00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.360
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:15.800
Jason Newland hend and and and it's time for Trivia Tuesday.

3
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:24.440
And Vinnie going. It's a bit warm today, a little

4
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.879
bit hot, isn't it. N He went in a garden.

5
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:35.159
All he wanted to do was he wanted there's this

6
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:42.000
one of the neighbors has got a one of those

7
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.320
like disability buggy things, and it's kind of new to

8
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.039
the garden, so it has got a cover on it.

9
00:00:52.719 --> 00:01:01.799
And Vinnie is absolutely enthralled. He is, It's like wow,

10
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.319
it's like a new kind of playbox or something. And

11
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.719
he wants to go inside and he wants to see

12
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:15.400
what's underneath the cover and it's really it gets excited

13
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.480
and he just he's been out there every three times

14
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:20.319
in a row. I took him out there, and he's

15
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.640
tried to get in there, trying to get underneath the cover.

16
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.719
But it's too hot out there'd be too hot to

17
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.560
be spending time out there. I've got one window open,

18
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:43.920
so there might be background sounds, which just the way

19
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:48.000
it is. Unfortunately, I can he do too much about that.

20
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.079
Someone in a garden coffin. Not really much going on,

21
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:04.359
just drinking me water, keeping hydrated and all that good stuff.

22
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.599
So please only listen when you can safety close your eyes.

23
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.080
This is let me pull you to sleep. And Vinnie

24
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:20.800
is here by my side, by my side, just chilling out.

25
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:33.120
So what I'm going to do today is what am

26
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.919
I going to focus on? Vikings? That's a bit random,

27
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:45.759
isn't it? A little bit random vikings? So just to

28
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.919
let you know before I continue, I have been doing

29
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.159
a few hypnosis recordings lately which you might be interested in.

30
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.800
I did one yesterday for tenatous relief, a day before bruxism.

31
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:08.439
I did one for loopus, severe menstrual cramp, five bromyalgia

32
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.800
and dealing with noisy neighbors. I did one for grief,

33
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:26.479
and I did one for depression. So what's that one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

34
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.120
eight different subjects, as well as doing a one for

35
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:38.479
sleep as well. So I've been quite busy. I mean,

36
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:53.159
what's that twelfth, eleventh, tenth, ninth, eighth and okay, see, yeah,

37
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:54.840
I did quite a few in a in a row.

38
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.520
Just let you know they're available. I've also got a

39
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.800
Facebook group which is Jason Newland's Boring Group, which you

40
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:15.199
could join if you like h there are well, I

41
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:20.639
don't want that. What I'm doing the there's a link

42
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.759
on my website Jasonneuland dot com which will take you

43
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:33.240
directly to the group and that my DearS, my darlings,

44
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:43.680
my sweethearts made chut kaboody biddy. Is that's done right?

45
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.079
Someone asked me A few people have asked me if

46
00:04:50.160 --> 00:05:00.800
I would consider doing erotic hypnosis recordings. I don't know

47
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.319
what you think about that. Yeah, a few people have

48
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.800
actually contacted me over time saying that they don't necessarily

49
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.639
always listen to my recordings for relaxation or for sleep.

50
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:27.399
It's like, okay, anyway, Vikings, I'll be honest with you.

51
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.399
I kind of ruddered out of ideas well, not ideas,

52
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:38.480
and everyone have ideas, but just subjects for these Trivia Tuesday.

53
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:47.800
But Vikings is today. If you have any particular ideas

54
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:52.800
that I could do a Trivia Tuesday on a subject,

55
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.920
then you know, let me know. There is a contact

56
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:07.240
form on my website if you're right. So Vikings came

57
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.800
from Scandinavia. Oh, I just want to just say I

58
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.000
watched I think about three years ago, I watched the

59
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:20.920
Vikings TV show like. I loved it. Honestly, I watched

60
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.720
like every singular episode from the beginning to the end,

61
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.759
absolutely loved it. Now, like all TV shows, no matter

62
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.199
how good they are, they have a tendency I find

63
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:48.399
of stretching out a little bit, you know, really yeah,

64
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:54.959
starting to add a bit more filler. And this does

65
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.079
that a little bit near the end. But it's okay,

66
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:04.879
what dog in the background, That's fine. So I think

67
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.800
I learned quite a lot about the Vikings, but I

68
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:12.040
don't know how much of it was true. And I

69
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.920
think it was made on the History Channel or they

70
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.160
it was that was shown on the History Channel, So

71
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.120
I don't know how much true there is. And I

72
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:25.040
also do not know if these one hundred fascinating Viking

73
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:32.079
facts are indeed facts. So, you know, try not to

74
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.120
get into an argument with anyone, and never used the

75
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.079
words but Jason said, so that won't hold any gravy.

76
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:48.360
I'm afraid. So Vikings, I wouldn't even trust myself with

77
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.160
a fact. I don't even believe my I don't even

78
00:07:52.199 --> 00:08:01.480
believe myself. Now, Vikings came from Scandinavia modern day Denmark,

79
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:07.680
Norway and Sweden, So the Scandinavia not exists anymore then.

80
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.600
I know Denmark and Norway and Sweden do was all

81
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.920
just one place. See, I don't know these things. I

82
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:29.480
wasn't around then. In old Norse, Viking originally meant pirate,

83
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:38.399
raid or expedition. Now there was a TV show on Netflix,

84
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.840
probably still on there, which makes fun of the Vikings,

85
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:58.679
and we see funny Viking show Okay Norsemen, Certain Norsemen,

86
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:07.120
nrs EM and on Netflix three seasons. I know comedy

87
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.559
obviously is we've got our own idea what we like.

88
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.120
But I found it very funny. However, at the same time,

89
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:23.840
there's parts of it that are really horrible because they

90
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:29.399
still try to stick to the to the real mythology

91
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:38.799
of the Viking's lifestyle and behavior. But the dialogue is

92
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.279
very funny. So it's worth watching if you like funny things,

93
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.080
and maybe if you've not seen because this is something

94
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:55.279
my friend Luke we didn't really have the same sense

95
00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:00.440
of comedy when it came to watching TV shows. I'm

96
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:04.159
quite a bit more wider, I like to I'm a

97
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:08.360
bit more wider. That's that sounds weird. Yeah, I like

98
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.960
all kinds of comedy. He was very much more into

99
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:16.960
British comedy. What didn't really like American sitcoms. I've never

100
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.480
understood that way of thinking, but you know, it's just

101
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:25.120
how he was. So, which is fine. I like all

102
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:32.600
kinds of comedy, so I like some stuff that he liked.

103
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.960
But I said to him, you like this, this Viking,

104
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.759
this Norseman, and I got it up. He was sitting

105
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.480
there with me, and I got it up on the TV.

106
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:49.399
This is like five years ago, four years ago, and easy.

107
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.000
I said, it looks like a parlor crap to me.

108
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.919
That's what he said, Like, now I'm watching that. I said,

109
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.000
it's not American. He said, why have you got the

110
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.279
idea that I don't like American comedy? I said, because

111
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.919
you don't seem to like anything that's American. He said, well,

112
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.639
I'd like only fools and horses. I said, yeah, which

113
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.399
is not American. He said yeah. I didn't say it

114
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.759
was really used to try and wine me up, and

115
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:24.759
I just said, like, okay, well just watch it, just

116
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.080
have it. Well. I showed them a little bit at

117
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:31.320
the very beginning. It's a really funny bit. Even if

118
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.159
it was just a sketch in a comedy show, it's

119
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.799
funny because of the dialogue. I mean, I find it

120
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.559
funny because of the dialogue, because it's just absurd and

121
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:52.919
I love absurdity, and also almost introducing reality to a situation,

122
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.440
which makes it kind of takes the blinkers off a bit, like,

123
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.480
look at what we're doing. This is ridiculous. This is

124
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:09.200
really really silly. So and he smiled, but he said, nah,

125
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.440
I can't bother with that. I didn't see him for

126
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.759
the weekend. It watched the whole two serieses of it

127
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:21.159
over the weekend. He loved it, absolutely loved it, and

128
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.279
he kept watching it back like over the years he

129
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.759
was watching it. He absolutely loved it because it was

130
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:32.080
it was funny, really, and he introduced all his friends

131
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:33.440
to it, and none of them wanted to watch it

132
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:41.279
is it's weird. It's like trying to get someone to

133
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.879
like something that I like. I don't know why I

134
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.759
even bother, really, because we all like our own things,

135
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:53.039
don't we. However, I do. I don't want someone to

136
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:55.399
tell me, oh, you've got to watch this, you'd watch

137
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.360
this because this is brilliant. I don't mind people doing that,

138
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.799
But in fact, I quite like that because I'm always

139
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.840
looking for something new to sort of get addicted to

140
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:11.039
when it comes to TV or movies and stuff. A

141
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.240
TV show, you know something I can really get my

142
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:19.399
teeth into and watch every single episode of all ten

143
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:23.480
seasons or whatever. That to me, that gives me a

144
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:28.120
lot of happiness, which is very strange, I think, but

145
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.639
I get more from that than from being around people.

146
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.960
It's almost like I've got something to look forward to.

147
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:44.679
I get really into it. So he this is not funny.

148
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.600
I was laughing for the sake of it. Hey, we

149
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.639
should laugh laugh more. Come on, I had a girlfriend once.

150
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.720
It's true. It's hard to believe I did. This is

151
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.799
ten twenty years ago, and I was making a laugh.

152
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:09.679
I'm quite quite funny, boyfriend, I would say, probably you're not.

153
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:14.399
You might not wake up the next morning feeling physically

154
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:19.480
and emotionally satisfied, but I will make you laugh. Okay,

155
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:23.120
you won't be feel fulfilled, but I will make you'll

156
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.879
have a giggle, even if it's just me taking off

157
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:37.240
my shirt or whatever, my gloves my Then he started

158
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:44.240
to notice all the screaming out of the back. It

159
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:51.600
sounds to me, which I hope it is, to be fair,

160
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.759
it sounds like there's like kids having a party, probably

161
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.480
in the garden over the over the road or whatever,

162
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.519
and they're all like jumping into swimming pools and stuff

163
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.440
like you know, paddling Paul, and they're having a great time.

164
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.639
I hope that's why they're screaming, because sometimes it puts

165
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.679
me on guard a little bit, like are they okay?

166
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.960
So I'm hoping that's the reason, because you know, that's

167
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:20.519
the thing. I try not to moan about hearing kids

168
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.600
screaming being noisy, because I was the same. I was

169
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.600
a kid once, believe it or not, and I had

170
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:32.360
four bro by three brothers, so we made a lot

171
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:37.360
of noise in that garden and I probably screamed a

172
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:44.360
lot as well. I still do sometimes, especially there's a

173
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:50.600
dog in the in the park called Minnie, and she's

174
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.360
off the lead and she always runs up to me

175
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.080
because she gets excited because I give her treats, so

176
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:56.879
she runs up to me. But she does it from

177
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.559
behind quite often, and I scream because just to me jump.

178
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:07.919
The other day, actually, I came out of my front

179
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.639
door because I was going to meet someone and they

180
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.039
were already there, honestly, like, ah.

181
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:16.639
What are you doing?

182
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.879
And I said to me long you've been standing there,

183
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:25.960
because he phoned me up and then I went, you know,

184
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.919
I said, I'm on my way. I said, okay, I

185
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.200
was going to meet him downstairs, and he said, no,

186
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.639
I've just got it. And I thought, you're lying to me,

187
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.440
You've just been standing there the whole time. But actually

188
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.879
I looked on the camera and he literally just got

189
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:48.759
to the front door as I opened it. Weird, I

190
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.000
tell you what's stranger, which has got probably not so

191
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:56.080
much to do with Vikings as you'd think. But I

192
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.639
used to live in before when I was at college.

193
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:03.799
There was this Yeah, I lived in this bungle. It

194
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.759
was actually wasn't a bungle. I was a cottage and

195
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.640
I lived downstairs in the kind of I guess it

196
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.680
was some kind of extension that I lived in. But

197
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:19.920
I lived in one of the rooms. And I moved

198
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:25.279
in November two thousand and seven, and I moved out

199
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:30.160
January two thy eleven. So I was there for over

200
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.599
three years. Yeah, isn't it eight nine? So I was

201
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.680
over over three years. I was there, No, was it

202
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:43.279
January or was it January February March maybe April March

203
00:17:43.319 --> 00:18:06.960
April time twenty eleven, And I was gonna say, distracted

204
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.480
by the sounds outside. Yes, I was there for three years.

205
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:16.799
Over three years, I mean what November December January thirymine,

206
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.880
So two and a quarter three and a quarty years

207
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:25.799
is quite a long time. And the daughter that lived there,

208
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:32.119
and she was blimey, probably thirty because I was what

209
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:37.240
forty forty by tom I moved out, so she was

210
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.000
probably about thirty, So I was like twenty seven thirty

211
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.279
when I was thirty seven thirty eight thirty nine forty.

212
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.559
And the amount of times that i'd walk in from

213
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.880
the back that's where the where my room was in

214
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.599
the bathroom, and i'd walk into the kitchen because I

215
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.480
shared the kitchen with them, I'd walk in and she'd jump,

216
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:01.799
or she'd walk into the room and i'd have my

217
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:06.359
back tour just using the microwave or whatever, and she'd jump,

218
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:12.160
but she like sort of scream, not screaming scream, but like, ah,

219
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:16.000
it made me jump. I said, I've lived there for

220
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:19.960
forty five years. Get used to me, man, Okay, I

221
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.680
didn't say that, but I did say, look, I've lived

222
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.440
there for years now, like two and a half years.

223
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:28.319
Why are you still jumping when you see me? Said,

224
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:32.480
because you're naked. Now. She didn't say that, but she

225
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:44.920
did constantly like jump. I don't know why, considering they

226
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:50.880
had lodgers. I think for decades on and off, that

227
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.039
was a little way of them making getting a little

228
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.400
bit of money coming in. They had two rooms, and

229
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:59.440
they only rented out to students generally, so I had

230
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:04.200
that extra income coming in, which I imagine really helped

231
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.680
quite a bit actually over the years, because what was

232
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.119
I paying sixty five pounds a week? So it's one

233
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:16.160
hundred and six one hundred and thirty pounds a week

234
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:25.839
between the two rooms. So yeah, that's that's like sixty

235
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:33.119
grand over ten year period, or you know, it's probably

236
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:38.880
paid for, paid for holidays and stuff. I don't know.

237
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.119
None of my business isn't really way keep bath, do

238
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:47.720
I stop pass? I'm playing my belly button. I shouldn't

239
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:51.200
really tell you that, but I don't know why. I'm

240
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:53.240
just amazed at some of the things I'd find down there.

241
00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:04.680
So but check that TV show out Norseman if you

242
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:09.200
want to, or let me know if there's any really

243
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:17.440
really good, like really good TV shows which have now

244
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.880
completed that I can watch from start to finish. I've

245
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.920
watched a lot, but I'm kind of in that midway

246
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.960
now of like, well, I don't know what to watch next.

247
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:34.880
And the last thing I really got into, I really

248
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:42.599
got into was Silo, and there was only two series

249
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:44.640
of that. I don't know if they're going to do

250
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:50.480
another one, but I really got into that, and yeah,

251
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.960
absolutely loved that show. I would have been much happier

252
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:58.359
if there'd been six or eight series, so I could

253
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:02.680
have watched the whole you know, from the start to finish.

254
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:15.759
But it's okay. Apparently here it says they didn't usually

255
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:25.079
call themselves Vikings. They identified by their homeland or clan. Okay,

256
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:41.519
because Norse, I suppose because it was Denmark Norway. Norse

257
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.839
is is Norway Norse? Are you? Are you in Norse

258
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:50.759
if you live in Norway or if you're born in Norway? Huh?

259
00:22:53.200 --> 00:23:02.039
So Vikings Viking may also relate to fidge or vic,

260
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:08.039
meaning bay or creek where ships anchored. I that's boring.

261
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:15.119
Viking society included influences from Slavic and other neighboring cultures.

262
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:26.720
I get the impression that unlike the Romans, who seemed

263
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:33.720
to just pretty much take over where they went. The

264
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:40.559
Vikings would just visit temporarily, not all the time, but

265
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:44.440
they just they'd be they'd take what they wanted and

266
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:46.920
maybe stick around for a while and learn some new

267
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:51.240
stuff and you know, introduce it to their own kind

268
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.720
of way of life. And I'm talking about that without

269
00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:02.000
any knowledge or whatsoever about anything. Ships were clink built,

270
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:10.759
clinker built planks overlapped for flexibility and strength. Does anyone

271
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.720
know what the word clinker built means, because I don't.

272
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:30.559
Long ships had shallow drafts, allowing beach landings and river travel. Anyone, No, Okay,

273
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.200
nur cargo. Ships could carry up to twenty four tons.

274
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:42.119
This is very I know it's trivia, but this this

275
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:54.839
seems to me like very factual. I'm getting bored reading

276
00:24:54.920 --> 00:25:01.440
it out. So here we go. Large long ships could

277
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:07.200
carry sixty or more warriors. Ships ship types including Skeeds

278
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:20.000
andaz neck as snickers snickers for warfare. Famous finds include

279
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:31.000
Gokstad and Osburgh ships. Dragonheads on ship prows were meant

280
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:37.839
to intimidate enemies and ships with status symbols as much

281
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:45.720
as a tool of war or trade. This none of

282
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:49.680
this is funny. I wanted some funny stuff. Maybe there's

283
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:54.079
nothing funny about. Let's see if I've got any other

284
00:25:54.119 --> 00:26:04.200
stuff at other look. Viking may also derive from a

285
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:10.039
term meaning sea mile or work related to ships. Okay,

286
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:25.240
I want to change this right, Okay, well the internet

287
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:28.119
doesn't anything like that. I said, find me some funny stuff,

288
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:55.519
and it's not fair enough funny facts, right, Okay, Viking,

289
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:58.519
this is what I want. These are ten funny and

290
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:01.240
odd Viking facts. This is what I want, and I

291
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:05.920
want to know about women could own property and divorce

292
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:11.880
their husbands. So that's the vikings that wasn't even allowed

293
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:16.920
in this country till about fifty years ago. That's crazy,

294
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:20.240
isn't it? Just how slow we are. I mean, some

295
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:23.680
Viking women traveled on raids or trades, they do have that.

296
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:29.200
On the show, it seemed to be that there was

297
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.079
two types of vikings. Just this is going to be

298
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.799
me basing on why. I remember there was the farmers

299
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:43.759
and the warriors. So the ones that had a farm,

300
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:49.880
and that seemed to be the way to if you

301
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:52.960
did really well, you'd get given a bit of land

302
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:58.039
and you could you know, you could have a farm

303
00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:02.640
there and higher doing that, or maybe you'd be born

304
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.720
into farming, and that's what you'd do. Children learned farming.

305
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:17.599
Adoption was a common practice to strengthen alliances. I'm sure

306
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:24.640
that they you should adopt from another other tribes or

307
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:29.359
other people, so to sort of almost like marrying in

308
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:38.079
to the you know, like France, the king of France

309
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:44.519
marrying a princess of Germany or something like that. That

310
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.039
kind of things that used to go on. I think

311
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:48.680
it was a little bit like that, so it kind

312
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:53.720
of kept the peace between them, so they would perhaps adopt.

313
00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:06.519
Wealth was measured in livestock as well as silver. Jewelry

314
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:11.200
often served as currency, and they told epic poems to

315
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:14.559
preserve history, which is why so much of it is

316
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:20.960
probably lies made up. I love the way, do you know?

317
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:30.559
So many of the most classed as the most important

318
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:42.359
books and stuff in human society were from like thousands

319
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:45.640
of years ago. And the books weren't written thousands of

320
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:50.720
years ago. There were passed down verbally for thousands of years,

321
00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:02.839
and people take it as verbatim that it's correct. Yeah.

322
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.160
If you put twelve people in a circle and whisper

323
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.799
to each other something as they pass it on, you'll

324
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:16.200
get a different message at the end of it. You know,

325
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:19.000
it's a paragraph. Let's say, you know, not just like

326
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:28.039
booby or hazel nuts. You know, it's it's you know

327
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:30.119
that you could probably remember that. But if it was

328
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:38.160
like an actual he had greener hair, and he came

329
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:43.640
down from the mountain and he said everyone must now

330
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:53.839
have green hair in order to be reborn as a

331
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:58.799
fresh goblin. I don't know, something you know magical like that,

332
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:04.599
And you just passed that on whether it's twelve I mean,

333
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:11.960
you think, okay, one person, there's twelve people. One person

334
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:17.319
equals what one hundred years in in you know, one

335
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:23.119
hundred years or one generation of person passing it down

336
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:26.599
to the next generation. How many generations would there beef

337
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:29.359
in two and a half thousand years? Quite a few.

338
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:34.640
It's going to be something different. You're going to get

339
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:38.920
a different story at the end of it. Hopefully maybe

340
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.519
you'll get the same meaning of the story. I don't know.

341
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:54.160
But things weren't written down. There wasn't anywhere they're taking notes,

342
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:57.599
like can you start Wait a minute, what did you

343
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:02.000
just say? Could you say again? You're speaking too quick?

344
00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:08.200
It wasn't were a typewriter. That'd be annoying, wouldn't it

345
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:19.039
typewriters were so loud. The Viking Age ended around a

346
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:28.920
ten to sixty six, marked by the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Kid, doak,

347
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.319
all right, let's go back. Let's go and find some

348
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:38.440
So Vikings bleached their beards green. Of course, I don't

349
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:40.799
know if it's green not for fashion week, but to

350
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:59.400
kill lice. Oh, all right, so they I suppose bleach

351
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:03.839
is a bleacher disinfectant. I don't know. They used to

352
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:13.680
name their swords. Okay, that's that makes sense, That isn't it,

353
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:21.200
camire pee wee, kamire pee wee. I suppose what kind

354
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:25.359
of sword it is? I suppose EXCaliber. I don't understood

355
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:28.000
why they named it EXCaliber, because I found that a

356
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.079
difficult word to say when I was a kid, and

357
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:36.079
I realized the book, you know, the story of King

358
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:41.799
whatever his name was, wasn't written just for me, King Charles.

359
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:46.839
But come on, EXCaliber. It was a real mouthful. I

360
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:50.799
can say it now. Perhaps I've always been able to

361
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:54.839
say it. Maybe that wasn't the word I was thinking of. Thesaurus,

362
00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:04.559
the sort, what that's a hard word, the theft, all

363
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:14.199
the it's a weird word. I don't know. Dick Sheery

364
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:17.559
that's that's where do they come up with these words

365
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:26.400
goat powered alarm systems. Farms, some tied sometimes tied goats

366
00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:30.039
near their house so that if raiders came at night,

367
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:36.159
the goats would panic and bleat, effectively making them viking

368
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.760
burglar alarms. Which is true, isn't it? Isn't that what

369
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:50.000
people do when they're camping in a place where there's bears?

370
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.639
Why would you? But hope some people would go camping

371
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:57.880
in a place where there's wild bears roaming around? Why

372
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:01.960
would you? I repeat again? And they put like bells

373
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:09.519
and tins and stuff around the around the tent as

374
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:11.480
if hearing it coming is going to help you in

375
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:19.039
some way. I mean, why one more time? Why? Why

376
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.719
would you? That's one of the good things about living

377
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:30.519
in this country is we don't have bears. We don't

378
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:38.039
have lions other than in the zoo. We don't have

379
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:43.119
that stuff in the wild. I mean we do. I

380
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:47.039
suppose there are there are wildcats that are probably well

381
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:51.719
that are a big bigger than the average. And I

382
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:54.440
think it was parts of Scotland. Was it Wales? I

383
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:59.000
think it was Scotland where the government were intending to

384
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:08.119
reintroduce wolves. Okay, I didn't really understand. I mean, that's

385
00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:13.119
that's like, let's introduce poisonous snakes as well. What's why?

386
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:21.320
I mean, this is a relatively safe country when it

387
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:25.639
comes to wildlife. I think the only the only animals

388
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:28.159
really got to beig care a little bit careful of, well,

389
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:33.239
probably a lot careful of is cattle, because they can

390
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:35.760
be you know, if you're going through a field and

391
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:40.199
there's a cow or bull or even a horse, and

392
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:45.480
horses and cattle, but you know, if they decide they

393
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:50.280
take a dislike to you being in there, in their home,

394
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:56.320
in their place, then you know it's not not a

395
00:36:56.519 --> 00:37:01.320
great place, your situation for you to be in. I

396
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:09.119
think I got chased by a ball once. I can't remember. Yeah,

397
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:10.960
I think I was a little bit too fast through

398
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:13.480
it though, and I was very close. I kind of

399
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:17.039
climbed over the fence and I saw it and I

400
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:20.159
claimed back. I claimed back, claimed, I climbed back over

401
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:24.519
the fence again, and I'm not sure how fast I

402
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:26.480
could move these days, but I was only a kid.

403
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:30.559
And I went home and told everyone that I just

404
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.480
won against a ball, and they came and saw it.

405
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:38.400
Everyone was like excited, to see this ball that I

406
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:44.719
defeated and turned out as a rabbit. But it doesn't matter,

407
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:52.920
you know, still one. They used a poop based insult. No,

408
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:58.920
I can't stand that kind of insulting people using poop

409
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:08.039
based stuff. So in sagas, calling someone annoyingly cowardly was bad,

410
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:20.039
but skit skit cast literally meaning throwing poop was worse. Yes,

411
00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:24.800
poof flinging was both a really a reality and an insult.

412
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:31.079
They used to chuck pooh. Who's pooh? There? Pooh? Did

413
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:33.880
they have it already in a bag? Walk around the

414
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:39.760
bags of pooh? That's weird. God, they must have stunk.

415
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:51.519
They had a game called natsuk and the rules are unclear,

416
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:55.760
but shoving, tackling, and accidentally bone breaking were apparently part

417
00:38:55.800 --> 00:39:02.840
of the part of it. Basically Viking rugby rugby without

418
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:10.880
a ball what so basically a fight really, And they

419
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:18.719
loved combs about any Vikings. Archaeologists keep finding combs in

420
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:29.239
Viking graves, suggesting that grooming was serious business. So I

421
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.000
suppose I mean I had long hair. I used to

422
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:36.480
have long hair. A comb was almost impossible for me

423
00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:39.159
to put through it. I used a brush, but putting

424
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:42.079
a comb through my hair was very because I had

425
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:47.920
such curly hair. If they had fine hair, although I

426
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:49.880
suppose when the hair is wet it's easier for the

427
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:54.719
comb to go through, But quite often what I'd have

428
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:58.239
to do is I'd have to crunch up my hair

429
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:03.880
and put that comb through the end, you know, so

430
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:08.079
that it didn't pull on the roots and it didn't hurt.

431
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:21.039
One saga tells of a berserker berserker deserter or berserker

432
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:28.679
berserker biting his own shield, supposedly to psych himself up.

433
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:34.719
I don't know. I mean, the shields are probably made

434
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:38.320
of wood, weren't they not metal. I'll tell you what

435
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:42.760
I noticed when I was at school now, oh yeah,

436
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:44.840
when I was a kid, went into some of these

437
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:52.840
places to see Vikings, the Normans, the Romans, the various

438
00:40:52.960 --> 00:41:01.360
different people that basically raided and invaded my country over history.

439
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:04.360
Lots and lots of places, lots and lots of people.

440
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:08.039
And I actually live in a Roman, a Roman town.

441
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:11.639
This was this used to be the capital of the country.

442
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:17.039
This town, well, this is now a city. But there's

443
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:23.320
no difference when they I get the words out in

444
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:29.039
a minute. When the government decide a town is a city.

445
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:37.360
Do you know what happens? Nothing, Nothing happens nothing at all.

446
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:47.599
It makes no difference. I don't know if they do

447
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:51.440
it based on the amount of people that live there.

448
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:57.400
But there's a big difference between cities in this country.

449
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:05.360
So there's one big city in the hole of this country,

450
00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:10.800
and that's London. There's lots of other cities, but that's

451
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:16.360
you know, no other city has what London has. I'm

452
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:18.840
not saying it's better than anywhere else because obviously it's not.

453
00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:22.599
Because I know for a fact that so many of

454
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:24.880
my listeners are from other parts of the country. So

455
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:29.519
and I love you and live is so much. Especially

456
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:31.760
in fact, I'm going to do this. I'm just going

457
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:36.519
to have a quick stat statistic break. Okay you might think,

458
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:41.960
oh it, don't worry about it, stop moaning. Right, look

459
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:48.360
at this right geolocation, United Kingdom. Just the last thirty

460
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:56.199
days Newcastle upon Tyne five hundred and fifty four downloads

461
00:42:56.559 --> 00:42:59.880
just in the last thirty days from Newcastle upon Tyne

462
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:03.400
five hundred and forty seven, in Bristol one hundred and

463
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:09.800
eighty six in Birmingham, London eighty two. So you know,

464
00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:14.679
I'm definitely not sort of like all London so great,

465
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:17.440
even though I did live there for twelve years when

466
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:20.840
I was born there. But I'm not saying that because

467
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:28.679
Bristol is also a city, as is Birmingham, as is Leeds,

468
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:37.440
as is Nottingham, as is Hull, I think, And where

469
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:40.119
else have we got a city?

470
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:45.320
For some reason?

471
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:48.440
Manchester's not on here. No one in Manchester likes me.

472
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:53.559
I'm upset about that. Just love me. I just want

473
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:59.119
to be loved. Can you love me? Manchester? No one

474
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:05.719
in Manchester listens to my recordings according to this, that's weird.

475
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:10.599
Southampton that's a city as well. I think Chester. I

476
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:15.360
think that's a city. Chiswick, Bolton. Bolton's a city, isn't it.

477
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:20.199
Actually I've got people in London. It's just different parts

478
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:27.559
of London, so Hackney, Greenwich, Newham, Camden, so there's quite

479
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:30.079
a few parts of London that people are listening to me.

480
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:34.840
Wembley that's one of my biggest Yeah, So it's just

481
00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:37.280
I don't know why it's got London on its own.

482
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:41.280
I guess that must be the city of London. Maybe

483
00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:47.880
I don't know. Scotland my biggest place listener is Glasgow,

484
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:55.840
so who in Newcastle, listens to me, Send me some messages.

485
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:59.119
Come on, give me some messages, some comments. You don't

486
00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:01.280
have to post them on We don't have to do anything,

487
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:05.159
but you can post them on my website if you want.

488
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:10.400
Just send me a contact message and just say who

489
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:17.480

was Florida. That just shows how ignorant I am, doesn't it.

520
00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:24.199
My ignorance astonishes me. I don't know what to do

Yay.

557
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:25.320
I just find it interesting where people are from. What

558
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:28.039
other countries. Should just go to a different country. Now

559
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:32.480
let's go to So the United States, I get the

560
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:42.119
most listens. Then United Kingdom, Then Australia, so Victoria, Victoria

561
00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:49.440
is Melbourne, I get the most in Victoria, New South Wales. Sydney,

562
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:56.559
also got Central Coast, Albury, etc. Queensland. I got Brisbane,

563
00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:02.440
which is the most place people listens. You've got Rosalie, Plain,

564
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:10.000
the Sunshine Coast, Sad Australia, Adelaide, that's the most. There

565
00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:20.920
in Tasmania is Hobart and Launcetonton, Launston and then Western Australia.

566
00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:27.239
Perth is the main one. Okay. Cool. So after that

567
00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:35.000
we've got Canada, Ontario, so Toronto. If you're in Canada,

568
00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:37.840
give me a shout out, maybe send me a message.

569
00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:43.480
That's yeah, that's the most listened place. It's in Toronto.

570
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:51.960
Then you've got Hamilton, Pickering, Saint Thomas, Baden, Niagara Falls.

571
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:55.679
I thought Niagara Falls that's loud, wasn't it. I thought

572
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:59.599
Niagara Falls as in America? Is this a genuine question?

573
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:05.079
Does Niagara Falls kind of meet with America? Is that

574
00:54:05.239 --> 00:54:08.840
kind of where you just you can walk through and

575
00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:11.239
go to Niagara Falls, but it's part of America and

576
00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:14.119
part of Canada. It's kind of like always in a

577
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:18.239
completely different place. And the reason I asked that is

578
00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:23.880
because my only real experience of Niagara Falls.

579
00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:25.840
Was the.

580
00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:30.320
Superman movie. I don't know if it was the first

581
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:31.800
one or the second one. I think it was the

582
00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:37.800
first one, the very first Superman movie and with Christopher

583
00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:44.400
Eve yeah and the and yeah, So they were at

584
00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:50.800
Niagara Falls. Now. I just assumed that at the time,

585
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:54.440
because you know, it's only a youngster at the time,

586
00:54:55.320 --> 00:54:58.960
I assumed it was in America, And then just now

587
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:04.920
I realized i've and I was in Canada. I don't know,

588
00:55:05.039 --> 00:55:07.079
I didn't. I'm not saying I've always thought it was

589
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:11.719
in America, but I did. I kind of knew where

590
00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:14.119
it was now, But I just wonder if it's kind

591
00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:22.400
of on the threshold, because like in Scotland, it's so

592
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:26.599
you've got whales and you've got other parts. So I'll

593
00:55:26.639 --> 00:55:29.400
give you an example or an If I done all

594
00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:36.159
the I just go British Columbia, Campbell River, Okay, I

595
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:40.199
know quite a few others. Alberta, Calgary. So if you're

596
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:46.400
in Alberta anywhere, Quebec, Wow, Montreal, I've got people listening

597
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:50.920
in Montreal. Hey. Loads of place honestly, hundreds and hundreds

598
00:55:50.960 --> 00:55:53.920
and hundreds of different places where people are listening to me.

599
00:55:54.000 --> 00:56:05.039
From Winnipeggy, Winnipeg, New Brunswick, ed Minston, sas get Chill Sets,

600
00:56:06.320 --> 00:56:11.360
sas gat Chew one. Wasn't there a place called set

601
00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:18.119
Sketcher one in America? I'm thinking there was. I really

602
00:56:18.199 --> 00:56:23.719
am thinking there was. So I'm thinking, oh, okay, that's confusing.

603
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:34.800
New Brunswick, Edmondston, Saint John, Okay, sech Squtch. See, that's confusing, right,

604
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:45.360
it's a New Brunswick. So let's let's sketch Okay, right? Yeah?

605
00:56:47.239 --> 00:57:00.239
Where did I see set Scratchean, Quebec, No, Winnipeg, are

606
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:06.440
getting confused now? So in yeah, in Scotland, there's a

607
00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:11.360
part known Wales. Sorry, there's a part which is kind

608
00:57:11.440 --> 00:57:17.239
of English and Wales. There's like places that are just

609
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:22.519
kind of on the border because because we were tiny

610
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:25.159
in this country. We were a tiny little country, tiny

611
00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:29.519
little island. Can't call ourself a country coming. But England's

612
00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:33.679
a country, Scotland's a country, Wales is the country, Northern

613
00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:40.360
Ireland and quite a few other islands and stuff all

614
00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:45.960
part of the UK. So but we're a little island.

615
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:56.320
And so the border is almost invisible between Scotland and Wales,

616
00:57:56.679 --> 00:57:59.800
or Scotland and England and then England and Wales. It's

617
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:03.679
it's I mean, borders were invisible, weren't they really generally

618
00:58:04.679 --> 00:58:07.960
unless you've got a big war, we're going to build

619
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:13.239
a big wall, unless you've got a big war. It's yeah,

620
00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:23.760
strange what we're doing. Okay, So that's I mean. Also,

621
00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:28.599
it's not just there. I've got Canada. I've got Malta, Ireland,

622
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:33.280
Malta as the one, two, three fourth. Malta is my

623
00:58:33.840 --> 00:58:39.760

00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:31.639
like I guess, I mean literally Paris. There there's so

629
00:59:31.880 --> 00:59:36.159
many people. I'm not saying this to Bragg, although I'm

630
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:39.440
quite pleasing myself today for some reason. And if nothing else,

631
00:59:39.480 --> 00:59:43.159
I've got quite my I've emptied most of my belly

632
00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:47.440
button during this. We called it. That's just wrong. I haven't.

633
00:59:48.079 --> 00:59:54.280
I've left some in there. Stockholm County, Sweden, so I

634
00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:57.239

you for listening. Thank you to everyone for listening. New

638
01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:22.199
Zealand used to be like fourth on the list. It

639
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:25.400
used to be. I'm sort of over the years. I

640
01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:27.960
mean I'm doing this nearly twenty years now, but over

641
01:00:28.320 --> 01:00:32.880
it used to be kind of. America's always been at

642
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:35.840
the top. They've always been the most because it's I mean,

643
01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:42.239
it's a much bigger country, especially English speaking country, out

644
01:00:42.239 --> 01:00:45.559
of everywhere else, Like as far as population goes, I

645
01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:49.679
know Canada is a bigger country, but population wise, America's

646
01:00:49.719 --> 01:00:54.480
got what three sixty three hundred and sixty million. We've

647
01:00:54.519 --> 01:00:58.000
got about seventy odd million here. Canada's got a thing

648
01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:01.920
about forty million. I might be wrong on that one,

649
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:16.400
but it's Australia probably what sixty million? New Zealand I guess.

650
01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:20.360
I don't know how many people in New Zealand, But

651
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:24.840
New Zealand used to be like fourth because it was

652
01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:28.360
predominantly English speaking countries that would be listening to me

653
01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:31.960
or watching me on YouTube. But I think it's really

654
01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:38.400
groovy that people from other countries are actually learning English

655
01:01:38.559 --> 01:01:45.440
so they can listen to me. So that's devotion that

656
01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:49.880
people from all over the world have learned a completely

657
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:55.079
different language just so they could listen to me. That's amazing,

658
01:01:56.360 --> 01:02:04.079
isn't it. Oh dear, do you fit anyone actually believes that?

659
01:02:04.199 --> 01:02:09.440
I believe that, but that I really I do appreciate

660
01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:14.159
everyone who listens. Genuinely. I got bored at the Viking stuff.

661
01:02:14.199 --> 01:02:17.280
I'm sorry it was there wasn't a lot coming up

662
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:26.920
with that. Dubai or United Arab Emirates, So so you've

663
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:32.679
got Dubai. So if you're in Dubai, Hello, Hi, Abu Dhabi.

664
01:02:32.840 --> 01:02:35.599
I'd like to come visit Dubai. I have actually visited once,

665
01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:38.760
but only got as far as the airport because it

666
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:44.719
was a stopover. I mean, legally I wasn't allowed out

667
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:47.119
of the airport, so I wasn't going to be getting out.

668
01:02:47.159 --> 01:02:52.360
But it's I don't think. I don't know. If you

669
01:02:52.440 --> 01:02:54.840
get to a stopover at an airport, Let's say you're

670
01:02:54.880 --> 01:03:00.320
on the way to Thailand from England and you're stop

671
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:05.039
over and you stop off at Sweden, for example, or Dubai,

672
01:03:06.800 --> 01:03:11.559
if you ask permission and say I've decided to I

673
01:03:11.679 --> 01:03:13.800
want to stay here for a bit and get in

674
01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:18.880
a hotel, and I want to sort of perhaps travel

675
01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:23.000
around Sweden and because I've heard that it's an amazing place,

676
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:27.840
or I want to stop and hang around in Dubai

677
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:33.920
and meet the amazing people there. Whatever, would they allow it?

678
01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:42.599
I don't know. I suppose it depends upon visas, doesn't it.

679
01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:49.920
I wonder if anyone's ever done that. I wonder if

680
01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:53.719
you could just walk out, because if you didn't have

681
01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:57.440
any if all you had was your hand luggage, which

682
01:03:57.480 --> 01:03:59.440
is what I do. I don't take luggage on it

683
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:02.400
on a plane, I just take my hand luggage. So

684
01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:07.239
if you've all only got your hand luggage. Then I

685
01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:09.599
wonder if you could just leave the airport.

686
01:04:11.800 --> 01:04:12.159
And just.

687
01:04:14.440 --> 01:04:16.559
I don't know, just go go and have a look

688
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:21.920
around that way. Because on the way back from Thailand,

689
01:04:22.079 --> 01:04:28.960
like many years back, the stopover coming back was Sweden. Yeah,

690
01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:34.760
what's Sweden? And it's really I've never seen so many

691
01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:39.039
blonde people before. It was really weird. It's like just

692
01:04:40.559 --> 01:04:45.039
we have blonde people in England, but they don't normally congregate.

693
01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:52.320
We keep them apart. No, we don't. It was just weird,

694
01:04:52.400 --> 01:04:55.199
Like every single person that worked in that I saw

695
01:04:55.239 --> 01:04:58.920
in the airport, very small airport. There were the bit

696
01:04:58.960 --> 01:05:05.239
that I was in all blonde. It was like, wow,

697
01:05:07.559 --> 01:05:10.760
So I haven't I'm not sure if I've really met

698
01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:15.280
many Swedish people. I probably haven't met a couple. I've

699
01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:18.639
met a lot of people from different countries. This is

700
01:05:18.679 --> 01:05:21.679
when I lived in London. I've met people from pretty

701
01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:23.639
much every country in the world. I reckon at some

702
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:28.800
point and worked with them as well, because I've you know,

703
01:05:28.880 --> 01:05:31.440
I had so many different jobs over the years, so

704
01:05:31.519 --> 01:05:39.639
I've worked with people from every every everywhere, even if

705
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:45.719
it was just for a day, I don't remember. And

706
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:48.280
I've dated quite a few people a long time ago,

707
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:57.000
but they were people from ladies from I think let's

708
01:05:57.000 --> 01:06:02.400
have a look countries of our dated women, ladies from

709
01:06:02.519 --> 01:06:08.440
when I was a younger man. The United Kingdom. Never

710
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:11.280
dated anyone from Australia, although I did kind of go

711
01:06:11.400 --> 01:06:13.400
on a date with someone from Australia, but that was

712
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:21.440
as far as it got. Not Canada, Malta, Ireland to

713
01:06:21.519 --> 01:06:28.000
date someone from Ireland. Never dated anyone from France or Sweden, Denmark,

714
01:06:28.039 --> 01:06:34.239
I did, Chechia, I don't think so. New Zealand. No,

715
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:40.599
United Arab Emirates. No, Spain kind of dated a lady

716
01:06:40.639 --> 01:06:48.880
from Spain in the nineties. Norway yes, Russia No, but

717
01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:51.039
I had a couple of quite good friends from Russia.

718
01:06:52.199 --> 01:06:56.320
A man and he was a professor, he was a psychiatrist,

719
01:06:56.960 --> 01:06:59.679
and his wife and they came over and they were

720
01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:04.480
working in the comedy club, just waitering and stuff. And

721
01:07:04.599 --> 01:07:08.400
I've gone really well with them, like really well lovely people,

722
01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:15.920
and I was supposed to visit them, but just never

723
01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:22.039
got around to it. Greece. I kind of dated someone

724
01:07:22.119 --> 01:07:29.559
that was from Greece once. Germany yeap dated someone from Germany. Mexico,

725
01:07:32.159 --> 01:07:34.119
not that I know of, and I don't think so. No,

726
01:07:34.760 --> 01:07:44.519
South Korea, No, Israel, No, I don't think so, Japan, No,

727
01:07:45.400 --> 01:07:59.440
South Africa, Yes, Nian, mar Ni and mar What did

728
01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:01.679
that used to be it? I used to have a

729
01:08:01.719 --> 01:08:06.760
different name, didn't it. I don't know what. I'm confused now. Algeria,

730
01:08:07.079 --> 01:08:16.399
I don't think so. I'm not sure. Malaysia, No, Thailand. Yeah.

731
01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:24.600
The thing is, I know that people there are people

732
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:29.960
listening right now that are living in China. So everyone

733
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:34.000
say hi, it's a big shout out if you're from China.

734
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:36.560
Now it's not going to be listened on here because

735
01:08:38.439 --> 01:08:40.880
the only way people from China can listen to me

736
01:08:41.600 --> 01:08:45.119
is by using a one of those what I don't

737
01:08:45.159 --> 01:08:50.920
know what they call them DNS things, which is a DNS.

738
01:08:52.159 --> 01:09:01.600
It basically allows you to use the Internet and put

739
01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:06.720
in it makes it out that you're from a different country. Yeah,

740
01:09:06.800 --> 01:09:11.159
because I think the well, clearly Russian don't have an issue.

741
01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:14.560
Their internet's fine. I've got people from all over Russia

742
01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:18.600
listening to me. But I think China their internet doesn't.

743
01:09:19.279 --> 01:09:21.960
I've been told that. I've actually had people contact and

744
01:09:22.039 --> 01:09:27.439
tell me that they listen through a what's it called.

745
01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:32.640
It's like an Internet thing where you change it so

746
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:39.439
it looks like you're based in America or in Canada

747
01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:43.159
or somewhere, which means then you can view stuff in

748
01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:46.600
America or in the UK, or maybe they're put down

749
01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:50.199
there in London and they can then listen to my recordings.

750
01:09:51.880 --> 01:09:55.000
It just feels nice that people are going to all

751
01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:58.079
that effort in order to listen to me. So I appreciate.

752
01:10:00.479 --> 01:10:02.800
I'm not sure if there is anyone, but yeah, I

753
01:10:02.920 --> 01:10:10.600
do appreciate anyone that's listening to me. It's been a

754
01:10:10.640 --> 01:10:17.439
while since I did the stats. I'm quite excited by it. Well,

755
01:10:17.520 --> 01:10:22.960
I don't what I haven't done though, is SoundCloud see

756
01:10:23.000 --> 01:10:27.119
that I've done the speaker stats. I don't know what

757
01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:29.760
the stats are on my website because I don't get

758
01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:37.159
stats on there for some reason. And but the stats

759
01:10:37.520 --> 01:10:47.000
for my website of my SoundCloud sorry, if I look

760
01:10:47.079 --> 01:10:52.840
at the top locations, Melbourne the countries, United States of

761
01:10:52.960 --> 01:10:58.159
America is number one. This is on my SoundCloud thing.

762
01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:06.520
Australia's number two, two, then United Kingdom's number three, Germany, Canada, Mexico,

763
01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:22.960
Czech Republic, Philippines, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, France, India, Ukraine, Netherlands, Micronesia,

764
01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:39.439
Federal States of Portugal, Vietnam, Italy, Japan, Turkey, Ethiopia, Belgium, Norway, Brazil,

765
01:11:40.520 --> 01:12:09.279
Hong Kong, Kosovo, Egypt, Russian Russian Federation, Ireland, Georgia, Sweden, Morocco, Kuwait, Panama, Israel, Indonesia, Iraq, Lithuania, Lithuania, Chile, Soudan, Mongolia, Latvia,

766
01:12:10.520 --> 01:12:18.800
Lao People's Democratic Republic, Poland, South Africa, Taiwan, Province of China.

767
01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:29.239
All look virgin Ireland's US, Greece and the top. I mean,

768
01:12:29.279 --> 01:12:34.600
this is like the last thirty days. So if I

769
01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:40.079
go for the top, one's Melbourne, I'm going to guess Molly.

770
01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:43.800
There's Molly. Molly, do you live in Melbourne? Molly. Molly's

771
01:12:43.840 --> 01:12:47.439
the boss of the Facebook group Jason Newland's bowling group.

772
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:52.840
This is turned into a real chat, hasn't it. It's

773
01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:57.720
been quite nice, just a real chit chat. I know,

774
01:12:57.880 --> 01:13:01.039
you know, it started off all let's all talk about vikings,

775
01:13:01.119 --> 01:13:05.680
and I know you've probably really excited, like, oh, you

776
01:13:05.800 --> 01:13:08.119
waited your whole life to hear me talk about vikings,

777
01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:11.439
but I don't know. And then I moved into stats,

778
01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:16.479
and then but I think it's been a bit more interactive.

779
01:13:18.119 --> 01:13:21.159
I feel like I've included you instead of just talking

780
01:13:21.239 --> 01:13:24.960
at you. Maybe I haven't. Maybe it's all in my mind,

781
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:31.199
like so many other things. Melbourne. So I think Molly.

782
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:38.199
But it won't just be Molly because there's been way

783
01:13:38.279 --> 01:13:46.840
too many Unless Molly is playing my recordings continuously twenty

784
01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:57.279
four hours a day on about fifty different mechanical things,

785
01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:00.239
you know, then it wouldn't just be Molly. But I'm

786
01:14:00.279 --> 01:14:04.119
thinking that seems to be the top. So Melbourne. These

787
01:14:04.159 --> 01:14:10.359
are the cities Boardman, Phoenix, the Boardman's seconds in America,

788
01:14:10.840 --> 01:14:21.800
Phoenix's third, Chicago's fourth, falcon Stein which is Germany. That

789
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:28.560
might be Sebastian. I don't know. Toronto and Oakland, so

790
01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:35.760
Toronto's Canada, Oakland and Portland, then and America, then Encinada

791
01:14:36.560 --> 01:14:45.479
and which is Mexico. Then Prague, which is Czech Republic.

792
01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:57.159
Then then the rest these as America, so Sterling, New York, Ashbourn, Portage, Minuka, Minukah.

793
01:14:57.239 --> 01:15:01.560
Isn't that a honey Alpha pritt? He that is that

794
01:15:01.600 --> 01:15:07.600
where the honey's from? Maybe I don't know. Columbus and Kingsport.

795
01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:13.760
Kingsport then you got Bradford. Wow, all those until we

796
01:15:13.800 --> 01:15:17.640
get suddenly we get to somewhere from England, so SoundCloud

797
01:15:17.760 --> 01:15:21.239
doesn't seem to be listened to by people from England

798
01:15:21.359 --> 01:15:29.399
so much. Bradford. Then TURNG Turnger, which I do believe

799
01:15:29.880 --> 01:15:36.800
is New Zealand. Yes, New Zealand. Yeah, New Zealand Commerce.

800
01:15:39.159 --> 01:15:41.000
So here's a bit of a weird fact about me.

801
01:15:41.279 --> 01:15:44.319
I did used to study flags. I got quite excited

802
01:15:44.399 --> 01:15:48.199
by them. It was a short period in my life,

803
01:15:51.199 --> 01:15:54.479
but it happened. I basically had a book of flags

804
01:15:55.039 --> 01:16:01.840
and for some reason it stimulated my brain. Yeh, Trianga.

805
01:16:02.119 --> 01:16:07.239
So that's then you've got commerce. To see in a city,

806
01:16:08.399 --> 01:16:15.680
that is, to see in a city. I'm trying to

807
01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:24.159
memorize the flag to do it. For some reason, it's

808
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:31.680
hiding from me. Philippines, No, to see that Lucina City

809
01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:42.880
is the Philippines. It is the Philippines. Cool Camden, which

810
01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:49.359
is America, not the UK. Camden, Las Crusis and Arlington America.

811
01:16:49.600 --> 01:16:56.199
London an America, game, San Jose and Calambu Zoo Kalamazoo

812
01:16:57.640 --> 01:17:01.039
wasn't the name of a band in the eighties is Kalamazoo?

813
01:17:02.119 --> 01:17:08.560
Then you've got Luton and Altrincham in England, Fresno in America,

814
01:17:08.840 --> 01:17:14.159
Oldham in the UK. There's so many, so many. Frankfurt

815
01:17:14.399 --> 01:17:18.520
am Maine, which I'm pretty sure is Germany. Just the

816
01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:22.119
fact that it says Frankfurt is a clue, isn't it.

817
01:17:23.960 --> 01:17:27.800
And then you've got is that sausage, isn't it Frankfurt,

818
01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:34.840
That's what it stands for, sausage Texakana, Richardson, Dublin, Stockton,

819
01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:43.319
Morristown and Denton, I Saul America, Manchester is England, Milwaukee

820
01:17:43.720 --> 01:17:49.199
and Yonkers is America. Then you've got North York, which

821
01:17:49.319 --> 01:18:05.199
is Canada, Canadi North York. Oh, Ammon, Ammon, I don't know.

822
01:18:05.520 --> 01:18:11.920
Let's say a look, that's that is Jordan's in Jordan.

823
01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:16.920
Ammon is in Jordan. If it's not, please forgive me.

824
01:18:17.000 --> 01:18:21.319
But I'm trying to skip around and find the different flags.

825
01:18:21.840 --> 01:18:32.840
Then you've got Leeds and Chipping, Norton, Aura or Aurora area,

826
01:18:34.520 --> 01:18:40.960
I don't know, Liverpool, Paris and Olympia. Olympia that's where

827
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:47.680
Zeus lives. So yeah, I've got quite a few places. Wow,

828
01:18:49.600 --> 01:18:55.359
And that's just SoundCloud. So there's quite a few different

829
01:18:57.119 --> 01:19:04.399
I mean in Russia. I've got men Mermansk, Moscow are

830
01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:09.880
changed year, chib Lanc. I'm not gonna try and pronounce

831
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:13.640
it that. I don't want to upset anyone. Chilly Banks

832
01:19:13.720 --> 01:19:24.600
sinks or Blast Kermit, Kermroe, Comover Oblast, Samarat Oblast, am

833
01:19:24.720 --> 01:19:36.840
the Oblast, Burietia Republic, Bres, New York, Trey, Novice, Bursks Oblast,

834
01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:43.600
viv Oblast, Saint Petersburg. I think that's when my dad went.

835
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:47.840
My dad went and visited Russia many many, many, many

836
01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:55.239
many many years ago. Verds losts O, blost Yevoslak or

837
01:19:55.279 --> 01:20:01.279
blost other See what my dad's done is as he's

838
01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:04.920
retired or when he retired, he decided he wanted to

839
01:20:05.079 --> 01:20:07.840
travel because he didn't really get a chance to travel

840
01:20:07.880 --> 01:20:11.640
when he was because he went from raising us to

841
01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:19.239
then he got he basically his first marriage he had

842
01:20:19.279 --> 01:20:23.880
three kids, and then his second marriage he had another kid,

843
01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:28.800
and then his third marriage he had two young kids

844
01:20:30.800 --> 01:20:35.520
already there, if you know what I mean. So he

845
01:20:35.800 --> 01:20:42.359
was sort of he couldn't really sort of get away

846
01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:53.119
I suppose, like going abroad holidays until he retired. And yeah,

847
01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:56.319
he's really made the most of it it's been quite

848
01:20:56.319 --> 01:20:59.640
a lot of places. I think it's brilliant kind of

849
01:21:01.199 --> 01:21:04.399
I'm starting to think for myself about how I'd like

850
01:21:04.560 --> 01:21:09.079
to proceed in the future, for my you know, my

851
01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:15.399
own kind of life. I really fancy going on cruises

852
01:21:17.760 --> 01:21:20.840
because I think I could do it and do my

853
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:27.560
recordings while I was on the cruise, and then i'd

854
01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:30.520
have something to talk about as well, because I'd be

855
01:21:30.600 --> 01:21:36.039
going on excursions and there'd be all kinds of weird

856
01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:40.319
things happen. I suppose over time it'd just be nice

857
01:21:40.359 --> 01:21:44.319
to go on a few cruises a year, travel the

858
01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:49.119
world and have, you know, take my microphone with me

859
01:21:49.800 --> 01:21:53.119
and just you know, just talk and go through what's happening,

860
01:21:53.239 --> 01:21:58.479
and it'd be brilliant. I'd love to do that. I mean,

861
01:21:58.600 --> 01:22:00.520
I know I couldn't do it all the time because

862
01:22:00.560 --> 01:22:04.039
of the little one here, but I've got someone, He's

863
01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:07.600
got his mommy, he can stay with for a couple,

864
01:22:07.640 --> 01:22:10.840
you know, a week or two at a time, you know,

865
01:22:11.279 --> 01:22:13.880
so I could go away a couple of times a

866
01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:19.000
year on a cruise, even if it was just around

867
01:22:20.159 --> 01:22:29.159
these shores. Just be nice to have something to I've

868
01:22:29.159 --> 01:22:34.159
always liked cruise ships or ships, you know, going across

869
01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:37.039
the channel. And that's as far as I've done on

870
01:22:37.119 --> 01:22:40.439
a ship is just go to France, or to Amsterdam,

871
01:22:40.960 --> 01:22:46.680
or to Belgium or to Ireland. That's the four places

872
01:22:46.720 --> 01:22:51.399
I've been on ships. But did Belgium might that? Did

873
01:22:51.479 --> 01:22:55.359
that trip like three times? I think I did the

874
01:22:56.159 --> 01:23:02.079
Ireland trip twice. I went. I went to Paris as well, France.

875
01:23:02.520 --> 01:23:16.000
What did I say, so Belgium. What's the next one? France?

876
01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:28.560
The next one Amsterdam, the next one Ireland? That was it,

877
01:23:28.680 --> 01:23:33.000
isn't it? It's only four? Did I say number one?

878
01:23:33.039 --> 01:23:33.359
Before that?

879
01:23:33.800 --> 01:23:37.600
I can't remember. I don't think I've been anywhere else. Oh, No,

880
01:23:38.439 --> 01:23:43.399
Isle of Man, Island Man. That was still a ferry.

881
01:23:43.560 --> 01:23:48.680
It was still so Isle of Man. I'm trying to

882
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:53.159
think of ever been anywhere else. I think that's it Ireland.

883
01:23:53.920 --> 01:23:57.359
I include Island, the Nicet five. I've been on five fairies,

884
01:23:58.239 --> 01:24:08.199
like five fairy journeys, different destinations. That is so, Belgium, France,

885
01:24:19.199 --> 01:24:24.239
Ireland in order. I'm just trying. I think Island, Amsterdam,

886
01:24:27.239 --> 01:24:32.680
Island Man. I haven't been on a ferry in twenty

887
01:24:33.159 --> 01:24:39.720
one years, I don't think, have I No, I don't

888
01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:49.960
think I have. I mean, yeah, I know. So it's

889
01:24:50.079 --> 01:24:53.880
five different destinations on a ferry and what I've been

890
01:24:53.960 --> 01:25:07.760
on a plane Spain, Bulgaria, Thailand, anywhere else. That's it.

891
01:25:09.359 --> 01:25:14.359
So basically I have technically been to I mean Island

892
01:25:14.399 --> 01:25:16.479
Man is in a different country because part of the UK.

893
01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:20.439
Mind you, Scotland is a different country and that's part

894
01:25:20.479 --> 01:25:24.720
of the UK. So I'm confused. Is Island Man a

895
01:25:24.760 --> 01:25:28.560
different country because it's a different island. There is c

896
01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:34.319
between us as there is with Ireland. And I don't

897
01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:38.760
think the news say the island of Ireland anymore. They

898
01:25:38.840 --> 01:25:41.439
went through a period and it kept saying the island

899
01:25:41.560 --> 01:25:48.800
of Ireland, and I love them. I don't love it actually,

900
01:25:48.920 --> 01:25:51.720
but the way the news tries to educate the population.

901
01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:57.359
For years, and I'm talking years and years and years.

902
01:25:58.000 --> 01:26:05.520
As far back as I remember, Kiev like chicken Kiev,

903
01:26:06.399 --> 01:26:09.760
the you know, the food, the people we have, and

904
01:26:09.960 --> 01:26:12.119
the place was called the same, we called it Kiev.

905
01:26:14.640 --> 01:26:16.800
And then a couple of years ago, three years ago,

906
01:26:16.880 --> 01:26:22.079
maybe I don't know, the news channel was decided they

907
01:26:22.159 --> 01:26:25.199
started off calling it Kiev and then they changed it

908
01:26:25.359 --> 01:26:33.159
said Kiev, it's Kiev, like they done with Hyundai. It

909
01:26:33.239 --> 01:26:38.640
took years to learn that word. Now it's who, who

910
01:26:40.119 --> 01:26:45.199
or something, so I know at least lead or gave

911
01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:48.800
up on it. They gave up on us because this country,

912
01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:55.600
we are very proud of our ignorance and we don't

913
01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:58.119
like getting told what to say or how to pronounce words.

914
01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:04.000
Don't like it told to do, and we were not

915
01:27:04.119 --> 01:27:11.439
going to change. It's one of our idiosyncricities, maybe idiosyncricities,

916
01:27:12.159 --> 01:27:19.640
idiosyncricity disease. So when little came along, well Ledal, they

917
01:27:19.760 --> 01:27:22.680
kept trying to tell Leedal, no, I ain't doing it.

918
01:27:24.560 --> 01:27:27.479
We refused, and it's really weird because we didn't have

919
01:27:27.560 --> 01:27:32.079
to get together as a country. We just instinctively knew

920
01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:37.399
that we were never going to use the term Ledal.

921
01:27:38.399 --> 01:27:45.560
It was going to be little, sorry little, not Ledal Little,

922
01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:50.279
And eventually, after about twenty five years they gave up.

923
01:27:51.960 --> 01:27:54.960
They really went on for years and years calling it Leedal,

924
01:27:55.880 --> 01:27:58.039
and eventually they just had to give up. And now

925
01:27:58.079 --> 01:28:04.920
they call it little them on the adverts little it

926
01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:08.079
costs little at little so either' even rhynd it now

927
01:28:08.239 --> 01:28:14.640
in the adverts, not that I see a lot of adverts. Luckily, heir, leadal,

928
01:28:17.239 --> 01:28:24.079
that's complicated. We can't look. I mean, I don't know

929
01:28:24.119 --> 01:28:27.560
if it's just the way that English people's tongues move,

930
01:28:30.520 --> 01:28:33.640
but it seems to be difficult as an english person

931
01:28:34.439 --> 01:28:41.159
to pronounce long names. I don't know why that is.

932
01:28:42.199 --> 01:28:46.800
It's not through lack of attempting, well a little bit,

933
01:28:46.880 --> 01:28:51.399
but it's so You've got some countries where the names

934
01:28:51.399 --> 01:28:56.640
are really long, like the surname, but it's really easy

935
01:28:56.720 --> 01:28:58.920
for them to pronounce it. I mean, you could argue, well,

936
01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:02.880
it's their name, but it's not just that. It's just

937
01:29:04.840 --> 01:29:08.960
they used to be long. Whether they're not probably long

938
01:29:09.039 --> 01:29:16.479
to them, but they are long names, long surnames. And

939
01:29:16.760 --> 01:29:20.720
if I see a name, it's basically like a To me,

940
01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:25.439
it looks like a sentence that's been squashed together, that

941
01:29:25.640 --> 01:29:28.079
has had all the gaps taken out. And I'm like,

942
01:29:28.479 --> 01:29:32.560
how am I supposed to say that? Because you know,

943
01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:35.560
I don't want to say it, I don't want to

944
01:29:35.560 --> 01:29:40.640
say it wrongly. But I'm okay because I'm in the

945
01:29:40.720 --> 01:29:45.239
position where I don't learn people's names anyway, so I

946
01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:52.840
still call people mate. You right, mate? Twenty years. I've

947
01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:57.199
not been around here ten years and I probably know

948
01:29:57.359 --> 01:30:02.039
five names, and I don't know the names. I know

949
01:30:02.159 --> 01:30:06.560
the name of war. I know two people who walk dogs,

950
01:30:07.199 --> 01:30:12.880
two people and some people have like they saw me

951
01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:15.680
for a year and a half and then they talk

952
01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:17.079
to me and then they said, oh, by the way,

953
01:30:17.079 --> 01:30:19.479
I watch your name. So I tell them they can't

954
01:30:19.560 --> 01:30:21.840
say they call me by my name. I don't. I

955
01:30:21.880 --> 01:30:25.239
can't remember what they told me their name was, because

956
01:30:25.279 --> 01:30:27.239
I don't know. As soon as someone says, oh, my

957
01:30:27.439 --> 01:30:32.760
name is, my ear is just tightly shut. I don't

958
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:35.880
know why. I wish they wouldn't, but they do. They

959
01:30:36.079 --> 01:30:40.479
just It's almost like an invisible finger goes into each

960
01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:53.000
ear and I don't. It doesn't register. And I'm not

961
01:30:53.079 --> 01:30:56.359
talking about people that I'm not interested in or people

962
01:30:56.399 --> 01:30:59.000
I don't like, because generally I don't talk to people

963
01:30:59.000 --> 01:31:04.000
I don't like. It's people are like I mean, if

964
01:31:04.079 --> 01:31:08.359
I meet someone that I really like, they told me

965
01:31:08.399 --> 01:31:12.840
their name, it's gone. I don't remember it. It is gone,

966
01:31:12.960 --> 01:31:17.159
it goes. Is this something about remembering people's names? It

967
01:31:17.399 --> 01:31:27.479
just disappears when I first meet them. I mean, it happened.

968
01:31:28.439 --> 01:31:31.479
It was really embarrassing. This is years ago, a long

969
01:31:31.560 --> 01:31:35.600
long time ago, and I had this date with a

970
01:31:35.680 --> 01:31:37.640
lady that worked in the supermarket. She was on a

971
01:31:37.720 --> 01:31:43.359
cash on the what cash counter, let's it. She worked

972
01:31:43.359 --> 01:31:51.720
on the counter, and we weren't on a date, and

973
01:31:51.800 --> 01:31:55.880
we went straight from her work. So I picked her

974
01:31:56.000 --> 01:32:00.479
up whan didn't pick her up, I mean I met her.

975
01:32:00.880 --> 01:32:03.359
I didn't have a car, and I picked her up.

976
01:32:03.800 --> 01:32:05.439
But then I put her down again and she said

977
01:32:05.439 --> 01:32:08.319
I can put me down. I said, okay, sorry, and

978
01:32:08.720 --> 01:32:11.239
we got a bus or something. So I know how

979
01:32:11.279 --> 01:32:16.199
to show a lady a good time, and we went

980
01:32:16.279 --> 01:32:19.560
out and everything like that, and we've been chatting for

981
01:32:19.720 --> 01:32:25.520
ages and eventually kind of I built up the courage

982
01:32:25.640 --> 01:32:29.399
to do, you know, to ask her out and stuff.

983
01:32:29.520 --> 01:32:31.800
And I didn't want to put her on a spot,

984
01:32:32.960 --> 01:32:37.319
so I made sure I didn't want to embarrass her, basically,

985
01:32:38.079 --> 01:32:41.600
so I made sure that the song I sung I

986
01:32:41.760 --> 01:32:47.479
was pretty short, you know, had my guitar, and I thought, well,

987
01:32:48.239 --> 01:32:50.680
it's good to embarrass her if it's over ten minutes long.

988
01:32:52.000 --> 01:32:54.880
So I did that and it seemed to work quite well.

989
01:32:55.680 --> 01:32:57.960
And I remember her saying to me, I will go

990
01:32:58.079 --> 01:33:01.560
out of you if you just stop this now and leave.

991
01:33:01.840 --> 01:33:06.720
I said, okay, So yeah, it worked. She seemed surprised

992
01:33:06.760 --> 01:33:13.279
when it turned up though, anyway, and it went quite well.

993
01:33:13.880 --> 01:33:15.600
In fact, you could say it went as well as

994
01:33:16.159 --> 01:33:22.159
it could possibly have gone. And the next morning we

995
01:33:22.239 --> 01:33:32.680
were waking up and I could not what's weird, right is?

996
01:33:34.119 --> 01:33:42.439
We were both kind of in bed, and she said, well,

997
01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:46.479
I got to go to work. I said okay. She said,

998
01:33:46.760 --> 01:33:57.159
shall we swap numbers? And I said, cool, brilliant, And

999
01:33:58.079 --> 01:33:59.600
so she took my number.

1000
01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:00.640
This is.

1001
01:34:04.640 --> 01:34:06.960
Yeah, she said this when mobile phones were around, so

1002
01:34:07.000 --> 01:34:09.960
it was obviously it's still a while ago, but and

1003
01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:15.000
so I she I gave her my number. But this

1004
01:34:15.600 --> 01:34:17.960
is before we used to phone each other, you know,

1005
01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:19.840
like you give someone your number and then they'd call you.

1006
01:34:21.279 --> 01:34:23.479
I was literally putting a number in. We hadn't figured

1007
01:34:23.479 --> 01:34:26.520
out that you could call someone. But maybe that's because

1008
01:34:26.760 --> 01:34:29.800
back then it costs too much money to phone people.

1009
01:34:29.880 --> 01:34:33.079
But I don't know. I'm not sure. So I gave

1010
01:34:33.119 --> 01:34:37.359
him my number and I said, do you remember my name?

1011
01:34:37.399 --> 01:34:41.960
She said, of course I do, Elvis. But anyway, she

1012
01:34:42.039 --> 01:34:44.359
did she remember my name. I felt good, and she

1013
01:34:44.399 --> 01:34:46.399
said remember my name? I said, yeah, of course I do.

1014
01:34:48.600 --> 01:34:50.399
And I couldn't remember what her name was. I had

1015
01:34:50.520 --> 01:34:54.000
no idea, just it just went out of my head.

1016
01:34:54.800 --> 01:34:56.520
I don't think it ever went into my head, but

1017
01:34:56.680 --> 01:35:00.039
it definitely wasn't in my head at that point, and

1018
01:35:01.479 --> 01:35:06.720
so we was just luckily I managed to change the subject.

1019
01:35:10.439 --> 01:35:14.479
I think I opened the window and farted, so that. Yeah,

1020
01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:20.479
that definitely distracted her. So we're getting ready she has

1021
01:35:20.600 --> 01:35:24.560
to go out, and I'm thinking. She said, well, do

1022
01:35:24.600 --> 01:35:29.079
you want to take my number? So I did. So

1023
01:35:29.279 --> 01:35:31.720
She's got her back to the door, to her door.

1024
01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:36.279
I'm looking at her and she says, Okay, it's my number.

1025
01:35:36.880 --> 01:35:39.439
I said thanks. She said, aren't you going to put

1026
01:35:39.479 --> 01:35:42.319
your name? Put my name into it? I said yeah,

1027
01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:48.920
She said, you've forgot my name, haven't you. Luckily, on

1028
01:35:49.079 --> 01:35:56.079
the back of her door was her uniform, her supermarket

1029
01:35:56.239 --> 01:35:59.479
uniform where she worked, and it was there was a

1030
01:35:59.560 --> 01:36:04.399
tag there on there, like a badge on it, and

1031
01:36:04.520 --> 01:36:09.600
I thought, thank goodness for that. It really saved me. Honestly,

1032
01:36:10.840 --> 01:36:13.560
I'm not proud of myself, but I said, of course,

1033
01:36:13.600 --> 01:36:15.039
I know what your name is. She said, what is

1034
01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:19.039
it then? And she really thought right, she had me,

1035
01:36:20.239 --> 01:36:24.840
and I said, listen, of course. I look. We just

1036
01:36:24.880 --> 01:36:31.199
spent a really wonderful date together last night. And I've

1037
01:36:31.399 --> 01:36:33.239
liked you for a long time. I've been coming into

1038
01:36:33.319 --> 01:36:36.680
the shop, uh, you know, and we've been getting on

1039
01:36:36.880 --> 01:36:39.800
and you know, I hoping I'll get to see you again,

1040
01:36:39.880 --> 01:36:43.600
and which you know, we've clicked and it's been a

1041
01:36:43.760 --> 01:36:46.840
nice time, hasn't it. She said, yeah. I said, of

1042
01:36:46.920 --> 01:36:50.520
course I know what your name is. I wouldn't. I

1043
01:36:50.640 --> 01:36:54.359
don't get I don't do these kinds of things unless

1044
01:36:54.399 --> 01:36:57.119
I know someone's name. I mean, come on, what kind

1045
01:36:57.159 --> 01:36:59.479
of person do you think I am? And she said, well,

1046
01:36:59.479 --> 01:37:01.680
what's my name? Then she wasn't giving up on it.

1047
01:37:02.439 --> 01:37:06.239
So I looked at the tag and I said, of

1048
01:37:06.359 --> 01:37:12.800
course it's Sainsbury's. I know your name is Sainsbury's. I

1049
01:37:13.000 --> 01:37:16.439
continue to put it into my phone and she's she laughs,

1050
01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:21.159
and then she looks at my phone and she says

1051
01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:30.880
that I'm actually putting in Sainsbury's into the phone. And yeah,

1052
01:37:35.399 --> 01:37:38.039
never saw her again. For some reason, she didn't call me.

1053
01:37:39.119 --> 01:37:49.680
I don't know why, dad. So yeah, that's the end

1054
01:37:49.760 --> 01:37:57.880
of this trivia Tuesday, which really had the only real

1055
01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:00.960
trivia was just my life, wasn't it. Let's see if

1056
01:38:00.960 --> 01:38:09.279
there's any other vikings, vikings the world's first helmet hair problem.

1057
01:38:10.279 --> 01:38:16.279
They loved practical jokes. Apparently Saga accounts mentions swapping people's

1058
01:38:16.319 --> 01:38:23.399
weapons for blunt ones and there's a prank. Wow. Can

1059
01:38:23.479 --> 01:38:27.479
you imagine that you're in battle and you have to

1060
01:38:27.600 --> 01:38:33.720
actually your sword out and it's just blunt, mind you,

1061
01:38:33.800 --> 01:38:38.039
they're heavy swords. I don't know. I mean, I've never

1062
01:38:38.600 --> 01:38:41.319
never really the only I used to have a sword.

1063
01:38:41.319 --> 01:38:44.039
I used to have a samurai sword. I mean they

1064
01:38:44.079 --> 01:38:46.199
had a bit of weight on it, but that was blunt.

1065
01:38:51.760 --> 01:38:54.760
That's it. Really. I could have sharpened it, but I didn't,

1066
01:38:55.359 --> 01:39:02.560
luckily for me. And that's it. So I'm going to

1067
01:39:02.680 --> 01:39:09.720
go now. Thank you for listening. Remember to be kind

1068
01:39:09.760 --> 01:39:12.560
to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy and

1069
01:39:12.720 --> 01:39:19.199
be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe. Lots

1070
01:39:19.239 --> 01:39:40.239
of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and meaningful way,

1071
01:39:42.760 --> 01:39:47.760
maybe in a way that can not just allow you

1072
01:39:48.319 --> 01:39:58.279
to feel calmer now and throughout the time we've spend

1073
01:39:58.399 --> 01:40:06.319
together here, not just relaxed at the end of the

1074
01:40:06.439 --> 01:40:11.760
recording when it's finished and you can enjoy that sense

1075
01:40:11.920 --> 01:40:28.520
of comfort and peace, but also I think it would

1076
01:40:28.560 --> 01:40:44.439
be nice to have those feelings of relaxation continue for

1077
01:40:44.640 --> 01:40:56.439
longer after the recording has ended, so that you can

1078
01:40:58.199 --> 01:41:08.760
still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe in a

1079
01:41:08.880 --> 01:41:21.319
few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly,

1080
01:41:24.439 --> 01:41:29.039
especially if you find like some people do and myself

1081
01:41:29.119 --> 01:41:33.640
as well. I sometimes I find one particular recording that

1082
01:41:33.880 --> 01:41:42.479
really resonates with me, and I just listen to it

1083
01:41:42.680 --> 01:41:55.479
over and over again every morning, every evening. There was

1084
01:41:55.560 --> 01:42:01.239
this recording from We're going back to about nineteen ninety nine.

1085
01:42:02.960 --> 01:42:08.039
It was it wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualization,

1086
01:42:08.279 --> 01:42:15.279
so it kind of was hypnosis really, and I managed

1087
01:42:15.319 --> 01:42:18.520
to find it again and it still has the same

1088
01:42:18.560 --> 01:42:28.199
effect on me. And part of it was the person's

1089
01:42:28.319 --> 01:42:41.079
voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful, and I'd look

1090
01:42:41.319 --> 01:42:48.239
forward to listening to her in the morning and in

1091
01:42:48.319 --> 01:42:59.560
the evening. And I knew before even pressing the play

1092
01:42:59.640 --> 01:43:07.840
button that since I've done that, pressed the play button.

1093
01:43:08.640 --> 01:43:19.600
This is in the days of CD players pressed the

1094
01:43:19.680 --> 01:43:25.000
play button. I fact, it might have even been a

1095
01:43:25.079 --> 01:43:29.560
tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed and

1096
01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:48.079
then even without necessarily listening to her words, because I

1097
01:43:48.239 --> 01:43:55.680
had to memorized. Really, it was as if my body

1098
01:43:57.600 --> 01:44:11.039
knew exactly what to do, and the muscles just almost

1099
01:44:11.119 --> 01:44:31.520
went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind would

1100
01:44:31.600 --> 01:44:32.199
slow down.

1101
01:44:37.840 --> 01:44:38.039
Now.

1102
01:44:40.199 --> 01:44:46.880
Now, I was listening to this recording in the early

1103
01:44:47.039 --> 01:44:54.800
days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made

1104
01:44:55.399 --> 01:45:02.680
any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start

1105
01:45:02.760 --> 01:45:12.520
doing that till two thousand and six. But I knew,

1106
01:45:16.439 --> 01:45:29.520
I knew how helpful I found being able to just

1107
01:45:29.720 --> 01:45:37.720
let go, to have that trust in the person that

1108
01:45:37.760 --> 01:45:51.600
I'm listening to, knowing that it's going to be just

1109
01:45:51.760 --> 01:45:59.000
as relaxing, if not more so. Each time you hear

1110
01:45:59.079 --> 01:46:14.520
my voice, you may feel the same. Some people have

1111
01:46:14.680 --> 01:46:27.760
been listening to me for over a decade, maybe not solidly,

1112
01:46:28.920 --> 01:46:35.079
obviously not twenty four hours a day, but maybe people

1113
01:46:35.239 --> 01:46:50.760
come back. Some people may be listen every day. That's

1114
01:46:50.800 --> 01:46:59.680
something that I do which you may not realize by listening,

1115
01:47:04.319 --> 01:47:22.079
is when I record these recordings. Now, for example, I

1116
01:47:22.399 --> 01:47:35.159
also am affected by the words that I say. So

1117
01:47:35.359 --> 01:47:44.399
if I said to you, focus on your feet, notice

1118
01:47:44.560 --> 01:47:51.720
your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1119
01:47:56.640 --> 01:48:14.039
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said

1120
01:48:14.199 --> 01:48:21.840
focus on your hands and maybe notice the difference between

1121
01:48:21.920 --> 01:48:32.119
each hand. Perhaps notice that the air in the room,

1122
01:48:32.680 --> 01:48:37.479
the temperature of the room on the backs of your hands.

1123
01:48:45.319 --> 01:48:49.119
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

1124
01:48:49.359 --> 01:48:57.239
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1125
01:48:57.800 --> 01:49:02.560
type of breeze at all where you are right now.

1126
01:49:10.920 --> 01:49:21.479
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

1127
01:49:21.840 --> 01:49:50.000
aware of how relaxed my hands our feeling now and

1128
01:49:50.239 --> 01:49:57.119
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

1129
01:49:57.239 --> 01:50:10.359
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

1130
01:50:13.600 --> 01:50:27.079
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

1131
01:50:34.960 --> 01:50:47.560
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

1132
01:50:52.439 --> 01:51:01.920
and then I carry on talking. It's only when I

1133
01:51:03.600 --> 01:51:12.920
listen back to do the editing I hear snoring and

1134
01:51:13.039 --> 01:51:23.079
I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. This

1135
01:51:23.279 --> 01:51:30.560
snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I sound

1136
01:51:30.680 --> 01:51:38.560
like when I snare and I get really into the

1137
01:51:40.439 --> 01:51:58.520
whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How relaxed

1138
01:51:58.680 --> 01:52:08.760
do you feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel

1139
01:52:09.000 --> 01:52:35.640
in your hands. I have noticed more and more that

1140
01:52:35.840 --> 01:52:51.960
the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel, the

1141
01:52:52.199 --> 01:53:12.760
easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation.

1142
01:53:17.159 --> 01:53:38.119
So this allows you the breve easier without necessarily focusing

1143
01:53:40.359 --> 01:54:05.880
on your breath, however, being able to notice the ease

1144
01:54:09.359 --> 01:54:35.920
in which you breathe so naturally, you breathe so very

1145
01:54:36.199 --> 01:55:24.880
easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving. When

1146
01:55:24.960 --> 01:55:40.239
I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize a

1147
01:55:40.399 --> 01:55:56.920
beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that life

1148
01:55:57.079 --> 01:56:32.640
giving oxygen. It feels nice to, if nothing else, just

1149
01:56:33.159 --> 01:57:11.479
taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling of peace,

1150
01:57:16.560 --> 01:57:59.720
serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to just to

1151
01:57:59.800 --> 01:58:32.960
read it by so very slowly relaxed, so deeply peaceful,

1152
01:58:42.920 --> 01:59:25.680
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free.

1153
01:59:52.199 --> 02:00:43.520
Notice that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because

1154
02:00:43.720 --> 02:01:12.279
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical

1155
02:01:12.640 --> 02:01:24.279
sensations of allowing the stress rip out of your body,

1156
02:01:30.760 --> 02:01:53.800
to appear out of every part of your body, and

1157
02:01:54.119 --> 02:02:33.560
being released from your brain in your mind slowly but surely,

1158
02:02:40.520 --> 02:03:17.840
the muscle sing relax relax mhmm rs. Really so very deeply,

1159
02:03:27.640 --> 02:03:58.680
res so deeply. And the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

1160
02:03:58.800 --> 02:04:22.880
your arms, h and shoulders, deepening each part of your

1161
02:04:22.960 --> 02:05:04.319
body further and deeper and deeper. Note, and the feelings

1162
02:05:04.800 --> 02:06:05.000
in the back of your neck, the feelings in your wrists, muscles,

1163
02:06:07.079 --> 02:06:44.359
in front of your body, I allsay, feeling peaceful deeply,

1164
02:07:01.399 --> 02:07:11.680
there's a sense of peace spreads through your very core.

1165
02:07:42.199 --> 02:08:02.079
Even when you focus on your mind. Her mind becomes

1166
02:08:09.439 --> 02:09:32.279
ee and slower, even deeper, relaxing, so very slow. Your stomach,

1167
02:09:46.399 --> 02:10:34.039
he's fallin's stomach, your back. Notice, Notice how relaxed you'd

1168
02:10:34.279 --> 02:10:46.600
never feel in the hole of your back.

1169
02:11:11.800 --> 02:11:20.840
Your spy from your brain all the way down the

1170
02:11:21.000 --> 02:11:31.640
middle of your back, sending and receiving millions of messages

1171
02:11:32.399 --> 02:12:02.039
every day, deecomfort increasing deep playing rix.

1172
02:12:31.880 --> 02:12:32.239
You me.

1173
02:12:58.279 --> 02:13:12.039
Yes, spreading those signals down your spine or cord into air,

1174
02:13:12.279 --> 02:13:31.720
every part of your body, your shins and your calf muscles,

1175
02:13:58.960 --> 02:14:27.640
your elbow. Yes, feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through

1176
02:14:27.840 --> 02:14:45.159
your body, tips of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers,

1177
02:14:49.520 --> 02:15:35.520
all the way to your lower back. M I thinker, retinker, peace,

1178
02:15:51.319 --> 02:16:21.399
drifting my just wandering away, happy to let go, let

1179
02:16:22.039 --> 02:17:27.399
go completely, let go, so tranquil, the whole body enjoying

1180
02:17:27.520 --> 02:19:43.120
a sensor letting go, he even more peace for enjoy

1181
02:19:48.879 --> 02:20:33.719
the space, this space of peace in safety, so fiery, relaxed,

1182
02:22:03.639 --> 02:22:28.319
letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the different

1183
02:22:28.680 --> 02:23:03.520
parts of your body, just to notice a forehead in

1184
02:23:03.760 --> 02:24:10.200
your eyes uture so loose, noticing the sense of complete freedom,

1185
02:24:22.239 --> 02:26:18.559
absolute freedom rifri pea's for energy peace to breeze, so

1186
02:26:18.799 --> 02:27:02.760
much easy loose.

1187
02:27:24.040 --> 02:27:25.040
You may have.

1188
02:27:28.559 --> 02:28:29.159
Or may not have noticed your mind drifting peaceful, moveingly,

1189
02:28:29.280 --> 02:28:49.479
even more deeply in the direction of total blissful pace,

1190
02:28:53.680 --> 02:30:57.360
blissful peace rift, total peace. Come so calm, lett him

1191
02:30:57.440 --> 02:32:33.319
go peace with mind rexed fourty s relx relaxed. Your

1192
02:32:33.520 --> 02:33:14.840
body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so peaceful,

1193
02:33:30.680 --> 02:34:16.479
real licka, so peaceful. And you could start to notice

1194
02:34:16.879 --> 02:34:25.920
that you are feeling more relaxed, even though I've not

1195
02:34:27.639 --> 02:34:38.319
purposely focused your mind upon that sense of physical comfort

1196
02:34:39.079 --> 02:34:45.920
that is growing within you throughout your body, and your

1197
02:34:46.040 --> 02:34:56.600
mind starts to slow down, and that could be almost

1198
02:34:56.799 --> 02:35:06.319
in recognition of I guess my speech not being particularly fast,

1199
02:35:12.879 --> 02:35:23.239
and things just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to

1200
02:35:23.440 --> 02:35:32.000
my voice, you give yourself an opportunity to take a

1201
02:35:32.120 --> 02:35:38.920
break from the day, take a break from your life

1202
02:35:40.079 --> 02:35:48.520
as it is, and to give yourself a rest, giving

1203
02:35:48.600 --> 02:35:56.040
yourself permission to take some time off and to allow

1204
02:35:56.239 --> 02:36:02.360
your body to relax and allow your mind to slow down,

1205
02:36:06.479 --> 02:36:14.159
which in turn releases the tension and he stresses that

1206
02:36:14.319 --> 02:36:24.000
you had in your body. It's almost as if the

1207
02:36:24.120 --> 02:36:29.120
parts of your body just open up, allowing the negativity

1208
02:36:29.440 --> 02:36:41.319
out and at the same time replacing that negativity with

1209
02:36:42.000 --> 02:36:51.600
positive heathing energy, which then fills your body up and

1210
02:36:51.760 --> 02:37:03.879
your mind to also starts to appreciate those feelings of

1211
02:37:05.120 --> 02:37:24.600
increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy

1212
02:37:25.000 --> 02:37:35.559
that spreads through your body like a wave of comfort.

1213
02:37:40.399 --> 02:37:50.639
And all this comes from just allowing yourself a few minutes,

1214
02:37:52.479 --> 02:37:55.520
maybe half an hour, however long you want it to be,

1215
02:37:57.399 --> 02:38:11.239
just rest and allow your mind and your body to

1216
02:38:11.360 --> 02:38:27.959
almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

1217
02:38:32.239 --> 02:38:41.559
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness

1218
02:38:45.639 --> 02:38:54.440
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

1219
02:38:55.239 --> 02:38:59.799
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,

1220
02:39:04.120 --> 02:39:13.799
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness,

1221
02:39:18.879 --> 02:39:26.079
and it feels nice. It really does feel nice to

1222
02:39:26.280 --> 02:39:31.959
know that you are the one that has allowed yourself

1223
02:39:35.440 --> 02:39:47.639
to feel more comfort and to experience more of this

1224
02:39:49.440 --> 02:40:04.600
deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1225
02:40:06.159 --> 02:40:11.920
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1226
02:40:12.159 --> 02:40:26.680
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1227
02:40:29.200 --> 02:40:38.879
It becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing.

1228
02:40:42.920 --> 02:40:48.680
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1229
02:40:51.399 --> 02:40:58.079
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to

1230
02:40:58.280 --> 02:41:05.920
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

1231
02:41:05.959 --> 02:41:19.280
on or just automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation

1232
02:41:19.719 --> 02:41:32.760
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going

1233
02:41:32.799 --> 02:41:39.719
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware

1234
02:41:40.040 --> 02:41:48.639
of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds

1235
02:41:50.440 --> 02:41:55.280
like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to

1236
02:41:55.440 --> 02:42:02.680
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1237
02:42:05.840 --> 02:42:11.159
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1238
02:42:14.639 --> 02:42:20.680
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1239
02:42:21.200 --> 02:42:31.680
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1240
02:42:31.959 --> 02:42:39.719
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1241
02:42:42.040 --> 02:42:46.520
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1242
02:42:51.719 --> 02:42:59.879
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1243
02:43:00.079 --> 02:43:10.959
and how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light

1244
02:43:12.040 --> 02:43:18.200
at the same time, and all the muscles around your

1245
02:43:18.319 --> 02:43:30.760
eyes relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth,

1246
02:43:32.639 --> 02:43:39.600
your lips, your tongue, your teeth, and your gumbs, the

1247
02:43:39.840 --> 02:43:54.399
whole of your mouth relaxing, calm and loose, as you

1248
02:43:54.559 --> 02:44:02.479
focus now on your jaw, not just the parts of

1249
02:44:02.600 --> 02:44:07.239
your jaw near your mouth and your chin, put all

1250
02:44:07.319 --> 02:44:11.799
the way up the size of your face to your ears,

1251
02:44:14.079 --> 02:44:29.959
the hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed and calm.

1252
02:44:38.120 --> 02:44:47.200
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and

1253
02:44:47.319 --> 02:45:00.239
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The sign it's

1254
02:45:00.319 --> 02:45:05.719
of your neck, the right and left side of your neck,

1255
02:45:08.680 --> 02:45:24.479
relax and loose and calm. And now the back of

1256
02:45:24.600 --> 02:45:37.440
your neck. Focusing on the back of your neck, letting

1257
02:45:37.639 --> 02:45:42.280
go of any tension that may have been there before,

1258
02:45:44.120 --> 02:45:58.200
and enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that

1259
02:45:58.399 --> 02:46:08.840
you can experience in the back of your neck. Moving

1260
02:46:09.079 --> 02:46:15.680
down your back and moving either side of your spine

1261
02:46:16.959 --> 02:46:21.639
right from the top of your back all the way

1262
02:46:21.879 --> 02:46:34.559
down to the bottom of your back, down to your

1263
02:46:34.639 --> 02:46:45.200
lower back. As you move up and down your spine,

1264
02:46:47.319 --> 02:46:51.760
you can feel the muscles either side of your spine

1265
02:46:53.959 --> 02:47:08.559
relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense

1266
02:47:08.639 --> 02:47:19.120
of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into

1267
02:47:19.319 --> 02:47:25.959
both sides of your back, the top of your back,

1268
02:47:26.840 --> 02:47:33.079
the middle, and your lower back. And as you scan

1269
02:47:34.760 --> 02:47:42.600
gently and slowly up and down your back, there's the

1270
02:47:42.719 --> 02:47:48.559
muscles in the top of your back relax and become looser.

1271
02:47:52.920 --> 02:47:58.920
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

1272
02:47:59.040 --> 02:48:08.559
to just most divide from each other, separating and almost melting,

1273
02:48:14.319 --> 02:48:20.319
and in your lower back it seems to be an

1274
02:48:20.360 --> 02:48:34.559
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips,

1275
02:48:36.879 --> 02:48:44.680
sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

1276
02:48:44.879 --> 02:48:53.639
area where your cosis are, and into your buttocks, and

1277
02:48:53.760 --> 02:49:02.920
all those muscles that spread in your lower back into

1278
02:49:03.000 --> 02:49:16.479
your hip area start to melt, start to really let go.

1279
02:49:23.040 --> 02:49:28.000
I don't even know where about. To focus on your shoulders.

1280
02:49:29.760 --> 02:49:36.760
Your back and your spine will continue to let go,

1281
02:49:39.840 --> 02:49:55.440
continue to relax so calmly, and as you focus on

1282
02:49:55.600 --> 02:50:08.520
your shoulders, you may notice that already feeling really loose,

1283
02:50:13.680 --> 02:50:40.360
already feeding calm and fearing. Those muscles then move from

1284
02:50:40.440 --> 02:50:55.959
your neck into your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle,

1285
02:51:00.120 --> 02:51:21.639
so smooth and calm, and the feeding in your shoulders

1286
02:51:29.000 --> 02:51:37.520
seems to spread deep into your shoulders, that sense of relaxation,

1287
02:51:38.719 --> 02:51:50.200
not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing

1288
02:51:53.079 --> 02:52:02.959
the bones, moving all the way to underneath your arms,

1289
02:52:05.799 --> 02:52:11.719
relaxing a whole area between the tops of your shoulders

1290
02:52:13.079 --> 02:52:30.840
and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and

1291
02:52:31.079 --> 02:52:46.680
comfortable in your shoulders. Who sends that deep healing message

1292
02:52:52.040 --> 02:53:03.879
into your arms? You may feel almost as if your

1293
02:53:04.239 --> 02:53:13.520
arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed, so

1294
02:53:15.079 --> 02:54:00.600
deeply relaxed, so so calm, so poose, that feelings spreading

1295
02:54:03.399 --> 02:54:17.079
all the way down your arms, two elbows, including your

1296
02:54:17.239 --> 02:54:43.440
elbows circumforts spreads or away into your wrists, your forearments

1297
02:54:43.959 --> 02:54:59.360
and your wrists being so heavy. Yet at the same time,

1298
02:55:06.959 --> 02:56:07.399
sunlight and gentle fukusy now on your hands, my hands,

1299
02:56:13.719 --> 02:56:43.280
so peaceful in your hands, there's a sense of real peace.

1300
02:56:55.040 --> 02:57:08.799
It just seems to feel so familiar when your hands

1301
02:57:09.159 --> 02:58:17.000
relax deeply. Yes, your things, A thing is said, less

1302
02:58:46.159 --> 02:59:19.639
a thing, it's tips. Moving your attention to the front

1303
02:59:19.799 --> 02:59:50.600
of your body, so comfortable, moving your focus to your legs,

1304
03:01:09.639 --> 03:02:04.040
let musculs in your thighs, your knees, so relaxed, a

1305
03:02:04.319 --> 03:02:08.639
calf muscles, and just shins.

1306
03:02:11.799 --> 03:04:13.680
A puzzy day four and the faathing.

1307
03:04:14.799 --> 03:05:13.319
Your feet. Sir, peaceful, so calm, ser peaceful, so calm, sir, peaceful,

1308
03:05:17.040 --> 03:05:36.079
so calm, so peace fall RelA sin.

1309
03:05:41.200 --> 03:05:55.920
Peace fall, so calm, loving that.

1310
03:05:56.319 --> 03:06:16.959
Deep relaxation, des read your chest and stomach, letting go

1311
03:06:19.120 --> 03:06:38.000
of everything. So I'm gonna start counting down now from

1312
03:06:38.079 --> 03:06:46.760
twenty down to one. You can imagine in a way

1313
03:06:46.840 --> 03:06:52.920
it's like just walking down some steps and each step

1314
03:06:53.280 --> 03:06:59.479
or twenty steps, and each step represents a level of comfort.

1315
03:07:02.959 --> 03:07:18.360
Each step represents a deepening of that comfort, and the

1316
03:07:18.559 --> 03:07:24.280
firvies you walk down those steps that a deeper and

1317
03:07:24.479 --> 03:10:07.600
more relaxed you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen,

1318
03:11:23.120 --> 03:18:32.319
three FOURT four see too well FAA F nine night.

1319
03:19:31.959 --> 03:22:25.399
Seven USA DA five.

1320
03:23:44.200 --> 03:28:12.920
Four one. And now.

1321
03:28:17.360 --> 03:28:30.000
As you focus on your eyes, We're gonna count down

1322
03:28:30.399 --> 03:28:46.200
from ten tout one, focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids,

1323
03:28:46.639 --> 03:28:55.360
the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves, a

1324
03:28:55.600 --> 03:29:12.479
whole area that makes up your eye. And as we

1325
03:29:12.719 --> 03:29:21.280
count down from ten down to one, whilst focusing on

1326
03:29:21.440 --> 03:29:37.399
your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed with each number

1327
03:29:38.399 --> 03:29:50.000
counting down, and you may find the all you want

1328
03:29:50.120 --> 03:29:58.920
to do is just drift off to sleep. And if

1329
03:29:59.120 --> 03:30:12.600
that's what you want, then just allow yourself to do that. Now,

1330
03:30:15.559 --> 03:30:21.959
focusing on your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down

1331
03:30:23.479 --> 03:31:40.040
from ten down to one right now, ten nine eight

1332
03:32:00.239 --> 03:32:19.200
h u.

1333
03:32:33.440 --> 03:37:02.799
S h five four e three.

1334
03:38:03.920 --> 03:39:36.639
Two one.

1335
03:39:42.920 --> 03:39:59.559
So caunt down from ten to one ten nine eight

1336
03:40:02.399 --> 03:40:13.760
seven six five four three.

1337
03:40:16.360 --> 03:40:19.479
Two one.

1338
03:40:26.520 --> 03:40:29.399
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1339
03:40:29.479 --> 03:40:33.399
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1340
03:40:33.719 --> 03:40:43.440
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1341
03:40:43.479 --> 03:40:47.319
little bit of pressure there, Like you're counting down from

1342
03:40:47.399 --> 03:40:50.079
ten to one. Would you expect me to do man,

1343
03:40:51.000 --> 03:40:55.559
expect me to stick gold floppy just because you're counting down.

1344
03:41:01.159 --> 03:41:05.239
If you try again, but this time, I go this lower.

1345
03:41:07.479 --> 03:41:12.680
This time, as you focus on the whole of your body,

1346
03:41:13.920 --> 03:41:20.959
before we focus on your legs, just notice how your

1347
03:41:21.040 --> 03:41:35.399
body does start to feel more relaxed with every number

1348
03:41:36.399 --> 03:42:16.840
that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five

1349
03:42:27.280 --> 03:43:26.440
four three two one, And just notice how how you feel, generally,

1350
03:43:26.879 --> 03:43:41.200
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting

1351
03:43:41.319 --> 03:43:48.440
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

1352
03:43:49.799 --> 03:44:08.239
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

1353
03:44:13.000 --> 03:44:18.159
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,

1354
03:44:18.360 --> 03:44:24.959
not saying anything, nor needing to think about anything. So

1355
03:44:25.680 --> 03:44:28.680
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of

1356
03:44:28.760 --> 03:44:39.719
a space, a gap. And the more I cam down

1357
03:44:39.799 --> 03:44:47.159
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So

1358
03:44:47.280 --> 03:44:59.639
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

1359
03:44:59.760 --> 03:45:13.879
nic feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically

1360
03:45:14.040 --> 03:45:26.200
or emotionally, moves them away. Allows you.

1361
03:45:28.879 --> 03:45:29.399
To just.

1362
03:45:32.399 --> 03:45:39.120
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,

1363
03:45:39.559 --> 03:45:46.879
and notice that gap widening the gap.

1364
03:45:48.719 --> 03:45:49.159
And as it.

1365
03:45:49.239 --> 03:45:55.760
Widens, it's almost like the stress and attention falls into

1366
03:45:55.840 --> 03:46:16.360
the gap. It gives you that distance, that space now

1367
03:46:21.159 --> 03:48:10.959
ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four three two one.

1368
03:48:22.520 --> 03:48:42.639
And how does your body feel now? Can you notice

1369
03:48:42.920 --> 03:49:20.639
that do you feeling calmer, the feeling more relaxed, as

1370
03:49:20.680 --> 03:49:41.000
we now focus on your legs, just your legs, We're

1371
03:49:41.079 --> 03:50:00.959
just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

1372
03:50:01.079 --> 03:50:05.959
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because

1373
03:50:09.440 --> 03:50:12.079
I'm sure, like most of your body is not a

1374
03:50:12.200 --> 03:50:24.600
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

1375
03:50:24.719 --> 03:50:31.120
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

1376
03:50:31.280 --> 03:50:38.280
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,

1377
03:50:38.399 --> 03:50:43.280
and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh

1378
03:50:43.399 --> 03:50:52.159
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

1379
03:50:52.399 --> 03:51:06.440
your knee joint. Now, this is a big area. It's

1380
03:51:06.479 --> 03:51:11.920
a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the strongest

1381
03:51:12.959 --> 03:51:26.120
muscles in your body or in your thighs. But I

1382
03:51:26.200 --> 03:51:34.479
don't think we perhaps will give enough attention to our thighs.

1383
03:51:40.440 --> 03:51:51.200
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

1384
03:51:51.360 --> 03:52:12.000
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

1385
03:52:12.079 --> 03:52:22.520
through our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,

1386
03:52:22.639 --> 03:52:31.040
but I think that all of our body parts, especially

1387
03:52:31.120 --> 03:52:38.760
our thighs, needs some TLC, a bit of love shown,

1388
03:52:39.760 --> 03:52:58.479
a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for our thighs

1389
03:52:58.760 --> 03:53:07.600
do for us. And I know this may sound a

1390
03:53:07.680 --> 03:53:14.000
bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I sure how

1391
03:53:14.000 --> 03:53:16.760
I should be able in the garden hugging a tree

1392
03:53:16.959 --> 03:53:25.079
or something. Well, it's hard to set a microphone up

1393
03:53:25.120 --> 03:53:28.479
on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise

1394
03:53:28.520 --> 03:53:30.079
I would be outside hugging a tree.

1395
03:53:31.280 --> 03:53:32.200
Now I can't see the.

1396
03:53:32.200 --> 03:53:40.920
Television from the tree. If you move down to your

1397
03:53:41.000 --> 03:53:50.840
knees gain such an important part. And I think we

1398
03:53:50.959 --> 03:53:58.360
don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily

1399
03:53:58.440 --> 03:54:05.840
appreciate all that my needes do for me until I

1400
03:54:05.959 --> 03:54:09.319
have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if I

1401
03:54:09.360 --> 03:54:15.040
ever maybe i'll pash it, or it's aching for some reason.

1402
03:54:16.760 --> 03:54:22.959
It's then that I realize how much it does. You know,

1403
03:54:23.079 --> 03:54:29.000
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1404
03:54:30.799 --> 03:54:38.040
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's

1405
03:54:38.239 --> 03:54:46.639
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.

1406
03:54:50.719 --> 03:54:55.360
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how

1407
03:54:55.440 --> 03:55:02.920
your knees feel, you can have a sense of gratitude

1408
03:55:04.479 --> 03:55:07.040
and love to your knees for all that they do

1409
03:55:07.280 --> 03:55:20.239
for you. And you can still have that attention on

1410
03:55:20.399 --> 03:55:26.559
your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe

1411
03:55:26.879 --> 03:55:44.319
you've noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as you

1412
03:55:44.440 --> 03:55:49.639
focus now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins,

1413
03:55:50.559 --> 03:55:57.000
and your calf muscles, the bones between your knees and

1414
03:55:57.159 --> 03:56:10.319
your feet incorporate. Course, your ankles so important. You know,

1415
03:56:10.399 --> 03:56:15.159
anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain of an

1416
03:56:15.200 --> 03:56:23.319
ankle knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.

1417
03:56:29.239 --> 03:56:31.239
And it's kind of strange in a way when you

1418
03:56:31.319 --> 03:56:36.920
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot

1419
03:56:37.079 --> 03:56:41.920
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,

1420
03:56:42.000 --> 03:56:45.719
it doesn't I can't see any problem with that because

1421
03:56:45.719 --> 03:56:51.760
we're just picking stuff up. But our ankles so much

1422
03:56:52.040 --> 03:57:01.680
thinner than the rest of our legs, and from a

1423
03:57:01.799 --> 03:57:06.600
physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense

1424
03:57:08.000 --> 03:57:15.360
that all this weight would ultimately be resting on your

1425
03:57:15.440 --> 03:57:30.440
ankles then leading to your feet. That thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

1426
03:57:30.520 --> 03:57:36.239
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our

1427
03:57:36.319 --> 03:57:48.200
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps you

1428
03:57:48.360 --> 03:58:01.680
to get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1429
03:58:01.719 --> 03:58:09.319
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1430
03:58:09.399 --> 03:58:14.479
point in calf muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay,

1431
03:58:15.600 --> 03:58:19.120
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles

1432
03:58:19.159 --> 03:58:22.680
get some work. But of course that's not true. The

1433
03:58:22.799 --> 03:58:27.200
calf muscles are being used whenever we use our legs,

1434
03:58:32.799 --> 03:58:45.440
and your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped

1435
03:58:45.479 --> 03:58:50.159
in a way, almost as a protector for the bone,

1436
03:58:57.760 --> 03:59:09.680
leading of course to your ankles and your feet. But

1437
03:59:09.760 --> 03:59:11.680
we're not going to focus on your feet. We're just

1438
03:59:11.760 --> 03:59:18.200
going to focus on the legs. I realize, but now

1439
03:59:18.239 --> 03:59:22.840
that I've mentioned your feet, it probably focuses on them anyway,

1440
03:59:23.360 --> 03:59:25.920
So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.

1441
03:59:29.959 --> 03:59:34.360
You can have them in your awareness the same as

1442
03:59:34.479 --> 03:59:38.840
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

1443
03:59:38.959 --> 03:59:44.879
haven't been focusing on your thighs a few minutes, we've

1444
03:59:44.920 --> 03:59:55.840
been focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of

1445
03:59:59.040 --> 04:00:11.799
comfort in your thighs in this that movement of energy,

1446
04:00:13.879 --> 04:00:20.920
because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1447
04:00:21.000 --> 04:00:25.719
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1448
04:00:25.959 --> 04:00:39.280
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of

1449
04:00:39.360 --> 04:00:44.680
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1450
04:00:45.479 --> 04:00:57.040
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature.

1451
04:01:03.600 --> 04:01:11.120
And inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1452
04:01:11.200 --> 04:01:16.280
the blood, vessels, the arch trees, all this stuff that's

1453
04:01:16.559 --> 04:01:25.319
inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice if

1454
04:01:25.360 --> 04:01:30.200
you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs and

1455
04:01:30.319 --> 04:01:36.079
a message, so you can message on the outside, of course,

1456
04:01:36.920 --> 04:01:39.200
but to be able to get deep into the muscles

1457
04:01:40.120 --> 04:01:44.040
and to be able to just message inside your thighs,

1458
04:01:44.920 --> 04:01:53.319
message in the bones of your leg message in all

1459
04:01:53.440 --> 04:02:03.920
the veins, and just gently healing your thighs, and you

1460
04:02:04.000 --> 04:02:10.520
could move down message and inside your knees. It's a

1461
04:02:10.639 --> 04:02:17.360
message in those bones, but with healing fingertips spreading that

1462
04:02:17.760 --> 04:02:28.920
healing energy deep into the joints of your knees. Of course,

1463
04:02:29.000 --> 04:02:32.319
there's the back of your your knee, you know, the

1464
04:02:32.479 --> 04:02:39.479
inside crease where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area,

1465
04:02:41.479 --> 04:02:46.159
very feels very nice when you stroke it. That might

1466
04:02:46.239 --> 04:02:50.399
be because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

1467
04:02:52.440 --> 04:02:59.280
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.

1468
04:02:59.399 --> 04:03:00.200
It's almost.

1469
04:03:02.319 --> 04:03:06.920
Like a part that has a sensitivity, which is a

1470
04:03:06.959 --> 04:03:17.879
little bit different. Of course, it's protected by your legs,

1471
04:03:25.239 --> 04:03:29.479
So you can imagine putting your fingers into that crease

1472
04:03:30.360 --> 04:03:39.440
in your legs. Fold in between your legs, you can

1473
04:03:39.559 --> 04:03:45.079
just message with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips going inside,

1474
04:03:46.760 --> 04:03:54.840
massage in the muscle or tissue. You can of course

1475
04:03:55.000 --> 04:04:01.639
feel the bones of your knees doing through your fingertips.

1476
04:04:09.040 --> 04:04:14.360
And then as you go down to your calf muscles,

1477
04:04:14.760 --> 04:04:16.440
and that's the part I'd like to be able to

1478
04:04:17.280 --> 04:04:24.639
really put my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, massage

1479
04:04:24.760 --> 04:04:30.799
in every single tissue of that muscle.

1480
04:04:32.000 --> 04:04:33.799
Healing every part.

1481
04:04:39.799 --> 04:04:45.879
And then doing the same for my shins, massage in

1482
04:04:46.760 --> 04:04:53.680
gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a

1483
04:04:53.840 --> 04:05:00.959
loving way, because they deserve to be treated as the

1484
04:05:01.120 --> 04:05:05.040
precious bones that they are, because our legs are so

1485
04:05:05.280 --> 04:05:08.799
precious as in all the other parts of our body,

1486
04:05:11.280 --> 04:05:25.000
and more precious of any juel on the planet. When

1487
04:05:25.040 --> 04:05:33.000
when you start to think about your legs in this way,

1488
04:05:37.600 --> 04:05:40.399
it can change your perspective.

1489
04:05:43.159 --> 04:05:44.360
It might sound a bit.

1490
04:05:47.360 --> 04:05:51.600
A bit silly to start with the idea of having

1491
04:05:52.520 --> 04:06:02.520
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1492
04:06:02.639 --> 04:06:06.520
to be able to put your hands in your thighs

1493
04:06:08.520 --> 04:06:15.000
the massage the muscles and the bones, and to get

1494
04:06:15.000 --> 04:06:23.280
your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension. Just to

1495
04:06:23.479 --> 04:06:32.920
show how much you care about your legs, how much

1496
04:06:32.959 --> 04:06:38.639
you care for what your legs do for you regularly,

1497
04:06:41.079 --> 04:06:51.239
your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles,

1498
04:06:54.159 --> 04:06:58.879
considering how thin they are compared to the rest of

1499
04:06:58.959 --> 04:07:08.719
your legs. You ad thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible,

1500
04:07:12.479 --> 04:07:25.319
absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because

1501
04:07:25.360 --> 04:07:34.120
of what they do for you, supporting all that weight,

1502
04:07:36.120 --> 04:07:40.600
regardless of how what weight you are, even if you're

1503
04:07:40.639 --> 04:07:45.639
only eight stone, there's still a lot of weight for

1504
04:07:45.799 --> 04:07:52.479
these little ankles. Now, I'm a lot heavier than et

1505
04:07:52.559 --> 04:08:03.200
stone double back, yet my ankles support my body all

1506
04:08:03.280 --> 04:08:09.719
the time, or they do give off a sigh of

1507
04:08:09.840 --> 04:08:15.399
relief when I sit down. That's have my whole legs

1508
04:08:15.479 --> 04:08:26.040
though my feet feet also go, my toes clap. I'm

1509
04:08:26.079 --> 04:08:54.520
so happy. Your legs really are amazing, And I know

1510
04:08:55.280 --> 04:09:01.879
talking about talking about your legs is probably possibly among

1511
04:09:02.000 --> 04:09:06.319
the most most boring things I've ever heard anyone say

1512
04:09:07.239 --> 04:09:14.680
possibly or boring or not. Everything I said is true.

1513
04:09:17.159 --> 04:09:32.000
Your legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect,

1514
04:09:37.840 --> 04:09:50.159
they deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some

1515
04:09:50.360 --> 04:09:56.360
time out of the day to just let go completely.

1516
04:10:14.319 --> 04:10:32.159
The legs really can relax. And because the legs are

1517
04:10:32.319 --> 04:10:37.600
so such a most you know, very important part of

1518
04:10:37.719 --> 04:10:41.520
your body, and you relax your legs, the rest of

1519
04:10:41.600 --> 04:10:53.159
your body also naturally follows in that journey of comfort.

1520
04:11:01.280 --> 04:11:05.079
I can feel it in my hips. My hips feel

1521
04:11:05.799 --> 04:11:13.760
really loose, and also my lwer back as well. My

1522
04:11:13.959 --> 04:11:19.680
lower back really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm

1523
04:11:19.760 --> 04:11:26.000
just sitting in a chair and there's no stretching as

1524
04:11:26.040 --> 04:11:29.159
far as I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as

1525
04:11:29.159 --> 04:11:33.120
if the muscles are just relaxed so much that there

1526
04:11:33.200 --> 04:11:41.879
is a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.

1527
04:11:58.280 --> 04:12:01.799
And I'm now going to count down ten downs to one,

1528
04:12:06.120 --> 04:12:35.760
and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

1529
04:12:40.120 --> 04:12:40.680
Four.

1530
04:12:43.760 --> 04:13:08.559
Three two one relaxed. So I'm just going to count

1531
04:13:08.639 --> 04:13:13.680
down and fire down to one. And as I countdown,

1532
04:13:14.959 --> 04:13:19.680
if you just focus on the numbers, just the numbers

1533
04:13:21.360 --> 04:13:30.360
counting down, and notice how you feel in this moment

1534
04:13:32.120 --> 04:13:36.479
as you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those

1535
04:13:36.639 --> 04:13:49.719
numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer, not just in

1536
04:13:49.799 --> 04:13:58.159
your body, but also relaxing your mind. I'll just notice

1537
04:13:58.200 --> 04:14:04.239
how you feel. Nothing to do, there's nothing to say,

1538
04:14:04.920 --> 04:14:10.879
there's nothing to think about, starting with.

1539
04:14:12.319 --> 04:14:32.040
Number five, four, three.

1540
04:14:42.360 --> 04:15:09.879
Two one. As you notice the gradual letting go that

1541
04:15:10.040 --> 04:15:17.120
the tension in your body, you may also begin to

1542
04:15:17.399 --> 04:15:24.680
notice and be aware of how your mind is starting

1543
04:15:25.159 --> 04:15:33.120
to slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1544
04:15:35.760 --> 04:15:40.920
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1545
04:15:41.000 --> 04:15:46.920
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax.

1546
04:15:48.520 --> 04:15:52.159
And the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1547
04:15:52.280 --> 04:16:02.799
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that

1548
04:16:04.079 --> 04:16:11.959
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

1549
04:16:11.959 --> 04:16:18.920
if there's background sounds either your side online is still

1550
04:16:19.440 --> 04:16:24.719
going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got

1551
04:16:24.760 --> 04:16:29.920
the television on, there's no music in the background. Unless

1552
04:16:29.959 --> 04:16:37.360
you're listening to the recorded with music. Of course, you're

1553
04:16:37.520 --> 04:16:39.639
very likely not going to be sitting in a room

1554
04:16:39.719 --> 04:16:44.280
with other people. Of course you might be, but generally

1555
04:16:44.479 --> 04:16:47.559
it's more ideal if you can do this on your own,

1556
04:16:49.280 --> 04:16:59.360
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1557
04:17:05.920 --> 04:17:16.200
relaxation automatically rises, a sense of comfort starts to grow,

1558
04:17:20.719 --> 04:17:27.399
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1559
04:17:27.760 --> 04:17:39.559
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1560
04:17:39.719 --> 04:17:50.680
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost the sense

1561
04:17:50.799 --> 04:17:57.600
of relaxing completely happens really when you put no effort

1562
04:17:57.920 --> 04:18:01.799
into it. It's not some thing that you can really force.

1563
04:18:04.440 --> 04:18:13.840
It's something that happens naturally. And part of the process

1564
04:18:14.239 --> 04:18:25.440
of this recording and others is simply two allow you

1565
04:18:27.840 --> 04:18:38.639
to take advantage of this space, this time, to just

1566
04:18:42.840 --> 04:18:50.399
let go, to just be here, to be in tune

1567
04:18:54.120 --> 04:19:06.200
with how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting

1568
04:19:06.479 --> 04:19:18.559
to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending

1569
04:19:18.840 --> 04:19:25.040
on what it is that you wish for yourself in

1570
04:19:25.200 --> 04:19:41.319
this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority of

1571
04:19:41.440 --> 04:19:46.040
the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part

1572
04:19:46.280 --> 04:19:54.479
is the tiny bit of the end. The deeper relaxed

1573
04:19:54.840 --> 04:20:16.360
you become, the ease yeah, you find yourself drifting, You

1574
04:20:16.440 --> 04:20:23.440
can also if you choose, stay focused on my voice

1575
04:20:25.239 --> 04:20:56.680
and really enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle in

1576
04:20:56.840 --> 04:21:24.120
your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting

1577
04:21:24.319 --> 04:21:39.920
go completely. This time, I'm going to count from six

1578
04:21:40.959 --> 04:21:53.000
down to one, and you can notice your mind calming

1579
04:21:53.319 --> 04:22:05.840
down more with each number that you hear me say, naturally,

1580
04:22:06.920 --> 04:24:48.399
feeling calm, slow, beeaceful, six, five, four, three, two, four,

1581
04:25:09.600 --> 04:25:22.879
being aware how your mind to slowed right down, sinking

1582
04:25:25.520 --> 04:25:45.799
deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

1583
04:25:46.120 --> 04:25:50.879
you may notice that.

1584
04:25:52.840 --> 04:26:00.840
There are some thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts that,

1585
04:26:03.360 --> 04:26:04.600
for some reason.

1586
04:26:07.360 --> 04:26:17.159
Perhaps need your attention. That's what you can do is

1587
04:26:22.719 --> 04:26:30.520
send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts.

1588
04:26:34.639 --> 04:26:35.200
With love.

1589
04:26:36.920 --> 04:26:41.159
I all petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

1590
04:26:42.639 --> 04:26:50.799
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts.

1591
04:26:50.600 --> 04:26:51.000
Know that.

1592
04:26:53.200 --> 04:26:58.680
You're not abandon in them. You just need them, to

1593
04:26:58.879 --> 04:27:09.719
require them to just calm down, slow down, a quiet

1594
04:27:10.120 --> 04:27:26.040
down for now. So as you focus on those remaining thoughts,

1595
04:27:27.280 --> 04:27:31.360
as we count down this time from seven down to one.

1596
04:27:32.959 --> 04:27:47.000
With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

1597
04:27:48.600 --> 04:28:00.440
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just

1598
04:28:01.879 --> 04:28:16.920
melt away and relaxed deeply. With every number, those thoughts

1599
04:28:17.040 --> 04:30:43.680
would become more and more relaxed, starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, one,

1600
04:31:00.360 --> 04:31:17.280
And let you now notice how relaxed your feeling in

1601
04:31:17.479 --> 04:31:39.040
your body we're going to focus on your hands. Is

1602
04:31:39.120 --> 04:31:45.360
the more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your

1603
04:31:45.479 --> 04:31:47.399
body and mind.

1604
04:32:02.639 --> 04:32:02.920
And this.

1605
04:32:04.799 --> 04:32:14.920
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing

1606
04:32:15.440 --> 04:32:20.159
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or

1607
04:32:21.280 --> 04:32:31.200
dancing the fingers or anything like that. Mm hmmmm. It's

1608
04:32:31.479 --> 04:32:46.040
just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.

1609
04:33:00.719 --> 04:33:02.200
Because the more.

1610
04:33:04.080 --> 04:33:14.479
Relax your hands feel, the calm your mind feels, and

1611
04:33:14.799 --> 04:33:15.799
the more.

1612
04:33:18.360 --> 04:33:29.319
Comforts you feel throughout your body. And she.

1613
04:33:32.000 --> 04:33:34.720
May have.

1614
04:33:38.720 --> 04:34:17.759
Already noticed your mind is starting to dress like sense

1615
04:34:21.799 --> 04:34:36.439
just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to experience

1616
04:34:39.159 --> 04:34:46.599
a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands and

1617
04:34:46.840 --> 04:35:15.759
fingers more and more relaxed. Each number from eight down

1618
04:35:15.880 --> 04:35:28.680
to one, you can almost view that healing and relaxing

1619
04:35:29.200 --> 04:35:45.520
energy spreading into your hands and fingers becoming ye law.

1620
04:35:47.520 --> 04:36:05.119
Relaxing with each numbering down, lights down to.

1621
04:36:05.360 --> 04:36:21.319
One, tist in to wrist in again, starts to leave.

1622
04:36:25.680 --> 04:36:25.720
No.

1623
04:36:33.240 --> 04:40:27.639
Eight four, just being here now, nothing to think about,

1624
04:40:29.400 --> 04:40:40.639
nothing to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calm.

1625
04:40:45.599 --> 04:40:53.319
This is your natural state of being. This is how

1626
04:40:53.479 --> 04:41:01.360
you just normally feel when you take away up stop

1627
04:41:03.880 --> 04:41:12.959
that we add and I think that stress and worrying, thinking,

1628
04:41:15.919 --> 04:41:23.479
anxiety tens, just genuinely.

1629
04:41:23.279 --> 04:41:29.360
Thinking about stuff. You take that away, which is what

1630
04:41:29.520 --> 04:41:38.680
we do, what we do now we left.

1631
04:41:41.360 --> 04:41:49.880
A real sense of peacefulness which comes to you very

1632
04:41:50.000 --> 04:42:03.000
quickly because I wasn't relieve. It's just I feeling a

1633
04:42:03.279 --> 04:42:11.880
feeling of comfort, almost as if you've gone inside yourself

1634
04:42:11.919 --> 04:42:23.599
and you've found a special place where everything is peaceful,

1635
04:42:26.560 --> 04:42:31.919
a place where you can fill relaxed and you're natural

1636
04:42:34.040 --> 04:42:45.319
sense of comfort, a place where you be you, where

1637
04:42:45.400 --> 04:42:52.840
you can accept yourself who you are, a place where

1638
04:42:52.959 --> 04:43:03.799
you're trying to please anybody else ever, a place where.

1639
04:43:03.799 --> 04:43:04.680
You count.

1640
04:43:05.919 --> 04:43:14.639
Actually not just love yourself up. In some ways more importantly,

1641
04:43:15.279 --> 04:43:32.360
you can like yourself, appreciate who you are. That sense

1642
04:43:32.439 --> 04:43:46.560
of gratitude's in the air all around you. That's also

1643
04:43:46.720 --> 04:43:55.439
a place where you an actually deal the healing energy

1644
04:43:56.560 --> 04:44:10.000
soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into your body,

1645
04:44:14.959 --> 04:44:23.880
and the healing energy spreads through your veins, traveling to

1646
04:44:24.240 --> 04:44:36.279
each with every single part of your body. When you

1647
04:44:36.400 --> 04:44:43.360
start to realize that actually the healing energy it's not

1648
04:44:43.680 --> 04:44:51.119
just entered into your brain, it's become part of your brain,

1649
04:44:56.119 --> 04:45:02.720
and the spinal fluid is now mixed with your energy.

1650
04:45:07.959 --> 04:45:08.439
Not just.

1651
04:45:10.599 --> 04:45:18.639
Allow you to feel so much more relaxed unhealthy in

1652
04:45:18.840 --> 04:45:30.000
this moment, but also you start to realize that actually,

1653
04:45:32.520 --> 04:45:41.479
what's happening now with that human relaxing energy spreading through

1654
04:45:41.639 --> 04:45:54.479
your body, it's actually changing your life. It's actually changing

1655
04:45:54.560 --> 04:45:57.919
the way you're going to feel, not just now.

1656
04:46:00.119 --> 04:46:00.400
Longer.

1657
04:46:01.599 --> 04:46:10.639
In the next day, your health improves, not just your

1658
04:46:10.759 --> 04:46:19.119
physical health, but your mental health. Things that eastbove you

1659
04:46:19.319 --> 04:46:26.479
in the past for some reasons, no longer have the

1660
04:46:26.599 --> 04:46:36.479
effect that they used to because something's changed deep within you.

1661
04:46:41.560 --> 04:46:47.959
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1662
04:46:51.799 --> 04:47:01.919
no longer have that power to control you the way

1663
04:47:02.000 --> 04:47:11.080
they seem to be able to. Before you realize the

1664
04:47:11.279 --> 04:47:19.560
evil the one he decides what affects you.

1665
04:47:23.240 --> 04:47:25.279
