just let go, to have that trust in the

835
01:17:24.319 --> 01:17:34.640
person that I'm listening to, knowing that it's going to

836
01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:45.479
be just as relaxing, if not more so. Each time

837
01:17:45.800 --> 01:17:58.239
you hear my voice, you may feel the same. Some

838
01:17:58.640 --> 01:18:05.199
people have been listening to me for over a decade,

839
01:18:13.640 --> 01:18:17.640
maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,

840
01:18:19.439 --> 01:18:26.439
but maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.

841
01:18:37.680 --> 01:18:43.640
There's something that I do which you may not realize

842
01:18:46.079 --> 01:19:04.600
by listening, is when I record these recordings now, for example,

843
01:19:09.159 --> 01:19:16.920
I also am affected by the words that I say.

844
01:19:22.239 --> 01:19:31.560
So if I set you focus on your feet, notice

845
01:19:31.680 --> 01:19:38.840
your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

846
01:19:43.760 --> 01:20:01.159
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

847
01:20:01.319 --> 01:20:08.960
focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between

848
01:20:09.039 --> 01:20:19.279
each hand, perhaps notice the the air in the room,

849
01:20:19.840 --> 01:20:24.600
the temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.

850
01:20:32.439 --> 01:20:36.279
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

851
01:20:36.479 --> 01:20:44.359
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

852
01:20:44.920 --> 01:20:49.680
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

853
01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:08.600
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

854
01:21:08.960 --> 01:21:37.159
aware of how relaxed my hands our feeling now and

855
01:21:37.359 --> 01:21:44.239
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

856
01:21:44.359 --> 01:21:57.479
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

857
01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:14.199
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

858
01:22:22.119 --> 01:22:34.680
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

859
01:22:39.560 --> 01:22:48.640
and then I carry on talking. And it's only where

860
01:22:49.000 --> 01:22:58.079
I listen back to do the editing. I hear snoring,

861
01:23:00.039 --> 01:23:07.279
and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

862
01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:17.359
This snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I

863
01:23:17.439 --> 01:23:25.520
sound like when I snare and I get really into

864
01:23:25.640 --> 01:23:45.000
the whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How

865
01:23:45.119 --> 01:23:55.239
relaxed do you feel in your feet, how relaxed you

866
01:23:55.560 --> 01:24:16.760
feel in your hands. I have noticed more and more

867
01:24:22.720 --> 01:24:35.319
that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,

868
01:24:39.039 --> 01:24:55.199
the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional

869
01:24:58.399 --> 01:25:19.319
muscle relaxation. So this allows you the breve easier without

870
01:25:20.840 --> 01:25:41.479
necessarily focusing on your breath. However, being able to notice

871
01:25:52.159 --> 01:26:21.840
the ease in which you breathe so naturally. You breathe

872
01:26:22.479 --> 01:27:06.119
so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving,

873
01:27:11.880 --> 01:27:25.159
when I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize

874
01:27:27.319 --> 01:27:41.680
a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that

875
01:27:43.760 --> 01:28:16.479
life giving oxygen. It feels nice to, if nothing else,

876
01:28:19.720 --> 01:28:53.840
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling

877
01:28:54.239 --> 01:29:44.720
of peace, serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to

878
01:29:45.039 --> 01:30:20.119
just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful,

879
01:30:30.039 --> 01:31:12.840
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

880
01:31:39.319 --> 01:32:30.680
noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because

881
01:32:30.880 --> 01:32:59.399
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical

882
01:32:59.720 --> 01:33:11.399
sensations of allowing the stress drip out of your body,

883
01:33:17.920 --> 01:33:40.920
to appear out of every part of your body and

884
01:33:41.279 --> 01:34:20.720
being released from your brain in your mind slowly but surely,

885
01:34:27.640 --> 01:35:21.760
the muscles se lax, relax so very deeply, relax so deeply,

886
01:35:39.560 --> 01:35:49.680
and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders,

887
01:36:07.640 --> 01:36:32.000
deepening each part of your body further and deeper and deeper.

888
01:36:46.680 --> 01:37:17.039
Noticing the feelings in the back of your neck, feelings

889
01:37:17.279 --> 01:38:06.079
in your wrists, muscles in front of your body. I

890
01:38:06.359 --> 01:38:55.359
also feeling peaceful deeply. There's a sense of peace spreads

891
01:38:55.800 --> 01:39:35.359
through your very core. Even when you focus on your mind,

892
01:39:47.319 --> 01:39:49.880
your mind becomes.

893
01:39:56.560 --> 01:40:18.199
Bef and slower, heven, deeper.

894
01:40:33.119 --> 01:41:35.600
Relaxing, so very slow, his stomach PA's fall in your stomach.

895
01:41:57.720 --> 01:42:31.800
Look back, Notice notice how relaxed you'd now fear in

896
01:42:32.000 --> 01:43:04.680
the hole of your back, your spy Yeah, from your brain,

897
01:43:05.159 --> 01:43:12.960
all the way down the middle of your back, sending

898
01:43:13.319 --> 01:43:36.560
and receiving millions of messages every day, deep comfort, increasing

899
01:43:47.079 --> 01:44:52.680
deeply relaxed, your knees, legs, spreading those signals down a

900
01:44:52.920 --> 01:45:01.560
spine or cord into air every ah. If you're body,

901
01:45:16.239 --> 01:46:04.479
your shins, and your calf muscles, we're outbursts feelings of

902
01:46:04.720 --> 01:46:21.800
peace and tranquility spreading through your body, tips of your toes,

903
01:46:26.199 --> 01:46:37.680
to your eyes, your fingers, all the way to your

904
01:46:37.800 --> 01:47:53.319
lower back. Letting go, radiating peace, drifting mind just warmeding away,

905
01:48:02.840 --> 01:48:44.479
happy to let go, let go completely, let go, so tranquil,

the whole body, enjoying a sensor listing go, he even

more pece enjoying the space, this space of peace.

01:51:47.760 --> 01:54:10.000
And safety, so fury he relaxed, lessing God. Maybe we

01:54:10.239 --> 01:54:10.760
can just.

910
01:54:13.640 --> 01:54:22.439
Focus on the different parts of your body, just to

911
01:54:22.760 --> 01:55:51.560
notice your forehead and your eyes future, So Louise, noticing

912
01:55:51.800 --> 01:57:27.039
the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, prating peace for energy,

01:58:00.039 --> 01:59:12.119
pease to breathe so much easier. Lease you may have

01:59:15.600 --> 02:00:15.600

Relaxed forty so relaxed, so relaxed.

Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful,

920
02:04:53.520 --> 02:06:01.279
so peace rel liquor so peaceful, so fair face. And

921
02:06:01.439 --> 02:06:08.720
you could start to notice that you are feeling more relaxed,

922
02:06:11.720 --> 02:06:21.479
even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon that

923
02:06:22.840 --> 02:06:28.920
sense of physical comfort that is growing within you throughout

924
02:06:29.000 --> 02:06:41.800
your body, and your mind starts to slow down, and

925
02:06:41.960 --> 02:06:49.439
that could be almost in recognition of I guess my

926
02:06:49.680 --> 02:07:04.439
speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer.

927
02:07:08.000 --> 02:07:15.920
Just by listening to my voice, you give yourself an

928
02:07:16.000 --> 02:07:23.960
opportunity to take a break from the day, take a

929
02:07:24.039 --> 02:07:31.680
break from your life as it is, and to give

930
02:07:31.760 --> 02:07:40.159
yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time off,

931
02:07:42.439 --> 02:07:47.800
and to allow your body to relax and allow your

932
02:07:47.960 --> 02:07:58.560
mind to slow down, which in turn releases the tension

933
02:08:00.079 --> 02:08:09.159
any stresses that you had in your body. It's almost

934
02:08:09.199 --> 02:08:13.319
as if the parts of your body just open up,

935
02:08:14.680 --> 02:08:26.279
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing

936
02:08:27.159 --> 02:08:36.680
that negativity with positive heathing energy which then fills your

937
02:08:36.760 --> 02:08:48.560
body up and your mind to also starts to appreciate

938
02:08:49.479 --> 02:09:07.800
those feelings of increasing confidence and almost uplifting feeling positive, healing,

939
02:09:11.000 --> 02:09:19.560
an energy that spreads through your body like a wave

940
02:09:21.880 --> 02:09:34.039
of comfort, and all this comes and just allowing yourself

941
02:09:36.880 --> 02:09:42.039
a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however long you

942
02:09:42.159 --> 02:09:54.720
want it to be, to just rest and allow your

943
02:09:54.880 --> 02:10:04.560
mind and your body to almost rea set itself to

944
02:10:04.720 --> 02:10:20.880
the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more

945
02:10:21.079 --> 02:10:34.399
room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around

946
02:10:34.720 --> 02:10:42.920
your body and into your mind, almost as if your

947
02:10:43.039 --> 02:10:53.560
mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each

948
02:10:53.840 --> 02:11:07.159
other with that growing positivity and calmness, And it feels nice.

949
02:11:09.560 --> 02:11:15.600
It really does feel nice to know that you are

950
02:11:15.640 --> 02:11:25.800
the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort

951
02:11:29.039 --> 02:11:42.520
and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout

952
02:11:42.640 --> 02:11:54.840
your body. And as I focus on each part of

953
02:11:54.960 --> 02:12:07.119
your body, you can notice that that part becomes even

954
02:12:08.359 --> 02:12:17.680
more relaxed just by focusing on it. It becomes even

955
02:12:17.920 --> 02:12:30.560
more calm and comfortable just by focusing. And as I

956
02:12:30.840 --> 02:12:39.119
move down your body, starting at your head, the parts

957
02:12:39.279 --> 02:12:46.680
that you've already focused on, will continue to relax deeply,

958
02:12:49.479 --> 02:12:55.520
and those parts that we've not yet focused on were

959
02:12:55.640 --> 02:13:07.439
just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation of even

960
02:13:07.840 --> 02:13:20.399
more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start

961
02:13:20.520 --> 02:13:27.520
by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of the

962
02:13:27.800 --> 02:13:38.079
feelings of your forehead and any background sounds like mister

963
02:13:38.359 --> 02:13:43.279
Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel even

964
02:13:43.439 --> 02:13:53.439
more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment. This isn't

965
02:13:53.920 --> 02:14:01.800
this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world. I

966
02:14:01.960 --> 02:14:09.359
live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around.

967
02:14:14.720 --> 02:14:19.800
So as you focus on your forehead, just notice how

968
02:14:19.880 --> 02:14:29.880
it becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on

969
02:14:30.119 --> 02:14:39.640
my voice and that part of your body. Moving down

970
02:14:39.920 --> 02:14:52.439
to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your

971
02:14:52.479 --> 02:15:00.359
eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,

972
02:15:03.720 --> 02:15:14.359
and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely. Moving

973
02:15:14.479 --> 02:15:21.640
your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

974
02:15:22.880 --> 02:15:30.800
your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of your mouth relaxing,

975
02:15:34.319 --> 02:15:44.560
calm and lease. As you focus now on your jaw,

976
02:15:47.600 --> 02:15:52.039
not just the part of your journey your mouth and

977
02:15:52.159 --> 02:15:56.399
your chin, but all the way up the size of

978
02:15:56.479 --> 02:16:03.159
your face to your ears, the hole of your jaw,

979
02:16:05.840 --> 02:16:32.920
feeling more relaxed and calm. Focusing on your neck, the

980
02:16:33.079 --> 02:16:40.559
front of your neck and your throat relaxing and loose

981
02:16:41.319 --> 02:16:50.920
and calm. The side of your neck, the right and

982
02:16:51.159 --> 02:17:03.760
left side of your neck relax and lease and calm.

983
02:17:10.120 --> 02:17:16.799
And now the back of your neck, focusing on the

984
02:17:17.079 --> 02:17:27.479
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

985
02:17:27.680 --> 02:17:36.559
may have been there before, and enjoying that sense of

986
02:17:37.559 --> 02:17:48.200
increasing comfort and release that you can experience in the

987
02:17:48.360 --> 02:18:00.600
back of your neck. Moving down your back and moving

988
02:18:00.879 --> 02:18:05.200
either side of your spine right from the top of

989
02:18:05.319 --> 02:18:10.799
your back all the way down to the bottom of

990
02:18:10.920 --> 02:18:27.879
your back down to your lower back. And as you

991
02:18:28.120 --> 02:18:35.440
move up and down your spine, you can feel the

992
02:18:35.680 --> 02:18:50.680
muscles either side of your spine relaxing even more. And

993
02:18:50.840 --> 02:18:57.559
as those muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to

994
02:18:57.760 --> 02:19:08.159
spread woods from your spine into both sides of your back,

995
02:19:11.959 --> 02:19:15.680
the top of your back, the middle and your lower back.

996
02:19:19.200 --> 02:19:26.319
And as you scan gently and slowly up and down

997
02:19:26.520 --> 02:19:31.559
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your

998
02:19:31.680 --> 02:19:41.639
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle

999
02:19:41.680 --> 02:19:48.959
of your back also seem to just almost divide from

1000
02:19:49.040 --> 02:20:02.440
each other, separating and almost melting. And in your lower

1001
02:20:02.559 --> 02:20:13.239
back there seems to be an extra special feeling of

1002
02:20:13.479 --> 02:20:25.520
comfort that spreads into your hips. Sit down your lower back,

1003
02:20:25.840 --> 02:20:33.799
into your hips, into the area where your cosicks are,

1004
02:20:37.360 --> 02:20:43.559
and into your buttocks, and all these muscles that spread

1005
02:20:46.319 --> 02:20:56.040
from your lower back into your hip area start to melt,

1006
02:21:00.520 --> 02:21:13.000
start to really let go. Don't even nowhere about to

1007
02:21:13.479 --> 02:21:20.200
focus on your shoulders. Your back and your spine will

1008
02:21:20.319 --> 02:21:41.479
continue to let go, continue to relax so calmly, and

1009
02:21:41.600 --> 02:21:46.680
as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice that

1010
02:21:46.840 --> 02:22:18.280
they're already feeling really loose, already feeding calm and feeding

1011
02:22:22.479 --> 02:22:30.760
those muscles. Then move from your neck into your shoulders.

1012
02:22:37.360 --> 02:23:06.760
Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and

1013
02:23:06.920 --> 02:23:19.760
the feeling in your shoulders seens to spread deep into

1014
02:23:19.879 --> 02:23:30.280
your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

1015
02:23:30.680 --> 02:23:47.680
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving

1016
02:23:47.760 --> 02:23:56.559
all away to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area

1017
02:23:56.760 --> 02:24:06.520
between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms, healing.

1018
02:24:11.959 --> 02:24:25.000
You feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which

1019
02:24:25.239 --> 02:24:47.399
sends that deep healing message into your arms. You may

1020
02:24:47.680 --> 02:24:52.959
feel almost as if your arms are not even there,

1021
02:24:54.479 --> 02:25:16.360
because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm,

1022
02:25:31.479 --> 02:25:53.360
so pose, not feeling, spreading all the way down your arms,

1023
02:25:56.120 --> 02:26:22.079
two elbows, including your elbows, their comforts spreads or away

1024
02:26:24.799 --> 02:26:39.799
into your wrists, your forearments, and your wrists so heavy,

1025
02:26:43.479 --> 02:27:24.520
yet at the same time so light and gentle. Freaks.

1026
02:27:27.200 --> 02:28:05.879
Now on your hands, my hands, so peaceful in your hands,

1027
02:28:24.360 --> 02:28:43.360
there's a sense of real peace. It just seems to

1028
02:28:47.399 --> 02:29:08.360
I feel so familiar when your hands relax deeply fies

1029
02:29:26.040 --> 02:30:34.520
the thing is a thing, yes, sid ly a thinger tips.

1030
02:31:03.120 --> 02:31:22.280
Moving your attention to the front of your body, so comfortable,

1031
02:31:33.280 --> 02:33:00.120
Moving your focus to your legs. Why's my souls in

1032
02:33:00.239 --> 02:33:54.040
your thighs, your knees so relaxed, m calf muscles and

1033
02:33:54.360 --> 02:36:02.600
just shins com pusy hey fyy h, heathen in your feet?

1034
02:36:04.920 --> 02:36:59.040
Yeah, sir, peaceful, so calm, so peaceful, so calm, sir,

1035
02:36:59.559 --> 02:37:09.440

Peace fall, so calm, loving.

1038
02:37:42.959 --> 02:37:50.079
That deep relaxation to spread your chest, in your stomach,

1039
02:37:53.840 --> 02:38:21.600
so relax, letting go everything. So I'm gonna start counting

1040
02:38:21.719 --> 02:38:33.440
down now from twenty down to one. You can imagine

1041
02:38:33.479 --> 02:38:37.159
in a way it's like just walking down some steps

1042
02:38:39.120 --> 02:38:43.479
and each step or twenty steps, and each step represents

1043
02:38:44.760 --> 02:38:57.639
a level of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of

1044
02:38:57.879 --> 02:39:08.559
that comfort, and the fairvies you walk down those steps,

1045
02:39:08.760 --> 02:39:21.000
that the deeper and more relaxed you feel. So starting

1046
02:39:21.159 --> 02:42:08.719
with number twenty twenty nineteen eight time seventeen sixteen U

1047
02:43:09.760 --> 02:50:20.000
fifteen fourteen four T too well five eight nine eighty

1048
02:51:19.040 --> 02:59:10.079
seven six five four s one.

1049
02:59:59.680 --> 03:00:00.200
No oh.

1050
03:00:04.520 --> 03:00:17.159
As you focus on your eyes, we're gonna count down

1051
03:00:17.520 --> 03:00:28.680
from ten dout to one, focusing just on your eyes,

1052
03:00:32.440 --> 03:00:40.920
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1053
03:00:42.440 --> 03:00:59.479
our whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1054
03:00:59.559 --> 03:01:07.920
we can down from ten down to one, whilst focus

1055
03:01:08.079 --> 03:01:23.079
in on your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed with

1056
03:01:23.440 --> 03:01:36.440
each number counting down, and you may find the all

1057
03:01:36.600 --> 03:01:42.719
you want to do is just drift off to sleep.

1058
03:01:45.719 --> 03:01:52.319
And if that's what you want, then just allow yourself

1059
03:01:52.440 --> 03:02:07.079
to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going

1060
03:02:07.200 --> 03:02:17.120
to begin counting down from ten down to one right now,

1061
03:02:25.719 --> 03:11:23.760
ten nine eight seven y five four three two one.

1062
03:11:30.040 --> 03:11:46.719
So counting down from ten to one ten nine eight

1063
03:11:49.559 --> 03:12:14.360
seven six five four three two one. And maybe that

1064
03:12:14.559 --> 03:12:18.680
was a bit too quick in order to relax. Maybe

1065
03:12:18.680 --> 03:12:23.000
it's a bit too fast for you to notice the

1066
03:12:24.319 --> 03:12:31.120
calming of your body, maybe even a little bit of

1067
03:12:31.239 --> 03:12:35.159
pressure there, Like you're counting down from ten to one.

1068
03:12:35.280 --> 03:12:38.680
Would you expect me to do man, expect me to

1069
03:12:38.760 --> 03:12:48.559
stick go floppy just because you're counting down. I could

1070
03:12:48.639 --> 03:12:52.360
try it again, but this time I go this slower.

1071
03:12:54.600 --> 03:12:59.479
This time, as you focus on the whole of your

1072
03:12:59.520 --> 03:13:07.879
body before we focus on your legs. Just notice how

1073
03:13:07.959 --> 03:13:22.079
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every

1074
03:13:22.200 --> 03:13:55.239
number that I count down ten nine eight seven six

1075
03:14:03.719 --> 03:15:12.639
five four three two one. And just notice how how

1076
03:15:12.719 --> 03:15:22.799
you feel, generally, how your body feels. It's not necessarily

1077
03:15:22.920 --> 03:15:33.280
even about counting down from ten to one. It's that

1078
03:15:33.600 --> 03:15:53.280
space that you have, that space between being active physically

1079
03:15:53.479 --> 03:16:03.079
or mentally to just sitting or lying down, just being there,

1080
03:16:03.840 --> 03:16:09.280
not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing to think

1081
03:16:09.399 --> 03:16:15.280
about anything. So it opens up a space, you know,

1082
03:16:15.479 --> 03:16:24.799
a bit of a space a gap. And the more

1083
03:16:26.079 --> 03:16:29.440
I came down from ten to one, the bigger that

1084
03:16:29.639 --> 03:16:40.639
gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation.

1085
03:16:46.559 --> 03:16:58.920
It's a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or

1086
03:16:59.440 --> 03:17:13.319
discover foots physically or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you.

1087
03:17:16.000 --> 03:17:16.559
To just.

1088
03:17:19.520 --> 03:17:25.920
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to

1089
03:17:26.079 --> 03:17:36.159
one and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as

1090
03:17:36.200 --> 03:17:42.280
it widens, it's almost like the stress and attention falls

1091
03:17:42.559 --> 03:18:00.959
into the gap and gives you that distance, that space.

1092
03:18:03.319 --> 03:19:58.079
Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three two one.

1093
03:20:10.000 --> 03:20:30.079
How does your body feel now? Can you notice the

1094
03:20:31.440 --> 03:21:08.719
feeling calmer, the feeling more relaxed as we now focus

1095
03:21:08.840 --> 03:21:29.520
on your legs, just your legs. We're just gonna start

1096
03:21:29.639 --> 03:21:48.680
with focusing on your thighs. Of course, it's not the

1097
03:21:48.799 --> 03:21:57.319
most exciting thing to be doing, because I'm sure like

1098
03:21:57.440 --> 03:22:00.559
most of your body is not not going on right now.

1099
03:22:09.639 --> 03:22:15.920
Just focusing on the whole of your thighs, the tops

1100
03:22:15.959 --> 03:22:22.040
of your thighs, the sides of your thighs, the bottoms

1101
03:22:22.120 --> 03:22:26.559
of your thighs, your outer thighs, and your inner thighs.

1102
03:22:28.799 --> 03:22:32.680
Basically the whole of your thigh that leads into your

1103
03:22:32.840 --> 03:22:47.760
hip and it goes down to your knee joint. Now,

1104
03:22:47.840 --> 03:22:54.840
this is a big area, it's a very heavy area.

1105
03:22:55.360 --> 03:23:01.319
It's very strong. Probably the strongest muscles in your body

1106
03:23:01.959 --> 03:23:16.319
are in your thighs. But I don't think we perhaps

1107
03:23:18.319 --> 03:23:31.040
give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge

1108
03:23:31.719 --> 03:23:51.120
how important our thighs are to our lives, how much

1109
03:23:53.719 --> 03:24:00.159
they actually do for us all through our lives. Yes,

1110
03:24:07.200 --> 03:24:12.760
and it may seem to sound really weird, but I

1111
03:24:12.879 --> 03:24:18.840
think that all of our body parts, especially our thighs,

1112
03:24:19.840 --> 03:24:27.159
need some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit

1113
03:24:27.239 --> 03:24:45.920
of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for our thighs do

1114
03:24:46.159 --> 03:24:55.879
for us. And I know this may sound a bit strange.

1115
03:24:58.440 --> 03:25:01.520
Maybe you think, why am I. Surely I should be

1116
03:25:01.600 --> 03:25:06.360
out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,

1117
03:25:10.520 --> 03:25:12.760
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.

1118
03:25:13.840 --> 03:25:16.040
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

1119
03:25:16.120 --> 03:25:19.840
outside hugging a tree. Now I can't see the television

1120
03:25:19.879 --> 03:25:28.479
from the tree if you move down to your knees,

1121
03:25:30.360 --> 03:25:38.319
gaining such an important part, and I think we don't

1122
03:25:38.399 --> 03:25:46.239
necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate

1123
03:25:48.040 --> 03:25:53.120
all that my knees do for me until I have

1124
03:25:53.239 --> 03:25:58.479
a problem with my knee. It's occasionally if I maybe

1125
03:25:58.479 --> 03:26:04.079
i'll bash it or it's aching for some reason. It's

1126
03:26:04.360 --> 03:26:10.079
then that I realize how much it does. You know,

1127
03:26:10.200 --> 03:26:16.120
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1128
03:26:17.920 --> 03:26:25.159
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's

1129
03:26:25.399 --> 03:26:33.760
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.

1130
03:26:37.840 --> 03:26:42.479
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1131
03:26:42.559 --> 03:26:50.040
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude

1132
03:26:51.600 --> 03:26:54.200
and love to your knees for all that they do

1133
03:26:54.399 --> 03:27:07.399
for you. And you can still have that attention on

1134
03:27:07.520 --> 03:27:13.680
your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe

1135
03:27:14.000 --> 03:27:31.440
you've noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as you

1136
03:27:31.600 --> 03:27:36.799
focus now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins

1137
03:27:37.680 --> 03:27:43.239
and your calf muscles and the bones between your knees

1138
03:27:44.120 --> 03:27:51.840
and your feet incorporate, and of course your ankles so important.

1139
03:27:57.520 --> 03:28:02.120
Anyone has had even the like the slightest sprain of

1140
03:28:02.200 --> 03:28:10.440
an ankle knows how much we take our ankles for granted.

1141
03:28:16.360 --> 03:28:18.360
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

1142
03:28:18.440 --> 03:28:24.040
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

1143
03:28:24.200 --> 03:28:29.040
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1144
03:28:29.120 --> 03:28:32.840
it doesn't I can't see any problem with that because

1145
03:28:32.879 --> 03:28:38.879
we're just picking stuff up. But our ankles so much

1146
03:28:39.159 --> 03:28:48.799
thinner than the rest of our legs, and from a

1147
03:28:48.920 --> 03:28:53.760
physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense

1148
03:28:55.120 --> 03:29:02.479
that all this weight would ultimately be resting on your

1149
03:29:02.559 --> 03:29:17.559
ankles then leading to your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

1150
03:29:17.639 --> 03:29:23.360
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1151
03:29:23.440 --> 03:29:35.319
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps you

1152
03:29:35.479 --> 03:29:48.799
to get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1153
03:29:48.840 --> 03:29:56.440
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1154
03:29:56.520 --> 03:30:01.600
point in calf muscles. It didn't seem to do anything. Okay,

1155
03:30:02.719 --> 03:30:06.239
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles

1156
03:30:06.319 --> 03:30:09.799
get some work. But of course that's not true. The

1157
03:30:09.959 --> 03:30:14.319
calf muscles are being used whenever we use our legs

1158
03:30:19.920 --> 03:30:32.559
and your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped

1159
03:30:32.600 --> 03:30:37.319
in a way almost as a protector for the bone,

1160
03:30:44.879 --> 03:30:56.799
leading of course to your ankles and your feet. But

1161
03:30:56.879 --> 03:30:58.799
we're not going to focus on your feet. We're just

1162
03:30:58.879 --> 03:31:05.319
going to focus on the legs. I realize that now

1163
03:31:05.399 --> 03:31:08.879
that I've mentioned your feet, it got to be focusing

1164
03:31:09.159 --> 03:31:12.239
on them anyway, So maybe I should focus on your

1165
03:31:12.280 --> 03:31:18.120
feet a little bit. You can have them in your

1166
03:31:18.159 --> 03:31:24.559
awareness the same as you have your thighs in your awareness.

1167
03:31:25.399 --> 03:31:29.280
Even though we haven't been focusing on your thighs a

1168
03:31:29.440 --> 03:31:40.520
few minutes, we've been focusing on your ankles, there's still

1169
03:31:40.600 --> 03:31:55.680
that sensation of comfort in your thighs and this that

1170
03:31:56.120 --> 03:32:06.159
movement of energy because the thighs hold lots of different sensations.

1171
03:32:07.639 --> 03:32:12.479
Of course, there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that

1172
03:32:12.600 --> 03:32:25.440
we have in our thighs. But the skin on the

1173
03:32:25.600 --> 03:32:31.079
outside of the thighs, as in the outside of all

1174
03:32:31.159 --> 03:32:40.000
of our body, can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch,

1175
03:32:42.760 --> 03:32:56.120
sensitive to temperature. And inside your thighs the bones, there's

1176
03:32:57.159 --> 03:33:02.479
the muscle, there's the blood, vessels, the arches, all this

1177
03:33:02.719 --> 03:33:11.840
stuff that's inside your thighs. And I guess sometimes it'd

1178
03:33:11.879 --> 03:33:16.000
be nice if you could actually put your fingers inside

1179
03:33:16.079 --> 03:33:21.479
your thighs and a message, so you can message on

1180
03:33:21.600 --> 03:33:24.799
the outside, of course, but to be able to get

1181
03:33:25.040 --> 03:33:28.000
deep into the muscles and to be able to just

1182
03:33:28.280 --> 03:33:34.520
message inside your thighs, message in the bones of your

1183
03:33:34.600 --> 03:33:45.639
leg massage in all the veins and just gently healing

1184
03:33:46.319 --> 03:33:55.399
your thighs, and you could move down message and inside

1185
03:33:55.479 --> 03:34:02.399
your knees, just message in those bones, but with healing fingertips,

1186
03:34:03.840 --> 03:34:10.159
spreading that healing energy deep into the joints of your knees.

1187
03:34:15.600 --> 03:34:19.280
Of course, there's the back of your your knee, you know,

1188
03:34:19.399 --> 03:34:25.399
the inside crease where your knee is. It's a very

1189
03:34:25.639 --> 03:34:31.479
sensitive area. Very it feels very nice when you stroke it.

1190
03:34:32.920 --> 03:34:36.239
That might be because it's an area that's not really

1191
03:34:36.440 --> 03:34:42.920
touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that

1192
03:34:43.280 --> 03:34:50.159
crease in your legs. It's almost like a part that

1193
03:34:52.000 --> 03:35:03.239
has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,

1194
03:35:03.280 --> 03:35:13.799
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

1195
03:35:14.680 --> 03:35:24.319
your fingers into that crease in your legs, that fold

1196
03:35:24.479 --> 03:35:28.600
in between your legs. You can just massage with your fingertips.

1197
03:35:29.760 --> 03:35:36.559
Imagine your fingertips going inside, massage in the muscle tissue.

1198
03:35:41.159 --> 03:35:45.440
You can of course feel the bones of your knees

1199
03:35:46.920 --> 03:35:57.360
heading through your fingertips, and then as you go down

1200
03:36:00.239 --> 03:36:03.040
to your calf muscles. Now that's the part. I'd like

1201
03:36:03.120 --> 03:36:07.799
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1202
03:36:08.600 --> 03:36:17.920
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle.

1203
03:36:19.120 --> 03:36:27.680
Healing every part, and then doing.

1204
03:36:27.600 --> 03:36:35.040
The same for my shins, massage in and gently stroking

1205
03:36:35.239 --> 03:36:41.559
the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a loving way,

1206
03:36:42.879 --> 03:36:49.280
because they deserve to be treated as the precious bones

1207
03:36:49.360 --> 03:36:54.000
that they are. Because our legs are so precious as

1208
03:36:54.040 --> 03:36:58.760
in all the other parts of our body, the more

1209
03:36:58.840 --> 03:37:12.959
precious of any your on the planet. When you start

1210
03:37:13.079 --> 03:37:25.000
to think about your legs in this way, it can

1211
03:37:25.239 --> 03:37:34.760
change your perspective. It might sound a bit a bit

1212
03:37:35.000 --> 03:37:40.479
silly to start with the idea of having love for

1213
03:37:40.600 --> 03:37:49.920
your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting to be

1214
03:37:50.000 --> 03:37:57.399
able to put your hands in your thighs, massage the

1215
03:37:57.559 --> 03:38:03.440
muscles and the bones, and to get your fingers deep

1216
03:38:03.559 --> 03:38:13.280
in there, releasing all tension, just to show how much

1217
03:38:13.399 --> 03:38:20.879
you care about your legs, how much you care for

1218
03:38:22.000 --> 03:38:29.920
what your legs do for you regularly, your knees, your calves,

1219
03:38:31.280 --> 03:38:43.520
your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering how thin

1220
03:38:43.680 --> 03:38:47.280
they are compared to the rest of your legs, especially

1221
03:38:47.360 --> 03:39:02.040
your thighs. Yeah, They're so strong, so flexible, comsoletely amazing things.

1222
03:39:03.280 --> 03:39:12.959
Your ankles are truly a gift because of what they

1223
03:39:13.120 --> 03:39:24.799
do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless of how

1224
03:39:24.959 --> 03:39:28.959
what weight you are, even if you're only eight stone,

1225
03:39:31.079 --> 03:39:38.079
there's still a lot of weight for these little ankles. Now,

1226
03:39:38.120 --> 03:39:45.920
I'm a lot heavier than eight stone double down, yet

1227
03:39:46.000 --> 03:39:54.959
my ankles support my body all the time. Although they

1228
03:39:55.040 --> 03:39:58.239
do give off a sigh of relief when I sit down,

1229
03:40:00.559 --> 03:40:09.000
I have my whole legs do my feet feet also go,

1230
03:40:10.920 --> 03:40:38.639
my toes clap, We're so happy. Your legs really are amazing.

1231
03:40:41.239 --> 03:40:44.920
And I know that talking about talking about your legs

1232
03:40:45.040 --> 03:40:51.639
is probably possibly among the most most boring things I've

1233
03:40:51.680 --> 03:40:59.879
ever heard anyone say. Possibly they're boring or not h

1234
03:41:00.319 --> 03:41:15.799
everything I said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your

1235
03:41:15.879 --> 03:41:28.479
legs deserve not just respect, They deserve to relax deeply.

1236
03:41:35.760 --> 03:41:39.120
They deserve to take some time out of the day

1237
03:41:41.319 --> 03:42:10.079
to just let go completely. The legs really can relax.

1238
03:42:17.680 --> 03:42:21.799
And because the legs are so such a most you know,

1239
03:42:22.040 --> 03:42:28.000
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,

1240
03:42:28.079 --> 03:42:35.319
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that

1241
03:42:39.040 --> 03:42:49.879
journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

1242
03:42:51.280 --> 03:42:58.399
My hips feel really loose, and also my lwer back

1243
03:42:58.479 --> 03:43:05.079
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

1244
03:43:06.159 --> 03:43:09.239
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's

1245
03:43:09.319 --> 03:43:14.559
no stretching as far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1246
03:43:15.600 --> 03:43:18.239
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1247
03:43:18.479 --> 03:43:24.399
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension

1248
03:43:25.280 --> 03:43:46.559
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

1249
03:43:46.639 --> 03:43:54.479
down from ten down to one, and you can continue

1250
03:43:56.360 --> 03:44:19.120
to feel wonderfully relaxed. M ten nine eight seven, six,

1251
03:44:22.319 --> 03:44:55.200
five four three two one relax. So I'm just going

1252
03:44:55.280 --> 03:44:59.840
to count down for five down to one, and this

1253
03:45:00.120 --> 03:45:06.000
a countdown if you just focus on the numbers, just

1254
03:45:06.200 --> 03:45:16.680
the numbers counting down, and notice how you feel in

1255
03:45:16.840 --> 03:45:22.559
this moment as you hear the numbers counting down, knowing

1256
03:45:22.719 --> 03:45:36.159
that those numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer, not

1257
03:45:36.559 --> 03:45:44.680
just in your body, but also relaxing your mind. Just

1258
03:45:44.920 --> 03:45:50.479
notice how you feel. There's nothing to do, there's nothing

1259
03:45:50.840 --> 03:45:59.680
to say, there's nothing to think about. Starting with number

1260
03:45:59.760 --> 03:46:46.399
five life, four three two one. Now, as you notice

1261
03:46:50.520 --> 03:46:58.680
the gradual letting go the the tension in your body,

1262
03:47:02.280 --> 03:47:07.959
you may also begin to notice and be aware of

1263
03:47:08.120 --> 03:47:17.079
how your mind is starting to slow down. This is

1264
03:47:17.239 --> 03:47:23.799
just a natural thing that happens. It's not really a

1265
03:47:23.959 --> 03:47:31.040
special procedure. It's just natural because as your body relaxes,

1266
03:47:31.239 --> 03:47:36.680
your mind also starts to relax, and the more your

1267
03:47:36.760 --> 03:47:39.959
mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's just a

1268
03:47:40.159 --> 03:47:52.680
continuous circle of relaxation. And is that calmness that comes

1269
03:47:52.879 --> 03:47:59.959
from relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background

1270
03:48:00.079 --> 03:48:06.959
and sounds either your side online, it's still going to

1271
03:48:07.120 --> 03:48:12.840
be quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on,

1272
03:48:13.440 --> 03:48:17.639
there's no music in the background unless you're listening to

1273
03:48:17.760 --> 03:48:25.440
the recording with music, of course, you're very likely not

1274
03:48:25.559 --> 03:48:27.600
going to be sitting in a room with other people.

1275
03:48:28.520 --> 03:48:33.159
Of course you might be, but generally it's more ideal

1276
03:48:33.239 --> 03:48:38.239
if you can do this on your own, so no distractions,

1277
03:48:44.399 --> 03:48:57.360
and when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises

1278
03:49:00.040 --> 03:49:10.959
and circumfort starts to grow. And without trying to build

1279
03:49:11.040 --> 03:49:21.840
it up into something fantastical or something magical, this is

1280
03:49:22.040 --> 03:49:35.000
just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish. In fact,

1281
03:49:35.120 --> 03:49:42.600
it's almost the sense of relaxing completely happens really when

1282
03:49:43.600 --> 03:49:47.559
you put no effort into it. It's not something that

1283
03:49:47.719 --> 03:49:58.520
you can really force. It's something that happens naturally. And

1284
03:49:58.799 --> 03:50:07.399
part of the process of this recording and others is

1285
03:50:08.120 --> 03:50:18.920
simply two allow you to take advantage of this space

1286
03:50:21.600 --> 03:50:34.559
this time, to just let go, to just be here,

1287
03:50:36.040 --> 03:50:48.920
to be in tune with how you feel, yet with

1288
03:50:49.639 --> 03:51:01.479
the intention of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even

1289
03:51:03.159 --> 03:51:07.559
to fall asleep, depending on what it is that you

1290
03:51:08.680 --> 03:51:21.799
wish for yourself in this moment. As we know, relaxing

1291
03:51:23.479 --> 03:51:31.600
is the majority of the process of falling asleep. The

1292
03:51:31.680 --> 03:51:35.799
actual falling asleep part is the tiny bit at the end.

1293
03:51:39.159 --> 03:51:53.840
The deeper relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting.

1294
03:52:03.440 --> 03:52:10.040
You can also if you choose stay focused on my

1295
03:52:10.239 --> 03:52:39.159
voice and really enjoy the process gradually relaxing each muscle

1296
03:52:43.760 --> 03:53:10.639
in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of

1297
03:53:10.920 --> 03:53:26.520
letting go completely. This time, I'm going to count from

1298
03:53:26.760 --> 03:53:35.239
six down to one, and you can notice.

1299
03:53:36.239 --> 03:53:37.239
Your mind.

1300
03:53:39.559 --> 03:53:52.959
Calming down more with each number that you hear me say, naturally,

1301
03:53:54.040 --> 03:56:35.520
feeling calm and slow, peaceful, six, five, four, three, two, one,

1302
03:56:56.680 --> 03:57:10.040
being aware how your mind has slowed right down, sinking

1303
03:57:12.639 --> 03:57:32.920
deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1304
03:57:33.239 --> 03:57:43.200
you may notice that there are some thoughts still. There

1305
03:57:45.760 --> 03:57:54.920
may be some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps

1306
03:57:55.159 --> 03:57:56.000
need your attention.

1307
03:58:02.920 --> 03:58:04.280
That's what you can do is.

1308
03:58:09.840 --> 03:58:22.319
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love,

1309
03:58:24.079 --> 03:58:28.280
like all petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

1310
03:58:29.760 --> 03:58:36.879
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those

1311
03:58:37.120 --> 03:58:43.559
thoughts know that you're not abandoned in them. You just

1312
03:58:44.040 --> 03:58:54.079
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,

1313
03:58:56.399 --> 03:59:11.280
quiet down for now. So as you focus on those

1314
03:59:12.040 --> 03:59:16.920
remaining thoughts. As we count down this time from seven

1315
03:59:17.840 --> 03:59:26.520
down to one, with each number, just imagine sprinkling those

1316
03:59:26.760 --> 03:59:46.200
flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which

1317
03:59:46.239 --> 03:59:52.200
will allow them to just melt away and relax deeply.

1318
03:59:56.399 --> 04:00:10.799
Of every number, the thoughts would become more and more relaxed,

1319
04:00:16.399 --> 04:02:30.600
starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, two what

1320
04:02:47.760 --> 04:02:48.159
needs him?

1321
04:02:48.239 --> 04:02:48.440
Now?

1322
04:02:52.719 --> 04:03:14.120
Notice how relaxed feeling in your body. We're going to

1323
04:03:14.600 --> 04:03:28.600
focus on your hands, because the more relaxed your hands are,

1324
04:03:30.959 --> 04:03:34.799
the more relaxed your body and mind are.

1325
04:03:49.760 --> 04:03:50.079
And this.

1326
04:03:51.879 --> 04:04:02.040
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing

1327
04:04:02.559 --> 04:04:07.280
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or

1328
04:04:08.399 --> 04:04:18.639
dents in the fingers or anything like that. It's just

1329
04:04:19.159 --> 04:04:33.200
noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

1330
04:04:47.840 --> 04:04:58.319
Because the more relax your hands feel, the calmer your

1331
04:04:58.559 --> 04:05:10.399
mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout your body.

1332
04:05:15.600 --> 04:05:16.440
And you.

1333
04:05:19.120 --> 04:05:50.479
May have already noticed you mind is starting to dressed

1334
04:06:04.239 --> 04:06:18.520
like since just on your hands and fingers, allowing them

1335
04:06:19.559 --> 04:06:33.000
to experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your

1336
04:06:33.159 --> 04:06:51.600
hands and fingers, more and more relaxed. With each number

1337
04:06:59.520 --> 04:07:12.000
from eight down to one, you can almost feel that

1338
04:07:12.840 --> 04:07:22.639
healing and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers,

1339
04:07:26.040 --> 04:07:47.399
becoming year row relaxing with each number you hear, going

1340
04:07:47.639 --> 04:08:08.239
down eight down to one, drifting twisting again starting with

1341
04:08:12.840 --> 04:12:09.959
number eight, seven, five, four, three, just being here now,

1342
04:12:13.639 --> 04:12:19.719
nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,

1343
04:12:23.879 --> 04:12:34.959
and everything just feels calmer. And this is your natural

1344
04:12:35.120 --> 04:12:43.000
state of being. This is how you just normally feel

1345
04:12:43.840 --> 04:12:51.719
when you take away all that other stuff that we add,

1346
04:12:53.440 --> 04:13:05.079
you know, things like stress and worrying and overthink in anxiety, tension,

1347
04:13:09.319 --> 04:13:16.280
just generally thinking about stuff. You take that away, which

1348
04:13:16.360 --> 04:13:25.520
is what we do. What we do now, you're left

1349
04:13:25.680 --> 04:13:36.559
with a real sense of peacefulness which comes to you

1350
04:13:36.840 --> 04:13:50.799
very quickly, because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling,

1351
04:13:51.840 --> 04:13:59.120
a comfort, almost as if you've gone inside yourself and

1352
04:13:59.280 --> 04:14:13.719
you've found a special place where everything is peaceful, a

1353
04:14:13.879 --> 04:14:21.520
place where you can feel relaxed and your natural sense

1354
04:14:21.600 --> 04:14:32.479
of comfort, a place where you can be you, where

1355
04:14:32.520 --> 04:14:39.639
you can accept yourself for who you are, the place

1356
04:14:39.719 --> 04:14:49.920
where you're not trying to please anybody else ever, a

1357
04:14:50.040 --> 04:14:58.600
place where you can actually not just love yourself, but

1358
04:15:00.079 --> 04:15:07.319
in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself appreciate

1359
04:15:08.879 --> 04:15:23.959
who you are. That sense of gratitude is in the

1360
04:15:24.159 --> 04:15:34.879
air all around you, and that's also a place where

1361
04:15:35.079 --> 04:15:45.440
you can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.

1362
04:15:52.120 --> 04:16:03.479
Healing energy soaking into your body, and that healing energy

1363
04:16:03.840 --> 04:16:14.120
spreads through your veins, traveling to each and every single

1364
04:16:14.559 --> 04:16:24.959
part of your body, and you start to realize that

1365
04:16:25.280 --> 04:16:32.600
actually that healing energy it's not just entered into your brain,

1366
04:16:35.399 --> 04:16:44.920
it's become part of your brain, and the spinal fluid

1367
04:16:47.559 --> 04:16:58.319
is now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you

1368
04:16:58.600 --> 04:17:05.760
to feel so much much more relaxed and healthy in

1369
04:17:05.959 --> 04:17:17.159
this moment. But also you start to realize to actually,

1370
04:17:19.639 --> 04:17:28.600
what's happening now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through

1371
04:17:28.760 --> 04:17:41.600
your body, It's actually changing your life. It's actually changing

1372
04:17:41.680 --> 04:17:46.799
the way you're going to feel not just now, but

1373
04:17:46.959 --> 04:17:57.159
tomorrow and the next day. As your health improves, not

1374
04:17:57.440 --> 04:18:04.920
just your physical health, but your mental health. Things that

1375
04:18:05.360 --> 04:18:10.120
used to bother you in the past, for some reason,

1376
04:18:11.319 --> 04:18:18.840
no longer have the effect that they used to because

1377
04:18:19.000 --> 04:18:30.680
something has changed deep within you. Maybe things that used

1378
04:18:30.719 --> 04:18:41.159
to cause you to feel anger no longer have that

1379
04:18:42.079 --> 04:18:50.079
power to control you the way they seem to be

1380
04:18:50.159 --> 04:18:58.879
able to before. As you realize that you are the

1381
04:18:59.040 --> 04:19:12.280
one who decides what affects you, You're the one who

1382
04:19:12.440 --> 04:19:26.200
decides to feel relaxed and calm when you choose to

1383
04:19:26.520 --> 04:19:41.079
enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing continuing to grow

1384
04:19:43.920 --> 04:19:55.239
and improve your life day by day, including of course,

1385
04:19:55.319 --> 04:20:08.079
your ability to relax so much much easier and sleep in.

1386
04:20:12.680 --> 04:20:18.360
It's the most natural thing in the world to you,

1387
04:20:22.879 --> 04:20:30.040
because falling asleep is something that you've done so many

1388
04:20:30.200 --> 04:20:37.639
times in your life, and you know that you were

1389
04:20:37.760 --> 04:20:44.760
born as we all were with the ability to fall

1390
04:20:44.799 --> 04:20:58.000
asleep naturally. You were born with that ability to just

1391
04:20:58.520 --> 04:21:12.639
drift off into a deep, healing sleep. Even when we're kids,

1392
04:21:14.319 --> 04:21:17.159
sometimes we'll fall asleep when we don't even want to

1393
04:21:19.239 --> 04:21:24.360
try to stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in the morning,

1394
04:21:24.520 --> 04:21:28.799
or it's Christmas or holiday or something we look forward to.

1395
04:21:29.399 --> 04:21:33.440
We don't want to go to sleep. But the more

1396
04:21:34.040 --> 04:21:38.920
you want to stay awake, the more we just start

1397
04:21:39.000 --> 04:21:47.319
to drift. And the more you fight drifting, the more

1398
04:21:47.360 --> 04:21:49.920
you try to stop yourself and drift in a safe

1399
04:21:52.079 --> 04:22:03.120
the deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born

1400
04:22:04.120 --> 04:22:09.920
not just with the need to relax deeply and to

1401
04:22:10.120 --> 04:22:19.959
naturally fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of

1402
04:22:20.079 --> 04:22:30.719
our DNA. And sometimes as we get older in life,

1403
04:22:32.040 --> 04:22:45.600
perhaps at times we have forgotten that relaxing completely is

1404
04:22:45.719 --> 04:22:58.840
not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

1405
04:23:10.200 --> 04:23:17.680
It's very, very easy to let go, because that's all

1406
04:23:17.760 --> 04:23:18.040
it is.

1407
04:23:18.200 --> 04:23:18.680
It's just.

1408
04:23:22.200 --> 04:23:33.639
Deciding to let go. And when you press the play

1409
04:23:33.760 --> 04:23:44.000
button on my recordings, you have given permission for my

1410
04:23:44.239 --> 04:23:52.360
voice to relax you. When you press that play button,

1411
04:23:53.360 --> 04:24:01.760
you have given me permission for my words to effect

1412
04:24:04.280 --> 04:24:16.120
you in a positive, only a positive way, opening up

1413
04:24:21.319 --> 04:24:39.559
your mind too useful and healing suggestions that can have

1414
04:24:44.120 --> 04:24:51.559
such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,

1415
04:24:56.280 --> 04:25:06.120
as well as those changes that continue long after the

1416
04:25:06.280 --> 04:25:16.920
recording ends. Those changes within you to continue to flourish

1417
04:25:17.799 --> 04:25:32.360
and grow, transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way,

1418
04:25:35.440 --> 04:25:42.479
allowing you to move forward in your life in the

1419
04:25:42.639 --> 04:26:00.600
direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling, feeling

1420
04:26:00.920 --> 04:26:16.399
that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness, This feels

1421
04:26:16.520 --> 04:26:37.600
so nice. It's such a healthy place to be, and

1422
04:26:37.799 --> 04:26:55.559
that positivity grows within you each and every day. Moving forward,

1423
04:26:59.360 --> 04:27:10.879
you to find you're more relaxed physically and in your

1424
04:27:10.959 --> 04:27:21.040
mind is more relaxed. And it's not that you're thinking slower,

1425
04:27:23.319 --> 04:27:26.959
it's just that your mind would be less clogged up

1426
04:27:28.040 --> 04:27:41.360
with unnecessary negativity because from now on, your mind rejects negativity.

1427
04:27:45.360 --> 04:27:52.799
From now on, you're going to start noticing when negativity

1428
04:27:52.959 --> 04:28:07.360
arises and you can just say stop, stop, and that

1429
04:28:07.600 --> 04:28:26.559
negativity will turn around and leave you alone. Stop and

1430
04:28:26.719 --> 04:28:41.840
that negativity would disappear. And as you notice that, you

1431
04:28:43.200 --> 04:28:49.840
feel way more relaxed than you probably expected.

1432
04:28:56.000 --> 04:28:57.159
You can now.

1433
04:29:00.479 --> 04:29:06.360
Congratulate yourself because you're the person that has done this.

1434
04:29:08.120 --> 04:29:13.559
You are the one that has opened your mind up

1435
04:29:14.280 --> 04:29:22.440
to the simple facts. You can feel more relaxed in

1436
04:29:22.600 --> 04:29:32.559
your body and in your mind. You've opened your mind

1437
04:29:32.760 --> 04:29:40.600
up to the birthright of being able to just fall

1438
04:29:40.680 --> 04:29:55.239
asleep easily when you choose. And that's a nice feeling.

1439
04:29:56.840 --> 04:29:57.639
Don't you think.

1440
04:30:00.079 --> 04:30:08.920
It feels nice? Doesn't it? To feel calm? All that

1441
04:30:09.280 --> 04:30:13.879
healing energy is spreading through your body and your mind

1442
04:30:20.360 --> 04:30:31.200
to spend time a special place where negativity can no

1443
04:30:31.399 --> 04:30:44.479
longer enter. Negativity is banned. It's bad, it's not allowed.

1444
04:30:44.760 --> 04:30:51.000
Entrigue doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here.

1445
04:30:51.319 --> 04:31:00.440
It doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place in your life.

1446
04:31:10.440 --> 04:31:19.920
Which makes room feel more comfort, more heathing, more relaxation,

1447
04:31:24.799 --> 04:31:43.959
more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it?

1448
04:31:45.799 --> 04:31:50.000
Just let go.

1449
04:31:53.680 --> 04:32:12.319
Everything. I'm gonna count down now from twenty down to one.

1450
04:32:15.760 --> 04:32:22.280
He can continue to relax. If you choose, you can

1451
04:32:25.440 --> 04:32:35.920
drea to sleep. With every number you hear me say,

1452
04:32:40.239 --> 04:32:47.600
you can feel twice as relaxed, or if you choose,

1453
04:32:47.760 --> 04:33:47.680
you can fill twice as sleeping now twenty nineteen eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen,

1454
04:33:54.360 --> 04:35:03.119
fourteen teen to well eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six

1455
04:35:11.599 --> 04:35:53.880
five war. This is your time.

1456
04:35:56.400 --> 04:35:57.479
To just take a break.

1457
04:36:02.119 --> 04:36:13.159
You're trying to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,

1458
04:36:21.840 --> 04:36:35.919
to give yourself a permission to take a break from everything.

1459
04:36:40.639 --> 04:36:43.720
And you're the only person that can.

1460
04:36:43.799 --> 04:36:48.639
Make that decision. You're the only.

1461
04:36:48.599 --> 04:37:05.319
Person that can actually tell your mind just relax, to just.

1462
04:37:09.000 --> 04:37:10.240
Take some time.

1463
04:37:11.959 --> 04:37:23.799
Off so that you can focus on your body, getting

1464
04:37:24.200 --> 04:37:38.560
in touch with how you feel physically. And in the

1465
04:37:38.680 --> 04:37:46.799
process of this body scan, where you focus on different

1466
04:37:46.880 --> 04:37:56.720
parts of your body, those parts that you focus on

1467
04:37:57.439 --> 04:38:08.840
and observe. Even though you're not purposely requesting for those

1468
04:38:09.080 --> 04:38:11.439
parts of your body to relax.

1469
04:38:13.240 --> 04:38:14.639
It's kind of expected.

1470
04:38:16.240 --> 04:38:21.799
You expect when you listen to my voice to feel

1471
04:38:22.799 --> 04:38:36.520
more relaxed naturally, because when you're listening to me, your

1472
04:38:36.560 --> 04:38:48.840
attention is focused on my words, and as my words

1473
04:38:49.799 --> 04:38:59.919
