(no music) (10 hours) Q&A Friday | LMBYTS #1429 | Jason Newland | 5th September 2025 · Let me bore you to sleep (Jason Newland)

0:01
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Let Me Boy to Sleep. Yeah,
0:09
my name's Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can
0:14
safely close your eyes. I'm using a different microphone yesterday
0:21
because it sounded a little bit echoy, but I'm starting
0:25
to think it's standing a little bit echoing now because
0:30
I've removed the bookcases m which is a bit weird.
0:43
I hope it's okay. So yeah, this is Let Me
0:48
Boy to Sleep Q and a Friday time. So oh,
1:00
before I continue, let me just give you an update
1:03
on what's going on. I did a recording yesterday saying
1:06
that I had retired from making hypnosis recordings and I
1:11
am going to be focusing solely on these let Me
1:16
Boy You to Sleep recordings, and that is still the
1:21
case today. So I'm in the process of transferring things
1:29
over now. I'm not going to delete. I'm not going
1:33
to get rid of all the old recordings because there's
1:38
thousands and it'd be a shame to lose them all.
1:42
So what I'm going to do what I've already started
1:46
to do what I'm being and make a bit more noise.
1:54
Speaker 2: Please.
1:56
Speaker 1: So I've also retired to Jasonneuland dot com, so that
2:00
website's gone, but I do have a new website called
2:03
let Me Bore You Too Sleep dot com Original and
2:09
now and now so but on that website there is
2:21
going to be if you go on there, I mean,
2:23
it's not fully built yet, but at the moment you
2:29
can catch up on all the latest recordings. So if
2:33
you click on there, there's a player which you can
2:36
just press play in whichever one you want, and all
2:38
the latest recordings that let Me Boy You to Sleep
2:41
are on there. Now. It's going to take a while
2:47
for the internet to catch up with what I'm doing,
2:52
and I'm very likely going to lose a lot of
2:54
listeners along the way because now that I'm focusing on
2:59
just one thing, and you know, but hopefully those that
3:04
do enjoy listening to what I do on here will
3:09
continue to listen. So the Letmeboydosleep dot Com I've got
3:15
on there. Welcome to my long running relaxation podcast. After
3:20
many years as a hypnotherapist, I'm now retired from hypnosis
3:24
and will be concentrating solely on creating new episodes of
3:27
Let Me Boy to Sleep, which is literally what I
3:30
just said. All of my archived hypnosis recordings remain available
3:35
here alongside the latest sessions and designed to help you relax,
3:41
somewhine and drift into sleep. Only listen when you can
3:44
safely close your eyes. And underneath there there is a
3:49
player where you can listen to all the latest recordings.
3:55
And yeah, so that's that's pretty cool. What I will
4:01
do is underneath that, I will have the Yeah, I
4:13
will have playlists by fifties or maybe one hundreds of
4:19
maybe fifties, so you can but let Me Boy to Sleep.
4:23
It's not at the moment, but I will have that
4:25
where you can just click on it and it will
4:30
give you a list of all the latest let Me
4:35
Boy to Sleep recordings which you can then download. So,
4:41
for example, I'm only up to two hundred and seventy
4:46
one on the let Me Boy to Sleep, But you
4:49
can click on that, you know, on the website, and
4:53
then you can add to kart check out and download
5:08
for free. It's free, free, I tell you.
5:14
Speaker 2: So.
5:14
Speaker 1: There's no charge for any of the recordings. Also, there's
5:18
no charge for any of the hypnosis stuff either. It's
5:20
all free. And this it's going to take a little while,
5:26
so please, you know, bear with me while I do it.
5:29
But the latest recordings will be available on that website. Also,
5:34
the podcast is still going to be to let Me Boy.
5:37
The Sleep podcast is still going to be available, but
5:43
once once I've uploaded all the other stuff, those podcasts,
5:48
the individual podcasts are going to go, so that would
5:52
be and they'll be gone. So the only podcast I
5:56
will have is let Me Boy to Sleep instead of
6:01
hundreds of different podcasts. But all the recordings that I've
6:05
done previously will be available for you to download for
6:09
free if you want to. So yeah, there's quite a few.
6:14
It's going to take me ages to do this, but
6:21
it's kind of half done actually go I'd already half
6:27
built this website before. And also the yeah, if you
6:36
click on Vinny BlimE me, let's say you collect Jason's
6:42
Bedtime Storytime, So some of the pages will say maybe
6:46
there's amount to pay, but there isn't. It's I'll just
6:51
playing around with that for future ideas. But it's actually
6:55
set up zero, which you will see if you go
6:59
to the thing. This all was all free, So I've
7:03
got twenty eight let me Jason's Bedtime story Time twenty eight,
7:10
So I click on number twenty eight, which is a
7:13
little tim in the Magical Forest, and then you can
7:23
add the shop, add the car, or you can buy
7:27
with shop what happens there? All right, you need to
7:33
sign in, but it's free anyway. And with that one
7:42
those that are available more than one recording for each thing,
7:47
then they will be available as a ZIP file, so
7:50
you can download like maybe four or six versions of
7:53
the same recording and then just you know, that's fine.
7:59
That seems to be the plan the first thousand let
8:03
me boy to sleep. I've got nothing but just just
8:08
one recording each about music. Yeah, so I think this
8:17
is making sense a hope, but it's going to take
8:20
a while. It will take a while for me to
8:22
get this all updated, and I don't want to spend
8:25
too much time on it either at a time that is. So,
8:31
I'd also like to say welcome to the new two
8:35
newest members of the Jason Newlanz booring group, Patrick and
8:43
And and Janice. Hi Janice, So, Patrick and Janice, Welcome
9:00
to this this Era Boring Facebook group. Yep, Hello, hello
9:13
there Hello.
9:16
Speaker 2: So.
9:18
Speaker 1: Other than that, really, I think that's kind of covered everything.
9:23
Still in the process of trying to organize my flat,
9:32
although I've done nothing today because I've been focused on
9:35
the website, so it's probably going to be I'll get
9:39
back to it probably next week. Well, it's going to
9:45
take me very likely to the end of the month
9:49
before the website's all complete. But once it's complete, that's
9:53
it done. I wonder to do anything else other than
9:57
just add the latest recordings, which it's like maybe a
10:01
half hour a day, you know, to whatever new stuff
10:06
I have, just add it on there. So it's probably
10:11
going to take me about a month or the end
10:13
of the till the end of the month, and then
10:17
it'll all be complete. So let Me boyd to Sleep
10:20
dot com is my new website. If I understand some people,
10:32
you might be thinking all about the other stuff or
10:34
about the bedtime story time, not that I do many
10:41
of them, but what about the trivia Tuesday? What about
10:45
the Monday's borrowing objects. I'm still going to do those,
10:52
they just won't be on a different website or a
10:54
different podcast. They're just going to all be on the
10:55
let Me boy to Sleep podcast, so they will be
10:59
on the Meboydsleep dot com. Yeah, so that's it. I
11:04
mean I might try and maybe i'll I'll separate them
11:08
as well, so they're on kind of too, so you
11:10
can sort of search for them individually. But because I've
11:14
already got those, I've got the Jason's Bedtime story Time,
11:19
I've got Sleepy Boring Objects. I've got thirty five on there,
11:28
so yeah, there's still you know, I could still do
11:30
that as well as well as having them, so if
11:34
you want to search for something, they'll be on that
11:37
collection as well as to let me boy the sleep
11:39
collection as well. And there's at the moment, I've got
11:46
to stop smoking on there. I've got to stop now
11:50
biting recordings on there. Then let me buy your paying
11:54
away recordings, not all of them though, only up to
11:58
number nine. Nothing is that thirty now, so I'll go back.
12:03
So the Sleepy boor Objects, I'm still going to be
12:06
doing the Bedtime story Time. I might actually start doing
12:12
them a bit more regular because I quite enjoyed doing those.
12:15
But you know, it's hard. It's really hard to juggle
12:19
for me personally. I mean I'm not very good juggler.
12:22
Just I mean literally, I've not ever being a very
12:24
good juggler. Yeah, it is a tip if you're learning
12:32
to juggle, don't start off with eggs, you know, do
12:37
something that's like not breakable. First, is it a little
12:41
bit If you're going to start tightrope walking or whatere,
12:43
it's called, don't start from a rooftop, you know, start
12:47
on the ground, Start on a line or a couple
12:51
of inches from the ground first, don't start one hundred
12:54
foot in a year. I'm just trying to help. Yeah,
13:00
so I'm gonna probably let me bore your pain away.
13:06
That's just going to be part of the let me
13:09
bore you to sleep. Okay, everything's going to be part
13:12
of the let me bore you to sleep family. And
13:15
I'm going to continue doing all that stuff. So I'm
13:19
not I'm not completely getting rid of everything. I'm not
13:25
getting rid of anything, but I'm not completely stopping to
13:27
doing any everything. It's just the hypnosis stuff and with
13:32
the let me boil your pain away, it's very different
13:36
from hypnosis, and it's really it's just talking and with
13:42
the focus of your the chronic pain sensations reducing. And
13:52
that is still a passion in my mind to help
13:59
people because you know that let me boy to sleep,
14:01
it's not just about helping people. Well, it's not just
14:05
about helping boring people to sleep. It's more than that.
14:11
And this isn't just my opinion. People have told me
14:16
this that it's also relaxing. It's also maybe having a
14:26
friendly voice, a familiar voice company. And I like to
14:35
think and I hope that people that listen to this
14:38
that maybe have some kind of chronic pain condition find
14:44
a degree of relief by listening to me, even when
14:48
it's just a standard let me boy to sleep while
14:51
I'm talking about eating corn flakes down or well or
14:57
whatever I'm discussing. So that's kind of where I'm going
15:05
forward now. So I'm retired from hypnosis at fifty five.
15:12
I've not retired. I don't work, so I've not retired.
15:21
But yeah, I won't be making any hypnosis recordings. I
15:24
can't guarantee that I won't be using any hypnosis techniques
15:27
by accident when I do stuff like let me boil
15:30
your pain away. But you know, just so that's something
15:36
that I'm I look at that image and I was like, oh,
15:41
let me pull your pain away. I love that image.
15:44
So yeah, all the other stuff like the relax and
15:47
sleep hypnosis daily, the deep sleep oh wait a minute, ah, okay,
16:02
deep sleep whisper hypnosis that I've started to upload those,
16:09
so there's quite a few of those, so I'm gonna
16:10
upload them. I don't know what stress and pain relief
16:16
that's on there as well. There's forty seven, so all
16:23
of those things will be not hidden. They'll just be
16:27
on a separate page where you can just click on
16:29
and I'll just call it archive and they'll stay on
16:34
there for the next twenty years or whatever, I don't
16:38
know however long I'm doing this, and you can always
16:45
listen back if you want to. And as I said,
16:48
they're available to download for free, so there's a new charge.
16:56
And also going forward the recordings, there won't be a
17:00
adverts ever on any of the recordings that you listen
17:04
to generally from now on. So yeah, it's that's how
17:11
things are going to be from now on. So sexy
17:16
Sexy times ehe maybe not, maybe not. So here we go,
17:23
let's go for Q and A Friday. Michelle asks, the
17:29
website's gone going to be back? So I have posted
17:31
a comment, Michelle, I did post a comment. Why is
17:36
it not on now? Is hi? Michelle? Jason Newland dot
17:39
com is retired. However, my new website is in the
17:42
middle of being sorted out. It is devoted solely to
17:47
let me boy to sleep podcasts or recordings. Here is
17:53
here is. That's not very good grammar, but it's still
17:56
in production. All latest recordings are on there. Yeah, I
18:01
forgot to put that. I also I'm going to have
18:05
my archives on there as well. So let meboydisleep dot com.
18:09
Let's click on it, Let's see what comes up. Oh,
18:12
it's gorgeous. It's not. It's just the website. It's just
18:18
the website. So yeah, I hope that, Michelle. I hope
18:22
you got that that message right. So Cheryl posted fourteen
18:37
hours ago. I went back through and listened to the
18:40
Underwear podcast and was laughing out loud. Oh, thank you,
18:45
and the I think that was the it was that
18:50
a month? Was it a Trivia Tuesday Underwear? I think
18:55
it was a couple of weeks back, and Mike said,
18:59
I'm ten to download and listen. But uproarous laughter is
19:03
not conductive conducive to me getting to sleep in the
19:07
next few hours. Sometimes I'm giggling so much from Jason's
19:11
opening monologue that I have to skip ahead to the
19:13
boor in the repetitive music. Well, you know, it's good
19:18
that I was good that I can do what is
19:24
whatever it is I'm doing, Yeah, whatever it is. I
19:31
don't know what it is. What is it that I'm doing?
19:37
I don't know. No, no, no, I don't know. So
19:43
here we go. Are we doing it?
19:48
Speaker 2: Oh?
19:51
Speaker 1: Right, So let's go back to Jason's boring group and
19:56
the where is it? Where is it? Yeah, there's a
20:10
chance I might not be having music on my future
20:14
recordings as well. So it might just be you get
20:18
the recording and then you've got the five and ten
20:21
hours where I'm just talking in the background. Well I'm
20:28
just talking, you know, So I might not be able
20:32
to have the music anymore with my future recordings. I
20:39
hope that's okay. I'm just making too many changes. Why
20:43
are you doing this to us? Well, the thing is
20:49
because I'm changing over podcasts. I don't really have the
20:53
rights to use the Spreaker music if I'm going to
20:57
be because the idea is to change over to one
21:05
SoundCloud podcast get rid of the other SoundCloud podcast. So
21:12
just have to let me boyd to sleep one and
21:15
then get rid of all the I'm not just deleting
21:19
for the sake of it. By the way, I'm to
21:20
make sure that it's all uploaded onto my website first,
21:24
but then I'm going to stop using Spreaker, and which
21:31
means I'll only be using one podcast that's it, but
21:41
on SoundCloud. If I'm not using on Spreaker, I'm probably
21:46
going to have to do it without any background music,
21:51
So you know, that's just However, saying that, the way
21:59
I'm thinking is I'm probably going to be making longer
22:02
recordings going forward. They may not be every day, they
22:09
may be every day, but they're possibly going to be
22:12
a lot longer, maybe two three hours long. So maybe
22:18
you don't need like ten hours or five hours ones
22:22
because listening to me talking for two hours, I would
22:26
say it's impossible without falling asleep. I can't even listen
22:31
to myself for more than about twenty minutes without falling asleep.
22:37
And I do listen to myself, which is weird, but
22:40
I do. I actually go to bed to lie down
22:42
listen to my latest recording. I'm gone. If I listen
22:48
to music, I can sit. I can be there listening
22:51
to it for like an hour sometimes because I'm not
22:56
doing it to go to sleep, I'm just relaxing. But
22:59
if I listen to me. I've always talking on a podcast.
23:02
I fall asleep. I can't keep awake listening to me.
23:08
It's weird. I was so boring. I send myself to sleep.
23:14
That's a That's something, isn't it. So that's how things are.
23:23
I realize that I'm never going to please everyone. However,
23:30
hopefully having all my archives available from the past nineteen
23:36
years or or however long back I go, and I
23:40
probably won't have the really old stuff on there. What though,
23:43
I might do just for fun, just add some of
23:45
the really really old, crackly stuff from the nineteen thirties
23:53
when I started. And I might also make a available
24:00
all the videos for people to download if they want,
24:03
as well from YouTube and what I might be doing,
24:13
I'm thinking about it. It's not one hundred percent. I
24:16
might start making YouTube videos where do they let me
24:20
boy to sleep with a camera and a microphone, of course,
24:25
and upload it as one recording, so maybe you know,
24:32
if it's three hours long, no five hour, no ten hour,
24:37
you can just have it on I could just do
24:38
one where it's I do one recording, then I do
24:42
one where it's on repeat for ten hours, so you
24:44
could just re listen to it if you want, and
24:54
I don't think many people would be awake after two
24:56
or three hours of listening to me. I can't. I
25:01
can't do it. I don't understand it because I've got
25:07
a really exciting voice. That's what I think. Huhm, I
25:14
finely sounds so so invigorating it is, So you know,
25:21
there's there's changes being Maybe this is hopefully for you know,
25:28
going to be a positive going forward, because it means
25:34
I can just focus on one thing without trying to
25:44
balance different things and being this and then being that,
25:47
and just I can just be me, just talk like
25:55
I do. No agenda, no, you know, not that I
26:00
have already have an agenda, but I suppose with the
26:06
hypnosis sessions there's an agenda of trying to elicit a
26:13
certain response from the listener, but with this, there's not.
26:19
It's just you can just be yourself, can't you, and
26:24
just relax and calm and your mind and your body.
26:30
I might do some body scams, but that's not really
26:33
hypnosis anyway. That's just body work. It's just made it
26:38
more meditation than anything else. So I don't know what
26:45
you've what you think about all this. Maybe let me know.
26:52
I don't know what I think about the idea of
26:55
making videos because I don't it's been such a long
26:58
time since I did videos, But like regularly the thing
27:06
is on YouTube. I've been just uploading all the latest
27:13
recordings from my podcast, which is, you know, all six versions,
27:18
and it's just basically I'm getting practically no no listeners
27:28
on YouTube. It's pretty much nothing. I mean, I've got
27:36
one five hundred and seventy four subscribers, that's one lesson
27:41
yesterday analytics and no one else in the world would
27:46
share these analytics with you, but I am analytics. The
27:50
last twenty four and the last forty eight hours one
27:56
hundred views. It's it's not good. It's really not good.
28:03
So what I'm thinking, and I don't know why, and
28:10
you might, you know, part of me maybe thinking the
28:13
same way that you might be thinking, is why would
28:17
more people want to listen to the stuff? If you're
28:22
if my face is on there? And I kind of
28:25
agree with that as well to a degree. But statistically,
28:31
if I go back far enough, because it's been a
28:34
while since I last did a recording or a video,
28:39
I mean, I want to say a while I'm not
28:44
sure if I've even done one this year. I've got
28:53
one hundred and one listens or watches of the Bruxism
28:58
hypnosis for Bruxism. Wow, Okay, so many are just like
29:10
zero views, which is just a bit It feels a
29:15
little bit sad really. I mean, I suppose there's always
29:20
a chance that I'll get YouTube will rediscover me like
29:25
it used to, but I think ultimately it's a video platform,
29:32
and although this is a podcast, it's yeah, it's not
29:43
really YouTube. Lancing to like podcasts so much, well not
29:47
not my ones anyway. I was trying to go back
29:52
where where we're where right, Still can't find anything, so
29:59
I'm now back in July, June. June, all right, nothing June.
30:18
I wonder if I've done any this year at all,
30:21
like a video of me? Nothing so far.
30:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
30:34
Speaker 1: One of the problems I've got is the lighting in
30:37
here isn't necessarily perfect for video, but I can probably
30:44
sort that out. All I found one and Sunday Papers.
30:52
This was the fifteenth of May twelve thousand and twenty five.
30:58
Why are so many private? What's that going on? That's weird.
31:02
It's a bunch of videos are private, but this one
31:06
is me talking. It's one hundred and it's one hour
31:10
and fifty eight minutes thirty two seconds. And it's not
31:16
a lot. It's only forty four views, so it's not much,
31:20
but it's still a lot more than what I'd normally
31:23
get with just the podcasts. Let's go back a bit
31:30
and having all these different versions, you know, no music
31:33
five hours, ten hours, music five hours ten hours, it's
31:38
a little bit of an overload. And I know it's
31:44
nice to have it's nice to have choice, which is
31:51
why I did it. It's why I've done this way.
31:52
But in reality, and I can't can't cater for everybody,
32:08
although I've got an idea of an app that may
32:11
could do that where you could literally choose, you know,
32:17
I don't know background music, have different types of background
32:20
music and stuff, But at the moment, this is where
32:26
we are. I mean, I do think about that's a
32:29
weird screechy sound, isn't it. I did think I could
32:33
add background music to the video using YouTube's music. But
32:45
I personally, this is my own personal opinion. I find
32:47
the background music distracting. I don't like background music, not
32:53
when there's someone talking. I can't stand videos where there's
32:58
like music in the background, I'm trying to listen to
33:01
the person talking. This just really winds me up. But
33:05
we're all differently. Oh, I found one I have, I have,
33:12
I have Right, I went through a little phase when
33:16
I was doing them in Wow, did quite a few
33:21
March March this year, so what was that? So about
33:28
six months ago? Did one in the twenty six of
33:31
March the Woman's Toilet, So I got fifty two views,
33:45
four likes. So I don't normally get many likes either,
33:48
which is weird considering how phenomenal I am. Okay, I
33:55
did do the most relaxed ASMI YouTube video and I
33:59
got four hundreundred and ninety four views and twenty two likes.
34:05
That's the thing, you know. And that's me on camera
34:08
for an hour and six minutes and thirty seconds. That's
34:12
the stuff that people wal Can you hear that little
34:15
doggie's barking? Bless and it's weird. I've not looked back
34:25
at that, so that must still people are still watching that.
34:29
M That makes you want to go back and do
34:32
the hypnosis again or no, I want to. The way
34:41
I perceive this situation is, did you just fart, Vinnie,
34:53
did you just do a.
34:54
Speaker 2: Big far.
35:00
Speaker 1: I heard something? Did you?
35:02
Speaker 2: Did you? Did you? Did you?
35:03
Speaker 1: Did you let one go? Did you just did you
35:08
squeeze one out?
35:09
Speaker 2: Did you?
35:11
Speaker 1: He's looking at me. It's underneath the table ages since
35:15
he really sat underneath the table like he did it
35:21
minimally when they had the table up or the desk
35:24
up near the TV where the TV was on it
35:28
and I'd sit there and he kind of sit by
35:30
my side or sleep by my side. But now there's
35:33
all this room underneath the table, so he can get
35:36
in from the other side, which he couldn't before because
35:39
there was a wall there. He struggles walking through walls.
35:44
It's very limited, but now he seems to quite like it. Yeah,
35:51
so let me boy to sleep. Recordings. I think that
35:56
they take actually can help various different things without even
36:09
being I don't know, just so I'm looking at these. Well, yes,
36:16
so the hypnosis stuff gets a lot more, a lot
36:20
more on YouTube. Wow, Okay, maybe I've made a mistake.
36:26
Oh well, so these are the live videos, while the
36:30
videos of me I did quite a few in a row,
36:33
so I forgot about that. So from the third of
36:36
March for about two weeks. I did regularly every day,
36:42
maybe two a days sometimes, so I did let Me
36:46
Boy to Sleep, let Me Bore Your Pain Away. The
36:51
ones that got the most attraction is another one which
36:57
was Breathing Relaxation Sleep Whisper, another Deep Sleep Whisper Body
37:04
Scan six hundred and forty seven. The album was three
37:07
hundred and ten, and then I got counting down Deep
37:11
Sleep Whisper six hundred and fifty eight. Wow, So yeah,
37:16
it's it's definitely more than I would get. I mean,
37:25
but then I've got to Let Me Boy to Sleep
37:27
thirty six, thirty seven, sixty one, seventy five, seventy eight,
37:37
eighty one, ninety one. So they're also getting listening views
37:45
as well, so maybe that can build up ninety eight seventy.
37:53
Oh no, that's a let go of anger two. So yeah,
37:58
so okay, so there's a few. I just want to
38:08
move on and see what other one's She's out of
38:11
my life. The cover I did seventy views, Oh, let
38:20
Me Boy to Sleep. Okay, so none of them. Let
38:25
Me Boy. The sleeps are getting seem to be getting much,
38:28
but this, you know, being here now, Deep Sleep Whisper
38:33
four p. Forty nine to seventy three, four hundred and
38:38
seventy one, five sixty one. I did quite a few
38:50
live recordings, which is strange. I've forgot about that, not life,
38:57
but you know we have my face is on screen,
39:01
so I guess the point I was trying to make
39:04
really is. And I don't know why, but for some reason,
39:08
when my face is on there, when I'm actually when
39:11
it's a unnatural video, moving, people watch them. Even they
39:19
let Me boy to Sleep ones are getting I mean,
39:25
the hypnosis ones are always more popular. Yeah, I'm just
39:31
just looking two hundred and thirty nine, four hundred and
39:37
forty two, two twenty three, one forty nine, one sixty nine. Okay,
39:44
but even to let me boy to sleep and kind
39:46
of get into one hundred, you know, just under one
39:49
hundred maybe, So I reckon if I did stick to
39:53
do and let me boy you to sleep every day
39:57
a video, then do you audience would grow? Yeah, it's
40:07
worth a try, in it worth a try. So this
40:10
isn't being videoed now, but maybe start in next week
40:18
or maybe maybe tomorrow I might start doing a video
40:28
just seeing, you know, seeing what a curse, what happens,
40:38
how things are, if things are groovy, super groovy. I
40:44
don't know. So I've been talking for a little while.
40:48
I should really do a question ing asks me, are
40:55
you interested in far not far fine art like painting?
41:01
Do you have a favorite painter? No, No, it's not
41:09
that I'm not interested, but I'm not interested. But I'm
41:12
not it's not that I don't I don't dislike art
41:15
at all. It's beautiful and everything like that. And I've
41:19
been to plenty of art galleries in the past. I
41:24
do find that, you know, like the big art galleries
41:28
in London. I've only really been to the ones in London,
41:33
the big pictures like wow, you kind of have to
41:40
step back to really appreciate it. So how did they
41:44
paint it? Unless they had a really really really long
41:53
paint stick thing or paint brush, you know, like a
42:00
twenty foot paint brush so they could kind of see
42:03
what it's going to look like, or they're looking through
42:10
the maybe they've got some binoculars and looked in the
42:14
wrong side. That would have been once them taped to
42:18
his head or her head. So no, I don't have
42:23
a favorite I like. I mean, I could list off
42:33
some famous painters just because it's in my memory from
42:38
having heard about them, and I don't know Rembrant was
42:48
it Rembrandt? Was that Remembrant? What was his name? Did
42:57
the sixteenth Chair Chapel Bolognaise not bolonnies li Roarf Harris?
43:10
Of course? Do you know what it is yet?
43:18
Speaker 2: Yeah?
43:18
Speaker 1: Criminal?
43:21
Speaker 2: What was?
43:23
Speaker 1: I don't know? I did my favorite art thing I
43:28
ever saw. I actually did a gig at an art
43:31
gallery opening once, I believe it or not. I had
43:37
a friend who's she had a I don't know why
43:40
they had comedy there, but there's this big it's basically
43:43
an art gallery and halftime intermission was a comedy show
43:51
and it was in this art center or something some
43:56
part of London, and my friend didn't want to do it,
44:00
so she asked me to do it for her to
44:02
cover up and it's just a free gig, there's no
44:04
money involved, so I said, oh right, okay. Then so
44:07
I went on and ruined a few people's knights and
44:18
it's very strange. I didn't go there to do that,
44:21
but it just was one of the perks I suppose
44:26
with my type of comedy at the time, wasn't a
44:32
perk for me? What was the name Jimmy Now was there.
44:38
See Jimmy Now is a famous actor and musician from
44:45
like eighties and nineties. I swear he was head and
44:51
shoulders above everybody else in the audience. He's about six seven.
44:58
It's really tall. But it's weird because you think, like, well,
45:03
six seven it's tall. But yeah, so what it really
45:07
stood out so much. He was at the back and
45:11
I could see him. I could see his chest. You mean,
45:16
he wasn't topless. I mean he had clothes on, but
45:18
you know, he stacked tall. Yeah, but anyway, he was.
45:23
I was a little bit star struck. But at the
45:26
same time, I do want to upset him because it's
45:30
like I don't want to upset Jimmy Now Spender, as
45:34
you know, that was the name of the TV shows
45:36
in and of Vice. But there was this art gallery
45:43
above the comedy club that I used to be involved in,
45:46
and it was the the bar. The head barman and
45:52
his wife who was a waitress. They they were both artists,
45:57
so they opened with my friend. They kind of put
46:01
together an art gallery upstairs right at the top of
46:05
the building. Its all converted. It must have cost a
46:07
fortune to do it. And I'd go up there and
46:11
just have a little look, you know, while there was
46:13
no one around before the gallery opened to the public,
46:17
you know, the new exhibition, and there was this one gallery,
46:23
one artist, and it was all naked people, which initially
46:27
interested me until I realized what it was about. And
46:34
it had all these historic events involving war and things
46:42
like that, but everybody was naked. So there was soldiers
46:47
on the battlefield and soldiers riding horses completely naked, and
46:54
it kind of just added a sense of absurdity to
46:59
the situation. I mean, I don't know if you can
47:03
get more absurd than war anyway, but you know, just generally,
47:06
just it made me think and really made me think
47:14
about life and about you know, just I suppose exit
47:22
I got some kind of existential angst, kind of a rose,
47:28
and then I just carried on eating them a kit
47:30
kat because that was because I had a cup of tea.
47:33
I was dipping it in there. It was nice, and
47:36
I moved on and I thought I should remember this
47:40
because I might need to talk about it one day.
47:42
And that was it. That's the whole thing. Cindy asked me.
47:45
Arthet is expensive there as they are in the US.
47:49
Yesterday I picked up my Golden Retriever's fleet and tick medication.
47:54
A six month supply was one hundred and eighty dollars.
48:03
I mean it is expensive here. I don't know a
48:07
company compare. I'm just trying to think what one hundred
48:09
and eighty dollars is in UK money. Probably about one
48:11
hundred and forty one hundred and fifty pound, So six
48:16
months apply. Yeah, I'd expect to pay probably more than
48:21
one hundred pound for six months if you're going to
48:23
buy it in bulk. Yeah, it's maybe. I know that
48:28
a treatment is very expensive with the vets, there's no
48:33
it's just astronomical. I know someone that had they spent
48:40
My friend her dog got unwell and she spent about
48:46
twelve thousand pounds on treatment. I know someone else, another
48:53
dog walker that I speak to, and they spent like
48:55
five grand.
48:58
Speaker 2: You know.
48:58
Speaker 1: Just sometimes it's something like a bad leg or something
49:03
that is quite easy for humans to deal with. Dogs.
49:10
I'm not saying they can't deal with it. They probably
49:12
deal with better than humans actually, But as far as
49:16
the surgery or any kind of treatment, really really expensive
49:25
really yeah, so yeah, I think I spent about just
49:35
to have an X ray for Andre. I think it
49:38
cost me a couple of hundred quid something like that
49:42
just for an X ray, maybe more so, Yeah, it's expensive.
49:50
Oh yeah, I don't like talking. I don't like thinking
49:54
about the vets. Hope asks who would we in a
50:00
boxing match between you and Sebastian? Wow? Wow? Talk about
50:07
causing a conflict and how badly would Sebastian lose? Details?
50:14
Speaker 2: Please?
50:16
Speaker 1: Wow? The thing is in reality, well not reality, but
50:23
in kind of logically. Sebastian is a lot younger than me,
50:28
and he's a lot bigger than me as well. He's
50:31
I think he's what over six foot and he weighs
50:36
about thirty stone, which is about four hundred pounds, and
50:43
I think it's about six foot five or something. So
50:46
he's a big old lump. And I remember I say
50:53
to him like, oh, I was excited, so I'd lost
50:55
half a stone which is what's seven pounds? And he said,
50:58
I lose that every time I do it. Who Okay,
51:04
So in a boxing match, I don't know. I'm not
51:12
quite as nimble as I used to be on my
51:14
feet because I think in a boxing match, you know,
51:17
it's got a referee, got boxing gloves on. Probably got
51:20
head gear on, a mouthpiece, mouthguard or other. So there
51:24
is it a degree of like you can get out
51:26
of the way if you can move. But I'm not
51:33
sure how well my my back, my lower back will
51:38
work for me these days, because it's not Yeah, it's
51:42
not doing great, so of course i'd win. But yeah,
51:48
we all know that. But yeah, I imagine if he's
51:53
could probably punch quite hard. Yeah, I don't know. It's
51:59
weird because there's that's that age thing, isn't it. Because
52:01
he's in his thirties. I'm in my fifties, so it's
52:07
like probably twenty years between us, maybe eighteen years, I'm
52:12
not sure, but it's quite a long quite quite a
52:16
difference in age. And he's got youth on his side.
52:23
I've got. Even with a telescope, I'm looking behind me,
52:29
I can't see my youth. It's so far away. It's
52:33
in the distance. It's too far. It's weird, though, because
52:38
when I look at it in front of me, I
52:40
don't need a telescope. I can see my old age.
52:43
It's just like just up the road. It's weird. Being
52:46
fifty five strange. It shouldn't be any different to being
52:50
fifty four. But for some reason, it's getting me to
52:58
reconsider my not okay, my life choices in the past.
53:04
I've always done that. I've always kind of thought back
53:07
in that, oh, if I've done something different, blah blah blah.
53:13
But the reality is, you can't, can't. You can't do
53:15
something different in the past. So and with Uncle Sausages
53:24
and with Luke and a few things that happened and Andre,
53:28
and that's in the last you know, five years. I
53:33
think with Uncle Sausages, I started thinking, okay, I kind
53:37
of seem close up, what could be me in the
53:43
few years, you know, and it really, yeah, it's affected me.
53:49
So I'm starting to think, well, I want to I
53:55
don't think there's anything more important than helping people. For
53:58
me personally, that's my aim. That's why I do these recordings.
54:02
I don't just do it just to have a laugh.
54:03
I do genuinely want to help people. I've also got
54:10
to do something that I enjoy doing. And I enjoy
54:13
doing these recordings. I enjoy just chatting, shooting the breeze,
54:23
maybe just being a bit silly, a bit being a
54:27
bit of a silly sausage sometimes, you know, And I
54:35
like the idea that maybe what I'm doing is meaning
54:38
for at least, I like that idea and I do
54:45
want to continue doing it. So that's kind of why
54:51
I've come to that isn't a question that I know
54:53
that Hope asked, But I am trying to move away
54:59
from the idea I don't want Sebastian. I'll imagine what
55:02
messages I'm going to get now, thanks Hope. Because he's
55:06
not allowed on this group on the but he is
55:09
on my Facebook friend list because I banned him, I've
55:14
had to keep banding him. What he does is it
55:17
just starts posting outrageous things, and even when I find
55:23
it funny, people get upset. And that's why he's not
55:28
allowed on this group, because I know that as soon
55:30
as he's on air, although he might be on him
55:33
under a false name or now, I've just probably given
55:35
him that idea, but I'll know because I know the
55:40
kind of things that he posts. So if anyone started
55:45
posting outrageous things on the Jason Newlands Boring group, they
55:50
just get banned anyway. So it's fine because it's a
55:53
private group, so you have to actually apply to join
55:57
otherwise I probably have thousands of members, but also thousands
56:02
of members that probably didn't even visit. They just like,
56:04
come once and join, and then I wouldn't see him again.
56:09
H Maybe I should do that. Maybe I should just
56:12
make it an open group. What do you think, Molly?
56:15
Should I just turn Should we turn this into an
56:17
open group so it's no longer and I think Molly's
56:28
really the I don't think I'm an admin anymore, so
56:31
I think Molly's the She literally is the boss of
56:34
the group, so I don't know where's everyone. I think.
56:42
Do you think we should just have it as an
56:43
open group rather than as a membership, you know, like
56:47
private members? I don't know. I like the idea of
56:52
being private, but I like the idea of it being
56:55
maybe just open. I'm not sure. It doesn't hugely affect
57:05
me either way, but it's kind of nice to have.
57:09
Like it needs to be a safe a afe place, yeah,
57:16
a safe space to be able to just.
57:21
Speaker 2: I know.
57:22
Speaker 1: Another thing is because it's such a small group, I
57:24
do get to see things that people post. If I
57:28
had like ten thousand people on air posting all the time,
57:31
I wouldn't see partly any of it because it would
57:34
just be busy which is a good thing. I mean,
57:38
it's it'd be good for from a publicity perspective, for
57:43
you know, growing an audience each year. Oh, I don't know.
58:02
I've just asked my own question here. So I got
58:06
three questions. It wasn't a lot of questions this week.
58:10
Are you interested in fine art? So I do like painting.
58:16
I'm just going back over the questions I do.
58:18
Speaker 2: I do.
58:21
Speaker 1: I tried to do painting in the past myself, but
58:25
I don't like the feel of it. I don't like
58:27
the feel of paint brushes on paper. It actually makes
58:35
my teeth go a bit weird. So I don't like it.
58:44
I don't even like painting like walls or stuff like that.
58:47
Just don't like the smell of paint. And it's not
58:51
really an issue because you don't really smell the painter here.
58:54
If you go to an art gallery, maybe maybe you do.
59:00
As for the vets, Cindy are Wow, Yeah, they're definitely
59:07
making their money. It's got to be a hard job.
59:14
But at the same time, it's just and I remember
59:17
when Andre had to have his final treatment and the
59:24
vet was shaken. When he's speaking to me, but physically shaken,
59:30
and so I kind of. I wasn't shaking him. I
59:36
wasn't like cult, you know, I wasn't man handling him.
59:39
I was just standing there. But it's very similar to
59:43
when Uncle's sausages. His doctor came and told him the
59:49
news that he was, you know, his news that he
59:52
got and when he was in hospital, and that doctor
59:57
was shaking as well, startering really nervous and it's be hard,
1:00:04
such a hard situation to be and especially doing it
1:00:08
at their bedside. Other people can hear no going into
1:00:12
a private room or anything like that, which I thought
1:00:16
was how things were done. They didn't have a private room.
1:00:19
There was nothing. There was very strange, just busy, busy,
1:00:24
busy the whole time. And as for boxing, I would
1:00:32
like that is one of my things that I'd just
1:00:34
love to do, just to get in a boxing ring
1:00:38
and have a two round fights has to be two
1:00:44
rounds with all you know, all the padding and stuff,
1:00:52
one minute rounds, two rounds with half an hour resting
1:00:57
between each round.
1:01:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:01:06
Speaker 1: The only boxing sparring I did because I went to
1:01:08
boxing when I was thirty nine, but I wasn't allowed
1:01:11
to spark because I was too old. I did that
1:01:14
for a year and a half or so. But I
1:01:18
went to boxing club when I was a kid at
1:01:20
school when I was doing karate, and went along and
1:01:25
they were sparring but there was no pads, and I
1:01:29
was matched up to someone that was, I mean, pretty
1:01:33
much twice my size. I was probably about seven and
1:01:39
a half stone at this point. He was easily fourteen
1:01:42
fifteen stone, his big, big lad and he was just
1:01:46
punching down, punching me in the head. I didn't like it.
1:01:52
It really put me off because you know, if I
1:01:55
had been matched with someone my own size to start with,
1:01:59
at least, it's like if I got at that time,
1:02:05
if I'd been put in with a that like putting
1:02:07
me in with a like an eight year old or
1:02:10
nine year old, really size wise or eight year old,
1:02:14
you'd you'd spa, but you'd be really light, wouldn't you
1:02:19
Just you could spa of a kid. But when I
1:02:25
did karate, we sparred with adults. I inspired the people
1:02:28
older than me, sometimes younger than me, because I was well,
1:02:32
let's say, fourteen fifteen, so I'd be spiring kids maybe
1:02:37
who were twelve, and other times spiring people who in
1:02:41
their thirties and generally everyone. Kind of the older people
1:02:46
took it a bit easier on the younger people, and
1:02:49
I took it easier on the younger people as well,
1:02:53
unless they didn't. So I think the rule is take
1:02:58
it easy on the little ones. I was a little
1:03:00
one for a lot of them, and there's a few
1:03:02
littler than me, So take it easier on them unless
1:03:07
they take liberties, I think is the thing. So if
1:03:11
the little one goes a bit too on, you know,
1:03:15
tries to hurt the bigger one, then the bigger one
1:03:17
has to put them on the floor just teach them
1:03:21
to just sort of maybe be behave themselves. So that
1:03:25
was kind of the unsaid rule really, because you know,
1:03:30
I was when I was sparring, because we spied every
1:03:32
single night with the karate every Tuesday Thursday night, we
1:03:37
sparred and would like line up opposite each other, says
1:03:41
be you know, and basically just take turns and just
1:03:43
keep moving along and do that for about half an hour.
1:03:47
And when it came across the adults, they would take
1:03:50
it easier on me. They pushed me, but they wouldn't,
1:03:53
you know, wouldn't hurt me because they could have really
1:03:56
took my head off. They could knocked me right the
1:03:59
way to the other side of the room, but they didn't,
1:04:02
and I appreciated that. That's why I didn't punch him
1:04:06
in the balls. However, there was one tall He was
1:04:09
about six foot nine, ridiculously tall, but he was not
1:04:15
hugely a lot older than me. He was probably about
1:04:18
eighteen seventeen eighteen, and he constantly was knocking me onto
1:04:26
the floor because his legs were taller than me. His
1:04:30
legs were longer than my whole body. And in the
1:04:34
end I got fed up with it, so I just
1:04:38
I put him on the floor, but in a different way.
1:04:41
That sounds weird, doesn't It sounds a bit erotic now.
1:04:44
I put him on the floor as in, you know,
1:04:46
punched him and kicked him in the wrong place, and
1:04:50
eventually he learned his lesson. But he shouldn't have been
1:04:56
doing that. He shouldn't, you know, he shouldn't have been
1:04:59
knocking me over and going full petalt on me because
1:05:02
I was still little and he was a grown man,
1:05:09
although I don't think he was able to have children.
1:05:12
After I'd finished with him, we laughed. Yeah, I did
1:05:21
have someone do that. It was a different martial art,
1:05:27
as someone. They kept hitting me in a place where
1:05:33
I said, don't hit me, just be careful. It was
1:05:36
kung fu, and I said, just be careful my rib
1:05:40
and he still hit me in the rib. I said,
1:05:42
please aim anywhere else, just not the rib, and they
1:05:47
did the rib again. So what I did is when
1:05:52
they went to kick me, I put them on the floor.
1:05:57
I did their leg so I kind of got them back.
1:06:00
It's just like I didn't want to. But eventually, this
1:06:04
is when I was a lot younger. I was only
1:06:07
fifty four at the time. I got had to, you know,
1:06:10
kind of like, please be careful with my little body
1:06:15
because it's you know, it's hurting. And he kept doing it,
1:06:19
kept going back and being Yeah. Another one wanted did taekwondo.
1:06:25
There was this lad there and he started the same
1:06:27
time as me. He went on to be like triple
1:06:29
down black belt after I stopped because I couldn't go
1:06:34
anymore because of my back, and he used to he
1:06:41
was so good at kicking, which is most of what
1:06:45
taekwondo is kicking. He was so good at kicking, and
1:06:51
he used to just knock everyone, even the black belts,
1:06:54
the instructors because he used to do kickboxing. Before he'd
1:06:59
be kicking people all around the place. No one could
1:07:02
match him, not even the high instructors could match him.
1:07:05
And kicking. It's kind of funny really. And remember once
1:07:11
we were just sparring. I think he needed me in
1:07:17
the leg, like in the thigh, and I swear honestly,
1:07:20
I had a dead leg for about a year and
1:07:24
he found it hilarious. And I really wanted to get
1:07:29
my own back. I really did, Like I let him off,
1:07:35
but I was like, that really hurt. And I don't
1:07:39
think he meant to do it, but he he laughed
1:07:43
at the result, which is me crying on the floor,
1:07:47
crying for my mummy. And I felt better once I
1:07:53
had a you know, a sandwich, cornby sandwich. But it's
1:07:58
just like I never got my own back. There's nothing
1:08:07
like vindictive stories from the past. Oh God, remember this
1:08:18
this young lad. He was wing chun. We're doing what
1:08:22
was it chee can do? And he came along and
1:08:25
he was younger than me, but he was an adult,
1:08:28
so I was like in my I was thirty three,
1:08:31
he was probably about twenty two, and he was so
1:08:34
full of himself, all his energy and you know, and
1:08:39
he was just constantly trying to get one over inspiring,
1:08:46
especially leg spark. We used to do a thing on
1:08:48
a Friday, so on a I think it was. It's
1:08:54
either on Monday and a Wednesday, or Tuesday and a Thursday.
1:08:58
I think it might be a Monday Wednesday. We did
1:09:01
the normal martial arts kung fu, and then on a
1:09:07
Friday it was leg spa. So we couldn't use our hands,
1:09:15
not even to block, so we had to block and
1:09:19
attack with our legs. The hands basically arms were just
1:09:23
for balts. Really moved through your arms for balance, and
1:09:25
that was it. And he really he really used to
1:09:31
try and to push it with his because he was
1:09:34
really flexible quick. But at the same time it's quite
1:09:39
funny as well, well did it was this one time
1:09:43
because I had my root broke. That's that thing I
1:09:45
was talking about. Actually my root got broken and I
1:09:50
couldn't go there for a while for a few weeks.
1:09:54
And then I went along. I said, look, I know
1:09:56
I can't participate, but I just want to just be
1:09:58
in the environment because maybe I can just practice some
1:10:03
moves and stuff. And he said, my instructor, my Sifu
1:10:08
Sifu Cifu he said, well, if you can, why don't
1:10:11
you practice he kicks on the punchbag, because he had
1:10:16
this big, massive punch bag hanging down from the this
1:10:20
ceiling and it was like almost like an aircraft hangar,
1:10:25
this massive place. And I said, okay, And I realized
1:10:31
that I could actually punch about really hurting myself too
1:10:33
much as well, because it was practically healed but not
1:10:37
enough to be hit. I knew that if I got
1:10:39
hit in my rib that would be all. Now I
1:10:44
was practicing my kicks, which is quite nice to do actually,
1:10:48
just without anyone being around, and no one was paying
1:10:52
me any attention. It was just nice to have that freedom.
1:10:57
And I think it was a punch. It might have
1:11:01
been a kick, but I think it was a punch.
1:11:04
And the punch bag flew off and hit the wall
1:11:09
and Chain snapped. Now I'm not under any kind of
1:11:17
idea that I'm the one that caused that, Okay. I mean,
1:11:21
if anything, I'm lucky that the change in land on me.
1:11:26
It's probably Rusty Chain. But I'll tell you what it
1:11:29
looked good. Now. YouTube wasn't around then, But if I'd
1:11:35
have had that on YouTube, me punching his bag and
1:11:39
the bag just you know, being pulled off the chain
1:11:42
just it would look so like a superhero movie or Rocky.
1:11:52
It was impressive. And the bag never got put up
1:11:58
again because it was there's no way of getting up there.
1:12:01
So I'm wondering if it was already there when he
1:12:03
moved in, because the instructor just had it on the
1:12:07
floor and he just used it for practicing groundwork. It's like, wow,
1:12:16
it's weird. Even though I had an opportunity to kind
1:12:19
of pretend to myself that I punched that bag so
1:12:24
hard that I broke it, the fact is I know
1:12:29
I didn't. It just it was ready to go. I'm
1:12:38
pretty sure a ladybird could have probably landed on it
1:12:41
just at that time and it would have fallen over
1:12:46
because that's how hard my punches are. So probably me
1:12:49
and Sebastian. Probably he'd win considering I've got the punch
1:12:52
of a ladybird. Oh what is shame? Okay, so let's say.
1:13:11
Speaker 2: So.
1:13:11
Speaker 1: Michelle, thanks for the update. I listen to you every
1:13:13
night and use older ones, even from twenty nineteen, so
1:13:17
sad I couldn't access all of them. Thanks Michelle, you
1:13:20
will be able to Everything will be accessible very very
1:13:26
very very very very soon, but it will be more
1:13:30
case of downloading them, if that makes sense. So you
1:13:36
can just down and it'll be easy to download, take seconds,
1:13:40
and you can play it and just get rid of
1:13:42
it if you don't want it anymore. After that. Yeah,
1:13:47
I might also try and get a quick link download,
1:13:50
but we'll see. I'm just all up in the air.
1:13:56
I kind of sometimes when I start doing these things,
1:13:59
I think are just want things back the way they
1:14:04
were now. I can't be bothered, but I'm going to
1:14:09
stick to it because once it's done, I can then
1:14:12
move forward in the the correct the correct direction. So
1:14:28
I'm going to go Thank you for listening. Sorry, it
1:14:32
wasn't a huge amount of questions, but that's all the
1:14:35
questions I had today. Thank you for listening. Remember to
1:14:39
be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be
1:14:42
happy and be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe,
1:14:48
lots of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and
1:15:07
meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just
1:15:14
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time
1:15:25
we spend together here, not just relaxed at the end
1:15:33
of the recording when it's finished, and you can enjoy
1:15:38
that sense of comfort and peace. But also I think
1:15:55
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation
1:16:09
continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that
1:16:23
you can still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe
1:16:36
in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by
1:16:47
listening regularly, especially if you find like some people do
1:16:56
and myself as well. I sometimes I find one particularly
1:17:00
recording that really resonates with me, and I just listened
1:17:10
to it over and over again every morning, every evening.
1:17:23
There was this recording from We're going back to about
1:17:27
nineteen ninety nine. It was it wasn't hypnosis, but it
1:17:32
was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,
1:17:40
and I managed to find it again and it still
1:17:45
has the same effect on me. And part of it
1:17:51
was the person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful,
1:18:08
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the
1:18:14
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even
1:18:26
pressing the play button that since I've done that pressed
1:18:34
the play button. This was in the days of CD
1:18:43
players pressed the play button. In fact, it might have
1:18:52
even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on
1:18:56
the bed, and then even without necessarily listening to her words,
1:19:13
because I had been memorized. Really, it was as if
1:19:22
my body knew exactly what to do, and the muscles
1:19:34
just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my
1:19:55
mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening to
1:20:09
this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis, and
1:20:19
long before I ever made any videos or audio recordings myself,
1:20:29
because I didn't start doing that till two thousand and six.
1:20:39
Speaker 3: I knew, I knew how.
1:20:47
Speaker 1: Helpful I found being able to just let go, to
1:21:01
have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,
1:21:13
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if
1:21:22
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you
1:21:31
may feel the same.
1:21:38
Speaker 2: Some people.
1:21:42
Speaker 1: Have been listening to me for over a decade, maybe
1:21:54
not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day, but
1:22:02
maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.
1:22:18
That's something that I do which you may not realize
1:22:26
by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now, for example,
1:22:49
I also am affected by the words that I say.
1:23:02
So if I said to you focus on your feet,
1:23:11
notice your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.
1:23:24
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,
1:23:41
focus on your hands and maybe notice the difference between
1:23:49
each hand. Perhaps notice the the air in the room,
1:24:00
the temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.
1:24:13
You may start to notice what almost feels like a
1:24:17
very light breeze, even though there may not be any
1:24:25
type of breeze at all where you are right now.
1:24:38
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also
1:24:49
aware of how relaxed my hands our feeling now and
1:25:17
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which
1:25:24
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy
1:25:41
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.
1:26:02
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,
1:26:20
and then I carry on talking. It's only when I
1:26:31
listen back to do the editing I hear snoring and
1:26:40
I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. Was
1:26:50
this snoring? Was a pig turned up? That's why I
1:26:58
sound like when I snare, how I get really into
1:27:06
the whole experience. I don't know how you feel, how
1:27:25
relaxed you feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel
1:27:36
in your hands. I have noticed more and more that
1:28:03
the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel, the
1:28:19
easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation.
1:28:44
So this allows you to breath easier without necessarily focusing
1:29:08
on your breath, however, being able to notice the ease.
1:29:37
Speaker 2: In which.
1:29:45
Speaker 1: You breathe so naturally. You breathe so very easily and smoothly.
1:30:35
Whenever I imagine my breathing improving. When I've got my
1:30:53
eyes closed, I tend to visualize a beautiful field with
1:31:12
trees and flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It
1:31:46
feels nice two if nothing else, just taking some time
1:32:08
away from everything, enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity with
1:32:56
a joyful heart. Time seems to just drip by, so
1:33:34
very slowly, relaxed, so deeply easeful, completely unattached to any
1:34:25
thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free, noticing that your
1:35:29
mind has slowed down. Slowed down because nothing really requires
1:36:16
your attention. You can enjoy the physical sensations of allowing
1:36:46
the stress to rip out of your body, to appear
1:36:59
out of every part of your body, and being released
1:37:28
from your brain in your mind slowly, surely, the muscles
1:38:09
in your legs relax rs r so very deeply, reas
1:39:01
so deeply. And the feelings, the pleasant feelings in your
1:39:27
arms and shoulders, deepening each part of your body further,
1:40:00
deeper and deeper h noticine, the feelings in the back
1:40:33
of your neck, the feelings in your wrists, muscles in
1:41:35
front of your body. I all say, fling peace, for
1:42:11
deeply there's a sense of peace spreads through your fairy core.
1:43:09
Even when you focus on your mind, your mind becomes
1:43:37
eve and slower, even deeper, relaxing, so very slow his
1:44:59
stomach peace full in your stomach.
1:45:38
Speaker 2: Held back.
1:45:44
Speaker 1: Notice Notice how relaxed you'd now feel in the hole
1:46:13
of your back. In spy from your brain all the
1:46:46
way down the middle of your back, sending and receiving
1:46:57
millions of messages every day, deep comfort, increasing h deeply relaxed.
1:47:59
Speaker 2: You need yes.
1:48:25
Speaker 1: RELs spreading those signals down your spine or cord into
1:48:39
air every part of your body, your shins and your
1:48:58
calf muscles were outbos. Feelings of peace and tranquility spreading
1:49:55
through your body, tips of your toes, to your eyes,
1:50:12
your fingers, all the way till you'll lower back. Lettinger
1:50:33
read the thinker, peace drifting mind just wandering away. Happy
1:51:44
to let go, Let go completely, let go, so tranquil,
1:52:49
the whole body enjoying a sensor listening go heph more
1:54:35
p enjoying the space, this space of peace.
1:55:28
Speaker 2: And safety. So very.
1:56:00
Speaker 1: Yes, letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the
1:57:55
different parts of your body, just to notice you forehead
1:58:31
in your eyes, mutual, so loose, noticing the sense of
1:59:36
complete freedom, absolute freedom, day, peace for energy, peace to breathe,
2:01:46
so much easier.
2:02:30
Speaker 2: Loose.
2:02:51
Speaker 1: You may have or may not have noticed your mind's drifting,
2:03:41
peaceful men even more deeply in the direction of total
2:04:15
bliss for pace, bliss for pace, terrefting out to pace.
2:06:05
Come so calm, let him go, peace with mind relaxed.
2:07:07
Speaker 2: Foty C relax c relaxed.
2:08:00
Speaker 1: Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so.
2:08:41
Speaker 2: Peace like on ver.
2:09:41
Speaker 1: And you could start to notice that you are feeling
2:09:48
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind
2:10:00
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within
2:10:08
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,
2:10:22
and that could be almost in recognition of I guess
2:10:30
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally
2:10:44
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give
2:10:55
yourself an opportunity to take a break, break from the day,
2:11:04
take a break from your life as it is, and
2:11:11
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take
2:11:19
some time off and to allow your body to relax
2:11:27
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn
2:11:37
releases the tension and he stresses that you had in
2:11:42
your body. It's almost as if the parts of your
2:11:52
body just open up, allowing the negativity out and at
2:12:04
the same time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy
2:12:16
which then fills your body up and your mind to
2:12:22
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an
2:12:40
almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through
2:12:57
your body like a way eve of comfort and all
2:13:08
this comes and just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe
2:13:20
half an hour, however long you want it to be,
2:13:24
to just rest and allow your mind and your body
2:13:38
to almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,
2:14:00
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness
2:14:13
to move around your body and into your mind, almost
2:14:23
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,
2:14:31
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness,
2:14:46
And it feels nice. It really does feel nice to
2:14:54
know that you are the one that has allowed yourself
2:15:03
to feel more comfort and to experience more of this
2:15:17
deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus
2:15:33
on each part of your body, you can notice that
2:15:39
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.
2:15:56
It becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing.
2:16:10
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,
2:16:19
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to
2:16:26
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused
2:16:33
on or just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation
2:16:47
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going
2:17:00
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware
2:17:07
of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds
2:17:18
like mister Herbert the pigeon, can just allow you to
2:17:23
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.
2:17:33
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the
2:17:38
world I live in, the countryside, so there's lots of
2:17:48
nature sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead,
2:17:59
just let that's how it becomes even more relaxed, as
2:18:04
you focus only on my voice and that part of
2:18:13
your body. Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes,
2:18:27
noticing how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light
2:18:39
at the same time, and all the muscles around your
2:18:46
eyes relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth,
2:19:00
your lips, your tongue, your teeth, and your gumbs, the
2:19:07
whole of your mouth, relaxing, calm and lease. As you
2:19:22
focus now on your jaw, not just the parts of
2:19:30
your jaw near your mouth and your chin, but all
2:19:35
the way up the side of your face to your ears,
2:19:41
the hole of your jaw, feeding.
2:19:51
Speaker 2: More relaxed calm.
2:20:05
Speaker 1: Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and
2:20:15
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The side of
2:20:28
your neck, the right and left side of your neck,
2:20:36
relax and loose.
2:20:43
Speaker 2: And calm. And now the back of your neck.
2:20:56
Speaker 1: Focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of
2:21:06
any tension that may have been there before, and enjoying
2:21:13
that sense of increasing comfort and release that you can
2:21:26
experience in the back of your neck, moving down your
2:21:37
back and moving either side of your spine right from
2:21:45
the top of.
2:21:45
Speaker 2: Your back.
2:21:48
Speaker 1: All the way down to the bottom of your back
2:21:58
down to your lower back. And as you move up
2:22:09
and down your spine, you can feel the muscles either
2:22:18
side of your spine relaxing even more. And as those
2:22:32
muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards
2:22:43
from your spine into both sides of your back, the
2:22:52
top of your back, the middle, and your lower back.
2:23:00
As you scan gently and slowly up and down your back,
2:23:10
there's the muscles in the top of your back relax
2:23:14
and become looser. The muscles in the middle of your
2:23:22
back also seem to just almost divide from each other,
2:23:31
separating and almost melting. And in your lower back there
2:23:47
seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort spreads
2:24:01
into your hips sit down your lower back, into your hips,
2:24:12
into the area where your cosicks are, and into your buttocks,
2:24:21
and all these muscles that spread from your lower back
2:24:30
into your hip area start to melt, start to really
2:24:43
let go.
2:24:50
Speaker 2: I don't even know where.
2:24:53
Speaker 1: About to focus on your shoulders, your back, and your
2:24:59
spine will continue to let go, continue to relax so calmly,
2:25:22
and as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice
2:25:27
that they're already feeling really loose. They're already feeling calm,
2:25:57
and they're feeling those muscles the move from your neck
2:26:10
into your shoulders feel so soft and gentle, so smooth
2:26:35
and calm, And the feeling in your shoulders sins to
2:26:58
spread deep into your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not
2:27:07
just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing the
2:27:21
bones and moving all away to underneath your arms, relaxing
2:27:36
that whole area between the tops of your shoulders and
2:27:41
underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and comfortable
2:28:00
in your shoulders. Who sends that deep healing message into
2:28:20
your arms? And you may feel almost as if your
2:28:32
arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed, so
2:28:42
deeply relaxed, so so calm, so loose, not feeling spreading
2:29:31
all the way down your arms. Two elbows, including your
2:29:44
elbows their comforts, spreads all away into rists of forearmens
2:30:11
in your wrists so heavy, yet at this same time
2:30:34
slight and gentle. Frek. See now on your hands, my hands,
2:31:41
so peaceful in your hands, there's a sense of real peace.
2:32:22
It just seems to feel so familiar when your hands
2:32:36
relax deeply. Else, a thing is you things sidles, you
2:34:14
think you tips? Moving your attention to the front of
2:34:47
your body, so comfortable, moving in your focus to your legs,
2:36:37
what muscles in your thighs, your knees, so relaxed, the
2:37:32
carved mussels and just chins copusya four and the fathing
2:39:42
your feet. Sir, peaceful, so calm, say peaceful, sircom so peaceful,
2:40:44
syclm so.
2:40:52
Speaker 2: Peace f RelA sin peace for.
2:41:14
Speaker 1: So calm, loving that deep relaxation, to spread your chest,
2:41:29
in your stomach, so RelA, letting go of everything. So
2:42:00
I'm gonna start counting down now, from twenty down to one.
2:42:13
You can imagine in a way it's like just walking down.
2:42:16
Speaker 2: Some steps.
2:42:19
Speaker 1: And each step or twenty steps, and each step represents
2:42:25
a level of comfort, each step represents a deepening of
2:42:38
that comfort, and the furvies you walk down those steps
2:42:49
that are deeper and more relaxed, you feel so Starting
2:43:01
with number twenty twenty nineteen, eighteen seventeen, sisting eight four
2:48:33
four two two five eight nine h.
2:54:31
Speaker 4: H A.
2:54:50
Speaker 1: U s F s five four four one.
3:03:40
Speaker 2: And now.
3:03:45
Speaker 1: As you focus on your eyes, we're going to count
3:03:57
down from ten douts one. Focus in just on your eyes,
3:04:13
your eyelids, the muscles.
3:04:15
Speaker 2: Around your eyes, your.
3:04:19
Speaker 1: Eye wolves themselves, our whole area that makes up your eye.
3:04:39
And as we count down from ten down to one,
3:04:47
whilst focus in on your eyes, you'll become twice. This
3:05:00
is relaxed.
3:05:03
Speaker 2: With each number counting down, and you may find.
3:05:16
Speaker 1: The all you want to do is just drift off
3:05:22
to sleep. And if that's what you want, then just
3:05:32
allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes,
3:05:47
I'm going to begin counting down from ten down to
3:05:52
one right now two nine eight seven y.
3:10:05
Speaker 2: Five four.
3:12:29
Speaker 1: Three two one. So counting down from ten to one
3:15:22
ten nine eight seven six.
3:15:35
Speaker 2: Five four.
3:15:40
Speaker 1: Three two.
3:15:47
Speaker 2: One.
3:15:54
Speaker 1: And maybe that was a bit too quick in order
3:15:57
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you
3:16:01
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a
3:16:11
little bit of pressure there, like you're counting down from
3:16:15
ten to one. Would you expect me to do? Man,
3:16:18
expect me to stick go with floppy just because you're
3:16:22
counting down. We could try it again, but this time
3:16:32
I go this slower this time, as you focus on
3:16:39
the whole of your body before we focus on your legs.
3:16:46
Just notice how your body does start to feel more
3:16:55
relaxed with every number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six,
3:17:44
five four three two one, And just notice how how
3:18:53
you feel, generally, how your body feels. It's not necessarily
3:19:03
even about counting down from ten to one. It's that
3:19:14
space that you have, that space between being active physically
3:19:34
or mentally to just sitting or lying down and just
3:19:43
being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, not needing
3:19:49
to think about anything. So that opens up a space,
3:19:55
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And
3:20:05
the more I came down from ten to one, the
3:20:09
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,
3:20:19
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves
3:20:36
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.
3:20:52
Allows you.
3:20:56
Speaker 2: To just.
3:21:00
Speaker 1: Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,
3:21:07
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,
3:21:17
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the
3:21:23
gap and gives you that distance, that space.
3:21:43
Speaker 2: Now ten.
3:21:53
Speaker 1: Nine eight, seven, six, five four three two.
3:23:38
Speaker 5: One.
3:23:50
Speaker 1: How does your body feel can you notice do you
3:24:12
feeling calmer, the feeling.
3:24:24
Speaker 2: More relaxed.
3:24:48
Speaker 1: As we now focus on your legs, just your legs.
3:25:08
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,
3:25:28
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because
3:25:37
I'm sure like most of your body is not a
3:25:39
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole
3:25:52
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides
3:25:59
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,
3:26:06
and your inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh
3:26:11
that leads into your hip and it goes down to
3:26:20
your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's
3:26:34
a very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest
3:26:40
muscles in your body are in your thighs. But I
3:26:53
don't think we perhaps give enough attention and to our thighs.
3:27:08
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to
3:27:19
our lives, how much they actually do for us all
3:27:39
through our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,
3:27:50
but I think that all of our body parts, especially
3:27:58
our thighs, need some TLC. A bit of love shown, a.
3:28:07
Speaker 2: Bit of.
3:28:14
Speaker 1: Acknowledgment. I thank you gratitude for what our thighs do
3:28:26
for us. And I know this may sound a bit strange.
3:28:39
Maybe you think, why am I. Surely I should be
3:28:42
out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,
3:28:51
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.
3:28:54
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be
3:28:56
outside hugging a tree. I can't see the television from
3:29:00
the tree. If you move down to your knees gain
3:29:11
such an important part. And I think we don't necessarily
3:29:21
I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all
3:29:28
that my knees do for me until I have a
3:29:34
problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if.
3:29:37
Speaker 2: I ever.
3:29:38
Speaker 1: Maybe i'll bash it or it's aching for some reason.
3:29:44
It's then that I realize how much it does. You know,
3:29:50
the benefit of being able to use my legs without
3:29:58
any kind of physical DESI comfort is a beautiful thing
3:30:05
that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know
3:30:13
that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees, regardless
3:30:22
of how your knees feel, you can have that sense
3:30:28
of gratitude and love to your knees for all that
3:30:34
they do for you, and you can still have that
3:30:46
attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel.
3:30:54
Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as
3:31:12
you focus now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins,
3:31:18
and your calf muscles, and the bones between your knees
3:31:24
and your feet, incorporating of course, your ankles so important.
3:31:38
Anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain of an
3:31:42
ankle knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.
3:31:57
And it's kind of strange in a way when you
3:31:59
think that. You know, logically, our wrists are a lot
3:32:04
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,
3:32:09
it doesn't can't see any problem with that because we're
3:32:13
just picking stuff up. But our ankles so much thinner
3:32:21
than the rest of our legs, and from a physics
3:32:30
perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense that
3:32:35
all this weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles
3:32:44
then leading to your feet. That thin area, thin bone. Yeah,
3:32:58
it does so much great work, supports us, supports our
3:33:04
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, it helps
3:33:15
you to get her around and be mobile. And there's
3:33:28
the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I
3:33:36
couldn't see the point in calf muscles. It didn't seem
3:33:39
to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,
3:33:45
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course
3:33:49
that's not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever
3:33:53
we use her legs and your shins there to protect
3:34:07
your lower legs, shaped in a way, almost as a
3:34:16
protector for the bone, leading of course to your ankles
3:34:32
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on
3:34:38
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.
3:34:42
And I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet,
3:34:47
it probably focusing on them anyway, So maybe I should
3:34:52
focus on your feet.
3:34:53
Speaker 2: A little bit.
3:34:57
Speaker 1: You can have them in your awareness the same as
3:35:02
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we
3:35:06
haven't been focusing on your thighs for a few minutes
3:35:12
that we're focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation
3:35:23
of comfort in your thighs, and this that movement of
3:35:39
energy because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,
3:35:48
there's the muscles, the big strong muscles that we have
3:35:53
in our thighs. But the skin on the outside of
3:36:07
the thighs, as in the outside of.
3:36:11
Speaker 2: All of our body, can be very.
3:36:14
Speaker 1: Sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature. And inside
3:36:32
your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,
3:36:40
the ar trees, all this stuff that's inside your thighs.
3:36:50
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could
3:36:53
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and a message,
3:37:01
so you can message on the outside, of course, but
3:37:04
to be able to get deep into the muscles, and
3:37:08
to be able to just massage inside your thighs, message
3:37:13
in the bones of your leg, massage in all the veins,
3:37:22
and just gently healing your thighs, and you could move
3:37:32
down message and inside your knees, just message in those bones,
3:37:40
but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into
3:37:48
the joints of your knees. Of course, there's the back
3:37:57
of your your knee, the inside crease where your knee is.
3:38:05
It's a very sensitive area, very it feels very nice
3:38:11
when you stroke it. That might be because it's an
3:38:15
area that's not really touched very often. It's almost like
3:38:21
a hidden part, that crease in your legs. It's almost
3:38:30
like a part that has a sensitivity, which is a
3:38:34
little bit different. Of course, it's protected by your legs.
3:38:52
So you can imagine putting your fingers into that crease
3:38:58
in your legs, that fold in between your legs. You
3:39:07
can just message with your fingertips. At your fingertips going inside,
3:39:14
massage in the muscle tissue you can cause field the
3:39:24
bones of your knees heading through your fingertips, and then
3:39:37
as you go down to your calf muscles. Now that's
3:39:42
the part I'd like to be able to really put
3:39:46
my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, massage in every
3:39:55
single tissue of that muscle, using every part, and then
3:40:07
doing the same for my shins, massaging and gently stroking
3:40:15
the bones, gently stroking them, hewing in a loving way,
3:40:23
because they deserve to be treated as the precious bones
3:40:29
that they are, Because our legs are so precious as
3:40:34
in all the other parts of our body, and more
3:40:39
precious than anytual on the planet. When you start to
3:40:55
think about your legs in this way, it can change
3:41:06
your perspective, It might sound a bit a bit silly
3:41:16
to start with the idea of having love for your legs,
3:41:23
showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting to be able to
3:41:31
put your hands in your thighs and massage the muscles
3:41:39
and the bones, and to get your fingers deep in there,
3:41:45
releasing all tension, just to show.
3:41:53
Speaker 2: How much you care.
3:41:57
Speaker 1: About your legs.
3:42:00
Speaker 2: How m do you care for what your legs.
3:42:03
Speaker 1: Do for you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles,
3:42:17
the strength of your ankles, considering how thin they are
3:42:24
compared to the rest of your legs, especially your thighs,
3:42:32
yet they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your
3:42:44
ankles are truly a gift because of what they do
3:42:54
for you. Brought in all that weight, regardless of how
3:43:05
what weight you are, even if you only eat ate stone,
3:43:11
it's still a lot of weight for these little ankles. Now,
3:43:18
I'm a lot heavier than.
3:43:20
Speaker 2: Each stone double down, Yet my ankles.
3:43:29
Speaker 1: Support my body all the time, whethough they do give
3:43:36
off a sigh of relief when.
3:43:38
Speaker 2: I sit down.
3:43:41
Speaker 1: That'sat my whole legs do. My feet feet also go
3:43:51
and my toes clap.
3:43:53
Speaker 2: We're so happy.
3:44:14
Speaker 1: Your legs really are amazing. And I know that talking
3:44:23
about talking about your legs is probably possibly among the
3:44:29
most most boring things I've ever heard anyone say. Possibly
3:44:38
they're boring or not, everything I said is true. Your
3:44:45
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, They
3:45:05
deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time
3:45:18
out of the day to just let go completely. The
3:45:42
legs really can relax. And because the legs are so
3:46:01
such a most, you know, very important part of your body.
3:46:07
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body
3:46:10
also naturally follows in that.
3:46:19
Speaker 2: Journey of comfort. I can feel it.
3:46:29
Speaker 1: In my hips. My hips feel really loose, and also
3:46:38
in my lower back as well. My lower back really
3:46:43
feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting in
3:46:48
a chair and there's no stretching as far as I'm
3:46:54
aware that I'm doing. But it's almost as if the
3:46:57
muscles are just relaxed so much that there is a
3:47:01
natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot. And
3:47:26
I'm now going to count down from ten down to one,
3:47:33
and you can continue to feel wonderfully relaxed. Ten nine
3:47:51
eight seven six, five, four three two one.
3:48:26
Speaker 2: Relax.
3:48:35
Speaker 1: So I'm just going to count down from five down
3:48:39
to one. And as a countdown, if you just focus
3:48:43
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice
3:48:52
how you feel in this moment. Do you hear the
3:49:00
numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent
3:49:09
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also
3:49:21
relaxing your mind. I just notice how you feel. There's
3:49:27
nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to
3:49:33
think about, starting with number five, four, three two.
3:50:16
Speaker 2: One.
3:50:25
Speaker 1: Now, as you notice the gradual letting go the tension
3:50:38
in your body, you may also begin to notice and
3:50:45
be aware of how your mind is starting to slow down.
3:50:57
This is just a natural thing that happens. It's not
3:51:04
really a special procedure. It's just natural because as your
3:51:10
body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax. And the
3:51:16
more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's
3:51:20
just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there is that
3:51:31
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even
3:51:39
if there's background sounds either your side online, it's still
3:51:47
going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got
3:51:52
the television on. There's no music in the background unless
3:51:57
you're listening to the recording. With music, of course, you're
3:52:05
very likely not going to be sitting in a room
3:52:07
with other people. Of course you might be, but generally
3:52:12
it's more ideal if you can do this on your own,
3:52:17
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,
3:52:33
relaxation automatically rises, a sense of comfort starts to grow,
3:52:48
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical
3:52:55
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something
3:53:07
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost the sense
3:53:18
of relaxing completely happens really when you put no effort
3:53:25
into it. It's not something that you can really force.
3:53:32
It's something that happens naturally. And part of the process
3:53:41
of this recording and others is simply two allow you
3:53:55
to take advantage of this space, this time, to just
3:54:10
let go, to just be here, to be in tune
3:54:21
with how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting
3:54:34
to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending
3:54:46
on what it is that you wish for yourself in
3:54:52
this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority of
3:55:09
the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part
3:55:14
is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed
3:55:22
you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. You can also,
3:55:44
if you choose, stay focused on my voice and really
3:55:55
enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle in your body
3:56:30
effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.
3:57:05
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,
3:57:14
and you can notice your mind calming down more with
3:57:23
each number.
3:57:26
Speaker 2: That you hear me.
3:57:28
Speaker 1: Say, naturally, feeling calm.
3:57:38
Speaker 2: And slow.
3:57:42
Speaker 1: And peaceful. Six, five, four, three two one, being aware
4:00:38
of hell. Your mind to slow right down, sinking deeply
4:00:56
into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind, you
4:01:17
may notice that there are some thoughts still there, maybe
4:01:26
some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need your attention.
4:01:43
So what you can do is send love to those thoughts.
4:01:55
Sprinkle those thoughts.
4:02:02
Speaker 2: With love.
4:02:04
Speaker 1: Like all petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,
4:02:10
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those
4:02:17
thoughts know that you're not abandoned in them. You just
4:02:24
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet,
4:02:37
down for now, So as you focus on those remaining
4:02:53
thoughts as we count down this time from seven down
4:02:58
to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower
4:03:07
petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which will
4:03:27
allow them to just melt away and relax deeply. With
4:03:37
every number, those thoughts will become more and more relaxed,
4:03:57
starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, two one.
4:06:28
And as you now notice how relaxed you're feeling in
4:06:45
your body, were going to focus on your hands, because
4:07:06
the more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your
4:07:13
body and mind are.
4:07:30
Speaker 2: And there's.
4:07:32
Speaker 1: You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing
4:07:43
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or
4:07:49
tents in the fingers or anything like that. It's just
4:07:59
no justicing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.
4:08:28
Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the calmer your
4:08:39
mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout your body.
4:08:56
Speaker 2: And you may.
4:09:02
Speaker 1: Have already noticed you mind is starting to dress fain
4:09:49
just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to experience
4:10:06
a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands and fingers.
4:10:21
More and more relaxed with each number from eight down
4:10:43
to one. You can almost feel that healing and relaxing
4:10:56
energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming yearn more
4:11:15
relaxing with each number.
4:11:23
Speaker 2: You hear.
4:11:27
Speaker 1: Going down from eight down to one, drifting, drifting again,
4:11:47
starting with number eight, seven, six, five, four three two
4:15:00
yeah h h. Just being here now, nothing to think about,
4:15:57
nothing to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer.
4:16:13
And this is your natural state of being. This is
4:16:20
how you just normally feel when you take away all
4:16:27
that other stuff that we add, you know, things like
4:16:35
stress and worrying and overthinking and anxiety, tension, just generally
4:16:51
thinking about stuff. You take that away, which is what
4:16:57
we do. What we do now you're left with a
4:17:09
real sense of peacefulness which comes to you very quickly
4:17:22
because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort.
4:17:36
It's almost as if you've gone inside yourself and you've
4:17:40
found a special place where everything is peaceful, a place
4:17:55
where you can feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort,
4:18:06
a place where you can be you, where you can
4:18:14
accept yourself for who you are, a place where you're
4:18:20
not trying to please anybody else ever. A place where
4:18:31
you can actually not just love yourself, but in some
4:18:41
ways more importantly, you can like yourself, appreciate who you
4:18:50
are of gratitude is in the air all around you.
4:19:13
That's also a place where you can actually feel the
4:19:21
healing energy soaking into your body. Heathing energy soaking into
4:19:37
your body, and the healing energy spreads through your veins,
4:19:50
traveling to each and every single part of your body,
4:20:03
and you start to realize that actually that healing energy,
4:20:10
it's not just entered into your brain, it's become part
4:20:17
of your brain, and that spinal fluid is now mixed
4:20:29
with healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so
4:20:40
much more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but also
4:20:55
you start to realize that actually, what's happening now with
4:21:03
that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body, it's actually
4:21:13
changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're going
4:21:23
to feel not just now, but tomorrow and the next day.
4:21:32
As your health improves, not just your physical health but
4:21:39
your mental health. Things that used to bother you in
4:21:47
the past, for some reason, no longer have the effect
4:21:55
that they used to because something things changed deep within
4:22:04
you maybe things that used to cause you to feel
4:22:15
anger no longer have that power to control you the
4:22:29
way they seem to be able to before. As you
4:22:37
realize that you're the one who decides what affects you,
4:22:50
you're the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm
4:23:01
when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of
4:23:17
healing continuing to grow and improve your life day by day,
4:23:34
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier.
4:23:47
And sleeping is the most natural thing in the world
4:23:58
to you, because falling asleep is something that you've done
4:24:10
so many times in your life, and you know that
4:24:17
you were born, as we all were, with the ability
4:24:24
to fall asleep naturally. We were born with that ability
4:24:38
to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep. Even
4:24:52
when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep when we don't
4:24:57
even want to. I don't think you stay awake. Maybe
4:25:03
it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or
4:25:07
holiday or something we look forward to. We don't want
4:25:10
to go to sleep. But the more we want to
4:25:15
stay awake, the more we just start to drift. And
4:25:24
the more you fight drifting, the more you try to
4:25:28
stop yourself and drift in a shape. The deeper and
4:25:33
stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not just with
4:25:45
the need to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep,
4:25:55
but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA, and
4:26:08
sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at times
4:26:15
we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's not only a
4:26:28
wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very very
4:26:53
easy to let go, because that's all it is.
4:26:58
Speaker 2: It's just.
4:27:02
Speaker 1: Deciding to let go. And when you press the play
4:27:14
button on my recordings, you have given permission for my
4:27:24
voice to relax you. When you press that play button,
4:27:34
you have given me permission for my words to effect
4:27:44
you in a positive, only a positive way, opening up
4:28:01
your mind to useful and healing suggestions that can have
4:28:24
such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,
4:28:36
as well as those changes that continue long after the
4:28:46
recording ends, those changes within you that continue to flourish
4:28:58
and grow, transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way,
4:29:16
allowing you to move forward in your life in the
4:29:23
direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling, this
4:29:40
feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness. This
4:29:56
feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,
4:30:18
and that positivity grows within you each and every day.
4:30:35
Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed
4:30:47
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's
4:30:59
not that you're thinking slower. It's just that your mind
4:31:05
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from
4:31:17
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're
4:31:27
going to start noticing when negativity arises, and you can
4:31:38
just say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn around
4:31:53
and leave you alone. Stop and that negativity would disappear.
4:32:20
And as you notice that you feel way more relaxed
4:32:28
than you probably expected, you can now congratulate yourself because
4:32:44
you're the person that has done this. You are the
4:32:50
one that has opened your mind up to the simple
4:32:55
facts that you can feel more relaxed in your body
4:33:04
and in your mind. You've opened your mind up to
4:33:16
the birthright of being able to just fall asleep easily
4:33:23
when you choose. And that's a nice feeling, don't you
4:33:37
think it feels nice? Doesn't it to feel calm? All
4:33:49
that healing energy is spreading through your body and your
4:33:54
mind to spend time in a special place where negativity
4:34:11
can no longer enter. Negativity is banned, it's barred, it's
4:34:24
not allowed entry doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to
4:34:31
be here. It doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place
4:34:40
in your life, which makes room for more comfort, more heathing,
4:34:59
more real life vexation, more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it.
4:35:26
Just the let go with everything. I'm going to count
4:35:49
down now from twenty down to one. You can continue
4:35:58
to relax. If you choose, you can drift to sleep.
4:36:11
With every number you hear me say, you can fill
4:36:22
twice as relaxed, or if you choose, you can fill
4:36:30
twice sleeping now. Twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.
4:38:59
Speaker 2: Four.
4:39:33
Speaker 1: This is your time to just take a break, your
4:39:43
time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,
4:40:02
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything.
4:40:21
And you, you're the only person that can make that decision.
4:40:28
You're the only person that can actually tell your mind
4:40:36
to just relax, to just take some time off so
4:41:00
that you can focus on your body, getting in touch
4:41:05
with how you feel physically, and in the process of
4:41:23
this body scan, where you focus on different parts of
4:41:28
your body, those parts that you focus on and observe,
4:41:41
even though you're not purposely requesting for those parts of
4:41:50
your body to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect
4:41:59
when you listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally,
4:42:12
because when you're listening to me, your attention is focused
4:42:22
on my words, and as my words guide you to
4:42:33
focus on those parts of your body, your focus increases,
4:42:53
which actually calms your mind. And when your mind calms down,
4:43:14
your body relaxes. And when your body calms down, your
4:43:36
mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started the
4:43:53
focus on your body, you can allay the feel that
4:44:05
healing energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,
4:44:25
healing All the parts of your body, including your skin,
4:44:33
your bones, your blood, all of your organs inside your body,
4:44:42
all of the muscles, all of the fat, all of everything,
4:44:50
every hair on your body is filled with that healing energy.
4:45:04
And when your brain fills with that healing energy, the
4:45:20
feeding of comfort and relaxation increases deeply increases in a
4:45:45
way that your mind starts to fill perhaps spit drown
4:46:05
because it's not needed, and it may start to drift
4:46:24
if that's what's needed. So if you're listening to this
4:46:33
and what you need is deep relaxation, that's what you get.
4:46:40
If what you need is to fall asleep naturally and
4:46:47
easily as your mind drifts, that's also for what happened,
4:47:01
because by pressing that play button on the podcast and
4:47:09
listening to me, you give permission for your body and
4:47:15
your mind. In fact, you give the command to your
4:47:27
body and your mind to relax deeply and to drift
4:47:39
off to sleep, if.
4:47:42
Speaker 2: That's what you want or need.
4:47:56
Speaker 1: And as I focus on the different parts arts of
4:48:01
your body, you may start to just drift. And then
4:48:15
you come back again and you hear me talking, and
4:48:19
I'm focusing on a different part of your body, and
4:48:28
you may find yourself drifting, but you don't realize you're
4:48:37
drifting until you stop drifting and you're alert again to
4:48:46
my voice. Focusing on a different part of your body
4:48:53
starts to relax even deeper, because that drifting is basically
4:49:04
you already.
4:49:07
Speaker 2: In the sleep zone.
4:49:15
Speaker 1: And the more you drift, the longer you drift, and the
4:49:20
longer you drift Eventually that drifting continues into sleep, and
4:49:36
that's the last you remember until you wake up in
4:49:45
your own time, when you experience the right amount of
4:49:50
sleep for you, because when you do.
4:49:59
Speaker 2: And if you do fall.
4:50:00
Speaker 1: Asleep, it's extremely pleasant. So relaxing, so deep healing sleep.
4:50:28
I'm going it feels so nice to relax into your
4:50:35
own body and mind as you as you feel that
4:50:44
healing energy is spreading through it, relaxing, Use so deeply, relaxing,
4:50:58
use so so deeply. As we start to focus on
4:51:15
your eyes, moving down to your jaw, down to your neck,
4:51:45
your shoulders, arms, hand, fingers, your chest and stomach, your back,
4:52:40
your spine, your hips, your.
4:52:58
Speaker 2: Legs, your feet, your.
4:53:16
Speaker 1: Toes, and they're feedingeings, spreading and growing inside your body,
4:53:47
feeling you up. Now let's focus again more parts of
4:53:59
your body, focusing this time on your forehead. Now on
4:54:13
your mouth, your lips, your tongue, the whole of your mouth.
4:54:35
Focus in on your fingers. Maybe you could move your
4:54:46
fingers a little bits. You can focus on each one individually,
4:54:58
both hands, and even though if you focus on both
4:55:05
of your hands now they almost seemed to just melt
4:55:11
into one. Where does your right hand. Start in your
4:55:20
left hand end, almost as if just mixed together. Now,
4:55:35
focusing on your knees, just noticing how your knees fell. Now,
4:56:03
focusing on your elbows, focusing on both of your elbows,
4:56:17
just observing the feeling of your elbows. Now focusing observing
4:56:54
the back of your neck, feeding the energy the back
4:57:10
of your neck, obsurving your ankles, being aware physical sensations
4:58:02
in don't ankles noticin now your toes on both of
4:59:16
your feet, being aware how your toes feel right now,
5:00:08
notice thin, how your entire body feels, noticing your mind
5:00:46
feels now, letting go, letting go, letting go everything, letting go,
5:01:49
letting go, letting go, h everything e sing. I'm going
5:02:24
to start now, and I would like you just, first
5:02:27
of all, just to see yourself.
5:02:30
Speaker 2: Lying down.
5:02:33
Speaker 1: On that message table, lying on your front. Your head
5:02:38
is supported, your arms are supported, and you feel comfortable
5:02:47
and breathing. It's really easy, and you feel you feel
5:02:57
confident in how you look as well. So there's none
5:03:00
of that issue of body problems or shyness, because I'm.
5:03:06
Speaker 2: A professional and.
5:03:10
Speaker 1: This is a therapy session, so none of that stuff
5:03:15
matters whatsoever. This is about you. This is about how
5:03:26
you feel and how you can enjoy that sense of
5:03:34
comfort and relaxation that comes from letting go and allowing
5:03:41
my hands and my fingers to relax you by a
5:03:48
message your body. So I want to start off just
5:03:57
by placing my hands on the back of your head,
5:04:03
just gently, just so you can feel what my hands
5:04:08
feel like really on you. So you can maybe feel
5:04:15
the warmth of my hands on the back of your head.
5:04:21
With my hands to the side of your head, not pressing,
5:04:25
but just holding there very gently, maybe over your ears,
5:04:32
and a little bit on your face, just so you
5:04:35
can feel my hands.
5:04:39
Speaker 2: So you can become accustomed to them.
5:04:51
Speaker 1: And now put my hands on the back of your
5:04:54
head again and gently let them slide down on to
5:05:01
the back of your neck. You can feel my hands
5:05:18
gently stroking the back of your neck to start with,
5:05:25
just so you can get used to the feeling with
5:05:29
my hands on your skin, get accustomed to realize that
5:05:37
you're safe and it's all good, it's all fine. And
5:05:47
I'm going to start gently messaging the muscles in the
5:05:52
back of your neck with both hands. Now, this is
5:06:08
a very trusting situation, really, because our necks are so fragile,
5:06:16
and to have someone have their hands around your neck
5:06:20
in that way can sometimes be problematic for people, which
5:06:26
is why massages are quite good, because it allows you
5:06:30
to relax and to get in touch with trust, to
5:06:44
feel peaceful and calm. And there's a massage the sides
5:06:57
of your neck gently.
5:07:02
Speaker 2: Moving from the bottom of your neck.
5:07:07
Speaker 1: It would be sort of near where your shoulders start,
5:07:09
I guess, all the way up to your jaw, your ears,
5:07:17
kind of area that side of your neck. Of course,
5:07:22
it's a lot longer than the front of your neck.
5:07:38
The message in the back of your neck, especially that
5:07:45
area where perhaps we hold tension, and as that area's message,
5:07:55
you can actually feel a sense of release in the
5:07:59
back of your neck, and maybe you can breathe it
5:08:07
out as well. Notice how it feels. Notice how you feel.
5:08:23
They're moving down to that area between your neck and
5:08:27
your shoulders, that muscle area, starting to message that area
5:08:37
on both sides. I mean, this would be the area
5:08:41
that a lot of people would message if they were
5:08:44
going to give you like a shoulder message. Even that's
5:08:49
not technically the shoulders, but it's all the muscles that
5:08:53
lead to the shoulders from the neck and again that
5:09:00
whole tension and stress, and when massaged sometimes a nice
5:09:07
deep message is useful, and you decide how deep that
5:09:15
message is, and just allow my knuckles just to dig in,
5:09:34
to get to those muscles and to really relaxed all
5:09:43
the time being firm yet gentle with you and just
5:10:01
stroking down the area to your actual shoulders, moving to
5:10:10
the muscles of your shoulders, and maybe initially just pulling
5:10:21
up the shoulders a little bit off the table, just
5:10:25
to give you a little bit of a stretch, but
5:10:29
very gently.
5:10:36
Speaker 2: And you've got the.
5:10:37
Speaker 1: Muscles at the front of your shoulders, the sides and
5:10:40
the back. Again, this is a part that can really
5:10:53
take quite a bit of pressure, quite a bit of
5:11:00
needing if if you wish to really release the tension
5:11:09
to really get into those muscles, and you can let
5:11:15
your fingers in there. They can feel really nice. Sometimes
5:11:22
just being stroked gently or being massaged quite strongly, it
5:11:33
can all be beneficial to the relaxation. Put the muscles
5:11:43
in your shoulders. Now to move down your arms, we
5:12:02
do one arm at a time, starting with your right arm.
5:12:13
Well I do is I just lift your arm up,
5:12:17
just hold it to the side of you the way
5:12:22
it still be attached, and I just message the tops
5:12:29
of your arms all the way down to your forearms,
5:12:45
into your wrists, gently massaging that parts, the softer part,
5:13:09
which is the under part of the arm, which leads
5:13:16
to the crease in your elbow, the inside it's much
5:13:21
more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked, I feel
5:13:38
really nice, pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down to your
5:13:55
right hand, just holding your hand in both of my hands,
5:14:14
just pressing gently on the back of your hand and
5:14:20
stretching your fingers ever so lightly at the same time,
5:14:31
pressing down and massaging each finger, and then starting to
5:14:44
massage the palms of the hand. Just turning the hand gently,
5:14:57
stretching it gently, and actually having your hand held can
5:15:07
really be an emotional experience sometimes, even if it is
5:15:14
a stranger. So when you don't know very well, like
5:15:19
a massage person or a therapist, maybe because it's intimate
5:15:34
and you can feel nice, you can feel safe. And
5:15:47
as I put that right arm back down where it was,
5:15:56
did the same with your left arm, exactly the same,
5:16:07
massage in the muscles in your arm all the way
5:16:12
down to your rest, stroking the inside of your arm,
5:16:26
just being gentle or as firm as you require, and
5:16:39
then massaging your left hand, stretching the fingers, gently massaging
5:16:56
the palm of your left hand. And you feel so
5:17:15
so relaxing, so comforting, and I just rest your left
5:17:40
arm back down. Start to message your back, the biggest
5:17:54
part of your body, starting at the top, starting again
5:18:06
where we already be have been, the area at the
5:18:09
top in between your shoulders, near your neck. Going back,
5:18:16
a massage in that area again, but this time moving downwards,
5:18:28
taking a downward stroke to the middle of your back,
5:18:36
working from the outside inwards. It's a massage in the
5:18:44
your back, but the the outsides of your back parts
5:18:57
where your arms would maybe rest against, almost the part
5:19:09
that connects your front to your back, and just messaging
5:19:23
down firmly but gently, as firm as you want, moving
5:19:34
down and moving across a little bed, and moving all
5:19:38
the way down again, being very gentle yet firm as
5:19:45
you choose. Eventually we get to the spine. We can
5:19:56
massage the muscles and either side of your spine, from
5:20:01
the top of your neck all the way down to
5:20:07
your lower back. We can do that a few times.
5:20:19
Sometimes people use the knuckle or the you know two
5:20:26
fingers and just go your side of the spine almost
5:20:33
just push down, go all the way down to the
5:20:36
bottom of the spine, each time releasing tension and opening
5:20:44
up the body, stretching your body so that you feel
5:20:54
more relaxed but at the same time.
5:20:59
Speaker 2: Red ned.
5:21:11
Speaker 1: And now I'm going to move to one side, to
5:21:15
your right side, and from the bottom of your ribs
5:21:24
to your pelvis, I'm going to massage that area of
5:21:30
your back. I'll stretch over the other side and i
5:21:35
will pull the muscles gently and massage and push from
5:21:41
one end that side or way to my side to
5:21:46
the middle of fact to where your spine is. Massage
5:21:51
in that side of your spine the opposite side to
5:21:56
where I'm standing. It's almost like kneading bread. There's that
5:22:04
big area which is firm yet lots there to message.
5:22:16
Potentially one of the most important places to actually have
5:22:21
a message, because you really feel it. You really feel
5:22:29
the release and the pleasure of having your lower back massaged.
5:22:37
It releases so much from your body that's not useful,
5:22:46
starting a healing process which will continue long after this
5:22:52
recording is over. The message in this part of your
5:23:04
body not only feels really good for you. It's actually
5:23:10
fun to do because it is, as I said, like
5:23:14
kneading bread, it's a part that you can really get
5:23:19
hold of and really message deeply. If that's your choice,
5:23:35
then I'm going to move over to the other side
5:23:36
of your body and do the same with the opposite
5:23:43
part of your lawer back, kneading and messaging from your
5:23:53
sides all the way to the middle of your back
5:24:00
where your spine is pressing and kneading firm and gentle
5:24:14
at the same time. It feels so releasing this mixture
5:24:23
of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation or mixed together. Plus
5:24:39
there's that feeling from your stomach as it's being stretched.
5:24:45
Speaker 2: Even though you're in your stomach.
5:24:47
Speaker 1: Now, you can feel it being stretched because that whole
5:24:51
area is connected to your stomach. Now we're going to
5:25:02
move or move further up to your top of your
5:25:07
body and I we do the same this time, starting
5:25:15
with your upper back. Put my hands forward over and
5:25:21
mess it massage in that area up to your spine,
5:25:28
from the side of your body up to your spine.
5:25:33
So some of that massage area, the muscle tissue or
5:25:39
whatever fatty tissue even will be possibly from your chest,
5:25:45
because all connected chest and the back connect together.
5:25:52
Speaker 2: I'm going to be.
5:25:53
Speaker 1: Massaging and just pulling some of that skin from your
5:25:58
side up and massaging.
5:26:03
Speaker 2: That area of your upper back all the way to
5:26:10
your spine.
5:26:15
Speaker 1: And then I'll move down a bit and I'll continue with
5:26:18
the middle of your back, doing exactly the same thing.
5:26:25
Speaker 2: As gentle, as.
5:26:28
Speaker 1: Deep as you choose. Now I'll move the other side
5:26:40
again and do the exact same thing with the top
5:26:45
of your back on the other side, from pretty much
5:26:54
underneath your arm area really to your spine, and then
5:27:08
continuing that all the way down, including the lower your
5:27:15
middle of your back. I'm gonna go to your thighs,
5:27:34
the backs of your thighs, and the sides of your thighs,
5:27:43
starting with your right leg.
5:27:47
Speaker 2: Massage in the back.
5:27:52
Speaker 1: And the sides of your thighs gently and firmly. There's
5:28:01
a lot of muscles there.
5:28:03
Speaker 2: It's an area that can be very.
5:28:05
Speaker 1: Tense at times and maybe needs a little bit more
5:28:09
pressure than the rest of the body that's up to you.
5:28:18
You can gently stroke the back of your legs where
5:28:25
you know, opposite your knee joint or underneath your knee joint,
5:28:31
very sensitive gentle area, and then working down to your
5:28:44
calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply,
5:28:53
if you choose, using both hands.
5:29:03
Speaker 2: And fingers, digging deep.
5:29:13
Speaker 1: To your ankles, in the back of your back of
5:29:19
your ankles, just gently massage in that area, maybe lifting
5:29:33
the leg and stretching a little bit. Moving to the
5:29:49
right foot, massaging the bottom of your feet and the
5:30:07
sides of your feet gently but firm enough so they
5:30:18
don't tickle, and just allow the pleasure that you get
5:30:29
from heaving your feet massaged to just overtake you as
5:30:38
I continue to message your feet, the bottoms of your feet,
5:30:45
the sides, your arches, your heel. You can put a
5:30:54
lot of pressure into your heel and it feels amazing,
5:31:00
yet the arches need to be a bit more gentle.
5:31:08
Stretching your toes gently, the massage in the bottoms of
5:31:14
your toes with my fingers, each one individually. Moving over
5:31:31
to the left leg to do exactly the same thing.
5:31:38
Starting at the top of the thighs, work in the
5:31:45
back of the thighs and the sides, massaging deeply and
5:31:50
gently the whole area, working all the way down. And
5:32:07
this is an area that maybe you could like to
5:32:12
spend more time relaxing and messaging. So perhaps if you
5:32:21
wanted like a bigger future recording, want's spend more time
5:32:27
on one particular area. As you moved down to your
5:32:38
calf muscles, Massagy in your calf muscles, firmly and gently,
5:32:58
moving down you aincor into your feet, Massage in the
5:33:07
backs of your feet, the bottoms of your feet, stretching
5:33:17
your toes, and message in each tone individually. And then
5:33:24
feeling of pleasure and release that you experience when your
5:33:29
having your feet massaged feels really good. Now, she turn
5:33:52
over in your mind. Laying on your back, I'm just
5:34:03
gonna start again for your neck area, in your shoulders,
5:34:20
just to get back in touch with that area. And
5:34:31
as we move up, I can clean my hands, make
5:34:42
them more fresh, because now I'm gonna message your face gently,
5:34:53
starting off with your forehead. Your eyes are closed and
5:35:04
I can just stretch your eyes a little bit, pushing
5:35:10
up on your eyebrows, just massaging around your scalp, massaging
5:35:27
down your cheeks, around your ears, into your chaw, gently.
5:35:42
Speaker 2: The sides of your neck chin mm hmm, and just
5:36:00
moving down.
5:36:05
Speaker 1: From your neck down to your chest, starting by message
5:36:12
in the very top of your chest where the collarbone is.
5:36:22
Give a side of the collarbone, and then just message
5:36:34
in the hole of the chest, moving the chest around.
5:36:55
Because it's quite a large area, you can move from
5:37:00
one side to the next, moving my hands underneath pretty
5:37:11
much where your arms are stretching up, stretching some of
5:37:20
the muscles of your back in the process, moving up
5:37:30
over your chest.
5:37:35
Speaker 2: And they're moving down again.
5:37:49
Speaker 1: Then allowing my hands they just message gently and slide
5:37:55
down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,
5:38:05
and then gradually my hand's moving apart and massage in
5:38:12
and sliding at the same time, moving down to just
5:38:21
below your rib cage, moving down, then massaging up again,
5:38:40
giving your chest all the attention.
5:38:45
Speaker 2: That it needs.
5:38:47
Speaker 1: To feel completely relaxed, remembering the I'm also going to
5:39:00
be focusing on your sides as well, an area that
5:39:06
really doesn't get much attention but feels really good when
5:39:13
it's massaged. Just stroking my hands down the sides of
5:39:22
your body, just below your arms, all the way down
5:39:29
to your hips. Now moving to your stomach area. I'm
5:39:44
going to stand one side of you like I did
5:39:48
when I did your lower back, I'm gonna do a
5:39:52
similar process of just stretching the muscles from your side,
5:40:02
gently massaging from one side to the next, move in
5:40:16
a whole area from below your ribs all the way
5:40:21
down to below your belly button, and then move around
5:40:32
to the other side of you and repeat that process
5:40:42
of relaxing deeply, calmly. You feel loose, you feel free.
5:40:57
And it's something about having your stomach massage that's different
5:41:02
from any other part because we do have a tendency
5:41:09
of holding a different kind of stress in our stomach
5:41:15
that we may not be aware of.
5:41:22
Speaker 5: There's an now.
5:41:23
Speaker 1: Massage your stomach in front of your stomach, making circles
5:41:32
around your belly button.
5:41:40
Speaker 2: Thing going the other way around.
5:41:48
Speaker 1: There's a gentleness and a freedom that comes from feeling
5:41:55
how you're feeling. As I now move down the tops
5:42:05
of your thighs the muscles, massaging them, and I can
5:42:12
do this two legs at the same time, pressing down,
5:42:21
massaging deeply those muscles in your thighs, the front of
5:42:27
your thighs, and moving down to your knees, gently massaging
5:42:38
your knees, sliding down your shins, putting pressure on either
5:42:49
side of your shin gently softly but firmly, moving down
5:43:02
to your ankles, stroking the tops of your feet, and
5:43:17
then with each foot in each hand, just gently messaging
5:43:24
the whole of the foot, the top, the bottom. You'll
5:43:32
heel your ankle, your toes, messaging every part of your feet.
5:43:45
Feels so good to select go and enjoy the process.
5:43:57
Enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed, so much comfort, and so
5:44:16
many feelings to come just from touching your skin.
5:44:33
Speaker 2: And you can just.
5:44:35
Speaker 1: Lie there for as long as you choose, enjoying the
5:44:44
feeling of deep comfort from being massaged.
5:44:55
Speaker 2: By me.
5:45:02
Speaker 1: Enjoy the.
5:45:11
Speaker 2: Deeply right, And all we're gonna do is blow out
5:45:28
some candles.
5:45:32
Speaker 1: In your mind, there are going to be a hundred candles,
5:45:54
and you're going to blow each one out individually, why
5:46:00
by one, starting at one hundred. As I count down
5:46:13
all the way down to one, and each time I
5:46:20
say a number, you can imagine that candle in front
5:46:29
of you, and I'd like you to actually physically generally
5:46:40
blow that candle out, just so it's not big blow,
5:46:55
it's just a gentle and that candle will extinguish. And
5:47:10
then I'll say the next number. As we move down,
5:47:17
then you can just plot that one out as well.
5:47:30
And as we move down the numbers, you'll find yourself
5:47:39
feeding more and more relaxed. If you need to sleep,
5:47:49
you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact,
5:48:01
you may struggle to blow out all one hundred of
5:48:11
these candles as you feel more and more deeply relaxed,
5:48:36
more and more deeply tired, And the further you go down,
5:48:57
the more you mind starts to drift. You may find
5:49:11
that you stop listening to me after a while. And
5:49:26
even though there may be background sounds where you are,
5:49:35
you'll be aware of those sounds at the moment, be
5:49:46
may start to just not even notice them at all
5:50:04
because they're unimportant.
5:50:14
Speaker 2: Where I am, I've.
5:50:17
Speaker 1: Got the sounds of the birds, there's horrors, the pigeon
5:50:24
who likes to say hello sometimes, and there's the odd
5:50:30
plane that goes by, maybe traffic and trains in the distance,
5:50:48
But none of that seems important whatsoever. Or candles you
5:51:00
blow out, the less important anything is more candles you
5:51:15
blow out. The further you seem to move away.
5:51:31
Speaker 2: From sounds and from.
5:51:36
Speaker 1: General date days, stuff seems to just move away on
5:51:50
its own. You feel more calm with every candle you
5:52:07
blow out, guiding the next number, do you hear me say?
5:52:34
And then you blow that candle out too? So easy,
5:52:51
so simple. We're gonna start by introducing the first candle,
5:53:15
which is a hundred. First candles one hundred. When you
5:53:34
blow that candle out, you'll find immediately a light change
5:53:54
in how you feel, as well as the real sense
5:54:03
of positivity growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding. Starting
5:54:34
with one hundred, blow out that candle now ninety nine,
5:55:21
candle ninety eight, candle ninety seven, sammy see and ninety
5:57:04
five and ninety four, candle ninety three and ninety two

6:44:32
Speaker 1: Y jame do nine and eight jen six camp.
6:49:12
Speaker 2: Can do, FO can do two two can or let
6:52:15
go of all of.
6:52:17
Speaker 1: Those thoughts, worries, concerns about the past, thoughts about the future,
6:52:26
and even things you've been thinking about today.
6:52:31
Speaker 2: Just let it all go.
6:52:36
Speaker 1: Because none of it is useful in this moment. This
6:52:44
is your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed, allowing
6:53:03
yourself to get in touch with that natural sense of
6:53:12
peace that we all have within us. It's available for everyone.
6:53:21
It just sometimes takes a little bit of effort to
6:53:27
set up the right time and place in order for
6:53:33
you to just let go. Because when you do decide
6:53:42
to let go and relax, that's what your body starts
6:53:47
to do because you've chosen, You've chosen to just allow
6:53:58
your body to unworry, and your mind starts to slow down.
6:54:07
And it's a nice feeling. It's a nice feeling at
6:54:11
the beginning, just to know that you have chosen to
6:54:17
decide to relax deeply, and because you've made that decision,
6:54:28
your body will just follow suit. Because sometimes all the
6:54:36
muscles in your body need is just permission from you
6:54:41
to relax. Because so often we're busy, we're going from
6:54:50
here to there, we're walking around and we're doing.
6:54:54
Speaker 2: Stuff and the body doesn't have.
6:54:59
Speaker 1: Any time or space to really relax deeply, so it
6:55:09
kind of waits for you to lead the way, waits
6:55:14
for your permission.
6:55:19
Speaker 2: And when you do.
6:55:21
Speaker 1: Give your permission, when you give the say so we
6:55:26
need say okay, it's time.
6:55:32
Speaker 2: For your body.
6:55:34
Speaker 1: To let go completely and relax totally, your body just follows.
6:55:46
It's like a breath of relief. Ah good, I can
6:55:51
now relax. That feeling at the end of a day,
6:56:00
very physical day that you may experience in the past.
6:56:04
But you get home and you just sit down on
6:56:07
a chair, maybe you kick your shoes off, and our
6:56:11
ah feels so nice knowing that you don't have to
6:56:17
get up again for a little while at least if
6:56:22
you choose, you can just sit there for maybe an
6:56:24
hour to It feels blissful. And just by sitting down
6:56:38
like that, your body knows that it's time to relax.
6:56:44
Your body has been given permission from you. Because it's
6:56:50
a mindset. In your mind, you're prepared to let go
6:57:00
of everything and just completely allow all the stress of
6:57:11
your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just gradually.
6:57:22
Speaker 2: Vanish.
6:57:29
Speaker 1: It's almost like magic, really, because that sense of relaxation
6:57:41
in your body. It's a very natural state. It's not
6:57:47
something unusual. It may feel unusual when you first start
6:57:52
to relax, if you if you haven't really spent a
6:57:57
lot of time focusing and giving your self this space
6:58:01
to let go completely and relax, they seem are most alien,
6:58:08
but it isn't. It's actually the most natural.
6:58:14
Speaker 5: Thing in the world.
6:58:16
Speaker 1: To let go completely, to relax totally, the most natural
6:58:26
thing in the world to allow yourself.
6:58:36
Speaker 2: To feel.
6:58:38
Speaker 1: Really calm in your mind. And it is almost like
6:58:45
a literal unwinding. It's like you press a button and
6:58:54
all the tension just releases. It's like a wheel, like
6:59:01
a cog, like the inside of a clock, just unwinding.
6:59:06
And it's almost like you could see the little wind
6:59:10
up knob that's used just going the opposite way that
6:59:16
you choose to wind it up, and the energy that
6:59:22
frenetic stress for energy gradually winding down, losing its power,
6:59:33
losing its strength. As a sense of relaxation becomes stronger
6:59:42
and deeper, and you may find a the more relaxed
6:59:53
you feel, that your mind starts to wander, maybe seem
7:00:04
to stop listening to me for a while, and your
7:00:08
mind goes somewhere else, and then you realize you're listening
7:00:14
to me again, and that was just your mind drifting
7:00:20
to sleep, which is quite natural, because sometimes when we're.
7:00:32
Speaker 2: Stressed and tense, we're not I mean I.
7:00:36
Speaker 1: Actually be aware of what we need or we physically
7:00:41
or emotionally.
7:00:44
Speaker 2: Need in this moment.
7:00:49
Speaker 1: But when you allow your body and mind to relax
7:00:54
completely and you let go of all or concerns, worries, ideas,
7:01:05
all letting them go, allow them to drop onto the floor.
7:01:15
When you start to get in touch with the feelings
7:01:21
of such relaxation, this feels so nice, to be in
7:01:33
touch with the calmness of the different body parts as
7:01:40
they become looser and looser. Even your breathing seems easier
7:01:57
and more natural, less as that cool enters.
7:02:06
Speaker 2: Through your mouth or nose into your lungs, breathing in.
7:02:14
Speaker 1: Comforts and relaxation, and then just breathing out any excess
7:02:23
remain intention or stress.
7:02:28
Speaker 2: From every part of your body.
7:02:32
Speaker 1: And mind. And as you start to focus on your mind,
7:02:40
maybe you notice that things come to a standstill or
7:02:48
maybe just much much lower than before, because your mind
7:02:58
is not really needed when listening to my voice, which
7:03:08
allows your mind to relax just as deeply as your body,
7:03:18
and that's synchronicity between the relaxation of your body and
7:03:29
relaxation of your mind.
7:03:34
Speaker 2: Let you know that.
7:03:37
Speaker 1: Feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed.
7:03:46
Speaker 2: Really is a great healing experience fear.
7:03:57
Speaker 5: And has.
7:04:02
Speaker 1: So many positive benefits for your body, mind, and your life.
7:04:13
To be able to let go everything and to relax completely.
7:04:24
Speaker 2: In all parts of your body and mind.
7:04:31
Speaker 1: Even your bones has arised, or your muscles arise. Even
7:04:48
the skin that covers your body is relaxed. Every hair.
7:05:04
Speaker 2: That you have there is also.
7:05:09
Speaker 1: Deeply relaxed.
7:05:18
Speaker 2: And your brain.
7:05:22
Speaker 1: Really starts to feel the benefits.
7:05:28
Speaker 5: Of this.
7:05:30
Speaker 1: Healing relaxation. And as you focus on the inside of
7:05:42
your scalp where your brain is, you can start to
7:05:48
realize and notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply.
7:06:02
And then it's your brain continues to relax he sends
7:06:10
those messages to the rest of your body.
7:06:18
Speaker 2: And your mind to rely, reax e more deeply, relax
7:06:34
siny more.
7:06:39
Speaker 1: Completely, letting go of any remaining thoughts or consers allowed
7:06:56
them just to drop onto the floor because they're no
7:07:02
longer necessary in this moment. In this moment of deep.
7:07:12
Speaker 2: Relaxation and calmness, filling your brain.

7:12:51
Speaker 2: Everything.
7:12:56
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a body scan, but see on firstly
7:13:02
how you feel in your body. Not trying to change
7:13:08
how you feel, not trying to relax, not trying to
7:13:13
move away from any discomfort or stress or tension. Just accepting,
7:13:22
observing and accepting how you feel in the different parts
7:13:27
of your body, Just allowing yourself to be exactly as
7:13:34
you are, to notice, to get in touch with how
7:13:46
you actually feel in this moment.
7:13:52
Speaker 2: So I'm going to start off.
7:13:56
Speaker 1: By focusing on your hands. Just be aware of your hands.
7:14:10
I'd like you to move your hands around, just maybe
7:14:15
move your fingers.
7:14:16
Speaker 2: A little bit.
7:14:19
Speaker 1: I've been enclosing your hands very gently, just so that
7:14:26
you can get in touch with how your hands and
7:14:33
your fingers feel, very very slow movements. Focusing now on
7:14:55
your feet, you can just do kind of an equivalent
7:15:03
with your feet is you've just done with your hands,
7:15:09
Maybe turn in your ankles, moving your feet around, moving
7:15:18
your toes gently, but only very gently and very slowly,
7:15:31
noticing how your feet feel.
7:15:37
Speaker 2: In this moment.
7:15:45
Speaker 1: Focusing now and your eyes, I like you to just
7:15:53
focus on your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close
7:15:59
your eye is a couple.
7:16:00
Speaker 2: Of times to really get in touch with how.
7:16:05
Speaker 1: You feel when you do close your eyes. The muscle
7:16:11
changes in your eyes when you do close them, maybe
7:16:19
raising your eyebrows, it stretches the tops of your eyes,
7:16:29
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes just so
7:16:37
you can.
7:16:39
Speaker 2: Hear it.
7:16:39
Speaker 1: Get in touch with all aspects of how your eyes feel.
7:16:53
Speaker 2: Right now.
7:17:03
Speaker 1: Now focusing on your thighs and it it just starts
7:17:09
you to gently tense your thighs, just very very gently,
7:17:19
just enough so you can become more attuned to the
7:17:31
physical sensation of your upper legs, the front of your thighs,
7:17:40
in the backs of your thighs, noticing and observing how
7:17:54
your thighs feel.
7:17:57
Speaker 2: Right now, moving your focus.
7:18:08
Speaker 1: To the back of your neck, just noticing the back
7:18:15
of your neck the muscles, and of course they lead
7:18:21
to the side of your neck. They also lead to
7:18:26
the top of your back, which leads to your shoulders.
7:18:33
So as your focus on the back of your neck,
7:18:38
maybe you can move your head gently upwards as if
7:18:45
you're looking up, Maybe moving your head down as if
7:18:52
you were looking down. Perhaps moving your head side to side,
7:19:00
right to left bony very slowly and very gently I'm
7:19:14
not trying to force anything.
7:19:18
Speaker 2: It has to be very very gentle, just so you
7:19:27
can be more.
7:19:32
Speaker 1: In touch with the feelings, with the sensations of physical
7:19:43
sensations of how back of your neck feels.
7:19:52
Speaker 2: Right now, as we.
7:20:02
Speaker 1: Now focus on the tops of your arms, the parts
7:20:11
where your biceps and your triceps are between your elbow
7:20:16
and your shoulders. Should focus on those parts the tops
7:20:25
of your arms. You may like to just tense them,
7:20:32
but very very gently and slowly, so you know, straining
7:20:43
or put in any pressure whatsoever.
7:20:50
Speaker 2: On your arms.
7:20:54
Speaker 7: It's just so that you can.
7:20:59
Speaker 2: Gain all of a sense of how your upper arms.
7:21:08
Speaker 1: Are feeling in this moment, and just noticing as you gently,
7:21:22
very gently and slowly tighten the muscles and then let go,
7:21:35
notice how the tops of your arms feel. Right now,
7:21:52
there's a now focus on your stomach, the area the
7:22:03
lower abdomen area below your bellygotton moving all the way
7:22:10
down to your hips, just above your grind. Maybe you're
7:22:24
able to tense these muscles.
7:22:29
Speaker 2: In that area very very gently.
7:22:37
Speaker 1: And slowly, if that's a difficult thing to do, and
7:22:48
maybe you can just move your body, pushing your stomach up,
7:22:59
maybe moving little bit acide using.
7:23:02
Speaker 2: Your hips, just so you can get more.
7:23:10

7:23:57
Speaker 2: Your attention.
7:24:00
Speaker 1: To your mouth, notice in your lips and inside your mouth,
7:24:14
the teeth, your guns, your tongue, just noticing.
7:24:31
Speaker 2: How your tongue and your mouth feels.
7:24:37
Speaker 1: It.
7:24:37
Speaker 2: May help by.
7:24:40
Speaker 1: Moving your tongue around your mouth, moving it to your left,
7:24:49
maybe pressing it gently against the side of your mouth,
7:24:56
and then to the right, lead to the side of
7:25:02
your mouth, perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth,
7:25:11
and then down gently against the bottom of your mouth,
7:25:19
always very slowly.
7:25:26
Speaker 2: And a very very gentle so that you can.
7:25:40
Speaker 1: Be aware.
7:25:46
Speaker 2: Of how you feel in your mouth area now and
7:26:08
to focus.
7:26:11
Speaker 1: On your wrists. And I'm gonna ask you to maybe
7:26:26
just routine.
7:26:29
Speaker 2: Your wrists.
7:26:32
Speaker 1: By moving your hands in a circular motion very gently
7:26:42
and slowly, just.
7:26:48
Speaker 2: So that you can feel the sensations that.
7:27:04
Speaker 1: You are currently experiencing in.
7:27:13

7:27:30
Speaker 2: Very gently and slowly, very gentle.
7:27:52
Speaker 5: And slow.
7:28:07
Speaker 7: As we now.
7:28:10
Speaker 2: Start to observe your lower back.
7:28:23
Speaker 5: The bad part is.
7:28:26
Speaker 1: Just above your hips, where your coxix are a whole
7:28:43
area which also really does include the signs of your body.
7:28:52
Speaker 2: Because those muscles are very much connected.
7:29:00
Speaker 1: As those muscles also move into your hip area connecting
7:29:07
to your buttocks the side of your hips, And if
7:29:22
you're physically able to do so, maybe you can very
7:29:32
gently just move your body ever so slightly, very slowly,
7:29:47
some side to side, just enough.
7:29:59
Speaker 2: To gay sh how you feel in your lower back.
7:30:17
Perhaps it could even move your hips gently up and down,
7:30:31
gently and slowly.
7:30:37
Speaker 1: In order to.
7:30:42
Speaker 7: Be in touch.
7:30:46
Speaker 1: With the physical sensations.
7:30:51
Speaker 5: Of your lower back. As we now move.
7:31:15
Speaker 2: To your attention.
7:31:20
Speaker 8: To your jaw, an area for your chin all the
7:31:28
way up to near where your ears are.
7:31:35
Speaker 2: Oh, your jaw, you can just yeah, it's okay to
7:31:51
do sa.
7:31:53
Speaker 1: Gently open your mouth whide, no stretching, just very gently
7:32:05
and slowly opening your mouth thing, closing your mouth very
7:32:20
gently and slowly.
7:32:33
Speaker 2: So you can.
7:32:37
Speaker 5: Be in touch.
7:32:45
Speaker 2: With how your jaw feels.
7:32:50
Speaker 1: Now.
7:33:17
Speaker 2: And I to sit now the chest area.
7:33:32
Speaker 1: And you don't need to do anything to move your
7:33:37
chest because it moves every time you breathe, and it
7:33:49
moves very gently and slowly, automatically re each bread.
7:34:03
Speaker 2: You think as you focus on how your chest.
7:34:22
Speaker 1: Feels when you pray, both in your foot because to
7:35:02
your forearms your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently
7:35:20
and slowly tense the muscles in your forearms, and when
7:35:32
you do that, you can feel your elbows as well,
7:35:49
very gently and slowly, gently.
7:36:09
Speaker 2: And softly up sad.
7:36:20
Speaker 1: Your forearms and delpoys. No focus the rest of your back,
7:36:59
your upper back, back in the middle, the middle of
7:37:08
your back, and again this part of your body moves
7:37:29
also every time you breed. You may not notice that.
7:37:41
Usually these you observe.
7:37:51
Speaker 2: Your upper back in the middle of your back. You
7:37:58
can read feel.
7:38:02
Speaker 1: That gento and movim moving your focus.
7:38:57
Speaker 2: Into your.
7:38:59
Speaker 1: Area, the butties, the grain, those muscles, and those bones
7:39:14
in your midsection. Just noticing how you were hips.
7:39:51
Speaker 3: Feel.
7:39:55
Speaker 2: Right now.
7:40:03
Speaker 5: You can.
7:40:06
Speaker 1: Very very gently move your hips, maybe side to side,
7:40:21
very gently and say very gently, softly. Everything starts to
7:41:19
slow down, including the thoughts in your mind.
7:41:30
Speaker 2: And your mind.
7:41:31
Speaker 1: Itself just starts to gradually. It doesn't have to be instant,
7:41:41
but just gradually starting to It's almost like time is
7:41:50
storing chin it's a slower pace to maybe what you're
7:42:01
used to in your day to day life. It's a
7:42:09
slower movement of energy, very small movements which make up
7:42:37
the larger movements, which is always the case. Now, when
7:42:44
you move your hand, it might seem like it's one movement,
7:42:49
but it's lots of minute different muscles moving in accordance
7:42:57
with each other. What happens in this space that we're
7:43:09
sharing is we move from.
7:43:20
Speaker 2: That big.
7:43:27
Speaker 1: Movement into those smaller movements. Starting to focus on how
7:43:44
your body feels, not just as a whole, not just oh,
7:43:51
i'm feel in this way. I'm feeling stressed or tense,
7:43:56
or I'm feeling relaxed and calm. I'm feeling this way,
7:44:01
I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice that your body
7:44:12
begins to present to you small feelings around your body,
7:44:29
small physical sensations in your legs, whether pleasurable or not.
7:44:46
Maybe resisting the temptation to label them or to judge them,
7:44:57
those feelings.
7:45:00
Speaker 2: And just thinking them.
7:45:02
Speaker 1: Thinking about them is just being neutral, just feelings, not
7:45:15
being particularly concerned, but just noticing what your body is
7:45:26
telling you, the feelings in your arms, instead of feeling
7:45:40
the whole of the arm. Maybe notice those individual feelings,
7:45:50
all those different muscles and the skin, the hairs of
7:46:02
your arms, all the internal parts of your arms, the veins,
7:46:18
the bones, just being aware of maybe your elbow on
7:46:27
your right arm has a certain feeling. Maybe your left
7:46:35
wrist also has its own individual physical sensation.
7:47:00
Speaker 9: What about your forearm when you're right arm, you're right forearm,
7:47:14
there may not be any particular.
7:47:18
Speaker 1: Feeling that you could even give a name to, may
7:47:27
not feel like anything other than just a feeling.
7:47:32
Speaker 2: You know, it's there.
7:47:39
Speaker 1: The feelings in your shoulders, perhaps your shoulders when you
7:47:45
think about them, kind of almost like they're the same,
7:47:50
you know, the same feeling, almost like both of your
7:47:56
shoulders are just one thing. Of course they're not. And
7:48:09
when you focus on your left shoulder and then on
7:48:15
your right shoulder, maybe find that you move the muscles
7:48:22
a little bit, maybe tense the muscles gently, noticing the
7:48:34
difference in each shoulder and your lower back, the left
7:49:04
side of your lower back and the right side of
7:49:08
your lower back, of course that connection to your buttocks
7:49:21
and to your hips, and also moving up into the
7:49:33
middle of your back. And sometimes like right now, actually
7:49:47
when I focus on their part when I focused on
7:49:50
my buttocks and then I focused on the middle of
7:49:56
my back, I almost felt like the muscles in my
7:49:59
lower back were being stretched very gently, just stretched a
7:50:09
little bit. Even though I wasn't doing anything to try
7:50:18
to stretch your lower back, it just seemed to happen.
7:50:24
The feeling of very gently stretching your lower back comes
7:50:41
along feeling in your chest. Just noticing what sensations you
7:51:11
are experiencing in your chest right now. And there's so
7:51:28
much of the chest. Obviously, there's the collar bone leading
7:51:33
to the chest. You've got the chest bone, You've got
7:51:39
the muscles.
7:51:43
Speaker 2: In your chest.
7:51:46
Speaker 1: Of course, if you're female, there's possibly the breasts. Your male.
7:51:55
Speaker 2: You've got the different well why not that different these days,
7:52:01
but there may be more.
7:52:07
Speaker 1: Muscles at the top of the chest, but at the
7:52:13
side underneath it's pretty much the same.
7:52:17
Speaker 2: Whether you're a man or a woman.
7:52:20
Speaker 1: There's muscles there, muscles that stretch out to your back
7:52:27
as well as breast tissue. It stretches and moves into
7:52:30
your back. To just being aware of your chest, being
7:52:54
with whatever feeling there is in your chest. When I
7:53:14
noticed that I focus on my chest, I feel it
7:53:22
in my back and my upper back. I mean, I
7:53:26
guess the obvious reason would be because you know, I'll
7:53:29
breathe in.
7:53:35
Speaker 2: In then it stretches my chest and my back at
7:53:41
the same time.
7:53:49
Speaker 1: It feels.
7:53:53
Speaker 2: It feels okay, doesn't feel.
7:54:04
Speaker 1: I got a little bit of pain in my right chest,
7:54:11
A little bit, not pain, but little discomfort. Maybe stiffness possibly,
7:54:18
I don't know.
7:54:22
Speaker 2: I notice my shoulders are also wanting to flex for
7:54:30
some reason.
7:54:32
Speaker 1: I think that's probably part of my upper back, that
7:54:40
connection between my shoulders and my opper back, because I
7:54:45
can move my shoulders and stretch the muscles in my back,
7:54:53
moving the shoulders backwards or up, which then moves I
7:54:59
think it's the scapulous.
7:55:03
Speaker 2: In your back. It feels quite nice. Actually, A good
7:55:21
thing about this is you can, if you want to,
7:55:25
you can just.
7:55:30
Speaker 1: Flex or stimulate the various muscles in your body gently
7:55:43
in order to get more of a sense of how
7:55:47
they feel. And when you're relaxing and you do tense
7:56:02
and muscle and you let it go and you let
7:56:06
it relax, it relaxes.
7:56:11
Speaker 2: Way more than it would normally. That you have to
7:56:21
feel that you're able to do that.
7:56:27
Speaker 1: There's no point doing it if there's an issue with
7:56:33
the per part of your body. You need to be
7:56:39
gentle with yourself at all times when relaxing deeply, It's
7:56:52
important to be kind to yourself. As you notice your mind,
7:57:12
how much has your mind slowed down since we started
7:57:20
this recording?
7:57:37
Speaker 2: How come.
7:57:42
Speaker 1: And peaceful is your mind right now? We have nothing
7:57:53
to think about and just my voice to listen to,
7:58:03
because you know, the intention behind this recording is relaxation.
7:58:14
At the very least, for you to feel more relaxed
7:58:21
at the end of recording than you did at the beginning.
7:58:29
At the very least, your mind to slow down.
7:58:41
Speaker 2: As your body continues to relax, because that's what you.
7:58:55
Speaker 1: Want to happen. That's what you expect to happen, for
7:59:15
relaxation to fill your body, maybe calm in your mind
7:59:35
to the point of boredom. When you start maybe to.
7:59:48
Speaker 2: Drift away.
8:00:09
Speaker 1: Dresting, it's almost as.
8:00:25
Speaker 2: If you're moving further away from a body in your mind,
8:00:37
just leaving that there.
8:00:46
Speaker 1: Kind of liking it. An escape pod in a spaceship
8:00:51
a movie, a space movie.
8:00:54
Speaker 2: You know when they get into that little part in
8:00:56
it sends the man.
8:01:00
Speaker 1: Far away from the spaceship safe to dream and continue
8:01:29
to relax, drifting.
8:02:09
Speaker 2: So slow.
8:02:24
Speaker 1: Empe so.
8:02:41
Speaker 2: So ra em peace.
8:03:17
Speaker 1: And focusing on the feeding of those individual parts of
8:03:31
your body. That's a relaxing.
8:03:39
Speaker 2: One by one, you may find that every now and
8:03:56
then you really eyes that.
8:04:03
Speaker 1: You aren't listening to my voice because your mind started
8:04:12
to imagine something different, maybe started to almost move into
8:04:28
some kind of a dreamy state, and then you become
8:04:36
aware of my voice again. And even though you may
8:04:46
want to focus on my voice, you may also wish
8:04:51
to allow your mind to just drift naturally into that
8:05:05
space of comfort and safety.
8:05:16
Speaker 2: As you feel more comfort spreading through your body.
8:05:34
Speaker 1: Like a warm blanket covering you gently, keeping your body
8:05:48
at just the perfect temperature. And even if you can
8:06:07
hear background sounds, they just don't seem to matter anymore.
8:06:25
There's that sensor.
8:06:30
Speaker 2: Peace spreads through your mind.
8:06:42
Speaker 1: Like a gentle breeze, Yes, strong enough to blow away
8:06:52
all negativity, strong.
8:06:59
Speaker 7: Enough to.
8:07:02
Speaker 1: Remove from your mind any anxiety or stress that was
8:07:13
there before, and blow away any other thoughts or feelings
8:07:28
that just don't fit with the sense relaxation that is
8:07:54
feeling your body and your mind. Unless you focus on
8:08:19
your mind and count down from ten down to one,
8:08:27
and with each number you hear.
8:08:33
Speaker 2: Your mind will become slightly more.
8:08:53
Speaker 1: Relaxed, just just slightly, from ten down to nine, just
8:09:05
a slight movement.
8:09:09
Speaker 2: From nine down to eight, just another small change in
8:09:21
how you feel.
8:09:28
Speaker 1: Eight down to seven, That feeling is a gap, almost
8:09:36
like a gap that starts to get wider, the gap
8:09:42
between those feelings that you used to have in your
8:09:50
mind compared to the feelings you have. They're growing now,
8:10:00
feelings of comfort and security and confidence, and the gap
8:10:10
becomes wider. Eight down to seven, seven down to six.
8:10:20
When you get to five, your mind will start to
8:10:27
have a certain physical sensation, most like there's a magnet
8:10:40
outside of your head sucking.
8:10:44
Speaker 2: The tension and the stress and any remaining feelings that
8:10:50
you don't want, sucking them out through your skull.
8:11:01
Speaker 5: And in down to four.
8:11:04
Speaker 1: You can start to really experience that sense of not
8:11:11
just emptiness, but space, a place full of fresh air,
8:11:27
place where you can stretch. It's almost as if as
8:11:34
you go down to four and three your mind is
8:11:38
expanding with this sense.
8:11:44
Speaker 2: Of peace.
8:11:47
Speaker 1: And tranquility growing.
8:11:52
Speaker 2: So move down to when you get to one, your mind.
8:12:04
Speaker 1: Just feels exactly how you want to feel almost perfect feeling,
8:12:23
maybe a sensation that.
8:12:29
Speaker 2: You'd like to keep.
8:12:33
Speaker 1: A place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,
8:12:56
and you can stay in that that space of comfort
8:13:01
and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this
8:13:11
space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind.
8:13:19
Speaker 2: Just by counting ten down to one.
8:13:28
Speaker 1: And this is something that you can do yourself when
8:13:33
you're on your own, the time when you can maybe
8:13:40
sit down, maybe just for a few minutes, close your eyes,
8:13:53
just count slowly from ten down to one and re
8:14:05
experience these feelings in your mind. And when you feel
8:14:18
that way in your mind.
8:14:21
Speaker 2: Your body copies your mind, and that feeling is spread through.
8:14:36
Speaker 1: Your spine and your nervous system into every part of
8:14:43
your body, travels through your bloodstream, heathing and relaxing every
8:14:59
part article of your existence. Now we can we can
8:15:16
practice this a few times before the end of the recording,
8:15:25
and then you can practice.
8:15:28
Speaker 7: On your own.
8:15:31
Speaker 2: And each time you count for ten about one.
8:15:40
Speaker 1: The feelings of comfort, calmness, deep deep relaxation becomes stronger.
8:15:55
Speaker 2: Deeper feeling your mind and your brain.
8:16:08
Speaker 1: With these positive chemicals, the spread throughout your body relaxing
8:16:17
you so quickly, relaxing your whole body and mind.
8:16:28
Speaker 2: So very very easily, just by counting ten down to one.
8:16:47
Speaker 7: So we're going to do it now.
8:16:49
Speaker 1: I'm going to count from ten down to one. I'd
8:16:53
like you to repeat the number after me. So when
8:16:57
I say ten, you can just repeat to yourself.
8:17:06
Speaker 2: Ten.
8:17:12
Speaker 1: Just notice, be aware of how you feel.
8:17:21
Speaker 2: In your mind and your body. Then when I say nine,
8:17:31
you can.
8:17:31
Speaker 1: Repeat to yourself nine a gain, noticing the increase in
8:17:47
comfort and calmness in your mind and in your body.
8:18:01
The same when I say eight, when I say seven, six,
8:18:13
when I say five, four, when I say three, two,
8:18:31
and lastly you want to say one, you can repeat
8:18:37
that number now. Of course, when you do this on
8:18:49
your own without listening to me, you can say the
8:18:55
numbers or whatever speed that you feel it's necessary for you,
8:19:06
so you can adapt. So if you feel you want
8:19:11
to say the numbers ten down to one faster than
8:19:18
I do, then you go ahead and do that. Or
8:19:22
if you feel when you do it yourself, then you'd
8:19:26
like to have more more space between the numbers, maybe
8:19:35
take a lot longer to get from ten.
8:19:41
Speaker 2: All the way down to one. That's your choice. Also
8:19:49
to do. I'm gonna count from ten down to one.
8:20:08
I'm gonna get to one. That will be the end
8:20:12
of this recording. And let's of course you're listening to music,
8:20:19
and the music will continue ten nine five fo.
8:25:00
Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen.
8:25:40
Speaker 2: Twelve eleven, ten nine eight, seven, six, five, four, three
8:26:31
two one.
8:26:46
Speaker 1: Now open your eyes, noticing how you physically feel having
8:26:56
counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress and tension
8:27:05
to leave through your fingertips and your toes. And as
8:27:09
you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel a little
8:27:14
bit tingly, which is I suppose quite understanding, considering attention
8:27:22
has been exiting your body through your fingertips.
8:27:32
Speaker 2: So now I'm going to count from twenty down to
8:27:34
one again. This time.
8:27:40
Speaker 1: You're to feel relief of tension and stress in the
8:27:46
anxiety that you may have leaving through your stomach, just
8:27:59
leaving through your stomach, almost as if it's just releasing
8:28:05
the hole of your stomach. You'll naval.
8:28:09
Speaker 2: To just above your chest or below your chest, rather
8:28:13
so surrounding your belly by an area the whole area.
8:28:19
Speaker 1: You can feel the tension of your body wherever it's left,
8:28:23
just releasing from the area, and you may notice that
8:28:29
your stomach will become.
8:28:30
Speaker 7: Very relaxed.
8:28:33
Speaker 2: As I count down from twenty down to one now twenty.
8:28:47
Speaker 1: Nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.
8:29:59
Speaker 2: Four, three.
8:30:08
Speaker 7: Two what.
8:30:19
Speaker 2: And you can open your eyes again if you choose,
8:30:21
or you can just.
8:30:22
Speaker 1: Keep them closed because it feels relaxing. Just notice how
8:30:28
your stomach feels. Notice as your focus, just do a
8:30:34
little scan of your body. Just notice how your body feels,
8:30:41
focusing on up a body, back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,
8:30:54
just noticing, and you know, you may start to feel
8:31:04
more of a sense of tiredness, which may be the
8:31:07
reason you're listening to this according because you.
8:31:14
Speaker 4: Like to.
8:31:15
Speaker 2: Let go completely of everything and dread.
8:31:23
Speaker 1: Off into a nice, natural, calm.
8:31:28
Speaker 2: Relaxing sleep. So now we're going to focus.
8:31:42
Speaker 1: On your forehead, and if you choose, you can incorporate
8:31:49
your eyes in this focus as well. Your forehead and
8:31:54
your eyes.
8:31:57
Speaker 2: It's that whole area basically, or just as if you
8:32:01
were wearing a mask, you know, like a I don't know,
8:32:05
a batman mask or something or I'm trying to fa
8:32:11
zorrow or something.
8:32:12
Speaker 1: You know, the kind of mask that covers your eyes
8:32:15
but also covers quite a lot of the forehead, focusing
8:32:21
on that area, because that's the area that we're now
8:32:24
going to release tension and stress from your mind and
8:32:30
your brain, from your mind, and any tension that you
8:32:34
may have remaining in your face, in your neck and
8:32:39
your jaw, and your eyes, your forehead or your scalp.
8:32:46
So basically any tension within your head area, including your
8:32:51
mind and your brain, and that's going to be released
8:33:00
through your fuehead in your eyes. As a countdown again.
8:33:07
Speaker 2: From twenty down to one now twenty.
8:33:19
Speaker 1: Nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven.
8:34:28
Speaker 2: Six, five, four three one.
8:35:01
Speaker 1: Noticing as you scan your face with jaw, your eyes,
8:35:10
the cheap bones, your ears, your forehead, your scalp.
8:35:19
Speaker 2: Your neck, the back of your neck, in the front
8:35:22
of your neck, the side of your neck, and your throat.
8:35:29
Speaker 7: Mm hmmm.
8:35:33
Speaker 1: Noticing being aware of the comfort increased be in the
8:35:43
relaxation not just in your head and neck and mind,
8:35:50
also the rest of your body. Just notice how loose
8:36:01
and calm you feel, and how easily it is to
8:36:07
just let go completely, Let go completely, how easily.
8:36:34
Speaker 7: That's what I'm going to do now, is.
8:36:37
Speaker 2: To focus on the top of your head, and we're
8:36:45
going to allow every last.
8:36:51
Speaker 1: Piece of tension or stress the mind, be angry or
8:36:57
hiding in your body, my mind or.
8:37:01
Speaker 7: Head to just.
8:37:05
Speaker 2: Be sucked out the top of your head, released.
8:37:15
Speaker 7: Into Yeah, I want sack down into the clouds.
8:37:22
Speaker 2: Imagine a be cloud above your head, almost like a whirlpool,
8:37:29
and can suck that tension.
8:37:33
Speaker 7: Out the top of your head and just take it away.
8:37:40
Speaker 4: The good.
8:37:43
Speaker 2: To focus. Imagine an opening on the top of your
8:37:47
head with that tension and stress and in remaining issues
8:37:54
may be worries of concerns that have no use to you.
8:37:58
Speaker 1: Now all be sucked down at the top of your head.
8:38:04
I've taken away. As I count down again from twenty
8:38:10
down to one.
8:38:15
Speaker 2: Now twenty.
8:38:24
Speaker 1: Nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.
8:39:59
Speaker 2: Four three, wah.
8:40:24
Speaker 5: Break.
8:40:29
Speaker 1: I'm noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm you
8:40:42
physically and mentally fail right now, help peace so.
8:40:56
Speaker 2: Your mind feels.
8:41:00
Speaker 1: It feels so nice to just let go, to give
8:41:06
yourself some space to breathe easily, to think.
8:41:14
Speaker 2: Calmly, and just to take a break from.
8:41:23
Speaker 1: All that pointless worry and concerns about things that you
8:41:29
don't need to think about.
8:41:34
Speaker 2: Right now, because this is your time to let go.
8:41:42
This is your space to enjoy.
8:41:47
Speaker 1: Feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful in your mind, relaxed in your body.
8:41:59
Speaker 2: They can feel oh so good.
8:42:04
Speaker 1: So nice to just not have to do anything, to
8:42:12
be able to really enjoy that serenity that comes letting
8:42:23
go completely, that peacefulness that comes with.
8:42:36
Speaker 2: Being in this peaceful space. And you can keep this
8:42:47
sense of calmness for as long.
8:42:51
Speaker 7: As you choose.
8:43:00
Speaker 1: If you choose to drift off into a deep, healing,
8:43:06
natural sleep, then you can do that. It's completely up
8:43:15
to you, and you can keep this feeling of calmness physically,
8:43:24
mean in your mind, as long as you choose to
8:43:30
feel completely relaxed, completely relaxed. I'd like you to make
8:43:46
up your mind that you're going to relax, and I
8:44:00
want to explore that with you. What it feels like
8:44:03
when you actually decide that you're going to relax, not
8:44:12
forcing yourself but giving yourself that.
8:44:18
Speaker 2: Yes, it is a command, really, isn't it When you're
8:44:20
telling yourself relax in a gentle but firm way, that
8:44:30
only you can really tell yourself in that way. You
8:44:35
can't really have someone else saying to you, now it relax, relax.
8:44:40
Speaker 4: You know.
8:44:43
Speaker 1: It needs to be gentle, but you can't. Someone else
8:44:45
can't really have the same the same kind of influence
8:44:54
or power that you have over your own physicality, over
8:45:03
how you feel, because when you say it to yourself,
8:45:13
it means more. It's personal, and your brain and your
8:45:21
unconscious mind.
8:45:22
Speaker 2: And your body listens to what you say.
8:45:28
Speaker 1: So for example, we'll test it out and do a
8:45:31
little test, a few little tests along the way, and
8:45:35
you can get more of an.
8:45:36
Speaker 2: Idea of the force, a positive force that you can
8:45:43
have in.
8:45:46
Speaker 1: Creating a sense of comfort and relaxation in your body
8:45:52
and your mind quite quickly.
8:45:56
Speaker 2: Just by you telling yourself.
8:46:01
Speaker 1: To relax.
8:46:06
Speaker 2: So I want to start by it's focus on your hands.
8:46:13
Focus on your hands, and just tell your hands to relax,
8:46:17
and just say relax.
8:46:21
Speaker 1: As you focus on your hands, you could say my
8:46:27
hands are relaxed, or I want my hands to relax.
8:46:32
Speaker 2: But I think if you actually do it directly.
8:46:37
Speaker 1: By focusing and imagining that your hands can hear what
8:46:42
you're saying.
8:46:43
Speaker 2: You know, they've got little ears.
8:46:45
Speaker 7: You see a little weird.
8:46:49
Speaker 2: So talking to your hands and just say relax.
8:46:59
Speaker 7: You know, just.
8:47:06
Speaker 1: How your hands start to relax. Now, focus on your
8:47:21
eyes and tell your eyes to relax. You're just saying
8:47:25
the same word, relax. And find the right tone for you.
8:47:35
You know, I might say relax, but you you might
8:47:39
say relax or relax. You know, you might say it
8:47:47
differently to yourself, and that's important for you to gauge
8:47:55
what feels right for you. To just tell your eyes
8:48:01
to relax, whilst focusing on your eyes, your eyelids.
8:48:05
Speaker 2: The muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and just tell your.
8:48:11
Speaker 1: Eyes directly.
8:48:15
Speaker 2: Relax.
8:48:18
Speaker 4: Now.
8:48:45
Speaker 1: Now, I just did that myself. And sometimes you may
8:48:55
feel that you need a bit more time or different
8:49:00
parts to relax, you know, because I start talking again
8:49:04
and maybe that part hasn't relaxed fully. But what happened
8:49:09
is that it would just continue to relax.
8:49:11
Speaker 7: Even though I'm talking, And that's happening.
8:49:15
Speaker 2: With my eyes. Something else I noticed is.
8:49:22
Speaker 1: When I started focused on my eyes, that actually almost
8:49:26
became they.
8:49:26
Speaker 2: Got worse before they got better in a way.
8:49:29
Speaker 1: So I felt a degree of tension growing in my
8:49:32
eyes and then disappearing. So I think what that was
8:49:38
really is just me becoming more aware of the tension
8:49:45
that was already there that I was. I wasn't focused
8:49:49
on it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging it or
8:49:56
really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes is still
8:50:11
continuing to relax, as well as my hands. Actually, my
8:50:18
hands have got a certain kind of energy, like you're
8:50:23
not buzzing, but I can kind of feel a degree
8:50:29
of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where the tension
8:50:35
is being released. Maybe that's the cause, and that.
8:50:46
Speaker 2: The next part I think we should focus.
8:50:48
Speaker 7: On the back of the neck. That's a part which quite.
8:50:51
Speaker 1: Often, or for me, holds tension. I don't know about
8:50:56
for yourself, but I think it's quite a and a
8:51:00
place where a tension is sometimes held.
8:51:04
Speaker 2: So, and I'm doing exactly what you're doing as you
8:51:09
do it as well, so I'm telling my body parts.
8:51:13
Speaker 7: To relax as well. So if you tell your neck at.
8:51:16
Speaker 2: The back of your neck, focus on the back of
8:51:19
your neck and just say.
8:51:23
Speaker 1: Relax in your own words in your own tone, in
8:51:27
your own voice. You can say out loud, or you
8:51:30
can just say it to yourself internally. But you're focusing
8:51:36
and you're saying it literally.
8:51:38
Speaker 7: To the back of your neck, as if the back
8:51:41
of your neck can actually hear what you're saying. So
8:51:48
do that now, Just say relax to the back of
8:51:51
your neck, and I'll do the same.
8:52:33
Speaker 1: Now, what I noticed, and you may have had similar
8:52:36
thing is, even though I was focusing on the back
8:52:41
of the neck, other parts started to I don't know,
8:52:52
showed themselves to me or maybe because.
8:52:55
Speaker 2: They want to be relaxed as well. But I started.
8:52:58
Speaker 1: Noticing the feelings in my shoulders, attention in my shoulders
8:53:02
and in my upper back. Whether that was because my
8:53:10
back and my neck was saying, well, I'm pretty much okay.
8:53:15
Speaker 7: It's the other parts that need.
8:53:17
Speaker 1: Attention, but my lobe, my back of my neck is
8:53:26
still relaxing. But I just became more aware of other
8:53:30
parts that needed attention. Now, this might happen, and it's not.
8:53:40
It doesn't mean that it's going any wrong. It just
8:53:42
means you're being notified of more places but also want
8:53:49
to feel relaxed.
8:53:53
Speaker 2: So I'm going to focus on my upper back.
8:53:58
Speaker 7: So you can do the same even if you don't
8:54:01
have any.
8:54:03
Speaker 1: Feelings of tension that robvious in your upper back, if
8:54:09
you just focus on your back and.
8:54:13
Speaker 2: The whole area from the shoulder blades down to the
8:54:18
middle of your back and your spine. And with me,
8:54:22
it's more the shoulder blades are more.
8:54:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the parts that really.
8:54:33
Speaker 2: Sort of giving me.
8:54:36
Speaker 7: The nod.
8:54:39
Speaker 2: That it needs relax in the sounds.
8:54:40
Speaker 7: That asks that part to relax, And you can do
8:54:44
the same.
8:54:44
Speaker 2: Now, relapse in upper back. There's something strange happened there.
8:55:12
And this often happens.
8:55:14
Speaker 4: I've been doing this for.
8:55:18
Speaker 1: Sixteen years or something, and often I'm one surprised but amazed.
8:55:26
Really bad, there can be a feeling. So when I
8:55:32
was focusing on the back of my neck, my upper
8:55:36
back was starting to feel quite stressed and in need
8:55:41
of attention. As soon as I started talking to you
8:55:46
about my upper back and talking about getting ready to
8:55:52
ask the upper back to relax, why the back already
8:55:57
started to relax. It's almost as if it doesn't need
8:56:03
to hear the words, just needs attention, just needs to
8:56:13
be noticed. And that is something that often happens in
8:56:27
This type of situation is when you start to relax
8:56:35
a couple of parts of your body, as we've done
8:56:38
with our hands, their eyes and the eyelids, and.
8:56:44
Speaker 7: Now back of the neck, top of the bag of
8:56:53
the back.
8:56:55
Speaker 1: The rest of the body seems to just take notice
8:57:02
and decide in its own way to start relaxing.
8:57:10
Speaker 2: Other parts of your body start to just become looser.
8:57:20
I suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche.
8:57:23
You know, the little ball starts rolling, and before you
8:57:28
know it, the whole of your body is completely relaxed
8:57:31
and can't.
8:57:40
Speaker 7: And if you.
8:57:41
Speaker 1: Focus on your face, you focus on your eyes, the eyelids,
8:57:53
your eyebrows, and the muscles around.
8:57:57
Speaker 2: Your eyes, maybe you start to notice.
8:58:04
Speaker 1: That your forehead is more relaxed than it was. Maybe
8:58:11
your face is more relaxed. I would say, my entire
8:58:16
face is a lot more relaxed than it was. So
8:58:31
we're going to focus now on your shoulders. It came
8:58:37
just like before, just to your shoulders.
8:58:42
Speaker 2: You can't do them in the ditchit. You can do
8:58:44
the right shoulder and the shoulder.
8:58:47
Speaker 7: I just didn't do both at the same time.
8:58:51
Speaker 1: Just tell your shoulders as you focus on them in
8:58:55
your mind, focus on how if you feel.
8:58:59
Speaker 2: Maybe you can see them in your mind's eye. Just
8:59:07
tell your shoulders to relax. It's as nice as they relax.
9:00:02
Speaker 1: But I do notice, I mean, especially with my back,
9:00:10
is the connection between the different parts the back, the shoulders,
9:00:16
the neck being all connected and being such a large
9:00:26
part of your body, it's almost hard to.
9:00:31
Speaker 2: Separate them from each other. And my lower back has
9:00:40
started to.
9:00:40
Speaker 1: Relax on the same Maybe I'm going too slow and
9:00:52
that could be an issue because we will go a
9:00:55
different speeds. And the idea of the beginning of this
9:01:02
recording was for you to be able to just say
9:01:04
to yourself, relax without focusing on any particular part of
9:01:21
your body.
9:01:24
Speaker 2: Because when you know that telling your hands to relax
9:01:34
and your hands relax, you tell.
9:01:38
Speaker 1: Your eyelids and your eyes, the muscles around your eyes
9:01:47
and your eyebrows to relax.
9:01:53
Speaker 2: And they relax. Until if I keep your neck to
9:02:06
relax and relaxes, until your alpha back to relax and
9:02:39
did relaxes. He'd tell your shoulders.
9:02:51
Speaker 1: To relax, and they relaxed, and you told your hands
9:03:28
to relax, they relaxed.
9:03:31
Speaker 7: And they continued to relax.
9:03:40
Speaker 1: And you told your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,
9:03:47
your eyebrows, to relax.
9:03:51
Speaker 2: They relaxed.
9:03:55
Speaker 7: And continued.
9:03:58
Speaker 4: Re h.
9:04:05
Speaker 7: And you told at the back of your neck, on
9:04:09
the back of your neck, and.
9:04:14
Speaker 2: Told it to relax and relaxed and continued to relax.
9:04:33
And you told your alpa back to relax and relaxed
9:04:43
and continued to relax.
9:04:55
Speaker 1: That's with your shoulders. I told you shoulders to relax.
9:05:01
Speaker 7: In your.
9:05:05
Speaker 2: Shoulders relaxed and continue to relax.
9:05:19
Speaker 7: And it's not just that, it's.
9:05:27
Speaker 1: With the rest of your body has also been listening,
9:05:33
and the relaxation has been spreading. So from your eyes,
9:05:39
the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face.
9:05:47
Speaker 7: Into your skin, into your jaw.
9:05:59
Speaker 2: Into the front of the side of your neck, all
9:06:03
the way down your chest.
9:06:05
Speaker 7: And stomach.
9:06:13
Speaker 2: Relaxed hands and shoulders.
9:06:17
Speaker 7: Met up through your arms, relaxing and full arms, your upper.
9:06:26
Speaker 1: Arms, elbows, your wrists, letting go with lower bag, your
9:06:45
hips but exploiting, and you just start to relax on
9:06:51
the tiny even.
9:06:53
Speaker 2: The comfort.
9:06:57
Speaker 7: Spreading through your legs all the way down to your ankles.
9:07:12
Speaker 2: The tops of your feet, the side of your feet,
9:07:18
and the bottoms.
9:07:19
Speaker 7: Of your feet relaxing into your.
9:07:28
Speaker 1: Toes in your tone relaxing, please. And if your body
9:07:56
relaxes more, your mind becomes slow or peaceful, to the point.
9:08:21
Speaker 7: Where if he choose to fall asleep, he can easily.
9:08:36
Speaker 4: Do that.
9:08:42
Speaker 2: Easy drift doing.
9:08:50
Speaker 7: Because there's nothing going on in your mind.
9:08:56
Speaker 2: The phrase peaceful your body your teens.
9:09:13
Speaker 7: To rise with that connection between.
9:09:40
Speaker 2: Your body relaxing. The word you say to yourself.
9:09:49
Speaker 7: Lights means that you don't need to focus on just
9:10:00
one part. You can just focus on your entire body.
9:10:14
Speaker 2: Saying the powerful word wakes.
9:10:31
Speaker 7: It's use.
9:10:36
Speaker 1: Familiar sensations of comfort spreading throughout your body.
9:10:52
Speaker 7: Who say you're calming, and the meaning every harm to
9:11:03
your bloody.
9:11:06
Speaker 2: Deathing.
9:11:12
Speaker 7: Last, all you need to do from now on is
9:11:31
just telling yourself.
9:11:38
Speaker 1: Lie feeding deeply, now fool, Starting now with number twenty
9:12:21
nineteen eighteen seventeen sixteen, feel.
9:15:00
Speaker 10: Attatatatatatatatatatatatata attatatatatatatatatatatatatat t sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
9:26:02
Speaker 2: One So counting down from ten to one ten nine, eight, seven, six,
9:26:33
five four three two one. And maybe that was a
9:26:53
bit too quick in order to relax.
9:26:57
Speaker 7: Maybe it's a bit.
9:26:57
Speaker 1: Too fast for you to notice the calming of your body,
9:27:07
maybe even and it'll get a pressure there, like you'll
9:27:12
count it.
9:27:12
Speaker 7: Down from ten to one.
9:27:14
Speaker 2: What do you expect me to do?
9:27:15
Speaker 4: Man?
9:27:16
Speaker 2: Expect me to stick all with flopy? Just because you're
9:27:20
counted down. You try it again, but this time I'll
9:27:30
go this lower.
9:27:33
Speaker 1: This time, and you focus on the whold of your
9:27:38
body before we focus on your legs.
9:27:44
Speaker 2: Just notice how your body does start to feel more
9:27:53
relaxed every number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.
9:28:53
Speaker 1: Four three, I just notice how, hey, you fool generally,
9:29:52
anybody feels.
9:30:00
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily even about.
9:30:06
Speaker 7: Counting down from ten to one.
9:30:11
Speaker 2: It's that space that you have, that space between.
9:30:24
Speaker 1: Being active physically or mentally, just sitting or lying down,
9:30:41
just being there.
9:30:42
Speaker 2: Not doing anything, not saying anything, not deeding to think
9:30:48
about anything.
9:30:50
Speaker 1: So it opens up a space, you know, a bit
9:30:54
of a space, the gap. And the more I count
9:31:05
down for a tens of works, the bigger that gap becomes.
9:31:13
Speaker 2: So there's that gap of calmness of comfort and relaxation.
9:31:25
It's a nice feeling, and it moves.
9:31:34
Speaker 1: Those stresses or discomforts physically or.
9:31:40
Speaker 2: Emotionally, moves them away.
9:31:51
Speaker 1: Allows you.
9:31:54
Speaker 4: To just.
9:31:58
Speaker 2: Slow down.
9:32:02
Speaker 7: Someone to count a game from ten down to one, and.
9:32:05
Speaker 2: Notice that gap widening, the gap.
9:32:14
Speaker 1: And as it widens, it's almost like that the stress
9:32:19
and tension falls.
9:32:21
Speaker 7: Into the gap. It gives you that distance, that space.
9:32:42
Now ten.
9:32:51
Speaker 2: Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.
9:34:01
Speaker 4: Three one. How did you what did you do?
9:35:07
Speaker 2: Can you notice?
9:35:08
Speaker 7: Say?
9:35:09
Speaker 2: Do you feeling calm? Are you feeling more relaxed?
9:35:46
Speaker 4: Now?
9:35:47
Speaker 1: Fice a relicks just relis I'm just gonna start with
9:36:08
focusing on your thighs. Of course, it's not the most
9:36:29
exciting thing to be doing because I'm sure like most
9:36:36
of your body is not.
9:36:37
Speaker 4: I'm not going on the way now.
9:36:48
Speaker 1: Just focusing on the whole of your thighs, the tops
9:36:54
of your fies decides to devise.
9:37:00
Speaker 7: The bottoms of your thiers, the outer thighs and inner thighs,
9:37:07
basically the hole of thire that leads into your head
9:37:15
and it goes down to your kne joints. Now, this
9:37:26
is a big.
9:37:27
Speaker 1: Area in the area based strong probably the strongest muscles
9:37:39
in your body and in addies.
9:37:51
Speaker 10: But I don't think we.
9:37:54
Speaker 7: Perhaps give enough attention to I.
9:38:06
Speaker 1: Perhaps some things the knowledge how important addis are.
9:38:17
Speaker 7: Two alliance, how much they actually do to us or
9:38:38
to alliance, and they.
9:38:46
Speaker 4: May seem was that really weird?
9:38:51
Speaker 7: I think the mom that body class, especially advice needs
9:38:59
some teals.
9:39:00
Speaker 4: See I love to show I do not thank you.
9:39:19
Speaker 7: Greatitude, but what advice do for us? I don't know.
9:39:32
This may sound is strange.
9:39:37
Speaker 10: Why do you think?
9:39:38
Speaker 4: Why am I sure I should be in the garden
9:39:42
in a tree or something. It's hard to.
9:39:49
Speaker 7: Set my people up on a tree.
9:39:52
Speaker 4: That's what I do. Some thoughts I would be outside
9:39:55
of a tree and passively turned me in control. You
9:40:06
move down to your means.
9:40:09
Speaker 7: Getting such an important part. And I don't think we
9:40:16
don't necessarily I want to speak to myself here. I
9:40:23
don't necessarily appreciate.
9:40:26
Speaker 4: All that my needs do me until I have a
9:40:32
problem with my need.
9:40:34
Speaker 7: Occasionally, however, I make a bachelorate.
9:40:39
Speaker 4: It's making for some reason. Then I realize that I
9:40:46
want to do I put in order to use my
9:40:52
legs with bout a kind of physical discontent. It's the people.
9:41:03
Speaker 7: That's possibly appreciating.
9:41:06
Speaker 4: To that's don't you think?
9:41:17
Speaker 1: So?
9:41:20
Speaker 4: You can't get lest feel the best.
9:41:28
Speaker 7: The latitude.
9:41:32
Speaker 2: Think you can still have their.
9:41:45
Speaker 4: Attention from you bid the smartest spit.
9:42:55
Speaker 7: Steed.
9:43:00
Speaker 4: Yeh look at me, look you know.
9:43:05
Speaker 1: H yeah yeah
