14
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.959
you very much. Today is Wednesday, the twenty third of

15
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:25.319
April two thy twenty five. It's currently seven minutes past

16
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.120
four pm. It's quite nice out there now. It was

17
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.079
a bit a bit rainy, bit bit of a rainy day,

18
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:40.079
but now it's quite nice. There's some noise and background

19
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.959
sound from music going from downstairs. I wanted to wait

20
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.599
till it's finished, but it's been going on for a

21
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.319
few hours now, so I'm going to just do the

22
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.359
recording anyway. Hopefully the microphone doesn't pick up too much

23
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.480
of it. It's not as loud as it was earlier,

24
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.280
so it should be fine. So what I'm going to

25
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:07.599
do is talk about I'm just going to talk about

26
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:17.280
how chronic pain can be reduced. So I'm all about

27
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:24.560
twenty scientific These are twenty scientifically supported insights into how

28
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:32.240
relaxation techniques and listening to soft speech can alleviate chronic pain.

29
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.919
There's now banging going on downstairs. If there's too much noise,

30
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.800
I will just do this without any music in the background.

31
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.520
But we'll see. I don't know what's going on down there,

32
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:50.759
so that they're rebuilding the place. So I'm just going

33
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.039
to go through this so and talk through the different

34
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.800
things I've found and give you my perspective on it,

35
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.400
because ultimately that's what this is. That's what everything I

36
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:10.159
do is. It's just me talking and hoping that by

37
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:17.199
listening to me yabbering on, I can help both distract

38
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:25.759
and also influence how you feel physically and emotionally in

39
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:31.960
a positive way. Whether it's the let me buoy you

40
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.680
to sleep, whether it's the whatever it is I'm doing

41
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.840
that is my hope. So this is kind of like

42
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.360
let me boy to sleep, but they not really focused

43
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:54.080
more on the chronic pain relief. So the first one

44
00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:01.759
is relaxation techniques reduce pain intensity out. I discovered this

45
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:09.039
myself back in two thousand and six when I used

46
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.879
to offer a free payment lease service in my local town.

47
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.680
And I'll be fair, I was I didn't. It wasn't

48
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.800
I didn't know what I was doing, but I was

49
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:27.959
quite new to doing it in person. I'd been studying

50
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.319
it since ninety nine, so two thousand and six it

51
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.639
was this seven years. Two thousand and six was the

52
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.759
first time I really got to sort of sit down

53
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.920
with another person, the human being, in the same room

54
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:52.199
and looking at ways to change how you feel. Now,

55
00:04:54.279 --> 00:05:05.240
I really to start with relied on relaxation techniques and

56
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:10.600
then moved into maybe a technique such as changing the

57
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.879
color or of the physical sensation, or you know, imagining

58
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.600
it coming out of the part of your body and

59
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.439
changing from different color to a different color, then to

60
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:26.839
a different color, maybe changing shape and maybe change into

61
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.879
ice and just letting it drop to the floor and

62
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:35.800
smashing and lots of different kinds of ways. But the relaxation.

63
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:41.160
Part of it was something that on its own, without

64
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:50.959
any kind of clever or even non clever technique, was

65
00:05:51.279 --> 00:06:04.079
enough to change how someone felt physically. No idea, what's

66
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.879
going on downstairs. It's gonna just a lot of banging.

67
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.079
I don't maybe you should putting up some furniture. You

68
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.079
don't know that it's possible. It's possible. You never know.

69
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.800
So I found in my just I couldn't really give

70
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:35.000
a percentage, like, but I knew what I felt, very definite.

71
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.920
And I used to have it on my website, you know,

72
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.720
back in that time, I used to have a website

73
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.759
called Free Pain Relief dot co dot uk. I don't

74
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:49.920
have it anymore, but I used to put relaxation reduces

75
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.959
chronic pain, like as simple as that, and I still

76
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:03.560
stick to that. It tends to do that. I think this.

77
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:14.519
I'm being distracted by the bloody drills. Now. You think,

78
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.920
if you're get a drill, use a power tool or

79
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.600
have loud music, don't do both, you know what I mean?

80
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:29.160
Do one or the other, not both. BlimE me. Uh

81
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.959
So we'll see how this goes. The music stopped, I

82
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.160
don't think they can hear me. Surely, No they wouldn't

83
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:47.480
be able to hear me. So I was thinking, that's

84
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:52.399
kind of how it goes, like relaxation. When someone feels relaxed,

85
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:59.759
it's not just your body that's feeling relaxed, it's your mind. See,

86
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:04.240
you and your body obviously is connected. So you can't

87
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.639
have a relaxed body unless the mind is relaxed, and

88
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.160
you can't have a relaxed mind unless your body is relaxed,

89
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:20.120
and each causes the other to relax more. I mean,

90
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:27.399
the opposite is also true. So one thing I never

91
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:33.559
really got into is breathing techniques, and the reason for

92
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:39.320
that is really simply because I was coming from a

93
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:46.799
perspective of extreme anxiety, like panic attacks and stuff like that,

94
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:54.720
and I tried relaxation techniques when I was going through

95
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.080
the panic stuff and it didn't help me. It made it.

96
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.799
It wasn't useful for me. I'm sure it's useful for

97
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.679
a lot of people, but for me, and the one

98
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.759
thing I didn't want to focus on was my breathing.

99
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:16.960
So I pretty much most of the time, I can

100
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:22.639
say during my career of it's not a career, is it,

101
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.600
But during my last nineteen years of doing this stuff,

102
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:32.000
I very rarely focused on breathing other than just commenting

103
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:39.759
on my own breathing reducing, like slowing down and deepening,

104
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.519
but naturally, you know, in its own way. Not I

105
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:52.360
don't generally try and control it because it calms down anyway.

106
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.600
And even now my breathing's deeper because I'm more relaxed

107
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.120
than what i was before I are doing a recording,

108
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:06.679
even though there's a lot of noise coming from downstairs.

109
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:16.480
Just by talking and by focusing on this what I'm

110
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:22.879
talking about, it has it's almost like I'm listening to myself.

111
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:29.440
So for you, it'd be even more beneficial because you're

112
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:34.840
not doing the talking. So you know, ideally, I mean,

113
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.360
unless you are just talking along and repeating everything I say,

114
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:44.720
which I can't imagine would be much fun. Maybe a

115
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.000
bit like that annoying kid at school, you know, just

116
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.399
walking around just repeating everything and stop repeating me, stop

117
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.200
repeating me, go away, go away. When I say that

118
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.600
annoying kid, I mean me. I used to do that.

119
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.360
I had two older brothers. I had no choice. It

120
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:06.759
was it was basically something I was born with. You know,

121
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.159
I was a kid. I was born and I had

122
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.679
these two brothers a lot bigger, a lot older than me.

123
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.600
And I said, it's not fair. I said, it's not

124
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.679
fair to my name. It's not fair. I can't what

125
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.480
im I supposed to do. They're bigger than me, They're

126
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.960
physically a lot bigger and stronger. How am I supposed

127
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.679
to match up to them when it comes to arguments?

128
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.240
And she said, oh, but Grandson, something, you forget the

129
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.360
magic power you have being the smallest. I said, what

130
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:44.000
she said, you get to annoy them constantly. I thought, yeah,

131
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:52.720
she said, use your words carelessly, like wow. She was

132
00:11:52.720 --> 00:12:01.679
a bit like Jedi, but not as tall. When I

133
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.279
say Jedi, I'm tall about Ewok? What's the ewok? The

134
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:12.440
Ewok that taught Luke Skywalker how to dance? I forget

135
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:23.960
his name anyway, So breathing Kain, I mean, I just

136
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.200
think that's a bit weird. When I got learned to

137
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:32.480
meditate back in two thousand and two onwards for quite

138
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:36.720
a few years, so I do incorporate meditation techniques that

139
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:41.879
I've learned in what I do. I always find it,

140
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.480
I always found a little bit amusing when the meditation

141
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:49.759
teachers say they don't forget to breathe I've never once

142
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.279
forgotten to brief my whole life, fifty four years. I've

143
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.360
never forgotten to brieth. I never had to remember to

144
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:01.000
brieve because it's a natural thing. But I've never got

145
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.799
you in the end of the day and thought I

146
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:12.000
forgot to breathe today, damn it. So yeah, I think

147
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.440
breathing it's because it's a natural thing. Focus on in it,

148
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:22.240
focus in on it for me made it a bit weird,

149
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:27.399
but it's whatever you like to do. I mean, I

150
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:32.039
can focus on my breathing now because it has slowed

151
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:37.360
down and because it feels relaxed. But if I was

152
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.360
focusing on it when it was, it wasn't. But if

153
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.679
it was sort of a bit too accentuated, a bit

154
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:49.399
too fast, I would, well, I'd be focusing on what

155
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:54.279
it was, not what it could be potentially. Now I'm

156
00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:00.360
focusing on what it is how it is now, and

157
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:09.639
it's slow, rhythmic, deep, and it might get more relaxed,

158
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.600
but I kind of don't care if it does or

159
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:19.639
if it doesn't. I do expect it to become more relaxed,

160
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:32.279
but it's okay whatever happens, you know. So relaxation can

161
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:36.639
significantly signific I can't even say the words significantly today,

162
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:48.200
reduce physical intensity, you know, other outcomes. I mean, for me,

163
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:55.279
anxiety was the reason why I started meditating and why

164
00:14:55.399 --> 00:15:02.440
I learned try to learn different relaxation techniques. There was

165
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.759
no other reason. That was the main reason for me.

166
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.600
I do have chronic pain issues in my lower back

167
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:12.120
now from arthritis. I didn't have that back then, so

168
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:16.639
it was never really an issue. So yeah, I was

169
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:21.159
interested in helping people with chronic pain right from the

170
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:26.159
late nineties because I thought when I started first started

171
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:32.399
learning hypnosis, that's the only two things that really jumped

172
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:38.240
out at me was relaxation and chronic pain relief. But

173
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.000
chronic pain relief was the biggest one out of the two,

174
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:46.720
which I mean, really, there's this They're two too connected

175
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.440
to not be the same thing. Really, relaxation is pain relief,

176
00:15:54.840 --> 00:16:00.279
and pain relief doesn't really happen without relaxation. You can

177
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.200
get distraction, but there's still a degree of relaxation when

178
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:08.720
you're distracted. So you can watch a really good movie,

179
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:13.519
even if it's like a tense thriller or something, you're

180
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.720
still you may be focusing on one thing, but you're

181
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.720
you're not focusing on the part of your body that

182
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:27.159
maybe you were focusing on before. And I think it's

183
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.480
kind of one of those weird things, is like it

184
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.799
just goes back to its normal level of focus instead

185
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:38.679
of I think sometimes with my lower back in the past,

186
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.000
when it's if it's like fifty percent, I'm giving it

187
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:50.080
fifty percent focus. It's fifty percent attention. It's not really

188
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:58.600
a problem even eighty ninety percent. I don't think that's

189
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:05.720
the problem. Even at hundred percent, it's discomfort. I My

190
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:11.319
perspective is chronic pain is a problem when it goes

191
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:16.160
above one hundred percent. The intensities are higher than that,

192
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:18.799
so it's not like zero to ten. Really, it's like

193
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:23.480
zero to ten, ten plus one plus two plus three

194
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:28.880
twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, so it's eighteen

195
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.279
out of ten, you know what I mean. It's like,

196
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:37.000
so it's gone over the edge, and when we're distracted

197
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.119
sometimes it just goes back. It can go back to

198
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.559
its normal level because not getting that attention that we

199
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:53.039
were given it before. You know it. It's the old thing,

200
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:58.279
isn't it. Sort Of if you're in a passenger in

201
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.759
a car and you'll play a game like who can

202
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.000
spot a red car, or who can spot a mini?

203
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:07.599
Who can spot a white van? Who can you know?

204
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.799
Or it can be as obscure as you want, and

205
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.960
before you know it, you're seeing nothing but what you're

206
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:18.480
looking for, because that's what you're noticing, that's what you're

207
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:25.599
aware of, that's what your complete focus is on. And

208
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:34.200
without going into talking about physical adult enjoyment between two adults,

209
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.319
that's also part of the reason why that can be

210
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:45.160
enjoyable with two adults together, whether it's holding the hands, kissing,

211
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.720
or just just cuddling or being together, there's a sense

212
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:58.519
of heightened pleasure because it's a real focus. But I'm

213
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:02.119
pretty sure that would be different in a different situation.

214
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:09.000
So you can be on a first date and you've

215
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.839
gone back to one of each other's apartments, or maybe

216
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.799
you're sitting in a cinema and your legs are touching

217
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.240
just your legs, now other part of your body, maybe

218
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:25.200
your shoulders. Maybe you've got a bus home because you

219
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.240
didn't want to pay out for a taxi just in

220
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:34.480
case it didn't go well, that's terrible, But just that

221
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:39.599
human contact of your shoulder or your knee against their

222
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:46.079
knee because you're noticing it, maybe they're noticing it. I

223
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:58.400
don't know. It feels more physically, that sensation, that physical

224
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:05.720
feeling is heightened, like to a much higher level. So

225
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.319
but if that was just you know, once you've been

226
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:13.720
dating a while, or you know, if you were just

227
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.640
sitting having a conversation with someone else and your legs

228
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.200
and even if you completely love the person, but you're

229
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:24.160
talking to someone else, you're not going to have that

230
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:28.359
feeling because you're focusing on what you're doing there. And

231
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:33.440
maybe during a movie and the movie starts, and when

232
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.119
you focus on the movie, that physical feeling reduces a bit,

233
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.079
and then you're focus on it and you get it right,

234
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.880
it arouses, that feeling arouses I'm trying to be careful

235
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:52.640
with the word arouses, but now thinking of arousing stuff,

236
00:20:52.720 --> 00:21:00.799
so I'll stop. So I think maybe with the physical comfort,

237
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.680
it is because that's teend to go like zero to ten?

238
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:12.400
Where is it? But actually I think ten is still manageable.

239
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:15.880
I don't think ten is the problem. It's when it

240
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:22.880
goes above ten that's when it's a problem. In my

241
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:27.039
perspective of looking at the gauge, obviously if it's only

242
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.839
between zero and ten, and ten is the highest. But

243
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.039
I think that's that's not what happens with It's the

244
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.759
same with relaxation. It goes down to zero, but zero

245
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:43.119
is just feeling relaxed. But when you feel really relaxed,

246
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:48.640
that's way below ten. That way below zero. Sorry, that's

247
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:54.240
minus minus minus minus minus five, minus six minus seven,

248
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.599
complete comfort where you almost feel like you're floating and

249
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:04.799
your heavy at the same time, maybe like that body

250
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.640
parts not even there. So instead of feeling calm and

251
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.240
comfortable and like a zero, which would be just like

252
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:16.240
maybe it feels exactly how the rest of your body feels,

253
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.799
you go below that, it might feel way more relaxed

254
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.799
than the rest of your body. It might feel like

255
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:27.480
almost there's a breeze blowing through that part of your

256
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:32.200
body as it goes minus three minus four, minus five,

257
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:35.640
and the rest of your body of course will follow

258
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.559
because that's just a natural thing to do. But that

259
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.680
part seems to be as you're focusing on it seems

260
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:50.880
to be much more reduced, much more relaxed than just

261
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:56.240
being a zero. And it can go down. There's no ending, really,

262
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:03.079
it's an endless drop. It's an endless feeling of comfort.

263
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:05.160
I guess you can put your own number on what

264
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:10.160
it is, whether it's minus twelve, minus thirty, minus one hundred,

265
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:16.359
were just it goes beyond a feeling anymore. It's almost

266
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:20.839
it may almost feel spiritual. You know, everyone's got their

267
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:26.519
own idea of what that is. But it's very calming.

268
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.759
And as you go down, you also feel that in

269
00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:36.119
your mind as well as your mind not only slows

270
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:39.119
down as it goes down from like ten down to zero,

271
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:46.920
your mind slows down and then your mind empties, and

272
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:55.000
then when you go below zero, it's something else happens.

273
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:03.119
Is your mind switched off. Perhaps you'll get in that

274
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:08.559
feeling of pleasure in your mind that you would get

275
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:15.680
from years of meditating, something that maybe it could take

276
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.400
someone a long time to, you know, through meditation to

277
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.799
get to this point. But you've got to this point

278
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:28.559
because you've just allowed yourself to relax, because ultimately you're

279
00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:33.640
not trying to get anything for it, because sometimes with

280
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:40.680
meditation it can be almost an achievement to I don't know,

281
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.680
like trying to get something. Not everyone, not everywhere, not

282
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:50.279
every meditation technique, but you know, whether it's trying to

283
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:56.039
create loving kindness towards other people, whether it's trying to

284
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.720
calm your breath or calm your mind, to relax your body,

285
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:06.440
whether it's just focusing on Now, there's a degree of

286
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:13.400
focus with meditation, but this goes beyond focus. It's almost

287
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:19.079
when it goes below zero, it's kind of like there's

288
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:23.559
no focus anymore. In a way it might seem weird,

289
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:26.079
it's almost like you've given me the focus to take

290
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:33.119
care of and you're just left, just gone down, and

291
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.480
you're relaxed, and you're calm, and you're peaceful, and you

292
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:41.079
don't need anything at all. You know that you're safe,

293
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:46.000
you know that you're healthy, you know you're fine, and

294
00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:49.440
you can just allow yourself and the rest of your

295
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:53.680
body to catch up if you want to, or you

296
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:59.880
may just enjoy having this feeling without any expectations whatsoever,

297
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:05.119
nothing that you need to do, nothing that you need

298
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:11.400
to say or think. You just are in this moment,

299
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:18.240
how you are, without any judgment, any opinions. So yeah,

300
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:26.839
it can be quite nice. So listening to soft sounds

301
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:34.079
it's really good for the brain, whether it's listening to

302
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:43.960
me just talking, whether it's listening to soft music. It's

303
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:50.039
all about engaging your brain regions which are associated with

304
00:26:50.079 --> 00:27:00.640
that physical sensation modulation that part of your brain really

305
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:08.119
just your system, the various nerves in your body helps

306
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:13.720
to just calm everything down. It's almost, I think, with

307
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:21.599
something very powerful about sound, whether it's a soft voice,

308
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:30.640
whether you're taking in positive words or positive ideas that

309
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.960
are actually soaking into your mind and your body. But

310
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:41.599
whether it's music, it seems to reach more than just

311
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:46.680
your ears. It's almost like the music or the sound

312
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:52.119
or the voice is physically reaching the parts of your body,

313
00:27:54.559 --> 00:28:01.359
which I think is quite nice. I mean, studies have

314
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:07.200
been done where demonstrations, yeah, demonstrations have been done where

315
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:13.799
twelve week program incorporated singing and breathing exercises can improve

316
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:21.319
how someone feels an overall well being with people with

317
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:26.640
physical issues, and then you've got I mean, it's a

318
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:33.079
fine line really with like guided imagery. Guided imagery is

319
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:39.319
pretty much taken from hypnosis. They call it guided imagery

320
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:42.880
because not everyone liked the idea of hypnosis in the past.

321
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:52.079
But visualizing something is when you don't need hypnosis to

322
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.279
do this, and I think that's what it is. People,

323
00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.599
you know thirty forty years ago whenever they started doing

324
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:05.519
Guy did Imagery, realize that just by imagining yourself being

325
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:10.240
in a place like a calm place, some people that

326
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:14.920
would be lying on a beach listening to the waves

327
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:19.920
on the shore. Other people that might be lying in

328
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:23.839
the tent with the rain falling on a tent and

329
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:29.559
making that lovely sound. And it could be different for everyone.

330
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:35.880
Some people that could be cycling in the mountains. You know,

331
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:47.880
everyone's different. And by imagining these visual mental experiences and

332
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:53.880
the more vivid they are, your mind doesn't seem to

333
00:29:54.079 --> 00:30:00.000
know the difference between what you're thinking and what's really

334
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:09.720
happening as far as how it responds. And sometimes it

335
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:16.440
can be nice just to close your eyes and just

336
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:23.839
imagine yourself relaxing, imagine yourself feeling really really calm, Imagine

337
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:32.279
your body just melting away, and then you've got progressive

338
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:38.519
muscle relaxation PMR. I'm not really good with the whole

339
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:42.039
PMR and whatever, I just say the whole word. It's

340
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:48.559
easy for me. And this is something that is that

341
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:54.599
I kind of started doing many years ago. It's just

342
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:59.039
the standard kind of start out really focusing, and there's

343
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.039
two different ways of doing it, I would splicebly more

344
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:05.839
than two ways. But you can do a body scan

345
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:10.160
where you focus on the different parts of your body

346
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.720
without doing anything, just you know, focusing on your forehead,

347
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:22.039
focusing on your eyes, focusing on your jaw, not trying

348
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.559
to relax your forehead, not trying to relax your eyes

349
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:32.680
and not trying to relax your jaw. Focusing on the

350
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:38.240
back of your neck, your shoulders, but not trying to

351
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:44.319
relax the back of your neck or your shoulders, and

352
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:56.240
your arms, your hands, your fingers, your legs, feet, toes, chest, stomach,

353
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.720
and back, not trying to relax all those parts, but

354
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:08.480
being aware of them, just noticing them. So that's a

355
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:16.000
little bit different from the progressive muscle relaxation. And I

356
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.519
learned actually the progressive muscle relaxation from an audio I

357
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:25.079
used to listen to in about nineteen ninety nine or

358
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:29.759
ninety eight, and it was a meditation, but it was

359
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:36.240
also there was a muscle relaxation part of it. And

360
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:40.200
I like that because back in them days I was

361
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.759
a little bit I wasn't I wasn't the most relaxed

362
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:51.799
person in my twenties. So I used to just listen

363
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:57.440
to this guided relaxation session. And I used to enjoy

364
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:02.839
the progressive muscle relaxation starting from my head going all

365
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:06.440
the way down, and it was it was easier about

366
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:09.559
then because I had some muscles as well. I mean,

367
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:13.599
I don't know if they can do progressive fatty tissue

368
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:19.640
relaxation for people like me, but I find it helps.

369
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:24.440
You can do both as long as you're careful with it.

370
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:29.440
You know, don't it's because what I mean is if

371
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:33.119
you can tense the muscles and just let it go,

372
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.319
or you don't even have to do that. You can

373
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:41.000
just focus on a part of your body. So if

374
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:44.400
there's a part maybe that's injured, then just focus on it.

375
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:49.319
There's no tense or tension or anything like that. It required.

376
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.559
But then you can focus on the different parts of

377
00:33:53.599 --> 00:34:01.799
your body and instead of actually just saying to yourself

378
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:06.200
or thinking to yourself, don't try and change it. Just

379
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:09.800
allow it to be how it is, which in itself

380
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:20.320
creates relaxation. You can be a bit more proactive and say, well, okay,

381
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:31.360
I'd like my eyes to relax more, and your jaw

382
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:44.360
is relaxing more, your forehead relaxes more, the back of

383
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:53.079
your neck and your shoulders relaxes more. The whole of

384
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:56.360
your back from the top of your back all the

385
00:34:56.400 --> 00:35:04.159
way down to your lower back relaxes more. Your chest

386
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:16.000
and your stomach relaxes more. Your arms, hands and fingers

387
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:28.599
relaxes more. Your hips, your buttocks, and your groin relaxes more.

388
00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:40.480
Your thighs, knees, calfs, shins, your ankles, feet and toes

389
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:48.679
relaxes more. So that's kind of something that I might

390
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:57.440
have done. And it's pretty much a suggestion. You could

391
00:35:57.480 --> 00:35:59.920
do it. You could just say I'd like my whole

392
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:04.559
body or my whole body is going to relax. You

393
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:09.119
can do it as a question, please relax my whole body,

394
00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:18.400
Please slow down your mind, see whatever, and you can

395
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:24.280
just ask your brain to do this for you. And

396
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:28.559
it's not like you're asking for anything weird. You're asking

397
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:32.440
for things that are good for you. You're asking for

398
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:40.679
things that are useful for you. So these other things

399
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:49.599
mindfulness based stress reduction. So there's something quite I've learned

400
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:53.239
this as well. I actually went on a course once.

401
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:01.519
It was a meditation, mindful based, mindful illness based chronic

402
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:05.639
pain relief course, and it was about teaching people but

403
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:09.440
also for people with chronic pain as well. And it

404
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:15.199
was all based on mindfulness and that meditation, and it

405
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:18.199
was part of a Buddhist It was coming up from

406
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:26.599
a Buddhist perspective, but not just for Buddhists, so it

407
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:33.679
was incorporated meditation. This it didn't have any yoga. I

408
00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:46.000
tried jog at once, and I didn't realize that being

409
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:51.400
stretched out on a floor and bending over in a

410
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:58.320
room full of other people, it really didn't I underestimated

411
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:02.719
the amount of noise my bum would I did, I

412
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:09.880
let out some wind and weirdly enough, because it was

413
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:11.960
quite a small room, there wasn't a lot of air

414
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:16.599
in there. There was no windows. It wasn't as funny

415
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:23.840
as you'd imagine. And my little idea of maybe we

416
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:27.440
never know, I mean, I go to I go to yoga,

417
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.360
I might because there was a few people that I knew,

418
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:33.519
you never might get to talk to them go through

419
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:40.079
tea or coffee afterwards. Yeah, that option wasn't available after that.

420
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:44.800
In fact, I had to move town. I had to move.

421
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:48.960
But other than that, it's good. But I didn't, you know,

422
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:56.079
Yoga's wasn't really for my body or my bum. But

423
00:38:56.159 --> 00:39:00.559
the meditation very much. I mean, yoga is meditation, it's

424
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:12.639
just physically it's a physical meditation. So it's with the

425
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:21.760
mindfulness based thing, very much focused on just being in

426
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:26.360
the moment, but also realizing that you can focus on

427
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:31.280
your whole body instead of just focusing on one part

428
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:37.000
of your body or you know, those parts that maybe

429
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:44.360
you've not felt very kindly towards. And there's also a

430
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:48.079
little you know, there's something to be said for making

431
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:55.239
friends with your body, being grateful, saying thank you to

432
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:58.239
the different parts of your body for everything they do

433
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:02.639
for you. Because this face that our bodies are pretty amazing.

434
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:06.880
I mean, mine doesn't look very amazing anymore, but I'm

435
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:08.880
not sure if it ever really did, but it's still

436
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:19.519
amazing what it does. So there's something about saying thank

437
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:26.599
you or making friends because it can seem I'm pretty sure.

438
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.920
I mean, there has been times in the past Vinnie's

439
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.639
trying to get my attention if I ignore him or

440
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:39.480
stop hopefully, there were times when my lower back when

441
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:41.719
I did not like, I did not like that part

442
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:45.960
of my body, did you hear Can you hear him going?

443
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:50.840
That's Vinny? So he's at the side of me because

444
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:54.119
I'm not looking at him. If I looked at him

445
00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:56.519
and start jumping up at me, because I'm not looking

446
00:40:56.519 --> 00:41:00.000
at him, he's thinking how can I get hold of him?

447
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:03.440
It's just like he's not hearing me what's going on.

448
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:12.559
So with the I've kind of felt that I had

449
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:15.000
to I needed to make friends with my lower back

450
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:20.960
because it seemed to be turning into an enemy and

451
00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:24.880
that's not a good it's not a good way to

452
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:32.400
view a part of your body. And my hostility towards

453
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:37.760
my lower back seemed to be mirroring towards me. So

454
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:44.840
when I started to think kindly towards my lower back especially,

455
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.320
you know, in a sense of all it does for me,

456
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:51.599
all it has done for me for over a half

457
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:55.639
a century, you know, it's done a pretty good job,

458
00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:06.840
done a very good job, and that hostility reduced and

459
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:12.360
in them in the same way, the physical sensations change

460
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:24.440
as well, so you've got different guided relaxation. There's different

461
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:29.559
things you can do. I mean, there's these biofeedback machines

462
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:37.440
where you can actually control your pulse rate and you

463
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:41.239
can control things by seeing it. If you see the number,

464
00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:44.559
you know, pulse rate weather, just by focusing on it

465
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:49.079
going down. It can go down. It's pretty powerful stuff.

466
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:53.639
So we do have a lot more control over some

467
00:42:53.719 --> 00:43:02.400
of those automatic things. And once we the automatic system,

468
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:06.639
that part of our brain and body that does its thing,

469
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:09.320
if we let it know that maybe you would like

470
00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:21.039
more comfort, more relaxation, a more peaceful mind, a slow

471
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:27.039
down thoughts, then it maybe it will listen and give

472
00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:32.239
that to you. I tell you what I like to do.

473
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:36.079
I like to think this way is when I talk

474
00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:42.840
to people, it's not just your mind and talking to

475
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:48.679
it's also your body, and your body hears my words

476
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.599
your body. Maybe it's not the word so much. Maybe

477
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:56.519
it's the tone. Maybe it's because there are vibrations that

478
00:43:56.599 --> 00:44:02.280
go through and you know, through the air with sound

479
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:04.960
and there obviously I said a word obviously there twice

480
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:13.760
for some reason, but obviously and perhaps that's what it is,

481
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:19.159
that vibration that travels not just to your ears, but

482
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:22.320
also to the different parts of your body. And because

483
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:30.280
it's positive words, it has a positive effect on the

484
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:34.920
different parts of your body. And because we've been talking

485
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:44.199
about relaxing and all that stuff, it's kind of it

486
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:47.239
would be difficult. I think it'd be quite difficult not

487
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:52.559
to relax, you know, if you talk about and you

488
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.000
know what else, I noticed that I feel more relaxed

489
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:04.920
and my lower back feels more relaxed, even though the

490
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.440
only time I focus on my lower back is when

491
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:14.360
I mention it. The rest of the time, I'm focusing

492
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:18.119
on what I'm saying or I'm focusing you know, if

493
00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:21.239
I talk about my eyes, or if I talk about

494
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:31.719
relaxing your feet, I'm focusing on my feet. So there's

495
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:37.280
lots of different ways. I think in a way, the

496
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:43.480
more often we think about something, it changes the neural pathways.

497
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:47.039
I mean, this is just a just a scientific fact.

498
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:57.199
So the more you imagine the let's say, listening to me, well,

499
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:00.000
the more often you listen to me, the more relaxed

500
00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:04.480
you feel, and the more comfort you feel. And then

501
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:06.960
the more often you listen to me, it's like you're

502
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:12.440
you're kind of cutting your way through a through a forest,

503
00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:17.760
you know, and making the pathway to the point where

504
00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:23.800
it's so clear and you can get to where you

505
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:27.800
want to go really quickly. You can go from where

506
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:30.239
you are to feeling or where you were to feeling

507
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:36.639
completely relaxed where you are now in an instant because

508
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:40.480
you've made that pathway, and each way, each time you

509
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:46.559
travel that pathway, it gets wider, the ground gets more

510
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:50.840
trampled down, so and you get to see more things,

511
00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:58.159
to the point where it's almost huge pathway, really wide,

512
00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:01.760
really just it's great. So that seems to be the

513
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:08.199
way it is with the brain, with neural pathways. So

514
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:10.679
it's quite nice. I quite like the idea of that.

515
00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:17.079
I mean, it is how it works. But isn't it

516
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:23.760
nice to know that there's some benefit to putting up

517
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:28.480
with me waffling on, because you know, it's like, I know,

518
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:32.320
some people maybe think, what, who is this bloke? He

519
00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:35.400
just keeps talking. I don't know what he's talking about.

520
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:40.079
He's just talking about stuff. But when you think that

521
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:47.159
it's actually helping, it's beneficial and it's useful, it's not

522
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:51.199
so bad, not so bad. In fact, it's probably better

523
00:47:51.239 --> 00:48:00.639
than that. I've actually started listening to my own recordings recently, relaxing.

524
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:05.079
It's weird. I mean, I know, you think, well, yeah,

525
00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:08.840
surely you should know it's relaxing. Yeah, I mean I

526
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:12.480
listen occasionally anyway, because it's I have to do when

527
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:15.519
I'm doing the editing, and every now and then I

528
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:18.159
listen just to sort of see where the vibe is

529
00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:23.280
and how I am and how I sound. But I've

530
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:26.639
been listening probably a few times a week now to

531
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:33.320
the different recordings and always felt I always fall asleep,

532
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:44.599
always feel relaxed. Yeah, anyway, that's the end of this.

533
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:48.280
Let me boil your pain away. It's been a little

534
00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:50.559
bit different from some of the others. Everything I do

535
00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:54.840
is going to be different. It's I think it's been

536
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:58.199
a little bit more focused, and sometimes how I do stuff,

537
00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:05.440
it's almost felt a little bit like a relaxation session,

538
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:09.239
which it wasn't supposed to be. I mean, it's good.

539
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:11.719
I always I like to think that everything I do

540
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:20.679
is ultimately a relaxation session. But this, yeah, it's felt nice.

541
00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:24.719
I feel relaxed, I feel calm. I hope that you

542
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:31.119
do too. Maybe let me know how you feel. So

543
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:35.920
I'm going to go now. Thank you for listening. Remember

544
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:39.519
to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to

545
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:47.960
be happy, and be gentle with yourself because you deserve

546
00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:55.840
to feel safe. Lots of love. Bye,
